:highfive:

You can thank my wife for going with the P4 instead of P4XL ;). Now gives me 2 phones to keep up with, although they're basically identical in process. Might as well share with yall over on this board, which seems to get a little less love and attention. But we're definitely lovin the switch to Pixels. Awesome camera too, which is great because we just had our first child 4 months ago and these phones take amazing photos. And this is coming from 2 phones that already had great cameras (HTC U11 and U12+)! I love taking photos when he's sleeping using Night Sight mode. He's so adorable, it comes out so clean, and there's just something about that sleepy ambience :).

Why not update the OTA via Magisk, or is this only for those which devices is not able to download OTA:s?

Currently, I have rooted with Magisk, still waiting for OTA update notification in my device...
[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] redeyss:
Should i restore images in Magisk and/or disable any modules or just let 'er rip?!
[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] i5lee8bit:
[MENTION=2508606]Vantskruv[/MENTION]: FYI, you won't get the OTA update notification because you're modified right now. You can restore the boot image in Magisk first and wait for the OTA notification (what you're thinking of is something like this: https://xdaforums.com/pixel-4-xl/how-to/guide-update-retain-root-t4003839). But from what I understand, it's pretty hit or miss. Apparently it's hit or miss even on complete bone stock anyway lol. The method I outlined just works nice and reliably even when rooted and modded.

[MENTION=3351770]redeyss[/MENTION]: Restoring the stock boot image in Magisk Manager is similar to the method linked above, and then taking the OTA the normal way. But if you flashed a custom kernel, keep it mind it won't restore the dtbo partition (not sure if it's necessary with that method tbh). You shouldn't need to restore images in Magisk, nor diable any modules. When you flash the factory April boot and dtbo images, it's doing the same thing as restoring the images through Magisk (plus dtbo). Just let er rip, and if you have any issues, you can always flash the new unmodified factory boot image, which will essentially disable Magisk, and then work from there. It's a very safe method. =)

edit: also in the event of bootloop, this is a great thread to read and understand: https://xdaforums.com/pixel-4/how-to/magisk-modules-disabler-booting-magisk-t3991739
[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vantskruv:
Thank you [MENTION=321827]i5lee8bit[/MENTION] for your answer. Luckily I have restrained myself yesterday to update, thought I where in the Pixel 4XL thread, while this is for the Pixel 4. :eek::laugh:

I am just curious, do any of you expert guys/girls know why this is happening, that OTA updates is not pushed on rooted phones?

Do Google have algorithms that temporarily bans systems which is rooted?

Or is it so simple that some type of fingerprint is changed when rooted, so Google update services does not recognise the device, and not pushing OTA:s?

Sorry for the questions, no need to answer them. It was a long time ago I rooted Android:s, and I have forgot many things. :)

I think I will try to manually update everything, even though there are more steps included, just to learn how to do it. :)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZY8qiz2SZ0
[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] i5lee8bit:
No worries, the process for the 4XL is the exact same, but good catch; you definitely need to use the correct files for the device. I actually posted a similar thread with the relevant 4XL files over on that forum.

Not sure exactly the mechanism used to prevent the normal OTA, but probably just checks for a modified boot partition. In any case, the normal factory OTA if I understand correctly relies in part on factory recovery commands at some point, and a modified boot partition won't be able to use them. In fact, try booting to recovery with the modified boot partition flashed and you'll notice it can't load recovery. I may be wrong about the exact reason though. But think about it: even if we had TWRP, the factory OTA mechanism can't make use of it. Even if the OTA popped up while rooted, it probably wouldn't be able to do it, or worse, cause a failure and corruption. I would dare say we're fortunate they prevent factory OTA when running modified.

Anyway, there are a lot of complicated guides out there, and that's why I wanted to share my method. I didn't need to do any further research and it's very intuitively sound. Steps 2+3 essentially restore stock boot and therefore recovery (and dtbo), the rest pretty much follows a standard OTA sideload, and then it's structured in such a way that you're flashing the new Magisk patched boot image before even starting the phone back up. Making it a seamless, keep-root easy upgrade. ;)
[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] jbehlend:
Wow ..... what an easy, elegant way to get my Coral device updated while keeping root. Followed the OP process, but used these commands instead to get the June 2020 security update:

- fastboot flash boot coral-qq3a.200605.001-factory-boot.img

- fastboot flash dtbo coral-qq3a.200605.001-factory-dtbo.img

- adb sideload coral-ota-qq3a.200605.001-3b5bb1bd.zip

- fastboot flash boot coral-qq3a.200605.001-magisk_patched-20.4.img

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] CharmedWhovian:
So I have the Galaxy S9 plus, sprint edition. I flashed it with the U1 firmware. Then paid to have it network unlocked. It was reading every SIM card, but sprint & boost (bcuz to get are n not compatible with the unlocked SO/S9+.

So, I decided to switch to either Verizon or AT&T. Verizon won it due to the year long Subscription. Anyway before I went to Verizon. Every SIM card I placed in the card worked no problem. Well, Verizon activated the phone told me the steps to do. I powered off the device. Like I was told & placed the new sim card in.

