I've heard rumors it's located in the actual bootloader, so messing something up there could result in a dead device

boot.img is not bootloader. I don't really know which "image" it is exactly but it's definitely not boot.img
Try searching in the BL_ file and decompiling everything there idk
Used to be located it up_param.bin or param.bin (idk anymore if it was in AP or CP) but those files don't exist anymore for some reason. Also wanted to remove it like i used to do on my A50

I can install apps that let me modify things on my phone. Give easy access to root partion to be able to push files to. Also getting ad blocking with AdAway with root instead of vpn which is slow.

There was a discussion going on here: discussion on SD devices
After going through it, everyone reached a dead end
According to this post, even if you're able to unpack, replace and repack the abl file you won't be able to flash it back to the phone. It looks like Odin and the phone still check for valid Samsung signatures on the bootloader files (like abl) even if you have an actual unlocked bootloader to accept custom files. You break Samsung's signature of abl with any edit to it, so you won't be able to flash with Odin. And no type of current root method (be it TWRP or Magisk) have access to replace this afaik. So yeah, it's a dead end.

There was some release post on XDA thought of a "modded/patched Odin" which apparently "bypasses all signature checks" or something like that. I wonder if it applies to the bootloader.

Hey guys,
Been searching for a few days now ive tried several root methods
the ones from playstore like
Kingroot
Kingoroot
Kingoroot desktop
Its a galaxy tab a6 running android 5.1.1
Build number LMY47V.T280XXU0APB6
All of the above say they can root it but they all failed
I have seen posts on forums such as this one offering custom roms for the device so I must assume there is a root somewhere and I just cant find it.
Any help would be extremely apreceated

Why the heck Samsung locked the bootloader on this device I have no bloomin idea!
Me either no contactless pay as no cellular so why ?
I got mine direct from Samsung and the bloat is horrific
8gb model and over half of it is unusable and without a root an sd card isent really much help

Hello ashyx
I have the sm-T285m. Yes, I could not root it using the usual programs out there. Any way to inject root into the system image and then reflash it through odin? (as you mentioned you have managed to debloat it-maybe a dumb question as am sure you already looked into it) I recall trying to do such a thing on Huawei Mediapad x2 when there was no root but ran into issues after I accidentally overwrote my entire windows o/s and disk with linux and then gave up (had to extract files from image, add the su then recompile something like that?...from memory over a year back and was only my first and only foray into linux) The odin tar files are separate ones for modem, system, bootloader etc.
Thanks

I already tried prerooting the system image.
It wont boot because the boot.img needs to be patched and you can't patch the boot.img on a bootloader locked device.
I even asked Chainfire if there was any other way and he said no.

Thanks Ashyx...you mentioned you managed to debloat it. I tried ext4unpacker (maybe archaic now though recall it worked on 5.0.2) to separate the system.img into components but could not. I am interested in editing system image
(A) change dpi (increase the lcd density to 380 or so to get things bigger),
(B) change system font (put in a preferred ttf font),
(C) remove many unneeded (for me) google apps from the system folder, and
(D) enable mobile data auto on off for mms via the features.xml or others.xml. Do you think these could be done (you already mentioned the debloat).
typically i managed to get all of the above done if rooted.
Any advice appreciated on how to do this unpacking and repacking.
Thanks
does this help? opensouce kernel?

It wont make any difference. Enabling OEM unlock doesn't unlock the bootloader.
You still wont be able to flash unsigned boot or recovery images.
It will only allow you to flash an unsigned system image.
I use Ubuntu to mount and edit Ext4 images.
You can use the windows or Linux version of simg2img to convert the sparse image to raw then mount in Linux
Tbh Samsung need to provide an unlock for this device like they do for the Chinese devices as there is no reason why this device should have a locked bootloader.

That's because you spelled it wrong bro lol.. it also doesn't do anything unfortunately and reverts after you reboot the device.
You cannot downgrade.. most time even on unlocked bl's downgrading is not allowed.

Unlocking the bootloader
You can flash a custom system only if the bootloader allows it. Note, though, that the bootloader is locked by default. You can unlock the bootloader, but doing so deletes user data for privacy reasons. After unlocking, all data on the device is erased, that is, both private app data and shared data accessible over USB (including photos and movies). Before attempting to unlock the bootloader, back up any important files on the device. - https://source.android.com/setup/build/running

The boot.img is the fie that creates the boot partition
/bootThis is the boot partition of your Android device, as the name suggests. It includes the android kernel and the ramdisk. The device will not boot without this partition. Wiping this partition from recovery should only be done if absolutely required and once done, the device must NOT be rebooted before installing a new one, which can be done by installing a ROM that includes a /boot partition.

