Hi ArmedandDangerous

that sounds great. I have a MI8 official global version, not Chinese, with MIUI 10 Global Beta 8.10.11.

Just want to root for using Android Auto mirror. No other rom or else tweaks needed.

Is Magisk Manager the right way for me?

There are two option "force encryption" and "DM verity" I have to check?

How about Rom Updates? Can i still update and not losing root?

Thanks alot

mheiner
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArmedandDangerous:
Yes, Magisk Manager and creating your own patched_boot.img is the way to go (assuming bootloader is unlocked as well). I didn't check any other options. OTA should still work, but you would probably lose root. Creating a new boot.img with MM should work again :D
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mheiner:
So to get it right. You just created boot.img with option Magisk Manager is providing?

For me option "force encryption" is checked, option "AVB 2.0/dm-verity" is unchecked.

Did you you root with this configuration or did you uncheck both options?

Thanks

mheiner
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArmedandDangerous:
Yes just magisk and boot works. I didn't select any other option in Magisk Manager, just whatever was selected.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mheiner:
OK i will try that way :good:

Thanks alot

Hi,

I try to install TWRP using this procedure :

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot recovery-TWRP-3.2.2-0711-XIAOMI8-CN-wzsx150.img (also try with just fastboot boot recovery.img)

I've got this error on my terminal :

downloading 'boot.img'...
FAILED (command write failed (Success))
finished. total time: 0.000s

My phone is marked as unlocked when I start is, same on the developer options. Any clues ? :/

Hi,

I have downloaded the magisk manager but didn't find the way to create my own patched boot img. Have you a link to a tutorial to do this please ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArmedandDangerous:
TWRP isn't working well with Mi 8, that's why you have to perform root a different way. Magisk Manager -> 3 Lines options top left, Settings. Patched Boot Output Format, select .img Flash this file through ADB in fastboot.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nathan30:
Thanks for the quick answer,

I select the .img format but I didn't see any new .img file on my phone. Is that normal, did I miss something ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArmedandDangerous:
You need to go back to the main Magisk Manager and click Install then select Patch Boot Image File. :)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nathan30:
I had to select which image ? Maybe I have a misundertanding at this point
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArmedandDangerous:
It will create the file for you.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nathan30:
In a specific folder ? Cause I didn't find the new img file created by Magisk manager

EDIT : Try this :

Get the boot.img for the ROM

In Magisk --> Install/Patch Boot Image File --> get a patched_boot.img

Put the patched boot img on by compter

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img

Here is what I get :

target didn't report max-download-size

sending 'boot' (45213 KB)...

FAILED (command write failed (Success))

finished. total time: 0.000s

Did I miss something ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArmedandDangerous:
These are the right steps, not sure why you can't flash it in fastboot.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nathan30:
I finally did the flash, through a windows computer, without issues. But I'm stuck in the bootanimation with the "powered by android". What's happened ? How could I repare it ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArmedandDangerous:
Try going into fastboot and flashing it again?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nathan30:
Just think about a thing.. I updated to the 10.0.3.0 just before and I flash the 10.0.2.0 patched img.. If I find the boot.img of the 10.0.3.0 and flash it I could boot again ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArmedandDangerous:
Yes, you must use the same boot.img of your ROM version :) I think you need to make a new patched_boot.img with your new ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nathan30:
I better have to flash the boot.img of the new ROM and then patch it through my MI 8 or I can download the boot.img of the new ROM on my other phone, and patch it on this other phone with magisk manager to flash it after on my MI 8 ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArmedandDangerous:
It's easier to download the ROM separately, extract the boot.img and transfer to your phone, patch it with Magisk Manager (the file will be in Download folder), transfer to PC and restart your phone into fastboot, then flash it :)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nathan30:
I patch the boot.img on my other phone and flash it to my Mi 8 but when I reboot it redirect me automatically on the recovery :(
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArmedandDangerous:
I think it's easier to reinstall the ROM so that it removes TWRP, then patch boot again. TWRP having issues with Mi8.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nathan30:
But I didn't have TWRP :eek: It boot on the Xiaomi recovery
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ArmedandDangerous:
Xiaomi recovery? o.O I've never experienced that lol.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nathan30:
If I flash TWRP it could fix this ? Or I have to flash a new ROM in any case ?

