On the flip side of the coin, Google opened up a form a few yeas ago that makes it easy to disable RCS completely on Google Messages for your number by deregistering your phone number.

Google Messages will deregister your number from RCS, disabling the Chat functionality on your phone, within a few days, if not immediately. Of course, you can still turn the functionality off within the Messages app.

Afterwhich, you can re-register the phone number with

RCS/Chat Features

on the default messages app. In some cases, it can take like 4 - 5 times before it can be successful.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Misterxtc:
Nice, I'll have to look into this. It seems to turn back on when the app updates.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] rodken:
Some Carriers play a crucial role in supporting RCS functionalities like chat features, file transfers, and read receipts. They manage RCS servers, routing, and integration with their networks.

Some carriers prioritize RCS development more than others, leading to potential differences in features and stability across different networks.

If a carrier's network infrastructure isn't optimized for RCS [which is sometimes hard to believe], it could lead to delays, dropped messages, or connection issues, affecting stability.

Each carrier might have slightly different implementations of RCS on their network, and inconsistencies could create compatibility issues or bugs on specific devices.

If a carrier doesn't or hasn't thoroughly test RCS functionality on all devices within their network after all of these years, some devices still might experience issues due to insufficient compatibility testing.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Spookymyo:
Thanks for all the replies. I'm hoping its a bug. I know it's not the P8P or my carrier. My wife has the exact same phone and we're both on the same AT&T plan and her RCS works properly. I like RCS chat so I hope the bug is fixed. Which thinking about it more makes sense that it's a bug because it works when I roll back to earlier versions.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] rodken:
If your spouse has the exact same device running off the same network, you might want to contact the carrier and have your device reprovisioned just in case your IMEI hasn't been mistakenly flagged for unauthorized use or someother nefarious reasoning.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] 123SIT:
Started experiencing this yesterday after the messages app update and received another update shortly after which I thought was an attempt to fix the RCS issue from Google. Thinking it was the update but kept digging as it was annoying, especially if you don't have to option turned on to resend as SMS, the messages app just eats your texts. Had a hunch that Google may be to blame, checked my pihole when opening the messages app and there were queries to attestation websites via googleapis.com. This led me to check and notice that I was no longer passing DEVICE integrity but only BASIC. Once I resolved that, RCS returned within a matter of seconds.

EDIT:

Added screenshot of messages calling out to verify integrity since there seems to be some skepticism on whether this situation is Google or a fluke...

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Indianb0y018:
If you are on a rooted phone, and your device is not passing device integrity, then spoofing device integrity to pass should fix the issue. I just tested this process on my device after trying to figure out my partners rcs issues (guacamole, pixelexperience and unrooted). Both of us are on tmobile and havent had issues at all, until 48 hours ago. For those on att, there are apparently issues, but those who have a custom rom, youll want to try and pass play integrity.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] parakleet:
T-mobile

Rooted

was on beta Messages

Left beta

RCS runs for maybe a minute then craps out
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Indianb0y018:
Can you install an integrity bypass module and report back? I got my test device to work after this. Im curious if this is an intentional security change google has made.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] parakleet:
You will have to forgive me I don't know what you are asking.

I am rooted and can pass integrity of that's what you are asking.

I have universal safety net fix installed

All my apps work without issue
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] shiftr182:
I just confirmed there is an issue with the latest Messages and RCS with unlocked bootloader. RCS works fine with Play Integrity Fix, but does not work without it. Tried on my P8P and my wife P7. Both are stock rooted with January update.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] AiM2LeaRn:
RCS stopped working on phones that fail play integrity. Google is now requiring that some google services and apps pass Google Play Integrity check. you can Make sure your phone passes the google play integrity check

MEETS DEVICE INTEGRITY

MEETS BASIC INTEGIRTY

you can check with Play Inegrtiy API checker from play store.

View attachment 6062954

you have two options for rooted phones, you can make it pass pass play integrity with correct OS fingerprints and with other PIF / Integrity mods or you can try to use a different messaging app that supports RCS.

i think its time the community stop relying so much on google services.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] rodken:
Interesting, as this could potentially impact other apps like Gmail, Maps, and YouTube on non-compliant devices.

