I want buy tab A 7 2016 wifi but I'm not sure if this is version I should purchase, which one is easier to root, and which have better support with roms, kernels and tweaks?
wifi or lte?
honestly, can you hold me by hand and show me the truth?
If you want support and root don't buy cheap Samsung tablet lol

kid, sorry to be adult here but I don't need anything better, this is only a notepad with cloud access... [and stuff to let my phone rest]
The T280 (wifi) has twrp, root, magisk, a permissive kernel, and can extend its space with any of those apps and an SD card. (I personally use a 32gb SD card along with apps2sd), buthe custom rom support had either come to a halt or is just taking a lot of time because of personal lives.
The T285(lte) on the other hand has more development with custom roms.
Good luck with your choice.

Hi everyone,
Ever since my first Android device one of the first things i did after unboxing was unlock and root
Now with this device i dont see the necessity of rooting it, because everything i needed root for is adjustable.
The only thing i miss it for are the ads in the apps.
Who is gonna convince me to root it?

Just think of: Adaway, Lucky Patcher, Emoji Switcher (if you, like me, hate the Android Emojis)... I have already rooted, and I'm super happy with it
install adguard. with vpn mode it can block adds in apos and browsers without root
i rooted mine but i didnt know about huawei devices, i was used to use cynaogen mods so was thinking i will be able to flash mods and apps there too. As the time showed up, Emui is highly modified android and with most of mods uncompatible , no xposed support, so i dont see much reasons to root device with EMUI yet, but of course, delete all useless google apps is good think
I have root on my p8 because i started using viper4android and I cant listen to music on my phone without viper anymore ^^
So root is a must have for me!
Good thread btw.
I would root it but can't do much with root on P8.
Any good mods working on P8?
I have already tryed the custom rom, but came back to stock
There are some guys working on porting CM to P8, but who knows when will e available.
Maybe OP can do a list in first post with working mods for P8
If someone has good mods for P8 post or pm them and i will put in the first post.

I have rooted mine. It's a fairly straightforward process although different then my previous Samsung devices. Unfortunately there's no Xposed support and even though I have TWRP no ROMs yet :crying:
There is only one custom rom: fRomFuture, based on Lollipop

How to root this device?
@djg269, same here - no use for root so far since I purchased it in Feb2016, so haven't done it.
Hi, potter community,
I've been quite happy with my Moto G 2014 (LTE), however, the battery is slowly dying and 1GB of RAM and the old CPU is no longer a real pleasure. Furthermore, the maintainer has announced that he will no longer support the device and we'll thus most likely never see laos 15.1 (currently 14.1 is officially supported).
I've seen that @vache is building unofficial 14.1 and 15.1 laos (are there efforts to make them official?) and official TWRP support is present as well. Thus:
Is it worth switching to potter - it's currently ~ 240€ on Amazon Germany.
Follow up questions: is magisk working (To my knowledge potter is encrypted, right? Anything to be aware of with that and flashing magisk?)?
Is the xposed framework working on top (I'd stick with 14.1 untill there's an official release for 15)?
Thanks ahead!
If you want official support from the manufacturer, switch to Nokia.

I'm not sure how that relates to my question.
I was asking for official lineageos support which by no mean is a requirement for my decision.

Hi gothicVI - I see you have hundreds of Thanks from helping others on XDA, so please excuse jackass comments by those who don't. It also appears that you did examine the G5 Plus forums before asking your questions.
Yes, Magisk works very well (but not so much SuperSU which I don't use anymore) for both root and addons like Xposed/V4A/etc, the only issue being that on some ROMs a fix/patch is needed in order to pass SafetyNet. By now most ROMs don't need that anymore although the latest LOS 15.1 still does.
Another main issue has been with users going from stock Nougat to 8.1 custom ROMs and then deciding to go back to stock losing their IMEI settings and voLTE capability. You'll see threads about resolving that (backing up/restoring EFS partition, etc) but I think many still lost voLTE even after restoring their IMEI. Not using voLTE myself and not wanting to go back to stock Nougat, I suggest that you do more research on that if you think it could affect you. The hope was/is that this problem would be fixed by the promised official Oreo upgrade for G5 Plus, but now it's unclear if Lenovorola will ever release it.
In general though it's hard to beat the performance & value of G5 Plus which is still considered one of the very best mid-range devices even with the G6's soon coming out. I've been very satisfied with it and came from the supposedly better Moto X Pure/Style but I like the G5 Plus more with its excellent battery life and still very good performance for my needs. Definitely get the 64 GB model with 4 GB RAM though if possible.
There is still good Development support with many AOSP and LOS based ROMs which are mostly all 8.1 now, so if you're planning to root and use the latest custom ROMs with updated security patches & newest features, you should be happy with it, just be careful about reverting to stock Nougat if you ever want/need to do that.
Thank you @Dahenjo for your in depth answer. I assume you're not using xposed since caring about safety net
W.r.t. magisk: are there any special prerequisites? I never dealt with a encrypted data partition.
Pretty sure I'm gonna order this weekend.
Thanks again!

