[CLOSED][ROM] Rooted twrp backup

I am not responsible if you damage your device in any way you are the one that has decided to modify your device.
Here is a prerooted boot and system twrp backup all you will need to do is install supersu from the playstore.
Install instructions:
1. Backup something in twrp so the folder structure is generated
2. Then unzip file to /storage/emulated/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/NBQGLDXXXXXXX (This may change depending on the phone idk)/
3. Now go back to twrp and click restore and select the backup
Troubleshooting:
If you never set a encryption password (It asks you during the startup wizard), then you just click enter and skip it.

That number is your device's Serial Number, found in Settings --> About Phone.

I'm getting a Failed to unmount '/system' (Device or resource busy) when trying to restore. Any workarounds to this issue that you may know?

I have not tried it on this exact backup but it does work i have tried it.

I've tried but there's something different about this backup. I can't get Adaway or Xposed to work. The first one says it can't copy hosts file and the latter just bootloops

Thanks for tour sharing.
In my case, I just need to restore "boot" only and now it is working, too.
Thank you so much !!!

Please help with step by step procedures. Thank you

Following step is my case,
1. Wipe device
2. Restore hole ROM that deadman96385 provided
3. Restart system until you can see the android home page
4. Reboot to recovery, root and wipe cache then reboot device
5. Check the SuperSU is working or not. If yes, go next step
6. Reboot to recovery, restore the boot and system (without system image) then install xposed v80 and wipe cache
7. Reboot device and enjoy it ← I was stock on boot screen in this step, so I get into the recovery and restore the "boot" only.

Haven't flashed in over 2 years. Missing anything?

I went to the dark side in April 2016, and haven't flashed anything in about 2 years. Wife's tablet (flo) needs an update, MM is getting laggy though the tablet has always been good to us.
Titanium was getting to be crap around the last time I used it, with problems mostly restoring, does that still hold true? Might just use it to back up a couple apps she uses a lot and just use Play Store to restore the rest. It's not really important, just curious.
Downloading the TWRP app, I know TWRP is installed but willing to bet it needs to be updated and the app can do that.
Tablet is near its EOL, not planning on rooting it if the ROM doesn't come pre-rooted. I have no idea what Magisk is.
So I'm gonna go into TWRP, wipe system, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik. Flash ROM (going with Lineage 15.1). Now at one point 2-3 years ago the common wisdom was starting to become "flash ROM, boot ROM, reboot to recovery and then flash Gapps." Y'all still doing that? Or can I just flash Gapps right after flashing ROM and reboot then?
Bit nervous as I haven't flashed in a while, but also kind of exciting.

We've got Android 8.1 Oreo now... Working perfectly on our Nexus 7... You should check it out...

Any suggestions for which are the most stable roms to try? I'm in the same boat. I'm on android 6.0.1, stopped flashing things a while ago and it might even be official! But mine's running like a dog so think I wanna try something to jazz it up!

You should try pure Nexus rom based on 7.1.2 for ultimate good battery life. Oreo is Good but battery isn't the greatest.

Well i have been rooting for a bit.
My N7 2013 Flo is not rooted. It is unlocked.
I thought i have via adb fastboot put latest twrp on it...but i turn it off (go into bootloader) toggle into recovery...tarp is not there (triangle with red 'i').....
I dont want to go ballistic but I never would have thought I am having such a hard time putting recovery image onto it.
It is stock 6.1
CF root doesn't exist anymore...some say use majisk....that's not working....
Without a recovery tool....(twrp) nothing can be flashed..
AM I MISSING SOMETHING

Firstly, your stock 6.1 is ancient and obsolete. Here are detailed instructions to install a modern Android, TWRP and root....
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/flo/install
ROM - https://download.lineageos.org/flo
native root solution, no need for CF, Magisk, etc. - https://download.lineageos.org/extras (install addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip and activate it in the developer options)

I did the 'install lineageOS on flo and installed TWRP latest. Seem like fastboot went into a slew of commands
and finished. I followed the steps to reboot into recovery and twrp is not there. Android dude opened with red triangle.
I have no clue whats up. I leave it sit, and it reboots into android splash screen and bootsup so i can use the tablet. I guess this is why I am soo perplexed. "Am i missing something?"

