[Moto Z3 Play Questions & Answers] lsvtec4dr:
Hi, I have the Sprint variant Z3 Play currently rooted on 8.1 with the last update from January and I received the notification that the 9.0 update is available to download and install. I've been reading on how I can install this update but from what I understand, I have to update/re-install magisk using the patched boot IMG from the stock 9.0 IMG. The OTA is labeled PCW29.85-36 however all the stock firmwares I've been able to locate are labeled PPW29.xx. Can I extract the boot IMG from this firmware to patch or does it have to be the exact PCW firmware. And is there an alternative such as unrooting the device, reflashing the latest Current Sprint 8.1 Oreo firmware, taking it back to stock while keeping the bootloader unlocked, and then taking the OTA and re-root? My only reason for the root was to run Viper4Android and would like to keep this setup. I've also read on methods using LMSA but instructions on a rooted device are a little vague to me. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

That sliver-thin middle piece within the charging port...

Just seems to be that with the supplied case and cable, if you don't insert the USB-C plug angled just right and you're not careful you'll hit that piece and possibly break it. If I'm not mistaken that piece is a vital component, right?

If it is the the Samsung phone is going to be short-lived. :(

This coupled by the fact that the phone's signal is poor is really pushing me to return the phone. Unfortunately, I purchased the phone from an Ebay seller who charges a 25% restocking fee. I will have to seriously consider the options here.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] James.Miller:
Most people don't have any issues with USB-c ports. I, on the other hand - and I really believe I'm very careful having never had issues before USB-c arrived on the scene - managed to break the port on a hi8 pro tablet, a Vernee Apollo phone and my old Samsung S8. So umm...yes, in my experience USB-c is fragile as ****. Lol.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] R0ttenB4ndit:
Do I need the DM Verity disabler file if I root my phone using magisk after installing twrp to both partitions? I installed magisk earlier a few days ago then rooted it right after and then installed the DM Verity disabler file using TWRP like the instructions said. That's when my phone wouldn't boot back up.. I restored the phone - finally, and want to try this again. Do I need that DM Verity file or does the root take its place?

Also, I'm not switching between roms or anything, just normal updates.. if that matters.

->OnePlus 6 Global

edit: I will be trying the TWRP backup/restore option later too
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] channeledbymodem:
The newest Magisk zip takes care of dm-verity and encryption. When I flashed the dm-verity zip as well I bootlooped. I don't understand the reasons for this technically but anecdotally I would just flash Magisk.

There is a reason it's to do with the way that linux and android reserve space for the os android is not made to have 1tb of storage. As a result it reserves too much storage for the system making it seem like there is lots of storage used even when the phone is factory fresh it's not an issue it's just the way the os deals with storage.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] seemebreakthis:
After several days of reading posts that 10.2.27.0 EEA was available, I finally tried to upgrade just now.

Checked on the phone. No update available.

Went to official ROM depository en.miui.com. The latest they have is still 10.2.26 EEA.

Ended up doing the download at miblog.co. But when I installed it failed at validation saying this is beta and I need a beta authorized Xiaomi account to be able to install it.

... So did they rollback the ROM distribution?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] hnz101:
My guess is that with the major problems during the latest Mi 9 SE update they stopped all roll outs until they have figured out the problem. Also for other Mi9 devices.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] MynnyD:
I have exactly opposite experience to the Dada124's. 10.2.26.0 was very gentle to the battery, while 10.2.27.0 drains it like crazy. Yesterday it went down from 68 % to 18 % in 3 hours - 1hour watching video, 1hour surfing web and 1hour listening to an audiobook. No wonder they pulled it. Hope they fix it with next update, because this is beyond ridiculous.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] gerhard_wa:
I have only good things to say about the .27 update. Slightly better battery life, pocket mode (yay!), better volume handling with different Bluetooth devices (no too lows or too highs) more devices turning up as aptX or better codecs instead of the basic SBC.

Cover the upper part of the screen with one hand and tap the fingerprint scanner fast for some time. Does this make the lock screen show then pocket mode doesn't work for you. It's on by default. It works well for me.

Hello guys, can I root my H931 with just simple way without unlocking bootloader?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Simple answer:

No.

More detailed answer:

No, if you're referring to 1-click root methods or similar, those have not worked on major OEM premium flagship phones for the past 5 or 6 years due to increased security by OEMs.

Last one I remember was the 2012 LG G2 , maybe 2013 LG G3?

In particular, do NOT believe any of the websites that urge you to download and install ad malware/crypto currency generator malware pretending it will root your phone. It won't -- but it will mess up your phone. Oh, they don't call it that, of course. ;)

All V30 variants in the world can be rooted, but you have to unlock the bootloader to do so. For your AT&T H931, you simply need to follow the WTF instructions.

For everyone else see post #1 of this sticky for an overview to rooting ANY of the V30:

TWRP DIRTY PORT FOR G7 PLAY​

My friend was looking to get a G7 Play, so I wanted to whip something up for him really quick. I managed to make a dirty port of TWRP for the G7 Play, taken from the G7 TWRP image since they're the same SDM632 chipset. Until you guys get a real, proper build of TWRP done with the proper source code, consider this a stop gap to at least be able to flash things! It's not perfect obviously but hopefully it's good enough for now!

