Pretty good instructions? I'm dancing around threads all over. I can't seem to get twrp onto a lollipop build. If I have twrp installed and try to manually go to LP from kk I get a bootloop the last few tries. If I have lp installed I can't seem to get autorec to respond, no matter which cfsu.
@blastagator:
Can you possibly list your steps for cwm and working magisk on your d800? Maybe I need to wipe all but internal, install lp bootstack in twrp-updated to one of your newer versions, install cwm? Is it clean from there to magisk and phhsu, magisk hide, phhapp? Will I need bumpboot ever for this?

I do not use CWM, so I can't help you with that.
Basic Sequence (assuming starting from completely stock):
Use your favorite rooting tool - OneClick Root still works (I think)
Then install AutoRec (appropriate version for your ROM)
That gets you TWRP - boot TWRP with the key combo
Flash newest TWRP - reboot recovery
Flash bootstack to match new ROM (LP for LP or MM)
Advanced wipe, wipe /data, /system, /cache, /sd, /dalvik
Reboot Recovery
Copy new ROM to phone
Install new ROM
Reboot phone, profit
for magisk, flash magisk zip and then flash boot bump zip
IMPORTANT: If ROM has built-in su (like CM13 DOES) you need to delete that from the device.
I'd recommend deleting these BEFORE installing magisk (but I don't know if it actually matters)
For CM13, enable root in the developer menu
use your favorite console app
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm /system/xbin/su
rm /system/bin/su
Some ROMs might have an su file in /sbin and you might need to remount / as rw to remove that. For CM13 it is just those two files.

Ahh cm is just the recovery not the rom, you use it and not twrp? The newest twrp for g2d800 is yours...twrp-d800-bump-blastagator?? What rom do you use? Will I be able to transfer files to the phone after wiping? I guess it stays in recovery after a wipe...just not used to that I guess.
Get twrp, flash bootstack...from you, wipe all, push my rom, flash rom, boot to phone. Experience my first ever custom os for a bit....Remove su with adb, boot to recovery, magisk, bump, phhsu zip, boot to phone. Install magisk 2.1, enable hide, reboot, phhsu app, ???, profit.
1. How can I thank ALL your posts ever?
2. Cwm nightly is the rom, the other is the recovery?

Recovery lives in /recovery partition, so I guess I should clarify, don't wipe EVERYTHING, lol. I can't remember if I enabled ability to wipe recovery, DONT DO THAT :silly:
edit: Advanced wipe, wipe /data, /system, /cache, /sd, /dalvik
But, as for everything else, recovery will live through wiping /system /data, etc. You need to backup anything you want to save though. Wipe will destroy everything.
Other than that, you pretty much got the rest.
edit 2: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d800
See image for ROM vs CM Recovery.
CWM = Clockwork Mod (a different recovery)
CM = CyanogenMod (a ROM)

@blastagator:
Haha I may have noticed that during the process. The bumpbootv1.0 is the one to use for even these newer methods?? That was what q2 really was supposed to be. I keep mentioning you because I assume it helps you see my posts, I assume your pretty busy. Some of those posts and files are rom when the g2 was almost new lol thanks seriously for getting back so fast I wish I could help this community more but I'm a skid
EDIT: awesome, I have to run all Internet functions off of the sprint lte network and was downloading one of those behemoths during that posts....that let's me know my efforts aren't in vain

Please read my edits and don't kill your phone. I am not always so timely in my responses :good:
Other than that, good luck!
There are tons of posts that go into more detail about what I wrote. Just make sure you have a plan before you do it. Think: Measure twice, cut once.
This g2 I found service locked while cleaning out a rental property. I have a galaxy s5 stupid sprint for my primary. I use the g2 for...well everything game and other related. until my Hotspot mod on my galaxy suddenly stopped working on lp. I blame the man
Äptiva is the one I read about a gutted 802 into an 800 or something, got you guys confused!!
@blastagator
Didn't work...steps followed what OS do you use? Do you use you d80030b or something else? No sn or pgo
If I update autorec twrp to your 3.0.2-1 will it hold through a manual FOTA update to 5.0? I use GPS system app for location. Is it possible moving to system then unrooting causes these bootloops and such? My g2 passes sn but I cm and gApps is causing issues? Logged into sc, pass sn, no pgo

