I installed Magisk root 21.1 in recovery, not magisk manager.

Fortunately USB debugging was enabled prior to "softbrick" or else it did not matter since I was unable to boot to system to enable it.

Anyway it worked well.

Another try to root :)

I installed Magisk root in recovery again rebooted without problems. Automagically after flashing RAW my phone was back to unlocked state.

The problem I'm facing now is SafetyNet and here Magisk is defeated for the moment and it seems that I will have to lock bootloader. That brings me to a question - how to do that safely?

If I flash the RAW firmware, can I do fastboot lock? Will I ever be able to unlock again?

I actually need to use banking services and NFC pay so SafetyNet failure is king of killer...
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] elmor0:
Before resorting to re-locking the bootloader, try:

- Renaming Magisk manager to something less conspicuous.

- MagiskHide option in Magisk settings

- MagiskHide configs prop (magisk module)

Restart phone after above options, see if safety-net passes.

Here are other guides worth looking @:

https://droidholic.com/fix-cts-profile-mismatch-errors/

https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...ide-for-beginners-intermediate-users-0348101/
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mat9v:
Did all the above.

The phone can't pass basic integrity test in SafetyNet so no way to actually force CTS compliance.

So anyway, I flashed stock firmware (manual OTA) and it restored recovery and kernel to stock Asus ones. Then used AllInOne tool to relock bootloader. Now GooglePay works as expected. Sad to see really that we can't have configurability without "security" forced upon us by Google.

Thanks for your time and help - rather refreshing on XDA lately :)
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] elmor0:
That's strange....

I tried above instructions just now - happy to report that both "basicintegrity" and "ctsProfile" checks passed in SafetyNet .

[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tuxing:
Have ran myself into a big problem. I had installed los 18.1 (after trying los 17.1 and omni.) on my Indian variant rog3. Later wanted to return to los 17.1.so as a first step flashed the stock raw firmware from this thread. Flash went without errors in the terminal. On. Rebooting was stuck on bootloop. Formating data from stock recovery didn't help. Trying to flash los 17.1 or omni also gave bootloop. But los 18.1 booted fine on flashing.

Later tried again to flash .99, .98 ,.58 raw firmware from here . all flashed without errors only to bootloop. Flashing full stock ROM zips from lineageos recovery also resulted in bootloop.

So now my phone only works with los 18.1 installed. Stock or other ROMs results in bootloop.

Please help.

How to put phone into edl mode?
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tuxing:
Tried this from a usb 3 port( as i dont have computer with usb 2 port) , phones starts charging. I had seen this volume press option to enter edl on devices like oneplus 7 pro, on my op7pro usb 3 used to work fine for edl mode.

Have you entered edl mode on rog 3 by this button combination. if not can you try?

Twrp from @Captain_Throwback doesnt have reboot to edl option. any other twrp available for rog 3 with reboot to edl option?
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain_Throwback:
No. You cannot reboot to EDL from TWRP.

I was able to return to stock after flashing persist.img backup back. Seems some files in persist was changed on los installation. Followed this instruction from yidu for the restoration process https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-unofficial-i003-obiwan-lineageos-18-1.4204665/post-84161965 . Aleasto merged my persist backup with yidus 1.img(which can be found 5 post above in the link given) and I flashed the resulting persist.img via adb. Flashing 1.img alone will stop bootloop on stock , but without your persist backup fingerprint may not work.

[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] VerdammteSeele:
After issues with another rom, I flashed the flash all in this. I can't boot to system, it just keeps ending up at the bootloader. When I go to recovery, it's the recovery for the other ROM. I flashed super.img manually and it succeeded, but nothing at all changed. I also erased metadata and userdata, as is in the the flashall.bat, but it's all a no-go. I can get to recovery and fastboot without issue.

Furthermore, 1 command won't run: "fastboot oem get-batvol" and I can't figure out what that command does despite searching for it.

I'm just trying to go back to the stock OS. any suggestions?
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nobodyAtall:
Did you try flashing stock os by using the Asus Flash Tool?
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] VerdammteSeele:

Hi , 3 says ago my phone went to black screen while I was listening to music ( everything was working except screen was black) , usually when this happens I took the power and volume- to reset but this time after doing that my phone won't boot ,. I tried many things but it just didn't work , than I wait till the battery drain out ( I can feel when It was very cold) and I put it in to the character red light blinks for a minutes then stoped again nothing happens even after a few hours , PC won't recognise the device at all

So I decided to use the test point for EDL boot , it worked and I get the unbrick tools success message and even the green led light ,but again won't boot to bootloader in any way , I tried everything ( removing battery socket , get the volume+ and connect USB and etc)

Please if possible someone help me
