Hello, I have the same issue. Did you solve it ?

Thanks
[Motorola Edge (2021)] ruq:
I'm a total noob, and was scared pant-less at the thought of bricking my device, but I was successful!

First off, I backed up my data. First by manually copying off photos, and creating a SMS backup (I have QKSMS), etc., then:

adb backup -all

In retrospect, I should've used --shared to also backup the apps themselves.

Anyways, then I downloaded the latest stock ROM for my device; I used the Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant for this. You have to plug the phone in, and follow the rescue process up to the point of getting it to download the ROM, and stop there. It tells you where it downloads the ROM (dropdown download menu), and you can open it in the file browser. DO NOT KEEP GOING OR THE RESCUE ASSISTANT WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE AND DO A FRESH INSTALL OF THE ROM. Thankfully it's very easy to tell when you get up to this point, so you can't really just accidentally let it do that.

Once you navigate to the folder where the ROM files are located, you'll see many files. I was overwhelmed at first, not knowing what I might have to flash over. Thankfully, there is a file called flashfile.xml, this file details the files needed to be flashed over. We cannot directly use this file, but we can infer from the file which files need to be flashed onto which partitions.

For more info: https://www.droidwin.com/flash-stock-firmware-via-fastboot-commands/

First however, we'll need to patch the boot.img file. Copy it over to your phone, use the magisk app to patch the file, and overwrite the original boot.img file.

Then open and read the xml file and you'll see "<step" lines. Which look like:

<step MD5="0e28dd7d9c003732a01c9c675c387dd3" filename="gpt.bin" operation="flash" partition="partition"/>

The important bits we need are "filename=" and "partition=". from there you can interpolate those into the "fastboot flash" command to flash the required files over.

fastboot flash [partition] [filename]

Repeat this process for each line that has "operation="flash"" in it. Ignore the lines with "operation="erase"", since those wipe various parts of your phone, such as with a clean install.

Once finished, you can reboot your phone to Android 12.

That should be it. I hope this helps someone out. Please PLEASE give me feedback, if there was anything wrong, or things you think I could've done better. Thanks.
[Motorola Edge (2021)] ziddey:
Whoa this is way overkill. You just need to restore the boot image, take the ota, and patch the new inactive boot before rebooting.

If magisk doesn't have a backup of the boot image, you can create supply one for it, or just manually write the boot image.

Supplying magisk:

1. Calculate sha1 of the original boot.img.

2. Create directory /data/magisk_backup_<SHA1>

3. Gzip original boot.img and save boot.img.gz in the new directory.

4. In Magisk, uninstall magisk => restore images.

Otherwise, just write the original boot.img to /dev/block/by-name/boot_a or boot_b depending on which one is active with dd.

Make sure to install magisk to inactive slot after taking the ota and before rebooting. This automatically saves the new original boot for next time.

Unrelated, but I had forced ro.vendor.hw.dualsim to true, and was about to order a dual sim tray to test. IMEI1 was intact, but 2 was blank as expected (hadn't cleared modemst1/2 yet, but would've expected imei2 to goto 0 at best). But upon taking the July OTA, IMEI1 went to 0 (imei2 still blank) and I had no cell (sim disabled and untoggleable). Erased modemst1/2 to no avail, but reverting to single sim and wiping modemst1/2 brings the imei back. Anyone else test dual sim on berlna?
[Motorola Edge (2021)] ruq:
I tried doing the OTA method based off a guide, but it didn't work.

How am I supposed to restore the boot image without a reboot? In the guide I followed, you "uninstalled Magisk", then directly went and got the OTA, before then patching Magisk to the OTA version and finally rebooting.

The problem was, there was no update, or so the updater told me.

I also don't really understand what the whole "Supplying Magisk" bit is about.

This is why I'm a noob lol. I did the "overkill" method because I didn't know any other way of doing it. How else am I to supply Magisk with a boot image, if the OTA method doesn't work?

Addendum Edit: Please forgive me for my ignorance. Sorry. I really appreciate you trying to enlighten me on better methods.

For the record, I have used and understand (at least the basics) of gzip, dd, calculating checksums, and using magisk. I'm just still clueless of what exactly your instructions are trying to accomplish.

Thank you for sharing your findings! I recently purchased this phone and was able to install the July OTA update & maintain root by following this video:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mlevin:
I recently switched over to a Pixel 6 Pro but I had keeping my 2XL running wifi-only (no SIM) as I hadn't finished migrating everything from it. It is 100% stock, unrooted.

