How can I switch from Beta 18 to 10.3.5 for 7 pro by keeping root and TWRP?

I dont deinstall Magisk or any modules before doing it. So far no complications.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ghost323:
Cool, thx :)
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] djsubterrain:
Just the usual process :

Ensure you have all files on storage before you start

Reboot to TWRP

Flash the FULL rom package

Immediately (without reboot) flash TWRP again

Reboot back into TWRP recovery

Flash Magisk

Reboot back into recovery

Clear cache because you're moving between release rings

Reboot into System

If you notice root missing then reboot back into recovery and flash Magisk again as you might be on the other slot.

I have this as an emergency backup with a USB-C to USB-B converter to transfer from PC.

The fix is deleting your active alarms

and adding them back.

Ring volume becomes low.

The fix is new setting RAISE TO LOWER RINGTONE.

Speaking of experience, I can tell one module that will for sure give you problems if you don't remove and reinstall after (note: I don't mean deactivate and reactivate - I really mean remove and install again) which is the OOS call recording enabler.

If you don't disable it, you will be stuck in a boot loop and you need to wipe Magisk.

If you disable it and enable again right at the end of process, you will get boot but no SIM access (i.e. No mobile data or telephony).

You need to uninstall the module and install again for the SIM to be recognized again.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Mohitash:
--Copy the file in sd card

--Go to settings-system update- local upgrade, select that file and install it- DONT REBOOT

--Now go to magisk and go to modules- search twrp and select/install twrp a/b script module-DONT REBOOT

--Now go to main page of magisk and install magisk AND SELECT install to inactive slot

--After install-reboot

Everything is fine. You just updated to 10.3.5 with root and twrp.
[Huawei P40 Questions & Answers] awojtas:
Hi all,

I'm looking to change from my P30 Pro - love the phone, but I dropped my belt on the screen [emoji22] and they're expensive to fix. Insurance paid me out luckily, debating whether I buy a P40 as they're really cheap now, or get the P30 Pro fixed.

The P30 Pro main camera gives weird yellow hues especially when capturing in raw and I'm hopeful the p40 is improved. Plus I think the 5x zoom is a gimmick, 2x or 3x is more usable in my view.

I'm wondering what the real limitations of daily use with a P40 is if you've loaded gms onto it.

- Can you update apps automatically from the play store?

- Does uber work once you have gms loaded?

- Does Netflix play in HD? (not so fussed about hdr)

- Do you have to re-apply gms fixes regularly or is that only needed when there's a Huawei firmware update?

- Does chromecast work?

I've read a bunch of forums but still not totally clear on what the current state is.

Thanks all, appreciate any advice!

We do need a custom firmware, otherwise forget about it, you may install some apps but you will always find bugs on apps that wont coop that great with some stuff that google have and needs adaptation to run on huawei phones, it really sucks we are doomed, the smartphones are extremely fast, the fastest i ever had, although, i was not able to use netflix, tinder and some others without serious bugs, our only hope is a custom firmware for the p40 family.

I've had a P30 pro but I returned it because of the size and the dim screen. Got a P40 and could not be happier. All apps work except netflix, no need to reapply anything, updates are automatic.
[Huawei P40 Questions & Answers] peety02:
Considering the fact that in stock version there are no Google services at all, you need to find yourself using Huawei´s App Gallery. Some basic apps like Whatsapp etc are available through it. In other cases it refers to "PetalSearch" which directs you to (somewhat shady) apk-sites. Even if you get another store running on it like F-Droid or APKpure, some apps may be found and installed, but running them usually comes with notifications about missing google services, hence the app would not work properly, or at all...

I got this phone for the same reason (price & performance). Unfortunately due to the lack of integration and usuability, i am deemed to wait for a better image to put on the phone.

(I came across "OpenKirin"-Project and they seem to be active in XDA as well. Hope they´re able to look into this)
[Huawei P40 Questions & Answers] CrisR82:
This is definitely exaggerating a bit.

