Hi,
Can anybody help me how to unlock the bootloader and root Leagoo t10.
Thanks.
I solved it myself...
I finaly found a way how to unlock the bootloader...
1. I had to turn off the phone
2. hold the volume up button and insert the usb cable to connect to the pc
3. the phone starts at that point to recovery mode and after it I had to reboot to bootloader (from recovery)
4. then I could use the basic fastboot program (it finaly detected the phone via the commant "fastboot devices") and use the command "fastboot oem unlock" to unlock the bootloader
5. I finaly also had to folow the promt on the phone (the phone asked if I realy want to unlock it) to allow the bootloader to be unlocked
6. The bootloader is unlocked (when starting, the phone shows that its been unlocked)
I think that rooting after this wont be a problem...
PS
I forgot to mention that I also installed PdaNet drivers meanwhile which might be the cause fastboot was able to detect my device...
Hi
Finaly did you manage to root it successfully ?
I am just discovering this phone and I am very interested. But I need it to be rooted
Thanks
No not yet.... The trouble is not the root itself but the backing up before doing it... There are no rooting apps witch can do it automatized yet but that should be solved in the future... The problem is creating the scatter file for backup because the software doing that for Mediathek procesors was not updated for a while and can't handle the 67xx series...
There is presently a flash sale on gearbest, I just ordered it. I hope too that the necessary tools will be available some day. Thanks for the explanation. And wait...
You might be interested that a few days ago there is a downloadable version of the official Leagoo t10 software with all backups and the scatter file included... You can Google it but I believe it was page called something like " need ROMs"...
Now I could try now to Port a custom recovery but after 20 hours of trying I gave up for some time again.... I ported at least 6 recoveries from TWRP and CWM but non worked and the f*cking system of the Leagoo t10 has a failsafe witch automaticky recovers the factory recovery on any standard boot... You should look some time on that need ROMs website because if someone ports a functioning recovery on the t10 that is most probably the first place to be available... If you would have a custom recovery installed rooting would be no problem... Good luck with your new phone... I at least take it the way that I learned more about Android and the ways around it in three months than I have in that last three years thanks to Mediathek...
So I got a version of TWRP working only when you use fastboot to boot to it, the screen is frozen if you try to flash it.
Link here
command is fastboot boot <imgname>
You can root from there, not done much else but playing with it just now.
How did you managed to Port it? I tried at least 3 TWRPs from other mt6797 devices (and modified them trough image kitchen) but none worked... I also tried once to boot to one trough fastboot but that also didn't work... And you said you rooted it with that TWRP but woul it be possible to do MAGISK root this way? Because T10 has only Android 6.0 now and basic root would do the update (when it comes out) harder...
Thanks.
It took me a few hours but I got the LG K10 TWRP to work with it, not sure about MAGISK as I said I only just got it working. I see this device is discontinued now too so unlikely to see much more than this I think.
Thanks... If you got something else working please write about it because it's really hard to find anything useful about this device... And thank you again for the root advice, I will do it as soon as I have some time.
The root worked... With the TWRP from alpha232 I was able to install supersu 2.82 (trough "fastboot boot <image name>" to TWRP and install the zip from there) and my Leagoo T10 is now rooted... (Thanks Alpha232). If someone finds out a way to port TWRP for T10 I woul welcome it if he would share the way how to do it... I woul be also glad if someone could tell me how to go around the failsafe which restores the factory recovery on normal boot for this device.
I got a rca voyager 3 model RCT6973W43 and I need to flash a new rom which I cannot find anywhere. Can you send me a ROM and the flash tool? I got it free and I want to try it get it working. It’s stuck at the voyager 3 logo

I want to compile AOSP for it and not just root it. Have done it for my pixel but its easier with begin provided propitiatory blobs.
I found this other post on a similar device https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/guide-rca-voyager-rct6873w42-unlock-t3582973
Got into fastboot via usb debugging adb reboot fastboot (There doesn't appear to be a button shortcut to boot into it so you may be SOL even if a rom does come out)
Successfully Unlocked the bootloader
Was able to get a root shell via booting the cwm recovery
Dumped the boot.img, recovery.img via CWM but system failed
Was able to dump system via dd command
Still new to ROM building trying to understand vendor trees and device trees for building an AOSP ROM for it, noticed the system doesn't have a /device folder so a lot of tutorials don't seam too helpful.
Flashing the CWM recovery image from the above link breaks the recovery, had to flash back to old recovery, my next steps are to try and modify the stock recovery to enable adb so if i bork system i can button boot to recovery and use adb to get to fastboot otherwise it will be bricked...
Getting anywhere on this?

