Hey all used this guide to upgrade stock jellybean,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909819
Worked brilliantly and then got above my skill level when removing some bloatware, normally i copy the apks i remove however this time i pressed delete by mistake, now have huge issues with play store and other apps. I have deleted too many apks
Have tried installing google apks again but still no joy. Does any one know of a way i can install JB again to start afresh i did try downgrading as per the guide but that didnt actually remove the JB firmware. I feel although even with huge amounts of help from flumpster (many thanks) we arnt cracking it so a fresh install is prob best, i just hope someone knows how to.
Thanks in advance.

I would assume you can do a factory reset. With the until off, press and hold vol dwn, then press and hold the pwr button for a few seconds, release the pwr button but continue to hold vol dwn, then release when the bootloader is displayed, from there you should have an option to Wipe Data (Factory Reset).

Yes force stopped wiped data and rebooted but still as soon as device reboots i get the error google play store has stopped.
Thanks for all your help guys it is appreciated, and is probably all that has stopped me throwing the thing at the wall.

because you are not unlocked we are purely guessing on fixes for this at the moment but I know you now have google services framework back. When you was asked above to do the volume down and power and then select wipe was this done after we got google services back or before?

Well there are still options. If you had USB debugging enabled in developer options you can still adb stuff to the device. If you don't as a last resort you could unlock the bootloader and install it as a custom rom. Also as you are not unlocked at all asus would probably accept it as an rma under warranty.

You need to have the adb files on your computer. Open a command prompt where adb files are by holding down shift and right clicking on the folder adb is in and selecting open command prompt here. Then type adb devices into command window.
if you get waiting check in your device manager to see if you have any devices with explanation marks on it. If there are then install naked drivers from the top of developer section.

I changed from an iPhone 4 in May to the Samsung Note. On my iPhone I would immediately jailbreak and install MyWi. In my research to do the same on the note I ran across a rooting tutorial for my device and followed the instructions http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-note-att-i717-root-without-increasing-flash-counter-61325/ (I am not positive, but I feel confident this is the one I followed). I installed Superuser and Titanium Backup, did a backup of ATT connection manager, then removed it. Tethering worked like a charm. This has worked and I had no issues until Friday June 14th.
On Friday, everytime I opened an app on my phone I would get a Force Close. I restarted the phone and watched as it repeatedly happened after every cycle. Believing that installing Droid VNC Server was the issue, the last app I had installed, I removed it successfully and included others I didn’t use. Upon reboot, I noticed the notification of App Updates and a missed call. Checked the application list and noticed that all of the apps I had just removed were still there. I have a ton of pics and videos and thought that I should back them up immediately before I deleted them, prepared for the worst. I was able to do that. I deleted them all, nothing in the gallery. When the phone crapped out again and rebooted, all apps and all pictures back.
I formatted the USB Storage, seemed to delete nothing and also showed the same amount of used space as before.
Time for a restore. I know now that the recovery partition is gone and so a Wipe/reset is fruitless. No problem. I know how to flash the rom. I used this method with Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
Everything seemed to work successfully, but upon reboot I get the same app updates notification and the same missed call notification. The same frozen state my phone was in when the issue started on Friday. WTH!
I have everything backed up. How do I get back to stock? I could care less about the counter. I just want my phone to be usable again.

did you try wiping Catche and Dav?
Wipe Catch > Wife Davlik > Fix Permision, then reboot ..
see what happens ..
Not a noob, but here is where i am lost
I booted in to recovery, chose to Wipe/Erase . I see no option to Wipe Davlik except for in SuperUser and there it is a paid option, not sure where to find Fix Permission and then reboot?
I am assuming these are all options for CWM. I attempted to put CWM on an SD card last night and install from ZIP, but Recovery does not seem to see the SD card.
Are these options that are available for CWM, if so I will push through until I get it to work, but I have had no luck to this point.

no need to go back to stock .
try reflashing whichever ROM you desire...
its always wise to follow every little STEP given by the DEV .
to wipe dav you go to advance and it should be there..

