In short. Download the app: ADB WiFi of MetaCtrl. The app shows your WiFi-ip-number.

Download the zip from link in previous post. Extract in a folder on the PC.

Edit the . bat file. Change the ip number and save.

Run the .bat file.

so i just ended up removing root and updating via ota, so im on september release now but without root. i downloaded latest twrp app and tried to patch the boot.img for sept but it just gives me an installation failed message at the end. does this only work if you already have root? or am i missing something?

**** rebooted, downloaded fresh copies of everything and it worked this time.

TWRP.

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bmg1001:
Now that official TWRP has been released for the device, I made some small changes to the root guide to account for updated things like decryption, the TWRP Installer zip, etc... I will probably keep making changes to the guide throughout the week. Seems like there is no longer a need to separate stock and custom ROM root guides.

Also, quick note. If you flash the TWRP Installer when you've already got Magisk installed, your device will keep booting to the recovery. I suggest flashing the stock boot image in TWRP, flashing the TWRP Installer, then reflashing your kernel and/or Magisk afterwards to fix this.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] jamiejames:
I couldn't get touch to work on September security patch. If it works for somebody else please let me know. Yes I flashed stock boot.img first. I had the patched boot image flashed previously. It says it was tested on August security patch.

I apologize if this isn't the appropriate place, it's kind of OT. I just go where the reliable information is and this is the place.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] RandomPooka:
Remember to switch your slot back to your original boot slot BEFORE running the TWRP installer LOL. I didn't do that, and I wound up only being able to boot into TWRP. Reflashing my boot.img backup now and starting over
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Ramocity:
Does anyone know if decryption is working with the official TWRP release?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Yup
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] RandomPooka:
Ok, I absolutely missed the part about Magisk breaking things. So, if I'm on EX rooted with Magisk ..

Switch boot partitions

Flash TWRP img

Switch back to original boot partition

?? Flash stock and then EX

?? Flash the TWRP Installer

?? Flash Magisk

Not sure what the proper procedure there should be, but this seems to be the closest thing to the stock kernel variant.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] JudasD:
i also had magisk installed. here were my steps to make it work:

My primary partition is A.

Fastboot. I switched to B and then installed the twrp img.

Rebooted into recovery.

now in recovery, switched to A, installed factory boot img (you would flash EX here), installed twrp installer.

rebooted back into recovery

now in recovery, installed magisk.

reboot to system.

Hope this helps.

What security patch are you on?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] JudasD:
i am on Oreo July.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] galakanokis:
Did you do anything differently? It is not working for me.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] RandomPooka:
Yeah, that did the trick. I rebooted between flashing EX and Magisk, but I bet it wasn't necessary for either of us. I only did it to see if it would boot properly.

Thanks for confirming the procedure and sharing your steps for those of us having issues.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] JudasD:
Good to hear, I'm happy this worked for you. It's exciting to have permanent TWRP again!

JD
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] RandomPooka:
Right? I want to boot into it for no good reason other than being able to.

The security fix is the most important part for me. Decrypting instead of disabling security
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] droidstyle:
Pretty easy to install. Coming from Stock 8.1 Oreo with Magisk…

-adb reboot bootloader

-fastboot flash boot stock boot.img

-reboot system

-adb reboot bootloader

-adb shell getprop ro.boot.slot to see what slot the system is on. Mine was on _b

-fastboot --set-active=_a opposite of what slot you are currently on

-fastboot flash boot twrp-3.2.3-0-mata.img

-fastboot reboot

-once in TWRP, select reboot and switch back to the original active slot. In my case it was _b

-perform a backup

-install the Twrp 3.2.3.0 installer.zip

-reboot system

-reboot back into TWRP recovery and flash magisk

-reboot system and profit

So nice to have a fully working recovery! This device is officially dialed.

