[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Battousai1:
Hi guys, quick question, I want to install Magisk, the guide I found lets you install Magisk and lets you retain OTA updates so that is good. Now the guide instructs you to install March and April security patch.

This is the xda link: https://xdaforums.com/mi-a1/how-to/root-mi-a1-oreo-8-0-disabling-ota-magisk-t3728654

The question is, what if you are already have April 2018 security patch by default on your Mi A1, do you still need to install those two patches according to the guide? If not then how can you install Magisk without re-installing those patch?

Another question is, there are other guide that advises you to install custom recovery such as TWRP to install Magisk, what is the advantage of having a custom recovery over installijg Magisk via fastboot?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Battousai1:
Thanks panostheodorakis7! I finally able to install Magisk and then Xposed systemless SDK 26 within Magisk. I then noticed that there is no Xposed appa available, I tried to install the modified APK and then finally saw the Xposed app.

My question is, what is the use of installing the systemless Xposed within Magisk and what is the logic why we need to install the systemless and then install the APK to enable the app?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Saswata Chakraborty:
When you install Xposed framework on Magisk, it doesn't mess with System partition which means it won't break OTA updates. Anything that you flash on Magisk, stays on /Magisk. But anything that you flash on twrp, stays on /System.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
Not 100% true, depends on what you're flashing in TWRP. For example Magisk itself, Magisk modules or custom kernels with stock Wifi drivers won't touch System partition at all. Also do NOT allow System modifications in TWRP as it will break OTA immediately.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Battousai1:
Thanks Rowdyy Ronnie, ok so installing the modified Xposed APK file doesn't touch the /System? because at first I don't understand the logic why we need to install the Magisk Xposed module and then we still need to install the APK. What is the difference between the Magisk Xposed module and the Xposed APK?

Lastly, I noticed that when I installed Magisk, you need to make a command "fastboot boot patched_boot.img" is this command the one that roots the device? or is it the Magisk Manager APK?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Saswata Chakraborty:
First, You flash Xposed framework to make your device Xposed compatible and then you use the Xposed Installer app to install xposed modules.

Second, Magisk root your device by patching the boot image (Unlike SuperSu which modifies System partition). So when you type fastboot boot patched_boot.img, you are booting the device into patched boot image instead of stock boot image and thus gaining root access. You can also just boot your device into twrp and flash magisk zip file instead of patching the boot image manually. And Magisk manager is just an app to control root access and allow you to flash magisk modules. But it doesn't root your device.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Battousai1:
Thanks Rowdyy Ronnie for the quick reply, now it make sense. :)

BEFORE STARING ANYTHING... I'd like to give full credit to this post here, as these are the guys that have found this, i'm just making it spread out more to the public -

LINK from JoseVega's Post: https://xdaforums.com/android/general/guides-android-8-0-oreo-mods-thread-t3772017/page6

Link from another post with some explanation: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76403772&postcount=7065

To make it easier to understand i'll be rewriting the steps as this has worked for me.

Let's say you had to go back to stock you flashed all the correct carrier stuff and correct firmware for your device, and you're one of the unlucky few of people that are affected by the OEM issue (Including me)

Step 1: Like i said literally just earlier make sure you have flashed the correct stock firmware for your device.

Step 2: Change the date 8 days prior to today (e.g Lets say it is 18/05/2018(AUSTRALIA TIME FORMAT) you would change it to the 10/05/2018(AUSTRALIA TIME FORMAT)

Step 3: Go to software update and check for an update, make sure the date "Last checked" is set to the date, you set earlier.

Step 4: Reboot (Not sure if needed)

Step 5: Change the date back to the actual date of the present day

Step 6: Check for another software update and make sure the "Last Checked" is set to the present day

Step 7: Go to Developer Options (Tap 7 times on build number...)

And now OEM Unlock should be present, this worked for me and has worked for other people.

Happy Flashing :D

P.S According to some reports instead of 7 days try 30 days may work may not have fun :D

**** it worked! But only after my phone was updated to the latest firmware CRE.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xxiForza:
Im on CRDF i have tried multiple times but without success.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] i23u8:
Okay here is what I did. I downgraded to the 1 version lower than the current 1 then set the date back 8 days then proceeded with the software OTA update, after the update, it showed my last update check time as May 22 and last install update as May 22. I then changed the date back to automatic update date and time, restarted, checked updated againnlike 2 or 3 times and enabled developer options and OEM Unlock was there after 5 minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xxiForza:
Sorry if this is a noob question but, i dont really know what bootloader is a 1 version behind that the one that i have....sorry for any bad typing my english sometimes are bad xD
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] i23u8:
You can go to sammobile and look for your csc in Note 8 firmware and see which firmware is the version before what you are currently using.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xxiForza:
Well my carrier jumped from Nougat direcly to Oreo with the bootloader that i currently have...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] i23u8:
Sorry for the late reply, have you downloaded that Nougat version and flashed it thru Odin then followed the steps to change date then Update to latest version then change back the date?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xxiForza:
I tried some time ago but it failed the downgrade to Nougat...im thinking abou trying again just in case...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] i23u8:
Okay might as well try another CSC on the same bootloader version as you (Oreo). You can try my region, GLB, N950FXXU3CRD6. Then update to the latest OTA version once booted?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheUndertaker21:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stewykam:
What if I already enabled Dev options but it's not there, will this method still work?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sefrcoko:
It removes the waiting period to get the OEM unlock toggle back, so it shouldn't reset your timer. It's meant to make the phone think the time has passed.

It just suddenly disappeared? Have you tried a reboot? If it's not a timer issue then I don't think this method would solve that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stewykam:
No... It never showed up at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sefrcoko:
Have you already tried flashing original firmware and waiting 7 days?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nelson04:
No working For me ... do you have any other idea other than waiting 7 days in jail?.....I had already updated my phone two updates you think you should try it from the first firmware???....please help me
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] i23u8:
I just got jailed today and the steps worked for me again. Stil downgraded to a lower version, set the date 9 days ago, restarted phone, updated to latest version, then set the date back to auto update restarted, checked update again, enabled developer options and in 5 mins I got OEM unlock back.

One thing I noticed is when my CSC didnt match the original i.e it showed XEF/XEF/GLB, oem unlock didnt show up no matter what I did. So I had to factory reset thru stock recovery, then inserted my original sim card, then restarted then chose the 2nd option when to reset phone in order to use carrier features that reset phone, that set csc back to GLB/GLB/GLB then followed the steps again to get oem unlock back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stonedpsycho:
First time I tried this today it worked. 2nd, 3rd, 4th time didnt?

What works best for me is to remove the sim card and factory reset. When the phone has booted up and you are setting it up, change the date then, then check for a software update. Then turn the phone off, put the sim back in, when the phone boots up again the time should change back to normal automatically and OEM toggle should be there
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Anonymalious:
Thanks a mil! I think your method worked partially for me. But what was different was that I had the TPA firmware which was probably not the original firmware my device had. I went and install XOM because the Samsung account email told me that's what the firmware was. So you MUST have the proper firmware. I checked for software update after I set the clock back 8 days. Rebooted, popped in the sim and updated over WIFI and voila!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] immortel_la:
tks a million man, all other method without factory reset doesn't work for me. which give me nightmare the whole yesterday.

i should point out that i don't need to put the sim back in, the phone automatically turns back to normal time after resetting.

my exact method is just like u said:

1. remove the sim card, factory reset

2. on setup screen, log in wifi, skip gmail, skip samsung account, skip the additional apps, set the time back 1 month (twice, because s8 will try to correct the time immediately)

3. untick automatically update, then check for update manually. then restart

4. sim card still out, phone self correct time, check for update manually again, then restart.

5. sim card still out, turn on developer mode, go on developer mode, wait 5 seconds n oem unlock is there.

Agreed I can confirm on my Note 9 with the August 1 patch this does not work. And I'm pretty sure it's been over 7 days since I activated my N9. I was beginning to wonder if using my Verizon SIM in my unlocked N9 was causing my lack of OEM Unlock option.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zangetsu156:
I have a SM-N950F with stock firm out of the box it is exynos version I attempted the method from the first post and it didnt work so I decided to try it again except this time I didnt reboot my phone I simply changed the date to 8 days prior from today and then went into dev settings since I had already turned it on and the OEM unlock bottom was there and I was able to toggle it as well. if it helps as well my phones current bootloader is N950FXXU4CRGA The CSC is N950FOXM4CRGA. I hope this helps even if its a little

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DJBhardwaj:
So, this completely bypasses the RMM state or simply unhides the OEM unlocking toggle?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sefrcoko:
The method described in OP is for unhiding the toggle without waiting the 7 days. There's a separate workaround for bypassing rmm afterwards, either as a standalone zip or part of some custom roms.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lil_kujo:
for my note 8 also i doesnt work even after the seven days its actually showed up two weeks after i activated my phone. there is a very good guide on xda thattalks about getting rid of it and explains why is it that samsung is putting it harder. in short its a new security measure from samsung to prtoect your phone and make it harder to get flashed once its stolen, on download mode you will see a RMM state=prenormal that means the OEM unlocked future is missing until the RMM STATE=normal which use to happend in seven days then its hosw up that guide has a very good tutorial and zip file to get rid of it even after flashing a custom rom.

For those that not work, this work for me on note 8 n950f/ds

1) I use odin flash stock lastest rom crha

2) I removed sim card.

3) Turn phone on, do setup do NOT connect to wifi, make it unable to connect to internet and set date 8 days back.

4) Set update time to manual, set auto update system to off(dev menu) and set download update automatically(in software update) to off too

5) Connect to wifi and immediately go check for update. Once it says latest update just immediately reboot

6) Once reboot check time is current correct time and connect wifi and check for update. Once it says latest update, check if unlock is available. (Mine straight available) If unavailable, try a restart, If still unavailable, probably my method dont work for you

7) Unlock and reboot to odin and start flashing

Note: I do not login to google or samsung account or have a sim install at any point of time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] i23u8:
F*ck instead of previously just 7 days, it now takes 30 days for oem unlock to show up. Followed the same steps and made 7-day incremental date rollbacks, 7 15 21 28 days didnt work and oem unlock only after setting 35 days back. Gosh samsung.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] i23u8:
Removed sim and microsd, flashed the newest firmware with 4 tar files, rebooted phone, skipped setup, went to settings, disabled auto update date time, changed date back to -35 days, connected to wifi, checked the date is still -35 days, manually checked for software updates and made sure I see the message "Registering device", waited for the update check to finish. Made sure the last update check was -35 days. Rebooted. Checked the date is now current. Checked that the last update check was -35 days. Made another update check. Waited for it to finish and made sure it now says current date. Enabled developer options and OEM unlock is there. Did this successfully 6 times already.

Note 8 Exynos HUN OEM and FRP lock extreme situation help

Hi!

Smart thought. But it doesn't work for me. Oreo 8.0 is on the note 8 and closed the first launch. My old email address, which I used the phone for half a year, has been a nickname because I don't have an email address already. This phone has never been synced with another address. What to do in this case? OEM and FRP locked by my google friend, I've tried them all. None of them helped. Unfortunately, it doesn't even let you into the menu. Similar methods have not helped solve the problem: https: //youtu.be/PHwbRo3XuqI
