Here's how I rooted the phone ..

enabled oem unlock in developer settings

rebooted to download mode and long pressed vol up and confirmed my choice (it will wipe all data)

skipped through the set up as it will wipe again when rooting

downloaded the latest firmware using frija on the pc

downloaded the latest magisk (26.1) and installed on the phone

copied the AP file from the firmware to the phone

in magisk choose 'install' then 'select and patch a file'

patched the AP file and copied back to the downloaded folder on the pc

installed odin (unticked the auto reboot in options)

back into download mode and flashed the patched AP file together with BL, CP CSC

rebooted manually (long pressed vol down and power buttons)

went through the set up, opened magisk and it asks to reboot, after that you should be rooted

if you run into any problems let me know and I'll try to help

I believe you can use google pay but again with many steps involved, better find out for sure before rooting as there's no going back once you've flashed a custom recovery binary
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5] Respectful:
Very grateful to you.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5] Perinis82:
Hi,

Your explanations seem pretty clear but what am I supposed to do when in download mode ?

I enabled OEM unlock and USB debogging in phone settings, and restarted in download mode with "adb reboot download" command. At that point, I am stuck : if I long press any button, nothing happens and I cannot unlock bootloader.

EDIT : I was a fool as I was not rebooting in the good download mode !

Just found this youtube video and the BL is unlocked. Let's root now :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5] beanbean50:
Hi,

I don't know if it makes any difference but try this way..

Power off the phone, then press and hold the vol+ and vol - and plug in the USB cable, then you should be able to press and hold the vol+ .... good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5] Perinis82:
Yeah, success !

As I did not know how to boot download mode, I've used the "old way" which leads to another download mode where one cannot unlock bootloader but only flash from Odin.

Your help saved my wife's new phone :)

Thanks again !
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5] Frontier3:
I've been on Sony for the last 8 years or so and I'm no longer clear on what I really gain from rooting if I'm not also installing a custom ROM. Aside from being able to run like titanium backup what else do I gain from rooting? And what drawbacks are there?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5] beanbean50:
I always root because I can block all the creepy permissions that apps like to use to spy on the phone. Does my calculator app really need to know my location? lol

And able to disable dozens of system & Samsung apps that I'll never use.

Also blocking system wide ads is a breeze with adaway and I'm able to flash some cool themes not found in the theme store.

For me there are no real downsides to rooting, but for some it might be a problem losing Samsung pay etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5] Frontier3:
Hm, easy ad-block is pretty nice.

Does being rooted mess up OTA updates? I thought that used to be the case
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5] beanbean50:
Yes it does stop OTA updates (I forget about that!) but not a real problem as you can download and flash the latest firmware/OTA in Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5] Frontier3:
does flashing wipe out all your app data or does applying an update via odin work the same as installing it via the normal OTA update.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5] beanbean50:
As long as you flash the 'HOME CSC' (along with the newly patched AP file) you should be fine, but it's always best to backup as much as you can just incase.

Titanium backup is old hat these days btw, stopped working properly years ago and no development. I now use 'Swift backup' which backs up most things that I need (wifi passwords, sms msgs, phone calls etc) but remember to copy the swift backup file from your phone to your computer so you can restore it later, or for a couple of quid buy the pro version and can backup/restore in the cloud.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5] Frontier3:
Ah, that shows how long I've been in the non-rooted world. Thanks for the tip on Swift backup.

[General Questions and Answers] Borosin:
Hi,

I just noticed that on My Andoid 12 phone (Xiaomi / MIUI), Android "remembers" the settings for notifications of apps permanently, as it seems.

When installing a new app, there are default settings that the app presumably requests, like floating notifications = on, notification badges = off, vibration = on, and so on..

When i change them manually, even after uninstalling an app and rebooting, my custom settings are back after the app is re-installed.

That's not the case with permission settings, which are reset to default after clearing the data of an app. I expected the same to be the case of notifications...but it isn't.

Any idea how / why Android does this?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Android stores notification settings for apps in the following location:

/data/data/<package_name>/shared_prefs/notification_channels.xml

where <package_name> is the package name of the app.
[General Questions and Answers] Borosin:
Thanks a lot!

