Oh, i forgot as i dont use TWRP anymore.

Yes TWRP only works on Android 9.

However you can't install it like in the past time. You can only boot it via fastboot. You need to do this everytime you want to use TWRP. However when i tried it in past times it did not work well afaik, a full backup did not work at all.

So yeah try it with Android 9 first.

But with all the google backups nowadays i dont have the need for a nandroid (twrp backup)...

Especially as you can just reflash the stock image with deleting /data.

Here is the main thread, i think it will be more helpfull than i am :D https://xdaforums.com/pixel-3a/development/twrp-3-3-1-pixel-3a-t3943413
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] mike.s:
The very first thing to do is minimal setup so you can enable developer settings and allow bootloader unlocking. That's a sticky setting, so then you can update, factory reset, etc. before actually unlocking the bootloader and rooting. Especially important if you're US/Verizon (don't put your SIM in until bootloader unlocking is enabled).
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] MrTooPhone:
Thanks. So I read the two rooting threads I referenced above. I have always used TWRP in the past, but seeing it not supported in Android 10, I am considering skipping that. Do you think TWRP will support Android 10 in the future? I am a little nervous making changes without a backup. My plan would be to stick with a rooted stock at first than consider migrating to a custom ROM. Any recommendations are appreciated. Phone will be delivered tomorrow.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] MrTooPhone:
I am not sure what you mean by "google backups nowadays". Is it the availability of stock ROMs?
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] bejunk:
No , I think most people use a TWRP backup because it restores you to a specifiic point with all your apps, user settings and your data in those apps.

Thats why i used it in the past times. Setiing up a phone in the past could be really time consuming and frustrating.

But nowadays, if you use the google backup (in Settings > System > Backup) (and the whatsapp one for messages - thtas the only messenger i use, but every other popular messager has a backup feature now) setting up the phone takes maybe 10 mins when i flash the factory image, it even gets my homescreen layout and my wallpaper back, also my settings. Apps which support that also keep their settings.

In the past i allways had a custom rom, because stock rom sucked. But with the Pixel theres no reason for me to use a custom rom anymore.

About root, i rooted my phone since i first used android, ca. 2010. But now I really dont need it anymore, so i just keep things stock.

---------- Post added at 16:03 ---------- Previous post was at 15:50 ----------

I dont think TWRP will be supported in the futur on A10. Google locked up /system and some other partitions the TWRP team needs to find new solutions but there id not much hope.

Did you buy your phone unlocked? If yes, the worst part you should be worried about is losing you app data from some apps. You cant really brick your phone. In the worst case you just need to flash a factory image.

You should know that rooting your phone will probably break google pay and banking apps. May i ask what did you want use root for?

I dunno, I really like Lineage OS, but it just feels like a downgraded stock rom.. (I used it before all the time on all phones before getting a pixel).

Also, for every update (monthly) you need to patch your boot.img, flash it, and the apply the update. Its some work which i dont think is worth it anymore.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] MrTooPhone:
Thanks for the detailed reply. I am coming from a MotoG3 (rooted stock), a 2015 era phone. So a lot has changed. I really have not seen a mid range phone I really liked, so I jumped on the P3a when I heard the news they were being discontinued.

I use root mainly for Adfree, SD-Maid, and Titanium Backup. I used to use Cerberus until the developer reneged on a lifetime subscription. I don't mess with the system apps much, but I do keep a few apps frozen except for the times when I seldom need them.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] yaconsult:
Magisk is the best way to root your phone as it still passes the SafetyNet check and google pay and banking apps continue to work. There is an excellent thread here on how to do it.

[Guide] How to root the Pixel 3a with or without twrp & take OTA updates once rooted

Every month, I "uninstall" magisk (which really just restores the original boot files) and sideload the latest update, then I install the magisk-patched boot.img and my phone is rooted again.

To be honest, I don't miss twrp at all. adb and fastboot are all that's needed. The backup in android 10 is perfectly sufficient.

This phone is practically impossible to brick. I love my Pixel 3a, except for the one problem I had when the bottom speaker died and I had to have it repaired under warranty at the local ubreakifix in less than an hour.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] bejunk:
Yeah, I had that phone too :D It was pretty good for its time. I even replaced the screen once, but its really complicated on that phone... To your needs:

Adfree: you can setup a custom DNS server (i think it was adguards one) in the settings menu which will block all ads, so no real need anymore for adaway or root for this. Just google a bit.

