[General Questions and Answers] Spectric2:
I have been reading more articles about getting root access on an Android device and am finding the information to be contradictary. It might be the way I am reading it but when it says

"How To Install TWRP Custom Recovery On Any Android Phone (Without Root)"​

I assume it actually means any Android, but it requires a custom recovery image for a particular phone so therefore it can only be for an android device where a custom image is available.

When I was running android 5.1 I installed TWRP so as to backup and restore my phone in case things went wrong, now I am running Android 7 it seems I cannot get a version of TWRP.

Can anyone assist as to what recovery tools I could install on a Ruggex 2 phone running android 7 please

thanks Roy
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
recovery is "independent" from main android OS. if you already have custom recovery installed on your device, it will even work without any OS installed, so it doesn't care if your phone is running Lollipop or Nougat. you can however check download source for newer version
[General Questions and Answers] Spectric2:
If that is the case then why does the forum state

How to install TWRP on any Android device​

but then goes on to say

Downloading TWRP for your device​

which implies it is device dependant and not generic?

thanks Roy
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
Thx, I got it first time. of course custom recovery is device dependant. but that's not what I said. I said recovery mode is independent from android version. (at least till < 11)

btw it's not contradictory to say the Installation is generic for "any" android device (despites the difference device has recovery in partition or in ramdisk) while the Download is device dependant.

also take note that installing custom recovery and rooting android are two different tasks that do not depend on each other.
[General Questions and Answers] Spectric2:
I think I am just getting more confused the deeper I go, it was fairly easy on my Android 5.1 device but with Android 7 it just seems to fight at every corner. I just cannot install and access TWRP on my device which is important for so many task.
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
what exactly is the problem?
[General Questions and Answers] Spectric2:
I am trying to get root access on my Ruggex Rhino device, I had it all working when it was running Android 5.1 but the OS had to be upgraded to Android 6 or above for the new program to work, it is now on Android 7 .

I tryed the original method using King root but that fails to root and having read these forums it appears the way forward is to use Magisk rather than super user but that is another issue. This device on Android 7 does not have any recovery mode, power button and volume up just states no command and not sure if this is anything to do with my problems.

My ideal end goal would be a device running just the one navigation program and all the rest gone including phone module but have been told that is not possible so have to live with the bloated.

Roy
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
So you are the one who is confusing different things.

King root is so called one-click rooting app that tries to find exploit in its online database and provides root. This method is outdated, you can read more about here

https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/205706

the only one-click rooting app still working I am aware of is mtk-easy-su based on mtk-su exploit and magisk.

the "no command" screen is part of your stock recovery. this indicates your custom recovery has been replaced by stock recovery. read about "no command" screen here

https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/155705

installing custom recovery on android devices will break boot chain of trust. device will boot-loop and deny booting. therefore android will restore stock recovery on each boot, unless you disabled that feature.

read about dm-verity and stock recovery failsafe here

https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/214902

systemless-root is the root method available with SuperSU or Magisk, where system partition no longer is modified (to keep it healthy for updates). instead, the boot partition is modified, that requires bootloader to be unlocked (most devices).

bootloader unlocking will factory reset your device. some older devices allow installing custom recovery on locked bootloader, but you need to find a way to flash it.
[General Questions and Answers] Spectric2:
Thats good information, move on away from Kingroot due to obsolescence and look into systemless root which from what I have gathered so far is not detected by the system. I will initially look into SuperSu as that was running on Android 5.1, I remember it used to ask for permision to access root and so far Magisk has just taken me round in circles. But first I will look at those articles and see what I can learn.

thanks Roy
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
actually, rooting with SuperSU is done by flashing SuperSU zip from TWRP. I couldn't find TWRP for your device, but we can help you porting generic TWRP for your device.

rooting with Magisk is done without TWRP

- unlock bootloader (+ factory reset)

