I'm hoping someone can provide me with the simplest guide to update, fingerprint, and root my particular phone...
I have a ROG Phone 2 128gb Tencent Edition that I bought on eBay and it came with the WW 1906.19 ROM but still has the CN fingerprint. It's NOT currently rooted and the bootloader is still locked.
I do have experience rooting and flashing devices. I have a rooted Nvidia Shield Tablet and Nexus 5 currently and have rooted many other devices in the past. However, there seem to be so many different guides on here for this device, depending on several variables, that I'm just not sure what's right for MY device with it's several versions old ROM and mismatched fingerprint...
I would like to flash the newest WW ROM, fix the fingerprint to match the WW ROM, and root. Any help would be appreciated.
Search in YouTube 'Bobby Prats'. His videos are the simplest guide to follow.

Use this guide but as you want to keep root, ignore the final steps to unroot...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ro...-ww-rom-changing-cn-fingerprint-t3969765/amp/
then you can go ahead and flash this latest rom
ALTERNATIVELY,
instead of using the out dated rom in that thread, just use the raw rom from here and the root boot img from here that'll get you the latest 1910.35 rom on WW by using the rest of the instructions form the guide.
Also note, you need to remove or delete the original zip from the raw folder once extracted as it confuses the Flashall_AFT.cmd with the raw rom having the same name.
Also note, you need to delete the spaces from the links in the guide (located near the begining of the links), as the user didn't have enough posts to create working links... I keep meaning to get around to creating a guide with working links, but don't find the time lol!!
I've created a more up to date guide...

How to Backup the current ROM before Root and TWRP
I have received mine yesterday from India with 1910.35, want to backup the present ROM before doing any modification.
Please provide a step by step guide to Root and install TWRP and Magisk if passible.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Guys, I just got the phone (international/ non-carrier version) yesterday. Updated it to 4.3, and rooted it, following the guide from HTCOneRoot.com.
Everything is fine and dandy, as when I rooted my previous phone. But in my sheer eagerness, I didn't find out that the 4.4 was available also.
I now have a rooted phone, and I can't update it, as it goes directly to TWRP recovery when I try to install. I guess this is what it's supposed to do?
From what I can read you cannot install OTA when you have rooted your phone.
So I tried looking up how to unroot it. But this seems like a rather difficult project, and I am not sure I understand. From what I read I need to download a RUU, to install a stock rom(?) and I tried looking up this, but there are tons to select from, and I haven't the slightest clue which matches my phone. Can anyone be of assistance, as to how I can revert my root and update to 4.4, so I can root my phone with the latest android, instead? I'm not really interested in getting a custom rom on my phone.
Guess I should've read more about rooting before doing it, as I'm kind of a novice, but I'm more a trial and error kinda guy .
Thanks.
Edit: Or should I just find a custom "stock" KitKat ROM, and install that, from my current position? Is that even possible?
Sort of an answer

Hey man, so to find the right ruu go here htcdev webiste, go under kernel source code and then choose device as the one and then choose carrier and download one of the matching ones.
For the other stuff I'm in the same boat as you. Just waiting for answers...I would try looking at youtube and type how to unbrick htc one and try those first. Didn't work for me but might for you.

Thanks. I'll look that up.
I am not bricked, as the situation is now. I just have a rooted phone, working with 4.3. And I want to upgrade to 4.4.
So I guess I have to choose HTC as carrier? I live in Denmark and am unsure whether to choose EU or EU NFC as region? Also what kernel version do I want to download? I am somewhat unsure what to do next.

Do a fastboot getvar all, and choose the RUU that matches your MID and your CID
I've only rooted my phone so far. From what I understand I can just install a "custom 4.4" from this point, right?
Hi,
No OTA updates for me as my Z2 Pro is running some merchant version as I have multiple languages available.
With that in mind, do I need to update to latest ZUI software, or simply unblock bootloader, root and flash custom rom?
At the moment I am at 2.1.120 ST
Same here. That's international ROM, which does not support OTA. I believe I'm gonna flash latest ZUI using QFIL method (there's a thread "How to flash stock ROM") but there's not much info about this latest ZUI version.
Both of you are best served following any of the guides to flash the stock rom via QFIL. After that you're free to decide how to continue (OTA, Custom ROM, Custom Recovery...)
Thanks, will do.
By the way, I bought the device specifically to go straight to a custom ROM. I had a really easy time flashing the stock rom, updating through OTA (didn't even need VPN for some reason) and then unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP and AEX. The whole setup works quite nicely.
And according to a number of threads the device should be close to unbrickable. But I haven't verified that myself
Hello,
I have a rather uncommon question: I'd like to fully revert back to CN, including re-locking bootloader. I'm currently on 1910.35 WW, fingerprint fully converted to WW. Should I do as follow:
- Root using magisk,
- Change fingerprint back to CN
- Flash RAW file of CN ROM (1910.52)
- Wipe, relock bootloader
Is this procedure correct, or should I do/ download something else? Do I need boot/root img as well? If so, could someone please guide me to where I could find a CN RAW package along with corresponding boot/root img?
Thanks!
Why you want to go back to CN I want to convert to WW coz I want a 10 and classic theme ? and multi language! Now even if you go back to CN you will never get any OTA updates from Asus you should download it.

