Hi, I just bought a Blackview model S8. There was firmware in it

V1.0-20180302. This build is very unstable, constantly restarting and crashing the application. I downloaded V1.0-20171102 from manufacturer's website ..... this version cannot be installed on my phone, ROM has "verified protected", requires official files .... I contacted the manufacturer and gave me a link to the original version V1.0 - 20180302 plus even an update. This is normally installed, except that it is unstable. I have too version V2.0 - 20180817, but I also have "verified protected" ..... Is there any possibility to get the phone version from the manufacturer's website or here V2.0, which require those official files .....?

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Anonymous_:
Guys,

is there any solution for the always visible/discoverable bluetooth in the MIUI?

I hate I can't leave the bluetooth always on, because of the privacy concern.

I'm turning it on only when actually using and even then it is annoying to be discoverable by others. I think this is huge privacy and security risk. Is there any actual solution? Would prefer some solution without root on stock firmware, but I'm interested in all options available.

Tried few apps from the app store and they either:

1) don't work at all

2) works only when connected to bluetooth device already

Seems like Xiaomi crippled the stock Android BT functionality somehow and it is not possible to make BT visible only for already paired devices in the MIUI.

Don't think that's a setting we can change. As far as i know that's set by the provider via sim card settings or when they provision the phone. It's possible a new sim card may fix the issue...

I have installed "lineage-16.0-20191212-UNOFFICIAL-pollux" on my "Sony Xperia Z Tablet LTE" and "lineage-16.0-20190610-UNOFFICIAL-amami" on my "Sony Xperia Z1 Compact". On both devices I am facing some problems.

1e - I am not able to store my contact(s) into my device but only into my google account. I prefer to handle my account(s) on my device.

2e - I am missing a photo viewer such as "Album" or "Galery". Is this a license issue?

3e - The option "Show arrow keys while typing" in "languages & input" isn't working as expected. The arrows are not shown, the "center" button changed into an another symbol and the "start" button doesn't work always.

I've noticed that since last update, whenever Magisk prompts for su authorization I have to press "grant" button and then touch the fingerprint to authenticate. I would like to got back to just touch the fingerprint for authorization.

I've already reinstalled Magisk, double checked configuration, cleaned up dalvik/art cache but the 'problem' persists.

Thanks you all !

EDIT: Wondering if it is an Android 10 "feature" rather than a magisk 'bug'
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
If I remember correctly, that's caused by the Magisk Manager supporting Google's new biometric authentication API (Pixel 4 face unlock) and not something that can be changed.
[Magisk] yashinodon:
They're using the new API for Biometrics. It's not actually an Android 10 feature, but just a new API... It also looked like that on older versions such as Pie (older versions than Pie aren't tested yet.)

By 'they' you mean Android or Magisk ?

Cardinal rule with these devices (especially while doing root mods, etc.) is don't do

You should be able to flash the OTA file to the inactive slot, flash TWRP (installer zip) and install Magisk to inactive slot. Keeping data, and just keep motoring on!

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] craigary:
Android 10 comes earlier than expected, but there's no twrp to flash Magisk to gain root access. I tried to use SAR method to patch boot image, and it actually worked:

Requirements:

- A PC with ADB environment setup. * If you are using macOS, try to use a Virtual machine instead.

- XperiFirm to download Android 10 firmware.

- Magisk Manager App.

- unsin.exe program to extract sin file. Download here.

Instructions:

1. download the latest Android 10 firmware from XperiFirm, the current one is 52.1.A.0.532

2. open the downloaded folder and find boot_X-FLASH-ALL-B6B5.sin file. it may vary on XZ2C, but it surely will start with `boot_X-FLASH-ALL` .

3. drag the boot_X-FLASH-ALL-B6B5.sin file over unsin.exe to extract boot image, then you will get boot_X-FLASH-ALL-B6B5.img in the same directory.

4. Copy boot_X-FLASH-ALL-B6B5.img into your phone.

5. Install Magisk manager app, and make sure your phone is connected to the internet

6. Press Install → Install → Select and Patch a File, and select boot_X-FLASH-ALL-B6B5.img

7. Copy the patched image from your device to your PC, then flash it with fastboot command:

fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img

fastboot reboot

after reboot the devices, your XZ2 is should be rooted, but it probably not pass SafetyNet Check, you can use MagiskHide Props Config Module to fix it.

I can't find the way to leave the boot image and patched boot image down below as the attachments, but even if I did, I still suggest to do it manually, just in case I am an idiot and it might broke your phone.

This is independent of any android version.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] cyberwytch:
Thanks for posting this! Figured I'm chime in with my experience:

1. I'd recommend wiping userdata when upgrading to Android 10 - I don't know if this is strictly necessary, but I do know that I haven't experienced the unresponsive fingerprint sensor issue others have mentioned, or any other issues.

2. If you want to use Xposed modules like GravityBox, don't install EdXposed! The versions in the Magisk stable repository are not compatible with Android 10 and will bootloop, and even the beta version 0.4.6.0 from https://github.com/ElderDrivers/EdXposed/releases doesn't work with any module I tried.

