rooting and disabling AVB
(18-08-2022, 03:02 AM)moiz_faisal135 Hello I am trying to root my device which is Vivo Y55 which was released in 2022. I am new to rooting and I wanted to root my device. First I downloaded my device's firmware and extracted the boot.img from it. I also extracted vbmeta and vbmeta_system.img from the stock rom. after launching adb, I put my device in fastboot mode and first disabled vbmeta and vbmeta_system using the commands you provided, it was done successfully, then i flashed the patched boot image from magisk and that was also done successfully, but after rebooting always this message shows up your device is corrupt and it will not boot. i dont know why this happens but i really want to root my device can anyone help me ?Is your bootloader unlocked?

(21-08-2022, 11:35 AM)moiz_faisal135 So like method 3 is flashing vbmeta, so like do I have to flash the empty vbmeta you provided in the link ? Will it work, I'm just scared like I don't want my device to get in a bootloop, that scares me
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img(22-08-2022, 10:38 AM)maxpayne(21-08-2022, 11:35 AM)moiz_faisal135 Right now my phone is working perfectly fine, I put it in recovery mode and reinstalled the software, when I do get back home I will flash the stock vbmeta, should I also flash the vbmeta_system ? It's also present in my stock rom, you know I did these exact same steps I flashed vbmeta and vbmeta system and then flashed the patched boot image from magisk but when I rebooted the system it shows the corruption message which I believe happened because disabling DM verity didn't succeed, I honestly don't know, should I only then disable vbmeta and vbmeta system and reboot ?
Flash back stock vmeta then using your stock vbmeta, run the command
Code:fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
(22-08-2022, 07:15 PM)kelvinchinedu This is all new for me honestly but that won't stop me from rooting, previously I was an apple user and I loved jailbreaking my device, I thought rooting android would be easy as well but it's complicated, I was reading on XDA forums that you need to download your device stock rom and extract your device boot.img and vbmeta from it and disable it from the given commands, now your saying we need to use boot.img from some sort of backup, and for vbmeta your saying it needs to be empty, but on hovatek forums it was written some devices won't react well with empty vbmeta so you can use stock vbmeta as well, can you please guide me and tell me what I should do now ?

Flash back stock vmeta then using your stock vbmeta, run the command
Code:fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
