Help, newbie confused!

After 4 1/2 years I finally killed my M8 and am having a HTC 10 with Nougat delivered tomorrow. My M8 was stock rooted with xposed and that's what I would like to do to the 10. When I set up my M8, I unlocked via HTC dev, flashed TWRP, TWRP rooted the device and then I flashed xposed. I would like to do the same to my 10 but am unsure if it's possible or how to do it. I tried googling but a lot of the results were a year old and and I'm not sure that they still apply today. Do I still unlock via HTC dev or should I use sunshine? Will TWRP still install a version of Chainfire's SuperSiu or do I need to use Magisk to root? Is xposed still possible?

You can still unlock via HTC Dev. S-off via Sunshine is also possible and you can leave your bootloader locked, as well. You'll need to use the latest SuperSU, as well as the latest version of TWRP. Can't comment on Magisk versus Xposed because I don't use either one.

Xposed is not possible on Nougat. What were you using it for? I use Magisk for all the mods I used to use (adblocking, YouTube background playback, etc.). Magisk is pretty cool, and Magisk's SU replaces SuperSU for all intents and purposes that I'm aware of.
If you want / need S-OFF, you'll need to pay for Sunshine. If you don't, just unlock via HTCDev, run the latest RUU if necessary (a new update just came out today), install TWRP, boot up into your home screen, install Magisk Manager, use that to download Magisk root, and go about your merry way.
I just jumped from stock (Bad Boyz) to Pure Fusion AOSP from the main HTC 10 forum, and I'm really loving being back on AOSP.

There is Xposed for Nougat, albeit recently and it's listed as unofficial.

Well how about that? I just skimmed but it looks like the original dev behind Xposed is leery of this implementation, but I don't understand all of that. I guess just the fact that it's possible will be encouraging for a lot of people.
Even so, I'm quite happy with Magisk.

None at all that I've noticed. I mainly use LTE but I switched to wifi for a few hours last night, no problems on my end.

Thank you all for your help, I'll hold out on magisk for a bit to see how the new xposed comes along.

I haven't tried it myself but be careful, several people have told me the Sprint HTC10 has more problems being unlocked than other US versions, especially when it comes to flashing the radio to use on different carriers. Specifically I've been told trying to flash the Verizon radio will not only fail but has the potential to permanently disable your radio.

Need a rom that will pass SafetyNet.

I've messed about with this thing since I got it in June, have stuck with stock rom, mostly, did a bit of MultiROM stuff, with ViperOS, have used Magisk for root, haven't passed SafetyNet very often since I got it. Recently swapped out MultiROM for a unified system with AOSPExtended, initially passed basicintegrity, but I also installed Xposed after that, and since then, even after uninstalling Xposed and Magisk, as well as reflashing the rom, without wiping, ctsprofile and basicintegrity both continue to fail. I just wanna play Animal Crossing, man...

Most custom kernels take care of that for you...

So, flashing ElementalX could potentially get my SN back? I've not ventured into kernels, yet, so I'm wary, but I've heard good things about ElementalX... And should I wipe my system and reflash AEX, too?

Thanks! I had to wipe data to get it to work. And flashing everything but the SN Fix got my basic integrity back, with false on CTSProfile. Game works, though.

TWRP for Honor 8 pro encrypted mode

Can anyone help on how to modify current TWRP to support encryption?

Nothing as of now. The support is dead.
Yesterday I tried rooting my phone by using almost every instance of magisk available on the web, but I either end up with a bootloop or Error 255.
There is no point installing twrp, you will only break your phone.
Only solution is never trust honor again in terms of development support.

SAME Issues.

Unfortunately, i'm regretting getting the H8P instead of the OP5. Kinda had a feeling this would happen but took a shot anyway.
Tried many versions of Magisk but all ends up in bootloop. Spent over 30 hours on the device, tinkering.
Best bet would be to flash Stock, lock bootloader and forget about SU . The only choice given how expensive the phone was to a common man when it released.
No more Honor or Huawei every again. For me or anyone who askes for suggestions.
I'm not that into android that i can jump in to help devs aswell. But i will try to stay active and support those who brick their device.

