Alcatel OT-890D (DUAL SIM) root success!! no pc needed

NOTE: I will not be held responsible on anything that may happens to your phone... This proceedure is to DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK!! and rooting the phone may void your warranty ..
These are the steps I did to successfully root my cheap Alcatel OT-890D in chronological order.
Step 1 is Optional, someone confirmed it also works without resetting the device
I reset my phone (go to Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset)
after restoring go to Settings > Application > check Unknown sources
then Settings > Application > Development > check USB Debugging
go to Market search and install Superuser App (its a freeware)
go to Market search and install for any file manager/explorer of your choice (freeware)
download this ( http://db.tt/kO7yvIT ) and transfer it to your sdcard
open the File Manager you installed and look for the app you transfered ("Gingerbreak-v1.20-1.apk") then tap the file to install
RUN the app (BUT MAKE SURE THAT AN SDCARD IS INSERTED AND USB DEBUGGING IS CHECKED)
inside the Gingerbreak app tap "ROOT" wait for the process to finish ( its NORMAL that along the process the sdcard sez unmount)
just wait
the phone will reboot if the rooting is successfull
it will take a while before phone reboots congratulations!! you have now successfully rooted your phone to confirm try to install a rooted app or simply install root checker fromm the Market.
CREDITS SHOULD GO TO THE DEVELOPER OF THE APP (Android Exploid Crew and CHAINFIRE) THANKS!!!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765 BUY HIM A BEER!!!!
HOPE ROM DEVELOPMENTS WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON!!!
NOTE: After rooting the device i installed system app remover (paid app) to remove the preinstalled apps/games/etc to free some space and everything went fine.
BEWARE: Ive tried system restore via Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset after root and system app remover and as expected, it did remove all the deleted system apps. Since procedures on how to flash the phone and default firmware link is still unknown, BE VERY CAREFUL on using system app remover coz you might remove apps/processes that is needed for android to boot or you'll end up BRICKED!!

oooppps!! dont know if this is the proper thread to post this.. MOD please edit. thanks!!

hi
well lets keep this thread for alcatel...
maybe the first brand dual sim android phone deserve one!!

BEWARE: Ive tried system restore via Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset after root and system app remover and as expected, it did remove all the deleted system apps. Since procedures on how to flash the phone and default firmware link is still unknown, BE VERY CAREFUL on using system app remover coz you might remove apps/processes that is needed for android to boot or you'll end up BRICKED!!

maybe the xrecovery that you installed is really not meant for our device. sad to hear exploring the phone further bricked your phone.

and why did you wanted to have that xrecovery? there still no custom roms for the phone and adb driver links can be found nowhere too... i still cant find any reason why would i like an xrecovery in my phone

i wanted to back up my original rom...but....i bricked the phone..
now i must wait the service to repair it
bad luck!!

Great guide, Thanks!!!
But a question.... i'm unable to ceck for firmware update... boot loadr don't start...

there is no firmware update yet...and you can not do that from bootload mode...if you want to entry in bootload mode turn of your phone,press volume up botton,and while press that,press tha power button too!

Thanks for reply!

