[General Questions and Answers] Zero.Tech.Savvy:
Checking back and bumping. There was just one reply on another thread. Please, someone has to know of this Google and Android system hacking apps combo floating around in Google Developer and Firebase. It's a real thing, and my nightmare now. I will not censure if you developed it or are using it on someone other than me. However, I beg you to reconsider if you are. There are days that I feel that worrying about the safety of my kids and if he does show up somewhere I'm at with a grudge to settle is too much to handle. Not everyone has the ability to get through that. I did not deserve his controlling abuse when we were together and there seems to be no way to get out from under his thumb currently. The local cyber cops have been of no help. They either do not believe this happening, these types of apps exist and what they do are possible (One said, "Those kind of things are just in James Bond movies"), or they think there is no imminent threat because there aren't bruises and the little I do have in the bank has not been touched after closing and opening numerous accounts to keep him out. I make just enough to support my kids and myself. Banking, online shopping, and social media are impossible, and the time is now spent trying to end this on my own. Please, help is needed. One of the members on here has to know what the hell this is.

Thank you again.

He has had remote unrestricted access to my devices. The <rooted> is one of his reminders he is there, as well as <bootloadermode>, or the locking up or turning on 911 calls only. This hasn't been fun, either having it happen en use or waking up to it. I do not allow this. New devices, new Google accounts, never syncing, and never logging into old accounts. However, no one seems to be able to figure out how he gets into new devices once they enter the house. New routers, modems, entire internet accounts, he still weasels his way in. The hacking apps are Google Developer based, this I know. Try getting info on that out of Google without a warrant. Cyber cops have brushed this under the rug since there has been no physical or financial harm, as of yet.

He lived with me when we were dating. Is there a device that may be in my home that could hi-jack my wifi, allow him to sign into my device, and show it as my device while VPN-ing an address even after all the changes? (I seems to travel all over the place on occasion according to my IP addresses that show up) The location tracking and call/text monitoring is real, as he has shown up or had let things said in my private (ha!) conversations with others slip. Of course he has nothing to do with this. (ha! again)

Any help or input on this would be greatly appreciated. I have looked things up at the library until my eyes bled. I can only comprehend so much without an IT background. I do not have the money for a cyber forensic investigator, and I know the local police probably have me on the Crazy Crying Wolf list. Which is just as embarrassing as knowing that having a complete lack of privacy in my life is a total nightmare.

Thank you again.
[Asus Zenfone 9] Dester.exe:
Here is a short guide if you are want to upgrade Firmware while retaining Magisk Root and TWRP Recovery.

This works for Firmware WW-33.0804.2060.142 + Magisk 26.1

1. Download newest AI2202-ASUS-Firmware.zip + twrp-installer-3.7.0_12-0-AI2202.zip + Magisk.apk and place them in internal storage

2. (optional) Remove Device Screen Lock / Password

3. (optional) Backup Data in TWRP

4. In TWRP: Install new Firmware.zip + twrp-installer.zip directly afterwards (ignore mounting errors)

(this needs to be done together otherwise Firmware.zip will overwrite Recovery to stock Revovery)

5. Reboot into TWRP Recovery (to change slot), then install Magisk.apk and wipe Dalvik

6. Reboot and you are done (optional) set up Screen Lock

7. Magisk 26.1 Requires Additional Setup. Open Magisk Manager and chose "Direct Install", then reboot.

Hope this is useful to some :)

Edit 02.06.2023: added step 7. for Magisk Magisk 26.1

this guide looks really familiar I'm sure I've seen it somewhere oh yeah

I'm just kidding of course it's a good guide good information
[Asus Zenfone 9] Hermann2306:
Thanks for the guide, worked for me.

I have used the latest v26 magisk. There is a new sepolicy.rule implementation so you have to do a reinstall of magisk after the first boot. For me it doesnt work with the app (maybe i did something wrong (the app hide, or uninstall v25 first)). After install a patched boot.img via fastboot everything is ok.
[Asus Zenfone 9] gladykov:
Hey @Dester.exe @Hermann2306 , I just came exactly for this, but 3 things are not clear to me, could you please clarify? I'm so used to other process and I do not want to mess something.

