Is losing WiFi one of the bugs on Q? I had WiFi, but it won't stay on after I used this to root.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] greentag:
Doesn't work. Made image with latest Magisk Manager. I suspect it might be existing Magisk modules that make my phone boot loop, but without root and TWRP I can't get rid of them without a factory reset, which is what is recommended in the first place when using this method on A10. So this does not work.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] e5p10nage:
I have heard of that being a bug with Q. Just look it up on google. Lots of pixel owners havin that same issue. I didnt have this problem, so I am not sure what caused it or how to fix it. You FOR SURE used the boot.img from the ota you currently have installed? Anyway, I think I saw someone say something about the throttling in the developer settings.. IDK if that really has anything to do with it though.. Im sorry that happened though.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] e5p10nage:
If you dont have root how or why do you have modules? This wasnt meant for upgrading.. This is meant for AFTER you have upgraded. Im not sure I understand what you are saying. Oh, and make sure to use the same ota you upgraded with btw.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] greentag:
I upgraded from 9.17 to 10. I lost root and ability to flash Magisk, as I am not willing to factory reset, currently. When I was on 9, I had TWRP and root along with Magisk Modules. Just because you flash a stock boot image, doesn't mean that the folder Magisk modules are stored in doesn't exist. So when I upgraded, I had all those modules still stored.

When you try to patch and flash the stock boot image on 10, you're going to see allot of people complaining about boot loops. The current method to gain TWRP and root on 10 require you to factory reset, and my assumption is that it clears Magisk modules out. So if you use the method you posted, you're going to get boot loops, unless you factory reset beforehand. I tried the method posted before you made a post about it, and it is the same as now, boot loops, and being forced to flash stock 10 boot image.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] e5p10nage:
This method I am talking about.. Should only be done after already successfully upgrading. Not as a method OF upgrading. What I mean is.. If youre tryin to do this on 10.. Then you need to upgrade to ten via the system update local upgrade method.. THEN patch the boot.img from the SAME exact ota.zip you used to local upgrade. If youre on 9.0.17 and you patch and flash a boot.img for 10, I would expect a boot loop. Maybe I am misunderstanding you.. IDK But for me, I HAD to factory reset to upgrade to 10. Im not sure why. I local upgraded with the ota, then my phone wouldnt boot up except into recovery mode. I hit factory reset, and it booted up fine. A couple days later I used the same ota to patch a boot.img and I fastboot flashed it, and it was smooth as butter. Root, no need to reset, no loss of data, no wifi issue... I am not sure what it is that is going wrong for some of you, but I wanna make sure you understand, this is not a way to keep root through the upgrade.. This is just a way to root without having twrp AFTER the upgrade. Or am I completely not getting what youre saying?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Timmmmaaahh!:
Tl;dr: this is not THE root method IMHO.

I would advise everyone to stay away from this payload-dumperwin64.zip as it produces following Virustotal results (7 detections). Even if they are false positives, it's a needlessly complex method considering the alternatives out there. In comparison, Magisk is 100% clean while that is essentially one major hack. Let's not forget that the recent update of this TWRP recovery has tackled the decryption issue and grants us back all access to system manipulation and troubleshooting root problems. If you ask me, that still is the root method.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] e5p10nage:
Not everyone wants to have to deal with twrp. Especially after being screwed over by it before the new .27 or whatever. Also, it doesnt have to be that specific payload dumper. Any payload dumper you decide to use is fine. Thats just the one I used. And actually I went and looked and found these instructions from the magisk gitHub:

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/install.md#boot-image-patching
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] e5p10nage:
Heres what it says:

"Boot Image Patching

You would want to choose this method if either your device does not have custom recoveries, your device is A/B and you don't want to mix recovery and boot images, or your device is using system-as-root without A/B partitions.

To use this method, you are required to obtain a copy of the stock boot/recovery image, which can be found by extracting OEM provided factory images or extracting from OTA update zips. If you are unable to obtain one yourself, you might be able to find it somewhere on the internet."
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] e5p10nage:
The payload dumper thing I was talking about is a method of obtaining the boot.img from the ota on your own instead of looking for one on the web. Doesnt matter what payload dumper you use, that was just the one I found. Hopefully this makes it a lil more clear.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] greentag:
I said I upgraded. It's literally the first thing I said.

I upgraded the same way everyone else did. Using Oxygen Updater from the Playstore, then local upgrade. I did not factory reset, however, like you did.

The method you posted only works if you factory reset after the OS 10 upgrade.

