can't install openGapps - via flashify, cyanogen recovery ... no way

so I installed cm 13.0 nighlty for d800 (via CMdownloader) - it automatically suggested me that there's new update...
So it went well, but now I want to install opnegapps and it's not workin any way I try it. I granted root permision to flashify but it was unable to load it ( checksum was OK..) and via cyanogenrecovery install update or adb sideload neither - simply nothing. How can I get outta this loop? cause right now it seems I'm pretty unable to install anything but new update and I'm sure that there's a way but I'm not aware of it.

Doesnt the downloader just use you custom recovery to flash the update..... if this so you should be able to manually log into recovery and flash your gapps .......

i dont know if theres a file to do over odin or similar. or if you can download blastagator twrp. 2.8.7.3
as zip

so I extracted opengapps and, and I'll install the .apk files from there

ok I install every .apk from gapps, but google play store is not working though still. I mean there are some folders which does not have anything inside and some does, so do I have to copy at least those with those binaries .ini... or wahtever to folder where I have the .apk files (cause they seem to be kind of dependencies)

Anyone who installed TWRP and rooted on Marshmallow able to update to Nougat?

If so, how? Thanks!

This was totally bugging me too but after a whole day of trying I've finally managed it.
1) Go to this thread here
2) Boot into fastboot and flash the boot.img and system.img as suggested in the thread
3) Also flash the original recovery using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
4) Go to the official asus support site here and download the update files you need, the last two
5) Download Version V11.41.87.2 and place the file in the internal storage of your sd card, once you pull the cable out your phone the phone should detect a update file and ask if you want to install it. Click OK.
6) The phone will unpack the update and reboot and install it
7) Delete this update file and then add the latest Nougat update file (Version V20.31.49.2)
8) Do the same again and install it and there you have it... the key is that you have to install each incremental update rather than go straight to the latest.
Oh and I don't know if it makes any difference, but I decided to turn off adb debugging once I'd flashed the various boot, system and recovery images before I started to update using the Asus method.
Also I have successfully re-flashed TWRP through fastboot on Nougat.
Hope this helps.

worked for me perfectly

Thanks for the instructions; worked for me. Were you able to re-root? I tried to by following this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/zenfone/comments/6gqha5/zenfone_3_ze553kl_z01hd_root/
But on step 8 of the supersu website, my phone gets stuck on "starting adb sideload feature." I had already tried installing supersu via twrp, but still no root.

I flashed TWRP from one of the other threads on here filename twrp-3.1.0-0-Z01H-20170408.img to be precise.
I then flashed the latest version of magisk the zip found here
Then selecting core files only and magisk hide options I have root that passes the latest safetynet checks. No problem.

This worked for me, thanks. It's too bad Xposed doesn't support Nougat yet. Missing my Xposed modules.

Magisk has a few modules for it but nothing like Xposed.
I'm going to do a full back up and then see how well ZenUI plays with Substratum as most of the ZenUI Themes are pretty poor and I want an all black theme. I'll let people know how it goes if anyone is interested in using substratum.

Oh, if you're having trouble getting TWRP to stick don't reboot the system but reboot back into Recovery, by holding the Vol - & Power together and using the Volume buttons to select Recovery.
After this you can then reboot normally.

[Share] TWRP for Huawei Nova 2 Plus

Hi Guys i found TWRP for Nova 2 Plus on club.huawei, it was built by Super_Lin
Download it here
there is Run.bat in the zip run it and it will run the commands for you
i recommend you to run TWRP, without flashing it first, so you can backup stock recovery, dont use run.bat.
hold shift + right click and run command prompt in the folder, but first unlock your bootloader from Huawei,
then run those commands:
1- reboot to fastboot
adb reboot bootloader
2- boot up twrp without replacing stock recovery
fastboot boot twrp.img
3- make a full stock backup in TWRP, and move it to your pc
4- reboot to bootloader again, and run
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
to flash TWRP
Gapps
and for installing gapps, use this app, it will download all
needed apps, make sure to give the all of them permissions so you dont get Force closes
BTW
this TWRP was built for Chinese model, so test on your own, im not responsible for any damages

Root your phone
Download GSMcore from here: https://depositfiles.com/files/y00kfs9ja
Use any root explorer
open " system/priv-app/ " and make folder " GmsCore " then set folder permissions "755"
Then copy Gmscore.apk to " GmsCore " folder and set file permissions " 644 "
Download " emui " file from this link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iPQTJsXm7fhAiEVQ7VtNoomq4esPse1u
Extract it, and copy " emui " folder to " System/ " set permissions " 755 "
reboot to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik
Reboot system
install google apps and check if it works

Does this works for BAC-L03?

