Not sure what I'm doing wrong here....

Enrolled in the beta and installed via OTA (unlocked bootloader, Magisk rooted A11 Sept update)

Beta installed fine, obviously lost root

Tried to boot TWRP test 9, stuck on the TWRP screen (as expected)

Installed Magisk Canary (f822ca5b, 23001), patched the beta 5 boot.img

Now this is where I get stuck. If I attempt to flash the patched boot.img to /boot, I get a verification error:

failed to load/verify boot images

I can, however, boot the patched boot.img as long as the stock boot.img is in /boot.

Update:

So I started fresh and used the flash tool, and disabled verity/verification. After doing so, I was able to flash and successfully boot the patched boot.img.

I did wipe the device; I am not sure if this can be skipped, but at least I got it to work and am now on rooted Beta 5.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sh0X31:
Guys I have a question.

How I update when A12 get released?

With this command?

And than flashing the patched Boot.img?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
If you take the OTA, it will install with dm-verity and vbmeta verification enabled, therefore you'll lose the ability to root post update.

The alternative is to flash the factory zip, but this requires a data wipe when coming from a different version of Android.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] vandyman:
I tried using the online flash tool when I did the Beta5. You can check/unchecked options before flashing. And I will be using the flash tool from here on out.

There is a how to, somewhere in this thread.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sh0X31:
As I know twrp is not even wip 😅.

Looking for a guide to update so final a12 (when released & without wiping data.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sh0X31:
When I update via online flashtool and check/unchecked options the right options. Do it work without losing daten and reflashend the parched boot.img from the official release?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] vandyman:
There is an option not to wipe data.

But I wiped my data for a clean install from A11 to A12b5.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
If you're using the flash tool to update from Android 11, you -will- have to wipe data, otherwise you'll get a corrupted data error. You can disable dm-verity and vbmeta verification when using the flash tool.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sh0X31:
Thanks for your Guide, but can you please add how to update? For example from beta 3/4 to beta 5 or from beta 5 to finally Android 12 (when available).

How I would update to beta 5 from beta 3/4 or beta 5 to Android 12 stable.

!!Just MY THEORY and NOT TESTED!!​

- download the factory image and unzip it.

- extract the boot.img from the image.zip and put it on the storage of your P5.

- now patch the boot.img with Magisk and move it to your ADB folder on your computer

- to update Bootloader & Radio from the factory.zip just extract and run these commands;

- use the ADB and flash the Stable A12 Image with following command:

- after the successful flash you reboot into fastboot Mode and flash the patch boot.img with following command:

- Reboot and enjoy (fastboot reboot)

Really interested if it work or not 🙈
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
If you're coming from 12 Beta, a data wipe should not be necessary - don't quote me on that, I don't know for sure, it's just an educated guess.

We should, in theory, be able to just flash the factory zip with dm-verity and vbmeta verification disabled. I don't believe taking the OTA will work because that will likely enable dm-verity and vbmeta verification.

Is anybody else having a problem maintaining root using magisk alpha P5 Android 12 beta 5 I can flash the patched boot image and then reboot and I have root if I reboot again I lose root
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] vandyman:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] elong7681:
Yes and it doesn't retain root after reboot
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] vandyman:
If you can get root. Before rebooting, uninstall Magisk though the app.

Than reboot, install the apk and make a new patche'd image.

Really odd, I have Magisk on my Pixel 5 and with A12b5.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] elong7681:
I flashed the patched boot image and booted to Android and the flashed the Cleanslate kernel with the FKM app and have since rebooted several times and haven't lost root but I can not pass safetynet and I'm using the 2.1.1 safetynet module with Riru and Magisk Alpha do you have any suggestions
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] vandyman:
I am on the factory stock rom and no modules. No need to run blotted Roms. Safeynet, my PNC bank app works without it.

Google Pay is a waste of time if you keep on trying to customize your cell.