MIUI seems to be doing this differently, though... not a single "notification_channels.xml" to be found in the indicated location.

I then searched the whole root partition, just for the sake of it :LOL:, and still nothing.

I'll keep looking. :)
[General Questions and Answers] Borosin:
Found it, in case anyone is interested.

In MIUI it really is different. The notification preferences are saved in the files

and

I did a brief cat in termux, and the first one seems to contain the settings, the second one a list of installed apps.

So the settings of ALL apps ever installed are stored in one single file, and they're not removed after uninstalling. o_O

Hey everyone,

I hope you're all doing well. I'm facing a bit of a challenge with location spoofing for Uber on my rooted Android 12 Samsung A04 device. I've tried a number of steps and modules, but Uber still seems to be detecting the mock location service. I'm hoping some of you experienced folks can help me troubleshoot this issue.

Device and Setup Details:

Phone: Samsung A04

Android Version: Android 12

Root Status: Rooted

Modules Installed:

LSposed

Universal Safety Net Fix 2.1.3-MOD_3.0

Systemless Hosts

Issue Description: Despite trying the above setup, Uber is still detecting the mock location service and is not functioning as it should. I've followed various guides and discussions, but I seem to be missing something. Here's what I've already done:

Request for Help: I would greatly appreciate it if some of you could provide some guidance or suggestions on what might be causing the issue or any steps I might have missed. If you've successfully managed to spoof your location on a similar setup, I'd love to hear your insights. Additionally, if there are any known workarounds or solutions, please let me know.

I understand that location spoofing can be a bit tricky and that there might be potential risks involved, but I'm committed to using these techniques responsibly and within legal boundaries.

Thank you all in advance for your time and help. Looking forward to your suggestions and solutions!

Best regards,

Koko7777

have you been able to go online recently on your rooted device? since the beginning of august uber stop allowing rooted devices to go online, it let you do everything else but once you try to go online it gives you an error. have you tried to install the mock location app as system app. that's what i did and it worked for me until uber started to not let rooted devices go online
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amn1987:
Try the GPS Setter LSPosed module. Also to hide root from apps Magisk Delta +Magisk Hide is superior in my experience compared to the official Magisk + Shamiko.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koko7777:
Hi , i have downloaded magisk-delta but it is version 26.1,

now i read here - https://xiaomiui.net/how-to-use-magisk-hide-5610/ that to use MagiskHide i need a version 23 for the Magisk Delta because in newer it is not available? Should i tried like these, Also in Magisk Hide i should add Uber and the Google services right, the mock app should be in the developer options Mock app , right? I will try with this GPS setter that you are telling , but do you know do i need HIde Mock location for LsPosed too and there to add also the app ? If you have additional or further details, I would greatly appreciate your sharing them. Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amn1987:
Official Magisk removed support for Magisk Hide sometime back but the Magisk Delta dev resurrected it. Just use the latest MD without any worries. Yes you need to hide root from Uber, Play Store and Play Services (com.google.android.gms

com.google.android.gms.unstable

com.google.android.gms:snet)

Just try with the GPS Setter module and follow the instructions. It's mentioned in the OP that there's no need to "Allow Mock Location".

Hi, I've tried everything you said here but uber still detecting root. please help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amn1987:
Where exactly Uber throw a tantrum on detecting root? There's no service in my current location so I used GPS Setter module to spoof the location of the nearest city which is serviced by Uber, created a new account, Uber picked the location I had chosen and took me to the section where one can choose between a variety of cabs along with their fares. I didn't proceed any further. I had updated to MD based on Magisk v26.1 yesterday.

P.S. Google Maps still seemed to detect the correct location though.

Edit: I hadn't enabled spoofing for Google Maps in the module. After that it worked.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesmurat0001:
seems like you're using the Uber app for passenger, I wanna use the uber driver app on my rooted Oneplus 9 pro running Crdroid 9. Uber let you do everything on the app except going online, when I try going online it gives this error message "Go online from a different device. Unable to authenticate device".
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amn1987:
Can't help you with that. If Kernel SU is available for your device give that a try. It's currently the best solution to hide root. BTW does the normal Uber app also detect root or not? If you are using Magisk Hide you must disable Zygisk. Apps now a days are geared to find Zygisk and Shamiko fails to hide it in a few edge cases.

