[Magisk] OrlandoNative:
I have Magisk 20.1 (Magisk Manager 7.5.1) currently installed on my Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2016). While initially installing it was not as straight forward as it might have been (install doc could use some work; I think it's written for folks with more familiarity with android devices on a day to day basis than those who root a phone maybe once every few years); I installed Magisk and it's been working fine.

However, this morning I had a notification that I needed to run Magisk setup. I told it to do so; it downloaded something; rebooted the tablet ( which wasn't warned of in the notification); and on coming back up ran Busybox so I'm assuming that was the setup. Going into Magisk Manager, however, I got the same notification over again. So I let it update again with the same result.

This time I told it to cancel the update/setup. I then tried to manually do the update from 20.1 (20100) to 20.3 (20300, latest available version). Update proceeded normally until repacking; which failed. Since Magisk is already installed and working (with several root level apps) on this phone; I can't see where this could be the "wrong image problem" which seems to be the most prevalent root cause of this kind of error. Unfortunately the update as distributed doesn't say anything about *why* it can't repack the image; so the message doesn't help us ordinary folks in debugging.

Any ideas as to what the actual issue is?

Android info:

Version 8.1.0

Kernel 3.18.14-1570595

Build M1AJQ.T580UEU4CSC1

Note: Busybox had an update I believe came out sometime yesterday (saw notification it updated successfully). Could it be that something in the Busybox update broke the Magisk update process?

I compared my Diamond wiht my girl friend's Diamond side by side (both bought from HKCSL with ROM 1.34 and upgraded to ROM1.37), found her Diamond LCD is more white and mine is a bit yellowish. I think it is related to color temperature. Anyone has idea about this obervation? Any way to adjust it? I like to make the screen more white.

BTW, this also shows HTC has bad quality control.

As Opera Browser seems to start showing his age (e.g. i cannot open duckduckgo.com search engine anylonger....among many of the commonest sites), has anyone found a serious candidate to replace Opera as Nook NST browser of choice?

M
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
I had no trouble accessing and using duckduckgo.com with Opera Mobile 12.1. Changing the TLS and cache settings is important with this old browser, but there will still be some sites that are simply beyond its capabilities because of menu systems used that can't display properly under Android 2.1 and also sites that require higher screen resolutions. It's doubtful that you will find another browser that is as well-behaved.
[Nook Touch General] marcoNST:
Thanks for the trick!

The TLS change resolved the problem.

Do you know if you can change the default Google engine in Opera, as I can't see anything both in the config page and the Settings interface.

Thanks again!

M
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
There is apparently no way to change the default search engine, based on postings I have read at Opera. This was a long-standing complaint. You can probably do it with the modern versions, but not this old one. It

is

possible to add a search engine (and delete others you don't want), but Google will always come up as the first choice. Of course you can also add a search engine to the speed dial page easily.

Moto G7 Play

CHANNEL (XT1952-4)

Sprint, Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile

RIL/Cellular Data on GSI Based ROMs

DISCUSSION:

As most Moto G7 Play owners are already aware, our devices are fully Project Treble compatible. As such, there are several GSI builds of custom Android 9 and Android 10 ROMs that can be installed on the Moto G7 Play and booted using the stock boot image. As is typical on Sprint compatible Moto devices, users are experiencing telephony issues and broken cellular data connections after installing GSI based ROMs. After much trial and error, I have been able to establish RIL and a fully stable 4G/LTE cellular data connection on an AOSP Android 10 GSI ROM. Because the fix involves some rather unorthodox steps, system-level mods and sequential reboots, I am actively working on a simplified fix that can simply be installed via TWRP. In theory, the fix should work on any GSI based or custom ROM for the CHANNEL; however, this theory will need to be tested. The sole purpose of this thread is for such discussions and such testing.

I would urge any owners of the Boost Mobile/Virgin Mobile/Sprint Moto G7 Play to share their individual experiences regarding RIL and cellular data while using GSI based ROMs. My tentative fix is for Boost Mobile only; however, based on past Moto history and theory, a single universal fix should suffice for all Sprint dependent providers. The only key difference should be individualized APN configurations for cellular data.

