Did you extract your fastboot rom twice? you need to extract the fastboot rom[can be found here] twice to flash via mi flash.If that doesn't work follow this:
Assuming your bootloader is unlocked then boot device in fastboot mode and connect to PC. Make sure you have minimal ADB and fastboot installed in PC. Move vbmeta.img file from the fastboot file you have(it's inside the images folder) to the adb and fastboot folder. Then flash using this command:
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
if that does not work then type:
Code:
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
after flashing vbmeta flash recovery.
However if your bootloader is not unlocked you need to visit service center.

After booting to LineageOS 17.1, and flashing the DM verity disabler, Can i flash the unmodified Android 11 GSI system.img instead of CherishOS.img? Is it going to work?

Cubot Quest Lite alternate ROM

Trying to flash Lineage 17.1 or TWRP on Cubot Quest Lite ends in Orange-State-Bootloop
After flashing Lineage 17.1 i get a Bootloop at orange state.
Restoring original System and generating TWRP with the hovatek tool and flashing only TWRP produced also a bootloop
Tried [Hovatek]_Mediatek_Auto_TWRP_Recovery_Porter_V1.7a_by_Team_Hovatek.7z
Tried also [Hovatek]_Spreadtrum_(SPD)_Auto_TWRP_Recovery_Porter_V1.4_by_Team_Hovatek.7z
Flashing is done from Linux PC with following commands:
1. Try Lineage System without a Rocovery:
fastboot flashing unlock (volume key up for confirmation)
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img <-- vbmeta.img from Cubot Stock rom
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system lineage-17.1-20210321-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avS.img
fastboot reboot
I tried also lineage-17.1-20210321-UNOFFICIAL-treble_a64_avS.img
2. Try Only TWRP Recovery with Stock Rom System unchanged
generate recovery with Hovatek Recovery Porter, then
restore original System with SP-Flash-Tool, then
fastboot flashing unlock (volume key up for confirmation)
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Then try to enter Recovery by pressing Volume-UP+Power-Key
I was successfull with a Cubot Kingkong Mini with the same approach. Both phones from cubot have the same CPU, RAM, Camera
Mediatek MT6761 Helio A22, 64bit
Any ideas to get Lineage or TWRP running?
Hi, I have the same phone and find android 9 very painful.....do you think I can install android 6 ?
Hi andro-try, have you solved yet problem reported (TWRP) ?

Question Magisk install stuck on fastboot

Hey everybody.
So I've recently got this Redmi Note 8 (2021) and figured I'd root it.
After the week of waiting to unlock the bootloader, I did the next step to install Magisk.
Due to the lack of custom recovery, I patch the bootimage, and flash it with fastboot.
However after this, the phone is stuck on fastboot, so I guess something is missing.
I also tried the canary versions, but no success yet.
Did anybody succesfully instal Magisk on this phone? Or some other type of root?
I'll just answer my own question here.
Android 11 MIUI devices need enabled verification in boot.img AVBv2 signature​
This pull request will fix it (for me): https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/pull/4975
Trying the vvb alpha worked for me.
You should flash first vbmeta.img with this command:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Then flash the previously modified boot image with Magisk:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

I heard about this vbmeta at several occasions, but I haven't found a proper resource or download location for it.
How do I create or download a patched vbmeta?
Other than that, the solution I posted does work for rooting my device. But I think flashing vbmeta might open some options up for me like a custom recovery.

Hi.
when ich put that command i became that error:
C:\adb\fastboot.exe: unknown option -- disable-verity
sorry, i made a mistake. got it now
hello can you help me to root
Sure.
Install the newest magisk.
First unlock the bootloader, then patch a boot image with magisk, and flash it to your boot partition with fastboot.

Question twrp installation noob question

hi guys,
i am t total noob so please be patient.
i like to install twrp from here but i stuck on the first step because of because of
Spoiler: this
To disable AVB via fastboot, grab the vbmeta image from the ROM you are on, and flash it with the following command:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
can anyone help me to find the the vbmeta ( i am on MIUI Global 12.5.1.0).
Download your stock rom. You will find many websites in the internet. Download according to your miui version & device codename.
Then extract the zip file. Copy vbmeta.img to platform tools. Open cmd there and execute that command.
You could use an empty vbmeta.img directly from google (here), i used on my tablet not on the F3.
