[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] JonnyTrulove:
I actually have been trying to get it to work since yesterday. Short version is, I personally cant get it to work, and it appears there are others who have had the same problems...

I will share what I have been doing so far....

- Updated to Developer Preview on Pixel 4 (that was a giant pain in the a$$ but that story is for another time)

- Installed current stable release Magisk Manager.

- Pulled the Boot Image from the 11 Dev Preview and patched with stable magisk version 20.3

Magisk log did say that it was successful, however my phone disagrees.

- Flashed newly patched image to Pixel 4 device.

Received the following output from SDK Tool:

Sending 'boot_a' (30436 KB) OKAY [ 1.290s]

Writing 'boot_a' OKAY [ 0.259s]

So all seemed successful, but...

- Device continued to bootloop back into fastboot and bootloader over and over again with a message about "no valid slot to boot"

- Did some searching, and found a thread here on XDA (sorry, not sure which one) where someone went into detail about how to flash the boot image to all slots.

- Used that info to attempt to reflash to all slots.

Command for flashing all slots from a Mac is:

./fastboot flash boot (Insert location of your magisk_patched.img) --slot=all

This did its job and I got the following output:

Sending 'boot_a' (30436 KB) OKAY [ 1.100s]

Writing 'boot_a' OKAY [ 0.396s]

Sending 'boot_b' (30436 KB) OKAY [ 1.100s]

Writing 'boot_b' OKAY [ 0.263s]

Finished. Total time: 3.490s

Thought I conquered this beast of an issue. I did not.

Even though it seemed like it may have worked, I ran into the same bootlooping. This is when I researched teh Magisk side of things and found the following "issue" from the magisk github repo.

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/2477

Basically it is some other people who are having the same issue and some others who have pointed out that the developer (TJW) prob will not be doing any work on the dev preview at this time (which makes sense since it will change drastically).

And thats where I left my attempts at rooting 11.

Since then I just reflashed the original 11 boot image and got everything back to working again. Will probably go and find the canary build of magisk later tonight and see if that works, but for now, no real progress.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] TENN3R:
If you read his updates on Twitter (here), you can follow the progress that he's making.

Currently there is no working Magisk for Android 11, but he's working on it. Since there's a lot of code to refactor, I think we will see a working version in several weeks, so for now there's nothing to do except waiting
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] Jonathanpeyton:
if only the devs for my few (gotta have ) apps would make them not require root access.

As usual XDA you've saved my butt from a lot of time wasted......
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] sic0048:
First, I would guess that if you have some "gotta have" apps, there are plenty of other people that also enjoy those apps. With enough demand, I assure you that there would be plenty of "non-root" alternatives available on the Google Play store if the features you want are actually available without root. If there aren't any "non-root" alternatives available to you, that should be the biggest clue that root is required to make the apps work the way you want. It's not the Dev fault that their apps require root. If you want to blame someone, blame Google for the way they structured Android.

Second, the current Android 11 release is specifically geared towards developers to start making sure their apps are compatible with the future release of Android 11. The fact that you want to install the developer release (which is a pre-beta release ) as your daily driver is your choice, but you should expect flaws, glitches, and bugs. You certainly can't ***** and moan about how certain functions (like root) aren't working for you - you will get zero sympathy.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] 3c:
Did the same attempt at rooting a Pixel 3 XL with Android 11, ended-up in boot-loop no matter which slot I used. Only flashing back stock boot.img worked.

And like you I ended-up on a similar page explaining Magisk does not work on Android 11 (for now hopefully).
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] dave457:
Yeah same for me today. I managed to get TWRP installed on Pixel 2 XL but no luck with Magisk.

I will subscribe to this thread and see when a Magisk version will work on 11.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] caballero221:
Hi, Magisk Canary works on Android 11. I download the beta 1 zip and root via patch and flash the boot.img un the zip

Sadly, don't works with the beta2 because I actualize via OTA and patch and flash the boot.img of the beta2 stuck in fastboot

1- install mi flash tool and Qualcomm driver on your Pc

2- open the phone (just remove the battery connector )

3-plug a USB cable in the device

4- short the jtag pins(you can find their location in this page www mobilerdx com/2018/09/xiaomi-redmi-6-pro-test-point-boot-into-edl-9008-mode.html

7-plug the USB cable in the Pc while shortening the pins

If you do these steps mi flash tool should reconize your device and you will be able to flash it
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] MaxxTwo:
Thanks man! My phone is working properly again. Let me tell my story in this.

