[Moto E5 Questions & Answers] bigjoncoop:
I have Moto E5 plus (hannah XT1924-7 variant) metro pcs.

In about phone it says M8940TMO_31.20.11.66R HANNAH_NA_TMO_CUST

My device has 3GB RAM / 32GB

im using twrp 3.3.1 and rooted with magisk. and my bootloader is unlocked. running stock OTA 8.0

On this xda post someone said that if you have a 3gb version = Hannah - and - 2gb version = RHANNAH

https://xdaforums.com/moto-e5/help/hannah-rhannah-t3909453

I can only successfully flash a backup ive made in twrp. I've tried numerous roms for XT1924-7 in both Hannah and RHannah and Stock IMG's. . Using both TWRP and fastboot/bootloader. All found at xda

I was able to flash one rom but went into boot loop spent hours trying to flash multiple stock roms for xt1924-7 hannah / rhannah

Twrp always errors out with either "ERROR 255" or "bootloader image not signed or corrupt, etc..."

FastBoot errors out with - "Invalid sparse file format at header, or

Invalid sparse file format at header magic error: write_sparse_skip_chunk: don't care size 919890484 is not a multiple of the block size 4096 error: write_sparse_skip_chunk: don't care size 384072244 is not a multiple of the block size 4096 Sending sparse 'system' 1/3 (523260 KB) error: write_sparse_skip_chunk: don't care size 919890484 is not a multiple of the block size 4096 error: write_sparse_skip_chunk: don't care size 919890484 is not a multiple of the block size 4096 OKAY [ 19.285s] Writing sparse 'system' 1/3 (bootloader) Invalid sparse image (bootloader) Preflash validation failed FAILED (remote: '')"

Whats goin on?

I just read that using magisk for root will caz bootloader / or something, to see the device as perry variant.?.?.? (forgot exactly)

and i'm also not quite sure if i'm GSI / Phh-Treble... most roms for MOTO E5 plus say GSI IN TITLE. I've researched some ...

any ideas why i am unable to flash any thing at all besides nandriod backup?

thx
[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] Pablo1994:
Hey folks,

I haven't really played around with custom roms since the glory days of my Xperia X8, as stock OS' have gotten pretty decent nowadays, but I stumbled upon news that the G7 Plus is getting some roms based on Lineage and AOSP, so I'm curious about updating mine, however my question is, is it really worth it nowadays? As I said, I've grown very accustomed to Motorola Stock software specially, but I want to get your opinions/experiences and specially info about features that would make this absolutely necessary compared to the stock rom.

Thanks!
[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] digitaljeff:
Not worth it in my opinion. In the early days of android I always rooted my devices and installed custom roms (since the HTC Dream/G1). I don't anymore as android has matured to the point that many of the things I rooted for, installed roms, are now baked in.

Sure being able to remove system apps and bloatware, as well as system level ad blocking was/is nice, xposed is cool, but the G7 has near stock with miniscule bloat (other than moto stuff) and that is fine by me. Coupled with Blokada for ad-blocking, there are no features of rooting/custom rom I personally see necessary. Plus the rom development for this device is pretty dismal as is and not really worth it.

If your stuck on getting root, i would just root and stick to the stock rom.

I'm having this weird line that comes on my screen which does not seem to go away no matter how much I seem to wipe the screen and try to clean it to my utmost in the end it always seems to come back as u cam see in the picture. Please help if u know of a way I can get rid of this. Also sorry for terrible image (laptop cameras really need to improve). P.S. Thanks in advance.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] ntmalol:
I don't see the line, only dot. Looks like a bunch of dead pixels. May be you dropped it? LED screens have this problem if you drop it. All you can do now is replace your screen. Sadly wiping it won't make it go away. lol
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] boomboomer:
The photo is no help, it looks like it could be a screen protector peeling away on the long edge at the top in that picture - or the dark line running almost diagonally across the screen dividing dirty finger prints from clean screen; but either could be just reflections.

