[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
@bassamanator I don't actually have anything in /data/misc/wifi_supplicant.conf

Completely empty.

Almost certain this can be fixed now lol
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bassamanator:
So I cleared my wpa_supplicant.conf and that didn't do anything.

I tried to clear fix my persist, however, it failed. One reason that it might have failed is because I did it with OOS-11.0.2.2 whereas in the guide OOS-10.5.4 was used. Also, the calibration test failed with very few red lines which is said to be bad. This might have something to do with version 10.5.4 vs 11.0.2.2. I can revert back to OOS-10.5.4, however, I am unable to get root access on that version.

I need help getting root access in version 10.5.4 :/
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Why are you unable to get root access?

Follow the guide to the letter, it does indeed have to be on Android 10.

In what way is it failing to root?

What process have you used? I can walk you through that no problem.

In order i think this is what is best to be done.

1. MSM down to 10.5.4 and then unlock the bootloader again.

2. Obtain root access, you will need to have access to the 10.5.4 firmware, I can extract the image but it would be best if you patched this yourself.

3. Boot the image then install directly to make it permanent.

4. Make a back up of your EFS and Persist partitions.

5. Run through the persist fix.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bassamanator:
So I'm getting MagiskManager from topjohnwu's github directly. I can get root access no problem on 11.0.2.2. When I use the same method (extract boot.img from payload, patch it using MM, then fastboot flash boot boot_patched.img) for 10.5.4, the phone gives me a

error. I can't even get to Recovery. I'm still trying so that I can simply patch the original boot.img 10.5.4 and try again.

I need a patched 10.5.4 boot.img that is patched with magisk. :/
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] FreshlyBaked 420:
You are wanting Root and TWRP on A10? If so look for the All in one tool in the development thread. It still works on A10. Its super easy to do! It will install TWRP and magisk with no issues.

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Honestly just change the channel to Canary or beta then patch it.

Then boot it.

Then install directly.

Try Canary first if that doesn't work then try beta.

My bootloader unlock and root guide shows the version I used I believe.

But the beta should be fine..

Just don't flash it, only boot.

Command is: fastboot boot magisk_patched

The device will reboot on its own, if it fails just reboot and you're fine..

A flash if borked will go wrong and stay wrong.

Don't use stable, stick with Canary and beta. Change the channel then update magisk manager

This is my old bootloader and rooting on 10 guide.

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-unlocking-bootloader-rooting-from-start-to-finish-android-10.4151823/

There's quite a few comments on there with multiple patched images for every region/ model.

If you can't find it in there it doesn't exist
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bassamanator:
I changed MM channel to beta and did flashboot boot boot-patched.img and I have root on 10.5.4.

Start persist fix now...
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bassamanator:
I tried this 3 or 4 times. It did not work.

I'm going to start from scratch (MSM factory reset, delete older persist files...) just to make sure I have not missed any steps.

Side note: in order to properly flash a MM patched boot.img, it must be flashed to both boot_a and boot_b
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bassamanator:
Failed again. Fingerprint, wifi, bluetooth not working.

Precise log of the steps I took

1. Factory reset using MSM tool-10.5.4

2. Oem unlock

3. Install MMv805 (stable channel)

4. MM: Patch boot.img

5. Flash boot_patched.img

6. Backup persist.img to PC

7. Extract persist.img files/folders

8. Copy data/ and engineermode/ to phone/Download

9. Phone: delete phone/data/gf_persist.so

10. SKIP /mnt/vendor/persist/engineermode/engineermode_config first 2 lines already set to false

11. Start fingerprint calibration

12. Keep finger OFF sensor for Black rubber test

13. Test successfully failed (several pages worth of red lines; last line: FAIL:GF_ERROR_PRESS_INCOMPLETE)

14. Copy data/ and engineermode/ over to /mnt/vendor/persist/ (merge, remember; new, remember)

15. Reboot

16. Fail fingerprint setup: Enrolment was not completed. Fingerpring registration error, please try again.

I am fail :/

@dladz I'm up for anything at this point for the sake of science! I'd like to try what @Some_Random_Username mentioned here. I can get to this screen but I'm not sure what precautions to take. I await your wisdom.

Thanks!
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Lol man this is a bugger.

I've never done this one buddy.

Can look into it but I'd know as much as you.

I'm regards to the persist one, the chap in the thread who made the guide would know more than me by miles.

I'll have a look at the screen for 268.

