[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
Sorry, I assumed you were rooted. But if you need an unlocked bootloader to do that it probably won't work if you relock. I'm not positive about it since dual boot is something I've never done, but I don't think it would work. Hopefully someone else can chime in with something definitive. But I really don't think you could do that.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Ma3str0:
Not sure i follow but roms like iodeOS and Divest have verified boot
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
The only way you could do this would be if you signed the images in both slots using something like avbroot and installed the key.

Why do you want to lock the bootloader?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Ma3str0:
My threat model needs it.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
What do you mean?

Self signed locked bootloader won't pass. Only the OEM key will pass, and you can't lock on the OEM key unless you're on factory unmodified firmware.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Ma3str0:
yea dunno

[Miscellaneous Android Development] HippoMan:
NOTE: this is for people who already have downloaded one or more fingerprints, and who know how to create directories, edit files, and run scripts on their Android device.

I've written a script which installs a randomly selected JSON fingerprint file from a directory on your device.

Assuming that you name the script "install-random-fp.sh" and install it in your /sdcard/ directory, you can run it like this:

/system/bin/sh /sdcard/install-random-fp.sh

Or if you want to run it from your PC with a USB connection to your device, you can run it like this:

adb shell /system/bin/sh /sdcard/install-random-fp.sh

If you're running osm0sis' PlayIntegrity script, set the following variable in the script as follows:

use_custom=true

Otherwise, set the following variable in the script as follows:

use_custom=

Also, set the fp_dir variable in the script to point to a directory on your device which contains the set of JSON fingerprint files. They all must be named with a .json suffix. For example, if the directory containing these JSON fingerprints is /sdcard/fingerprints, the setting in the script should be the following:

fp_dir=/sdcard/fingerprints

In a little while, I'll post a message in this thread which contains a Tasker profile and task to cause this script to automatically run whenever your device reboots.

Here is the script:

Spoiler content hidden.

UPDATE: the /system/bin/su -c in the original version of these instructions is not needed, because the script itself calls /system/bin/su -c when this is required. I removed the /system/bin/su -c stuff from my instructions above.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Fixed a typo (missing forward slash) in the "adb shell" instructions.

ONE MORE UPDATE: Removed an unneeded "echo" statement from the script. It was only there to help when developing and debugging, and it's not needed for the final version. If you decide to use Tasker to capture the script output, this unneeded "echo" might cause confusion.

AND YET ANOTHER: Quoted the value being set to the fp_file variable, in case the selected source file name contains spaces.

AND MORE: I forgot to define true=/system/bin/true and killall=/system/bin/killall. Fixed now.

I've also attached the script code here, because of some reported difficulties in copying and pasting it from this message. XDA will not accept attachments with a ".sh" suffix, so it's named install-random-fp.sh.txt here. Just remove the ".txt" suffix before running.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] HippoMan:
NOTE: this message and the following message will not be useful nor meaningful unless you're familiar with the "Tasker" utility.

In case you want Tasker to automatically run this every time the device reboots, you can install this profile and task ...

Spoiler content hidden.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] HippoMan:
And here's the description of the Tasker profile and task ...

Spoiler content hidden.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lord Sithek:
Great job Hippo, I'll definitely give it to you shot! 👏
[Miscellaneous Android Development] HippoMan:
I fixed some issues in the shell script. Newest, fixed code is in the OP.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lord Sithek:
hey, can you share your script as a file? Somehow I can't get it work by copying...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] HippoMan:
The script code is now attached to the OP as a *.sh.txt file (because XDA will not accept *.sh uploads). Just remove the ".txt" suffix after downloading.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lord Sithek:
Thanks!

[OnePlus 11] BesoC:
I'd like to install latest Android 14 on my magisk rooted CPH2451 (NA) A10. AFAIK direct OTA can brick my phone, as it's rooted. How can I safely install android 14?

Thanks in advance
[OnePlus 11] squirrellpunchgames:
Yea that's what my system says it is.
[OnePlus 11] MrSteelX:
In magisk, restore image and install update. Then magisk ota update and done.

i wish oneplus posted them to their site like they used to...
[OnePlus 11] MrSteelX:
There is no full rom 2451 na for Android 14 yet.
[OnePlus 11] SourPower:
I see, thank you for the confirmation. Any way to know when it may be available or why OnePlus doesn't make it readily available on release anymore?

