[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] RavenY2K3:
Well from my experience between the other radio's available at the minute (excluding .32) .28 is by far the best from the tests if done, I've still got my Kaiser and I get both side-by-side and test the new radio's for fix, accuracy etc...

In my job,it involves a lot of driving in the Derbyshire country side in the UK, a lot of winding roads and .28 seem's to be the best, but what i was trying to suggest in my last post, is maybe there's something in the Original Vodafone UK ROM, settings and the like, that maybe the reason why users of the stock vodafone ROM, don't display the same sort of GPS problems, or experince them less, that other users experince?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jcespi2005:
Would be a good idea to have a dump of this vodafone UK stock ROM to take a look ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] RavenY2K3:
I think you may already have it, you've made a reconstructed one over on your "How to Reconstruct a Raphael Dumped ROM & Reconstructed ROMs" thread.

I can make a fresh dump if you prefer though.

[General Questions and Answers] MachCoyote:
So, the Freestyle Libre 2 is a diabetes management app that pairs with the freestyle libre 2 sensor which lets me read my bloodsugar. I have a Google Pixel 3 rooted with the latest version of magisk right now. Previously I had used magiskhide to hide my root from the app and it worked fine, but now that magiskhide is removed the app no longer works and crashes upon startup (root detection). I have universal safetynet fix installed with zygisk enabled but that doesn't solve the problem. Is there any way I can hide magisk itself + my root from the app now? (I have the magisk app hidden btw, that doesn't solve it). It's pretty crucial that im able to use this app.
[General Questions and Answers] canavar147:
I've been using the same app to monitor my glucose level. Had the problem too with the new magisk. I found myself the solution. Do these things:

- Enable Zygisk

- Install Shamiko magisk module and reboot

- Go to settings in magisk and configure denylist to add FL2 app

- Leave denylist disabled or shamiko module won't work

- Hide magisk app with a new name

Afterwards Freestyle libre app should work without a problem.

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] ChuckStein123:
Anyone have an odd "tick" or "loose part" noise (rattle) that comes from the corner of the main (back) camera. I just got this Mi 11 Lite 5G Global phone 1mo ago and do not recall hearing any "tick" or "loose part" (rattle) until today. Kinda weird, I hear what sounds like a loose part in the phone when you lightly tap that corner of the phone. The sound is like a loose part tapping on the inside of the case plastic. I see nothing loose on the outside, so it must be coming from the inside. What could be loose? Is this common?

Greetings!

Does anyone have a method to completely and permanently turn off the Pixel 5 cell radio, while leaving WiFi and Bluetooth intact?

Physical modification/destruction of the chip is also an option, provided that rest of the system is intact.

Thank you.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] elong7681:
What is the reason if you don't mind me asking?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] ali-baba-13:
My idea is to use this device at home, only on my home WiFi, connected to Internet always through VPN. No voice services at all. Actually, no connection to any mobile network at all (not disposing location on any other info because of the privacy reasons).

Using the Airplane mode on/off switch might not be the best solution, because of the possibility to unintentionally toggling the switch or any other app/OS toggling the switch.

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] thatsupnow:
I would think if you popped the phone open and ripped the antenna out that should take care of what your looking to do. Unless the antenna grabs wifi too??🤔🤔
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] ali-baba-13:
I consider detaching cellular antenna from cellular radio chip as possibly "most viable" hardware intervention, as well. Though, I would need more detailed info about hardware layout of Pixel 5 board and connectors. The teardown video from @elong7681 gives a nice overview of the process of disassembling Pixel 5, but doesn't contain details I need.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] elong7681:
You should be able to Google it or look on YouTube for the information you are looking for.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] AlexKarimov:
What about in the service menu? Can you disable something from there?

*#*#4636#*#*
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] elong7681:
Yes you can turn off the radio power.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] ali-baba-13:
Thank you. I will check it. Though, I am not sure it is a permanent solution.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Your best solution would be software based. Like most contemporary smartphones, the Pixel 5 uses an integrated system-on-chip which includes the modem. It's extremely ill-advised to attempt any destructive method of disabling wireless connectivity as you will likely damage the other components (WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS) as well.

