Side loaded OTA via ADB all works fine no issues so far no FC can't say much difference

Seems like for now, most UI and user facing changes in general are hidden behind flags, this one is meant for the devs, so it's to be expected. The beta, on the other end, will be aimed at users, and then we will see what changes

I upgraded last night. Had to reboot twice after restart. Then everything was stable. First time it rebooted after install, nothing seemed to want to work and kept FCing. Second reboot, everything is fine now. Sometimes, Nova needs to be indicated when I press the home button that it's default, otherwise, everything is working fine.
Is it me or does the Android version still say 11 but the build is "S"?

I downloaded the 12 DP1... and it just isn't ready yet (understandably so) for the daily driver use I need.f
Rooting it requires disable verity and verification. You'll need magisk 23 or canary to patch boot.img as well. Not disabling verity/verification, it will only boot back into fastboot and list the reason as something like, "unable to load boot image".
Once rooted, I moved on to installing edxposed --- using riru, riru edxposed, and edxposed manager. Everything installs without problems. Final reboot, and reboots as normal. But then about 90 seconds later, you'll start getting FC after FC after FC. All apps too, and background apps, and systemui, etc.
Removing the riru components and edxposed manager, doesn't correct this problem.
Did fresh format and reinstall of the DP1... rooted again... and then tried Viper4Android. I use a very simple version. You just flash it, and its done (no manual driver install either). Rather than the 3 reboot, AML, driver install, etc.
V4A installs with good logs. Reboots without a hitch. But I noticed the v4a icon in the status bar is missing. I open it up manually, and start getting freezes and fc's. Within 5 minutes, I get kernel panic reboots -- and non-bootloop freezes on the working G screen.
Reboot manually with long press power, get it loaded back up and immediately remove V4A. Reboot and now I'm back to stock.
Get FC's every hour or two. Random reboots too. Battery life is struggling.
I decided to wait until a better version drops, perhaps the beta or at least a DP2.5 or 3.0. As of right now, having Android S is mostly just a status thing -- to show people how cool we are to have access to it as such an early stage. But unless you are dedicated to helping improve the ROM through daily use and reporting... I highly recommend that you stick with Android R.

Just flashed the 1st public android 12 beta bramble-ota-spb1.210331.013-3c294b13.zip with adb sideload. Listed as android S atm, surprised 5G was enabled as this wasn`t the case with android 11 in the Netherlands. All apps working fine so far and still finding out the new stuff.

Has anyone been able to root the Pixel 4a 5G with Android 12 Beta 1?.
Kindly share the steps.

[Guide] Flash Magisk on Android 12
Trying to root the Pixel 5 running Android 12 by flashing a magisk-patched boot image results in the phone only booting to fastboot mode ("failed to load/verify boot images") Some users have reported that booting (instead of flashing) the patched...

DP4 with Magisk = System UI strange beheavior

** Resolved: Please see post #9 below by @henderjr for a solution and don't forget to thank @henderjr!
--------------------------
Just downloaded DP4 and dirty flashed from DP3 (remove -w), everything looks normal....
Then I install Magisk 16.4 with TWRP (boot only), when I go back to system, System UI just crash continuously...
Also, even with 89% battery, the system still complain "battery low" (with message say the battery will last until tomorrow morning 7 o'clock, which is 19 hrs later! ha ha !)
When swipe down the notification area, the upper part of screen become dark... looks like UI glitch..
Anyone have same issue like this?
(Maybe I should factory reset, but I see somewhere that contact will not sync... So now stuck in the middle...)
Same issues here. And with random reboots also.
That's weird.
I clean flashed from Android 8 and haven't had any SystemUI issues.
I also use Substratum and haven't had any issues.
I've only been running it for a couple of hours, I'll report back if anything changes.
Edit: I'd suggest a clean flash, though. Stuff seems REALLY bugged lol.
For me started failing after a reboot. The first moment I got into the system, UI was broken
Tried factory reset also. Same problem after reboot
Same here (((
It seems we really need update of Magisk. @topjohnwu while your country need you, we also need you!
Even before flashing magsik CTS profile is false.
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using XDA Labs
Has anyone confirmed this happens only after flashing Magisk? I'm currently trying to reproduce all the other steps (restore apps, config, etc) just to be sure who is guilty
Edit: well, I can't reproduce it. So everything seems to be pointing Magisk as the guilty

