[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] DampDeceiver:
Hello again good people,

You may remember me asking questions in this forum recently, thank you again for all those who replied.

I'm back again after waiting for the official twrp to be released and reading all the forum posts in the guides section for the threads about twrpless-root (magisk) and the stickied twrp root guide by Funk Wizard. I am still a bit confused about a couple of things though. And still deciding which way is the best for me now that I still have a stock device. Please correct any mistakes I make.

When I root, in case something goes wrong, I cannot do a system settings -> factory reset. (Because it would softbrick?)

Is this where twrp comes in? Or will I still have to flash a stock image regardless, like I would if I go twrpless?

Is it true that I can make, and restore from a backup I make with twrp in case something goes wrong?

Isn't that something I can also do with Titanium Backup?

Twrpless root seems like it's a lot more easy to maintain with OTA's (download from the settings, reinstall magisk on second partition) than a twrp install would (having to connect my device to my pc and going through the steps again every time an OTA gets pushed).

The main reason I'm asking all these questions is because I still find it hard to pinpoint exactly why more experienced people in these forums favor one way or the other, and what exactly the added benefit would be of twrp in my situation. Personally, I want my phone to be more customizable (black theme, adaway, yt vanced and so on) but keep all the functionality. Banking apps, wifi, cellular and everything.

I'm not going to install custom roms. And a little bit of added ease of use with OTA sounds really good to me.

I have read that the systemless magisk twrpless might be the best fit for my needs, but after hearing your advice from my previous questionthread I decided to wait for twrp. Now twrp official is released and I dove into reading just about everything I could find I have doubts if it is something I actually need. In short I just keep swaying without being able to make a decision.

Sorry for the long post, I hope my questions are clear enough, since it's pretty late when I'm typing this. I just want to be thoroughly informed about all of this, I rather post too many questions and root correctly without concerns instead of having to make an SOS post later when my phone has exploded, lol.

And maybe there will be other newlings who can benefit from this information.

Thanks for reading!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dgunn:
Ok lets first address the types of backups.

Type one is system apps and data. This backup saves all apps (apk) and all data that is stored within the app folders. This is a Titanium backup.

Type two is a Nandroid backup. This backup saves your entire phones data including the internal storage, data, apps, pictures, music, cache, settings, passwords, EFS (encrypted file system) and even the Titanium backups backup itself.

Now let me explain what each of these backups are capable of. First we will start with Titanium Backup. If for some reason you brick your phone and lose all of your data. In order to use Titanium Backup you will have to install your operating system, unlock your bootloader, root your phone, install Titanium Backup and merge your data from wherever you have it to your device and install your apps + data one at a time.

Nandroid backup. Same scenario bricking or losing your data. You can simply fastboot the twrp.img once your phone boots into recovery you can merge nandroid backup point TWRP to the restore location and you have your operating system and all of your data back in place as if nothing happened. You will then flash Magisk back to your device then you would install TWRP clear your cache and once you reboot everything is just the way it was when you created the nandroid backup.

Installing an update with TWRP is as simple as downloading the update and flashing both the update and Magisk, clearing cache and rebooting.

Having TWRP would allow you to wipe and reinstall fresh like factory settings or you can restore everything you backed up.

Make Nandroid backups bi-weekly or monthly so you can always have an updated copy of your data.

Titanium backups I have scheduled once a week with 2 max backups. Why 2? If I update an app and my backup runs tomorrow I would be stuck with an app update that may be broken. This way I have the previous weeks backup to reinstall the app and data with.

Whichever you choose always always always keep redundant backups. One on the phone, one on your computer, one on a thumb drive ect ect.

Hey guys, I recently had an accident while trying to install stock firmware on my device. I tried to manually install a stock firmware ROM and in the middle of it the device just shut of. What I'm left with is a device which doesn't have fastboot or any other method of recovery other then through some qualcomm tools. The driver shows up as "qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008" on my computer. I tried following this guide https://www.droidsavvy.com/unbrick-qualcomm-mobiles/ and concluded that I'm stuck on the old hard brick and tried to follow the instructions but the problem here is that I don't think that I have the correct ROM file for QFIL because the firmware are zip files and not mbn as I think they are supposed to be. If anyone could help me with this in any way I'd really appreciate it, Thank you!

You created MIUI Camera Mod?

I wonder what are the new features you added?

I really like MIUI camera, it's better than Gcam for daylight and selfie photo.

Except the night photo. Gcam with exposure +8 is truly amazing. As it has longer exposure up to 5-10 seconds.

I wonder if it can be replicated on MIUI camera too?

Adding image stabilizer is also great if possible. Take night photo for 5 seconds by barehand is almost impossible but the reward is huge.

Hi Guys,

This is not my original Mod or Port, I just replace .xml file to libra.xml files to get some feature works.

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] caxwan:
Different port ways, on your post is original port by stars2 while this one port by Arnova8G2.

But xda thread from stars2 are removed and he discontinue his miui camera port.

I think port by stars2 is better ways but I can't get all feature like original Mi4c camera on his latest build.

I have not adding any feature just replace some files to get camera feature as original on Mi4c like Auto HDR or Manual Camera.

I have zero knowledge about port or mod, just copy-paste updated files on original .zip files.

Hi! Mirror front camera is not working in v1.6. Please fix it. Also, I'm confused why you haven't updated your 2.0 beta+ version in O.P. Is it not stable? I am asking because I am gonna try it now. I was originally thinking of updating to from 1.6 experimental to 2.0 beta. But now, while scrolling through the page, I came across 2.0 beta +. Please warn me before it's too late. I don't have a pc to correct my mistakes if anything goes wrong.

My device: Moto E3 Power XT1706 (taido_row)

ROM: Stock ROM

TWRP recovery (unofficial by moderator) + magisk v19 root.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] caxwan:
You can dirty flash your rom to remove this mod, v2 need to enable permission by manual on app setting.

That why error message "can't connect camera".

I use libra camera for .xml parameter that why you get error or unworking camera on other device.

All, I think the stable miui camera already on magisk module but less feature.

If you want advance feature just replace .xml file on .apk with the modded ones or add some parameter for any feature that can work on miui camera.

Simply mod just replace .xml file using 7zip on windows without extract the .zip files.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Infinite resurrection:

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] CCarson:
I was only able to install it with stock. Even then, it had to be the full install, not the OTA update.

Not sure updating is worth the pain. really.

My rooted tab is now threatening to install this update when I reboot. Does anybody remember how to stop a firmware update when it wants to update on reboot?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] feretio:
I don't think there's much to worry about as if you're rooted with TWRP, it'll just reboot into TWRP and wait for you to manually apply it, if you can find it on the file system.

I'm currently trying to apply B356 which was recently released. This minor update contains the July 2018 Google security patches. The last time I did this from B351, this is what I did:

Via TWRP, Installed the 2 full OTA zip files for B352 downloaded with firmwarefinder. This replaced TWRP with the stock recovery but did not wipe my data.

Rebooted, and applied B353 via the normal OTA through settings. This installed the B353 full package (2.52GB).

Reinstalled TWRP with fastboot (twrp_BTV-W09_5_greatslon.img)

Booted to TWRP & installed Magisk

Re-enabled the 5GHz wifi radio

However, this doesn't seem to be working with B356 thus far. Installing the Firmwarefinder zip files failed (at least update.zip did, I didn't try the other two) so I installed the FF B352 images mentioned above. However, applying the stock OTA through settings wants to install 3 patches (B353, June 18, July 18) of size 786MB. They downloaded successfully but then it fails to apply during the reboot.

Anyone else have any luck? What did you wind up doing?

Thanks!
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] woody1:
