Hey there, I tried to root my pro1x, but I am stuck at the fastboot flash boot ./magisk_patched-25200_mggB1.img part. While I do see the connected device in fastboot mode, I do not see it in bootloader mode. The trick with the installation of the google drivers didn't do the trick for me. it helped in fastboot mode, but not in bootloader mode, the driver update window just says: Driver couldn't be installed, the system did not find any drivers for the device. Although I selected the google usb drivers zip content, which did the trick in fastboot mode. Any ideas or advise

Thank you a lot @mosen, for the detailed reply. So as long as I stick to android, I shouldn't need to fix a broken persist, that is good to know. If I want to be on the save side, I could fumble with the Qualcomm QPST gui to create some backups, but they should not be needed. Concerning the recovery, I was not able to get a menu in it, only for the bootloader. But I guess I will stick to the official root and flash instructions, so I may not need this, hopefully. Just for anyone's information, who may come across this post and needs some input for using edl on windows: I was not

Okay, maybe I try it, on the weekend, if I can find some time for it. Python should indeed be no problem. In the backup process there shouldn't go anything deadly wrong, I guess ^^.

But the EDL is a linux tool, right? Since I've no Linux this seems quite difficult to me. or is there a way to use this over WSL? I had some problems with installing programs on WSL in the past. In addition have no experience in using my USB connection from within WSL as well. However, do I need this? I don't want to switch OS only uninstall the google apps. I haven't done any changes to the device yet, so flashing the stock android would not be a problem, if I would brick the phone.

Hey there, I have not so much routine in rooting, flashing and restoring. I once did this a lot with a htc desire z and a Motorola droid 4(?), but since I bought my BlackBerry Priv back in 2017 I'm out of the game. I now want to root my pro1x in order to get rid of (all) google apps and use microG instead (if this is possible). I don't want to flash another ROM, just degoogle android. Am I at risk crashing my persist partition in this process as well? As far as I understand, that should not be the case. However, being able to create a backup would be nice anyway, but I sadly could no