(Guide) De-chinese Stock KIW-AL10 (3GB VERSION) and make it Google friendly

This is a guide to debloat the KIW-AL10 and make stock Chinese usable.
First download Minimal adb and fastboot from here and install it.
Download HISuite and use that to install huawei drivers
Next Make sure developer options by hitting build number 7 times then open developer options and make sure usb debugging is activated in the developer options.
Plug phone into computer and install drivers, any unknown device will be adb so right click and select choose driver from list then select android devices then adb interface, always choose the older driver version for this phone.
One you have that installed you need to unlock your bootloader a great guide is here
Once you have unlocked the bootloader download install twrp using minimal adb and fastboot
First reboot into fastboot..
First check the device is present. using the command :adb devices
then boot into bootloader using the command : adb reboot-bootloader
if that doesn't work turn off device then switching on quickly hold down the volume down button while inserting the cable into the device
The device should then have a white screen with a robot and say unlocked in green writing
find the recovery image you downloaded and if its a different name rename it twrp.img so you know which one it is, files everywhere can get quite messy !
Now right click on the minimal adb link on the desktop and click open file location..
Now put the twrp.img file into the folder with the minimal adb files and close the window.
now flash the recovery using the command: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Voila if everything is sucessful your phone now has twrp recovery !
Next use the following command: adb reboot recovery, if that doesnt work force a shutdown by holding the power button then let the phone boot while holding down the volume up button, it should boot into recovery.
Next MAKE A BACKUP THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AND WHEN ITS DONE COPY IT TO A SAFE DRIVE DO NOT KEEP IT JUST ON YOU SD CARD IN CASE YOUR CARD DIES ! BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THIS PHONE AND THE FACT THAT YOU CANT FLASH NON VOLTE ROMS ON THIS PHONE THIS IS YOUR ONLY WAY OF RESTORING THE PHONE SO GUARD IT LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT !
Now get a cup of coffee and have a break its not good to rush things
Now to root your phone..
Finish your coffee.
Download supersu from here
Put the zip onto your phones sd card and boot into recovery, select install and select the supersu zip and let it install, once done reboot the phone, it may reboot a few times thats normal dont panic, once the phone has finished booting check you have the su app installed, if so now we can do the rest of the stuff.
Next download google play store from here and install it
After opening the play store and signing in you will probably be told to update google services, let it do it then reboot the phone
Next using the play store download root explorer
Next stage is to make the dialer English. and remove yellow pages.
Using root explorer navigate to /cust/alltelecom/cn/prop
hard press on the file local.prop and select open in text editor using the 3 dots on the top right
Look for the following lines of code ro.product.locale.region=CN or similar
Change this to ro.product.locale.region=GB (or whatever your location is such make sure the country code is in CAPS )
Save the file
Now navigate to /system and open build.prop in text editor and change the following lines of code so they end in County matching code not cn
Example
ro.product.locale.region=GB (or whatever your location is such )
ro.product.locale.language=en (or whatever your location is such )
ro.product.locale.region=GB
Go slow there is lots of lines there but you will see them if you take your time
select save and exit from root explorer then reboot.. viola the chinese and yellow pages is gone !
After reboot you may get a baidu warning about location tracking, dont panic we will kill that bugger next !
Next install system app safe remover from the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en_GB I always use this as its simple and keeps a backup of the removed app (just in case of problems)
Use that to remove all the chinse apps from the system including hivoice or it will interfere with google assistant, they are self explanatory
as they are all in chinese !
Next remove hi app
hi care
huawei id
network location (this is the one causing the nag screen dont worry work it will still work.
then reboot phone, there should be no more warnings about baidu location.
Now to get services google working.
You my have notice that despite installing a google account you contacts havent synced. we will fix that now..
To get google contacts to sync you need to install google contacts sync adaptor 6.0.1 from here
After you have installed it open up system apps and check it permision contacts is allowed, also open the battery setting and check it runs at boot and while screen is off, if there are no options for that ignore that bit and exit.
while you are there check google play services permission are all on especially contacts then reboot
Now install the google app from the app store
next install google assistant from the play store
now install google photos from the play store
Next install google chrome from play store
next install google calendar from the play store
next install google plus from the play store
next install google maps from the play store
next install youtube from the play store
Next install gboard from the play store
Then when all is done reboot the phone
After reboot check all the permissions of the apps and make sure all the google apps run at boot and keep running after screen off or they wont sync etc then reboot again.
Change horrible huawei keyboard to gboard in language settings
Open the google app and setup google and check your contacts have synced. set up the rest of your settings
Get a decent launcher as the huawei one sucks I use nova launcher prime its worth every penny but the free one is still good
Open settings app and click advanced, here you can change default launcher and select default app setting then select assistance and voice input, selectassist app as google select use text from screen and select use screenshot
I think that pretty much it, the rest you should be able to do yourself, have fun and good luck, any questions just ask.
I wrote this guide as there is very little info on the AL10,
Happy modding !

