Yes, it's working

Can you explain how you did that ? Does it work for marshmallow 64bit?

how do i flash zip file in bricked android mtk phone

I don't know if your phone model is same as this thread, but just check your model thread on xda.
Anyways, any bricked mtk phone has to be flashed by sp flash tool with its corresponding stock software file.

Nothing new ?

 

[anujmankotia]

New update in the town . Anyone tried rooting after update ??

 

[elwess93]

Ok guyz
I think i have managed to find a way to unlock our bootloader

What we need is a signed boot image
(Htc bootloader unlock method)

I will try to sign the patched boot.img(to bypass security verification)
And will keep u updated..

Hello! has anyone managed to unlock the bootloader?
@anujmankotia have you successfully signed the modified boot.img?

 

[elwess93]

Signing boot img

Hey guys i just found this guide to sign boot img
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...ng-boot-images-android-verified-t3600606/amp/
can anyone check if this works?

 

[anujmankotia]

Not tried that coz i think we need lenovo oem keys

 

[elwess93]

Not tried that coz i think we need lenovo oem keys

is there anyway to get them or is there any other way otherwise i'm going to set this phone on fire, it's useless for me in marshmallow it's practically unusable ( lag, heat, charging probmems etc...)

 

[anujmankotia]

Go for it bro..
I will be available for assistance after monday ..

haha might as well do since Lenovo makes it seem like we bought a box of cookies not a phone.

on a serious note tho @anujmankotia can you guide me to where to start with this phone maybe i get lucky even things to search for maybe i'll find something somewhere

 

[anujmankotia]

I might have everything except signing the images to bypass dm-verify...
So i think signing imgaes will be a good start.

Disable dm-verity

So i think signing imgaes will be a good start.

Hello again! so apparently dm-verity is doing the the verification anad preventing the phone from booting if it detects root. there's a command that disables it
"adb disable-verity" and only works on userdebug system that probably can be done with this tutorial
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/how-to/guide-adb-root-rw-dm-verity-off-sprint-t3523499
can you try this @anujmankotia ?

 

[anujmankotia]

Ok i will try it tomorrow morning as i'm currently travelling

 

[elwess93]

Bootloader vulnerabilities

hello since we hit a dead end with the bootloader unlock i think adressing the bootloader vulnerabilities and exploits might be a good point to start handling this problem and i found this document that might give us some ideas what do you think?

[Juryx_x]

I believe that you can do thise.
Just trying.

 

[anujmankotia]

Sad news guys...
I have tried them all
None works
Can't get that userdebug mode to work

I have even modified boot image and tried to flash that but a image mismatch error occurred
Will try that again after few days
