[DEV] APatch - an alternative root solution to KernelSU and Magisk

The patching of Android kernel and Android system. A new Kernel-based root solution for Android devices. APM: Magisk module like support KPM: Kernel Patch Module support. (Allow you to inject any code into the kernel, Kernel function...

xdaforums.com

it seems more flexible than kernelsu,

I haven't tried it yet,

magisk works well so far but seems like soon we need to switch for better option.

would be nice to hear your experience with it.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Nick_101d:
I would just like to give a solution to my question. For anyone looking to root via KernelSU, download android14-5.15.131_2023-11-boot from kernelSU github assets, The version 14-5.15.131 is derived from the kernel level you have on your ROM. So just match that (The same is said in the KernelSU guide) and flash that img file in fastboot. When you boot back to ROM, it will say that KernelSU is working and you will have root access.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Nick_101d:
I need something that does not break my wallet and baking apps, Do you happen to know if it is known to do so? Thanks for your prompt reply bud!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] x111:
I have seen some ppl here reported that they managed to bypass restrictions of wallet, baking apps, and other trash apps with APatch.

I just do not use any of it.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Nick_101d:
Thanks, mate while we are at it - Do you know how can I get LSPosed working on my phone? I am using KernelSU at the moment and I have installed the 2 modules on KernelSU-

Zygisk on KernelSU and

LSPosed

it says it's working but I cannot open LSPosed Manager, I think it keeps crashing cause it talks about sending bug report when I try to tap "LSPosed has been loaded" notification after booting to ROM. I tried installing Different versions from LSPosed github and even Zygisk Next but I have had no luck so far. I even tried installing Magisk for LSPosed but that did not work either, Also magisk broke all Banking and wallet apps for me (On EVOX latest).

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
If you use the more current version of PF, @badabing2003 added the option to use Magisk, KernelSU, et al to root during the flashing process, whereas in the past, only Magisk was available
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Nick_101d:
is it okay to flash magisk using pixel flasher AFTER the ROM has been installed and used for a few days then?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
Yeah. I forgot to install it once and after flashing I had to go back into PF just to install Magisk
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] rester555:
I ended up using pixel flasher to install apatch. It works really well, but Kernelsu holds root better than apatch since you're using the full source kernel.

After saying that, I love apatch and it's relatively simple. I installed apatch by modifying the boot image inside the manager or using pixel flasher and then flashing it, in the process you set a super key which is like setting a password for root, then installed Play integrity fix from chiteroman 15.9.9, after that I installed zygisk next, from there I installed LSposed.

Doing all this, I was able to hide root from Citibank which has been a problem for me, Play store shows device integrity and I have wallet working.

LSposed is for making visual mods and disabling secure flag for screenshots.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] DespairFactor:
what do you mean the full source kernel? kernelsu(LKM) and magisk root the device through the first stage ramdisk. The KernelSU original release uses drivers built into the kernel image itself.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] rester555:
I was reading straight from the source. Thanks for correcting me.

Unless I read incorrectly, I was reading Apatch and kernelsu wiki from their own websites. That's what I interpreted.

EDIT: I interpreted it incorrectly @DespairFactor. Thanks for the help.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] babaric-dev:
I'm looking for information on using the hidden DSU (Dynamic System Update) Loader by launching the com.android.settings.development.DSULoader activity with Activity Launcher. I've read that this method can potentially brick phones with locked bootloaders, in which I have one.

I've done some research on the DSU loader and understand its purpose, but I'm unsure about its safety and potential risks. I'd appreciate any insights or experiences from users who have tried this method.

Is it safe to use the DSU Loader with Activity Launcher on a device with a locked bootloader? Are there any known risks or potential for bricking the device?

Thank you for your time and assistance.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AntarcticShaurant:
What do you mean by "hidden" and "launching with Activity Launcher"?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] babaric-dev:
It's not accessible in the settings app. Instead, you need Activity Launcher to start the activity, hence I consider it "hidden".
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AntarcticShaurant:
Ah got it, by the way I just noticed you said you have a locked bootloader.

you need an unlocked bootloader to use dsu
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] babaric-dev:
The DSU image is signed with an authorized key? (idk what I'm talking, enlighten me)

I'm using the default images.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] binary**#:
True to my knowledge, launching the com.android.settings.development.DSULoader activity requires root. So you might have to unlock the bootloader anyhow.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] babaric-dev:
My BL is locked, I'm not rooted, but I can somehow launch the activity???
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] binary**#:
I had tried it once on a non-rooted device but was greeted with an error something along the lines of a "Security Exception Permission Denial". I was only able to launch the activity via root and then download the GSI ARM64/GSI+GSM ARM64 package.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] babaric-dev:
Should I try it? How likely will I brick my phone? Or what can possibly happen? Obviously, I will bear the consequences myself.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] binary**#:
Since you need to root the device to launch the activity, then just be aware of the consequences, such as Knox getting tripped which is an irreversible process even if you relock the bootloader.