Never opened a device before this. So I decided to take it to the official service. Unfortunately they told me that the mother board was damaged and the cost to REPLACE it is the same as buy a new phone!

So I been forced to try fix it by my self.

A couple of latex gloves XD and don't ask how I did to short the points but it works...

Now I'm using my Daisy again and waiting for official Android Q !!!

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] the_cr0w:
hello everyone, recently i had some connector-related problems with my s7edge so i'm about to buy my next phone.

i think that, in this "hardware overkill era" (personally i think that from circa 2018 the effective changes in speed became very small and unnoticeable in terms of usage; apps open just a tiny little faster ), choosing a good used it's better than ever. since i don't have much to spend (gotta apply for masters ya know) i was thinking about getting a s9plus or a OP6t. that is because i like a lot the design of both the phones and the different functions (from water resistance, qi charge, better photos and nice notch/slide-less design by s9p to the in-display fingerprint sensor and veeeery nice software of the op6t ). I really wish there was something around 250/300€ with the functions of both but couldn't find it, and since i can actually buy a still premium phone like those for just 250, probably i'll just stick with one of them. which one?

i’d really like to get a stock aosp/pixel experience with the samsung but can't find a good rom, should i choose the op6t? what is the actual modding situation from the inside?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ReapersDeath:
Honestly, just as I'm looking around for info about root for Android 10 on the S9+, Its depressing me quite a bit. Seeing that this phone isn't that old, and yet, there's so little activity for it and its non + variant. It's really surprising when In the past I had far less popular and expensive phones, and there were A LOT more people working on custom ROMs and a bunch of other stuff, when they were far older than this phone currently is. Don't get me wrong, there is people working on it, but not many.

I'd definitely look for a different phone at this point if you want a new one.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] EdinM30:
I remember the days, i have the s10+ unlocked version (U1) and i upgraded to android 10 and honestly not that hyped about it either. I still have my Note 3 and Note 4 and play with them because i miss the rooting and my freedom to do whatever i wanted with MY phone.

This trend where we can root and unlock will come to an end just like Apple killed jailbraking Samsung is slowly following Apple like a little sheep started with phone jack to locking bootloaders for them rooting is cancer that needs to be eradicated asap.

I bought the s9+ from amazon last week the G9650 and plan on rooting it later because i miss it that much but i'm staying on Pie (9) for a while longer ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Kris B:
I wondered about this too and the most plausible explanation is that many of the great Devs aren't from 1st world nations and the phones can be pricey for them to get hold of to produce ROMs etc.

This is especially holds true since high end mobile phones are $1000+ now and their monthly pay might be a couple of hundred.

Hello, idk if im doing something wrong, but recently, i get enough of custom roms and just wanted to get back to miui, but, every time i flash miui from custom orange fox recovery, it does not feel smooth, feels laggy and sometimes even freeze for couple of seconds, tried several build of miui including latest official, wiped everything, formated data, nothing helped. Can someone help me to get back to working miui? thanks :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Z750z:
Why don't you use fastboot , it will work 100% .
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] meezy5:
but this method override orange fox recovery?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Z750z:
You can flash it again after that, just make a backup in your pc, your data, because fastboot will wipe everything.

finally got time to give it a another try, im unable to flash through miflash tool always ended up with could not find file flash_bat error, and yes, i do have fast boot rom, idk :confused:

There is another simple way for flashing via fastboot, open the fastboot rom file copy all the files from there ,go to the file of Xiaomi drivers open and paste , than put your phone in fastboot mode and connect it via USB, find the file named " flash all " double click , done .
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] thorrules:
Hey guys, been a while I came here at XDA forum. But yesterday I broke my daily phone (Xiaomi mi A2) so I am back to my Xperia X compact - which I really missed for its compact size and just unique looks. However since I am on stock ROM with the last security update of September 2018, I am a little concerned about security issues. I am wondering what kind of precautions should I take while I am using this ROM as my daily phone? I understand I am pretty much vulnerable to any issues that are known after the SEP 2018 update but still there should be a way to avoid viruses/leaks if I stick to certain apps, right?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] betacrypt:
Is your phone rooted? If so, there are apps like AdAway you can download to block ads at a system level, which could potentially boost security. Or virus scanners like MWB for Android. Other than that, I don't know of any other options running such an old ROM.

put a 0kb file named WELCOME.NOT on your storage card and do a hard reset. It will bypass the whole initial setup, including the screen alignment part.