There's already a method to upgrade and keep data, while also keeping TWRP and root, but there are a number of hoops to jump through.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] e5p10nage:
I see. Well I am glad you pointed this out cuz I wasnt aware of the need to factory reset. The only reason I did is because after the local upgrade my phone wouldnt boot to anything but recovery UNLESS I reset it. So I didnt have an option not to really. I was rooted with twrp on 9.0.17, got the ota from oxy updater, local updated, just like ya said you did. Not sure why it wouldnt boot after that without the reset. Im not entirely sure that it is 100% needed to factory reset to root this way though. Ive talked to other people who tried this and said they had no problem. Then Ive also talked to other people who have. I feel like there are some variables we arent considering at work here. But thank you for pointing this out. The only goal I have here is to be helpful, so all problems with this method also need to be part of the conversation. So I appreciate it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] greentag:
No problem. My main assumption for some of us not booting is left over Magisk modules. But no way to remove them without TWRP or root of some kind.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Striatum_bdr:
I had this issue with leftovers, preventing the os to work correctly.

At that time I didn't know the 'magisk --remove-modules' command that can be run with adb shell (and I had a patched boot img it would have probably worked, you clearly need Magisk installed.... But seems to work even in bootloop)

So I did a factory reset from stock recovery and after that I was able to flash the patched boot img without issue
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mytinyanaRXchy:
This same tutorial has been typed up time and again in these forums lately. Only the other threads typically included links (helpful) to any potentially required downloads.

Anyway this method bonks out my WiFi. Totally disabling it. And no, this is NOT because Android 10 updates the mac address sporadically. It's because its a freaking work around. It is not THE method to root this phone on Android 10, hell it is barely A method to root this phone using Android 10.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] devilrulz4ever:
It is not a work around. This is not THE method, this is the primary method. You'll find instructions along the same lines in magisk's manual. Well it becomes easier with a flashable zip, you'll have to wait for a TWRP. Why is your wifi not working that you'll have to find out, I haven't had any problems yet.

For links you'll have to google some. They are not hard to find.

Magisk github - https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html.

We have a working TWRP for A10 so this method is no longer needed and is too inconvenient.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] van4es:
Hello everyone, I have a version of t-mobile installed Android 10.0.1 and the fingerprint does not work, in the settings it is read but will not unlock the device.rooted. Who faced this?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] e5p10nage:
Thats strange. I thought 10.0.1 was spose to fix that. I am assuming youve tried re-entering new fingerprints?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] bigjailerman:
What happened to upgrade like this...>>

Remove all modules or uninstall Magisk and Swift etc themes

1. Flash full OTA via local update, don't reboot;

2. From Magisk Manager flash TWRP installer, don't reboot;

3. From Magisk Manager install magisk to inactive slot.

Reboot system

Does this still work? 6t going from 10.3 to 10.3.1

Thanks for input
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] zickler_malta:
yes it works but no need to remove modules or uninstall magisk. all i do as a precaution is remove substratum theme before using the method you mentioned.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] bigjailerman:
Thanks ?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mikevipe:
I am currently on 10.3.0. When I upgraded to 10.3.0 I lost my recovery and root. I was able to flash TWRP and install the patched boot image that someone on the forums provided to get my root back.

My question is will this affect me doing the normal upgrade method? IE:

Boot TWRP

Flash full 10.3.1

Flash TWRP

Flash Magisk

Reboot to 10.3.1

Will being on the previous 10.3.0 with the modified boot image brick my phone doing this upgrade method or am I safe to proceed?

Much Thanks.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Striatum_bdr:
You must reboot to TWRP before flashing Magisk or it won't be flashed on the right slot

See my thread in this Guide section

I unlocked my 6t McLaren but when I flash the temp twrp img it loses connection and never moved from fastboot screen to twrp. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] uttam.ace:
Hi, I was rooted with magisk patched image process, without TWRP. Due to flashing of bad Magisk module , device gone into bootloop.

Then i flashed boot.img and and it got life.Now again I am trying to flash magisk patched boot img, its not working.

I have tried below command to remove magisk from adb, still no luck.

adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules

any suggestion pl.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Striatum_bdr:
Try to boot TWRP temporarily in fastboot mode and use Magisk uninstaller zip eventually plus install Magisk or try simply just Magisk zip installer. The patched img method is only relevant when you don't have a viable twrp. See my thread.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] uttam.ace:
Hey thanks for reply, As I mentioned I didn't installed TWRP, as I tried it previously but not luck, I just rooted with magisk ,but now that too also gone due to bad magisk module. As I flashed boot.img it's got life again, and currently it's working. I want to root it again but magisk patched image unable to do the same. Btw can u send me ur link where u said a viable TWRP method is there.

Thanks again
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Striatum_bdr:
I exactly answered you, you don't need to install TWRP but you need to temporarily boot into twrp just to flash Magisk zip installer. And I guided you towards my thread, which is in Guide and News section. You'll find it easily, read again my previous answer and the first posts of my thread.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rayan:
I read on other thread about how to fix TWRP image backup and restore issues that get fixed by going into Developer Options and UNCHECK Verify Apps over USB.

I have not personally tested this, but I thought you might like to know this.

