Hi,
I tried to update my P6 using the magisk OTA update method:
-Unistall / Restore image
-Install OTA, no reboot
-Install magisk on inactive slot
-Reboot
My phone was on the SQ3A.220705.001.B2 update, few months old.
When I rebooted, I was prompted with the "device corrupted" message. I pressed the power key to continue, and was stuck at the Google logo boot loop.
I forced turned off the phone (hold power + vol up a few sec), and the phone rebooted, no corruption message to my surprise, and booted correctly. However, my system did not update (still on SQ3A.220705.001.B2).
I'm a rookie on device rooting, but my understanding is that my inactive slot (partition b) as the update installed but is corrupted and goes in boot loop, while partition a is not updated but not corrupted either.
The thing is, I only did "install on inactive slot", so magisk was uninstalled on partition a, and rebooting made me lost root on that partition.
Is there any way to de-corrupt partition b without losing data ? Because without root on partition a, it seems like I'll need to reinstall it, meaning a factory reset...
I've searched a bit on here, saw that it was probably an avb bug (but rookie me doesn't know what avb is), and that OTA update using magisk inactive partition was not recommended for P6 and P7.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks !

Be certain you're running the latest version of ADB. Google provides a link to the package you can download and extract. Then download a factory image from Google, extract the files from the zip to the same folder ADB was wxtracted to, and edit "flash-all.bat" in a text editor. You're looking for a snippet of text, "-w". Delete that text and save the file. From there, connect the unit to your PC and flash the ROM.
This will restore both partitions to working condition without removing data, but you will lose root in the process and will need to root again.

Ok I'll find out how to flash ROM using adb beacause I don't remember, and I'll do what you said.
After that, I should be able to force boot to partition b (the updated one) using adb, right? And will I be able to root without losing data ?

Ok so I've searched a bit, since my bootloader is unlocked I'll be able to root without losing data. The only question that remains :
You told me to download a factory image and to flash it with adb. Can I download the lasted version, for example the one that I failed to update to? If so, after flashing, will my de va ice be updated to the lasted version ?
Because that means that it's a way to update my phone, if I don't want to get the corruption error :
-download lasted update
-flash using adb, with the edited .bat
-Reboot and re-flash magisk
-done

I think that the easiest way is with Pixel Flasher, it makes everything automatically with data preserve.

@SleinBuyt : Yes
@m_pastuszek : While he could do that he should learn how to do it without a tool first. That way he can understand what is going on when the tool is working.

I agree on this side, but actually editing script that makes something similar comes down to the same thing
That was the same case for me.
After latest OTA update, no matter how many time I tried to flash full factory image via fastboot, stil showing device corrupted.
A couple of things everyone having this issue should be aware of.
Currently, "Flash to Inactive Slot" breaks verification/dm-verity on the Pixel 6/7, and I believe that's responsible for the "Device corrupted" error. The Magisk devs are aware but don't have a fix yet. I haven't been able to test because there have been no OTAs since I disabled those myself (which PixelFlasher can do for you), but I believe disabling them should prevent that problem during OTAs, but be advised I think doing so requires wiping /data when you do it.
Also, if you're still getting "device corrupted" even after reflashing stock, first watch for any errors during flashing in PixelFlasher (I may have a fix for anyone that has USB issues on Windows devices, but it involves the registry so it makes some people nervous), but if it isn't working then try Google's Android Flash Tool by finding your device and desired firmware here and clicking Flash. You'll need to be using Chrome. That's never failed for me. Once you have it up and running again *then* use PixelFlasher to patch and flash the boot image.
ALSO, for anyone on T1B1/QPR2: Magisk currently is not working at all with these versions. It'll boot, but you'll have no root. No one knows why yet as far as I'm aware. You'll have to stick to earlier/non beta builds until there's an answer for that if you want root.

To root the Pixel 6 on QPR2 Beta 1 you can patch the Pixel 7 boot image and then flash that on the Pixel 6.

UPDATE : I did it, I used ADB for the sake of trying it, next time I'll look into PixelFlasher I guess. The message is gone.
Exact step followed :
-I first trained to use adb by flashing magisk, but ended up patching the wrong boot.img (the one from the A13 update, while being on A12), which sent me in a bootloop.
-I then flashed the A13 ROM, with the modified flash-all file
-Rebooted bootloader, flashed magisk
-Rebooted device.
Took me 2h lol, each step was learning something.
Thanks everyone!

