[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] PieceKeepr:
My new 8 Pro arrived today. I'm going to leave it stock while I get it set up and get used to it. I know I'll want to root it soon though and I'm seeing a couple different root methods. What is the recommended method that most are using for simple yet reliable rooting?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] null0seven:
I did not try to root on Android 11. So i rollback to Android 10 (some months ago)

My safe instalation: i was on Android 11, i go back (rollback zip) to Android 10.

OnePlus Community

Introducing our new OnePlus Community experience, with a completely revamped structure, built from the ground-up.

forums.oneplus.com

Then use dladz guide to root :

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

Steps to upgrade and keep root:

1- Uninstall ALL Magisk modules (if you have any). Reboot to System.

2- install Oos stable or open beta with Settings > Local upgrade . DON'T reboot!!!

3- Open Magisk > Install. Choose (Install to inactive slot after' OTA). DON'T reboot !!!

4- Back in Magisk > Install > Direct install.

5- Reboot to system.

Now you are on the latest version of Android and root.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
As @null0seven said there's a few, the bootloader one is one of mine.

I have a payload dumper thread in guides, it outlines all the methods to root, the one Null has mentioned is the bootloader unlock although the root method is a little dated now. Probably best to stick with booting rather than flashing patched images.

There's two slots on the OnePlus 8 Pro.

A and B

They can carry different images independently, although only one can be used at a time.

Give the booting a patched image of the guide a look at it's the easiest.

When it comes to updating simply remove active magisk modules, take the update but don't reboot or the update will replace the patched boot image.

Whilst in the above state magisk has the ability to patch on the fly, this is due to the update alternating boot image slots.

So the method of root when taking an OTA (which must be full btw) is to take the update then without rebooting, open magisk and flash to open slot, then simply reboot and you're back in the new OS with root and all your data/apps and storage has been retained as you left it.

All this is outlined in the guide.

If you get stuck let me know or just pop a question in there, either myself or someone else will help you. But the guides should be though, plus nearly every scenario has played out in there so check search too.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] PieceKeepr:
Thank you @null0seven and @dladz. I feel like such a noob now that I switched devices for the first time in years. I'm already missing root (Ad blocking and debloating for sure) so that'll be a project for later today or tomorrow.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
No worries man.

It's really easy tbh.

My advice is make friends with payload dumper and oxygen updater, always use the beta version of magisk, just change the channel to beta then update.

Beyond that it's a doddle.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] PieceKeepr:
Rooting was easier than it looked and was successful. Thanks for the guide @dladz!

I'm struggling trying to get R/W access so I can debloat. Titanium Backup says it can't find the apk, Root Uninstaller says it can't aquire the proper permissions and from what I have read there is no way to grant access in the newer versions of Android. Is my only option to flash a new ROM or is there another way to remove apps that I don't want?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
you're very welcome mate, glad you're sorted.

So what i would do is one of two things. You can either uninstall the apps using ADB or you can freeze them, tbh freezing has been spot on for me.

I've nuked with ADB the ones i really hate.

OR NoLimits xXx has a great debloater tool.

System doesn't have access anymore unless it's unmounted i believe, so magisk can obtain access (i could be wrong there but i think that's how it is able to make changes there)

Heres a great guide on the adb uninstall process: https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/

If theres an app you want to get rid of just google search it and go from there.

Just got my One plus 8 pro for $550 256gb. I was thinking of waiting out for the OnePlus 9 pro but kinda don't wanna pay 1k
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] galaxys:
Great Buy! Enjoy a OnePlus classic device...
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Ridiculous price, nice one.

Any more in stock or was it a private seller?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Nitro1010:
Private Seller, met on offer up so everything was cash. Original box and charger. And Day 1 screen protector on the front(so no scratches I can see for now both front and back). Bezel has the most wear. Paint chip on top right and tiny paint wear from repeated probing of the sim car slot hole. Overall I feel like it's a good buy for the price I got it at
[Magisk] amw2320:
I installed Magisk with a patched image on a Pixel 4. This process appears to always patch boot.img with the latest version of Magisk. Is there any way to patch an image with an old version of Magisk? Specifically I'd like to install 21.2 (coming from 21.4).

If not, I assume I need to install a custom recovery to downgrade to an older version?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
I'm assuming you mean that you want to downgrade from 21.4 to 21.2. You have a couple of possibilities actually.

You could setup your own custom update channel with the Magisk zip of your choice. I've described that here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/magisk-general-support-discussion.3432382/post-84290797

But since you want to use the stable releases you can find the old update channel in Github's commit history. It takes a little bit of insight into how Github works though... I've had plans to write down the steps required in my Magisk guide for ages, but somehow I never get around to it.

Using this as your custom update channel would give you Magisk v21.2:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/d10a630a4d4a3c54cf57abc7411f698f0ff79161/stable.json

If you want to use TWRP you do not need to install it though. It's perfectly possible to boot TWRP without having to install it:

fastboot boot twrp.img

Keep in mind that no official support is given for old releases...
[Magisk] amw2320:
Excellent. That worked!

