[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] dmachine2:
I was following the guide at:

https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-pixel-xl-android-8-1oreo-unlock-t3715279

I started with a Pixel XL 7.2, unlocked, magisk, etc. I uninstalled magisk, updated all OTA updates, and then began the thread above.

I followed 6 - Extract boot.img from Fcatory Image and fastboot boot.img

The continued with 7 - Root with Magisk

booted to twrp, flashed twrp, no issues.

Rebooted to recovery, flashed elementalX kernel 3.04, and added magisk v16.3

No errors

Rebooted phone, and upon boot, got a message:

"there's an internal problem with your device"

From what I've read, that is not really an issue and has something to do with some things not matching, so, an update to magisk in the future will resolve it. So no big deal.

However, I don't see magisk manager, and have no root.

I reboot back to recovery, uninstall magisk manager, and reboot phone.

Still get the internal problem message, but no big deal.

I reboot back to recovery, and try flashing magisk again.

Still no manager, still no root (from root checker).

I try installing the magisk manager app directly, but, the APK cannot install, and just gives a generic error message of "app not installed".

Reboot to recovery, uninstall magisk again, wipe cache. Reboot, still same internal problem message.

Try to flash magisk 16.0 instead, repeat the above, and still no root, and can't install APK.

So, just kind of stuck at this point. Phone tells me that elementalx installed without an issue though, so, just seems like magisk is the last step. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] noidea24:
The message you get upon boot is from the kernel, nothing to do with magisk. not that it matters, it doesnt affect anything.

According to EX thread and EX's official websites "How to install" guide, you are supposed to install magisk first. Thats how i do it.

what you need to do is......

Reflash the stock factory boot img and let it boot.

Reboot to bootloader flash or boot twrp, and install magisk.

Reboot let it boot all the way.

Then reboot to bootloader flash/boot twrp and install EX.

Reboot.

Double post, sorry, butt.......

https://elementalx.org/how-to-install/

Read part one step three.

"3. Root your device (optional)

If you would like root access to your device, install SuperSU or Magisk. This should be done before installing ElementalX. Other root methods are NOT recommended. Root access will give you full control over your device and allow you to change kernel settings and tweak your device. To install SuperSU or Magisk, download to your device, reboot to recovery and install the zip you downloaded. Make sure you reboot into your system after the installation process completes. Ensure that root is correctly installed and working.

At this step, I usually make a backup of the stock rooted kernel. Now that you are rooted, you can do this very easily in EX Kernel Manager by selecting Tools->Kernel backup. This will save the boot.img."
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] dmachine2:
Thank you for the help, will try it when I get a chance. The guide that I was following said for elementalx, flash kernel first. For exnoshadez, to do magisk first, for other kernels, do kernel first. I had read that some kernels need to go first, while others magisk needed to go first, and since that guide was specifically oreo, I thought kernel was first. But, thanks! Will try going back to factory boot image and progressing through.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] dmachine2:
So, I flashed back to stock boot.img, booted twrp, flashed twrp, and flashed magisk. But, Magisk still did not show up. I tried installing the magisk manager apk, but still get "App not installed" when trying that. At least the "there's an internal problem with your device" message went away.

Any other ideas on what to check when flashing, or why it's not "taking"?

Thanks again for the help.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] dmachine2:
Found out the problem:

Had to do:

adb uninstall com.topjohnwu.magisk

The key here was that I was upgrading from 7.2 to 8.1, and in the uninstall of magisk, I guess it left some remnant behind which prevented it from installing the new version.

The way I discovered this was trying to use adb to install the magisk manager apk, and that gave me the error:

adb: failed to install MagiskManager-v5.7.0.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE: Package com.topjohnwu.magisk signatures do not match the previously installed version; ignoring!]

Then, I simply uninstalled it, then flashed using twrp again, and it worked fine.

Hi everyone,

Is your bl unlocked? And do you have twrp? If yes, then just flash a custom ROM and don't care about miui. If you don't have it, try to contact Xiaomi support and explain to them why you lost your account and prove to the that the account is yours.
[General Questions and Answers] shenjitzu:
Hi, I’m new in this forum and I’m a very beginner. I have a Tp-link C5 max (702C) [rooted] and I want to upgrade from Android 5.1 to 7.1.2. but there’s no official upgrade (and may be never) or customs ROMs for the device. I think that it is possible but I don’t know how.

After a little research I concluded that I need “port” a ROM or “customize” my own ROM. Is that correct? If it’s, could you help me telling me exactly what to change and how? If not, any idea to do that?

Thanks a lot

[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fourkane:
Hello, I have a big problem.

I have installed Lineage OS, no problem for the installation, the ROM works fine, but but I wanted to come back to Android 4.4.2 with the firmware flash. Since that moment, the tablet starts on a BIOS and I can no longer access the Recorvery, I have an updater binary error when I flash firmware with a TWRP session. I deleted /System and Internal Storage to see if I could reflash afterwards, but the damn BIOS is still there.

