Whoever the super-secret dcd test crew is, they are doing a FINE job imo. We hardly ever find serious bugs in mass with dcd roms that would warrant the need for a ton more testers.

I think dcd is a little reluctant to even release anything to the "public" knowing there is work to be done... Don't get me wrong, I love testing roms and would gladly throw on a test if he passed it our way. But on that same token, I think it's more so impatience on our part that demands these test roms, because quality wise ... these guys are on top of it just fine within their 'lil circle :)

[General Questions and Answers] Elliz1:
A few weeks ago I integrated my SD card to use as phone memory. Everything was fine until a couple of days ago.

All of a sudden I saw the "insert SD card" notice appear on the notification bar. I open the back cover but the SD card looked like it was in place. I remove it and insert it back and the notice disappears. But then I notice that when I go to file explorer (FX) to access my files, it says "Access was denied". I can't access anything that is on my phone memory, although the apps are working. I guess system files are OK, but everything else is not.

My phone is rooted so I tried to access the files through TWRP but I can only see system folders.

Phone is a Moto C plus. Nougat.

Can someone please help?
[Magisk] :
Hi,

While hoping this isn't a duplicate thread, I'm asking for help with Magisk installation process.

When patching the image from .tar to .img, I'm getting the "no boot image found" error message. What does it mean? Is there a fix?

I'm using a Nokia 4.2 TA-1157 (with Android 9)

Thanks.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
You sure you're doing it right? There are a couple of threads in your device's forum related to rooting with Magisk. You would likely get much better help there.

For future update, how to do it?

Just do dirty flash? (if Magisk exist)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] droidian5:
From the OP

Update / Dirty Flash

- Boot into recovery

- Flash the latest build

- Wipe Cache

- Reboot to system & #KeepEvolving

:laugh:
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] freshlysqueezed:
Installed smoothly.

Recognized my Verizon sim card.

Volte works

Bluetooth and aptx works

Microphone works on the recorder app

Pixel experience is nice.

March 5 Android security patch

March 1 Google play security was easily updated

Rapid charging works

Need to test battery life.

Thanks for the ROM.

Google Play System Update is not updating for me. It pretends to update but after the reboot, it's still the same version from 09/2019. Did you have to do anything special to get the update through.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] freshlysqueezed:
I had to do it twice, and then it stuck.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] R2D2_SW:
Thanks! I did it twice and indeed it showed that it finally updated to 2/2020. However, when I tapped on it, the phone rebooted by itself and after the reboot, I was back to the 9/2019 version?!?!?!?!? And now, when I click to download and install, I get the "Updates are temporarily unavailable" message. I had to clear data on Google Play to have a shot at reinstalling and it was groundhog day from there. This whole "Security" section seems quite unstable when the 2/2020 update is in place. I feel like it reboots randomly at any moment and you're back to 9/2019 again.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] freshlysqueezed:
Strange, no random reboots for me. I purposely rebooted and it still says March 1.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Sceccu:
So, a good rom, love the features, however...

Wakes up in pocket and does stuff.

Chipmunk voices on calls unless I turn speaker on and off

Hates my USBC headphones (stop working randomly, sometimes phone reboots) which to be honest USBC Headphones suck anyway there's absolutely no traction to stop them from coming out, next phone I get is gonna have a headphone jack.

Can anyone provide a link to the twrp image that they are using.

I found that my issue is with the patched boot image.

I can install TWRP with a patched boot. Everything works ( touch, flashing, etc.)

I can flash Evo 4.2 or 4.3 and if reboot from there everything works ( wifi, login to google, cellular)

Try to flash the patched boot image to get twrp back and no wifi ( wifi will not activate phonw will not pick up 2.4 or 5 bands)

So all that to say/ask, can some on provide me a good twrp image that has had success with the install.

I have downloaded different feb images, jan images that were patched, but none seem to work for me.

Thanks
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] chanh2018:
I used the official version from TWRP, and it works all the time.

https://twrp.me/essential/essentialph1.html
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] qnc:
Thanks. I have tried that one also.

Here is what i tried.

Test 1

flash regular unpatched twrp-3.2.3-0-mata.img from twrp website

no touch, (this is expected per other post)

Test 2

restore to jan build just to make sure it is clean

install patched version - filename = Patched_Boot_10_Jan.img

- go a link form xda for this file

- touch works

flash 4.3 and reboot, everything working,

flash patched boot to get twrp back and no wifi

Test 3

restore to jan build just to make sure it is clean

install patched version - filename = Patched_Boot_10_Jan.img

- go a link form xda for this file

- touch works

flash 4.3 and reboot, everything working

flash regular twrp no touch in twrp as expected with regular unpatched version

That is the reason I think it is my twrp image causing wifi issues and I was looking for a new image.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] chanh2018:
At Test 3, after flash 4.3, I flash TWRP installer and then reboot. You shouldn't flash TWRP after reboot.

Another solution (which I always use) is having OTG dongle + mouse, with these I don't need patched image and use all official files from TWRP.

Help with rooting

I have loaded the Evolution X rom and it works great. The problem comes when i try to root it. I have followed the instructions from here, https://xdaforums.com/essential-phone/how-to/guide-how-to-install-twrp-root-t3841922, but everytime I run through steps, it bootloops into the bootloader. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] chanh2018:
Here's what I did:

1. Back to Jan stock

2. Copy Evolution X rom + TWRP installer + Magisk to phone

3. Flash TWRP image

4. Wipe data+system+cache

5. Flash Evolution X rom (first)

6. Flash TWRP installer (second)

7. Reboot phone

8. Boot back to TWRP recovery

9. Flash Magisk

10. Reboot - Done

(You'll need OTG dongle + mouse at step 4 because TWRP has no touch)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] njsges:

I had flashed Evolution X earlier with Magisk. I don't actually want a root because I use Google pay a lot, despite that just the custom rom works fine for me.

But I just want to try a few more roms, so to cut it short I want to backup the current rom, data, boot etc, for that to work I have to delete this data/per_boot folder, but I don't have access to it.

So, can you guys help to get root access, I have to install magisk manager & then flash Magisk 20.4? That's it?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] chanh2018:
For root access, all you need is get TWRP working, use it to flash Magisk, if you success, then that's it, you get root.

But what I heard is TWRP doesn't work well for backup starting Android 10. I've never tried, but just let you know.

You might use Titanium backup or Swift backup to backup data and app, but not the whole OS (or ROM) like TWRP does during Android Pie.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Edgehead123:
Backups are finnicky...I've had a few successes and a few fails.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] holodude:
I installed the ROM, but is there any gcam versions that work reliably with it - if so which ones? The one I have "works" but many pictures I take with it just "disappear". They never show up in my gallery for some reason. Sometimes a reboot fixes this - the pictures still missing but picture taking ability resumes - but as my primary driver I need the camera to just work.

PS It has been a while since flashing a ROM and so this was quite an ordeal for me: had to use a usb c to micro usb converter, a usb hub, a usb mouse and a usb flash drive to get the OS onto the device to flash once in TWRP
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] vineetbhatia:
These works good for me! It also has night sight and everything I need.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DAE1964:
Make sure the camera app has storage , camera and microphone permissions in system/apps.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] holodude:
Already did. That's why the initial test upon download worked - and stored the image. It seems very random when it works and when it flakes out.

Security updates are released on first monday of every month. Just that update coincided with that date I thought it will have been included.