Turning off the mobile radio in the service menu does not disable it; it turns back on as soon as you leave the menu.

My personal opinion: Simply don't subscribe to a wireless carrier. Regardless of whether the device is active, no network will allow the device to provision without a valid SIM, and with the exception of emergency calls, will prevent data and voice traffic.

Or, sell the Pixel and buy a Wifi-only tablet.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] ali-baba-13:
Thank you for your feedback and the advise.

My initial (as well as actual) idea has been to have a Wifi-only device. However, the only such device (that has a shape/dimensions like a phone) in existence is Apple iPod Touch.

My current system is based on Pixel with GrapheneOS and I find it pretty satisfying from privacy perspective. The ideal device (for home use) would be the same device, but without cellular radio (which is why I have requested help in this forum).

I am (re)searching Internet for a hardware layout of Pixel 5 board and connectors. I take your advice for not performing any destructive method for disabling cellular radio. My idea is to make a non-destructive hardware intervention (such as disconnection of the antenna and/or power supply to the cellular radio chip, if it exist as a separate/discrete unit).
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
That's what I'm saying, the baseband unit is all-in-one. Mobile network, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc are all integrated into the same device, and if I'm not mistaken, is in fact packaged into the SoC itself.

It turns out that if you disable mobile radio power through the service menu, it does in fact totally disable the mobile radio. The device will still identify a SIM that is inserted, but it just won't be able to access the network. On mine, it displays as Verizon - No network connection, with the signal meter completely empty.

So, from a software perspective, that seems like a viable option.

Again I would avoid doing anything destructive simply because you may wish to sell the device someday, so the best solution is one that can be easily reversed without altering the characteristics of the device. As far as I know the antenna is a trace on the board, so the only way to disconnect it is to cut the trace. Problem is, attempting to fix it would change the electrical characteristics of the antenna and therefore affect performance.

I understand wanting to use the device as WiFi-only; what privacy concerns do you have in using a device that is mobile capable, especially if you can disable the radio via a software function?

Side note: this is posted in the wrong section, this thread will be moved to Pixel 5 Q&A
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] ali-baba-13:
The concern is the communication of the mobile phone with the base station. There are a lot of communications on broadcast control channels going on even if you do not have SIM. I am not sure that cellular radio can be fully and permanently disabled by software.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Well, without a Stingray-type device, it's impossible to know exactly what communications are going on. However, from a mobile carrier perspective (I used to be a tower tech), if you don't have a subscription and your device isn't provisioned, the only thing you can do is place emergency calls - but that depends on the locale. Here in the United States, all carriers are required to permit emergency calls from any device that is able to communicate with their network.

That being said, from my testing, disabling the radio through the Service Menu seems to be effective and prevents any mobile communication whatsoever.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] andybones:
I agree with @V0latyle -- Disabling "Mobile radio power" + no sim card + airplane mode for good measure, will be sufficient.

You can always go beast mode and take the risk of permanent damage by flashing, say a Pixel 6 radio.img.. though I can't suggest this.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
I'm not sure the bootloader would accept baseband images from other devices, but that's an interesting thought

What happened

Attempted to update from Android 11 > 12 using Magisk, following the steps here. This resulted in a bootloop.

I attempted to re-flash my old patched magisk boot image that I still had, and while it does boot, I have the following issues:

The issues

-I have no sound (which is at a system level and not a hardware level, I get errors depending which app I try to use, and videos will not play unless I mute them)

-I am not rooted

-I cannot update using the Android system updater; I get error "Something went wrong. To finish updating, restart your device". Restarting does not do anything (Note: It says "Update to Android 11" on the prompt, even though it says I'm currently using Android 11 RQ1A.210205.004)

-Upon boot it says "System UI is not responding", but I haven't noticed any issues related to this other than the popup.

What I've tried

-I tried patching a Magisk 12 boot image and flashing that with fastboot. When I do this, it boots to the fastboot menu with "Error Boot Prepare". I used Sunfish SQ1A, non-Verizon/non-Vodaphone versions, which I'm pretty sure is correct for my non-5g ATT Pixel4a. I also attempted the November release of 12, same results.

