hello,
i need a suggestion for a ROM that should have the following properties:
root should be switchable (on/off) and hidden
saftynet should be OK
security Patchlevel less March 2017
These things are needed to play pokemonGo, yes i know this time and effort for a game but i like it.
so help is very appreciated
If you root via Magisk it can hide root and pass safetynet so long as you're not using Xposed, which you should be able to do on any ROM of choice
If you need Xposed you can use the Magisk systemless module, and turn it off and on as required
Build it yourself? The people on xda aren't your rom-maker-slaves. Figure out yourself.
@000Nick: i dont be searching for slaves only for People which are smart enough to help others. (i'm not to be able to build my own)
@Beanvee7: i had many problems with a superman rom and magisk. result was a bootloop, recover to stock and 2 days of work and cold sweat.
That's because i ask for help and recommendation for a ROM that fulfilled my expectations.
in the past i am using a CM13_by_temasek for my S3 and it work like a charm, now i am searching the same for my S7 but it seems to be much harder to find something that works the same easy way.
I use superman with magisk, so can't offer reasons why it would bootloop
@Beanvee7: maybe my own foolishness.
1. i install cfautoroot with ODIN
2. i install TWRP manager from playstore and installed TWRP
3. i installed Superman ROM 1.9.1
till then all worked fine
then i tried to switch off root in Superuser. in Superuser it shows me "deactivated" but every App could become root.
next try was to activate magisk hide but it doesnt hide root. i tested with saftynet check and in any Android test app (come with superman) shows me root too
next i checked the unload "superuser module" (only unload not delete) in magisk manager, this removes root but saftynet test is still not OK
next i tried to activate the load of the superuser module but thats not possible.
after that, i reboot to recovery and now i got errors and run into a loop shows me something about FRP Lock
nothing else worked than going to download mode and flashing a stock Rom back.
and all of that, including the restore of all my apps and configure many things that could not restored (twice) busy me for two days.
possibly i selected the wrong options in aroma installer but i have no idea what i made wrong and why it doesnt work for me (hide root and let saftynet be OK)
but i do not want to try it again if i am not sure to do it for a last time because it is to much time i have to spend for that.
and every time i loose a little bit of my apps/gamescores and so on.

Why should someone do this for you? No one owes you a custom ROM, and you're not offering anything in return. Figure out how to get this setup yourself, or a pay a capable dev to do this for you.

i dont ask somebody to build a ROM for me and i am sorry about if i had not clearly described it in my first post.
i only ask for a suggestion of a rom that fulfilled my needs.
but i wonder why i am attacked by you because i ask friendly for that little hint.

The way you worded it suggests that you need a rom custom mode for you. You said you need a "special rom" which would be the incorrect thing to say if there are other time like it.
@YMNDLZ: yes, you are right, my wording is a little bit misleading
i revised it in my first post and hope it is better now.
thanx for your advise.
Greetings,
I hope this is the right section. I can't find one for the Honor 6A device i own https://www.mediamarkt.de/de/product/_honor-6a-16-gb-grau-dual-sim-2309221.html
I am trying to root my phone. But it seems twrp and supersu do not support my device. So i wanted to try Magisk https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Since it seems it does not have a supported devices list, i thought it might works on every device.
However in the Magisk Guide, it says i need a "stock boot image dump", to create one, i installed adb. But every guide i try, is not working. My phone is NOT ROOTED yet.
Right now im trying it on my ubuntu 16.04, but i can switch to a windows in case you have a guide that requires windows.
Can someone help me? I really want to root my phone to get rid of google apps and install a firewall to block all requests to google and more.
Regards, Vincent
Hey everyone -
I have a Fire HD 10 (2017 model) that is successfully rooted with SuperSU. I am wondering if anyone has figured out how to gain root access with Magisk? All the tutorials I have found regarding the switch from SuperSU to Magisk involve flashing some zips in TWRP, which we can't do. Has anyone figured it out?
Ultimately, I'm trying to get DirecTV Now to work, but it doesn't play nicely with rooted devices. The Hide My Root app used to work, but it has stopped. If we can't get Magisk to work, I'd at least be happy if someone has advice on getting DirecTV Now working again!
I tried flashing Magisk 16.0 with 15.3 installer today and got stuck in bootloop. It flashed but would just boot to amazon logo over and over. Have a Ti Backup but it sucks. I'm sure there's a way through adb. I'm still learning. I wanna know the best way to flash any zip in general cause without FF TWRP or some other custom recovery im lost. I'm assuming you'd have to uninstall SuperSu anyhow. My 2 cents. Rebuilding new ROM now, I love spending hours doing the same thing ?. In hindsight I get better each time and find new hacks tricks etc.
You might be able to use tasker with a variation of the code in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/microsoft-intune-company-portal-t3611588/page12

Hide Rooting V1.7 is working for me. I rooted yesterday then realized Dtv now stopped working and had to scramble to fix it. So far that's the answer.