Just make sure you have the A13 bootloader on both slots if you haven't already, since it sounds like you just updated from A12 to A13?

I mean, the objective was to update my device and keep root, wich is now done. Why do I need the A13 bootloader on both slots, and if it's important how should I do it ?

So If ok reboot to fastboot, plug in, and with adb :

My situation is a bit bizarre. I'm on beta and recently got an update notification that was 190mb. I went to magisk to restore images and magisk says stock backup does not exist. From there and went ahead and use my PC to flash my stock boot image and rebooted. Once an Android it's still says the same thing but when I go back to the update it says installation problem Even though I am on stock. That's where I'm at right now. Haven't messed with it since just rolled with no root and stock boot image.

Hi Everyone! I'm not a Dev (yet), so this is one of my contributions to the Sprint community
This is a DIY root method. By doing it yourself, you will learn some basic knowledge about using cmd windows, using ADB, and using fastboot. All files are in the
Unlock your bootloader - www.htcdev.com Follow the instructions at HTC-Dev to unlock your bootloader.
Flash TWRP Recovery - (refer to the Read Me First Text on how to fastboot flash TWRP Recovery)
Flash SuperSU - (copy to sdcard and flash from TWRP; v2.48 is the first working version)
Using this method will NOT give you S-OFF, but it will help you unlock your bootloader (HTC-DEV method), flash a custom recovery (TWRP for now), and install the Superuser app of your choice.
What's included:
Read Me Text (Instructions, ADB commands, and all the things)
ADB Tool
Latest HTC Drivers v4.2.0.001 and HTC BMP USB Drivers v1.0.5375(32 and 64 bit versions)
TWRP openrecovery v2.8.6.0
SuperSU.apk v2.48
I would like to thank:
TeamWin (for TWRP)
Captain_Throwback for his version of TWRP
Chainfire (for SuperSU)

Please see the next post (post #3) on how to take an OTA
The first thing EVERYONE should do prior to rooting or anything else that modifies system is DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!! You must also use the latest TWRP, preferably @Captain_Throwback beta version.
On the M9, any changes to system will cause OTAs to fail, even using an older version of TWRP (which mounts the system RW), will cause OTAs to fail. The latest version of TWRP is RO. Captain_Throwback has taken this to the next level by implementing auto detection, if it detects your system is untouched, it is RO allowing you to do a clean backup. If it detects system has been modified, it will allow you to mount system as RW just like in the past.
for reference...
Captain_Throwback said:
Well, the bad news is that rooting will break the ability to take an OTA. In fact, ANY change to the system block (even just mounting it as read/write in recovery) will cause an OTA to fail. This is confirmed by the updater-script:
Code:
(range_sha1("/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system", "2,0,1") == "261d26028677f988c9e174a26438698d3049a1f3") || (range_sha1("/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system", "2,0,1") == "80a8e88fcc1c59e572557c09d58b46a060ce9313") || [B]abort("/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system has been remounted R/W; reflash device to reenable OTA updates")[/B];
if range_sha1("/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system", "2,0,1146880") == "1396016f0a12721094d8b414b2f9d2b075409b3d" then
ui_print("Patching system image...");
show_progress(0.900000, 0);
block_image_update("/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system", package_extract_file("system.transfer.list"), "system.new.dat", "system.patch.dat");
else
(range_sha1("/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system", "2,0,1146880") == "2a40a25d6999821224a246129bd31fe2e6945272") ||
[B] abort("system partition has unexpected contents")[/B];
endif;
Notice that it's confirming the checksum of the entire system block device. The first thing everyone will need to do before flashing ANYTHING is make a backup of system.
TWRP for the M9 is set up to mount system as read-only to prevent any checksum changes. Any backup taken of system is done via dd, which means the backup is done in image format and should exactly match the original checksum if/when restored.

No. You can't just restore the backup. You have to fastboot flash the system image.