When I booted up my device it, rebooted with the "New Network provider Sim inserted" & did so. It came on with service. Then rebooted again & came back on with service... Yet again. Then out of nowhere it rebooted, but this time it came on with it any signal bars. Saying, the folowing messages "Searching For Service", "No Network Connection" and "Emergency Calls Only".

I have did all the trouble shooting that I have came across. Including using the Chimera Tool to try & fix the network connection. But it repeatedly failed. I took it to UbreakIFix & they said the phone's fine. That it has to be Verizon's side with the problem. Can anyone help me fix this issue.

I have placed other Sim cards into the device & they work but not one Verizon Sim will.

All,

Has anyone seen this error with their MDA and WM5? ("wave output: device error). It is a message I received when I tried to play an MP3 using TCPMP.

There is no sound coming out of the device whatsoever, whether it is mp3s, Mundu Radio, notification when someone calls, etc. I am able to hear a caller when in conversation though. Originally I thought it may have been related to the well-know issue with Opera 9.5 beta but now am not that sure as the MDA stopped producing any sounds a day or so prior to my installation (and eventual uninstall) of Opera 9.5 beta...any ideas?

I have performed hard and soft resets, taking out the battery, etc. but to no avail.

I have also posted this question on HowardForums so apologies in advance if you have seen this already...

Thanks!

Info how to root and choose a ROM for Mi Pad 4.

Good Rom with active developer:

https://xdaforums.com/mi-pad-4/development/rom-pixel-experience-t4095793/

Mi Pad 4 forum

There is an XDA app (sideload .apk) with the Xposed framework.. You need to be rooted to install this framework.

Q: Can you use the Xposed framework with a custom ROM .... or is Xposed a custom ROM. Do some ROMS and not others support the Xposed framework ?

Consider disabling Bluetooth for better battery.

It depends on your phone and the OS ROM it's running, but I think most normal, non-potato phones are on arm64-v8a these days. armeabi is for super-old devices, armeabi-v7a is for 32-bit devices, arm64-v8a is for 64-bit devices.

v8a devices can run v7a apks.

[IMG="Kali NetHunter"]https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/nethunter/build-scripts/kali-nethunter-project/-/raw/master/images/nethunter-git-logo.png[/IMG]

Call for all kernel devs with a Sony Z5 Compact who would like to help out building an official NetHunter kernel for that device.

I've started on a NetHunter kernel with support for HID keyboard and mouse, injection, nexmon, & rtl8812au but the HID patch seems to cause a bootloop (might be something else though). I don't have that device and the person requesting it doesn't have a computer.

I've used the NetHunter kernel-builder:

https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/nethunter/build-scripts/kali-nethunter-kernel

with this local.config:

https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/nethun....config.examples/local.config.example.suzuran

and with these kernel sources:

https://github.com/Re4son/android_kernel_sony_msm8994/tree/nethunter-14.1

following this guide:

https://www.kali.org/docs/nethunter/nethunter-kernel-1-patching/

We need someone that can rollback our commits and find the one that caused the bootloop (maybe the switch from perf to interactive?) and help fixing the offending commit.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks heaps,

Re4son
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Re4son:
Just received feedback from the person claiming that it was the HID patch which caused the bootloop; he didn't actually test it and just assumed that the issues were caused by that patch.

I'm pretty sure that it wasn't that patch. This bit of info might open the door to kernel hackers that don't want to play with USB drivers ;)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] &(*):
If I remember correctly I applied the nexmon patch with nethunter and that's when I experienced problems; more likely that, if the problem isn't fixed yet. BTW, is this Nethunter running a 4.14 kernel in a chroot shell or is this an actual patch to the existing boot.img for 14.1? I can modify the commit, but am unsure how to build an install.(Android SDK)?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] &(*):
Re4son,

Looking at the kernel builder source ( https://github.com/Re4son/android_kernel_sony_msm8994 ) indicates this is dedicated to certain build versions, am I mistaken ? I tried installing this through the .zip installer for 7.1.2 and notice in prompt that patching the boot fails, but the rest installs. I managed to patch the boot image (https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/nethun...ethunter-devices/-/tree/master/nougat/suzuran) , but am unsure if ramdisk needs other libraries as well or if the kernel does (nexmon-fw & system)? Mainly trying to accomplish manually patching of the kernel and installing the rest with the installer if possible. Please advise as to the proper method to get everything in it's right path for Nethunter to be running correctly.

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] sdspieg:
Does anybody know whether the phone actually charges in fastboot mode or in erecovery mode? At least in TWRP or in normal system mode, we can see that it actually charges. In fastboot we don't see anything; and in eRecovery, we do see a battery icon on top, but it doesn't seem to actually charge. Or if it does - it does at a glacial pace.

Here's why I'm asking. For whatever reasons, my device currently does not allow me to boot normally, to do a factory reset, to flash TWRP (my bootloader is unlocked). Anything I try to do ends up in 'error mode' or in erecovery mode. I also do not seem to be able to shutdown my phone to just charge it, as it always automatically starts up again. I can still start in fastboot mode, but I have very little battery power left.