TWRP for P580 running Oreo?

Is anyone able to run TWRP on P580 running Oreo?
Im having problems with my Tab stuck on a black screen instead of recovery mode.
Please help.
Thanks!!

I found a solution if you don't need TWRP, only Magisk or Root. (Using sm-p580 german version P580KXU1CRJ7)
Short Version:
Install Magisk without TWRP with odin in AP section(google it)
Problem is: Once booted up it will tell you that you have to reset your device because the system recognizes that you modified something.
Solution: Just click on the reset button( Magisk will still be there afterwards).
Long Version
Flash the Oreo firmware onto your device.
Set it up (turn on USB debugging) (or dont, I believe you dont need it for download mode ?)
Unzip the AP part of the firmware you have flashed. You may need a modified version of 7-zip, I needed it, because it couldn't unzip lz4.
Google mcmilk 7 zip and download the github release (I hope I'm allowed to reference it, CREDIT goes to MILKY)
You need the boot.img.
Now install Magisk Manager apk.
Under its settings check " .img.tar" under "return of patched boot-images" (Something like that, mine is german)
Click on install in Magisk Manager apk.
Select make thing with boot img, use the boot.img you have extracted and copied onto your phone.
Magisk will create new patched boot img automatically, copy the finished one u find under your main storage in downloads to your pc.
Go into download mode and flash new boot.img with odin using the AP tab.
Now do the things I described in the Short Version
Afterwards install Magisk Manager Apk.
You need internet connection, because it will prompt you to allow installing additional stuff.
A message from some Security App will appear, that something is wrong.
And your device will get laggy and restart.
After that the lag will disapear
I like to use Bk disabler to remove bloatware/ other stuff to flash or back up your device
(Please dont remove any of the 3 phone apks, on Nougat it worked to remove two of them, but oreo will continuously give an error message <- I found out that you can uninstall two of them, but dont uninstall the storagedial-programm thats what gives the errormessage.)
Hope it will help you!

Worked !!!
Thank you dear. Its worked for mine in p585 oreo android....
Anyone can search mcmilk 7zip in google and download program to extract boot.img.lz4 and get boot.img :good:

use the last TWRP for Oreo.
old version makes black screen or red stripes.
go in download-mode (power+home+vol-) and install the last TWRP over with Odin.
for Oreo use the last Odin 3.13
it tested, i had the same problem :fingers-crossed:

Latest twrp dose not worked on my device but this solution work fine

I can confirm that this method does work. I used it on my SM-P580 yesterday. I would suggest that you first backup your all of your apps, contacts, photos, etc using SmartSwitch. You will need to restore everything after the tablet tells you that it needs to be reset because it wipes everything. After the restore, you will need to enter all of your accounts and passwords again but at least all of the data will be back.

Im not sure if this post belongs here, you link to the T580 TWRP, not the P580.
Is that one compatible with P580?

It will also show on the Device Maintenance, just ignore the warning.

this works great! thanks!
2 side notes on the process:
1. Magisk no longer provides " .img.tar" patched files, so a tool like "Tar-tool" is required to convert the file from the ".img" type. The patched file should be renamed "boot.img" before conversion in order to be succesfully flashed by Odin.
2. like f4vr said, freeze the apps that give the error notification or just disable the specific notification. Hiding them in Magisk Hider does not seem to work
Cheers, and thanks again for the guide!