Unlock bootloader with mtkclient since it is a mediatek phone. The exploit works lovely. Then root with magisk. Here is my patched 11 boot flashboot mode - flashboot flash boot magiskpatched.img <--. Example hope this helps people ---- T-Mobile USA Android 11
P.S. - Tidbits for those in need ┤Mod Edit├┤Link not allowed├
LMAO.
You want to keep it as a secret while using someone else's work?
Guys, just follow the guide here:

I paid $8.00 for a carrier unlock via remote TeamViewer on eBay. I asked if he could unlock the bootloader as well. Everything went well. I used the magisk boot.img posted somewhere on here to flash for root. So far everything working well. I pass safetynet but no luck with GPay.
Any possible way for this to work on the REVVL V 4G?
Anyone plan on doing a rom for this phone?

I am also wondering this about my phone, i have REVVL V (TMRVL4G)

I achieved root today on REVVL V+ 5G.
This phone is made by wingtech and is a mediatek phone, so why is this in TCL under forums??
I know this sounds crappy but I cannot share all the details. Don't ask why, its complicated. Updates to follow.

I'm going to borrow this for my guide. I'll give you credit. Mine works. So weird, two identical phones, one I patched the zipped img, the other I unpacked the img and patched. One will not work for the other and vice versa and I have no idea why. It seems to be the exact same device. But I've had two people brick and need recovery and maybe this could make it easier. Thanks. Hope you don't mind. Check out my guide: do you know an easier way to flash stock ROM? I haven't yet ported twrp. I returned mine to stock and sold them both today and I'm going to take a break

Yo, what happened? I seen a link to the patched img and a mod edit nix your video link. I replied taking about my guide, look again and the link is gone. DM that to me please, if you would be so kind. Do you have TWRP, payload.bin mt6833_scatter.txt, OTA? Anything you could give me would be awesome. If you want to edit my guide, feel free to offer any pointers. I'll edit the guide and give you credit. I don't know if that matters to you, or not. I like the attention, but at the same time I'm a perfectionist. I can't stop trying to make something better. Thanks in advance

I have the scatter for 6833 if anyone needs it. File enclosed as well as a few other tools and files I needed to root my revvl 6 5g, you should be able to do the rest on your own. Make sure when you are using mtkclient that you back up your preloader above all things in case you mess up. Your scatter will save your hide as well. I've also enclosed mtkclient bypass tool and the 6833 payload you will need as well. Good luck, and credit to Hovatek, and bkerley for their respective tools. If using sp flash tool use the enclosed scatter and the DA_allinone file for the other.

Hey, I'm trying to complete a guide for the revvl v+ 5g. Other people are reporting issues and we're trying to resolve it. We could use your help over here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/root-flash-stock.4541841/ thanks in advance. Btw, I have that scatter already. It was weird how I got it, though. I found the source code somewhere, I just copied the text and removed the quotation marks and saved it in notepad. Spflash gave me trouble and I had to tinker with some things and bypass DA. But it worked. I thought it'd work for everybody, but now spflash isn't working for some folks, but then we found the newest version. It's not on the official site :/ but now some folks can't get back to stock even with correct files and firmware. I have at least 3 guys dead in the water. Any help would be appreciated. I know you have a life and all, but if you get the time

I don't know how much I can help; I'm little more than an amateur with an engineer type of learning capability and a tenacious drive. I suck at teaching, but will take a look at the thread anyway, because on the way to rooting a treble based a/b partition with tamper evident ro.props, plus having bricked my device 9 ways to Sunday, there's some possibility of being able to offer some assistance. See you there man.

You're definitely more knowledgeable than I am, it seems. Thanks
I have an interesting idea, but I don't have enough technical skills to implement it.
I noticed that edload mode can brush all partitions without BL unlocked. So i`m think, if i can modify init_boot.img and package it into the flashing package, can I bypass the BL lock and forcibly flash root into the device?
If that available, I can own rooted devices without data loss, fingerprint also does not appear abnormal.
No. Root require a patched boot.img, so you have to get access to other partition.
To do this the unlocked bootloader is needed.

AFAIK this won't work because this image needs to be signed. If we can patch init_boot.img, sign it, flash it and also flash signature of this file, we might be able to relock bootloader. Try with caution: unless there's good instruction for EDL unbricking, you might end up with a bricked device without any free way to fix it.

I remember Andriod 13 need patch init_boot.img instead of boot.img. And edload mode doesen`t need anything because that used a underlying layer.

I think you are right. But in the past, I can make fake signature in the past, just don`t know how to deal now.

From the past a lot of things had changed.
Now you need to unlock the BL to get root in the correct and safe way.

Maybe, but everything only by trying can step foreward. Isn`t it?
I'm just sharing my ideas, not necessarily implementing them, just discussing a possibility.
