[CASE CLOSED][Q] Possibility for SuperSU Pro Flashable ZIP?

Is it possible to insert the SuperSU Pro Key to flashable SuperSU (maybe with a little bit modification in the script?) so whenever I flash it, it is in Pro version automatically? No need for separate installation...

Why do you want pro.... You can enable all pro feature with out having pro key..... Check settings... It has an option for this...

So true sir...
There's no reason to answer why would I go to pro when I can enable pro features for free,,, when I have already the key.
What really matter for now is, if it possible to flash 2 apk in just 1 flashable zip.
I think its possible (somehow)... but I don't know how to create flashable zip. Moreover, I really don't know how to create additional script (or what script to be added) needed to be used in order for key be installed too while SuperSU is being flashed.
Seems like, I what to learn on how to create script that will command to install SuperSU then the key afterwards.
If I'm not mistaken (as I am not a developer or what but a totally noob)... commands/scripts in a flashable zip are written in .sh file?

There is no ne to do this...... Just select any apk file abd put it to /system/app folder and restart your device

Would like to further understand something from this too
(i do have linux background)
Technically speaking, what is a rooted device? Is it having the su binary available? Is that what it means?
But then, supersu says that it needs a 'rooted device'.. this is quite rather confusing. doesnt supersu provide root access to apps?

couldnt you combine the key and the app using lucky patcher or a diffrent method?
My device:
Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (rooted)
Rom:AOSP
Carrier:At&t
Dont forget to thank me if i helped

No luck... I flashed the SuperSU then push the key to system/app but the key didnt install itself.
That is why I am trying to fig.out how can I insert the key from the flashable zip.

Not so sure, but a rooted device means having both the su binary and the root access manager (supersu)...?

I'll thank you if you could give me the procedure on how to combine the key. (Or if I searched for it for giving me an idea)... I havent used Lucky Patcher before. If I am able to combine the two in just 1 apk, then I might just replace the existing apk from the flashable zip so when I flashed it, its in pro version automatically.

So far, giving me an idea nearest to what I want to happen is a big help.
I'll give thanks, then.
UPDATE:
According to chelpus(DOT)defcon5(DOT)biz ...that was an exception to the capability of Lucky Patcher. It cannot be patched when the apps are in two parts (apk and pro key)... Btw, still thanks to everyone who effort to helped me.
Waiting for one who can really help me out for what I want.

Are you really pertaining to "pro key" apk too or other apk file?
It works for other apk but didn't work for pro key apk (in my case)...
AND I am wrong for my term "push" when I did not actually push it, but rather flashed it...
I flashed it right after flashing flashable SuperSU.
I placed the pro key inside a zip file>system>app (Idk where that zip file originated)... then flashed it
(all via cwm recovery).
(Btw, that zip file is really meant to flash apk to system/app or system/framework if you are afraid to push.)
Then after that, "reboot system now".
Viola! Nothings happen, but to go to system/app (look for the pro key) then install it there then restart.
(It works after that.)

FEEDBACK:
It doesn't work. Maybe you just put the pro key inside the zip and you didn't even bother to modify the script so its useless.
Only free version will going to install in the end.

Yes, exactly.
The problem is that people have adopted the term rooted to also mean access to the root of the filesystems, iow, the / directory. ("Just place this file on the root of your SD card," being the most common example of that usage.)
Anyway, with / access you can remount /system to rw instead of ro, and from there you can install the su binary (either in /system/bin or /system/xbin depending on how the dev made the installer).
The apk is simply the front end (user facing) management layer.
And then toss in the common Linux misunderstanding that's bled over to Android that su stands for super user. It doesn't, it stands for set user, but without arguments (the way most people have seen it) defaults to setting you to the root user.
As a Linux user, it might be just as well to think of the apk as your sudo access assistant, and to think of the grant/deny popup as analogous to confirming access with your password.
If you haven't already, install a good busybox (I prefer this one) -
Check out "BusyBox"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
And then Terminal Emulator and look around just as you would on Linux.
Your filesystem layout will make more sense one you use the df and mount commands there.
Hope this helps.
PS - Also, a thank you for taking down the pro download.

So I can do it by myself anytime.

