Hello, I have an itel A27 that I've been trying to root.

Earlier I successfully unlocked the bootloader. Then I generated my own signing key for the custom vbmeta, got the boot.img from the stock ROM and patched it with Magisk.

I had earlier problems trying to flash the patched boot image (custom-signed with own signing key) in the bootloader, but then I discovered that flashing it in fastbootd worked.

Code:

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_customb.img
Sending 'vbmeta_a' (1024 KB)                       OKAY [  0.033s]
Writing 'vbmeta_a'                                 OKAY [  0.232s]
Finished. Total time: 0.272s

Code:

fastboot flash boot itel\ A27/magisk_patched-25200_wAtyM.img
Sending 'boot_a' (65536 KB)                        OKAY [  1.849s]
Writing 'boot_a'                                   OKAY [  0.959s]
Finished. Total time: 2.848s

After these processes however, the phone got stuck in a bootloop and I had to use SoftwareDownload to reflash the stock rom Confused

I've been looking at the forum posts, apparently the existence of a boot_a would mean an existence of a boot_b too? Should I also flash vbmeta_b and boot_b? How should I continue along with this process?

The device uses a Spreadtrum/Unisoc SC9832E for reference.
Hope an Android 11 version for the TWRP porter is available too Big Grin

What version of magisk manager did you use to patch?

You need to reboot to recovery and perform a factory reset before booting back to android.
Flash vbmeta
Flash boot
Reboot to recovery
Do factory reset
Reboot normally
