Have you tried downloading your firmware, patching the AP_ file with Magisk app and extracting the vbmeta.img inside it? Magisk should patch it up for you. If you're stuck in a bootloop then hopefully someone can share it with you.

10.0.5 boot.img?

Hey all! I'm trying to root my OnePlus 7t but I'm on 10.0.5 stock and I can't find a patched boot.img, or even a stock one to patch in Magisk. I'm on the global variant. If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be grand. I have already read mostly all the posts...
I have the US version which I think is also the global version. Here's my patched boot.img for 10.0.5
https://drive.google.com/file/d/12tZN5D7dmovIeqsx8sTF-B0z2gxA6LG8/view?usp=sharing
Here's the stock boot for 10.0.5 as well if you screw something up.

Don't ask why the file sizes are so different. It just gets smaller for some reason after patching it in magisk.
I just booted with an older one and flashed the latest magisk

Do I only need to flash the patched img or both ?
And do they need to be flashed to both A and B slots ?
Thanks for sharing

I would try fastboot boot before you use fastboot flash just to make sure that the device will boot successfully with the images. You should only need to fastboot boot magisk_patched.img, then open Magisk Manager and install Magisk by choosing the direct install option in the list. You only need the steps I mentioned to have root, and if you flash it to A and B at once you can get stuck in a bootloop. I had that happen at one point from flashing both partitions, and I dont recommend trying it.

Ya, I tried every relevant boot image I could find in the forums, and the device didnt work properly with any of them. The only one that allowed the device to boot successfully caused the wifi and sounds to not work. So I downloaded the full update from OnePlus and extracted it to a folder, then used payload dumper to extract all of the individual images out of the payload.bin file from OnePlus. I copied the boot.img into the phone storage and installed Magisk Manager, then patched the stock boot.img and copied it from the phone to my pc. Then I used fastboot boot magisk_patched.img to make sure the image I made would work. I booted the device and inside Magisk Manager I chose direct install in the list of options and everything went smoothly, and I didnt need to rely on finding images online that would hopefully work.

Thanks a bunch for the share. That was the missing piece that I've been looking for. I have the HD1905 variant and I just used Magisk to patch the stock file you provided. After testing, I'm finally rooted. Thanks again.

root 10.5.8

For whatever reason OnePlus removed the 10.5.8 update from their server. Therefore we can't patch to boot img.
The steps I took were
1. Patch 10.5.6 boot the img in fastboot
2. Reboot into system setup magisk
3. Reboot again in fastboot
4. Boot magisk patched img
5. Go into magisk and install and choose direct install
6. Profit with a 10.5.8 device without the wifi/gps/Bluetooth issues.
Thought I'd share my experience as I bought second hand and it had the latest update and couldn't find the download link to the full system update.
Might want to mention which Magisk, the known problem with Canary?
Also why patch 10.5.6 and not 8

He dont have the 10.5.8.full rom to extract and patch the img
So he probably patch the 10.5.6 img , he just boot it temporary on fastboot , going to magisk ,installing magisk and when he's rebooting , he's on 10.5.8 rooted..
Here's stock boot for 10.5.8IN11BA if anyone needs it https://mega.nz/file/sb4WwSBS#jrCL7tek0SLbynTqbPU-s_j5g0cKFRsC4u7DR7S7sCI

Not if you have already updated via the OTA..
He probably got the OTA ( full zip) install it and then boot it..
If you've updated via local upgrade , then the full ROM zip has been saved on internal storage ...
But the easiest way to update and keep root is to just take the ota through the updater..dont reboot go to magisk manager , install magisk on inactive slot , ...done...
Patched img only needed to root after unlocking bootloader ..
Not anymore....
Bought the device updated already and can't find the 10.5.8AA build at all on OnePlus

How do I extract a boot image from a GSI rom without TWRP.

I recently bought a Chinese phone from a relatively unknown manufacturer, so I was unable to find any TWRP images that match the device, I was wondering if it was possible to extract the boot image directly from a GSI ROM. My end goal is to install Magisk so if there is a better way to go about this please let me know.

Due to my understanding, GSI have no boot.img , it uses stock boot image ( along with all other needed partitions ). So if your purpose is to root using Magisk, just find the correct boot.img of the current stock firm on your device before GSI and patch it with Magisk!

I have a Vortex V22 MTM6761 There is no stock rom. It has unofficial GSI Pixel experience plus 13.0 running on it. I too would like to root. How can I retrieve the boot.img file from the GSI rom? Or how can I pull it from the phone via terminal and fastboot? All help is greatly appreciated! Happy Saint Patricks Day!
For devices which powered by MediaTek SOC, after flash the patched boot.img, you will need to flash patched blank vbmeta.img in order to bypass AVB with follow command :
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
in which vbmeta.img is a patched blank vbmeta of your device

Thank you for the quick reply. I'm not sure I quite understand your message.
Flashing a vbmeta.img will give me a boot.img? I have a GSI PixelExperience 13.IMG file. The command fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img was flashed along with it. It was running a different rom prior to flashing the GSI PixelExp 13.IMG
All I want to do is Root the device. I've been told over and over I need the boot.img partition to modify for Root access, but I can't get unless i'm in Root or have access to the current ROM BOOT.IMG, Correct?
Why is the BOOT.IMG or Payload.BIN missing from GSI IMG ROMS? is there another way to convert or pull from a ROM like that?

