Good it worked.

I think you have installed Xposed in this Nougat Rom.

I can see in the screenshot.

Could you plz share the name of the files you flashed along with the Module name? The status bar customisation etc....

I installed the Xposed fine but when I installed the Modules the phone went into boot loop. I had to reset everything.

Plz share the names of the files along with Xposed module you installed.

Thank you. :good::laugh:

I just got my case a few days ago. Expensive, but it's a GREAT case. Super thin, it's smooth but not NEAR as slick as the bare phone. I might pick up the Qi mount for my car soon too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Shadow Assassin:
How well does it protect the phone? Iv never shattered one and dont want to start now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] ShrekOpher:
Anywhere it covers is protected. That being said it offers no coverage for the screen if your phone landed face down it wouldn't help at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] kangi26:
I picked up the care Qi Mount a couple months back. The phone holds REALLY well, but the charging does seem to activate/deactivate often when I'm driving. It's nothing super bad, but it does it. I've tried to re-position the phone, but it still does does it. Overall I'm SUPER happy with both the case and mount.

I also verified that this case wont be created for the Note 9. Pitkata said there wasnt enough demand for it

Can the data in an iphone can be erased like android mobile by going to recovery mode by pressing 2/3 buttons of mobiles . If not then what happens ?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] JasonJoel:
What? If you want to know about resetting an iPhone, ask in an iPhone forum?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] ayonavo:
I don't want to reset an iPhone, I''m just asking a security case. Let's imagine our android being stolen, then the thief can certainly press the power and volume key and can easily wipe data and factory reset the mobile phone by just simply going to recovery. So it'll be impossible for us to find the phone.

But I'm asking in case of an iPhone is this same case possible? Can a thief just simply wipe the data and reset the mobile by pressing some keys and without unlocking the mobile ?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] JasonJoel:
Gotcha. I haven't used an iPhone in years, so don't know.

I still think it's weird to ask an iPhone reset question in an Android forum though. You would probably get your answer in a minute if you just ask in an apple forum...
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Large Hadron:
Isn't the whole point of factory reset protection on android that it renders the device useless to someone who does this? Sure, it won't stop them actually resetting it, so you won't be able to track it afterwards, but the idea is that the thieves will learn that it's a waste of time.

Apple have something to prevent you just wiping a phone and making it yours, but I can't remember the details (i.e. whether it prevents the reset or, like the Google version, prevents you from using it afterwards).
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] dbrohrer:
I concur with [MENTION=2846080]Large Hadron[/MENTION]

On an iPhone, someone could enter the password incorrectly several times and the device would be wiped. It would not be usable, but it would be wiped. They could also connect the iPhone to a computer / mac with itunes and flash a factory image from there. Again, the device would be useless to them, but you wouldn't be able to recover your device from the thief.

Comparing an iPhone to a Pixel 1 or 2, both device could easily have the data wiped from the device. To that effect, the data is secure on both devices, which is by far the most important part. Recovering your lost / stolen device is an entirely different conversation. The benefit of an iPhone when lost / stolen is the device is a brick without the previous user's icloud email and password. Once it boots up, it asks for this before you can setup the phone. There is no way around this (without Apple's intervention). On a Pixel 1 or 2, the device could be wiped, but I believe the thief could then use the phone as their own. There is nothing that would "brick" the phone after a full data wipe.

If you are worried about your data, either phone is good (don't unlock bootloader and don't oem unlock). If you are worried about the hardware, you are responsible for that.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] robocuff:
An Android phone works exactly the same way. If you wipe it from recovery, FRP (factory reset protection) kicks in, Once that happens, you are required to log on to the last account that the phone was used on (just like Apple). If you don't know the previous account and or password, there's no way you can use the phone.

You can factory reset from settings without triggering FRP though. Doing so removes all accounts from the phone and anybody can then use it. It's assumed since you are in settings, you've already logged on when you last booted the phone. A thief wouldn't be able to get into settings to reset it as he or she wouldn't know the password to unlock the phone.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] dbrohrer:
Cool. I didn't know that. Thanks for that info
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] thesebastian:
And if you really want to perfectly protect all your encrypted files, never open the bootloader. Because there's no way to flash something in the phone if the bootloader is closed. And there's no way to Open the bootloader without wiping all your personal data in the process.

Now if you decide to open the bootloader, files are still encrypted, so it's not a big deal.

Regarding the annulment of an Android device, when it is stealed: That happens with any modern Android phone. Basically, Google bans the phone from their cloud servers. A phone without google account is like an iPhone without Apple/iCloud accounts, almost useless.

