Question Motorola Edge 2022 Info - Motorola Edge (2021)

Hi all, I'm trying to track down more info about the new 2022 model as it doesn't appear to have its own subforum. Anyone know the details on if the new model can be bootloader unlocked, rooted, etc? Also what is the firmware codename?
Thanks in advance!

Bump - any info people might have?

Update - found the information I was looking for. If anyone in the future stumbles across this:
- Bootloader can be unlocked
- Device can be rooted
- Codename: Tesla
- US Unlocked SKU: XT2205-1

Ok. I have the XT2205-1 model. At lolinet the only firmwares that match that model number are spectrum and t-mobile. My phone isn't from either one of those. Does that matter?

idk,if its me I will boot the patched IMG first to see its can boot to system and than flash it.
where did you get that phone? tmobile version is 8g ram128gb rom.

I bought from a guy on offer-up. It's 8gb and 256gb.

OEM Unlocked.

Just as I thought, this phone has a MediaTek SoC. And I remember now why I stayed away from MediaTek years ago. They will probably not release any source code and without it we are SOL when it comes to custom ROM. Stay away from MediaTek and go with Qualcomm and Google devices. Save you some disappointment after you get your new phone and find out you really can't do anything with it.

[Q] OTA bootloader update when rooted?

Hi guys,
I run rooted unlocked Nexus 5 with CM11. I wanted to update the ROM but it failed - I read a bit and found out that it is due to old bootloader version. I would like to update it but I'm not a friend with ADB and stuff.... It would be great to use the most easiest way. I got OTA update notification but have no idea what it does - will it unroot the phone? will I lose CM11 ROM? Just trying to figure out what backups and steps shall I do to update my ROM. How shall I continue from here?
Thanks a bunch!

Attempting to take the OTA will fail.
Download the factory image and extract bootloader-hammerhead-hhz11k.img
Boot your device into bootloader:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-hammerhead-hhz11k.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You have a custom recovery installed, right? Flash the bootloader zip via recovery. However, you need to get familiar with adb/fastboot as you're gonna need them if you ever find yourself in a tight situation to fix your device.
Open the "must read" thread linked in my signature and find the thread which has all the info about adb and fastboot.

Thank you! I get it about ADB, I had to solve one my problem in the past via ADB. Anyway, I just need to find the 4.4.4 bootloader in ZIP (or probalby .img will work too?) and flash it? That's it? Does it wipe my phone or something?
You just need to flash the IMG via fastboot, no wiping required!

Alright. One more thing. Is it possible to convert the IMG file I have into zip to be able to flash it in TWRP?
EDIT: I found that Nexus Toolbox for my 5 has the option to flash the bootloader image so I will try this variant.

You don't need to. Just boot into fastboot, connect to PC, fastboot flash bootloader name_of_file.img, reboot, done
it's easy you must become familiar with fastboot and add the second you aren't it will come back to haunt you

Rooting an unlocked Htc one a9

I have an unlocked att htc one a9 on tmobile, and i was wondering if I root it, would it affect the unlock status. Also if i flash any custom rom, will it still be unlocked? Thanks

No, rooting it would not affect the unlock status, and yes it will still be unlocked if you flash a custom ROM as long as it supports it. Ex: if you flash an AT&T ROM, it will only work on AT&T

Make sure your device is updated with the latest firmware, or at least 1.57, because CyanogenMods kernel doesn't support anything below that now

[ROOT][TRIAL][MAGISK] P20 Pro - Try out on Rooting Method

Hi Guys,
Note : By doing this, you know that you're gonna do a modification to your phone, and im not in any way, responsible for what happen after. Escape Route for if something wrong happen is provided, but YOU DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK
since this phone is fairly new, at this moment a clear rooting method haven't established yet. This is what this thread for.
Based on information gathered from P20 Lite Forum (the rooting guide for that device even already up - here), it seems the old trick of rooting (from Mate 10 Pro) using Patched Boot Method is working fine. And Magisk is working
Basically this method need few pre-requisites :
1. Unlocked Bootloader (by getting the code here ) - and if you not sure how to do it, go here for the guide
2. Stock Boot (or RAMDISK to be precise for this phone) - I managed to extract it from 8.1.0.106 ROM version for CLT-L29 (download here)
3. Magisk Manager 5.5.4 (from Magisk Thread) to patch the .img above, or
4. Patched RAMDISK image (i patched it) from here
5. and of course computer with ADB & Fastboot installed (make sure you have latest SDK to prevent something not working)
Now, to Root it, all you need to do is,
1. Boot into bootloader
2. Type
Code:
fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img
(patched_boot.img is the file you download from prerequisites number 4, placed it in the same directory with your adb & fastboot - i assume you know that already)
3. Reboot
4. You now should have root access, download Magisk Manager to manage modules and superuser
(you might need to flash this module if you failed to pass safetynet)
In case something go wrong, flash back the stock RAMDISK from pre-requistes number 2 above using same method as what u did to flash the patched one.
That way worked. Thanks.
Edit:
Just as a hint. To get magisk work as it should..
After boot into the system and installed Magisk Manager, install Magisk from there again, so you dont get any /data/magisk problems.
SafteyNet passed then.
Fingers crossed twrp is possible soon
Works on CLT-L09
I have a German single Sim from Vodafone tested the root yesterday and works very well

Hey guys, I need some help please! I unlocked bootloader through Huawei website which went fine and then when I flashed the patched boot.img through fastboot and tried to reboot my phone has told me there was a critical error while booting. It won't boot to system and just loops a few times and then boots to Huawei eRecovery. This is my first Huawei device and I'm clueless as to how to recover
Any ideas would be much appreciated! Thanks

The ramdisk.img was taken from .106 ROM, so its actually newer than what installed on your phone. That might become issue,
But, do you managed to revive the phone using the stock ramdisk from first post ?

