You're absolutely correct about the dangers in following instructions posted by who knows who. I'll go further and say when it comes to root and associated items stay away from anything posted on a site other than XDA. In many cases even if the instructions were correct at some point in time they may well be outdated now.

I haven't rooted yet for a few reasons yet but will, hopefully sometime very soon. In the meantime I can state the following:

They're is no need to modify props. Modifying props to identify as a different phone would only be required for custom ROMs that don't handle it themselves (or some non-certified Chinese phones, which doesn't apply here). If you're running stock just leave that portion alone. And, if I'm not mistaken (although not 100% certain) I think safetynet-fix takes care of that for you in any case.

You will definitely need kdragOn/safetynet-fix.

Hopefully that's all you need.

I'm not sure which version of Magisk you'll need. Unless you know what you're doing and how to get out of trouble I recommend staying away from the current alphas, they're extremely cutting edge and you can expect problems.

Best best is to check the following threads and see what's going on:

Actually see this post and the 2 posts immediately following

https://xdaforums.com/t/magisk-general-support-discussion.3432382/post-85659963

That should pretty much cover things for the moment. If nobody else (@hfam ?) has done it by the time I get around to rooting I'll write something up specific for the 5a.
[Google Pixel 5a] Deadmau-five:
I only mentioned what works for me since there was no step-by-step guide.

Dangerous how? Doing any mods to your phone is "dangerous". I fail to see how this is more so than others. Modifying your phone is risky.

If it didn't work I wouldn't have posted this guide. I only mentioned the steps that I took. It's not really a guide, just how I passed safety net.

But, my 5a has still been working great since then. GPay included.
[Google Pixel 5a] hfam:
Just a quick note to say I just finished with everything (new Pixel 5a 5G, rooted + Safety net, restored all my apps, etc) and it's a flawless victory, ALL banking apps work great, SafetyNet passes, no hiccups.

I'd be happy to craft up a step by step and post it if there's some interest. It's not often I get to give back to this outstanding community, so it's the least I can do jumping on the opportunity. UFC 266 Main card is just starting, so I'll get started right after the fight and post it here in this thread.

Great to see ya again @jcmm11! Coming back to root a new phone feels like a family reunion, so great to see many of you active folks still here helping out!!

[Google Pixel 5a] nsoult:
Thanks for the write-up @hfam, it's good to know that some of the steps that i tried aren't really necessary, like using props config or hiding the actual magisk app.

Appreciate you!
[Google Pixel 5a] hfam:
Awww, thanks! Glad to do it and really hope it helps some folks tackle rooting their phones and passing SN!

Rooted with magisk v.23 - flashed zip as a module

So has anyone installed the October update yet?
[Google Pixel 5a] hfam:
Yep, good to go. I used the same method I shared above.
[Google Pixel 5a] peikojose:
Is this working with Android 12? Which Magisk version to use?
[Google Pixel 5a] tintn00+xda:
This method did not work for Android 12. I updated my rooted phone to android 12 OTA. It returned to stock. I followed the method above to patch the factory boot.img file with magisk. After flashing my phone in bootloader with the patched boot.img, my phone will not reboot. says:

failed to load/verify boot images

Any advice? My Magisk is v23. Do I need to use a beta version?
[Google Pixel 5a] tintn00+xda:
Poking around in this thread, it seems that android 12 root is a much more involved process, requiring factory wipe and additional steps.

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-flash-magisk-on-android-12.4242959
[Google Pixel 5a] TheSayaMan:
As you stated, you are correct. You need to perform a full wipe or flash the factory image with a wipe and then root works fine and phone boots. Tried myself and works fine.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] timg11:
I'm following the Magisk guide in this thread

My Pixel 3XL is running Android 10 - Build Number QP1A.190711.020.C3

My Pixel 3XL was under "Case II" you have the image.

