When I try to encrypt my device, it appears to start encryption but fails and it appears to have done a quick reboot. The whole process lasts about 30 seconds. Phone does not encrypt, this entire failure process lasts 30 seconds. Any idea what could be causing this? I have formatted my phone done a clean flash. I am lost.

Is this a known bug or am I an isolated case?

Does anyone know if this FW is leaked for download? Or if I flash the sprint fw with this build without userdate if the att bloat will install based off my sim? (i need carrier features)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] jpcdeux:
You can flash CRF5 still and be fine. The bootloader didn't change and that's what matters.

If you download it from updato.com and download say, the VZW labeled firmware it will essentially be the same as all carriers are included. When you flash it, sensing your sim card's carrier it will install the proper files.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Krissrock:
After the july or june update... I noticed that I can no longer share to text conversations that contain more than 2 other recipients.

I've been getting no where with Samsung support via twitter..and At&t said the updates was all samsungs fault...

But if I want to share anything, from any app, or the within the native OS... for example, if I go to pictures, select a picture and hit Share > select messages > the conversations > I should see all of the conversations that are available on the phone via the native messages app.

But I don't.

Any text/conversation that has more has more than 2 other recipients (a group of 3 including me) is not listed at all. Missing.

and they're not under "Groups" either... And "group conversations" is turned in the settings obviously...

I have a group texts of 4 members and one with 5 .. whatever I need to send them, I have to save it first..then go straight to messages and hit + there to send it.

why the **** would they remove this functionality?

am I the only person seeing this?

Another question is will I still receive future updates (if there will be) if I flash FTF files?
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] freeZbies:
I followed many guides out there and none worked, phone would always bootloop or freeze at Motorola's logo.

Now I've found a way to do it.

You can use the files attached below.

INSTALLATION

1.back up your system, data and boot partition. If the process fails restoring those will revert the changes.

2.Download and flash Magisk 15.3 (later versions didn't work for me, phone wouldn't boot at all) through twrp.

3.Flash the latest f2fs loop back work around.

4. Flash magisk manager for recovery (mm-2018.8.1.zip attached below)

5.Boot your phone

UPDATING TO MAGISK 16.0

Once the phone has booted:

1.install magisk manager 5.8.3 (attached below)

2.Open magisk manager

3.if any update is available for magisk manager, install it.

4.click on the button that tells you to update magisk to latest version.

IMPORTANT:

5. Select the direct installation method. Flashing the update through recovery will render the phone unable to boot again.

That's it, thanks.

=======

Downloads:

Magisk 15.3

f2fs-loopback-bug-workaround-2018.8.1.zip

mm-2018.8.1.zip

Magisk Manager v5.8.3.apk
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
Interesting.

For what is the magisk manager for recovery needed?
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] freeZbies:
Magisk 15.3 doesn't come with magisk manager, so you either have to flash it from recovery or install the provided apk directly.

EDIT: Mm for recovery is actually a module that allows you to list and Uninstall modules from Twrp in case your phone no longer boots after flashing a module.

and you're correct, magisk 15.3 does include magisk manager and will install it. the problem I had is that I flashed magisk 15.3 over a system where either the boot.img was already patched, and I experienced that magisk manager sometimes wont be installed in these cases
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nicolap8:
This is not true. The (original) Magisk 15.3 has inside the MM and will install it.
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] freeZbies:
Well, I may be not well informed then, but upon flashing magisk 15.3, magisk manager did not show up in my device.
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
At least it's inside the official 15.3. But I remember that MM was often not installed in earlier builds.
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sonisudhanshu:
I Got Another Method Also

1. I Flashed oreo soak.

2. booted it up and set my moto g5 .

3. went to boot loader and flashed (64bit) TWRP .... (i know that this is a 32 bit rom)

4. Backed up EFS.

5. Didnt boot it and went to bootloader again

6. flashed 32 bit recovery .

