Why do you think a "booted" TWRP wouldn't be able to correctly flash zips?

I don't see reasons for this... :confused:

In fact I wrote "if possible"... BUT anyway this is of no interest. We *only* need to boot to TWRP, we are not interested in boot to an "unflashed kernel" if you understand what I mean...

We have only to force it to boot *ever* in TWRP. Kernel parts not used by TWRP (if some are needed on our phone, like some Mediatek devices need...) could be omitted at all (as done on bootable TWRP for Pixels2 if I don't go wrong...). ;)
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] enetec:
This are exactly the *weird/tricking* solutions I was talkin'about... :rolleyes:

(Edit: let me add I don't like this a bit... Root how? Command could be mistyped & flashfire for backups is an orrible & unsafe solution... Just imagine do all this with valuable data in danger... :eek:)

All is possible. BUT these are NOT solutions for average user. And every single one requires a different solution/set of commands.

This is not for average user. I repeat it.

You & [MENTION=5394269]johfseth[/MENTION] are *NOT* average users... you are fu**ing good developers* and can't evaluate all scenarios with your (advanced) skills & capabilities... :rolleyes:
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
I have offered to give a bootable rooted image to other people in my kernel thread. The thing is, if ANYTHING is edited, OTA won't work, so bootable TWRP won't be feasible, unless you just backup your system and not edit anything.

If the average user can't follow a dd if/of command, would you want them to have to "fastboot boot (image)?" they might flash it, then their boot image needs to be flashed back or it won't boot. There are downsides for bootable TWRP as well. Because we don't know the decryption keys, you still have to wipe data. If you don't decrypt with the zip or SU, you can't update, etc. Decrypting modifies system which in turn makes you not able to get OTAs. It's a vicious cycle. The keys as per DeesTroy change with each boot image, so we would have to make a TWRP that has all keys, then comes to what devices do we support. Currently, the two who are actively developing and have worked on TWRP or assisted with it's boot kernel have only two devices, Sprint and T-Mobile. We wouldn't be able to debug any other model for it's decryption key.

To reiterate: to have working bootable TWRP with all the idiosyncracies you are asking for, we'd have to go through the java code like DeesTroy did and get it working. I am not fluent in java. I can make a bootable TWRP, but you'll have to be decrypted, because I know C and Python which is what kernels and most ROMs use. I don't know much about Java to find the decryption keys for each device.

Edit: for easy analogy: let's say computer languages are like human languages. I know two languages that are anglo-saxan in heritage, but you are asking me to read something latin based. I might know some things in it, but it's all greek to me still... XD

Edit 2: Looking at the TWRP for Pixel 2, the only reason they have a bootable image is to flash TWRP to both boots per their OP. It wasn't suggested to temp boot it for flashing purposes or backup purposes. It was implemented to have it in both boot partitions per the TWRP OP linked here
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] jhofseth:
I understand, I was mainly referring to fastboot stuff, not within TWRP. Any within TWRP stuff was related to Magisk, not the inability of TWRP to flash once TWRP was loaded, but the importance of re-flashing Magisk and the consequences of not re-flashing Magisk. It was really just centered on the importance of re-flashing Magisk. Anything related to kernels stemmed from someone's question about testing kernels. Just minor stuff, but someone asked. :)
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] enetec:
And this is *ALL* we need IMHO!!! ;)

Is this doable in your (or others...) opinion? :confused:

EDIT: and anyway it probably will work fine to flash something and/or to fully backup a system *including* stock boot.img (:highfive:) & only excluding encrypted /data (the same encrypted /data our flashed TWRP is unable to manage too... so, what's the point on it? :confused: )
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] enetec:
Anyway, we are really going OT here... this is not "Could a bootable TWRP be useful?" thread (it's *obvious* it is...;) ) this is a "What are the issues we have to face & fix to get a working bootable TWRP?" …

So my questions are basically two:

- is there a method to modify (read: force...) a boot.img with TWRP inside like ones we already have so that it boots to TWRP and not to system?

