[Magisk] arley8686:
Hello, im not very tech savy and english is not my first language, im gonna be blunt:

why should i update my magisk? i have bricked my phone a few times after messing with jailbroken device, might be my fault but it just seems too easy to do it incorrectly.

i currently have magisk 23.0, i have an samsung galaxy s20 ultra international, running android 11, UI 3.1

i am not planning to update my phone OS, ever.

i hope i get my point and issue across

thanks
[Magisk] Darkaeluz:
You don't have to if you don't want to, the new version deprecates a couple of things like magisk hide and the modules repository, but it also adds powerful tools like zygisk, that will allow further deeper customization of your phone.

You just need to investigate a little, weight your options and choose what you find works for you.
[Magisk] ldeveraux:
If it's working, like it does for me, don't bother updating until all the bugs are worked out.
[Magisk] arley8686:
ok thanks, sorry if i am not clear, the app works for me, but i dont have time to spend an afternoon to try to fix my phone if i brick it while updating my magisk, i guess i wont update it since i dont need it
[Magisk] sic0048:
It's pretty simple - if your current phone works the way you want it to, then don't update Magisk.

[General Questions and Answers] LetMeDoThingsWithMyPhone:
Hello Gurus

I've tried searching around to find a solution for this but I've faild.

I'm trying to copy my whatsapp key from my (Pixel 4a) phone with CalyxOS installed. However, it seems like it's not possible to access the key without root, and it's not possible to root CalyxOS.

I've seen posts saying it's possible to install Magisk on CalyxOS (even though I'm not sure if that's something I install on my current ROM or I have to reflash everything).

I'd appreciate any suggestions on what's the easiest way to get the key out. I don't need a general root solution, I just need to copy 1 file out, so I thought maybe there are easier ways to get this done.

Thanks a lot
[General Questions and Answers] LetMeDoThingsWithMyPhone:
For what it's worth I was actually able to get the key out by downgrading the whatsapp APK and then using `adb backup`

Cheers

Hey I've got bootloader unlocked & the firmware flashed successfully. And I've tried 4 times to flash pixel12 & a different gsi and Everything works till it goes to flash part 4 of 12 and it fails. The 2nd gsi was in 11 chunks and it failed à the 4th chunk. Any help would be great ñ
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] atsalchenberg:
So I got the tonga about a week ago, bootloader unlocked rooted with magisk and firmware flashed all successful without a hiccup.

But every time I go to flash the pixel 12 or an alternate GSI of the same criteria everything works up until when it's flashing the system it fails that trunk four of 12, and when I try and flash a different GSI it too freezes at chunk four of 11. This is my daily driver so after messing up I always got to reflash the new firmware and start from scratch. Does anybody have any clue what it might be? Could it possibly be the drivers on my windows 11 laptop? That's the only thing I can think of unless I'm missing something.

I installed the GSI according to the directions up top. And ain't no help will be greatly appreciated thank you.

I thought I posted about this earlier so if it's a double post if I notice it all fall back and delete it.

I got it flashed & working, with the fastboot codes provided, only thing is I had to flash vbmeta in regular fastboot not fastbootd. This phone seems to be vary gsi friendly. I'm running corvus v52.1 right now and it runs great, not much of a lag other then with the camera. I like a11 more.

I've got everything up and running. However, seems OTA updating is not working (still) even despite the common restoring stock boot.img file, pushing OTA update to inactive partition, then installing Magisk to that inactive partition (only rebooting after all those things are done).

Has anyone tried updating Pixel Experience to the new 413.1 that's out currently?
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] masema049:
Hey guys. I've been wanting to get this phone rooted since I got it a few months ago, however I'm unable to unlock the bootloader. I've tried repeatedly to use the motorolla unlock tool and always get "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking."

Is it possible I'm doing something incorrectly, or is it impossible for me for some reason? I got the phone from Tracfone.

Thanks.

[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] 2JZ80:
I'm having trouble flashing the stock firmware on my MTO Tonga from the list of commands above, specifically starting from the "fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.0" command. It says "permission denied". I downloaded the firmware from lolinet.

Is it because it isn't rooted yet? Anyone know where I can find root instructions? Is it just using Magisk with the stock firmware? Once I am done with that will I have root? Then the permission denied message won't show up anymore when I try to fastboot super?
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] Sanras:
No. That's not how fastboot works. Fastboot doesn't care whether your Android system has root or not, it is more low-level than that. Permission denied is usually caused by a locked bootloader, but if it's unlocked, I'm not sure what the issue could be.
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] 2JZ80:
Does "flashing_unlocked" on the fastboot screen mean the bootloader is unlocked?

Thanks for the post and info OP. I just finally rooted my Moto G power 2022 from Metro PCS after waiting 180 days to unlock bootloader. I'm tempted to try this pixel GSI but I've had some subpar experiences with GSIs in the past on other phones. But I noticed you said pretty much everything works . This phone has a ton of potential.

