I was so amped for the pie update but looks like it is a downer so far. My friend received the FOTA and he reports worse off battery life, lowered volume output and occassional WiFi and tethering issues.

Flashed Magisk-v19.0.zip with no active modules. Magisk modules installs and works as expected but it does something to boot.img which fails wifi. Reflashing the original boot.img restores wifi mac and it starts working again.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Tianhe:
So modules are somehow corrupting partition. Does flashing a /persist backup only, after flashing magisk+modules solve the problem ? I admit i am just guessing so you need not follow this

How do I do that? Isn't /persist a folder in root directory? How do I get original /persist files without root? Can I get them from boot.img or the 050 zip file?

This zip is TWRP flashable. I have tired it atleast 3 times by now. You must be on 340 update, not on pie beta

https://drive.google.com/open?id=16OLhRn6i-8sPtybksDL4nR8FtW_A_fNu

There was a thread here which told you to modify the update zip's META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script and it worked for me. You can use my zip or if you have the pie stable update zip already, you could save some time using a text editor. Hit thanks if that help. My thanks meter is nil lol.

---------- Post added at 05:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

Which ROM are you using? You have to open your ROM's zip and extract the boot.img and put your phone to fastboot mode by pressing vol up + power.

Then flash using the command

fastboot flash boot <filename>.img

And yes you will loose magisk because magisk remain undetected because it modifies boot partition instead of system. Flashing pie stable boot.img restored my wifi to normal.

Do not search for it in root directory, just tick the persist & vendor partition in TWRP and create backup and then restore from TWRP after installing Magisk and facing the issue. And try not to flash decrypt.zip, i am not sure if it messes with partition.

Also, if you have time, try installing Magisk through patched boot.img instead of flashing through TWRP.

-> Lock Screen is blank and pathetic.

I have action dash pro version to replace digital well being,camera 2 api works if you've already

enabled it in Oreo via fastboot which I have done

so the only thing is lockscreen some people say it gets stuck in lockscreen and then they have to restart it?is this true, I'm not flashing a ROM anytime soon, so that's why I'm asking.

please tell if there are any more bugs
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Mitul Varmora:

Hello everyone! I have the X00TDB / ZB602KB with the 4GB/ 64G variant of the phone. I'm dead tired from waiting to have the Android P update and I'm strongly considering updating now. I have no idea how long I can stand just waiting lol. I've never received the FOTA notif, I was even using the "check latest firmware" frequently lol. Just to clarify some concerns:

1) The file is compatible with my variant of the phone, right?

2) Do you think updating is too risky? Should I just wait for eternity for the real stable Android P?

3) Are there any simple ways to downgrade if I end up suffering from too many major bugs?

I've never tinkered with phones; so I have no root or anything out of the ordinary. I'm also not knowledgeable with tech, I'm a hugeee noob, so I'd really appreciate simple responses hahaha!

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Cookie Ninja:
The encrypted filesystem can be accessed from the running Android system (after unlocking the phone), but cannot be read by twrp. That's why people flash decrypt.zip. On on other devices with official build of twrp ,system encryption doesn't prevent twrp from reading internal storage.

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] razaaraayo143:
Correct but it won't work on already encrypted device

you will have to flash the zip before encryption, if its already encrypted you will have to factory reset in twrp so that it decrypt and then flash the zip so that it prevents the encryption again when you boot system

Sound is low since the Pie beta, even on custom ROMs (that uses / requires official pie firmware.) Using a custom kernel that supports tweaking digital audio gain helps (boosting by +4db doesn't seem to clip for me) but increases noise on transition between silent and quiet parts on the audio.

The arrows of mobile data are persistently visible, even if i'm connected on Wifi.

The notification bar is managed as if it have notch, with pin after 4-5 notification icon, even if our phone doesn't have notch.

In whatsapp there are problem in video play. Even if i close the video, audio continues to be played until the video ends. If, during audio playing if i closed video, i press again, starts 1 video and 2 audio, the old not stopped and the new. What sh**

The most serious: The mobile connectivity is worsened. AGAIN. They managed to make the .340 worse, which was really cr*p!
