Hi. I just installed Lineage OS 18.1 on my Mi A2. It is working fine for now and much appreciates the work done by the developers. However, I cannot open some banking apps now. Is there a way to fix this? I would be grateful if you could give an effective solution.
Banking / payment apps (at least some) are becoming increasingly capable of detecting bootloader unlocking, custom ROMs, and rooting, even with all Magisk cloacking/hiding measures...

Could you please let me know how to install Magisk on MI A2 Lineage os 18.1. Since I don't have TWRP now I cannot install Magisk. Also, I tried to extract the boot Img from payload.bin. in order to get the TWRP installed. I couldn't do that either.
Can't help you: Never used TWRP and / or Magisk - was never needed.

I know this is old, but were you rooted when your banking apps didnt work?

Now that I have (almost accidentally) upgraded my phone to Android 11 (stock), I would like to root my POCO F2.
I am currently not interested in any custom-ROM, but I need root for proper backup and a couple of other functions.
But what is the best way? I don't want to loose Fingerprint, and Banking-applications?
I understand after unlocking the BL, I can install MAGISK by flashing a patched Boot-image.
People in this forum recommend to flash TWRP, and then install MAGISK as the better way.
So, if there is an OTA-upgrade available my TWRP and MAGISK will be gone - but what about data?
With a previous device (Xiaomi A1) instead of flashing TWRP I was just booting into TWRP to install MAGISK, is this possible with our POCO F2?
After rooting, what will NOT be working?
Who can answer?
Thanks!
Anybody?
Let me rephrase:
Installing MAGISK by flashing a patched Boot-image seems easier and a smaller change to the overall system, compared to flash TWRP and the patched Boot-image.
The method recommended by MAGISK is also flashing the patched Boot-image. Nevertheless a lot of people recommend to go via TWRP. Why? What is the advantage?
Why do you want to root your device?
just downgrade .
I like Titanium Backup, all apps working with Android Auto (eg Screen2Auto), Tasker ..
So are you saying rooting and still have Fingerprint and Banking apps working under Android 11 is not possible?

Nothing said of all this, maybe here you will find the answers to your questions.

I just bought a pixel 3. It has Android 11 and I've just unlocked the bootloader. My goal is to load a custom rom. But I don't know what to do next because I only have experience with twrp (which is not available).
Could someone advise me at a high level of what the process is to load a custom rom? I don't even know what magisk does.
Please and thanks.

Instructions for installing LineageOS on the Pixel 3 are at https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/blueline/install
LineageOS has it's own custom recovery, so TWRP is not needed. Magisk provides root. Root is not needed to install a custom ROM. If you don't know what Magisk does, you do not need it. You can learn more about Magisk at the support thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/magisk-general-support-discussion.3432382/

Many thanks!
Hey guys, haven't been in the root scene for a few years now and I'm thinking about getting back into it.
Is xposed still a thing?
I have updated to android 12.. will I need to revert in order to do any flashing?
Anyone just running stock with root/xposed? Unless I see a compelling ROM I feel like this would be my choice. How do you like it? Does everything work correctly? Is there a way to add small features like 'hold power for flashlight,' stuff like that?
Do you recommend a particular ROM? What is compelling about it over stock?
Thanks!
I used this guide and running stock android 10 with Magisk root:

Well, kind of. It now exists as a Magisk module. You need to install Riru module and LSposed module to get an "Xposed like" feature.
BUT, latest Magisk versions (Beta and Canary who are more compatible with Android 12) now have a new feature called zygisk. That feature is not compatible with Riru and LSposed. So if you're going to LSposed, use latest stable Magisk, which still works.

I'm running stock with latest Magisk Canary and besides that, I only use my Addon features module (which adds some cool custom stuff into stock ROM).

The only ROMs I know that exist for Pixel 4a are ABC and Proton AOSP ROMs. But, if I'm not mistaken, there aren't any ones built for Android 12.
Cheers!
Thanks so much! It's always frustrating, as a casual user, to come back to the mod scene and have to try to re-learn the current meta for both android modding and your particular device by wading through scattered forum posts.

Are there any guides for doing all this in Android 12? Seems like most guides are a bit outdated..

I was hoping to keep Android 12.. That's exactly the type of guide I'm looking for but seems a bit outdated! Any particular reason you've stuck with A10?

It depends on what you want to do.
If you want to just root your device, you only need to do 2 things:
1 - Unlock your bootloader (see HERE )
2 - Flash Magisk patched boot.img (see HERE )
For custom ROMs and etc, you should just check the ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other section. I bet there's a lot of info there about that.

Just that some Xposed apps and modules only work with android 10, and I don't see any features of A11 or A12 that I would use.

Awesome. Thanks! There seem to be some concerns in the Magisk thread about safetynet.. do you have root successfully hidden?
Is TWRP required for installing the addon module zips from your first post?

SafetyNet will fail as soon as you unlock your bootloader.
There is a Magisk module provided by kdrag0n that fixes that but the free version, for the time being, needs Riru and Lsposed to work properly. That means you need to root your device using stable Magisk 23.0 if youwant to fixe SafetyNet right away.
The magisk patched boot.img version that I've shared on that post I've pointed out to you is Canary Magisk, where Magisk Hide feature no longer exists and it's incompatible with Riru and LSposed, as I've already said.
I'm running my device with SafetyNet failing and I couldn't care less since it's not problematic for my daily usage. Any app I cannot install through playstore can be installed using apkmirror. As for Magisk hide, it doesn't exit anymore but there's a "App deny list" that works as well to "hide" Magisk from banking apps (for instance).
I'm not using TWRP since there's really no need for it on Pixel 4a.
Everything can be done through fastboot and Magisk.
Anyway, if you really want to have SafteyNet passing, you need to manually patch stock boot.img (that you may find as well on that thread I've shared) with latest Magisk stable and flash that version. Afterwards install Riru, LSposed and SaftyNet fix by kdrag0n.
Cheers!

I don't need to do that. Everything I have is backed up on my Google account.
Sure, /data and stuff like games or whatever needs to be downloaded again but, it's fine by me.
Furthermore, I don't use custom ROMs any more. Just stock Pixel ROM with my mods installed and I get by just fine, smooth and happy.
Cheers!

Depends on the ROM. LineageOS staff say to install the latest Android 11 image before flashing a LineageOS 18.1 rom. I'd assume that to be true for any other roms based on LineageOS.

Everytime a new build comes up, download the factory image directly from Pixel Official firmware site, extract it, open flash_all.bat, on the update command you see a "-w" flag. Delete the "-w" and save flash_all.bat. Connect device to PC, reboot to fastboot and run edited flash_all.bat.
If you don't delete the -w, you'll lose your data.
Cheers!
Awesome....thanx!

Rooting a phone's Android OS has to be done on OS level, not on phone's bootloader level.

Technically spoken rooting Android OS simply is to add a binary called SU to Android's filesystem, nothing else.
Fastboot operates on a phone's bootloader, not on phone's Android OS.

Hello everyone! I wanted to consult something else, yesterday I asked how to install lineageOS or any rom and it worked perfectly, now I would like to install magisk to pass the SafetyNet test to use some banking applications that I have, also install some modules that interest me, with lineageOS as I know does this rooting process? Is it the same one that appears in the forum or do I have to download a newer file?
Greetings and thank you very much!

Rooting Lineage is pretty simple, download the latest Magisk apk from the Magisk github and rename it to Magisk.zip and flash it in Lineage recovery like you flashed the ROM with adb sideload.

+1 sideload. Easiest way hands down. Patching boot img is way outdated.