Very useful
Very useful post, my first venture into phone modding, enabled me to use my KIW-AL10 with Google functionality and to avoid the worst excesses of the stock Chinese software. Thanks!

Thanks for the thanks ! glad it was of use to you, I wrote another guide which enables volte to be removed and put lineage os on instead which you may find useful, its a fairly lengthy process but foolproof and doesn't brick the phone which was my main concern as there is nowhere to download the stock roms for these 3gb variants, cheers

So, the phone worked ok for a month, but then started restarting itself all the time. I deleted loads of apps, but it didn't solve the problem. Now, I decided to try to solve the problem by installing a custom ROM, so first step was to wipe the phone with TWRP. After wiping, I no longer had root access, and now installing SuperSU doesn't work, I can install the .zip through TWRP recovery, but I still don't have root access afterwards, according to Root Checker. Any ideas? Thanks!

OK, so I have tried quite a few times to install Lineage OS 14.1 and Viper, with both they get stuck in a bootloop. Trying to install Lineage with this guide https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/kiwi/install, the 'format data' stage is not successful. I get a message saying ' E:Unable to wipe '/data' - unknown file system 'auto Unable to format to remove encryption '.
I'm not totally committed to a custom ROM, but I'd like this phone to work. Any ideas, either how to troubleshoot the ROM flashing issue, or to get the phone stable with the stock de-Chinesed stock ROM? Thanks!

No, you have to install a stock rom with QFIL (on this forum you can find how to) than you can follow this guide.

I got problems with contacts sync from google, I gave Internet access and autostart mode for every Google app and install contacts sync. If I open Google app says it doesn't have Internet connection.

Yes , you can . I did it from Aex 5.2 . No problems at all . Only what you should to do before is installing of 3.1.218 firmware .

Be careful of updating to 259, Lenovo Chinese forum reported that it's slow and got heating issues.
It's not the final release version yet.

Oneplus 8T (Cyberpunk Edition) - HydrogenOS (Google Apps, Theme, OTA Updates!)

Originality/HydrogenOS
If you have a Chinese Cyberpunk Edition phone with OxygenOS, you'll notice that the Cyberpunk theme/assets are missing, and OTA updates lead to a boot loop. This guide will tell you how to restore the phone to its original software (HydrogenOS), unlock the bootloader, root it, and get Google Apps working. If you are American, this is the golden ticket. OTA updates will work and you will get the original theme/assets back.
I have made this guide because I purchased a Cyberpunk phone and the vendor installed OxygenOS. The Chinese Cyberpunk Edition phones are meant to use HydrogenOS. OxygenOS is not currently designed for the Chinese Cyberpunk Edition phones, despite many vendors installing it. I've spoken to Oneplus and it doesn't appear there are immediate plans to support the phone using OxygenOS.
This information is only for Chinese Cyberpunk Edition phones.
Rooting the phone is optional if you just want Google Apps.
Proceed at your own risk.
Setting Up
You're going to need to download and install these things for the remainder of the guide.
Minimal ADB/Fastboot (Download)
Oneplus USB Drivers (Download)
Qualcomm USB Drivers (Download)
If you've already been toying with the phone, you might already have these. If so, skip ahead.
Restoring HydrogenOS (Credit: Some_Random_Username)
You are going to want to download the MSM Download Tool, designed for Chinese KB2000 phones. This tool will wipe your phone and restore the original HydrogenOS software, as well as your Cyberpunk theme/assets.
You will need to download the tool here:
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=320230 (Credit: g96818)

