Hey Guys,

As we all know, our Zenfone 2 has a slightly different method for installing Magisk. It is often confusing to install Magisk Properly and there is sheer lack of proper guides and support for the same for our device.

I was recently looking to install magisk in order to get banking apps to work on my device and also get the play store device status to "Certified".

My Device is as follows:

Device: Asus Zenfone 2 | ZE551ML | 4GB RAM | 32 GB ROM

ROM: Lineage 14.1 Last Official Build and January 2019 Gapps (from openGapps)

Xposed: NO

Any other root modifications: NO

Now, you might be wondering what is the need of this guide.

Firstly, there are no threads that point to the procedure for installing latest Magisk (i.e. 18 and 18.1) for our devices.

I found it depressing taht we only had threads for Magisk 16 and 17.1 and none after that.

Secondly, the method i am going to show you, will work on all future versions of magisk. All very easily.

Thus this eliminates the need for multiple magisk version threads.

I would like to request you guys to report as and when a newer magisk version is released to report whether the method still works. So that we know this is still useful.

So lets start with the procedure:

1. A clean ROM is recommended without any modifications. Else all the effort would go waste if the CTS Test fails eventually.

So, backup your important stuff, format system, data, cache partitions in TWRP and clean flash your ROM of choice along with Gapps

2. Download Magisk from the Official Thread linked Here.

3. Download VerifiedBootsigner v8 from Here. This is designed by the Legendary Chainfire , the brains behind the legendary SuperSU.

4. I would recommed you to finish the setup of your device. i,e, ROM + Gapps first.

Then Reboot into recovery and flash Magisk zip downloaded from the link above in step 2.

5. After flashing Magisk, flash the VerifiedBootSigner v8 downloaded from the link above in step 3.

6. After successful flashing, reboot your Device and open Magisk Manager from the drawer. and Check your safetynet status.

7. You will get 2 green tics.

SUCCESS!

Hi,

I have a Quest unit that is stuck in bootloader. I can exit bootloader via the titan_exitbl, but the rom is corrupt. It is running SPL-1.06.0000

I can't get an activesync connection, so is there another way to update the bootloader to the Olipro version, so I can load the sprint rom, etc?

I've tried updating the ROM via SD and it states not allow, which I presume means the unit is still locked. But since bootloader is the only working, how do I recover it?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Your phone isn't unlocked yet, so flash the stock rom and radio so you can boot into windows, unlock your phone with 2.40, then run the sprint update

Hide the Magisk Manager too (from app's setting). It worked for me when i did that and make sure your Magisk Manager isn't system app.(Package rename will not work if it is)

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] met911:
Apparently Pixel phones does not route connections correctly. I have an issue with a wifi device in my car. My car connects to phone through wifi for music and other services but since this wifi has no internet, my phone automatically keeps data on. When this happens, the car app does not detect the connection because apparently the Pixel phone routes all data through only the "Active connection" which is cellular in this case, if i turn off data, then the app works. This is a petty as its' working fine with other phones like Samsung or iPhone.

Also the car actually needs the data connection on my phone for navigation, update, etc... and with this scenario, it does not work.

I made a test at home with a router. I connected the phone to router which has no internet connection, i then opened chrome and put the gateway address and it did not open the router page. I then disabled data and it was able to open the router page. Again, this is only with the pixel; other phones work even if i don't disable data.

I have seen similar issues with also other WiFi devices. See below link

https://forum.dji.com/thread-103340-1-1.html#post_858055

Any thoughts or nothing can be done with this pixel phone.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ahent:
Under settings- network and internet- wi-fi- wifi preferences- advanced there is a setting called switch to mobile automatically. Turn this off, it turns mobile data on when there is no wifi but you are connected to WiFi. Give it a try and report back.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ahent:
One more option not sure it will be work but worth a try. In developer options (if you don't know how to enable it Google it) under networking there is a toggle for mobile data is always active. Mine is toggled on, see if yours is and change that option to see if it makes any difference. If it's off turning it on may bring in the other option in the settings menu, if it's already on, turning it off may do the same thing as the other option in the settings menu does for me.

Which would be a better choice?

?

Thank you in advance!
[Mogul, XV6800 General] SC-Manhattan:
I just recently resigned with Telus on a three year contract that gives me unlimited data for $30/month. Apparently it was offered around Xmas for $15/month. The only restriction is that you cannot use it to tether to your laptop for a data connection through the phone. My question is how do they know? Does the laptop broadcast a different MAC or something that enables Telus to identify whether or not your tethering?

By the way, Thanks to all contributers that have made this phone rock!
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Total_Lag:
i dont think there is anyway they know besides observing the type of data youre transmitting/receiving and how much. been tethering for a long time now with no problems.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] sseguin613:
Which plan is it you are on exactly? i can`t find any info on this on the telus website. I would switch immediately if i can find the info.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] SC-Manhattan:
It's not on the website but if you phone Telus they have it. My Apex rep in Surrey knew about it and set me up. I think it might expire today or tomorrow so hurry. My P4000 was stolen last month and I needed to replace it. I was only 18 months into a 3 year contract and only had a $200 bonus on my account for a new phone and contract. I was able to talk directly to Telus and get them to let me back into that phone for the $199 on a three year contract. The phone is around $550 without contract.

This is the first time I've seen unlimited data for a reasonable price in Canada.

I still think that there is a way they know your tethering. Perhaps the MAC address is the identifier. I hope someone can shed further light into this. It would be nice if Telus is just saying this to stop me but really don't have a mechanism to identify if you are tethering or not.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Coolpics:
Offers available until May 4, 2008. Hurry UP!!!

Check on this page, and links on the right side.

http://www.telusmobility.com/bc/services/pcs/email_im_15.shtml
[Mogul, XV6800 General] origins81:
More detailed info on the link below

Select telus smartphones and select the phone you want and it'll show you available plan options for that particular model.

They were offering unlimited internet, email and IM for $15 during the xmas period thru till valentines day, now they re-packaged it for $30 or $45, whatever suits your taste. Way better than any other carrier in Canada.

Funny enough even though it says unlimited, there still is a cap on how much data you can use. It's capped, not quite too sure at how many gigs, but go over that and they will charge you $8/MB. A clause embedded in the plan stating that they have discretion over what they think is abuse of the service.

Only reason I know this is I have a friend of mine who got drunk of the service and used his pda to download content he would normally dl using his home pc, try guessing his reaction when his phone bill came up to $789!! they were courteous enough to send him an itemized bill tracking his usage to fully explain the charges. I thought it was freaking hilarious! I guess moral being If you MUST tether, do it reasonably or don't at all.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] Coolpics:
Thank you so much for detailed explanation. I didn't know too much about this, but went directly to $45 when I discovered that promo because that's what I need. Comparing with my initial $25 / 4MB, $45 isn't bad.

I believe as long as I stay on email checkup, and news, stock, and weather update, should be safe.

Question is, if this X-Max, the $15 plan comes back again, am I still eligible to change?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] origins81:
Initially it was first introduced for new clients only but then they extended the offer to existing clients, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to sign up when and if they re-introduce it, it was such a huge success. It can be used as an add-on to your existing plan.

PS: xmas i meant christmas:)
[Mogul, XV6800 General] spiralspirit:
I got the $15 unlimited internet plan around christmas-time. The only stipulation was that the voice+data plan had to go above $45. Originally it was just being offered for certain phones, then they opened it up to every smartphone. I told all my friends about it, only a couple got it. Now they raised the price to $30 and the ones that missed out are kicking themselves.

I use my phone connection with my laptop using PDANET. great program, invisible tethering.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] dave3211:
No Fee for Tethering

Will Internet Connection Sharing ICS (found file on XDA Developers) do the same job as PDAnet at masking tethering to laptop?
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] mikekoz:
I use an app called Mood for all my SMS messaging and really like it. It is working perfectly on my V40, but every morning at the same time I am getting a spam message in the Messaging app and the notification goes to my smart watch. It is really annoying , but I do not know how to stop it. The message does not come to the Mood app, just to Messaging. There is also no apparent way of blocking it in Messaging. The phone will not let me uninstall or disable the Messaging app. I think I am pretty much out of luck, but though I would ask all you people at XDA. If anybody would have a solution, somebody here would!

Edit: There is a "mute" option in Messaging that I just activated for this message. Did not notice this before. I will find out tom morn if this works!
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] Einsteindks:
Long click on the app icon, tap on the i in circle option, go to permissions and untick every one of them. Then, go to storage and wipe data and cache. That should do it. While you're there, you may also want to disable it, undo every access the app possibly could have. Whittle it down to nothing more than taking up space in the system partition
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] mikekoz:
I did all of that, plus installed an app called Package Disabler for LG devices, disabled Messaging in it, and I am still getting this message every morn. The mystery deepens!
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] Einsteindks:
Sounds like a 'push notification' from an app, not a regular text message.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] grabber5.0:
Verizon model? Is the spam message related to the app or something else?

If you get another notification, long press it in the notification screen and disable notifications from the app.

Hello!

I had the same problem...

I bogth Note 9 from ebay USA... from some guy...

and when I wanted to update Android to 9.0 version... I got MDM mode problem...

solution I found here!!!

All what you need to do is:

activate ADB (anyhow) I will attach application...

and type:

adb shell

pm disable-user --user 0 com.sec.knox.kccagent

pm disable-user --user 0 com.planetcellinc.ressvc

pm disable-user --user 0 com.absolute.android.agent

pm disable-user --user 0 com.sec.enterprise.knox.cloudmdm.smdms

reboot bootloader

and than You can flash any firmware you want with Odin.

if you wish to change region (CSC) - you need to disable these knox apps after every reinstall of ROM. (My was for TTT region... and I shifted to MXO).

I would be more concerned about how MDM Mode is enabled in the first place. IIRC MDM Mode is used for either Samsung Retail Mode or Enterprise Enrollment. Considering you bought this phone second-hand its possible this device was stolen. However its also possible this was just a mistake by the previous owner. I would advise contacting the seller for a refund or replacement.