You can also try a soft reset once you get to that point and see if it passes it.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinybilbo:
I've had a Fire HD 10 (2019) knocking around since black Friday, and I've finally got around to looking at it...

I realise that it's not fully rooted, but does has some sort of temporary root... (from this thread)

https://xdaforums.com/hd8-hd10/general/fire-hd10-2019-t3979343

The thread mentions 2 ways of gaining root. The initial temporary one and a partial " bootless root for a more permanent root solution".

I don't really need root for this tablet except to be able to mod it to run a different launcher and debloat it. I don't intend to install any Magisk modules.

So should I just use the toolkit to gain temp root, install google play stuff, disable OTA's and then install a new launcher...

or should I setup the bootless root and then do the other stuff (with or without the toolkit)?

Is the bootless root permanent (i.e it persists after a reboot), in which case I could use something like Icebox to freeze the main launcher and other apps?

Can I delete the the main launcher and then install Nova launcher and rename it to that of the original launcher?

Finally what's the best way to ensure I don't accidentally update the tablet whilst setting it up?

It's already asking to connect to wifi during setup (It so far has never been online or even setup)....

Thanks :)

I know all about the new features and improvements: the crazy camera, beautiful 120Hz screen, huge battery and so on.

But I want to know what you guys really think?

They are offering good trade in values too ($600 for the S10+) and the preorder discount (~$200-235), which is only good at samsung.com. But I already own the Buds and the Galaxy Watch Active2...[emoji53]

So, with all that (including the S10+ trade in), we still have to pay ~$900 (with tax) cash for the S20 Ultra. Is it really worth it?

What's the best smartwatch to use with this phone

Thinking of going with fossil 5th gen. What are you guys using
[Google Pixel 3a Accessories] BigOkie:
Depending on what you need, until Google decides to put more effort into WearOS, I'm done with them. I have a Fitbit Versa 2 now and works for what I need. I had a TicWatch Pro that worked ok but WearOS was just unusable on it after some time.
[Google Pixel 3a Accessories] Skittles9823:
I don't really need a crazy robust smartwatch that can do everything. I just have an Amazfit GTR 47mm and it does the job. Battery is insane (can last for two weeks to a month in-between charges) and that's mainly why I got it.
[Google Pixel 3a Accessories] ylapas:
AmazFit GTR here too.
[Google Pixel 3a Accessories] sic0048:
If you want something that runs WearOS, then the Fossil 5th gen or comparable watch is really the best thing going at this time. There is at least one other manufacture that has released a watch with the same core components as the Fossil 5th Gen and it works just as well. I don't remember the name, but it is a premium brand and more expensive than the Fossil. Personally I'm still rocking the original LG G smart watch and waiting for it to die so that I can get a Fossil 5th Gen in good conscience. :)

If you don't care about WearOS, then it opens the doors to lots of possibilities. Obviously the Fitbit devices work very well for what they are, but there are plenty of other choices too.
[Google Pixel 3a Accessories] jmcandrews83:
Yeah I really just want to be able to text on it and be able to start and stop my music and podcast at work without getting in trouble

Google needs to wake up and take Wear OS much more seriously but in the mean time Samsung isn't a slouch with their Tizen watches. There's even a workaround to get get Google Assistant working on Tizen watches.
[Google Pixel 3a Accessories] casabel:
Fossil Gen 5 is a very good wearos watch to pair with a pixel phone.

This is not a fitness tracker and its logic is similar to the iwatch, so needs charging each night.

I have had it for some months now and since it can be found arround 230USD its worth the investment
[Google Pixel 3a Accessories] Note10.1Dude:
I use a Garmin Vivoactive 3 (cheap these days). It is more fitness watch with some smartwatch features thrown in, but is good for 3-4 days on a charge unless heavy GPS use.
[Google Pixel 3a Accessories] mrtomaso:
Using amazfit bip. It doesn't have a lot of the bells and whistles. You can read texts but not respond. It does alert you to phone calls and allow you to ignore them. It has a great feature for finding your phone.

Miss the ability to reply to text that I had with my pebble 2 and control music, but Bluetooth headphones do that.

The real advantage is battery life and the fact the display is always on. I love that I don't have to flick the watch or touch it to see what time it is! With the heart monitor turned off I average about 2 months between charges!

Plus they cost a little over 50 bucks, so very light on the wallet!
