[infinix hot 10 x682c] How can I install twrp if I'm not rooted?

I was following this guide to get twrp, but it says I need root explorer. I can't get that since I'm not rooted. I tried magisk but both the patched boot and recovery images makes my device bootloop. It's an infinix hot 10 x682c. I need twrp to install magisk. So what do I do? And if I can't install twrp, what other rooting methods are there that I can use?

you don't need twrp to install magisk ...

As I said in the post, patching the boot or recovery images makes my device boot loop

You don’t need to root your device to install TWRP, but you will need to unlock device's bootloader, which will erase all the content on your device.

I’ve already unlocked it, that’s not the point here. Since there aren’t any official builds for my device, I need to build one myself. The problem is there are certain info that I need but can only be obtained by rooting (which I can’t do). Hope this makes sense

Hint: Add infinix hot 10 x682c to this thread's title thus mainly fellow members who own this device get addressed.

what info you need dude. Just tell me because i have rooted infinix hot 10 sucessfully. So i can give you that info. You can contact me on whatsapp 8077848525. I will also guide to to root without bootloops problem

Assuming your bootloader is unlocked, once your phone is in recovery mode use the volume buttons to scroll to 'Fastboot' or 'Download Mode', then press the power button to select it. Replace 'twrp-version' with the exact file name of the . img file you downloaded. Hit Enter to install TWRP to your phone.

I managed to find a way. Lol I'm just going to have to squeeze the old brain to to get this done it looks like. Thanks for the tip. The methods provided all require a system dump of stock firmware to patch TWRP for the phones recovery partition. I may have to cross my fingers and flash the generic unofficial boot image TWRP for android 10 and hope it fits lol. There are absolutely no custom fits at the moment. Of course I accepted the security patch update which made this a bit more tricky. QP1A.190711.020. I found a thread talking about almost the same update except it was two digits more than the version I got. It's been 6 or 7 years since I stopped theming for the galaxy s3. Course I was only changing xmls and pngs for custom roms back then. None of my old team are active anymore. Team Venum and team nOObz are long history. I even lost my log in info for my old profile. Anyways. Wish me luck. I'm going to learn how to port and develope this time around.

Hello. Thanks again in advance. I've tried several command prompt methods to unlock this boot loader with no luck including the Magisk method. I have however managed to patch the TWRP file.

I managed to patch the TWRP boot image using the Magisk apk and patch tools but I have no luck unlocking the boot loader..

1. find your firmware file by searching this forum for blu stock firmware repository
2. extract your boot/recovery img file using spd flash tool
3. patch img file with magisk, re-sign it with avbtools
4. patch vbmeta file with avbtools
5. re-flash both vbmeta and boot/recovery using spd research tool
rooted my blu advance l5 with these steps learned from hovatek. ymmv

Can anyone quickly tell me the easiest way to brick this device? My wife will buy me a new phone "when this one stops working"

Did anyone manage to root this device without bricking it? Firmware is not available in the Blu Repo (at least not yet). Our team would love to find a workable method for this phone. We have access to a bunch and want to be able to run Linux Deploy on them and also write app to automatically reboot the phone if the network connectivity is loss.

Hey, I was able to figure out how to deal with this bootloader stuff after many hours of work
Give this thread a look, it pretty much details every step needed to unlock the bootloader: https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-32287.html
Keep in mind that the OP of that thread is using a way older version of fastboot. For me, r26.0.1 worked best:
Windows: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r26.0.1-windows.zip
Mac: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r26.0.1-darwin.zip
Linux: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r26.0.1-linux.zip
The above step is essential as newer versions of fastboot do NOT have the "fastboot flashing unlock_bootloader <bin>" step
again YMMV, but good luck

Me again, 6 hrs after the fact
Trial and Error enabled root on the V50 - follow these steps
1. Unlock bootloader as above
2. Create a custom signed vbmeta https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-32664.html (I used the same .pem from https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-32287.html to do this) - Make sure the VBMETA IS ANDROID 10 despite G0350WW firmware saying it's Android 9
3. Create custom boot with magisk (plenty of instructions to do this online, go with the github instructions)
4. Sign the custom magisk boot with THE SAME PUB KEY FROM STEP 2
5. Flash your new vbmeta and boot onto your phone via fastboot
6. Reboot, hope and pray it turns on
This is what worked for me, but again YMMV.

Correct, you can see it when you go to the firmware details of the v50 itself. You can get the firmware files when you search this forum for blu stock firmware repository
V50 is essentially a re-wrapped g50

Hey, is there any way you could get me a rooted image and signed vbmeta? I have all the information that you would need, I just can't do the steps because im stupid. I would pay you to do it if you wanted

If the BLU V50 uses the same stock rom as the blu g50, if someone were to give out their patched vb meta and boot img, wouldn't it work for anyones BLU V50 if they just flashed it?

