Dear XDA forum users,
I am reaching out to ask for your help with rooting my TCL 20 Pro 5G phone. I have been trying to download a file that supposedly contains a ROM for my phone, from which I could extract the boot.img file needed for the rooting process. However, the link I have been provided with is showing a message saying "Forbidden", and I am unable to access it.
If anyone could provide me with a working link or guide me through an alternative method to obtain the boot.img file, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,

I'll tell you what happened with my attempts. I downloaded the software, but it's in a .tctbin file format and I have no idea how to open it. None of the guides I found on the internet worked, so the only option left for me is to use a cable and the black box at the back of my phone where the partitions are located
the link you have shared is android 12 beta I assume, do not flash it to your phone, it works but has some issues especially fast battery drain and overheating problems. You can fallow this thread anayway

Please
Check Fus
First, can you kindly download Check Fus from Google Play, then run the application and post the results displayed by it (screenshots would be nice). It'll give useful information about your tablet and it's firmware.
EDIT: Please check my PM.

thanks for the help
i have already download the 2 winrar files
"kona3g" and "odin 3.07"

Why not use KIES to update the firmware?
That Odin is missing an ini file, I add it in the next post there (check the 4th post). Anyway, below I attached the ODIN that I use too.
For a list of all the firmware releases for your device check this link. To download the latest check this link. If you compare them with the details (PDA) from your Check Fus report, you can see you have the 1st firmware. You are 3 releases behind.
You can simply download the latest firmware and flash it, but before doing that I suggest you take a backup of your device, which is safe. Especially backing up the EFS Partition is very important. To do that you need to root the device, now more confused? I also same at the beginning, but I did lot of searching and reading in XDA and also in other forums. You can find answers to most of the questions without the need of posting the questions again. "Knowing is half the battle."

Hello,
I`m in need for LG G3 D885 Kitkat Germany Vodafone firmware, the one hosted here (Germany Vodafone D85521A_00.kdz & Vodafone Germany D85510A_00.kdz) cannot be rooted and the other one doesn't work , the one that works seems to be patched by LG and I haven't been successful in rooting it. I have tried the one click method by avicohh thread both the GUI and the script, and the method by digital-bug thread . No other firmware works for me.. with everything else I end up with a bootloop. Unfortunately it seems that LG has stopped hosting firmware files on http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=355673068637086 and to my efforts and me following this guide I haven't been successful in downloading anything. If you happen to have the firmware I need I would be very grateful if you would share it.
Thanks in advance, and I look forward to hearing from you!
Edit: Look at my reply to the post for further info, I need firmware for the LG D85521A, and it needs to be Kitkat, unfortunately.
English is not my native language, so I apologize for any mistakes in my text .
I really really love this glorious phone (sarcasm)
So I found a firmware that I can root, thanks to hyelton. Turns out the Polish firmware hosted on his website can be flashed on my device and can be rooted. I was thrilled... but not for long.. :crying: I immediately tried to flash TWRP so I can finally flash CyanogenMod (my ultimate goal). So I downloaded Rashr - from the play store to flash the recovery, and apparently It did so successfully, so i clicked the button to go to recovery to finally flash CyanogenMod, and i got the Secure Boot error so I turned to Google for help, and help he did. I found this thread, and the end solution turned out to be to follow this thread . And here I am where I started . The solution is to flash Android Kitkat. I need the firmware for the LG D85521A model - this one only successfully flashes - so far.
So to anyone who knows where I can find the firmware that I am looking for I kindly ask of you to share it with me, and help me and others who are possibly going to face this problem in the future.
Thanks in advance, have a pleasant day
Hi guys,
I have tablet Prestigio Wize 3407 4G and I need the Stock ROM for this model. Unfortunately I cannot find any.
The broblem is that I accidentally flashed a wrong recovery image. Now the device is in the boot-loop. Cannot boot up and cannot get into the recovery menu.
Do you know where I could get it? Or would be someone so kind and would provide me the ROM from his tablet ?

Hello,
you can find “stock ROMs” here:
Code:
de05.dl.prestigio.com/Service_Files/TabletPC/PMT3407_4G/
.
Please, follow the instructions.
P.S. If you need to bypass Google account verification (“This device was reset.”, “Phone stuck on “Sign in with a google account that was previously synced on this device””, “Factory reset protection (FRP)”) you should be able to do it following this tutorial:
Code:

Good luck!

I'm afraid I don't know how to help you with that.
Sorry.
(Try to search for some “universal” Android guides, nothing specific for Prestigio devices.)
Way too late to be useful to OP, but here is the latest stock ROM for SP Flash Tool for anyone who may need it.
I searching for Android 7 ROM for the tablet, but I can't finded??? Please someone!!!
I'm in the US. I have the SM-T800 model. I've searched the forums here and I can't find any post with links to the stock 6.0.1 image that I can flash through ODIN. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Download the US Firmware here:
https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-T800/region/XAR/
Hi All,
I needed the stock SM-T800 US firmware recently to roll back one of our units, and the only link of the two above that worked was the sammobile link...and they wanted to charge for downloading it.
I looked around and finally found the back up I made years ago, and want to give back to xda for all the help you all have given me, so I'm posting a link to it here.
This backup was made however with TWRP, (version 3.2.3-0) so if you are a clever person and can extract the /BOOT /SYSTEM and /DATA directories from the TWRP backup files then you have found your no cost stock SM-T800 US version, Android 6.
If you want to install it using TWRP then:
1. You will have to have TWRP installed as your recovery.
2. You will need to know the serial number of your device as a 16 alpha/numeric number, NOT the serial number shown on the sticker on the back or your device, or what Android 6 shows in Settings.
Believe it or not, the stock ROM Android 6 shows the same 11 digit serial number in Settings as is on the sticker on the back of your device..which is logical. LineageOS 14 (Android 7) however, shows a 16 alpha/numeric number like I mention above as your serial number in Settings. As I mention above, the 16 digit serial number is what you will need to restore this stock ROM using TWRP.
The stock ROM (Android 6) as a TWRP backup can be downloaded at the link below:
2020-12-12-Stock-SM-T800-US

Sorry if this is not much help to you, but I'm doing what I can!
This wil be a list of firmware sources and a bit of explanation in different firmware versions and builds. This information has been gathered over the past few weeks, mainly by helping others to find the proper stock roms.
First of all, there seem to be multiple regions that have different firmware’s, and there seem to be different software channels per region or per region per provider. ( for instance vfeu vs reteu )
The phone model is XT2041-X where the X can stand for 1 to 4
The development name / moto name is called: Sofiar ( XT2041-1/3)
the development name for the US name is: Sofia ( xt2041-4 )
The easiest way to find the proper firmware would be via the Lenovo rescue and smart assistant ( LMSA)
you can download it from here: https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/rescue_and_smart_v5.0.0.25_setup.exe
Since a few days support has been added to rescue the g8 power
you can download the current firmware for your device via the rescue page.
Manual selection of firmware sources:
So far, every source on the internet points to the lolinet mirror
see https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/sofiar/official/
US version: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/sofia/official/
a 2nd source would be the moto updates tracker, but I expect that everything you find here Will appear on lolinet
US: https://t.me/s/MotoUpdatesTracker?q=#sofia
The rest of the world: https://t.me/s/MotoUpdatesTracker?q=#sofiar
so far I have not been able to find any other sources. I hope this helps a bit in downloading / finding the stock firmware for your phone.
If you find any other / better source, please let me know, I'll add it to this first post.
Thanks
I successfully updated mine and regained root.
I will post manual update guide later.
A side note: the following must be flashed in fastbootd (fastboot reboot fastbootd or adb reboot fastboot)
boot.img, recovery.img, vbmeta.img, super, dtbo.img
@mingkee Pls can you share manual update guide? THX

There's a simple method using LMSA rescue method, but make sure you backup your phone because your phone will be wiped during the process.
Hi, I'm running into a little problem. I used the lolinet link to download the factory ROM for my Moto G Power (Best Buy unlocked, on Verizon). I downloaded the sofia VZW factory ROM first (thinking because I'm on Verizon). I used Magisk to patch the boot.img and fastbooted it. After reboot, I lost the touch screen and cell service -- could not unlock the phone. So I thought no big deal, I'll just reflash the unpatched boot.img from the sofia retus ROM this time. However, I still do not have touch screen. Does anyone have the factory boot.img for QPM30.80.50-1 that originally came with this G Power? Thanks in advance.

You may have patched unmatched build number.
Solution: flash full ROM
LMSA rescue is the simplest method but it will wipe the phone
Thanks! That was what I ended up doing.
Is it possible to change fw xt2041-3 (PAHF0004PL) to XT2041-3 (PAHF0006GB)? I'm on the PL version (andoid security January 2020) and the GB version is May 2020. If possible, the bootloader must be unlocked? Can it be changed via any tool (mototool) or via adb commands?
Anyone have the boot.img for QPMS30.80-51-3?
I cant download the latest May update from their server. Some reason the link to download expired a few days after. So if anyone has another link or can just hook it up with the boot.img please
I couldnt get it with the rescue app either it was a lower version.
EDIT
Found it here

In my case, you in fact cannot exactly download the "current" firmware via the rescue page - the phone's updater app thinks QPM30.80-51-3 is the latest version, but the rescue app installs the newer QPM30.80-109. Both are 5/1/2020 security patch level, but the boot.img files are most certainly not interchangeable.
I ended up in a bootloop which I had to rescue the phone to escape. I'd advise anyone wanting to root this phone to just rescue it first.
Also it's essential that you install the Motorola Device Manager/USB drivers in addition to LRSA, otherwise LRSA will incorrectly insist your phone is not in fastboot flash mode if you have to resort to rescuing from fastboot mode.
Finally, the rescue process will not work from a Windows VM under KVM, whether you have the USB device redirected or shared with the host. You need Windows running on bare metal.
Hope this saves someone the hours of annoyance I just went through trying to unbrick the damn thing.
Can jump from a carrier Rom to a unlocked version? And if yes, what's the unlocked phone rom? Cause I only see carrier versions.

Switching from a carrier rom to an unlocked version won't SIM unlock a phone (at least not to my knowledge), if that's your objective. But if you're looking to switch the retail flavor rom, try RETUS, specifically XT2041-4_SOFIA_RETUS_10_QPM30.80-13-2_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip.

Also a good word of advice before flashing a boot.bin
run the command
fastboot boot boot.bin
or whatever your boot.bin is called
Then you can test your patched file before patching it. Also even better once you get into Android you can open MAGISK and use direct install

What's the difference between that and RETUS on lolinet? Is there any? Reason I'm asking is that I don't have any radios after that OTA (Google Fi) and flashing the boot.img from RETUS QPMS-30.80-51-5.