Captain_Throwback said:
The reason you can't just restore the stock system while in TWRP is because the system in TWRP is mounted read-write. As soon as you restore it, it'll be compromised again. So, you have to flash the system image while in fastboot to ensure it keeps its integrity. Then if you reboot into TWRP, system will be mounted read-only again. That'll allow you to take a full system image backup again after taking the OTA.

If one would rather just keep stock recovery, but have root for apps like Wifi Tether Router, would the below steps work?
1) Unlock with HTCDev
2) Only boot into TWRP (not flash it as permanent recovery): Fastboot boot twrp.img
3) Once booted into TWRP, install supersu
Then should OTA updates work, after which you only have to repeat steps 2 & 3?
My intent is to just get root access for apps like WiFi Tether Router.

only way to know is to try...I've used fastboot boot in the past, not sure if it still works.
if it doesn't just do this:
-unlock
-flash twrp
-BACKUP!!!
-flash SuperSu
-flash stock recovery
this is actually better, as you want a good backup b4 modifying /system

I've been reading through all posts before getting my M9 tomorrow.
I intend to unlock the bootloader and then first try to just boot into the newest beta of twrp to install supersu. If that does not work, I am trying to plan ahead and either learn how to backup recovery.img or find the stock of it. Can you assist with that, please?
I basically want root with the ability to accept OTA updates as normal.

you shouldn't have to relock. i didn't relock mine, and i just finished updating the new OTA about 10 minutes ago. all i did was fastboot flash the original system image, fastboot flash the stock recovery, and then do the OTA.

Hello,
I've installed a custom recovery, SuperSU and the xposed framework on my Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus and yesterday I've received an OTA update with wich I was (as expected) unable to update my phone. (it just rebooted to TWRP and did nothing) On their website I was only able to find an older build. I think what I have to do is install the stock recovery(to install the update then switch back to a custom one), but I don't know where to get it from.

Thank you very much, I've installed the stock recovery and also uninstalled xposed framework and SuperSU so the System partition would be clean but when trying to update I get a derpy android with the text: ERROR. Does anyone know how can I fully revert to stock so I can install the update, would a factory reset solve my problem?

You can revert by flashing the system.img via fastboot from the very same zip I mentioned before. You can get it here: http://builds.cyngn.com/factory/marmite/cm-13.1.4-ZNH2KAS5RM-marmite-signed-fastboot-c64f8f5d87.zip

Exactly the same here. I flashed TWRP so I can install SuperSU for root access, now I've flashed back the stock recovery to apply the update and it ends in "Error".
It's also not possible to apply the downloaded zip-package manually (not via TWRP and not via Cyanogen recovery).

It's not an option for me to do a full reset each time they (who ever it might be in the future) release an update.
I bought this phone because I thought it might be easier to update/ get root access compared with e.g. Samsung devices, but in the end I must say Cyanogen OS is really bad and I hope there will be some mods soon, so I can get these bad/restrictive stock-OS off my phone...

I haven't checked myself but linuxct seems to say its an img file. You need to flash img files with fastboot. Have you tried unziping the .zip file and seeing if there are img files (e.g system.img, recovery.img)
If you don't know how to use fastboot here is a good tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277112
Hope this helps.

You can enable that inside Developer options > Root access. There's no need to either alter your system nor unlock your bootloader if your only concern is root privileges.

Cyanogen is no more, Wileyfox's switching to an AOSP-based ROM through the following OTAs, which will be Android 7.0 Nougat and will start rolling on february. You've more info here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/swift-2/how-to/official-wileyfox-statement-regarding-t3528844

No, I think that is only there in CyanogenMod (the community based custom rom) not in the Cyanogen OS (the proprietary OS for businesses). As far as I know no OEM can release an android phone with Gapps and root. We have an option there called "OEM unlock" which will allow you to unlock your bootloader (from a computer) but nothing else that would grant root out of box.

Just flashing back to the stock recovery does not remove SuperSU. Due to your error I'm assuming you have a non-systemless root. In order to remove SuperSU you must flash http://downloadmirror.co/Uot/UPDATE-unSU.zip (with TWRP), and if that doesn't work I would recommend flashing back to full stock cyngn from: https://cyngn.com/support.
Cheers!