Yep, I think u misunderstanding me from my very first msg. What I meant back there was : GSI ROM is what called Generic System Image. Which means, it has ONLY system.img that you will need to flash into system partition of the device. Therefore, if you need the boot image in order to patch it with Magisk or else, you will need to extract the boot.img of the CURRENT ROM which is already running on your device ( and normally, it should be stock ROM ). Cuz to be in short, GSI ROM does not have any boot.img for you to seek for, my friend!

Thank you for the message my friend. I understand that part of it. There is no stock ROM, at least I don't think there is on it. It is a a/b system but I've tried to go back to factory reset but it does not work and goes into a boot loop. So I load the GSI pixel experience rom to get it working again.
So what you are saying is, if I do not have the stock ROM, I cannot get the BOOT.IMG, Correct? So I am pretty much out of luck to get a boot.img from a GSI? Is there another generic ROM I could use that would have a boot.IMG? Ive tried a dozen ROMS and the latest pixel experience 13 unofficial rom was the only one that worked. Maybe Im trying the wrong ROM's. I do know I need A/B versions of them, I think.
If anyone else might know a way to help get me out of this situation, I would greatly appreciate. Thank you my friends!

You need to understand the basic core point is : GSI is ALWAYS system image only my friend. Boot.img can be found only on FULL ROM, not GSI. And there's always stock ROM for ANY DEVICES, what you need to do is just Google with keywords : Your-Device-Full-name Stock ROM Download. Then choose the correct one which is currently running on your device and download it. Boot.img will be right there on the zip.

Thank you! I do realize the obvious. If I was able to find it, I wouldn't be asking for help. I have rooted close to a hundred phones with stock ROM's going back over a decade.
What I'm asking is, What if the stock rom cannot be found? There is no other alternative way? I challenge finding this particular stock ROM.
Vortex V22 Model 2ADLJ-V22 MT6761V/WBB.
I have searched over and over for months on various search engines and found nothing. Maybe the ROM is uploaded somewhere in a different language other than English. I would be absolutely stunned if the stock rom was found on the internet.
Can I extract boot.img from terminal via fastboot or other linux or win program?
I have 2 models I cannot find stock ROM's for:
Vortex V22 Model 2ADLJ-V22 MT6761V/WBB - manufacture date year 2022
Moxee M2160 Model MH-T6000 2APQU-MH-T6000 Q6006_V1.0 - manufacture date year 2022
Can anyone find anything? I have scoured the web for months!
I can't believe there is nothing available for these phones.
Please let me know if you can find a stock ROM. I would love to learn where and how you found them. As I've have found nothing for months and months.
Thank you!!!

Question How to port galaxy a90 5g's firmware to my a32 4g (sm-a325n)

I extracted system.img from galaxy a90 5g's firmware.
And what is the next step to port a90's firmware to my galaxy a32 4g (sm-a325n)?
(I do not have root access to my device.
So I used odin to port a90 5g's firmware.
But when I try to do it, It always fails).
I will look forward for your reply
Thank you
I'm going to take a wild guess here but your A32 is probably using dynamic partitions (system, vendor, odm and product) inside super.img. Unless you have TWRP to flash the system partition of it specifically, you won't be able to install A90's system.img
Or
An alternative would be to unpack your A32's super.img and replace the system.img inside with the A90 system.img
May I ask you how to unpack and repack super.img (to replace system.img)?
And how to flash repacked super.img (which contains a90's system.img)
Via odin (because odin does not support .img file flashing)
And it is able to boot if I only replace system.img? (or should I replace a90 5g's boot.img too?)
And doesn't it void knox warranty?

Because it's not meant to be flashed on your phone, Samsung considers it custom.
And no, no way to prevent.

Pretty easy to answer this one... YOU CAN'T
Okay... I will port a90's whole system.img
Although a32 4g has unofficial twrp, my device is sm-a325n and it doesn't work.
And is it able to flash system.img eventhough a32 uses dynamic partition?
Does system.img contains samsung dex?

I already said: YOU CAN'T PORT THE WHOLE SYSTEM.IMG
A90 has VERY VERY different hardware. A32 has Mediatek and A90 has Snapdragon chipset.

Root latest V13.0.8.0.SJDEUXM?

I can't find an answer to the question is it possible to root the latest MIUI 13, A12 by Magisk and patching the boot.img as usual.
I have done it dozens of times with all MIUI12 versions, but can't risk with A13.
Anyone done it? Thanks.

In the fastboot TGZ file there is a vbmeta.img
Do I have to patch that file too? I have read somewhere, that the vbmeta.img needs to be patched instead of the boot.img.
Please, confirm.
Cheers.
Just a quick UP. Has anyone rooted by the Magisk method? And did you patch the boot.img or vbmeta.img file? Thanks.