Was the screen on when the picture was taken? Is that a white pixel cluster or just lint?

Try taking a better picture and explain the problem a bit better.
[Magisk] click4dylan:
I am trying to remove a pre-installed app from the product partition and from what I have read, magisk as of 19.4 and 20 supports modifying files in the product partition. I can't seem to find any magisk modules that allow you to do so. I am familiar with C++ but never have written anything for android. Does anyone know of an app or magisk module that will allow me to do what I am trying to do? System app uninstaller fails, and FX file explorer can't mount it, so I'm not sure what to do. Thanks.

Basically what I want to do is to disable/remove the original Maps apk in the product partition so I can install a version that I prefer that is older than the pre-installed one. All attempts to modify the version string in the apk have failed
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
You'll need a Magisk module. You could of course create an installer, but that's not really necessary for such a simple thing.

In /data/adb/modules, create a directory that will be your module. In this directory create /system/product/<path to the app>, and finally in this directory create a file naked .replace (mind the leading dot, it's necessary). You'll end up with:

/data/adb/modules/<your module directory>/system/product/<path to app>/.replace

Official doc details:

https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/guides.html#remove-folders

So that this will look nice in the Manager modules list you should also create a module.prop file. Just follow the docs, right here:

https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/guides.html#moduleprop

(It's usually a good idea if "id" matches the module directory name mentioned above.)
[Magisk] click4dylan:
Thank you very much for your response. I have done just as you said and created /data/adb/modules/MapsDowngrade/system/product/Maps/.replace as well as created the module.prop . I noticed youtube vanced has placed the modified apk in the folder as well, which I did so. Unfortunately, upon reboot the original Maps is still there as if nothing changed
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Did you also uninstall any updates that had been made to Maps? Updated are stored in /data, so those will still be there after any /system apps have been removed.
[Magisk] click4dylan:
Yes, this is a fresh install of the OS and all updates were disabled on play store before it was put online
[Magisk] click4dylan:
I just made a full magisk module installer and still have the same issue. Here is a copy of the magisk file I created: http://nightfire.no-ip.org/DowngradeMaps.zip

I based it off of the youtube vanced module but removed unnecessary parts but the original Maps is still showing up, even if I disable it before installing the module and then re-enabling it.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Ok. More info needed then.

First I would have expected the Maps directory to be in /system/product/app or /system/product/priv-app instead of directly in /system/product/, but I don't have a device with a product partition so I don't know how it works.

Second, what does /system/product/Maps and /product/Maps look like? If the module worked as expected both of those should only contain the .replace file.

Last, please post the Magisk log, but only do so after you've installed the Canary debug build, since it has much more detailed logging (install the apk from here and make sure that debug is selected under "Update channel" in the Manager settings: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/dev-magisk-canary-channel-bleeding-edge-t3839337). The log might show if things are mounting properly.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Using a module installation zip might actually be too much in this case, since it's such a simple module. Just complicates things unnecessarily... I'd advice just staying with creating the directory manually.
[Magisk] click4dylan:
Sorry I wrote my directory above wrongly. My phone (Oneplus 7t) has a system/product/app/Maps/Maps.apk and a product/app/Maps/Maps.apk

I will reply with the logs soon. I will add a .replace for both directories now.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Just to simplify things and make troubleshooting easier, could you post a new log with your other modules disabled?

And, what does the module look like now? In the module directory you should only have module.prop and the /system/product/apo/Maps/ directory structure with the .replace file, nothing else. I'm asking because you seem to imply (and the log suggests it as well) that you've also created a /product/app/Maps directory. That would break things since Magisk expects to create that symlink itself... You can find more, very useful, info about how a module is built here:

https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/guides.html
[Magisk] click4dylan:
Currently there is now only the .replace file and the module.prop

Ok, that looks good. But, I'm expecting that the real directories (not in the module directory), /product/app/Maps and /system/product/app/Maps does not contain the .replace file then, or?

