[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] droident:
Yep, it's a MIUI11 issue and the reason I haven't shifted over to it. I suspect whatever release of magisk is in the pipeline will fix it provided it's been reported.

In the meanwhile I've read 19.4 works; you could try the canary builds if that seems to old for your liking... just be careful.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] winesh:
Had the same problem, its because of data encryption.

You guys need to format data before installing magisk.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] AvgZing:
Even with data formatting 20.1 causes issues: In fact, it seems latest Magisk build seems to be causing issues on all (or, many) builds of MIUI 11.

For k20 pro, 19.3/.4 seems smartest to install and then update via magisk manager

I believe other phones (mi 9?) need even older versions like 17.2, so I wouldn't be surprised if future updates continue to push the installation build back.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] droident:
I'm hoping the Magisk situation gets fixed. I checked the Magisk support thread and only saw one post about a bootloop with a Mi9T Pro (again, likely data encryption) so I'm given the impression MIUI might be off the radar for Magisk bug fixes.

I've had a couple of issues with Magisk 20.1 on MIUI10 - nothing critical but a couple times Magisk Manager has frozen (i.e. kill the process, relaunch and it works) and a couple hangs when root apps have been launched for the first time (again, kill + relaunch, a few times if necessary). Smooth sailing otherwise but gives me the impression that Magisk isn't without flaws on MIUI. One response was to dump MIUI altogether but I'd rather have a stable hardware experience for now. I tested a lot of custom ROMs on my last device and based on that, I'd like to stick to MIUI for a while.

Out of curiousity what are the other bugs with MIUI11 aside from it not working with encryption?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] AvgZing:
Other than standard app compatibility issues, I haven't heard of any major MIUI11 bugs, which is fantastic to hear.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Vanmanman:
I have tried all sorts. MI9T MIUI 11.0.1.0 and magisk just causes recovery bootloop :(. Gonna try magisk 19.4 if thats a thing mentioned in a previous reply
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] XedosMD:
I use Miui 11.0.3 together with Magisk. I used the following procedure:

1. Copy Magisk 20.1 (for twrp) to your internal storage (e.g. downloads)

2. Install Magisk via TWRP

3. Don't reboot (it will cause bootloop).

4. Do factory reset (it will remove your Data). Your bootloader will remain patched.

5. Reboot your phone, do initial config.

6. Install Magisk Manager and run it so you will see that Magisk is installed.

7. DON'T install additional files suggested by Magisk Manager (or you will end up in bootloop again)

8. Enjoy your rooted K20Pro!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] CanCake:
I got the same problem on my k20 pro (with MIUI EU).I try driffent ways provided by magisk official but no one works.I have to flash the system. It's not a good idea for intalling V4A on this phone
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] KaiStone:
Does your phone remain encrypted after you do these steps? I doubt...

For some reasons, I wanna keep my phone encrypted.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tekno4ever:
After downloading the Android 10 OTA via the Oxygen Updater App I performed a local upgrade upon which everything worked perfectly. Then after installing Magisk via TWRP and a second time via a patched Magisk based boot / recovery image via ADB my SIM card is not being recognized preventing me from making and receiving calls. After returning to stock OOS Android 10 everything works. Its just when I install Magisk that my SIM card is not recognized.

Anyone know why when I install Magisk my SIM card is not found?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rezapatel:
That's probably because of the Magisk Module to record OOS calls. Disable that module and restart, issue should fix. For call recording use joneplus tools from Play store.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tekno4ever:
Thank you very much [MENTION=684340]rezapatel[/MENTION] THAT WORKED! :)
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Sukhimehta:
How did u installed twrp and magisk without decrypting data plz tell
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] hey_malik:
That worked for me too. Although now I cannot access the SIM & network settings. The com.android.phone.PhoneApp crashis instantly. :(
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] The-Wiz:
Thank you! Also work for me

. SAME HERE
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] MotoRooter79:
Worked for me too, and I am able to access SIM settings.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] absinth4:
My man ! you saved the day,Thanks!!!! ! So i guess we have to live without this module? Is there a way to use it somehow without sim issues?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Horgar:
I have UB and rooted with magisk 20.1. I rooted the October build by patching the boot image using magisk. I try to flash the new November stock image and it fails. It says

Writing boot

Failed (failed to write to partition Not found)

I think it may be connected to booting into slot a or b. Maybe?

