I don't have a solution to your problem so don't even ask for a perfect one. WM6.1 had just recently been released here in xda-dev and your asking this early for a better solution? Isn't this the same case when we all have the first taste of WM6? everyone goes gaga asking for a perfect ROM wherein they should be thankful enough for the ones who had given new life to our devices. Fixing bugs one at a time, developing and still researching how to make the ROM's clean.

just my 2 cents mate hehehe

Else get an SE! im eyeing on the X1 XPERIA right now hehehe. How bout you? what do you think your next device would be???

Lets not get lost in the real issue... 1st of all we must thank xda-developers for giving a new life to our ATOMs... my only concern was can we have more versions of wm6 or 6.1 for ATOM Exec. ... ROM from GARMIN or nhocbanme would be welcomed.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] brian_2cool4u:
Be patient mate :) if you want you can learn how to cook as well, im trying to do it right now hehehehe. Hopefully one of these days I can create my own ROM.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] anirbannath:
Okay, so I rooted my Mi A1 with the help of Dhananjay Bhosale's video uploaded today.

Everything worked fine until I discovered that I couldn't install OTA updates. Pretty common thing for rooted devices (although somewhat disappointing). But the weird thing is, I was on the September security patch while installing this update but then when I booted into the system after everything was done and dusted, a notification showed that the system was finishing up with installing the August update and that the September update was still to be downloaded and installed. So I did that but the system failed to install it.

Then I checked XDA and Dhananjay, in his XDA account, has suggested that OTA updates could be installed by switching partitions (new thing in Android N). So I did that, redownloaded the September patch and everything installed just fine but then I realized that there were no root privileges in this particular partition. After some effort, I somehow re-entered recovery and switched back to the other partition, hoping that the update would stick. But it didn't. As soon as I rebooted back into system, there was that notification again (finishing up the August update and telling me to download the September patch).

So basically, I am back to square one.

Anyone knows how to break out of this vicious circle?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sunshinebhushan:
Similar with me, I have Sep build in slot A and Aug build in slot B. I'm not able to install the Oct build.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Ranjithksr:
mine also any sol to fix this?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sooti:
Steps to fix any root mess-up that might happened and/or corrupt system from tampering with files.

1. Follow this guide, you can start from the flashing part

2. Download the mi flash app + a1 fastboot stock rom

3. Flash using the guide, make sure you select 'save user data'! or you will lose all your data!!

4. Once the flashing is complete you will reboot into the august patch, go to updates and install all the updates as usual

5. Root/Flash recovery using your favorite method.

I played around the system partition too much and had some issues with play services, also I couldn't update to october patch, after doing the above, everything works great. just use this guide anytime you want a clean slate.

Also always backup everything on twrp, always a useful thing to do.

Good luck
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Ex-Hunter:
I didn't have any such problem. This is what I did: I was on Sep patch on 'b' rooted with magisk --> installed Oct ota update --> rebooted --> rebooted to twrp, flashed magisk 13.4. and rebooted to system --> everything works.

BTW how did you get root; CF-auto root or Magisk?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sunshinebhushan:
I used AIO tool with patched boot.img then flashfire for SuperSu.

For me, the oct update is not getting installed at the first place
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Ex-Hunter:
The AIO tool uses CF root. Normally you FlashFire would be able to capture the OTA update and flash it but some have reported that it's not happening for our device. IMO you can do one of the two things.

You can do what [MENTION=4460995]sooti[/MENTION] suggested till step 4 and then root using Magisk and TWRP. Refer here.

Or

You can find which partition has sep update installed; reboot to it and unroot SuperSU; flash stock sep boot.img and install oct OTA update. After that follow this to get root.