-Doing some research, it sounds like the "no sound, can't update" issue is fairly common when an update fails. A common fix I saw was to wipe the cache partition. When I booted to recovery mode, it says "No commands", so I cannot wipe from there. When I attempted "fastboot erase cache" I got error "FAILED (remove: 'Not allowed to erase (cache)'). Every search I did for this error says to enable OEM Unlocking in dev options, which was already enabled.

Not sure what else to try from here. I would be happy to either update to 12, or to keep 11 and just get my audio/root back.

Thanks
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] manofsticks:
Continuing my research, I'm getting mixed results in regards to cached partition, and if it even exists for the 4a (meaning my attempts are pointless)

This article gives instructions on how to clear it (which don't work for me, but a lot of things aren't working on the phone at the moment haha)

Whereas THIS article states that systems with an A/B slot (like the 4a) do not have a cache partition.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] a1291762:
To "get back to normal" I would probably dirty flash the version of Android 11 you had in before...

When I did the Android 12 update, I found lots of warnings that "dirty flashing" breaks from Android 11 to Android 12, so I didn't do my usual process. Instead, I sideloaded the full OTA package in order to do the upgrade. That might even work from your current state...

After the upgrade I used Magisk 23 (release, not canary) to patch the boot.img (which I extracted from the factory image), used fastboot boot patched.img and then used Magisk to install (direct). You can flash from fastboot but I don't do that.

My normal "dirty flash" upgrade looks like this:

1 download the factory image

2 extract it and the embedded zip until you have boot.img

3 send that to the phone and use Magisk manager to patch it. Send it back to the pc

4 replace the -w in the flash_all script with --skip-reboot. Add these 3 extra lines to the end.

fastboot reboot-bootloader

sleep 5

fastboot boot patched.img

5 run the script

6 use Magisk manager to install (direct)
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] manofsticks:
I attempted to sideload both the recent 11 OTA package, and the 12 OTA package. After each one, the results were the same, I got a generic error of "status 1" on the phone (fastboot on my computer completed fine without issues).

I then attempted your dirty flash method with a couple versions of android 11. Again, the script completed successfully each time, but I hit a bootloop when trying to start (G logo with the loading bar for 20+ minutes).

After this, I was completely unable to even flash my old magisk image that was working previously. That would result in the same bootloop.

I attempted the recovery menu option to perform a factory reset (i backed up everything previously). That said it completed, and then the same bootloop happened.

I went to the pixelrecovery site on chrome, and it just gets stuck on "checking software" until the site eventually times out.

Not sure where to go from there, I've pulled out my old phone to use in the meantime.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] manofsticks:
I finally managed to get it working, I used the android flash website via chrome. It failed the first time, but worked after that, and managed to get an Android 12 image booted. It made me re-lock my bootloader, and it also did a complete wipe (so me trying the failed factory reset earlier didn't mess me up anyway, apparently had to do it regardless).

From there I was able to go through the normal rooting steps, unlock bootloader, patch with magisk, fastboot flash boot magist_patched.img, everything is working fine now.

I feel like I must have done something wrong in the process to get it this broken, and unfortunately this isn't too much of a tutorial for anyone with the same problems (since I ended up essentially just wiping it and starting from scratch), but it is what it is.

Thank you for the suggestions!
[Magisk] rezpower:
The new Magisk is here and with it some major changes. One of the most important is the removal of support for "MagiskHide". There are many advanced users who have figured this all out already and few (maybe more) like me who are just kind of lost not knowing what should be exactly done to be able to update and be able to use Magisk as they were, before the update.

I was hoping that a kind soul would put up an easy step by step guide to help these users and at the same time it will avoid a lot of repetitive questions on the main thread. I personally spent a long time reading many pages and was not able to fully understand what should be done.

In my case all I want to achieve is to update and be able to hide Magisk like it was in the previous version. Should I start by un-hiding it first before doing the update?