I came from a Titan ( sister device of Thea,just dual SIM instead of LTE) to Potter and for me it was worth every cent. As you said my battery was slowly dying too and the device was kind of slow with every rom.
Now I have SOT from about 7 hours, no need to carry my powerbank around, battery lasts way more than a day. And with 3gb it's running like hell compared to my good old Titan, you can open apps from recents hours later. I bought it just after christmas for 192€ and I think the price will fall again now as the Moto G6 series is out.
It is the first device with an encrypted data partition for me too and the steps when rooting are a bit different but there is a very good guide in here and you can always PM me if you run into problems.
Basically you have to decrypt the partition once in TWRP after you have unlocked your BL. After that you flash magisk as usual and magisk also prevents the device from overwriting the recovery.
I can recommend this device, yes Oreo is delayed but there are monthly security patches.

No, I'm not using Xposed anymore simply because many ROMs now include the tweaks I needed it for. Also magisk provides add-on modules for features in a similar way that Xposed did, including for Xposed itself which I believe does pass safetynet on Orea if done correctly, but I haven't tried it myself.
I see @Wolfcity just answered regarding encrypted /data, although I would add to be careful using some of the guides here which give very outdated links and you don't need certain files/things anymore that they say to do. Just flash latest official TWRP 3.2.1-0 after unlocking then go to recovery and immediately do a Format Data (not wipe, it's where you have to type in y-e-s to proceed after warning that all user data will be gone), then boot back into recovery/TWRP and install a custom ROM and magisk, gapps too if you want and all should be good.
I had a dual SIM G 2014 and right now I couldn't be happier with my current G5 Plus. I haven't rooted this one yet, but I am planning to do so when the phone is left out of its two year warranty. I needed to replace my phone since I was unable to execute Android Auto, Spotify and Google Maps navigation with my G 2014 at the same time. I was worried if these apps would still be unable to be executed by G5 Plus. From my 1 year experience, one thing is for sure: the G5 Plus performs nearly like a flagship.

You´re right, there are some outdated guides, this one is usable: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/how-to-root-moto-g5-plus-t3579659/post74673573#post74673573
Just use magisk 16 instead of 15.3.
If you don´t want to flash a custom rom (potter stock is not that bad) you have to take care of the F2FS loopback bug which prevents magisk from installing modules.
You can flash a custom kernel or, as I did use this F2FS Loopback Bug Module. It moves magisk from data to cache and it´s a flash and forget solution.
Nope, not unless you wanna lose volte and IMEI among other things. Get a plus device or something. However, if you wait for Oreo, things might be different. If you do get one stay clear of Oreo custom ROMs for now.
Hi guys! Got an A1 dirt cheap, and oh my god is it the perfect lovebaby from pure android and xiaomi design (cough apple cough).
I'm not completely new to rooting, flashing, etc. but there seems to be quite some difference between A1 and my old HTC 10, so I'd like to gather some info from you guys.
So, ideally I'd like to have/do this:
stick to stock rom and kernel, no issues there. also, staying on 8.0 is no problem, no need to upgrade to 9.0 whenever that comes around.
get TWRP going, so I can; get xposed and root
somehow keep netflix and snapchat going after root, now I know that rooted devices can't, but I'm hoping you guys know something I don't.
I'm used to rooting with SuperSU, no particular reason other than habit. I see a lot of magisk going around here, are there specific benefits to it? And why do we need to flash an .img for rooting, I could straight up root after unlocking bootloader on my HTC 10.
Kind regards
I can only provide you some info about magisk. People here tends to root with magisk maybe because its features. It can install mods systemlessly. You can google what is that. And basically for me, magisk is easy to use. We can find mods easily from Downloads section and manage mods with ease. And for me a custom ROM user, magisk its a must . And I never use xposed on a1 because when not careful enough it can make bootloop. No one like bootloop.
And yeah, Mi A1 is a beauty, especially the design (Cough apple cough) hahaha
Attention: IMEI locked - Flashing Beta version requires wiping all phone data, please be careful and backup your data before doing this operation.