I had the same exact behavior yesterday. If you're still running the magisk module "[APP] 18. Feb ◦ Edge Sense Plus 1.22.0 ◦ Customize Active Edge on your Pixel 2 XL" it will cause SystemUI to behave strange and show the battery saver icon. Disable the module until it gets updated.
Mine was working normally on DP4, Substratum, Magisk...only had the ctsProfile false problems others are having.
Often upon flashing, especially dirty flashing any Rom, when opening Magisk it would force close. Found by just reinstalling the Magisk.apk it would work again.
But, since Google Pay is failing with the ctsprofile false problem, I've rolled back to DP3 for now and all is good.
No issues for me either. I dirty flashed and installed Magisk 16.4 and no issues at all besides the SafetyNet issue.

So I booted into TWRP 3.2.2-0-taimen on DP4, still can't decrypt,. Tried using ADB sideload with Magisk 16.4 zip anyway, looks like it works. Then I try rebooting and it never starts.

Turn off your screen lock and you won't have to worry about TWRP not decrypting (settings > security & location > screen lock > none). Turn your screen lock back on after you've completed the flash.

I've tried both ways, same issue. Twice now I've had to flash DP4 again (without -w) because it gets stuck in a bootloop. Is there something I might be missing?

Since you flashed Magisk without decrypt data, it's highly likely that the data partition maybe damaged. Just flash-all with -w (don't remove -w) and your phone should boot... Anyway I think your data is already gone the moment you flashed Magisk without decryption...

magisk + xposed problem

Hi all,
I have installed Magisk 16.0 based on Maik93's post, and Xposed Framework SDK27 90.2-beta3 (Systemless), through Magisk modules.
When I enable the Xposed module, the phone first shows endless boot animation, and when restarting it again, it boots, but the Xposed app seems not installed (not listed in Settings->Apps and its icon is not present in chooser), although, in Magisk, it is visible in the Modules and it's checkbox is checked.
Did anybody successfully installed Xposed with A2 Lite? What can be the problem?
Thanks a lot,
Circum
Did you install the apk of xposed?

https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4393082&d=1516301692
Here is the link from xda
No, sorry, I was not aware that it is a separate thing.
Now I have installed, but it says that no Xposed Framework is installed. If I try to install a framework from inside the installer (90-beta3), it -- obviously -- reports an error that /system/framework/XposedBridge.jar already exist...
Because of this, I cannot enable any module from Xposed Installer.
Any tips what do I do wrong?
I want to use Xposed too but we will have to wait for TWRP I guess.
Not sure what happened to you, did you tried ti reboot your phone? Mine is working just fine

I was able to install it somehow,but stuck after each reboot in process. Now some apps are diying like call enhancement and some test app. So its quite dirty. I have Magist 16.0 installed.

Not all are working apparently, but if it is bootloop, you so try to let it boot again, press power and volume down as the same time while it bootloop, the second boot always work for me
There is TWRP for Mi A2 Lite.
Search on google.
NOTICE: For now there isn't official TWRP. There'w unofficiak fork which can you install using fastboot. :good:
Not sure what happened, AFAIK I have rebooted the phone at least once, but after rebooting again, it said that the framework is installed, but has some problem with it and not functioning (yellow background, sorry, I forgot to take a screenshot), and rebooting once again solved the problem, I can confirm that Xposed works.
But as others mentioned, installing Magisk itself makes problems with the boot. Booting always stucks, I always needed (even before installing Xposed) to long-press power after several minutes and the second try usually boots up.
Now having Magisk and Xposed (and GravityBox) installed usally need to restart booting twice (i.e., the 3rd boot works).
Any suggestions how to debug / get logs about this problem?