In the meantime, I found no issues with RCS running a Custom ROM on a OnePlus device even though OnePlus devices have a broken TEE after unlocking the bootloader.

If Google is going down the road of requiring certain Google services and apps to pass the Play Integrity check, this will be a significant development with potential impacts on users and broader implications for the Android ecosystem.

As the situation unfolds, it's unclear if Google will offer alternative access methods or exceptions for specific situations and whether this is a gradual rollout or immediate enforcement across all devices remains unclear.

At some point in time, even though Google hasn't officially confirmed the exact list of apps subject to this requirement, a running list of apps affected will be revealed in due time.

With the recent announcement of Verizon has announcing that it will begin using Google's Jibe servers to deliver RCS messaging to its consumer and enterprise customers as of this writing, we shall see how Verizon's adoption of Google's Jibe servers marks in unifying carrier-based messaging services through RCS on rooted devices [might not make much of a difference with Play Integrity issues].

By the same token, all of this should be taken with a grain of salt.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] parakleet:
agreed it is still alittle early.

Still rooted but rolled back Android messenger

RCS now says I am connected after verifying my number, but practically speaking is not working in RCS fashion.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] DespairFactor:
you need to pass play integrity or it won;t work
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Indianb0y018:
Apologies.

Perhaps I'm referring to play integrity fix along with a respective script.

If I recall correctly, somebody on Reddit claimed that universal safety net fix was not enough to fix, the issue with RCS. Installing the play integrity fix module fixed the rcs issues.

However, I'm really hoping this is just a one off thing and not a permanent change.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] parakleet:
So I have been rooting for about 10 years and over time have not kept up to date on what is needed because it works enough for me.

I just learned about the Play Integrity stuff today.

Installed the Play integrity fix and now RCS works without issue.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Spookymyo:
Good catch. I don't use Google Pay so I never install the integrity fix. I installed it and now RCS chat works properly.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] rrusek:
PlayIntegrityFix_v15.5.zip fixes this in Jan A14 (UQ1A.240105.004).

RCS working correctly now.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Spookymyo:
so then not a bug looks like...🤗😉
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] AiM2LeaRn:
there is not bug, its just when google decides it wants to update and implement its integrity implementation. Usually they ban the popular fingerprints. you can find your own compatible fingerprint and use it with a little bit of time and effort.

How to search & find your own fingerprints [noob friendly]: A Comprehensive Guide w/ tips & Discussion for Complete Noobs (from one)

It seems Google has banned more than 95% of custom fingerprints, so this thread/guide has kind been laid to the wayside. But it's still a great resource to understanding the foundations of fingerprints and all that... This is for any/all utterly...

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] kkjb:
You must pass Basic, Device, Strong Integrity. Which means you either flash factory and lock bootloader. Or find one of many options to try to pass unlocked.

Good luck in your quest.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] rrusek:
Use magisks play integrity fix to pass:

Google Messages beta (20240313_03_RC00)

As of today, March 19, RCS is not working for me despite the conditions above.

Last week, March 13, after satisfying the conditions above, RCS worked for me.

Now, it stopped working again.

Between then and now, I didn't update "Messages" app. I turned off playstore auto-updates for apps I have installed, including Google Messages beta (20240313_03_RC00)

-edit-

How weird. Now it's working again. *scratches head*
[OnePlus 11] AutruiP:
Hi,

I've downloaded the latest OTA update for my OP11 (OxygenOS 14.0.0.401), and flashed it in Magisk, then rebooted. Since then, my phone was stuck in a bootloop.

I tried to change the slot using fastboot set_active other, and it finally worked.

Can someone explain how to correctly flash the OTA update and keep the root ? Thanks
[OnePlus 11] khusika:
Seems like you need to re-patch the boot.img and flash it after OTA updates to preserve roots
[OnePlus 11] S1yRuleZ:
The safe way for an OTA update:

- Download the firmware manually from OxygenUpdater

- Extract payload.bin from the firmware.zip, then unpack it with payload-dumper-go

- Transfer init_boot.img on your device and patch it using Magisk manager, then copy the patched .img on your PC for later

- Now do the usual manual firmware install from the official OP app, and wait for extraction

- Before clicking "Install", go to Magisk manager install, and select the OTA update option, do not reboot

- Return to the update screen and finally select "Install", the phone will reboot.

