[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] oZo:
I did the whole conversion (minus Magisk) and was wondering if I am able to restore th eoriginal Samsung firmware? I tried using Odin with the last official firmware for gts4lvwifi from SamMobile, but it fails. I was wondering if I had to Odin a different VBmeta.img first, or something.

Thanks.

I already know. The problem is even passing the test, i cant input any screen lock. Everytime i tried this msg appear "Screen lock was already changed. Try again with the new screen lock". Cant pass this step so cant move to fingerprint

You do not need to patch boot.img and flash it, only patching init_boot.img is needed.

The other thing that bothers me is that if you have Google Assistant enabled, it breaks voice dictation. So you can't voice text if you want Google Assistant enabled. So sad!

Thanks for the detailed guide.

But I came across this guide from Mr.PvT https://xdaforums.com/t/root-red-magic-8-pro-v3-18.4556901/

He mentioned "Note: Absolutely do not patch the boot file, you will have a continuous boot error"

Then which is the command to relock the phone? Uninstalled root and.....
[Red Magic 8 pro] mcfizzlestag:
It's pretty easy to root the phone, but it's a more finicky to keep lock screen and finger print functionality. This root guide is more comprehensive and if you read the whole thread you will have success.

What worked for me: Working lockscreen after unlocking + rooting

Just got my set today and started tinkering, managed to get it unlocked and rooted and lockscreen is working (both fingerprint and pin) Here is a summary of what I did, maybe not all steps are needed, but this is what worked for me on the first...

xdaforums.com

Took me a few tries to do it
[Red Magic 8 pro] Dont_touch7:
Somebody said flash boot.img and init_boot

and Somebody said no need for boot.img

Who is more accurate?

And should I flash a and b ? Or just write that command?

fastboot flash init_boot (located file)
[Red Magic 8 pro] DarkestSpawn:
init_boot is all you need to patch with Magisk to gain root. Just flash it to the active slot. If you dont know your current slot:

fastboot getvar current-slot
[Red Magic 8 pro] batuken:
Based on experience, you just have to run the command:

fastboot flash init_boot <patched_file>.img

It will automatically be flashed on the current active slot.

I want to buy a RM8.

Without root it's not possible to change fonts and themes?
[Red Magic 8 pro] MsSniffles:
You can probably change the themes using a 3rd party app but I haven't tried it. They do have their built in 3 themes on them but no option to change the font, only the font size.
[Red Magic 8 pro] agarth99:
Thanks for the explanation. I read a review about the UI that is customizable in many ways. Doesn't it have a theme store app to download other themes? It comes with Redmagic 6 OS?
[Red Magic 8 pro] MsSniffles:
Not that I know of so far, there's only 3 built-in themes and no link leading anywhere to open to their own theme store. Yes, it does comes with RedMagic 6 OS.

Check this link though. I haven't tinkered anywhere on it that much. What I wanted to do first is to change the font and the rest will follow. I have change the icons using the Smart Launcher pro. I have been out on the android for so long, back then it was easy to root, now it seemed so complicated. All I know and understand right now is jailbreak. Happy to be back on android though.

https://xdaforums.com/t/themes.4104779/
[Red Magic 8 pro] agarth99:
I found this, you can install the theme store from the app store.

https://www.reddit.com/r/RedMagic/comments/uwj36y
I don't think it's worth it buying a RM8. I've had Samsung since first Galaxy S, it has most developers, easy to root, themes, customization.
[Red Magic 8 pro] MsSniffles:
Thank you, I'll check them out.

Someone gave them to me for gaming and has no complains so far. I can play with no lag on them but I would like to hopefully customize them soon. Default fonts are so boring grr. lol
[Red Magic 8 pro] agarth99:
Default settings are always boring 🥱🙂

This is why I don't like ios.
[Red Magic 8 pro] aaa.bbb111222:
And recent ones have a punch hole in the screen. Also they removed like the most interesting Bluetooth features from 8g2 in S23 series. Price is twice as much as RM8P for no real benefit. And it's not hard to root RM8P, basically the same procedure as all other A13 devices.

The choice is highly subjective and depends heavily on use-case, so maybe for someone S23/+/U will be better, but not for everyone.
[Red Magic 8 pro] hasansinayan:
Hello, after rooting my redmagic 8 pro, will there be a part that doesn't work? For example, it is written that the fingerprint does not work, otherwise everything will be fine?
[Red Magic 8 pro] aaa.bbb111222:
Fingerprint scanner works fine, just turn off all screen locks before unlocking the bootloader.
[Red Magic 8 pro] hasansinayan:
As far as I understand, if I remove the bootloader lock without the screen lock on the device and do the things described in the first topic, I will not have any problems. Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately I have to live in a country where this device is not sold and is not common. My knowledge is limited.
[Red Magic 8 pro] hasansinayan:
Is there a Telegram group you are in, where I can get faster support?
[Red Magic 8 pro] MsSniffles:
Did it work for you? Did you encounter any problems after rooting? Like the lockscreen or fingerprint not working?

