How can I get root again after flashing into twrp, please tell me thank you. I tried to patch the boot after flashing twrp, but after flashing in twrp, it was gone. But to flash into twrp, root is gone, I can't have root and twrp at the same time
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Captain_Throwback:
Flash the Magisk apk in TWRP.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] chrisrevoltes:
Im sure, there is no need to fix anything. I have TWRP and LOS running since January.

Its more that flashing LOS overwrites TWRP with LOS Recovery.

Read here how to circumvent that. I'm not that deep into recoveries so im not sure if that has any downsides.

Whats the correct way to update TWRP on this device (or any other A/B device)?

Boot to the new version and flash it?

Hi

is it possible to install TWRP using a CLI command in the adb shell after booting from the TWRP image?

Wrong permission after backup all backup directory dont read via bootable system.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ianseer:
I've come from pocox3 pro. So, i was struggling a few hours when installing TWRP for this device...

1. As similar to other android devices. First, we need to unlock this device. This one, makes me confused... looking a way for unlocking bootloader first (usually using CMD but I can't find it) and it seems it need the official unlock tool from asus site am i correct? this one.

2. you need to go to "Fastboot" which is bootloader that have Big Start button not the "fastbootd" with D with small ui menu (it confuses me though) and after that it works flawlessly...

3. after rebooted to TWRP (automatically) go to advanced > "Flash current TWRP" it will make the TWRP permanent.

Correct me if I'm wrong please, so other user like me can be helped too next time...

Thanks a lot for your work
[ASUS ZenFone 8] bnsmb:
>>seems it need the official unlock tool from asus site am i correct? this one.

yes

for installing TWRP:

- boot the phone into the bootloader (fastbootd is NOT the bootloader)

if adb is enabled use "adb reboot bootloader"

- boot the phone from the TWRP image using fastboot on the PC e, .g.

sudo fastboot boot /data/backup/ASUS_ZENFONE8/twrp/twrp-3.6.2_12-0-I006D.img

- while booted into TWRP open the Advanced Menu and select the Menu entry "Flash Current TWRP"

to install TWRP into the boot partition

Hi,

i am using stock and TWRP 3.7.0_12-0-I006D, i've updated phone firmware to the latest UL-ASUS_I006D-ASUS-31.1010.0411.138 (Android 12)

- When fresh, everything works well - i can decrypt backup and restore data partition. np.

- After installing some new apps, and maybe updating google sub-system -> there is twrp error 255 when backuping data partition, and the process ends incomplete.

-I did update google TTS and download offline TTS voice. I am not using google play / did not set google account.

-Then the backup of data partition was error free and OK.

Edit: After many tries :] those google fonts and folders in /data/fonts/ are atuto-created after finishing initial phone setup and going online for the first time. (Android 12)

As Z8 was my new device, i upgraded offline (cca. 6+ upgrades) from old A11 to latest A12. Maybe this is the reason i can't backup data partition with those google initialized fonts. (created with different encryption keys?)

I have backup before finishing google/phone setup. i debloated phone from google, firewalled what i can so there is no autogenerated g.fonts in folder and i can backup data partition.

Hello guys,

maybe someone can help, at the moment I am running LOS 20 microg (LOS4microG)version with no TWRP and working magisk, so I wanted to make a fresh install with LOS 20 only and TWRP.

But all TWRP versions I downloaded are not working, all I get after fastboot boot twrp.img is the ASUS image forever.... I tried all 3 versions from the TWRP site, but I am not sure if the versions are the problem...

Grateful for all suggestions.

just for the records:

After dirty flashing an installed OmniROM 13 with OmniROM 14 the current official TWRP 3.7.0.12-0 can still access the data partition.

The "problem" only exists after a clean installation of OmniROM 14 (= with factory reset).

I tried it, sadly with the same result. Asus logo forever and no TWRP (I even removed all fingerprints and locks before) I lack the knowledge why this does not work, as I wrote LOS20 4microG + magisk running fine (recovery is LOS20 from 12/23)

Any further suggestions very welcome, thanks!

I can confirm that the TWRP image https://build.twrp.me/twrp-3.7.0_12-1_TEST-I006D.img does not boot if the LineageOS 20 is installed on the ASUS Zenfone 8.

(dito for the official TWRP images for the ASUS Zenfone 8).

I created a HowTo with instructions to create a TWRP image that will boot if the LineageOS 20 is installed some time ago already -- see here

https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-use-twrp-if-lineageos-20-x-is-installed.4599721/

or here:

FYI, new official TWRP has been uploaded based on the TEST version posted here. Since there's also a zip installer available, this can be flashed in Android if you're already rooted, using Magisk/EXKM/FKM or another zip installer program, if fastboot boot isn't working on your ROM.

If there are any issues, please let me know and provide logs as indicated in the OP.

They're not needed for TWRP to function. Not sure why you think they're missing?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] bnsmb:
Hi

>>They're not needed for TWRP to function.

That might be. I use the bootctl binary in my scripts to automatically install and customize the Android OS: I reinstall my dev phone very often, so it doesn't make sense to do this manually.

It's not a big deal for me - I created a new TWRP image based on the new version with some other binaries that I need anyway, so I was able to add the bootctl binary as well.

>> Not sure why you think they're missing?

well, because they were part of the previous TWRP version.

In this case, it's helpful to check Github and see what's changed since the last official release:

Just wondering which of the changes in the new version might be the reason that the new TWRP image now works with Android 14.

Hello

I tried to verify the signature on the download for ASUS Zenfone 8 (I006D) and it failed for both america and EU download servers. I verified that the public key is the most recent one from the website.

The verification failure affects the current version 3.7.1_12.0 of both the zip- and the img-file. I checked the older version 3.7.0_12.1 to exclude a false positive. The older version signature verifies like a charm.

I tried the download over a different internet connection and got the same result.

Can anyone confirm this issue or do I have an error in my toolchain/is there an updated public key?

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Fumetsu_Guritto:
Hello all!

I'm switching from Apple to de-googled Android due to privacy concerns - in doing so, I'm looking for an app equivalent to iOS' Notes app.

The iOS Notes app has features that I utilize almost on a daily basis:

Sharing/Collaboration with another user.

Pinning notes so they sit at the top of the list of notes.

Locking notes so that they cannot be accidentally deleted.

Searchable - will produce a list of all notes that have specific word(s) I search for.

*Bonus: It has a security feature. Whether setting a code on each note or on the app itself upon opening.

This is a de-googled device so I don't plan to use Google or Windows apps/services.

Any recommendations would be appreciated!
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I use ColorNote to save bookmarks (can open them directly from there) and other references when not using word documents.

ColorNotes has a search feature although I haven't had a need to test it. Easy to cut&paste to and from. No ads. Can be backed up to the SD card and with a little ingenuity backed up to hdd, etc. If you do use it, save a installable copy just in case to future proof it.

I've used Apple but loathe those plain Janes.

Never used that Apple app though.

Note: Apple delayed their kiddy porn scan program for now because of the PR disaster it caused. Who the hell would trust a company that even considered putting ratoutware in their phones? Apple still might implement it next year.

Clearly they've been spending too much time in bed with the CCP🤣

Ok I was given a phone samsung from a lady that changed to a new company.

The phone she gave me has no sim card and has been resotred to start.

What th woman who gave it to me and I both do not know is if the phone is carries locked and how to gey it unlocked.

I have googled and it seems there are a lot of unlock code generators that charge a fee.

Can anyone tell me first is there a free one second if not one that is not some kind of a scam.

The phone says it is a Samsung SM-G920A.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Have the last owner sign in on the phone and delete their Google and Samsung accounts on it.

You can then do a factory reset and configure it as you please.

That's the easy way... any other way will be much harder.

Maybe I am not explaining this right.

The samsung phone has been reset so it is like it is a new phone.

It was a ATT carrier and I want to use it on a differant carrier so I need to unlock the carrier.

So I am looking for a way to unlock the carrie.

So what I am looking for is a

Unlock Code Generator.​

Is there one that is used and not a scam?
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
The easiest way is to have AT&T unlock it.

If there's no outstanding balance on the account they should. Usually the account holder does this, not sure how this will work in your case.

AT&T can still/could have blacklist(ed) the phone's imei even if you use a 3rd party unlocker.

Probably best to work it out with AT&T. They are very intolerant of delinquent accounts though. If a balance was owed by the previous owner they will probably want it paid to unlock it. They just want their money. If no money is owed you should be alright.

As much as I know... I may be mistaken. Never had to play with this.

So I rooted and flashed Lineage. The phone was locked with the stock T-Mobile firmware before I flashed the custom ROM. I guess I assumed this would carrier unlock the phone. Was I wrong?
[Moto G 5G Questions & Answers] Nub_238:
Rooting and installing a different Operating system does not SIM unlock the device. It's recommended to SIM unlock the device before rooting it or installing a different O.S. There are several services you can use to get a SIM unlock code. It will likely cost a small fee. Some services charge around $8 others closer to $22.
