[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
IMO, (2) is most possible utcome. (3) may happen if you force DLOAD and other manual methods.

Better:

1) unroot by Magisk Uninstaller, find the download link in the post https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74913863&postcount=1

2) flash from TWRP original stock boot img

3) wipe Dalwik and Cache from TWRP

3) flash from fastboot original stock recovery

4) let it make OTA update but select in the System Update settings to use Full (not differential) update - it will not delete your apps and settings

Of course, you will loose root and TWRP but bootloader will remain unlocked and you will not risk bricking the phone.

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
Magisk Uninstaller does not wipe your phone.

However, unlocking or relocking Bootloader (from Fastboot) triggers Factory restore

What is taking sony so long, did they call it off or something?
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] treier57lol:
You are not very patient, are you? I just came from Samsung to Sony and I've dealt with waiting a long time for firmware updates. The Oreo update blog post came out on August 31, so it's only been under 4 months. And they rolled out the update to the XZ Premium on October 23, so 2 months. It takes a while to roll out firmware updates with their pristine optimization to 10 devices at once.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Smeagal192:
Hi guys and gals

Any information on functionality of this model after unlocking bootloader, flashing TWRP and choice of rom.

Why I posted was to check that whoever reads this post can be assured of at least getting the same experience of the stock OS, but with all the goodies that come with Oreo, preferably 64bit version.

One thing I have noticed is that download links tend to have a specific model ie pixel experience shows xt1686 on androidfilehost.

So any information regarding UK only model can be kept in one place, if anyone has spent any time reading the G5plus forums its a right mess between the different models, and the same questions and answers are going around again and again, so for us if having one Country specific post can help any confusion, great in my book.

Any non UK owners, please do not clutter up this thread, suggest you create your own model/country specific new post.

Regards

Ray

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] fex42:
Hi,

I try to install LineageOS 14.1 + Magisk 15.0 without encryption on Data, but it always is encrypted after installation again.

Here are the steps I take:

1. Install TWRP 3.2.1-0

2. Boot into TWRP recovery (getting prompted to enter pattern so it can decrypt data)

3. Format Data (forced to type "yes" , so did not only wipe it)

4. Reboot into recovery to proove that I am unencrypted now (not prompted again for the pattern again)

5. Install LineageOS 14.1

6. Install Magisk 15.0

7. Install Google Apps

8. Reboot into system, installing LineageOS, some apps, etc.

The next time I boot into recovery, I get prompted for the pattern so I guess my Data partition is encrypted again.

I tried several variants of install packages, also the "no-enforce-encrypt-no-verify" package (after installing LineageOS), but got no luck so far.

Please could someone tell me what I am doing wrong and what to do to avoid encryption of data again?

Thank you!

Use this recovery:

[youtube]SuRGdHKKg5Y[/youtube]
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] fex42:
Thank you, but it seems not to be caused by my TWRP version (3.2.1-0). In the meantime I installed LineageOS 15.1 but did format data again just before rebooting and now data stays unencrypted (does not ask me for unlock pattern in TWRP). Even after installing Magisk v15.0 later, is stays unencrypted . But in MagiskManager there's the checkbox set "keep force encryption" - dont know if that does matter? On my Redmi Note 4 this checkbox is not set.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] LogicalMaverick:
Same problem here with my Redmi K20 Pro. The problem occurred after I reboot my phone to uninstall FDE.AI magisk module. My phone then encrypts itself. Factory reset, format data, repair partition, re-flashing stock ROM doesn't solve the problem. Have you solved it yet?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] scalliant:
Currently I'm using a OnePlus 3 on 6.0.1 (OOS 3.1.1) but I would like to update to Oreo (OOS 5.0). How do I do this when my device is rooted?

I've downloaded the latest OS off the oneplus website. Is it as simple as uninstalling SuperSU and then flashing the latest OS through recovery?

I also have TWRP recovery and Xposed installed.

Would appreciate any help.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Explorer23:
Just flash the new OS in recovery, no need to unroot as it will get overwritten anyways. You'll need to root again after updating, of course.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Edo 91:
The full zip of oxygen OS will overwrite the TWRP recovery with the stock one?

I can update with the zip in the recovery and root whenever i want or i have to do this at the same time?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] scalliant:
It's as easy as that? It's not a problem that I have xposed installed or anything?

What should I wipe before I install the new OS?

Sorry for all the questions, newbie here.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Explorer23:
[MENTION=4881363]Edo 91[/MENTION]

I'm not sure about overwriting recovery, it's been a long time since I've used OOS (currently on PA, before than on LOS). If I remember correctly the recovery should stay if you DON'T boot into system right after flashing. So, flash the ROM, reboot into recovery first, then boot into system. Can't say if anything changed with Oreo, but that's how I remember it from Nougat and Marshmallow. You can however flash recovery again right after ROM, just to be sure.

You can root later down the road, no need to do everything at once.