Yes thank you, the stock ramdisk from the first post allowed my phone to boot normally again. Do you think if I use magisk manager app to patch the stock ramdisk it will work for me? Or is that the same as what you did to make the patched boot.img anyway?

If you have the 103 rom, and able to extract the ramdisk yourself, you can try patch it yourself.
Have you tried to flash the patch ramdisk one more time ? In case it just a bad flash.
Because if you manage to boot using stock one. It means your system has no problem using .106 boot image and the patched one should work as well

Vortex V22 Standup Wireless Firmware Error

Hello!
I tried the search function but my search-fu isn't strong today. I got a Vortex V22 phone from Standup Wireless. I must have been half asleep, because when i flashed what I assumed was the correct boot.img, I got stuck in a boot loop.
On further investigation, I had flashed the boot for another device called Vortex. I am having incredible difficulty in finding the right boot image. The info I have from the side of the box is:
Vortex V22 4G LTE
Color: Graphite Blue
ROM 32GB
RAM 3GB
OS Android 11
FCC ID 2ADLJ-V22
I deeply appreciate any and all help. Thanks so much!
i was trying to find a phone case for the phone what model number is yours ?
If you're still searching I can try to make a rom dump, I have this phone as well brand new untouched or registered.
I'd just need a tutorial on the proper way to dump and extract the files so I can upload the boot.img
_
I've never used it cause I put the StandUp Wireless sim in my T-Mo InSeeGo 5G HotSpot and prefer to use my Galaxy S8 with Keyboard Cover Case and Unihertz Titan Pocket
Just dumping the firmware from mine, using SP Flash Tool. Used this guide: https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-12719.html
Will remove userdata & cache, but there is a LOT of gbs of system data. This phone is appearently Treble-enabled with VNDK ver 30, so yes, you can flash a GSI on there. Will provide a custom recovery necessary.
Edit: if you were wondering, this phone has a MT6761 with a eMMC flash.

Hi PicelBoi,
I have the V22. I've unlocked the BL and trying to install a custom rom via ADB or Fastboot but have had no luck. I try to erase or flash and I get errors saying partitions don't exist. Can you please help out with a recovery file?
I tried the hovatek guide but didn't have any luck, but I tried it before the BL was unlocked. Would that be an issue with the sp flash tool? I was told it shouldn't matter.

You need to reboot to userland fastboot, which you could do by rebooting to normal fastboot then telling fastboot to reboot to fastboot by typing in fastboot reboot fastboot. You will see a new screen, and now you could flash a GSI to the phone.

I was able to get a bunch of GSI's that work with it, including the phone you posted, but I was looking to get root and found a couple pre-rooted GSI's that work as well. Newer ones do work as well I has 13 rooted and working. However, I liked the Pixel ROMs the best and would prefer to install those instead and then root. So I need the firmware for that so I can patch a modified boot.img.

Thank you. I understand and have a lot of experience with this. However, I still never understood why there is two Fastboot's.

I completely messed up one messing with partitions and it took many tries trying to get to was able to still get to the bootloader fastboot and then recovery to fastbootD. You should be able to get it booted into fastbootd and flash as it seems you can.
Try the one below. you should be able to find it with a google search. If you can't let me know and I will try to look and see where I downloaded it from as I cannot remember where I found it.
I've tried many GSI ROM's Some boot fully, some only boot to the boot screen and some won't boot at all.
I'm using 13 rooted LineageOS GSI version 20-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvS
It is vanilla. I can't remember if there is a GAPPS version or not. But you can load it all after with magisk. But its rooted.
I still would like if picelboi could share the stock rom, so we can have a boot.img. I would like to try other ROM's that are not PRE-Rooted.

I can't remember which A12 I had working but I was looking for root and the one A12 that was prerooted I had issues with so I went to A13.
This is an A13. LineageOS GSI version 20-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvS
There may be a newer version of it now.
Also, these phones seem have that internet connect issue with some GSI ROMS and this is one of them I think, they connect to wifi but they won't actually connect to internet, but there is a easy fix for it.

Question Google Pay on 12s ultra?

I tried to install Google Pay on my unlocked (not rooted) 12s ultra and no success adding a credit card for the lack of certification/ fail Safetynet pass. So i rooted the phone (13.0.5) and I installed Zygisk and Safetynetfix...I was able to add some credit cards (not all of them) but no luck in using them to pay (generic error in the NFC operation). The wallet type is set on Google Pay and I gave all the permissions. Was anybody else able to use Google Pay on 12s Ultra?
Thanks in advance
I've added two cards to Google Pay. From two different banks. And no root on the phone. Worked like a charm
I hope you manage to get it working
Could you describe the root process?

Thanks...for me it was impossible to add a card in an unlocked but not rooted 12s ultra...so the problem should be related to unlocking. I have to wait for xiaomi.eu rom...

Very simple, I extracted the boot.img file from the last ROM, I patched it with the last magisk version and I pushed the patched image with the fastboot command