Can anybody help?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] ctfrommn:
You already took the November OTA or are you still on October?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Horgar:
I'm on October trying to flash November
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] ctfrommn:
Pretty sure you cant flash the boot image alone. I always flash the stock boot for the build Im currently on then take the OTA. I think there is a new bootloader for November. Not 100% on that though.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Horgar:
I'm just trying to flash the full factory November stock image. I downloaded it, unzip it, plug in the phone in fastboot and double click the run me bat file.

This has always been fine before but I am new to pixel 3a and have only done this once before, on October build. But I came from an original pixel so I've spent 2 years updating that in this way.

I can't work out why the flash is failing.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] ctfrommn:
Try flashing the stock October boot.img then try updating. Ive never been successful flashing an OTA or factory image over a patched boot.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Horgar:
I've tried flashing October factory image and get the exact same result. Not sure what else to try.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Horgar:
Sorry just reread your post. Will try and reflash boot IMG. I do that with fastboot flash boot.img?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] ctfrommn:
Yes.... fastboot flash boot boot.img
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Horgar:
Have tried reflashing boot.img and still won't update ota and same result trying to flash factory image. Any other ideas? And thanks very much for your help
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Horgar:
Do I need to flash boot.img to both slots a and b? If so how do I do that?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] ctfrommn:
I only ever flash the one in use.

Just fastboot flash boot boot.img is all you need.

Your can also always just clean flash the OTA. Just download it, factory reset, adb sideload the OTA in recovery.

I've done that a few times now.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Horgar:
Thanks. Will try things tomorrow. It's late here in London. But I can't get a twrp.img to work. It doesn't seem to mount the system and I can't flash anything. Have you got twrp to work? I'll come back to you in about 18hrs if that's ok?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] ctfrommn:
TWRP doesn't work with Q. Just use stock recovery to sideload.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Horgar:
Ok, will try when I get home from work. Does the OTA update contain a boot.img? Is that what I need to patch to root again?

Thanks very much
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] ctfrommn:
Yes, OTA and factory images are essentially the same thing just packaged differently.

And the easiest way to reroot is to just download and repatch the new stock image, or flash a custom pre patched kernel.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] sic0048:
The OTA zip is packaged differently and does not include a boot.img file that we can use. (I'm sure it must be in there somewhere, but not in a usable form). Therefore you must download the "Factory Image" from Google. Unzip it, open it where you will find another zip file inside. Open that second zip file and you will find the boot.img file there. Move that boot.img file to your phone so that Magisk can access it and to modify it.

https://developers.google.com/android/images
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] s.country:
FYI here are the steps I took to update my rooted 3a this morning:

1. in Magisk Manager select Uninstall and select restore images (I did this because I kept getting a 'installation error' on the OTA page)

2. Like an idiot I rebooted my phone, do not reboot! So I had to reinstall magisk

2a. copy the boot.img of Oct to my phone to have it patched by magisk

2b. fastboot flash boot boot_patched.img

3. the OTA downloaded while I was on the stock boot.img so I just followed the magisk instructions to install the OTA in the other partition

Next month I'll just jump from step 1 to 3 and carry on being rooted.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] ctfrommn:
The simplest way to update when youre rooted is to......

Reflash the stock boot from the current build youre on

Take the OTA directly on the phone

Download stock image from new build and move it to phone

Patch with Magisk and move to your PC

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Ive done this for the last 3 updates and it works perfectly every time......I obviously substitute my kernel for the patched boot but the process is the same. I find this far simpler than messing with Magisk
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Horgar:
Thanks for all the suggestions but I still cannot update.

I have tried restoring boot.img

data reset from recovery

relocking bl - ota fails

Unlocking bl again - won't flash using ADB

There is no problem with the phone being recognised on ADB, the flash Just fails as the screen shot in my opening post. I'm thinking it may be connected to needing to flash to the inactive slot.

Anyone got any ideas?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] kc6wke:
Make sure you have the latest platform tools adb fastboot, and try fastboot flash boot_a boot.img, fastboot flash boot_b boot.img (using the stock boot from your current version). Then flash Nov image again.

It seems that part of the image needs to be flashed in fastbootd, it should reboot that.

This is what fixed it for me having the same issue.

I've attached the ones I used

View attachment platform-tools_r29.0.5-windows.zip
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Horgar:
Many thanks. I thought it was to do with flashing to both slots. I will give it a try when I'm back from work
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Horgar:
I've now tried this and it still doesn't work. Still fails to flash,still can't update. still same fail

Any more ideas anyone?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] AndDiSa:
Are you sure you used the latest fastboot version? Probably the old version of fastboot command is still in your path. I ran into the same issue when I wanted to update with the latest stock package. After updating to the latest version it ran through without issues.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Horgar:
That did it! Fantastic. Thanks. I was beginning to despair. I used the latest fastboot, resest the path for fastboot in windows and it worked fine.

Thanks to everyone for all their help. Something i thought was complicated turned out to be quite simple. usually is.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] fish_pudding:
Can I know how to do this? how to reset the path for fastboot
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kolembo:
Yeah.

It really was a great phone.

How long now? 4 years? 5?

The screen is still fantastic. Big and wide and great definition and deep blacks.

The pen is not trying to do too many things.

The back cover comes off - and there's the battery.

Change the camera lens cover and the photographs are still excellent.

And the lovely metal work is elegant all the time.

It still manages all the games fine, boots fast, is quick with apps.

It's the best ok phone I've had - and I've had them all.

The note 10 is the first one that comes close. I like that they've kept it slim

But the Note 4 still rocks.

Ok. Bye!

Let me know what you think!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dr.m0x:
Why, of course, the battery is sealed now. Otherwise not much reason to upgrade year on year anymore. Phones are not leaps and bounds better from a few years ago. Only add gimmicks like in screen finger reader. Older flagship speed is enough if you don't play games. This world is sad.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] raul6:
Long may it last!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ghostwheel:
I haven't found an equivalent replacement yet. Sadly, iR control in restaurant/bar TVs seems to be declining...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] S3Killer:
I have the SM-N910C and I live in Brazil.

I bought it new in 2016 and until today never gave problem. The battery is still great. I almost bought Note 8 or 9 recently, as I needed more internal memory, but solved the problem by going back to Android 5.1.1 (WanamLite, which I've used once for a long time).

I was almost 9 Gb free. Now you will be much longer with me. The device is fantastic.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] chiliraupe:
N910F is still my daily driver! I have modded the cr*p out of it, feels so good, fast, smooth. Hope to be able to use it for 4 to 5 more years.

Bought a LG V20 for my girlfriend, 130 euro. Might also be an option for me, in case my Note 4 breaks down.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] smelllycat:
BACK BUTTON TO KILL app (only works once)

I fully agree with you aboyut Note4. I bought my wife one and she wanted a 10. I told her I could make the guts do the same thing (plus I can't see spending arms and legs for the most rapidly depreciating item). I've got 128 memory card, one of those massive multiple day batteries, round magnet charger mini USB that jumps on (no plugging), happy as a clam!

Does anyone on earth know of an apk that won't turn off after 1 use back button to kill app? That's my favorite function and I can't stand not being able to close them as I finish except those I return to. I have the apk but I have to keep going into settings, turning it back on for a one time use. Ive searched programming apps but there's none on earth I see that will do the job, and my OS doesn't allow it (I'm still trying to get a custom ROM but having no luck, bricked my other phone yesterday (I think bad CPU sector somewhere based on symptoms).
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Pokemetti2:
Hello, I'm currently on a OnePlus 5 but think that it's really overrated coming from my mod friendly S5 mini. I plan on maybe going back to an older phone, because I don't really need performance for anything except Dolphin and Citra Emulator (the MMJ variants of course) but I'd be willing to sacrifice it, since I've seen myself using it only rarely anyway, but I'm a little concerned about 1. The community, since it's an old phone, even though it's a really loved phone. 2. The stylus - does it work on custom ROMs? 3. The battery - I'd definitely buy a 3rd party battery, since the originals will have lost a LOT of capacity, but going from a 10nm SoC (SD 835) to a 20nm one (Exynos 5433) is a little concerning. (4. The kernel and modding sector - Are there good kernels from honest people, not guys like franciscofranco, and mods?) I'd really appreciate answers, maybe I could be helpful because I'm still very young but pretty experienced with modding, development and that stuff, even though I don't even own an x86 desktop and don't even speak english as a native language.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] GameShadow7:
The Note 4 ... a great phone, the best I've ever had! Using it for 4 years now. If it breaks I will upgrade to the Samsung Xcover 4s. It also has a removable battery and the phone looks very reliable. But unfortunately no customs ROMs avaible for it now..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mr. JAVI:
My depend on what version N4 you have?