1. For first time rooting there is this procedure: https://xdaforums.com/t/rooting-zenfone-9-with-magisk.4484715/ - I do not need to do it anymore ? Just flash latest Magisk from TWRP ?

2. What happens between step 4 and 5 ? I need to select something, or just doing reboot from twrp recovery into twrp recoery should be enough?

3. What is a difference between twrp-installer.zip and twrp-3.7.0_12-0-AI2202.img ? I'm so used to just flash img from command line, and the fact installer is only 27 MB and IMG is 100 MB makes me anxious.
[Asus Zenfone 9] Hermann2306:
1. If you upgrade the firmware as described here in post 1 flashing magisk with twrp is enough.

2. Im not sure, but before you hit reboot twrp shows you the active slot and you can choose wich slot to use. Just take the other one.

3. The img is for flashing with fastboot, the installer is for "install" within twrp after the firmware update. You have to do this before a reboot because the update replaces twrp with stock recovery.

The difference in size is the compression of the zip file i think.
[Asus Zenfone 9] Dester.exe:
1. Answered by @Hermann2306

2. Good question. I struggled myself to understand it, since Zenfone 9 is my first A/B partition phone. To claify: Let's assume you are on Slot A (active slot) - Slot B is inactive. When you flash the system image it will install on inactive slot B and marks that Slot B as active Slot. So the moment you reboot you phone it will automatically switch the slots (in this case to slot B) and boot with that. No manual switching is required. Slot B does not have Magisk thogh, that is the reason why after the reboot you need to flash magisk. If you look closley to the log while installing Magisk, it will tell you which slot it is installing to.

3. It is infact the compression as @Hermann2306 pointed out. Take a look at the screenshot. Once you extract the "twrp-installer.zip" it will be 100 MB

Hope that helps and happy flashing!
[Asus Zenfone 9] WoKoschekk:
A twrp.img is a 1:1 image of a /recovery partition or rather this is a complete recovery.

A boot.img and a recovery.img have identically structures inside the image and both can boot up your device. Either into system or into recovery. These images always contain a kernel, kernel_dtb (hardware drivers) and a ramdisk.img (minimum rootfs to boot your OS).

Since Google published devices with A/B slots the recovery is merged into the boot.img and is now located inside the ramdisk.img (a recovery is only a binary that gets executed).

The installer.zip contains

- a magiskboot binary to un-/repack a boot.img or recovery.img to get kernel, kernel_dtb and ramdisk

- a compressed ramdisk.img (ramdisk.cpio) of your twrp.img that replaces the stock ramdisk.img inside your boot.img

By flashing the zip your boot.img gets unpacked, its ramdisk.img will be deleted and then a new boot.img will be repacked using the TWRP's ramdisk.img.
[Asus Zenfone 9] WoKoschekk:
Slot A is active. Using only a raw image file that gets flashed on your device, TWRP will use the active slot. The only way to flash the inactive slot is to use a update.zip with a payload.bin. This triggers the update-engine which sets the inactive slot as flashable since updates are always meant to be installed on the inactive slot.

platform/system/update_engine - Git at Google
[Asus Zenfone 9] Dester.exe:
Thanks for the indepth explanation.

Zenfone 9 official firmware updates are using exactly that payload.bin mechanism you were refering to.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] BunnyPig:
Is there any way to set a specific apps volume?

I am literally going mad over the fact that Google assistant is linked to media volume. Since I always have media volume at 25% I can't hear what the assistant says...

I've tried Google with no avail, I can only find threads leading to a Samsung store locked app and to apps removed from play store.

I am rooted and I've looked at magisk modules but can't find anything there either.

Is it just impossible on pixel devices to adjust assistant volume seperate from media volume?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xtcislove:
Macrodroid/Tasker would work.

Would be something like:

If "google assistant" in foreground set volume to "x%".
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] BunnyPig:
I tried looking at tasker but I can't find Google assistant as an app there.

And also, I couldn't understand how to get it to turn volume back to previous value afterwards when I was testing around on other apps.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xtcislove:
idk about tasker but im sure you can do it with macrodroid.

You can pick the app or define the package name.

You can pick actual volume probably with macrodroid internal tools but 100% with command line (adb shell dumpsys audio) you can store the value in a custom variable and restore this value if assistant is not in foreground anymore.