Auto-updating apps from Google Play doesn't work, yes, but apps being broken - not really, at least from everything I've seen the only issue is notifications (on my side, Skype, Discord, Duo Authenticator, GMail's own app** and a banking app) however the apps themselves still work. What most people use works just fine without Google's stuff, though getting APKpure store is a good recommendation, that will cover pretty much everything (that is free) and missing in AppGallery.

Tinder definitely works fine from what I've seen, Netflix doesn't work at all due to some API/DRM certification stuff.

**using Outlook or the built-in email app fixes that

Hello, since a manual firmware update from Sammobile for my SM-G9860, I have not received any more security updates. Likewise, information on the firmware is no longer available?

I have loaded the following firmware

https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...e/SM-G9860/CHC/download/G9860ZCU2BTH6/364050/

Security patch level is August 1, 2020

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] mraeryceos:
Why does the stylus need any pressure at all to register a click? Why doesn't it work by just touching the screen?

https://www.sammobile.com/2018/09/03/galaxy-note-9-touch-sensitivity-setting-adjustment
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] koragg97:
If you apply pressure your pen or marker or whatever becomes wider just as it would in real life. If you only touch the screen it's a thin line.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] mraeryceos:
Kudos if you are an artist. I just want a pointing device, and one that "clicks" on objects. It's hard enough having to hold my phone in the air, and carefully aim the stylus. because the user interface is no longer gingerbread and you have desktop like menus without an actual desktop operating system. Retardedness prevailed as Android felt pressured to mimic iOS.

Having to click hard slows me down, or makes me slide off target. I can touch the screen with precision, but if I have to apply pressure the precision is lost. So, I don't want this nifty feature of ooh ahh, it works as well as the best stylus for an artist. I could care less. In fact, I hate this nifty feature and want to turn it off.

Can you tell I'm grumpy?

Got it. Thanks.

The implementation is very mediocre. Its just like a sideshow of all pictures.

I am looking at what Google photos does. Make stories and says last year this time etc. No point in just shuffling all thousands of pictures which even includes page pictures etc.

Even though I am loving the note 20 ultra after using iPhone for 1p years, same company makes way better apps for iOS. After 10 years of widgets there are just very basic widgets by the apps themselves.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] jsusang:
Hi, @enjoylife1788

I use a previous version of Samsung Picture Frame Widget (Version 1.8.01.6) because it has more options.

Nova Launcher allows resizing of widgets.

The Samsung Gallery app will create stories. It also has Labs which will appear when you click several times on the version in "About app."

I am using Simple Gallery Pro (Simple Mobile Tools) on N20U. It may have a widget, but since I have it installed on external storage the widget does not appear in the widgets list.

Login to your Google account and click the star icon in the top left corner. That's it. The more starred a issue is in Google's issue tracker, the greater likelihood it will be fixed, if it can be.

Don't just post on XDA saying you have the issue too. Doing the above contributes to a possible solution being developed.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] PDADoc:
So I got the AT&T Variant of this tablet, and it works fine. But recently I decided to implement Call & Text on Other Devices to receive and answer texts from my Note 10+. I got the Call & Text feature installed and activated on both devices, but that's where the fun starts.

I disabled anything that has to do with AT&T (Number Sync, etc) but it seems the dialer is hard-wired to that numbersync app and won't let me change the default. Now when I launch the app, it crashes right away. Tried disabling it and installing Samsung Phone from apkmirror, but the install always fails, as does Samsung Messages.

So is there a way to install these two things to get them working, or has AT&T basically screwed this tablet over in favor of their services?

I also had trouble using WLAN. In the end it seems, that the wlan connection was not the preferred routing, and nearly all data still flowed over the mobile connection. When using WLAN I always have to terminate any existing mobile data connections (Tap on the icons on the top, then on the data connection-type icon, e.g. stylized G for GPRS and then disconnect in the pop-up).