The difference is only in HOS version.
If your phone is made after march 2021, i suggest using latest one HOS MSM (google link).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After downloading:
Extract the archive to a folder.
Remove any Chinese characters from folder names (if applicable).
Open "MsmDownloadTool V4.0".
Under "User Type", select "Others".
Click "Next".
Notice that "Target" is selected on the dropdown in the top-right of the window.
Change the option from "Target" to "H2" instead.
Now make sure your phone is ready:
Turn your phone off and wait a few seconds.
Press the "Start" button on the tool.
Hold both volume buttons down, while plugging your phone in through USB (to enter Qualcomm EDL mode).
The download tool will begin to work it's magic (should take 200-300 seconds).
Once it says "Download Complete", your phone should reboot into HydrogenOS.
Close the tool completely.
Perform the phone's setup, then decide whether you want to root the phone, or just install Google Apps. Your phone will be wiped if you unlock the bootloader.
If your device wasn't detected when running the tool, make sure you have the Qualcomm USB driver installed. To do this, open device manager. Under "QHUSB_BULK", select "Update Driver Software", and use the .cab file you found earlier.
Unlock the Bootloader (Optional)
Before you may root the phone, you will need to do the following.
Enable Developer Mode:
Open your Settings application and go to "About Phone".
Tap the section that says "Build Number" five times consecutively.
You will now have developer mode.
Enable OEM Unlocking/USB debugging:
Open your Settings application and click the search button.
Search for and enable the option: "OEM unlocking".
Search for and enable the option: "USB debugging".
You will be asked if you want to trust the device when it's plugged in. Click "Allow".
You will want to do the following, using the ADB/Fastboot you downloaded:
Make sure your phone is plugged in.
Run the following:
adb reboot bootloader
Your phone will reboot into the bootloader.
Run the following:
fastboot oem unlock
Use the volume/power buttons on your phone, to confirm.
Your phone will reboot and wipe itself, as well the Chinese applications. Perform the phone's normal setup again.
The bloatware and Chinese apps will return when you perform an OTA update at the end of the guide. They can also be removed/disabled.
Rooting (Optional)(Credit: DroidFreak32)
To root the phone we will be installing Magisk, using a patched boot.img from your current version of HydrogenOS. In this case, we are using version 11.0.1.2 (the version of the MSM Download Tool). I will be providing the boot.img from my phone, which I have used personally.
You will want to download the following:
Patched 11.0.1.2 Boot.img (Download)
Canary Magisk Manager (Download)
Preparation:
Re-enable developer mode, as well as USB debugging. Just like you did in the previous section.
Transfer the app-debug.apk to your phone, and install it through the phone's file manager.
Copy "magisk_patched_11.0.1.2.img" to your computer's ADB directory.
Rooting:
Run the following:
adb reboot bootloader
Your phone will reboot into the bootloader.
Run the following:
fastboot boot magisk_patched_11.0.1.2.img
Your phone will reboot, using the patched boot.img.
Enter the Magisk Manager app you installed earlier.
Tap Magisk (Install) -> Perform Direct Install
You will have root on reboot!
If Magisk says it needs to reboot to apply changes, you will need to follow the last set of steps again.
If for some reason the boot.img I provided doesn't work, you will need to follow DroidFreak32's guide. His guide is very detailed and will instruct you on how to create your own patched boot.img and root the phone.
Installing Google Apps (Credit: Steve0007 and @xxxrichievxxx)
To install, you will want to obtain a copy of the Google Play Store from a 3rd Party. @xxxrichievxxx suggested this solution, which worked for me regardless of unlock/root status.
You'll want to download, copy, and run the newest version from your device:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/google-play-store-23-1-19-release/
We had also tried using WeebGapps, which has problems after updating:
https://t.me/s/WeebGAppsChannel?q=#Android_11+#magisk_mode (Requires Telegram)
Updating
Unlike on OxygenOS, you will actually be able to download and perform OTA updates, through the Settings app. If you do not follow the steps below when updating, you will lose root.
Disable your Magisk modules (if applicable) when updating, and re-enable after you have successfully updated!
I also recommend disabling "automatic system updates" via Settings, as they can break your root.
Follow these steps:
epr said:
- Go to System-Update
- Tap OK when the message that you are rooted appears
- Tap "Download and install"
- Wait until you are prompted to reboot - DO NOT REBOOT NOW!
- Open Magisk Manager, select install -> Install to inactive slot and start installation
- When Magisk has finished installing, reboot and you stay rooted with latest OTA.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you are missing the Play Store after updating, install it from here. If you happen to mess up or lose Google Apps, try uninstalling/reinstalling the module.
If you do happen to lose root, you will want to follow DroidFreak32's guide, as I've only provided the patched boot.img for 11.0.1.2.
Bloatware
You're probably annoyed by all the preinstalled garbage. I've made a short script that disables the Chinese market and removes all 3rd party Chinese (By_3rd and heytap) applications.
Removing Market and Almost All 3rd Party Apps:

You will likely need to run this script each update, as applications are added back on update. I've decided to leave the other applications on my device for now. If you want to remove even more, Steve0007 recommended this resource.

Hopefully it prevents some headaches. Vendors are still shipping the phones out with OxygenOS.

Awesome! Going to try this out today

AWESOME!!!! Thank you very much!! Is google play installed as well? Last time I read something about all the google apps installed except Google play lol

Updated the bloatware section. The script will now remove 40 bloatware apps. These apps may conflict with Google Play, so I do suggest removing them.

Google Play has installed fine in my tests. However, updating might cause it to get removed. I'd keep a copy of the APK in your phone's storage, just so you have it if you need it.
You can find it here:

Hi, it's very strange, because on all oneplus, you can put hydrogen or oxygen without any problem.
Some people buy cyberpunk édition on Giztop or cect without any problem...very strange, no ?
Another question, IS it possible to add other language on hydrogen if de want to use it ?
Thanks

Right now I recommend updating the phone before installing Google Apps.

Went though this process to update, very well detailed. I went from Oxygen OS to Hydrogen then followed the rest of the steps to install Google Play.
I made the mistake of updating via OTA after restoring Hydrogen OS and had to repeat a couple step to get to the root step then followed the rest to install Google Play.
Youll need to download the 7z software to extract MSM software and one of the files needs a Telegram account. Its a messaging app that requires a phone number to create.
Also make sure you have the drivers sorted out, I had to do a bit of trouble shooting on the qualcomm drivers.
The cyberpunk theme is pretty cool.
I am having some spotty issues with google though, after updating OTA everything was fine but occasionally I will lose the play store. I have tried to directly install the apk and reinstall the module in magisk. But there is something kicking it off. The apps that I downloaded are still there, just the play store that drops. Edit: I am on module 4.0.4. Might try 4.0.5
Testing out the apps, I cannot get the maps app to work, keeps crashing. And for some reason I cannot log in to Chrome. It wont detect the account that is already logged into the phone (gmail, youtube etc) when I sign in manually it says 'This account already on device' I have signed in and out numerous times.
This is a pretty good solution to keep the cyberpunk theme, which you want if you have this phone. I get 5g speeds on US T-Mobile and have no issues with texts and calls. If the play store was more stable this will be a solid solution.
Props to @OniAraAra for compiling this detailed guide and members who contributed

Went through the WHOLE guide and I too was able to revert back to the Cyberpunk ROM! Super COOL!!! I am extremely happy! Thank you!
Also would like to note that Android Auto also crashes

I've been reading and mentally preparing all the steps by downloading the required files and walking through them, but I've no development experience and I'm worried that if I mess up a step, I would have no idea how to unstuck myself...
For example:
If your device wasn't detected when running the tool, make sure you have the Qualcomm USB driver installed. To do this, open device manager. Under "QHUSB_BULK", select "Update Driver Software", and use the .cab file you found earlier.

Is it possible to convert European 8T to full cyberpunk version?