Why wouldn't I get any OTA, if my IMEI is still the same? Apparently, OTA is dependable on your IMEI and not your the version of your system/fingerprint.
Anyway, I work in China, and when I go back there sometime, I will need my phone to be fully converted back. Converting your phone to WW is easy, there are many tutorials already in this forum.
Which way is better with root or without root ( via EDL ) method ?

Hello All,
First of thanks for writing all the helpful guides to unlock and root the RogPhone. I just got my new Rogphone 3 and I am trying to unlock the bootloader to root it and install Xprivacy mods to have a better control over of my privacy. Being a first timer I had certain questions that I wanted your answers on.
1. I am running software version WW_17.0823.2009.99.
2. I have unlocked my bootloader. That means I will not get OTA updates. Is there a way to side load and update these fixes?
3. How is ROM support for Rogphone in general? I get that this phone is relatively new and it will take some time to get other ROMs but I was wondering about the general trend
OTA updates not possible once bootloader is unlocked.
However, thereafter updating to the latest WW firmware is easy. Just download latest WW FW on to the root of Internal Storage folder of your phone (as is, don't change name); this file should be detected automatically and prompt you to update.
Custom ROM development for ROG3 is unfortunately non-existent at the moment. I hope this changes soon.
Ah! did not know this trick! Can I also use the TWRP to flash it? Will it be the same?
I am not sure about flashing WW .zip updates via TWRP on Android 10 (I don't think it's possible) - It's better to enquire in this forum's TWRP thread @ Captain_Throwback.
I've been waiting since its release to be able to root it, there are some tutorials online but they look sketchy and I dont trust them.
The only one I would trust is made by the magisk team but it has a link that says "cooming soon" when you try to download the Realme 8 Pro stock rom, which is also not present on the official realme website.
This is what made me skeptic: how can the youtube indian guy have the stock rom meanwhile neither the official website and magisk have it? is it worth to give it a try or if I mess up I wont be able to restore my phone? has anyone tried to do so? which tutorial should i use?
At this time there is no solution to root realme 8 pro, in-depth test app is not working with this device so far, firmware is not avaleble to download (from a credible source). We just have to wait, i don't know for how long, i just hope devs will find a solution in a shot time.
Is fileload.coloros.com trusted??
First the bootloader "can" be unlocked and this is the primarly thing to do.
Secondary rom images allready exists.
https://oppostockrom.com/oppo-realme-8-pro-rmx3081
http://www.frpbdteam.online/
Zip and opf's can be extracted .... So boot (kernel and ramdisk) can be modified to work with modified Magisk and all other needed things (Bootloader unlock, FRP, vbMETA, Verity ...) to gain root.
Regarding recovery and flash via current recovery the things are not known yet, also custom recovery options.
Update: Will be very hard to participate for this device ...
Yeah

Stock ROM is here
There are available stock roms, update OTA's but to be able to flash,root ... first the unlock bootloader should be available. Since the HAL is missing from the fastboot and the bootloader is still locked the only thing is to flash is original stock ROM.
Secondary AVB check, meta, recovery, boot, FRP and other things should be done also.
Currently the MSM flash is only available for signed and official files, also MD5 checked flash files.
There is no working piece of tutorial to obtain any of it. Some partially and also magisk patched boot allready done by me, but cannot flash it to test and prepare other needed steps.
Recovery is original, there is no log or cache log currently available to check.
Yes, But You have to root realme 8 pro rmx 3081 stock rom as there is no custom rom available i have sucessfully rooted realme 8 pro
EXPORT and GDPR Roms are different.
Guess you have EXPORT and not the GDPR (EU).
No custum roms available just because the bootloader lock and/or EDL verification and/or ABV and/or parted excrypted userspaced super.

probably that is not fake because it can be rooted using magisk but first unlock bootloder
Then ask @StratOS_HTC if it really is, gdpr for sure not, export maybe
GDPR bootloader EU version cannot be bootloader unlocked or rooted ...