I realize this is an old post but I'm hoping you may be able to help me.
I just got this device and was wondering how you got the bootloader unlocked. When I try to select OEM unlock in settings it just jumps back to off. And fastboot flashing unlock gives me an error.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi yeah it's been a while since I bricked mine.. still sitting on a shelf as brick.. If I remember correctly when you do the OEM unlock from fastboot it flashes very briefly the screen to the unlock with instructions and button combination. What I did was run the command while using my phone to record the screen so see the instructions, then I went back watched the video to see what they were
I then went back to fastboot got the command ready again got my fingers in position before hitting enter and just tried to be as fast about it as possible and it worked for me.

I managed to get the bootloader unlocked on my Alco RCA Voyager III and just never got around to finding recovery or anything for it, this device a lost cause or am I just missing something? I don't think I can pull off making a recovery or rom yet but I can give it a shot if no one else is bothering with this device now a days.
@Trolldizzle How did you get it unlocked?
Thanks
@Isrgish I used fastboot flashing unlock command if I remember correctly, been a little bit since I did the unlock but I am like 90% sure that was the command.
i had get link here : findrom.info/rca-rct6973w43

Here you can find thr ROM. http://detonnot.com/3Xt3
im serous this is the worst device i ever had to root in my life. ive rooted meany devices and modded meany other stuff without issue, had one brick that i was then able to restore and get right the 2nd time. this time however this is the 2nd! pixel that has went into an unrecoverable bootlap when following root tutorials via magisk.
when i then attempt to unbrick eaither of the devices the fast boot official flash all dosent cut it, and adb ota restore dosen't work as recovery menu is destoyed., and dosent revive when original boot.img is flashed. when i looked at the first phone what i found on net is hawrdware issue can cause corruption in flash and cause them to be unrecoverable...... but a 2nd one now? is this upside down world?

In my opinion, you should use root tutorials from your phones forum, not magisk. You haven't explained what your steps were or even asked a question. If you tried using stable channel/files, try the canary debug channel and files instead. I've never had any problem rooting the pixels though I've read where the magisk version 20.2 has caused bootloops for some phones.
allright so it might just be the magisk. it was magisk 20.1 first phone magisk 20.2 2nd phone. i cannot boot into recovery mode and fastboot mode restoring ota dosen't work and it still bootlaps weather i restore just the boot_A and boot_B or whole thing. also where can i find unbrick and root tutorials made for my phone when looked it was mostly magisk and little TWRP.

Hi, I thing, that you need to download factory image (not OTA) for walleye:
Code:
https://developers.google.com/android/images#walleye
Latest SDK Platform Tools:
Code:
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
than boot to bootloader, open command prompt in folder with extracted SDK platform tools run flash-all.bat script with command:
Code:
flash-all.bat
This should format/flash your phone to "factory" state. Good luck.
Btw, I have no problem with magsik 20.1 neither with 20.2...
Just to rule the magisk thing out, I recently bought a used pixel 2 to replace my broken og pixel and I got round to unlocking it last night and had no issue gaining root using magisk 20.2 following the usual process.
Updated to latest platform tools.
Unlocked the bootloader via adb
Skipped through the set up and re enabled usb debugging
Rebooted to bootloader
fastboot booted twrp 3.3.0-0 via adb
flashed magisk 20.2 from fastbooted twrp
rebooted and all good.
If you are having problems booting to the existing recovery you could try fastboot booting the latest twrp in adb (may not work if you had a pin set up as may not be able to decrypt) and try flashing the original or fresh boot.img from there other than that follow the previous post and do a full re flash to stock.
Good luck

