I have tried installing Magisk Beta: v15.3 (code: 1531) both ways and it fails with a boot loop
Bug report here
Hi, thanks for your great work. I am asked for a password to decrypt data upon entering twrp. Any workaround to avoid restoring-formatting?
bootloop

I tryed to install magisk too and also ended up with a bootloop, so it don`t seems it does not work on the K6 ,or maybe we made a procedure error????
maybe it would be helpfull to make a tutorial how to flash and install Magisk ( if it really works)??

For those trying to get Magisk to work on the K6 the latest Magisk doesn't work, However Magisk 14 works perfectly so get Magisk 14 it took me a while to figure it out so I tried 14 and it worked!

I followed magisk install precisely and even cooked my boot.img with superr's kitchen so I'm pretty sure I have found a bug with magisk, which by the way is the beta version 15.3(1531) here . My findings so far require me to dig deeper and send in some logs from a twrp install attempt to the magisk dev.

I guess the device isn't able to read your sim card properly then.
Just to double check, tell us the steps you are doing to save the APN.

Nope, you can't. LTE Bands are hardcoded on ALL devices and can't be modified.
MT6763 supports lte band 5 and band 40 , band 41, but firware doesn't allow it why?? False info given on official site that it suppports volte, it doesnt my previous leeco le 2 used to support volte for my sim, this one wont, it only supports data.....and most of the time switches off automatically in idle mode(when not using) every time i have to start again, but if screen is on it wont get switch off automatically, really this is weird phone...any solution??

The chipset doesn't matter, the manufacturer provides a list of the supported bands, picture attached below. You must have checked it before.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As regards VoLTE, even though it supports it, it doesn't necessarily mean that your carrier accepts it on its network.
Ok but what may be the cause for auto switch off....if v get custom rom will v get other band support??
Thank you very much for your interest,
On my OIKITEL K6,
after inserting SIM card in slot 1,
I did it like this.
1.setting
2. more
3.mobile network
4.APNs
5. + (new APN)
6.editing : Name
7.editing : APN
8.editing : MMSC
9.editing : MMS port
10.editing : MCC
11.editing : MNC
12. tap 3 dots at top right
13. tap SAVE
and there's only one list of EMERGENCY CALL, and no list what I just saved.
So, I changed another SIM card which is working on another android smart phone, and it happens same situation.
And when the SIM card is moved into other (originally used) phone, it works well.
Two SIMs are same.
My SIM card also works well at my former android phone at now.
Please give me some more TIPs...
Thank you.

Here is Unofficial ArrowOS 9.x:good:
Download ROM
Changelog is too big for xda, so it's included in download folder.
If you are using Global /China Stable or third party rom (Xiaomi.eu), please download China Developer from here (search for "小米MIX3最新 开发版 线刷Fastboot完整包点击下载") and flash it, then flash PE system.img.
It seems current stable rom has some bugs in vendor or firmware (e.g. Google Camera is laggy).
Working:
Camera (including 4K video)
Wi-Fi
Bluetooth (audio, in-call audio)
GPS
NFC
Dual SIM, Dual 4G standby
VoLTE

AOD
Not working:
Slider (actually it's working, but no app to handle)
OK Google detection in any screen
Bluetooth call for some users/devices
Android Auto (display flickering)
Mobile data on some carrier
Google Pay should work if you use MagiskHide, but I can't test since my country (Japan) uses hardware level security (exclusive for Japanese models) for payment via Google Pay.
Installation:
1. Flash the latest *Official* China Developer ROM (xiaomi.eu rom is not supported)
(If you are using other roms before, please wipe data)
2. Download and flash ZIP in TWRP
3. Flash Magisk v17.3
4. Reboot and profit!

I like the quickstep launcher more because of the swipe down for the notifications gesture etc. Pixel launcher doesn't provide that right?
Arrow ROM is really great and smooth!
If i came from pixel experience i just factory reset it then flash or need to flash again the chinese developer rom for a stable gcam?