Cheers and good luck!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] e5p10nage:
Are you sure you are using the right boot.img? It has to be from the ota u are currently running. Sorry if this is a stupid question, I am just tryin to think of why it wouldnt work. Are you on 10.3.1? I could probably just post a patched img and see if that helps...?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Why would we need a patched image now that we have a working TWRP that also Supports Decryption. At this point, you can simply Boot TWRP and Flash Magisk Installer. No need for patching Boot Images.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] e5p10nage:
Thats been the case for a while. Not everyone wants to unofficial twrp. Or twrp at all. Some ppl just want root. Ive seen a few ppl who agree w me on that post here.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
In that case you can just temporarily boot the TWRP Image. No need to flash.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Striatum_bdr:
Many of the recent issues I've read here and around about soft bricks are due to misuse of patching boot img

And as said above my post you don't need to install TWRP. You just boot it in Ram to flash Magisk installer.

Much more simple than extracting boot.img from payload.bin patching it and flashing it.... Or worse using any patched boot img found on the internet that leads to MSM Download use for bricked phone.

Coming from old ZTE axon7, I wonder what top 3 benefits are to root an OOS oneplus 6T? Also wonder if oneplus has pushed out Q for 6T? Also anyone make blackberry work app working in rooted 6T (My rooted axon7 definitely not working)? Thx
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Striatum_bdr:
Rooting for what? Uh for what root is made for. Use apps that need root access. Most of users live without root. The answer is individual it's up to you to make a list of apps that can justify rooting. Probably very few in fact.

There no Android Q. Google has officially abandoned letters for version naming. There is Android 10 since a couple a months, a quick glance at 6t forums and OnePlus website will tell it to you.

Blackberry work app? No idea, see many bad evaluations of the app on Play Store. There are method to fool apps with Magisk. If you root.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] yxd0018:
I rooted axon7 as there is no 9+ update any more. Otherwise I will be happily not rooted. BB work app is to retrieve office email securely. After I rooted, even with magisk, work app still can detect the phone is rooted.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Striatum_bdr:
Then it's a Magisk issue, no specific solution here

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Naatan:
Hi, I recently got a HTC 4350 from a friend of mine, it was locked though so I got it unlocked (both sim and cim) and upgraded to WM6 (with a dutch vodafone rom gotten from this forum), only thing is, the GPRS settings seem to be pre-configured and there doesn't seem to be a way to change them.

I would like to use the WWE edition of the rom (from what I've learned so far that seems to be the "standard" version for HTC phones?) so that it really is fully "unlocked" but I am affraid if I attempt to use this I will break my phone.

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to get this done?

Also, is there an english version of this rom? (With WM6). Cause all I've managed to find were roms with other languages, basically anything but English.

Thanks a lot in advance :)

Surprisingly, my device got bricked with theese.

It's a Realme X2 Pro Global.

I was planning to go back to all stock + locked after being tired of root hiding stopping working from time to time. So I full flashed stock and the flashing worked but strangely TWRP was surviving the flash - flashing stock should also overwrite the recovery - also there were issues with enabling wifi. Then I tried flashing this boot and recovery in order to force all factory software to run, and now the device is hardbricked on QUSB_BULK mode.

I suppose there is no solution now since I see the only procedure to unbrick from QUSB_BULK involves SD card and this device doesn't have one.

Just sharing, not blaming those binaries, what happened seems very strange for me.

[Sony Xperia 10 Questions & Answers] Kestnix:
Hello everyone, there has not been much activity on this thread for a while so I'm not sure if this is still helpful.

Here is the flash script file I created to flash firmware on my Xperia 10.

Google Drive

Once you have the .fsc file (it can be opened and edited using Notepad), put it in C:\Users\[USERNAME]\.flashTool\devices\I31XX.

After that flashing with FlashTool should work. Let me know if it works for you.

Flashing a firmware - at least with Emma, NewFlasher or FlashTool - to my knowledge doesn't lock the bootloader.

[MENTION=9968829]Pan_Wojtek[/MENTION] If your bootloader is for sure unlocked and you know which of the four variants of the phone you have, download an official firmware using XperiFirm for your variant and flash that.

Let me know if you tried this already or if it worked.

Hi All, I have same problem, please help.
[Sony Xperia 10 Questions & Answers] xXqepXx:
Is there a solution yet? I have the same problem with my i3113..

EDIT:

I was able to flash the Stock ROM using Sony's Flash Software (Emma). You can download it from Sony Developer World.
[Sony Xperia 10 Questions & Answers] Pan_Wojtek:
I had same error and probable reason was locked bootloader. Android setting: "Unlock OEM bootloader" was set to ON, but even though it was still locked. What I did was unlock it by flashtool. Just press BLU button and follow instructions, procedure requires going to Sony website and generating an unique code for your device.

It may have some meaning, that my XPeria 10 is a demo phone, but it has IMEI number, it has cellular capabilities, I am capable to do a calls from it, but still fighting with demo firmware. Partially it was removed after bootloader unlocking and flashing stock FW, many demo features like demo apps, automatic removal of installed apps/auto reset of settings and demo contacts disappeared, but there still are some remains of demo FW i.e. I can't get rid off automatically launched animation. Could anyone help on that, there is probably some *.sin file that has to be reflashed or removed but I don't know which.

Regards
