I have unlocked bootloaded, sim unlocked LG900TM. I had it rooted on A11 but lost it on A12, I couldnt find A12 KDZ that I could use to upgrade thru LGUP tool. Anyone rooted on android 12? And if so can you please share boot files or method of how to remain rooted on latest update?

I wonder if anyone could help me out with something; I have a galaxy s10e exynos model with Android 9 installed and i'm rooted. Now I want to upgrade to android 10 via odin. Is there something I need to do first? Do I relock the bootloader or can I just flash the new firmware on the device?
i don't know if it's been late but you need to download the Android 10 stock firmware for your model. Using magisk, patch the AP file and flash the patched AP file alongside the required files for Odin.

Don't have any experience with upgrading while rooted, but as a warning, I updated with an unlocked bootloader (nothing changed other than that), and the update to 10 bricked my phone. I just sent it back afterwards, but I vaguely recall that it would have been recoverable, but just as a warning not to do the OTA with an unlocked bootloader.
So i was on Android 10 with G710N Korean model when i decided to root and have a custom rom. i cross-flashed to ULM11g to have fastboot mode available through which i got root and twrp.
Then using patched LGUP, flashed to Android Pie using Partition DL to keep my root and twrp.
After flashing to Pie, i noticed my WiFi will be on but was not able to find any WiFi even when i was sitting next to the router.
NB>>>> The partitions I didn't flash when I was upgrading to Pie was just boot_a and boot_b.
Can anyone please help me get back my WiFi.
I would be so GRATEFUL
Thanks in Advance

So you downgraded to pie without changing the boot partitions??
You need to install the complete ROM and then patch the boot images for root.
If you are referring to bootloader unlock and not root, then you will not lose that on installing custom ROMs. But you will lose root and twrp which you just need to do again.

Thanks for replying.
I went from Android 10 to 8 on ULM11g to have bootloader unlocked and gain root and twrp access.
Then flashed to Android 9 Pie with ULM20e but didnt flash both boot images so as to preserve root and twrp.
But after flashing all partitions except boot_a and boot_b, i noticed WiFi was not able to detect any network.
I still have bootloader unlocked and twrp with root.

Firstly You should flash a ROM suitable for your hardware G710N, otherwise there will be compatibility issues.
Second, you need to flash the complete ROM. Use cross flash guide to do that.
After that you need to root.

did you manage to solve your problems my brother? having the same issue with a brand new g7 thinq
Hello all,
I installed the latest update for my 8T KB2005 which is 11.0.8.13.KB05AA. I have unlocked the bootloader and would like to root it, however I'm not sure if it is possible to root from my current firmware version. Some root methods I read about say I need the stock image of my OS, but I believe my current firmware version is an incremental update and that will not work? I read it's possible to use payload dumper to get my image, but this doesn't work with incremental updates either. Maybe I am misunderstanding things. If someone could enlighten me, that would be greatly appreciated. Is is possible to root from my current firmware?
*Update: upon researching further, one possible solutions seems to be using the MSM tool to downgrade to an older version of OOS, then locally upgrading to 11.0.8.11.KB05AA, and then being my root process from there. I will attempt this, but if anyone knows if a root method from 11.0.8.13.KB05AA. I would like to know as well

You don't need to use the MSM route. It's far simpler to patch the stock boot or use a patched stock boot.
@g96818 had kindly posted the boot image(s) you need in thread '[Guide] How to ROOT OnePlus8T (CN/IN/EU/US) KB2000,KB2001,KB2003,KB2005' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...00-kb2001-kb2003-kb2005.4178675/post-85165277
Its possible to use adb to pull the boot image and patch it in magisk. Then you use fastboot to boot from that image( not flash) and do direct install from magisk.

You can only do that if the phone is rooted. You need root access to pull a boot image from /dev/block/by-name/boot_[ab].

In a non root situation you can boot the semi working twrp posted here somewhere which gives a root adb shell via usb.

Hi g96818 Thank you for posting the 11.0.8.13 stock boot.img I was able to patch it in magisk and successfully root my phone! Thank you everyone for your fast responses. It was very much appreciated
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.

Gaining root access on New Oxygen OS A12 for the op9.
https://www.droidwin.com/root-oneplus-9-pro-9r-magisk-without-twrp/ Just sharing what I've learned. Have to patch boot.img and vendor boot.img and flash out of folder in sdk on desktop.Then use vb_meta.img to disable verity flash. Guide above...

Didn't look very hard. I made this thread months ago. It's here in op9 section how to guide.
For context I'm running a OnePlus 8 IN2017 on Android 13, it's bootloader is unlocked
I want to root my phone with magisk using this guide:
Installation
The Magic Mask for Android

But I need a boot.img, even If I didn't I want to have a backup of my stock firmware just in case something goes wrong.
Now if I was on Android 12 I could just use TWRP but TWRP seems to have no versions for Android 13 yet and obviously I'm not rooted yet either.
Is there anyway I could dump my firmware without root or TWRP?