@anirudh & @shailendra1993
Sorry, but you seem both out of topic.
It seems to me latest official magisk is working on your device by flashing a patched ramdisk via fastboot.
Coming back to OP, the latest public TWRP available for your device seem to be there https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8-pro/how-to/restoring-dukfullotaromflasher-t3741223But they may not support encryption...

Thanks ! I get constant bootloops when I flash almost all versions of magisk on stock Oreo 8.0.0.323 . I'm now using AOSP from open krin . 8.1 . Not the most stable rom, but I love stock Android. Definably miss a few stock rom features though. It would help if you tell us the version of magisk flashed and also stock rom version.
And the installation method you followed for magisk was patching boot using magisk manager and flashing the image via fastboot right?

Follow each step as mentioned and and it works perfect.

I am using this past few weeks on Oreo 8 with no bootloops. Yes with Xposed i too had boot loop issues.

Thanks! Works.

Hey,
I followed those same instructions before.
From v 15.4, we can directly extract our boot.img , patch it using magisk manager and flash it using fastboot.
And it works like a charm. With data encrypted.
Thanks for your inputs

wait wait... so you have root and adblock /titanium backup working on latest oreo? please let me know.. I want to get to oreo update but I can't lose titanium and adblock (and keep decrypted my sdcard?!?)
Sent from my DUK-L09 using Tapatalk

I come from an Honor 8 completely turned inside out (root,twrp,xposed,gravity,substratum,v4a,titanium backup,kali linux and so so so on).
Can I hope to get almost half of them on my new Honor 8 Pro? I would stay on latest stock B189, but If I well understand there are problems with TWRP and TB because of encryption. What is the state of the art we can get on Nougat? Thanks a lot.

Rooting Safetynet and Banking apps

Hi,
Phone: Moto G4 Plus(32GB)
TWRP + Magisk + Xposed + Elementalx : Is this a gud idea?
Is Magisk Hide effective enough to use Banking apps in rooted phones?
Whats safetynet exactly. What does it mean that its pass?
Its expected that Moto G4 Plus will get Oreo Update.
Will the Update be available if device is rooted with Magisk?
Is there a blog that any body has used to do this on their Moto G4 plus and has successfully worked with everything working without any issues?
can you give me the link to that step by step blog/forum which you used?
There were too many blogs/forums about this and there is a reply in each one them saying that their phone is bricked now. Dont want to take that risk.
Does anybody have a perfect/absolutely amazing blog with step by step guide.
This is my primary phone.
Your help will be much appreciated.

Not good idea,
Correct order,
TWRP > Custom kernel > Magisk . (Done.)
Don't flash Xposed if you want to use banking apps, it will break safetynet.

Personally, i don't use banking apps, but Magisk Hide works fine on other similar apps. So, it will be fine there..

Safetynet is term that is related to safety,
If your device passes safetynet then it's secure, banking apps and others will work fine,
But if safetynet fails, then your device is unsecured, banking and related apps may not work..
Its expected that Moto G4 Plus will get Oreo Update.
Will the Update be available if device is rooted with Magisk?
Click to expand...

Even Lenovo/Motorola don't know when OREO will be there for Moto G4 Plus. No other comments
EDIT: If update available in future, you will have to be on stock unmodified ROM, that meams it will fail if magisk or any mod installed..
can you give me the link to that step by step blog/forum which you used?

Check Guides section for Unlocking and flashing TWRP,
And follow LATEST guide for rooting (older thread/information for rooting can brick your device)
And if you are finding XPOSED + Safetynet Pass + Banking apps, then not possible..