BTW you don't need to flash TWRP; just boot to it and flash Magisk to get root.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] anirbannath:
Hi. As I mentioned, I am not even on the September patch. I used to be but then I rooted it today (installed Magisk) and suddenly I'm back to the August patch. September patch only installs in 'a', which is not rooted. That doesn't really serve my purpose.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] anirbannath:
Hi. There seems to be a problem with what you suggest. The video I followed does almost the same thing. I even have TWRP, along with Magisk of course. The problem is, when I boot to 'a' (the partition that successfully installs the September update), I find that it isn't rooted. Magisk is inactive. And root checker says that root isn't properly installed. So obviously, the question of unrooting is rendered moot.

I want to be able to install the OTA update in my rooted partition and make it stick. People have installed OTA updates to rooted ROMs (mostly using FlashFire), but Flash Fire is giving me an unusual error, something about being unable to install OTA even though it has detected it due to being unable to find some files in boot/recovery folder or something like that.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Ex-Hunter:
[MENTION=8650116]anirbannath[/MENTION]

Just to be clear, when you reboot to system which partition and which patch are you in?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] anirbannath:
[MENTION=5423857]Ex-Hunter[/MENTION]

I think I should update a little bit : I tried rooting both the partitions and what I saw was that I am on September patch on both of them now. However, the problem still persists albeit in a slightly different manner. Currently I am on partition 'a' because the WiFi is having some weird problems in partition 'b'. So now I have the update notification for the October security patch but after downloading, the system gets stuck on Step 1 of 2 of installing the update. I guess, side-effect of rooting. But this isn't the issue.

I found out that the real problem is the FlashFire app. Since I have downloaded the October patch and rooted both partitions, I had hoped that FlashFire would work now, but that same error persists (which is something like Update Engine binaries could not be found, so update cannot be handled - I have asked a separate question about that, if you would be so kind as to go to my profile and check it out).
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Bhagyesh19:
I got bootloop when installing october security patch......

I have unlocked bootloader and also rooted my phone using CF-auto-root but when try to install october security update after reboot my phone got bootloop.....

So, what do i do now ?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Ex-Hunter:
Thanks for clarifying. It is interesting that you are on Sep patch on both the partitions. IMO the sure shot way of solving your problem would be to go back to stock and root using Magisk.

Follow the "Flashing Guide for Fastboot Update"guide. Download the Sep fastboot rom for Step 2; Select 'clean all' for Step 5 but do note that it will wipe all user data. Now you will be on stock sep rom on slot a. You'll get OTA notification for the Oct patch, go ahead and install. After rebooting you will be on stock oct rom on slot b.

After finishing, download TWRP and Magisk from here or you can download this package, I have included recovery and Magisk. Copy Magisk-v13.4.zip to your device.

Go to fastboot mode and verify that you're unlocked and all drivers are installed.

While in fastboot type

fastboot getvar all

You can see which slot is active.

I suggest you NOT to flash TWRP but boot to it instead.

To do so type

fastboot boot recovery.img

In a few secs you should be in TWRP. If you're not booting into TWRP disconnect the device and switch off; Press vol down button and connect the USB. You should now be in fastboot mode. Try typing the cmd again and it should work.

Flash Magisk-v13.4.zip via TWRP.

Reboot to system

Download the latest Magisk Manager and install. DO NOT update Magisk.

Download and install as usual when the next OTA update arrives. You will lose the root when you reboot. But no worries, just reflash Magisk-v13.4.zip via TWRP and you will be good to go.

P.S. @ topjohnwu is working to get official magisk on our device. When that arrives you will be able to patch Magisk to the OTA update without going to TWRP.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sunshinebhushan:
I followed the steps you mentioned, all went well thanks for that. But couldn't edit build.prop with this root method tried with ES explorer (previously with CF root it was successful)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Ex-Hunter:
Go to Magisk Manager>Menu>Superuser; Check if the switch is ON for ES explorer.

You can also try Amaze file manager. Its completely FOSS. Go to Amaze>menu>Settings>Root Explorer and switch ON.

