S5 LineageOS 16.0 - Magisk V19.0 Beta - Reboots in Download Mode

Thanks :good: for reporting this guys.

It's important to mention which version exactly that you installed: Magisk V19.0 Beta as a future v19 version may work properly.

Maybe you could edit your posts please & include your exact phone model & firmware build date also?

In the Magisk Release thread @ the present if you hover over Latest Stable it links to Magisk-v18.1.zip and over Latest Beta: Magisk-v19.0.zip.

[MENTION=9095328]etillxd[/MENTION] reported the same here in the Magisk General Support / Discussion thread:

Edit: [MENTION=2513290]dnsmo[/MENTION] also posted this here:

Edit 2: - An other S5 kltedv 16.0 user reported the same problem in the LineageOS subreddit here: "...and finally the Magisk v19.0 .zip before hitting Reboot --> System. However, it booted into Download/Odin mode...".

Edit 3: - [MENTION=8545032]roles75[/MENTION] posted here: "SAMSUNG-G900F with LineagOS16.0 Android9 (Build: lineag_klte-userdebug 9 PQ2A.190305.002 1966eb3313) After installing Magisk 19.0, the device boots only in download mode! When I install Magisk18.1 the operating system is loaded..."

Edit 4: - [MENTION=6449508]derektubby[/MENTION] posted here: "That makes seven. Same Lineage and Magisk versions, same problem whichever way I try to install Magisk."

So that's seven S5 LineageOS 16.0 users reporting a reboot to Download Mode issue with Magisk v19.0 beta so far. :eek:

Maybe you guys could post in that thread to help the development of Magisk & see this Magisk Help page by [MENTION=4667597]Didgeridoohan[/MENTION] about including logs: https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHelp

And/or submit an issue to topjohnwu/Magisk on GitHub with logs: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues

Searching that Magisk General Support / Discussion tread with magisk 19 download mode returns several results.

Meanwhile in Magisk Manager > Settings > Update Channel: select Stable instead of Beta to be on the safe side.

The fact that NFC didn't work with the unofficial ROM was possibly the only reason for me to install the official one.

But after flashing it together with Addonsu, Google Pay refused to run, with a message that I can't remember exactly but had something to see with the rooted device.

So, I re-flashed the very same ROM with no Addonsu, and now Google Pay works just fine, as does NFC.

That said, even if I don't really "need" a rooted device, it's a bit annoying to have Power Toggles and some other apps working just partially...

By chance, is there any way to install Addonsu and have Google Pay still working as it should?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
It should be OK if you disable root in Developer Options.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Ibuprophen:
Just a quick update following my last post (I had just quoted).

I updated the following Issue...

Difficulty in Maintaining Root on LineageOS 16.0 (klte) device... - LineageOS Gitter Issue #379

... In short, it states that, for me, manually updating the LineageOS Firmware had reflected very good, as opposed to using the LineageOS built-in Update feature.

A few minor issues that was fairly easy to address but, the only one worth mentioning was that I had to reboot back into TWRP to flash the OpenGApps again that resolved the Play Store issue.

Regarding the Play Store issue, it was weird that the icon for it was there but, the icon image was the Generic Droid one and didn't launch at all. To my relief, flashing the OpenGApps package again (in TWRP) had resolved this.

So, from now on, it looks like I'll continue to update the firmware manually and add the GApps package to the flashing order.

This is just my experience, resolve, etc... and I have no intention in stating that this will also be anything you will/won't experience yourself.

So far so good and I'm pretty Happy with the Results of the above information. :thumbup:

Just wanted to provide my follow-up feedback regarding the issue and I do hope that this was helpful for someone else.

Thank you all very much! :)

Hi

I have lineage 16. 0 - 20190209 UNOFFICIAL on my SM G-900F, but I have battery drain. I have downloaded GSam battery but I don't understand from where I have the problem.I put a image from the GSam app.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] MapisM:
Interesting to hear, I didn't think to try that after I flashed the new rom together with Addonsu.

Would it be OK if I just flash Addonsu now, without re-installing everything?

And if the trick wouldn't work, is there a way to remove Addonsu?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Reverse-anastomosis:
Its official now. Try the latest official build.

