[Please help] Fastboot Commands Inaccessible - Flashing Magisk boot.img
[Please help] Fastboot Commands Inaccessible - Flashing Magisk boot.img
(22-07-2018, 08:34 PM)kurasse My objective is to root an LG L90 D415 that I have with Magisk.. Im following the Hovatek tutorial on Youtube / patching "boot.img"
I have the "patched_boot.img" outputted from Magisk.
The problem is this: Fastboot commands on software version 5.0.2 for this device are not functioning, therefore Flashing custom recoverys &/or boot images is not possible through Fastboot.
Is there another way that I can write/flash the "patched_boot.img" for Magisk??
Chipset: Qualcomm MSM8226

(23-07-2018, 02:24 PM)X3non lets see a screenshot of the fastboot cmds you used and the error you got
also is the bootloader of your device unlocked?
(24-07-2018, 06:58 PM)kurasse I cannot access fastboot, I tried to zero laf.img on 5.0.2 because that works to access fastboot on KitKat stock D415 firmware..but when I did that fastboot commands wouldn't respond. To get Download mode back I had to root through Kingoapp & then install Custom recovery & finally flash a Flashable ZIP ROM & Bootstack.
The bootloader is unlocked out of the box apparently no need to unlock - forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75196068&postcount=212
(25-07-2018, 04:10 PM)hovatek If I get you right, rooting (via any approach) isn't exactly the goal; rather, you want to be rooted specifically via Magisk patched boot.img (systemless) right?
as for fastboot commands not responding, did you try using the latest version of fastboot? Refer to www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-17105.html
(27-07-2018, 04:57 AM)kurasse Yes, exactly my ultimate goal is to root with Magisk.
I did try using the latest version. ADB detects the device but after issuing "adb reboot-bootloader" the phone boots into normal boot mode & straight into the system interface. No chance to use Fastboot commands..
(27-07-2018, 12:08 PM)hovatek The goal is to get magisk boot.img in. Since you have custom recovery, you could replace the boot.img in the flashable zip with the magsik boot then flash in custom recovery . As for the fastboot thing, I'm looking up conversations on your phone model running Lollipop
(27-07-2018, 05:18 PM)kurasse I don't have a custom recovery, it's not possible to install without rooting or fastboot. This ROM I have on this phone is the latest version of the software, no modifications have been executed on the system.