[MENTION=5213947]scalliant[/MENTION]

Generally yes, it as easy as that. Xposed and root methods modify system partition - and that gets overwritten when you flash new ROM. That's why those modifications have to be flashed again after every update (some custom ROMs are exception, but rest assured the stock one will nuke all mods).

Anyways, we're talking about Android version upgrade here and not just a minor system update, so I'd recommend a clean installation (but you can try dirty first and then do a clean one in case you experience issues).

First of all, make a full nandroid backup (check everything except "system image" in TWRP). Copy all of your media content (pictures, videos, music ... whatever you don't wanna lose) to another device - better safe than sorry. Optionally, backup apps with Titanium or something similar.

To do it clean: wipe /system, /data and /cache. That means losing all apps and settings, but you'll keep stuff that was stored on the phone. After successfully booting into system you can restore app backups or install them and set up everything again.

To do it dirty: wipe just /system and /cache. You'll lose just system settings, but will keep apps and everything else. Less hassle, but higher chance of something going south.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] shobuddy:
I thought you loose everything when you do a clean install. So photos and files are preserved using this method? I assume text messages will be lost?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Explorer23:
Media is on a (virtually) separate partition and is preserved unless while internal storage is formated. Still, it's never a bad idea to have a backup.

Yes, text messages are lost if not backed up. There are many apps that do that (and can be set to upload to cloud regularly).

Hi All,

Did anyone tried Viper Atmos Audio mod on HTC One M8 ? Actually, I am in S.Team M8 ROM with S-ON, and not sure this MOD will work or not with this ROM.

https://xdaforums.com/android/software/viperaudio-viperatmos-3-8-sq-driver-t3289075

Thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Haven't tried that one specifically. But Viper in general should work, provided you have no write protection on the system (should be okay on S.ROM) and you may have to fiddle with SELinux permissive, deep buffer, audio_effects.conf (some of those seem to be handled automatically with the mod your linked). Make a nandroid of your existing ROM setup before applying the mod, just to be safe.

When I tried to update to the latests version of xperifirm I bumped into 3 different windows finally stating: Invalid resources received! (look for the images below) Searching the xda forum I found out that the issue was already adressed two times telling me it had something to do with the internet options or OS settings. However I didn't manage to resolve the specific cause of the problem in my case. The only indication I have is that it probably has something to do with 'Safe Browsing' as the message displays on the second window. Can anybody help me out discovering the source of the problem?

4. I installed the latest version of Magiskv15

5. Reboot and everything works :)
[Magisk] GldRush98:
I couldn't find a way to recover (I didn't know about the Magisk uninstaller), so I ended up ODIN flashing the whole Tab and am having to set everything back up from scratch again. Bummer.

edit: And just for fun since I was wiped already, I tried the Magisk 15 zip on a 100% clean device. Immediately hung at throbbing Samsung screen on boot. No action at all.

So yeah, it looks like Magisk 15 is a no go on newer Samsung stuff. I did upgrade my Nexus 5 to v15 with no issues :\

edit2: Magisk 15 -> Fail to boot -> Flash Magisk Uninstaller -> Flash Magisk 14 -> Successful boot!

So if I would have done the uninstall and re-flash, I probably could have recovered with out wiping the whole device. Bummer :(

Hope this helps some people...

same...

1. magisk 14.5 -> update (from app, install mode: direct flash)-> install v15 reboot -> Samsung Logo ( ~ 10 min )

2. TWRP -> uninstall magisk -> wipe cache & dalvik -> install 14.5 -> Boot (and reboots) OK

3. Reboot TWRP -> update/install v15 -> reboot System -> Samsung Logo :/ ( ~ 10 min )

again ... step 2

4. Reboot TWRP -> update/install v15 (wipe cache & dalvik after) -> Samsung Logo :/ ( ~ 10 min )

again ... step 2

5. TWRP -> uninstall magisk -> wipe cache & dalvik -> install 15.0 -> Samsung Logo :/ ( ~ 10 min )

again ... step 2

6. TWRP -> uninstall magisk -> (No wipe) -> install 15.0 -> Samsung Logo :/ ( ~ 10 min )

[MENTION=4667597]Didgeridoohan[/MENTION] That's so early in the boot process adb reports device as Offline so don't expect logcats from average Joe. Samsung Devices doesn't boot with custom recovery and dm-verity enabled, Magisk 15 no longer disables dm-verity by default so...

This is strange. I already had dm-verity disabled. Flashing 6.0 fixed the 15.0 problem. My phone successfully boots now despite having 15.0 (I'd already uninstalled it and flashed 14.0 onto it, but I reflashed 15.0 to check your suggestion out).

Factory reset :( Then tried flashing magisk and dm-verity from recovery but ended in Samsung logo again.

Looks like the right way is flashing v15.0 from manager with "keep AVB/dm-verity" turned on, get a bootloop, then flashing dm-verity from recovery.

At least that's how I made it.