P.S.: an open bootloader in Android is like a Jailbreak in iOS, but totally OFFICIAL and supported by Google/Android. You don't lose any functionality like with Jailbreak (if that thing still exist today...).

From my point of view, Google should ask PIN before accessing Fastboot mode and Recovery mode. but this is just to prevent a bad joke from a friend or something like that. (Not when your phone is lost forever, you just want to ban that device from Google servers so can't be used again).
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Are you sure about that? I believe that factory reset still triggers FRP thus the black market trade in bypassing that check on lost and stolen devices.

Press Volume Down + Power to enter fast boot mode.

With ADB, if you use 'fastboot devices'

Nothing happens.

Developer option, OEM off, all done.

Developer otpion and OEM unlocking are off? Why? That shouldnt be needed.

Download current build from link provide above ^^(current build)

extract the files to your "adb/fastboot/platform tools folder on pc"

connect the phone to computer using usb cable.

Open adb on computer

type adb reboot bootloader

when in bootloader verify fastboot works

"fastboot devices"

if your device shows up double click the flash all script for your OS.

Hi, could you please upload stock Kernel file and (possibly) explain how to flash it. I'm new to the whole "working with OS" thing and I'm not sure how to find it myself. Thanks.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
My phone (3T) has an unlocked bootloader, is encrypted, not rooted, and running stock OOS 5.0.

I flashed TWRP and discovered that stock OOS restores the stock recovery in boot.

I saw the Oreo dm-verity thread by xenet, had a look at the zip file, noticed that it just modified fstab to prevent force encrypt, so I flashed it to see what happens.

And nothing happens. After the system had booted, fstab is unchanged from the original stock copy.

So I'm wondering whether this file is also restored when booting up on stock.

I get aggressive and go back to TWRP and delete /system/etc and /system/bin and modify build.prop.

Surely now the phone won't boot!

Wrong! It boots up and everything is back to normal in /system.

I go back to TWRP and have a look at /system and it shows me one without the etc and bin folders and has the modified build.prop.

What's going on? How can I see one version of /system in TWRP but a different version (ie, stock) when the phone has booted?

By the way I've been an Android user for many years and have rooted and flashed custom ROMs on a variety of phones and I've never seen anything like what's happening on my 3T. I'm sure that dm-verity is somehow involved in this.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] nicknacknuke:
Happened to me on my earlier OOS 5.0 attempts...

But i suspected Magisk is involved in my case.

I downloaded Magisk Module "System Terminal Debloater,"

remove some apps like Duo, Chrome, and Google Play Movies.

Some restarts, they magically re-appear again on Apps Drawer...

Haven't touch them yet again after....
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
Thanks.

I should have mentioned that I'm also not rooted. So stock OOS 5.0.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Jackhass:
When you boot TWRP for the first time, it should ask you if you want to put the /system in read/write mode or if you want to leave it unchanged, did you choose the right option?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
No, I don't get that message because my phone is encrypted with a password. So the first thing I see in TWRP is the request for the password and then I'm presented with the menus.

However, in the Mounted menu, system isn't mounted and I have the option of mounting it in read-only mode.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Sam Nakamura:
After first time flashing TWRP a folder gets created on your internal storage, with a hidden file called .twrps, go delete it and reboot recovery to trigger the message "allowing system modifications" on TWRP's first boot...

It's not about encryption, it's just that TWRP remember the decision you made due to the file I pointed out...
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Somehow the attachment strikes on previous post

Edit: still not working, check your TWRP Folder on storage to find the file
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
Thanks, you are correct. I'd forgotten that that TWRP remembers. Deleting .twrps does bring up the RO prompt after decrypting storage.

I had allowed changes to the system otherwise I couldn't have made changes to it, which includes the ability to restore the system partition.

But I'm still unclear why if I make changes to the system partition and boot with the stock kernel, then after the boot none of the changes are present in the system partition, but if I boot back into TWRP then the changes are all there.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] nhshah7:
I recall someone in another OOS 5 thread saying that the stock kernal replaces TWRP with stock recovery if you don't flash root (magisk/superSU). Is it possible that the kernel re-flashes system on boot? Another possibility is that TWRP thinks it's making changes to system but it's not actually? Not quite sure, I've never heard of anything like this before either, just throwing other ideas out there.

I've never read anything about the OP3T or any oneplus phones for that matter having A/B system partitions like the pixels. *shrug*

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
Actually it doesn't explain how TWRP can make changes to system yet the phone boots up on an unmodified system if using the stock kernel. And then, when you boot back into TWRP and look at system, the changes are still there.