Xposed's Gravity box module works on Mi A2 lite?
Yes, GravityBox is working, although as I mentioned, there are issues with boot - I have to reboot several times until it succeeds...
performace drops significantly when i install the xposed module for magisk. i hope they fix it.
So far everything works fine on my end, I'm not noticing any performance drops in my day to day use. Then again I haven't used it much without Magisk + exposed but from what i'm seeing it's working well, no noticeable lag or stuttering.
I have gravity box, Amplify and Greenify modules running.

Magisk No root prompts

^title, I haven't done anything new and all of the sudden today my magisksu will not prompt when apps request root with the log only saying superuser denied. I googled it and found posts dating back to 2017 about issues with this (which seems to happen 100% of the time when I have issues). I've done the fixes people said worked for them (turning off adaptive battery, repackaging magisk manager, rolling back to older magisk, taking magisk manager off the optimizing battery list, installing some adb fastboot ndk module thing, reinstalling magisk, full uninstall and reinstall, reflashing /boot /system and /vendor back to factory image stock.) and no luck. Has anyone else fixed this without a factory reset/reflash? Also at the same time this issue popped up I'm also having a really annoying time getting apps to install from the play store, it'll download say for instance 2.50 MB/2.50 MB 100% and just sit there for literally minutes before the app randomly says it's installed after the screen blacks out.
Oh also I'm getting no errors at all in the magisk log even entry is an informative.
Update: I was able to get solidexplorer to request root successfully but it literally too 3 minutes of waiting for the prompt to appear. I'm also getting errors in the log "write failed with 32: broken pipe" which I also saw in that forum post from 2017.

Can you be specific?

I don't have "adwares" but I have the same issue too. Surprisingly it persists when I reverted to last known good version. Which makes everything strange.
I could not afford a clean format at the moment. But until I have the time to do it (and hopefully it goes away), any suggestions to solve this would be extremely appreciated.
I am not using Pixel 3, but I use Nokia 6. Someone told me that it's a common Nokia issue, but being brought here at a very different device forum kind of prove a point that this is a bug that has to do with Magisk, and not Nokia-specific (or device-specific as for this case (maybe)) issue.

The page didnt help with my issue unfortunately
-------------------------------
I managed to solve my issue by actually formatting everything (including data). Painful 2 hrs for me lel. Now on 6.1 Manager and 7.3 Magisk and everything works as it should.
Since I formatted data, the issue may have something to do with magisk's leftover files.
Still, the problem with 18.x and 7.0 manager will always happen if i update. Fun fact: if you play around the root settings in Magisk Mgr, you may have a luck and the root prompt will appear. Unfortunately, the root prompt will only appear for the current boot. If you reboot, the problem is there again. Use this window of freedom to grant root to your apps.

Just a thought and maybe you do it but after each update instead of just directly rerooting, run the magisk uninstaller first.
Flash update
Reboot
Boot back to bootloader
Install TWRP, your phones method
Flash Magisk uninstaller.zip
Flash custom kernel if applicable
Flash magisk.zip
Reboot

Already did that too my friend. But never mind. I am done for

Global Stable 11.0.3.0 Android 10

Global Update is there.
For those who installed it already, give us some feedback.. and one question, should factory rested be done before or after installing update? What is better, because i never did reset before, just apply update, but now would like to do reset also..
Works fine without reset. Smartphone was very hot during update. After installation I made a reboot. All Apps are working and Dark Mode is now available for most Apps.
This update broke my GooglePay, no longer passing ctsProfile in safetynet.
Seems to work fine. Before this update I was getting more and more bugs, but they seem to be gone now. Rebooting after the update took a long time, however. I was stuck on the Mix logo for 5-10 minutes.
There are some visual tweaks here and there, but that's all I can notice.
Themes available, region uk!
Latest update has caused my home launcher to crash. Am only able to use it cause of 3rd party launcher.
Does Magisk patched boot work with this? I was stuck a boot screen for over 10 mins before I had to reflash stock boot.img.
*update*
I had an out of date version of exposed installed that caused boot loop.
I can't install work email, and because my phone is CN region, of course, Google Pay not working. Not sure if boot options for the kernel changed, going to look and see if I need to update my flashable patcher zip.

