(21-12-2020, 01:41 PM)thabitu Hello, i have successfully unlocked the bootloader, and flash empty vbmeta, using adb, and fastboot, but the twrp porter is still popping dm verity error while trying to port twrp
Our porter only reads your recovery image and warns you if your model has dmverity. Since you've disabled it, you're good

Ok, but there is nothing in the output folder, and does the porter warns you even if you disable it? Does flashing vbmeta not enough to disable dmverity?

Disable your antivirus then retry the tool.
As I said, the tool checks the recovery.img, dm verity is disabled on your device. The tool doesn't connect to / check your device. It only warns that your model comes with dmverity (based on checking the recovery image) so you should disable it before trying to flash the TWRP or root

No you can't do that via fastboot. Only via the flash tool for your chipset can you attempt that. I strongly advise you unlock bootloader before modifying your OS
