[Walmart Onn Tablets General] DragonFire1024:
I have honestly not even tried looking for a custom rom yet so I wasn't even aware there were any. But that's good to know there are some. I'm pretty sure there's only a few reasons why this comes in handy for this device. Walmart wasn't all too greedy one they let us unlock it pretty straightforward as well and secondly if you look in the buildprop the device is listed as a generic build. So that kind of gives us double luck. But I will be honest this is the first device I have owned a long time that is straight up Android without all the Pumped Up personal themes and wannabet operating systems like the Amazon tablets. So even without a custom ROM I'm actually quite impressed.

Are there any source code vendor blobs or images like that that exists for this tablet? I've noticed since I've been playing around and I've flashed firmware more than a few times now that the serial number is 1 2 3 4 5 6 a b c d e f g. I don't know if that's like that for all the other tablets of the 7-inch variety or not.

Also I found this little piece of Handy tool that somebody made for mtk-su. If you're not comfortable with getting rid of your recovery you don't have to flash it just simply download the APK in the link below and download the latest magisk Manager APK. Install the mtk-su app first add scroll down the screen until you are able to see a button that says get bootless root or something to that effect. Press the button and if the script finishes with a result of 0 you have root access. Install the magisk Manager APK and open it up and tap on the three bars at the upper left and you should have Superuser access. You will also be able to install modules as well but you have to download the manually I believe I haven't tried it yet and Flash it through TWRP if you have it. Do not install the module through magisk manager at any time. https://github.com/JunioJsv/mediatek-easy-root/releases/tag/v1.0.4

That simply just allows you to install magisk manager as a simple root access manager.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] martyfender:
The guy that created that used mtk-su without [MENTION=8132642]diplomatic[/MENTION] permission, as it is not open source and asks for a donation on top of that too. He also links to an unofficial Magisk Manager site that [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION] states:
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] likehelly:
so i used fastboot to unlock everything, got TWRP flashes, and i can actually get into twrp.

unfortunately, that's all i can do. it just boots into twrp no matter what i do. and in twrp mode, it can't access any of the storages on the device. it doesn't mount anything, i can't actually do anything. the only other thing i can do is get back into fastboot.

uh, am i kinda ****ed?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] diplomatic:
Wow, you can launch Magisk with mtk-su? That's so innovative. And bootless root is a perfect name for that. I have to admit that's pretty brilliant. Props to that guy for creating a solution that did not exist before. I like how he includes the magiskinit binary outside of its official package so you don't have to go out and download the zip file and extract it yourself...
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] DragonFire1024:
It would be nice if we can implement a very similar feature like this for SuperSU. by the way I have never been asked for a donation and there are no ads. Everything looks pretty straightforward and simple and is in my opinion a very good solution for this tiny tablet (7in). I cannot speak as the weather he provided proper credit towards the work. I just happened to stumble across it while I was pondering something incredibly similar. I had only gotten the idea after I took mtk-su and put it into system bin just so I could be saved a whole lot of trouble. I just changed the name of the file to su and it worked just fine until I came across this little thing.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] diplomatic:
Yes, it is a good solution. But the bootless root script was already around well before his GUI wrapper appeared. I was just being sarcastic about all of that. Have you seen this: https://xdaforums.com/android/development/amazing-temp-root-mediatek-armv8-t3922213/post79626434?

