Armor2 Root+Magisk success

[MENTION=3837734]djvinniev77[/MENTION] , [MENTION=5404196]sumec100[/MENTION] Thank you for the Help!

I finally made it!

I installed 20170927 rom from needrom with format&download method. (Latest firmware has issues with the home button)

I used magisk 14.3 instead 14.5, and voila the phone is up and running with Root

I used djvinniev77 button config to disable that annoying SOS button

I cutted my sims to fit the nano sim slots, and used Sumec description's to reset IMEI to original one

Things left to do:

- Assign specific contacts to simcards (I have bussiness and private contacts, and i do not want to mix them ) , so i'm looking for a great app to do it

- Install offline navigation

- Install button mapper to use flashlight with dedicated button

- Tasker, because i need special settings when i'm on call (Turn off notification off except few apps, and make annoying notification sound on those that alerts me)

To sum up: Guys, Thank You!!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One-Winged_Eagle:
Greetings!

I see I ain't the only one owning an Armor 2 and trying to tweak it a bit!

I've tried the "Russian method" (well, the classic oem unlock and flash recovery, but the Russian TWRP was a first!) to install TWRP and SuperSU, but now I'm stuck in TWRP: I don't know if the SuperSU is actually installed, I can't reboot into system and my phone isn't detected by my computer anymore, be it in fastboot mode or by mounting the SD card in TWRP...

I've tried to install the last ROM with FlashTool, to "reset" my phone, but I just can't get the download to start, my Ulefone definitely won't show up on my computer.

I've always found a way to "unbrick" my previous devices, but I can't figure out a solution... If someone could come up with some magic trick (or maybe I'm just overlooking something obvious?) to save my poor Armor 2, it will be greatly appreciated!

Cheers loves!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MystikMan97130:
Use power off option in TWRP and flash full Firmware.

If you want root replace the stock recovery by TWRP and flash SuperSu or Magisk before start system
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpsayin:
Chances are you didn't flash SuperSu (or magisk)

immediately

after flashing TWRP. It causes a bootloop if you don't have root with TWRP. Follow the instructions in reply #31

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74294320&postcount=31 to get back to where you were. And then if you still want root or magisk follow the instructions on replies 96,97 and 89 respectively.

Good luck! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One-Winged_Eagle:
Thank you both for your quick replies, but I just can't seem to make the FlashTool working: I follow the steps, but it seems that the phone can't be detected by the computer, and thus the download and the "red progress bar" never happen...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumec100:
on what systeme run flashtool win or linux?

you have already installed rom through the flashtool on this phone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One-Winged_Eagle:
I'm on Win 10, but I shouldn't have any problems about drivers (as I used adb and fastboot smoothly).

Nope, never flashed this phone before... Oh, and a little update: now I don't even boot into TWRP, I just loop onto the "Ulefone Armor 2" screen.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MystikMan97130:
Did you connect the phone with holding Vol up button? Power of phone only
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfigas:
I have a problem also..

When I try to download and install a module via magisk, it says that magisk is not activated and aborting the install and cannot find any info on net,

please advise.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumec100:
adb drivers have nothing to do with the flashtool drivers, you need to use SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1728, and VCOM driver (download here http://spflashtools.com/windows/sp-flash-tool-v5-1728)

- flashtool must be run as administrator, choose MT6757_Android_scatter.txt, choose Format ALL + Download, press download, have phone switched off -> press and hold vol + -> connect the phone to PC.

This is a necessary procedure.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumec100:
three weeks I read these threads why it does not work:

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589

here is the main reason why it does not work on Armor2:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70492947&postcount=8793

- here you can help partition /data formatting on ext4 (I have not tried it, I do not know how and now I do not want to set it all up again) :D

Other reasons are:

- Modules for Magisk14.5 are not upgraded :crying:

- Magisk uses Google Web View.apk, which is frozen in this phone (I'm like this, over titanium I uninstalled chrome.apk and thawed WebView.apk and updated on google play, after thawing WebView.apk you need to restart your phone)but this fix does not help :crying:

From this it results, that it is still necessary to wait for the Magic to be further developed.

So in the previous post I wrote what works and we do not depend on installing modules from magisk. In version magisk 14.3 SafetyNet did not pass nearly all of my apps, now everything goes except the xposed module. ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumec100:
Great :good: , this will simplify the work if the phone fails. Now my phone works well, so I will not try again (but one never knows when it will fail :D ).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hookwood:
Hi,

Two days ago I received my Armor 2. When I wanted to install the phone it didn't recognize my sim card on slot 1. So I tried slot 2 which actually worked but after a short while it also had the no sim card issue.

I tried different sim cards which work properly in other devices but not in this phone. I also reset it to factory settings several times but no luck there.