Edit: BTW you're not editing build.prop directly,are you? You can't do that for systemless root.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sunshinebhushan:
I am trying to edit directly, what is the other way to edit?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Ex-Hunter:
You've to use resetprop tool for that. You can modify an existing module or put a script at /magisk/.core/service.d (I think.... haven't done that in a long while). You can ask magisk related queries here (unofficial magisk 13.4) or here (official)

Hi there,

Is there a workaround or a root function to enable Always On listening for 'OK Google' while the screen is off/AOD?

It is really bugging me but I cannot see a workaround already posted.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dancooper93:
Can Tasker achieve something like this? I have only returned to Android after a 3 years break, any advice is much appreciated! :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] srdjanLeo:
OMG. Just set up Google Assistant and enable Voice unlock. Just explore your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dancooper93:
I have that setting enabled. It works on the lock screen where you can swipe to unlock, but not on the darker lock screen, where it shows the time and the outline of your notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dancooper93:
I have enabled them options. It works on the light lockscreen, where you can scroll your notifications and have the 2 icons in the bottom corners.

It does not work on the darker lock screen, or the Always On Display screen, where it only shows the time and the outline of notifications you have.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] srdjanLeo:
Works here as it should. With AOD and without. Are you rooted? If you are try other ROM. If you are not, try reflashing stock firmware with Odin or with Side Sync or whatever Samsung kies is now called. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dancooper93:
I am not rooted. I heard if you root you can only charge your battery to 0%?

Okay, I will have a look into reflashing if that'll fix it.

Are you rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MilgeS:
Same for me Dan, works after you swipe but not from AOD, every tutorial I have seen says the same, has to be "open" before it will work.

Bixby will unlock from the AOD screen if you set that up, hope that helps :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dancooper93:
What do you mean 'open'?

I have Bixby set up, which I just use to open Google now, not ideal, but it is a workaround nonetheless!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] srdjanLeo:
I am rooted. With custom ROM, NOTE 8 Port.

Charging works as it should, OK Google trigger works as well. I really don't have any problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] artikle:
It works for you because you are using a Note 8 ported ROM. Because Samsung enabled this feature on the Note 8. It will not currently work on the stock S8 ROM. Some people seem to be in a server side test to enable this feature though.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dancooper93:
Okay, I see.

Does charging not stop at 80% for you because you are rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] srdjanLeo:
It was working for me on Bat Stock ROM and it is S8 ROM. I never used stock ROM so I can't say anything about that, I rooted my device and flashed custom ROM before even setting it up after unboxing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dancooper93:
I forgot to quote you, sorry.

Question:

Does charging not stop at 80% for you because you are rooted?[
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] srdjanLeo:
It stops. But there is a workaround if you have Snapdragon version. Mine is Exynos so it is as Samsung set it up.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] dancooper93:
I am now rooted :)

What Note 8 ROM did you use?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MilgeS:
I meant "open" as in on lock screen re your above post, the screen after AOD, sorry for any confusion
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] jimmygarison:
Same here works after you swipe but not from AOD, every time tutorial I have seen says the same has to be "open" before it will work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] scatterthought:
It's best to think of the always-on display as "Screen Off", which is why OK Google doesn't work on stock ROM. That's standard Android procedure to avoid draining the battery by always listening for voice commands.

At one point, Google Assistant was able to listen when the screen was off, so long as the phone was being charged. Unfortunately, that feature disappeared at some point in the past half year or so (which caused me some confusion when it stopped working and I could no longer find the toggle).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
That's not true. It still works on a Google Pixel running stock Android with the screen off and not charging. You never had to have it plugged in or charging for that to work. Samsung is the ONLY Android phone I know of that OK Google doesn't work with the screen off.

