[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] allstar21369:
So glad to see someone have it working and with a clear guide. I'm going to buy the phone this week.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] Johmama:
I just wanted to let everyone know that the guide posted in that post worked for me perfectly. I had an XT1710-01 that I had unlocked the bootloader before but stopped there. Then I finally wanted to root it, and ran into everything the OP ran into - just so many different guides and versions of TWRP/Magisk not working with the Z2 Play, it was hard to nail down the exact versions of everything I needed and make sure I didn't flash an incompatible version or something. I found that same guide a few days ago as well but never did it until today, and can confirm it works. I already had my bootloader unlocked and just did the rooting portion and all my data was saved (but I wasn't too worried about my data honestly, it's all backed up anyway).

And a special thanks to OP for coming back and posting his solution. Nothing is more frustrating than searching for a problem online, finding a hit on your exact problem in a thread that was posted years ago, and then no solution is ever posted in that thread. So good job. :good:
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] allstar21369:
I just received my Z2 Play, unlocked the bootloader, and am about to flash the custom TWRP (albus_twrp.img) posted in the guide linked above... but the guide never says to "flash" TWRP, it just says to "boot" with TWRP and also "Enter your FBE password: it must work! (turn off screen and turn it back on if not responsive)"...

I'm not 100% sure what to do here. Should I boot TWRP first, do a full backup and then flash TWRP? I don't want to wipe it.

And what is this FBE (File-Based Encryption) password? I've never set one and don't want everything encrypted.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] Johmama:
I didn't flash TWRP on my phone. I think I tried it once and it failed for some reason, so I just followed the guide of booting into TWRP, backing up my phone, and pulling the backup. Should be okay for what I need, in case of a failure I will have a backup somewhere and can recover the device. But yes, I'd at least boot into TWRP, then backup your device like in that guide so you have a backup. Flashing it is up to you, I've always flashed a custom recovery but on this phone I'm keeping the original recovery so I can get an OTA. On my Nexus devices I don't care about OTA because I just flash ROMs all the time so it's no big deal.

The FBE password as far as I can tell is the 4 or 5 digit PIN number you are asked to input upon a fresh wipe of your device to set as a password. I have my phone set up to use my fingerprint to unlock the phone, and if that fails it will ask for my PIN, which is the same as the FBE of mine. I used that same number in TWRP when it asks for a password to unencrypt the data and it worked. As far as turning off encryption, I'm not sure if there's a way to do that. There could be, but to turn it off, it wipes your data as a security measure.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] allstar21369:
Yeah, I can't backup my ROM most likely because I don't have an FBE password. When I go to backup my ROM in TWRP it fails.

I tried entering my unlock code and the pin I created but neither worked for my FBE password. I don't ever remember being asked to enter a password when setting up my device. I suppose this means I'll have to wipe data and then setup an FBE password.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] Johmama:
If it helps at all, the first time I tried it also didn't work for me and I did end up wiping my phone for other reasons before I came back and tried that guide again and it worked. I thought I set up the PIN they're talking about the first time around but I did have troubles in TWRP before the first wipe of my data. I would just boot up the phone regularly, plug it in to your computer, and try to grab any files you need and wipe it. I know that isn't the answer you're looking for, but it's all I can give I guess. Once you reset, hopefully they'll prompt you to make a PIN during the setup process and that should be the FBE password. Then follow the guide. I hope you get it man.

Oh, and to a note to you and everyone reading this, I booted to TWRP 3.2.1-0-albus and Magisk-v14.0. Dunno if it's just rumors or not but I heard the newer versions of Magisk might not work with the Z2 Play past version 14. Dunno if that's true but v14.0 worked for me.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] allstar21369:
Okay. I just wiped and re-set up everything and still no FBE password was asked for OR works when I go into TWRP. I'm using TWRP 3.1.1-0... I suppose I'll try it all again using TWRP 3.2.1-0-albus after deleting data.

*Edit: I did exactly what I just said I was doing booted TWRP 3.2.1-0-albus instead of 3.1.1-0 and when I it booted up and asked me for a decryption password I entered the pin I set up previously and it has been stuck at the "Mount, Trying Decryption" screen for a long time... but it's not frozen. It says "Updating partition details... ...done

Unable to mount storage

Full SELinux support is present.

Data successfully decrypted, new block device: '/dev

/block/dm-0'

Updating partition details...

