[Solved] VBmeta Flashing and Disable Verity Verification Command Problem

Thought to share with you guys, as many of people like me face problem while disabling the verification while flashing VBMETA.img.
Most of the time the below command does not work and causes bootloop, when Installing Custom recovery.
So i searched a lot and found the perfect solution which is working 100% and tested personally.
Code:
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img
The errors we receive while flashing this command is due to SDK platform tools version
30.0.5 version is working fine and i have attached it along with this post so nobody else will go through the searching i have went.
This is the whole sole purpose of this thread.
Can you tell me how to do it with Heimdall on Linux? Using this file attached below, but i also ask you, is this file i posted only special for my device? The guy who told me to flash this told me to use odin and place the file on ap slot, just like how i previously flashed the custom recovery.
hi ,may i ask which first, do i need to flash the vbmeta before custom rom?. thanks much appreciated

Recovery, VBMETA (if required), Rom, (Microg if you want, i never recommend), and magisk root if you wanna root.

Are you sure your custom recovery works for your phone? You need to flash vbmeta to get rid of the AVB verification steps, otherwise you end up with a non-booting system because of the differences in keys built in to the hardware, the system partition and the boot partition.
Can anyone tell me, i am having poco m2 Xiaomi , what's the use of vbmeta and is it compulsory to flash vbmeta while flashing custom rom or recovery.
Just used the latest adb tools on cmd admin. Fixed

GSI in Xiaomi 12X its possible?

hello friends
I have tried to install GSI Rom on my Xiaomi 12X and it stays on fastboot. According to Treble info it is possible to install GSI on this device but I have never succeeded.
From EU Rom I go into fastboot and run the commands:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot -w
I reboot into stock recovery and do a format data and reboot
Outcome:
stays in fastboot
Has anyone managed to start any GSI on Xiaomi 12, 12 pro or 12X?
I will be attentive to your comments
Thank you

Oneplus Nord - Android 12 (ColorOS 12) - How to Root

Hi,
I had a rooted Oneplus Nord (OOS 11)
I updated the device with the newly released ColorOS 12 update
The root disappeared, so I downloaded the Payload file to root again thru magisk
However, the payload.bin has boot.img, vendor.img files but there is no "vendor_boot.img" file
When I flash the patched boot.img file, the device gets stuck in bootlooop.
I am assuming this is because vendor_boot.img is not patched
Has anyone successfully rooted Oneplus Nord after ColorOS12 update? Can someone help?
Any help on rooting ColorOS 12 updated on Oneplus Nord?
Hi, I am undergoing the same issue. But, sort of have an idea how to fix it. Unfortunately I am a bit worried to try it out. I know there is no vendor_boot image to patch. But isn't it the same thing to patch vendor.img? Could you try patching that and let me know of the results?
I tried patching vendor image. There was an error in magosk.
I'm going to try flashing Twrp recovery on the phone and try installing magisk to root it. Will let you know how it goes
No luck, doesn't work for Android 12. Waiting on some update for rooting the Nord

use the latest magisk canary version, just patch the boot.img then
fastboot flash boot patch_magisk.img
fastboot flash vbmeta --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_system --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_system.img
This worked. I am still testing though.

Can anyone confirm this does work without having to wipe the entire phone's data?
Thank you
Hi
This works and data is intact.

How do I patch the boot img ?
Do I use those fastboot commands immediatly after flashing the new rom (reboot to fastboot). No need to install magisk to 2nd slot(after ota) ?

Install OOS12, install magisk and patch the boot.img, then boot into the bootloader and type the commands. After an ota, magisk must be installed in the inactive slot.
Does this also work with Magisk v25 released today?
Where can I find those files? I guess I have to move those to the fastboot folder on my pc ?
fastboot flash boot patch_magisk.img
fastboot flash vbmeta --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_system --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_system.img

No, I'm not able to have a bootable magisk patched boot image, also using magisk canary release.
After I flash the patched img the Nord goes in bootloop, the only way to have it working is to flash back original boot.img
About the vbmeta.img & vbmeta_system.img I have used the extracted from payload_output folder, I think is correct?!?
Did you manage to solve this ? I really want to upgrade but not loose root.
I rollback to stable Android 11, I have tested the new version for one day and is graphically bugged everywhere, seems they release a beta, not a stable version.
I rollback to stable Android 11 with Orange Fox recovery, Root, safetynet-fix ok, ecc ecc
I have tested the new version for one day and is graphically bugged everywhere, then no recovery, no root, Color OS seems not for me for the moment.
What do you mean with graphically bugged everywhere ?
How can I stay on having root, does it work with latest canary?