Do not use this guide for that. It will not work. There's other threads on how to install the Cyberpunk goodies for a normal 8T.

It is as you say. Across multiple installs I've had minor issues with the Google Play store disappearing, but you can always reinstall the APK. I did not notice this until after I had made the guide.
@Steve0007 and I are looking for a more stable solution as we speak, so hopefully we'll have that soon!

OniAraAra said:
Originality/HydrogenOS
If you have a Chinese Cyberpunk Edition phone with OxygenOS, you'll notice that the Cyberpunk theme/assets are missing, and OTA updates lead to a boot loop. This guide will tell you how to restore the phone to its original software (HydrogenOS), unlock the bootloader, root it, and get Google Apps working. If you are American, this is the golden ticket. OTA updates will work and you will get the original theme/assets back.
I have made this guide because I purchased a Cyberpunk phone and the vendor installed OxygenOS. The Chinese Cyberpunk Edition phones are meant to use HydrogenOS. OxygenOS is not currently designed for the Chinese Cyberpunk Edition phones, despite many vendors installing it. I've spoken to Oneplus and it doesn't appear there are immediate plans to support the phone using OxygenOS.
This information is only for Chinese Cyberpunk Edition phones.
Proceed at your own risk.
Setting Up
You're going to need to download and install these things for the remainder of the guide.
Minimal ADB/Fastboot (Download)
Oneplus USB Drivers (Download)
Qualcomm USB Drivers (Download)
If you've already been toying with the phone, you might already have these. If so, skip ahead.
Restoring HydrogenOS (Credit: Some_Random_Username)
You are going to want to download the MSM Download Tool, designed for Chinese KB2000 phones. This tool will wipe your phone and restore the original HydrogenOS software, as well as your Cyberpunk theme/assets.
You will need to download the tool here:
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=320230 (Credit: g96818)
After downloading:
Extract the archive to a folder.
Remove any Chinese characters from folder names (if applicable).
Open "MsmDownloadTool V4.0".
Under "User Type", select "Others".
Click "Next".
Notice that "Target" is selected on the dropdown in the top-right of the window.
Change the option from "Target" to "H2" instead.
Now make sure your phone is ready:
Turn your phone off and wait a few seconds.
Press the "Start" button on the tool.
Hold both volume buttons down, while plugging your phone in through USB (to enter Qualcomm EDL mode).
The download tool will begin to work it's magic (should take 200-300 seconds).
Once it says "Download Complete", your phone should reboot into HydrogenOS.
Close the tool completely.
Perform the phone's setup, then proceed to the next step. Your phone will be wiped again in the next step.
If your device wasn't detected when running the tool, make sure you have the Qualcomm USB driver installed. To do this, open device manager. Under "QHUSB_BULK", select "Update Driver Software", and use the .cab file you found earlier.
Unlock the Bootloader
Before you may root the phone, you will need to do the following.
Enable Developer Mode:
Open your Settings application and go to "About Phone".
Tap the section that says "Build Number" five times consecutively.
You will now have developer mode.
Enable OEM Unlocking/USB debugging:
Open your Settings application and click the search button.
Search for and enable the option: "OEM unlocking".
Search for and enable the option: "USB debugging".
You will be asked if you want to trust the device when it's plugged in. Click "Allow".
You will want to do the following, using the ADB/Fastboot you downloaded:
Make sure your phone is plugged in.
Run the following:
adb reboot bootloader
Your phone will reboot into the bootloader.
Run the following:
fastboot oem unlock
Use the volume/power buttons on your phone, to confirm.
Your phone will reboot and wipe itself, as well the Chinese applications. Perform the phone's normal setup again.
The bloatware and Chinese apps will return when you perform an OTA update at the end of the guide. They can also be removed/disabled.
Rooting (Credit: DroidFreak32)
To root the phone we will be installing Magisk, using a patched boot.img from your current version of HydrogenOS. In this case, we are using version 11.0.1.2 (the version of the MSM Download Tool). I will be providing the boot.img from my phone, which I have used personally.