I think you have missed this step.... "Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install." - https://twrp.me/asus/asusnexus72013wifi.html

Thank you for 'helping me'......I have googled this combo everywhere and tried it all. Nothing is allowing the tablet to populate into twrp.....
Perhaps its really not fastbooting twrp into the device

Wait, is Kevin_McLaughlin=ganggreen777 ?
Anyway, here is an alternative way:
- fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-flo.img (please copy the output and post it here)
- fastboot reboot-bootloader
- select recovery in the bootloader
That's it, but you must do it in this order or else TWRP will be gone again.

Why u asking???? Have we chatted b4?¿?
I will do as stated above (I swear I am (thinking) I am doing it as above all the other times. (when you say copy output...is that from the fastboot dialogue? ) ...is it as easy as copy paste ...I dont remember how to copy via adb fastboot...
(Makes me wonder if twrp is really being fastbooted into the n7 2013

You need to do the following in TWRP:
(Optional, but recommended): Select the Backup button to create a backup.
Select Wipe and then Advanced Wipe.
Select Cache, System and Data partitions to be wiped and then Swipe to Wipe.
Go back to return to main menu, then select Install.
Navigate to /sdcard , and select the LineageOS .zip package.
next install the addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip (root addon)
and finally GApps (Google Apps) from https://opengapps.org/ - select ARM 7.1 pico
"Note: If you want any Google Apps on your device, you must follow this step before the first boot into Android!"

Still able to use Google Play store and certify device after root + custom rom?

Hi,
Not too long ago a weird bug forced me to do a wipe of the device before i can start using it again (was all stock). Now i'm debating on a custom rom since the biggest obstacle for me (wiping the device and reinstalling everything again after) has been taken away.
I did however remember reading about devices with root and custom rom not being able to use the play store anymore since Google marked them as unregistered and such.
Is this still a problem? or is there a work around / fix for this to be found?
Thanks in advance.

Its not a problem if you flash custom rom + gapps + magisk altogether. Once all those files are flashed successfully then only reboot to system & your Google play store will say your device is certified.

Great thank you for your reply. Was losing hope i would not get an answer anymore.

Does this mean it's possible to use Google Pay with a custom rom? Or just the play store?
Edit: I think I have found my answer reading other threads, that it does work.

Alright so i have managed to install lineage and gapps, but somehow i cant get magisk to work.
1) can i just leave it like this without magisk and not have problems with google uncertified stuff?
2) if the above can't be done or if i can still somehow install magisk, please explain how. (i rooted one other time long ago with superSU, i dont have experience with magisk). I followed: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-magisk/ but i get an error 1 when trying to install in TWRP.
Please help and thanks in advance

To make magisk working properly just make sure you have /data partition EXT4 formatted also install this version of TWRP for Lenovo p2 https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528044694 after that install latest version of magisk through recovery & you will be able to install magisk successfully.

Correct. Even with Magisk root Google Pay and other secure banking apps work fine. You may just need to activate Magisk hide for certain apps.

Thank you for your reply.
Yes i did format the data partition to ext4. I used the TWRP version of their original website, searched for the lenovo p2a42 and found kuntao_row. (twrp-3.2.3-0-kuntao_row.img to be exact). Is there a difference in the version you linked there and this one ?
I currently have lineageos with gapps installed and working. If i am going to try and make magisk work. Are the following steps correct?:
1) install magisk manager
2) shut down and enter fastboost
3) flash different TWRP version
4) Boot into TWRP recovery
5) install magisk from ext sd
6) Then done? Or do i need to reinstall LineageOS and gapps again after those steps? And maybe wipe and reformat again at some points? if so, where?
Again thanks in advance and i really appreciate the help.

Just download latest version of the magisk, keep it somewhere in the storage then reboot to recovery, update your current recovery by the recovery I have given you above, reboot again to recovery then flash magisk & reboot to system. After successful flashing of magisk zip install magisk manager apk from play store or Google.

