Hello, I've seen a lot of community members struggling to install custom ROMs, GApps, Magisk or DolbyAtmos, so I've created a guide. So did I, this took me around 15 tries without bootlooping or breaking my OS. Yes, I was really new at this. Some guides had broken English that I couldn't understand, others were too complicated.
However, now I am presenting you a fully working, detailed (and easy) guide. Hopefully, it'll help at least someone to avoid potential mistakes when flashing or using root. Good luck!
(If you don't install TWRP, the GApps version will mismatch!)
(Probably not anymore, needs a confirmation.)

@SmallTarzan
Very nice guide. Appreciate it...
I want to ask something.. I am not a LOS fan. I won't flash too. Asking this question for some of my whatsapp friends... My question is...
They have already permanent TWRP installed. So do they need to install twrp installer again? With that A/B slot trick?

I'm not a developer but I'll try to answer your question as well as I can. By logical thinking and my personal experience, I've came to this conclusion: (Don't take me by word, I might not be totally right!)
If you are coming from stock, Android 8.0, you shouldn't need to flash TWRP again.
If you are coming from Nougat, 7.1.2, you'll need to reflash TWRP again.
If you are coming from other custom ROMs, you shouldn't need to flash TWRP again.
With that said,
I've always reflashed my TWRP with the latest one provided for the ROM I was installing at the moment, just in case.
About that A/B trick, when I was flashing the first LineageOS version, I needed to use the A/B partition trick.
However, in the latest one released on 13/03, I needn't. (I didn't try the version released on 8th March.)

That depends. First, check if is your internal storage encrypted. If it is, you'll need to wipe it.
There might be workarounds on the forum, but I, personally, haven't tried those, yet.

Thanks for the guide

Not sure if permissive script is needed for dolby atmos, dolby works well on my MiA1 without this script because this rom is already with permissive sellinux... Thank you for your help, it will sure be helpfull. You should try Dual Speaker mod if you haven't got it on your phone.

Is it alright to flash LOS15.1 from stock Nougat or is it a prerequisite to upgrade to stock Oreo before flashing LOS15.1?
Thanks.

The magisk's permissive script isn't needed, since LOS 15.1 is already in the permissive state. However, if you'd accidentally/purposely change your SELinux status, the DolbyAtmos would break and you'd possibly face audio issues.

There's no need to upgrade to Android 8.0 Oreo first, you delete all files in /system anyway. You can directly flash to 8.1. Don't forget to reflash your TWRP!

Follow the steps in the DOLBY ATMOS section. Copy required files to your device and start from step 4.
Download the Dolby Atmos and magisk's permissive script here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NL_Sq2q05L6RyZQSGsPam3HrGoEoOesY

Be carefull with dualspeaker mod if you use it with dolby atmos.
You must change the volume value manually to 80 maxi (default is 84) in the file...
Read carefully thze original post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/themes/mod-xiaomi-mi-a1-soundmod-dualspeaker-t3741675

The installation's process and some details [TWRP, ROOT, GAPPS]
Hey!
I finally install and run the beta on my device. The process is very simple and easy to follow:
1. Get the stock rom on your device without root. You will have to do a full wipe of your data and cache from the Recovery. If you have installed a GSI (as me) you can simply use the Unbrick Tool shared on XDA. After that, just flash from a OTG device in the stock recovery the rom. It should install normally (I did it about three times). Let the device restart normally and configure it.
2. At this point, you will have your device working with the android 10 beta without Google Services and root. To get them, follow the next steps. In the developer's settings enable the usb depuration and reboot into the bootloader menu (if you are here, you don't need a guide to do this).
Once in the bootloader, you will have to type the next commands from a PC:
Code:
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX629J
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [URL="https://forum.xda-developers.com/red-magic-3/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-nubia-red-t3962482"]twrp.img[/URL]
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
You can extract the vbmeta.img from the package of the beta.
You should can boot the custom recovery without problems. There is an importante failure at this point. I can't acces to the data of the sdcard of my device. It could be a problem if you flash a wrong module in magisk and you can't delete it from the recovery.
To get the gapps working and root in the device, flash the "pico" package from the open gapps project page and flash the last version of magisk (maybe this could be the cause of the encrypted data in the twrp, I will be experimenting other options (the most evident thing is that the recovery is not the correct ones for this rom).
3. Just reboot the device and enjoy the new android 10 experience on Red Magic 3. You shold be able to proceed to finish the setup and install all the apps you want. The are some things that didn't work for me: some syncs with the google account (Google Keep, Calendar, etc.), auto-rotation (gyroscope), the music notification panel, various notifications, etc. You can't recover your apps and data from a past backup, the rom doesn't give the storage permission to the Google Play Services, so that's the problem. Just install them from the playstore. You will have to reboot one time before use the play store normally.
I hope the developers of Nubia could make a fully working global rom for this great device. Until then, we have this new option to get the best experience of RM3.
Important: If you just don't like the rom and you would like to downgrade to android 9, you will have to use the unbrick tool in order to avoid a softbrick caused by the anti-rollback system. I tried and it works, but after the program finished the unbrick process the phone started to boot into a black screen, only lighting up the led in a green colour. It was strange and I believed that my phone was bricked without possibility to recover it. After a few tries to reboot the device pressing the power button, I was able to boot without problems into the 2.07 global rom europe version.

