I have flashed twrp and im in recovery mode. Is there a way to install the files without using an external sdcard?
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mchlbenner:
No you need to reformat data

I've flashed Twrp to my a8 but as soon as I booted to Twrp, my phone was already formatted and when I rebooted the phone it kept rebooting.. and I gotta flash the firmware again and wait for 7 days. Is there any solution ?
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] stfn74:
Just to let everyone know that version TWRP 3.2.1-1 installed and works fine on the SM-A530W variant (Canadian Koodoo/Telus). Thanks a lot!

I did not patch the no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx boot batch because I did not see a need for it. After formatting DATA, I was able to mount it, backup it, etc. Not sure if it does anything more than that...
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ashyx:
Backed what up? If you formatted there's nothing worth backing up.

You need to disable encryption to backup. You won't be able to back up any of your apps or settings because you've allowed data to re-encrypt.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] stfn74:
Yes, but before formatting the DATA it wouldn't even allow me to backup anything (for example SYSTEM). The backup would just stop with an error. After formatting DATA I was able to do the backup (yes, DATA was empty at that time). However today, after I have my phone all set up, I just did another backup and it worked fine too. And that's without applying the boot patch. So that's why I say I probably don't understand what this patch exactly does, but I haven't encountered issues by not applying it.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ashyx:
I'd like to see a copy of your recovery log.

Have you applied any other patches after formatting DATA, Magisk, SuperSU etc?
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] stfn74:
Sure, just let me know how to generate this log and how to give it to you

I basically followed the steps here and applied:

- RMM-State_Bypass.zip and

- SuperSU latest beta
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mchlbenner:
You need to flash the custom kernel v1.

The rmm patch doesn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ashyx:
I think the RMM bypass patch also disables forced encryption.

Need [MENTION=6911575]BlackMesa123[/MENTION] to confirm.

You can save the log under ADVANCED/SAVE LOG
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] BlackMesa123:
Nope, just disables RMM Lock in system

Yes that it works, if it didn't to you then you probably missed some step for unlocking or highly probably you updated your ROM and forgot to reflash the zip (Yes, you need to reflash it if you install a new ROM and it hasn't RMM fix included). Kernel has same fix in ramdisk and simply runs it at each boot to avoid reflashing that zip
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] stfn74:
I have both the recovery and the kernel logs now. I tried sending them to you via PM, but it won't let me. Is it safe to post them here? Or give me an email?
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ashyx:
Just post them as a file here or somewhere like tiny upload.com
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] stfn74:

Encryption failed

Dear [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION],

in order to root by Magisk I installed your TWRP.

Well, with your TWRP i succeeded in disabling dm-verity check by no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip, then I've been formatting data to let the phone boot.

It boots but it's impossible to re-encrypt the phone, I see encryption screen for a few seconds with no progress information, then it backs to lock screen as after a crash.

The same issue happens with Android 7 (A530FXXS2ARE1_CL13244239_QB17985486) and Android 8 (A530FXXU2BRG1_CL13824581_QB18773379).

Do you think this issue could be related to TWRP?

Thanks a lot for your efforts.

When you where rooted where on Oreo or n?

If you where on Oreo did your sim work?

[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ultradj83:
Dear,

I'm on Oreo, sim works and I apply encryption before to apply Magisk.

Tks.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mchlbenner:
So your rooted on Oreo and sim work?
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ultradj83:
Yes, why so many people asking?
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] mchlbenner:
Because it was reported that if you rooted Oreo sim would notwork a Samsung's new root protection.

TWRP you used 3.2.1.1 this what you used

[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ultradj83:
No, 3.2.2-0.

[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ultradj83:
Install latest firmware by Odin.

Install TWRP 2.2.2-0 by Odin with auto reboot option disabled.

Reboot to TWRP by holding Vol- + Power to soft reset and Vol+ + Power as the screen goes black.

Install no-dm-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.

Format data.

Reboot to system and complete wizard.

Robot to TWRP and install Magisk 16.6.

Reboot to system.

Install latest Magisk Manager.

Well, I've been playing a lot cuz my intention was to do everything keeping encryption, but I couldn't succeed cause encryption feature seems broken on this phone.

Anyway, never had problems with seems.

I've been playing all around without SIM card, then I decided to keep Magisk and wait for a solution about the encryption feature.

I inserted SIM in slot 1 only at the end and it works, the the same...

I will wait ...

but what happened wrong with me to show me after reboot the phone "only official released binaries are allowed to flash"

how to avoid this message and what wrong did I do ?
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] 587.saboor:

2) got a girl pregnant when i was 15. didn't speak to her in school after her parents forced her to give up the baby.

3) i was a class clown so i clowned many people into submission. i might be responsible for a few suicides.

4) crashed my car into someone elses car that i knew (not friends but an associate) and didn't tell him.

5) stole stuff when i was a kid

there are a lot more but i'm pressed for time. i used a be a real piece of ****.

1. start off with a stock ROM and make sure that is stable, no looping. If so, your phone is good.

2. Find a stable custom ROM, make sure your TWRP (Exynos phone right?) is the correct version. Go from there. Install per instructions.

3. I think if you still have looping then post to that ROM section of the custom ROM. Those folks will have some 'hands on' experience with the ROM, or

4 Come back here.. and post up more details of your phone's situation.

I have had boot looping from a kink from a TWRP install, even though it was the correct version, and boot looping from a kink in a ROM install, as well.

Go slow, ensure each step, before you flash, and re-check again before flashing.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] fc3211:
I have seen some advice to loosen the screws on the bottom so that a tempered glass screen protector will sit flush and flat with no air bubbles.

But i wonder if that is bad for the phone? What if the phone gets dropped with the screws loosened? Will it sustain more damage because the screws are looser compared to a phone with screws tightened all the way?

Also my phone (a refurb I just purchased) has a small gap on the bottom right corner where the module clips on. Is this something I should worry about? No matter how hard I press the battery door closed I can see a small gap. God forbid I ever drop this phone in the toilet even for a second it would be obliterated by the water with such a big gap.

Its large enough for a german cockroach to crawl into my phone. Does anyone else have a gap this large? I wonder if this refurb phone was dropped
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] ezzony:
The gap is caused (i think) by the battery notches becoming worn or on the dock itself or both. I though I saw a thread on how to fix this or one could get a new battery and a new dock which would't cost too much.

Maybe you should try the easy option first, check if the phone detects another sd card, if so, the problem is in your Kingston SD Card and you must take it to the warranty.

Like many, my phone has the lower speaker distortion on speaker phone calls and general audio, like YouTube, when turned up high. If you are rooted, I have found a solution to all situations except speaker phone calls.

I installed Viper4android through Magisk, kept all default settings except under the Speaker phone section. I checked the Master Power and FIRequalizer boxes, chose Rock setting under FIRequalizer, and modified it to lower all of the levels from 250 to 4k to -6.8 db.

This removed the frequencies that caused terrible sound from the lower speaker, including when Google assistant speaks.

Does anyone have a solution for when on a speaker call though, as this has no effect there?
