Note:I'm going to assume you have the Fastboot and ADB Drivers installed and the boot loader is unlocked!
Why is this here?
This thread is made to help new users install the developers preview through what I think is the fastest way and safest way too through the command prompt on Windows.
Responsibility!
If your device becomes bricked, makes toast for you, and anything else I did not mention its simply not my fault since you took it upon your self to do this method.
Credits!Thanks Google for this lovely Operating System. Thank you Chain Fire for providing this method to root Android Lollipop and for your app and boot.img too! Thanks to LG for manufacturing this great device to use and enjoy stock Android. Finally, big thanks to TWRP for providing us with this recovery!
The Steps!Step 1: Download the Lollipop preview HERE, extract it and open the folder with all the image files along with the radio and bootloader image too.
Step 2: Drop all the images to your folder that contains the ADB and Fastboot files
Step 3: Open the folder that contains the ADB and Fastboot files
Step 4: Hold the shift key and right click and click "Open command window here"
Caution! Make sure you back up everything before you begin the process if not its not my fault you forgot to back up.
Step 5: Make sure your device is in fastboot and connected. We are going to replace the boot loader for a newer one. Please make sure the boot loader image name first before we began because i'm just going to use boot loader as a example the real file name will be different. Type the command shown below.
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
Step 6: Now we are going to flash the Radio as also stated above be sure to check the image name before we flash.
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
Step 7: Now we are going to flash userdata. This part you don't have to worry about the file name you can just copy and paste the command but, I would double check.
Code:
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Step 8: Now going to flash boot or the kernel just as step 8 and here from out I will let you know when you have to worry about the file name again.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Step 9: Now were flashing the system files.
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
Step 10: Now were flashing the a custom recovery (twrp for this example) so we can install the SuperSU files later. You can get the recovery image HERE and rename it "Trecovery" and place it to the same folder. After flashing it go to the recovery and from there reboot it.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery Trecovey.img
Yay! We got Android Lollipop now we have to root it.Step 1: Let Andriod Lollipop boot up and go download SuperSu on your device by going to Chainfire SuperSU thread and click on his installable zip link and download SuperSU 2.14 or above. On your computer download his modified boot image HERE and rename it Rboot.img and move it your folder where the ADB and Fastboot files are.
Step 2: On your computer go to fastboot again on your phone and type the code in below.
Code:
fastboot flash boot Rboot.img
Step 3: Go to recovery and install the SuperSU zip as usual, reboot, and that's it. Enjoy!

Trecovery.img
Thanks for your work. Unfortunately, we already have a sticky thread on flashing images and rooting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
The method to flash and root lollipop is no different than any other version.
Because we don't want multiple threads with the some information I will close this thread
Thanks.
hello xda people,i thought i might share this with you since i've tested and done it myself about rooting kitkat eu update.My bootloader was factory locked and proceeded unlocking it and i barely managed to install Hazou's unoficial twrp recovery(see this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2278483) wich was done via fastboot,but mostly even after the custom recovery install i didn't managed to get root on kitkat,so i've tried ChainsDD superSU update pack witch seems to resolve the problem because the update package installs the propper package according to system specs,so if anyone there wishing to root or doesn't quite figure out,here's an simple how to:
1Make sure you have all the drivers installed.
2install or download android sdk
3 from the sdk,copy on your desktop platform-tools (for easier job)
4 download recovery image from Hazou thread,see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2278483 extract and place it on platform-tools folder you copied on your desktop
5in platform-tools folder open cmd line and enter your phone in fastboot
6type "fastboot devices" without quotes
7 if your device is listed,type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8now after cmd confirms if the flash was succesfull, either head to recovery from fastboot mode and see if twrp is installed,if it does keep your phone connected to pc
9 download chainsDD superSU update to external sd,link to download https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8m4rdNFVU4_YjV4X2gtUjNhZVE/view?usp=sharing
10 install via twrp,wipe davik+cache, reboot and enjoy
You can get the latest CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP from here. It has x86 support and works on the Razr i.