- install Magisk apk

- patch boot.img with Magisk app

- flash patched boot.img

(see Installation Instructions)
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] mr_horsepower:
I've got an A32 5G that functionally performs ok. it's had some slow loading pages recently and some YouTube videos buffering, which I attributed to the recent system updates as well as the move to 5g in my area. I still think these are the likely sources of my lower performance, but. . ... I went to grc.com and ran their Shields Up test the other day, probing all common ports. my results came back that I have a port 179 open about 95% of the time (meaning I've ran the test quite a few times since then, only a few of those times it showed stealth). appx. 10% of the time I ran the test, it showed port 1, and port 1&2 closed, but not stealthed. the other test results showed them to be stealthed.

prior to now, and when having my friends run the tests on their phones, my former and everyone else's current results were 100% stealthed.

my questions -

1. can a few of you with the same phone as me run the same tests and see what your results are. (it's at grc.com, then Shields Up, then Shields Up, then proceed, then All Service Ports)

2. short of resetting the phone, how do I find out the source or cause of this port being open? (I've done a lot so far, none of which has helped, so I won't bore anyone just yet)

3. is there a better section to post this in?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] blackhawk:
See if you can ID the app using it with a firewall.

If running on Pie or below Karma Firewall will detect apps accessing the internet.

If you can't ID and eliminate it, factory reset.

You are what you install and download, exercise caution.

This is what I get when I run that check:

[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] mr_horsepower:
the only apps on my phone are Firefox & Brave browsers, CX File Explorer, File Viewer, New Pipe, SMS Backup & Restore, and a few games from Yiotro.

never been on Facebook, nor any other social media
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] mr_horsepower:
the test I was referring to was this one

and I'm on Android 12. the firewall approach is null with that?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] blackhawk:
Lol, I scanned that exe with Virustotal and while most might trust it... I don't!

Android 12 will gut firewall apps not designed to run on it. Even 10 does this.

A big reason I still run on Pie; functionality for trusted apps.

Nuke it if there's any doubt. Change Google account password, check if its been breached.

Likely something you installed...
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] mr_horsepower:
how do you keep your system from updating?

mine is set to only do it over wifi, and I never use wifi (literally never) and eventually it gives in I guess and downloads it over my data connection. I've got auto updates on the play store turned off and I've never had anything update without my choosing to, again, thru just the play store.

I'm fairly certain that Steve Gibson, the guy that runs the Security Now site and podcast is a 100% safe environment.

*I also realize my recommendations on what's safe and what's not mean nothing, especially given the thread I just started, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] blackhawk:
I use a package disabler to block OTA updates.

A nasty little app...

I think his site's probably ok, but caution is best when in doubt. My current load is over 2 yo and runs very well.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] mr_horsepower:
I've just spent the past 5 hours doing a full restore on my phone. I just ran the scan again and I got the same effing results. will someone please, for the love of all that is good in this world, pretty friggin please, run that scan and see if they get the same port open? please.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] mr_horsepower:
you don't even have to do the whole scan, which takes all of 30 seconds. just type 179 in the box and hit enter. it will open open to another page and you hit the 'probe this port' button. it's Steve Gibsons website. it's safe. he's one of the grandfathers of internet security.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] blackhawk:
Lol, doesn't sound that safe judging by your results. You should have loaded just that app and scanned. May be a false result.

No known rootkit can survive a factory reset on Android 9 and up. So either it's a normal result, glitch or you reloaded the malware... probably one of the games.

Install Karma Firewall (it may not install on 12), one by one block 3rd party apps and so on, then scan until you find it.

Or factory reset again and run the scan... first.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] mr_horsepower:
didn't reload the games (they're zero permission games from an awesome source though). I did a reinstall of DDG browser, File Viewer, SMS Backup & Restore, and Textra. I went through all my permissions and deleted all the b.s. bloatware, fired up the browser and went and ran the test. same results. I've ran the test a bunch over the years, first time with that result ever a few days ago.