Can I install this on red magic 3s?

does anyone know gyro solution for this ROM just missing that so you can use as daily ROM
Enviado de meu Pixel 2 XL usando o Tapatalk

Hi. I just installed the rom without formatting the phone and the code of the screen lock that was previously 6 figures has become 4 and they are not the first 4 of the previous one.
Does anyone know what it can be or am I going to have to format it?

Thank you for your useful post. After reading it, I tried the ROM myself, with about the same results. Then I used the unbrick tool to reverse to Android 9.
Things that didn't work for me in the beta:
- Bluetooth kept restarting every 10 seconds, I couldn't use my Bluetooth headset
- Some incompatibility between the ROM and GAPPS, Google Play working only on occasions; after installing some stuff some apps refused to start ( Phone, Settings, Outlook etc).
It was an interesting experience, but it can't be used as the daily driver, at least not for me.

[GUIDE]Rooting, EDXposed and SafetyNet for Realme C12

Before doing anything to device, keep a copy of Stock ROM from here in your PC or SD Card.
Rooting with Magisk
Tutorial:
The procedure is the same whether you're on the stock RealmeUI Rom or on a custom GSI (treble) one or on a custom ROM.
Step 0 - Go to extracted platform tools folder in your PC and Shift + Right Click and choose Open Command Window here and connect the device to PC.
Step 1 - Boot to Recovery with adb reboot recovery and run below commands in command prompt by connecting the device to PC
Code:
adb root
adb pull /dev/block/by-name/boot boot.img
adb reboot
After running after commands you will get boot.img in your platform tools folder of PC. Copy the boot.img to mobile.
Note:- Above commands won't work if you are on GSI/custom ROM rom with stock recovery. So flash TWRP and follow above to get boot.img or use root debugging in ROM if available.
Step 2 - Download and install the latest Magisk app from here on your phone.
Click on the latest Magisk-vX.Y.apk you see in the list to start the download, open the file and install.
Step 3 - On your phone, open up Magisk app.
Click the Magisk Install button as shown below.
Then Select and Patch a File.
Go look for your boot.img you previously copied to your phone and pick it.
Click Let's go! and wait for Magisk to complete the process!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 4 - Link your phone to your PC, and grab the file the Magisk app created. It's located in your downloads folder, called magisk_patched_blAh.img.
Step 5 - Paste it where your ADB & Fastboot (Platform Tools) are located, along with the vbmeta.img by downloading from here.
You should now have a folder like this with:
adb(.exe)
fastboot(.exe)
magisk_patched.img
vbmeta.img
Extra files from the platform tools
Step 6 - Link your phone to your PC with the USB cable if not done already.
Step 7 - Shift + Right click in an empty space inside the folder we prepared in Step 7, and click Open Command window here.
Inside the Command window, input the following commands line by line, in order.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
And make sure your device shows up, should be a bunch of numbers and letters, a couple spaces, and fastboot.
If nothing does, go back to Step 7 and try again.
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_blAh.img
fastboot reboot
You're done! Your phone will reboot, hopefully, without a hitch! Open up Magisk app, and check that it's installed.
That said, you will have issues leaving it like this. You need to hide the fact that your phone is rooted, there's no downside to doing it.
Check out the Passing SafetyNet tutorial further down below, it's quick and easy.
For more info, see official Magisk installation instructions at https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
Passing SafetyNet (Only possible with Magisk. Not with SuperUser on GSI's)
Tutorial:
Enable Magisk Hide inside Magisk app's settings and Install Universal SafetyNet Fix module.
Reboot and enjoy! You're all set and SafetyNet should pass just fine.
Q: Hey, I rooted/edXposed my phone, and now Netflix won't even open, or doesn't work properly, what's up with that?
A:
Well, fortunately, there's an easy fix if you have Magisk. Install the liboemcrypto disabler Magisk module, activate it and reboot.​
Credits:-
@Akitake for his guide at here

