I was waiting for a root enabler for oreo (41.3.A.2.24), and I could find https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-x-performance/how-to/guide-stock-kernel-root-twrp-drm-fix-41-t3711837.
But this link is for version 41.3.A.0.401 and it does not work for everybody including me.
Since androplus still didn't bring out a new version of his kernel I tried the method from the above link.
But I'm using newer versions than in the description, I use TWRP 3.2.0, Magisk manager 5.2.2 and Magisk 15.2.
I can install the new version, twrp, the new boor image and Magisk 15.2.
I can boot and Magisk runs but the Safetynet control failes and Magisk does not enable root.
On the installation of the boot image, twrp and magisk I got some messages (marked in red)
unable to mount storage
failed to mount
Before I tried with magisk manager 5.5.1 and magisk 15.1 but then I got stuck at boot time at the sony logo.
Does anybody have a way to root Oreo (the latest version), enable DRM and enable root?
Ok I started all over again and I noticed I didn't follow the procedure first time.
So I excluded the FOTA kernel but whatever else I check no full wipe is done, I can always see the previous installed apps, it does not matter if I check Cust-reset, master-reset or reset-wipe-reason, the system is not wiped.
So that's my first problem, how to wipe the previous install.
Flashing the rom seems to be OK, same thing for flashing boot_oreo.img and twrp-3.1.1-0-dora.img.
I'm not sure about twrp 3.2.0.0 because this version is off-line now, so I tried with TWRP 3.1.1.0 and 3.2.1.0 but they all gave me the same result.
Problems start when I have to flash drmfix.zip, safety-net cleaner or magisk 15.2. The procedure tells me the flash is ok but have a look at thet attached images, I get errors while flashing. One picture for drmfix, one for safety-net-cleaner and one for magisk 15.2
After flashing all of this I can boot successfully but when I try to get root in ES File Explorer pro, it does not work. When I go into Magisk and try the afety-net check I get ctsProfile false and basicIntegrity False.
So the rom does work but I do not get root.
I tried all of this with the Italian rom 41.3.A.2.24.R1E ? I can start all over again with the UK version 41.3.A.2.24.R2E but I do not know if this makes any sense.
So can anybody tell me what to do to get it all going?

1 - Do use always Adrian DC latest fully working TWRP build for dora.
2 - You don't need a 3rd party kernel to achieve that, instead, you can easily create your own one, based always on stock kernel!
Thats the SELinux's problem.
Flash this first then flash magisk