I think so long as you've done your EFS back up and persist back up (do long as that worked) you should be fine to try absolutely anything.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Also if you haven't gone to magisk and clicked install after booting the patched boot image, you will lose root immediately when you reboot your phone, as the boot image is only temporarily booted. Just click install then direct install in magisk (top install button on the main page)
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bassamanator:
Well as you just saw @dladz, we have made some progress :)

I was thinking that I should backup my efs since I'm playing fast and loose with this phone. I was going to do

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=/sdcard/efs_backup.img

from this thread https://xdaforums.com/t/solved-guide-how-to-backup-efs-modemfs-folders.2342100/

That guide is for Samsung phones though. Will it work for me?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
so seeing as you have two IMEI's that won't work i'm afraid, i believe this is the code via ADB.

Backing up

------------------------

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/sdcard/modemst1.bin bs=512

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/sdcard/modemst2.bin bs=512

Restoring

------------------

fastboot flash modemst1 modemst1.bin

fastboot flash modemst2 modemst2.bin

As far as i know these are still the commands, the byte count may be slightly different so instead of 512 change to 2048 on both.

@bassamanator

Remember when we used to be able to flash a radio / modem back in the HTC days?

This seems to be what we need.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
When you were on android 10 it still didn't work did it?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bassamanator:
I'm getting an error

Tried with 2048/mmcblk0p11 as well. fdisk is not on my phone but blkid is. I don't see /dev/block/mmcblk0p1* listed anywhere.

I also no longer have 2 IMEIs, only 1. If I remember correctly I was on OOS-11.x when I checked. Also, I just popped my sim into the 2nd slot and was told that dual sims would be supported in a future update (currently on 10.5.4).

I think I'll wait a couple of days, take a break from this and then I'll contact OnePlus.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Ridiculous question but have you gone to wifi and reset wifi and bluetooth?

Also can you get any more information from here *#*#4636#*#*

Type it into the dialer.

Under Wi-Fi API you may be able to disable then re-enable WiFi again.

Well I did the modem flashing on my Nexus 4, I don't remember what android version that was. But it did work actually, I forget what I was trying to do precisely, however.

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bassamanator:
Thought I should provide some closure here.

There is a physical problem with the hardware of the phone. It was a fixable problem (I sent it in for repair) but would have cost me $500 to fix so I decided not to. It seems the previous owner had perhaps tried to fix this issue themselves, or so I was told.

In any case, I use this phone as a camera only, it sits next to my 3D printer.

Thanks all for your help!

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] agucasta:
Hello folks. I've been reading a lot to fix this issue but no luck yet so I come to you. I have a Pixel 4XL running android 11, and a smartwatch brand Haylou Ls05, with the apk Haylou Fit.

The thing is I cant set the proper permissions to use the location services in the background. Mi GF has a android 10 phone and no problem.

I already tested everything I founded over the internet and nothing works. When I start running, the app goes good until the screens is off and the tracking of the running gets lost.

Any suggestion? Thanks in advance!!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
Are you running without your phone? This watch doesn't have any GPS chip or functionality, so it is not going to track your location or track your your route by itself. Sorry if this was obvious already but I don't know what your use case is. On Android 10/11 you can control the location use on a per-app basis. If your watch app uses the newest API and supports this function, you will see under the Haylou Fit app permissions>>location the following: (Allow all the time/Allow only when using the app/Ask every time/ Deny). If you don't see this option in your app settings then the app itself needs to be updated. It's not the phone that is the issue, but the app. See the screenshot attached. Android 10 has this same functionality, so I'm not sure why your GF's is working correctly and yours is not. You may try removing and re-installing? Please post a screenshot of what you are seeing under location permissions for this app. Cheers.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] agucasta:
Thanks very much for your answer. Yes, I run with the cellphone to use the gps of it because the watch does not have gps. Sorry i'm not very familiar with API, but I understand now that it is a problem of the app itself and not of android. My screenshot doesn't show the "allow all the time" item, as i would like to.

Any way to force it? like patching the app o magisk or something I could do? I like this watch very much , its small and light, and would really like to be able to use it..

Thanks you for the answer.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
Not that I know of. I still would like to know why the app it works on your GF's phone (10) and not yours (11) because they both have the same location security options. Is the "always" option available on hers, or is it working on the "when app is running"? Running the same version? This may be related to the API used by the app and until the dev updates it, it will not work. Try contacting the dev? Contact info is available on the Google Play Store.

