Good day everybody,
A few questions about upgrading my pixel 3 from 9 to 10. To preface I have an unlocked bootloader and am rooted on the June 2019 version of android. I would like to update to android 10 and am wondering if one of my modifications to the build.prop would still work. I use the following modification for enabling hotspot:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
Can anybody confirm that this still works on Android 10?
Also, huge noob question - Where is the guide for updating from 9 -> 10 with root/unlock, and do I lose my data in the process? I can't seem to find anything but how to sideload monthly updates.
Thank you in advance for any help
To edit /system or /vendor you need to use magisk and do it systemlessly. A10 no longer allows you to directly modify these partitions. There is some discussion about exactly what you want to change under the guides section in the Pixel 3xl forum. For the second one, there is a guide somewhere in the guides section in this forum. You will need to do a full wipe with a version change. Look into different ways to back up your stuff before you switch. For apps and app data I did a twrp backup before switching then used titanium backup once on A10 to extract the app/data and restore it. For other stuff you might need to do it manually.
Follow this method for the Magisk based tethering modification:

Hi Folks,
I just bought a new device and the seller was nice enough (doh!) to install Android 10 on it. The known way to root up to Android 9 on PX5 and PX6 devices[1] would work here too it seems, at least with minor modifications. I guess the partitions layout, fs-overlay and... stuff... did change a bit, but it was rather straight-forward to implement nevertheless. Enabling ADB over WIFI, adb connect, adb shell remount / and /system rw, moving old su, pushing new su, su --install, pushing SuperSU.apk, correcting permissions, reboot and the system bugs about "app might be for an older version of android, it might not work correctly" and right, nothing root related works. It is like all root requests end in a nirvana and no error messages are generated.
So my guess would be that just a newer su-binary or newer SuperSU.apk (or both) it might just work. I know chainfire left the supersu-team but I am unsure about the implications. Advice here? What about Magisk? I really don't care, I just need root for some apps and general tinkering here and there. Any help appreciated.
regards

EDIT: here is a rooting tool for px6 https://github.com/KswCarProject/KswRooting
Were you able to figure this out? I just bought a px6 android 10 unit since it was a decent bit cheaper than the ones advertising android 9. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001090563068.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.398a4c4dP5ASrt
Ideally I would like to downgrade to either the Malaysk or Hal9k_ pie roms until a cleanded and optimized android 10 rom is released.

That's basically the same recipe for rooting PX* on Android 9, but crappier implemented (overwrites stuff without creating a backup first). It is no tool, it is just some adb commands gobbled together in a DOS/Windows batch-file, accompanied by Windows-adb-binaries and an arm64 su-binary. Nothing I need. Nothing I don't already have. The su-binary is even identical to the one shipped with the rooting-package for Android 9. The one thing I do need is missing: superuser.apk that actually works on Android 10. Or how does one manage root-access for apps afterwards? At least the guy claims his "package" works on Android 10, so that might be an indication that the su-binary is sane and sound, one thing I can scratch from the bucketlist to get root.
Really weird mix of stuff. No idea if the guy is trustworthy, but mixing the adb-binaries in looks... weird.

Figure what out? And at least for me, I don't hunt for cheap, I hunt for good support. That's why I payed almost 400€ for a PX6 device, just to get better support.

Same here. I asked the seller if he can provide an Android 9 firmware for my device and I am sure he will provide it. Then I can see if I go Malaysk again or stay stock for the moment.
Hello. I own Ownice Android 10, MTCP-OLS-PX6. After all, isn't there a valid rooting method so far?
I bought a CAT S61, and it came with Android 8.1.0 and after configuring it all and using it for about 10 days, the system detected the update to Android 9. The system seems to be working in the background and downloading the new version ( + 1GB) as it reported that the update was paused due to low battery! Well I wanted to ask what is the best version, 8.1.0 or version 9 of Android for this phone? I would also have to stop (I'm keeping the phone on low battery so I don't update), cancel this update because I prefer to stay on version 8.1.0 for now. Version 9 of Android I think a lot of artificial intelligence has been introduced in the system and I don't think that's cool.
I have the MTK6889 Note 30 Plus it has a 10 core Processor 1440x1340 graphics 512 gigs storage and 12 gigs of ram dual sim cards micro sd card add on sounds Great Huh? well in there lies the problem it says it comes with android 10 pre installed and it does a custom version of it android 10 and lollyPop 4.1 so what i want to know is can i wipe this phone which is an unlocked phone and install android 11 on it and have a somewhat decent phone because right now it sucks and it even has a 48 mp rear camra and i believe the front is like 13 i really like the phone but because of the way they set it up it does not work right at all like it tells me im running out of storage space when there is over 500 gigs blank and i cant have updated programs because it wont download them saying not compatable its crazy.
Never heard that an Android phone comes with with 2 Android versions installed - as you say Android 4.1 & Android 10 - unless it would be a dual-boot phone.
No its not a dual boot phone but it does have a custom built android 10 whom ever built the phone must have had some things that her or she liked from 4.4.1 lolypop i was going through a bunch of the files and aplications last night and it has lollypops UI or something i just want a normal phone that works with android 10 or 11 i mean this phone has some great properties about it just not the Operating system can you help me set it up better?

Hi FrankL5862,
I'm familiar with the issue, also got a bricked "Note30 Plus" and an also Chinese clone of "S21 Plus 5G".
The Android OS is made into a custom ROM of Lollipop 5.1.1 thats the base Android OS. While they say it's
a Android OS 10 or 11 version they also cheated about the other specifications... You can easely check it with
"Droid Hardware Info" or "Device Info HW" both apps are available as APK-file or in the Google Playstore.
So basicly the smartphone is fake cause of the specs... But it is nice to play around with it and use it to get
more of the control of MediaTek based machine
Can maybe anyone get for me the firmware for the "Maimeite Note30 Plus MT6572" and for the "S21 Plus 5G MT6580"? Haven't found them yet...

did u ever get an answer to this question
you need to grab
Android 11
/system/priv-app/DocumentsUI ( + oat dir)
and copy it to
Android 12
/system/priv-app/DocumentsUI ( + oat dir)
(apparently PowerAmp's SAF breaks this)
tho magisk NoStorageRestrict module gets around this

i am Totally disappointed..
i am Blaming my self because i sold my android 10 Version phone where i can use any app.. now i have android 12 version phone where only some apps work.
which thing i copy from android 11 ?
Try this
But as stated above
magisk NoStorageRestrict module gets around this
Meaning it does this correctly so SAF (storage access framework) does not break with certain apps