Nope, product/app/Maps contains only Maps.apk and system/product/app/Maps contains Maps.apk and nothing else

Hello everybody

I have the same problem. I use a self-made magisk module to debloat my Rom (OOS 10.3.0 - OnePlus 6t). The apps from /system/app and /system/

priv-app work, but unfortunately not in /system/product. I tested the whole thing with magisk 20.1 and 20.2 and came to the same result. Seems like it's a bug. Here is a screenshot (Solid Explorer - left /data/adb/modules/ - right /system/Producer/priv-app)
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
It does seem like a bug... I've brought the issue up with [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION], so let's see what he has to say.
[Magisk] click4dylan:
thanks for looking into this!
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Apparently it might be OnePlus messing things up. OxygenOS is mounting /data/india/india.img over /system/product, which makes it impossible for us to do our thing with Magisk.

The solution is to remove the img file, but I have absolutely no idea what it's for (you'd have to do the homework for that). Just to be safe you could just rename it to india.bak and if something breaks rename it back to .img.
[Magisk] mj084:
+1

same problem on OP7T (HD1900) with xXX Magisk module and my own Magisk debloat module...

debloating of system/app and system/priv-app is working as expected - but debloating under product/app is weird (no replacing files with 0KB in it - files explorers showing only empty folders) and under product/priv-app nothing is debloated...

edit: found no india.img under data/india...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] demonizator:
HTC begins shipping its Diamond handset with updated TouchFLO interface.

One of HTC's Diamond key selling points is its TouchFLO 3D interface, which brings a new way to scroll through contacts, browse the Internet, and the like. However, unfortunately, performance has been generally sluggish. HTC looks to remedy this, by releasing a newer version of the interface on new Touches. The newer version of the interface looks to bring an significant speed-boost to the table. There is no word if current owners will be able to upgrade to the new version as of yet.

source: Mobile-Review​

Does anybody have their hands on this updated version? Or at least some more info about it - version number, included in new rom, performance video etc.​

-added fstab, usb init script from ashyx's recovery

Be aware of bootloader bug:

Once you entered recovery there is no way to reboot device in normal/download mode except from recovery itself. Which is problematic if it's not operating correctly.

Ideas how to get out of it in case you stuck in broken recovery:

1. Use adb (provided that it works)

adb reboot

2. Connect keyboard via OTG-adapted and press Alt + SysRq + O to power off device (saved my device).

3. Disconnect battery or let it die while burning bootloader splash into the screen.

4. Use USB Jig to enter download/EDL mode (might be ignored by bootloader just like key-combo).

Do you need to use the forced encryption disabler?

I don't really care about the "full functionality" in TWRP, but I want to watch L1 widevine content with my rooted A605FN, and that isn't possible if the /data partition was formated.

But the (old?) "SM-A605-keymaster-fix-by-Not_Sure.zip" needs /data access, so I guess the forced encryption disabler is needed for that fix?

And what is the difference between the "fixed full-disk encryption (msm keystore implementation)" in this TWRP Mod and the (old?) "SM-A605-keymaster-fix-by-Not_Sure.zip"? Is there even any?

Can we use this twrp for my A6+ android 10? will it work if i use it?
[Samsung Galaxy A6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Not_Sure:
It doesn't work not because /data was formatted, but because boot partition was changed which breaks chain of trust.

"fixed full-disk encryption (msm keystore implementation)" means that TWRP can decrypt /data but only when it was encrypted with "SM-A605-keymaster-fix-by-Not_Sure.zip" previously applied. If you have non-rooted stock ROM you still have to format /data first.

One customer had to call me 6 times to get through and said he just kept getting dead air after it would ring. T-Mobile is saying there is a known issue in the area. However they are telling me almost no one is calling in about the problem. I was wondering if anyone else here is having the same problems so that I can tell T-Mobile it is a priority. If you could just post under me I will follow up with T-Mobile and let them know. The are saying that the problem is a low frequency issue that should only affect you in the car or inside a building.
