Hello guys,
I made a big mistake - I bought the Mediapad T5 in the 16GB 2 GB Ram version because I thought this is enough - however, it turns out that their EMUI occupies already 1.6 GB of RAM and therefore, even the keyboard crashes, lots of jerks when playing a video in HD, apps crash it is really a mess;
So the only idea I had (although I am not too familiar with custom ROMS) to replace EMUI by some system which does not occupy too much RAM; So I first was frustrated that the bootloader is naturally locked but I found a solution by downgrading the system and then unlock the bootlader with DC unlocker for around 4$;
Now I think I need to do the following steps:
1. Install TWRP
2. Flash a new OS
3. use TWRP to install a patch called the "low-ram property patcher", see here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...mod-low-ram-property-patcher-android-t3737373
Now in theory it seems easy; TWRP is naturally compatible to my device, right? So I can probably find many explanations how to get it; But then I need to find a new OS compatible for my device which is a problem; I want an OS compatible to my device with not too high RAM consumption; I thought of Lineage 15.1 but only the Mediapad M5, not the Mediapad T5 is supported; So anyone an idea what OS I can choose?
Many thanks
Seems that you need to unlock bootloader with a bought code 25 to 40 $ and I havn´t found any customroms until now...

Hi everyone.
I have a Huawei mediapad T5 AGS2-L09. It has 2 GB RAM and 16 GB internal memory.
I updated the software and a new option in the developers optons emerged:
"OEM Unlocking" - Allow the bootloader to be unlocked
When I turn it on a dialog box pops up with a warning:
"WARNING: Device protection features will not work on this device if this setting is enabled."
You have the option to CANCEL or ENABLE.
This is it, right?
Does anyone know how to root it from here and hopefully has a custom ROM?
The build number: AGS2-L09 8.0.0.222(OCEC432)
Android security patch: September 5, 2019
This option may or may not help. On Xiaomi devices the bootloader can only be unlocked by Xiaomi. The option you see in do is not made by Lenovo I think, it is an Android option. Please check it and try to install TWRP. Afaik Huawei does not allow unlocking...
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO USE ONLY TWRP THAT IS PROOVEN TO WORK WITH YOUR DEVICE!!!!

Hello,

So sad
Why ??

Because it's Huawei, they don't want your device unlocked and replaced with unsanctioned software so you can remove the Chinese government spyware
I ve been trying to unlock the bootloader for a week now.
I am stuck at Developer Options > Mi Unlock status > Add account and device.
It throws up the error "Coudn't add, Device basic data authentication failed"
What could be the issue, any help / pointers will be appreciated.

I think you need to turn off wifi and enable mobile data then goto developer option and repeat the process.
Thanks, I tried but still not working.
There is no possible solution for this particular problem. We're constantly checking everyday but apparently its MIUI problem they messed up something in new update. Wait for Aug update.

This method doesn't work on newer devices, as the edl mode is locked and only accessible by opening the device's back case and shorting the edl flash point. Even after that flashing permission would be needed to flash via official mi flash tool which users can't get.

Excalibur, leave that bootloader issue first my device IMEI number is not getting verfied with the Flipkart exchange and the device exchange value is also very less its 1,680 without IMEI verified.
and then the mi suit does even recognise this device why I don't know.
And it's a 32 bit device that's a bad issue for gcam lovers too.,
Good things with this device that
Storage space 32 gb I have
(And that too this device doesn't support ExFat file system on as card)
Type C ( but its of no use without fast charging ) may be we can use this type c for audio output (again the audio drivers or hardware is of no best for orginal audio quality) you have to use mausic player like jet plus pro app to tune it .. if it's rooted then V4A viper 4 Android.

It supports 18w fast charging, you just need a fast charger to do that which doesn't come out of the box. I've been using a fast charger and it charges as quickly as rn8 pro or any other 18w supportable device.
There isn't anything wrong with the audio quality provided by the inbuilt dac, it's the same as any other phone in this price point or any devices costing even higher than this. And viper4droid does more like tuning the eq which again would be of no use if the device's dac is bad.
any update guys?

I want to root this phone, mainly to turn off dm-verity because it keeps popping up even after a factory reset and this may be my only good option, but what custom rom should I use for this?

Any suggestions or help for rooting this thing? First proper rootable phone I have gotten and I'm not sure the best process for this.

You need a special steps for work. Not a exclusive file to your phone because GSI (actual custom rom for any device with Android 8.1 and next android version) need some files to fix booting that in your device. But the happy notice is about actual GSI files not need very files for fix or maybe nothing.
Try install AOSP from phhusson Android 9 and Android 10 repository to know. Other great GSI is crDroid by eremitein or other GSI files by him. Need testing.

Yes! Android 8 from very OEMs/companies not have Treble/GSI compatibility.
Only Android 8.1 has that.
Update: Install this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tk.hack5.treblecheck&hl=en-US in the phone and know what architecture your phone/firmware has. That will show you which type of GSI file you can test.
Listing what that app says..
Required Image: Needs an image file named system-arm64-aonly.img.xz
Treble and VNDK: Supports legacy version of Treble, using VNDK version 27.0
System as Root: Does not support, use an a-only OS.
ARM-64 archetecture.
Seamless Upgrades not supported.
Does not use Dynamic Partitions.
Unless I missed anything, is this what was needed? Also I am on 8.1.0 for android version, I didn't know if that was just Oreo or if 8.1 had it's own name.

