[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Yeah, there were a couple of scenarios of unlocked bootloader but not root. In each case, the people seems to have been brainwashed that "root" was potentially evil and they didn't understand it's just like being admin of your own PC vs using your employer's computer that you don't own. Today's smartphones are merely powerful handheld computers which can also make phone calls. Yes, I will be admin of my own computer if possible.

These were the most common situations discussed:

1) Bootloader unlock, install TWRP, root on stock firmware to make changes like enable DTS 3D Surround Sound, permanently debloat "unnecessary" files (almost never a good idea with this particular phone), then quickly remove the powerful, "evil" root before it morally corrupts the phone. But keep the changes it allowed.

2) Bootloader unlock, install TWRP, root to install some magical custom ROM with more features and options. Then quickly remove the powerful, "evil" root. But keep the custom ROM because it was "better" than stock OS. I pointed out that without root, they couldn't make and restore TWRP backups -- thus negating one of the reasons for having custom recovery. Some even asked if they could go back to useless stock recovery, maybe re-lock bootloader but still keep the custom ROM. :rolleyes:

Every time I tried to question why they didn't want to keep root, they would say they just didn't but were adamant they did NOT want active root on their phones. But wouldn't explain further. Like they didn't understand having ROOT is a mental philosophy, not a weapon. You will always be RENTING your phone, not OWNING your phone unless you are the admin. Unless you have root.

And in each one of those cases, they would still have unlocked bootloader -- NOT pass Safety Net -- and be accused of having root, while not actually having it. There are some apps that will penalize you if they think you are rooted. Do you own your phone or do they? So you have to hide the root with Magisk.

Having root to do something, then giving it up is like driving a nice car to a lakeside picnic, getting out and flinging the keys into the water. What? You aren't going to want to go home? Or somewhere else at any point in time? Grocery store, home, work... You need to keep those keys.

I pointed out many apps like Titanium Backup require root privileges. I have an Auto Restart app that reboots my phone daily right before I wake up, so I have a fresh phone. Requires root privileges. So, does ClockSync, Recovery Reboot, Root Explorer, Shortcut Master, Wifi Password Viewer, Build Prop Editor, Advanced Power Menu... Root is a awesome tool, not an evil weapon.

When our phones become too locked down I can't root my phone, I will be very sad. Because I will no longer really own my phone.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
Good points there. As always!

I agree about the ability to root. I'll go a step further and argue (as I have before somewhere on XDA) that root should be an official AOSP feature from Google, to be toggled in fastboot. It would make our phones MORE safe, NOT less, since the dev community would have a shared interest in security and in finding and closing vulnerabilities, instead of hoarding them. We could all spend our time constructively instead of having to defeat security measures and jumping hoops to avoid the pitfalls created by OEMs and carriers.

The real risk are apps that gain root access stealthily (which they'll do regardless of whether you are rooted) not ones that request it formally (triggering a prompt and must be granted by the user).

That said, knowing that I CAN root when I want, is enough to satisfy my urge for freedom. Just like I don't run everything as Administrator on my PC, only occasionally when I need elevated permissions.

So I am comfortable advising people NOT to root until they actually need it. Which may be never: On earlier Android phones, we needed custom ROMs or Exposed modules to fill in big gaps in the OS. V30 stock Oreo and Pie are very complete and efficient ROMs. Sure, I recommend a few tweaks and removing a few trackers and bloatware. But those can be done either with or without root.

So while my main V30 is indeed rooted, I actually don't use it for anything :o
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Only my V30 phone is rooted. My wife's, mother's, sister's, other family and friends V30/V30+ (10 or 11 total) are not.

I used to do that with other phones for people, even installing Custom ROMs. But I don't have time to maintain/update all those.

So, only mine. I decided they don't "need" it. But I do. ;)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] QkTreasures:
Can I just do a over the air update on the v 30?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Yes. I just assumed since you were still on inferior Nougat -- vs last Oreo or Pie, that something was preventing your OTA updates from working right.

