This mod causes a bootloop, with the latest NCP rom

Maybe you can detail the mods included in the zip and folks can mimic your mods with L-speed manually
[Moto Z2 Force  Themes, Apps, and Mods] WeUseLord-:
The reason why is because you should have checked if your ROM was compatible (if a custom ROM is not stated it probably isn't a good idea to flash the file) just for future reference

On my Samsung S7 edge, I was updated to the new Google emoji, but for some reason on this brand new V30, I have Google's old goofy looking emoji. Is this across the board or do some of you guys have the updated emoji? And how would I go about updating this?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jsgraphicart:
I'm pretty sure LG needs to update them with an update since the emojis are part of the system. Samsung probably did that with an update already.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phen0m2016:
Hi,

I'm currently running Android Nougat Stock (4.28.401.3), with the Bootloader unlocked, but without TWRP or Magisk. My device is currently failing the SafetyNet Check due to Basic Integrity and CTS profile mismatch (Image attached).

I also get the error "Security checking fail GT_CONNECT_FAIL" when booting into Bootloader Mode (Image attached, Source).

I updated several months ago from Marshmallow to Nougat, via OTA. When I had Marshmallow, I had TWRP and Magisk installed, but didn't reinstall them afterwards.

Now I would like to try and fix this error. Would installing Magisk (using MagiskHide) fix this issue? Does the Bootloader need to be re-locked now in order to pass the SafetyNet Check?

Any help appreciated.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
I can only help you with safetynet since I haven't seen that Security checking fail GT_CONNECT_FAIL error before. For making sure everything is fine with the software of your phone I'd flash a RUU, nonetheless, if I were you. If the error gets caused by a hardware failure (e.g. the infamous nand death) then there's not much you can do for fixing it aside from sending it to HTC for a repair.

Safetynet fails as soons as you unlock the bootloader. You have two choices now. Either you re-lock the bootloader or you install magisk and activate magisk hide. If you choose the latter the bootloader can stay unlocked.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phen0m2016:
It looks like the Security checking fail GT_CONNECT_FAIL error is unrelated to the phone not passing the SafetyNet Check. Installing Magisk solved that problem (Though the Security checking fail GT_CONNECT_FAIL error still pops up).

Did the SafetyNet Check get updated or changed? My phone used to pass this check when on the Stock ROM.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
Google constantly updates safetynet since they try to make magisk hide useless (aka make apps that rely on safetynet more secure). It's a cat and mouse game.

An unlocked bootloader results in a safetynet fail for quite some time, now, even if you use the stock rom.

Use fastboot to test or boot this recovery.

No issues at this point on boost mobile after I rooted. Only issue I had was I made a backup in TWRP but had to put it on a sdcard since the phone stock doesn't have enough room to store it. The problem came with that the backup I made wasn't visible on the card when connecting to my PC unless I was in recovery mode. This may just be a TWRP issue but I don't know. Haven't tried xposed yet. Busy box wouldn't install.

Oh, yeah, the MediaTek variant.

I have a spare E4 Plus at hand, just took it out of the drawer. I was thinking of upgrading it to Pie via a custom ROM.

So, if I am not wrong, the following is I will need to do to flash a ROM:

1) Flash TWRP on my SD variant

2) Boot into TWRP. Go to Wipe > Format Data and then enter "yes" to wipe the /data partition

3) Flash Zackptg5's Universal DM-Verity, ForceEncrypt disabler

4) Flash the ROM + GApps + Magisk v20.0 for root

5) Reboot.

Is that correct?

[MENTION=4930841]ReimuHakurei[/MENTION], I left a PM, I hope you can understand what I mean :)

Can anyone confirm busybox works or doesn;t work? I am looking at buying the xt1775 variant, and rooting, but if busybox doesn't work, then sadly I'll have to wait. The only "REAL" and true reason I root to begin with is backup and restore fast with Titanium backup and it uses busybox to work correctly.

Using that app makes installing a rom and setup so fast, as apposed to going to the play store and re-downloading every single app all over again, not to mention that tb can backup some apps that can't be backed up on a normal circumstance.

I'm also curious, will this twrp recovery work on the 1775 variant?
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] shezzy83:
Are you sure you need busybox to back/restore? I use Titanium backup and have done it with out busybox being installed.
[Moto E4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] easyrider77:
Well from my last two phones I had it needed it.

I had issues of freezing tb app, not backing up correctly and sometimes not at all, and some other issues with my last couple phones, this one included so I did some research, because like you, I used tb without busybox as well.

I could not find anything real definitive either on tb site or on any threads or articles in a search, either now or when I searched before so this is from my own experience.

Note: I had been getting a message in tb that said something like "Busybox not installed. Titanium Backup may not work correctly without busybox installed. If you have problems, please install Busybox". I am not sure of the exact wording or phrase it usedin tb, but I always skipped installing and didn't have any issues for years using it until just lately with the 2 phones I had.

That given I decided to test on my phones and see if it was busybox or just a fluke I was having. So I decided wipe the phones and start again. So I wiped got setup, etc....and first thing I did was install a backup with tb. Both phone had the exact same affect, while using tb without busybox, I had issues, namely tb would go really slow or it would just lockup completely during the install of the apps in restore part of tb. I then went and wiped and setup the phone again, and this time I installed busybox and tb. This time I had zero issues, everything worked flawlessly, and this was on 2 different phones.

I am not sure if it was due to the app I had backed up with tb, if it was the rom I was using, or what exactly the issue was, and to this day I am still not really sure. I do know though that installing busybox along with tb seems to fix the issues I was having useing tb to restore my backups, so I do that by habit now and have since not had a single issue using tb or having issues with tb or roms and backups.

In a quick search of something along the lines of "does titanium backup need busybox" some of the threads suggested that busybox may not be needed for a few things, but may be needed to work correctly with some apps and system commands, as busybox lets everything work fully in the system. So this may vary for some and work for some without it, and some may need it. I'm guessing it depends on what apps, and/or how you backup stuff with tb, as to what issues may arise.
