Where Can I Find The MDB08L Modified Boot Image For Root?

Where can I find the MDB08L modified boot image for root?
Hi, just received my Nexus 6P today from Google Canada, and found the tutorial "How to Root the Nexus 6P or Nexus 5X on Windows, Mac, or Linux—The Foolproof Guide"(can't post the link as a new user... ).
But this tutorial is only for Build Number MDB08K, where mine is MDB08L... Just wondering where can I find the Modified Boot Image for MDB08L or should I use the same image mentioned in that tutorial for my MDB08L? I did found the factory Boot Image on Google forum for Angler MDB08L, but I guess this is the factory one which is not "modified"...
Any help or suggestion is welcomed. Thanks ahead!

In step 6 read the 3rd paragraph. You can use that one there.

Thanks a lot ac16313!
Should I follow the steps in the thread you posted or I can still use that tutorial for rooting my phone? My only concern is in that tutorial, it says "
The new method roots your device without modifying Android's system partition at all—hence the systemless root moniker. This means that fewer of Android's built-in security measures need to be bypassed in order to gain root access, and in turn, early reports even indicate that Android Pay works with this new method.

No worries ac16313, I might just wait few more days and see if there is some new modified Boot Image for MDB08L coming out. Thanks anyway!

How About Root?

I know it is still early, but any ideas how to get root?
I just tried the following method without success (check details in the original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096)
maybe someone else might try it, to double check.
furthermore, I'm hoping to get an answer from the author / developer if it might be possible in the future.

ok, seems like the method above is outdated!

To whom it may concern (my English is not so good you should just try to get the meaning from the context )
I don't think this is a valid way for the Yoga Book. I compiled the dirty cow Exploit for the Yoga Book but it does not work. I used this code to execute it on the Yoga Book : https://github.com/timwr/CVE-2016-5195/blob/master/dirtycow.c .However this does not work on the Yoga Book : It will either not trigger the expected result to be able to overwrite an RO file or the yoga book just reboots.
There are a couple of developers also confirming that the existing android dirty c0w exploit code does not work on their intel tablets.
So we need somebody with more skills to modify the exploit c code for the intel tablets or another exploit. .....
If somebody has a link to an intel exploit I will test that.

does anyone know if it is possible to dump the bootloader and or recovery without root access?
it would greatly help to build a custom rom.
i was searching a lot but couldn't find an answer or a way how to do it.
or is there any other source out there, where we could get a full stock rom???

Ok, now that I got hands on a flashable stock rom update with the images of recovery and boot partition I 'dare' to port cwm. Honestly, I've never done sth like that and my experiences are litte, so my hopes are actually low.
If anyone can and/or would like to help, this would be highly appreciated.
If it works, it will definitely take its time.
Hope for the the best and plan for the worst.
Cheers

Not yet that I've seen....

hey there,
looks like I got TWRP working. It's definitely an amateur's work and I'm still not sure if everything works as expected, but so far it looks quite promising.
By now I was able to to backup and restore.
At the moment I'm trying to flash su - but without luck so far, it either hangs with a black screen when booting or root isn't installed properly.
So, I will play around with it for a while and report back soon.
Keep your fingers crossed.

[Unmodified] Pre-rooted firmware for SM-G361F

Hi everyone,
Today I am posting this thread because of some idiots who are now sharing pre-rooted firmwares for SM-G361F that are full of bloats.
I am sick of that, this is why I upload the archive of the first pre-rooted firmware I got that was at least clean.
You can download it here: https://mega.nz/#!oqpRhZJZ!B18uTiB3TH-QfChoqjgWCNmaPjqInPZbFyI4u9-T8s4
Note: This firmware is ONLY for Samsung Galaxy Core Prime SM-G361F devices with AOG1 build.
Of course I don't own the firmware and I didn't root it, I just keep the right to upload it.

Pre rooted
Hey,can you find SM-G361F pre rooted version for this device?
BaseBand G361FXXU1AQA1
Build number G361FXXU1AQD1
I can't find it anywhere

I love what you're doing. All other pre-rooted ROMS are full of trash. Could you make it for G361FXXU1APA3?

Hum... OK guys thanks for the love but I have to remember you something.
I am not a developer yet and truly not a ROM unbloater: I didn't "disinfect" the firmware, I just reuploaded it (well after a fast check, I found I've already prevented about that, just read the thread please...)
So no dudes I can't do that, sorry. I COULD eventually do that, removing bloats and extract system image to make a flashable shouldn't be as complicated, but I do not have time.
Sorry to disappoint you.

Hey Atronid, you rock! I have the AOL1 but intend to give it a try cause I already rooted it but it's full of bloast. Do you know if I can flash another pre-rooted firmware considering I did this already? could this be harmul? -brickful? )-

I don't think doing this will brick your device, but careful. Ensure the usal requirements are here (OEM unlock, USB debug just in case...) and you made a backup, also in case something goes wrong.
But if you're rooted you got plenty tools that can remove bloats from your device, but I hope you're not easily scared because once removed system may spam that the bloat you just uninstalled has stopped. You can get rid of that by just rebooting your phone.
So you don't need to reflash any firmware if you just want to clean your phone up.

Yes, you're right. The problem was that the apps I tried to remove other apps weren't the right ones, but now that's sorted thankfully On the other hand, as I couldn't find an Android 6 ROM for my phone (not even a sorry recovery.... ) in the end I set my mobile to install new apps on the sd card by default. Actually it works similarly to the app Link to SD, so a part of it is on the SD card and the rest (like the data it generates) in the device storage, despite all the tutorials sell this method as "Installation directly on your SD card". You need a computer and official Android development tools (SDK). In case it's of any interest for anyone I'll include the tutorial I followed, but it turns out I'm not allowed to post links yet, so the title of the article was Cómo instalar aplicaciones DIRECTAMENTE en la tarjeta SD from androidjefe website. In English, How to: Force Android to automatically install apps to SD card from softonic website
I hope it helps

Read first post. I don't think it will work if you have a build other than AOG1.
And you should not use TWRP to flash like this. Use Odin and Download mode instead.

Will this rooted firmware work with my SM-G361F phone? Need advice...
Hi there,
Will this rooted version work with my phone?
I'm new here and need some help and advice re Rooting this Samsung phone SM-G361F - I'M NO TECHIE but have ability to following instructions and make connections etc. My phone details are below.
Baseband G361FXXU1ASC1
Build LMY48B.G361FXXU1AQD1
Patch level is 2017-4-01
Security software version ASKS 1.2_161011
I did once try rooting a Samsung tablet using Odin and it all worked OK, but that was a while ago.
How important is it to get the identical build or baseband? Anything else I need to check?
I was trying initially trying to change the phone's MAC address, as I was experimenting with the phone, however I could not use an App to do this as it stated phone that the phone needs Rooting first for App to work. Also tried Terminal Emulator app but it kept failing to work as I was probably, unable to input the text commands required correctly.
I hope someone can please help and advise me on this.

Kind regards

Flash GSI Roms on Razer Phone 2!

While looking around and trying to compile TWRP and getting errors doing so, I have finall come accross a solution as to how to get GSI roms to boot, it seems we needed special flash instructions and im eve gonna test some other things later. But without further do, here are the instructions!
Step 1: Go here and read instructions CAREFULLY! "https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/"
Step 2: We need special flash instructions so flash this command. "fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" (Special flashing instructions here https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...18&postcount=2)
Step 3: if it doesnt work, try again. I am currently booting into Phh-Treble.
Step 4: Rejoice as we can now get away from stock!
Credits where credit is due !
UPDATE: Okay so, pretty sure dm-verify is making it so it doesnt fully boot :/ still working on it.

what you want to do is downlaod the stock rom, unzup it to desktop. copy your boot.img to your phone. download magisk manager from the xda thread. install the manager and then patch the boot.img. reboot the phone and you'll see it in your downlads. copy that to your stock rom folder (you'll need adb and fastboot files). run the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and youre rooted. but at this current time root is kinda pointless.
also... be sure to check out the root guide first. forgot you need to unlock bootloader and critical.

Rooting Tab S6 Lite with Android 11 installed

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.
