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

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.
Hello good folks of XDA
I have a stock A2017G. I would like to have root access as I really like safety and flexibility that Titanium Backup gives me. I would also like to be able to play Pokemon GO and perhaps use banking apps and Android Pay. I am a big fan of FolderMount too but perhaps with 64GB internal memory, this won't be so important. I'm not really bothered about custom ROMs as there tends to be issues (I spent ages getting everything to work on Ambasadii on my SGS4) but may move to Resurrection Remix once it's settled down.
I think that means that I should install Magisk. Can any UK user share with me a set up that will give me systemless root on an A2017G? I've read the forums in detail but I can't see anything definitive and there's lots of discussion of various modems etc.
Thank you!
Hi guys,
Sadly i got injured and i cant get out of the house. I'm playing Pokemon Go, but i live in a rural area...
Downgrading my brand new S8+ is not an option, but a friend gave me his old S4.
really want to install that game, with a FlyGPS app so i Wont miss the event
If i'm not mistaken, FlyGps works best with 6.1 Roms.
I believe its a GT-I9500, but not sure
the game isnt even working on that S4 - guess its because of the CM rom on it. tried to Unroot - doesnt help.
Hope im not breaking any rule...
If you have any other method, I would SO appreciate your help!
Here are some screenshots of what he has on it:
Thanks in advance, Mark
Pokémon Go uses Google's Safetynet. In your case, you have to use a custom ROM with Magisk in order to hide root so Safetynet doesn't trigger. You'll have to check the I9500 development forums to see if there is a current ROM that will work for you, and that ROM will either have to have SuperSU for root - the Magisk installer script can replace SuperSU - or no root at all. Stock-based ROMs won't work for you, and it's doubtful there are any Android 6.x ROMs to fit your needs, so you're likely looking for an Android 7.x ROM instead.
As to breaking any rules? If Niantic catches you using a location spoofing app you will be permanently banned from the game. You need to decide whether this event is worth the risk of being permanently banned.

How to root non common phones get a custom recovery and custom rom
Hi guys
It is just recently when I've started learning more and more about the Android and the various things you can do with it. (This can be long so you may just want to skip to the last line) Until recently I've only used my phone only for it's basic functionality.
But I'm nowhere near a developer and I really want to learn more.
I have this device called Infocus M535 Android 6.0 (which is obviously not a popular device I'm sure a lot of you haven't even heard about it). And I just regret buying it. Cause I have tried a lot of rooting method but nothing seems to work for me. I've tried kingoroot, kingroot as well. Then I learned that you don't necessarily need to have root access to install a custom recovery like twrp but then there is no official version of it available. I've seen many people YouTube having twrp on this device, I tried asking them but no response from them.
I cannot even think about getting a custom rom for this thing because I know nobody is working on that. And tbh I don't even care about getting a custom rom. All I need is a way to root this thing.
I know this thing is old and I should get a new device but Please please please help me because I just can't afford getting a new phone.
Any help Will be really appreciated

Hello XDA.
Ive spent a few hours now reading OP8P forums, and got some rough idea of what I'm getting my self into.
I bought a OP8P, its coming to me within next 10 days. I bought it brand new from T-Mobile in Croatia (Europe).
This is my first time owning a Oneplus, my current phone is Galaxy S7, before that i had an S5... On these two i got some experience with custom roms, rooting, flashing, twrp.... But i didnt do anything to my phone in the last 2 years, its been stagnant... and the knowledge i gained... well, if you don't use it, you lose it..
It always seemed that oneplus had great support in XDA community, but from all these threads I read in past few hours, i gathered some confusing conclusions.
What i expected when i made the purchase is that I would be able to have a stock up-to-date OxygenOS, with root (magisk), twrp, xposed, banking apps working, youtube vanced, photochrome camera...
But..... seems like i would have to go through a lot of trouble achieveing all of these things, deciding between OOS 10 vs 11, if they're even achievable with some of the knowledge i kept from my samsung days...
So here are a few questions i would like answers for...
1. When i get the phone and start it for the first time, am I going to be running OOS 10 until i manually upgrade?
2. Do you suggest I stay on OOS10 or upgrade to OOS11?
3. If i upgrade to OOS11, can I have any of the stuff i mentioned that i expected?
4. I saw some user saying if I decide to root, i should not be using modified/patched boot.img... Why is that? (btw i don't recall ever doing this back in day, would love some info about it...)
5. Is TWRP possible, whats the new META?
4. Is there anything else i should know before doing anything, also I wouldn't mind if you would explain all this to me like im five years old
Thanks in advance!
I'm a op8pro owner, and I have Magisk (22.0), and root without twrp (no recovery yet suported for android 11 on this device). You have to patch boot.img with Magisk. Not a big head ache.
Photocrom camera not working on 11 as before on android 10, and I tried two existing methods (it works, but no "X-ray" feature).
Since android 11 is in its stable release, new devices should come with it, but not sure.
All apps mentioned, Root and non Root are working just fine,
Thanks for replying.
Could you possibly link the guide which I should follow, and save me from something outdated, since I might not be rooting my OOS11 from inactive slot on OOS10
Thanks again!