They used to offer* downloads right off their site :(
[OnePlus 11] MrSteelX:
When will it be released. Your guest is as good as mine but probably never since all na version goes through google servers now, but this is the first time i have never seen a full rom with new android release.
[OnePlus 11] shootind5nukes:
There is a full beta they released. 14.0.0.114 was beta 4 and was released in a full ota. 14.0.0.114 init_boot works for 14.0.0.201
[OnePlus 11] greeneyez15o:
It does ?
[OnePlus 11] shootind5nukes:
Yep. That's how I rooted. I only flashed to the active slot. After boot I had root then I used my method for pulling both init boot from my phone with dd. I seen which one was patched by magisk, and therefore from 114. I took the other, which was stock 201 and patched with magisk. I the flashed the stock(201) one I patched with magisk. Just in case 114 was going to cause me any issues.

I asked because I am not an expert like you guys. So can you tell me if this is safe before I potentially lose all my data? Android 14 is looking tasty right now

It's fine. No data loss
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] AltitudeDashboard2:
I have a Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra. I am asking in this forum because there is not much activity in the device dedicated forum. I really want to use this device as a laptop. With Termux I have been able to create virtual machines with qemu, but they can be faster. I am running only Linux arm64 VMs.

I am not familiar with rooting and flashing devices but I have good experience with Linux.

My problem is how to root this device and install a custom ROM? I want to enable KVM support in the Android kernel such that qemu VMs are accelerated.

Also can someone please clarify for me what are these AOSP? There is an AOSP released by Samsung. There is also an AOSP released by Google with Android 14 which includes support for virtualization. The last one is exactly what I want. Can I use one of these? How can I flash these?

I don't care about warranty, I just want to get the most out of this device. The problem is I don't know where to start. I'm new to Android.

To complicate things, I have access to a Mac, not Windows, so I cannot use Odin.

Where to start? Please help!

Thank You!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] xXx yYy:
Odin for Mac exists:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] Raphael Valyi:
did you succeed? As a developer I plan to buy this tablet with exactly the same goal but I would feel safer if someone did it before... As far as I understand, you should root the device (as some described in other threads) and then recompile the kernel with the proper virtualization features, that is do something like https://ivonblog.com/en-us/posts/sony-xperia-5-ii-docker-kernel/ cause I think the requirements are similar for Docker and kvm. Would be glad if you post some update...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] AltitudeDashboard2:
No, I have not. Sorry. I hope someone will do it and reply here.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] thiefxhunter:
To Root, i followed this same process described here: https://xdaforums.com/t/root-guide-for-galaxy-tab-s8-s8-s8ultra.4423095/

We don`t have any custom recoveries for now, so, i`m unable to install any GSI at the time to test.

Wish you guys best Of luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] AltitudeDashboard2:
Today I had more free time and I was able to root my Tab S9 Ultra. Finally I am able to fully control this device which is almost a laptop.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] AltitudeDashboard2:
btw, this is the check_config output
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] bero101:
Hey, congratulations. Just wondering how you ended up rooting you're Tab s 9 Ultra, I have the same device and want to full take advantage of it. Also, what are the main benefits you got from rooting and what root-only apps have you been using?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] AltitudeDashboard2:
If you have to ask you probably have no benefits in rooting. Myself, I would create my custom Android if I could. I am thinking of the Tab S9 Ultra as a laptop with am arm64 processor. I am using mostly Termux, I don't care about Android apps like Netflix (even though it also works).

If you want to root just follow the same process described in the Tab S8 forum. It works for S9 as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] bero101:
That's interesting. I want to root personally because I want to get the most performance out of my emulators. While using yuzu my cpu gets capped at 70% usage but usually hangs around 50%. So I want to change the cpu governor and maybe add a custom kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] AltitudeDashboard2:
Yes, that's my interest as well. I am using qemu for running Linux arm64 VMs and they run, I even run an Oracle database in a VM, but it is not very fast because there is no KVM built into the default kernel. Building a custom kernel is not easy.

Now I am looking at Gunyah (the hypervisor built by Qualcomm and available in the Tab S9 by default) and crosvm as a replacement for qemu.

Still doing research on this.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] thenav33n:
I am planning to buy this device, I intend to do the same. Will watch this post for your updates.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] RagManX:
I personally followed the Tab S8 rooting guide in this thread, just using SM-X810 instead of the SM-X700 listed in the links for firmware download. Make a backup to the cloud or an add-on SD card of all your installed apps to make it easier to reinstall them after rooting, as the process involves a device wipe. As for the uses, I just like having full access to my device. So far, there is nothing I *need* to be rooted for, but I like having the control option to access any files on my device should the need ever arise.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] hasenbein1966:
I use several things on my Tab S9 which require root:

- Adaway (system wide ad blocking via hosts file replacement)

- GMD Gesture control (best gesture control EVER, unfortunately not updated for years now, works on Android 13 only with hacky workaround)

- Youtube Revanced Magisk Module (replaces YouTube app with an ad-free version which has several other advantages and high customizability)

- CX File explorer has access to full file system with root

- with Titanium Backup I can deactivate or uninstall all unwanted crap

- via Magisk module "zygisk-detach" I can prevent certain apps from being updated via Play Store (for example Google Maps which uses a moronic layout in newer versions)

I would never want an unrooted Android device!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series] sosimple:
I have root my s8 ultra, and ,honestly, i earned e very little things.. Samsung tablets doesn't have support any more. Also most things you can do with adb (Without pc through LADB and wifi connection) + shizuku + apps supporting shizuku + tasker so rooting is helpful probably if you want to install Linux..