I ask as the instructions seem to imply that installing from recovery is a thing of the past. Is that just for certain devices?

Any difference with using the custom channel to do a direct install vs patch for downgrades?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
If there is a custom recovery available for your device it's very often a viable option for installation. But, as it says in the instructions, it may fail and patching the image may be your only option. Boot image patching or the direct install option are the recommended methods (since there it's possible for @topjohnwu to control exactly what's going on).

Once you have Magisk installed already it's generally recommended to use the direct install option, but since Android is Android and there are way too many different setups out there to even count there is going to be instances where the direct install fails and patching a boot image is needed, or even that installing through recovery is the only option.

There's no practical difference between direct install and patching the image manually. The only difference is in who's doing the flashing of the image (you or the Manager).

You've got a Pixel device, so you should be good on all accounts. @topjohnwu uses his Pixel devices to test a lot of stuff with Magisk and they'll pretty much always be fully supported.

Hi. Thanks for making this post. Very helpful. Can you tell me:

Which rom is best for long battery backup on Redmi GO?

Which ARM version of GAPPS should I download for Redmi GO? ARM or ARM64 ?

Where can I contact you directly?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amkin:
Hey subho, I want to suggest the caos 10 I.e. available in the telegram group I mentioned also its made by someone named gremaxon maybe checkout. I am now using the same getting more than 1and half day battery life which is awesomely better than the stock ROM offered.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amkin:
Now you want to connect personally I am available at my own forum : xxxxxx

[Miscellaneous Android Development] shuvo030:
Please reply, should I download ARM64 gapps or ARM gapps from opengapps.org for TitaniumOS ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amkin:
Yes try that but if you are using my caos ROM or any ROM more than 1gb then try bitgapps as opengapps Android 10 even pico pack gives error 7 (it means insufficient storage)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amkin:
Any gapps u use but use only arm version
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amkin:
Ohh are you using builds from techyminati .

Use at your own risk if you have read my thread.

By the way use arm version of any gapps u use
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amkin:
I am using bitgapps android 10 arm build

I have tried weebgapps but it cause issue with signing into play store.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] shuvo030:
Will bitgapps work on TitaniumOS ? And should I just flash "BiTGApps-arm-10.0.0-R29_signed.zip" from: xxxxx via TWRP?

MOD EDIT: Link removed
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amkin:
Wait I'm providing the link
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amkin:
BiTGApps-arm-10.0.0-R29_signed.zip

This one
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amkin:
And bitgapps is the same thing with very basic functionality of the google apps so it will work on your ROM like opengapps do!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] shuvo030:
Thank you! I will flash Bitgapps now. But can you tell me how to keep the phone ALWAYS decrypted? Every time I flash decrypt.zip, after the phone boots, it encrypts again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amkin:
Check my forum there in a thread I have posted a rar file download it and keep in a safe place decrypt.zip from there it will work
[Miscellaneous Android Development] shuvo030:
I flashed that decrypt.zip then I reboot and it shows "Encryption Unsuccessful"
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amkin:
Actually after flashing the ROM flash decrypt and reboot I did the same for More than a year now it works and if you have kept backup of everything then you should not regret encryption. It only removes the recovery and nothing happen more than that.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amkin:
After it shown encryption unsuccessful boot to recovery just flash decrypt and boot it will take time but will work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amkin:

Thanks for replying. I solved the problem by changing Data from f2fs to ext4. Thank you for all of your support. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amkin:
Its weird that your file system was in f2fs but in my case its always ext4. By the way congratulations! You made it I am happy now. Good night.

[General Questions and Answers] adhgoae5z:
So hey there,

i had a Xiaomi MI A2 lite with some unofficial LOS version on Android 9 running for a longer time stable.

This morning i wanted to check my messages, and it crashed and restarted, the internal memory is filled up since weeks!

It than only wanted to boot into twrp, which i definitively disliked, but whatever, no real problem, will just steal time i thought.

I was still in bed, not awake fully, so i wanted to try out twrp's partition fixing options.

Of course i accidentally wiped my data partition.

Still thought there will be a way, but got stressed more and more ...

so started up my pc and researched, found this forum post: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/208106/how-to-recover-a-deleted-file-from-data-partition

which told me i could recover /data, just need to find some "Block Device" with "mount | grep 'on /data'", which got me the desired result i think, "/dev/block/dm-0 on /data type ext4 (rw,seclabel,relatime,data=ordered)"

Nice i thought, lets dd that over to the external sd card, got an "Error: 1" ...

I thought maybe it trys to buffer the file somehow on the full disk, so lets move it to a place, which i can access by PC over MTP from twrp, to copy it this way.

