Hello and welcomeNOTICE:This thread will be modified when new files are available.
Manufacturer: Rea*me
Device: Realme C21Y
Chipset: UNISOC T610
DEVICE CODENAME: RMX3263,RMX3261,RMX3262
Currently available files:
pre-built kernel(zImage) boot.img
device-tree.dtb(device tree blob)
device-tree-source.dts(device tree source)
kernel-configuration file, sepolicy, prop.default
EDIT:finaaaaally Rea*me released the kernel source for this device, I think it is time for you to compile !
https://github.com/realme-kernel-opensource/realme_C21Y-AndroidR-kernel-source/
unfortunately as you see, there is no kernel source and also a way to unlock the bootloader, the files are somehow not very important but maybe in the future they will be.
actually, you can build any custom rom for this device using the prebuilt kernel(zImage), without kernel source by using TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL="Path to zImage" variable, if you understood that's good, if not just search for it, then when you got the zip file you can use sp research tool to flash the built from source rom with a locked bootloader, because it is the only way to flash this phone's files with locked bootloader, these are the instructions that you'll need to do(please note that this is a theory only, i didn't test it and i am not responsible for bricked devices, at your own risk !):
Get the phone's stock rom for example from this link: https://romprovider.com/realme-rmx3263-flash-file-firmware-free/
then install the sp research tool(you need to use this one specifically, the sp flah tool works just in the factory): https://androidmtk.com/download-spd-research-tool
Link: then using this link follow the steps until you replaced the stock system.img to the GSI's system.img one.
then just flash it using the tool and you will success to flash the GSI rom.
Next the file device-tree-sorce.dts is the device tree source file.
To get the boot.img, download the boot.zip below, extract it and you'll have it, if you want to modify boot.img download AIK tool: then run the shell script on the boot.imh file(you can do it only in Linux).
well we hope we will find a way to unlock the bootloader, because it's the key for doing everything.
Have you tried realme Deep test App to unlock the bootloader.
Hey I was thinking of flashing the proton AOSP GSI on Realme C21Y. I have checked that realme c21y has Treble SUPPORT so I thought if you can give it a try if you happen to have a realme c21y available.
Here are the links of file and tutorials that I intend to follow .
Tutorial.
GSI ROM link : https://github.com/haridhayal11/treble_proton_aosp/releases/
The problem is that you can't unlock the bootloader. Not about installing a GSI.

I am really sorry. I just realised it Today when I was trying to unlock the bootloader.

Yes , I tried but the App refused to install.
I was able to boot my phone into FASTBOOT by using " ABD REBOOT BOOTLOADER"
fastboot command does work there but when I tried " fastboot flashing unlock"
The command failed .
The problem is that the device's community is dead. You can't find a griup or something like that to discuss.
Unfortuanately, i don't own that device anymore.

Yeah...I guess you're right.
It was a bad decision to buy THIS smartphone.
Unlocking the bootloader requires a key from the company.
I'll give you an advice: don't buy realme,vivo,oppo or whatever company exept samsung , xiaomi oneplus if you plan to install a custom rom...
I have a galaxy a20e and it is awesome i am using android 12.1 now (ofc custom rom)

I am one of those people who is the developer of the method, it is COMPLETELY SAFE, of course there are a lot of different tests, and lately we have almost completed twrp.

Thanks for the reply,
One more question, why is that every GSI that is loaded by this method has some kind of audio problem..
Without audio , this is almost a deal breaker....
Is there any method to use headphones on booted GSIs ??

Greetings, the problem with the headphones is partly related to the vendor, which is natural for A11, but for A12 and A13 it is not yet available, or rather it needs to be updated for this, which is comparable to know very well Same Kotlin.