Hello Gyus,
I managed to root the device with the method posted by @amosdinh (Thank you so much). Now I'm trying to configure adoptable storage. So far I didn't achieve this goal. ADB commands doesn't work and I can't install the ASPlugin.zip needed by Root Essentials to set adoptable storage by the app.
TWRP for P585 is corrupted, gives blue/red lines screen. The dev that maintains the code is absent since march. I'm out of luck on this. If anyone have a idea to get adoptable storage on this device while using Oreo, please comment.
Thanks!

Just renaming magisk_patched.img to boot.img and adding to .tar file by 7zip worked for me.

We should ask a dev to update twrp for android 8.1

Really wish this wasn't the case. I'd actually keep this thing if it had a working TWRP.

On my SM-P580 I used Odin and TWRP I don't get the black screen but when I reboot to get into TWRP recovery mode it shows the padlock and says swipe to unlock. Tried many times bit cannot swipe and cannot get past this. All I want is to be able to use the SD card as internal storage. HELP???? Thanks!!

thanks in advanced
where can i find stock firmware?

I've just installed magisk using TWRP via command line. P580
I've just installed magisk using TWRP via command line.
Read the entire post before trying this yourself.
I installed the latest TWRP, the one that bugs and doesn't display anything, this allows to root without wiping data. I'm running the latest korean firmware for P580.
Just do this:
1. Launch TWRP and INMEDIATELY LOCK YOUR SCREEN. (I got ghost stripes that disappeared after 2 days when testing this, work with low light so you can notice your screen whenever it tuens on) Please don't forget this point, don't [temporarily] damage your screen as I did.
2. adb push Magisk-v[Current version].zip external_sd
3. adb shell
4. twrp install external_sd/Magisk-v[Current version].zip
After this you just need to install MagiskManager-v[Current version].apk and you will be all done.
But there is one thing...
If you ever get into recovery mode, there is no way out without using adb as far as I know. You can launch download mode and cancel it but you'll boot back to TWRP.
When in twrp touching your screen or any button will wake the device up and will start burning the ghost image to your screen.
So if you know of a method for rebooting to system without using adb, please let me know.
Also a solution for this would be to flash back the stock recovery, wich may or may not force to wipe system, that something that needs to be tested tho.
Update: Ok so, you can use a handy tool called MTKroot on recovery.img.lz4 to get recovery.img, then use 7z to pack it into a tar file and flash that tar file with odin (AP, same as TWRP)
This way you will not have a 0.001% chance of random boot into recovery mode and damage your screen

Hi! Turn on advanced mode and go back to the main page of Oxygen Updater, there should be a download update bar at the bottom of the screen click on that and ur ROM zip file will start downloading.

This is what I got after enabling advanced and full

If I can just get that ota zip, I'll be good.

Heya try reinstalling Oxygen Updater and enable advanced mode in settings and select full update option then the download option should show. It worked for me!

I just did it. Absolutely nothing different

You'll have to wait for the 11.0.2.3 update, which is the latest. OP sends it in waves, mine arrived yesterday.

Well damn

yeah I cant get the download option on Oxygen either. Tried unisntalling/installing app but no go

So I buy a phone specifically to have more freedom to mod, i have my bootloader unlocked and I can't even root my **** bc a Pos phone company is choosing to not give me the new firmware but others get it. This is so cool.

I think you can use the oxygen updater app to get the latest firmware.

It's good that you got it on your own but please be respectful to this guide. It has helped a lot of people.

How do we handle ota updates in future if we root with this method? How can we flash the new updates without twrp?

When you update, after downloading and installing new update before rebooting go to magisk manager and install magisk use the inactive slot option. Reboot still rooted.

If you can't get your rom to extract your boot, I used the semi-broke twrp method mentioned in another rooting thread here on xda. Just make sure you use the modded magisk manager listed in thread to patch your boot, it's called the "debug apk". I spent a couple hours trying to use reg magisk manager 8.0.2 and don't work.

Bruh I'm from India and we get the updates pretty fast here and for ur kind information we also get pretty fast updates on Oxygen Updater too. Ur twrp method is pretty good too, If I will update the thread with ur method included it would be a pretty big thread ?.

I have follow the whole guide, step by stp (TWRP method) and now Im in a bootloop... How can i fix it ?
I patched the Boot_a.img with magisk.
Should i try the boot_b ?
