Unofficial Lineage, Magisk

Will putting Magisk on My ZTE A2017G with unofficial Lineage 14.1 get passed Safety net and allow me to use apps like Android Pay?
Sent from my ZTE A2017U using Tapatalk

The latest stable version of Magisk (14.0) works fine for me on LineageOS 14.1 and also passes SafetyNet, so the answer is YES. (But I don't know for certain about Android Pay because I don't use it!)

Great thanks for the info I'm just looking at the guide to install it and I don't understand how to do the bit with stock boot image?

I am not sure what you mean to be honest, where did you see about this? I know when you install LineageOS you have to flash the B15 Universal Bootloader first in TWRP, and you should also flash the Android N modem; both of which are supplied in the Official LineageOS discussion thread. You can then proceed with flashing the ROM and OpenGApps, followed by Magisk 14.0 and anything else you'd like to install before rebooting.

Yea I've actually done all that and got it working with a bit of stress involved it's just this part in the guide for Magisk "However, you MUST have a stock boot image dump beforehand, and also be able to flash the patched boot image, either through fastboot/download mode or ODIN" if you know how to do that bit would be great haha but if not thanks for your help P650E

No worries. I don't think you need to worry about anything like that. The usual procedure is just to download Magisk from the link in the official thread on XDA, copy it to the internal storage on the Axon 7 and then flash it in TWRP. It isn't necessary to do anything else, like the stuff you copied above.

Haha, that's quite alright. Feel free to let me know should you have any further problems with the Axon 7. I'm a new owner but have a lot of experience with previous Android devices such as the LG G4 and OnePlus One.

Ah I know this is a bit fast to be asking about another problem but I just literally found out that I can't make or receive calls on Lineage I can send and receive texts and use data but no calls
Edit: disregard the I figured it out I had it permanently on LTE so I wasn't able to make or receive calls on LTE it seems

Hmm, i'm not sure about that one because I didn't use the phone for making calls when I was running LineageOS on my Axon 7. If you installed the Android N modem before flashing the ROM it should work fine in theory. Maybe you can find someone else in the LineageOS thread who's having the same issue.

Does viper4android through magisk work for you. I keep getting error and then magisk force closes

I also had problems getting Viper4Android to work on this device. For me it would install fine, but the audio effects made no difference in apps like Spotify and YouTube, despite having the deep-buffer fix enabled. Try using this version by ahrion instead, it works for me! (Just make sure you remove anything relating to previous installations of V4A beforehand!)

Hello again, I put the question on the forum but doesn't seem like anyone is answering, do you know the process of going from unofficial lineage to official and should I?

I don't know how much difference it would make, but installing the Official build of LineageOS is probably slightly better. The method of switching from Unofficial to Official is basically the same as what I posted previously in your other discussion thread:
1. Make sure your apps and files from Unofficial LOS are backed-up.
2. Download the Official LOS ROM and copy it to either the internal or expandable SD card storage on the Axon 7.
3. Download the latest GApps arm64 ZIP for Android 7.1 from OpenGapps and copy it to either the internal or expandable SD card storage on the Axon 7.
4. Reboot the phone into TWRP custom recovery.
5. Enter the 'Wipe' menu and wipe the partitions /data, /system, /dalvik and /cache. (It might not be 100% necessary to wipe /data since you're just switching to an official build of the same ROM, but it is still advisable. You could try installing the ROM without wiping /data, but you may encounter some issues!)
6. Switch the the 'Install' menu and flash Official LOS, followed by the OpenGApps ZIP.
7. Reboot the device.

Ready to flash my AXON 7 with Lineage OS 15.1 ... almost.

Man I have read a ton and I am pretty much ready to install my first custom ROM (especially since ZTE seems to be done and thus no more official updates). I have a couple questions though that I was hoping somebody would indulge.
- After installing the latest gapp will I be able to update the apps via the play store properly? I know I had los installed on a tablet back in the day and most of the apps wouldn't update (was never sure if that was my error or by design).
- If there are potential issues that I couldn't live with ... how difficult of a process will it be to return to stock? What traces will there be that I had installed a custom rom at one point in time?
The HTC One M8 was the last phone that I actively maintained custom roms and flashed on a regular basis. I'm a little rusty.
Thank you to whoever takes the time to help me out! Much appreciated!

I've been on 15.1 since release, it's pretty good, still a couple of niggles but mostly good.
Yep GApps update, I installed the Aroma package, I like the pixel launcher and Google dialer etc. All updating fine.
I haven't done this but I believe you download an EDL package and flash that with the EDL tool, should put you straight back to stock.

Thank you for the quick reply!
Yeah using the google dialer and camera app are the ones I am most looking forward to using. I used to use the dialer on my One M8 and I loved it. Have you tried Google Pay? I would assume that as long as I don't root I should be able to use whatever.
I read somebody having trouble with installing Netflix from the play store stating that they got the message that it wasn't compatible with their device. Have you experienced anything like this? I remember running into this from time to time with some past custom roms where the device ID wouldn't show up properly and caused some perceived incompatibility. Do you know what device the AXON 7 shows up as once it has the custom rom installed on it?
Thanks again!