Translator from Russian: https://www.deepl.com/translator
Basically
1. Enable OEM Unlock in Developers Settings
2. (Your host PC should have LMSA installed) Open command window, and go to where ADB is
3. Turn your tablet off. Press and hold volume down and power buttons to enter bootloader
4. Enter the following in command window
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
. Answer yes to unlock bootloader
warning: your tablet is wiped during the process!!![/B]
5. Reboot
To root, patch boot with Magisk
You can use LMSA to download matching ROM, and use rescue to update ROM if necessary. You can get needed boot at c:/program data/LMSA/download/romfiles/
Copy boot.img to your phone and use Magisk to patch, and copy patched_boot.img back to host computer.
Turn your tablet off and enter bootloader
Switch to fastbootd
Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot
Flash the patched boot
Code:
fastboot flash boot
Press spacebar once and drag and drop the patched boot onto command window, and press enter
Reboot
does this work with Lenovo Pad Pro 2021 (SD870) ?
Thanks for the guide, I've successfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted with Magisk.
I also installed the unofficial TWRP from here: https://unofficialtwrp.com/twrp-3-4-2-root-lenovo-tb-j606f/
However I didn't flash the provided vbmeta.img and everything still seems to be working fine, including booting into TWRP.
Anyone know if not flashing it may cause issues to appear?
The reason I didn't flash it is because someone else on another thread here said they got stuck in a boot loop after flashing it and that after restoring they decided not to flash it and everything worked fine, which seems to be my experience too, but maybe there are implications I'm not aware of with not flashing it.
I had this issue too, I had to run the command:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock

DO IT ON YOUR OWEN RISK! I HAVE NOT TESTED ON A LENOVO TAB P11 YET!
These are the steps for rooting a Lenovo Tab M8 FHD!
I think essential are the points 19 to 21, to flash the boot.img ONCE AGAIN after vbmeta.img.
It discribes ... this part is key, otherwise you'll bootloop!
Fully charge tablet
Turn tablet on
Skip as much of the initial setup process as possible, however you MUST be connected to the WiFi in order to allow unlocking of your bootloader (Start -> More/Accept -> no wifi/Set-Up Offline -> skip setting current time set -> Choose reporting options / Hit Accept -> Skip Pin -> Skip Lenovo ID -> Lenovo User Experience Program (choose if you want to skip or not) -> Choose navigation etc) Get to the home screen
Swipe down from top of screen and open Settings
Developer Tools (enable dev tools if you don't yet have access) -> Enable USB Debugging
Developer Tools -> Enable OEM Unlocking (again, if you're not on WiFi, it may not allow you to do this)
Connect tablet usb and usb to computer (Click "allow" when the usb debugging popup comes up)
./adb devices (Make sure the computer can see the tablet)
./adb reboot bootloader
./fastboot devices (Make sure the computer can see the tablet)
./fastboot flashing unlock then press volume-up on the device
./fastboot reboot`
On the Lenovo loading splash screen, you should now get the Orange State alert that the device is unlocked. It may take a bit to reboot as you've just wiped all data again and it must do initial setup
Device boots up normally. Now you can do real setup steps if you like, or you can ignore everything like in Step 3 above.
Enable USB Debugging again (Step 4-5)
Grab the boot.img and vbmeta.img from the LMSA TB_8505FS_S300025_201015_BMP update. Copy the boot.img to the tablet, taking note of the location (e.g., ./adb push boot.img /sdcard/)
Install latest version of Magisk Manager (doesn't need to be the Canary version, can be the regular version) and patch the boot image.
Clicked on "Install" on the righthand top in magisk manager
Clicked on "Next" Righthand top.
Selected "Select and Patch a File".
picked the boot.img file I had copied in step 1. Take note of the location of the patched image (magisk_patched.img), and copy it to your PC.
Reboot into bootloader again (./adb reboot bootloader)
Flashed the magisk patched boot.img ./fastboot flash boot path/to/magisk_patched.img
Flash the VB meta with the disable-verification flag ./fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta path/to/vbmeta.img
Flashed the magisk patched boot.img AGAIN!!!!!! (this part is key, otherwise you'll bootloop) ./fastboot flash boot path/to/magisk_patched.img
Reboot, you should now be rooted (can confirm in Magisk Manager) ./fastboot reboot
Is it ok/safe to flash this to TB-J606L?
It is the same model but with sim card and 4G.
Sometimes WiFi vs 4G models have the same software and detect differences on startup and sometimes not... Not sure about this model. I would prefer to not (soft)brick it.
Hi there. First time boot-unlocker needing help. I also have the P11 TB-J606F and would like to root it. I believe I need to do this first. I cannot seem to get any response from the tablet when doing this. In "regular tablet" mode I can connect and do ADB-commands, but in this "bootloader" mode I cannot seem to connect. I just get "Waiting for any device"
Could it be a driver issue? In device manager there is an Android device with an exclamation mark? I have no clue how to update this? Automatic doesn't work and I can't seem to find any drivers that work. I am not sure if this indeed is the problem, but you know - help needed, please.

