Hi everyone...

We have the Chinese version of the Honor Magic 4 Yesterday I got 14 Android and Magic OS 8.0

Screenshot in Russian, he writes there :

Good afternoon, forum members. In My Honor (I have a Chinese) the Magic 8.0 open test has started. After clicking, the 174 firmware arrives, after installing it, comes Magic 8.0.

In the settings, you can activate Google services, the notification bar can be pulled from anywhere, flash notifications, and much more.

[Honor Magic4 Pro] mkovnet:
Hi everyone. I've got a problem updating the phone. Got it for a great price, but it just doesn't want to move from Magic UI 6.0.0, Android 12. How can that be?

Any piece of advice would be welcome.
[Honor Magic4 Pro] Zolpidem:
@mkovnet try a different SIM card
[Honor Magic4 Pro] mkovnet:
Yeah, tried with a couple of them, the end result is always the same.... Thanks
[Honor Magic4 Pro] Zolpidem:
@mkovnet did you use the first SIM tray? Have you tried different operators? I saw that some people have had better luck buying a cheap German eSIM online just for the purpose of updating their Huawei or Honor device.
[Honor Magic4 Pro] mkovnet:
Thanks for the help. I've tried 3 different domestic SIM cards, no luck. Maybe I'll try that eSim at this point. Just sucks that it has to be that hard.
[Honor Magic4 Pro] mkovnet:
Installing now, worked with an eSim from Holafly
[Honor Magic4 Pro] Zolpidem:
@mkovnet yep it's ridiculous that we have to go to such lengths but glad that it helped
[Honor Magic4 Pro] mkovnet:
Thank you for your help!
[Honor Magic4 Pro] bogdan.berbece:
Hi, my phone is stuck with UI 6.0.0.115. I have tried several local SIM and eSIM from RedteaGO, but the phone doesn't update. Which eSIM from holafly worked for you? Thanks in advance.
[Honor Magic4 Pro] mkovnet:
Hi... Just select Germany as the country you need the data in, and you'll actually be given an eSim that begins with +43. It's the calling code for Austria but it worked for me, got all the updates.
[Honor Magic4 Pro] bogdan.berbece:
After you had installed the eSIM, how much did you have to wait for the updates? In which country do you use it? I'm asking this because my phone is not updating after 1 hour from eSIM was installation. Sorry to bother you!
[Honor Magic4 Pro] Zolpidem:
Using a regular SIM it was instantaneous for me. I believe that it does need to be the primary SIM for it to work.
[Honor Magic4 Pro] mkovnet:
Just try to leave that eSim as the only one switched on and connect to a Wi-Fi, that worked for me

Hi.

I got the motherboard for my old Magic 4 Pro replaced. now it went all the way back to Magic 6 OS. and OTA updates aren't working. the EMI was changed.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] sparker781:
I currently have the HD Fire 8 2020 that I got free but it's slow as all get out. I found a few awesome threads to remove the bloatware but it's still just meh. I see the newer version Fire HD 8 2022 version. Is that worth it? I mean I am in the Apple ecosystem and want an iPad mini from 2022 but $300+ vs $150 I think I'd go the cheaper route? I mean who here has it and can tell if it's overall a better tablet. I understand that you get what you pay for.

Just looking for reviews/opinions

Try mFSTRIM app - it should run trim on your flash memory, can make things faster. The app is available from the play store, no need to sideload now:

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] bibikalka:
Yes, the app needs more access rights - can provide those via adb.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] sparker781:
Considering I have no idea what that is. I'll assume, it has to do with something that needs to get done on the device itself?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] bibikalka:
It tells you what it is! After you enable adb, run this:

adb shell pm grant com.draco.mfstrim android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

This way mFSTRIM can now set the frequency.

Hi all.

I updated my device two days ago to MUI 14 and the results was that Xiaomi (again) left me without transparency in the control center.

This is happened when install MUI 13 but I was able to fix easily (putting a status bar from other theme).

But this time with MUI 14 nothing seems to work.

Any work around to fix this in MIUI 14?

If I root my device, where I can find a tutorial to fix this with Magisk?

Thanks in advance for any help

I'm on stock, realme ui 4.0 and april security patch.

In recent months I've struggled to get fast charge right away when I plug in the charger, but I've given it a couple of tries and always succeeded. From yesterday it's not been possible to get any fast charge. No matter how many times I've tried and retried. Any advice from the forum?

Try cleaning the charging port i had the same issue and after cleaning it works well
[Realme GT] dingusbrekt:
Thanks for the reply, I'll give it another try.
[Realme GT] sureshra:
It could be an issue with the charging brick too. Try some trouble shooting by using another Fast Charger to check if your device is fast charging. Also try using your current charging brick to charge another phone with Fast Charge capabilities. By doing this you can figure out if the issue is with the Phone or the Charging Brick.

