Cool Nexus 9 my next tablet
I just got my 9 today. fastboot oem unlock right out of the box. BRING ON THE REST!!! w00t!!!
I want to point out that in the developer settings there is a tic box for "Enable OEM Unlock" that needs to be checked before you can run the command.

Getting mine today as well. I've always OEM unlocked immediately and rooted used SuperSU on all my Nexus devices. However, on the latest L Preview for Nexus 5 and 7 Chainfire said you had to install a custom kernel to obtain root due to SELinux changes. Since I'm loathe to run a custom kernel on a new chipset I'm thinking of staying locked for the foreseeable future. Frankly ruins the Android "make it your own" ethos I've ALWAYS valued, but I just ain't gonna put up with tons of growing pains while all this is worked out.....

You should just unlock the bootloader out of the box anyway. Will save you much headache down the road when you decide to do it and already have a bunch of data on your device.

This. I always unlock first thing if I have any intentions on doing it at all. Simply because I don't want to lose my data later on. Unlocking is easy and took me 2 minutes on my nexus 9. No reason not to.

"No reason not to" meaning Google doesn't invalidate warranty merely by unlocking, right ?
Nexus were made to be unlocked.

Oh, that's good to know! This is my first Nexus device.
So, unlocking does not void the warranty in any way?

Discussing that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/help/unlocking-bootloader-rooting-n9-void-t2931784
By from HTC and warranty may be affected.
By from Play, and I think warranty is OK.
I'm considering returning mine since I'm underwhelmed for $400, and I'll just relock it and return to stock first.

I think regarding HTC, it depends on what's affected. I don't think that they will deny you a hardware warranty just because you unlocked the bootloader and/or rooted. Unlocking the bootloader is a safe process sanctioned by HTC themselves. Well, on HTC devices anyway. Nexus won't require HTCdev unlock.
They really can't even tell that you rooted or what you've done if you return to stock. All they know is that you unlocked the bootloader at some point. If the phone legitimately malfunctions, they won't deny you a repair/replacement just because you unlocked.
The first videos are now uploaded, hope you enjoy them. Everytime a new cusom rom is released ill upload a videos running the rom. Ill be testing video, sound, webbrowsing, maps, play store and custom setting(if the rom provides them)

As the title states, my friend who has the new 2019 SHIELD TV Pro at his home wants to dump the OS so that developers can take a peek and figure out how the new AI Upscaling works, and if it is portable to the older shields. Thanks for any help.
Developers are already trying to figure this out.

Hi, is he able to unlock bootloader with fastboot? There is a twrp he could use to dump it. Thanks for offering, will be useful.
EDIT: What exactly do you have? He is currently ready to try adb and fastboot commands, but he is currently in the middle of looking for a cable and to position a PC close enough to his shield, lol
No, he hasn't done anything like that yet. He has been waiting for me to get proper instructions on the entire process. I will walk him through the adb setup and see if he can get into the bootloader soon.
Thanks for the offer, I will let him know asap. He lives in the UK and I in the US so we're 7 hours apart. But at least it's a Saturday, lol.

Enable adb in developer settings and run `adb reboot-bootloader`.
A fastboot menu should show, use the power button to navigate and select unlock bootloader.
The device will be wiped and the bl will be unlocked.
Then boot into fastboot again and run `fastboot boot <twrp img I pm you>`
OK, I forgot about the wiping part. Good chance he might bail now, but we''ll see. Lol
EDIT: OK, he has no plan to bail on this process, but he can't find his A to A cable. So he just ordered it from Amazon. Will come back when he receives it. He ordered the UGREEN USB 3.0 cable below, so I hope that will work.

We were questioning if it being 3.0 was an issue or not. Most if not all people I know of used 2.0 cables for adb. But he wanted to buy the 3.0 version for several valid reasons.