Thank you very much, flashing the system.img with
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fixed the issue and I was able to update my system to the latest version and since it only changed the system partition, no data (files from internal/external storage) nor apps (not even their data) were deleted. After the update I had to flash TWRP, SuperSU and Xposed again.

Thank you, but unfortunately I've read this hint after trying the unsu method described here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63615067
I've installed the unsu-zip package and flashed the original boot.img via TWRP. It did not help, but since I did this I have another warning message when booting: "The dm-verity is not started in enforcing mode."
In the end I managed to get the update by installing the original zip package again and after this the OTA update worked.
What still remains is the new "dm-verity error message" right after booting....
Does anyone know if there is anywhere I can find the files to manually update to the new AOSP based ROM. Or has Wileyfox not released it?
(Or has anyone captured the PTA link?)
There is currently no new AOSP ROM. I've received only Cyanogen OS update (probably the last one?). According the Wileyfox statement on facebook, the new ROM (Nougat) will be released in the february...

Nah they are releasing an update first to transition to their new rom.

Then later (between February and end of Q1) they will release nougat. Its an easy mistake to make as they aren't too clear about it.
Thanks anyway.
It is unclear what kind of ROM will they release. According the statement it should be bloatware free OS
AOSP, Lineage OS, something else?
I really like cyanogenmod, so I hope there will be Lineage OS ROM in the future...
The new update
Hi, I'm not in the least technologically minded so please don't take the mick when I ask, will the new update delete the cyanogen os? Or is that something I will have to do? If so, what is safe to delete without damaging my phone?
Wow, that was a couple more questions then I had thought!
Thanks all.

I had TWRP and SuperSU installed and i've tried everything but I can't install this OTA -.-" everytime i've tried it it gives me just an "ERROR".
1. I flashed the unSU zip in twrp.
2. I set the switch for stock recovery in developer options.
3 I fastboot flashed the stock recovery.img
4 I fastboot flashed the stock system.img
Then rebooted and did the update it just runs to like 20% and stops and then it shows me "ERROR" ..
Can somebody experienced help me pls This update is annoying I had to block it out of my mobile data use because it would eat up all my mobile data
EDIT: Maybe I have to relock my bootloader?

I don't think it'd be a good idea to mess with the bootloader for now. Also, I uninstalled SuperSU from the app. If you have xposed I suggest you uninstall that too (At least that's what I did). Sorry I can't help more I 'm still a little newby myself.

Sadly, an OEM cannot rely on community-driven software, so it surely won't be CyanogenMod/Lineage. But, that doesn't mean that in the future we wouldn't be able to enjoy it thanks to custom ROM development

Welcome to the community!
This depends on what you understand about 'new update'. If the new update you're talking about is the currently rolling OTA, the one that's getting prompted on every phone right now, no, that won't delete CyanogenOS yet, but prepare the device to upgrade to a CyanogenOS-free Android 7.0 ROM, which will happen in a month or so. You won't have to do anything but let the phone update each and every single time it requests it. Cyanogen itself is not something you can remove as a user, unless you install what's called a custom ROM (this means, a different ROM software than the one provided by Wileyfox), so, you don't need to worry about it but keeping your device up-to-date as soon as it prompts you with an update ^_^

Try relocking like you said, but before, flash everything included in the latest CyanogenOS fasboot image zip (from here). To flash all of them at once, execute each and every of the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash devcfg devcfg.mbn
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash keymaster keymaster.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash splash splash.img
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
Once done, relock your bootloader by doing:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Please note, this probably doesn't fully lock your bootloader, as some propietary DRM keys might've been lost during the unlock process...
Good luck and please, keep us posted!