You can't flash any version of TWRP. It has to be made specifically for the NEX S using their source code, which is currently closed.

by the way, without unlock the Bootloader , you can do nothing with vivo phones. maybe you can use aftool force flash a unofficial recovery but you can not get in the system

Twrp...done...
While the device is the cheapest offering from OnePlus, it's quite difficult to root it still..
* I somehow unlocked the bootloader after downloading dimensity drivers and using fastboot.
* The immediate next step was to extract boot.img from stock rom using payload dumper.. easy enough right? Apparently not!!.. There is no stock rom available on the OnePlus site for this device and it doesn't even support local upgrades..
There's no TWRP, Orangefox or any other recovery to install magisk as of yet.. I wonder what's wrong with the device and why one has to try so hard to root a simple phone..
If you're reading this and know a way to root, please help out..
Well it's a pretty new phone so that's why there's not much available for it yet. Have you tried googling oneplus ce 2 root. There's several guides but can't vouch for any of them.

I did Google for the rooting guides . But these are just generic with device name replaced by Nord ce2.. some sites don't even realise it's a dimensity processor and explain wrong procedures to unlock bootloader..
The one that concerned me was OnePlus official webpage showing model doesn't support local upgrades .. I couldn't find the security patch download I received a week ago too(in my phone's ota directory)
Could you provide the steps for root as well as the drivers and stock ROM?

You'll need to install mediatec dimensity drivers to enter fastboot and unlock bootloader/OEM..
From there on, you're pretty much on your own as OnePlus hasn't yet released any stock firmware yet and no custom recovery is supporting Nord ce 2

No custom recovery is supporting it YET. It's only just been released, sure these things will happen the more people buy the phone and the longer it's out.

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.

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)
Hi! Are there any pro’s out there that can help out with some issues, we are having with 3 phones.
It would be greatly appreciated. I believe we are not the only ones.
How can a BOOT.IMG be extracted from an Android Phone if there is no Stock Firmware ROM available?
All 3 phones manufactured in 2022.
The Bootloader is unlocked for all 3. USB Debugging is turned on.
- Moxee m2160 MH-T6000 only boots to Fastboot & Recovery. I have tried to restore but it will not restore.
- Vortex V22 has a GSI Pixel Experience Plus 13 ROM installed and is unable to go back to factory ROM image.
- ANS ACK2326 is on a stock Android 12 ROM and hasn’t been modified but has a build number kirk2_v1 2.0_BTM-ST.
Is it possible to get a Generic BOOT.IMG to modify for root?
Are there other ROMS like GSI’s with a BOOT.IMG that could work to try to get root?
Are there other ways to get root without a BOOT.IMG?
Is there a way to parse the entire phone to compile a BOOT.IMG?
The manufacturers were contacted. No system firmware ROM is available online that we could find after searching. We don’t have any experience searching china websites or know where to begin. If someone knows where we could find the stock ROM's on a China website that would be a great help!
Are we SOL? Are phones that don’t publish stock firmware that secure that if you need a BOOT.img from stock firmware to get to access the entire encrypted rom, you are out of luck?
Or, would we need a Jtag hardware reader?
Thank you in advance for your time and help which is greatly appreciated!
The boot image contains the kernel for that specific device; there is no such thing as a "generic boot image", as the kernel has to have the basic drivers for that specific device's hardware.
It's possible to dump the boot image if you already have root, but I'm assuming that the whole reason you want the boot image is to patch it with Magisk to gain root.
The alternative, if TWRP is available, is to use ADB through TWRP to dump the boot partition.
If you can't use TWRP and aren't rooted, there is no way to dump the boot partition through fastboot.

The alternative, if TWRP is available, is to use ADB through TWRP to dump the boot partition.
If you can't use TWRP and aren't rooted, there is no way to dump the boot partition through fastboot.

Thanks you for the reply! That is correct. Our ultimate goal is to gain root on these devices. Is Magisk the only root pathway or are there other rooting options?
Can you use ADB Shell, ADB root and dd to pull the boot partitions?
There is not a TWRP available for these devices. How would you go about making a TWRP for these phones? Do you need the stock firmware?

No, but it is the most popular and arguably the best

No, because again you need root to run adbd as root. I could be wrong...

