Thanks for the reply @ThE_MarD!

Just to see if I understand the process, I'd need to install Magisk (and it will be placed instead of Lineage recovery, right?) and then boot into LI?

Would I need to do something else to get SU acess that is required to run Franco?

One thing that I couldn't do yet on this phone is getting it rooted

EDIT: Installed Magisk and Franco, testing out now. Thanks!

Hi. Any updates? I have the latest Lineage, I am on roaming and still no roaming data.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo @mombic , sorry for the delayed response. I got busy and then forgot. I checked your logs and I see a bunch of errors with Google Services Frameworks and even Facebook app constantly crashing, complaining about some missing blob. I'd recommend backing up everything important off of your device and then performing a factory reset and a format data as well. Then install LineageOS in the same manner as the installation instructions on the first post and for GApps I only recommend MindTheGapps (same as the LOS team only does) and then see how it goes.

@JuanTamqd21 , tbh I've never tried so I'm unsure how it works for A/B devices like ours so you'll have to research that yourself sorry
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] JuanTamqd21:
I dirty flashed the latest LOS 18.1 over December 13 build and this is what I did.

Reboot to recovery

Flash the latest build

reboot

and now it get stucked at rboot animation

edit: it seems that encryption do something here.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo @JuanTamqd21 , in the first post I have instructions for manually updating builds. Our device is A/B partitioned without a dedicated recovery partition so the instructions are different. You missed the reboot to recovery and reflash GApps so your GApps package is corrupt. You will need to wipe data and reflash your GApps and then start over.

In the future please follow the instructions in the first post or use the Lineage Updater which can properly make a backup of your GApps and include it in the OTA.

PLEASE HELP!!

I always fail to boot after restoring an encrypted system in TWRP.

Here is my process:

1) I did the factory reset and formated the data partition in TWRP, reboot to TWRP, then

2) installed LOS 18.1 (which has encryption and enforcing SELinux by default), flash TWRP zip file, reboot, do the initial setup wizard (without lockscreen security), then

3) reboot to TWRP right away and do the backup(boot, system image, vendor image, dtbo, data partitions) without any problem.

4) factory reset and format data partition, reboot to TWRP, then restore the backup (without any error/warning), then reboot

5) after "Powered by Android" logo showed up for several seconds, the phone reboot it self into TWRP, and the TWRP shows as following:

{

Android Rescue Party trigger! Possible solutions?

Either:

1. Wipe caches, and/or

2. Format data, and/or

3, Clean-flash your ROM.

The reported problem is:

'--reason=set_policy_failed: /data/misc'

}

6) when I reboot to system, I always fail to boot unless I factory reset the phone.

I've tried several ROMs (LineageOS, crDroid, ArrowOS) with encryption by default, ALL of them FAIL to boot. Then I try installing ROM and flashing "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt" to disalbe the encryption and Dm-Verity, then I do the backup and restore in TWRP, It restore and boot successfully. So the issue must because of encryption or Dm-Verity.

Please help! I really want to use an encrypted system with working TWRP nand backup & restore function. Many thanks!
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo @wovo88, please check the TWRP thread for the guide on how to do nandroid backup/restore. Devices with File-Based Encryption are different than legacy Full-Disk Encryption methods.

Thank you @ThE_MarD, I "DO" follow every steps in "nandroid backup/restore guide" in the TWRP thread, I've tried for several times, but it's just not working for me.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] NowWired:
Its a long time since your Post, but you never posted anywhere again on this Forum. So i suppose, you still have trouble ?

When i got it right, you try to Install a new Version of OS, like LOS 18.1 , right ? If so:

The "nandroid backup/restore guide" is made for an allready installed, used & running System, just to make a Backup [and restore it (on exact the same system).]

You just can't restore any Backup from another OS !

You have to start with a clean / empty LOS 18.1 and install everything new.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] oky82:
Hello,

after my S9 got stuck and I had to reboot the device, I am not able to connect to a mobile network. No SIM is detected and the IMEI for both SIMs are "unknown" I already read about a missing EFS partition (backup is avalable) and a wrong baseband, but every hint of fixing this problem seems not to work. A complete restore did not work, I am not able to go back to stock rom (Error message: CHECK FAILED (BOOTLOADER)). So I already think, that it is bricked now....

My phone is a G960F, LineageOS 17.1 (TWRP 3.4.0).

Maybe someone can give me another hint.

Thanks in advance

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] Lartsch:
Hey all,

some tips on getting ViPER4Android to work on your S21 / OneUI 3.1.

Disable Sound Alive via ADB or a root solution of your choice (not sure if this is actually needed, but I recommend to do so). You can use the Dolby Atmos Magisk module by repey6 if you still want Atmos.

Install the Audio Modification Library module from Magisk

Install the ViPER4Android module from Magisk

Go to /sdcard/ViPER4Android and install the apk that the Magisk module has put there

Open ViPER4Android, grant root access and let the driver install (your phone will reboot immediately)

After the reboot, go to Magisk and disable the Audio Modication Library and reboot again

After the reboot, open ViPER4Android and install the driver again

After the reboot, re-enable Audio Modification Library and once again... reboot.

Now go to ViPER4Android settings and enable Legacy mode (you will have an abnormal driver status otherwise).

You should be good now.

You do not need to set selinux to permissive. Yep, 4 reboots to make it work, but hey - good sound!

Works with Ainur and Dolby Atmos as long as you use AML. I recommend to do this installation procedure after you have installed the other sound mods.

Note

: If you only want to use ViPER, no other sound mods, it might be possible to just perform step 1, 3, 4, 5 and 9 (not tested). If not, do all steps.

If it still does not work you can try to add the Audio Compatibility Patch module. There is also another thread here, providing useful information.

Best regards,

lartsch

I managed to break my head unit changing the wrong factory setting.

Can anyone with a working one of these please go into factory settings (password 126) and export the dmcu settings.
