[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] shijopj2012:
Dear oneplus users,

In my oneplus 6 phone, there is some problem with wifi connection. Let me explain it

It connects to all wifi networks with password except to those wifi network with username and password. ( after showing connecting -- authentication problem )

Most of the wifi network we need to enter the security password only, but in my company wifi I need to enter the username and password. But it will cot connect to network. The other two friends having oneplus 6 is having no issues with same company network. My phone also was connecting in the beginning --- I think when it was on oreo.

Kindly someone advise to rectify this issue.

NB : I did reset phone, Network reset done but still this issue persists.

Hi!

I was used to using the swift black theme using substratum on my earlier smartphone. But in POCO miui 10 thats not the case. I guess substratum was able to run on MIUI 9. MIUI themes are unable to theme user apps. MIUI on poco is too good to switch to other ROM for me. Is there any possible workaround (magisk, xposed anything)to run substratum properly on MIUI10, eu?

Thanks.

There's a downloads app (system app) yet it doesn't seem to show up as an icon, with the Google Nexus and Huawei Mate 20 Pro, I could access this app and see files that have been downloaded.

In the download folder it's empty. Yet if I go to attach a file in gmail there are files in the download folder.

Both Google Photos and Gallery don't show the images stored in this folder either. There's also no files in Google chrome downloads.

So how do you clean out what's in there if you can't access it.

Magisk v20 worked stable on Galaxy A50 but If you want to use Magisk v19.3 you can patch and downgrade it using Magisk Manager - Custom Channel Update https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcF0pfdQyW8

-----------------------------------------------------------

Complete Guide for Rooting Samsung Galaxy A50 using Magisk v20 / v19.3 ( tested on SM-A505F ):

* Download the firmware Galaxy A50 (SM-A505F).

* Unzip the firmware and copy the AP tar file to your device. It is normally named as AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5. Copy AP tar file and MagiskManager apk to your phone.

* Install Magisk Manager on your phone.

* In Magisk Manager: Install → Install → Select and Patch a File

* Select the AP tar file. Magisk Manager will patch the whole firmware file and store the output to [Internal Storage]/Download/magisk_patched.tar. Copy magisk_patched.tar the tar file to your PC

* Enter Download Mode : Turn Power Off. Press and hold Volume Up key + Power Key,* When Samsung Logo appears release Power Key only, keep pressing Volume Up key until Android Recovery Mode Appears.

* Select Wipe data / Factory reset, Select Reboot to bootloader.* Connect your Samsung Galaxy to PC using USB Cable.

*Flash magisk_patched.tar as AP in ODIN, together with the BL, CP and HOME_CSC files. Never flash only an AP file, as Odin can shrink your /data file-system if you do. Checked "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" only in options.

* Magisk is now successfully flashed to your device and Rebooting!

* After the device is booted up, do the usual initial setup. It need more time and patient.

* Connect the phone to Internet copy Magisk Manager apk to your phone and Install it

* Open Magisk Manager. It will ask to do additional setups. Let it do its job and the app will automatically reboot your device.

* Done! You can use Root Checker to check it, Enjoy!

Oh I wish I could get magisk on my phone. Unfortunatly I can't find the firmware, for my phone, anywhere on the internet (A505W). Will do directly once I can!
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] jarno389:
I had it finally rooted like this since yesterday thanks to this process. Got it in root mode running today all day. THE PROBLEM IS: It doesnt stay on anymore after i reboot once again. It starts, I can put in the pincode of sim, but after 10 seconds it reboots. Without sim also reboots after 10 secs. This goes on and on and on. I read on web delete cache can help. I can sometimes boot normally once thanks to that. Root mode is hopeless, then it always reboots. I used the right stock rom. Didnt make changes of system apps etc. I havent tried factory reset yet, but i'm tired of reinstalling all apps and settings again and i asume it just will happen again. Who knows what is causing this?

Edit: It kept rebooting in any way. Used the factory reset at the end. Booted it up once without root. Set up Wifi and google account. Tried to reboot in root mode and voila: stuck in bootscreen with red letterd 'custom binnary not allowed'. Can't startup, can't go to recovery, can't flash the magisk patched zip (same red letters). Flashed stock rom and wait for the possibility to flash magisk patched again.

Edit 2: Booting in the stock rom probably registers something to let u flash something else again. Magisk patched flashed again. Booted normally, magisk up to date and working. Just gonna install fake gps, smali and magisk hide app again. Not in the mood to test reboot then again. It probably fails again. But i can spoof again for now.

Edit 3: After trying some more things, I think the conclusion is: U can only use Root mode once with this, until it reboots.

I wonder if I'm the only one with this.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ertogrul:

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] jarno389:
Now I'm just wondering why the heck my root is still active with 2 random reboots. Last 20 runs the random reboots made it lose root and got stuck with constant rebooting.

When i started the recovery of samsung backup, it rebooted again (3rd time) (again root is somehow still active). Screw it, gonna forget about the backup and keep it like this. I think the random rebooting seems to happen often when installing much apps.

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] (w):
I cannot pass through the flashing of image modified by Magisk. During the flash some red text appears on top saying that custom binary (VBMETA) blocked ... then there is a front camera, so I can not read it all and then "Lock" word. The flashing stops and odin waits forever. The only thing I can do is to interrupt and then reflash the whole firmware with odin since it ends up at the "error has occured while updating the device software".

My device is SM-A505FN, firmware XEZ-A505FNXXU1ASE3, OEM unlocked, tried Magisk Manager 7.3.2.