Edit: SafetyNet is passing, right?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesmurat0001:
the normal Uber app doesn't care if you rooted or not. I downloaded the latest magisk delta and i dont see any magisk hide option, in that section it says unmount modules, which version do i need to download.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amn1987:
Tap on the Gear icon at the top right corner to get into the Settings and you will find the option to enable MagiskHide as shown in the screenshot attached below.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesmurat0001:
only toggle magisk hide?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amn1987:
Followed by "Configure MagiskHide" just below where you add the apps from which root needs to be hidden. There you need to enable the option to show System apps for Play Store and Play Services to be displayed.

Hi, did this work for you guys? Uber is currently detecting root and not allowing me to go online, it tells me to use another device. Btw, where do I download Magisk Delta from? TY

[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] catgraft7:
Hello Guys.

Im using the G8s for some time now and i was always struggling when it came to gaming performance.

When I tried to play games like Genshin Impact, T3 Arena etc. i was having big issues. 30-40 fps in Genshin, 40-50 in T3 Arena. Not even on a constant level, overheating was an issue too.

This phone is definetly not the best anymore so i figured out the best solution would be a custom rom.

Done with this thread (https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-13-betalm-g8s-only-arrowos-13-0-wip.4484445/) i managed to get Android 13 and off of that ****ty stock LG rom.

Gaming was already bit better now, but i was missing that 60 fps experience. So I searched a bit and found out that the Snapdragon 855 with the Adreno 640 could easily be overclocked from 675mhz up to 840mhz (NOT RECOMMENDED).

I used these modules for magisk: (Thermal Unlocker 855: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=14943124697586368109) and (Magisk Bootloop Protector: https://download.magiskzip.com/download/magisk-bootloop-saver/#) and installed KonaBess for Overclocking: (KonaBess: https://github.com/libxzr/KonaBess/releases/tag/v0.21)

(1) Overlocking File 765Mhz: https://www.mediafire.com/download/66...

Important! Backup your Boot Image first! "Backup old image" in KonaBess and move it to a save space (for Example your SD Card).

Now choose "Import/Export" and then "Import from Clipboard".

Paste the text from file at (1) and finish the progress. Now it should reboot and in FrancoKernelManager you should now have a new highest frequence (765mhz).

But be careful! Device can Overheat easier now, for Gaming activate "Disable HW-Overlays" in Developer Settings.

When I started 3DMark on Stock Rom i got 3000 score, on custom rom with all Settings in FKM on performance i got arround 3400, but when I turned on the overclock it went up too 3679.

I can run my games perfect now with high graphics and still 60fps, like my S22 which is crazy if you think of the 3 year release gap.

Try this at your own risk!
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ZG_DEV:
Perfection 😀

You didn't mention that konabess is for some snapdragon CPUs !

Hey there,

just got my Nothing Phone 2 this week and I'm really happy with it.

But I have a strange issue or bug, I've never had before on a phone:

AOD is disabled, because I don't use it.

After some time, my lockscreen won't turn off after locking and AOD seems to be activated,

it shows the usual widgets (clock, weather) in low brightness black / white. The toggle in settings is still disabled.

After rebooting, the issue is gone, but is reactivated some time soon.

Haven't found another way, turning AOD on / off doesn't do a thing.

I'm on official 2.0.2 firmware.

[Google Pixel tablet] swieder711:
I just updated my Tablet to A14. Everything went fine.

I patched the init_boot file and flashed it. I have root, by Magisk 26.3 shows "N/A" under Installed. I cant hide Magisk or install any modules while in this state.

I am going to downgrade to the Sept release of A13 and see if Magisk works again. Downgrading to A13 failed. Android reported as corrupt.

Updated the SDK tools to R34 and reflashed A14. Which booted fine. Going to try rooting again with the updated SDK tools.

Tried Magisk-Canary, still Installed showing "N/A"

Looks like I would need to Flash-wipe to get back to A13 which I am hesitant to do.

Anyone have root working with Android 14?

EDIT: Did a Full Wipe, installed A14 and now Magisk is properly installed. When going from A13 to A14, it is probably best to do a full wipe anyway.