So did "dd if=/dev/block/dm-0 of=/external_sd/data.img" inside twrp's terminal, and voila, i had an empty data.img file on my sd, and no trace of "data" on my device any more.

So, is there some way for me now, to dump maybe the whole internal storage into a file through TWRP/ADB?

Or some other idea?

I'm pretty lost right now, i now, its my own fault, should've made a backup, but my 6 TB NAS was full, so i first need to order new HDD's to have space again ...

Had a lot of rly important stuff on that phone ...

Would even be open for commercial ideas ...
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Most Android versions come with the Linux TAR utility. Why not pack the contents of data directories you are interested in into an archive - what at any time easily can get unpacked / restored in any location?

Example:

adb devices
adb shell "mkdir -p -m644 /<external-sdcard-name>/backup"

adb shell "tar -cvzpf /<external-sdcard-name>/backup/DCIM.tar.gz /storage/emulated/0/DCIM
adb pull /<external-sdcard-name>/backup/DCIM.tar.gz C:\DCIM
adp shell "rm -f /<external-sdcard-name>/backup/DCIM.tar.gz"

...

adb shell "tar -cvzpf /<external-sdcard-name>/backup/Musics.tar.gz /storage/emulated/0/Musics
adb pull /<external-sdcard-name>/backup/Musics.tar.gz C:\Musics
adp shell "rm -f /<external-sdcard-name>/backup/Musics.tar.gz"
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Jaqueek:
Update: it was Magisk, but not the option I said, maybe a module?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Jaqueek:
Update: I got it now.

No, I was wrong. I figured it out. It bugs after I update to Magisk 21.3 from 20.4. The manager is not a problem. Also,...

... It is weird indeed, but not important, it's not annoying and useful if I'm in a hurry or smth so I can't complain. Also, after I uninstalled Magisk that didn't dissapear. Anyways, I just don't care about that anymore.

Also, I managed to flash GApps pico, it was a little hard.

One last thing, when I said that my TWRP saw gibberish when trying to access /sdcard1,

it appeared to not be only TWRP. Stock File Manager saw those weird names too, after I wiped the Internal Storage partition. I just fixed content in TWRP and wiped Int. Storage again, it's fine now. I still haven't checked TWRP though. (just checked, yeah it looks the same still but any file manager is fine)

So, what is causing my device to turn off when I update to Magisk 21.3?

Edit: It also happens when I uninstall the original and install the new one.

[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] Advanced07:
Hello guys. My brother's Huawei p20 Lite is stuck in a bootloop. I'm unable to access the recovery and Erecovery (tried 10 times but it just won't work.) The only thing that works is Fastboot mode and it shows this error. Can't use Hisuite because apparently this phone isn't supported to be recovered using that program. How can I fix this phone? Is it permanently bricked?
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Hello, try this way out...

1. install on your PC "Minimal ADB and fastboot" tool, in fastboot mode run command

fastboot erase userdata

and try restart the device.

Or,

2. download and use a Service ROM with an sd/card or an USB-OTG flashdrive in dload mode. Download correct Service ROM from androidhost.ru website, unpack .zip archive , find dload file in "Software" folder, and simply transfer it to the SD card, without unpacking it! (instruction can be found in ReleaseDoc folder).

Turn off your phone and flash FW using three button combo .

The first step is to determine which variant of your device you are on.

In fastboot mode run commands:

fastboot oem get-build-number

fastboot oem get-product-model

fastboot getvar vendorcountry

fastboot oem oeminforead-CUSTOM_VERSION

fastboot oem oeminforead-SYSTEM_VERSION

(The bracketed (Cxxx) is your device’s regional variant.

This number is very important in determining the correct firmware to download!).

Service ROM can be found here:

https://androidhost.ru/search.html . Type Ane- or Anne- .

For example, for build number ANE-LX1 9.1.0.278 C432) :

https://androidhost.ru/Xar

Same phone and same thing happened to me. What's different is that twrp recovery works.

It all started when I unlocked the bootloader with PotatoNV. I unlocked it with the fastboot oem unlock MYUNLOCKCODE command.

Then i flashed twrp: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk d:\twrp.img

Then whatever happened, I started seeing the error "AP_S_ABNORMAL 64" in fastboot mode, but running commands was fine.

I deleted everything by entering the codes below with fastboot mode.

fastboot erase system -w

fastboot erase userdata

Then I reinstalled twrp recovery by entering the codes below and flashed a custom rom.

fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk d:\twrp.img

fastboot flash system d:\MyCustomRom.img

Suddenly what do I see.

When I rebooted with the fastboot reboot command, twrp was constantly opening. The system would not boot at all. I was desperately doing everything I could think of. Only one thing worked. I opened emui e-recovery by pressing the volume up, volume down and power keys at the same time. It was failing there and there was only one option; I clicked restart. The system booted this time, not twrp, and after a long wait, the main installation screen came.
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
it is not e-recovery, this buttons combination triggers the installation of FW by the dload method.