And on this guide I found - https://droidwin.com/root-nubia-red-magic-8-pro-via-magisk-patched-init_boot/

It said "It will degrade the Widevine L1 certification to L3, thereby preventing you from streaming content in HD [FIXED]. The SafetyNet will be triggered [FIXED], thereby preventing you from using banking apps [FIXED]."

"If the Safetynet test fails, then you wouldn’t be able to use any banking apps or streaming services like Netflix that make use of WideVine Certification." - I use Netflix a lot so I'm worried about those.

Have you had those problems? or What problems have you encountered after rooting?

I'm really getting bored looking at this phone lol and I'm itching to customize it so bad but I also want to be on the safe side. I don't want to end up with a brick phone. Appreciate the reply ^_^.
[Red Magic 8 pro] aaa.bbb111222:
Yes, you can install it. No, you don't need to patch init_boot.img once again. In fact, I've actually tried installing TWRP and it runs just fine (not really useful tho as it can't do much without decryption)
[Red Magic 8 pro] hasansinayan:
Thank you very much for your reply. The lack of encryption was bad but at least I would continue with usb otg, it is enough to work properly, thank you again. I just need to install it with the flash recovery img command then
[Red Magic 8 pro] dlads:
Is flash init required?

Can't we just use

Fastboot boot (name of patched boot image)

Then install directly using magisk once the patched image boots?
[Red Magic 8 pro] dlads:
Maybe could use /temp via twrp to sideload to.. then install from, we did this on the p20 pro a while back..

Not sure if it'll still work but it did then.

[General Questions and Answers] mrbelvedere:
What causes a soft reset loop? I have installed ITsPapaBlack Final * 20748.1.4.0 on my Wing & now every time I soft reset my device, I have to take my SD card out to let the phone boot up, then put it back in when booted. It is rather aggravating! I assume that a program on the card is trying to start up on soft reset & is conflicting in some way. I have BatteryStatus & UltimateLaunch on my home screen & WeatherPanel as one of the UL screens. I don't believe anything else runs from the SD card in the background. If anyone can help me or provide an answer or some advice, I would greatly appreciate it!

P.S.: I had ItsPapaBlack RC6 on my Wing previously (the Final version above has updated SYS & XIP) & never had this problem.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] O.J. Simpson:
"Why is it amazing? What's the benefits?"

AdAway.

No ads whatsoever on your phone - apps, web pages, no targeted ads based on your search history. That alone is worth rooting.

Also, you can mod the settings, add theming, etc. (AOSP mods module, for ex). Rooting let's you customize your device & allows for a better overall experience. It can cause issues with secure banking apps sometimes, but there are ways around that (thanks XDA!).

Hello,

I have install Project Elixir Rom on my Redmi 9 and now I have the error 5.10 on Netflix when I want play video. Play protect is certified and I don't want to root my device.

How to fix that ?

Thank
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Vinzie:
Because of the issue I had (the phone showed 'unknown number' for every incoming call when VOLTE was enabled) I manually switched the phone to EDGE network using the *#*#4636#*#* menu. But at later moment I also found the 'band selection' menu and switched it to Europe. I don't know if this change caused my new issue, but now my sim card is disabled after every reboot (the icoon is the same as if your simcard is not in the phone, a simcard icon with a X in it).

I can fix it, by ejecting and re-inserting the simcard. Everything works until the next reboot when I need to re-insert the simcard again.

I have contact with vivo support about this and they want me to go to their service center. But the closest service center is over 850 km away. I will cost me over 9 hours drive to get there.

I read that by erasing the modemst1 and modemst2 partitions I can erase all changes I've made with the 4636 menu. But in a locked state I cannot do this using the fastboot erase command.

Does anyone else recognize this problem ? Or know how to revert/undo the changes in the 4636 menu ? I already tried a factory reset twice. And also re-downloaded and install the software through the recovery menu, but the issue remains...
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] luontokoodaus:
So you broke the phone by digging around in settings you had no reason to. Your next idea is to break it even more? Just send it back. The phone has unknown number probably because your dialer app was set to not send your number when calling, which you can easily change without messing with VOLTE/GSM settings.

Just send it back to get it fixed and chalk this up as a lesson learned.