I sure its doable with macrodroid
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] BunnyPig:
I tried using macrodroid now but it doesn't do anything when I speak to assistant. I allowed accessibility option, root, disabled battery optimization etc but it won't do anything. Tried using screen content as well but same result unfortunately.

Is it anything wrong with the macro itself?

Edit: added another image to show some other triggers I've tried.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xtcislove:
Its working for me.

If i say hey google media is set to 100%, if i exit it get set to 25%.

You only need a way now to capture the volume you used before. Thats pretty easy too. I can look tomorrow or later if you cant get it to work.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] BunnyPig:
Tried your macro but still doesn't do anything. If I just try it on something else, say phone app it works flawlessly same as mine did, but not Google assistant. Have you installed the play store version (asking because I can install the store version but it's already installed with the stock os so I haven't)?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cmh714:
I tried to make this work in Tasker, and at least on QPR3 I couldnt get it to work....the app is Assistant so should be one of the first apps in the list.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xtcislove:
I made a full wipe today and installed latest A13 stable release from march 13.

You might like to tick the box to show system apps and try it with the 2 assistant apps (xenrollment and the other).

You might need to install Macrodroid Helper app....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] BunnyPig:
I have the assistant boxes checked (both of them) in the previous image I've posted.

I also tried installing the play store version of assistant to see if that made any difference but no, macrodroid does nothing when assistant opens.

I'll try macrodroid helper later to see if that makes any difference.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] BunnyPig:
Update: it now just works, well, wonky but it works. I set a timer instead of the trigger fired and it works, but only when the phone is unlocked. If it's sleeping and I ask the assistant something it won't raise the volume, or rather the triggers won't work. Is this normal or have I missed a setting that prevents macrodroid from working while the phone is sleeping?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wooki:
If you're rooted you could use this:

https://www.xda-developers.com/app-volume-control-individual-volume-levels-android/

It allows to individually set volumes per app.

I'm using it to be able to let Spotify run as background music while playing games.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] BunnyPig:
Doesn't work either, I tried it earlier and I tried iy again just to be sure, I manually add Google and Google assistant at 100% volume but it doesn't do anything. I made sure to disable macrodroid as well just in case it would interfere but it made no difference.

Also, that app won't recognize assistant in the audio stream, so I don't think it will be able to control the volume from assistant. That's what I gathered from reading the documentation as well.

Did anyone see this message on his Oppo phone (screenshot attached in the second post)?

[Google Pixel 6a] mlolz93:
Hello all

I've used the boot.img and found it to be inconvenient as id have to redo this with every ota update, instead I use adb magisk.zip and keep root after ota updates, is this incorrect as I've not seen the method I am currently using spoken about at all and everyone directs to use .IMG or at least all the root guides I've come across
[Google Pixel 6a] V0latyle:
What do you mean by "adb magisk.zip"?
[Google Pixel 6a] mlolz93:
Apologies, in recovery mode send the zip to install
[Google Pixel 6a] V0latyle:
With the stock recovery? As far as I know this shouldn't work because the stock recovery will only accept official signed images.
[Google Pixel 6a] mlolz93:
Sorry no with lineage recovery

Definitly have root, can use several tools that show as much. So I just find it odd that with all tutorials that I have come across, the ones for custom ROMs will say to use boot.img and that doesn't make a lot of sense considering that it'll loose root after an update.

Anyway I'm left wondering why people default to boot.img which takes more steps and is overall more inconvenient.. Or is there a trade off that I am missing
[Google Pixel 6a] V0latyle:
Because that's how to root the Pixels - you have to patch the boot image. There are a number of ways to do this: you can manually patch it in Magisk; you can live boot a previously patched image and use temporary root to perform Direct Install in Magisk; you can live boot a custom recovery (if on the stock ROM) and install Magisk that way; or you can sideload Magisk in custom recovery.

The reason why updating breaks root is because the boot image gets overwritten with a "clean" unpatched image. This will happen regardless of the method you use to root, so you'll have to re-root every time you update.
[Google Pixel 6a] mlolz93:
Side loading the .zip is way easier and I've not lost root after updating so to me seems like the better method.

because I've not seen it used in guides I was concerned that they're was a trade off.