I have attempted to Flash ROMs I don't desire just to move forward. They all flash and pass in Odin but on reboot I still have my default screen. Unfortunately, I want to go back to stock. I have done plenty of research and need something more to push on to the next thing. I am looking at phone and there is not an Advanced option in recovery. I have read there are options in CWM but I am looking at what I believe is the stock recovery options.

after you are rooted ,
you should have nothing to do with Odin.
and also, if you were stuck on your phone trying to boot up, chances are you keep downloading a bad ROM..
happen to me before..a ROM that was suposed to be 192MB,
would finish on 158MB
someone else may be able to help you get back to stock ROM..i havent had the chance to ever wanna go back to stock so i wouldnt know for sure.
sorry and good luck .

So, maybe I am a newb. I have followed the instructions to install CWM on my device and it even says it was successful. I am doing it from ODIN. See the file I downloaded here. Says it was successful but holding the volume up and then power button. NO CWM.
I am truly frustrated but I want my phone back. Can someone link me to the stupid people posts so I can get my phone working again?

You now have a custom recovery(according to Odin). The problem is, you're doing the wrong key combo as stated above. You can also go to the market and grab FJ's power tool. You can boot into recovery directly from the app. Good luck.

Still having issues. Here is the deal.
I have the phone in Download mode
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dnk6ekjqp9vddev/2012-06-19 19.40.01.jpg
I load the CWM Recovery in the PDA box. Start the flash, get a pass. All looks good to me.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5q4hayf35mm26wr/odin-success.PNG
I immediately attempt to access CWM Recovery by holding the power, vol+ and vol- and still get the default recovery
https://www.dropbox.com/s/d176blydonlvrlu/2012-06-19 20.13.42.jpg
I am so confused as to what I am doing wrong.
Unfortunately those pics aren't loading for me. Try again with the pic of recovery and the file you're flashing. Thanks. If you still have stock recovery then maybe that's what you're flashing in error.
Try volume up + down and power button. When phone vibrates, release power button but keep holding volume buttons until you are in cwm.
I would use Odin to flash cwm touch recovery from pda, then load a rom via cwm. Using that method you don't even need to root because it's all done at bootloader level and root is built in to the custom rom you flash

Hello,
I've looked around, but I haven't found anyone with this peculiar error message. So, I'm trying to flash the 5.0.2 OTA on my N9, but I get this message:
package expects build fingerprint of google/volantis/flounder:5.0.1/LRX22C/1602158:user/release-keys or google/volantis/flounder:5.0.2/LRX22L/1816899:user/release-keys; this device has google/omni_flounder/flounder:5.0.2/LRX22G/dees_troy03251233:eng/test-keys
I thought it was because I had a modifier my kernel boot.img (to unencrypt my N9), so I restored the stock IMG. It encrypted my tablet after a reboot. I came back in recovery, but I still get the message. I'm rooted/unlocked, stock Android and xposed is also installed. Before returning my N9 to it's stock state, I wanted to know if there was something I could try? What does the message means?
Thanks a lot!
I'm on the same boat,kinda...Stock ROM,only rooted...Is there an easy way to unroot without wiping the device?
It has already been reported that you can't simply install the OTA .zip as it comes, since Google is doing a checksum to the whole partitions (i guess boot and system) and as long as this isn't the original, it won't allow for the installation of the update.
I am not sure how can you override this check and make the .zip to install without reverting to a perfect stock (kernel+rom) system.
Flash the factory image (there is a line on the instal file that you need to edit so it doesn't wipe) or you can download the image , extract the zip inside and manually flash the system partition. Then try to run the update

Hello,
I've figured it out. I've used "WugFresh Nexus Rootkit 2.0.5" to flash LRX22C without Wiping the userdata and I was then able to apply the OTA 5.0.2.
Thanks for the help guys!