NOTE: Please do not make ETA type requests on this project. I work long hours and travel regularly. I commit to XDA projects when free time permits. Also, if there are any Sprint of Virgin Mobile users of the xt1952-4, please share your experiences with cellular data on GSI based ROMs.
[Moto G7 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] PoochyX:
My signal bar keeps on going in and out on the android 10 GSIs and after I configure the data via apn settings I get Lte but the signal bar goes in and Out so it's pointless ( signal with the x no signal then lte signal for a few seconds) on the android 9 GSIs my signal is solid however no matter what apn configurations I use I'm not able to obtain LTE (same configs give me data on Android 10 GSIs minus the signal bar issue on Android 10 GSIs) can you share the steps in how you was able to fix the GSi boost mobile data and signal and the twrp zip so it can be tested (I need that tentative fix)

([emoji3590]09-09-18[emoji3590])
[Moto G7 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Yes. That's what this thread is for. I'm actively working on a simplified fix that can be installed with TWRP, so that data is enabled and stable on reboot. I'm in hopes that this will work on Sprint and its subsidiary networks.
[Moto G7 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] PoochyX:
Can you post the manual method for us boost users that would like to have functionality with GSIs now since the twrrp zip is still in works and there isn't a eta on it

([emoji3590]09-09-18[emoji3590])
[Moto G7 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
The "manual" method is unorthodox, rather sloppy, and overall unreliable (it does not always survive a reboot). This is the very reason I'm devising a simplified method. Simply put, this is a work in progress. I now know why the fix doesn't always survive a reboot, and I am implementing that fix into the simplified method. My goal is to post a fix that is both stable and universal for all owners of the Sprint compatible CHANNEL. I do not have an ETA. I work long hours and travel frequently, so I commit time to this and other Android projects when I have extra time. The unofficial TWRP for the CHANNEL, created by [MENTION=7718083]Spaceminer[/MENTION], is fully stable and functional for all intents and purposes. It performs a full backup of all pertinent partitions, wipes relevant partitions, and installs zip files written with the Edify updater-script/update-binary.

I was using retail firmware on my boost mobile G7 play and I was getting locked sim is it because my device isn't unlocked, so I had to switch back to the sprint firmware and then the locked sim went away

/09/[emoji645]/[emoji725]/
[Moto G7 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
The Boost Mobile xt1952-4 is locked to the Boost Mobile network. There may be a user-end mod or workaround to enable GSM SIM support for other carriers but I've honestly not researched that topic. I do know the Boost xt1952-4 has quad-band GSM capabilities, so the network lock was undoubtedly put in place by Sprint.

Are you saying that you were using GSM providers while on the retail firmware?
[Moto G7 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] PoochyX:
Na I was using my boost sim card (just tried retail since it doesnt have carrier bloat until your fix was ready so I can transfer to a android 9 GSI for daily driver) it was working for a bit calls and Lte and then I got sim card locked please do a reboot cycle and if issue still persist call your service provider so I reflashed boost firmware and the sim lock was removed (My G7 play is not networked unlocked I think if it was I could of used retail firmware with no issues)

/09/[emoji645]/[emoji725]/
[Moto G7 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Have you tried using the retail firmware but keeping the Boost (Sprint) radio firmware? In other words, install all files of the retail firmware except NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn. This will allow you to run retail firmware with the Boost baseband radio.

Somebody in one of the other threads tried it sometime back and had good results with it. And, as you know already, no real danger in trying it. Not going to hard brick your device. At worst, you may have to reinstall a full firmware package to restore your device.

Moto G7 play Stock image required

I know this is not the right thread to post but I need true stock image for my Moto G7 Play.

Anyone can help me finding the true stock image for my Moto G7 Play. I purchased Moto G7 play (Dual SIM, used) from local market. (The IMEI numbers assigned to my cell phones are actually of Moto X play. Some how the saler has changed the IMEI of it. It came to my knowledge when I tried to use Moto Lenovo Smart Assistant. It didn't download the Stock image.). My cell phone Build Number is

channel-userdebug 9 PPY29.68-23 2dec-intcfg,test-keys

I know that stock images are available at the below link but which one is to use without getting into trouble.

Can anyone help me please.
[Moto G7 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I'll try to help you out. I need your exact model number. It will begin with XT. I've searched the Lolinet firmware repo and a couple of other sources for your build. I'm not finding Build No PPY29.68-23. Provide me with your model number and your region and we should be able to locate a compatible firmware package for your phone.
[Moto G7 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] muhahsan2004:
Thank you for your interest. Its XT1952-2. I know becasue its a special cell phone printed on its head "MOTOROLA CONFIDENTIAL PROPERTY: NOT FOR SALE". As I mentioned its purchased from local market in Pakistan, I actually don't konw how these used cellphones arrived in Pakistan.
[Moto G7 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] muhahsan2004:
Dear I found some interesting fact, I recently tried the fastboot getvar all and I got my real IMEI #. I gooled that IMEI number for verification. It belongs to Moto G7 Play. As I mentioned in my 1st post that the IMEI numbers I saw in android settings are different & belongs to Moto X Play.

I also find few lines containing channel-retail-****, then it clicks me that there is a folder at Lolinet website with the name RETAIL. I thought it maight be useful for you.
[Moto G7 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I understand. Thanks for the info. I'll get on Lolinet when I get a chance and try to find a firmware build that will work on your device. As far as the IMEI you have, as long as the number is clear on the global database, you should have no problems with telephony. I've owned at least a couple of phones with mismatched IMEI numbers. As long as your IMEI is clean, even if it's from an old flip phone, you shouldn't have any problems.

Nevermind on the region. I narrowed it down. Here is a link to the RETAIL firmware that should work on your device. Select the newest package and use fastboot or RSD-Lite to flash the firmware.

The TWRP has been able to install Magisk for some time, although you can opt to install Magisk with fastboot mode. Either way suffices.

Edit- you meant flashing the patched magisk img in twwrp via the boot partition

[Moto G7 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] muhahsan2004:
Thank you very much for your supprot Viva, I will give it try when I'll find some spare time.
[Moto G7 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Anytime [MENTION=3513468]muhah[/MENTION]sa2004. Let me know if the firmware works.
[Moto G7 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I'm using the latest stock firmware, rooted with Magisk 20.3-stable. I didn't use TWRP to install Magisk, but rather fastboot mode. Although, a couple of members confirmed that our unofficial TWRP was able to install Magisk properly. Using the latest Magisk Manager app, you need to patch a stock boot image file. Before you patch boot.img, you'll need to select Advanced Options and enable the option for Recovery Mode. Once patching is complete, the patched boot image will be saved to your Downloads folder. Take the magisk_patched.img and safe it to your adb/fastboot directory on your PC. Boot your phone into AP Fastboot mode, open a command prompt in the path of your adb/fastboot directory. Execute:

fastboot devices

If your device and PC are synced correctly, the command window will display an alphanumeric string of characters representing your device's serial number. Next execute:

fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img

Now, instead of booting your device normally, you will want to boot to recovery mode. Booting into recovery will bout your device into the Android OS with Magisk v20.3 installed. Note: anytime you reboot your device, in order for Magisk to work, boot to recovery versus booting to system. Because our device is system-as-root and partitioned as A/B, this method is the workaround to getting Magisk to stick.
[Moto G7 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] PoochyX:
I'm aware of this installation method of magisk its the one I'm using at the moment the method I was talking about was flashing the zip in twrp so one could have magisk and custom recovery at the same time

([emoji3590]09-09-18[emoji3590])
[Moto G7 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Ahh. I see what you're saying. It's the way you boot into recovery that determines whether recovery mode boots the Android OS w/Magisk installed, or whether it boots TWRP. You can have both Magisk and TWRP installed. The only trick is the manner in which you have to boot into each one. Here's a better explanation on it. Scroll down to the heading "Magisk in Recovery."

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

As [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION] points out, on these type devices, you cannot use TWRP to install or upgrade Magisk.
[Moto G7 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] PoochyX:
Ocean and river are able to obtain root via magisk and keep twrp as the recovery hence having magisk and twrp there also A/B devices and we in the same family we should be able to do it also the fact that we are not able is cause are twrrp has bugs in that space miner is doing his best to sort out (being able to install magisk zip in twrrp to obtain root, having backups successfully restore that are made in twrrp as of right now if u restore a backup the device bootloops and having twrp be able to remove the encryption on the stock rom no matter how you flash the decryption zip the stock rom always re encrypts after first boot an issue that ocean and river don't have in stock that we shouldn't have neither then again there twrp is offical status)

([emoji3590]09-09-18[emoji3590])
[Moto G7 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I'm thinking Ocean and River, and other A/B devices like ours, have specialized TWRP installation scrips. I've noticed some of the downloads on the TWRP official page will be labeled as TWRP_Installer (or something similar). Like you said, hopefully our device will have an official build soon. [MENTION=7718083]Spaceminer[/MENTION] has done amazing work on getting development off the ground for our device, and an official build is in the works for our CHANNEL over at TeamWin. With an imminent official Android 10 update for our device coming soon, things are definitely looking up.

To clarify, are you not running both TWRP and Magisk on your G7 Play?
[Moto G7 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
I'm working on it... I also made a twrp installer just the other day. It seems to work too.

Did you ever get the apn thing working? Because I can probably help make that happen. I'd need an apn that works for Sprint, and Boost. I have one that should work for anyone Virgin branded. We moved to Boost technically but I don't know if their apn works for us now. Basically you just consolidate the 3 into one apn, then make it flashable. By the way; Am I correct in thinking that TWRP does work properly on a GSI? That's important for the flashable aspect.
[Moto G7 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I've not used TWRP on a GSI myself, but [MENTION=7815789]PoochyX[/MENTION] can probably chime in for confirmation on that. Yes, I'll get you my apns-config.xml with Sprint and all subsidiaries' APN configs. I've made an installation script and as well but still need to set metadata permissions.