Well, I flash the original boot.img and now after many try of reboot, I rebooted. So I patched the boot.img on my MI 8 and flash it. First it boot on the Xiaomi recovery, I erase the cache via fastboot erase cache and reflash the patched boot image but then I'm stuck on the "Powered by Android"..

EDIT : Finally I reinstall the ROM through MI Flash. I re try to patch the boot.img with Magisk, without any success. Is this linked with the fact I had a password to unlock my phone? (necessary if use fingerprint)

If I can have a working procedure it could be cool
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GeorgeKatsi:
How did you reinstall the rom? Where did you find the 10.0.3.0 version?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nathan30:
I reinstall the latest ROM (10.0.2.0 because the 10.0.3.0 was removed finally) with MI FLASH. I found the 10.0.3.0 here : http://en.miui.com/thread-4374292-1-1.html
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GeorgeKatsi:
Thanks man. I have been searching all over the place to find the boot.img for 10.0.3.0. :good:

For every new owner of MI 8 landing here from Google, a kindly advice:

The most recent (as of 13/11/2018) TWRP Version form MI 8 is 3.2.3-0806 (edited: wrong, thanks to Agimax)

Any previous version will give you troubles, expecially with "CN" devices flashed with Global firmware.

Edit: as per my experience, this is the "lowest" TWRP that will work on a MI 8 CN with Unlocked Bootler which has arrived - to me - with MIUI 9 Global.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Agimax:
Sorry, but that 0806 is from 8-06-2018, I have version TWRP-3.2.3-0918-XIAOMI8-CN-wzsx150, which is from 09-18-2018.

Changelog (sorry...is translated by google from chinese....)

1. Update the new rom that supports the official Android 9.
2. Update and optimize some functions
3. Increase the option to restart after the automatic upgrade is completed. In the twrp setting, the default is automatic restart. Uncheck the box and you can not restart. After the automatic upgrade, some operations are performed to prevent twrp from being overwritten, etc.
4. Update the built-in root to magisk 17.1, and fix the problem that the module cannot be brushed. Other functions are also updated and optimized.
5. After the new system root, restarting the system requires manual installation of the magisk app, the official system problem, this can only be done for the time being.
6. If Kami may need the root system or remove the dm check operation.
7. Prevent the functions covered by the official rec: root system, signature boot, remove dm check, cancel forced encryption, etc.

If someone is able to download from Baidu and post an alternate link, i can mod this version and enable English by default.

Hello my xioami just bought with miui 9.5.20 global stable when I turn on the wi fi or change the wi-fi connection or the internet, the phone restarts very quickly asking for the password and very often keeps open the applications I had open in previously.

it also happens by turning the data on and off and when I lose connection. Someone would know the existence of some solution?

[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hoqpus:
Background story: I've been an enthusiastic lineage (and cm) user for years. The first thing I did after unboxing any new phone was installing lineage (without even testing the stock rom) because I knew what I got. Few month back I bought two OP5T (one for my gf one for me) and installed lineage. Mine was quite fine but my gf's phone kept having issues (e.g. front cam not working). After a while I had a look at oxygen and I realized that it is not that different or at least not second to none but on the other hand has some advantages two.

Anyway after using OxygenOS for some weeks now I created my list of dis-/advantages:

Advantages over Lineage

- Overall better functionality/ availibility of sensors

• Better camera

• No issues with frontcam

• Faceunlock availible

• No microphone noise on headset during calls

- Gesture navigation (pie control)

- Round battery icon

- Less smaller bugs

- Excellent performance and battery life (prob. Better than lineage even without all those tweaks and possibilities of adjustment)

- Update to Android 8 was faster than lineage itself (if I remember correctly)

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Disadvantages vs. Lineage

Annoying:

- Double tap to wake doesn't work during calls

- Double tap on taskbar to sleep not availible

- Switching songs while display off with Vol up/ down not availible

- Vibration at screen on can't be disabled

I can live with it:

- Change Keyboard notification can't be disabled

- Shifting cursor in text with Vol up/ down not availible

- hold back button to kill not availible

- hold home button to switch to last app (can be worked around by swiping up and hold and then being directed to the recents menu on navigation control)

- Some spam apps

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

What are your thoughts/ experiences? Do you have something to add to the lists that I forgot?

