Hello I recently purchased a ZenFone Max Pro M1 (ZB602KL) for work, updated it with the latest official release and noticed that a feature I was looking forward to use is missing/NA the "multi-user", apparently Asus doesn't think it's worthy, unlike the bloatware they made sure to include. Q: Is it possible to unlock the "multi-user" feature by doing something similar in this thread? And if so will I be able to unlock the bootloader (unofficially) -> root -> make the changes needed -> "unroot" -> relock the bootloader, keeping the feature and still be able to get official updates OTA? Thanks.
...I ended up flashing lineage. (a big thanks to the maintainer and everyone else that worked/works on this device)

Hi all, I wait like all of you the Oreo update, but with this, a little new question brings up in my mind... So, the root?
Yeah, I don't know how it works properly but in previous cases on other devices (always Sony and not) when I update the android version, the root disappear. Or am I wrong?
Btw the real problem is, in positive case, WHO will do it?
Because the developer who create it, like the recovery, for 7.0 (Janjan) has close the project... At this point it is right to update a rooted system and lost root?
Talk about.
Janjan hasn't closed it. He stated in his thread that he plans on releasing updates for Oreo
So always root and recovery? Or directly a rom?
He stated wait for Oreo, then he will get out recovery, and kernel. Then all u have to do is flash SuperSU or magistik. No custom roms from him as he doesn't have phone anymore.
Perfect! Rightly I think he need it too :highfive:
Thank you man!
I'm on stock android version 8.1.0 with FEB 1,2019 security patch level
Build number - OPM1.WW_Phone-15.2015.1902.340-20190216
I've not updated my device to latest update available as it have too much bugs, i'll never update in future too unless its better than oreo stable one
I want to enable camera2api in my device to use
On googling how to do it, many results came but few are too old when the device was launched or for pie, i can't get video/instruction for oreo 8.1.0 version on which my device is.
If anyone knows how to do it safely without any risk on MY version of android, PLEASE HELP/REPLY ASAP !!!!!
P.S - i want to enable it without unloacking bootloader or messing up the OTAs or messing up with system except enabling camera2api
Try the fastboot command to enable cam2api since you are still on Oreo (Search the forum, the credit should go to @shakalaca ).
If it doesn't work then you will need root access.
Hi,
I got a Nokia X6 TA-1099 in September 2018, with Custom Oreo Rom (locked!) and rooted.
I unlocked it, loaded the Global Oreo one for Nokia 6.1 Plus few months ago and prompted to upgrade to Pie 3.45 right after. Once I did it, I noticed screen issues (much large screens, going out of the edges basically). One of the members of this forum told me that this happens when the SKUID is CN instead of WW. I checked and mine was CN. The phone is also recognised as TA-1103 now.
since I need a locked phone for banking, certified etc... I downgraded to Oreo Security Patch August 2018 and locked the phone "forever". I then disabled the automatic updates.
do you know if newer releases of Pie (like V3.54H which I am prompted about) will "fit" my screen properly even though I have SKUID CN? Or shall I just wait for Android Q that perhaps does not have this issue?
I am worried I will need to downgrade and I won't be able to do it anymore.
Thanks!
The SKUID will always trouble you. Because starting with Pie. parts of the OS rely on the SKU to enable/disable certain services. You're better off with either of the two:
1. Be on CN ROM and keep your CN SKUID.
2. Be on WW ROM but change your SKUID to WW.
3. Stay on Oreo (bonus lol)
The broken Status bar will continue to bug you when on Pie with CN SKUID. Also, some system features will remain missing/broken, including double-tap to wake.
Hi
Can I change the SKUID to WW now that I am on Oreo 8.1 August 2018 patch?
I am not finding any info to confirm this, but I appears that Nokia is now allowing unlock.
I would like to:
- change SKUID to WW
- relock
- upgrade to Pie and follow all the future automatic updates
Do you think this is possible?
Thanks for your help as always.
Nokia does not allow unlock. You will need to resort to the paid methods.

Please can you send me some links so I can proceed accordingly?

Is it possiable that i still need CN SKUID(for my wifi and signal) but with Lineage OS experience?
i really enjoy the Lineage OS or Evolution X or Resurrection-Remix, but i cant find the CN version ROMs like this....
Hello everyone,
Xiaomi is not bothered to update Redmi 3S Prime and its still stuck on old version of android and security patch. I'm preparing for examination and I mostly download pdf from online and need split window feature in order to keep both tabs open to see the answers while studying. So since Redmi 3S Prime is stuck on Marshmallow, it does not have split screen option. So I want to update my phone to at least stable Nougat ROM which can also support Banking apps. Its okay if it doesn't have root but just need a stable Rom with minimum glitches. I know there are tons and tons of customized ROM available and I did tried couple of them and all turned out to be unstable and most of them have issues with Banking applications. I haven't kept myself updated with this sub cause I never had that urge to update phone's software but now situation demands me to update phone, so need your expert guidance in updating phone with minimal hassle. Thanks.

I'll suggest Lineage OS by nichcream,
Although you should try other roms too on your own.
banking apps work in every ROM
follow these:-
1. use magisk hide if ur device is rooted
2. disable phone permission to google play services by going into app info
now, u r good to go. peace out!
Lineage os by nichcream is perfect for your needs.....without magisk hide all bank apps work....
And google pay which doesnt work in many roms also works in this out of the box....go for nichcream rom
Performance is not that good but everything works

Hello! I've modded already some devices, but I never got in my hands a device that lived so long.
Since I cannot find any infos about using latest Magisk on a such old device and I don't want to mess it up, I wanted to ask here some questions.
First: generally, is ok to use a recent version of Magisk on every device, or there are some devices with some kind of differences that needs a "custom" or "specific" version of Magisk?
Second: is ok to use directly the Releases on https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases ? I saw that this is the only official way to get it and that magiskmanager is not a related site.
Third: any advices on modding the P8 Lite 2015?
Model runs MIUI 4.0.3 and it's on Android 6. It's the single-sim version.
I already have TWRP working and phone is factory-reset. Yes, I had access to my unlock code, so it was pretty painless to unlock it.
It needs to be fully functional, so I cannot use custom ROMs (it seems like all have problems with YouTube and/or Camera). If there are some advices here, I'm free to listen.
I was planning on installing Magisk (root, generally) to uninstall Huawei crap plus a better control over kernel, if there is any on this device.