Actually you can unlock the Bootloader. I already did. I don't know how to follow that tutorial. If I gave you my boot and vbmeta could you do it for me?

oh weird i thought blu doesnt even support bootloader unlocking
can you access fastboot? with an unlocked bootloader you can flash an empty vbmeta and dont have to go through the above steps

root lg velvet snapdragon 845

hi any chance of rooting or twrp for the lg velvet 910emw the one with 4g and snapdragon 845 european version?
thanks...

Redicat said:
Sorry late reply, The only way to root as far is to unlock the bootloader (European market ONLY) go to the LG developer website for LG Velvet bootloader unlock HERE OR HERE if link does not work.
As there is no TWRP for LG Velvet 4G as of now you'll need to download LGs Velvet 4G firmware for your model and region to flash boot.img/recovery.img with MAGISK. But LG firmware is in .kdb format not .zip the only method i know that works is to download kdztools AND use Python WITH zstandard package installed.
CMD to the kdztools directory and follow the guide in either GitHub/readme.txt that comes with kdztools use help commands and you'll be able to extract boot.img/recovery.img ONLY patch/flash 1/2 prefer to use boot.img if magisk shows you have ramdisk on your device patch it with magisk and flash it in fastboot follow Magisk install guide and DONE you're now rooted!
Only works for Europe cause bootloader, sad for anyone else, sorry!

Question about rooting my 8T KB2005 on OOS 11.0.8.13.KB05AA

Hello all,
I installed the latest update for my 8T KB2005 which is 11.0.8.13.KB05AA. I have unlocked the bootloader and would like to root it, however I'm not sure if it is possible to root from my current firmware version. Some root methods I read about say I need the stock image of my OS, but I believe my current firmware version is an incremental update and that will not work? I read it's possible to use payload dumper to get my image, but this doesn't work with incremental updates either. Maybe I am misunderstanding things. If someone could enlighten me, that would be greatly appreciated. Is is possible to root from my current firmware?
*Update: upon researching further, one possible solutions seems to be using the MSM tool to downgrade to an older version of OOS, then locally upgrading to 11.0.8.11.KB05AA, and then being my root process from there. I will attempt this, but if anyone knows if a root method from 11.0.8.13.KB05AA. I would like to know as well

You don't need to use the MSM route. It's far simpler to patch the stock boot or use a patched stock boot.
@g96818 had kindly posted the boot image(s) you need in thread '[Guide] How to ROOT OnePlus8T (CN/IN/EU/US) KB2000,KB2001,KB2003,KB2005' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...00-kb2001-kb2003-kb2005.4178675/post-85165277

Its possible to use adb to pull the boot image and patch it in magisk. Then you use fastboot to boot from that image( not flash) and do direct install from magisk.

You can only do that if the phone is rooted. You need root access to pull a boot image from /dev/block/by-name/boot_[ab].

In a non root situation you can boot the semi working twrp posted here somewhere which gives a root adb shell via usb.

Question ROM on Samsung A12 (SM-A127M).

Hello, I have the SM-A127M.
I have been able to do the following:
1.Unlock the Bootloader.
2. Root with Magisk.
But I want to follow this Guide "Installing TWRP and LInageOS" and I have the following questions:
1. Is it possible to install LineageOS on SM-A127M?
2. Is there a version of TWRP for Android 11 on the SM-A127M? Download a version to install with Odin as AP from here: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/a12/
But the only thing it did was go into an infinite loop in Download mode. Lucky that I was able to unbrick it by flashing the full firmware.
3. Is the reason for switching to LineageOS to improve the phone's performance, do those who already have it really feel an improvement in performance or is it the same as using it with Stock Android from Samsung?
Thank you for your answers.

Don't bother bro, nobody responds to the A127M variant, I got the same phone and a few post before yours i wonder to a custom rom and no one reply.

I think so. Have you tried this model using the installation guides on the forum to install TWRP and/or LineageOS? Have they worked for you? Have they failed you? It does not matter if it is for this specific model.
Thanks in advance.

no my mate, I don't do that for fear to brick the device 'cause it's my main phone and the backup phone have a issue with the battery. Thanks for the suggest.

I have the same phone, but i searched for a12s(sm-a127f) because the specs are the same

The physwizz dev have all on his channel. Twrp kernel etc... I've tried the twrp for this phone and it works well.

Twrp is fine but LineageOS no dont you cant call or text at all sometimes the sim isnt recognised even mention it in the sub reddit and everyone screams at you to download the official even though it happens on official builds

Try installing this custom and unofficial twrp for A12 Nacho.
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=330751
[ODIN] If you couldn't install it on AP, try to install it on BL.
(No need to disable vbmeta I guess cuz I installed it on my a127m and my phone just booted normal)