You are on the right track about launching an su manager. Broadly speaking, you can probably make a script to start Magisk from /system. (But not sure why you want to deal with that ancient SuperSU that was never designed for Android 9.)
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] DragonFire1024:
Well I really don't have to do much explaining considering you know at least someone of my history with the Amazon tablets. I like to get old things to do New tricks. That's just my thing I like to do that I like to bring an old style back to a new thing call me crazy but for now I can deal with magisk if if it can be used in the system. but I like a route manager I can do what I need to do to the system and occasionally a couple of other things along the way and then forget about the actual manager that its installed without having to go through hoops and barrels just to get exposed to work which won't work because magisk is just a simple root manager right now therefore refuses to flash anything. the problem posed with the method above, as brilliant as it is, magisk won't read root access without the most recent zip installed and there is no way to do that on this device without flashing the recovery. The root solution above accomplishes that but does not achieve a permanent root on the device that continuously running the script which unfortunately does not work at boot. There are also other issues of some applications not reading root access and in some cases before the device reboots after deleting system applications and then occasionally I have to manually delete them and a root shall because using an app like Root explorer they come back to life when you reboot. But I think that has more to do with magisk fighting over the fact that it doesn't like version 18 being installed with the most recent APK. And again I really do think SuperSU can work with Android 9. I just think there's trouble reading where everything is. And hence can only operate with some of its files operational. I just find it odd that it will acknowledge the presence of other superuser binarys other than its own. Given the fact that happens in theory there should be no problem with updating said binary. Especially when it comes to using kingoroot or kingroot. And it's binary sukernel does have the ability to make a boot image much like magisk does. But the problem without the su binary working is you have to run those other binaries in a shell what the files in an area on the device where you can patch them using those binaries.

honestly a lot of this could be solved the made a lot easier if there was a custom recovery which I am willing to make if it's viable and possible and easier to do than to sit here and accomplish what some might consider be the impossible. But even having a root manager like this little app offers, you are still very much limited in what you can do with that manager for example I can't use flashfire to flash zip files. I also cannot use magisk to flash modules or zip files. i don't have anything againt magisk but I just prefer not to flash it somewhere where it really doesn't need to be. And in a case like this on a tablet like this SuperSU would be a much more viable solution.

can someone help me with gsi? trying to get it to boot but no success
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] jwarrior319:
Start with the post by tek3195 on the last page. I followed that and got as close as i have. The stock gsi from ci.android.com wouldnt completely boot. Just had adb access with onn logo still displayed. Any custom gsi i flash like aospex, havocos, etc dont install anything to /system-root/system so it isnt recognized by the bootloader.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] DragonFire1024:
Is there anyway to just remake a boot image? In the buildprop it asks if the system is root, does it have to actually be? I don't know enough about this version of Android so I apologize for the questions are stupid.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
Are you trying pie gsi's or android 10? Pie are the only ones I know of to be working.

If you look back a few posts or so there are some links and a general description of flashing gsi's.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Josephdbrewer25:
I was actually trying Lineage Android 10 gsi. Got to the boot animation then to a black screen. But I didn't disable the verify boot. I'm still new and experimenting ??

It's an unofficial Android 10 gsi from here => https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] mrmazak:
I had ohh aosp 10 running fine. Just needed to do a setprop burning the boot process, I made a post about it here.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
Cool, I haven't even tried a 10. After testing just about every available pie gsi I decided on one and kinda stopped. Where was post ? Which thread?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Josephdbrewer25:
Can you share the link to the post?? I'd like to try it out
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] mrmazak:
Yes, but this goes a little OT for this threads topic. As I did the install without this twrp.

[Walmart Onn Tablets General] jwarrior319:
Everytime i try installing a gsi it dosent install the main "system" i dont get a /system-root/system folder and therefore cant boot. Does anyone know a solution?

Edit: OMFG!!! So the treble checking app says its a only but its actually ab
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] diplomatic:
Have you been flashing with System mounted? Because if you're writing to the system image, then System must be unmounted. An image is an image. It can't write some directories but not others. It's all or nothing. What is ab? The firmware or gsi? The firmware is a-only.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
Can't remember why but the gsi's that we use for these are A-B. Started out a-only but somehow a-b now.

Correction: started out trying a-only, emphasis on trying.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] mrmazak:
As far as slot a/b goes, yes onn tablet is a-only. But as gsi has taken a/b to actually mean system-as-root rather than seamless update. So you really are supposed to use a/b gsi here.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] jwarrior319:
The gsi has to be the a/b version or you dont get the /system-root/system folder. Now im to the point where its installed properly but won't actually boot. Im using phh's aosp 9 v123 and aosp 10 v208. I flash vbmeta with --disable-verification and also tried adding --disable-verity.

Is there a modified boot image i need?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] jwarrior319:
Can i get a link to the img that worked for you? Itll verify its something with my device specifically or how im installing it.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
Here is Beast rom by [MENTION=5492451]NFound[/MENTION],

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397923600 That is link to the exact one I'm using. Here's link to phhusson'''s list https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list. Liquid remix worked quite well as did e few others. But if you're just wanting to verify the process use first link and that is one I have been on for a couple months.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] jwarrior319:
I got phh amdroid 9 ab latest to install and boot after flashing magisk.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
Did you figure out the issue you were having or just lucked up and it worked ?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] diplomatic:
Oh ok, gotcha. Yeah, according to Android docs, if it's SAR, it must support A/B updates, at least in theory.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] jwarrior319:
At boot logo i issued an adb buildprop command mentioned in one of these threads and it worked. The setting stays after reboot as well.

Thats what led me to trying stock phh android 9 A/B gsi. I was trying A only versions so i never got a /system-root/system folder installed. I might try some custom ones in the future but am fine on stock with magisk for now. There's actually a lot that can be customized on stock aosp. I was quite surprised when i figured that out. I always used custom roms on my other unlockable devices.

Is there a way to update from phh 9 to 10 without having to re setup everything?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
I don't believe there is anything like a version update available. Take full backup then without wiping /data flash vbmeta and system and should be good to go, I think. If not, well that would be the reason for that backup. You ain't really got nothing to lose except time to flash two .img's
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] jwarrior319:
So when i try flashing phh's android 10 gsi w/gapps it says img is larger that target device. Is it safe to resize the system partition? Has anyone successfully installed an Android 10 gsi w/gapps yet? If i can resize how would i go about doing that?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
What gapps package are you trying to use and have you tried it without gapps and with smallest gapps package. I would try without and add smallest package I could to see if it worked before resizing.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] jwarrior319:
Im using the phh 10 version that includes gapps.

https://github.com/phhusson/treble_...nload/v209/system-quack-arm64-ab-gapps.img.xz
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] jwarrior319:
Ok, so after trying a few things i got PHH's Android 10 v209 installed with gapps. The following post https://xdaforums.com/project-trebl...p-10-0-quack-phh-treble-t3992559/post81442107

(Screenshot bellow as well) helped get the system partition big enough for latest android 10 beta opengapps pico installed. I also have magisk running smooth. Hope this helps anyone else who want vanilla Android 10 on there cheap tablet. I have the 8" model (ona19tb002). I tried havoc os Android 10 but couldn't get it to give enough space for pico gapps.

ROM Install from twrp bootloop question

Been looking at my options for onn 8.

However, I should note...this is

a onn/100005207

9/ppr1.180610.011/1563498232

I downloaded Beast Romv1.3-arm64-ab-vanilla-20190322.rar

Because it was said to work on a previous post with a

ona19tb002 device.

Since the twrp works on both devices so I thought I would go for it.

Flashed ROM from the twrp recovery. No rooting...No Magisk

Twrp now shows up every time I request recovery. Before rom install, twrp was Intermittent.

However, the tablet now bootloops.

It shows the "Onn" startup screen

With "Orange State"

"Your device is.....untrusted"

I just wanted a ROM that installs from twrp. I'll work on another tablet with stock rom magisk modifications later.

I've tried removing battery, formatting data, factory reset...but nothing is helping.

My question...what would cause the "Onn" screen to

persist? If "beast ROM" Installed, shouldn't the "Onn" screen be overwritten?

(Added a pic I took of my twrp...does have some red text)

But I'm not allowed to attach photos yet

[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Vortell:
Something in gsi not losing right, and then no the firmware it's still onn, only system isn't. As soon as you unlock any Android i have used in a few years you get warning screen. You can overcome then but there but up delay stays. It's not really with the effort imo. There is instructions on it in another thread. Not sure if it's for your device but it can be adapted. Either way for gsi info i think this thread

https://xdaforums.com/walmart-onn-t...-to-unlock-root-xposed-onn-8-walmart-t3945284

had most info otherwise reflash with sptools.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
I use BEAST ROM on the 002 but should work on all 3 variants. I don't remember posting anything about flashing GSI's with TWRP. I have put links to source.android and others that had instructions for flashing with fastboot so you can use "fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img". TWRP doesn't have that option so I use fastboot to flash it rather than TWRP to install it. That may be the difference. Flash it back to stock and try again with fastboot.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
Yeah, there is a list of GSI's that worked for me and those that didn't in that first post about unlocking as well as links & instructions. Thought about making one for gsi's but didn't because of the two methods being used. I guess it would be each to their own as long as your chosen method works on your device. And then who's to say it won't vary between gsi's for same device. Some of the failures I had may boot if installed with TWRP, I don't want to go through all of them again to find out.