From the main screen tap the "App Usage" line or the second icon from the left at the bottom of the screen. That takes you to the "App Sucker" screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Yes. There is a removal add-on too. Just flash them with Twrp, anytime.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] MapisM:
...

Thanks fitittome for your hints.

Just in case anyone else might be interested, I just flashed Addonsu.

I checked a few apps which can use root for extended functions (Power Toggles, SD Maid, Greenify): root access granted, and they work just fine.

Then I re-checked Google Pay (which I installed before flashing Addonsu), and apparently it's working fine and doesn't return any error message, WITHOUT disabling root in Developer Options!

Of course, the proof of the pudding will be the next time I will actually use it to pay something, but at the moment it looks like it's sufficient to root the device AFTER installing GPay, to keep it working. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Indeed. And just goes to show that with this splendid old device, a few fortunate quirks of the addonsu and the kernel, you don't actually need things like Magisk. Opps, and not forgetting the tireless work of [MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION] of course.

Edit: but I do think you will have to disable root, in Dev Options to use GPay! lol.

Wrong Thread - Locked S5 G900V w/ CID 11

Man XDA is not a free for all like Facebook. It's structured by devices & threads have topics.

You already got replies with links pointing to the proper threads for your "verizon's S5 g900v" with the EMMC_11 Locked Bootloader on which you cannot install LineageOS 16.0 and this thread is about LineageOS 16.0 so post in those threads & please stop posting in this one unless you sell your S5 G900V & buy an other one with the unlockable EMMC_15 Bootloader or an other S5 klte + variants model.

Looking to buy locally a used S5 w/ LineageOS support I was surprised by all the different models for sale so I used https://www.frequencycheck.com/ (includes search by carrier or by phone model option) to check if they were LTE compatible for my country & my provider and cross-checked with the list of supported models in the post #1 of the 15.1 thread: [ROM][OFFICIAL] LineageOS 15.x.

Need the Rom to Flash GApps? Why in the unofficial Rom that I have install I have flash and GApps.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] curiousrom:
"Thank you for the help." - You are welcome. Feel free to hit the Thanks :good: button on the posts that you find useful. It's always appreciated & may indicate to other users that the post can be useful to them too.

Yes https://download.lineageos.org/klte is the link to the official LineageOS 16.0 for your S5 SM-G900F klte.

"...Need the Rom to Flash GApps? Why in the unofficial Rom that I have install I have flash and GApps" - I described here exactly how I installed official 16.0 over unofficial 16.0 without having to re-install all my apps & yes it includes flashing the LineageOS + Open GApps in one go, one after the other without rebooting in between: Official 16.0 for S5 2019-03-01 - Dirty Flash Report.

After rebooting to System, you can install a rooting method @ anytime as described in Old Unofficial 16.0 - Google Pay, NFC Payments & Root Method.

After running that setup successfully for 2 weeks I did a S5 LineageOS Super Clean Install including a Google Backup that I restored as soon as I booted to System the first time. My Google backup was huge @ 1.3 GB so make sure you have a quick wifi connection if you do that.

It restored 90% of my settings & did not include the apps that I installed manually from other source than Google Play obviously.

Always do a full TWRP backup before doing any of this so you can go back quickly to your current setup by restoring that backup in case something goes wrong.

Could you do me a favor & fix the broken quote box in your post here and add [/QUOTE] after the *** like this: ***[/QUOTE]. Thanks in advance.

Good that you sorted that out.

"... the NFC antenna is in the battery" - Well it comes with some batteries & it's not really inside. It's under the wrapper on one side of the battery. See the photos & video link in Fake vs OEM S5 Samsung Battery .

Please stop repeatedly asking the same question in this thread. It has nothing to do with LineageOS.

If you're interested in rooting a Verizon Galaxy S5 (G900V), there is a separate section for it here:

https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5

Please read through it, or better yet, use the search function, you will surely find what you need.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] ElIT3ShOOT3R:
Thanks.

BTW Wifi icon is sometimes shown as a white dot. Is this a bug?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Ibuprophen:
It looks like the "White Dot" itself (on Android Pie) is a type of an overflow indicator. Just as the left side also does this as well.

The dot on the right simply means that there's are overflow of notification icons (ie... Do Not Disturb icon, headphone icon, etc... ). Maybe if you turn off something like your battery percentage indicator, it'll make room for the additional notification icons. It more like something that requires additional space.

So even if the WiFi is the only additional icon, it just may be that there's no room, simply, for the size of the Icon itself.

I hope I had explained this okay via text... :thumbup:

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] MapisM:
Unfortunately, disabling root in Dev Options was not enough to fool GPay: it starts normally and seems to work when launched as an app, and it also senses the NFC connection.

But eventually, it doesn't process the payment. Unsurprinsingly, I must say: in fact, my 900F fails the SafetyNet test, regardless of whether root is enabled or not in Dev Options.

Darn, I'm not sure it's worth going the Magisk route, I'm not such a great fan of GPay anyhow...

But just in case I would wish to try, should I just flash Magisk-v18.1.zip on my device as it is (currently with 31.3 build + Addonsu), or should I remove Addonsu first, or do anything else that I'm missing?

If still having issues, try dirty flash the rom again(no wipe), reboot, then back to twrp

Flash Magisk 18.1

Reboot

Hope that helps :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
The last time I looked at this was probably a year or two ago. Google periodically scans the device and if it detects root you've had it. Back then, clearing Google Play cache would fix it etc. But Google are always checking in better and better ways . Can you manage without root? If you can Gpay will work without Magisk.

Magisk On Top Of Addonsu, LED Notifications Bug & Status Bar Icons

Thanks :good: for reporting back :cool:

"...should I just flash Magisk-v18.1.zip on my device as it is (currently with 31.3 build + Addonsu), or should I remove Addonsu first" - YES you must remove the LineageOS Addonsu first!

Never run two rooting methods at the same time. That would be like inviting two girlfriends @ the same restaurant @ the same time while they don't know the existence of the other. :eek:

In Old Unofficial 16.0 - Google Pay, NFC Payments & Root Method I described how to remove Addonsu but also this:

According to recent posts in this thread in this page the Magisk uninstaller does not remove everything that Magisk installs so I suggest doing a full TWRP backup before trying Magisk.

Magisk v19.0 Fail

"... then Magisk 18. Says it wasn't rooted" - Where did it say that?

It's a known issue with Magisk v19.0 beta. See S5 LineageOS 16.0 - Magisk V19.0 Beta - Reboots in Download Mode.

"...Magisk 18" - Do you mean 18.1? It's important to give the exact app version, exact phone model & LineageOS build date for proper troubleshooting.

***

LED Notifications & Status Bar Icons

[MENTION=6330684]shkedov[/MENTION] already replied but you can also search for Light in Settings for other options.

BTW the LED notification does not work for stock Messaging, Calendar, Reddit, XDA app & some other stuff but works for WhatsApp. Will post later w/ more details about it. That's on S5 G900M LineageOS 16.0 klte build 2019-03-27 + Open GApps Pico + LineageOS Addonsu, super clean install (with Format Data instead of wipe).

I like the battery % as it's more precise. Sadly there is no option to remove the battery icon & keep only the %. Seems redundant to me.

I see in ElIT3ShOOT3R's screenshot 10:03 PM. You don't know if it's PM or AM? ;) Settings > Status bar > AM/PM style > select Hidden. While there you can disable some icons in > System icons so they don't always show on the Status bar. For example I have daily alarms so I disabled that icon & also the Auto-rotate & Headset.

If using Addonsu, to remove the # su icon when running a rooted app: after toggling off some icons in the Status bar settings, navigate to /data/system/users/0/settings_secure.xml, (backup settings_secure.xml just in case) and edit it with a root enabled editor like the awesome QuickEdit for example: find the line with name="icon_blacklist" and add su in value like this: value="rotate,alarm_clock,headset,su", Save & reboot.

This tweak survives LineageOS updates.

Be extra careful not to mess up anything in that settings_secure.xml file otherwise brace for possible boot loops.

***
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] MapisM:
Well, yes, I could.

But on balance, for me it isn't worth giving up the root-dependant functionalities of some apps, just to run Gpay that I wouldn't use a lot anyhow...