I downloaded the factory image from Google as: crosshatch-qp1a.190711.020.c3-factory-59b11ce9.zip

Inside that ZIP there was another ZIP named: image-crosshatch-qp1a.190711.020.c3.zip

Inside that ZIP I found the file boot.img which I extracted and copied to the Pixel 3XL. The size is 65536 kbytes.

This file matches the structure and name of the example shown in the image in the thread.

I sideloaded Magisk-v23.0.apk and ran Install.

When Magisk 23.0 Installation patches this boot.img file, it reports:

-Device Platform: amr64-v8a
-Installing: 23.0 (23000)
!Installation Failed
!Process Error

At the top level of the outer ZIP file, there is also a file named "bootloader-crosshatch-b1c1-0.2-5672671.img" with size 8552 kbytes. Which is the correct boot image file to patch? That looks different, but possibly is the right one for the Pixel 3XL?

If I have the correct boot.img file, what other issues could cause this failure?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] timg11:
I found the issue. With nothing substantial found in searches, and no responses, I figure it must be something unique in my configuration. After randomly trying things, it occurred to me that my directory name was long.

After we all got past OS filename length restrictions a couple decades ago, I now try to use descriptive names. I created a directory for the unpatched boot image in /storage/emulated/0/Download named "BootImageOriginal_crosshatch_QP1A.190711.020.C3"

So the full path to the image was "/storage/emulated/0/Download/BootImageOriginal_crosshatch_QP1A.190711.020.C3/boot.img"

Whether it is the length, use of underscores, or multiple "." characters, this was the issue.

By moving the file to /storage/emulated/0/Download/boot.img, Magisk was able to patch successfully and wrote the magisk_patched.....img file to the same directory.

I noticed the following messages at the end of magisk_install_log_....

cp: can't preserve ownership of 'busybox': Operation not permitted
cp: can't preserve ownership of 'magisk32': Operation not permitted
cp: can't preserve ownership of 'magisk64': Operation not permitted
cp: can't preserve ownership of 'magiskboot': Operation not permitted
cp: can't preserve ownership of 'magiskinit': Operation not permitted

Again, I don't find much when I search on these messages, so I guess they are a "normal" result, given the phone is not rooted at the time the patching occurs?

Edit - I completed the process with fastboot flash of the patched image, and after rebooting, Magisk is installed and working.

PS: I was wondering why it was recommended to use adb pull to copy the patched image, rather than just use the USB File Transfer function. I copied the file both ways, and a binary comparison indicates no differences, so use whichever you prefer.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erany1:
Hi all,

I will be very grateful to anyone who would have a solution for this issue.

is there a way, any way of controlling Bluetooth in mi band smart watches (mi band 5 in my case)?

I have stopped using mine because I don't want a 24/7 transmitting bracelet on my hand.

so if anyone can come up with a root, break or any other method that will finally enable a toggle option for this... please share
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vincele6:
Hello, don't you have a 24/7 transmitting phone in your pocket ?

Just a joke, I also disable everything transmitting when not in actual use, so I understand. My phone is in my pocket, only when it can not be on a shelf.

And a way to disable BT transmission would help with battery use anyways.

Anybody else having issues with twitter on the flip 3? I keep getting logged out of the app on mine. And when I try to log back in via 2FA, it just returns back to the login page.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Stuart R:
I've seen this behavior with mine and the previous Flip 5G. Have to kill the running Twitter process and try again. It eventually works. Don't have a clue why this is happening either.

Good to hear it's not just me then. I tend to just leave it for a bit and eventually it starts to work again. Weird bug.
[About XDA developers] evilmonkey1987:
Hi,

I always found the order of the sections on the forum (Wallaby, Blue Angel, etc.) a little weird. It seems to be chronological order by release dates, but then it isn't (i.e. Dream, Blackstone are above of the Polaris). Is there any rationale behind the current order? If not, can it be fixed so the order is chronological. I would further suggest that new phones be placed on top as opposed to the bottom. Just a suggestion.