Now we have root.
We can uninstall system apps with below command in Termux
Code:
su
pm uninstall --user 0 <package_name>
We can use Package Viewer app to know package names.
Getting EDXposed
Spoiler: Click to Show content
Tutorial:
I very much discourage to EdXposed your phone unless you have a very good reason for it.
It's a pain to pass SafetyNet.
It doesn't get updated often.
It has very niche use cases for which it's actually worth it.
That said, I explain it here for people who know what they're getting into and want instructions on how to do it.
This procedure requires to be rooted with Magisk.
Step 1
Inside Magisk app, go to the Modules tab.
Click the search button (bottom right) and search Riru.
Install the Riru module by Rikka.
Activate it and Reboot.
Step 2
Download and install the latest EdXposed Manager, the same way you did with Magisk app when rooting.
Step 3
Open it up, go to the ALPHA tab and click install/update.
It'll start a file download.
Step 4
Go back to Magisk app, Modules tab, except this time click Install from Storage.
Point to the .zip file you just got, located in the Downloads folder of your phone.
At the end of the installation, click reboot.
Step 5
Let's double check your installation is operational.
Go to EdXposed Manager, first tab.
It should say EdXposed Framework is active.
You're done!
You should now be able to install EdXposed modules.
That said, you will have issues with certain apps leaving it like this.
You should to hide the fact that your phone is EdXposed.
Check out the Passing SafetyNet tutorial further down below!
For more info, see https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...or-of-xposed-oreo-pie-q-r-2020-07-19.4070199/
Passing SafetyNet With EDXposed installed
Tutorial:
Again, I highly recommend not EdXposing your phone and sticking to just Magisk if you can help it.
You should also know that this method will show you're passing SafetyNet inside Magisk but it's a pain to do and isn't as well hidden as Magisk alone.
Step 1 - Do the step for Rooted phones listed above if not done already.
Step 2 - In EdXposed Manager, get the HiddenCore Module and activate it.
Step 3 - Now, in the side-menu: Compat List > tick HiddenCore Module.
Step 4 - Then, go to Settings > Framework > Enable "App List mode".
Step 5 - Finally, Applications(Black List) and tick: Android Services Library, Chrome, Google Play services, Google Play Store, Google Services Framework
Reboot and enjoy! You're all set and SafetyNet should pass.

Ah, got the culprit.
Magisk hide and Official Modules Repo are no longer part of Magisk from the developer.
To get those back, we can use older version of Magisk.
I have updated the Magisk apk link for UI 2.0. Uninstall Magisk by choosing 'Uninstall Magisk' in main screen and root again with the updated link.
Also, Universal SafetyNet fix older versions will just work without Riru. You can try https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases/download/v1.2.0/safetynet-fix-v1.2.0.zip

How to root a system without knowing a bit about rooting? Plz Help

Respected Forum Members and Readers,
I am an Android Rooting Enthusiast and I am totally new to this realm of hacking into the device and gaining its full access. I have just known about it through videos on youtube and have myself tried to root my device Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro by following videos not knowing really how the things work in actual and ended up losing original firmware. But since then I have been trying to find how to actually root a system by even reading the Book on Hacking by XDA Developers written by Jason Tyler. I have somewhat came to know the internal working but I am also a bit afraid as to try again to root my device as i really don't know how to do it till now and this time i can really not lose my device. But i still want to gain access of it and explore the infinite advantages of having a rooted device. Plz if anybody can help me walk my way through it.

Rooting a device's Android simply means to add "superuser" ( AKA root ) functionality to Android OS, will say add an Android user with elevated rights ( comparable to Administrator in Windows OS).
Because your phone runs Android 7 ( Nougat ) IMO the most easiest method to root your device's Android: Replace Android's Toybox binary - what is a restricted version by default - by unrestricted Toybox v0.8.5.

it's very simple, i will try to be less technical but bear with me,
so, rooting is simply gaining access to systems core, by core i mean ability to access, modify and write into system (structure and file).
it is a great responsibility, as a simple stupid move can cause system to crash and may also brick your device.
------------------------------ but, don't worry as we here in XDA are there to help you,
as, the device in question is a Samsung j7 pro, normal rooting methods will not work as Samsung by default make it difficult to root it's phone.
you may refer this article to root your phone click here.
----------------------------- but it's some what technical so, i will explain, what is written there in next post.