I have a few things on there that I would really like to retrieve (some OTP authenticator keys that will be a pain to get again). All of my other data is backed up, and my passwords are in a backed up vault, so it's not the end of the world if I can't revive it.

For a while it was acting normal although the battery drained quickly. The other day I tried to start it and it very briefly showed the "dark mode" Google logo, vibrated once, and then went black. One time I held down the power button for a long time and it vibrated once but the display didn't come on. Since then I can't get any activity out of it. I've tried putting it on its original charger overnight and there is no charge screen showing up.

I'm comfortable trying to replace the battery, screen, or charging port myself – or if someone can recommend a good place, I would send it in. But at the moment I don't really know how to diagnose the problem.

I really just need to get it running long enough to use a QR code to transfer my authenticators.

Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
A battery failure, any swelling is a failure.

It may simply not have enough current capacity to boot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mlevin:
Thanks @blackhawk. I may as well try replacing the battery. Can't make it any worse.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
If it's older then 3 years or has been heavily used it's likely the battery.

You sure the brick and cable are known good?

A port failure be the next suspect.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mlevin:
Yep, charger and cable are known good, and I've tried several just to be sure. The battery was definitely on its last legs, so I suspect you are correct.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Less than 80% of its original capacity is degraded and past the end of its useful service life. Degraded Li's are more likely to fail.

Easy fix if so...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dcarvil:
Check for this problem before replacing the battery.

https://xdaforums.com/t/fix-pixel-3-qusb_bulk_cid-xxxx_sn-xxxxxxxx.4205331/

This is a Pixel 3 thread, but the problem applies to the Pixel 2 as well. If that is your problem, there is no fix.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Long thread. How do you propose to weed out a dead mobo etc from a dead battery?

It may not even go into the boot menu with a bad battery with the charger connected. It probably should. You could disconnect the battery and try for the boot menu with the charger. Slamming in a new battery seems better plan to me for a number of reasons.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mlevin:
I'm not getting anything under "adb devices," so it doesn't immediately sound like this other problem. I think I'll first try a battery replacement and then see what happens from there...

In any case, replacing the mobo would cause me to lose my data, right? My goal here is to get the phone running so I can get some data from it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Oh yes, the data is on the chipset. That's one reason why I always use devices with a SD card slot and use the SD card as a data drive.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dcarvil:
I think you have to look at the Windows Device Manager for "QUSB_BULK_CID:xxxx_SN:xxxxxxxx", not in adb devices.
[Google Pixel 5a] C00ljoe:
Been out of the rooting scene since the Droid RAZR HD, had a chance on my Pixel 1 but passed it up. Now im getting back into it and theirs a LOT of changes and some things dont have full guides or are missing pieces. Steps so far: Unlock Bootloader -> Patch image with Magisk -> Flash patched image to gain root -> Enabled Zygote to setup bypassing safety net check/basic integreity/CTS profile match ( is it worth it if i only use one app affected by it?). Currently looking at Magisk modules and wondering if i also want LSposed or EDsposed which requires RIRU, correct? If i have Zygisk enabled this makes RIRU incompatible, correct? So no Xposed/EDsposed/LSposed modules unless i use Magisk 25.1 Delta version, (Comes with Zygote bootloop protecion) that re-enables magisk hide and can make RIRU work again? Still hazy on the a/b slots with no official TWRP to use and how to flash ROMS and update them without breaking things, Google really messed things up with project treble, geez. Also, anything else i want to take care of at the moment? Thanks.
[Google Pixel 5a] rchris494:
this does work

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-pixel-5a-barbet-unlock-bootloader-update-root-pass-safetynet.4356221/

unlock the spoiler at the bottom to pass safetynet.

download the two modules from the github.

place them on the phone.

in magisk enable zygisk and deny list

load the modules inside magisk 25.1

i did them one at a time rebooting after each.

go back into magisk enable enforcing deny list.

top right show system apps

check mark any banking/gpay

check mark google store and play services.

reboot. it should pass safetynet and be certified. i have only tested this with google pixel experience rom.

to load a custom rom. you fastboot -w (from factory rom) then fastboot boot twrp.img. go to advanced and adb sideload. then adb sideload the custom rom you want. ignore errors that print in twrp and reboot. all of the aosp roms have their own custom recovery that they load. so you can use their recovery to adb sideload magisk.apk or rename it to zip and flash it.