Titanium backup: I does not work so well is what i heard and like said nowadays most apps backup over Google backup. With Android11 it will get even harder as /data partition is even more protected now. Not really worth it imho.

Froze system apps: Pixel Android is really barebones. The few apps which i dont need (like Google Music/Video PixelBuds app etc) you can just disable them in the settings. This will freeze them, its like uninstalling them, they wont show up at all.

SD Maid is great but only rooting it for using it, is not worth it. You can clear the cache of the apps which hoard a lot of data by yourself. Also, when you uninatll an app, it asks you if you want to delete your userdata as well. The phone takes care of the rest.

Cerberus: If you keep your bootloader locked, when your phone gets stolen, nobody can access your phone. Even if they reflash it, on first boot it will ask to login to the gmail last time set up. Theres no workaroud. Google aslo has a find my device thingy, wher you can track or delete your device remotly.

I would suggest to use your phone unrooted for some time, and if you really need to root it for something, you can still do it.

Welcome to team Pixel, mate! :D

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxdesolate:
hello everyone.

i have tried a few custom roms on my samsung galaxy grand prime sm-g530H and discovered the rom that works best with it for me is this version of resurrection remix - https://xdaforums.com/grand-prime/development/rom-resurrection-remix-n-5-8-3-galaxy-t3596669.

the problem is its preloaded with magisk management. even after uninstalling magisk through twrp, i am not able to run some important indian apps (eg - m-adhaar) because they still detect my phone as rooted. i have already tried unrooting but that didnt work. magisk is not able to hide root from some apps that i need through magisk hide and other methods i have read about on this site either.

can some kind soul please provide me a link of a root-free rom of resurrection remix or regular lineage os? preferably android version 7 and/or 8? thank you in advance.

my phone specs :-

samsung galaxy grand prime

sm-g530h - A.P - XXS2BRLI

CP - XXU2BPB2

MSM - 8916

p.s - i changed the update script in the roms to install from boot without magisk but of course it still installs the magisk management.:cyclops:

also - magisk hide is not working for one particular app- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.gov.uidai.mAadhaarPlus
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feoder:
HI,

These Apps have problem with the custom rom too ( normally) and they are able to recognize the custom rom in both case. It doesn't matter rom is rooted or not.

So You have to hide this thing with Magisk or ... .

Is your magisk passed the safety net test successfully?

If it passed then I can't help you anymore and if not try this one:

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxdesolate:
yes

actuall yes. thats the last rom i tried. but its not stable on my phone. display keeps turning off and phone becomes laggy too. which is why i have mentioned that i need version 7 or 8 n particular.

as for your mention of these apps having problems with custom roms, i am not sure if thats entirely correct or not because i have tried other roms which are fine with the apps but not stable for my phone in particular. so theres my dilemma.

as for magisk test...yes. it passes but hiding is not working in 1 particular app. also my requirement is non magisk and/or non superuser preinstalled rom if i can find one. maybe you could help me with that? as long as the version is 7 or 8.1? coz 9 and 10 are not running properly on my phone ( lags). i am kind of limited in using internet for a couple of days...so its hard to thoroughly search for one. which is why this thread.t hank you for your reply and help :)

I tried a few Oreo based custom roms and this is the only stable rom that I found in internet . Which is a really great rom but it doesn't work for you because Rom will be rooted during the installation by Magisk 16.3.

I don't have any informations about 7, If You have Telegram Account , There is a Grand Prime 530 group. May be you can get a better help there about Android 7.

hi bro.

after a lot of frustration, i tried this one again with bitgapps. turns out that the other versions of gapps were making it lag. its running nicely on my phone. it didnt have magisk installed or supersu for that matter. but some apps still showing that 'you are on a rooted device' or' you are using a custom rom' msg.

so i installed magisk again only to be able to surpass detction for the one particular app i needed and it worked ( yippy!). but other apps, for eg - whatsapp etc still detect the device as custom rom or rooted. so i am still looking for a way around it.

also particular rom shows the msg on startup saying -' there is an internal problem with your device. contact your manufacturer etc. am just ignoring the pop up msg for now.

the rom ( which is android version 10 ) is running surprisingly smooth and fast though.

i wish there was a way to get rid of that msg and unroot the device completely ( doing it through superuser pro and magisk unintsallation - with uninstaller zip and through manager didnt work).

so well, there it is. :)
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feoder:
As do i

I saw it on most Android Pie and Q custom roms which i tried. I think it's something about kernel or Rom. There is a video on YouTube about this issue, He solve it for an Asus phone which didn't work for me.

