[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] drnightshadow:
Yap, but every custom Rom has it's own vendor version. LOS has old one and many custom ROMs. It's actually developer decision what version he's gonna use to build rom. That's it. Yes MIUI ROM uses latest. You can't mix them because you'll get bootloop or bricked device.

For latest version you need to ask developer to update it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Unrud:
The vendor security patch level is just a setting configured here: https://github.com/LineageOS/androi...0038ae0340b1da03ae9c00ff50/BoardConfig.mk#L56

The official LOS 18.1 rom contains at least some vendor blobs from the latest MIUI V12.0.2.0.PEIMIXM rom.

That probably means the vendor security patch level date is not accurate and can be ignored.

Yes, it works. Considering you are currently using even older firmware.

You can flash the firmware ZIP from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/whyred/. It only updates the various firmware partitions without touching the "boot", "system" and "vendor" partitions (on which LOS is installed).

For some reason the firmware ZIP is missing the new boot logo. It can be updated manually by extracting the file "/firmware-update/splash.img" from the latest MIUI Rom and flashing it in Fastboot Mode with

fastboot flash splash splash.img

[Magisk] 🇮 🇳 🇫 🇷 🅰 🆒:
Due to Lenovo A536 amazing "Complete action using…" I can't select boot.img file as it only offers music and gallery app to choose file. It runs KK 4.4.2 build A536_S175_150105_ROW with latest Magisk installed.

I've tried some tricks like renaming file to music/picture type but ended unsuccessful. Searchin gave me nothing remotely similar to my problem.

So… is there some way i can manually enter img location in Magisk or to force system for another file chooser?

Hello I am a new user to root

I have an a20e which is rooted with magisk using twrp

I was wondering If there was any way you could overclock the screen to something like 75hz

If anyone could help at all please do

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Take note that monitor overclocking does not improve the graphics quality of a game. Overclocking your phone's monitor won’t provide as big of a benefit as will overclocking other components.

BTW: Some phones on the market which support high refresh rates will allow you to select a lower rate in order to save power. But unless the phone supports a higher refresh rate out of the box there's nothing you can do to increase it.

If the script works on your device please send me your log files from this folder:

/data/local/tmp/systemrw_1.32/log/

And please write your phone model - Android version - firmware version

Then I can add you to the list of successful devices and it will be helpful for further development. Thank you!(y)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lebigmac:
You're supposed to run this on the phone ;)

This universal version is different from the previous Linux only version!

Please follow the instructions in the first post or in the comment section of the script itself!

It looks like I'll have to make a flashable zip out of this. Please give me a day or two to learn more about flashable zip's!

I just wanted to release it as soon as possible because I know many people were waiting for the new universal version ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] walid77dz:
you mean terminal of twrp?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Frxhb:
Thanks for your hard work. So I just need to copy the file to my storage and run it with TWRP ( I use orangefox) and nothing more?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lebigmac:
Manual installation:

Extract BUNDLE.zip

Extract flashable.zip

Copy systemrw_1.32 folder into /data/local/tmp/

It should look like this:

/data/local/tmp/systemrw_1.32

Please keep in mind I have not tested this in orangefox but only in twrp so you will be the first person to do so!

Is orangefox an engineer build like twrp? You can check this by doing

getprop ro.build.type
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Frxhb:
when I run " getprop ro.build.type" the answer is "eng"

You've got to be kidding me!

Thanks for your feedback uvzen. I think you were the first one to try it. Congratulations :D

Can you please tell me do you have a super partition on your device? What Android version?

And how did you like the flashing process? Was it smooth and fast?

Thanks to a suggestion by user @Kolibass the flashing is now super fast in this new version!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lebigmac:
So is your system read-write now? Did you use any special arguments when calling the script such as size=100 to give extra free space to your partitions? That's useful so you can copy stuff to system. Otherwise you can only delete stuff...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] uvzen:
I used ./makesysrw.sh size=300 but that's not enough and now I will try with size=1000
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lebigmac:
1 GB (1024 MB) is probably too much ;)

Did you try copy stuff into /system yet to see if it's read write?

In your favorite root file manager you can click the remount as R/W button on top.

You can also try mounting your partition(s) as read/write manually like this:

I mean 300MB is not enough for me xD

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lebigmac:
@walid77dz did you try to boot into android, set a PIN code and then reboot to TWRP and decrypt everything by entering your PIN code?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ea3aitjr:
Ok. Perfect.

One question:

¿ it would be possible in any way to make the script work inside a magisk module ? I mean, your script is a fantastic way to modifiy the system partition for many purposes, but always with your rom already installed. BUT, I don't know if this can be included in a Magisk module for making changes from TWRP, like we did before. Or, may be this should be a feature to develop from TWRP developers... ¿ what do you think about this?

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lebigmac:
Maybe it's possible I don't really know much about Magisk modules unfortunately. And I have no idea how to make one :D You would have to ask somebody who is more experienced with Magisk modules.

It looks even better than inside TWRP! How is that even possible?! I never tested it in OrangeFox!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] harpreet.s:
Same error for me , only difference is , it is system-ext.img.

@lebigmac , as a workaround is it possible to exclude some of the *.img files from resizing or exclude from read/write action.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SimonFoxcoon:
i'm not sure if this means i have a super-partition or not
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lebigmac:
I agree root without rw is a joke!

Thanks for the screenshot. It looks like resize2fs failed to resize that image. Maybe it's empty or file is corrupted or unknown filesystem?

Did you try to run the script manually inside Android yet?

Yes of course it's possible to exclude some images from being made read write.

Right now I am excluding all empty images. What else do you want me to exclude?

Try this:

ls -Alg /dev/block/by-name | grep "super"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lebigmac:
@Articul8Madness Thanks for your detailed log. It looks like all went well but at the very end the lpmake command failed to put it all back together. Looks like error 73. Try the included sysrw_repair troubleshooting repair script (linux only)

@SimonFoxcoon Thanks for confirming. You have no super partition so simply run script like this:

cd /data/local/tmp/makesysrw_1.20
./makesysrw.sh

Or simply install the flashable zip in custom recovery.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SimonFoxcoon:
I get this error in TWRP

"Updater process ended with ERROR: 255

How are you trying to install bootanimation?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] paxcow86:
downloading a custom boot and replacing boot animation.zip in it. before the script i couldnt even see anything in system with twrp now i can see subfolders and files but i cant actually write anything. ive tried mounting system in twrp. i appreciate you following up on this with me. it would be nothing short of epic if this would work
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheGhost1951:
First off, find out where bootanimation.zip is stored by using a root explorer search function. Do you have root with Magisk installed. That is necessary.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] paxcow86:
ya i have all that. the boot zip is in ststem/product/media
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheGhost1951:
Lastly how are you trying to install the new bootanimation?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] paxcow86:
manually replacing bootanimation.zip
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheGhost1951:
Have you tried Bootanimation changer from the play store and in settings set the install directory? That will definitely tell you if you have total root access!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] paxcow86:
but replacing bootanimation.zip what does this have to do with the script?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheGhost1951:
Listen, I am trying to help. How I go about the sequence Is my way of obtaining the information I need to proceed with the the help for you. You did not answered my last questions..... Have a good evening and I wish you well.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] paxcow86:
ive answered everything youve asked. idc about the boot image. im worried about this script. run that app to tell of o have full root acess? come on bro
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] furomin:
Is it really true that the script is superflous when using a custom rom? Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question... Thank you!

Hello @marqwe thanks for sharing your interesting rw research with the open source community :D(y)

I hope you don't mind if I quote your posts here but they are also of relevance to this thread ;)(y)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lebigmac:
@marqwe I tried to convert the system to rw like you said and I made sure that all contexts are transferred over properly. I ended up using the find command similar to what you did and it worked like a charm. Nice find BTW ;)(y)

Boy is that find command slow though!

Here are my results. Everything looked too perfect to be true but then sadly it ended up in bootloop even though all permissions and contexts seem to be correct. Do you have any idea?

Oh I see you flashed the resulting rw system.img directly onto the dm-0 device mapper partition is that it?

Maybe I'm still missing some crucial permissions somewhere... Should I brute-force the chmod as well? :unsure:

Thanks for your support! (y)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] furomin:
I also like your work and am supporting you, @lebigmac ! But is your systemrw script really not needed when using any (AOSP?) based custom rom? I tried a long time googling the answer, but found no clear answer top that question. Mabe it needed when using xiaomi.eu (or comparable) OS and an OS comparable to ricedroid? But thats just a wild guess from a noobie Like me. I'd really appreciate an answer, thank you!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lebigmac:
@furomin Well it depends if that person who made the custom ROM already ran my script or not (and if (s)he gave proper credit where it's due or not). In which case I guess it won't be needed anymore :ROFLMAO: I hope this answers your question ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] furomin:
The person mainting Cherish OS for Mi 11 says he has no clue about it and never heard of something like "SystemRW", "MakeRW" or "RWLite 2.0". It answers my question somehow, but it opens the question "Who to ask next?"... And I guess there exists no list or something similar containing the information if SystemRW is built-in or not? Technically a list of "built-in: yes" would be enough. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to criticize the work of hours and hours in any way, I'd even would asssign the task to myself to create such a list. But without any clue where to get the infromation needed, I have no chance!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lebigmac:
@furomin I am not sure if I understood you correctly but I think you must wait for the new version of my script as your device probably got the EROFS read-only feature and old version of my script only works with shared_blocks read-only feature... ;)(y)

Hopefully I can release the new release candidate version this year. Please wish me luck thank you 🍀(y)

Open beta coming soon ;)(y)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DiamondJohn:
Most custom ROMs I have seen do not change the system RO status of the device. I am currently running A11 Bliss ROM on a Pixel 4a. Thing to remember, RO System partition can be a good thing for stability, and not everyone wants a RW system partition, when a lot of the changes can be achieved using Magisk

I used to build a lot of ROMs &TWRP for multiple devices, from source. Once you get to the source code modification, you have access to the partition definitions in the fstab file and the rc files (kinda ROM equivalents of boot scripts, but much earlier execution). So there would be no need for a custom ROM to use a boot script. ie you have nothing to fear, they should/would not use your script

Back in Gingerbread days I had a device with only 512mb data partition. I used a boot script (sourced here on XDA) to mount a 2GB custom partition located on my external 32GB SDCard as if it were the internal data partition. A little later, devs actually started doing the same, built directly into the ROM, via the ROM. ie no boot script.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Arealhooman:
Question: Why is this script useful? Doesn’t root allow you to change anything already?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheGhost1951:
Magisk can not do everything that a customizer wants to do to their phone. Been there a tried without success. Example, tried the font module, but it would not apply selected font systemwide. With systemrw script I have systemwide fonts AND any custom bootanimation even ones I create myself. Among other things...

You can get boot animatiosn without this I think.

READ my post.

I was careful to not say everything

And even with this script, there will be some things "that a customizer wants to do to their phone", that they cannot, without compiling from source; be it the whole ROM or a component (which magisk can then be used to inject into the ROM).
