Magisk and V4A help

I cannot seem to make any configuration of V4A and Magisk to work. I've tried different versions of module and app and can't figure it out.

I finally got mine to work after flashing the attached file and then running the script from this post:

Can you detail what beta version of magisk you are using and how you got there?
My magisk was working on latest beta up until the last version just posted.
Installing that latest beta broke everything for me, and now even a fresh install of 5 past beta's does not result in working magisk for me. (Mainly no root activation..).
Can you offer any advice?

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.

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?

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?!?)

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.

My LG G5 (H850) and me - My experience and advice

Dear friends,
Here is what I found after one full year of using this device. This is not intended to be used as installation guide. Please reffer ro appropriate thread for that.
One confession: I'm a flashoholic.
- It has a great camera setup. The images are rarely rivaled even by Galaxy S8+
- Removable battery!
- It has 3 main issues: LCD ghosting/burn-in, GPS connectivity and erratic fast-charging.
These issues made this great phone dirt cheap. Luckily ghosting and fast-charging are software issues (or software fixable issues) and GPS can be fixed.
ROMs:
Marshmallow stock is blazing fast. I'm actually using it now after having tried all other, including Oreo. Fast-charging has not issues here and the ghosting can be fixed by using sFilter Lite. Just set it to black, 10% (you'll get it)
Nougat stock is the slowest I've used. Battery hungry too. It also features notification delay which was unacceptable for me. Nougat introduced the fast-charging issues on some G5s. If you like Nougat, go for Fulmics 5.5 (thank you @xpirt) or H-Rom H30 Port 3.0 (thank you @Astrako). These are beautiful and great. Also, don't forget to flash mk2000 1.5.5 kernel (thank you @askermk2000). It will fix the fast-charging and enable you to use Kernel Adiutor to set Screen to 238 R/G/B to fix ghosting without overlay (sFilter).
Lineage 14.1 is the most stable of all the LOS/RR family. The only problem for me is the camera. You can install GCam port, but it will not use the Laser Autofocus which was to much of a compromise.
Lineage 15.1 and RR 6.2.1 are feature packed and fast but with small niggles might bother you. Make sure you flash these with Nougat bootloader as it will not boot with stock Oreo bootloader. Note that this may soon change.
Oreo stock fixed fast-charging again and restored some of the speed and battery life Nougat lost, but it is not as fast as Marshmallow and, for me at least, it has notification lag issues. I have 7 e-mail accounts and I can't have this. Make sure you install mk2000 2.0 (check for latest) for ghosting fix. Also, try the amazing new H-Rom.
Check out the thread about GPS Issues to demystify them... or just squezze the top right of the phone when you need GPS.
I'm happy with my LG G5. It is trully an amazing device!
Waiting to see how the Project Treble will work out.
That's it from me for now.

Hold up.. How do you remove ghosting with mk2000 kernal..
Otherwise great little review

Mk2000 kernel supports color calibration. You then just need an app to tune the kernel, such as Kernel Adiutor, to set the RGB values and remove ghosting.

Just set R/G/B to 238 in Screen section of Kernel Adiutor. Ghosting will be gone.

It took me a year to find and test everything. That's why I decided to share.

thanks for the tip, i never experienced MM as bought the phone around 6 months back, but for me oreo is very snappy and smooth
the 2 negatives for me are: -
1. GPS, we all know the troubles with it, weirdly oreo helped, but its only decent outside, inside forget it..
2, fingerprint scanning, dont use it now..back on 7.0 it sometimes worked..but more often than not i would get an error saying not working or something,
now on 8.0, i cant register a print, get an error about enrolment...i just stick to pincode so its not a problem

1. I am using my H850 for 2 years and have seen burn-in only for one single day (about half year ago), after that it just vanished an I have never seen ghosting anymore. My brightness is always set to 100% and I have never used any color filters or custom kernels with color calibration features on my Fulmics 4.5 (exactly 4.5 version, because I am too lazy to update it and it works just good, but I don't say that new versions is bad).
2. never had any problems with stock Qualcomm fast charging on Nougat. Speed of charging is the same as speed of Power Delivery for iphone 8. Don't understand what are you talking about, guys...
3. there is very laggy expanding and scrolling in notifications list on Nougat ROMs. Yeah, it is true.
4. russy23, my fingerprint scanner successfully scans in 99 cases of 100. G5 has not the fastest scanner on the market, but it is very accurate. But maybe it is just my skill, because I am using smartphones with back-mounted fingerprint scanners since 2014
5. can't say anything about GPS, I don't need 1 meter accuracy, so GPS on my G5 just works when I call a taxi and that's fine

You need to flash mk2000 kernel. I suggest version 1.5.5
Reboot to TWRP, flash mk2000 and wipe cache/dalvik, reboot and you will have Screen in Kernel Adiutor

That's strange. Make sure you have the latest TWRP 3.2.3.1 as you are on stock Nougat, not LOS based rom. Also, try redownloading the file. Maybe it is corrupt.

Strange indeed. I didn't have any issues even with encrypted stock and believe me, I flashed a lot. I'll look into it.
Edit: Some people report issues with Magisk, bu you are on SuperSu.
If you don't like experimenting with instaling Magisk (removing SuperSu), then you can install sFilter Lite and enjoy. See above for details.

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

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