I am trying to re-root my SM-T380 after updating to Pie and am following the latest process per [TWRP 3.2.1-1] [ROOT] Tab A SM-T380/T385 - 10/02/2018 but am running into some issues with steps 3 & 4.:
Boot to TWRP
Format the Data partition (not wipe) using the FORMAT DATA button under Wipe options
Install the memory decryption patch
Assume this is the file found in Ashyx's siganture Samsung encryption disable patch but I can't find any mirrors when trying to download it. Is this the right file for the memory decryption patch?
Install the modified kernel
The file for the SM-T380 found in this post appears to be for the T380DXU3CSI5 but the current stock image is T380DXU3CSL2 for the latest firmware installation (Jan 2020 security patch). I assume a new kernel is needed for this latest version. Is that the case? Also, the file is in tar format but need in zip format to flash in TWRP. Is it as simple as repackaging the tar into a zip file instead?
Install Magisk
Thanks for the help!
I will write out what I just got to work with the latest update of Android Pie for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A T380 running T380DXU3CSL2, security patch January 2020. I have tried all of the methods on the main TWRP/Root thread (which is now closed) and only had success with one.
To clarify, yes - using the patched boot.img from ashyx that was made from T380DXU3CSI5 WILL work with T380DXU3CSL2 (latest as of time of writing) just fine. Make sure to flash Stock first and OEM Unlock.
Ashyx does give some files still needed in his/her first post on the main TWRP thread, but the boot image and the DM-verity are buried within a 66 page thread. Out of respect for ashyx's wishes I will not direct link to files. Get TWRP from the first post here. The patched boot image and DM verity no encrypt get from the guide here by user zfk110. Pg. 65 of the TWRP thread. The guide itself did not work for me though. Just grab the files.
So, files you will need:
>twrp_3.2.3-1_sm-t380_oo_4119.tar (TWRP)
>T380DXU3CSI5_patched_boot_111119.tar (boot.img inside the .tar)
>Latest Magisk version here
>Tab_A_2017_Pie_forced+encryption_disabler-1.zip (no-verity-no-encrypt)
Not only have I found RMM Bypass unnecessary, but in my many trials I think maybe it was causing an issue for me. Perhaps someone much smarter than I can explain, but there is no setting in build.prop to need it - I did check.
TWRP/Root:
>Flash TWRP with Odin with "Auto Reboot" setting turned off: (file: twrp_3.2.3-1_sm-t380_oo_4119.tar in AP slot)
>Boot straight to TWRP (home + vol down + power to get out of download mode then as soon as the screen flashes swap to home + vol up + power),
>In TWRP main menu press "Wipe" and the "Format Data", type "yes" to proceed.
>Reboot to TWRP by going back to main menu of TWRP, select "Reboot" then "Recovery"
>Install boot.img to your boot partition from your external SD card in TWRP (there is a YT video how to do this within TWRP if you need help, just Google it. The file you need is: T380DXU3CSI5_patched_boot_111119.tar then extract boot.img from that for TWRP (use ZArchiver or a program that will unzip .tar). It MUST be in .img to install it with the TWRP "Image" button. TWRP won't even read that the .tar is there, and I don't recommend Odin for this)
>Install Magisk from your external SD card (I used the latest, 20.4 just fine)
>Install the DM-Verity Forced Encryption Patch from your external SD card (file: Tab_A_2017_Pie_forced+encryption_disabler-1.zip)
>Wipe Cache and Dalvik
>Reboot to System
Notes:
Boot image must be first before flashing the others. I tried it after Magisk et.al as with a number of people's directions and several other configurations in addition both in TWRP and with Odin (and the other boot image as well on the thread: t380_boot_pp.img - no luck on XSA for me at least) and it caused a bootloop every time. I don't know why. The smart guys are on the TWRP thread but it's closed (and confusing). I just try things.
To the other OP question here - use the later version of the DM-verity patch - the original one (no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx) you are referring to is a different size and structure (I have it archived) so it is probably necessary to use the Tab_A_2017_Pie_forced+encryption_disabler-1.zip. It's on pg.65 on zfk110's guide that I linked above (though again, the guide itself did not work for me).
Edit: I know someone could find this method out from the big thread but I know what it is like to feel newby and get confused and want to give up. And the number of different methods and files on that dang thread was a bit maddening honestly and frequently in direct conflict with each other.
Thank you for the guide Winston Churchill, I tried following it for my device Samsung Tab A T380 (build T380DXU3CTH4) but I am stuck at installing Magisk. The patched boot.img is installed successfully but when I go to the system and Magisk does not appear so I have to install it manually with Magisk.apk file. Then when I check the status it says "Installed N/A, Ramdisk Yes, A/B No, SAR No" and root is not active.
I really appreciate any help on this!!
Many thanks Winston Churchill, this worked for me after many failed efforts using other methods and procedures.
Just one or two cautions, as I had to go through the process twice -- because the first time I got locked out with an "unauthorized" firmware notice on the first reboot. I'm not sure if it was because I did not flash the RMM Bypass the first time, or I didn't make sure my OEM Unlock was showing after flashing TWRP, etc. At any rate, I ended up with the RMM Prenormal state.
So I started over . . .
- Odin-flashed my Pie version 3CSI5 one more time
- Setup, went through the time and software update thing to get OEM Unlock to show, and enabled USB Debugging
- Odin-flashed twrp_3.2.3-1_sm-t380_oo_4119.tar
- In TWRP, ran Format Data, rebooted recovery and Formatted again (this has been necessary or advised for other Samsung devices in the past, so I did it here too)
- Then flashed in TWRP:
--- (1) boot.img
--- (2) Magisk 20.4
--- (3) Tab_A_2017_Pie_forced+encryption_disabler-1.zip
--- (4) RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa_v2.zip.
- Wiped Dalvik and Cache
- Rebooted to system
- Made sure OEM Unlock showed and USB Debugging was enabled
- Installed Magisk Manager 7.5.1
- Opened Magisk Manager and made sure Magisk was installed (sometimes it takes a reboot to see Magisk, and sometimes I've actually had to go back into TWRP and reflash it).
All good. So I installed my usual root-needed apps, Speed Software Root explorer, Titanium Backup, Adaway and Power Toggles. All are now rooted and working (including Titanium Backup!!!) and my Android Pie appears to be very stable. Soooo . . . quickly back to TWRP to run a Backup in case something breaks!
I have never had so much trouble rooting any Android device before. The T380 is a nice size and very nice weight, but man oh man . . . I was beginning to wonder if I would ever get it rooted. I can't tell you how much I appreciate (finally) finding this thread and specifically your post.