so, about what's in the article,
--------------------- first things first, you may cause damage to your device so, just to make sure i will not be responsible for any damage.
let's begin, what i will tell you about?
ODIN (a software by Samsung to flash original firmware {that comes with phone})
TWRP(custom recovery, a tool that is installed (flashed using odin )on phone to flash custom rom)
Some tweaks files like RMM State By-Pass.zip and no-verity-opt-encrypt don't think much about them, they just bypass some restriction set by Samsung so, that rooting is successful. you can flash them through TWRP.
you can get link through the article for all required files so,
Download Samsung driver from here,
install them on your PC
download ODIN from here,
after it, open settings app >> about phone >> software info >> then click build number 5-10 times till you are a developer option appears.
after enabling developer option go to developer option, find it using search bar in settings app, it should be inside about phone section.
inside developer option enable USB debugging and also enable OEM unlock option.
after enabling OEM unlock option -----part 2 below.
this was part one if you got all till now you are good to go,
Connect your USB cable with PC. Switch off your device. Then, enter into Download mode. To do this; press and hold down the Volume Down +Home+ Power buttons and connect your micro USB Cable.

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Press the Volume Up button to continue when you see the warning message.
Now, connect the Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro mobile to the computer via USB cable.
download and extract odin downloaded earlier.
launch odin by clicking on odin.exe file
After connecting the Samsung device, click on the PDA/PA button to browse/search and get the TWRP from where you saved it on your PC. Also, navigate to “options” and save settings like shown below.​

after all this your phone should reboot automatically, and voila you have successfully flashed twrp on your device.
now power off your phone,
boot into twrp by pressing Volume Up + Home+ Power Button
then, it will boot into twrp.
Select Wipe->Advance Wipe->Select Cache Data
Return to Home of TWRP select Install
Select Magisk.zip (you can download magisk from github of magisk or from here )
slide to install.
same process for RMM State By-Pass.zip and no-verity-opt-encrypt install file one by one.
after all the process you should reboot into system.
then download magisk app and now you have root access, enjoy and like the post if you want.

Thank You for taking pains to elaborate the process. i just want to ask one question are you sure this method won't brick my device this time. Sorry i am being like that because the phone i have mentioned is my mother's so she would be really pissed if it does not go right. And if my device gets stuck in boot loop rather being bricked can it still be recovered...

don't worry bro if you follow every step properly it will not brick, but to be on safe side backup internal storage and app data before starting to root your moms phone.

and if some thing goes wrong i am here for you, generally speaking phones does not brick during magisk installation.

@Arihant0908
take note that in order to root Android by means of Magisk, as recommended / advised by @[email protected], neither ODIN nor TWRP is needed: flashing TWRP in this case - as a necessary prerequisite - is an absolute overkill.
All you need is to install Magisk Root app.

take note mr./mrs. @jwoegerbauer
if you know anything about magisk then you should know that it is not a one click root tool, you need to flash magisk for you to gain root access.
next, yes you only need to boot twrp but in case of samsung we need custom recovery to fix errors so it's good to have it flashed. odin helps remove complexity, and is safe to use.
i was trying to provide best stable and tested path and don't interfere if you don't know anything about topic, i humble request not to confuse people @jwoegerbauer

Ok so... in the end what i have understood is that:
1. I need to have Magisk.zip, RMM and no verity encrypt files on Phone.
2. I need TWRP, odin and android usb driver by samsung for windows 10 installed on pc.
3. I need to first flash TWRP using odin. Boot up my device
4. Then boot to TWRP, wipe cache, and flash Magisk.zip, RMM and no verity one by one as in one thing at a time using TWRP. Boot up and install magisk app.
If i missed something, disordered anything or have any suggestions then plz reply. Thank You