When i connected to pc. It's was not recognized. I installed drivers. Changed 3 cables. But nothing.

Now it's not even booting. There's a red text showing on top FRP Lock.

I've no idea what to do now. So confused.

Any help will be really appreciated.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] yerp:
damn...thanks for trying
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] wmm:
Too bad. I don't know what reasons the manufacturers might have for not providing this, but one would think that it would be something they'd want to do. Thanks for the info, though.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Nighthawk:
Most likely has to do with legal issues around recording another person without consent, typically illegal in most places.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] wmm:
Actually, it's only illegal if done without permission, and in many places it's only necessary that one of the parties give permission.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] shadym1lkman:
^^ not necessarily in america, esp if both parites are in different states and each state has different laws on recording conversations (with or without consent)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TheBundo:
Does it work if using bluetooth?

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] NLS:
erm, isn't this what wmm mentions in the first post?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] wmm:
Yes, that Is the program I'm using on my 8525. The Resco FAQ specifically mentions hardware restrictions as the reason it doesn't record both sides of the conversation on some devices, and it indeed does not on my 8525. I was hoping HTC had added that capability on the Touch Pro, but apparently not.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kerosen:
I still have a Wizzard (9100) where I used this feature regularly when somebody was telling me an address or a phone number. During a conversation I pressed and keep it pressed the right button (Voice Speed Dialing) and it gave me 20 seconds of recording, both parties.

How can I do that with Raphael?

And I have the impression that the volume of the phone is less powerfull that for Wizzard. If it's a bit noisy environment I have difficultied hearing on the phone (both volumes are set to max).

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] timperativ:
Hello there,

I just updated the Oneplus Launcher (to version 5.0.2.3.210107152713.2314693) via the PlayStore and since then it immedately stopps working as soon as i press home / recents. This happens also when I switch to an alternative launcher like Nova. When I try to uninstall the Oneplus Launcher from the PlayStore, the phone is not responsive when opening home / recents. With Nova the OP launcher no longer crashes, but looks kinda weird:

I am having the same problems with older versions of the launcher from apkmirror. It either does not respond or immediatly crashes.

I am running stock OxygenOS 10.3.7 on the OnePlus 6.

Any help is appreciated :3
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] hundertzwoelf:
Hey there!

I'm currently going through exactly the same, also on a OP6 running OxygenOS 10.3.7. After I uninstalled all launcher updates in the app settings I now get the same weird-looking recents menu as you do. At least it works again.

I tried installing several prior versions from apkmirror.com but all of the 5.x versions lead to a non-working menu and home button. All 4.x versions result in this ugly recent screen.

I'll let you know as soon as I find a solution.

Greetings, hundertzwoelf

Oh my..I figured it out. The problem was caused by an overlay I had installed via the Swift Installer. After uninstalling the theme it all works very well for me.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirtyAngelicaSecured:
Some of my Android 9 and 10 devices do not come with "Randomize WiFi MAC Address" feature, but they do allow MAC address spoofing with "ifconfig wlan0 hw ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" and it works. The problem is that spoofed MAC address resets back to original one after device reboot. There are some MAC-spoofing apps, but they don't address the issue of MAC addresses resetting back to natives one after device reboot. There doesn't appear to be a Magisk module for this purpose either.

Can someone can advice me on how to create a simple script that forces a specific wlan0 MAC address during device boot?

It is important for the MAC address to be spoofed before any wlan0 connections occur

. Therefore, it can't be one of those scripts that execute commands after the device is already booted because by then the device can connect to a WiFi network with native, non-spoofed MAC address.

I would actually prefer if someone could write the script for me or just create a Magisk module. I am very new to how Linux works.

1) is it possible to root the global version? (i see threads on converting the chinese version to global but i want to avoid this extra work)

2) do i need to get the bootloader code from xiaomi for global phone or can i root without it?

3) if so how long does it take to get it from xiaomi?

4) once rooted, can i return to unrooted afterwards?

5) i have no experience rooting, will rooting be undone if phone is automatically updated via xiaomi?

5) once unrooted, are any changes made to the phone (in my case deleting a specfic option on the SETTINGS menu) changed back with xiaomi auto update?

6) the reason i want to buy from ebay is i can return less hassle if seller gives me chinese version claiming it is global, does anyone gave experience buying global version elsewhere?

excuse the questions i've never rooted before, but now i find the need to do it because i have a huawei mate 20 x which doesnt allow me to root because bootloader is locked