I like this method, you're always left with a fallback or the option to the Rom flash again or use an alternate when using recovery, I've started to prefer TWRP over clockwork recently
Hello everyone! In this guide, I Sidharth will tell you how to flash recovery, root and access bootloader on the Realme 8i and Narzo 50, you probably have seen another guide by Pritish, it's not wrong but it became kind of outdated .
So lets begin,
Requirements:
PC (with windows or linux installed)
Platform tools installed
First unlock the bootloader by following this guide: http://telegra.ph/HOW-TO-UNLOCK-BOOTLOADER-REALME-8INARZO-50-05-08
Or this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-flash-twrp-and-root-rmx3151-rmx3286.4369399/ (dont worry about the boot imgs, just unlock the bootloader normally and boot the phone, don't go on the second step)
So after doing that, you should have platform tools and adb drivers installed, I am not going to tell you how to do that exactly but you should find tons of tutorials on the internet for both linux and windows. (I am going to be using Linux in this case but everything is the same for both windows and linux in this case)
Download this file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13J2zlrUz84ZDSPERdosgNO6xdhwah4hl/view?usp=sharing
and paste it in your mtkclient folder (you should have that by now if you already unlocked the bootloader.)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Open the terminal and then type: python mtk w lk lk.bin
Now, power off your phone, hold both volume buttons and until it is done
Check if the phone boots into fastboot by holding volume down and power.
If it shows something like this then congrats, you have fastboot access now.
Flashing recovery is very easy now.
Download TWRP image from the TWRP website: https://twrp.me/realme/realme8i.html
Just keep it in the platform tools folder for now.
Boot into your phone, and download the magisk apk from here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
After downloading it, download ZArchiver from the Play Store and replace .apk with .zip and save it.
Now power off the phone and boot into fastboot/bootloader.
Open the terminal inside platform tools and:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot recovery
You will be in your custom recovery now .
Now goto install, and select your magisk zip, and flash it normally.
After that is done, reboot to system and rename the magisk zip to apk again and install the apk.
Boom you have also rooted your device .
Thanks to Pritish for bootloader unlock guide and patched lk
also guys please let me know if you have any problems
here is how you can setup mtkclient on linux:
git clone https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
cd mtkclient
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
then you should have a mtkclient folder where u can execute the commands

Is there a way to do this on a Mac? I have Realme 8i RMX3151 but do not have access to a Windows computer. Thank you.
I tried the Deep Testing App and it gives the following error "Failed to submit application. This phone model does not support deep testing."

No need TWRP or O.F for rooting.
Root***:
1. Find or redownload the TGZ file for your current ROM or other rom.
2. Browse inside the zip file and find boot.img under the images folder
3. Copy this file to a temporary location in your PC first, and then transfer it to your phone
4. Install the desired version of Magisk app
5. Run the app and choose Install under Magisk
6. Choose Select and Patch a File, then select the boot.img that was transferred earlier
7. A process will run and create a new .img file in the same folder where the original one was
8. Transfer the new file to your PC in the same directory where fastboot.exe is located
9. Open a command prompt window in that same directory
10. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode and connect to PC, USB2.0 port. Check for connection by running command fastboot devices.
11. Run the command fastboot flash boot_ab magiskXXXX.img
Once it's completed, run command fastboot reboot and the phone should boot and be rooted.
***
This is the most common current method.
On some devices, vbmeta,disable-verity are required.

I am also having issues like OP
My phone Redmi 9 M2003J15SS Miui 13.0.2 (Stable)
Already patched via magisk and copy that image to pc and run fastboot with exact command..
But after sending some files, it says
Sending 'boot_ab' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.538s]
Writing 'boot_ab' FAILED (remote: 'This partition doesn't exist')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Can you help with that?
Do I have to open a new thread? I am new here. I just see your valuable post and seems the same scenario as OP except for the model number.
Also can you help me to provide these On some devices, vbmeta,disable-verity are required. if needed.
This is my first time and i am a noob
Use this command but it looks like you have to use vbmeta,disable-verity.

Nope, if your device is rooted, now.
Hello. I have my 9t pro with the miui eu 11.08 rom. I want to downgrade and put a stock rom.
Can I do it with TWRP? I don't have windows to use myflash.
If I can do it, will it close the bootloader?
What wipes do I have to do? all? I guess I'll lose TWRP.
Thank you

No, you have to do 'full' flash - you have to use fastboot type stock ROM that must be installed from fastboot
Instead of flashing by MiFlash, unpack the tgz, inside you will find few bat scripts. Take the one whose name indicates that Factory reset is included, but that re-locking Bootloader is not included (or open the scripts in Notepad and study their contents)
Edit that script and remove downgrade protection (first five or six lines or so, with minimal DOS and Fastbooot commands knowledge you will understand how the script works and which lines must be removed or commented out - besides, comments are provided in the script)
Then run that modified script in Fastboot
(If you simply use MiFlash it would run that downgrade protection, hence it would not allow you to downgrade. Even worse, MiFlash will by default relock BL that could brick your phone if anything went wrong)
Google for more details - many guides are available on the Net, for various Xiaomi phones (always the same/similar) that describe the above method: unpacking tgz/fastboot ROM, editing the bat script and running the script in Fastboot (instead of by default flashing the tgz/fastboot ROM package by MiFlash)

I told you NOT TO USE the MiFlash but manually the scripts in Fastboot
If you have PC with Linux, you can do the same - tgz contains also the same/corresponding sh scripts for Linux
you can do all in TWRP and you won't lose TWRP, but it's long manual process. if you have another rooted android device handy, you can use fastboot via OTG adapter.