I'm going to order a new phone tomorrow. if I'm lucky, it'll be in in time for me to blow this thing up on the 4th.

*I also ran the test at a few other port scanners prior to the reset. one of 3 didn't show the port open, the others did. I haven't rechecked it at those places after the fact

*it doesn't sound like you're familiar with Steve Gibson or his work. it'd be worth poking around his website a little. also listening to or reading transcripts of his weekly podcast he's done for years. that website is as pure as the driven snow.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] mr_horsepower:
and to clarify, it's not an app. you go there with your browser and click on a button. it's just a web page, it's just a button. you don't even need Javascript to be on at his website.

*and while I appreciate your offering up that .apk, I'm not in the habit of sideloading apps from a barely known source. that's a small example of what makes this problem I'm having so perplexing.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] blackhawk:
Won't run in my browser. Tried disabling a few things that might have blocked it, no go.

My current setup hasn't had any malware issues, has been fast and stable for over 2 years so I'm not playing with it further than this for no good reason.

I don't have in depth knowledge of these protocols. Been a long while since I setup a router. Meh, although I'm curious about this... but it's your rabbit hole to chase down. It's a pretty deep hole.

Karma Firewall been updated.

NetGuard is fully functional on 12, root not needed. I haven't played with this yet.

Install a firewall and see if you can spot it...
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] mr_horsepower:
if you went there, and proceeded like this, with or without Javascript on (my default everywhere is its off unless I decide to give sites that liberty), I can't see how in the world it's not running. I appreciate your time regardless.

[Google Pixel 5a] GalaxyA325G:
Second question is whether or not your device is in the Battery Charge Limit [Root] support list given the last known update is May 14, 2018.

First question is whether or not you're rooted, and third is whether or not you've looked at the control files on GitHub yet.

Last question is if you're on Android 12, does the native battery charge limit setting of 85% work for you?
[Google Pixel 5a] pawlik79:
1) I'm rooted with custom kernel

2) I've just checked it and looks like my device is not supported

3) Other control files location doesn't exist

I have a global op9 and rolled back to A11. Guessing I probably need to be on at least C-48 to get new C-61 build. Only 48 available ota or oxygen updater ?
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
Since it's an incremental build you would have to be on C.48. Also, Oxygen Updater won't show it if you are rooted and don't deny it root access.
[OnePlus 9] mattie_49:
It's a really nice build. Many small things I couldn't hardly deal with are getting fixed. Ability to deny privilges or disable main system apps is available now. Clear all recents works properly. Misaligned home screen clock. It's nice bud. Outta try it out.
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
Until I can disable their SoC throttling without performance mode draining my battery, I'll never be happy with stock unfortunately. It's literally the biggest complaint I have with OOS12.

[OnePlus 9] break.cold:
Did they fix SoC throttling issue in C.61? How is performance and smoothness compare to C.48.
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
I highly doubt they fixed it because their official stance is that it's not broken and to use performance mode.
[OnePlus 9] break.cold:
I have no idea what Oneplus is doing with their software, it has become so crumbled that doubt have raised in user mind before using it. I really enjoyed OOS11 alot but since OOS12 released with bugs here and there, I really don't to stay on OOS12, however, I only used because of camera

The "try again" button does the same thing.

Thoughts? Anyone else rooted able to update?
[OnePlus 9] break.cold:
You need to restore original boot.img through magisk app and then do OTA update or use local update method by download the OTA zip file (check ot method 2 on how to root in xda oneplus 9 form) and then updating it through Oneplus 12 local update app.
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
Yeah this was my first OnePlus and it may well be my last because of the throttling. It really irks me. Like they go so far as to make it impossible to actually disable in OOS12.

