So my wifi didn't work with ex 3.17 I assume due to sure kind of version mismatch. If everything is working in stock with newest update then I should be able to flash magisk and have it to it right? I can't get magisk to work in even 3.15 now... Maybe I did just try to find b these flash able otas and flash that first then twrp then magisk right? Able know where twrp ota zips are? I've will continue to try b to find them but every says fastboot that I can find...
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] NLBeev:
Some reported issues when using older versions of adb/fastboot.

When you're sure TWRP is installed you may download the latest OTA from the essential site directly on the ph-1 and flash the OTA zip file etc....

Then fastboot is not needed.

Even after a reboot it is possible to start TWRP and flash Magisk or the combined patched boot image.

So yes, flash OTA and directly TWRP again etc..
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] xe500linux:
Worked flawlessly on a stock ROM, thanks. But should I flash TWRP (without Magisk) to the inactive slot as well?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] NLBeev:
Only when you want to switch slots.

I've always a copy of the latest TWRP zip on my PH-1.

I use this TWRP-zip directly after flashing the monthly OTA (before reboot and still in TWRP)

Than TWRP is installed to both slots.

wifi not working

I just rooted and was successful but I cannot get Wi-Fi to turn on. I believe I flashed the wrong image file because in my phone settings it shows my kernel version is from March, I was originally on April version.

Can someone help me walkthrough how to fix this situation?

I have looked at many other posts, but they are just unclear which route i need to go.

Thanks,

Mike
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] eKeith:
Your simplest solution is to reflash the Back-to-Stock no-wipe dump and re-root.

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] NLBeev:
Before flashing back to stock, you could try to flash a patched boot image of April like below https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397933013
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mjc8870:
I got it working. I forgot to mount to other partition and flash magisk there.

Thanks for help!!!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mwahahaa:
Any reason why I would have a messed up UI (no notifications able to show, no developer options, no use of home button) after upgrading to Pie and trying to root? First I flashed Oreo September BTS, took Pie OTA (everything working fine to this point), then tried to flash patched twrp/magisk 9 boot image (without success, stuck on loading animation). To remedy I flashed the stock boot image, and although the OS loaded it is not working properly. Phone functions basically (with above limitations) and twrp recovery also works, but I can't boot if I try to flash magisk. I really don't want to do a factory reset as I have 30GB of photos/videos to pull to my PC. What possible remnant could cause the UI to not be working normally after I successfully took the Pie OTA?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bmg1001:
Could be an issue with bad or corrupted system app data, though not too sure. I'd suggest installing a clean boot image with TWRP (no Magisk) and using the factory reset option from TWRP which should keep /sdcard intact (I assume your photos and videos are there of course.) If that still doesn't work, then repeat those steps and also flash the BTS for the Pie build you want, making sure to use the no-wipe script. All of this means that you will have to set up your device again unfortunately.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mwahahaa:
Thanks for the suggestions. Are you saying that if I do a factory reset through TWRP as things stand now, my sdcard will be wiped? Also, would flashing Gapps potentially fix a system apps issue?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bmg1001:
Not sure about the gapps, but the factory reset in TWRP should not touch your files in /sdcard.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] RandomPooka:
Just do an advanced wipe and be sure that the sdcard isn't selected. Might be called Internal Storage. Can't remember.

ex 3.19 was released today
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
April 5 but in About phone Android version, Kernel is April 13th

Not sure what gives

Finally found where the problem came from :

I had ARCore MAgisk module installed which somehow reports the version as April 5 security update. I disabled that module and now it's showing as May 5th. Really odd that a Magisk module actually changed the version of Android update

Here's the NMJ32F boot image with magisk v14.5 for anyone who wants it: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dUFIZq5dkT75p1NZ-mPGuiEzP6rahEGH .
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] socali:
I noticed a bug in that version that causes magisk to get stuck in a loop that consumes all 8 CPUs which gets the phone hot, draining the battery quickly and slows down charge.

I reported this on the magisk thread and found reports for some other issues. For now, I suggest you stay with v14.3.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] IH8TouchWiz:
I noticed it too after I pulled a log. And here I was thinking that the governor on RR was acting up.... Back to RR with v14.3 I go.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] avd:
How do you roll back. Can you just flash 14.3 over 14.5…?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] socali:
I think it'll be safer to reflash a clean boot and then magisk 14.3.

What ROM are you using?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] nomadism:
Not 100% sure but I once was told that this message appears when you have outdated ADB files. Hope this helps!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] avd:
I flashed the uninstaller rebooted then flashed 4.3. CPU usage has calmed down a bit. Let's see if 4.5 is the cause of all the instability I observed recently.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] avd:
I can't thank you enough. This is why my phone turned into a lemon. 14.3 working much better.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] kirschdog1:
Ok so I have magisk up and running on oreo version 14.3 but I can not get twrp.img to boot. When I am in fastboot mode it says it sent but never boots to twrp just stays in fastboot mode? Any ideas how to get twrp working on oreo?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mrcooter:
Once it's sent, use volume and Power buttons to select recovery from the bootloader. As far as I know, touch does not work for Oreo in TWRP so make sure to follow the old method in the OP.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] kirschdog1:
Any idea how to get adb to recognize device. I'm getting ? When looking for adb devices after flashing magisk on oreo. Trying to get safety net working on oreo beta currently magisk modules not working nor is safety net. How do i get adb working so I can get back to oreo clean and reinstall magisk in order to get safety net passing?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] sash11:
After you send a command to flash twrp, say

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Give this command to boot into it

fastboot boot recovery twrp.img

Device should boot into the recovery you just flashed.

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Hung0702:
For anyone who's experienced an odd issue where the phone hangs at the boot animation, consider my experience.

My phone was occasionally hanging at the boot animation. I tend to reboot after a dozen or more apps are updated, just to keep things running smoothly. It's happened twice now that my phone hung. I have no idea what causes it, since I'm running NMJ32F with only a few very stable xposed modules + magisk. I looked through the magisk thread and someone mentioned that any changes to /system will cause the phone to fail boot.

Today, I saw one update and it was for Google Phone. Idr if it's the stock phone app or not, but it's a system app. I tend to always reboot after updating Google apps because they always cause problems due to their deep system integration. My phone hung at the boot animation again. I had to flash the factory image over (doesn't wipe if you're already on NMJ32F and just flash it in fastboot) then re-flash magisk and use the xposed-topjohnwu app to install xposed. It's possible that you could just uninstall magisk and get it to boot, but that's not the route I took.

There's a magisk module that lets you convert the Phone into a systemless app (i.e. user app). I used Titanium Backup to convert it, which I'm hoping does the same thing.

Anyway, if you're using magisk + xposed and see an update for the Google Phone app, don't install it. Go get the magisk module, or use Titanium Backup to convert the app to systemless, THEN update and reboot. I'm not willing to downgrade Phone and let it update again. Too much trouble to reflash everything.

Hope this helps anyone who's had this problem.

EDIT 2: it happened again when I was out-and-about after updating some apps. I didn't realize one-or-more of them was a system app.

I just flashed the magisk installer again (v14.5) and it booted up no problem.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] xterminater07:
I successfully got twrp to boot up but it's asking me for the password, I put in my password that I used when I unlock the phone but it kept saying error.

Nvm.. got it to work. The screen was slightly off, making all digits off. How do I verify if I am rooted? A root check software said I am not rooted. Magisk loaded in twrp fine, started installing and finished then I get cannot mount /system at the end. How do I fix this? I am on the latest 32F nougat using the new method.

You happen to know if the route in the OP works on the Q beta 3?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] NLBeev:
I didn't try it yet.

I've Q beta3 working in slot A, but without root.

After switching to Pie in slot B, I got a boot issue. Reboot always ends with TWRP. I had to restore all partitions to get Pie booting again.

As soon as I have both Pie and Q beta3 running, I'll report here
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] NLBeev:
A patched 4.4.179 Q-boot image with only Magisk 19.2 worked on Q beta3.

WiFi couldn't switched on.

When TWRP is patched too, the ph-1 gets boot issues.

A reboot ends in TWRP.

Probably Q beta3 does something with the data partition. After switching to the slot with Pie, the data partition needed to be restored. Otherwise a reboot ends in TWRP.

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] NLBeev:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397963832

This is the 4.4.179 q beta3 boot.img patched with Magisk 19.2

It worked on my PH-1 but with issues, because I did not wipe the data partition (factory reset)

When rooted Wifi could not be swithed to on.

Without root the Wifi is working as normal.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] NLBeev:
Below two patched boot images that I used when trying Android Q beta 3 for the PH-1.

First trials were not quite succesfull; see previous posts.

Issues with the data partition were solved by uninstalling theming apps that needed root access.

(Swift overlay installer). Another issue was about Wifi. I could not switch Wifi to ON .

Combined boot image with the canary version of the EX kernel 4.00

4.4.179-qb3-ex400-twrp-m192.img

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397964341

The OTA stock boot.image combined with twrp and Magisk 19.2

4.4.179-qb3-stock-twrp-m192.img

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397964387

Both patched boot images works on my PH-1, but after flashing the Dalvik cache needs to be cleared.

The first boot may take some more time. Wifi worked, but after several reboots.

Before trying this a full backup in TWRP is strongly advised.

Especially the data partition, unless you do a clean flash (factory reset)

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] NLBeev:
It's possible root is messed up because of a previous version

When root is there and not working properly, there's a solution by flashing

Magisk zip again in TWRP.

You could try the latest canary build

You can't use SuperSu with Magisk. Make sure you ran the Magisk app at least once after installing the patched files, it has to finalize the root.

I have a question about flashing.

I have a spare Ph1 I use for testing (has a wonky C port), and I think I just bricked it (sigh).

I was re-flashing a factory rom (from Essential, I've done it many, many times now), and while it was flashing the usb cable got pulled out (remember it's a wonky port?). Sigh. Plugged it back in but the flash process just hung.

So...I tried restarting FlashAll.bat, but it just hangs. Phone is still in fastboot though. I'll keep it on a charger so it doesn't die. Afraid I may not be able to get back to fastboot.

Any thoughts about how to proceed?

If there's a better place to post this, let me know.

hi guys, quick question:

want to move back from lineageOS to stock rom and maybe test android Q. currently doing the prepartion work. i want to keep my root (no twrp needed).

if I replace the stockboot.img with the patched version (move the stock file out, rename to patched version to stock and copy into the folder) BEFORE I do the flashallwipe.sh action, will the process finish correctly?

i want to simply save the step to flash another boot.img after installing stock. if its too risky, i will do it of course :D but anybody any experience with that?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Jz5678910:
In theory it should work, but if I was you, I'd say be safe than sorry. Especially if you're going to use Q beta, you should probably make it through setup first cause quite a few people on Reddit were reporting errors installing beta 5 (though this could have been OTA issues).