Hello everyone! I've successfully installed Pixel Experience 13 (PixelExperience_merlinx-13.0-20221113-1311-OFFICIAL) on my Redmi Note 9 merlin device and everything was great until I installed magisk, it asked me to reboot for extended setup and then I got thrown in TWRP recovery with nothing but: "init user 0 failed".

I took a screenshot of manager logs before rebooting and it looked like the screenshot I attached.

I couldn't try anything since I did this late at night and I had school and needed my phone. I had to reflash PEX.

This is the most information I can provide.

Thank you for creating the thread @Zezo 089 , I am using Oppo A5s and now I found a way to root the phone.

I've already download all the requirements first to prepare.

But, I could not run the "MTK CLIENT TOOL V5.2".

It was just nothing appear when I double click the application.

I use Windows 11. Did it caused by the Windows?

Other question is what step is the boot.img file needed?

[Oppo A5s (AX5s)] Khalyl22:
bro this guide is so long and boring and not safe

the best way to root this phone is through mtk client (github)

with that tool you can

1.backup the whole firmware in case of an error or a malfunction

2. unlock bootloader of any mediatek phone including oppo a5s

3. rooting this device without any risk

4. you can flash any partition if something happened within this tool without the use of SP Flash tool

the link: https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
[Oppo A5s (AX5s)] ZG_DEV:
Bro

I made this guide with all of its details to help advanced people , especially The Beginners

+ Bro, i concerned using MTK Client Tool to unlock bootloader 🙂 , Warned people to backup the WHOLE DATA and flash the boot.img after patching (using SP flash tool)

But it is also a good point to flash any partitions if a brick happened or something else using SP flash tool
[Oppo A5s (AX5s)] ZG_DEV:
NOTE THAT I WARNED PEOPLE BEFORE DOING THIS 🙂
[Oppo A5s (AX5s)] ZG_DEV:
+ Why tf they backup the rom ?

as they can download the Flashable Official rom , and flash it using SP FLASH TOOL ( consider that you should untick preloader before flashing to avoid bricking your device)
[Oppo A5s (AX5s)] ZG_DEV:
@Anonymous V What are your comments about that ?
[Oppo A5s (AX5s)] Anonymous V:
actually he is just saying about what can you do using the MTK client tool not "what to do about it " and i dont know if he really read your tutorial because this guy " @Khalyl22 "

sounds that he just wants to sounds smart and also boring? i dont know why he said that but its better to give a long and detailed tutorial to give people more info and understanding about what to do to avoid error and to give comfort to people while doing it and i dont fcking know why he said that its not safe although you give all the necessary steps to avoid error while doing it including the warning " Please Backup you Phone before Doing This " and also i think his not aware about the MTK client Gui version which you used in your tutorial i recommend the Gui version for the people who cant handle the terminal version because they are afraid in getting error i think he is pointing about the MTK client terminal version which i often used, also bro there is a reason why he said backup your whole firmware before doing it and actually his right about that when you backup your whole firmware in your phone you can backup all the data,apps,system preferences,imei and other things which you can restore if the phone fcked up where as the stock flashable rom is different its because its already set by default or factory default by the manufacturer which means its back to old state when you bought the phone well it depends though if you dont care about the data in your phone you can just reflash the stock flashable rom and if you care about the data in your phone you can backup your phones firmware and use that later to restore your phone.

Hello where should I be flashing this? SP Flash Tool accept .bin format in lk , so I'm guessing this should be flashed in TWRP, right?

[Oppo A5s (AX5s)] jimenezshown:
@Zezo 089 I did, just wondering why lk2 is also checked everytime I launch the sp tool even though lk.bin is the only file. To be more specific lk and lk2 are both checked but their location is set to lk.bin so I wanted some confirmation whether lk should be the only one checked or should consider checking lk2 too. Last time I flashed lk.bin, I unchecked the lk2 so only lk was checked and flashed.