I am not a developer so I have no idea but I imagine you'd need the original kernel source, yes.
If u have mtk there are many options
1:using mtk client
2: using mtk bypass and wwr2
Then if u have snapdragon u need the gfil software and the phone firehose programmer
another risky way is to flash rooted GSI. but in case it boot loops, you are screwed without stock ROM. the user @gregeerg ended up with a semi bricked phone, luckily he was able to pull boot.img from adb, so another member @Jet! with same device could finally root his phone and provide super.img for unbrick. So this method is only working if you have two identical phones.

I actually had or was going to ask this if there is a way to access firmware from the hardware level. Somehow the post never got posted or deleted.
Anyway, with MTK Client & QFIL, how complicated is it to extract the firmware from a device? Will it work with all devices, or will I run into issues with newer devices? I will do some researching on these and see what I can find. Thank you!

Interesting. Where can I get a rooted GSI? I tried to searching but couldn't find anything. Is there a special way to search for one. I would be willing to try this. I had a boot loop on one and a unofficial unrooted PixelExp13 GSi fixed it.

Thank you! I'm assuming these are all GSI builds from LOS 16-20? Am I also correct in saying the difference in the bgN, bvN, bvS, files? b = a/b system, g = gapps installed, v = vanilla - no gapps installed. N = No Root? S = Root?
To get a GSI that is already rooted, I must install the file with S in the filename?

OMG Thank you alecxs! Bravo! This is exactly what I was looking for! One install with no stock ROM rooted successfully!, two more to go. And especially thanks to andyyan for making this GSI image possible!

The Vortex V22 I got to work successfully with a GSI root. I was able to get root with the Moxee but I have yet to get a custom rom or working GSI rom. I'll post when I get a working rom with the Moxee. The ANS has been a bit of trouble because I cannot get the BL unlocked even though it has OEM unlocking turned on.

I do know it is available somewhere and most likely password protected but to my knowledge it hasn't been made publicly yet. I'm still waiting as well. I've be able to do some workarounds with the stock rom but I would really like to get access to the firmware or boot image.

I know right! I cant find hardly anything on the ACK2326 at all! I wish they would go ahead and make it public already.
Hi all,
I come from an old RN 4x (mido) to the RN 11 Pro 5G (veux) and a little bit lost
What steps should I absolutely do?
- ask for unlock bootloader : I have to wait 168h on miflash screen <=> I will wait
- download firmware : already with V13.0.5.0.SKCEUXM
- install firmware ?
- download TWRP or Orangefox ?
[SHARED][RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP 3.7.0_12 for VEUX/PEUX
Hello everyone, one user under the nickname yurxxl from the site 4 PDA, at my request, will assemble a recovery for us, it was his assembly that I posted in the topic...

Restore all my data.. and that's all folks ?
Do not remenber about that :
Recovery File
vendor_boot File
Thanks for all
It all depends on what you want to install.
In general the mode of installation is explained in the OP.
If it doesn't, browse the thread or ask.
Firmware is important.
In any case for a first installation you will have to format the data.
Restoring your data is not possible from MIUI to AOSP and vice versa (or maybe with a third party app).
Difficult to answer precisely on relative questions.
I thought I was clear in my request
Do not know what means OP !
My RN 11 Pro 5G is new and would like to know what steps I had to follow in order to be roooted as today on my RN 4x.
I have done it on my old RN 4x but 7 years ago.
The goal is to be roooted and instal a custom ROM but sure that I need to do many steps before !
Do not care to format it because it is brand new... I am still on my RN 4x...
All my datas will be restored by SwiftBackup so don't care about that !
So the installation will be from scratch => just need the steps in order to do it properly
No need for Twrp/O.f to root.
Use this method with the img corresponding to your device.

"OP" on XDA is usually meant in TWO different meanings:
In this context and @NOSS8's post, it's the Opening Post of a thread i.e. its post #1.
The second meaning is that a thread owner is also called the OP, the opening poster.

Ok guy,
Still 25h for unlock with miflash
ok for root with magisk but if I want to try Custom ROM before, I will need to Patch Boot Image File ....
But with TWRP and magisk installed I just have to choose the ROM and it will be done ;o)
