For me I had to remove root entirely, everything was crashing nonstop. Bootloader is still unlocked, but playstore looks to be working ok.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] wiQbold:
I had CTS error but after I flashed Magisk directly over MagiskManager SafteyNet was passed.

but i also made a module that changed /etc/permissions/privapp-permissions-google.xml where I quote(?) [<!-- <permission name="android.permission.READ_OEM_UNLOCK_STATE"/> -->
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Jarras:
Could you share that module please?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] wiQbold:
I am not a developer. if I do something wrong then only on my own device.

I would wait if someone with knowledge like 5m4r7ph0n36uru says it is ok.

then I could send it to you.

maybe it is useless
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Jarras:
Makes sense, thanks.

Hello. Netflix can be fixed by downloading the working and compatible alternative application from apk mirror. If you have more problems and you get the error message after starting netflix, you can try to fix it like this:

1.With any root explorer delete/rename liboemcrypto.so inside /system/lib

2.Delete data of netflix app

3.Open and login in Netflix app

4.Enjoy Netflix in your Rooted phone

I hope soon arrive a bit of serious modding, to have a little fun with this device !!! :)
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Weird. Can you tell me if Netflix is showing for you on PlayStore please!?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Electronic Punk:
Yes it is.

I can't recall when I wiped the PlayStore, but I think its been 4-5 days since I noticed uncertified.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Thanks mate for letting me know.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] schmeggy929:
Yeah same here. It showed Uncertified. I Magisk Hid google Play store, games and Google. Cleared data just now and after a minute it shows Certified.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
I'm not talking about a device running Magisk. This is all about a simple bootloader unlock with nothing else done and tinkered.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] schmeggy929:
Copy that
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] parlayed:
I unlocked and added Magisk with Hide enabled for Play Store, Face Unlock and could never get Face Unlock to work again (grayed out).

So I RUU'ed back to stock without reloading Magisk but just keeping Bootloader unlocked and I am unable to see Netflix in Playstore.

I also can't add/confirm my credit card in G Pay with just having the Bootloader unlocked and no Magisk with Hide.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Yes that's exactly what I meant. Just unlocking the bootloader returns a devices failing SafetyNet Test, and not showing such Apps as e.g. Netflix on PlayStore any longer. Seems to be some new security routines on our device, which will make tinkering even less affordable. Unless you're running Magisk you'll now have to search for working App versions on site like apk mirror, and won't be able to use such things like Google Pay any longer.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
PlayService Update has effect on all bootloader unlocked devices

Played a little bit more with my HTC U12+, as well as with my HTC U11. Reverted the latter one to full stock due to the update that's going to be roled out according to LlabtooFeR. Google definitely changed something with its last PlayServices update. Both devices - the U12+ as well as the U11 - gave me the following results:

Full Stock & bootlader unlocked > PlayStore uncertified, SafetyNet failes

Full Stock & bootlader (re)locked > PlayStore certified, SafetyNet passes

In case of number one, App like e.g.

Netflix

SnapChat

SkyGo

...

are not displayed on PlayStore, or work at most by installing a modified apk.

Guess we got to hope for a Magisk solution allowing to hide bootloader unlock an still keep us enable to update the devices by official OTAs. Still it is becoming more complicated to use a modified device with every new update, as Google seems to want to lock everything down, as Apple already does.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Electronic Punk:
Well at least there is always* sideloading :D
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MNoisy:
Same. Rooted with newest magisk 16.6 and I can seemingly run everything fine including snapchat. The only app I dont see in app store is Netflix, everything else like snapchat, hulu, etc shows correctly. No issues besides that since rooting on day 1 of delivery.

I know luckyp*tcher is a 4 letter word around here but would that affect it?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Would affect what? Netflix not showing? Nope Netflix, but did you try magisk hide on play store etc? Or else you can sideload the Netflix apk from apkmirror
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MNoisy:
Yes it is hidden.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kickyoace:
well that used to be not greyed out
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Are you already unlocked?

This thread is about running a full stock, unlocked system. No Magisk and no other tinkering done to it.

[MENTION=5832952]5m4r7ph0n36uru[/MENTION] I am curious about the S-Off unlocked and getting the widevine L1 with S-Off only being temporary.. Does running S-Off once reset the flags necessary so that it goes back to L1? Or is it just temporary and as soon as you reboot back to S-On it sets back to L3?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
As soon as you reboot and are S-ON/Unlocked Widevine drops to L3. S-OFF/unlocked is in permanent S-OFF which I had the chance to test. On temp S-OFF we don't even need to discuss it, as those drives aren't running an engineering boot, and switch to S-ON on a reboot.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] DaConcho:
Ok that makes more sense. I hadn't even considered those handful of test devices that were permanent S-off.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kickyoace:
is it possible for say a donnor soff bootloader to be dumped and flashed on a temp soff to gain full soff?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JEANRIVERA:
if it was that simple it would have already been done probably, so I guess it is not possible ;)
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] beartiger:
I am unable to make this happen, I get failed unknown command. I have tried using latest google android sdk fastboot command and using latest htc fastboot binary.