Magisk works.
But my ctsProfile fails on the safetynet.
Rendering GooglePay and PokemonGo unusable, which wasn't an issue for me before.
Also am international model.
After this update,
I was struggling to boot TWRP at first,
But my issue stemmed from trying to use adb / fastboot commands to boot into TWRP recovery, which only took me to stock recovery.
I got my Magisk back by doing a "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img"
And then manually used the volume up + power button to boot TWRP (I used the unofficial mauronofrio)
And from there just install the Magisk zip.

Just went through this process myself and came back here now to report on it.
This was my process for anyone also looking for guidance.
This will work for the new android 10 updated. I came from MIUI10 (10.0.3.2.0) using system update to go to MIUI11 and android 10 (11.0.3.0) via OTA update, which reverted to stock recovery and obviously lost root as well.
1. Saved most recent twrp 3.3.1-7-recovery.img for perseus by mauronofrio found in these XDA threads, magisk 20.3.zip found on magisk site and repository, and just to be sure disable forced encryption-treble.zip (just search for it) to my phone AND adb directory on Windows 10 computer.
ENSURE USB IS PLUGGED INTO 2.0 or 2.0 COMPATABILE HUB (Flashing recovery failed when connected to a USB3.0 port) and ADB/FASTBOOT is installed on your computer.
2. Booted into fastboot. (Power + Volume down)
3. Ran cmd.exe and entered "cd C:/(wherever you installed/platform-tools" without quotes.
4. Entered "fastboot devices" to ensure fastboot is connected. It should show device_id# and fastboot next to that.
5. Flashed TWRP3.3.1-7 for MiMix3 perseus (latest unofficial TWRP) by entering "fastboot flash recovery twrp3.3.1-7-recovery.img"
6. Entered "fastboot reboot recovery" the phone will reboot now, ENSURE YOU HOLD VOL+ ASAP or you will lose TWRP with stock recovery.
7. After booting into TWRP, entered password, wiped data and cache only.
8. In TWRP go to install and choose your disable_forced_encryption-treble.zip and flash it but do not select reboot device, it is selected by default.
(NOTE: Don't know if #8 is a necessary step especially for Global devices but did it anyways and it didn't hurt anything)
9. Go to install again and choose magisk20.3.zip, this time you can select reboot device.
10. After completing android setup download magisk manager 7.5.1 from play store and verify 20.3 is installed, if it is then congrats, you're rooted.
That's it! Like the above post said ctsProfile is reading false meaning you most likely will not be able to use Pay apps like Google Pay, etc.
Other apps that use google play services for verification may not work as well like Pokemon GO, Mario Kart, Harry Potter, or other banking/security apps. (Not sure about this one yet, try MagiskHide in the manager. Spyke180 is reporting above they do not work currently.) So if you can't live without Samsung Pay, or one of these games wait until a ctsProfile:true/SafetyNet passes solution is available.
Hopefully the next magisk update or someone in the community will be able to solve these issues in a timely manner, shouldn't be much of a wait.
Hope this made sense and can help some peeps out there perhaps.
CTSProfile is failing on my device as well. I tried using the boot cmdline patcher I made and it's still failing. I am wondering if Xiaomi released this update before getting the fingerprint in the CTS approved list. I can't think of anything else. My device is a CN device, so the BL is unlocked. I don't know if flashing Magisk with CN device and Global software still results in a boot loop but may try it.
Also, Magisk is detected through some methodology. I read all the posts made in both the release and beta threads in the last 3 days and it seems broken for everyone.
MMS stopped automatically sending and receiving on Google Messages app. But somehow works flawlessly on stock texting app. Notification tells me "Can't send MMS message. Tap to allow MMS messaging on (Carrier) when mobile data is off". Tapping the notification yields nothing. Even a factory reset does nothing.

I see.
If you're rooted, you could try using the systemize module to make it a system app.
I verified my Google Messages and its notifications are working for me, even with both Wi-Fi and mobile data turned off.