I am hopeful that the new hisuiteproxy + hisuite solution may allow me to unbrick my soft-bricked phone. But before I do that, I would like to make sure I have enough juice in the phone not to get in trouble. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] sdspieg:
UPDATE - the only way I have found to make my phone charge, is from the eRecovery screen. And yes, it sure is 'glacial', when compared to 'normal' charging, which only takes a few hours to charge 100%. I have now had my phone plugged in (NOT to a PC, but directly to the power mains) on eRecovery for about 9 hours, and the phone is charged about one third. Terrible, but better than nothing. I'll let it charge for another 10 hours or so, and will then try the hisuiteproxy/hisuite solution. But I'd still very much appreciate it, if somebody could pitch in! Thanks!

UPDATE 2 - a few hours later. The phone is still in eRecovery. An it looks more like 75% charged. So yes, this mode seems to be a LOT slower, but it still charges!

It does charge in fastboot mode, only very very slowly.
[General Topics] m.schmidler:
What I mean is a general problem of this forum: There loads of good tools, ROMs, tweaks etc but most of you don´t spend enough time to explain what is what.

If you provide such a huge mass of information like in this forum its just impossible for new users to sort out whats good, whats bad, whats new, what can I use.....And DO NOT tell me to use the search-function

For example: I come to the Polaris upgrading thread, I´m looking for a fast ROM. Actually I use bepe 0.67, but I wanna try some others. So lets have a look...Hmm, "Vega R3", "Diamond R4", "PhamQuang"..you see, lots of ROMs.

BUT: I want to know which language it is (I think its something like WWE...what is WWE?? just a joke, I know what it means..), is radio included (I normally expect that..), what have I to watch out for when flashing it & how can I flash it (this is often included, but again, very slangy explained) etc etc etc !

In other words: Many infos are provided. But questions and answers from the rest od the thread could be added to the first/second/third post so people dont have to search for hours (yes, i tried for hours !!!!)

What to do ??

There should be some sort of template for everyone posting a new tool, ROM etc.

Must-haves of a post:

** What is it? What can I do with it? What do I need??

** What language is it

** changelog (in 90% cases included)

** links for good explanations (what is... a ROM, radio, hard-spl, WWE etc)

!!!!! Please, just make one standard thread for such infos; one single, long post, explaining "xda-developers"-language

** Links to other websites/downloads that are useful

Such questions should be summarized for each device and PLEASE write in plain english language, for everybody around the world !

And please, dont post links to threads which arent up to date or are not as userfriendly as they should be!

Another suggestion:

Give me the infos I HAVE to know at ONE GLANCE. As I said, language, radio included, installation etc..

I know, what you are thinking right now: We already did this and much more than that. BUT, once again, this is just too less for n00bs like me.

And imagine, 50% less people you have to tell to use the search because you just make a understandable download-post/site with all necessary information...wouldn´t that be nice ???

The wiki is the place to go if you have questions. Are you saying you expect all the great cookers here to further spend more personal time to give you detailed step-by-step instructions on what to do because you feel searching is too much of a hassle for you? There are plenty of "how-to" guides floating around. Each cooker may give instructions, but I don't think it's their job to educate you how on how to do it, if you don't know how, maybe you shouldn't do it. It really doesn't make much sense to have instructions included in EVERY single ROM thread.

Im saying what you dont want me to say m.schmidler, use search...

God there are written SO FRICKEN many tutorials, we have been gathering links, in the threads in the wiki.

Dont we spend enough time cooking, developing etc? Should we start a school also? Who is gonna pay the teachers? you?

No, im not gonna spend more time making it easy on you, there are so much info, so much threads to help new guys (noobs) that im damn amazed that you cant figure it out.

If you cant figure out how to find stuff on XDA, then you really should sit down and think just for a sec.

Try HTC support, or MS support. Try see how helpfull they are, how they explain every thing you think you need to know.

Get a grip on reality man..either that or you and the rest of they guys demanding the things you do can start paying us by the hours we spend on making your device better.

And hey, yea, I know, my roms, and other cooks roms has bugs, flaws, this and that missing wich you deperatly need or w/e. But you know what, here is an idea:

Go back to using stock roms (here is a little help, just to show that I CAN be nice too:

Stock ROM=A operating system provided with the phone you have, in this case windows mobile, and it is not modded, altered or changed in any way. But hey, maybe that was to hard to understand too??)

Im sure the forum could be better, but making posts like that..

let me sum this up in a few words:

Respect the time we use on this, if not you will see that many of the beloved developers here just leave..and btw...thats happening all over the forum because of **** like this :mad:

You know, this IS a developers forum. There is kind of the understanding that when you see certain keywords like ROM, .NET, C++, winlibs, MSDQ, SQL, etc...that you aleady know what it is and do not need explaining.

If every developer explained everything their releases could do, down to the finest detail, they wouldnt have any time to develop, they would just be posting all day long. I don't think anything more than one or two lines (which is the case now), is needed for a good explanation.

This forum is perfect for my needs, and since it IS a developer's forum, you cannot expect it to be setup like a regular forum for non-techies. I mean, you don't see any soccer moms on here...no offense to the small minority of soccer moms who develop, lol ;)