CM13.
If you're trying to get safety net to work, you have to enable magisk hide (in the magisk app)
Also, if you're using xposed, you can't use safety net.
@blastagator
Yeah done and done. Only things I can figure is installed the application side of phh su last, and gaps after being phh rooted.? I'm gonna check for su files with es here shortly. Safety net passes, snapchat works, just not pgo
Enabled hide after installing application and got root access when ticking hide. Literally the only thing that won't work is pgo, haven't tried android pay yet
No xposed I bought a way around that, not causing the issue because I haven't installed it on the d800

If the safety net test app passes, it should be working. perhaps downgrade your pogo a version or two, maybe they added something else.
Well, it's on a WiFi only, no SIM device...
I'm thinking this is the issue I'm experiencing now. Which may stem from an update. An older apk is a good idea, I was able to log on with magisk v6 a bit a go and when magisk 7 and 8 first came out I could.
For some reason everything I flash through TWRP is being reverted after rebooting. I'm currently rooted with unlocked BL and disabled the write protection for system. This seem to have worked since I am able to modify the system through a file manager, Adaway on the other hand can't modify the system partition.
Furthermore, I added a file to the system partition through the TWRP file manager and this is persistant after boot
The zip file I tried to flash was the official xposed zip and from what I read in the forum it's working for other users withut problem.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Adaway,System partition.

I got adaway working no but I don't know what exactly made it working since I tried a lot of things.
Could be indeed a bug, but why does it work for others?
Adaway,System partition.Android OS more sercure
Not sure,why. Granted adaway storage permission and still not working. Gonna try DrakenFX Rom,Z.A.D.Mix7,and see if adaway works there. Suspicion that android OS is locking down somewhat. The OS is making the user take more steps permission wise for sure.
Got it working now but I'm not sure what actually solved the problem.
I managed to screw up my system partition and had to use the repair Filesystem option in TWRP in order to be able to restore a backup of the system partition. After that everything I flashed in the recovery became persistent.
I restored backups before and it didn't solve my problem so it might be because of the repair Filesystem option?
Don't think so but who knows :laugh:
I am looking to gain root on my new G5 Plus that I just purchased today. I was able to unlock the bootloader. I am looking to try to avoid modifying anything in /system (something that TWRP does by default if I'm not mistaken) and would like to gain root access.
I am unable to do this in TWRP because it is not able to read the internal storage.
I am not able to do this through Magisk because I am not able to find the default boot.img file for patching.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
download the stock rom, and get boot.img file from it.
I got this to work by booting into TWRP, leaving the system read-only, and then flashing Magisk followed by Elemental X 2.02.
Also I used ADB sideload since the internal storage will not mount without formatting the data in TWRP.
Taking OTAs should be super easy by just reflashing the stock boot image.
I'm following the topjohnwu's guide on how to update with Magisk but I do not find it clear enough. Are these the steps I need to take in order to not-brick and update my phone with the Feb update.
1. Uninstall Magisk by "restore images" option.
2. Install OTA
3. Reboot to reinstall Magisk on second slot
Magisk is NOT installed on the second partition! And I prefer not to flash back the original image just to do that. My system should be read only and I do not have twrp, I never had, I updated my Google services framework from apkmirror and I got the update, now how do I apply it without soft bricking?
Update
Step 2 failed, "installation problem". Wtf do I do in order not to lose Magisk or data?
Edit
I've uninstalled Magisk but haven't restarted, hoping to get a solution where I keep my sh*t since that's what the guide said...
Edit 2
I'm reading the other thread but I'm having trouble finding a single useful information there, quote one if you find it, it might be my autism that I don't see a solution in that three pages long thread. Tell me I need to MiFlash this sh*t so I calmly jump through my window instead of wasting the whole night on making it work, then wasting another day on backing my sh*t up.
Edit 3
Fully uninstalled Magisk by instructions of an indian guide. BOOTLOOP.
Note to self, stop following southern asian guides.
Downloaded ROM and MiFlash, flashed flash_all_except_storage.bat.
Shook for 4 minutes until "success" mark, successful reboot.
Edit 4:
follow the regular magisk flash guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/help/how-to-root-mi-a1-february-ota-update-t3757934
If you got into bootloop after Magisk uninstallation, you did modify system partition at some point. This is also the reason why you couldn't install OTA. Magisk OTA update guide works perfectly fine for unaltered system partition.