Not sure if it helps. I had a similar issue with my Lenovo Tab M8 FHD.
The big issue was to get the android driver for win10, fastboot was not working. I found it under win10 update >> optional updates >>driver updates >> there was a medi.... as installable update. Afterthem fastboot was working fine.

Download and install LMSA and use Motorola ADB driver Device Manager
You should see P11 with no driver. Update driver > Let me choose > Android ADB > choose Motorola ADB driver

Be aware: The link above is not the right TWRP for the P11 Pro. I lost two days an bricked my tablet to find out that. The TWRP for P11 Pro is at https://unofficialtwrp.com/twrp-3-4-2-root-lenovo-tb-j706f/

Two questions:
1. Did anyone lose their Widevine level when unlocking, installing Magisk and/or rooting? I currently have L1 and would hate to lose that (to L3).
2. Is it possible to use the TWRP version for the TB-J706F for the TB-J716F as well? Basically, they are very similar devices, but the screen (90 Hz OLED) and processor (Snapdragon 870 instead of Snapdragon 730G) are different, but I don't know what is relevant for TWRP. Otherwise, could I also root without TWRP?
Thanks in advance!

1. Yes you will lose L1 when unlock bootloader
2. No , TWRP with very different hardware so don't hope so much .
I see there is no reason to root TB-J716F now, current firmware is stable and smooth

Is it possible to lock bootloader after rooting again and gaining L1 back with keeping device rooted?
That's true, but I want to use some rooted apps, like Titanium Backup and AdAway ;-)

you can root after unlock bootloade by patching boot.img from stock rom (by magisk ) and install magisk without TWRP
Hello everybody. I am new to rooting, I ended up soft bricking my device after I rooted it properly, and I'm not sure how to go about reflashing the rom from a soft brick. I am using android studio as my command line, and I am unable to enter fastboot using down volume and power. When booting to recovery mode the pixel displays No Command and I am unable to input anything. I have the stock rom for my device (bramble-rq1a.201205.011) and have already properly rooted it.
When I went to install several modules from the magisk manager my phone bricked and I am attempting to recover it. The main issue I have run into is that I cannot flash anything onto my pixel. My computer only recognizes the device when it is booted into recovery mode and it is listed as unauthorized. When I attempt to reboot the bootloader using >adb reboot-bootloader it lists that the device is unauthorized and This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set.
From what I understand the reason it is denying access is due to my device not having usb developer access but I'm not sure how to enable it since I am unable to access the device. I installed magisk prior to me bricking it and I have the backup image, the magisk patched image and the stock rom.
I am convinced that I can reflash all and reroot the device entirely again, but I don't know what to do from here, I have enabled the Google USB Driver in Android Studio and I can provide additional information if needed. Thanks for the help in advance.

Hold volume down when booting. If you got the timing wrong try again.
Also when the bootloader complains about you being rooted I'm fairly sure there's an option for getting to fastboot?

Yeah, that's normal. You don't want recovery, you want fastboot.

The pixel 4a is sunfish?!
I don't know what you are trying to do, but you will want to do one of two things.
1. Flash or boot the vanilla boot img to temporarily disable Magisk and use Magisk Manager to disable modules for when you boot up rooted again.
2. Boot TWRP and disable the modules from the cli (only if you know what you are doing).
Both need access to fastboot.
I have managed to get to the fastboot mode since you were right and I was timing it wrong. When I attempt to check for my device it does not show up under a list of devices, so I'm not sure if I can flash the image to my pixel even though I am in fastboot mode. I have attached a picture of the output for reference.
I simply wish to unbrick my device so I can use it again. I would rather keep my device rooted and uninstall whatever modules caused the issue in the first place.
If I flash the vanilla image does it uninstall magisk and reset everything to factory settings, or does it just temporarily disable it (I'm not sure how this works)? I don't know how to disable modules from cli using TWRP, but I am willing to learn, so if there are any resources I can use to research what this is and how to use it I would be thankful is I was pointed in the right direction.
If anyone has a list of common commands for rooting and an explanation of how they work I'd be thankful for that as well. Which commands do I need to flash the vanilla boot image? >adb flash imageName.img?

Since you are in fastboot, you need to use the fastboot tool, not adb.

If you flash the vanilla boot.img, you are only removing Magisk. but you need to flash the correct image or it won't boot. Each month is a new image.
Maybe this would be easier?