remove you dm-verity using this file flash it in you phone using twrp
[Oppo A5s (AX5s)] jimenezshown:
can you guide me what particular twrp should I install, how to install or whether it could be compatible with the magisk? I'mma try the method as soon as I gets spare time. Thanks in advance.
[Oppo A5s (AX5s)] Anonymous V:
twrp doesn't depend in magisk so you dont need to worry heres the file you can install this using SP flash tool create a folder name it TWRP recovery inside put the recovery image then put the scatter file and preloader.bin inside the created folder then open the sp flash and select the folder " TWRP recovery' " and load the scatter file then untick the preloader leaving only the recovery press start and connect your phone to the pc and let the tool do the magick and viola you successfully flash the recovery, test your twrp by booting in the recovery then if it did successfully booted reformat your phone using twrp go to Wipe->Reformat phone-> then type yes wait until its done then reboot back to recovery go to reboot>recovery then after that locate the zip file that i gave to you in the sdcard then press and slide to flash it then after the flashing is done reboot the phone and viola dm-verity disappears dont worry i assure you it will work because i tried it myself although my phone is not oppo A5s
[Oppo A5s (AX5s)] jimenezshown:
@Anonymous V one more thing, if I wanted to return to stock recovery and not going to use twrp anymore, can i recover it using the stock firmware I backup before I rooted the phone? or it's possible with the twrp though?
[Oppo A5s (AX5s)] Anonymous V:
its possible for both if you want to revert back to stock you can use twrp or sp but but for the best use twrp because its easy and clean also if you only need the stock recovery just extract it from your backup and transfer in your sdcard before flashing again

Hello, i was trying to install gsi roms, but before that i wanted to install stock boot.img and lk.img (i modified it previously to remove dm-verity error message as desribed in this thread). But when i flashed the images, my phone got bricked and it can only "boot" into brom. I cannot boot into system nor recovery. I can flash images using sp flash tool, and I tried flashing stock and patched boot.img, but no luck, the phone is still bricked. Do you have any ideas how to unbrick the phone?
[Oppo A5s (AX5s)] ZG_DEV:
Firstly : welcome to XDA world 🌎

Secondly: did u flash preloader with them ? Also flash the patched boot.img that it has been patched by the CURRENT version of magisk that u installed :)

Also when u patched using magisk , magisk asks u to choose things , what are those ?

- Side note : I see that u were trying to uninstall magisk (uninstall root), right ??? Bro , do NOT flash stock boot.img in order to uninstall magisk (root), if u want to uninstall it, simply go to Magisk app and click uninstall magisk ( in the app itself) and get processed to the next steps that the app tells u :)
[Oppo A5s (AX5s)] user12093487:
Thanks for your help, but i eventually fixed everything by doing steps from this thread. I then flashed aosp through twrp, but i have previously been uninstalling magisk improperly multiple times (i have been rooting and using custom roms on oppo a5s before this guide even existed), and when i try uninstalling it now magisk says no stock image backup found and tries to uninstall anyway.

Magisk still exists on the device (the app asks for full installation when launched), and this is not surprising, but is there a way to fix this or is my device permanently broken?

I would also like to remove dm-verity error message, though now i think it may be related to magisk, so i would like to fix it first.

BTW if u tested GSIs can u tell me about them and ur experience on them ? (Pls say them briefly)
[Oppo A5s (AX5s)] user12093487:
Yes, what tool?

I used multiple versions of AOSP, LineageOS and Ressurection Remix GSIs, with varying levels of success. I dont remember how most of them turned out, and i cant test it right now, because apparently the version of TWRP that is able to flash ROMs gives an error when installing certain ROMs (something related to 64-bit ROMs), and i cant get fastboot working by installing adb&fastboot NDK from magisk. Previously i had working fastboot, but i have been unable to replicate the steps i did to use it nor find any other way.

Not having fastboot is probably the main thing holding me back.
[Oppo A5s (AX5s)] user12093487:
Also i already had an unlocked bootloader, but the dm-verity error only appeared after doing the steps in this guide.

Tell me what worked (booted with the phone) And where did u get them ?

And oh yes sorry for these huge numbers of questions but u didn't tell me what android version of those roms worked ?

Also did u test Gsi or custom rom ?

A gsi is just something like a custom rom but it only consists of a system image that works universally with mostly all phones
[Oppo A5s (AX5s)] ZG_DEV:
Bro's dead 💀
[Oppo A5s (AX5s)] user12093487:
As far as i know there are no custom ROMs for Oppo A5s, only GSI.

The main list for gsi images is this: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list

This phone only supports gsi roms based on Android 10 or lower, according to this page. The page also contains some tested roms.

The rom versions for this device is arm64 a-only(non-SaR).

I have only tried diffrent versions of AOSP, LineageOS and Resurrection Remix. And i havent written down all the ones i was able to boot, unfortunately, so i only know two ROMs that work:

AOSP - https://github.com/phhusson/treble_.../v222/system-quack-arm64-aonly-vanilla.img.xz and Resurrection_Remix_8.6.5_arm64-a_vanilla (no link, but i may upload the file if needed).

To install them, you either need fastboot or TWRP/PBRP that can access SD card (i think TWRP cannot install certain roms that PBRP can)

Also note that diffrent versions of the same OS or even the same version but gapps/floss/vanilla may have drastically difrent results when installing them - from not working at all to working with some issues to working almost without issues.
[Oppo A5s (AX5s)] ZG_DEV:
