Anyone successfully rooted the galaxy z fold 2? If so, How? - Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion

I have tried to follow this link, https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-galaxy-z-fold-2/, although ODIN fails to load the .tar file.
I have unlocked the bootloader, and am in download mode.
Any ideas. I want to try and recover photos if possible.

When you unlock a bootloader the phone is wiped at that time so everything that was on your phone before unlocking the bootloader, is gone.

I guess you need to flash together with BL, CP and CSC even if you want to flash custom recovery only as AP.
It is very helpful installation instruction guide from Github of Magisk by topjohnwu (especially for Samsung device).

From Bootloader - Android System Status: Custom

See pics. After unlocking I get a custom Android boot screen and the phone will not read any SIM. Appreciate if someone knows how to reverse this. Running Android 5.0 (can't root, install custom recovery, flash, or update from external storage).

Did you unlock the bootloader?

No. AT&T and Verizon lock the bootloader starting with Android 5. I did find that the baseband version is "unkown", which is why the radio is not working or reading a SIM. See picture.
Hmmm
So your ril got corrupted some how is what it looks like to me.
What is "ril" the acronym for?
In any event, where can I get a stock 5.0 or higher ROM that I can hopefully flash from my sd card. All I'm seeing is 4.4.2. Apparently, the AT&T updates are OTA.
Hmmm
I'm out of town right now and can't find one on xda. Try sammobile.com. Don't try ro flash it via sdcard. Odin or adb sideload would be the way to go. I would also suggest rebooting into the built in recovery and resetting it that way.
Thank you. for the suggestions. Before posting the original thread I tried a factory re-set (volume up + home + power), as well as Odin, and neither worked.
AT&T has the bootloader locked tight on Android 5.0 and above.
Yes
That is unfortunately true. Where did you buy the phone? And do you live in the states?
Use Triangle Away apk.
It's US stock, original AT&T device. Worked fine with the exception of poor battery life after the 5.0 OTA upgrade untilit was unlocked.

Bricked my CM G1, need to flash in QPST or miflash?

So I bricked my CM android one 2nd gen and it's not booting up, I can only see boot page like forever.
How did I come to this?
I cleared the cache in recovery then it somehow corrupted the /cache folder.
What I forgot to do is I did not enable OEM unlocking in settings so I cannot flash anything in flashboot and adb.
I'm stuck because my phone is
1. Not rooted
2. Bootloader locked
3. No custom recovery
4. Stock Android
What I plan to do now is to use the QPST or miFlash, I have already installed the necessary drivers and I can see my phone detected in download mode (using COM port)
My problem is I don't know where to look for the files needed. Or I'm not sure if these are the correct files I need because I just got the screenshot from other qualcom based phones. But I want to try it.

I wanted to do factory reset while I was using custom ROM (LineageOS) and then my phone restarted to recovery but I'm not using stock one. Now TWRP recovery goes on, then screen blinks and over and over again.

Your device is bricked, you have to use Odin. By the way, there are different TWRP releases, and there are different Lineage releases, too. Be precise to get proper help. And use thx buttons

And how can I use odin to get it to work?
Read the Odin thread to learn how it works. Choose Odin-flashable Recovery and by taste to flash it. It's all good explaination there, Odin methods included, and you need to know how things work, so you have to teach it yourself.
You just need a working Recovery, after that you can flash as before from sd card or flash the rom with Odin. Cheers

Recovery?

I hope someone can compile a recovery for the U19e.
It's possibly HTC's last release ?
I don't want to order it until I know it's rootable.

How to root without twrp
*****************************
没有twrp怎么root啊,跪求
What a waste
I have bought HTC U19e, its a beautiful phone, responsive and good size...
But with no help from @sabpprook , no RUU, silly A/B partitions, no 'fastboot boot' support. Doubt this phone will ever be supported by TWRP developers. No root means I will have to throw the phone away. Such a shame.
Well, the magisk-install thread says:
In case your device lacks a custom recovery, you can either :
Manually patch your device’s boot image and flash it, or
Use the Direct Install option
Just try the alternate way -may you have to unlock bootloader via the normal htcdev site.
6 months have passed, the phone still in the box never used
sabpprook confirmed he is not willing to help or share his patched boot image.
What a shame more people didn't get behind HTC.

I just bought an U19e too. Do you have any ota/ruu files? Maybe I can help.

It's been a minute since I've flashed, but have you downloaded the Odin files to refresh back to stock?
Yes i had been tried to flash latest firmware and first firmware
From what I see Bootloader is locked, right ?
First firmware most probably won't work because you cannot downgrade the bootloader, so it needs to be the latest version.
What happens if you reboot from here (7 seconds Vol Down and Power) ?
Nothing it restarts and than a samsung logo and then shutoff
fireware binario 4 flash
I am flashing the same build
unlock bootloader cause OEM:ON(L)
Can we unlock bootloader by download mode because device not starts
is it exynos or snapdragon? also, is it 5g?

Based on picture download mode it's a G998B, so exynos S21U 5G.
@ShaDow18 It seems the Knox Guard is also locked. What have you done? Did you try to root the phone?
This did not happen like that..
What are the exact FW deginators you have tried/wanted to flash? Are you certain you have the right FW?
I tried to root but in middle it stopped and after that this happened
4bulf version i tried to flash
you tried to root it without unlocking the bootloader?