EDIT: So I ended up installing the Pixel GSI and you were right, everything does indeed work ! I was quite surprised because using GSI's in the past on other phones was usually a dodgy experience.
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] 2JZ80:
Dang missed the telegram group. Mind PMing to me?
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] 2JZ80:
I am trying to install the Pixel GSI on my Tonga (Metro) and am having trouble flashing the stock firmware. I have a few questions, if you don't mind.

- Do I even need to flash the stock firmware? Or can I just follow the instructions to install the GSI?

I unlocked the bootloader (flashing_unlocked on the fastboot screen by using the OEM Unlock command in fastboot mode using the Windows command prompt.

- Does this mean the bootloader is unlocked? Why did you have to wait 180 days for it to unlock when you can use the fastboot command? Is the fastboot command unlocking something else?

When I try to flash the super files, I get either permission denied or the file size is too large, and cannot proceed to flashing the super files from the stock firmware.

Do I need TWRP? Could not find a TWRP for Tonga but willing to try and port TWRP for Tonga if I can.

Before TWRP tho, I would love to try and install the Pixel 12 GSI just to see what it's like to install another OS on this device. Ultimately, I'd want to deGoogle this phone and go with either Lineage OS or Calyx OS (if it is supported for Tonga). Graphene would be nice, but it seems to be only available for Pixel phones.

Any advice, tips, and feedback would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] ways2:
IF you're already on stock firmware, there's no need to flash it again. Just follow the instructions posted by OP.

If you're on MetroPCS, you'll have to go to the "Unlock" app on your phone, or go to settings and find the "Unlock" menu. You have to wait 180 days from the day you purchased your own to fully unlock it, on top of unlocking it with the Motorola unlock code.

Once that's all done, you should make sure USB Debugging is on and once you connect your phone make sure you "Allow" it once it pops up on your screen.

There's no need to flash stock firmware. Just download and flash the Pixel GSI

Right now there is know custom recovery for Tonga. I was also trying to port the TWRP but I'm unable to find the stock recovery.img for Tonga.
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] atsalchenberg:
Isn't the recovery a part of the boot. Img? If that's the case I can send it to ya.
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] 2JZ80:
Thanks for the info. I probably couldn't write the files due to the 180 days. Where did you find that info if you don't mind? Or is that common knowledge among people flash ROMs?

My OEM unlock slider in developer options is grayed out and it says unlocked. So does the factboot screen (flashing_unlocked). Is there a way to tell if the 180 days have passed and that it is fully unlocked?

Thanks
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] 2JZ80:
Yeah I have the boot.img. Thanks for offering though.

What is the product.img referring to? Couldn't find it in the stock firmware or the GSI.

So far so good I'm wondering what other gsi would work. Only issue I'm having really is data switches to 3g randomly and back to lte. Not sure why but I'm wondering if the TMO firmware would be more suitable over RETUS
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] atsalchenberg:
I'm running TMobile firmware on my metro Tonga, I've found probably 10ish gsis that work pretty big free, but I haven't found one that doesn't always jump back to 3g automatically. Especially after reboots
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] atsalchenberg:
Sometimes I'm able to get VOLTE then it disappears for no apparent reason. I can get back on v o l t e by just switching it off and switching it back on but usually that doesn't work again unless I clean flash a gsi
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] ways2:
Thanks for the response, saves me some time messing with firmwares and stuff. Hopefully we can find a way to fix this because apart from that issue I'm enjoying gsi experience. Any other gsi you would recommend that works ?
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] atsalchenberg:
The Corvus GSIs work pretty good run smooth and pretty quick, but all seem to have a systemui reset problem, but it's bearable. Cherish seems bugfree and volte works sometimes on it. Octivi-OS imo are the GSIs that run the smoothest and fastest that I've found almost no noticable bugs other then the volte going in & out. And superior seems to run decent. I try almost all new ones, but I seem to use octivi as my daily driver.

I haven't found a single a 10 gsi that'll boot up. A11 & a12 works on all the above mentioned GSIs.
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] atsalchenberg:
So I've finally found a gsi / apn combo the volte stays on constantly. I'm not sure if it's more the rom or apn/ setting, but I'm hesitant to flash another gsi and test it on that one.

It stayed on through root, Xposed install and everything.

Hello, I'm very new to this forum (first post), and mobile phone flashing in general, plus I wasn't sure if I should start a new thread or just continue on this one.

I do have some experience with Linux (Debian) systems on computers and tablets, so I am relatively familiar with flashing and reinstalling in general, and can follow directions relatively easily.

I was recently gifted a Motorola G Power (2022) (TONGA), more precisely a XT2165-5 with Android 11 RRQ31-Q3-68-99, as per Lenovo's Rescue and Smart Recovery, oem_locked (although the online shop advertised it as unlocked).

I would like to degoogle it as much as possible, ideally installing Lineage OS (it does not to be officially supporting the device yet), but despite multiple searches, I cannot find anyone who has done it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

And if that route doesn't work, what are good alternatives with other custom ROMs+apps?

I'm also curious about microG.