I never received that special TWRP that you have. I have the official one and the one from the 2017/2015 models in the older shield forums. Are you speaking about one of those?
EDIT: Never mind, as soon as he unlocked it, it disabled Dolby Vision which is the reason he purchased it in the first place. As soon as he re-locked the bootloader Dolby Vision came back. VERY interesting find. This means that the Dolby Vision license that NVIDIA purchased had a stipulation that it could not be enabled on unlocked devices. Makes sense. He is doing a TWRP backup at the moment, but we still don't know how to dump the OS proper. He is trying my twrp image that I use for my 2015 shield TV.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80769929&postcount=312
Is that the one that booted?
Worst case, should be able to dd the images from /dev/block/platform. But the twrp backup is just a tar file, so should be able to extract stuff from there too.
Fwiw, I'm going to continue doing twrp and such support for these newer device in the same thread as the older devices.

Thx for that valuable information! ....This sucks big time...no unlocked bootloader means no magisk thus no root.
I had small hopes that dolby vision passtrough would be possible on my 2017 model by porting the new 2019 firmware to it (theoretically dolby vision is possible on 2017 model from a hardware perspective) but until now I thought I could sell my 2017 model, get a 2019 one, root it through magisk and have dolby vision.
No dolby vision on a magisk rooted 2019 model is an absolute dealbreaker for me
I'm not happy how nvidia handeled this....I'd even pay a small amount to enable/unlock dolby vision somehow on my 2017 model..
I mean there had to be a better way. Like, get the amount of wanted dolby vision licenses, order x dolby vision licenses and then sell them for x$ to 2017 and 2015 owners.
Yeah agreed. The 2019 now looks like the worst of all the shield TV models to me, except for Dolby Vision. Sheer unadulterated 100% pure money grab by Nvidia. I won't be downgrading my shield hardware just for Dolby vision. Instead I'm going to hold out hope that these 2019 features somehow makes their way to the earlier models.

It is potentially possible to restore Dolby vision as it seems to be done in software (as it comes back when bl relock). A dump would be really helpful (see what steel01 said above)

By soldering a usb port to the internal usb header, hopefully there will be an alternative in the future though
If still needed I have a dump(DD) of recovery, boot, system and vendor if someone needs it. I also have the OTA zip file from last hotfix 8.1.1 which was pushed a few days ago.
I'm still having trouble with rooting the shield 2019 pro I'm able to get twrp working with the twrp experimental version but ones started it can not find system. Since it's nod defined in /proc/mounts.
Tried pachting the boot.img from the Ota zip file but keeps hanging on the Nvidia logo.
Will upload a file to Google drive.

I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. That's one of the reasons I buy unlocked phones and not from Verizon. I unlock it, root it, install Adaway and Swift Installer right off the bat.

Not that I know of. Why are you hesitant to root? It's not hard. You just need to do your homework and follow instructions. We all had to start somewhere. Also, if something goes wrong, it's rare to really brick a phone. They can almost always be recovered.

There's no risk to rooting. Grab the MDM tool it's your always go to tool to bring phone back to stock if there's an issue.
I used to root for Adaway, Viper, and Substratum but with the theme engine now and Blokada (or my personal VPN) and most of my audio listening is not on this device I actually haven't rooted a OnePlus phone in almost a year. Keep in mind if you root you'll lose L1 provisioning (capped at [email protected] on YouTube TV which is a deal breaker for me) along with Netflix and other things that require Widevine DRM to play HD content. Also, having to update the ROM you gotta disable Magisk modules, disable substratum themes, flash the OTA, then reflash TWRP, reflash Magisk, re-enable all your modules and themes. At least this is how it was on the last round of OnePlus devices. Maybe I'm getting older but just simple flash OTA and reboot at my leisure and everything still just works...

Most apps can be light or dark theme.
You can also install DarQ from XDA Labs to dark theme more apps.
Quick Settings in the app store allows you to add a ton of more toggles to quick settings.

It's a bit old but you could try Andromeda from the play store and follow the instructions with substratum both installed and access to a PC worth a try couldn't shouldn't hurt
its pointless anyway
even on rotted OxygenOS most themes dont support it so there are always issues with themes
I prefer running custom AOSP ROMs as then themes work much better in terms of versions etc

I'm using Swift Installer and no problems. I have just about everything blacked out.
Many packages are supporting it now. Liv Dark, Swift, Darc, Liv Light, Valerie. Def worth the few minutes to gain root access.