And the most important question: do you have solutions or work arounds for the disadvantages that I listed.

Advantage LOS over OOS:

1. Left and Right keyboard arrows appearing on Navigation Bar when keyboard is out.

2. ???
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] kagazushi:
Hi,

I'm in the exact same situation. Using Lineage for years until i tested it on my OP5t!

Honestly, my main concern was to keep my smartphone up to date. But now, we have security updates less than a month late, and may be quicker now that OP5t have trabble project...

Codename Phoenix was for be the best custom rom, but I must say i've nothing to criticize about OOS.

I stick with the betas and have no issue, camera is great, face unlock too, battery life is very good and the phone is very smooth (way better than my colleague s8+).

Not to mention the full screen videos and the gesture mode.

You can just desactivate the spam apps and it's very fine for me!
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Simonis:
Advantage LOS over OOS:

1. Trust (Data protection)

2. Compatibility to Google Dialer

3. Switchable Root

4. Untill now faster Update

5. Better , adjustable gestures via xposed edge

Disadvantage LOS over OOS:

1. Camera better on Stock rom

2. Better Voice microphone quality on Stock if Bluetooth headset connected
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] sanjib734:
Completely agree with OP. Finally I am using a stock rom even without rooting it (OB11) and completely satisfied.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] avongil911:
Wish I would have read this thread before installing Lineage on a 5T. Same experience. Huge waste of time.

I am a big fan of Lineage and it has always been awesome. My Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is simply awesome and so has every other device I have ever used it on. Love it.

The 5T is a huge disappointment.

1 - the camera sucks. Even the google hacked camera sucks. - slow and welcome to crash city. HDR+ is second rate.

Front camera crashes

google photos crashes

3rd party cameras are terrible. They take pictures like its 1999. No HDR. If you do install a hacked camera with HDR or 3rd party, get ready to take pics like its 2008 - seconds between the 3 exposures. Time to carry a tripod again.

2 - no face ID. could not get it to work by flashing a hacked face id.

3 - Google Pay - it works if you put the time in to hack it with Magiks.

Those are the 3 main issues. #2 and #3 are important so #2 is the main deal breaker.

I should have tested Oxyogen OS first before installing Lineage. Oxyogen OS is very similar, it has many of the enhancements you are used to. Think of it as a commercial Lineage - it has not lost its roots.

The big deal is the Camera. It is great stuff. Go ahead and test other camera apps and then go back to the one plus camera app. Wow its like coming out of the dark ages.

Just like the post above, stock rom without root is actually fantastic! Dare I say - even better (software) than Vanilla android on a pixel 2XL.

I did open up the boot loader so you can push stuff via adb if for some reason you get stuck in a boot loop.

I hope this post helps someone. I wasted at least 6 hours messing around with hacks trying to get this to work for no reason! Oxogen OS is the rom of my dreams.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] preference:
OOS cam exists on custom ROMs too

I don't use pay so I can't speak on that

AOSP is the way to go imo, but I respect the OOS experience as long as I have RZ kernel installed. Currently on CNP and I am very happy.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] 3lMghraby:
First of all this should have been Custom roms vs OOS

you can get better everything than OOS on custom roms thanks to google camera port.

so I would say this setup would rekt OOS(Latest Pixel Experience Oreo official+ firmware 5.1.3+RedFlare Kernel)

and you basically have everything out your 5T
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] musashiken:
Does lineageos or any custom rom have 16:9 app compatibility mode like in OOS? If not then all custom roms are useless to me.

And I'm not talking about full screen support, that doesn't do anything but stretch non working apps to full screen, further making things worse.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] 3lMghraby:
lineage has that option

also it has expanded desktop feature

most feature full custom roms havethat feature
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] musashiken:
Can you confirm? I'm not talking about full screen support. I'm talking about 16:9 mode where there are 2 black bars at the sides. Not full screen mode where the app gets stretched to fill up the screen.

