[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] daina:
Not sure how I got here.

Yesterday, went to pay at a Grocery Story with Google Pay, got a message that said "You can no longer pay in stores with Google Pay." Magisk seemed okay, seemed like I was passing SafetyNet (tried two different apps, including Magisk's built-in checker). No big deal, paid the old-fashioned way.

Today, I decided since Magisk or Google Pay was going to be that way, I might as well update EMUI—I've put it off for a good six months or so, because everything was working fine. Now that it wasn't, why not do the whole shebang?

Update went smoothly. Now on B376 (I think).

Updated Magisk. Patched boot.img, all that.

Now, however, I'm getting this screen, and I think somewhere I must have flashed the wrong Magisk. I'm still rooted (Adaway works), but MagiskManager won't get past this screen.

Any ideas on how to do this properly so Magisk and MagiskManager are on the same page?

Hi Daina,

same problem here with a HTC U11. Unfortunately no ideas and no workaround yet.

---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------

Hi Daina

I downloaded the new Magisk Release 18.1 from github.com and installed the ZIP File via TWRP. After a reboot everything works fine now.

TE]
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] daina:
Thanks for this.

Just downloaded Magisk 18.1.zip from Github. It's currently on my computer.

My question is... how do I install it at this point? I don't have TWRP on my Mate 9, since it's so finicky to use. Yesterday, after I updated EMUI, I installed Magisk Manager, and had it sort of install/do its thing. I assume it downloaded its own Magisk, though which version, I have no idea. I used the custom channel found here.

However, now that I'm retracing my steps, I just noticed the verbiage in @Wirmpolter's guide, that says

So... no need to use the custom channel URL from Magisk Manager. Got it.

Any advice on how to proceed? Currently... I have Magisk and Magisk Manager installed. Magisk Manager is 7.0, but Magisk itself, I suspect, is not 18+.

If I had to lay it out, I might try:

Uninstall Magisk (uninstall.zip, or whatever it's called)

Reinstall Magisk Manager 7.0

Use @Wirmpolter's instructions, pulling, patching, and re-pushing boot image (again!) in fastboot.

Is there an easier way to do this? Just curious.

EDIT: Another quick question to the big bad XDA world out there: do I flash the Magisk uninstall zip in fastboot, as well?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] daina:
So I did it.

I uninstalled Magisk Manager 7.0, which didn't work with the version of Magisk I flashed yesterday.

Installed an older Manager just to bring up the interface.

From there, I uninstalled Magisk completely, using the Uninstall option from within the manager.

Then I followed [MENTION=937333]Wirmpolter[/MENTION] 's guide, only getting stuck when my computer refused to see my phone in fastboot. I finally managed it, though, and now I have Magisk 18.1, with the Magisk Manager 7.0 interface.

Google Pay is still failing, though, even though I pass Safety Net.

Anybody have any clues why?

Try using play services version 15.1.78 beta, others had this too but that version of play services fixed it (for some reason).
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] daina:
Thanks. No luck. Obtained 15.1.78 beta from apkmirror, and installed. Tried it on the Coke machine at work, same screen.

Someone on reddit ended up wiping cache and data on Google Play Store and Google Play Services, but then they ended up having to set up their cards again in GPay. Do you think this is the way to go?

Was trying to avoid having to set up cards again, since one of my cards involves having to call the bank to get it authorized...

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Haluter:
Hi Daina,

after a short-lived success I ended with the same problems the next day. Afterwards I tried all suggestions from various forums but nothing worked.

After a short period of frustration I decided for a radical solution and installed a new OS on my HTC U11. (Lineage unofficial)

And... surprise! GPay works without any flaws.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] crusher87:
my phone will not turn on and keeps giving me this screen for firmware update. I plugged it into my laptop to charge and keeps giving me this screen. a few months ago the power button stopped working, so I found an alternative method- holding the volume up button and quickly plugging in and removing the charge cable while holding down on the volume up. this worked for a few months until recently it started to get stuck on the firmware update screen. I wanted to stretch out the use of this phone as long as I could, it is an AT&T LG G5. Not sure what to do to fix it or how to make the update progress bar move from 0%. any help or advice would be incredible. sorry if this is the incorrect place.

thanks,

Hello All,

I know this handset hasn't hit as popular by any means but it is a decent handset for emergency services and industrial applications. I recently purchased an unlocked Sonim XP8 that was originally purchased on the ATT network. I am wondering if there is any way I can get the Sprint firmware for this device. I tried Sonim directly but of course they just want me to purchase a new one through them. I basically just want to be able to use visual VM and WiFi Calling if possible.

Am I hoping for the impossible here?

As EDL mode on the XP8 and XP5S is easily accessible, I attempted the Sahara method in an effort to pull a full stock backup that resulted in a com error immediately after presenting "Requested ID 13, file:...".

I was able to obtain a full AT&T OTA upgrade package for Android 8.0 - XP8_ATT_USER_N10.01.75-O10.49.00.zip. Very basic method used (noted in many other XDA threads) - logcat to get URL and curl to pass in specific user-agent headers. Feel free to send me a PM if you would like a download link. I may try to run an extraction tool later on payload.bin, and if I find time, I may even play around with Sahara a bit more as well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JOchu38:
So did you use the "prog_emmc_ufs_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf" from the AT&T OTA update in the command

"QSaharaServer.exe -p \\.\COM4 -s 13:prog_emmc_ufs_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf" ?

Could you send me the DL link you mentioned? My XP8 is on Telus but what I need from the AT&T update should work anyway? Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokeyou:
The backup/restore method on it's own will not work to apply an OTA update as most of the data is BDiff. Core files such as the system and boot image are full however this is not enough to EDL load in most cases. I believe a side load would work though if your starting version matches the OTA - in this case N10.01.75.

I'm struggling to figure this out. Maybe because I don't have basic lingo understanding. I have a Verizon and Sprint XP8's I want to backup. Really want to go no-carrier unlocked version to use dual-SIM! I have not even seen one of these manufacturer unlocked versions yet. Do they really exist? lol. My limiting factor is the CDMA support. My understanding is that AT LEAST the sprint phone would have the hardware, maybe the Verizon? But why would they make the hardware different per device?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Accessories] mantarkus:
As I mentioned in another post, I have found a perfect non magnet case for the S3. I have checked the front and back covers for magnets and I've found only one on the front but it doesn't seem to be very strong as it didn't attract a small pocket knife like the other cases I returned, yet still has a sleep/wake feature.

Spen function is NOT affected, I've done scribbles after scribbles and it all works well. Doesn't trigger the sleep function either when its opened all the way either.

It has a nice texture that feels like leather. The front and back facing the tablet are very well protected by a soft cloth with some type of foam underneath, corners might not be the best at protecting if dropped from a high level but it will cover from bumps.

There's a small loop pen holder but I prefer to use THIS one instead.

Might feel hard to install it the first time but at least it holds on very tight.

It is branded as MOKO but not sure if it's just a knock off although a very good one, arrived in less than two weeks from China. Highly recommend.

Took some pics a few days ago while having lunch. Hope this helps.