note all screen locks/pin locks/swipe locks/finger print locks/face locks must be disabled before starting this process. twrp can't remove them. due to decryption not fully functional yet in twrp
[Google Pixel 5a] C00ljoe:
Okay thanks. What about RIRU and Xposed/Edsposed/LSposed modules or have you not messed with them? After i flash LineageOS, will I loose root or retain it? Will flashing a new ROM with mess anything up besides the lock screen issue you mentioned? By " loading the modules in magisk 25.1" do you mean the safety net fix and cts profile spoof modules? What are you most used or most recommended apps that require root. Thanks
[Google Pixel 5a] undermark5:
LSPosed has both zygisk and Riru variants. Not sure on compatibility with the XPosed modules though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] medkarim:
Hi,

I have a TyTN II, and I can not connect to my PC XP SP3 (even with Vista), I installed ActiveSync 4.5, which is not detected automatically, and the USB cable is only charge the battery .

Also for bluetooth not it is possible to create a PAN network , that this is a hardware problem?

Here is the ROM informations :

ROM version: 4.30's Schaps

ROM Date: 08/28/07

Radio version: 1.27.12.11

Protocol version: 22.45.88.07H

I have done a Hard Reset and a soft reset and it works yet.

In Bootloader mode, when I plug the USB, i have always "Serial" at the screen.

I really need because I use it primarily with Visual Studio, and without synchronization with ActiveSync, I can do nothing :( !

I've tried to flash my Kaiser using microSD Card , but i need HardSPL on my device , witch require ActiveSync :(

Many thanks .

Sorry for my bad English , I'm not a native speaker....:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] The Reaper:
Hello,

With XP SP3, try removing the all existing partnerships on the Phone and PC and then try connecting...(on the phone.. start>programs>activesync>menu>options>delete, likewise, delete the partnership on the PC)

On vista you need WMDC , activesync will not work...

Hope this helps...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] medkarim:
Hi,

Thanks for the answer, I found the solution :

I was using USB cable of my memory card Reader, I tried with another (Sony HandyCam original USB cable) , and it works like a charm under XP and Vista ( Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center ) :D

I hope this will help someone.

Thanks again.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] MetroWestMA:
Seems like a stupid question, but yes I bought a 2213 EU version, unlocked the bootloader, rooted it the right way, did everything to pass safety net, device is play protect registered, getprop ro.boot.verifiedbootstate returns green, Google Pay works fine after root, DRM Info shows Widevine L1

Netflix won't install (not compatible with device)

HBOMax won't play

Peacock won't install

Hulu won't install

Is this possibly a OnePLus bug on the new NE2213_11_A.15 build, some new rooting thing with Android 12, bad luck, or is there some solution that I need to install?

I may be haded right back to the trusty OnePlus 8 Pro....which has none of these issues and has the Macro Camera which I actually miss....

Thanks in advance for any suggestions....

Also, if anyone in the US needs dual SIM, the EU versions supports all the US bands (and more), is dual SIM, and works flawlessly with T-Mobile...5G, VoWiFi, everything.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] diigiital:
Same thing for me, i live in Sweden and we have Cmore & Discovery here that refuse to play after bootloader unlock and root, no magisk hide solution have worked for me. Maybe bootloader unlock with no root works, but cant try because my OP10 is bricked. My old OP9 was working perfect with all the streaming, i now have Xiaomi 12 Pro and was afraid the same thing would happend with this phone, only unlocked bootloader on this phone but no root and everything works 100%, streaming apps, gpay.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] MetroWestMA:
It just seems there is something wrong here in the way that OnePlus certified this device. Other Android 12 devices can be rooted without all these issue, right?

Can people US or Chinese / Indian versions get rooted and have access to the Streaming services?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] toolhas4degrees:
I have Hulu Disney plus and Netflix working but only play when streamed to my Chromecast. On device play doesn't work and only plays L3 even though device reads L1. Believe it's to deal with bootloader unlock and not root. But others posted that it was a OnePlus issue and was supposed to be resolved but hasn't been.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] g96818:
It's a issue with this particular Snapdragon chip. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 uses the same processor and has the exact same problem.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] toolhas4degrees:
How can it be the chip. It could be the kernel associated didn't have correct commits from snapdragon. But still the drm is in the secure partition on our device that can't be altered also.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] g96818:
Not sure, but that's the only common link between both devices from different manufacturers. They're basically using the same work around we are. I'll be testing it out shortly also since my S8 was just delivered.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] MetroWestMA:
It is just fundamentally blocking anything having to do with DRM. You can't even spoof the user agent and watch any streaming service through a browser -- it ask if the browser can play secure content (you say yes) and then gives an error. I am not even that much of a TV / Movie guy, but to be 100% blocked from any streaming just for rooting a device you own????

Pretty F&*^in extreme if you asked me....

The only question is do I wait for someone to hack it (if that's even possible), or do I just go back to my trusty OP 8 Pro and sell this...?

Are there any Android 12 rootable phones that don't have this issue...or is it all Android 12 phones?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] g96818:
i think it's a snapdragon issue rather than software issue.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] devtherockstar:
How did you get widevine L1 after bootloader unlock?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] MetroWestMA:
That's what DRM Info showed.

But for me it's all moot at this point. Yesterday, Google Pay stopped working (some new detection thing I presume), so I attempted to relock the bootloader with

./fastboot flashing lock

at which point the device started going into an infinite power cycle instant reboot no way to get into FASTBOOT, or Recovery or turn off the phone. So I just returning the phone and going back to OnePLus 8 / Android 11 where you can be fully rooted and everything just works.

What a disappointment and waste of time.

Thanks for everyone who offerred suggestions...I'll try back in 6 months or so and see if any of this gets sorted out.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] ezdiy:
It's not "issues with the chip". Google upped their ante with root detection, which breaks everything from netflix to google pay. See this thread.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] MetroWestMA:
I was the OP and had to return my bricked OP10Pro under the 30 day return period.

Anyway, I bought a Google 512GB Pixel 6 Pro used, rooted it, and did the basic stuff I have done since the OP8Pro -- and everything works -- GPay, Netflix, no DRM issues and no hassles.

So maybe it is the chip, but if google had "upped their game" I would think it would be with their own phones especially since the Tensor SOC (co developed with Samsung) has a trusted security module.

As far as the phones go, the Pixel Pro is heavier and the battery charges slower, but you get dual SIM and it works on all USA/Worldside 5G networks and bands. And the cameras are top notch. So kind of a tossup I guess.

Hello xda family. Need a lot of help and luck. My computer has been hacked, i believe through my network. Anyways A**MUNCH, modified my system. He(or she) has inserted their own commands. Including disabling usb boot and i cant do a recovery because different parts of the program files have been moved into different folders and drives. It's as if he was a murderer and chopped up the body. He then roadtripped across the country hiding the parts in different locations. Can i attach a usb drive to my Android and download to that drive a install media from Microsoft? I would like to upgrade to win 10. Help

You can download the recovery files via Android. But you will need a PC to create a DVD boot disk.

you can use a rescue boot disk such as sergei strelec 2022. it contains many tools for repairing windows. its freeware. In my opinion, you should first clean the system of the malware that he or she installed, then proceed to recovery.

That is an excellent idea. I'm actually surprised i didn't think of doing so. Im usually quite anal and meticulous about anything and everything. Sergei strelek 2022, I'll have to research it.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] ocin96w:
Hey guys,

I tried to root my Honor 6x. It was going pretty well until the bootloader was unlocked. After a few restarts, however, the smartphone got stuck on the screen "your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted". Now I can't even get into recovery mode or anything else. So I can't connect to fastboot either.

When I turn off the phone, it turns back on and hangs in the same place. If I let the battery go empty and then charge it again, that doesn't improve the situation either. I don't see any way to connect or to influence the phone in any way. Power + Vol. up or Power + Vol. down don't work either.

Does anyone have any ideas what else I could do?

Thanks!

For a long time I had been looking for a music player that was simple, universal, lightweight, elegant, practical and ad-free, a music player that you could actually put in your custom ROM or just install it to replace the ugly Android stock music player that your phone manufacturer keeps including in every new release for some reason.

The fact is that the other day while I was repairing a Huawei Y5 2018, I noticed the existence of 2 firmware variants, one for the 1GB RAM version and one for the 2GB version, the 1GB variant included an ugly Android stock music player, while the 2 GB variant included a surprisingly cute and stylized music player with transparency effects that featured:

- Volume control on play screen

- Adaptive colors that change depending on the cover

- Song filter

- Off timer

- Support for lyrics

- Wide screen mode

- On some devices, the cover will replace the lock screen image

The first thing I did was to test the compatibility with other android devices, the Y5 2018 uses MTK 64 bit processor running Andorid 8.1.0, so I grabbed my Lenovo tablet with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 32 bit processor running Android 6.0.1 and tried to install it on it, and... it worked!