Where does the unmodified system come from?

Where does the modified system live?

Why doesn't modifying system result in a failed boot due to dm-verity, while restoring a backup of system does result in a failed boot?

So many questions with no answers.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] rk2612:
Not sure if this is applicable in your case but the following possibilities may be worth considering for you:

1. Are you sure that the system image is actually getting modified? If the system partition is not mounted before flashing the zip and the zip being flashed does not mount the system partition in read / write, then no changes to system partitions will actually be written.

2. If dm-verity is enabled, then restoring system could result in an error as this is different from restoring a system-image (nandroid copy of the whole partition and not just the files in the system partition). DM-verity can be triggered if the files are all the same but the dm-verity signature computed by hashing the system partition has changed.

3. For boot partitions, strange behaviour can occur if remnants of the previous boot.img are still in the partition (...e.g. if the previous boot.img was of larger size and a new boot.img of a smaller is flashed, then there will be some bytes after the new boot.img that are from the previous boot.img). To verify this, format the boot partition from fastboot and see if you notice anything different with the new boot.img.

4. In Oreo / 8.0, dm-verity flags are stored in dtb (device tree blobs) inside the kernel and not in the fstab file. Only data encryption can be changed from the fstab file and dm-verity needs to be changed from changing the dtb (...Magisk beta v1456 and SuperSu 2.82 SR4 do this, I think).
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
I'll come back to 1.

2. That makes sense and accounts for why a restore of the system partition with the stock boot image causes me to get dumped back in fastboot mode. If I flash the stock system zip file then the system boots properly.

3. I've not had any issues with strange boot behaviour. I'm always starting with stock or flashing kernels that modify the stock boot image, like Blu Spark.

4. I gathered this from my reading of various threads. If I want to make changes to the system partition and get them to stick and not fail dm-verity then I have to flash a custom kernel. I've proven this in my testing. (A rooting solution would also work, but I've not done this).

Back to 1:

Here's what I've done:

Starting with pure stock image (flash OOS 5.0).

Boot into fastboot and flash TWRP.

Boot into recovery.

Mount system as rw. (In ro mode the next step fails)

Delete the bin, etc, and lib folders in system using the TWRP file manager. (Screenshot a)

Reboot system.

... First interesting fact ...

System boots ok, deleted folders are present in file manager. (Screenshot b)

Boot into fastboot and flash TWRP. (Booting with stock restores stock recovery)

Mount system.

... Second interesting fact ...

TWRP file manager shows that deleted folders are missing. (Screenshot c)

Flash custom kernel or patched boot image

Reboot system

... Third interesting fact ...

System fails to boot. Hangs on splash screen.

So TWRP made the changes (otherwise how could they be visible between reboots, including a replacement of recovery) and I only did them once.

Yet they don't actually take effect until I replace the stock boot image.

So, where are the changes hiding? What did TWRP actually change?

Screenshots (note that TWRP has the wrong timezone set so the time shown is wrong):
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] rk2612:
Some more thoughts for you to consider:

1. Have you tried this with the official TWRP recovery version 3.2.0-0?

2. Is there anything inside the folders that you see using the file manager after a regular boot? Folders of same name may exist in the boot ramdisk and these are merged with system folders after boot.

3. Try wiping cache between reboots and see if that changes any of your observations.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
Good questions. They got me thinking more about how this could possibly work.

I had a look at the cache and there's definitely no copy of the system hiding there.

I also unpacked the ramdisk in the boot image and it had nothing in system. Furthermore, the boot position is only 64 MB, no where near enough to hold the system.

Then I installed Magisk so that I could browse around the phone's partitions and take copies.

I learnt two things from this:

1. If there's a second copy of the system there are only three partitions large enough to hold it (/proc/partitions shows the sizes in 1 kB blocks). The system is about 1 GB. There is space in the system partition (sde20) for 3 GB. There's also space in the data partition (sca15). And there's space in the major partition holding the modems (sdf).

I could eliminate the data partition by formatting it but restoring the internal storage (sdcard) is such a a pain.

So I'll just accept that there is space for a copy, but I'm unlikely to find out exactly where.

2. When I had Magisk installed installed and the system boot, I added a folder and file to /system/priv-app using a file manager (so not using TWRP). I then booted into recovery, flashed the stock boot image, and rebooted. I was expecting it to fail dm-verity (modified system) but it didn't. After booting up there's no evidence of the folder I added to priv-app.

And if I restore the Magisk boot image then the additions show up again.

I'm actually very impressed with how the stock system (kernel, recovery, system) protects itself from modification. Very cool!