Anyone any thoughts on this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djvinniev77:
just wanted to ensure that the SIM card is firmly in place and locked down, the slot should click back down when properly applied. I'm sure you've done it but just wanted to put it out there. Also, see if any other SIM aside from yours is detected in both slots. If no SIM card gets detected at all, it's a bad unit, send it back for replacement.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AispuroR:
Check the IMEI numbers, it happened to me that when I restored the phone they only put 1111111111 and 22222222, the sim was recognized but I never had a signal. Dial from the phone app * # 06 # to see your IMEI numbers, and check that they correspond with the ones that the cell phone brings in the back or in its box.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klamath:
IMEI can be change with this dial code

*#*#08#*#*
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hookwood:
Thx for the info guys but since I think I tried all the options but still no SIM detected so I think the best option is to send it back.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] aneshdas:
Dears,

On my op3, which is running with Experience OS and Blue spark Kernel, always the Whats app coming on top of the battery stats even though I opened it less time. It is showing that "Mobile Radio Active" is enabled for hours. I can not switch off the Data while the screen off because it may delay the notifications. I understood that the modem is not disconnecting from data even if the app become not in foreground stage. What ever the app I used for data restriction reduced the Deep sleep time since it were keeping alive in the back end to restrict the data service. Is there any solution to get rid the Mobile Radio Active bug.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Roykooiman:
No there isn't, it is a known thing since Android Lollipop.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] aneshdas:
OOOOPSSS!!!! i have cleared all other battery draining issues using various methods. But this is hectic.

Why google is not taking care about this since it is a serious bug? But I think not everyone facing this issue. Some of them are getting good battery backup without having mobile radio active issue.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
With Whatsapp this is expected. All of Facebooks apps are known to be terrible battery drainers. It is part of the reason that it never took off in the states. Also anything like that will always keep the radio active. It is the nature of the app. As long as you use it then you will get battery drain.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] aneshdas:
But it is a serious bug, isn't it Bro? I am worried why the google devs not showing much interest to resolve this battery killing issue.... I think there was an xposed module available in Lollipop or marshmallow to solve this problem. But nothing available in Nougat. feeling helpless bro :(
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
It's nothing Google can do. It is Facebook. The apps is badly coded just like their main app and messenger. As long as you rely on it for messaging (not sure why people do) then you will have to deal with it.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] aneshdas:
No bro, I don't think it is because of Facebook. I am not using facebook at all. But me too having the issue. I think it is clearly a mobile data modem issue. Mobile radio is not disconnecting even after android system closed the foreground app. Only android devs can resolve it.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
You miss the fact that whatsapp is a facebook app. Owned and written by facebook.

If mobile data disconnects then you would not get notified. Data is how that app works.

If you do some research you will find this to be true.

Again this is how messaging apps work. It doesnt seem like you have alot of experience in mobile OS programming.

My advice would be to use a different app like Telegram. This is what most of the world uses. As to whats app is mainly used in developing countries but not much outside of them.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Yes but if you look closely he is not using the device. And to be honest, I don't think it's real. I have never seen android display something when there is no usage like for the GPS in that screen shot.

I know it can last for days without using it as that is what happens to my device on the weekends. I unplug it sat morning and only use it when someone calls me and I don't have to plug it back in until Monday morning. Mind you that is really not using the phone much at all.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Bimatshu:
it has got no fix yet. May be this goes away in Oreo.

[Samsung Gear S3] ticalo:
So, I've had my S3 Classic for a month now and the battery has been great, 1-2 days with AoD and 3-4 days without.

Yesterday, I had to setup my work mail on the phone. To get the mail app (Samsung) to sync with the clock, I had to encrypt the clock. Having done that, my clock kept getting warm with heavy battery drain. My battery lasted 5h today and now it's completely dead.

Is it the encryption or the email app that's the problem? I've not installed nor made any other change before I setup the mail.

Hey all,

So I'm running root Magisk and you guys are all probably aware of this issue, I just can't find the solution online at the moment, most articles lead to just awareness of the issue but no solution.

Anyone know how I can start doing OTA updates on my Pixel with Magisk to get around the "Couldn't update -- Installation problem". Obviously it must be working if there are instructions for doing so.

Any help to fix this would be great.

Yikes, what a miss. So basically if I altered any of the system directory like reverting a user app to a system app I'm screwed?

edit: If that's the case, can I revert back to the magisk boot partition while not connected to adb, and just do a reflash of magisk and my phone will reboot properly?

If I just sideload the OTA would that work (I'd assume it would get rid of Magisk, but would it causes problems or bootloops etc)?

having anything other than pure stock will cause OTAs to fail. u can manually flash update images or sideload otas through ADB

Just something I'd like to share.

Like most of us here I've been playing around with various WM6 ROM flavours and Radio versions.

What I have found is that there seems to be a relationship of some sort between ROM versions and Radio versions. A relationship regarding stability, speed but also battery drainage. Certain Radio versions simply don't go well with certain ROM versions I have found.

At the moment I am running Schap's WM6 4.31 Lite WWE ROM. Superb ROM BTW.

The Radio version that I have found to be the most 'matching' is Radio 1.51.00.10. It's stable, battery life of this ROM/Radio combination is fantastic, HSDPA works great and it doesn't slow down my TyTN.

I've tried lower and higher Radio versions with Schap's 4.31, most were also stable but there were other issues, like incoming call issues, HSDPA access and speed, battery life not that good, Bluetooth connectivity issues, or the responsiveness of my TyTN decreased dramatically (the latest 1.54 Radio ROM).

Who else has the same experience?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] softonic123:
