you got instructions for a root? without an unlock able boot loader there's no custom roms

without a true boot loader unlock you won't get far, root is the best you can do for now

just another user confirming your steps to update to oreo and get root works, thanks!

you need an engineering bootloader to be able to unlock that in fast boot, edl alone can't do it

some other folks around here got it but when temp booted into the dsu from dsu loader you need to make a backup through dd

if it works for dsu it should work when you flash it. just back up everything before doing so

just a quick note if you're stuck on the boot screen like i was when using the dsu loader, you can still adb shell -> su to get a root shell to do whatever you need

if your boot loader is unlocked, just try flashing all the posted boot images if you can't follow the more complicated steps throughout the thread and you can disable vbmeta by flashing an empty one

i believe you need to pull them individually because each partition is symlinked and there is no mmcblk0. i might be wrong though so feel free to try dding your entire nand if you want but be careful of what goes in the input and output params. if you got some scripting savvy try using wildcards...

don't think there's a twrp build for this phone you don't even need twrp for backup if you know how to use dd to pull each partition and note their locations while you have temp root

all the clues you need are in post #44, just use dd to pull the boot image once you get temp root

install adb, adb reboot bootloader, fastboot flashing unlock

congrats man glad you figured out all the clues

there is no twrp for it, you need to download the recovery img i posted earlier and build it yourself if you want to go that route since you're that curious, you need to install an app that determines what treble build you need, then download the actual gsi from...

the boot loader is unlock able and it's a given that you need it unlocked otherwise forget about flashing or rooting

there is a way to do it involving using the dsu loader feature to temp boot a pre-rooted gsi image, using that to dump the boot image using dd, then booting normally into the system to patch the boot image using magisk due to work i have no time for a full writeup. its for the very technically...

i don't know that because i never update once i get root

i don't remember seeing a boot loader unlock warning on mine, you might need to risk it and try flashing a patched boot image to check. for me mine was already mtk-su exploitable so i left it at that

preloader is the actual partition you need for the brom exploit

you should be using mtkclient for everything with this phone

you're supposed to use mtkclient to reroot not fast boot

use partition dl in lgup like this guide https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-bootloader-unlock-root-magisk-tmobile-lg-velvet/

this is the closest i found: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=7161016148664825323

your boot partition version doesnt match mine. if you didnt make a backup you might be screwed. i would try to unroot, update to the latest version, then wait until i have time to write a tutorial

this is a qualcomm phone mtk client isnt gonna work, edl by bkerler is what you want

you cant downgrade. either make a twrp build out of the recovery i uploaded or try to get temp root by installing a gsi through dsu sideloader then dumping partitions to be rooted later

thats not the correct way to read the build, but mine is svv55216_01.01.04.131651 if that matches, feel free to patch this boot with magisk if not you need to use the recovery i uploaded, build twrp from it then flash it

dont have time to write a guide cuz its a lot of steps heres the stock recovery if you wanna make twrp out of it and root through that

confirmed rooted

according to the guy who got root on his 696, yes. 2 phones are required to get root, 1 for the actual flashing and rooting, the other to rescue the first phone with once root has been obtained

so now there is a way to get root but it involves a lot of steps and someone sacrificing their phone for the cause all we need to do is follow these same steps: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/umx-u696cl-unofficial-root-thread.4446111/

a lot of cheapo phones from assurance dont have associated loaders to interact with in edl mode. i own 2 of them, a schok volt and coolpad haylo and theres no way to access them in edl

yea he sacrificed his phone to get us all root, now someone else who owns a 696 needs to pull their system partition to help him unbrick

no, you need the firmware to do anything with an unlocked device recovery for building twrp, boot for magisk patching and rooting

no root without getting the firmware first, thats why i opened this thread

interesting, i followed all his steps and had no problem rooting it. try backtracking with his scripts again?

did you use the auth file that comes with sp flash tool? without that your device wont boot properly

you need to use mtkclient on linux to be able to unlock the bootloader

might need to run it on linux, windows connections arent reliable

my lg k8 2018 is also bricked from trying to flash that. think the only to unbrick is to wait for a firehose to make it bootable and restore the important partitions again

can the mods move this to the moto e6s forum so we can spread the news?

dude!! followed all your steps and i now have a bootloader unlocked and rooted device. how did you figure out the lk and signature to unlock that?? proof attached below Слава Украине!!!

just followed the link instructions and it works!! bootloader unlocked and root achieved

if you can confirm your phone has a mtk chipset use mtkclient to bootloader unlock it https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient otherwise youre out of luck

you dont have to do any more than restore your phone to the original version without erasing all your data. once thats done you can do whatever you want to backup. look up odin, download mode, and see if you can find out what build your phone is

his phone is screwed cuz twrp cant see his encrypted data and he cant boot into android as of now due to dm-verity only way is to reflash the build through odin without a data wipe by using home csc and backup from there

smart switch is probably the best you can get plus they do local backups

can you create twrp with no recovery though? glad you got root! so what are your steps to unlock boot loader? I'm still stuck there. fast boot doesn't allow me to run the oem unlock command. or did you just patch boot and flash with spft without unlocking the boot loader? stay safe over there...