That's a problem from the past. Use Magisk and you'll be fine.
The phone shows as "ZTE Axon 7" and the model will be changed to A2017U. Don't worry, but remember that your phone is still whatever model it was, i.e. keep using whatever modem corresponds
If Netflix doesn't appear just download the apk from somewhere else, but it should appear anyways if you install Magisk and it passes safetynet (after you do, just hit the "check safetynet" button

The quest to get Snapchat working on Weta Rom US996

Im currently unable to use snapchat because they block all root users for no good reason other than being d*ckheads.
Im running on Weta Rom 5.0.7 on the LGV20 US99610h varient with a android security patch of April the 1st 2017.
Ive tried to get Magisk installed because its hide feature seems to be the only known way of getting past Snapchats rootblock,
however when i go to remove SuperSu it fails to uninstall and Magisk cannot be installed without SuperSu being removed.
I have heard of a method of going into twrp removing supersu with a zip, reflashing the stock boot.img and installing magisk, however im no confident right now
on how to find the correct boot.img as i dont want to brick my device.
Does anyone know any work arounds to replace supersu with magisk or block snapchat from detecting root? or do i have to use broken lineage OS with its broken camera drivers to install magisk?
Please help guys, im literally starting to tear my hair out over this, i just want to use a social media app!!!

Use Alpha or Super V20 ROMs and choose Magisk on install .. problem solved.

I try to steer people away from running outdated, unsupported ROMs. A good way to blow up your EFS is to flash Lineage (even an older version) while on old firmware.

To much instant satisfaction in society today, sad state of affairs. If they brick their phone its on them, should have taken the time to read and research before flashing stuff

Considering unlocking and all that. Recommendations?

So, I've had this phone since shortly after launch. I came from a pixel 2 XL after one of my middle school students broke it. I pretty regularly ran custom roms or just a couple modules and root apps here and there. I know you lose fingerprint sensor by installing custom roms, just curious as to what everyone else did? I assume the procedures are all still the same as the pixel 2.

I unlocked yesterday, root and installed a kernel and run OOS Stock Rom. You should do that, if you don't want to loose the FP. Probably I would be trying some ROMs, but not now. I come from a OP3 with Custom ROM.

There's 2 roms we have here that have the fingerprint sensor working, because they're actually Magisk modules that run on top of OOS. Revovation Ice (Only works with stable OOS) and XXX No Limits (works with stable and beta, you can find this one in the OnePlus 6 forum). I'm using Renovation Ice right now, I love it!

Sweet. I actually tried Friday 2 and still have it and it did not go well. Could not figure out what gapps to download, seems like everyone I picked was the wrong one. Had to learn how to put this phone back to stock and was freaking out. Nandroid backup didn't work. Every time I hit reboot system it would put me right back to the same spot, except it was TWRP encrypted, wouldn't reboot. Ended up having to figure out how to get it back to stock and haven't tried it again yet.

Why are you trying to install Gapps? The stock OOS already has them. Renovate Ice runs on top of the stock ROM. Back to Stock is as simple as flashing the latest ROM even with a factory reset(complete wipe). Set up as normal after flashing, then flash Twrp. Install Magisk if you want Root then Renovate Ice. There are guides on how to do all of this.

Havoc rom required then according to the directions. That's the too I tried Friday night. It was a rough night.

Phone corrupt? Simple fix actually. Download the MSM Download Tool, it's here on XDA in the Guides section for some reason. There's the T-Mobile version of the tool if you bought your device from T-Mobile, and the global version of the tool (two separate threads on here) that will reflash the device if you bought from OnePlus directly. Shoot me a message if you need some help, I don't mind at all! [emoji1]
EDIT: Note that this tool formats your device COMPLETELY. You'll lose all your pics and files, but it cleanly installs OOS for you and relocks your bootloader as well.

I downloaded the tool, and have some experience using them but ended up doing the fastboot method . Are they the same thing except one is just via toolkit ?

Well, basically the MSM tool doesn't go through your bootloader. This device has a Qualcomm download mode built in that's an even lower level mode than the bootloader. The MSM tool can restore your device even if it's TOAST (for example, corrupted bootloader or just can't boot to it.). It's easier that fastboot as well! It's a perk of having a OnePlus for sure!

Read the post again. Pretty sure the last update only supports Android 9. My guess is that you've updated to 10.3.4 or 10.3.5

@mwilky lost his Oneplus 6 so he cannot update renovate ice unless you want to buy him a 6/6T

thanks man ill give it a try

So I tried a couple different versions of pie oos & same thing tells me to flash in magisk when in twrp but if i flash in magisk it bootloops. Whats this about a modified magisk? Is it possible you still have it because i cant find a working download link. Thanks I appreciate it

do you maybe still have the files you used for your stock rom & magisk module on your 6t? sorry for asking ive just tried everything possible but the version available will not work for some reason