I recently removed accounts and then SDCard RUUd to the latest firmware but I want to (re)lock it so the splash screen goes before reselling the device. Any help greatly appreciated.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Are you sure that you're in the bootloader, not download mode?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] beartiger:
I used adb reboot bootloader and I know the difference between bootloader (green and red colour scheme) and download (yellow colour scheme), so yes, this was definitely in bootloader mode. Tried on a PC and a Mac with 2 different cables on each. Fastboot devices works every time just the command fails.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
You got it that my guide say reboot to bootloader, reboot to download and in download use the fastboot command!? So the question is, if the command doesn't work in download either.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] beartiger:
OMG! Now I just want to find a hole and crawl into it! LOL

Thank you for pointing out my error, yes it is now locked and factory reset.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] GaetanoS.89:
Hi everyone, I have the HTC U12+ with CID HTC_622 ( HK ) and I am still waiting the December security patch update.

I am considering to change my Cid in European one HTC_034 in order to get the updates on time.

Did anyone know how to back stock and in locked status after I will change my Cid? I do not want be back in re-locked but in locked status, just like the phone has never been unlocked.

Thanks everyone.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JEANRIVERA:
There is no way to achieve that yet
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] GaetanoS.89:
After changing the CID, and re-lock the phone, did I will get the original updates via OTA with the chance to install them normally?

Is it Right?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] banong:
HTC U12 + is faulty, now I want to flash the original rom from rom.zip with a memory card. The phone has a boot loader not enabled, asking if it needs to be locked before flashing. Thank you Sorry for not good English.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rfgamaral:
Is there anything wrong in using the device in this S-ON/(re)locked state? This still allows me to install TWRP and root the device with Magisk, correct? I can still use things like Google Pay and install the Netflix app? So, what exactly I cannot do with my device in this S-ON/(re)locked state?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
You can't root if it's relocked. It will bootloop and in worst case break the system, so you need to flash a RUU.

Relocked is just like locked, so yea, like you got it completely new.

Also newer updates shouldn't allow twrp boot anymore. If still allowed, htc s*cked at the proper updates.

You could boot twrp back then and backup system etc. Even data. But normally it should be not working anymore. Because this vulnerability is fixed a long time ago on other devices using s845
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rfgamaral:
So, if I unlock, install TWRP and Magisk, then relock I get bootloops? Is that what you're saying?

Really? Which version at maximum would my phone need to have so I could still install TWRP?

What's that?

Anyway, this sucks because I was thinking of getting this device at a good price and install the PixelExperience P GSI ROM, but I guess not anymore... I'm screwed, I don't like any other device on the market, HTC (hardware wise) is perfect for me, but with a Pixel ROM, not stock :/
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
If your phone is locked/relocked you can't modify it anyway.

You have to unlock the bootloader, then you can boot twrp (flash the zip from the twrp.me page) and it is installed permanently. Then you can flash a GSI rom.

Relocked/locked is a state of not being to modify it. You didn't understand me properly

And s845 is snapdragon 845. The SoC used in the u12+, p3xl, oneplus 6 etc. Few months ago you could boot twrp without unlocking bootloader and backup system, once flashed something, you had to flash stock firmware, because system was tampered and broken. For modifying the phone, you need to unlock the bootloader first.

I hope I was clear now. If not, please refer to the twrp thread/use Google for further information
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rfgamaral:
Not quite, sorry. I'm still confused because you said I will have bootloops with relocked and that's what I'm failing to understand.

I'm an HTC user, never had an Android phone which was not an HTC phone, so I've done countless bootloader unlocks and installed countless ROMs, I know that part very well. It's just something you said that is confusing me...

Based on this topic, I need my phone to be relocked if I want to use the Play Store and SafetyNet to pass, correct? What I'm asking is if I can do this process:

Buy a new HTc U12+.

Unlock the phone's bootloader throught htcdev.com site.

Flash TWRP image.

Flash Magisk to have my device rooted.

Optional: Flash PixelExperience P SGI GOM.

Relock the device so that SafetyNet passes.

I understand that I won't be able to perform any more modifications after locking the phone, but here I described doing those modifications BEFORE relocking it. I also understand that if I need to make more modifications in the future that I'll need to go to the HTCDev site, unlock the bootloader again and lose all my data (I can always make a system image backup with TWRP and restore that later).