3. Fortunately, https://taichi.cool/ works perfectly with GravityBox! Install it along with its Magisk module, and then install GravityBox Q beta 6 from https://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/app-gravitybox-v10-0-0-beta-1-android-10-t3974497.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Klaus N.:
@

everyone who is interested in getting EdXposed working with Android 10

You need to add the following Magisk modules:

1. Riru - Core 19.6 from here

2. EdXposed-SandHook-0.4.6.1 from here (

not

the YAHFA version!)

Further you need to install the most current Xposed Manager app from here (the default Xposed Installer app won't work, so deinstall it!).

After a soft reboot, it should work :good:

Most probably it'll break Safety Net (have a look inside Magisk Manager). As a workaround, you have to open Xposed Manager and black-list the following:

- Google PlayStore

- Google Play Services

- Google-Services-Framework

Reboot system

Done!

> Apply your modules (maybe not every module will work. I have successfully tested AFWall+ and XprivacyLUA)

Thanks a lot for your kind help to get this working :highfive:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] PerfectJam:
Hello, thanks for this little tutorial !

However, on another thread, ppl aren't singing the same tune ! Look at this answer that I get. [MENTION=5478526]Ænimal[/MENTION] explained me that YAHFA version should be better, especially if I want to use XPrivacyLUA.

I guess I should follow your instruction, but I downgraded my XZ2C to Android 9 from 10. I don't know if it will work as you.

I tried with this version of EdXposed : magisk-EdXposed-SandHook-v0.4.6.0_beta.4471.-release.zip and after installed Riru succesfully, I installed SandHook v0.4.6.0 and I get a bootloop issue on my phone.

So I guess I have to try SandHook v0.4.6.1 and if it doesn't work I should try YAHFA v0.4.6.1.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] serajr:
I've always used to install YAHFA builds till android 9, with no issues. So, while you're on android 9, YAHFA is the answer!

SandHook builds, on android 10, FOR NOW, seem to cause less error than YAHFA (at least in the logs - verbose/modules), that's why I'm using it.

But, as soon as EdXposed's dev releases an android 10 YAHFA fixed version, I flash it!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] PerfectJam:
Hell yeah ! This method worked for me !

I have a XZ2C (H8324) on Android 9 (build 52.0.1.8.131), and I follow step by step your tutorial, and everything worked like a charm !

I installed XPrivacyLua, it seems working. I'll post here if I have any issue to report !

Backup TA

Thank you for your post :)

Sorry for going offtopic, but can someone give info on how to safely backup TA? I spent two days but couldn't find any info on how to do it on (at the moment, latest) stock Android 10 (52.1.A.0.532) on H8324 (XZ2c).

The way I understand for this root procedure to work, I need to unlock bootloader, and that means losing DRM keys. Is there any info on how to restore bootloader and DRM keys after I finish rooting my device?

I tried to:

1) Downgrade to stock Android 8.

2) Use backupTA_v2 or FlashTool to backup TA.

But that doesn't work.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] PerfectJam:
Hello there,

If you unlock your bootloader on Android 8, DRM keys will be lost on Android 8 so you'll lost camera definitely.

However, on Android 10 and 9, you won't lost DRM keys. Take care, you'll loose camera preview on Android 9 with this version of build and lower : 52.0.A.3.84.

So better to upgrade at least to Android 9, and the lower firmware where camera isn't bugged at all when you unlock bootloader is Android 9 (52.0.A.8.131).

Conclusion : for rooting your device, you need to unlock your bootloader. If you're running on Android 10 (build 52.1.A.0.532) then, everything will be ok, I did it myself and everything worked fine.

If you need more help on how to downgrade your firmware, just let me. Personally, I didn't like Android 10 so I came back to Android 9 (52.0.A.8.131)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DUMIY:
So, if unlocking bootloader on android 10 we won't lose the DRM keys or any other functionality?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pandemic:

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] PerfectJam:
[MENTION=2902434]Pandemic[/MENTION] is right tho, I didn't express myself properly. You should read this article on XDA :

https://www.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-android-pie-unlock-bootloader-drm-fix-camera/

On Android 8, XZ2C needed to read DRM keys for making work the camera, since Android 9 it doesn't.

So as I explained before, if you're running on Android 10 you shouldn't have any problem.

I unlocked my bootloader on Android 10 then downgrade to Android 9, and my camera is still working properly !

Sorry for my ignorance but I used to mod my phone till I bought a Sony. Which differences are there?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MartinX3:
Don't worry, no one can know everything

In the past there was a DRM system integrated

Unlocking the phone removed the keys and killed some features

In the past was it camera, Sony PS controller, color manipulation of videos, the Sony store, dynamic vibration

Only stock stuff

In 8 , 9 , and 10 they removed more and more of the DRM key dependency

Means more and more stock features still just work after unlocking

If you use a custom ROM it wouldn't bother you

Just stock firmware stuff

Since the Xperia 1 / 5 you can also lock the bootloader again in the phone