On September PIE I got it working except when I reboot in recovery TWRP still need the OTG mouse

so witch boot loader should I use to got the touchwiz working in recovery?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] munchy_cool:
Just did a video on how to root.

instructions are different from OP, but will give a better understanding of ab slots.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PYBYDbapho
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aer0zer0:
I think the big problem is twrp still isn't updated to September blobs. The reason it all works is if you OTA to September, it does one side. Then you put twrp on the opposite side, which is still August, and touch works. Then make your modifications to the opposite slot (September) inside twrp.

The bts can be modified to do just one side, achieving the same effect really, as long as the side not flashed is still August, or something prior.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bmg1001:
TWRP touch works fine on the September Patch, at least for me, so long as you use the September boot image patched with the TWRP Installer rather than just the provided TWRP image.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] JudasD:
aer0zer0 and bmg1001 are 100% correct. I just verified their tips work.

I have PIE in slot A and Oreo in Slot B. Installed TWRP to B. rebooted into recovery. touch works just fine. now run the TWRP installer, switch back to A and reboot. perfect!

JD
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] MoistPicklez:
I just tried to get into TWRP on the September build to patch the boot.img, but no touch. :/ Fudge.

Edit: Up an running thanks to the tips above.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] techlogik:
You guys need to head over to the new TWRP thread on how to get September using OTA, and TWRP working perm across reboots, and touch working..as well as Kernel/Root after those steps.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] JudasD:
is there a way to make a backup of the image after it has been patched by TWRP installer? i did see it available to download on XDA, but i wanted to be able to do it myself for future use.

Thanks,

JD
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bmg1001:
Yeah, you can dump the image using the instructions from the second post.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] JudasD:
Thank you for pointing that out. i didnt notice the hidden content for that topic in the OP.

JD
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] droidian5:
Success! Today I followed the OP and successfully installed TWRP 3.2.3-0 and Magisk 17.1 while on Sept OTA (which I had sideloaded last night)! The only thing is I had to reboot to recovery and install Magisk twice to get it to install Magisk Manager, not sure if I had root prior to that or not. Probably could have installed Magisk Manager APK after initial flashing of Magisk and had root.

Anyway I got root and TWRP now! Thanks devs for all you do!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
Which thread is this boot image? I can't seem to locate it. Kept getting TWRP for other devices.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bmg1001:
The TWRP for September? I meant that one could patch the September boot image with the TWRP Installer and have touch working, not that someone had provided the image. If you want a prepatched September boot image with TWRP though, it is in the OP under "Notes."
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] lynnux:
Thanks for pointing out the prepatched boot image with TWRP in the OP. Somehow I missed that, and wasn't having any success trying the other methods (both slots are on Sep OTA, and I could never get touch working on TWRP).

For those not able to get touch working in TWRP because you're on Sep build, follow OP instructions using the prepatched boot image under Notes, in #3.

First time I tried it I forgot to remove fingerprint and pattern, and twrp wanted me to use my pattern to unlock, which didn't work. I rebooted to system, removed fingerprint and changed pattern to PIN, and I was able to enter my PIN in twrp to get in.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] NLBeev:
Nice. Flashed this with EX-Kernel manager to the current slot. Reboot and no more root, but booting to recovery (start + vol up) works including touch.

EDIT

The prepatched twrp-sept-boot.img also patched with Magisk 17.1.

This double patched boot.img flashed (restored) with EX-manager.

Now I've root and twrp recovery on the current slot.

BTW

The twrp-keyboard needs a slow input for pin/password.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
Thanks I missed that under notes. thanks for pointing it out
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] lynnux:
Only issue I'm having is that sometimes when I reboot to system from TWRP, it gets stuck either at the boot screen (two circles with "Powered by Android" at the bottom) or at the boot animation (little dots swirling around). It freezes there until I hold power+volume down and go to bootloader, and then reboot from there. I think it happens only when I don't remove fingerprint security before going to TWRP, but I haven't done it enough times to be sure.

I'm posting this in case anyone else gets stuck rebooting from TWRP. Try power+volume down to get to bootloader, then reboot.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] NLBeev:
Booted twrp by keeping start pressed and vol up a few short presses.

To reboot in recovery use the simple reboot app of Franco (root).
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] sash11:
Official TWRP app has reboot to recovery option as well.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] xDark_:
Not sure if this belongs here, but does anybody have an issue of touch completely breaking when switching to the A slot? As in touch in TWRP doesn't work, touch in the OS doesn't work either. Happened after I tried flashing the "red verity screen removal" from https://mata.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ and it would just bootloop. Then it broke WiFi so I did a factory reset and reflash of TWRP and now I get the above. Even after flashing the stock Sep/TWRP-Sep boot image in the OP, nada. Switching back to my B partition (which was my original one) and touch in OS/TWRP works perfectly fine though.

Any way I can "wipe" the A partition or something, make it go back to a clean slate? This A/B stuff is such a headache, but I'm glad it's persistent and can decrypt properly now.

'Double' patched boot.img of September

When you have the september update on the active slot, you could try to one of the 'double' patched boot.imgs that work on my Essential. Includes twrp and root.

So I would flash this to my A slot that’s currently broken, right?

Yes with fastboot.

In this thread of [MENTION=5447216]aer0zer0[/MENTION] you'll find Back-to-stock zips. Use the official fastboot images of September.

Extract the zips and flash your both slots to stock September.

When that's working. Flash a patched boot.img of September; that should work. It does on my PH1 with the same configuration.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
I'm not sure why everyone thinks you need to flash both. I have 8.1 on slot A and 9.0 on slot B. I modified the batch files for each install and rooted both. So it's easy to dual boot just by changing active slot

Dave
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] NLBeev:
It's not necessary. But in case of issues it's useful to have both Slots synchronized.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] rignfool:
Heheheh...

I dare you to switch slots... No... Double Dare you!

I bet you bootloop

Edit: you really can't dual boot because of data mismatches... Since we have a common data and different systems... Especially across Android versions... And even worse... Modified frameworks...
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] RandomPooka:
You beat me to it ... May not bootloop, but there's bound to be issues with the different frameworks and settings. Navbar alone is radically different between the two.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Accessories] arghhhh1:
Just got this case last night and wanted to share some thoughts. Firstly this case feels premium as you would expect, good quality materials. It covers the front and back but not the edges so for those perfectionists it might not be suitable.

or those that don't know the case just sticks to the tab using magnets, there is no clipping it in, so far I have not had any problems with this but it offers one HUGE advantage in my opinion that I have never had before. When I am lying down and want to hold the tab to read or watch something, pulling the case off to hold the tab and reduce weight is very easy, this is a fantastic design feature (if intentional) as almost all cases add significant weight when holding in your hands vs. standing on a table. To pop the case back on is as easy as removing it.

The two viewing angles it provides are so far fine for me, no isuses. The only improvement I would hope for is the ability to stand the tab vertically but not many cases do this. In all, very pleased with this case.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Accessories] lartomar2002:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Accessories] papampi:
Beware your pen won't write on some parts of screen with Samsung magnet book cover case.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Accessories] lartomar2002:
Is there a case that has a pen holder that does not have magnets and not weigh a ton?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Accessories] Orbital_Logic:
Ive read mixed comments on this phenomenon in relation to the samsung book cover...is the effect temporary or permanent? Is it only when you fold the front cover to the back of the tablet?

Im ordering a tab s3 within the next week or so, (Its essential for a creative project im working on, so no other tablet will suffice, and the galaxy book or tab pro s is prohibitively expensive for a simple experiment, but im specifically using it for art, so the interference is unacceptable)..would i be better off getting a protective case and a screen protector?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Accessories] jsalatas:

May be I give it a shot for repair too :good:

wow, yeah not auto-wake cover related.

Anybody? Does the oem book cover magnets interfere with the s-pen digitizer in ANY way?