So many conflicting instructions - Why exactly are people flashing this modified boot image and then magisk? Correct me if Im wrong, but isnt that what installing magisk DOES (patches the boot image) when you rename the magisk apk to a zip and install in TWRP? I only FINALLY got this working after I ignored the patched boot.img step completely and simply - flash twrp in odin, reboot rocovery, format data, reboot recovery, flash magisk, disable verity whatever, reboot system..

Magisk patches boot.img for Root access. Sometimes there are also other reasons for flashing a boot.img. I'm not an Android coder so I can't explain every reason why flashing boot.img might be necessary in this case.
. . . "rename the magisk apk to a zip" . . . you renamed a Magisk Manager apk to "zip" for flashing in TWRP? How did that work?
At any rate, my method worked for me and yours (however you actually did it) worked for you. I can say for sure that Android itself can be quirky, for example, my recent experiences with a Galaxy S9 on Pie where, after reflashing the exact same build 5-6 times -- because trying to set a security PIN for some screwy reason kept crashing the system (?!!) -- from one reflash to the next I got different app-disabling experiences. For example, a few built-in apps (like google movies etc) showed the option to Uninstall instead of the expected Disable. The same generic reason why an S8 G950U on Pie v8 can be rooted successfully using @jrkruse's Extreme Syndicate method, and other S8 G950s on Pie v8 will brick. Quirky? Weird, I don't know, can't explain, I just go with the flow as it flows and count my blessings when it works.

Yeah, you can rename the APK to zip & flash it in TWRP
The Magisk Manager APK can now be flashed from within TWRP
Magisk is now distributed as part of the Manager APK, meaning you no longer need to flash a separate ZIP file from a custom recovery.
www.xda-developers.com
However, I spoke too soon... I got it to stop bootlooping and actually got it to boot into system, and magisk manager is installed, but still not rooted. When flashing magisk in recovery again (or even extracting the boot.img & patching it in magisk manager, it recognizes it as a magisk-patched boot.img, but it's still not rooted. This tablet is frustrating the hell out of me, I'm about to say the hell with it & toss it.

As of January last year, okay. On older phones/tabs I almost always go with older Magisk versions that were more current with the older device's firmware.

Just a suggestion, maybe try using an older Magisk. I flashed Magisk v20.4 in TWRP and Magisk Manager v7.5.1 after booting to system. Older Magisk (zip and Manager) can be found on topjohnwu's GitHub.
Note, doing it this way, I always have to reboot one more time to see Magisk fully installed and working.
Hi,
I was trying to install the new version of Magisk 22, by patching my recovery image since Ramdisk is indicated as No in Magisk, but I can't figure out which recovery.img I should be using. I have OrangeFox 11 recovery installed, but I tried with its .img and it didn't work. My phone got encrypted, and I had to format my data thus reseting my phone in order for it to boot.
I also tried to flash the Magisk.apk file renamed as .zip but same issue, password at reboot which made me format my data partition again.
It's bugging me and I don't know what to do.
If someone can help me I would be very thankful!
U need only a recovery, flash the apk as zip. That's working
I already tried flashing the apk, it only ended with the same issue at boot, asking a password I didn't have

Then use magisk from orangefox. It's 21.4 I think
Thanks I will.
But it's still bizarre that Magisk 22.0 doesn't work on my phone
I just tried and once again it didn't work. I had to format data partition once again, and restore a previous backup, which by the way, didn't fully work.
I'm starting to think that I won't be able to install Magisk on my phone anymore

It worked fine for me. Maybe try and ask you problem in the general Magisk support thread? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/magisk-general-support-discussion.3432382/page-2264#post-84825737