AS ALWAYS, I DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY IF FLASHING THIS BRICKS YOUR PHONE. WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO TO YOUR PHONE IS ON YOU!!!​

WHAT WORKS:

It boots! As you can see here, the G7 Play is in fact running this recovery image just fine

Not sure, don't have the phone to test for myself

WHAT DOESNT WORK:

Because this is a dirty port, the recovery will think this is a G7, when as we all know this is in fact a G7 Play. There is nothing I can really do about this, this is the nature of dirty ports

Not sure, don't have the phone to test for myself

DOWNLOAD:

DOWNLOAD LINK HERE

I cannot provide any source code since this was a dirty port, so no actual source was used. The only things I used to make this were a G7 TWRP image, a G7 Play boot image, and carliv's image kitchen

HOW TO USE:

Reboot to fastboot

Flash the dtbo with fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img

After that boot from the recovery with fastboot boot recoveryname.img

THANKS TO:

[MENTION=4480917]Alberto97[/MENTION] for the G7 TWRP image I dirty ported from

The G7 Play Telegram group for testing out the image I made, since I don't have a G7 Play to test this on myself. Specifically [MENTION=9688485]noslen7[/MENTION] for testing the image and figuring out how to get it to run (need to flash the dtbo first) and for sending me the image I used above to show it's working and bootable

Carliv for that Carliv Image Kitchen he made, that tool rocks!
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] scritch007:
I can't test it anymore but if it's uses the same things as the one I built which was inspired by Alberto, do not try to install the TWRP unless you have already flashed the second bank.

fastboot boot recovery.img indeed won't harm so you can try that.

Any idea what works more then the one I built?

[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ninjakira:
Yo I'm coming from the g6 play forum with a quick question. Does this by chance work with the same current root method for the g6 play which is booting in twrp and formatting data to decrypt it then flashing twrp and flashing through twrp the encryption disabler zip then flashing magisk. If someone is able to confirm that I can possibly try to make a decent guide for you guys. We don't have a offical twrp that decrypts on its own and the twrp we have ain't a dirty port so I know there may be some differences when it comes to twrp related issues but it's better than nothing lol
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
There is one significant difference (as it regards rooting) between the Moto G6 Play and the Moto G7 Play. The G7 Play uses the A/B partition index while the G6 Play uses a standard GPT index. The current dilemma with root for the G7 Play involves the A/B partition config. Developer topjohnwu has been notified of this issue on the Magisk support thread, and has stated that he is working on a resolution at present.
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Spaceminer:
There has to be more to it than this. There are plenty of devices using A/B partitioning that can be rooted with Magisk. As far as I know, Magisk has supported A/B since version 17.1. Reading through the threads it sounds like more a TWRP problem than a Magisk one.

Has anyone tried patching boot_a and boot_b with Magisk and flashing both at once?
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Fdraco10:
You try and let's us know
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Spaceminer:
I don't have the device otherwise I would. That's why I'm asking if anyone has tried it yet.
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Yes. I patched both boot_a and boot_b with Magisk v19.3. My device booted into the OS with no problems at all, yet Magisk Manager indicates that root is not installed. Topjohnwu has been notified of the root issue with the Moto G7 Play, and has stated on the Magisk support thread that he is looking into a resolution. It's not a TWRP issue at this point because there is no unofficial or official TWRP for the G7 Play as of yet. Like you, I fully agree this is a bizarre issue. Root strategies which are working on the Moto G7, G7 Power & G7 Plus are not working on the G7 Play. Although Magisk has certainly supported A/B devices for some time now, no universal root method is completely infallible. There are many devices -- both A/B and standard GPT -- that encounter problems with Magisk from time to time. Luckily for the Android community, topjohnwu works hard on resolving any known issues like the one at hand.
[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Spaceminer:
I read the responses in his thread about that, and it seems like you guys aren't getting root without a working TWRP. The problem that was laid out, is that fastboot can't patch existing files, it can only overwrite them. Without a custom bootloader, Magisk would never be able to patch existing files through fastboot.

Personally, I think that's a very sh*tty position to be in, and I want to help you guys out. If you or anyone else wants to upload your most recent boot.img, it'll save me some time. I'm not too familiar with the A/B partition setup, but I am very familiar with TWRP. I think that I can get it working for you folks. I will make this happen or break my brain trying. No phone with an unlockable bootloader should go unrooted! Thank you for answering my question by the way. That's one less thing to troubleshoot.

I just want to confirm a few things before I get to work.

Is your base model number xt1952?

Is your code name Channel?

Where is the current TWRP hacked from? (Moto G7, G7 Power, G7 Plus?) - Moto G7. I found it in the OP.

[Moto G7 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
It is completely normal behavior for a patched boot image to output smaller in file size than the original image. This is typically because a boot image (or any partition image in general) is literally an image of the entire partition, including unused space on the partition. For example, let's say a boot.img actually occupies 23 MB of the /boot partition, which itself has been allocated as 32 MB in size. If you dump your boot partition, the image you get will typically be 32 MB (the 23 MB boot image itself + the unused space of 9 MB). Also, most images found in an official firmware package are the actual size of the allocated partition. When Magisk Manager patches a 32 MB boot image, for instance, the output is generally the true size of the .img file, without the unused space of the partition itself, thus resulting in a smaller output file in contrast to the original.

Patched Image Boot but don't Root

Thanks, I thought it was a bug in the patching process.

By the way, after flash the _boot_ image patched, I got N/A instead "Bad Key" and boot continues normally. However, when I check if magisk is installed, the Magisk Manager say that not installed and still without root :(

Do you have any suggestion that I can try? :/

Thank You!!