But when it comes to testing GSI via DSU Loader, there's no issue as such. If the device is unable to boot to the GSI, then it will undergo a second reboot, and your device will auto-boot to the OneUI stock firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] binary**#:
Regarding this, you can only test the AOSP GSIs provided by Google. These are extremely barebone with just the basic features]. If you are looking to test out a custom GSI, then you could try out the DSU Sideloader app.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AntarcticShaurant:
Exactly

Actually i thought there would be no problems until i saw this: https://xdaforums.com/t/i-desperately-need-help.4674066/
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] binary**#:
To avoid these issues is the sole reason why I always keep the bootloader unlocked beforehand [though have to face the drawbacks of an unlocked bootloader but nothing much can be done in that regard].
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] babaric-dev:
So it's probably not a wise idea to try it
[Blade General] Javialon_qv:
Ok, this guide asuumes you already have an unlocked bootloader., For that, you can check out this tool from the user TomKing062.

On that page there's a guide about how to root Android 10+. However, at least for me, it doesn't work, so here are the instructions I followed to root the device:

1.- Getting the STOCK boot.img file info.

- Download SPD Upgrade Tool and your stock firmware (.pac file).

- Download the avbtool file.

- Make sure you have Python 2 installed on your computer.

- Open the .pac file with the SPD Upgrade Tool and, without closing the program, go to the path of the app and it will be a folder called ImageFiles, extract the boot.img file.

- Using avbtool, execute the following command on your PC:

python avbtool info_image --image <path_to_your_stock_boot.img>

- You will have an output with info about the file, save the following information (you will need it):

Rollback Index Prop: com.android.build.boot.fingerprint and Prop: com.android.build.boot.os_version.

2.- Patching the boot.img with Magisk

- Install the Magisk app in your phone.

- Transfer your stock boot.img to your phone.

- Patch it using the Magisk app.

- Transfer the output patched boot to your computer again.

3.- Signing the patched boot image with avbtool

- The ZTE Blade A51 runs Android 11, so, execute the following command:

python2 avbtool add_hash_footer --image AIK/image-new.img --partition_name boot --partition_size 67108864 --key rsa4096_boot.pem --algorithm SHA256_RSA4096 --prop com.android.build.boot.fingerprint:$FINGERPRINT --prop com.android.build.boot.os_version:$OS_VERSION --rollback_index <index> --salt 7A91E47F8D2CFB95DCCFF13305EE3F07EDCF83A42660A811F3724E1E8B463284

replacing --rollback_index <index> with your info, same with the $FINGERPRINT and $OS_VERSION.

4.- Flashing the signed and patched boot.img

- Enter your device into fastboot.

- Flash the patched-boot-signed.img with

fastboot flash boot_a <path_to_your_patched_boot>

- WITHOUT RESTARTING THE DEVICE, enter into recovery and wipe user data, otherwise it will enter in a bootloop.

- Restart.

5.- ENJOY.

Hey all, I'm trying to figure out what all can be done without root, since I'm walking away from that for now. I do not know of much personally, so hopefully some of you fine folks can help!

Here's pretty much all I have (don't laugh):

DarQ for per app dark mode (uses shizuku for rootless)

I thought repainter worked for some devices w/o root, but it's not working at all on A15 beta.

I'd LOVE to be able to hide the navbar/pill, and maybe change the material Google colors.

So, let's hear them! I'll change this OP to reflect any new additions. TIA!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] chill145:
Unfortunately you can't hide the navbar/pill without root. You can on other phones without root but not here.

That's one of the only reasons I still root.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Justadudeinspace:
Oh, I almost forgot.

There's also a few Shizuku Required Pixel Only Apps. As well as a few Pixel App Upgrades.

Pixel Clock (Paid App) - Let's you build custom Pixel Clocks through animated widgets. ($2.49)

Pixel IMS - Configures the Volte.

Pixel LCS - Control lights via Bluetooth on your phone.

Pixel Tuner - Quickly access the secret menu that contains experimental features!

Pixels - Resolution and DPI changer.

Gemini - also deserves a mention because Gemini is a major upgrade and replacement for Google Assistant (Gemini even answers questions about rooting with answers that include adb and fastboot commands--I found that interesting).

Sentry - Is a Non-Root security upgrade app that will shut down the phone after so many "selected" number of failed password/pin attempts.