You too have a Redmi Note 7?
Did you manage to install Magisk 22.0 or an older version?
Thanks I will ask on the general Magisk support thread
Yes I have. I used Magisk from Orangefox first time and since updated to Magisk 22.1.
I whould suggest flashing Magisk v20.4 zip for Redmi Note 7 using OrangeFox recovery, cause this worked for me, then using the Magisk app, update it to 22.1 using the app itself, its quick and painless and also can remove force encryption. I hope it could work for you.
The required files for root are in this link (i used the same files) https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bpvlCnRFNQS8hIrYY5ePWS6WXfeSyt9x?usp=sharing
P.S. dont unzip anything cuz the zip file has to be flashed all together
update : the apk is deleted cuz the zip already installs it
after uptade magisk my phone stuck in fastboot . i cant go to recovery . what i can do ?
phone is over or i can fix it ?
Open Magisk Github, and try to find a solution in the Magisk Troubleshooting
You say you "updated Magisk". Since you didn't describe how, supposidely you did by flashing Magisk through TWRP or by Direct method from Magisk app/mngr
Unfortunately, those two ways are most risky. If anything goes wrong (if you don't have TWRP backup) you cannot go back to the previous working configuration
It takes just few minutes more to extract and patch the boot.img and to flash it. If anything goes wrong, you flash the original unpatched boot.img or boot.img that was patched by your older Magisk and you are back in business.
To fix the bootlop now, it will take more than few extra minutes for extracting, patching and flashing the image every time when installing and updating Magisk

I did update magisk by direct method from the app. Now i am in a bootloop. I always had and still have the teamwin recovery project. Can you help me how to get out of this bootloop without losing my data?

You should better have updated Magisk by patching the boot.img, then flashing (from Fastboot or TWRP) - in that case, if you have bootloop you simply flash back your previously patched img that used to work
I cannot know what went wrong. Maybe, there is a module that is no more compatible and causing the bootlop:
- Reboot to TWRP, Advanced, File Manager and navigate to /data/adb/modules
Each folder corresponds to one module.
Add an empty file named: disable (exactly as that) to each folder/module (or only to those modules you suspect they might be causing the bootloop).
Once you disabled the critical module, you can boot to system and from Magisk app further manage your modules.
Or, from TWRP flash to Boot the original boot.img extracted from your OTA zip file.
When you reboot to system, there will be no Magisk but next time you install Magisk it will find and activate old modules, probably causing again the bootloop
Or, download Magisk apk, rename to uninstall.zip and flash from TWRP to fully uninstall Magisk (and all its modules, everything)
Recommending first method, but you see the other two options as well

Connect me pls on discord fkr me its like chinese now it would be easy if you tell me live what to press on the teamwin mode. The reason i update magisk was because i had a module to block ads but suddenly it didnt work so i opened magisk and i saw the update and did the direct update like how i always updated my magisk before.

I don't use discord and I have work and private life
I gave you directions that if you knew just basic things about flashing and File mngr in TWRP, about using Magisk, etc, would be nite than enough to follow directions
Most annoying users are those who install'nuclear bomb' like Magisk, do updates, etc, but never spent their time to learn (when things work and it's easier) how to use, read the Instructions (available by one click to Github from Magisk app), etc, and then when (sooner or later) get a brick, cry for somebody to guide them to click here, there, etc.
You can still use PC and google and fill the gaps from my instructions to what/how you must click here and there
Sorry to be brutal but I really don't have time

Its not that i didnt look up on youtube about flashing in revovery mode. When i did search for more information i get those videos of people in india talking their own language. Np if you dont have time and on other topic someone said that they wint use discord because it wont be public for someone else with the same problem but i was gonna make photos with the steps i did for fixing it. The thing is i cant find the uninstall. File or the older version of twrp. Skip i wont takr your time good luck with your private life
And about the installing nuclear bomb thing... magisk has the direct install option which is the nuclear bomb button (sometimes) the reason why my phone got into bootloop is a module which isnt working anymore its called energized its for blocking ads. I saw that it didnt work... before it worked fine i thought maybe i need to update magisk but thats why it went into the bootloop. I managed to delete the module through twrp mode and here this is for you