How to download the latest update as full-sized, factory stock roms
Under Construction....
Sorry for deleting this post.
BS team never open the stock rom download site. I think we can build one, but I couldn't gather enough information.
I was able to find all my own factory stock rom OTAs including the latest, but not others due to lack of information. Further problem is that after I share how to find & download your own latest factory stock rom directly, that site is really slowed down now. Maybe lots read it, download, never share, or due to other reason... The region and ota link is enough to build the stock rom download site, but now the server is slowed down, no one shares... so I stop here.
I will re-open this if I could gather enough information.
wga0 said:
Hey guys, I realized that I neither need to provide a detailed explain nor can.
I can't attach any files, pictures, links... even I can write now. There are too much restriction.
(I must delete all links I included here You can search it in xda-dev forum)
So, here's the shortest and fastest way to root your black shark 2 global.
If anybody want a long detail, more safe way, let me know. I will add later if possible.
If something goes wrong, end to brick your phone, you can always revive that with safe way.
As you know, though safety is increased greatly (Thanks very much to a/b slot system),
but accident can happen anytime. It's on your own responsibility, at your own risk.
Pre-Requirements:
adb/fastboot drivers, Magisk Manager latest version, global OTA1 update
(I skip all the details of 3 firmware regions, payload_dumper, twrp, all others)
(Backup your data. It requires several factory reset)
Steps (also skip all detail. I wish you familiar with adb, fastboot, a/b slot)
1. Unlock the bootloader
1) fastboot oem bs2_unlock (Thanks greatly to Bave Lee)
2) fastboot oem bs2_unlock_critical (I'm not certain this is mandatory, I just do it at first)
2. flash the global OTA1 update and reboot
1) find and set active your not using slot
fastboot getvar all
fastboot set_active x
2) flash the global OTA1 images to that slot
fastboot flash partition_x partition.img (flash all of it, not partially)
fastboot reboot (It will be reboot again to do factory reset, than will boot successfully)
3. Patch the boot.img with Magisk Manager and flash it
Now, you have a working old version boot image. Patch it, flash it and reboot
4. Backup the latest, your own boot.img
Now, your phone is rooted with old version. Backup your original latest boot image
1) adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_x(your using_latest slot) of=...(any folder you prefer)/boot.img
2) copy the boot.img to your PC (with adb pull or mtp)
5. patch your own latest boot.img
1) Set back the active slot to your original slot, reboot
2) do factory reset (because of using OTA1, OTA2 update request will be remained to your current slot)
3) push the magisk manager, boot.img again and repeat the job (patch, pull out, reboot, flash and reboot again)
6. Now, you have the latest updated, rooted phone with stock & modified boot image
7. Don't forget to backup all your stock ROM before doing anything!!

If you done well, you can check the root status. It's rooted with magisk systemless root, all function's normal.
And be careful. Don't share the patched or stock boot image directly. There's multiple global version.
This is the latest version from my own black shark 2 global. It definitely different from yours.
If you flash different region version, your phone will be bricked. That's why I didn't share it and write this long method.
(If anyone want, I will explain details later with more safe way, what I did. But It's quite long way, takes long time)

You mean your revision is SKYW1911010OS00MP5. Right? If you didn't try anything to your roms, you'll have previous revision SKY1909192OS00MP4 at the inactive slot. Here is the factory boot image of it. How to root is similar as above.
Before doing, backup all your data and unlock the bootloader. In this time, unlock_critical is not needed.
1. adb reboot bootloader
2. fastboot getvar current-slot (let's assume it returns b)
fastboot set_active a <- set the opposite slot as active
3. fastboot reboot
After factory reset, this will bring you to previous revision SKYW1909192OS00MP4. Install Magisk Manager and patch the boot image.
4. adb pull /sdcard/Download/patch_boot.img (let's assume you save the image to Download directory)
5. fastboot flash boot_a patch_boot.img <- flash that patched image to same slot (you just set active)
Your phone is now rooted with previous revision. You can backup all of your latest stock rom.
6. adb shell
7. su
8. dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_b of=/sdcard/Download/boot.img <- example of boot image. For insurance, just backup all your stock roms.
Now back to your original latest slot, root your own image.
9. fastboot set_active b
and repeat the rooting again with your own roms.
As you know, adb command can be used with USB Debugging, fastboot can be used in bootloader mode.
Or... if you need all of those images, let me know. I will upload full MP4 OTA factory images for your region. You can flash this to your inactive slot and it will fix all problems during updating to MP5 to your active slot.

