I'm sure my question hasn't been answered yet, but is it possible to root without having a PC? I'm a novice when it comes to Android modification but the update to 11 and the new DSU dev option seem hopeful. I was hoping I could somehow use Termux to unlock bootloader and then flash with magisk patched boot.img. I'm on the Metro variant (oem unlocked). Screenshots of build info provided

I'm not familiar with carrier locked phones. If it's OEM unlocked can't you just unlock bootloader with fastboot? It sure would be the easy option.

Highly not adviced to root without a PC, i tried it once and bricked my phone.
The bootloader can be unlocked, boot into the bootloader (with adb: adb reboot bootloader) and then type (fastboot oem unlock)

What Melhouse said is correct. You'd need to install fastboot for your PC/Mac/Linux machine that you will use to connect this phone to. Once installed, then just issue the fastboot command as listed above.
Also make sure that the phone is in bootloader mode by either pressing volume up + down + power at the same time from a switched off position or issue a adb reboot bootloader command via your client pc/mac.
I use fastboot-mac oem unlock from my mac to unlock and fastboot-mac oem lock to lock the bootloader once done.

Since you obviously don't know much about Android phones, the simplest way for you to fix this is probably via ASUS Flash tool. There are guides on how to do that here on XDA.

My HTC one m8 bricked. Please suggest me the correct firmware or RUU. Recovery mode not working. Thank you
Its not bricked, its just the relocked bootloader preventing the modified system from running
Re-unlock your bootloader and it should boot ur modified system

I Re-unlocked. and i tried to boot my firmware. I got replay like this image. Please help me.
i tried this firmware : RUU_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_TMOUS_4.20.531.4_Radio_1.23.213311491.05G_20.57.4198.02_F_release_420431_signed_2.exe
Image Details.....
Thank you
The pictures don't show. Typing out the error message will work just as well.
Also, we need more info about the device. Do fastboot getvar all, and post the results. Delete IMEI and serial number before posting.
Also, need to know what you were doing when this happened, and what you were trying to accomplish. The OS number being blank on bootloader screen is usually due to using a very old, outdated version TWRP; or some custom ROMs will also make OS number blank.
Hi, 2 hours ago, I just unlocked boot loader.
But, I didn't know how to upload custom rom in that state, I think I used wrong code.
My cell worked till I used the code below.
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash abl_a
But, after that, I just spontaneously used the code below to upload custom rom..... (Why did I... sighhh)
fastboot flash abl_b
After I used the code, My computer can't read my cell and I cant also enter the fastboot mode.
Whenever I press any buttons on my cell, the only thing that I can see is this picture.

these are hidden oem commands, some of them are not even displayed when typing "fastboot oem help" in fastboot mode. commands that got my attraction the most are "fastboot oem ramdump", "fastboot oem logo" and "fastboot oem ssm_test 10 1". look what happens when i try to enter these.
yeah i've even tried with mfastboot. my bootloader is unlocked, but in many bootloaders setting some byte in bootloader code and then flashing it by edl unlocks bootloader without any oem tools or unlock codes, maybe this is also a method for unlocking these commands. there is something in kane called exynos mode or exynos usb download, this is exactly the same as edl, this is the mode that you flash blankflash in, but on exynos device. does someone know how to get in here without purposely breaking bootloader? still someone more experienced than me needs to figure out how to unlock it and what to change in bootloader image.