The zip rom file works great!
Congrats for your efforts dev!
Now if we have an app for the slider to work(like open camera) it would be great
The rom seems very good.....and fluid
Also there is a poco miui cam port for aosp based roms.Already there is mi8 magisk zip.....I dont know if it is easy to work on mi mix 3
Are there any changes from the most recent system image vs. this new Zip?
Hi, i've just installed HavocOS 3.5 GSI on my A7 2018 aka A750FN , EVERYTHING WORKS except for:
- Bluetooth in-call audio
(bluetooth works just for music and system audio but not for calls)
- Fingerprint Gestures
(fingerpring scanner works for unlocking but gestures don't)
- No face unlock
(absent in security section)
Steps i used to flash the GSI:
1) Flashing Samsung's Stock firmware(Pie - so i have aonly)
2) Flashing TWRP
3) Format data(so i can mount it)
4) Wipe Dalvik/Cache/Data/System
5) Flash Quantum Stock v4 through TWRP
6) Boot it for the first time
7) Execute a factory reset through TWRP
8) Flash Quantum_Kernel_GSI_v3 through TWRP
9) Flash GSI and Magisk
I've tried both LineageOS v17.1 and HavocOS v3.4(3.5
What can i do to fix these issues?
Thanks!
- Bluetooth in-call audio
(bluetooth works just for music and system audio but not for calls)
- Fingerprint Gestures
(fingerpring scanner works for unlocking but gestures don't)
- No face unlock

I think there's a fix for these problems. You can search it here.

Yes, i will make an updated guide showing how to install this GSI with updated Kernel.
Then YES, it's perfect for daily usage, OBVIOUSLY it depends on which GSI you choose and on which kernel you're on!
ATM you can choose between Quantum_Kernel_GSI_v3 and Quantum_quack_v1
to me, the first one goes fine but the second one is mean to be better...

Well I do not own a snapdragon device so i dont know, if you ever get stuck in a bootloop , download ozip from realme website & boot to stock recovery and flash ozip via stock recovery
Does it work on Android 11?
It worked, but I want make sure if it's completely safe, or could you tell me where to back up the port app from which realme model
Useless instruction.
Does not work even on Mediatek (Realme 7 5 G, Mediatek Dimensity 800, Android 10)
It works on poco x3 noroot and no unlocked bootloader
I've unlocked bootloaders, installed Magisk and installed plenty of custom ROMs on different phones,
but this Poco X3 NFC has been just a bit 'annoying' from the beginning (ie. I had to try many different ways * before ability to 'register' for unlocking the bootloader, and then had to wait 7-days to actually do that )
Now, I just want to know how to get Magisk working ?
Currently I'm on MiUI ROM (but I will install AICP or CrDroid, in a few days),
and trying to install Magisk on this now.
I've got TWRP installed but Magisk doesn't have flashable .ZIPs,
because Magisk has moved to the .APK manager now.
So, in Magisk Manager, it asks me to patch a file, but which file would this be ?
How to get Magisk v23 installed on this Android 11-based MiUI ROM ?
Thanks.

I had to:
- register a Xiaomi account (this must be logged on the phone)
- put in a SIM card, with data activated (this must be enabled, to get the Xiaomi account working)
- send a SMS, to verify the number (Xiaomi checks/logs/records multiple levels of my identity)
- download a Xiaomi tool to unlock the bootloader (Xiaomi's tool did not work & I had to find one, from Github (and XDA) )
I have unlocked bootloaders on Samsung, Motorola, Oneplus, Asus … and Xiaomi is the most annoying, intrusive and cumbersome unlocking.

Moreover, latest TWRP build from brigudav can do it for you -- look at "Advanced" options...

Very good.
Yes, thank you.
I tried this and it was easy,
ie. to go into TWRP (by Brigudav) --> Advanced Options --> Install Magisk
Simple and effective.
My next issue then, was finding out,
that in TWRP, if I wanted to install TWRP.img (in phone's storage) ,
all files/folders in SDCARD were "encrypted" but I don't have lockscreen or PIN pattern turned on.
What causes this 'encryption' ?
Same here, it's the default on recent Android systems, it seems -- and can also be checked by entering the following in a terminal:
$ getprop | grep encrypt
You need to reset to factory setings in TWRP after removing any types of pin, or pattern lock.