Root & TWRP 3.4.0 for Android 10.
Root and absolutely working TWRP 3.4.0 on Android 10!
In the new TWRP and Root installation method described below, there is no need to format the Data partition to remove the encryption.
Thanks to TWRP's built-in FB Encryption (File Based Encryption), the contents of the Data partition are available with encryption preserved. The folders on the external memory have the correct names and structure.
Temporary flaw: each new firmware requires a new TWRP.
1. Download archive for up-to-date firmware (as of 09.12.20 - QPHS30.29-Q3-28-13-6) with files for installation TWRP and Magisk Root_TWRP_QPHS30.29-Q3-28-13-6.zip
2. Extract files:
- TWRP-Q-3.4.0-parker-nemo-nemo.img to the drivers adb & fastboot folder;
- Magisk-disable-dm-verity-v20.4.zip to the SD Card.
3. Boot the phone in fastboot mode, connect it to a PC and perform the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash boot C:\adb\TWRP-Q-3.4.0-parker-nemo-nemo.img
4. After installation is complete, restart the phone in Recovery.
5. Go to the "Install" section. Click on "Select Storage" button, select Micro SD card, OK. Install Magisk-disable-dm-verity-v20.4.zip.
6. Reboot into the system.
Attention, it's important!
In case of release of new stock firmware RETEU, or you have a device for other regions, you can update TWRP yourself in the following way:
So, in order for you to have TWRP, mobile communications and Wi-Fi, you need to do the following:
- Copy to SD Card boot.img from Stok firmware archive, which is currently installed on your phone;
- Copy to the SD card twrp-installer-3.4.0-0-parker-nemo-nemo.zip;
- Follow step 3 of the basic instructions;
- Install directly in the TWRP boot.img itself under Boot;
- Install the twrp-installer;
- Install Magisk-disable-dm-verity-v20.4.zip.
Earlier versions of TWRP
QPHS30.29-Q3-28-13-2
QPHS30.29-Q3-28-13
Old Instruction:
1. Download archive with files for installation Magisk and TWRP Google Drive.
2. Extract files:
- boot_magisk_q.img to the drivers adb & fastboot folder;
- Magisk-ddmv-v20.4.apk, Magisk-disable-dm-verity-v20.4.zip, twrp-installer-3.4.0-0-parker-nemo-nemo.zip to the SD Card.
3. Boot the phone in fastboot mode, connect it to a PC and perform the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash boot C:\adb\boot_magisk_q.img
4. Reboot into the system and install Magisk-ddmv-v20.4.apk.
5. Run the application Magisk Manager, go to the "Modules" tab and select twrp-installer-3.4.0-0-parker-nemo-nemo.zip.
6. After installation is complete, restart the phone in fastboot mode and then in Recovery.
7. Go to "Wipe" section and press "Format data" for decryption. Type "Yes" on request. Go to the TWRP Main Menu and reboot again in the Recovery.
8. Go to the "Install" section. Click on "Select Storage" button, select Micro SD card, OK. Install Magisk-disable-dm-verity-v20.4.zip.
9. Reboot into the system.
Updated TWRP to firmware version QPHS30.29-Q3-28-13-2.
Hey, thanks for doing this. I'm a newbie, but I got through your instructions and it worked! At least at first. After I OEM-unlocked and installed TWRP, Android seemed to be working fine. I went into TWRP installed Magisk and when I restarted it seems my wifi (wifi mac address is "unavailable") and the service state of my radio is off. I can't figure out how to get it back on.
I tried messing around with settings in *#*#4636#*#* , no luck.
I put my sim card in an old phone and it still works (I wondered if I got locked out by my carrier?)
Think it might be connected at all or do I have a separate issue going on here?
EDIT: Nevermind - I used Lenovo's Rescue Smart Assistant and got it fixed...
Thanks!