But my question is, is there anything wrong with the procedure above? Or will I have any sort of issues like the bootloop you mentioned?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
If you modified your phone, you DON'T RELOCK IT. Otherwise it will bootloop too.

If your phone is relocked/locked and you try modifications it will bootloop, yea.

With newest magisk, safety net is fine, unless Google patched it again.

But you will loose drm/ widevine, it will change to L3, so no HD etc in Netflix for example.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rfgamaral:
Everything is more clear now and if I can still use Magisk and root it, I'm all good. Thank you.

If that's all I lose, I guess it's fine, I don't really use my phone to watch protected content, I only watch Netflix on the TV.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Yea magisk will work fine.

Also be sure you know, that twrp with the omg provided on twrp.me is only to boot it. Command will be "fastboot boot twrp.img"

There is also a zip file on the same site, which can be flashed in the booted twrp, to access it always.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] foosoomin:
why is HTC restricting users on installing certain apps, after bootloader unlocked ?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Which apps? Netflix etc do have their own check on that. Nothing to do with HTC
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] foosoomin:
latest news.

htcdev.com no longer allow U12+ & Exodus 1 to unlock bootloader, these 2 devices are removed from the device selection list
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JEANRIVERA:
They were never on that list, just select other, the process is the same for most devices
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] msm1111:
Hi all!

Since using PH1 with O8.1, my 3 Button headset (AKG N20) won't work. Vol+ always triggers the voice command - very annoying. Other buttons and sound is fine.

Essential support was very nice an helful, unfortunately without solution.

I researched and understood the system of the 3-buttons and impedance, as described here:

https://source.android.com/devices/accessories/headset/plug-headset-spec

As the headset works flawless on other O8.1 phones with an integrated 3,5mmm jack (tested on sony and samsung), I think this is might be a driver issue with the usb-c dongle.

I would like to test a bit around (phone is rooted), however didn't find a way to start.

I wonder if anyone could be so kind to answer the following two questions I was not able to find out on my own:

1 Where in the system are these impedance values stored in general and for the dongle? A editable file, in the kernel or on the hardware?

2 Where can I find the driver for the usb-c dongle (it was installed on first plug in, so I would guess it is somehow separated from the system)?

Thank you very much!

Hi guys, I'm struggling to get a decent signal on my OPO.

3g barely works, I get 4mbps DOWN and 1mpbs UP when I'm lucky but most of the time it just doesn't work.

I'm using the latest official LOS 15.1 Rom and I tried all the modems in this page: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/general/firmware-modem-oneplus-one-t3462214 but they all resulted in the same problem.

I've also tried many other ROMs, downgraded to stock cm13s, but nothing seems to work.

The opo is now 4 yrs. old but I feel it could live for so much longer if I can fix this problem.

Does anyone know the cause of this problem?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moe6:
Have you taken it apart and ensured that the antenna is tightly connected?

And that note, the antenna itself might need to be reseated just to provide a better connection to begin with.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nik012003:
I just did that but it didn't improve. I can't really tell if the antenna pin is making contact with the antenna when I'm putting the backcover on, but I noticed that the battery is a bit puffy, is it normal?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piotrec:
I had a broken battery and replaced it. The old was very puffy and my Phone did not even charge any more. But after the replacement i got Signal issues. Maybe i damaged something? And so did you?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossvxm:
Discontinue use IMMEDIATELY. A puffy/swollen battery indicates that there is an internal leak in the battery and can be dangerous. Do not risk it, turn it off, do not use it and replace the battery (or have the battery replaced). It is possible that the battery is creating pressure somewhere or is causing something to slightly disconnect and that may be the cause of the issue. It can also simply be another problem, this varies from phone to phone.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piotrec:
Yes, it was the antenna connector. After disconnecting all cables from the mainboard and lifting it up i was able to connect the antenna back. Now i have perfect signal and a New battery (which needs to be calibrated some how now).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LtShaftoe:
Hi,

I'm new here so.. hello everyone:) Tnx for having me. I've read the other Note 3 battery drain issues but they are not the same as mine. Here's the thing: Note 3 drains about 1-2% per minute of battery if I do anything on it like browse the net or godforbid play ingress (then it's even worse at about 3-4% per minute). Here's the kicker: it only happens on the original battery. When I use noname cheap battery replacement it uses about 0.15-0.25% a minute (or 4-7 minutes per 1%). I've swapped the original battery at the store so this is the second one and the same problem persists. I used my own multimeter to confirm the battery voltage and it's the same one as detected by note 3. The problem persists on aryamod, C9 and phorensis note7 roms. Other things I've noted is that if i reboot the phone at 100% (immediately after unplugging) it will come back at 91-92%. If the battery is drained to 0% on purpose it will stay at 1% for about 45 minutes or so, and then if it's taken out of the phone while turned off and put back immediately on boot it will show at 20%-40% charge. Basically, what are the odds that 2 batteries at the store are both faulty? Any advice? Any suggestions?