I have games that cannot work in 18:9 aspect ratio. They have to work in 16:9 ratio. I tried a rom once with a full screen support mode and it does not add 2 black bars at the side.

Only OOS has that option of proper app scaling. I'm pretty sure lineageos does not have that option of app scaling to 16:9.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pyntux:
I was using Xiaomi Mi 5s before OP5T, with Lineage OS on it... Miui was not option for me... So when I looked for phone with Lineage OS experience, but on stock rom, I could buy some budget Android One device, or I could get some OP phone with OOS which is way better. So now, after years of rooting and installing CM/Lineage OS, modding stuff to work properly, I'm using stock rom witout root and it is great.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] tucking fypo:
advantage of oos over any lineage or aosp based rom

1. sensors and networks are better.

2. no hi res audio and usage of DAC on any custom rom. oos uses the DAC to its fullest capabilities while the same phone on lineage or aosp sound poop. when selecting hifi option on uapp, neutron, poweramp custom roms don't even playback audio let alone sound good. FLAC files on headphones like beyerdynamic dt770, ath m50x, fiio fh5 on custom roms sound so bad.

3. fp scanner slightly slower on all custom roms.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] InsaneNutter:
I recently got the 5T and used OxygenOS for two days, then switched to LineageOS.

I disliked not been able to set the notification light to always be on when I got a notification on OxygenOS, I also missed the privacy guard feature and other minor customisations which are possible on LineageOS. However other than that OxygenOS is not bad at all to be fair.

I've personally found LineageOS to be very stable, everything works for me as expected. I wouldn't say the sensors / network is any better or worse personally. My 5T's current up-time is 12 days.

You need to pass safteynet to use Google Pay, which most custom roms will not out the box. This is not just a OnePlus 5T issue, its an issue on most custom roms for most devices. Simply install Magisk and any apps that check against safteynet will work fine. I've been using Magisk for years on my OnePlus One, both for Google Pay and Pokemon Go.

My only complaint is the camera, unless you use HDR the image quality is bad and looks like a water painting when you zoom in. This is somewhat better on OxygenOS, however it's far from perfect regardless of the rom.

However with HDR+ on the Google Camera photos are great. I'd say this applies to both OxygenOS and LineageOS, however with OxygenOS you can record 1080p @ 60fps, which is currently not an option on LineageOS. 4k @ 30fps looks great with Google Camera on LinageOS however.

I can't really comment on face unlock as i don't use it.
[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] 0xng:
Hey,

I'm running a stock P10 on EMUI8 (VTR-L09 8.0.0.379 C02) and I am kinda cuious about LineageOS, or lets say just anything that is close to vanilla. I'm coming from a Nexus 5 and really miss the simplicity.

I've had a look at OpenKirin(.net) and while I find it odd that they do not want me to use TWRP, I guess it's a nice solution for a more free, still updated OS.

So, before I go and ruin everything, let me ask clearly: What are my downsides flashing LOS? Ex. will I loose the dual camera supporting App? Or to say so, any hardware functionality (including turbo charge)? I guess I will loose some Huawei Cloud Services (and thats totally fine!), but will I actually lose function?

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squall90x:
Thanks for your reply, is this solution creating issues with keyboard? Root required?

Thanks again!
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squall90x:
I tried "gesture control", free version doesn't allow to set up the action for just single tap on the pill. I downloaded "Navigation bar remover", but I didn't try it. Have you tried on Moto X-2?

So I jumped on the XDA App "Navigation Gestures". Free version allows all customization enough for my use. I used the Hide Navigation Bar function included (with root) and it seems ok. I tried also again "Gesture Control" app, and behaviour is the same.

Indeed integration of these nav bar is not full, as stock nav bar. The pill stays on overlay, and it could be prevented to be kicked up by the keyboard, if enough thin, it doesn't create any problem.

Positive compared to stock one is the gain of screen portion covered by stock navigation bar.
