No apologies, you are only very kind. May be he is right, may be not...even if I'm not a developer, testing the abilities of unofficial twrp at my own risk may help developers I think...anyway elsewhere in the unofficial twrp threads (see pixel 2 xl) there are a lot of question regarding magic flash. So if I may put this question...are you sure that flashing with twrp magisk_14_5.zip doesn't work and the only possibility is to patch the bot ing?
[HTC U11+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] nkk71:
I'm not saying you shouldn't post here when you have relevant information regarding the current TWRP version, and feel free to post all over the place if you wish, but may I invite you to read:

Device Forum Rules (Please Read before posting)

I think the different forums are clearly explained in there.

As to why I asked to get back on topic is rather simple: You probably have noticed that the current TWRP build breaks your decryption key for the booted ROM.

Obviously this is a major problem, and something that is not easy to debug. So this thread is an ongoing work in progress, and as such should stay on topic.

Furthermore, I do not have this device, and doing *blind builds* is not something I nor the many of the other developers would usually do, but I am trying to help a bit, and I appreciate all the logs and relevant information people are posting.

However, I also have limited time, just like every other person, and having to read 3 or 4 pages of what I consider irrelevant information to the problem at hand, is a waste of time for me.
[HTC U11+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] lukemo:
Understood, and I thank you a lot for your effort. I'll try by myself about magisk installation without bothering this thread with non-developer's questions. Let's hope in the future to see here the main (and more open minded) HTC developers
[HTC U11+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] nkk71:
Seriously?

I really don't understand your problem, what's so difficult of looking in the General or Q&A forum on "How to root your device", and if there is no such thread you can create one.

You can even get people's attention by using mentions.

I never said anything about doing it by yourself :rolleyes:

And thanks to your "compliment", I won't bother you folks anymore (so feel free to continue here), I have better things to do than waste my time with this.
[HTC U11+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] lukemo:
Me too...I am a 55 years old university professor and marketing consultant with the hobby of technology. Really I would like to close this discussion too and I really thank you for your effort. But please give me only the possibility to say that I'm almost sure that you're right but also that in other twrp threads the developers behaviour and friendliness is different. Dot and sorry again.

EDIT: anyway in the Q&A section of a so young device the probability to find somebody to exchange experiences and suggestions is asymptotic to 0.

Hi,

You could buy [MENTION=2605798]nkk71[/MENTION] and/or [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] this device and maybe they'd have a better chance to help. I've read that it's tough to test when you don't have a device.

[MENTION=2605798]nkk71[/MENTION] not sure how this happened. I am on your test TWRP and followed your instructions to the t and have everything working perfect. I helped out the clean slate kernel thread yesterday and got an awesome kernel working. I remember after flashing yesterday the last kernel build I entered my pin on boot. So today I didn't reboot and I installed short cutter app by leedroid. I enable wifi calling and power menu and reboot menu tiles. I then tried the reboot menu tiles (apm) it didn't show. So I cleared everything and tried again. The apm should up this time and I selected reboot to recovery which worked just fine and booted to recovery. I did the usual in TWRP hit cancel and then hit keep read only and the. Rebooted to system. As I was waiting to enter in my pin to decrypt... It never showed. Then I rebooted from the short cutter tile again. Regular reboot this time and still didn't have to enter a pin and then I rebooted from the HTC stock apm and didn't ask for pin on boot.
[HTC U11+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
That happened to me too a few times especially when I used a lot of adb reboot recovery, the file describing the need to enter pin changed or so. Didn't care much, but this got me a twrp too that decrypts data without code. All this on u11

I'm not sure what would happen now if you boot to recovery. May be problematic if it decrypts by itself

Don't know which file needs change or correction, but it's stored at first setup entering a pin, asks whether booting should require pin or not.

The partition secret key is then only accessed after entering a correct pin.

If you set up without that the data is still encrypted but automatically allows decryption without user authentication
[HTC U11+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Cryptycat7:
Just noticed that HTC Dev only lists the regular U11, is this intended? Unlocked the 10 without any hiccups, just wondering. Thanks in advance for answering.
[HTC U11+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
It's off topic, but yeah, it's the same process on each phone. But I guess HTC team just forgot to add it
[HTC U11+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] quattro527:
Hi Guys,

I can CONFIRM that my U11+ is fully-rooted via Magisk with bootloader unlocked. The unlock process is the same as the U11 (U11+ not listed on HTCDev), followed by the TWRP image provided. I did have to wipe and format /data in order for TWRP to see the partition without asking me for decryption password, followed by the Magisk flash to gain root.

Just for curiosity-sakes, I did try to flash a standard U11 Oreo Dual-SIM ROM (Viper 2.1.0) to see what would happen, since it's been said that the hardware are "identical"--apparently not. Phone would not boot as proof-of-concept, in which I then proceeded to simply do a RUU to restore it back. I keep the 2Q4DIMG.zip RUU file saved on the SD card for incidents like this.

Has anyone tried to tweek this phone or attempt to port any ROMs yet? I just wished they had a Nougat OS/Firmware, as Oreo is still pretty new without many tweeks (i.e. Xposed, etc).

Since Sunshine just released their Oreo S-Off, I will give that a try and report back (it's confirmed working on my U11, which allowed me to flash the firmware back to Nougat to allow some time for Oreo to mature).

Loving this phone so far. :)
[HTC U11+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Galactus:
Is there a way to do this without formatting /data?

I really don't like to run the phone with encryption disabled (which I assume happens when /data is formatted).
[HTC U11+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] force70:
Flashing twrp and having it be able to read internal storage requires decryption.

looks like you can flash magisk without using twrp after skimming the OP though

sent from my Pixel 2 XL or Note FE
[HTC U11+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
yeah, the first time you boot it somewhere along the process it will be encrypted after the formatting.

