'Unsupported/Unknown image format' error when installing Magisk on Xperia X with TWRP

Hi,

I am trying to install Magisk on Xperia X(Suzu) running Stock Android (8.0) using latest TWRP 3.3.1 and I hit the error ''Unsupported/Unknown image format'. These are the logs I see:

- Device platform: arm64-v8a

- Copying image to cache

- Unpacking boot image

! Unsupported/Unknown image format

! Installation failed

Also, I would like to share that I did not allow TWRP to modify the system partition. I opted to keep the system partition 'Read Only'. The reason I did this is that whenever I allow TWRP to modify the system partition, I get stuck at the SONY boot logo and my phone would not boot and I need to reflash the stock ROM again.

Any pointers to solve this issue is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Karthik

If you haven't unlock your bootloader it's normal that modifying system partition bootloop your phone. Also magisk change the boot IMG and I don't think it's possible to use if system partition is read only (but I'm not sure about it, you should ask in the magisks thread or make a new one tho because I don't think is a twrp issue)
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] yns_rdm:
It looks like problem from boot image. If you want to use magisk you need to flash rootable image first. And you can find it in the xda forum (i found under Guides News Discussions topic). First flash rootable boot than flash magisk. (+ When i flashed stock rootable kernel and magisk, it stay on bootloop. Solution was flash drm restoration.)
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Karthik.V.M:
Thanks yns_rdm for the pointers. So I think I should try to flash a rooted kernel. You also said that if we flash stock rootable kernel, we need to flash drm restoration. When I try to modify the contents of the system folder in my stock ROM by mounting as rw using TWRP, I think I am trying to root the kernel. So on this case as you suggested I need to do drm restoration to avoid boot loop. How to flash drm restoration? Any tutorials in XDA?

Thanks for your time and pointers,

Karthik

Thanks ParanoidNemo for the pointers. FYI I have unlocked the bootloader. From TWRP if I modify the system folder of my stock ROM then I end up with bootloop. I will double check with Magisk thread about this.

Thanks,

Karthik

Hi,

Thanks for the job.

With Xperia X last rom stock, all is ok with TWRP 3.6.x

But with 3.7.x, I have an infinite boot loop :(

Install of LineageOS 18.x is ok

But with LineageOS 19.x or 20.x : If you don't format the data partition, you will be asked a android boot password (which ?) to continue (is the partition is encrypted by default ?)

Regards.

Hi,

when flash recovery file tarp 3.6.x or 3.7.x nothing happens after reboot only the white SONY start screen or the screen switch to black appears. I tried several different twrp versions always the same behavior. Any suggestions?

Greetings
[Sony Xperia X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] MikeWH:
I got the same issue when I flashed the 3.7.0. The last version with display is twrp-3.6.0_9-0-20211115-suzu.zip which does not support FBE. Currently, I'm using lineageOS recovery extracted from lineage-20.0-20230416-UNOFFICIAL-suzu.zip.

The new

development

image of TWRP 3.7.0 (12-2) is available!

It contains the latest TWRP fixes and improvements.

Also added support for LED indicator during charging (thanks to me-cafebabe for charger_led daemon).

For anyone who has issues with Android 13. please pay attention: it has already been stated that currently only unofficial versions 3.7.0-12-X support both FBE/FDE encryption methods, so older and official versions cannot decrypt FBE from A13.

Hello, I'm new to this forum but can someone explain to me if it is possible to install Samsung Edge Screen app in Stock ROM (no root)?

I tried installing different versions from APKMirror but they didn't install, it says there's already a package installed with the same name.

Edit: I was able to install this version. The option showed up in Settings > Display > Edge Screen but it crashes everytime I tap on it, do I need root for this to work?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Nisaki-Chan:

Hello

I tried to add my Broadlink RM Mini3 to Google Assistant. While doing so, I was asked to install an app named IHC (Intelligent Home Center). I could install the app, but when asked to enter my region, it just said (I figure the OS said it) "No permission". I tried to give IHC all permissions, but still get the same message.

Does anyone have an idea of why?

I solved it. The problem is the rights to the data partition.

Here’s how to do it:

Root the tablet/phone

Get a root filemanager from play store.

Go to the root directory

Edit the rights for /data

Then IHC will allow you to select your region.

There is no android tv version (that works other than on firetv)

You can use the mobile version

You will need sia to install it

You will also need set orientation to keep it in landscape mode

https://m.apkpure.com/set-orientation/com.googlecode.eyesfree.setorientation

And you'll need a mouse - physical or virtual

Once app is open accept conditions and use mouse to touch the screen

The menu will then be accessible

Hi everyone, I am new to rooting and custom Rom flashing. My question is that is it possible to flash bootloader with twrp? I have a exynos s7 and it has been rooted. I have accessed twrp too. After January update the bootloader has been changed (updated) and now you cannot downgrade to android 6 with the bootloader (only Rom of Android 6 can be installed but bootloader will be of Android 7). So I was thinking of changing the bootloader!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] audit13:
Trying to downgrade the boot loader could hard brick the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Hedi.Karray:

Could or would ?

Is there some cases with hard bricked phones reported ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] audit13:
Search around, not just the s7 forum but all Samsung forums starting with the s3.

Samsung bootloaders for some of the USA carriers are locked. In cases where the bootloader is unlocked, it does not mean the bootloader can be downgraded to an earlier version.

Thanks for killing all my devices........
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AnonVendetta:
This has been known for quite awhile, it's not new news (although the referenced Twitter post is recent). He sold the rights to SuperSU to CCMT quite some time ago. I think SuperSU and his other apps will still be updated, but by CCMT, not him. He long ago stated that he has been looking to distance himself from his projects. I guess he just wants to move on and have a life outside of Android, I can understand his viewpoint.

