Hello, few weeks ago I bought a brand new Realme Pad LTE. This is really a very underestimated device considering it has on average more ram than competitors at better pricetags and a respectable octa-core processor with all the usual amenities a tablet should have along good lasting battery, no company bloatware and a solid construction in 2022. Unfortunately there is no support topic on XDA or elsewhere, and can't find a way to root it. There is no TWRP, no OTA or firmware available to download from the manufacturer nor a specific tool to dump the boot.img from the device, just unlock the bootloader and that's all. I am desperate, because otherwise I will have to return it and buy Samsung at an higher price - which I dumped for many reasons - just for the peace of mind of having support from LOS community, a working Magisk build and TWRP flashed for my backups and screw-ups. What can I do?
Because you're able to unlock tablet's bootloader you also should be able to dump tablet's boot.img by means of ADB applying Android's shell command named dd - what of course requires tablet's Android is got ( at least temporarily ) rooted.

That's why I am trying to get a boot.img. I need to root my device, and for that I need - to my understanding - to patch boot.img from this device on the Magisk app. I am a noob at all this terminal stuff, and struggled for days only to find an answer on how to unlock the bootloader on such a poorly documented/ignored device. I honestly don't understand what do you mean by "temporarily rooted" and I am also clueless on how *dd* command works or how/what path should I input over adb shell. Can you or everyone else help me out on this?
Android OS is rooted if it has su ( read: switch user ) functionality implemented.
By default this functionality is left of by OEM. Hence you've to add it by your own.
This can get achieved by means of ADB - if temporary root is your goal - or Magisk - if permament root is your goal - where the latter method patches Android's boot.img and other system files, so you no longer have a boot.img in it's initial state.
If to have a temporary root is intended, then all what is needed is to push a suitable su binary to Android's filesystem and make this binary executable.
With regards to su and dd commands: as always GIYF.

I have pretty much a stock Android 11 as OEM firmware so its my assumption it could be enabled, otherwise I have no idea of how to find out or where to find a suitable su binary for it. Anyway, my goal is to have a permanent root, so I can backup or remove system apps or eventually flash the **** out of this tablet if ever a dev pulls out a custom build for it. Also, to my understanding, flashing a Magisk zip from stock recovery or attempting adb sideload without a TWRP are a no-go, meaning I have Magisk only as apk package available to install.
From Google (the irony, I had to search for GIYF to find out what meant) I only found - for now - people that either describe a situation with a specific device that requires extra steps, or do a 180° and start rambling over TWRP stuff like it was taken for granted everyone has access to an official/unofficial build to extract that damn file. *sighs*

Hi, unfortunately I returned the tablet since there was no way up to this day to root it. You can indeed unlock the bootloader but fastboot prevents you from using sideload and since there is not a recovery for this specific tablet, and Realme support will flip you off if you ask for a firmware download, you're on your own.

Thanks for the answer. That's really stupid customer approach as for the brand trying to get into tablet market. In this case I'll probably buy samsung tab a8 or lenovo p11 instead.

Yeah, definitely. On one thing tho this tablet rocks; basic stuff like managing Netflix and using Android Auto for navigation from the tablet itself; the S6 Lite I now own can't even do that, in fact Netflix sucks and no support for AA has been even integrated despite having even the most community support. Who knows if there isn't even a longer list of unsupported daily use apps out there... By the way check P11 and A8 respective forums before making a decision; there is no certainty of support for root, recovery and all that good stuff despite being devices of recent production.

Hello all,
I got a ZTE Grand X view 2 (K81) tablet from virgin Mobile in Toronto, Canada and I have the sim locked to my imei number. I would like to root this tablet so I can remove unnecessary applications. It is slow as it has <1gb and the internal memory is 8gb. So far the one click root apps I have tried (kingroot, iroot) don't work. What are other options I have for this device?
It is running Android 7.1.1 with the June 1, 2017 security patches
Thanks Karl

One-click root apps won't work. You either go the Magisk patched boot way or Custom recovery + Magisk / SuperSU zip.
What's your phone's chipset?

Its Qualcomm. To root, you'll need either stock boot.img or recovery.img. Do you have the firmware for your model?

Have you had any luck finding firmware for this device.... i need to frp bypass mine as i bought it online and am left in a predicament now... The keyboard doesn't allow to access any settings so getting through the FRP part is an issue... no way to downgrade the firmware either because it is running 7.1 . I also can't find custom recoveries anywhere i look online.... if you have some insight or a solution please let me know.

Not yet, I switched my SD card back to portable and tried to look around the system using adb shell without any luck. The system is locked down tight and I don't have permission to view most directories. I also contacted ZTE for the recovery img, they thought I was talking about backing up photos
I have same tablet from virgin mobile Canada. I have solid explorer, and it allows me to have root file access out of the box. I deleted bloat apks, was gtg. Not sure if it's normal behavior. I was shocked to see root file system out of the box. P.S any developers that a full system dump would help, I can probably do. After more poking around, I don't have full root access, but I do have read/write to system folder with build.prop etc

I just downloaded and installed solid explorer and the classic versions. Not luck viewing the / file system. If you can get the boot file and post a link to it that would be helpful for the magisk rooting method.
-I was able to use a google account manager app and downloaded/installed qucik_shortcut_2.4.0 this allows you access the launcher and partially use this device... I was able to set the username of the device but to no avail i am unable to use that combo to strip out the previous user's information. there's a method online to show you how to use the talkback settings to get to this point and i used my knowledge of frp bypassing samsung devices to get a little further. the developer options setting is still locked because it doesn't recognize me as the primary user. Its very frustrating. I'm able to sign into chrome with my credentials and access gmail through the browser but as far as getting my account onto this device its been days of trying and my girlfriend is just disgusted with my persistence. I don't know if or when an oreo update will be made available that this will help solve the problem, but i can't believe zte doesn't have the stock firmware anywhere online.
any of you fellow nerds out there that can help please do... I use an S3 for my daily use because well, they're so amazing to customize but the battery is crap because its so old. One thing i have found is with this zte you can at least play the "catch the cat" easter egg game, which is a complete waste of time but fun at the same time.
I'm not sure if this will help but i might as well. I'm also stuck with a zteK81 i'd REALLY love to root. I never had to go really deep into android stuff so tbh ... i've read alot ... but beside knowing i can't root it yet after a couple diff. method... im a bit confuse in all that. Up here i read ppls about looking for the Firmwire and someone else searching for the root. I have pull some pretty deep layer files in mine that may .. may not help you guys. I can't read that correctly. Here's 3 images and i have a little 7z with the actual files and 3-4 more if someone request it. Thanks.

Continued Interest
Is there any interest in rooting the ZTE K81?
Currently, I have a copy of the stock ROM and am trying to modify update.zip using Magisk to mod the boot.img file. I heed help with the signing of the modified update.zip package.
Any Suggestions?

To date I have found no way to even perform the OEM Unlock on this device and none of the available rooting schemas are of any use.
If I cannot determine how the sing the modified update.zip file, I am out of ideas.
I have a copy of the ZTE stock rom for the K81 and, if there is a more experienced person willing to take a shot at this, I will happily make the rom available to them.

Hello, so it is common that ZTE's don't have any form of fastboot. So your only way is to flash via QPST with a firehose. But today is your lucky day. I was able to extract the k81's firehose from the Rogers ZTE firmware flashing tool. I have also downloaded the full QPST firmware fire and included the firehose with it. As well as a separate download in case someone already has it. I will also be ordering the device shortly. If you have newer firmware, or one designed for a variant other the rogers would be great if you can share it.

Where do you get or how do you create the rawprogram0.xml file. Presumably the directory structure information is available somewhere in the kernel or the ROM but, methods to extract the information into an XML evade me.
A tweet from John Wu a person who created Magisk:
"I am informed that a new Huawei OTA will make installing Magisk unable to boot at all. At this point I might just simply ignore this brand even exists."
First they stopped providing us codes for unlocking bootloader and now we won't be able to root our phones?
Is root necessary for flashing custom ROMs on our device? As I remember I only needed to unlock bootloader to do that on a Samsung phone.

Already in AL varient.Won't boot after magisk installation.As for now we can flash custom roms but I read that Honor is going to remove FRP lock switch,which will make you unable to flash at all.To be honest this brand is nothing but rubbish in terms of Android tweaking etc.

No, you don't need to have root to flash custom. But you have to have access to PC to flash it through fastboot

IF huawei wouldn't lock anything else - yes. But on Huawei you flash ROM directly through fastboot (since all custom roms are treble ones), not in recovery.
However i wouldn't wait, because maybe next OTA will lock something else. and you will be forced to use EMUI.

Thanks for help.
For now, I'm up to B372, and still able to do whatever I want, fyi.
Keep on updating... and supporting the Apple wannabees of the Android world. They learned and stole the ideas they wanted from the community and now will completely lock out the devices, bootloaders, root methods, anti-rollback measures, etc.
Oh, and as for that "spying" part? Just search for "Huawei D.U.B.A.I.". Every single aspect, action, usage and telemetry of your device is logged and sent to Huawei's Big Data Analytics servers, and it's embedded on kernel and can't be disabled. Most i could do on my kernel was disabling it on GPU framework, but the rest remains. If i turn it off on kernel or eliminate it, the mobile comms framework is killed and sim card doesn't even get activated, turning your device into a small tablet at most... so you either accept it or get yourself another phone.
Since using Treble Roms gets rid of the "system" part of EMUI, like their store, services, etc, it's possible that the Analytics part is somewhat suppressed but i can't be sure of that.
My advice is, stop updating EMUI and go Treble. Or just sell your device and get another. Or just resign to the new Huawei's reality and forget this community.
Hello guys,
I made a big mistake - I bought the Mediapad T5 in the 16GB 2 GB Ram version because I thought this is enough - however, it turns out that their EMUI occupies already 1.6 GB of RAM and therefore, even the keyboard crashes, lots of jerks when playing a video in HD, apps crash it is really a mess;
So the only idea I had (although I am not too familiar with custom ROMS) to replace EMUI by some system which does not occupy too much RAM; So I first was frustrated that the bootloader is naturally locked but I found a solution by downgrading the system and then unlock the bootlader with DC unlocker for around 4$;
Now I think I need to do the following steps:
1. Install TWRP
2. Flash a new OS
3. use TWRP to install a patch called the "low-ram property patcher", see here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...mod-low-ram-property-patcher-android-t3737373
Now in theory it seems easy; TWRP is naturally compatible to my device, right? So I can probably find many explanations how to get it; But then I need to find a new OS compatible for my device which is a problem; I want an OS compatible to my device with not too high RAM consumption; I thought of Lineage 15.1 but only the Mediapad M5, not the Mediapad T5 is supported; So anyone an idea what OS I can choose?
Many thanks

Hi everyone.
I have a Huawei mediapad T5 AGS2-L09. It has 2 GB RAM and 16 GB internal memory.
I updated the software and a new option in the developers optons emerged:
"OEM Unlocking" - Allow the bootloader to be unlocked
When I turn it on a dialog box pops up with a warning:
"WARNING: Device protection features will not work on this device if this setting is enabled."
You have the option to CANCEL or ENABLE.
This is it, right?
Does anyone know how to root it from here and hopefully has a custom ROM?
The build number: AGS2-L09 8.0.0.222(OCEC432)
Android security patch: September 5, 2019
This option may or may not help. On Xiaomi devices the bootloader can only be unlocked by Xiaomi. The option you see in do is not made by Lenovo I think, it is an Android option. Please check it and try to install TWRP. Afaik Huawei does not allow unlocking...
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO USE ONLY TWRP THAT IS PROOVEN TO WORK WITH YOUR DEVICE!!!!