You will want to download the following:
Patched 11.0.1.2 Boot.img (Download)
Canary Magisk Manager (Download)
Preparation:
Re-enable developer mode, as well as USB debugging. Just like you did in the previous section.
Transfer the app-debug.apk to your phone, and install it through the phone's file manager.
Copy "magisk_patched_11.0.1.2.img" to your computer's ADB directory.
Rooting:
Run the following:
adb reboot bootloader
Your phone will reboot into the bootloader.
Run the following:
fastboot boot magisk_patched_11.0.1.2.img
Your phone will reboot, using the patched boot.img.
Enter the Magisk Manager app you installed earlier.
Tap Magisk (Install) -> Perform Direct Install
You will have root on reboot!
If Magisk says it needs to reboot to apply changes, you will need to follow the last set of steps again.
If for some reason the boot.img I provided doesn't work, you will need to follow DroidFreak32's guide. His guide is very detailed and will instruct you on how to create your own patched boot.img and root the phone.
Installing Google Apps (Credit: Steve0007)
To install Google Apps, we will be using WeebGapps (Magisk Module). There is no custom recovery available, so this is the best way to sideload Google Apps currently.
You will want to download the zip from this link:
https://t.me/s/WeebGAppsChannel?q=#Android_11+#magisk_mode (Requires Telegram)
After downloading the zip:
Transfer the zip you have downloaded to your phone's storage.
Open Magisk Manager
Select the Modules icon (looks like a puzzle piece)
Select "Install from storage"
Install the module's zip file
Your phone will reboot, with Google Apps
If you receive version errors when installing the module, download an older version. Version 4.0.4 worked perfect for me.
Updating
Unlike on OxygenOS, you will actually be able to download and perform OTA updates, through the Settings app. If you do not follow the steps below when updating, you will lose root.
Disable your Magisk module when updating, and re-enable after you have successfully updated!
I also recommend disabling "automatic system updates" via Settings, as they can break your root.
Follow these steps:
If you are missing the Play Store after updating, install it from here. If you happen to mess up or lose Google Apps, try uninstalling/reinstalling the module.
If you do happen to lose root, you will want to follow DroidFreak32's guide, as I've only provided the patched boot.img for 11.0.1.2.
Bloatware
You're probably annoyed by all the preinstalled garbage. I've made a short script that disables the Chinese market and removes all 3rd party Chinese applications.
Disabling Market and Removing 3rd Party Apps:
Visit here: https://pastebin.com/raw/3SsA1tpc
Open notepad and save the above text as a .bat file.
Copy and run the file from your ADB directory.
You will likely need to run this script each update, as applications are added back on update. I've decided to leave the other applications on my device for now. If you want to remove even more, Steve0007 recommended this resource.

After eliminating the bloatware, it's actually very nice. Asides from minor issues with the Play store vanishing, it should serve everyone's needs perfectly.
That said, I do encourage people abstain from installing the Google Apps if they are uncomfortable reinstalling the APK when or if it vanishes. We're finding a fix for this.

When I boot, I end up back in the TWRP main menu. I've tried:
"Reboot System and on Install TWRP App? menu, tap on button Do Not Install" after:
"Then tap on Install > choose los*.zip,
then Add more zips and select opengapps*.zip,"
(advice given in another forum) but it makes no difference: LineageOS animation continued for several minutes, then I get into RECOVERY REBOOT and back to TWRP menu.

Hi @Tetenterre,
first boot leads to bootloop.
Flash > boot > force reboot and wait

Thanks for your reply, djibe89 - when I do that (ie Power & Volume down), I end up back in TWRP.

Installed successfully by following your guide to a T (although I used the latest TWRP). I know support for this old girl has probably reached it's limit, but it was tough to find the ROM file (most links in the thread are dead - had to use one from archive.org)
Thanks a lot for putting this together!