You don't need to delete modules (some of them, like V4A might be complicated to install again) - just disable them through still the working Magisk app before you go for updating
Or patch and flash the image instead of taking Direct install. There might be other reasons to cause bootloop, not just incompatible modules.
If it bootloops when you flash the newly patched img, just flash your old img, previously patched by the older Magisk version, that used to work for you
As simple as that - and no bootloops, no emergency help needed, etc

I am surei have the older backup in my internal storage of my phone but i dont know from where to recover that and on the internet they say everything and i am scared to make it worse than it is. I didnt use the phone for a long time because my lcd got a short circuit and i replacet it. On internet they say this bootloop problem can occure when you skip some updates some say to install a program on pc then go in download mode and fix with the program but i unpluggrd my pc and tv because me and they got too old for eachother.
Now i am just trying different things what i see on youtube and twrp says this: check picture.

I've had this ****, i just used abd to flash a new twrp img and dirty flashed the ROM after it flashed magisk back on again, only problem I got was safety new which idk how I solved but I think was using lsposed
Hello there, back in the day (2019 in March or April the phone shipped with Android 9) I rooted my galaxy S10+ Exynos with Magisk and stock recovery (because TWRP method did not exist yet or did but non twrp method looked safer, I forgot the reason)
Then I forgot about TWRP and even upgraded to Android 10 like this:
(standard procedure, download android with Friya, then patch ap file with magisk, then flash it with odin)
Well I used my phone as always, forgot about twrp, but always had a little voice in my head telling me, that twrp is good idea, what if something happens, I would at least be able to copy my data)
So I decided to flash twrp, to ease my mind a bit, and also be able to copy apps to /system/priv-app
So I am using Android 10 (see no reason to upgrade, what I need is there I prefer OneUI 2.0 over later versions and I dont want to make my device slower or loose some obscure api function that I dont even know exists until I need it)
Now, can I just use official twrp app and let it do its thing (I have root), or do I need to download twrp with the app, but prepatch it with magisk before I install it? (I read conflicting info, on xda they say you need to prepatch it, while on twrp guide: https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys10plus.html
They say to just use the app if you already have root, so I am confused now
It seams using the app is the easiest and most safe method
Thanks for Anwsering and Best Regards
only in case recovery and boot share the same partition, you will lose magisk after flashing TWRP (does not apply)

well, I gues this did apply to me, because I tried to flash TWRP with the app (latest version: twrp-3.7.0_9-2 that the app offered, it offered 2 files .img or .img.tar, and I chose to flash .img), and now my phone cannot boot, its stuck in download mode it says with red letters
kernel: Could not do normal boot, (DT LOAD failed)
I don't know know what happened, I only flashed recovery, and bootloader is unlocked
adb doesn't work
I cannot even get to recovery
So what now? Can at least flash TWRP somehow back so I can get ot my files (I have most of my videos on an SD card, but 2 or 3 are on internal storage )
I would reflash Android 10 anyway if it wasn't for the files
you can flash recovery.img as tar file but that is useless for backup stock ROM userdata. if you still have the magisk_patched.tar you can flash it to get your data back. don't flash unpatched stock boot.img this will most likely result in data loss.
I would first try older TWRP as DT LOAD failed (device tree) looks like TWRP problem to me.

OK
after installing TWRMP
3.4.0 I got into recovery
I guess the latest version twrp-3.7.0_9-2 is broken (because I tried flashing from Odin and I got the same error
but 3.4.0 works now
Well then I got into a non rooted android state (I couldnt boot into the rooted one because if I held volume up I just got into TWRMP)
I do have my magisk patched AP file (I did keep that), so I tried flashing it by odin to get into rooted state again, but then got scared because I was aftaid it would delete my data, so pulled the plug out, immediately after I discovered its flashing system.img (it just started)
thats where I interupted it
<ID:0/035> SingleDownload.
<ID:0/035> dt.img
<ID:0/035> dtbo.img
<ID:0/035> system.img
<ID:0/035> __XmitData_Write
<ID:0/035> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
So then phone would not boot, not in TWRMP not in android anymore, so I flashed TWRMP again and now at least
I am in TWRMP (I can see my files, but they are encrypted (they have wierd names but size does seam to match my files)
So how do I reflash android now, without messing with /data partition?
or can I somehow backup just data partition, reflash android and flash /data back?
let the magisk_patched.tar flash, just make sure you don't flash CSC (HOME_CSC is fine it won't erase userdata)