I use my debit card instead, you can not with draw money from the atm with google play.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] elong7681:
So I thought my root was solid and around 5:30 pm I opened up the Magisk app and again root was gone but the Cleanslate kernel was still installed. I don't understand what's happening.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jiggs82:
Hmm it's a known issue that safetynet doesn't pass with clean slate kernel n 2.1.1 mod...
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yodasgodfather:
Does anyone know what i did wrong if safetynet fails? I patched the boot omg and everything was fine. Even ticked the correct options in flash tool and safety net doesn't pass which is a must for me. Do I need to install lpexposed canary?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
The only thing you should have to do is install the Universal Safetynet Fix module in Magisk, then use Magisk Hide to hide Magisk from Google Play Services.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yodasgodfather:
Thank you I'll give it a try.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] snovvman:
With Beta 5, is still a wipe required when updating from Android 11? I know that it's best to wipe for reliability reasons, but is it required like earlier Betas? Thanks.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
Are we sure about that? I know boot verification and verity need to be disabled (and vbmeta must be flashed), but is a /data wipe absolutely necessary? I ask because if I'm not mistaken, other users in this thread have mentioned updating to the beta without wiping /data.

Edit: Full wipe required when manually updating from previous version of Android; OTA does not wipe, but doesn't disable dm-verity and vbmeta verification either
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
Well, folks, looks like Android 12 final isn't coming this month. Maybe next, who knows.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] elong7681:
You are probably right I answered the question first thing this morning on my way to work so I probably made a mistake my apologies
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] prgopala:
But then wouldn't disabling boot verification and verity cause a data wipe? Just a question.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
No. Data wipe is a separate option. Boot verification only checks to see if the hash of the boot image matches what is expected; a modified boot image will fail. Dm-verity verifies kernel integrity to prevent persistent rootkits. Disabling both of these allows you to boot modified boot images, such as Magisk patched images, and disables the security system that would prevent a modified (or rooted) kernel from loading.

Data wipe, aka factory reset, simply wipes the /data partition (as well as /storage), which nukes all user data. If you're coming from Android 11 without taking the OTA, this will be necessary.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] elong7681:
I keep having this issue with Magisk can someone help me out
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
Is your boot image patched? I don't know what DevCheck checks, it may say "rooted" simply if it detects OEM unlocking is enabled
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
So I discovered a few things yesterday that I would like to share.

I tried to downgrade to the October update; although the downgrade was successful, the phone got stuck on the "update" part of the wizard, right after you connect to WiFi. It said an update is available, but would not update, saying I'm on the latest firmware.

Solution: Ensure that if you downgrade, disenroll from the Android Beta program first.

Also, I tried both a downgrade as well as an upgrade to the 12 Beta 5 without wiping /data. Both attempts resulted in a "corrupted data" warning that required a factory reset to fix.

Data wipe is required when upgrading or downgrading manually. The OTA will not require a data wipe, but it will disable your ability to run a patched boot image.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] elong7681:
Yes it is patched and the app DevCheck was developed by @flar2 I generally am able to stay rooted for about 24 hours and then I lose root but several apps that actually check for root say that I am rooted so I don't understand what's going on
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] snovvman:
I'm looking for understanding with flashing from A11 to A12b and the need to wipe. For several past major Android version and beta updates, as well as monthly patches, my typical procedure to patch the boot, flash with -w removed, flash the patched boot, and all is well. I've been able to dirty flash without problems. This thread has people saying both that wipe is required and dirty flash is possible. Though I recognize the benefits of wiping and sometimes the need to, I would like to know why this is a must for A11 to A12b.

In this thread, I read that people are removing vbmeta.img and using

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

I'm not clear what vbmeta is and why disabling verity is needed. Will doing the above allow me to dirty flash? (Edit: a few posts above provide some explaination to this, is this a new security feature for A12?)

How many of you have successfully dirty flashed from A11 to A12b? If wipe is required with A12b, will that change once A12 becomes general release?

I would appreciate any help or insight.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
If you enroll in the beta program and take the OTA, user data is preserved; however this will eliminate root. The reason for this is additional security features implemented in A12 to prevent persistent rootkits in the boot image (which contains the kernel).

Dm-verity and vbmeta verification are the aforementioned features to prevent malicious code from loading at boot time. This is done by comparing the image in /boot to a hash that tells the verification process what the boot image is supposed to look like.

Without these features disabled, you will not be able to have permanent root on your phone, as the modified boot image will fail verification, halting boot. The only way around this is to have the stock boot image in /boot, then live boot a modified boot image via

fastboot boot boot.img

as the security features do not check images loaded via ADB. Of course, this means you lose root if you reboot, and it also means you cannot modify the boot image in any way (such as patching with Magisk) otherwise the phone will not boot.