Hi,
Back again haha. It still works properly and almost have everything set up as i wanted to. One more question arose:
The system is telling me there is a new version update for lineageos.
I am assuming i just click download on the latest version, then reboot into recovery (backup as optional), click install, search the zip and let it install then reboot again is the way to install it. But do i have to reinstall gapps? and does this process delete any data or is it just like a normal update and everything stays the way it was before installing the update?
Thanks again in advance.

Help updating Android on a rooted OnePlus 5T

Hey guys, so this is my problem:
I've bought a OnePlus 5T some days after its release. When i searched for a tutorial teaching how to root the device (i don't know the root process deeply), there were just a few videos at that time. This was the video i watched to root me device (some people already told me that this isn't the best method, but it was what I had at the moment):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SsIH6iauYQ
As i told, i'm a layman and doesn't know the root process, and now i need to update urgently my Android (its currently on the Android version it was when i bought it: 7.1.1). I've found some threads with a similar situation, but i got lost in all the details that i don't know, like "you need to unlock the bootloader", "just flash the TWRP and stuff", but i need a more simple language like "click this, click that". I really need it now, so i'm even thinking about searching for someone trustable to do it or transfering some cash to anyone who helps me, because i don't wanna lose anything important in the process. Anyone that can help me, PLEASE?!
Thanks in advance

I am not sure, if I understood it correctly. You need to update your device that's clear but do you need your device still rooted afterwards?
Because if not just update your device, it should be that simple. If you need to root your device afterwards just follow this thread:

Sorry, actually i forgot this detail. I have a root based on SuperSU and i would like to have the Magisk one after i update my Android. What you think is the best way to do it?
Btw, just one question: you said that if i didn't want to keep the root, i could just update my Android, but once i click in the system update option, the update fails, i believe its because of the root right?

No, because you have to download the whole update package. Normally the device detects itself if it is rooted/unlocked, so there should be the option to download the whole package. With that the update should not fail.

I'm asking cause i've download the file you attached and there is no .exe file or something on it, do i put the files on my phone and then execute the uninstaller by the phone itself? If so, how i do it? Btw, i was taking a look at the SuperSU app and it has this option : "Exchange superuser app - Cleaning to exchange for another superuser app", it works just the same as your uninstall?
2- Even reading FunkWizard's guide, i'm still confused of which order i should do the things. Because i need to:
- Uninstall SuperSU
- Download full OTA on OnePlus website and install it through TWRP
- Install Magisk
is there a best order to do all this? Am i missing something?
Thanks

The attached unsu file is for removing super su by flashing thru twrp ! its not not for pc i.e. no .exe file.
i assume that your bootloader is unlocked and twrp already installed then just flash the unsu zip in twrp > wipe dalvik/cache > reboot, super su gets removed.
You can also go like this (you may need a pc for this):
Since you are on nougat build download the oreo version first.
first download the full oos rom from here on pc : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3728665http://
download latest magisk zip from here :https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445http://
download no verity zip to remain decrypted, here :https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/guide-how-to-decrypt-data-partition-t3642144
boot your phone in twrp , wipe everything (first transfer your important data from phone to pc/usb otg), in twrp you can go advanced > format data > yes > done > reboot twrp > now there is nothing in your phone by formatting internal storage (everything). Now while in twrp transfer your already downloaded oos and magisk zips from pc to your phone through the data cable.
Now, flash oos zip > magisk zip > no verity zip > wipe dalvik/cache > reboot > that's it, enjoy your new android version !

Thank you so much for the help, i'll try this once i get home. Just one more thing: you suggest a Beta Oreo Version or a Stable One? Any version specifically?

After installing Oreo I don't think that you'll remain on it for a long time.. ha, ha..., Pie is already waiting out there.. :laugh:
go for stable :good:
5.1.3 to 5.1.7