Cheers mate!! I was looking in the advanced utilities!!THanks for your time !!
Hm... I tried the Wug method, and it was erroring out on the "flash LRX22C without Wiping the userdata" step, so it told me to check "Force Flash". I did, and it seemed to work, but I had to manually reboot (it didn't reboot for me at the end like it was supposed to). Now I'm stuck in an eternal bootloop. I can't get past the colored balls, and I can't turn the dang thing off; holding down the power button just performs endless force restarts.
Only thing I can think of is to run the battery down, plug it in, then go to the bootloader and do the Flash Stock + Unroot option again. Any other suggestions?
Thanks

Did you try a factory reset in Hboot in the bootloader menu? Just hold the volume down button when it reboots, select Hboot, then Factory Reset. Or do the same to boot into the bootloader and try Wug's toolkit again with force flash AND the wipe settings I think it is. I checked, it's with the 'No Wipe Mode' unchecked.

You're a genius. I keep reading that I need to hold power+vol down+vol up. Holding power+vol down got my right out of the boot loop, and so I'm back in Bootloader and can hopefully get it figured out from there. Thanks!

You can't flash the OTA if you are rooted. If you want to go the OTA route you will need to flash the stock 5.0.1 system.img, boot.img(if you have a modified kernel) and vendor.img first.
F.Y.I.
even if you mount vendor and or system
as rw and still change nothing
that will not let the ota flash
Yes, it does in fact work.
Sorta.
Pre requisites: ROOT, File explorer of your choice that uses root and make sure in the settings to enable hidden folders.
You'll need to clear out substratum to make sure there isn't anything lingering and then select your overlay and build/enable them.
Once you do you'll need to open up your file explorer and go to
Data/media/0/.substratum
(If you don't see .substratum you didn't enable hidden folders)
You should have the overlay apks inside. Select all, copy and go to
System/app
And paste your apks inside of it then reboot.
Once your phone boots back up go into substratum and inside of the manager you should see your overlays. Select them and enable them! You may have to reboot for the overlays to properly work as usual
Aaaaaand Substratum already has a beta working! https://play.google.com/apps/testing/projekt.substratum/join
Happy modding!
So far themes that work:
Pi Dark: System, GPS, Settings, and System UI work flawlessly
Swift Dark/Black: All apps except for system/UI work
Sai's Oreo Theme: Android system (stock blue only) System UI and QS tiles only!! Anything else will cause your phone to bootloop. You'll need to boot into twrp, mount storage and go into your system/system/app folder and delete the APK's that caused it to loop
Gave it a shot... Long story short.... Bootloop..... Reflashed factory image.
My stupid fault. I followed directions from another source. May try again after the next update.
so i tried this yesterday and got into a bootloop. followed directions and all but now my phone doesnt connect to my laptop when i plug it in via usb. so now i'm not able to use fasboot to flash the imgs. im running out of ideas to try.

I did see the apks I removed 3 of them and rebooted. That didn't do nothing. Still boot looping and now it's just stuck at the TWRP bootup screen. And my laptop wasn't seeing my phone when plugged in. I tried numerous computers. I did a RMA yesterday. It was unlocked from VZW so I know the replacement will end my rooting and having fun with the phone.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I have the latest 997 version and I checked to make sure it was installing the apk's into the system folder. I'm using pi dark by the way

Do you have your stock image on your phone? You could wipe it and flash the stock image through twrp

Unfortunately it's bootlooping to TWRP and stuck on TWRP splash screen. I think she's done now. R.I.P. lol
Hey guys.
The below is my full experience of how I flashed TWRP, the Xiaomi.eu rom and rooted with Magisk. Whilst it essentially is a step-by-step, it also contains not only how I succeeded but also how I encountered issues and so...
*UPDATE!*
Here is a slightly condensed verison with thanks to @airwebber
Get the latest xiaomi.eu rom from here or here, just scroll down and find the "xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9..." version.
https://sourceforge.net/p/xiaomi-eu...ty/?page=0&limit=100#5cb9f96ee8ba7c44716e87ff
Get the latest magisk (magisk v19 works at the time of writing this post):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Some versions of twrp may not work on older builds other than the latest (9.4.25) and so use this one with:
https://mega.nz/#!CH5jgYTB!yNqOiVoo3cf0_15jIwZ-btO52cvpOG7iZrRCe19V2Nc
Once the waiting time elapses (usually 360 hours) use the MiFlash tool to unlock the bootloader. Warning: this wipes your phone entirely, so be sure to backup anything of importance.
Unlocking takes a few minutes and once 100% complete your Mi 9 will reboot. Your phone will say “unlocked” on the first splash screen while booting up.
Your Mi 9 will boot, and you will need to either perform/skip the initial setup stuff. Once ready, power off your device in order to flash TWRP.
Press both the volume down key and power key to boot into Fastboot Mode.
Once in Fastboot Mode, use the following command to install TWRP: “fastboot flash recovery XXXX” (XXXX = the pathway to your TWRP.img file). However, I find it best using Minimal ADB and copying the TWRP file and renaming it to “twrp.img” for ease) in the Minimal ADB folder location e.g. “C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot”.
Once flashed, disconnect the USB cable and boot to TWRP recovery by holding down both the volume up and the power buttons. This sometimes will bring you to the stock recovery and NOT TWRP! If it does, boot back to Fastboot and reflash TWRP.
Once you can boot to TWRP, push both the rom and magisk via CMD line:
adb push rom.zip /tmp/
adb push magisk.zip /tmp/
For ease, I suggest copying both files to the Minimal ADB folder location e.g. “C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot”. And renaming them to: “rom.zip” and “magisk.zip”.
This step is very important!! You must go to the Wipe menu and select: Format Data, then type “yes” to continue and then: do a Factory reset, which also wipes: Data, Caches and Format Data. If you skip this step you won’t be able to install a lot of important apps and will have to start over.
Now that you have pushed both the rom & magisk and wiped everything you needed to. Install the ROM immediately after install magisk.zip (in that order) both located in /tmp/.
The installation will take a couple of minutes (if your screen dims, don’t worry that’s just TWRP screen dimming, touch the screen to keep it awake!) once finished with no errors, then reboot and chose Do Not Install the TWRP app when prompted.
The phone will take a few seconds to reboot and show the first MI splash screen, but it should start booting. After a couple of minutes, you should see the initial boot screen! Perform the setup (connecting to Wi-Fi, adding my Google account etc.).
Once finished setting up, you may notice that magisk was not installed, if that happens, you can install the APK version and follow the prompts and reboot.
Once rebooted, confirm that magisk is now installed. If it is, I suggest installing SafetyNet and confirming your phone passes!
If it passes, you have successfully installed and rooted the Xiaomi.eu rom!
Also, when updating with each weekly I recommend the below as an alternative to using the built in Updater app. The reason being is I believe the updater app automatically reboots after it installs, which if you're rooted means you'll lose it. That then means you have to reboot back to twrp, reflash magisk, reboot, reinstall modules, reboot again etc.
Therefore to update a weekly:
Download the rom manually
Reboot to twrp
Wipe system and caches
Flash the rom and magisk
Reboot
Optional: I also disable my substratum theme too before updating and reapply afterwards. Whether it's needed or not I'm not too sure, so give it a try either way
Awesome, all files at the ready! BTW get the latest MIUI from HERE or HERE.
Make sure you download the xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9_xxx.zip.

You have used the Magisk Canary build I presume?
And great job for writing it down.... Now I remember the same culprits I had of flashing TWRP. [emoji23]

Good stuff for early roots without not tested stuff like twrp and magisk but I would hide that middle part coz some people can get be confused. Or make a short version which working in order and another with your all step's but separately

Yeah I agree it's kinda overkill, being a a full run down - when I get time I'll make a shorter condensed version
Thanks for the detailed write up. The EU roms are google approved correct? Does the side Ai button work with google assist? Do you need to install twrp to flash or can I just flash global/EU rom if I don't want to root yet?
I just got the bootloader unlocked (1h before than I tought ahahah). I had some issue that the unlocker was telling to me thaat I didn't use enought the phone and that so I had to try in few days I overtook the problem using an old version of the unlocker (2.3.803.10).
Reading your procedure it all logical and fine, thanks! Except one thing that I'm not sure... Is xiaomi.eu a 'full rom' (on all Xiaomi that I had I always jumped straight to something different than MIUI and so I never tried it ahahah )?
If so, I think it would be better to wipe the system too before installing the rom. That's because doing so it will do 100% 'clean' installation and not a an update on the normal global miui