Given there's no TWRP support as long as nothing goes wrong I agree. If during a flash or if the phone randomly wants to glitch out causing a bootloop during normal usage you're sitting with a paperweight unless you're in front of a computer with ADB and your files available to jump start this device in fastboot. No TWRP and rooting and flashing the boot partition to gain root in most cases likely fine but you're playing with fire without a way to attempt to fix your device while on the go. Correct me if I'm wrong and I might reconsider my personal stance.
In addition, I love this device for the option to root, but the L1-->L3 downgrade in DRM provisioning is a partial deal breaker for my personal usage with YouTube TV. I like to watch sports and being restricted to [email protected] is awful. I could deal with the 480p component but the lack of 60 FPS hockey and football are motion blur central. Keeping it not rooted keeps it at [email protected] or [email protected]

Don't root if you have no idea what you're doing
But like everyone said previously, root is THE thing to do once you got an Android
There's no harm for your device, if you fail, you flash a whole firmware and youre good to go again

Lol I sold mine a few days ago too. Can't justify 1k price. Getting a Poco f2 pro to check out.
Hi all.. The last device I rooted was an HTC EVO so it has been a while . I've been reading a lot and trying to catch up. I found both of these guides below to root the device. They both use a different approach. So I guess there's more than one way to do this, got it.. I guess I am just looking for some advice as to what is the most current/best way/safest to root the Tab S6 Lite. I have installed all updates provided by Samsung which has brought me to Android 11. I figured I should ask if the fact that I am already running android 11 could throw any monkey wrenches into the process of rooting it. It appears that Andoird 10 is expected within the guides. Can anyone recommend a guide for Android 11?
Thank you in advance.

I hate to say it, but I don't think using the discontinued TWRP is really too big of a deal. All things considered, it doesn't have too many bugs, and you can work around things like no adb sideload.
I just have a question. Do you think TWRP will ever be revived for this tablet, even an unoffifcial one? I mean, there seems to be a demand. Is it permanently discontinued or...?

No, I got stage fright at this point and figured the process isn't mature enough for my scenario, or I just didn't get pointed in the right direction. I think that part that concerned me was KNOX... something that didn't exist the last time I rooted an android phone (HTC EVO, yeah that long ago).

Thanks for replying. My S6 Lite is due to arrive today. I'll be trying to root my P610 with latest A11 firmware (US 2DUK1), with TWRP, will capture whatever I do.
Awesome! Much appreciated, I suspect there's many out there waiting for an updated guide.
I think twrp is not a good solution,check twice before flashing.
Rooted mine which is lte version,picked up latest from samfirm and patched AP with magisk,added rest of the files in odin from stock.
After flashing done,you must flash vbmeta and boot from stock packed in tar,to avoid error.
I have recently rooted my Onn 7, and extracted the boot and recovery images.
(I accidentally deleted the boot image, but I still have one patched with Magisk, and the recovery image is still present.)
I want to get the entire system dumped, including the original system and boot partitions, which would require some help from other tablet owners (I'm broke right now).
I can walk you through the entire process of rooting the system, I just need willing participants.
(I could also use some help porting TWRP, since I have no idea how that works anymore.)
Hi, just got my hands on this device. I'd appreciate it if you can help me get my device rooted. I'm looking to remove some apps that came along with it. Thanks

You need to dump your `boot.bin`, either from an OTA update, or from a temprooted system.
Hello, I have an Onn 7, Gen 3 that I just picked up. I found the files you posted in the other forum but am not sure how to build a TWRP based off of those. Help please
Im also looking for a root method for the Onn Surf 7 gen 2. I get that i need to use usb debugging to log the url for the ota update, however my unit came with android 11 go and says up to date when i check for updates after a factory reset. can you tell me what I've done wrong? also what program are you using to run adb logcat from PC?