My only hope is that SuperSU will become open source, it has always been closed source thusfar. We now have flourishing projects like Magisk that are open source and doing well, despite its' issues (the ones I've had with it anyway). There is a lesser known root method called Phh's Superuser that is also open source, though not nearly as popular as Magisk or SuperSU. I think SuperSU would do well to open its' code and let the world contribute to it so that it can be further improved.

I wish [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] the best of luck.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Choose an username...:
that's probably the exact opposite of what'll happen. you usually don't buy code to make it open source (Not that I do that, but I don't find the logic in it

As of now Magisk is way better unless you want simple su. I have no intentions on going back to crappy flashable zips for add-ons after using Magisk's module system.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AnonVendetta:
Yeah, I'm sure some money changed hands between Chainfire and CCMT, it's just wishful thinking. I really don't care that much whether the code is open or closed, I'm sure CCMT will keep updating SuperSU even without Chainfire around. Whether Magisk is better is a matter of opinion, I've had numerous issues with it (which I do believe I already discussed with you in another thread). Every time I've used Magisk it has eventually caused problems. I'm a traditionalist, I only need a simple su, one that just works, SuperSU meets that need and has always worked well for me for the most part. Everywhere I read here on XDA, I see people pushing Magisk. I don't care about systemless, passing SafetyNet, hiding root, etc. To me it's all just superfluous extras, for me I'm happy with a reliable root solution that does *ONLY* that, and does it well.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Choose an username...:
Then maybe phh's superuser?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AnonVendetta:
[MENTION=7799420]Choose an username...[/MENTION]: I still use Phh on several devices. But it doesn't work with Oreo on the A7, it can't patch the boot image in TWRP. Also tried with FlashFire. It worked fine on the A7 on Nougat.

Phh is the most reliable and fastest root solution I've tried. But it does have a few downsides. Like no automatic su.d script execution support (although you can set it to do so manually on a per script basis, via a simple command). I like that with SuperSU I can just drop my scripts in a su.d folder and they will be automatically ran at boot.

[MENTION=1915408]phhusson[/MENTION] has also stated that work on his project has halted and there will be no updates for the foreseeable future. He even goes as far as recommending Magisk for those that want a frequently updated open source solution. If I knew how to code then maybe I would consider picking up the torch and forking his project. I have beginner level coding experience in a few languages but I'm relatively green.

Another thing I've noticed is that with an Oreo ROM installed, I can't seem to flash certain zip files in TWRP. Like [MENTION=5423715]YashdSaraf[/MENTION]'s BusyBox. Or other BusyBox zips. Also had trouble with some Viper zips not flashing. And a handful of others. They don't error out, they just hang and never finish flashing. I never had issues flashing zips on older Android versions. I've tried with [MENTION=5672995]jcadduono[/MENTION]'s official TWRP, and [MENTION=5492451]NFound[/MENTION]'s unofficial TWRP. I can only conclude that this is related to Oreo. As a workaround I use FlashFire with SuperSU v2.82 SR5, installed in SBIN mode. With this zips flash correctly. I have tested FlashFire with the latest Magisk versions. FlashFire claims to have been successful, but when I reboot back into Android my changes are nowhere to be found. It is as if Magisk deflects the changes away from the system partition and dumps them into a digital black hole. Magisk Manager works fine for flashing Magisk zips but not for others.

Just felt like I had to elaborate a bit more so you understand my reasoning for avoiding Magisk.

[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] RaiderWill:
IMO.. Treble is more "Vendor-Friendly" than "User-Friendly" .

There is so much to dissect when it comes to the 7x.. why has Honor not released Nougat Firmware? this device was announced October of 17' and released December of 17'.. yet nothing.

Why did they *really* pull the bootloader-unlock page.. :confused:

I'm sure, you'll see the Carbon, Linage, RR ROM's officially ported over eventually.. But you will not see the good old fashion "Developer Support" with the 7x. I mean not just ports but Kernel development.. and to be honest,

That's where you speed increases, better battery life, user-adjustable governors and features come from.. more so than any port is going to afford you.

That's where the 7x and it's Kirin Engine fall short.

Take a look at Moto G5 Plus thread ( I had one of those but @ 5.2 inches I did not like the screen size ) and just look at the development the Snapdragon 625 has gotten.. Even the Snapdragon 636 is already seeing a lot of love.. and seems like the perfect Price / Performance Engine for 2018.

The 7x is a good device.. just not a popular one. :cool:

[Android Head-Units] mamba76:
Hi all. Id thought Id start another thread regarding the SQ of this device.

Iv always used Alpine Head Units for last 20 years but bit the bullet and bought this device to try and bring my ICE into the future a bit.

My system is HU - RCA's - C-DSP6x8 - RCA's - 3xJL amps - Focal Utopias (6w2/TN51)/2x JL ZR800's/1x JL 13W3

+ a shed load of experience with Room EQ wizard and at least 2 years of my life I won't get back!

In comparison I can say the SQ of the pumpkin sucks, also a bit of ground noise I never had before.

Will a USB DAC work with this unit?

Which one? I read a thread where someone used a USB to SPDIF converter board with Texas instruments chip on board, very simple which is good and cost less than a tenner from Amazon! then there's dragonfly dongles, then there's miniDSP's MiniDAC8. Price range between £10 & £200

Also I was always under the impression if you use a digital signal from your source unit you cannot control the volume from that source unit as bits and bytes cannot be attenuated so the volume control would be from the DSP(via the wired remote)

Can anyone suggest a tried and tested setup for getting a clean signal from this source to my DSP that wont break the bank, (Bit One out of the question) I think Iv spent enough on my system now as its probably worth more than my car! (B7 audi a4 3.0tdi)