My reasoning for fastbooting all of it comes from a.o.s.p. right after instructions for building gsi from source code. I've just always looked at that sight like an Andoid Bible and tend to lean that way when conflicting methods pop up.

https://source.android.com/setup/build/gsi

The tablets went through a package and marketing change but are still the same only the model number and box changed.

You don't really need to pull any .img files as I believe they can be found here https://xdaforums.com/walmart-onn-t...eral/stock-stock-backups-images-otas-t3998227.

Running a gsi regardless of functionality is completely up to you. From what I see it's really only worth it if you want shiny_**** and willing to keep it polished. The stock firmware isn't completely terrible, easy to de-bloat and between Magisk and EdXposed modules combined with other root apps you can achieve nearly anything you want or could get from custom gsi's. So it's up to each individual as to there needs, wants and desires to determine if it's worth doing.

Oh and for flashing stock after failed twrp install, why not? if you're flashing anything to revert back to stock flash it all. The few minutes it takes is worth not having another headache when something is still off a bit and you have to do it again anyway. Kinda like what we had on the wall in 11-A Shop 32nd St Naval Station SanDiego "If you don't have time to do it right the first time, where in the hell are you going to find the time to redo it?" Just my opinion, I would flash it all and start fresh.

You have to install it in fastboot mode and not adb.

Hello enthusiasts! I have ONN 10'1 Surf with a keyboard, unlocked the bootloader and got TWRP, but now I'm kinda stuck as I read all the pages here, but couldn't find any straight forward instruction on how to flash Android 10. I tried to install AOSP 10.0 v219 (system-quack-arm64-ab-gapps.img) and lineage-17.1-20200511-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvN.img.xz, but got no luck to get past the welcome screen with AOSP (screen blinks and no response on start button) and LNOS constant logo with the latter. What is the exact procedure with TWRP? I did a factory reset, flashed system img, also tried to flash Universal DM-Verity, ForceEncrypt, Disk Quota Disabler after it. I tried to go fastboot way and procedure with the official Google instruction, but still stuck with a question what vbmeta.img to use? I used one from dl.twrp.me/gts4lvwifi/vbmeta.tar.html, but does it make sense?
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
I don't know what Android 10 images others have been able to use but gts4lvwifi is Samsung Tab S5e so you definately won't want to use that.You can use stock vbmeta and fastboot-disable-verifcation when flashing it.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] martyfender:
In twrp settings, you should be able to change the language to English.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] tek3195:
If talking about tabletUI look in Settings > Advanced > Language & Input. It is something like that, can't look, don't have Onn FW installed.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EliWolf:
Hi I got a Galaxy S3 from my friend and even though I probably won't use it as much, I decided to root it. Rooting it went well for the first 2 days. Then, I decided to get CyanogenMod 14 on it and that worked out. After I tried it out, I decided to restore the original os onto the phone using TWRP with my backup I made. Now the first problem was, it booted up and everything just crashed and it restarted itself and didn't boot up anymore afterwards. I'm like ok.... So I decided to put back on CyanogenMod with the backup I made. That ended up the same way..... So I just reinstalled cm all together and it booted up. then it crashed and did the same thing again. Currently restored the os and it's just stuck on the boot screen. I never had this problem with none of my other phones and this is the first I seen this happen to a phone. Anyone know what I should do or can do to fix it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Going from nougat back to KitKat, you have to format data. Not just wipe, format. Make sure your backups are on external SD card so you don't wipe them.

It's because of the way nougat encrypts data.