So what would happen if, by a mistake of mine, my battery dies. Do I have to reflash magisk again and factory wipe everytime? Or is the problem occur only with the "reboot" function of android since it work while fully powering it off.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] jarno389:
Mine is still rooted since friday. It sometimes reboots randomly. Then i have to reset with volume down and power button or else is keeps restarting. Root is still active then. Battery also died yesterday. Could start up with power key only and root is still active. I still don't understand why but im good.

(I used the root mode function with volume up and power key till logo popsup only once after the flashing of magisk patcher to let it install magisk manager. )

I'm still wondering if I'm the only one with random reboots or constant reboots
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] iiAustinL:
Worked great for my SM-A505G.

In summary, after installing Magisk:

(Powering up normally) → (System with NO Magisk)

(Volume UP + Power) → (Splash screen) → (Release all buttons) → (System with Magisk)

(Volume UP + Power) → (Splash screen) → (Keep pressing volume up) → (Actual recovery)
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] DonCoyo:
Hi there,

Yesterday I rooted my A505W (Canadian Variant) and got random reboots like almost every one else. It got so bad, I decided to go back to un rooted stock. Before flashing stock firmware I took a look in build.prop file, hoping I might find something that does not belong there after rooting. And I think I found it. At the very end there is line like this:

ro.expect.recovery_id=0xf1dee4214a6ffec6b8

2cec9a13222d4f34c7fd10000000000000000

000000000

Comment it out to lool like this:

#ro.expect.recovery_id=0xf1dee4214a6ffec6b8

#2cec9a13222d4f34c7fd10000000000000000

#000000000

Wanted to delete it, but it was enough to comment it out whit #

Since last night I don’t have any reboots, it looks like commenting it out did the trick. So try it for yourself an see if it helps.

One more thing, if you need to reboot your device do not do it from Magisk, because it will keep rebooting, just power down and boot with the key combination. As I said since last night I have no random reboots.

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] ahmed.tohamyy:
No Worries, at the worst case, you can flash the stock ROM easily. The point is that Root with this method seems outdated and rooting with TWRP seems to be more functioning at the moment. However, It's not fully stable as you can lose the root with simple reboot!

2. unlocked OEM

3. re-flashed android 11 (stock) using ODIN

4. un-rooted using this guide (successfully)

5. User data partition is now 3.7GB !

Hi, I just did this trick but still got random reboots. I noticed also that the reboot triggers when I wake the phone from sleep, or when I press the power button to sleep, it reboots.. but not always though..

Any advise? or what did i do wrong?

-I powered off the device and keu combination = still reboots sometimes

-reboot from magisk = still reboots sometimes
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] DonCoyo:
There's not much of advise I can give you, if you disabled some system apps, bloat, enable them back and freeze one or two at the time and see if it reboots, some xposed modules specially older ones will cause reboot, uninstall it, for example I installed gravity box (P) my phone started rebooting, had to uninstall it and it is OK now. This is trial and error process.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] coldfear00:
Use "buildprop editor" from play store, open it & select the pen icon on the top right, at the end of the page u will see the line "ro.expect.recovery_id=" put # before that like this "#ro.expect.recovery_id="

I tried to disable Magisk Hide and restarted from Magisk. Got no random reboots since yesterday. To those who are experiencing random reboots, you may also try this and observe for yourself. TIA.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] jarno389:
My magisk hide is always on and im still running the same rooted ROM like 10 days now. No random reboots anymore. Last random reboots i had was the moments when i touched the icons of calcy iv and pokegenie, which both uses screen overlay. I don't think it matters which way you restart your phone. I just took it easy this time with installing much apps and settings too quickly.

Also didn't change the build.prop editor yet, cuz i readed a post that someone still had reboots.

Battery dead results mostly in constant reboots. The last time it did I deleted cache in recovery. Use volume up and power till logo popsup to boot in root mode. (I think Root stays enabled then untill u do cache delete or factory reset. It restarted once, the 2nd time it stayed on with root enabled.

Still wondering if theres a way to let it boot easely without constant reboots and without the need of cache or factory reset after the battery dies and stuff. I haven't used factory reset since 10 days so i can just use my phone for work and everything.

I think screenoverlayed apps can be trouble.

Another funny thing, I always have the yellow filter light enabled. When the phone starts up, it reboots exactly on the moment that setting (or could be THE settings) is/are loaded. If it doesnt reboot you can see your screen turn yellow filter. For me it's a glorious feeling when it turns yellow cause then u know your phone is not gonna reboot.

Hello guys

I try this method but stock on odin Recovery when tryin to flash with magisk_patched.tar and shown a red message in the top of the screen :

custom binary(vbmeta) blocked by ... lock

my bootloader was unlock i mean that toggle in developer option is active and on but still stock in that step

plz help

where is the issue?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkcannibal:
Simple, you need unloock correctly your bootloader.

step 1 - back to stock

step 2 - watch this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1xZ-E3jhUg to UNLOCK (in the video show how to lock)

step 3 - Root again.

Ive been on same rom since 2 or 3 weeks ago with root. Couldnt turn it on always smoothly. Now i cant turn it on anymore with root mode after battery dead. Nonroot mode works. I gotta say i havent used samsung backup this whole time until 2 days ago. I restored the settings backup with samsung backup.

I think the only way for me again is factory reset. (sucks)

Runned in root mode 2 or 3 weeks without installing much apps and settings. It could be that restoring the settings part of the samsung backup, makes it hard to run in root mode.

Where's written "Power + Bixby + Volume Up" you can just use "Power + Volume Up" for the A50.

Good luck!