Because it's Huawei, they don't want your device unlocked and replaced with unsanctioned software so you can remove the Chinese government spyware
Hello, Can any smart person because I'm slow lol help me get the Recovery or the Boot.img for a Motorola Edge 2021, My version is 12 (S1RMS32.48-18-11-2-3). Thanks
You can download a factory image straight from Motorola themselves, using the Lenovo "Rescue and Smart Assistant" (Lenovo RSA).
I personally used this excellent guide from another user right on this very form, that also mentions grabbing the image(s).
Root Edge 2021 with Magisk
I finally did it last weekend. It's pretty straightforward and it's no difference from other Moto phones I rooted. Definitely, bootloader MUST be unlocked. A new purchased phone must wait 96 hours to have OEM unlock toggled. You should have...

I understand that yes but my problem is that I don't have a laptop or PC to run the program so I'm trying to find another way to get the firmware for my Edge 2021, And if I can't do that is there any custom ROM compatible with this device that I could use to patch it with magisk?
So far I have not seen any custom ROMs supporting this device (I think it should come eventually; the last gen has support).
This post includes a download link for an up to date Android 11 ROM. I haven't used it yet though. I'm a little nervous about downloading ROMs from random links, but since I used the guide from the same user (last post you replied to), it feels trustworthy. But use at your own risk.

oh forgive me for forgetting to mention this...
but I'm 99% sure you REQUIRE a PC to flash images onto a phone, since you use the adb debug tool to manipulate the phone while it's in fastboot mode.

I did try it but instead of fully flashing the img I just did fastboot boot so that it would only boot into it one time and it didn't work at all so my only chance of rooting my device is using a PC to get the firmware of my phone, And thanks for the help.
Hi! I recently got a Honor X7a. Does anyone know how to sideload GSI images using DSU? Bootloader unlock is enabled, but no option for DSU loader. I tried DSU sideloader many times and adb but I keep getting a notification saying installation failed. I might have done something wrong using adb. Not sure.
Device: Honor X7a
Android version:12
GSI image used: Stock GSI from Google/Android developers website
Partition style: A/B
It has been a while since I have been modding android devices so it would be nice if you gave me instructions for doing this using ADB, I did do it using instructions and android developers website but I might have done it wrong
Thanks!
Hey! I just got the X7a today, how did you unlock the bootloader?
Have you been able to do other things like rooting and installing a custom recovery?
Thanks in advance!

Tap build number 7 times to get developer options, you should see oem unlock, just tap on that
I am not sure if the options come in all firmware versions(global,chinese,etc)
THIS MAY VOID WARRANTY
I have not been able to do anything else yet as we need it's firmware image to get boot.img for rooting

Oh I see.
Yeah I already had oem unlock enabled but that's as far as I got.... same as you.
You're the only one to even mention the X7a on this forum, so I doubt there's going to be any development for it...
What a shame , damn Huawei and Honor for blocking that possibility

Guess we made some kind of progress
I got the update url for the recent update with security patch and new apps, here it is:
https://update.hihonorcdn.com/TDS/data/bl/files/v152469/f1/full/update_base.zip
I am pretty sure I have the global version
and not so sure if this has the files for magisk root(I am not doing that right now)
Hi!
I got the update url for the new update that came a few days ago, here it is
https://update.hihonorcdn.com/TDS/data/bl/files/v152469/f1/full/update_base.zip
But I doubt it has boot.img, I am downloading it now as its less than half a gigabyte

I extracted the update files, no boot.img. I may try to dump the firmware using mtk client, but I heard it is risky

Well it's clear you know way more than me on this . Let me know if you are able to make any progress!
I got no progress yet in rooting, but I did email XDA and now we got a forum page for the X7A : )