[GUIDE] Xiaomi Qin F21 Pro mt6761 Global — Rooted with Play store

This is intended to be a guide on how to root and add play store to a Qin F21 PRO with a MTK6761 processor and 4GB/64GB. The phone I bought came with android 11 and firmware version 1.0.3 (I was dumb enough to not buy the cracked version). I will come back to this to improve the guide as I have more time, but wanted to share some broad strokes here as a way to thank all of you for the help I got from this forum, from 4pda and from various devs that did great work with tools and modules I used.
-------------------------
DISCLAIMER: I have no f****** idea of what I'm doing. My experience with Android rooting is only 2 days (REALLY!), so take this into consideration and proceed with caution.
-------------------------
I'm running a MAC (Big Sur 11.6), so I can't say for the validity of these steps on other OS, but Linux should be quite similar, and Windows too given that all tools have versions for them.
-------------------------
REQUIREMENTS
A factory reset Qin f21 pro on firmware 1.0.3 — Can't say that I recommend doing this without wiping it clean, but you could try
Python 3.9+ — I used homebrew to install (Python 3.9.12), but google is your friend here
MTK client — I used this tool to flash magisk patched boot image and to revert my bricked phone
Android Debug Bridge (adb) — I installed android-platform-tools via homebrew, but you probably already have this
Magisk 24.2 — would probably work with 24.3 but again, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM DOING
Android Developer options enabled and USB debugging enabled — if this is what stops you, big red flag
A Brain — goes without saying, things will go wrong and you will probably have to be creative
Magisk modules I used
MagiskHide Props Config — used to "pass as" a OnePlus N10 on google's eyes
Magisk Gapps Core — this is what installs google play store and services
Universal SafetyNet Fix (ended up not using because had to disable Zygisk, but it's worth knowing about it)
-------------------------
WHAT YOU WILL PROBABLY GET IF THINGS GO RIGHT
Rooted ROM
Play store
Happiness (this one is tricky though)
-------------------------
1. Install everything you need on you machine
Go to MTK client github page and follow the instructions to install it on your machine, do the same for android debug bridge. Downlaod Magisk apk and the modules from the links above too.
2. Backup your phone
First, we are going to backup the current state of the phone. CD into the MTK client folder and with your phone OFF and disconnected from the USB run this command
Bash:
python3 mtk_gui
This will open a GUI and prompt you to connect your phone. You should hold the OWL and RETURN keys on the keyboard while connecting it to the USB. The app will now detect your phone and do its magic.
{
"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"
}
Now that your phone is connected you should be able to dump all the partitions you need to recover it if things go wrong. I did it by selecting all partitions except "userdata" and then clicked "Read partitions". It should take a while, and when it's done you should see various .bin files for all partitions saved somewhere in your computer. Make sure you keep them safe. You can also read the readme from MTKClient on other ways to back your phone (specially for what the "Flash tools" tab is supposed to mean, but this is what worked for me).
Tip: Make sure you don't move the usb cable too much, as I noticed this may cause it to disconnect mid-way and you will need to try again.
3. PUSH THE ZIPS TO YOUR PHONE DOWNLOADS FOLDER
With that out of the way, grab all the zips and move them to your phone.
Open your terminal tool on your computer, cd to where you downloaded Magisk.apk and the 3 modules, and push the files to your phone via ADB USB with this command
Bash:
adb push /path/to/magsik.apk /sdcard/Download
Bash:
adb push /path/to/module.zip /sdcard/Download
You should have all files now on your Downloads folder — you can check by using the native files app.
4. PUSH A BOOT.img TO YOUR PHONE DOWNLOADS FOLDER
Make a copy of the boot_a.bin you just dumped, rename it to boot.img, and push it to your Downloads folder (we will use magisk on it to patch and root your device).
Bash:
adb push path/to/boot.img /sdcard/Download
5. INSTALL MAGISK AND PATCH THE BOOT.IMG
Now, on your phone, go to the Downloads folder and install magisk by clicking the apk, go through all the steps to get it running.
Open the magisk app and on the first card click the install button. On the next screen select the method "Select and patch a file". Magisk will ask you to find the boot.img file. Now you just have to wait for it to finish patching the img.
On the log you will see that Magisk has a path to where it saved the patched img. On your computer run
Bash:
adb pull path/to/magisk/patched/boot.img
This will move the patched boot to your computer which will be helpful in the next step.
6. UNLOCK AND ROOT PHONE
Before we do this, we will need to create an empty vbmeta bin file. On a mac you can do this on your terminal by running
Bash:
touch vbmeta.bin
Now, turn off your phone and disconnect from USB, run this command, and then connect the phone to the USB clicking the buttons from step 2 (this is needed everytime you connect to mtk client, so I won't repeat going forward).
Bash:
python3 mtk da seccfg unlock
Then, after you unlock it, reset the phone by running
Bash:
python3 mtk reset
Now run
Bash:
python3 mtk_gui
With the phone connected to the MTK Client GUI, you will go to the "write partitions" tab:
Find boot_a and set it to the patched boot bin file magisk generated
Find vbmeta_a and set it to the empty vbmeta.bin file you create
Click "write partitions" and wait for it to do its thing.
Bash:
python3 mtk reset
You should now be able to disconnect from USB, start your phone and see "orange state" message on top of the duoqin logo on boot.
Note about partitions: I have little understanding of how the partitions structure are supposed to work on android 11 with MTK processor, but that being said, I had to touch these partitions along the way: seccfg, boot_a, vbmeta_a, vbmeta_b, and super (these last 2, because I bricked my phone). Proceed with caution when writing to them, and with even more caution when writing to other partitions.
7. HIDE MAGISK AND DISABLE ZYGISK (BETA)
Open magisk and hide it by going to settings and click "Hide the Magisk app" — I called mine Houdini, but you can call it whatever you want.
Also, make sure you disable Zygisk on the settings (Reboot if needed).
8. Install MagiskHide Props config
Open magisk again, go to the modules tab and click "install from storage". Find the MagiskHide props config .zip file and install it. Reboot the device.
Now, on your computer, and with USB debugging connected, run:
Bash:
adb shell
This will give you access to your phones shell. Make sure you have internet access on your phone, you can then run:
Bash:
props
(su might be needed here, if so, you can allow it via magisk superuser tab)
Follow the steps from the tool to get your phone fingerprint to be OnePlus N10 5G Global BE2026. This means you will need to navigate the tool on menu options 1 and 2 to do this. Menu option 4 is defined as active by default. You will probably have to reboot a few of times along the way. Just follow what the tool says and check its docs if needed.