...done"

And the progress bar/thing at the bottom is still animated like it's working... no forward or back buttons or anything and turning off/on the screen hasn't done anything... not really sure what to do here... I don't want to unplug it and brick my phone or force it off...

*Edit 2:

I now have it all sorted out.

TWRP never finished trying to decrypt data so I long pressed the power button and eventually went here -> https://xdaforums.com/z2-play/development/twrp-moto-z2-play-t3729531 , downloaded "twrp_albus_3.1.2_r18_64.img" and in adb used the command:

fastboot boot twrp_albus_3.1.2_r18_64.img

This TWRP looks a bit different than all of the others but it let me boot up and use my recently created PIN code to actually decrypt my data and make a full backup. After that I just installed Magisk (the latest one, 16.4) as indicated in this guide -> https://gist.github.com/eexit/e6d5fc0984e1c7f25376d3dafa819792 and everything is fine. I never even flashed TWRP, just booted it.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] joefuf:
Just curious what you guys have done about getting OTA updates since you've rooted and installed Magisk.

Have [MENTION=3021224]allstar21369[/MENTION] or [MENTION=5592523]pizza_pablo[/MENTION] had the chance to figure out the update process?

I'm currently trying to navigate the Magisk uninstall --> OTA update process and could use some insight if either of you guys have any to share.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] pizza_pablo:
I didn't want updates, especially the oreo "upgrade".
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] joefuf:
Hmm, didn't even think about just sticking on what works... Did Oreo give people some issues?

Since this was Day 1 with the new phone, I was just trying to get up to speed and probably sit on one version until I had compatibility issues with something, but everything just works.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] pizza_pablo:
Oreo hasn't come to the phone, when I decided I didn't want it, mostly because of the white background in the Quick Settings and I didn't want any of the other "improvements".

With this setup, I accept the risks of not having the security updates.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] pizza_pablo:
Double - double \_0_/
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] allstar21369:
I feel exactly the same way. No benefits for me. I don't want the bright white interface and I would never use the "Picture in Picture" (or floating video) feature (and if I did want that there are a couple apps for Nougat that do it).

But If I do decide I want it and give upgrading a shot I'll definitely post it here.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] joefuf:
Yeah, very understandable. It really is superfluous to the general experience.

Thank you sir! Keep me posted. I'm posting everywhere right now to learn the new methods so I know if there ever comes a time. This is my first phone since my Motorola Droid 4. Back then it was one click root, install and run Safestrap apk to get custom recovery, boot into custom recovery and flash zips to your heart's content. I'm sure this will be as "simple" once I learn, but it's pretty daunting in prospect.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] ArcSer:
Hi friends!

I haven't come up with an "elegant" solution to this yet.

I'd like to see (on a widget/status bar/any other suggestions) when my next alarm is due to go off.

This is useful either when a single alarm is set or when multiple alarms are scheduled.

I used to have a widget on my deceased LG G2 and also some other solutions which gave an indication as to the time until next alarm or the time it is set to.

I couldn't find a WORKING solution. All the apps I installed failed - some displayed the wrong time, others displayed nothing at all.

My Note 4X is stock, no ROOT, on a global MIUI 9 ROM (v9.5.4.0).

I'd appreciate your advice!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
First the cool. I have wondered for a while if you check ARB via the SVC -> Version menu, and it says: "non-fusing device" exactly what that meant. Today I found out.

If you are lucky enough to have a non-fusing device, ARB isn't checked, you can run any ARB you want, and roll back to any version.

That leads to the question(s). I currently don't have device that is rooted with the engineering aboot. Can someone that is rooted, check to see what ARB version is displayed in that menu? I don't remember.

Which leads to the next question. Is there anyone that is currently running ARB 1 or greater firmware with the engineering aboot? For example, and LS997 with ZV8 or higher.

-- Brian
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jl10101:
I'll check, but can't remember how to get into SVC for the H990
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
*#lgmenu#*990#

Replace lgmenu with the numbers that correspond to the letters.

Is the H990 ARB 1 or greater?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] adityajiwap:
H910 running alpha 10T here, rooted with your tutorial (H915 -> H910 10R)

still showing non-fusing device.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jl10101:
Thanks! My H990 is showing ARB 0

Some more info that may or may not be helpful:

• SW = H990 10e ZAF

• Kernel = DOTS 1.4

• SEPolicy = "Should be implemented" (guessing this means off)

• Bootloader Unlock Check = Bootloader Locked

Hope this helps in some way!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] pro_granade:
My LS997 doesn't do anything when I type in *#lgmenu#*997#
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
[MENTION=5083130]pro_granade[/MENTION] Sprint pulled that menu, but I know for a fact that ZV8 is ARB 1, so if you are rooted and running ZV8 then you are ARB 1.

