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.

to be clear, the v50 uses the same firmware as the g50 plus?

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?

If I unlock the Bootloader, could I just flash it back with Fastboot?
Just tried flashing recovery and it bricked my phone

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?

Hello,
I have scoured the forums ever since the update to try and get back to where I was, with TWRP, and a rooted phone. TWRP is not as important as root is.
I saw that there is a way to get root if following these instructions:
Rooting OP7 Pro OOS11
Where can i find instructions to root my phone having Android 11?
forum.xda-developers.com
However, are there any specifics or edge cases I need to be aware of? For example, if I am on the newest update versus the first beta update that rolled around a few months ago? At what point on Android 11 and OOS 11 do these instructions not work?
And I was wondering if someone can please provide some links to make it a bit easier for me (of the boot.img file and other things?), I actually leave the country in a week and so I really want to get this done before I leave, it would really make my life easier
Is there a way I can root without wiping my phone? And if I have to wipe, is there an app similar to Titanium Backup that's reliable that I would be able to use without root and restore some important data of apps?
Thank you!! Any help is appreciated

It's pretty simple. You just need to make sure you flash a patched boot image from the same build your device is on. The OP7 Pro forum is not very organized, and most of the available boot images are gdrive links buried in threads.
If you just so happen to be using the T-Mobile OP7 Pro, then I can help you. Otherwise you'll need to search around for a boot image for your device.
If you can get your hands on a stock boot image, you can copy it to your phone's SD card and use the Magisk Manager app to patch it. It will put the patched boot image in your phone's downloads folder. copy that to your PC and then use fastboot to flash it to your active boot partition

Thank you for the response.
I'm running a OnePlus 7 Pro
Android Version 11
Build Number: Oxygen OS 11.0.1.2.GM31CB
Model: GM1915
Is that the T-Mobile variant?

Yes it is. The boot image linked in this thread is exactly what you need. Flashing boot will not affect your system image or user data.

So after I download this boot image, I flash it using fastboot?
Because TWRP isn't available right?
Then after that, what do I do to root it?
Download the latest magisk?
Do I download the apk or flash that too using fastboot?

install Magisk Manager v23 on your phone.
flash boot a & b with fastboot.
reboot and done
noticed we've had some A12 roms for a little while now and for some reason now instead of flashing them, all of them seem to be sideloaded and using that roms custom recovery to sideload it instead of using something like twrp and normally flashing it. any reason this is the case with A12 roms? and is it possible to downgrade from an A12 rom back to OOS 11/10?
The reason for the sideloading is that there's no working version of TWRP for A12 that can decrypt the data partition, hence lineage created a custom recovery and I believe everyone else has copied it. As for the downgrading, you may be able to sideload a stock file, but I'd use the MSM tool to get back to OOS, although you should keep in mind you will need to unlock the bootloader once again.
Hi guys,

Is there any way you can give me a link to the file you flashed in twrp itself for the os? After it was made flashable?
Also, can you tell me how you reinstalled your partition scheme. As I also bricked my phone, and was just wondering if you can tell me like if you used odin or just installed through twrp? Thank you in advance!

sorry for late response, i flashed original fw with odin
Also, can you say if you flashed the original .img file for the pixel experience?
With this rom and assuming it is rooted, is one able to delete apps from the system\app (such as GearManagerStub as an example)?
Theres a website I found that gives steps to install GSI for a53. If anyone can verify or has the guts to do this.

There are typically 2 ways to flash GSIs.
The "safest" way would probably be to do it via TWRP. Otherwise, if TWRP is not available for your device, you can patch your stock recovery to enable Fastbootd and flash the partitions directly from ADB.