Source: I've owned the Nexus 6, Nexus 5x, the Nexus 6P, the Pixel XL, a number of Galaxy phones, and a few Motorola's and a couple LGs.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] skiddingus:
Not being able to use the "OK Google" to wake the phone is my #1 biggest annoyance with this phone. I have searched for a workaround but can't find one. Once the AOD screen is on, the "OK Google" is dead. Only Bixby will work at that point. I guess this is Samsung's way of trying to persuade you to use Bixby. Well played Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] scatterthought:
Interesting. Everything I've read has been that it doesn't work with the screen off, but that's mostly threads with people asking how to get it working. I recall reading an article that referenced the change, but I can't find it now so I'll retract my statement.

However, I can definitely say that the following options used to be available in the Google App, and then disappeared after an update:

From any screen: You can say "Ok Google" from any screen on your device if the screen is on or the device is charging. This isn't available in all languages.

Always-on: You can say "Ok Google" whether your screen is on or off.

When that happened, my HTC One A9 running Nougat stopped listening for OK Google when the screen was off. So, I didn't expect it to reappear when I got my S8.

Thanks for the correction!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] alirz:
Ive had nexus 6p and the pixel over the last two years. For both, the ok google command works all the time, from any screen and any state. Plugged in or not, locked or unlocked. Wish Samsung would allow that too.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MilgeS:
I just had a thought of a workaround

"Hi Bixby"...........wait for 10 seconds for Bixby to go off, then "Ok Google" and you're in :)

Hi guys, this is a difficult one.

I have a buddy who really shouldnt be playing around with his phone. He has a samsung galaxy S8 on EE. He decided to root it because he wanted to recover some deleted files from it. Obviously its voided the warranty.

The trouble is a few weeks after he rooted it its now showing no service. Just to make matters difficult hes now played around trying to fix it. It is no longer rooted and it has the samsung official firmware on it. Theres no files on the internal storage to give clues to what he actually did and to make matters worse he has no idea what he actually did to root it. He seems very unclear on what he did or why he needed to root it.. Not a good start.

I have put a sim in it and it does ask what network the sim is on but says no service.

The trouble here is I am not sure where is best to start and I want to review my options before fiddling too much.

So far

I have flashed the stock firmware from Sam knows.

Also factory reset before and after.

Checked Knox status. Showing warranty void.

Currently not rooted and was not when I first got it

IMEI number is still present.

Tried multiple sim cards. 2 on EE and one on giffgaff

Phone storage is blank as if phone is new.

Phones owner mentioned twrp but bootloader is currently stock
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] DANIELWHITT:
Have you checked to see if the phone still has an imei number. He may have messed that up. If he has. Unless he's backed up his efs partition, ( think that's what it's called ) then he may have an expensive small tablet Instead of a phone...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bigmonmulgrew:
Yes it still has an IMEI

Are you sure, the IMEI displayed is correct? Because it sounds like an IMEI brick, my old Galaxy S3 had the same issue.

It's IMEI became a generic one, that didn't match the original one on the box.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bigmonmulgrew:
Ok I'll check with the owner. See if he still has the box. Is there anywhere else I could find the IMEI if he has thrown the box
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] abclpz:
You can try checking the bill of his S8. I bought my S8 on contract in a local retail store and got a bill, that included the IMEI.

EDIT: I just checked, the IMEI can also be found imprinted on the rear glass on the bottom.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sofir786:
You can check the status of an imei number online, there's a few websites that do it, it will tell you if it's been blacklisted or not.

I'm from the UK and I didn't pay my bill for 3 months once and they never blocked my phone, just deactivated my aim service until I eventually paid. So there's something dodgy going on tbh, how did this person purchase this phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bigmonmulgrew:
I have just checked it on imeipro.info.

It is showing as clean and the IMEI number is correct.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sofir786:
I actually have no idea what else to suggest, if you've factory reset it, flashed firmware via odin and checked imei and all is okay then I'm unsure what else you can try. Usually issues with service is down to efs which leaves you win a corrupt imei but this is all okay for you. Can you ding out what software build was flashed? The build number.