Thanks. :D

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King-ish:
I know, it's an oxymoron for some of these apps/services, but unfortunately, I need them for business purposes. I am seeing many out-of-date apps and posts about this topic and wondered if anyone has any current suggestions.

I'm using Aurora Store, Aurora Droid, and Hermit. Hermit isn't always a great solution if I need to be in an app multiple times a day and I need to receive notifications. I will continue to use Hermit for apps that I only have to log into periodically, like Banks apps, but the experience isn't always the best if I'm in apps multiple times a day.

- Gmail - Migrated to ProtonMail, but still using FairMail to access Gmail

- Twitter - Hermit is an option, but I wouldn't mind testing some apps.

- Facebook - Currently using Hermit, but I think an app may work better.

- Instagram - Same ^

- What's App - I have it installed on another phone using a VoIP phone number but have WhatsApp Web To Go installed on my Android Phone. If there is another Privacy/Open Source alternative, I would like to try it.

- Telegram - Nekogram X

- Discord - Aliucord (I haven't tried it, but I will)

[Chromebooks] gascomm:
So, my trusty Chromebook Flip has reached it's end of life and hasn't received updated for months... what next?

Ideally, i'd like to replace the OS with Gallium or Cloudready or any of the managed ports but would also be interested in making it a Linux onlly machine.

I've removd the write protection screw from the motherboard and enabled developer mode but am now a bit lost as to what to do next. I got as far as trying to run mrchromebox.tech/firmware-util only to receive the message that ARM devices aren't supported. Eeek! Is there an ARM supported means of flashing a fresh BIOS which allows booting a new OS?

If anyone has repurposed a C100P after end of life i'd love to hear what stable OS alternatives are available for the flip - ideally ones that can be run from boot.
[Chromebooks] Sylgrant:
I am in a simular situation and hope someone out there has a tricked out C100P.
[Chromebooks] gascomm:
I gave up waiting and sold it for £70 on eBay. It's Pixelbook Go replacement was chosen primarily for its long life of updates. Shame, I did love everything about the Flip.
[Chromebooks] lonelylinuxguy:
The answer you're looking for is PrawnOS: https://github.com/SolidHal/PrawnOS

It is based on Debian 11 and works well on the ASUS C100P. (It also works with the ASUS C201.)

It is the most up-to-date version of Linux (Gallium is not updated since 2019) for the C100P.

I personally use it with the XFCE Desktop, but if you like the interface of ChromeOS, go with Gnome.

In the open issues, it can have a problem to boot if you use encryption while installing on SD card.

I installed it on the eMMC, which flushes away ChromeOS (which gives you more space, I have something like 11,50 Gb free after initial install, on a total 16 Gb capacity !).

Go with the armhf image, since the C100P has an ARM Cortex A17, which is a 32 bits, 4/4, 1, 80 GHz processor.

This image is Libre, so it is not blobby out-of-the-box. (More on that on the Github page.)

I had to buy myself an Atheros 9271 WiFi dongle to use WiFi (monitor and injection mode included ;) ), and I also bought an Ethernet-to-USB adaptor.

Bluethoot will not work without a dongle, too.

It's a systemd distro, but, hey, it's still better than ChromeOS !

For pentesters out there: installing the complete Wifite dependencies made my installation crash a couple of times ( I cannot boot again after it) , so it's better to avoid it.

I had no problems with aircrack-ng/airodump-ng nor with mdk4.
[Chromebooks] lonelylinuxguy:
Something I didn't considered when writing this comment: there is NO REPOSITORY for security upgrades in PrawnOS !

I will give away or sell my C100P, or maybe just turn it into a media player for Kodi.

But it's kinda sad that a great Github project like this lacks security upgrades.