Is it based on Android 8.1?

Understand flyme 8 might be on android 8.Meizu is always one year back on android updates.But they always update security patch along with firmware upgrades.So wait.Since this phone can receive more android upgrades and a pro model, you can expect android upgrades next year.:fingers-crossed:
I hope so. Thank you!
Hi
I'm a total newbie about Meizu Pro 6 Plus. I bought it for my wife yesterday. I've installed custom ROMs on plenty of Chinese phones, Samsung and LG as well but never on Meizu. All I've done is update to Flyme 7.0.1G using update.zip copied to Recovery drive (phone in recovery mode plugged to the computer). Now I'd like to update the system to a newer beta version, for example the one above. Unfortunately I can see no tutorial as usual in such cases. Does it mean that the process is the same as for the official stable version? I mean cable+recovery+update.zip.
One thing more. The author says about making backup. How can I backup the system and data partitions without TWRP? Is there any other solutions?
Thanks in advance

Tell me where you bought it from?Then i can say whether you can go to chinese from global as usual method as you said abow or not.Backup can be taken from phone itself. There is option for that in settings. Check it yourself.
This is exactly the phone I bought:
https://www.efox-shop.com/versandko...-rom-samsung-exynos-m1-exynos-8890-2-g-310632
As you can see that's German online shop efox-shop.com. The phone was shipped from Germany.
The sticker at the back of the box says that the phone is to be purchased in Mainland China. I'm confused.
I don't know if I wanna go to a Chinese beta version. For now I'd like to install the newest beta Global. Of course, if beta Chinese would be better than Global I could install it. I'm afraid only tons of bloatware inside and no other languages but Chinese.
There is no chance to brick the phone doing such update? What can I do with my backup if the system will not start. Double confused.

Yeah i checked it well.As you are now in G, you can install beta G as you like, same method.It will install surely.If you want to go chinese beta(as it is the best with features now), try same method, if it shows corrupted or failed to install, it means your phone is purely global.I checked the site you bought from, the sellers at it, didn't mention whether they do unlock processes they usually done for global users. If bought it from bangood or ali, surely they done this.So same process can be done on all firmwares downloaded. It is not a junk to use chinese flyme 7 since most apps can be uninstalled without root now.I recommend you to try to install that if you can as it provide you well battery management than any other versions.:fingers-crossed:

Morover no bricks occur if you done install through flyme recovery.It will restart for sure. Dont worry. If the firmware you downloaded didn't worked, recovery didn't install it. Always do all at battery abow 80%.
Thank you very much @adarshm4you! I'll try the newest Chinese beta then. I find the phone itself a great piece of hardware but the system is just a scream of despair I see now that Google Play Services eat 60%-70% of battery power! That's insane. The last question I hope - rooting is not a problem?
The last last question: formatting data it absolutely obvious to get a stable system?

See i only enable playstore on background. This saves battery. And formatting not needed for getting stable system. But clearing data is needed while going to chinese from global and viceversa.

Rooting not a problem for meizu usually since we can flash upgrades via recovery easily.Ota support is not necessary now a days.
I have this Meizu with Flyme 7.0.1.0G on board. Can I instal this software? Is can be treated as a daily basis?

You can install it ofcourse.Global updates are slow now.Chinese beta is better.
Hello, I have Pro 6 plus bought from banggood and on the box it is Chinese but obviously flashed with global software (I don't know how they do it but in settings shows that I have global version). It comes with flyme 5. I receive OTA flyme 6.1.0.0 and flashed successful. Now I want to flash Chinese ROM but not sure if I brick my phone. Do you think it is safe to flash Chinese ROM in my case? And if yes what is best stable 7.1.5.0A or beta 7.8.7.24A ? Thanks.
I have just bought the galaxy tab A8 SM-X200 and couldn't wait for it to arrive so I could play about with it and customise it, as much as I love my S21 ultra, I couldn't help being curious as to root a reasonably priced tablet before.
I managed to flash custom roms and root Sony phones before but never samsung.
Anyway I've tried a few of these one click roots but they all say the same thing; that my tablet isn't vulnerable enough but also I can't see to find a custom recovery for it either.
Could some one please help me out there. Thanks
have you found any solution ??