That's what I figured, but how? I just did exactly everything I did before the OTA attempt, I just installed few modules and touched nothing else. At which point could've I touched system partition?
So I'm reading now that apps can still alter /system with the Magisk root perm, so, I what about one of these apps.
1. Does anyone know if they can mess with the system?
BusyBox
Greenify
Lucky patcher (this c*nt is my main suspect)
Titanium backup
2. Can we somehow make sure that we haven't touched the system partition before OTA attempt?
3. Once I've redone everything (flash Rom without storage, install OTA, install Magisk), my system shouldn't be touched now, right?

Please keep in mind that Magisk is 2in1 package. First of all it provides root access, any app with root access can modify system directly. Second feature are systemless modifications, but you must follow defined rules to make them work.
From your list of apps, BusyBox would be my first suspect. You must use Magisk BusyBox module, the standard BusyBox is installed directly to the system partition. Lucky app might be the culprit too, though it depends on which features exactly did you use.
Yes, once you reflash stock ROM, apply OTA and install Magisk (the correct way), you're system partition will be ready for the next OTA.
Someone mentioned one command which could verify the last modification date of any partition, but can't find it right now.

Don't bother trying to find it, it exists, I'll make a dedicated thread at some point, thanks for the answer, BusyBox seems logical.
The correct way to install Magisk? I just flash Ranjit's patched img from the official thread on Magisk root, that should be the correct way.
I just use lucky to patch cirtain apps, so that shouldn't be a problem
Right now, I'm giving Magisk root perm to Greenify, Lucky Patcher and Unified Hosts. Also both Greenify and the Unified hosts adblock have their own modules in magisk.
Hopefully I still haven't touched my system partition.
I encountered the error as well after trying the Pixel OTA method. To flash the update successfully, I flashed stock January system and boot img via fastboot and it updated properly after. Then I just patched the stock Feb boot img and went back to fastboot. Once there, i did the fastboot boot command with the patched Feb boot.img so I got root back after updating.

HI,
I have a redmi5+ rooted. I use luckypatcher (i applied some patchs to some apps) and i have installed once BusyBox (didn't do anything in special).
I want to know if it is secure to flash the full update?
PS: how do I confirm if the system files and vendor are ok to proceed?
Thanks
cant you flash the ota in twrp and then reflash magisk if needed?

Yes, I can do that.
I Know the procedure to flash full zip file via TWRP. Via this toturial: youtube.com/watch?v=oUUzxYHV_ac&t=1s&index=11&list=WL
But i want to know if it is secure to flash, because i used these two applications.
Hello everyone.
I've been trying to find an answer, but everyone only asked if they can relock while having magisk installed. So my approach is a bit different.
What is I install magisk to remove some preinstalled apps (stock rom), and then remove magisk, flash the original boot.img and relock the bootloader ?
Is this going to work?
A little context:
I installed lineageos on my redmi 7a and it's really great and i wish i could keep it, but there's just one problem.... My banking app (unicredit) crashes on attempting to login.
I suppose there's no choice but to return to stock rom and locked bootloader.
Except i had a problem with the stock rom. I think it was spamming the read-only partitions with some caches and ended up filling the storage. I didn't even have a lot of apps installed and tried to empty some caches but it made no difference. So that's why i wanted to move to a custom rom, there was lots more free space that way. And yes i know about the user-level uninstalling of apps via adb but i wanted to free up more space by removing them from the system image, thus the need for root. But then when I'm done i want to remove root and relock the bootloader so this damn banking app could work.
About the banking app, have tried installing gapps and then hiding magisk ?