Hello there,
I too am using Moto G4 32GB Dual SIM (XT1643) as a daily driver and I am using a Custom ROM i.e. HAVOC which is an Android 8.1.0 Oreo based ROM. I am using Magisk and TWRP and banking apps like SBI anywhere, Kotak App are working flawlessly. I have not tested Google Tez though.
Even when I had the stock ROM, I rooted it using Magisk and Installed ElementalX Kernel via TWRP. I followed steps from XDA itself, used this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/g4-g4-plus-how-to-install-magisk-pass-t3551896
And as per your question on SafetyNet, it is basically a security check for android developers so that they can verify that the phone is not rigged or rooted or modified. In order for every developer to write their own code to go through various checks to check the integrity of the phone, google provided SafetyNet an easy to implement feature for developers. For more on SafetyNet, visit this website.:
https://www.nowsecure.com/blog/2017/08/03/android-apps-google-safetynet-attestation-api/
And as far as Magisk is concerned, I personally prefer Magisk over any other rooting solution, there are more than one reasons for that. Mainly I that I play Pokemon Go, so Magisk does it's job very well hiding my device status from Pokemon Go.
For difference between Magisk and SuperSu, here is the link:
https://www.xda-developers.com/magisk-vs-supersu/
You can install OTA updates with MAGISK easily, just need to install STOCK kernel and Uninstall Magisk.
I've never used XPOSED on my device, so I cannot help you with that.
And you may know this already, but I will tell you just in case you don't, In order to root your phone or install custom recovery, you need to unlock bootloader and then install custom recovery like TWRP.
To unlock your bootloader, visit:
Motorola - Unlock Bootloader
And Finally, I hope you know what you're doing. Follow the steps carefully and always read comments and user reviews before doing anything at all.
Happy Rooting

Maybe Wait till OREO OTA comes
I asked this because these two links kind of suggested that it was possible.
https://www.reddit.com/r/nexus5x/comments/5wdb27/does_elementalx_kernel_break_safety_net/
https://www.xda-developers.com/systemless-xposed-android-oreo-available-pass-safetynet/
I may be wrong.
Maybe i should wait for Oreo OTA to come and then decide.

Magisk Xposed is not working, I tried both the version of Xposed but phone doesn't boot at all. So in short, Root with Magisk + banking apps is possible, but root with Magisk+Xposed (even Magisk xposed)+banking apps is not possible as of now.
I tried Sandhook and Yahfa, both are not working.

Please help! MOTO e4 n/a problem!

I tried to add a custom ROMt hat is for Moto e4 (I made a backup) using the TWRP recovery. I rebooted and I got the n/a screen and its been like this for a long time. please help!
Screen is getting warm.

Would help to know what service you're on and your model number.
I have MetroPCS and the xt1765 variant which is Qualcomm.
I don't personally know enough to tell you which one you have but if you post those two things someone here could answer you.
Or use an app like cpu-z to check for yourself.
https://m.apkpure.com/cpu-z/com.cpuid.cpu_z
BTW now that you fixed your boot loop issue did you ever get your custom rom working? Very important to know which version you have before you start flashing ****.
I'm surprised you got twrp working without knowing which one you have....
If you got TWRP from the official app I think your on Mediatek because as far as I know that's the only variant with an official TWRP.
Don't take my word for it though....
Make sure and then double check before you continue.
Best of luck

Sorry for not responding. I was having log in problems with XDA. Anyways, my provider is Sprint and my model number is XT1766 QUALCOMM. Turns out I was using some other Moto e4 custom ROM that could've bricked my phone. I used a different custom ROM called LineageOS and it actually works. It upgraded my Android version from 7.1.1 to 7.1.2.
=========================
I got TWRP from just making a simple Google search.
Version is 3.2.3 r1 perry edition.
I've had rooting problems with my firmware ROM.
Everytime I download SUPERSU, the installation goes completely fine with TWRP recovery. When I reboot my phone twice, SuperSU starts to glitch and keeps on granting permission from apps that didn't even ask for one. I just fixed it by installing new custom ROM. It fixed MAGISK error 1 and stop the bug with SuperSU. Everything is going fine. I love it. Also, thanks for your support, I appreciate it.

SuperSU will never work with the stock ROM because of the f2fs loopback bug. Unless you know how to patch the boot image to fix the bug and rebuild it yourself.

Glad you got everything working, I had troubles installing Xposed on stock for the same reason. I ended up settling on Resurrection Remix which is very stable and everything works except for voicemail notifications..... Which I'm not 100% sure is even due to RR. I had to pay $5 a month on metropcs to enable call forwarding to enable youmail which is so far an excellent 3rd party vmail replacement. Small price to pay considering everything else is exactly how I want it. Hope you get your phone exactly how you want it as well
