[Google Pixel 8 Pro] x111:
so what did you get ?

all details.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] sic0048:
There are potentially two issues why apps won't work when rooted.

First, you might need to hide the fact that the phone is rooted from particular apps. How you accomplish this depends on your root method. If you use Magisk, it is as simple as using the "deny list" (which denys root to the selected app) in the Magisk interface.

Second, you need to fix the "play integrity" issue that causes unlocked and rooted devices from passing the "basic integrity" checks that Google has. Again, if you are using Magisk, you need to install the Play Integrity Fix by Chiteronman to accomplish this.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] WhiteReign:
I still don't get it. Guess this was not meant to be. I cant figure it out.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] cmh714:
I would say get used to it.....not everything can be hidden from seeing root. I am in Thailand now and quite a few of the apps I need here still see that I am rooted, no matter what I have tried.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] x111:
yes, for those trash apps I use dammy second phone,

and the best way to get rid of trash apps and never again use it,

and do not forget to leave very negative review for those apps !
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] cmh714:
Yep, thinking of getting a cheap ass phone here as well! No sense in trashing the apps IMHO.....The Rabbit card system is what is used for the BTS Trains, doesnt work. Also using an AIS sim and their app doesnt work. Pretty sure they dont care and technically they are "protecting" us.......from ourselves! ;^)
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] jawz101:
What are you all using root for? The only reason I can think of using it any more is to disable services & broadcast receivers but that's it.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] WhiteReign:
I am trying to block one stupid app Uber Driver

This is what my phone is telling me. I just need to block Uber Driver is all
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] sic0048:
Biggest thing is Advanced Charging Controller. This (along with some tasker profiles) allows me to reliably keep my phone from charging higher than 75% and also makes battery idle mode work reliably (meaning my phone doesn't automatically charge when plugged in until it gets below 35%). This is extending my battery capacity/life expectancy a great deal. I never have more than 1.5 charging cycles in a week and often have less than 1 total charging cycle in a week.

Additionally, I use root for AdAway, Revanced Youtube, Revanced YouTube Music and Viper4Android. I also have various GUI mods, that make using the phone a little nicer than stock.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] BillGoss:
To:

- fully backup my apps and their data using Swift Backup

- pass device integrity using PIFork so that Wallet and RCS works

- removing and installing stock apps I don't want or use

- avoids needing a PC in some cases

- changing the charge-stop-limit so that the phone stops charging at a battery level less than 100
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] sic0048:
It's kinda of counter productive to list PIF as a "reason to use root" when the only reason you need to use PIF is because you rooted in the first place. 😂

If you don't root, Wallet and RCS will work very reliably without PIF......

You are so right! I think my brain was out on a walk when I wrote that.

As you know guys Android 14 on Rog 6 is Just Cancer! (Broke Air triggers, Overheating issues and battery Drains Faster) This method helps you out for downgrading to Lower Versions!

Downgrade from Android 14 to Anroid 13 or Android 12...

*Your Data Will be LOST*

*This Method Doesn't require an UNLOCKED Bootloader*

HOW TO FLASH!

How to flash:

* Plug the USB Type-C cable into the side port

* Reboot into bootloader

* Extract RAW firmware zip and run flash_raw_and_wipe_data.cmd

* Reboot to recovery and do a Factory data reset REQUIRED TO AVOID Bootloops...

Finally, Congrats!

@soranerr0r :)
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Murilo Tanaka:
Have you already tested this way? did it work in which version?

I'm currently using Android 14

View attachment 6114138
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] sorankira:
Already tested bro I'm on A12 right now 😅
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Spectre__R:
That's awesome, do you have the Link to A12 firmware?

Was considering downgrading to A12, from current A14.

I hope someone finds a way to Unlock the Bootloader on A12 now that there is a way to downgrade to it.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] ngx091:
It isn't proper downgrade, since bootloader is untouched. Update log shows:

FAILED (remote: 'Direct flashing abl is not allowed.') or if you used fastboot oem enable-flash command:

FAILED (remote: 'ARB check fail.')

However, it's still better than nothing.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Spectre__R:
Hmm

Hmmm that's interesting...

Did you downgrade to A12 and try to unlock BL using the MTM proxy way?
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] ngx091:
MTM method didn't last long, since Asus took their server down, as soon as they found out about this.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] mvikrant97:
Do you mean the ASUS unlock tool?

But it doesn't connects to Asus servers with MITM method. I think it's still possible to unlock bootloader by flashing older abl (A12) onto phone.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Spectre__R:
Yes this is exactly what I was also thinking... But not sure if it would work.

Waiting for OP to post A12 Raw and I'll try it myself on my device.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] ngx091:
It does.

Flashing older abl doesn't work. I have spare rog phone, which I accidentally fu**ed up by flashing wrong backup(A13 .177 from my brother's phone) As next I flashed proper backup(A12 .220) through edl, but after that phone didn't react at all. Shorting test points was only option. Before wrong backup I was able to enter dload through vol up+down. Then I've read here, that Asus locked flashing abl above A13 .159 to stop people from downgrading, so I tried again with A13 .177 abl, and it did bring back phone to life again.