For the record, did you hide Magisk manager and chose a nick name for it before hide root from other apps with it?
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxdesolate:
yup. i did.

i did hide magisk and gave it another name and checked all apps to be hidden in the hide list.

this video you mention, is it the one where he sets ro.treble to false from true? if yes, then i downloaded build prop but my ro.treble was already set to false by default. i was really hoping that would work. lol. alas! let me know bro.:good:
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feoder:
Yes

I don't know this is useful for you or not . By the way it's an other stable custom rom . ( Oreo based ) with 2 small bug but on safety test, CTS profile result was false for me.

I just realized that my phone model is fortunave3g not fortuna3g . It is a long story that why I made this mistake but since there is no official Twrp for fortunave3g I installed the Pitch Black Recovery for fortunave3g then I flashed a Lineage 17.1 for fortunave3g with it. now everything is fine and I don't see the internal problem's notification any more . Also I should thanks itexpert.120 for helping and his custom recovery.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxdesolate:
should i try pitch black ?

ah, i see. i used to get error 7 on the latest twrp even after editng the updater script. so i switched to twrp version 3.2.x. then there were no errors while flashing any roms. do you think changing the twrp version or doing it again through pitch black recovery might solve the issue for me? also, please tell me if pitch black is as good as twrp in backing up and restoring. coz i have had to do that a lot. zeeshan(itexpert.120) told me to just ignore the error. hehe. but i cant do that!:cyclops: let me know bro.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feoder:
Actually the main problem was with my rom not custom recovery . But I had to install a correct custom recovery for installing the correct custom rom.

Pitch Black has the same features even more. Actually It based on Twrp.

I can't be sure, but if you've seen Error Seven when you using the Twrp 3.4 , then there is a good chance that you've installed a wrong Custom recovery. on the other hand I had camera problem which seems you don't have it.

MDA Vario II on T-Mobile uk WM6 T-Mob standard rom. Have had no probs for over a month, then its started acting a bit weird, i no longer get the flashing amber led after i get a sms/mms or missed call, just the standard green. Amber still works for charging tho but i keep missing sms's and missed calls. Out of interest Bluetooth blue still works too. anyone know if there is a reg entry that deals with this? I know you can turn all the leds off but didn't see anything that looked helpful in the registry in that entry.

TIA, Matt.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pvs:
Not really sure if this will help or not, but if you own SK-Tools, I'd recommend that you do an Advanced Clean (especially for the Notifications Queue), and a Registry Optimization. Sometimes those two modules fix little idiosyncracies on my device.

If this doesn't do the trick, you might want to do a FullBackup->HardReset->FullRestore cycle, and see if that gets your lights going.

HTH,

Sony-MTK Devices​

Hi and welcome to the Sony-MTK Devices development thread.

This is a meeting place for Sony-MTK dev's to meet and exchange information and idea's while developing for various Sony devices that use the MediaTek SoC.

Since MediaTek devices in general are very much alike there is a lot information regarding flashing, source code, leaks, official source code, etc, etc widely available.

The problem comes when we have to deal with Sony's implementation of their own specifics.

Things begin to diverge quite quickly and things can soon become very confusing.

Hopefully in this thread we can begin to bring order to the chaos and confusion for new and experienced dev's alike.​

I will reserve a few threads below for the following.

I was also unable to retrieve the ota downloaded in /data partition(/data/Colouros/Ota), if I could that then using ozip decrypting tool, I could have converted the ozip to zip. What I did at the end I locked the bootloader back again which then wiped everything including twrp. I had to presse volume down button while it showed "Can't boot as the image is destroyed...". Finally the device booted me to the initial set up screen and the stock recovery was restored.

If you flash stock rom zip via twrp, twrp will remain, if you relock the bootloader, the phone will format automatically and stock recovery will come back.
