You can use PrivateDNS which is an Android 9 feature to get rid of Advertisements system-wide.

Go to Settings -> Connections -> More Connection Settings -> Private DNS -> Enable " Private DNS provider hostname " -> Type " dns.adguard.com " without quotes

This should solve your problem of ads popping.

Do tell us if this solves your problem.

TL;DR

About two years back I upgraded from Marshmallow to Nougat then downgraded back to Marshmallow but didn't flash GPT or bootloader partitions (full details at the bottom)

I want to upgrade to the latest official stock firmware which I believe is this: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-moto-g4-g4-oreo-soak-test-update-t3871136

But I don't know where to begin.

If I backup my phone with TWRP can I restore back to it (Marhsmallow) if I decide I don't like Oreo?

Appreciate any help :)

History:

A while back I upgraded from Marshmallow to Nougat using this guide: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138

I then Flashed the June (2017) OTA update files

Xposed framework wasn't available for Nougat at the time so I downgraded back to Marshmallow; I believe I used the file XT1642_ATHENE_6.0.1_MPJ24.139-48_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

I THINK I followed this downgrade guide: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/how-to-downgrade-nougat-to-marshmallow-t3487201

But I vaguely remember not flashing the GPT and bootloader partitions (based on the advice of the wonderful echo92 here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73031946&postcount=8) but I can't say for sure

I have a few backups from TWRP (https://imgur.com/a/QzgQNbh) from that time with this file structure: https://i.imgur.com/B2cxQvL.png

I blurred out the 10-character 0KB file - it seems unique but I can't remember what it's for
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
If you're wanting to downgrade back to Marshmallow at some point in the future, I would recommend you flash the TWRP flashable of OPJ28.111-22 https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/development/rom-oreo-8-1-0-soak-test-t3873367 This TWRP flashable should update your device mostly to Oreo, but not update your GPT/bootloader partitions (your GPT/bootloader would stay on the same version as you are now). Also, you should be able to roll back using your TWRP backup (though I do not know if you'll have issues with the Oreo modem on your Marshmallow device, so you might want to find the modem/fsg files too for Marshmallow)

We found out subsequently that downgrading firmware does not downgrade your GPT/bootloader (fastboot will complain of security downgrade errors otherwise). This poses a big problem when downgrading and using old OTA updates - old OTA updates corrupt your newer bootloader and hard brick your device. By not updating your GPT/bootloader further, you reduce the number of updates that can damage your device, but again, if you roll back to Marshmallow from your TWRP back up, make sure you do not use OTA updates at all.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] tekwarfare:
Not entirely sure what this means or how I do that.

I have XT1642_ATHENE_6.0.1_MPJ24.139-48_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip which contains NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn which I believe are the modem/baseband firmware. I don't really know what to do with them though.

Since I can flash the firmware (zip) directly on the device (and the lack of a recovery.img in the zip) I assume that TWRP stays intact and remains the default recovery?

So, as I understand it, my steps are simply:

Flash TWRP-athene-8.1.0-OPJ28.111-22.zip in TWRP

Flash Magisk stable in TWRP

The first part lost me a bit. Are you just saying, "Do not use OTA updates."?

Oh, and thank you very much for the help :)
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
1) Pretty much - keep the non-HLOS.bin, and FSG images from your fastboot zip handy. The TWRP flashable of the Oreo firmware contains the modem updates, whilst your TWRP backup likely does not have the modem partition. Thus, if you do downgrade and you get signal issues (don't know of anyone who downgraded from Oreo to Marshmallow, you'd be one of the first) you might have to flash the non-HLOS.bin and FSG via fastboot to downgrade your modem back to Marshmallow. The fastboot commands would be:

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

Failing that, you could flash this 64 bit TWRP and back up your EFS from both your Marshmallow and Oreo firmwares: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/development/recovery-team-win-recovery-project-t3842903 Then if you do have signal issues, you could try to restore your EFS. Or check out this guide if you have IMEI issues: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-moto-g4-plus-imei0-issue-t3859068

2)With the TWRP flashable - yes, your TWRP should stay intact and those steps sound good. Backup your existing installation beforehand.

3)If you downgrade your device stock Motorola firmware, do not use OTA updates. Else, you may hard brick your device.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] tekwarfare:
I've got TWRP 3.1.1-0, that looks like it has new features including the ability to do EFS backups now so I'm fine to overwrite my existing Recovery with the one you linked?

I see there's apps that can do EFS backups too. Why TWRP over them?

Thank you very much for your help with this
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Should be okay to overwrite your existing TWRP with the 64 bit version - you can either install in TWRP or flash TWRP via fastboot.

Alternatively, if you want to keep TWRP 3.1.1, then you can boot the 64 bit TWRP from fastboot (using the fastboot command 'fastboot boot <name of TWRP>', without quotes and where <name of TWRP> is the full file name of the 64 bit TWRP, without the arrows), then back up your EFS with the 64 bit TWRP. When you next reboot, you should still have your TWRP 3.1.1.

Not used those apps, so I can't comment, be up to you which approach to use. I've seen members use this TWRP for EFS backup without issue.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] tekwarfare:
Do I need to wipe before flashing this?

Notes for myself in the future:

Updated my phones recovery partition to TWRP 3.2.3-0:

Installed MotorolaDeviceManager_2.5.4.exe

Copied recovery.img to the same directory as fastboot.exe and ran the line:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I did a factory reset in TWRP

Downloaded and copied the zip across a few times but I'm just getting "zip signature verification failed".
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Hmm, which TWRP zip did you download? You could always go into TWRP settings and turn off signature verification.

Not sure if you needed to do a factory reset, though always useful when updating (hope you had a backup).
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] tekwarfare:
TWRP-athene-8.1.0-OPJ28.111-22.zip like you said. It's the one where AFH is crossed out but GDrive is up

Edit: I disabled zip signature verification (even though I didn't want to) and installed it. Setting things up so will see what works and what doesn't.

Thank you very much for the help :)
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
That's the right zip - I'd double check the download went okay, though under TWRP settings there should be an option to turn off zip verification. After that, the zip should flash okay.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] tekwarfare:
Installing magisk via TWRP aslo failed the zip signature verification (just disabled the verification to install things from now on)

Managed to get a few things up and running like ViperFX.

Xposed is constantly causing bootloops (soft brick) and I can't seem to fix it. I managed to get EdXposed working with Sand Hook but it slows the system down noticeably; all I want is gravitybox. :(

I forgot to ask something else but I'm doing it now: is the oneplus dongle(the one that's sold separately on their website) passive or active? Passive is when it lets the phone use its own DAC rather than use the one that might be inside the dongle.

I know there's the fingerprint sensor issue but does hospot is working on that ROM because sometimes it is not precised on S8's released custom ROM ?

This means when I installed the Lineage ROM (an older version) the fingerprint did not work as mentionned but hospot either while this wasn't said on the main topic...

So I would like to know if anyone have tested the new version of Lineage OS (released on April) and if hospot/other bugs have been discovered ?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devashishtiwari:
Hello experts.

I am a software engineer and currently working on an evaluation module from TI (Texas Instruments). I have a AM5728 Evaluation Module with me and I have successfully compiled Android SDK 5.03 (8.1 Oreo) on it. After compilation, I found that camera app is not working (black screen for a first run and getting crashed on subsequent runs). It seems to me that board is not able to detect the camera device/module even though it is attached to the board. I probably think it is related to camera HAL issue.

However, the USB camera works completely fine when attached to the EVM and is verified using simple usb cam application. The system camera is not being detected at all.

Therefore, I would like to customize Android at a source level and add code to automatically switch the default camera to the one connected by USB when it is available. Or if switching dynamically is not possible then disable the primary (built-in) camera and make USB (external) camera as the default one.

This way all applications should detect the external (USB) camera as the primary camera. For example, if I open camera application then the device take the picture from the one which is connected via USB.

I have the Android SDK source code available with me, but I am not sure how to proceed.

Really appreciate your help.

Thanks!

In order to root your rom you need to unlock the bootloader as far as I know, so yes, you'll be downgraded to L3. In my case, flashing again the MIUI after unlocking the bootloader fixed it.

The mere presence of root should not affect L1 ;)

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the DRM Info app, but where exactly does it show your bootloader being unlocked?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] pengull:
"Unknown Phh Treble Vanilla" which means that I had flashed (and I am currently running) a GSI rom: I obviously had to unlock my bootloader in order to do that.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohamed643:
Hello everyone,

in advance excuse me for my pretty bad english, i come from France and I hope that here i can find easly some help.

So my problem is the following : i wanted to flash my galaxy note II (GT-N7105) to Lineage OS 14. It was OK but 3 days later the phone required a "SIM network unlock PIN". Of course i have not this code. In several posts i saw that the solution could be to flash back to rom stock to unlock the phone. But i absolutely can't flash back the phone because all the zip files (i use TWRP) are bad. When i launch the install, i have a message which say : " zip file is corrupt!" and "Invalid zip file format". So i tried a lot of several zip files ( about 15) but there is nothing to do, it does not work.

Does anyone know why ?

Greetings dear people of this forum!

Few days ago my phone's display started behaving in a very weird way (could be a minor drop down).

When I press the power button to draw the pattern, the whole screen is full of disturbed horizontal lines (pic_1).

If I apply some pressure on the screen's bottom right corner (pic_1 - red dot) it gets back to normal and doesn't even flickering at all (pic_2).

Howerver as soon as the display goes off because of the turn off time, too close to the face when making a call or just switch it off with the power botton, the problem reaccures.

I am very sure it is hardware related, because on the screenshots there is nothing like that and it is persist in the boot sequence. In my opinion this is some kind of faulty connection, I have already take the phone apart to catch any loose connector, but nothing changed after that.

I feel like I have to buy a new screen, but I hope I can repair it somehow, because it can works very well after my acupuncture therapy.

I have bought the phone second-hand, and I know there was a screen replacement, so its not the original one.