The only way to disable these features is by using the Android Flash Tool, or by manually flashing via ADB - but, unfortunately, flashing from one version of Android to another using these methods requires a data wipe, otherwise you get a data corruption error and are left with no choice but to perform a factory reset (which wipes /data).

Again, if you enroll in beta and take the OTA, or wait until 12 Final is released and take the OTA, your data will be preserved - however, you'll essentially be unable to root your phone due to the security checks implemented in A12, so the only way to upgrade to A12 and still be able to root is to clean flash with dm-verity and vbmeta verification disabled.

I hope this helps clear things up.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
The only thing I could suggest is starting over. Use the Android Flash Tool, force flash all partitions (which will require a data wipe), and make sure you disable dm-verity and vbmeta verification.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] snovvman:
Thanks for taking the time to reply and clarify things. If after I enroll and OTA (losing rootability but preserving data), can I just then download and flash the A12 image over the OTA'd A12 while disabling verity and vbmeta, thereby regaining root? Or do verity and vbmeta need to be disabled the very first time A12 is installed?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
That's a great question and something that occured to me while I was thinking about it last night. It's entirely possible and worth a look.

Reading back through this thread, something others have tried is flashing vbmeta with DM-Verity and VBMeta Verification disabled after taking the OTA (this cannot be done via the flash tool):

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

Worth a try, I think!

Edit: If you're reading this, yes it worked!
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
A thought:

Since the dm-verity boot verification is being introduced in Android 12, it remains extremely likely that the initial stable release, and subsequent updates, will all cause the same issue, even if updated via OTA. Thus, if retaining root is critical to your ability to use your device, I highly recommend against taking automatic OTAs, and instead update via the factory image using the disable flags.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] luis taylor:
hello I make this guide for all those who are in emui 9.1 and have limited root and want to return to emui 9.0.1 the version I returned from was MHA-LGRP2-OVS 9.1.0.252 to -L09-E9-158-c432

The first thing we will do is download this firmware and it is available for version L09 or L29 according to your model

L09: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397935918

L29: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397935884

once downloaded what we will have to do is flash a recovery

Twrp: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397925791

Now what we will do is flash the twrp, for this we must already have the unlocked bootloader and the fastboot drivers installed and put fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk xxxxx the x means that you will put the name with which you have the recovery.

once we have the twrp what we will do is unzip the firmware zip and move it to an SD card as it comes, do not touch anything in the folder

Once in twrp and the SD card set, we will enter the HWOTA folder and we will touch in the lower right where it says install img, once touched there we will look for this file EMUI-v9-NoCheck-Recovery.img

we touch and flash like Erecovery, and we slide, once finished, we touch the lower left part and we put it install zip, and we look for the zip that is called, EMUI-9-externalSD-Firmwareflash.zip and we slide, once I do the phone it will restart and begin the downgrade to EMUI 9, any questions comment

Hi guys .... I seem to be having a problem with my hermes for a while now ...

Over the past couple of months i have been flashing various Roms namely roms from MRH , DVH ( pdaViet ) , CRC's and PdaCorner ..

The problem i am facing is related to audio on the phone ... once flashed the roms works fine for a couple of days and all of a sudden there is no audio output from the phone ( phone doesnt ring , not audio output from Media player or coreplayer etc , tapping sounds ) but i can attend calls normally thru the phone microphone ...

then the sound come back suddenly ( either from a alarm i set etc . ) only to disapper once again after a day ....

Please let me know if any of u have faced a problem similar to this and have any soultion ...

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] OhioYJ:
What was the goal when you started down the path of installing TWRP? It seems like you might have been part way there if you got that far?

There are Lineage install instructions here. <-- More importantly Odin Download if you don't already have it.

If you decide to try Lineage, the latest builds require new firmware found here. It can also be obtained by returning to stock and updating.

Anyways If you are in TWRP, in the restart menu there is an option to restart to download. If will reboot to a black screen, just hit the power button once when the screen goes off. Before you do this, you need to obtain stock firmware, from somewhere. (Sammobile or something like that) You will also need Odin, link above.

As with anything proceed at your own risk.

Once you have those files, you can extract the firmware. They will be labeled and go into those spots in Odin, AP, BL, CSC, then you should be able to hit start. I'm going from memory, as I haven't had to restore mine since I got it (and looking at the files in stock firmware file).