I am only interested in rooted ARB 1 or greater.

-- Brian
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] pro_granade:
I'm non rooted locked bootloader on ZV9. Wanted to check if I had a non-fusing device
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
Well, you can always flash ZV7 or lower, and if you don't have a brick, you have a non-fusing device :P

On a serious note, I am looking to see how that is determined. It isn't pulled from the firmware, because the devices that I have checked all have some ARB version in the firmware, and yet ARB isn't respected.

Also, a non-fusing device can be turned into a fusing device via some method, but I don't believe the opposite is true. However, as long as the device reports non-fusing, ARB is ignored.

-- Brian
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] deathrowz_sri:
I got unlocked & rooted H910 running 10T and it says "non-fusing device'. This would be a treat if Oreo increments ARB and we are still able to flash it without having second thoughts!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
My H910 is also non-fusing. I am starting to think that all H910s are non-fusing and that is why AT&T hasn't incremented ARB -- they can't. There is no way to change from a non-fusing to fusing via firmware, it requires a firehose.

Anyone that has a non-fusing device can safely take any update they want, ARB will never be incremented.

EDIT: also you can run any firmware you want (if it will actually work on your device -- except H918 -- different RSA key there). As a test, I took an LS997 ZV8 modem (ARB 1) and flashed it on my H910. Under normal circumstances that would have incremented ARB, and I would have had a brick since the rest of the firmware was ARB 0. As it was, it just boot looped because it didn't like the modem. I flashed the H910 modem back, and all was good.

-- Brian
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] toastyp:
My h910 shows the antirollback version as 0 instead of non-fusing device. So maybe only some h910's are non-fusing?

Also I'm currently running full stock so I do not have the eng aboot installed.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] me2151:
pretty sure its related to the aboot. I ran zv8 all arb1 except i had the eng aboot installed.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
Very interesting. I flashed my H910 back to stock, so no engineering aboot, and it is still non-fusing. So there are definitely phones that don't have the "respect ARB security" qfuse blown.

But it looks like maybe the engineering aboot may ignore it. So now the question is, if you have the engineering aboot installed, and you flash a higher ARB boot stack, does ARB get incremented?

Another question is what happens if you are ARB 1 or 2 and install the engineering aboot? As far as I can tell, it will work with any ARB version, but I have no way to test that since I have an H910 that is ARB 0 even if it wasn't non-fusing, and an H918 that can't use it.

More questions than answers. Lol.

-- Brian
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] JustZaphod:
It's been a while for me and I have a H918 that is running a rooted H91810p rom, I'm thinking my ARB is still 0, I want to install Super Rom 4.0 but I'm hesitating because I just don't want to brick my phone.. What is the current ARB for my model or how can I find it in my Hidden Menu settings..

Thank you in advance..
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] KUSOsan:
Im 99% sure that 10P is arb1 as I remember 10k was the last arb0 firmware. You could always just flash the latest stock ROM that dimmock is hosting in here somewhere. 10u is latest but I think he still had about 2 more versions behind that. It's an easy zip you flash in TWRP that is modified so it doesn't flash stock recovery
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] JustZaphod:
Yeah, I checked the Service Menu and noticed it was ARB 1...

I just forgot how to get into that Hidden Menu...

It was on the December security patch, but, I defaulted the phone to see if that would fix the issue and I'm back on October security patch with Android 7.1.1.

[General Questions and Answers] kubczi:
Hello,

two years ago I accidentally took my S5 for a swim, after the accident phone was resting for 18 months in a drawer. Unfortunately I cracked my next phone so S5 is now my daily driver. Everything is working fine except screen colors, everything has a yellow/grey tint and display is a lot dimmer, especially on black colors. One time when phone got really hot screen started to work just fine, all colors regent to normal but it lasted only for a few minutes, so I assumed it was heat related.

4 days ago without any reason my screen somehow healed itself and screen started to work properly again, I couldn't believe how it was possible. Unfortunately after 4 days with perfect colors, blacks was truly black and brightness was fully working screen return to the damaged state.

Does anyone know how it was possible, what actually happened and is there any way to fix it again?
