Reasons to upgrade to 10.3.3? Rooted and on 9.0.9.

Hi, except for security patches, what would be the reasons to upgrade to 10.3.3 from 9.0.9?
Not experiencing any issues.
I'm not sure I want to go through the hassle of upgrading.
I'm rooted with unlocked bootloader, running magisk.
Thanks! / Jonis

Dark mode, better gesture navigation, randomized MAC, improved location permissions. There's not much hassle in upgrading, too. You can just download the zip, local upgrade, and it would install in the background. If you want root, you can just re-root after updating since your bootloader will stay unlocked. Besides, we would surely get Android 11 by next year, and I don't think you'd want to be left behind by 2 updates when that comes.

Thanks. ?

Samsung Galaxy XCover SM-G398F/FN/DS Adnoird Q boot.img patch, root?

Hi,
What about this device ?
All I could find was "Galaxy XCover 4s SM-G398F/FN Pie 9.0 using Magisk"
All I want to do is install Magisk or LOS but LOS was I think not yet supported (quick search) and old boot.img
device info;
Samsung Galaxy XCover 4s SM-G398F/FN/DS​
One UI 2.0
Android 10
Knox 3.5 API lvl 31 TIMA 4.1.0
Kernel 4.4.177-18237086
Build QP1A.190711.020.G398FNXXS5BTD2
Security software version
- ASKS v3.1 release 20200120
- ADP v3.0 release 20191001
- SMR may-2020 release 1
Android patch level May 1 2020
I haven't updated the rom on the device because this would only makes it harder for me...
Can it run TWRP or any custom recovery unsigned I am willing to experiment with boot.img on my device because without root this phone is useless for me (side load without flashing, like I always do). Have too much phones here for testing but most of them are slow to the snail due to outdated SoC and latest OS/kernel.
let me know I can dump boot.img and we can have fun experiments.
Not sure if this device is able to downgrade rom using odin or if Knox has ARP.
Any hits on next step? Don't feel like wasting lots of time phone is for RE and testing. Nothing special.

As you said there is no lineage os. Just check if your phone supports project treble by downloading treble check app. If supported, you can install variety of andorid 11 roms

Update... Android 12 can be rooted using Magisk Canary

I was able to take an OTA update to Android 12 on my BL unlocked, rooted, custom kerneled Pixel 3! I started the update accidentally by hitting that pop up reminder and after a minute of thinking what to do (i did not want to lose my data!!!), I held down the power button to force it to reboot during the update. I have had this work to stop an OTA update and restore it perfectly to previous state. Anyway, it did NOT work this time, and it updated to A12 perfectly! No loss of data, no loss of custom kernel, but i did of course lose root. Also.... when i checked the update version in settings, it wanted to update AGAIN, from Oct 21 to Feb 22 (which is just an Emergency Dialer patch). My phone still shows Oct 21 security patch in settings, but shows the Feb 22 firmware (...016.C1), which suggests the patch was only a tiny fix to the 911 Dialer and did not affect anything else. So this time i let it update, which i started to think was stuck or looping after waiting about an hour, but finally i checked the progress and it was done, requesting a reboot! So i rebooted it and behold, its now running final security update to the Pixel 3, and all i need to do now is root with Magisk and install SafetyNet Fix. Which is the ONLY thing i can think of as to how it was able to do a factory OTA update while rooted and BL unlocked! The SafetyNet Fix patch may be so good that it bypasses the Google security measure that refuses to allow OTA updates on rooted, unlocked Pixel 3s. Yup, on a GOOGLE PIXEL! I used to have to unroot and install the factory kernel to do an OTA sideload on my old Essential in order to update and not lose data, but i was told that you could not update to new Android versions without losing your data on the P3, so Ii just figured my Sept 21 A11 firmware was the final update until a phone upgrade. Anyway, just wanted to pass on the good news that you CAN perform a factory OTA update from A11 to A12 on the Pixel 3 WHILE rooted and unlocked and with a custom kernel, but I of course have to recommend you do so on your own, and if anyone has an unused or non-daily driver P3 that want to confirm this good news, please do so and help convince the disbelievers ! The ONLY thing i would recommend is that you have the latest "Android 12" version of SafetyNet Fix installed with the switches on in Magisk, which is what i had. Its the only thing i can think of that would allow Google's Safety Net to bypass the security restrictions. OK then, hope a few of you give it a try to show im not a nutcase, lol.

Question kind of related to this... Was the P3 kernel updated in Android 12 to fix that race condition that causes freezes if using systemless hosts? With A11 I always had to make sure I installed a custom kernel before Magisk and enabling systemless hosts to keep my P3 from freezing.

Question LE2110 Rooted w/ Magisk - Can't Update to newest build number

I've been having some problems updating my LE2110 rooted and w/ Magisk One Plus 9 5G phone. Model is LE2110 and the build number I am on is Oxygen OS 11.2.9.9.LE25AA.
Here's my process to updated:
On my phone options, when I go to settings - systems - system updates - check for updates - it finds a new version LE2115_11_C.44_202201182115. However it cannot instal it do to an 'installation problem'.
So I tried using Oxygen Updater App and from there I can download the LE2115_11.C.44 patch locally. I then go back to settings - system - system updates - setting icon on top right - then local upgrade. From here I can see my downloaded update locally, I'll install that and do not reset. I then go to Magisk and click install - install to inactive slot (after OTA). This is advised to do so it keeps my root during reboot. I then reboot and I see that the update hasn't actually installed.
Any ideas on how to get this phone updated? This might be a problem that I have a LE2110 chinese phone and am running Oxygen OS. It's a work phone, so important for me to keep it up to date. Am I doing something wrong in the process? Thank you so much.

8T Rooted Update without bricking retaining root without data wipe?

Hello,
I followed a few different guides with different methods attempting to update my Oneplus 8T KB2005 from Oxygen OS 11.0.5.6 to KB2005_11_C.11 it ending up bricking my phone and i had to Fastboot flash TWRP to get the ability to wipe my entire phone loosing all 9000 photos and other data. needless to say the phone is now working but it reverted back to 11.0.5.6 with root still just with no data apps or anything.
I would prefer to update to Oxygen OS 12 and retain root. Can someone please direct me to the best method out thats using stable build not something thats gonna potentially be causing me to send CLI commands in fastboot for next 2 hours...
Reasons for updating are the buggy VO-wifi VO-LTE and the not usable 5G.
Thanks