---------- Post added at 00:45 ---------- Previous post was at 00:37 ----------

Haha, yeah, makes sense.

Actually, I already tried Magisk (18.1) with the unofficial ROM, and it worked just fine.

So, maybe I'll go that route eventually, when I'll have time to install it.

Since I'm not in a hurry, do you think it's better to wait till version 19 will be OK?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Deydacar3:
Hey, guys. I decided to install linageos again to test it on my g900p. It's a great job you do.

I would like to ask for your help to solve a problem I have since Lineage OS 14.1. All my music is hosted on the micro sd card. When I play it with the native player, everything works fine. The only thing that doesn't work are the effects of the Audio FX app. This app doesn't work with headphones when I play music from my micro sd card, but it does work with streaming music, and youtube videos for example.

I've already tried a lot of music players, and the only one that works for me is the VLC FOR ANDROID player. This player already has its effects integrated, but in my case, I don't activate them, I simply use the VLC player and with this one if the Audio FX app works very well when I play music from my micro sd card. I've had this problem since Lineage OS 14.1 and since then I haven't been able to find a way to make the Eleven music player and Audio FX apps work together when I play music hosted on the micro sd.

Personally I like to use the native applications of this Rom to not use apps of third parties. It would be great if there is a solution to this small problem that comes from Lineage OS 14.1. Hopefully some of the developers can solve it. If anyone has the solution I would appreciate it if you would share it. Thank you very much in advance. Greetings!

Thank you. Unfortunately, now TWRP shows "External SD Card (0mb)" with two different micro SD cards.

Magisk 18.1. SM-G900V. BusyBox Pro wouldn't install because not rooted or something. Titanium Backup wouldn't backup/restore.

That's when I installed Magisk Manager-7.1.1-5b30c774 and it downloaded Magisk 19. I installed that and it was booting to download mode only. Now TWRP say "External SD Card (0mb)" so I'm stuck.

I don't see a real solution. Some workarounds are:

Use vanilla player from f-droid

Use viper module from magisk

Try switching around with audioFX and mono audio in system settings.

I've crossed an issue regarding the native email app, it seems working in background at least all my IMAP accounts shows new mails, but only if I open the email app.

I've done a clean flash with mindthegapps, no root.

Steps that I've done:

Clear cache : google services, google, exchange services, email app.

Clear dalvik + cache in recovery.

Forced as non optimized app in battery as well for exchange services.

Tested Gmail IMAP sync notifications work fine.

Still not getting notifications working in the native email app.

What am I missing?

I just wanted to provide you with a suggestion/recommendation...

If you see an issue that was previously reported, on Gitter for LineageOS, I would like to encourage that you provide your report/information within that same (previously reported issue) along with any supporting documentation attached to it.

This will help provide more of a voice to an issue to help the Lineage Team with further fixes and such.

There's nothing wrong with reporting the issue here but, just keep in mind that the Official Lineage Team Maintainer(s) aren't on XDA on a regular basis (or set time period).

Thanks a bunch! [emoji106]

OK here's the rub. I have 2 galaxy S5 Model: SM-G900F

Device type: klte and an HTC One M8 and all three devices are network unlocked.

I have 2 sim cards., one is for the vodaphone network in UK and the other is for giffgaff which tuns on the O2 network in the UK

The giffgaff sim (O2) worked in all 3 phones when the M8 was running 9 pie and the S5s rooted stock. As was the vodaphone sim.

I have installed lineage 9 pie on both the S5s

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

I did a twrp backup for all devices including efs before flashing 9 and on one of the S5s I flashed the firmware from the XDA links using Odin.

Totally clean wipe and format of data before install on S5s and mobile data has worked sometimes during setup and shortly after. But once I reboot the phone the mobile data stops working on the S5s but works fine on the M8 when using the giffgaff sim yet the vodaphone still works on all three.

Rehashing the efs from the twrp backup makes no difference. Editing, adding, deleting APNs makes no difference.

Restoring the S5s to their Android 6.x from TWRP data works on the giffgaff sins on all devices.

I updated one of the S5s during the week using the lineage updater and data worked fire a while. Rebooted to recovery to capture a working backup but when I rebooted data has stopped again and it didn't work when I restored the backup I just created.
