[Q] Help with rooting Infinix Hot 11 play X688B - General Questions and Answers

I recently bought Infinix Hot 11 play X688B and I want to root it or install custom rom to remove bloat and spyware but I'm very newbie at this and I'm not sure from where to start
I can access to PC and ADB (on linux)

To install a suitable Custom ROM a device-matching Custom Recovery must get installed beforehand.

You must not root device's Android to flash a Custom ROM. Root is only needed to debloat Android. Take note that you can temporarily root Android.

To be honest first I wanted to install custom rom to escape whole infinix world and spyware but later (and after looking) I found there are no custom roms so I'm stuck with root to debloat my device so I'm sorry for my stupidness but can you explain to me what do I need to do exactly to root it? I remember in past I download some APKs and boom it's rooted but seems it's not the case anymore so what should I do

Okay so I looked up more and I have an option called "Unlock bootloader" so I think I can unlock it so what else stop me from rooting my device?

The so-called "root" is a functionality of Android OS, has nothing to do with a device's bootloader what starts device's Linux kernel and afterwards Android OS.

Don't confuse things.

Oh I'm already confused
I see people talk online about "unlocking the bootloader" before they get into rooting stage so I said okay I have that already so in summery there is no luck for me to root my device?

You need installing img file with correct vbmeta file or using vbmeta modified.
Here the TWRP: TWRP TEST USB
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash recovery recoveryTWRP.img
fastboot reboot-recovery
if you not have vbmeta modified and want use one so use this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachments/vbmetaandroidsc_mod-zip.5338181/

[Q] Rooting the H60-L02 with EMUI 3.0

Hey there,
I just received a H60-L02 shipped from Mainland China. Being on OS X, I had no trouble installing adb and unlocking the boot loader.
There is something I don't understand though : to gain root access on my phone, I need to install a modified ROM of Huawei's android upper layer ? Why is that so ? Do I need to find a ClockWordMod H60-L02 EMUI 3.0 Rom to root my H6 ?

Thanks, but I can't do that, insofar as I can't run .exe on OS X. Also, I'm trying to understand the basic concepts of rooting on android, in order not to **** things up by doing things I would do on other linux distribs. From what I get, rooting is installing a modified ROM in which everyone is a superuser ?

rooting is getting superuser access to any rom, if you take a look at the batch file, there is a link where you can download twrp, put it in the same directory where fastboot and adb files are
Code:
adb kill-server
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_2.8.0.1_h60.img
fastboot reboot
adb wait-for-device
adb reboot recovery
fastboot devices
Ok it works. From what I get, twrp is a manager that enables you, once the boot loader is unlocked, to flash whatever you want on your android system. So you flash SuperSu, and it is done.
Thanks a lot for your help and explanations !:good::good::good:

[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 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.

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.

im working on a Umidigi A7 Pro. having the same problem with bootlooping after flashing the patch via Smart Phone Flash Tool v5

Rooting a phone's Android OS has to be done on OS level, not on phone's bootloader level.

Technically spoken rooting Android OS simply is to add a binary called SU to Android's filesystem, nothing else.
Fastboot operates on a phone's bootloader, not on phone's Android OS.

[Q] Help with rooting Infinix Hot 11s

Heya!
I was wondering if there are any existing tools or information about rooting Infinix Hot 11s? I've tried searching for anything related to it and I've seen a couple of threads with information about rooting old Infinix phones here, but to my understanding there isn't one related to this particular model.
It's powered by a Helio G88 processor and the operating system is a modified Android build called XOS. Full phone specs are here for anyone curious.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Rooting Android means installing a ~100KB piece of software ( SU-binary ) on it.
So either push a matching SU-binary onto Android filesystem or replace the pre-installed ( restricted ) version of Toybox with a matching unrestricted one, wil say with one that has SU-cmdlet incorporated.

Hi, thanks for the response!
I understand, but how would I go about doing that with this particular phone? Because to my understanding, I need TWRP, I haven't found a TWRP version for my phone and I fear using a TWRP build from other phones or older Infinix phone models might brick it. If ever I have to port TWRP, is there some sort of guide for me to follow so I can try making a build of TWRP that works with this?
Thanks!
To add a suitable SU-binary to Android's filesystem TWRP in NO case is needed: you do it via ADB.
Example:
Code:
adb devices
adb push <LOCATION_OF_SUITABLE_SU_BINARY_ON_PC> /data/local/tmp/
adb shell "chmod +x /data/local/tmp/su"
I recently bought this phone and is looking for a way to root it safely as i want to remove bloatware and use some apps that need root (like screenrecording without microphone and just internal audio, i heard that needs the magisk module?)
is there a way to root it preferably without a pc and i dont want to wipe my data unless really necessary, i have also unlocked the oem bootloader from dev options as this phone uses a custom version of android 10 (xos dolphin 7.0), processor is mediatek helios something as far as i know, just for reference

Hey! I tried following what you said, but unfortunately it did not work. I found a thread with instructions quite similar to what you posted: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/universal-guide-root-any-android-device-manually.2684210/
The original poster said that this method no longer works. Is this true?

the 2 lines of code shown above by me always worked for me, at any Android version - at least up to Android 10, and should work on Android 11, too
also do any of you have links to the stock rom for infinix hot 11s nfc? I bricked my phone trying to install the wrong twrp for this phone. Thanks.
So, any luck in rooting Hot 11s? This xos skin is driving me nuts. Always closing background processes, and sometimes even foreground process. We desperately need a twrp for this device.
Here is how to do it
Download your phone's latest firmware (the one you are running ) extract the boot.img from it and put it in your internal storage and install magisk from github
Press install in it and it would prompt you flashing a boot.img do that
Then copy the patched img to your pc
Then in platform-tools (search for it on google) click on the address bar then type cmd
From there type in (adb reboot bootloader) make sure your usb debugging is on
Then when it reboots to fastboot
Type (fastboot flash boot *your patched boot.img*)
That's exactly how i rooted my phone and i have an infinix hot 10s
And this method is universal
I want to install custom ROM on my infinix hot 11s, PLEASE someone work on it. HELP US!
We need developer support for infinix hot 11s please someone make TWRP and custom rom for it
Me to, please anyone develop custom rom and twrp for infinix hot 11s

Hey! If you successfully do that method, do you know how to fix the problem "<waiting for any devices>" in fastboot? Is it because of the driver for my device or other cases? Thank you in advance.

It's fine now, everything is work for the fastboot and I just need to find the right driver for my device. But still...do I need to unlock the bootloader first to be able flashing or do some commands? And since it's hard to find the firmware for my device, how to get the boot.img out of my phone? Knowing that Infinix Hot 11s NFC is a brand new phone and as far as I know it's regional based for Indonesia's market only. CMIIW.

and I'm not sure but I think unlocking bootloader and rooting your device is totally different things so probably not

Question Root Oneplus 9 with android 12 already installed

Can i unlock the bootloader and then boot to twrp recovery (from pc) to install magisk.zip or does this not work for android 12 ?
TWRP not compatible with android 12, yet.
i presume you know that when you unlock the bootloader, your device will be reset to factory?
Yes I know that unlocking the bootloader will factory reset the device. Is there some recovery I can use with Android 12 ?
I can't find a guide on how to root from scratch android 12.