Hmm unsure about them being approved or not... The side button does work. As far as I understand, you'll need to install twrp in order to flash the new rom, but could always go back to stock recovery and of course no need to root if you don't want to

Reading your procedure it is more or less everything fine except one thing that I'm not sure. is xiaomi.eu a full rom? If so, I think it would be better to wipe the system too before installing the rom because instead it will try to to an update on the normal global miui rather than a 100% 'clean' installarion

That's a fair point - if you have some this successfully then perhaps I'll amend my post. Sometime soon I'll make a small set of instructions, rather than my essay

Luckily in those two waiting-weeks I had time to test all the debloat that I wanted to come with a stable configuration today It's just a pity that we can't get rid completely of the Security app It is integrated too much in the system!
One quick question for who has installed Xiaomi EU with Magisk: does it pass SafetyNet to you? (to me no )

So once bootloader is unlocked I can install TWRP and flash the EU rom without rooting?

Yeah, to change the device name back to mi 9, just install "Find my device" app from Google play store, sign in with google account, there's an option in the setting to rename the device (this device).
That's the only place you can change the name back, I did try all, but only this one worked.
Hello,
maybe someone would be able to help or explain. Running on 9.1.0.215 (but tried with 9.1.0.210 as well), after I try to root with Magisk (=flash patched recovery_ramdisk), my SMS stop working. I've tried more applications (default 'Messaging', Google 'Messages', also Facebook 'Messenger') but no chance, phone is not able to receive or create any SMS messages. However, everything else is working fine.
I'm pretty sure that it's caused by this activity, because when I flash back original RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img, SMS are back again.
Any ideas what could be wrong? I really like to use Magisk, but unfortunately, it's no go without SMS.
Thanks!
1. Flash stock recovery_ramdisk. (If you already flash magisk patched ramdisk). Stock recovery is needed to factory reset.
2. back up your data.
3. reboot to recovery. Perform factory reset
4. Power off device. Hold volume down, plug usb to boot to bootloader.
5. flash magisk patched recovery ramdisk
6. Reboot by holding power + volume up button.
7. Done

Thanks for hint!
Doing factory reset isn't exactly one's wish, but if there is no other choice I will definitely give it a try. Speaking of backup/restore of apps - can you please give me a hint, what could be the most comfortable way of doing that? I do not care about data - that is easy to backup/restore - but is there any simple way how to avoid manual re-installation of all apps after restore?
Thanks again!

Hi, just to confirm that I had exactly the same problem. To solve it, I had to reinstall the original recovery ramdisk.

When you go through the setup it should suggest it if you've backed up to drive. Otherwise use titanium backup. It saves the apks and works with root

But reinstall original recovery ramdisk means no root, right?
Did you succeed with rooting afterwards, e. g. with factory reset like suggested above?

I ran into this problem on my honor 9 and in addition to a not working sms-app,the dialer app was broken aswell.
I did find this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/fix-messages-dialer-9-1-root-required-t3955964 and this fixed both issues.
adb shell
su
rm /data/user/0/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/*
rm /data/user/0/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/*
Go back to phone and wipe data of Phone and Messages
Go back to command prompt and:
reboot recovery

Glad I could help I tried a factory reset and rooted afterwards, but as soon as magisk was flashed, sms stopped working and tons of "access denied" or so errors started to show up in the log.

I unlocked my bootloader last year, when you could get the unlock code from their website. Unlocking your bootloader on Pie with one of those codes should still work.
I don't know, if other unlocking method like dc-unlocker or funkyhuawei will work. Sry

Thank youuuuuu this worked perfectly for me. I had to change the directory name from user to user_de, but once I did that, it was perfect And I didn't even lose my text messages
Oh no This solution worked, but after doing it, I no longer have access to 4G/LTE on my phone. Did this happen to anyone else? Is there a fix for this?