Works great apart from when I make calls the microphone doesn't work...whatsapp calls are fine it only seems to be a problem on cellular!
When I select the image I get 4 options and it does not let me install with any
With this my G7 play stay 32bits or can change for 64 bits?

until we get a 64 bit kernel, it'll stay 32. i want to build a 64 kernel cause i want to bring ubuntu touch to this phone, that requires a 64 bit boot image, if we are to use erfan's (only method for android 9 devices rn)
Thanks man.
Managed to get magisk working with this rom..alongside twrp
Simply install latest magisk canary APK (284). Give it super user when it asks and restart the app
Then when clicking install...it gave me option of direct install (make sure recovery is selected). It should install successfully
I then rebooted to bootloader and to get to twrp hold volume up after selecting recovery and dont hold anything to boot back to Los..
Can't share my boot image if that helps anyone

I gave it a try. It did indeed let me patch directly. It was very unstable. Things asking for su multiple times and not remembering my choice, certain modules not installing, and I always seemed to lose root entirely after rebooting

yup... sorry, forgot to post... I assumed it was after installing modules.
Lockscreen not work for me, in all gsi roms.
Only stock works.
rom works great, feels like a new phone.
model XT1952-4.
not working unfortunately is the FM radio.
based on the error message when trying to install FM apps, it looks like the kernel driver was not included in the rom?
I can deal with the fingerprint not working, it would be really nice to get the FM driver included so I don't have to use data.
Overall the phone is so much better with this rom, Thank You!!!!
Hi, probably a stupid question, considering I'm new: what does this differ from the Lineage OS instructions for Moto G7 Play at their web site? I mean, why shouldn't I stick with their instructions?
I just want to understand what is at stake here (again, I'm new at this world of smartphone os's)
I'm really interested in replacing Android (which I like, but it's... Google ) and all carrier bloatware stuff by a free OS.
EDIT: Nevermind. I've just realized that it isn't for the G7 Play, it's for G7 only. Sorry about this (maybe useful for other newbies like me)
Thanks for all the work
Everything seems stable been using on daily driver for 2 days now. Only issue is bluetooth audio not working. I'm wondering if the Motorola face unlock app would work however current version isn't available.

I'm using this on a Moto g⁷ Play in the USA, currently it's pretty stable. As for what's at stake, you lose access to Bluetooth audio, fingerprint & faceunlock unless you have SD card formated as portable storage and manage to get magisk working. There's a fix for Bluetooth Audio with magisk or ADB but I don't remember what the command was. Also as for magisk you should be able to fix atleast faceunlock because Motorola uses an app for it.

Thank you very much for sharing. I await your further results if any new issues arise to proceed with installing Lineage OS 17
Good job with the notch feels good to swipe down properly I’m encountering a issue the captive login appears to be broken I can’t sign into any WiFi’s that need a portal entry the portal screen doesn’t come up also I found how to get magisk to work properly With twrp u need the newest canary version and u have to patch directly (have recovery option enabled) which u use the root of this rom to achieve that after that backup boot image in twrp which will leave it with the magisk patched and twrp after reinstall the rom remove the phh root and restore yeh boot image in twrp and reboot to recovery from twrp and install magisk manager just note it’s lineage that makes magisk act up hence certain apps not obtaining root is lineage fault cause with another GSI like havoc which this method works for also (works with all GSIs to my knowledge) there no root app issues or modules not working just noticed that on lineage

phone no longer working because of trying to install magisk but I'll be trying to fix with LMSA and then using @PoochyX's instructions tomorrow
Edit: LMSA is now Rescue and Smart Assistant, I just tried to restore it with this but it needs to be on stock firmware to restore.

Why not just boot into bootloader mode and fast boot stock firmware to recover your device ?

Hi,
From your experience which GSI is better for MOTO G7 Play 1952-2:
Havoc or Lineage ?
It depends on what u trying to do exactly if u a heavy Magisk user u want to stay away from lineage and use havoc since magisk plays well with it if u don’t care about magisk and just want a simple root then this rom be a good experience for other then rom WiFi portal issues this rom it’s excellent cause it’s the only one with the notch fix if that fix was easily implemented out this rom and could be used with another GSI that would of been fantastic...

Thank you for your reply.
I favor stability and performance over Magisk.
In my case, do your recommend Lineage as my best option to try?