(what and how and from where) should I add something that will replace the hiding function? Viola! these are the kind of simple questions that will help some of us get going :)

I hope that someone will bring his precious help :)
[Magisk] wugga3:
Yeah I unfortunately did my upgrade and fought with the whole process for 6 hours straight (lol) and I still don't know what I did exactly to even begin to write any instructions - other than 6 hours straight of reading and trying and hoping .....

Not sure if you have been able to refer to this which helped me.... But, I also have an very basic understanding of how my device (OnePlus 7T) works with Magisk... Hope this helps. May be see if your specific device has the instructions already posted in the device specific forum here?

Installation

The Magic Mask for Android

topjohnwu.github.io

I've not used the Magisk hide cause I haven't needed it - BUT, it's still available in the latest Magisk Manager (24.1) in the Magisk Manager settings. I'm only using the systemless hosts module (included in Magisk manager settings) for Adaway, and the universal safety net fix to get Google Play store to say my device is certified.

But I don't know what device you have nor do I know the specific ROM you are using.

Sounds like you have root already so I'm thinking that's the worst of this behind you if you've already done that much yourself. Sounds like it's a basic case of update the Magisk Manager app from itself then determine the method appropriate for root to update which could be through the Manager app or like I chose to use the boot IMG then patch that then install since my device has no working TWRP. That, and once I updated the manager app and panicked so I uninstalled it to try and downgrade to v23 .... Good luck and may be just don't update just yet if there is no specific need to at this time. Take your time and read and proceed when comfortable.

Please:

Start with your preferred method of backing up everything first.

Also, may be consider if it's necessary to update and why??? I'm on stock Andriod 11 and this Magisk update make me think it's intended to be more for those on Android 12 - but I could also assume wrongly.

Good and good luck...

One problem and probably the only problem I really had was self inflicted for not following the instructions properly and that was to uninstall any Magisk modules first or at that the appropriate step.

I am using LineageOS 18.1 Android 11 for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and I have twrp as recovery. Magisk 2.30 is already installed and device is rooted. I have no modules installed and in Magisk settings I have only MagiskHide enabled. All other settings are set to default. On Samsung Note3 forum there is no talk about this (understandable as the device is very old).
[Magisk] wugga3:
Ok great and is there any discussion for lineage 18.1 and root/update?

Since it's lineage 18 and based on Andriod 11 - I have to wonder if there is even the need to update Magisk as my limited understanding is that the Magisk update is aimed at Andriod 12? Other than that... I should expect from my prior understandings of Samsung that nothing much has changed with respect to root and updates of Magisk. Not much help but hopefully enough. May be best to wait until for now and usually I do also wait until all the facts are in and the bugs are sorted out (if any...) before I update if unnecessary.
[Magisk] rezpower:
Thanks wugga3,

I disabled "Check for updates" in Magisk app and decided to keep the older 2.30 version for now. Everything is working fine and so there is no reason to fix something which is not broken. The only reason I thought That I should update was a real advantage over the older version or a security weakness being fixed in the new one.

I am even seeing some people asking for help on how to downgrade! Anyway as you said wisely, it;s not after all a bad idea to wait a little to see how things work out for those who have upgraded and have new issues fixed before taking the jump.
[Magisk] mingkee:
Moving from 23.0 to 24.1 is straightforward

1. Update app

2. Update boot (Magisk) to 24.1, reboot

3. Enable Zygisk, reboot

4. Enforce Deny List, reboot

5. Install module USNF, reboot

6. Configure Deny List. Don't worry about Play Service because USNF will take care of it. Add any app detected root into it, and reboot every time it's updated

7. Install Fox Module manager and pick module you want

Thanks a lot for your post mingkee,

I am sure many like me will be happy and appreciate reading this instead of having to go through many pages and still not be totally sure what to do :)

Allow me to just ask one question as I did not understand the second option of your instruction:

I update Magisk from the application itself. Once updated what do you mean by update boot to 24.1? This is to be done in Magisk itself?
[Magisk] mingkee:
After updated app to 24.1, you will see another update on top of the app (Magisk). Direct install would be the simplest method