What Software Channel intended your phone? I have a RETEU. If you have a different region, this is most likely the reason.
So, in order for you to have TWRP and work mobile communication and Wi-Fi, you need to do the following:
- from the Stock Firmware archive, which is currently installed on your phone, copy boot.img to SD Card;
- twrp-installer-3.4.0-0-parker-nemo-nemo.zip copy to SD Card (see at the attached files).
Install directly in TWRP boot.img and then install TWRP-installer.
Then reinstall Magisk-disable-dm-verity-v20.4.zip (see at the attached files) and whatever you want.
Hi do you have a way to apply OTA update without remove twrp?
Hey,
I have a brand new One Zoom here and like to root it.
Don't wanna brick it, so I have two silly noob questions:
Before performing step 3 in first post above
(fastboot flash boot C:\adb\TWRP-Q-3.4.0-parker-nemo-nemo.img)
I still have to unlock the bootloader, right???
On github, currently there is Magisk v21.1 out. Can I use this newer version or do I MUST use the version provided by ilia3367 in first post?
Thanks to all of you

Use Magisk which is in the Instruction Manual.
This is a special version of Magisk for Motorola devices.
Magisk v21.4 刷机包 Motorola 修改版 | 云梦
介绍 Motorola 有个奇怪的 hab 保护技术，这个组件会保护系统不受侵害。如果不去除这个组件，在开机状态修改系统后，重启将会还原更改，在 TWRP 下修改系统，将无法开机。所以我做了一个修改版 Magisk，以彻底去除这个东西。 注意：仅适用于 Motorola 机型。 特性 - 强制去除 dm-verit
www.htcp.net
When I flash your version of TWRP my network connections go away. I had to reflash the original boot image to get it back.
finally got it. didn't realize you had included the modified zip file in another post.
Just a report:
did the process today, worked like a charme.
One caveat: unlocking bootloader via this stupid motorola web service did not work at first; yesterday evening submitting the correct unlock string always returned "Your Device Does Not Qualify For Bootloader Unlocking"; tried exact same procedure this morning - worked immediately; so I guess this is a problem with Motorola servers.
Right now I have TWRP, Magisk and as it looks ALL smartphone functions including wifi, radio, fingerprint.
My device: Moto Zoom, reteu, build number QPHS30.29-Q3-28-13-6; it's brand new and I did not set up any lock mechanism (like fingerprint) before this process (because some people complain that their fingerprint reader does not work anymore after flashing/rooting; maybe this is a solution to that problem)
Hello, I have a problem/question.
Recently I have a notification of system update available: QPH30.29-Q3-28-13-10, Im' currently on (QPH30.29-Q3-28-13-6) with TWRP an Magisk Installed.
When I try to make the update with the normal System Update it can't apply the update (no specific error).
So I would like to make the update manually; I downloaded the full image zip from here:
lolinet mirrors - firmware, software, iso etc.
lolinet mirrors - powered by h5ai
mirrors.lolinet.com
Then I think I could flash it with MotoFlashPro (using servicefile.xml), but what are the steps to keep everything working (TWRP, Magisk, and all network and fingerprint)?
Are these correct?
So, in order for you to have TWRP, mobile communications and Wi-Fi, you need to do the following:
- Copy to SD Card boot.img from Stok firmware archive, which is currently installed on your phone; (so I have to download the current full image and use the boot.img from this one and not the new firmware?)
- Copy to the SD card twrp-installer-3.4.0-0-parker-nemo-nemo.zip;
- Follow step 3 of the basic instructions;
- Install directly in the TWRP boot.img itself under Boot;
- Install the twrp-installer;
- Install Magisk-disable-dm-verity-v20.4.zip.
Sorry for the stupid questions but I don't want to start the process and brick the phone or lose something.
Thank you
TWRP already got official, is there a small chance to see custom roms like lineage os 18 in future?
It might be common sense for some, but I didn't see this as a separate post and it might help people get around this.
Once you unlock the bootloader and root with Magisk, you can't have OTA updates from the phone itself.
But what you can do to get these updates is to use the Xperia Companion tool.
You have to go to Magisk first and click on Uninstall and choose Restore images. This will bring back your original boot image from a backup Magisk does when patching the image.
Once this is done, reboot and connect the phone with Xperia Companion. Allow file transfers through USB. No need for USB debugging.
If there's an update available, it will download and transfer it to your phone. You'll see the install process in the status bar.
Once this is done, you can reboot and verify the update was installed. Now it's time to use Magisk to patch the new boot image.
There's a good guide already made - here.
In short use XperiFirm to download the latest FW, get the boot-x... sin file, put it in the folder where you have unsin executable file and just drag it over unsin. This will produce an image file, which you copy to your phone. Start Magisk, Magisk -> Install, it will ask you where the image file is, so point to the location where you saved it.
The result file will be put in Downloads on your phone. Copy it over to your PC.
Reboot the phone to Fastboot (Volume Up and Power buttons, or turn off the phone and press Volume Up, then connect the USB cable), you'll see you're in Fastboot if the LED is blue.
Open CMD, point to the location where you have ADB files copied and type in:
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
Where magisk_patched.img is your image file, so just put in the name and location to that file.
For example: fastboot flash boot_a c:\temp\boot_X-FLASH-ALL-4BA8.img
If the command fails, type in fastboot devices and that should list one device - the phone you connected.
If no devices are listed, check if you have the drivers for your phone. The article link above lists all driver and utilities downloads.
I've used newflasher and it soft bricked my phone. Maybe it's something I did wrong, but using the above is way easier and safer, in my opinion.
Hope it helps you too!
i tried your guide, and magisk don`t have backup of boot,
Was there any sort of an error message from Magisk?
It worked straight out for me.
Can't find Magisk's backup folder though, so I can see what I have inside.