Hey buddy, i followed your steps and now the phone isn't starting totally, it stops on the OnePlus start screen with the white balls around the red one. Should i do the process all again? Can i start TWRP in this situation?
edit: nvm, i try it again and now it works normally But Magisk isn't working, when i try to flash it through TWRP it shows "Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Error instaling zip file '/sdcard/Magisk....' "
And Android version is still 7.1.1 , so i need to update the Android through the phone itself and then i reapply the root?
edit2: sorry for so many edits in this same reply, let me try to explain the status of all the process right now to see if you can give me some tip:
- Android is on 8.1.0 version right now; Do i need to upload it more?
- Bootloader is unlocked (at least when i go "Enable OEM Unlocking" on Developer options, i cant check this option cause it says that bootloader is already unlocked)
- I can't acess TWRP on reboot now, it seems that i enter on some Oneplus Recovery Mode, not TWRP itself
- Root isn't working
If you need any extra information just ask me

No problem FunkWizard, take your time and answer when possible, i'll hold my fingers to don't get a worst situation. :angel:
Rom/OS version : Custom ROM(i believe)/8.1.0
TWRP: no; after everything i tried, when i try to acess TWRP now, it doesn't enter on TWRP itself, it shows a different recover screen, like a recovery screen of Oneplus system, just like the picture i attached.
Magisk: no; one of my goals in this entire process was to uninstall SuperSU and install Magisk after all, but when TWRP was working and i tried to install Magisk, i got an error and Magisk didn't install correctly, and since i've uninstalled the SuperSU, i'm without root right now, and i can't even try to install it since TWRP is working right now :crying:

If you have oneplus recovery instead of twrp then you can't be on custom ROM, it has to be on oxygenos. Unless I know of what version I would not be able to give you the step by step process.
U can flash twrp easily, simply download the latest Bluspark twrp and flash it via fastboot steps on the unlock device thread in the guides section.
There on you can download and flash the full zips from twrp followed by Magisk.

10.2.1.0 Global Update Available

Just checked for updates and this popped up. Enjoy.
Link for the download is: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.2.1.0.PEEMIXM/miui_MIMIX3Global_V10.2.1.0.PEEMIXM_9dc43870b4_9.0.zip

I just got this too! Do you know how I can update having twrp installed?

I just tried to install the smaller update above, it failed and now I'm downloading a 1.8gb version. Of you have TWRP installed, I'd probably just download the older OTA and fastboot flash boot boot.img from that OTA.

You should be able to install it like normal but ensure when your device reboots you enter your password to enter twrp. If that doesn't work just reboot into twrp and install it by selecting it from the downloaded ROM directory (I forget what the folder is called but it's not the normal download folder). You will have to reflash twrp afterwards.

This *should* would too.
Filename for the big file is: miui_MIMIX3Global_V10.2.1.0.PEEMIXM_9dc43870b4_9.0.zip we should be able to assemble the whole bigota.somethingsomethingsomething.darkside.xiaomi.downloads url using that, but I'm not at a computer and going to be late for work as is.

What version of Magisk did you install? I tried 17.3 and have a bootlooping phone.

The URL for the big OTA (1.8gb) is: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.2.1.0.PEEMIXM/miui_MIMIX3Global_V10.2.1.0.PEEMIXM_9dc43870b4_9.0.zip

I just tried downloading a fresh copy of the Magisk zip. Same result. The phone starts booting then reboots into recovery. I don't know why this doesn't work. Did you have a "global" version of the phone? If so, can you backup your boot image with TWRP (the Magisk rooted one) and post it so we can try downloading and installing to see if it works on a Chinese phone?

Is it normal for the update size to not be displayed? This is my first update using a Xiaomi device & found it odd to not know how large a update was.

Mine showed the size for the small incremental which failed and for the full OTA which installed sucessfully. I have not been able to root this with Magisk, no matter what I tried. Every attempt at rooting with SuperSU or Magisk caused the device to bootloop and go back to recovery.

Oh ****.. I'm guessing its the 599M? For some reason I thought that was part of the build. :laugh: Lmao.

Yeah, that's the update download size. Don't be surprised when the 599 one fails to install (if you have stock recovery). It will download a 1.8GB one (the one I linked to in the OP now) and that one will install as expected. I think you can install either with TWRP if you want. GLHF

anyone figured how to root this? I flashed twrp then flash magisk 17.3 but it kept bootlooping to twrp.

No, I've tried everything. I have a suspicion we can root this on the Chinese device after we have fastboot images.

Great Update! Many things changed that are not mentioned in the changelog! Finaly notifications in the AOD! ?*?*