Textra - A free sms app replacement upgrade (I personally use it, though I personally use 80% of everything I have listed here).

LADB - (Paid App, but worth it) Let's you access the adb shell from within the Android device much like ashell (but doesn't require Shizuku), it requires wifi as it needs wireless debugging to work. ($2.99)

OwnDroid - Gain Device Admin and Device Owner privileges (Can be found on Droidify).

AdAway - A FOSS ad blocking firewall.

(If I find anything else that I consider to be an upgrade or mod I will report back)
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Ćwirek:
This is... impressive
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] connormcmanus:
Seeing as you like to customize, you should take a look at Total Launcher, and the rest of the apps by the developer ChYK the dev.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] gettinwicked:
@Justadudeinspace damn, that's an impressive list! I'm not sure where to start. Thanks! I'm going to take a closer look at some of these.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Justadudeinspace:
I'll definitely check these out. Thanks for the assist.

EDIT: I wasn't a big fan of Total Launcher but I really liked the contacts and app drawer features. I also really liked the Contacts app with being able to organize contacts by category, and I love the Folder in Folder app. Being able to create folders in folders is definitely an A++ app.

@Justadudeinspace ,

How do I use lspatch? Also, what modules work? I found an XDA thread in it, but according to the folks posting, they couldn't find much that worked.

Also, color blendr isn't changing the colors. I'm wondering if it's because I'm on A15 beta? I had it but never tried it when I was rooted on A14 or A15.

Repainter is crashing on A15 beta. I'll have to hit up the dev in case he/she doesn't know. This was my go to for changing the dumb quick tiles colors google let's us have..
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Justadudeinspace:
Color Blendr & Repainter both worked for me on A14.. Where did you get A15 Beta? (Maybe report the A15 crashes to the Devs with Logs to help aid in future releases???)

Ya know, I only tried using disable_flagsecure. I didn't have a lot of luck with LSPatch either. Essentially though, install the modules, then activate it with Shizuku active in LSPatch. That's what I figured out anyway (could probably spend an entire day just testing modules with LSPatch). I have a bunch of Xposed Module .apk's if you need them?

EDIT: From what I gathered LSPatch operates like LSPosed without root. So activate Shizuku, then activate LSPatch in Shizuku approved apps, and then open LSPatch to activate modules.

[Samsung Galaxy S23] h60ec45:
I have an S23 (S911U) that I've had for less than a month. I have gotten 3 software updates sent to the phone in the last 2 days. I think one was an update to One UI 6.0 since everything looked a bit different. After searching, it looked like I should be able to update to One UI 6.1. I pressed the "check for update" button on the phone and it said there was a new update, but it was still One UI 6.0. So I checked again. It said there was an update and same thing. After searching again, I saw that I could connect to SmartSwitch and update that way if the updates over WiFi weren't working. I hooked up to SmartSwitch and it said an update was available, so I started the update. It took forever, and eventually hung on 0% complete for over an hour, so I pressed the "cancel" button on the phone. Then my phone displayed a blue screen that said "An error has occurred while updating the device software". I tried the emergency recovery on SmartSwitch and it continued to hang at 0%.

So I googled, and I found ODIN. I downloaded ODIN, I downloaded the firmware for my version, and I got everything set up. I loaded all of the filed into ODIN and hit start. But it keeps stalling out at NON_HLOS.bin (see picture).

What are my options here? I'm just trying to get my phone working again. I was hoping to keep user data, but at this point, I just want it to work. Any suggestions?

TL;DR: Software update failed on Smart Switch. Tried to update with ODIN, but it's hanging at NON_HLOS.bin. How do I get my phone working again?View attachment 6107379
[Samsung Galaxy S23] h60ec45:
Figured this out myself. Didn't see an easy way to delete this post. But if anyone is wondering, I did 2 things. Not sure which one helped. I restarted my phone into downloading mode and instead of pressing the volume button to go into downloading mode (where it would just go back to the error), I pressed the side key to "restart", but it went onto the downloading screen.

The other thing I did, which I think was the real fix, was to switch to using a USB-A to USB-C cable instead of a USB-C to USB-C cable. Not sure why but after some digging I saw another person that had an issue with a USB-C to USB-C cable.

When I take a photo in the photo application and I want to view the photo, how do I set it so that when I tap on the created photo, my own photo gallery opens and not Google gallery?

The same for the video, so that when I click on the created video, my own video player will open.

Yo! I flashed this ROM and it is much better than pixel experience I had before. But what bothers me is that I am not able to root. Is there some way to root with this ROM? Thanks in advance for soon reply