7. Flashed No-verify-opt-6.0

8. Booted . ( it was working.)

9. installed latest magics manager.

10. downloaded latest magicx.zip

11 booted to twrp

12 flashed magics16(1600)

13. Booted and it started working like charm. (Had some problems with safetynetcheck)

14. Pls Dont Point Your Fingers At Me If Your Device Stops Booting.

15 . Most important ...... Enjoy
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
One question, why do you flash a 64bit recovery in-between? You can backup efs with official TWRP too, just persist needs a special unofficial build (or you can do it by dd command).

Are you sure that no-verity.zip is needed?

That job should be done by magisk.
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] freeZbies:
As far as I know official twrp doesn't backup any of those. I'm on 3.2.3.0 official and it doesnt offer an option to backup neither efs nor persist.
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
I'm on 3.2.2.0 and it offers the ability to backup EFS, 3.2.1.0 also.

As said, for persist there are several unofficial builds but you can back it up with those commands in TWRP terminal:

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist of=/sdcard/persist.img

for backup and

dd if=/sdcard/persist.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist

for restore.
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sonisudhanshu:
1. Because I didn't have any option to backup efs in twrp.32.bit

2. I was not sure but I just flashed it so that no problem occurs like booting issue..

Hope this helps
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sonisudhanshu:
Guys pls keep one thing in mind.

Rooting causes some issue.

If you are installing soak 8.1 , then this post is for you.

First of all , there is no fully independent rom for soak test , i mean that its an ota , so rooting this rom will prevent you from upgrading via ota, so you will have to go to 7.0 then 8.1 then any further ota, which is time comsuming..... If this helped , i would be gladed

[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] G5-User7080:
Please Update!

Using the currently newest version which is Magisk18.0.zip (flashed in twrp64bit) Magisk Manager showed up in my device app list, then installed the currently newest apk, which is MagiskManager-v6.1. After that i had root. I only flashed f2fs after magisk, no mm_for_recovery.

Quick question: what exactly is that f2fs bug which that file should fix? Because after i installed twrp i had to factory reset or format data that i was able to flash things (there were red lines while trying to flash, telling me that data is encrypted or so and i have to forma data). But even though i did and tried then your versions & mm_for_recovery (which didnt work at all, no root) when i wanted to restore the boot & system image i made earlier as you said there was that text again, telling me i need to format data,.. did that, restored, flashed new versions and it worked, but im afraid that i need to format dat now everytime i want to flash something ?!

Greetings 7080
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] woozie.2007:
in oreo stock you dont need f2fs bug module, because is working without it
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
Also the mm for recovery is not for gaining root access, it's for uninstalling modules through TWRP when you're in a bootloop for example.
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] G5-User7080:
Ah, ty, i have no idea what that exactly is, i guess i read something about it yesterday but i already forgot :D

Somehow i have Problems with my data partition,.. sometimes it fails when i format it or do factory reset, however, i was able to fix that by changing the file system to ext4 and formatting again, but i wanna find out what is causing this, any chance it could be that f2fs workaround thing?
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] woozie.2007:
i dont think so, I rooted in that method, after update to oreo 8.1 stock, i flash official terp, then I flashed no verity 6.0 adn then format data partition. After that i booted in android, it say is encrypted, i can't decrypt it, but it works very well. I rooted two moto g5 stock oreo in that mode. Good luck
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
I rooted a Moto G5+ running latest Oreo (October security patch) with magisk and didn't need the f2f2 loopback bug fix.

But I heard from the developer of the Oreo TWRP flashable ROMs that not every 8.1 version has that bug fixed.

What that fix does, in short:

Some kernels from devices with F2FS-formatted data partition (i.e., Motorola) have a bug which prevents loopback devices (.img files) from being mounted read-write. This limits systemless modifications that can otherwise be achieved with Magisk.

That means in particular you can't install magisk modules. The loopback bug module moves magisk from data to cache partition.