- can Pixels2/2XL bootable-only official TWRP (sources should be available...) be modified to make it work on our (similar...) device? :confused:
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] kendallgreen:
I would like to keep OTA (at least until there is a lineage os) and must encrypt my z2. Will the bootable TWRP decrypt the system password and allow backup? If I go with a modified boot.img with TWRP, then can I get OTA updates? or must I wait until someone modifies the OTA boot and publishes it? Can I keep one partition with the OTA and the other with a custom rom image?
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
To get OTA, both slots have to have an unmodified boot image, oem image and system. If anything got modified, OTA will fail

[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] furkey:
He fixed most of the problems already. All roms he published based on a lineage like base. So it's more like "if you ported one, you have ported others too" So there is not much workload if you know how to do it. I'm sure he is doing his best to fix rest of the issues. At least we can be grateful for his work.

BTW what kind of issues you encounter?

I didn't try the ROM. I just started my opinion on the noumerous projects he has to take care off. Why build several, unfinished ROMs and not fix the issues on one at first so that can be applied to the others? More ROMs mean more time needed to build and so on too.

[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Drysauce:
all of the custom ROMS have a big problem that happens. When you shutdown the phone the the data becomes encrypted or deleted it refuses to be accessed or mounted via TWRP and the only way to fix it is to change the file system type which formats the data partition, mokee, halogen, lineage, AOSPA, XenonHD and some others that are based on lineage all have this one problem. just pointing that out since you are asking questions about these ROMS. except for GZOSP 8.0 which doesn't have this problem :)

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Sammae7:
I believe using a theme or another launcher (Nova) is the only way. You can probably find a theme that only changes the icons. Might take a little while as the phone is still new.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] tknguyencsu:
You can change the theme to the following:

https://xdaforums.com/mate-9/themes/theme-pixel-dusk-classic-theme-emui-5-t3567731

From the theme you can customize and pick the icons from the above theme which need to put into the internal memory /Huawei/Themes folder. If your phone is rooted, this will not work. You need to create a folder "themes" in system and put the hwt file in this folder. Remember to change the folder permission to 755 and the file to 644 before it can work.

Hi all,

This may be a useless post but I spent the last half hour - hour searching on how to get android pay to work then how to pass the safetynet etc etc.

I decided to wing it and uninstall Xposed through the uninstaller in the app then rebooted device and passed safetynet instantly. My advice, if you want to pass safetynet then don't use Xposed.

Instructions:

Locate Magisk Manager app and open it.

Pull down from the top and refresh then click on check safetynet.

If either one/both show false and you have Xposed installed then head over and open up Xposed.

Once Xposed is open, click uninstall and let it run through its paces.

Once the un-installation is complete, reboot device.

After device has rebooted, open up Magisk Manager and check safetynet again.

Hopefully this helps some of you! If not then please disregard this post!

Hope y'all have a great day!

I purchased one from local craiglist for about $350, plan to use it with Sprint free one year program.

I tried it with my T-mobile sim card. It does work without problem. So, my phone is unlocked.

The original owner claimed that he has friend working in the company and bought for him at discount price, he is not used to Android.

Now I have problem with all type of sim cards that I tried. I called Sprint. The kept telling me that Sim card is not compatible.

I had a few brand new, never used Sprint Sim cards, they are all not working when I called Sprint. I called several local Sprint stores,

they all said that they do not have sim cards for Essential phone. I went to BestBuy bought one, call back Sprint, still does not work.

Now, my question is if my Essential phone is sold from Sprint or now. If it's original sold from Sprint, then I activate

on Sprint, will that be locked to Sprint ? Is there a simple way to check ?

Why Sprint is so annoying to have different sim card for different phones ? It's unnecessary make things complicated.

No wonder their business is in trouble.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kbonnel:
Here is the "easiest" way to tell if it was an original Sprint phone.

1. power off the phone

2. press the volume down button and the power button at the same time until the fastboot menu appears

you will see a screen that has Variant on it

What is written after Variant? usually it says sprint or OPENUS (openus being from essential directly or through a seller like best buy/amazon)

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

There isn't a difference between the NMI81C and the NMJ32F (other than the 32F being a newer updated version with additional patches and security updates.). The only reason there are 2 of them, is that Sprint hasn't "certified" anything past the NMI81C version. (this is what I read, but I cannot be 100% sure of this, but I am 99% sure it is correct.).

If you have an unlocked Sprint phone, and put in a different carriers SIM, it will find the other firmware images available to be downloaded. You can also just follow the instructions to flash the 32F on your phone by overwriting the phones partition. It works on Sprint, and I have tested it. (I have installed the Orea beta, the 81C and the 32F, no issues.)