I will assume side loading the .zip is the better method.

Cheers @V0latyle
[Google Pixel 6a] imna357:
Same here, I used adb when rooting only with custom recovery, lineage update with no problem, flash it to inactive slot before rebooting to finished update, make sure you disable the magisk modules that you have to prevent bootlooping😁
[Google Pixel 6a] V0latyle:
For LOS, yeah it would be easier.

You actually do lose root after updating, but when you sideload Magisk, you're patching the new boot image
[Google Pixel 6a] imna357:
Nope, mine is still rooted when I updated on 04/08.
[Google Pixel 6a] imna357:
I disabled all my modules, start the updater and after ready to install I went to Magisk and install it to inactive slot, then reboot.
[Google Pixel 6a] mlolz93:
I'd retained root for 2 update but with the last one I had to reinstall to inactive slot

hi there

I use a stowaway slim bluetooth keyboard for years now.

It worked nicely on my i780 and on all devices before.

but on the X1, it reacts slowly. biggest problem is that when i type a word, it recognizes the space bar key just a little too late, so instead of

"bob goes to school" i get something like "bobg oest os chool"...

especially if i type quick.

it works much better with the built in HID driver, but then i lose the nice layout. maybe somebody has built an AEKMap file for the stowaway slim?

somebody has an idea?

thanks

Tried to install TWRP for REDMI NOTE 11S, but just after a few seconds into the recovery, the phone shuts down and keeps on a loop.

Is there any recommendable MIUI version i shall use to avoid this? Or any extra step im missing?

here are the command im using:
​

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot flash boot recovery.img

I don't think there is any reliable and stable versions of custom recovery for this phone yet.

Even I tried installing orange fox and it kept bootlooping.

You can try flashing the twrp install zip file after booting to twrp and see if the problem still exists. But I have a feeling it won't.

The best you can do to stop bootlooping is to not have a custom recovery at all.
[Redmi Note 11S 4G / POCO M4 Pro 4G (fleur)] YajirobaiSan:
I have a bootloop problem with a MI note 11s phone (Mtk helio g96). I unlocked the bootloader with a bypass MTKclient. I Installed the TWRP recovery. Then I installed MAGISK v22.1 via flash through recovery and I restarted the phone in fastboot mode with TWRP.

Since that moment the device is on bootloop mode. I am not able to switch off the device. I tried allí combination avalaible: Vol + , Vol - , power on. There aren't avalaible recovery o fastboot mode. Neither works on BROMmode with Mtkclient.

I have left the device run out of battery. But when I connect It the USB charge the device automatically switch and It start on bootloop again.

Anyone knows how to fix It.

(The recovery o fastboot mode don't start It)

Aidan's ROM Android TV 7.1.2 (successfully s flashed in)

Problem: no BCM wife normal resolution only ssupport 1080p 60fps my monitor is 2k 144fps

I think it's because my system version is too low, or there is no some driver that causes the resolution to be low

So I saw another rom

This is the best one I've seen so far for me

But I can't get this firmware in using usb_tools

There is an error report exception (device enumeration error)

I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with the way I'm doing it, because I flashed Aidan's ROM Android TV 7.1.2 with the same operation

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] zoinksy:
I am trying to Unlock my bootloader, Install TWRP then install Magisk for the customizations. I connected my Mi Account on my phone, and I have to wait 5 more days from the 7 days wait period. Meanwhile I was wondering If there were any simple tutorials for Installing TWRP out here, or any specific channel/video you guys would recommend for my phone. which I can watch and prepare myself, while I wait.

I checked YouTube, there are a few good tutorials there, but they each do a slightly different method, or they mention that all the Xiaomi phones will have the same method but go on to mention that "for this specific X phone you will have to do slightly differently" and that's where It gets confusing.

I don't want to end up bricking my phone in the process, that's why I was looking to ask directly in the forums so I can get more relevant suggestions, rather than just watching a YouTube follow along video which the channel owner doesn't check comments on.

Any suggestions, recommendations welcome :)
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] percharnel:
Suggestion before flashing the ROM you need to read the whole page of the ROM because it's the number one thing that people missed up and bricking their phone because they don't read the whole post. Also backup your data.