Maybe it's the wake up call to get away from Chromebooks and other devices that are built to end in the trash bin :/

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stacalicious:
Back in 2014 my device stopped charging with USB. I just happened to find it the other day and put it on a wireless charger and lo and behold my Nexus is alive again. Back then I used to do a lot of flashing ROMs but I'm very rusty now. It has a custom rom called Vanir on it and is rooted and has twrp. If I just download a custom rom to the device will I be able to go into recovery and install it? My laptop just died on me and I can't use it to flash the ROM. I just want to try something different for fun.

Thanks!

Edit: the USB won't work even if my laptop hadn't died.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ev-olution_net:
Download custom recovery to internal memory. Make sure it's not saved in to system directory, but internal sdcard directory. Boot in to recovery mode, wipe cache, then chose install and find your custom ROM. Press install. Make sure custom ROM is definitely made for your device and was confirmed to work without any issues. USB stops working for few reasons. First and easiest to fix is damaged USB socket. You can replace it by buying a new or second hand one. Second reason is short on OTG activation pin. If its's shorted to GND, USB charging will not work and no communication with computer possible. There is a lot of possibilities where this short could have happened. On my 3G device this happened under main processor, and the only way I managed to revive it was injecting 1V to OTG activation pin, which somehow made short disappear.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Sledutah:
I installed your ROM this morning, but had to load another one for a few different reasons. Here are my observations.

- Very slow to finalize (install cabs) at first startup. I kept thinking that it was locked up, but it finally finished after about 20-30 minutes.

- I didn't have any problems with soft-resetting when coming out of standby

- Did have problems with audio manager (you stated that already)

- I like the theme (blue)

- Semi Slow, but not that bad. Omapclock would take care of the speed. It was about the same as my original wm5 rom.

- Only 16M file memory left after install! Program memory looks fine.

- No office program: Main reason I can't test it anymore right now. I need word/excel for work.

- I had a hell of a time loading another rom. It kept locking up and would only reset to your rom. I had to manually put it in bootloader to finally load the original tmobile rom.

Overall, great start :)

I've been trying my hand at cooking a rom, but can't even get close. So good for you to get one up and running :D Keep it up and I'll try again on another version.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] overlordjd:
This is one of the Best looking roms I've seen so far.

1. Wifi will not turn off.

2. No Screen/key lock feture

3. No office

4. problems playing videos in WMP or HTC album

5. slow

6. Reset issue as you indicated (went to my power management and stop the device from going into sleep mode for now.)

Despite all the issues, I still don't want to remove the Rom just yet.

Great job cooking up this one.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dielo:
it really took a while to finish, but it doesnt take me 20-30 mins to finish. most of M2D files are in extended ROM. i'm still having a hard time trimming down the files. M2d alone is a 12mb cab yet i've managed to trim it down to 5-6+mb. as i recall it was divided into 2+mb oem and a cab placed at the extended rom. opera is 4+mb cab file, but when i convert it to oem, it becomes around 8-9mb.

it was weird that after some hours, my wizard is running at normal speed except touch scrolling. programs are opening and functioning at normal speed

there's no more space left in the ROM. but still this is a work in progress.

thanks for the feedback.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dielo:
first of all thanks for testing the rom and for the feedbacks.

regarding wifi, hmmm i haven't tried it yet but i will look up to it.

no screen/keylock - i didn't pay too much attention on this one. i'll see what i can do about this.

no office since there's no more space left. but im still triming down file size to save more space and probably gain additional speed.

haven't play any videos yet.

looking for some way to gain more speed.

reset issue, i'm doing the same thing as u did.but its weird that after a couple of hours, my wizard is running normally except for touchflo which is still slow.

I really like the look of your today screen. Did you use the Touchflo 2d manilla?? I'd love to put it onto my today screen...I've heard it is still beta and not working well yet.

I'm going to have to wait to test this one out as my usb is acting up again, and I am trying to save it until I can get a repair done. Cosmetically it looks great, probably one of the prettiest roms I've seen. Once you get the bugs out, I look forward to taking it on a test run. I think it has great potential.