However I believe it is possible to unlock bootloader by flashing certain partitions from already unlocked phone, but it's hard to find out, since nobody responded to my thread.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Spectre__R:
Curious how the OP managed to Downgrade successful from A14 to A12 when the block was done on A13 .159.

Unless the Raw firmware bypass the restriction it wouldn't have been possible but he/she managed to do it
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] ngx091:
I just wrote it in my first reply. Flashing raw proceeds with everything except abl.

I have currently engineering rom on my rog, but bootloader flashing is disabled.

Here's my fastboot output

Spoiler content hidden.

So you can flash any raw version, but ABL stays the same.

If you need any particular version of raw, I can upload one.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Spectre__R:
Thank you for the Log.

Apologies I did not understand what you meant initially.

I'm hoping someone finds a Exploit on A12 or A13 that can be used to Downgrade the ABL to cater for unlocking.

Right now I want to Move to A12 for stability as A14 is problematic for me.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] ngx091:
AI2201 Raw you can find there A12 .63 .197 .220 .241 and A13 .81 .104

Well I'm hoping to find someone with already unlocked bootloader, since my rog is more for experimental purposes.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] mvikrant97:
What partitions did you backup and flashed?
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] ngx091:
All partitions. I prefer edl/bkerler rather than qfil, because it's faster.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] afif7070:
Hi.i try to this method but when i reboot into bootloader my bootloader only have option for fastboot/reboot/boot to recovery.

im newbies to this flashing rom thing.hope can guide me

sorry newbies here
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Murilo Tanaka:
So does downgrading really work this way?

I'm afraid of brick my device, as it has already happened when updating via OTA.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] ngx091:
Well. It does. Due to camera issues i downgraded to A12 2205.63 and then to eng rom, and everything(except camera) works fine.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Murilo Tanaka:
Did you downgrade the way it is in the post?
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] ngx091:
Yes

that i had to install the game from play store first and than uninstall it to get the license.

Because there are several alternatives to the Google Play Store for Android devices, search for the app on these, e.g. APKMirror, APKPure, Aptoide, Softonic, etc.pp.

It is a really great skin. I hope you release another one soon and that also has background on the inner-menus... Good luck!
[XPERIA X1 General] Cheekbone:
Yep, just go into the options menu shown in the video and add the programs you like..

The inner menus do have the background in portrait mode. It's based on the original skin. That one doesn't have the background in landscape mode in the inner menus either. Not sure if it's an SPB problem. But the landscape mode isn't totally 100% yet..

it is a spb problem. they missed it in the original files but you can fix this very easy:

I have an Samsung Galaxy Tab S9FE ( SM- X516B) 5G.

My problem is that I can't get any acess to Android Recovery mode( hard reset).

However I struggled to find this option,since on my device it's a complete different process than on a normal Samsung Device.

Now matter, I could perform an hard reset,but I made an misstake once. In wich I forgot to ( Log out/ remove my account).

Ever since I can't boot into Android recovery mode.

Since there is a huge difference between an soft reset( via menu Factory reset directly in the device menu).

So as I myself assumes that I have messed up( or have an corrupted registry).

Since I also know that my device had caught some malwares- due to incompatibel Antivirus.

But since I still have the original UI ( that was pre- loaded from factory).

So how can I repair this issue?

[General Questions and Answers] popolou:
Please bear with me, catching up on a decade plus of AOSP development since my Xperia x10 days now that i have a real issue on my hands.

Handset is an Xperia XZ1 Compact that found itself boot looping which is perfect of course because my backups are 5 years out of date. I have tried reflashing the system partition but that is getting me nowhere because i believe the fault is either a corrupted file within the userdata partition or the partition itself is fubar and i need to e2fsck it or similar. Been posting on the dedicated forum but it's gone a little quiet in there of late.

I'm at the point where i need to consider alternatives and the question i have is whether unlocking the BL will cause an immediate wipe.

I suspect installing a recovery partition (which it does not have) would set me in the right direction to adb pull my files but i am wondering if there is a workaround to unlock it and install twrp at the same time to prevent the wipe. Not sure if i need to worry about the DRM keys at this stage but i'm near despair at the moment.

[General Questions and Answers] popolou:
Oh i do quite believe that it is part of the process - I have come across discussions affecting a multitude of handsets saying many different things you see.

That's precisely why i am investigating if there are known workarounds.
[General Questions and Answers] tonsofquestions:
So there are two things to consider here:

1) It would be a huge security flaw if you could unlock a device and keep the user data. While I understand it's yours, there are a lot of bad actors in the world, and you would absolutely not want that to be something that could be possible. Unlocking the bootloader absolutely wipes the data partition, and there's no way around this.

2) Even if you could, you wouldn't be able to unlock the bootloader as-is, because doing so requires changing a flag from the developer settings in the rom. So you'd need to get into the phone - at which point you'd have access to your data already.

Did you formerly have adb access? Perhaps you could see if you can connect while the phone is trying to boot - and that might let you run a fsck operation or maybe even view the logs to see what's happening.