Remember that after an update, the boot animation will take longer than usual. Do not conclude it's a bootloop before at least 5 mins.

Now if you're lucky, the phone will just boot like usual with root still intact.

If not then do the following:

- adb reboot bootloader (or by holding PWR+VOLDN)

- fastboot flash init_boot init_boot_patched.img (example name)

- Boot

Done!

Note: Please if you don't understand exactly what you're doing, avoid following any of these steps, since flashing wrong data in the bootloader may brick your device and require MSM tool to restore it, losing all your data.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] MOULINIER:
Hi ! I have boot-loop problem on my note 9 pro, I would appreciate any help !

I installed TequillaOS a few month ago, from Pixel OS, without problems. I updated it once using the built in updater without any issues. But when I tried installing tequila-uno-20240108-0028 (using the same method), the recovery crashed during installation, booting me to the OS. When I tried booting to Orange fox, it was working without crashing but doing the pattern password to decrypt the storage was making it entering a boot-loop (even if it could still boot to the OS).

Today I made the dump decision to remove the password from my phone and entering the recovery, and now I can't even boot into the OS, the phone is stuck in a boot-loop (the recovery image appears for 5sec, then blinks black and appears for one sec before black for 10sec -> repeat )

I tried to flash Orangefox again (loosing my data is not very important), but when I connect my PC to my phone using fastboot, I can't see it in the terminal, I have attached a list of the driver I tried to install, maybe I'm missing one ?

I want to buy a new smartphone for the wife but not sure what to purchase. She's currently using a OnePlus 8t+5g and I'd like to get her a more modern smartphone. We usually get used phones, but looking on eBay, it seems the phones there that are more expensive than the 8t have poorer performance benchmarks and less memory and drive space. What's up with that?

Anyways, if you can recommend one, I'd appreciate it.

Good day to all,

I have a strange problem with my OP 11 5g; my phone doesn't ring or vibrate when I get a call. But he does when it is a WhatsApp call.

Google dialer

OOS 14 - CPH2449_14.0.0.401 (Just updated, but the problem was from before updating)

What I have tried so far :

- Uninstall all updates from the Google Phone app, clear cache - No luck - update to the last version again (No luck)

- Try to change many phone ring

- Rebooting, restarting.

- DND Off

- Slider is all the way down

- Uninstall CubeACR, which I use to record calls.

I screenshot all apps installed with the word phone; maybe I have one "too much"? (MyPhoneExplorer Client is for backup and restore apps and setting)

[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
@blueagent004

The possibility of reflashing a Soyes mini smartphone with stock Android to remove potential Chinese backdoors is significantly less likely than with Redmi phones.

Here's why:

Soyes is a very niche brand with limited market presence. This means there's a much smaller community of users and developers interested in customizing or modding their devices.

The lack of community interest translates to less availability of custom ROMs, tools, and instructions tailored for Soyes devices.

My car stereo is:

HMI: TSKJ.C.Q.F.2.09.2023.07.14.11.19

MCU: TS907.190518(H)

I was already reading several pages, I had a firmware with several errors. They sent me a newer one, it seems to work better, but the system slows down if I add the account in Google Play. Therefore everything is disabled.

I only have HUR and Waze.

The Waze version comes pre-installed in the firmware, it is slower than what I would like to use.

The problem: I get an error when trying to install waze (older version) with an apk. (version that I had installed with the previous firmware and it worked)

I guess the problem is that there is a version of waze installed as a system app, which won't let me uninstall, I even tried with ADB, and it only remained as "uninstalled for this user".

Is there a way to force the version I want to be installed?

Thanks!

If you have an APK of the version you want to use, you could try to rename the package with apktool and then installing it as a second copy of Waze.

I think you'll have better luck finding a different tool (or different version of APK tool) to rename the package than to uninstall the existing copy of waze.