So if you can't decrypt your data partition by formatting it (F2FS) and flashing magisk right after it without a reboot in between it may be possible that the bug is still present.

In that case you can give it a try and flash the fix from TWRP, maybe one of the older versions because the latest ones doesn't work for everyone.
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] G5-User7080:
hmm, i did as follows:

flash stock (oreo) be sure sparsechunk 0-8 are ALL flashed

let phone start and turn it off again

flash twrp

boot recovery and factory reset

reboot recovery

flash magisk 18

reboot system

install magisk 6.1 apk

The thing is, when i dont reboot recovery after its installation the system will overwrite it with stock recovery and as far as i understood i need to reboot twrp for that.

I just did as i did for Nougat there regarding the post from 'Johny Cipeli':

6. In the Decrypt /data screen, press cancel, then "Swipe to Allow Modifications"

7. Go to WIPE, then "Swipe to Factory Reset"

8. Come back to TWRP main menu, go to REBOOT, then RECOVERY, then DO NOT INSTALL

So should i do then:

flash stock (oreo) be sure sparsechunk 0-8 are ALL flashed

let phone start and turn it off again

flash twrp

boot recovery

reboot recovery

format data

flash magisk 18

reboot system

install magisk 6.1 apk

or is this irrelevant if i first format data, then reboot twrp and then flash magisk?

Why do you flash no-verity? I tried that out earlier but it made no difference on the standard encryption.

I tryed a bit around with the data errors and found some things out, would you mind switching to this thread for the following?

Thank you for helping me, I just get totally confused by the Oreo process,.. worked so easy on nougat :(
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] woozie.2007:
i flashed no verity because i want to decrypt the phone, but i didnt do that, not works, but works twrp for flashing, backup and restore without any problems. I cant say because of no verity or not, but it works. My phone is encrypted, but rooted with magisk 18.0 and i can install any module i want
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] G5-User7080:
As far as i know from 'TheFixItMan', he said that the 32bit twrp is able to surpass the encryption somehow, if you take a look in the log it (f.e. after flashing sth) at the very beginning it says "Successfully decrypting data". When you use a twrp64 bit its normally not able to modify data because it cant access encrypted data.

But i guess this is kind of a standard encryption and not the "real encryption" could that be?

Because, i thought encryption means, you have to enter a password on boot to decrypt it.

When you set up your password under security you can choose to enter it on boot and then it will ask you for this password everytime BEFORE booting your system, and this will also be your password to decrypt data for twrp then. But i dont know if thats the "real encryption" or that standatd thing is, too, but just decrypts automatically on boot.
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] woozie.2007:
agreed, if i setup a password before booting system, then in twrp i must to put the password to decrypt data, if i put the password after booting system, then twrp dont need the password

I have A Canadian S9+ model SM-G965W and downloaded the following Combination Files including the the American version which i read on a forum would work for the Canadian version so that I can get into the phone to gain develop access, factor reset and flash with original ROM. I have downloaded the following combination files: Combination_FAC_FA80_G965U1QU1ARBA.ZIP, Combination file G965WVLU1ARBG_G965WOYV1ARBG_GLW and file Combination_OXM_FA80_G965FXXU1ARB7_OXMFAC_CL13084894_QB17151834_REV01_user...rar which I downloaded off the web.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
Make sure you installed the samsung USB driver and have the phone in download mode.

Also USB debugging needs to be enabled. If you can enable developer options under settings and toggle USB debugging there. Otherwise unless you have somehow or another fudged it good just boot the phone normally and obtain the Google account information to access the phone. Then when you gain access be sure to factory reset it normally as to remove that lock.

There are videos and etc. on YouTube which discuss using some sort of automation application to enable USB debugging... I dont kmow if that is safe or if it works. Personally I would just get the person who had the Google account to disable the FRP lock, factory reset it.

Otherwise there are 3rd party pay for services that help with the FRP lock.
