ROOTING ISSUES

dapo4friends · 12-06-2019, 06:31 PM

WHEN I TRIED FLASHING MY PATCHED BOOT VIA FASTBOOT, THE SCREENSHOT BELOW IS WHAT I GET.

THEN HERE IS THE LOG MESSAGE, I DONT UNDERSTAND IT:

"File creation error - The requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped section open."

Please has anyone of us here successfully rooted Infinix Note 5 Stylus using Magisk and the phone's boot.img, or what other method did you use?

Magisk patchinv plus fastboot/miracle box flashing completed but still no root achieved.

Also, have you been able to flash a custom recovery?

Thanks

screenshot says magisk isn't installed
how did you flash patched boot? attach screenshot of tool used and confirmation of success
are you sure you flashed patched_boot not stock boot thinking its patched?

I'm not where I can get a screenshot now...but I'll explain:

1. Installed Magisk manager
2. Opened it and says Magisk not installed
3. Clicked install and it asks if to download zip or patch file
4. clicked patch files
5. It asks to locate your stock boot.img.. you do that
6. If downloads zip patch file...works on your boot.img
7 it stores the Magisk patched boot.img in your downloads folder
8. I copy that to my adb/fastboot folder, startup command prompt in there, and use adb and fastboot commands to flash Patched boot.img using "fastboot boot patched_boot.img" as final command
9 tells you it's successful and shoes the amount of seconds it took.
10. Fastboot reboot
11. Root check.. No root...

Tried miraclebox flashing too using relevant stock ROM scatter file, Custom DA and renamed patched boot file... Situation remains the same..

read firmware (or read only boot) from your phone using miracle or wwr, zip and upload the boot file then post the download link here

Here is the boot.img in zipped form backed up with miraclebox. I hope something comes up..cos this is driving me nuts...

I wonder how Nedmichael did it, cos he itemized exactly the same process i have tried several times..

Thanks hovatek, sorry for the late response

this boot.img is stock not patched_boot and it confirms that you haven't flashed patched_boot
once again, how did you flash patched boot? attach screenshot of tool used and confirmation of success or even a video if possible
