[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Kenneth196:
I hate to ask a question that's probably been answered in multiple threads already, but I can't seem to find a definite answer unfortunately. I'm rooted (Magisk 14.5) + TWRP beta installed. What's the correct method/steps on upgrading from 8.0 to 8.1?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ilal2ielli:
I downloaded the full factory image, edited the flash-all.bat to remove the -w flag so that my data wouldn't get wiped.

After that I:

Used adb to boot to bootloader.

Ran flash-all.

Then I booted to TWRP.

Installed TWRP, Flash Kernel, and Magisk.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Kenneth196:
Worked like a charm! Thanks so much. I made my own notes for future reference
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Prattham:
Care to share?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Kenneth196:
Sure. It's just a little more detailed and noob-friendly for myself mainly but pretty much the instructions he provided

*Copy TWRP zip and latest Magisk zip to phone

1) Download full factory image for Pixel 2 XL (Tiamen) - https://developers.google.com/android/ota#taimen

2) Extract to Downloads folder <-- This is specific to me as someone else may save it elsewhere

3) Edit the flash-all.bat to remove the -w flag so data isn't wiped. SAVE!!

4) Boot into bootloader (from the phone or adb), connect phone to PC,

open cmd prompt from Downloads\platform-tools-latest-windows\platform-tools (type cmd

in the address bar and press enter) <-- Specific to my PC as someone else may have their fastboot folder saved elsewhere

5) Run flash-all script by doing flash-all in fastboot command prompt (navigate to Downloads first)

5.5) Reboot into bootloader via adb reboot bootloader in fastboot cmd prompt

5.6) Temporariy put TWRP.img directly on C: (makes next step easier)

6) Boot into TWRP via fastboot cmd prompt & fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img

7) In TWRP, flash the TWRP zip then Magisk zip

It worked fine for me but I do get a corruption message once booted into the OS. It's just cosmetic from what I've read. It passes safety net and I've used Android Pay and it works fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] fuzzie:
Thanks for the tips. I need to try this and see if I lose all my data.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
When people say "remove the -w flag", does it literally mean removing the sole instance of "-w" within the flash-all.bat file?

So, for instance, I'm changing:

I've been rooting/flashing for years but have never messed with this particular thing before.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
To your opening statement, the short answer is..YES. Simply open the flash all.bat file and remove the -w toward the last line of code.

Then save your changes, then run the script. It'll update your phone to the latest factory image without wiping your data. Works like a charm.

Personally, I do a clean flash, and wipe the phone every 3 months or so just to keep things running as best they can :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
Funny to me that simply removing 2 characters is all that is necessary. Nice and simple. I like it!

And, I agree. I used to start from scratch monthly but I don't have the time/patience for that anymore. Doing it once every 3 months sounds reasonable.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] andy6685:
Make sure you only leave ONE space in the gap where the '-w' used to be, or you'll be flashing that image forever! Trust me, I know :D

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] simonand:
I found the smart lock did not work after root, no matter using beta magisk 14.5 or stable 14. I would like to make sure if this is a problem of my own, or a general case, so that I can decide whether to report this to the developers. Thank you.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] shadeau:
I'm using beta 14.5 and when I open smart lock it asks for a pin and then shows a blank white screen. No options to add devices. I've been using face unlock so I didn't notice until I checked after seeing this.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Beaster:
Try this.

Oneplus forums

It worked for me.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] simonand:
Exactly the problem I have, so this should be a problem of magisk. I guess magisk is not compatible with 5t now, some other people report they have problem with their wifi after root (I also found wifi is slower).

I tried supersu as well, but it can cause a battery drain. So there is no perfect root for 5t till now.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] simonand:
It will become blank again after reboot... It's perfect if I uninstall magisk or use supersu instead.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] peteus:
I second that, it turns blank again after reboot. or sometime during use. So irritating.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Bart1981:
I just found out that Magisk itself doesn't seem to be the problem.

I did a fresh install, installed magisk without any problem. The problem started after installing a module from within Magisk...

After that Smart Lock blanked out and removing the module doesn't change anything.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] tyrone1:
What module did you install? I seem to get this problem even with out magisk. Maybe twrp is the cause?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Bart1981:
I guess I was mistaken... A later attempt I also got a blank screen after a while.

Not shure why. In the beginning it seems all ok also after a couple of reboots, but then after a certain time and a reboot it's there. again.

I'm getting only 8 multi-touches in a test. Is that supposed to be 10?

Fyi, my phone even registers less, but still functions properly (for me that is) :good:

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] JRkkTheGamer:
After rooting successfully I have found a weird glitch with the fonts.

This happens only in google apps, like Google Play Movies, Google Assistant and so on, it also happens in the permission warnings, ( like permission to access storage) but not on the whole warning, just the grant or refuse buttons. I have tried messing around to fix it but I cannot find any info about this problem. I have no idea what caused it or how to fix it, but it is very annoying.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Rivelldy:
Same problem here. Did you manage to fix it?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] JRkkTheGamer:
Couldn't figure out what was causing it so I just took it as corrupted files and reset the phone. I used Titanium Backup to back up the whole thing and noticed the name of the apps on the list also had the weird characters, so I didn't back those up. After a reset it has been working fine with root, even after multiple Magisk updates.

i had the same problem, check if you have set the language English (XA) or something similar and add instead English US / UK.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] louisadam:
I have a Galaxy S7 standard. This afternoon, I got a notification that an automatic update could not be installed properly. The phone rebooted and it got stuck on the Samsung title forever. I managed to force-reboot it a couple time but it kept stalling on the Samsung title.

I tried to boot the safe mode, without success. I then managed to boot the recovery mode and tried what was suggested on android forums by users who had similar problems, and I flushed the memory cache from the recovery mode menu. This is where it got worse. I read many articles by users who managed to root their phones back to the original firmware throught Odin and saved their data doing so.

So I downloaded the firmware for my region and my service provider from sammobile and ran the installation though Odin 3.12.5. The installation almost went through and crashed at the Cache step (near 99% completion), with the error (Custom binary(SYSTEM) blocked by FRP Lock) written on my phone on top of the (An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software).

Now I cant get my phone to boot the recovery mode. I can't even shut it down. It will only reboot and go straight to the error page. Smart Switch PC won't recognize the phone so I can't recover it from there. Can anyone help me solve this? Given where I'm at, I wouldn't mind a way to reset it to factory default and lose my stuff.

Thanks in advance.

Louis
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teddy Lo:
So , to help you I need information of your phone :

1. What is full model of your device ?

2. It is based on Qualcomm or Exynos CPU?

3. Does Odin still recognise your device ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] louisadam:
1. SM-G930W8

2. How do I find this information? Quick googling makes me believe it is Exynos because I bought it in Canada for the Telus network, but I can't confirm anything since I can't boot it.

3. Yes it does. I can retry the installation, but it fails at the same step over and over.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teddy Lo:
Okay , so download this file in order to disable FRP lock , use Odin click on "AP" so after that you can restore normaly back to Stock Firmware with Odin or Smart Switch .

https://files.fm/u/6bb7ttaa
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] louisadam:
Tried this. It processes the installation and fails near the end. This time it is Custom binary (userdata) blocked by FRP lock

added : I used only AP when trying this. No BL, CP or CSC.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teddy Lo:
So then is problem on your Firmware , go to sammobile and download latest Version of Firmware for your device and your Region .

So that error Custom Recovery is probably problem because you flash your device with old Firmware version 6.0 and that way cannot Flash your Firmware because Firmware Signature.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] louisadam:
I do have the version from 2017-08-31 which says version 7.0 (see https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930W8/TLS/)

There is a newer version dated 2017-11-30 but the sammobile website for some reason has a broken link, or restricts downloading if you're not a premium member, which I'm not. If you can provide me with an alternative link to download the latest one, I'll give it a go. But both seem to be version 7.0

Added : Nevermind the broken link, Sammobile site has issues and their forum helped me solve it. I'll try installing the newest firmware when it is downloaded
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teddy Lo:
You can download as a free member :)

Anyway , here is your firmware :)

https://dl.sammobile.com/M1FaQz5LIi...kBfXA../G930W8VLU2BQK4_G930W8OYA2BQK4_TLS.zip

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] louisadam:
OK, well it didn't work again. 99% completion then ''Custom binary (SYSTEM) blocked by FRP lock

any other ideas?

I'm giving your link a shot. If it fails, I'll bring it to the store. Thank you very much for your time.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] louisadam:
Well... basically it would cost me more to repair it than what it would be worth. Financially, my best option is to buy a new phone :crying:

This means, I can try new tricks to try to fix it. I'm open to hear any ideas you guys have. Is there a way to force shotdown the phone to get out of the ''Download update'' menu which I'm stuck in? And then, is there a way to reach the recovery mode to do a factory reset? Would that work?

I was wondering if anyone could change the stock kernel for QI2 from enforcing mode to permissive mode, and also add all the governors to it for speed and performance. Somehow i tried every custom kernel you could possibly use and each one has its problems. beast mode kernel soon as i get down to 30% it dies and no its not my battery bought 2 extra batteries off ebay and it does it with each battery. ram kernel when i use it somehow causes all my calls to reboot during call no matter if its speaker or on my ear and it dies around 25-30%. Using flashpoint kernel now and it does the same as ram kernel. Only kernel ive used with no issues was stock kernel but i have xposed installed and rooted and alot of my rooted apps dont work because the kernel is enforcing.please if anyone who deals with making kernels point me to the right direction or if i can pay you too do this i would be a happy camper.

Hello,i saw yesterday on FF a new version, B399. Someone managed to install it?

A lots of things in FF but nothing on our phone...
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Any changelog?!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] SALENTINVM:
Well, an update comes every 3/4 months. Surely we'll receive something by the end of the year or in January
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
The best thing that it would be Oreo, coming as a surprise without a beta test.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] SALENTINVM:
I don'o Think so, anyway i don't cara too much about Oreo anymore, it would just be a New interface with some minor stuff perfectly integrable with minor updates.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Well, if it gets treble support, that will be huge. That's why I'm hoping for Oreo
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] alen1901:
No treble support for honor 8. Look for Android Police post about devices getting project treble.

Pure Honor 8
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
We can't determine Treble support until the Oreo update is released (if Honor did)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Zerø.:
Sadly your right :/ there has been a lot of updates in FF but none of which we can install.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Zerø.:
Yah bro here is the changelog. Sadly nothing special.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Zerø.:
We might get treble support, tbh we might not. Alot of phones that have been updated to Oreo haven't came with support for it. Just phones that have came out with Oreo as there first OS. That's what I have been seeing anyways :/
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Don't worry, since every Honor phone has a separate Vendor partition, all devices getting Oreo automatically will have Treble support :)

That's wonderful to hear! Hell yah ?

BTW they just dropped a new update in FF again. Same Version number different build ID. (Or however FF ID's them ?)

Does it show you as being on B399?

Create a "dload" folder in your external sdcard, put the update.zip content in it.

Shut down your device.