In the first update Android 7.1 [Nougat] to 8.0 and after upgrade to 8.1 [Oreo]. Normal.
All informations good to know what GSI you should test.
Now you can install with fastboot or Custom Recovery [TWRP]. So if has is better and fast.
If not so can using fastboot commands.
Obviusly need bootloader unlocked!
You can read and find more threads but this is good: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-blu-vivo-xl4-vivo-xi-vivo-xi.3877294/
The only part I should warn you about is the loss of IMEI. So soon as you can do backup from your phone the files NVRAM; NDATA; NVCFG with SPFT or other way like fastboot you won't have wasted time and hassles.

I'll give it a shot. In terms of performing a backup, I would assume that' typical "copy all files on phone to desktop folder just in case"
I should've mentioned, I don't have an SD card in my device, just a SIM card. I don't think I can use TWRP, which is going to complicate matters.
Hello I have a Blu Vivo XL4 android 8.1.0 Oreo, I'm trying to install a custom rom, I looked everywhere not a single rom is made for Blu phones.
bootloader unlocked
according to treble info:
System-arm64-aonly.img.xz
Your device supports the legacy version of project treble using VNDK version 27.0
Use an A-ONLY operating system
ARM64
Seamless upgrades are not supported
NO dynamic partitions

Hello, few weeks ago I bought a brand new Realme Pad LTE. This is really a very underestimated device considering it has on average more ram than competitors at better pricetags and a respectable octa-core processor with all the usual amenities a tablet should have along good lasting battery, no company bloatware and a solid construction in 2022. Unfortunately there is no support topic on XDA or elsewhere, and can't find a way to root it. There is no TWRP, no OTA or firmware available to download from the manufacturer nor a specific tool to dump the boot.img from the device, just unlock the bootloader and that's all. I am desperate, because otherwise I will have to return it and buy Samsung at an higher price - which I dumped for many reasons - just for the peace of mind of having support from LOS community, a working Magisk build and TWRP flashed for my backups and screw-ups. What can I do?
Because you're able to unlock tablet's bootloader you also should be able to dump tablet's boot.img by means of ADB applying Android's shell command named dd - what of course requires tablet's Android is got ( at least temporarily ) rooted.

That's why I am trying to get a boot.img. I need to root my device, and for that I need - to my understanding - to patch boot.img from this device on the Magisk app. I am a noob at all this terminal stuff, and struggled for days only to find an answer on how to unlock the bootloader on such a poorly documented/ignored device. I honestly don't understand what do you mean by "temporarily rooted" and I am also clueless on how *dd* command works or how/what path should I input over adb shell. Can you or everyone else help me out on this?
Android OS is rooted if it has su ( read: switch user ) functionality implemented.
By default this functionality is left of by OEM. Hence you've to add it by your own.
This can get achieved by means of ADB - if temporary root is your goal - or Magisk - if permament root is your goal - where the latter method patches Android's boot.img and other system files, so you no longer have a boot.img in it's initial state.
If to have a temporary root is intended, then all what is needed is to push a suitable su binary to Android's filesystem and make this binary executable.
With regards to su and dd commands: as always GIYF.

I have pretty much a stock Android 11 as OEM firmware so its my assumption it could be enabled, otherwise I have no idea of how to find out or where to find a suitable su binary for it. Anyway, my goal is to have a permanent root, so I can backup or remove system apps or eventually flash the **** out of this tablet if ever a dev pulls out a custom build for it. Also, to my understanding, flashing a Magisk zip from stock recovery or attempting adb sideload without a TWRP are a no-go, meaning I have Magisk only as apk package available to install.
From Google (the irony, I had to search for GIYF to find out what meant) I only found - for now - people that either describe a situation with a specific device that requires extra steps, or do a 180° and start rambling over TWRP stuff like it was taken for granted everyone has access to an official/unofficial build to extract that damn file. *sighs*

Hi, unfortunately I returned the tablet since there was no way up to this day to root it. You can indeed unlock the bootloader but fastboot prevents you from using sideload and since there is not a recovery for this specific tablet, and Realme support will flip you off if you ask for a firmware download, you're on your own.

Yeah, definitely. On one thing tho this tablet rocks; basic stuff like managing Netflix and using Android Auto for navigation from the tablet itself; the S6 Lite I now own can't even do that, in fact Netflix sucks and no support for AA has been even integrated despite having even the most community support. Who knows if there isn't even a longer list of unsupported daily use apps out there... By the way check P11 and A8 respective forums before making a decision; there is no certainty of support for root, recovery and all that good stuff despite being devices of recent production.

I understand that yes but my problem is that I don't have a laptop or PC to run the program so I'm trying to find another way to get the firmware for my Edge 2021, And if I can't do that is there any custom ROM compatible with this device that I could use to patch it with magisk?
So far I have not seen any custom ROMs supporting this device (I think it should come eventually; the last gen has support).
This post includes a download link for an up to date Android 11 ROM. I haven't used it yet though. I'm a little nervous about downloading ROMs from random links, but since I used the guide from the same user (last post you replied to), it feels trustworthy. But use at your own risk.

oh forgive me for forgetting to mention this...
but I'm 99% sure you REQUIRE a PC to flash images onto a phone, since you use the adb debug tool to manipulate the phone while it's in fastboot mode.

This post includes a download link for an up to date Android 11 ROM. I haven't used it yet though. I'm a little nervous about downloading ROMs from random links, but since I used the guide from the same user (last post you replied to), it feels trustworthy. But use at your own risk.

Okay I understand, I'll just take my chances and hopefully I don't brick my device...

I did try it but instead of fully flashing the img I just did fastboot boot so that it would only boot into it one time and it didn't work at all so my only chance of rooting my device is using a PC to get the firmware of my phone, And thanks for the help.