Here is what I have:
9. Install Magisk GApps Core and hope for the best
Open magisk again, go to the modules folder and click "install from storage". Find the magisk gapps core.zip module and install it. Reboot. That's it.

Tip: If play store keeps crashing try clearing its cache and storage by going to settings > apps > play store and clear storage
If it doesn't work, play around a bit, try different settings, maybe install Universal SafetyNet Fix, add google play store and services to Magisk's denylist and enable Zygisk, google stuff, poke around. What I described above is what worked for me.

reserved for updates — probably will never happen

wow thanks worked great.

Thank you so much for your hard work!! This works perfectly, I appreciate it!

I followed your guide through step 6, but now when I try to turn on my phone it says:
"dm-verity corruption
Your device is corrupt.
It can't be trusted and may not work properly
Press power button to continue.
Or, device will power off in 5s"
It powers off after 5 seconds, even when I press the power button.
I tried flashing the original firmware, and I'm still getting the same message.

The solution to "dm-verity corruption" on the F21 Pro is: (after following the tutorial through step 6)
1. boot into fastboot by running "python mtk payload --metamode FASTBOOT"
2. using fastboot, flash vbmeta_a.bin with the --disable-verity flag and the --disable-verification flag:
"fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_a vbmeta_a.bin"
3. wait until it finishes (it should be pretty quick), and then hold down the power button to reboot.
4. the device should now boot without the "dm-verity corruption" message
Sources:
I used part of method 2 from this tutorial: https://www.droidwin.com/disable-dm-verity-without-twrp/
Instructions to get to fastboot are from the README.md from https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient

Information on how to do this stuff is scarce it seems with the exception of you and some Russian website. Hopefully someone can help (I am a complete Android novice) - My device is the 3gb/32gb version and I'm not entirely sure which configuration I purchased. It was from eBay and the description gave no information other than storage and RAM. If it helps, when turned on it had Amazon App Store installed and I have the ability to download apps from browser and install directly on the phone. It shows version 1.1.1. Any chance you could advise if this ticks the boxes as it were so that I'm not walking in to bricking my phone with no knowledge or skill of how to fix it? Appreciate the help
Should also mention - It doesn't seem to have any root apps or anything like that and no google play store/services etc.

thanks for this

Hi! If anyone has the backup with partitions and doesn't mind sharing it, let me know. Thank you!

Hello, there has been an update. Now the company Duoqin itself provides its devices with official Google Play Services. Could someone who has this updated device help us get such an update?

I was also stuck after the 6th step. What solved it for me was using the `vbmeta_a` partition from this post. Thanks to @Jbazt_katuforzs

my phone bricked

I have MagiskHide Props Config, Universal SafetyNet Fix, and Magisk Gapps Core installed, but it's saying "This device isn't Play Protect Certified". Any ideas?