The weird thing is, that not all data went over mobile. DNS-Requests where sent over WLAN, but connections to webservers where routed over the mobile connection. Seems to me like a bug, as you would normally expect that all traffic is routed over the wlan once a connection is up an running.

This guide is now obsolete. Please check my new guide. It has a custom recovery for this device as well as a rooting guide. Refer to this guide only for installing adb and unlocking bootloader.

This rooting guide is for the Lenovo Tab M10

X505X

only.

I plan to work on a custom recovery for this tab as well and probably a custom rom in the future.

So please consider donating so that I can keep up the work. ;)

Donations

Google Pay

This will work only on the version "TB-X505X_S001037_200718_ROW". Check it in the Settings > System > About Tablet > Build Number. If it is the newer "X505X_S001038_200819_ROW", do a factory reset and make sure it is the "TB-X505X_S001037_200718_ROW" before proceeding.

Once a custom recovery is made, OTA updates can be applied without losing root. So do not update the tablet until a custom recovery is developed for the device. I plan to develop a custom recovery for it as soon as possible, so please support me.:o

Anything that goes wrong in this tutorial is not my responsibilty. Proceed at your own risk.

Downloads

patched_boot.img

Step 1. ADB and Fastboot Installation [If adb and fastboot are already installed, skip to Step 2]

1. Download the platform tools for your OS from this link.

2. Extract the zip file and place the contents in a folder "platform-tools".

3. To confirm if adb is working, open a command prompt "platform-tools" and run the following command.

adb version

If it returns the adb version, its done.

Step 2. Unlocking Bootloader

We have to unlock the bootloader inorder to root the device.

Warning: Unlocking bootloader wipes data on the device. It is recommended to backup your data. Proceed at your own risk.

1. Now in the tab, goto Settings > System > About Tablet. Multiple tap the "Build Number" till the developer options are enabled.

2. Goto the developer options and turn on the "OEM unlocking".​

3. Power off the device.

4. Turn it on by holding Power Button + Volume Down. Once the screen turns on. leave the power button but continue holding the Volume Down button until the fastboot mode is shown.

5. Now open a command prompt in "platform-tools" and now run the following command:

fastboot oem unlock-go

Your Bootloader is now succesfully unlocked.​

Step 3. Rooting

Now to root the tab, download the "patched_boot.img" from the top of this post. Copy the file to the "platform-tools" folder.

Make sure the tab is still in the fastboot mode. Otherwise go back into the fastboot mode as instructed before.

Now run the following command:

fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img

Congratulations, you have rooted your tab.:highfive:

To complete the process, run the following command.

fastboot reboot

Once the tab turns on, goto this link and download the latest version of Magisk apk and install it. It is required to control the root privileges for other apps.​

That's all. You now have a rooted tab.:victory:

If this helped you, hit the thanks button.:D

And keep tuned for new stuff that are to come for this device.:cool:
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Yahoo Mike:
Thanks for this thread for the TB-X505X.

Have a look at this post for a TWRP that works with the TB-X505F. It might work for the TB-X505X, provided the X505X uses the SDA429 soc. That version of TWRP is unofficial and does not decrypt the data partition.

If the X505F version of TWRP works for you, then you won't need to patch the boot image - you can just install the Magisk update.zip in TWRP. This saves you from having to release a new patched boot image every time there's an OTA.

With the TB-X505F/L, TB-X605F/L and TB-X705F/L we've found that you need to uninstall Magisk to apply OTAs. This is because Lenovo's OTA updater scripts verify you have unmodified boot, system, vendor and firmware partitions. So make sure you backup these partitions as stock.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Shamil Niyas:
I gave a look at the TWRP image. Unfortunately, X505X does not boot into the recovery image. It would have been great if it worked. I guess it is because of the different processor, as you mentioned.

It is the same for X505X as well. OTA cannot be applied without uninstalling Magisk. So I guess OTAs are a no-go until a custom recovery is developed. The latest update is also just a boot image patch. So there is no way to use magisk on that.

Thanks for the advice.:)