---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

It may depend on what version of the Note 4 you have or if you know how to port roms. For instance, i have a n910p and locked to the fused5,binary4 aboot preventing downgreading the bootloader. So stuck on 6.0 MM, so thrat sucks but the n910f is very similar in compatibility so that opens up other options. Theres also a GRX touchwiz home mod V8 that is pretty cool.

Im running a combination of Dtux Rom with an N7 custum kernel by freeza r61 and GRX V8 along with. alll sorts of ports from different develops. Thats just part of what I have done with the old N4.

Still Have My Note 4 & Note 7

The Note 4 with Android 6 still serves very nicely as a work phone. At the office, it does everything I need very well. The Note 4 is a better phone than my mom's Galaxy J7 from 2018. But for fun and photography, my Note 7 rocks. Those two Note models remain my favorite. I gave my Note 8 to my wife.

Now am using s10 plus & note 4 ♡
[Galaxy Note 4 General] doubledragon5:
Note 4 is still my favorite of all phones I have had.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ghostwheel:
I am considering the Xiaomi Mi 9 lite.

It has quite a lot of features of the Note 4: iR port, SD card, oled, earphone plug.

No removable battery, no pen, no barometer. Oh, and doesn't cover so many bands. B12 seems missing.

Would also have some advantages over Note 4: faster, security updates, bigger screen, FM radio (ha), longer battery life, better bluetooth.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] The Weeping Angel:
I love my note 4. It covers so many functions such as tv remote, portable mp3 player, book reader and movie player. I also love the fact that I can swap out deodexed roms and custom roms at will to enhance the device's longetivity. I do believe that there is no other phone quite like it on the market so I guess thats why I bought a back up note 4 many years ago ??
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tripLr:
Yup we're still building

10 Android ROMs and counting.

Plus Ubuntu touch !
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mrturnuup:
I am wondering if my Note 4 is finally dead. I love the phone and was hoping to still be using it but a few hours ago the phone just froze so I just removed the battery. After that, I put the battery back in and it wouldn't power up. I left the battery out for a 20-30 mintues and then put it back it. It was able to power on but after the Tmobil splash screen it goes to the screen before going to the home screen and when I swipe nothing happens. I am afraid my Note has finally given up after years of service. Is everyone else's Note 4 still kicking?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Andrey12:
After several update over last year the phone started to be very slow. The final blow came beginning Dec 2019 when it did restart by itself and did install then 1 app. Usually will ask me for this. Since then the battery drains 10 times faster. So it is obvious that the update was meant to make me buy a new phone... But I like soo much the note 4.

First I did a factory resent. Did not help at all. Then I did flash it with Odin - now it works soooo fast, better than the new phones. But the battery drain continues. Fully charged in the evening I leave it in flight mode. In the morning the battery is only 50%. And this is with a new original Samsung battery I just bought. Will a re-flash with nand erase help? Does anyone have experience with this?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mrturnuup:
Is it hard for you to find or buy another Note 4 battery? I know it's old by today's standards but I would assume there might still be some new third-party batteries for it. I still have 2 new batteries from Anker when bought two extra for the device a year or two ago. Good luck on trying to find something.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] doubledragon5:
I was having issues with my battery.. Bought 2 more Samsung OEM batteries, and the problem was worse. The phone would either reboot, or shut down period.. Bought 2 (Brand New) ZeroLemon batteries and haven't had any issues yet.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Çingiz Salmanov:
Bought it on 2015. It was a great phone. It starts to show its degradation.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RARELYRIGHT:
I still use my n910t note 4

I'm using eq12 rooted, couldnt load ketan no matter what I did or any roms on epg2 or epg3. Frustrated. I even forgot how to convert to Odin flashable, I must have forgotten a step I dunno so mine is stock, 128 memory card big fat fat battery, no need to upgrade to a sealed phone. Stuck with 6.0.1 nothing seems to want to load anymore. I can't imafine having a phone that won't go 24hrs without charging now. I'd like to upgrade the camera but it works fine.

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------

I meant no custom roms want to flash anymore, the phone is great, still can't imagine any need for a downgrade to a sealed phone using prying eyes cloud memory rather than what I've got. If I break it, no prob, get another.