In which case you would need LG Bridge or LGUP to update firmware.

I was just badly informed, I thought installing TWRP would mean a total wipe, but it didn't.

So thanks man, this was indeed very easy and I'm properly rooted now!

I got into a bootloop before all this, because I chose the 'after OTA' option in Magisk. Not sure what went wrong there but I couldn't revert back to normal and had to do a total refresh.

[Magisk] mGforCe:
Hello Fellow Users,

Let me start with the fact that I have zero experience of making flash modules (TWRP/Magisk) and am just dabbling around.

Some background, I found a TWRP flash zip file which makes changes to vendor partition of Redmi Note 7 Pro (violet) running MIUI OS (Android Q) - this is a sound mod.

Now, with TWRP file the issue is that if it doesn't work or has any issues, we need to dirty flash ROM all times (or atleast dirty flash the vendor partition). There is no one-click remove option.

Hence I thought why can't the same be done via Magisk systemless and dabbled around a bit. Below is my experience of the last 2 days.

Now, coming to the original TWRP file - it copies/replaces three folders with included files to vendor partition. Path of folders is following

/vendor/etc
/vendor/lib/soundfx
/vendor/lib64/soundfx

These 3 folders and similarly named files within them already exist by default in the phone prior to flashing.

Now basis the Magisk guides I saw around and wiki from [MENTION=6037748]Zackptg5[/MENTION] I did the following changes to the default template:

1) Edited customize.sh to define folders to be replaced

REPLACE="
/vendor/etc
/vendor/lib/soundfx
/vendor/lib64/soundfx"

2) Since Magisk will always look for the vendor under the system folder and so I moved the vendor folder under system folder

Basis same, created attached module and flashed and it installed.

But then three queries in my mind:

1) Are the new files actually replaced systemless and in-use? My concerns as don't see any intended change in sound

2) Is there a way to check if new files are being used o available to system?

3) Is this method of putting replace under customize.sh file the way out? While studying some similar modules making changes to vendor partition, I found that they have default (no change) customize.sh but rather make changes to common/post-fs-data.sh etc

So, looking forward to feedback from users experienced in making Magisk module. Thanks in advance for your time and efforts!

PS: attached is the WIP module which I wrote and also got installed in Magisk Manager

TLDR: How to make a Magisk Module using TWRP files to ensure systemless modification of folder/files in the vendor partition
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
1 - The REPLACE variable is used to replace the directories you specify with

empty

folders, not with what you want to add systemlessly. You might want to follow the advice written in the customize.sh file and read the documentation (@topjohnwu has everything explained there):

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

Edit: If you do want to first "remove" (systemlessly, of course) everything in those folders, then keep them in the REPLACE variable. I just realised that it's a little unclear if that's what you want to do or not...

2 - That's the correct procedure. If all you want to do is to add or replace some files to your device, the only thing you need is to put those files in the /system directory of your module. That's it. The customize.sh file is used if you want to customise the installation logic of your module (not necessary if you're just adding files to your device) and post-fs-data.sh and service.sh are boot scripts to run code at boot (again not necessary if you're just adding files systemlessly to your device, see the linked docs for details).

Right now your module isn't adding anything, since the directories in the module's system folder are all empty. There's nothing to add. All it does is to replace those directories with empty ones (see #1 above). I'd say that using MMT is way overkill for such a simple module...

One you've installed a module Magisk will mount that modules files over your existing ones at boot. If the file under the real system path matches the one found in the module directory (under /data/adb/modules) everything is working as it should.
[Magisk] mGforCe:
[MENTION=4667597]Didgeridoohan[/MENTION] Thanks for taking our time to give detailed reply and guidance

Finally was able to successfully install the module (named AudioEngine) and I do see files under /data/adb/modules but I have the following issue:

All these new files are under:

/data/adb/modules/AudioEngine

/system/vendor

folder and not under

/data/adb/modules/AudioEngine

/vendor

folder

Is that ok? If yes, why do we see /data/adb/modules/AudioEngine/vendor separately too?