Sorry for any revival, but is that really possible? I don't really think so, because Magisk, is by definition Systemless, meaning that it doesn't affect the system in any way, but modifies the boot.img. And modifying the boot.img even a tiny bit results in a bootloop, because it fails signature verification. I would be glad to hear any ideas because when we manage to get our Amazon tablet rooted, I would prefer Magisk over anything as I always did, because it is open source and systemless.
Today I successfully rooted my HD8 2016 with SuperSu permanently. Install Magisk Manager but hesitate to install Magisk as afraid of boot loop. Is there any solution to "flash" audio mods zip files without Magisk or TWRP?

This is an unrelated question.

So far no. But don't worry. The HD 10 can be unlocked, it's just a matter of its done. Unfortunately, we don't have it easy. The HD 10 is built sorta convoluted. It's 64 but in some cases, 32 in the rest. Something's can't pick up on it. I have a thing or two I am working on. Unfortunately I am dead in the water PC wise until after 10 am. I need a new mouse. And I don't have a spare.
If anyone wants to help... mediatek uses their own fastboot executable, mtboot.exe. I still need to gather all the files to build it and or the binary (they aren't in the right places at all). But it would be nice if the mtboot.exe could be located somewhere on the web.
Also in the Amazon source code for the kernel, they left a potential honey pot. Datool, also known as fbtool. They left the module in their source, and I can't figure out why. In the source it lists some usb props, vendor and product IDs and lists three boot modes: unknown, brom, and preloader. It's also tied into sp flash tool somehow. When you compile the datool at the mediatek source, it will put the tablet into preloader mode. So prehaps it can also put it in brom. But if we can get datool to do a proper dump, we might be able to get SP flash tool working.
That's been my findings the past few days.
Now when I get a mouse, hopefully I will have the first test rom built today.

Sorry, this might be a stupid question. I am new to Magisk Manager.
Did you install both SuperSU and Magisk Manger on HD8 2016? Which one is managing the root access of APPs? How does it work?

The only thing we have available at the moment for flashing is flash fire, on the HD 10. I have magisk on a few devices. It's pretty cool once you get the hang of it. It's different and took me a while to get to the point of liking it. I think it will be amazing on the HD 10 because the hardware is great. I haven't tried it on my fire 7 yet. I don't have a rooted HD 8.

No, it's not. Same way many (arguably most) 64-bit devices behave in a 32/64 hybrid world. Someday 'everything' Android will be 64-bit or greater with 32-bit being religated to history - much 8/16-bit is today. Not there yet, especially on economy devices using older hardware. Amazon is not doing anything weird.

Only SuperSu manage the root access. Magisk manager without Magisk installed is only an app.

The SuperSu do the root management. Magisk manager is great on my phone, but it creates disaster on my HD 8 when testing the Magisk installing from the Manager. It made my HD8 boot loop at Amazon logo, no way to boot. I have to sideload the stock ROM then rooting again.

Wondering if your still looking into fbtool - I think your right about its potential in fixing bricks/installing roms. Got a link to the mtboot source still?
Brainstorming how to unbrick patched Fire 7's here:
Fire 7 (2019, mustang) unbrick, downgrade, unlock & root
Make sure to read this guide completely before starting. You will lose all data on the tablet, make a backup of important data before you start. What you need: - a Linux installation. Don't use a VM! Use a live USB, if you don't have Linux...
forum.xda-developers.com
Currently thinking about fbtool and a custom lineage compile, with hacked secureboot, fastboot enabled lk.bin and a preloader which skips rpmb. Further info on mtk's fastboot implementation would be useful.
So yeah, I hate asking questions here because people tend to get hateful pretty quick if the answer is somewhere else.
Knowing this, I'm asking the question because I can't seem to find the correct answer anywhere.
What versions of magisk work with our device? I'm on 16 now but my daughter's Pokémon go isn't working and I found I need 16.3. Does it work?
Again, please don't set me on fire. A simple answer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks folks.
I'm using 16.4 and manager 5.7.0. works with anything here on my Pixel. I don't use removal tool. Or use patch boot tool either. Works on Dp3 also.
There's a bunch of articles on reddit of how to do this spoofing method, but as far as i can tell, none of them are for OP6. I'm trying not to soft brick my phone. I'm able to turn gps joystick into a system app and use magisk hide, but I don't see an expert mode anywhere. Has anyone succefully completed this? If so could you please tell me how.
Thanks
