[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] slonn:
Is it possible to download it without having to install it right away? Phone is rooted and don't want to lose root in case it starts installing.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] brmbjn:
Done
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] yandreev3:
To those of you that updated and are rooted, can you confirm you're not sporadically losing root like 5.1.7 was doing?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Bradl79:
If it installs it won't be active until a reboot anyway, so as long as u don't reboot it won't change, even after install
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] akxak:
I never lost root with 5.1.7 or any other 5.1.x rom (no twrp).
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Paz9:
users were reporting losing root / twrp with OTA's

im on 5.1.7, if i update to 5.1.8 via system update wont it remove my twrp and root and kernel?

afaik it does...
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] akxak:
I applied the OTA (full due to root) with the system installer and reinstalled Magisk via Magisk Manager BEFORE rebooting.

I never used TWRP on the OP 6 and rooted with Magisk, I don't need it. When I got my OP6, there was no TWRP available.

Magisk patched the boot image.

After a smooth reboot, the system was updated and Magisk kept installed.

And yes, TWRP is lost when updating that way but can be reinstalled via Fastboot if it is needed.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Paz9:
so what the proper procedure on installing updates without getting wiped?

so far the most logical way of doing it is downloading the OTA

installing it via twrp

then install twrp.zip in twrp after update

then magisk, then kernel and boot.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] akxak:
If you need TWRP, yes. If not, install via system, reapply Magisk to inactive slot before rebooting and reboot.

I am not sure whether TWRP uses the A/B structure. The system updater does so if for any reason the update dies not start, the old working system remains available and will be booted.

The anxiety whether the system will come up after an update is gone for me... I crashed my OP5 applying the Oreo update and had to setup it up from scratch... while abroad on Christmas.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Eric214:
Of course you lose root and TWRP as it loads a stock Boot.img which includes the OOS stock kernel and stick recovery. You will lose TWRP and Magisk, you have to reflash them.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] akxak:
[MENTION=4915202]Eric214[/MENTION], you did read the original question #8 I was answering?

I answered on a sporadically loss of root, which meant for me after having root, it's suddenly gone without having installed something.

Don't jump on an answer without reading the question.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Eric214:
Well I must have read the question wrong as it sounded like some were losing TWRP and root sporadically after the update. I didn't not read it I just took it another way... sorry for confusion

Also, just as easy to just wait for Funk Wizard to post the official FULL zip on his thread and just Flash in TWRP. Last time I jumped the gun early I was on the beta 5.1.6 build but saw no issues whatsoever. I'll sit back this time.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] defsix:
If you only run Magisk and stock recovery, install the update, but before reboot , re-install Magisk to the other A/B side , then reboot. Then reboot, you'll have Magisk freshly installed.

This doesn't work for TWRP!

Sent from my Brain using my Keyboard
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Paz9:
you do appreciate the A/B structure when a flash goes wrong.

ill wait for the official zip to be flashed via TWRP before going ahead with it :)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] akxak:
Of course I do... the Oreo update in December led to an unplanned factory reset of my OP 5 while abroad in Europe for Christmas. With A/B, this would not have happened because the present working OS (with Magisk/root) remains untouched and the update is installed in the other partition. If for any reason the updated OS is not coming up, the systems falls back and boots the previous (working) OS from where a new update or whatever measure can be initiated.

I wonder if (and if not why) TWRP does support that, installing the full update in the unsused slot (including TWRP itself and Magisk) and then boot that slot.

With these two partitions in use, you keep your phone working and avoid a soft brick. For the manufacturer it avoids trouble for the normal user in case an OTA fails...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teddy Lo:
Try to enter into Download mode by pressing Vol - Home button and Power button at the same time once you feel vibration or you see first logo fast press just Vol + if not , disconnect the battery , press Vol - , Home button and Power button at the same hold like that and plug the battery in and see if the download mode is showing up.

If is OK reflash stock firmware ....

Good Luck :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g_canov:
the problem is that when i try to turn it on in any way, doesent matter if its pwr+volume down + home, or just the pwr button it doesent turn on, the only way i can turn it on is by connecting it to the charger and the loop begins...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teddy Lo:
Then try to hold VOL + Home button and power button and connect charger .... probably boot images are corrupted ... I don't know if USB jig can help you to get into Download mode ....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g_canov:
i have tried this already, i cannot acces download mode or any other mode...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teddy Lo:
Are your device somehow getting recognised on PC ?

If is recognised try to reboot into download mode or recovery with ADB:

adb reboot download

adb reboot recovery

Or you can try with another battery if not then you should try with sd sdc repair method but you need ATX box

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsyD09IYbxg

Maybe over the internet someone has made for your device , or to ask someone who is expert for creating custom OS boot files to somehow make sd bootable download mode if is possible ....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g_canov:
my pc doesent read that... ur other suggestion with the atx box looks too difficult... so i guess i can sign off the phone :/

First you must to know that all modification on your device below official fabric state can damage your device whatever is Soft Brick or Hard Brick or Hardware issue ....

From start you know you was doing wrong things by choosing A5 2016 instead A5 2017.

Second you can't expect we are magical people primarily I to solve your problem just like that .

You don't need to give up of your phone , there is Service Repair Center send to someone you trust to repair with Micro SD CDC method or to replace new eMMC chip and reflash new OS on your device ...

Next time do little bit more research before doing anything on your own : ) !

[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] SelfCastingCookies:
Hello,

I need some help with passing the SafetyNet Control.

I made a clean install with LineageOS + OpenGAPPS + Magisk. But I still can't pass the SafetyNet test...

Magisk Hide is enabled :

Magisk Hide is applied to GSF and PlayStore :

SELinux is in enforce mode and the right permissions have been applied to the files enforce and policy :

I tried using "Universal Safetynet Fix" by Deiki :

But I still get the same result over and over :

The debug mode is disabled, I tried reading countless articles about SafetyNet and work arounds but I can't make it work.

Any help is very much welcome :)

Thanks
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] kaesebrot:
The following steps worked for me:

• make a eRecovery, manufacturer ROM download and installed

• boot and setup Android welcome

• enable under Developer Settings -> "Allow OEM install"

• turn off phone

• Boot in fastboot: (press Vol- and connect USB cable, phone boots alone)

• Install TWRP "Autoinstall TWRP321_OREO_P20LITE" via batch file

RECOVERY TWRP Mod by catuva21

unzip, the file is automatic

https://mega.nz/#!0jwk1ArQ!4bHAlsDj9...QJv3IVXl51oOtI

• turn off the phone

• Boot in Recovery: Vol + and POWER, TWRP starts

• Install Magisk v16.4.zip

Magisk V16.4 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1E1k...V0MMnRmVa/view

• reboot

• Check Safetynet status = OK (maybe an error, that can not read information), but still works!

• Install Google App and Google Pay

• Enable Magisk Hide Google and Google Pay

Then Google Pay works with rooted P20 lite phone

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] TheGreatB:
I just killed my TWRP by flashing the recommended one for Lineage 15.1 and need to reflash it. Unfortunately,

adb reboot bootloader

or the fastboot option in the bootloader or holding down volume down and plugging in the cable just reboot into LineageOS. How do I get into fastboot? I am unfortunately not rooted so I am in an uncomfortable position where I have no other options, I guess?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] marcus.linkenbach:
Fastboot mode was removed by ZTE.

So simply use the axon7toolkit to apply what you want

Gesendet von meinem SM-G965F mit Tapatalk
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] TheGreatB:
Thanks for your help. Would not have remembered this tool since I have not used it since unlocking my bootloader.

Just a sidenote: If I remember correctly, fastboot was used to unlock the bootloader? And since then I've not used ZTE's ROMs. So how can they have removed it on my device?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] marcus.linkenbach:
They removed it with any marshmellow Update
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] TheGreatB:
Doesn't the toolkit use fastboot? When I select Install TWRP option, it wants to reboot to bootloader, the device proceeds to boot into the ROM and the toolkit says "fastboot not installed" or something like that.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] marcus.linkenbach:
Yes it does but before it installs fastboot. Do it with miflash. I am not at home and cannot help at this moment. Sorry

Gesendet von meinem SM-G965F mit Tapatalk
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] TheGreatB:
Thanks for trying to help as best as you currently can :)

I read MiFlash is somehow included in the toolkit. Information about how to use MiFlash to install fastboot isn't easy to find. And some guides say having the 2017or 2017U version is required (I have 2017G). I would be very grateful if you could provide instructions on how to do this when you are back at home :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] marcus.linkenbach:
Yes I will. I have the G Version as weil.

Gesendet von meinem SM-G965F mit Tapatalk
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] TheGreatB:
I think I found another way, can I just use the axon7tool (not toolkit) to flash TWRP in EDL mode and thereby skip the hassle with fastboot?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] marcus.linkenbach:
You can but with miflash it is much easier.

Open miflash and select

Axon7Development\Axon7toolkit\miflash\unlock\ and then MM or N

Start flashing...that's it

Gesendet von meinem SM-G965F mit Tapatalk
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] TheGreatB:
I used the axon7tool, worked like a charm :) Seemed less scary to me. Thanks for your help, I'm sure your way would have worked as well ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
The easiest one by far is EDL Tool by djkuz, since it has a mode for doing this and it's not nearly as finicky as axon7tool (and much more reliable than axon7toolkit), while the miflash method seems too hacky.

Now that you used axon7tool you won't be able to use EDL things like EDL tool or miflash because you have the Zadig driver installed; if you ever need to use EDL just uninstall the driver and let Windows get the normal EDL one
[LG G7 ThinQ  Accessories] jph8tr:
We have 2 G7's, I put GPEL screen protectors on both. I have a generic (cheap) 'rugged armor' ripoff case, my wife bought the genuine Speigen Slim Armor. The protectors were properly applied and we waited 24hrs before putting the phones in their respected cases. The Slim Armor case eventually lifts about 20% of the screen protector off the phone. Unfortunately, my wife didn't inform me till the adhesive semi-dried and she will likely have permanent bubbles, thanks a lot Speigen. I was able to fix the issue by using a moto-tool to sand off a little of the top edge where it scrapes the screen, something it doesn't do anywhere else. YMMV. Funny that my cheap case fits better than the much more expensive name brand, proving you don't always get what you pay for. Also, for those still considering the Slim Armor? It also reduces the boombox effect which my $5 rugged armor 'tribute' case does not. But you do get a kickstand :rolleyes:
[LG G7 ThinQ  Accessories] nitroevo:
I don't use a screen protector but I don't see how it messes with the boombox feel. I use the same case and don't have that sound issue
[LG G7 ThinQ  Accessories] jph8tr:
The case...not the screen protector:confused:
[LG G7 ThinQ  Accessories] nitroevo:
obviously
[LG G7 ThinQ  Accessories] jph8tr:
Another case of sarcasm not translating over the net? The case doesn't cause a huge issue, but if you place the phone on a surface with and without the case, there is a difference. It's slight and for most, inconsequential. But it's there. That the case damaged my wifes' screen protector is more of a concern.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Accessories] LookedPath:
I personally bought the Tough Armor from Spigen and here in the Italian Amazon it costs 8.99 euros which was sometimes less than other low quality ones.

I've been using it for a few days and obviously I've noticed that the boom box effect is a little bit less powerful but it's something that I can happily trade off in exchange for a more protected phone.

The cover fits perfectly and the build quality feels really top notch.

I've also tried the wireless charging and it works like a charm.

Just saying my experience since this is still a relatively new forum and maybe our posts can help someone else decide whether to buy it or not.

Not sure which variant it is (MTK or Qualcomm) if it's important.

Reflash? I cannot get him to answer me if it was factory reseted or not, so I take it as yes.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
No idea. It looks like a theme since the clock is dark. Looks like mediatek version. That definitely matters when flashing. There is no way to know what is wrong, if anything. That picture just looks like they enabled "color inversion" in accessibility settings. Screenshot doesn't show it, but when enabled, it looks like that pic you have.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] ch3mn3y:
Hmm, so it may be something so non significant problem?

All I know is that "the screen is white, I don't know why" :P

I could get it for 5-6 bucks. Is it worth it? I think so :)

And as it's Eu version and only US have Qualcomm's processor it have to be Mediatek variant.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
5 bucks sounds worth it.

I can't say for certain, but this is how mine looks with it enabled. Hopefully it's not stuck on that device.

[Shift General] citivolus:
Does the Shift's WM side suffer from the dreaded lack of video acceleration enabled drivers affecting most current HTC devices? This would show up as relatively mediocre video performance while playing TCPMP or Slingplayer. On the Shift I would expect no less than 30fps using Slingplayer.
[Shift General] citivolus:
ok, if no one knows the answer directly, maybe we can infer it...

I'd really like to find out the performance of Slingplayer for example. It is well-documented that this is an app that suffers in many newer HTC devices due to the lack of drivers specifically taking advantage of the video hardware.

Can anyone report the fps and bitrate they are getting while using Slingplayer Mobile on the Shift? I have a Slingbox available if anyone needs testing.

I think RealVGA may be needed to see the full layout of Slingplayer while it is running to display the fps in the upper right hand corner of the screen.

thanks.

The pictures don't show. Typing out the error message will work just as well.

Also, we need more info about the device. Do fastboot getvar all, and post the results. Delete IMEI and serial number before posting.

Also, need to know what you were doing when this happened, and what you were trying to accomplish. The OS number being blank on bootloader screen is usually due to using a very old, outdated version TWRP; or some custom ROMs will also make OS number blank.