Yey, that did it (that was scarry), now root works, as well as android 10 (for some reason Magisk Manager does not open (but all the magisk modules work)
Now, I did patch this ap file back in the day I updated android to 10 so
I used Magisk Manager 7.4.1.291c718b
and if I remember corecly (thanks got I recorded everything) I patched the AP file for Magisk 20.2-11b7076a)
Now I have Magisk Manager 8.0.7 installed
So after I downgraded my Magisk manager to 7.5.0 it opened
Now I just have to figure out how to install Magisk v21.4 which is the version that belongs to my Magisk Manager 8.0.7, because Magisk Manager won't let me install a custom magisk, it only wants to download the latest version
you can install latest Magisk apk and patch stock boot.img again. Anyway I would do a backup with Migrate and adb pull -a /sdcard first.
or you can paste this url as custom channel and install older magisk if you want to.

aha, I see
is there any other way besides patching my AP file again? (I mean Magisk can clearly update itself somehow)
I mean, Magisk Manager does open (but only version 7.5.0, not version 8.0.7), and I have root its just that I don't have Magisk Manager 8.0.7
So how do I install a specific Magisk version from Manager? (I did try to install like a Magisk module, but now I am stuck in download mode again, so lets install Android 10 again )
look in the json for download link

OK, after I installed Android again (with my older prepatched magisk)
Not sure what happened but now Magisk Manager 8.0.7 opens and says I have 20.2-11b7076a installed
of course as this combo should not exist, magisk Manager cannot see any modules (modules are there in /data/adb/modules and they do work, its just that Magisk Manager cannot see them installed, which means you can not easly delete them and you could install them over and over again, since Manager would not know that they are there)
So now I need to find a way to update to Magisk 21.4
So how would I do that (I tried the module install method before (I downloaded 21.4 from official github release pages) , but that just got me stuck into download mode again, so any other way, is there a patcher for computer maybe?
I mean I can only install the latest version, even if I disable internet, I cannot select a specific version
refer to post #8
Thanks, after spending 3hours to get into magisk I decided to share my procedure (because I forget it a lot)
FIrst: make sure your phones last state was power off (you can eather power off from red button or from recovery)
Then turn phone on and start holding power button + bixby + volume up, and count to 10 then release (not 11, 10, if you count to 11 you will get to recovery)
To try out if you are in magisk mode (without ruining your saved wifi passwords), you can plug the phone into the charger, if it turn on normaly, you are in magisk, if it shows battery charging, then you are not in magisk mode)
OK, I tried updating Magisk with https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/b0694fad86/stable.json
but for some wierd reason, it doesn't want to update, its stuck on 20.2-1
OK,. I tried installing Magisk Manager v7.4.1 and when launching it, it said that it patched dtbo.img and it needs reboot, so after I reboot, I am stuck on download mode again
It sayd: DT table header check fail
well, lets install Android 10 a third time
wait, you're booting into recovery to get into Magisk? you can use Nemesis kernel to skip this.

Yes I am, but its allright, I am used to this
one day I will have to compile my own kernel anyway (to add some drivers to the phone)
Now I have to figure out why Magisk 21.4 won't install
I tried patching my AP file with it, but no matter what I do, I cannot get into it for some reason? (even my trust and tried method does not get me into it, while it got me into 20 all the time)
Is this version broken?
Whats the latest magisk version that still supports Magisk Hide (usefull thing that always worked for me)
With Nemesis kernel no need for button dance, it boots straight into Magisk. Magisk Hide exist up to v23 but there is also unofficial Magisk v25

Magisk needs the ramdisk of the recovery/TWRP to patch it. If flashing a non-prepatched image you will lose root.

Yea, I discovered that already
Now I am trying to get it back and failing
UPDATE: after installing Magisk 23 (last version that has Magisk Hide), prepatching AP file, and flashing it like 10th time, I finaly have root
Do I dare to try TWRP again? (I guess I need to prepatch it with Magisk before I install it with odin? (but which file do I install there are 2 files provided (twrp-3.4.0-2-beyond2lte.img.tar or twrp-3.4.0-2-beyond2lte.img)?
patch the tar file