Open Magisk, hit uninstall, hit restore images. Install the OTA and before rebooting, install to inactive slot.
[OnePlus 9] mattie_49:
First off it's a Google ota. If any partitions are modified the intended update will fail. Go into magisk . In red uninstall magisk. Then restore images. Let that finish and don't reboot. Go into system updates and start ota. Will now work stock boot image there. Allow update to completely install. Don't reboot. Then go into magisk again like second photo. Install to inactive. Now reboot after this process . Reboot into new oos with root . Gl

Haha, thanks for the replies all! So quick :D

I'll reread them all a few times to wrap my head around.

"Stock backup does not exist."

😬

Have I already f'd up? :D
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
If you don't have a stock backup, it's not that big of a deal. Uninstall Magisk and install the OTA.Take the clean C.61 boot image and copy to the phone, open Magisk, patch, copy to PC, fastboot boot patched image, open Magisk again, direct install.
[OnePlus 9] Vladgabriel3:
for me it says that backup was not found when hitting restore images. so i suppose u need to have a backup for this to work
[OnePlus 9] Vladgabriel3:
even if u fully uninstall magisk when u press install ota it will say failed or something like that.

The way to gain stored stock boot image with Magisk Is to patch boot. Boot into fastboot and "fastboot boot magisk_patched.img not fastboot flash boot, then direct install once you get into magisk after boot. Safe way and how I've done for a long time. Stores stock boot image for future use.

Does anyone have the original boot img for OOS12 C.61 incremental? I am trying to prep phone (global ver) before I start to unlock bootloader and root. Is there a way to extract current boot img w/o root from phone? The latest full OTA is a slightly different version. How can one extract boot img from full and incremental OTA w/o patching it? Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
Install OTA on the phone, open up MSM Tool and put phone into edl with adb reboot edl, press F8, grab the correct boot partition (you can run fastboot getvar current-slot to find out whether it is A or B).

The phone only stays in edl for a few seconds if it doesn't receive a command so be quick about it.
[OnePlus 9] drift08:
I just grab MSM Tool from xda @ here along with lemonade_22_O.07_210412.ops in it. I have never use MSM Tool before. So, I assume the above method does not wipe any user data on the phone at all. Correct? Thanks.
[OnePlus 9] arebelspy:
Yep. I uninstalled Magisk (doing the full uninstall since I when I tried restore image it didn't work since I had no stock backup), then tried to install the OTA and get a "Couldn't Update Installation Problem" error.

[OnePlus 9] mattie_49:
Yes it's finally getting better . All my prior issues are resolved in C-61. All Bluetooth connectivity issues . Update it's nice. !!
[OnePlus 9] AxelM:
To wrap this up, because I am a bit slow:

I am on C.47:

1. Uninstall magisk

2. install ota c.48 - do not reboot

3. go to magisk and "patch boot" --> copy magisk_patched_boot.img to pc

4. in fastboot mode: "fastboot boot magisk_patched_boot.img

5. magisk direct install

6. repeat everything with c.61

Am I right or is there a better way? Can I also patch now the original boot.img from c.47 to get rid of any changes in magisk unistall than magisk and start ota?
[OnePlus 9] mattie_49:
You can uninstall magisk /restore stock image. Start ota. Don't reboot. When finishes go into magisk setting and install to inactive slot. Let it do its thing now reboot into C-61 with root. If you don't have stock image available In magisk your said above way will work fine.
[OnePlus 9] AxelM:
I have a stock boot.img but magisk did not recognize it :) Can I than just install it manually, uninstall magisk and than do ota?
[OnePlus 9] mattie_49:
Hit uninstall magisk. Then only restore images.
[OnePlus 9] AxelM:
Well yes I tried this, but it did not recogize the image. But I have a copy of that somewhere on the device and also on the pc.
[OnePlus 9] arebelspy:
I'm on c.48 already, so starting with your step 6, but can't install OTA cause it just errors (even after uninstalling Magisk). I'm guessing you'll run into the same error. Above posters have suggested "MSM" as a workaround (I haven't figured that part out yet), but if you do go the MSM route, would appreciate your thoughts. :)