PS

The problem persists even if nothing is running, fresh boot with zero apps on, just opera mini and 4G xor wifi.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Test with full wipe and stock rom.

Battery drop after charging is not unknown.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LtShaftoe:
I can do that, but I'm also interested as to why it happens on original brand name Samsung battery and not on noname knockoff? Also, 8-10% charge drop and 20-40% charge rise is highly abnormal.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
It could have something to do with the custom ROMs or kernels included with the ROMs.

I also suggest a full wipe of the cache, system, and data before going back an unrooted stock ROM.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaduNastase:
Hey OP, both original batteries i had (the one i bought the phone with and the one i bought last year from Samsung) act kinda the same as you describe.

Basically it drains 1% every two minutes or so if i keep using the phone. If i let the phone idle for 20 minutes and then start using the phone again at, say 80%, it will stay on 80% for 10 minutes and then start dropping fast again. After reaching 1% it will also give me some 20 - 30 minutes of screen time.

I noticed that if i unplug the phone the moment it say 100% - unplug, the battery will drop fast to 95% (15 minutes of idle). However, if i leave the phone plugged in for an additional hor after full charge, it will discharge normally in idle, 1% every hour. I calibrated the battery numerous times by fully discharging it and charging it with the phone off but no chabge in its behaviour.

My sister's no name battery, of course, act normally under identical load, 1% every 5 minutes of screen, no problems at full charge, or 1%.

hey everyone i recently purchased a cingular 8525 with wm5 and decided that it would be a good idea to upgrade to wm6 (don't know exactly why but i did it) anywho... after i did so i found out that the wifi does not work anymore and i'm new at this so i have no idea what could possibly be the prob. Before i upgraded the os, wifi worked like a charm didn't really have to configure it or anything just detect settings and available wireless signals etc and that was it. pleeeez ppl who ever knows what i'm talking about please pretty please help cuz this is annoying me :mad:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] duke_stix:
Hi

Which ROM did you upgrade to, also, did you flash HardSPL before that? which Radio ROM are you running, and does the WIFI actually turn on when you use the comm manager?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] siskus:
I upgraded to the WM6 Cingular USA version, I did not flash HardSPL before that. I assume that unless the upgrade from wm6 changed the Radio ROM I am running, I’m still running the same one that comes with the version of wm5 that came with the phone when I bought it (btw what is a radio rom? Sry for my ignorance) And yes the WIFI actually turns on when I use the comm manager in fact it all seems to work fine but I just cant access the internet with it, even though it detects a signal. It stopped working the moment I upgraded to wm6
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] blackout128:
After flashing roms I had the same problem..make sure under the tab network adapters the line that says My network cards connects to..is set on internet..most roms start out with it on work..that change always works for me
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] siskus:
So i deceided to downgrade the rom from wm6 to wm5 and yes apparently it has something to do with the rom version because my wifi connection works again!! with the old version which is wm5, but the moment I upgraded again to v6 it stopped working and like I said everything in the settings seems to be working fine, there’s just no internet, I should just be happy with the old version of windows mobile but version 6 has some features that I really liked does somebody know why this is happening? and if yes is there a solution? It might b more obvious than I think but I really don’t know so I really appreciate those who post help and advise thank you!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] blackout128:
Put it back to WM 6.0..we will figure out what is wrong. There are alot of really good people on this forum and the answer to your problem is here. WM 6 is so much better.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] siskus:
Thanx for the support and the advise;). So i installed another version of wm6 this one seems to be for Dopod but at least the internet works!!:), the one i previously installed was an official version of wm6 for cingular which like i said before, for some strange reason i was not able to use the internet with wifi :( my only concern with having this Dopod version is that... well... its for the Dopod and does not come with the features that cingular offers to AT&T/ cingular users like myself. But then again it seems like everything else works just fine I just wonder why the cingular version doesn't work?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] blackout128:
Sounds like your a little new to this. Here one of the golden rules:check out the hermes wiki and learn alittle about the flashing process and the different roms and their settings. There are alot of good roms out there that set up for ATT users, like K's Rom ,which is what I've been using for months. Works fine right after flashing. It has the right amount of programs and tweaks. Do alittle research and it will be worth it. It may take a couple different roms to find what you are looking for. Make sure you HardSpl your phone(the guide of flashing is in the wiki) Good Luck
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] duke_stix:
i second blackout128's post

read the wiki

install hard spl

flash to your hearts content!