So next time it supposedly will be a need for decryption in twrp as well

problem with OTA

Hi !

Tried to make a root and eventually got a bootlap. Recovered the phone using the firmware from the memory card file 2Q4DIMG_OCEAN_M_DUGL_O80_SENSE90GP_HTC_Europe_1.10.401.23_Radio_8998-002772-1711021849_release_516987_signed_2_4.zip .

I installed the Magisk, patched the boot, everything was fine. An update came, but it takes off by 24%.

With manual update in the recovery I see the following picture. Now boot stock and relocked

Help please

UPD:

install 2Q4DIMG.zip from SD and after that in Recovery mode install Ota update
[HTC U11+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Cryptycat7:
Here is a workaround. Leave TWRP in read only mode. Flash Magisk, do not reboot format data, reboot, now it will work just fine.
[HTC U11+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] sm_vl:
I use stock recovery. For root was Magisk + patched boot. Befor OTA update I flash stock boot

Despite the stock boot and stock recovery, the update did not take place until the download RUU via the SD card
[HTC U11+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] bnwg:
Same for me when I updated to 1.24.400.2.

Stock recovery. Rooted with Magisk. Restore stock boot and reboot before OTA.

Got error at 24% of updating process saying the system partition was modified.

Need to flash back RUU and do OTA update afterward.

It will be quite troublesome if need to repeat all these for next update.
[HTC U11+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] sm_vl:
That's what bothers me, that I'll have to re-configure the phone. Of course there is the Titanium Backup, but I still wanted to avoid such a problem for the future.

By the way, from the update I took out the latest versions of boot and recovery using decrypt tool
[HTC U11+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] m3johan:
Do you really need decrypt tool to get boot and recovery from an ota?

I just unzip it and then unzip firmware.zip.

Hi all, I just got Translucent Black today. Where can I find how to unlock bootloader ?
[HTC U11+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Cryptycat7:
On HTC Dev you'll find a tutorial.
[HTC U11+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] bnwg:
Same here. In fact other than reconfiguring the phone after update, device needs to be rooted again which means the whole process is PC dependent.

Cannot do OTA on the fly.

If you can retrieve directly from the zip then the zip may be already decrypt and unsigned. But I highly doubt that stock boot and recovery can be directly extracted from the OTA zip.

That's why decrypt tool is there.

[HTC U11+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Cryptycat7:
So this is the right thread [MENTION=6678657]SlyUK[/MENTION] TWRP has to decrypt the internal storage to read it. That's the reason why Magisk only can be successfully flashed if you format userdata after flashing. For example we can't write the system partition without working decryption, but that's what a custom ROM does. It formats the system partition and writes a new system image. This is also the reason, why we need an external SD card to flash a kernel, it's not encrypted, so TWRP doesn't face the decryption issue. You can try to flash from internal memory, you won't be able to access the internal storage if you are encrypted, so you can't flash. No decryption, no write to system partition.
[HTC U11+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] SlyUK:
Are all smartphones encrypted when you first buy them ?
[HTC U11+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Cryptycat7:
Android enforces encryption since a while. I think since marshmallow. You can disable force encryption in the kernel tho. Otherwise it will encrypt every time you boot after formatting user data.
[HTC U11+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] SlyUK:
Ok thanks, I'll try and read up a bit more about it when I have the time and get back to you if need be.

Well, apart from decryption everything is functional from what I tested. There is no ROM for the U11+ and Cleanslate kernel doesn't require data partition to be decrypted to flash.

I've got a stock unlocked g5 plus that I'm going to root but before I do I want to back up my recovery partition. When I use fastboot to boot (not flash) twrp I can't mount anything or run the backup. Is this because it's encrypted? Just wondering what the correct way to do this is.

Hi all, I have a 2012 Mazda 3 with an MFD, the stock Android music player shower the track playtime. I don't really use that app and mainly use PowerAMP. The MFD shows "Other" with the MFD, is there a way to make it display the playtime or maybe the song title?

Is there any other music app that shows info on the MFD?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] ikerg:
The responsible for displaying data on the mfd is the can bus

There are some apps responsible to communicate to can bus using private services from the head unit (not standard services from.android)

You would have to program a module that overwrite the music data on the headunits private services with the music data from standard android multimedia services (the ones used by almost all players)

Anyone on Vodafone able to check if CA with B1 and B20 or any CA with B1 is possible on the Mate 10 Pro as the L29 Dual sim doesn't seem to be able to do it. Does seem odd for VF to sell a phone that won't work with most of there CA combos. I'm thinking that when a VF sim is inserted into the phone it enables the CA combos along with VoLTE and VoWI-FI.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] koper1:
Not exactly true, at least in Europe. Operators have a few options regarding the VoLTE and VoWiFi, they can enable this functions for:

a) only their firmware for whatever phone model/brand they select

b) phone model/brand in portfolio only the operator is selling (without branding firmware)

c) any phone model/brand from the free market they choose, regardless firmware

On the operators web side there is usually a list of phones from all those tree options.

List of phones from the free market (non branded) by CZ operators is like this:

O2 (Telefonica) supporting VoLTE automatically for: all Samsungs, iPhones, most Huawei and some new Honors.

T-Mobile: same + most Xperia models, some LG (G4,5,6...) even almost all MS Lumia.

Vodafone: all the above + Nokia 5,6,8, some ZTE...

No need any extra support, no branded ROMs, just turn it on in the phone menu.

And that list is growing every month now.