Attached is final module as well as the screenshot of /data/adb/modules/AudioEngine/ as seen in file manager.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
The /vendor folder is a symlink to /system/vendor, created by Magisk. That's just how Magisk works...

From your screenshot it looks like things are working as they should.

That uninstall script looks unnecessary though. The module isn't placing or altering anything outside the module folder, so when uninstalled there won't be any leftovers anyway.
[Magisk] dead0:
im also try to do something similar with some audio libs in vendor partition for poco f2 with miui12 however if i add any libs to go into vendor/lib, for some strange reason, i lose wifi. theres no issues if vendor/lib/soundfx or vendor/lib64 is occupied with files just the lib directory only. the actual files that are going into lib are not replacing anything but are new files
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] casacristo:
I bought a second hand Redmi 5 Plus (vince) phone and although it reads sim cards, it does not connect to any mobile network

I am conversant with fastboot and adb command line commands.

Ideally I would like to unlock the bootloader to flash custom roms, but if that is not possible to root the phone

Any ideas?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] drnightshadow:
Use MI Unlock tool (official) to unlock bootloader. Search on MI FORUM for help and more info.

You can also find links on XDA forum (use search).

Good luck and stay safe.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] casacristo:
yes, but that requires you pop a sim card in with data connection on and as this phone has the antena broken it can't connect to any mobile network (only to wifi)

Not work "Moto Gestures" in Pixel Experience ROM

I have detected another error and in the System section in Settings, the "Moto Gestures" option does not work. When entering Moto Gestures it says it has stopped working, check it next update!
[Motorola One ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] GitDaisy:
Sorry for troubles but it's claimed as working, im using it. make sure you have latest stock firmware before flashing, this bug could occur when you are dirty flashing to same slot, clean flash to fix this. for dirty flashing you could try flashing to opposite slot. I won't share incremental OTA's because of it's problems with applying due to TWRP slot issue's (that's why you need to do this via fastboot). Meanwhile new update was released and WIFI speed issue has been decreased or even eliminated. it's date is 20200722. Already Uploaded.

I havn't started quickGPS before, but yes, i did tick the use GPS button. It said searching for satelites in a small blue box at the top of the screen and then that disappeared.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] owz206:
Try the quick gps application first,it will help by getting the latest satelite information.

What version rom are you using.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] boch501:
Errrm, bit of a noob to the whole winmo scene, diamond is my first and i ony got that about a week ago....

How do you find out the rom version?

Also, another seperate question... is it worth updating ROM? I've been to the other forum and heard names like Bepe and stuff, but it doesnt mean anything...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] GeckoDev:
Start > Settings > System tab > Device Information. Your ROM version is in there. If you have 1.35 or 1.37, then YES it is definitely worth updating. :D Whether you use a stock ROM or a cooked rom (like Bepe) is up to you.

I'm following this thread because I've had similar problems with GPS, even though I've already followed every advice I found when searching. It's not a high priority for me though. :) Anyway, I've played with both the Windows and Google GPS settings, every combination thereof, and everything else I can think of, but no real luck. At ONE point it was working, but then I flashed another ROM and never got it going again. :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] boch501:
i got a ROM: 1.37.405.1

Radio 1.00.25.03

which means????
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] GeckoDev:
I had it working using the same ROM/radio versions as yours, AND I JUST GOT IT WORKING AGAIN! :D I know I tried this unsuccessfully since flashing 1.93, but this time it worked...

Leave the Windows GPS settings at default. In Google Maps GPS settings, set it manually to COM4 and 19200. Go outside, and tap Use GPS. It will say "initializing" for a while (give it time), and get a fix. After the first time it's slightly faster, but still seems pretty damn slow.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] boch501:
thanks, will try those settings tomorrow when it's slightly less cold, dark and rainy outside

:) cheers