(By the way, if I leave the tablet plugged into the BIOS, will it load?)

Do you have any solutions, someone would have been there at some point?

I look forward to your answers.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gleefulalkali:
Hi all,

Fed up of waiting for security updates in retgb, still on November 2017 patch level, I used the Motorola OTA link generator tool at https://motoota.lolinet.com to generate links for reteu. I grabbed the January, March and April (released in the last few hours!) 2018 patches, applying each in turn. I'm now on NPNS25.137-93-10. All installed without issue using

adb sideload

and I've had no radio issues after the update (2G / 3G / 4G all happy, GPS fine etc). As expected this still leaves me on retgb, but future manual updates / auto updates when retgb catches up will work.

For reference, these are the build details I'm running -

Thought I'd share this here in case anybody else was fed up of waiting. After reading that UK orders for the G5 Plus resulted in some people getting reteu devices direct from Motorola, and as this procedure worked without rooting and without any build number / verification issues, I thought I'd give it a go.

Still won't get us Oreo but at least reteu isn't totally forgotten by Motorola!

As an aside, I also stumbled upon the 4G / GPS problem commands -

fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2

I ran these to be doubly sure I didn't have a mismatch between installed and cached modem firmware. I can confirm I ran these commands and haven't lost 2G / 3G / 4G / GPS connectivity. Some people report loss of connectivity on other devices but from what I can gather modemst1 and modemst2 are cached, and rebuilt from the modem partition / NON-HLOS.bin.

P.S. Can anybody recommend a good custom ROM? Lineage and Pixel Experience seem to be the best. I need a ROM which passes SafetyNet and camera quality and battery life comparable to stock.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Smeagal192:
Wondered when someone from the UK would comment about lack of updates, nice workaround.

Just out of interest which network are you on, mines O2, was going to post on the Motorola forum, see why retgb phones seem to be outside the update system, maybe this is all down too brexit lol
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] AkshayK1316:
Which Details did you use is motoota.lolinet.com I mean model,software version,carrier as if i try it gives me no ota available can you share the final ota file as I am currently on NPNS25.137-93-8 and I just need 1 ota to get there
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gleefulalkali:
I'm on TPO, but I've switched a few times. My G5 Plus was bought direct from Motorola last May. Doesn't seem to have any link to network, they just ignore retgb! My wife has a Nokia 5 and that's been running Oreo for months. Although the Motorola G range is great value, the lack of updates and difference between the release channels mean I won't be buying again. As soon as LineageOS have an official potter build I'll be switching to that.

Model (ro.product.model)

Moto G (5) Plus

Software version (ro.build.version.full)

Blur_Version.25.321.12.potter.retail.en.US

Carrier (ro.carrier)

reteu

You will need to retrieve your current ro.build.version.full from

getprop

in the ADB shell, the number above is the latest version with the April 2018 patch. Only use reteu if you are on retgb / retus / retapac.

I do believe that your not completely understanding what I had posted and why. I don't know, personally, how to root your specific device because I've never had this device nor any Mediatek devices.

I'll try to explain this a bit differently. :thumbup:

I had provided you with that link so you can "obtain some member guidance"...

I had meant that you can post your question within that thread to see if there's any members there who can provide you with some help.

Also, your device is a Mediatek MT6750T. There's many other devices that also has this specific Chipset as well and the root for those Chipsets may likely (not guaranteed) work for your device as well.

The following thread is for rooting Mediatek MT67xx devices. The "xx" indicates that its for most/all Mediatek devices that begins with "MT67". You can take a look and even post your question for some member guidance there as well.

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3510695

You can ask something like...

"I have an Oukitel U18 with an MT6750T Chipset. Will this guide work for that Chipset as well?

If not, can you please help guide me to a thread that will work with this Chipset?"

... or something similar.

You also should keep in mind that, stating something short and to the point may be okay for some questions but, many times you may need to elaborate a bit more about what you are asking for.

I do wish you the best of luck!!! :cool:

Waiting for a fastboot device...

Well, the communication with the 'net seems to work as intended but that is where it stops:

[18:01:15][INFO ] Starting login procedure
[18:01:24][INFO ] Login procedure succeeded
[18:01:25][INFO ] Checking account unlock permission
[18:01:27][INFO ] Unlock permission confirmed
[18:01:27][INFO ] Waiting for a fastboot device

Using the fastboot command line works for the same user account so this won't be solved by running the tool as root. The device reports itself as 18d1:d00d Google Inc. and shows up clearly when using the fastboot command line tool:

$ fastboot devices
deadbeef	fastboot

(no, my device ID is not deadbeef)

Tried OpenJDK 10 and 9, Oracle JRE 8, no difference.

Digging deeper using strace shows the problem: the 'special' fastboot command you include (in bin/MiUnlockTool_res) is a 64-bit executable while I'm running the tool on a 32-bit machine. Substituting the provided tool for a link to the version already present on this machine makes the command progress to the error:
