Disabling dm-verity on Umidigi A3X - Bitsurah - 05-05-2020
So I bought the Umidigi A3X. It's an Android 10 phone. I'm trying to root it using Magisk. To do that I need to disable dm-verity on the patched boot.img. The only way to do that seems to be through fastboot. But no matter what I do my computer can't detect the phone in fastboot mode even though it does detect it in ADB. I tried installing so many drivers including one that is advertised to be for it specifically from this page:
*****
I tried flashing an empty vbmeta in sp flash tool but it didn't work. dm-verity was still on somehow.
Here is a link to the patched boot.img:

Is it possible to maybe disable dm-verity without fastboot?
Any help would be appreciated.

it's more likely that you're using old adb binary than driver problem
ensure USB debugging is on > connect the phone to the pc and accept the usb debugging prompt > check device manager and ensure that the driver is okay
if it is then use latest adb and fastboot from google platform tools @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-17104.html

Didn't detect the phone either. Is fastboot really the only way to disable dm-verity on android 10?(05-05-2020, 12:12 AM)Bitsurah So I bought the Umidigi A3X. It's an Android 10 phone.

you have not confirmed if or what your device shows up as under device manager. attach a screenshot showing your device manager while the phone is connected to the pc in fastboot mode
and its best you use fastboot cause your device might require an unlocked bootloader

look at what the device got detected as ADB interface, which means the phone is still powered on to homescreen...you didn't reboot your device to fastboot. run the command below to reboot to fastboot mode
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