I have my fold 5 unrooted (but with adb ,shizuku etc), and ,honestly, i don't miss anything..

98% doesn't need root. The other 2% very hardcore users ,ok.

Since I have had my 8 pro the screen can become completely unresponsive and I have to force restart by holding down the power button and volume up and down.

[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] TheMadKing:
I recently got a second-hand HTC U12+, and it's general performance while using it is surprisingly good for such an old phone. The one notable hiccup is in the Sense Home app, every once in a while, when swiping up on pressing on the button to go to the apps, the animation seems to skip a beat.

So I wanted to ask any other people who are potentially still using the phone - is that a common occurrence/known bug? Or could it be just the degrading performance of an older phone?

Thank you very much for any help!

Cooperate or Defect?

This is an experiment to test if cooperation truly works (I personally believe that it does, but let's put it to test)

What does this have anything to do with PIF?

Well, I'm glad that you asked.

In the spirits of holiday season , looking at this high traffic PIF thread you'd notice that there are a lot of requests to share private working print through DM.

I have a different proposal, let's see if this works better.

But first, go watch this excellent video by Veritasium (great channel by the way)

You're back from watching it?

Here's the game.

If you're struggling to get a working print and exhausted all avenues and you're still unable to find one, I promise I will solve your problem.

However I will not provide you a working print, what I promise to do is spend as much time as it takes to get you through the journey of pif minting and get you to find your own working print.

However there is one catch, I'm only offering my help to one person, whoever I deem deserving.

The exchange will be by DM, but the person's handle will be published.

What I expect in exchange, is a commitment that you will offer the same gesture to another XDA member, and teach (not provide a print) forward.

Whoever you decide to assist his or her handle will be published in the OP just like yours, and the process will be repeated until one person decides to defect and not play by the rules.

Hopefully we don't get to that point, but if we do, we'll collectively decide how to deal with the situation.

Only committed members should submit their request.

[Magisk] HippoMan:
I really like this PIF'ers Dilemma approach! I'm very interested to find out how many people go for it.

It might also be useful to add one more stipulation: that when a person finds a worthy FP recipient, that some sort of publicly viewable count somewhere gets updated, so we can get a sense of how many people are actually doing this. Best if the publicly viewable count feedback is somehow kept anonymous: just a number and nothing else.
[Magisk] xSnowLeopardx:
Good luck with this. I like this idea (and the channel Veritasium).

Fantastic idea , I've helped a few people already and will gladly help again. But this thread is what xda was founded on and what xda used to be and should be now. Unfortunately it's become a place to get stuff for free recently rather than a place to learn,teach and help.

I'm trying to track down the ones who have said that they've mined like 100 fingerprints with no luck...but I'm fairly certain those were on TG....or members that have found after a while...
[Magisk] badabing2003:
Why do we need to track down people who have mined 100+ fps?

They're set as far as this thread is concerned.
[Magisk] simplepinoi177:
I mean they mined 100+ fps with no success....proves that they're dedicated enough to keep trying, but may be missing some basics or need a bit of tweaks to get any number of the 100 or so fps to work....i saw the word "commitment" in the OP, but now I see that that was towards a different context...
[Magisk] badabing2003:
Ok i misunderstood you, I thought they successfully mined 100+ prints

Of course, those are the best candidates, it shows willingness to try and they put the effort, I'd be happy to help out if anyone is still in that camp.
[Magisk] trevtdogg:
this is a cool idea.

personally I think it might even be better and simpler if any people who wish to learn make a reply asking for a mentor. then, any of the users who have found their own prints and feels they understand it enough can PM saying they will help. once the user has a mentor, they edit the post to say they have a mentor now, and then the teaching is done via PM.

that way there isn't a backlog or line, and good mentors can teach multiple people. but it's easy for people to ask for help, and easy to see who still needs help.
[Magisk] dosbuddy:

I might actually ask for this help, but so far believe have not tried that much - just spent 6-7 hrs in last 10 days or so to download ROMs, extract etc and struggling.

Also am travelling now and once back, on 1st Jan, will try finding FP again. If no success, will put my name in the q.