Emm, ok, what was the error message? I can guess one or two, but better ask than assume the wrong thing.

I did't deal with blocking the bootloader, but I expressed my thoughts
Let's see if someone else has the same issue.
I found Magisk uses root/data/magisk_backup_xxxxxxxxx folders, where xxxx is a combination of numbers and letters. There's a boot image copy in there.
When I flashed my magsik patched boot file, I had to factory reset my phone, otherwise on boot android would tell me my file system is currupt.
Any ideas why that might be?

reflash with newflasher and use 2.4,3 of magisk ad\nd upgrade from that point

I'm not 100% sure what all that means.
What's ad/nd?
And I'm not sure what 2.4,3 means in regards to magisk
Pretty sure that was a typo and they meant "and". Plus the magisk Number is the variant for example I'm on 25.2 which should be the latest one...

Going through relock and using xperia companion to update is way too slow, inefficient and you loose your data in the mean time.
Just download latest fw from xperifirm, get the new bootimage (unsin ), magisk it, flash the whole fw with new flasher in flash mode (usb + vol down), goto fastboot, flash magisk boot image, reboot, done !
You've lost 0 data, didn't lost root, and you have the new fw
That's nice, but bootlocker remains unlocked during the procedure I wrote about. Therefore no data is lost in the process.
I used newflasher before and softbricked my phone.
And it's always good to have an alternative.
All of the options are way too complicated, compared to using TWRP. But we sadly don't have custom recovery.

I don't get how you soft bricked with newflasher, bad firmware maybe ? model crossflashing ?
I've always used newflasher since it's out, before I was using flashtool by androixyde and didn't had issues too
It stopped on the very last step. To be honest the first time I used FW for another region. When I realized that, I tried flashing the proper one, but newflasher always stopped on the very last step. Can't recall what it was checking or verifying for.
Today LSposed was updated and I ended up in bootloop. As @fastbooking was saying why not use newflasher. So I did. And I ended up exactly where I was before.

Try an usb 2.0 port maybe
I tried everything the guys proposed on the newflasher xda thread. Sadly it made no difference. I tried different USB ports, cables, Windows, Linux... I'm giving up on an otherwise app with a great potential.

hi, I have some questions, could you please help me explain:
1. Uninstalling magisk and rebooting backup boot image will wipe device data?
2. If I can't find back up of boot image, can I use the one downloaded from Xperifirm with the same build number of my device?
3. Is there any other way to update ota without haveing to reset device. Thanks

Hi,
1. This won't wipe the device data nor change any system or user apps.
2. Yes, you can use a boot image of the same FW version as the one installed on the phone.
I even did it with a different version, by a mistake, and the phone booted OK. But I don't know what might go wrong so I can't recommend this.
3. OTA doesn't work with the patched by Magisk boot image. So you need to replace the image with the original one, restart, apply the OTA (via Xperia Companion), restart, replace with the patched file of the new FW boot image.
This process doesn't reset your data as it's on another partition. If you have a custom boot animation (the first one), it might be lost.
If we had a full TWRP support, the whole process would have been way easier. Developers are trying to get it to work, for which I'm grateful even if it doesn't work at the end.