[5.12.17][g935u][root] stable method for g935u - bqd2 t-mobile

As we have all seen with this latest STOCK G935U [BQD2] Firmware for T-Mobile indeed it runs smooth and personally I have experienced better performance without all those carrier-bloat applications by default. Dating a week ago, I tried to root this build version and for some reason I experienced infinite bootloops after my device boots up. So I did some research as to what system apps could be causing this I still I can't believe that a network-related system application was causing this issue.
I am talking about com.samsung.sprint.chameleon as mentioned by @qwewqa here -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/4-28-t-mobile-935-firmware-t3597866/page10
I will not go in-depth about what this is but this relates to a network configuration. I will post a reference on this if you guys feel like checking out...
https://community.sprint.com/t5/Archives/Chameleon/td-p/654097
FAST & STABLE ROOT METHOD FOR THE G935U under T-Mobile // S7 EDGE
1 - Download & Flash Via Odin the latest Firmware provided on this post. Thanks to @justda
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/4-28-t-mobile-935-firmware-t3597866
------------ HERE COMES THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP ON THIS GUIDE ----------​
2 - Install Package Disabler Pro from OSPolice. Play Store link ...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro&hl=es
3 - Open the application, activate Device Administrator, just hit next or ok or just follow through the setup and once the apps list loads up look for the system app with the name of: com.samsung.sprint.chameleon. Go ahead clear data and DISABLE it. After you are done disabling this system app, you are now safe and good to follow through the root method below.
4 - I suggest that you use the root.bat file provided by @Quickvic30 on this thread to root your device
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/heres-how-rooted-nougat-s7-edge-g935t-t3567502
IF YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY BOOTED UP YOUR DEVICE PAST THE SAMSUNG SCREEN WITHOUT ENDING UP IN BOOTLOOPS (Bootloops may occur within 30 seconds after booting up from the Samsung Screen) THATS IT, YOU ARE DONE!

Since I don't see any mention of using the engineering kernel should I assume this method does not work for US models?

So basically you take qwewqa's discovery, make no mention of him, then pass it off as your own. Then copy and paste some steps from other people, and submit it as your work?

As referred in the procedure section. The main and original root method goes to the forum thread linked above. As I briefly specified in the background info section, this is just a quick fix in performance and stability when applying root to this build.

I didn't copy nor plagiarize any information from their respective owners. Credits are given, very briefly detailed information on the steps as to the main reason of this thread is just giving the list and proceed with the order of steps to successfully achieve root. The link that I attached in regards to the conflicting system app that where I noticed the issue with other models.
I didn't look into @qwewqa thread comment regarding this, and I apologize and edited to credit him on this finding.

The debloat list provided is extremely aggresive. It removes the stock gallery, stock calender, lock screen wallpaper, stock contacts, Bluetooth, and all google back up services.
Your list is great for the hardcore folks BUT you have to go back through the lost and re-enable the apps and clear the data then re disable them.

Brian,
Thanks for bringing it all together. I am currently rooted on T-Mobile QC1. I wanted to go to the U firmware wanted a tested way to root first.
Pat

Thank you kindly. Going to try this out right now

gonna give this a try, Any kernel tweak recommendations? how smooth/fast is it or does it lag like a bunch

any fix for the finger print sensor?

Im think the eng is conflicting with a app killing the fingerprint sensor

As a matter of fact, the root.bat from @Quickvic30 does all the jobs needed. I strongly suggest running his method. No L Speed, no Kernel Adiutor. Just Titanium Backup to freeze/uninstall bloatware.

I tried to use this method but my phone won't let me change permissions. It pops up with a message that says "changing permissions was not successful. Please note that some file systems do not allow permission changes." Is there something special I need to do to enable permission changes?
Also I am using root browser to do this.

I also had that problem too. Just extract the libs and overwrite them in /system/lib and /lib64, then change the permissions to rw-r--r--. Apparently, it only worked after overwriting the files.

Redmi Note 5 Pro Stock Camera APK

Hi,
I was able to fetch APK file of Camera of Redmi Note 5 Pro, I was not rooted so I wasn't able to fetch library files and odex file.
But still I believe sharing is caring,
And some Devs might find it useful
I tried putting in system/priv-app/MiuiCamera, giving it permission rw-r-r, and after reboot it shows the app but force closes when tapped.
It won't be installed as normal APK ..
So just sharing it, it might help someone
Not Able to upload via XDA labs app, telling me network issue every time. So here is the,

Its never need to be rooted to get system dump . You can always fetch whole system partition through adb .check adb guides,so with any good file explorer ,there is nothing important available at data partition .so don't fool around here .

When you get handson of this device, Someone pls share the setup to replicate pixel/stock android system wide appearence without root.

Bro, Calm Down, Nobody is Fooling you here, I didn't had the device for a longer period of time, so in that little time I was able to fetch camera APK, why I did this? It's because its Version 2 of Miui Camera, older devices uses Version 1, and there is a lot of difference between them.
If the device would have been with me for much longer time I could fetch system dump through ADB or I could have rooted it and fetched everything, but as you know the device hasn't been sold yet, so what I did what I could have done.
Talking about fetching file with file explorer without root, Sorry it's not possible, Redmi Note 5 Pro uses Emulated partitions, so you can't just "SEE" root folders without root.
So keep Calm, and wait for the device to be sold and get it on hands to provide system files, in the little time, I did, what I could.
Thank you.
PS : I'm not Pro's like you guys, still I shared the camera APK having the Nooby Knowledge.

I don't know if they kept camera libs the same as the ones on old devices, but here's the list of the files needed (requires access to /system, so rooted device):
from /system/etc
the folder "device_features"
age_gender_bg
android_model_facea.dat
android_model_faceg.dat
face_goodly_***_***
face_ravishing_***_***
face_splendid_***_***
lf_facerank_model.bin
people_gender.dat
watermark_font_****_****.dat
from /system/priv-app
The folder "MiuiCamera"
If you (or anyone else) can, just try to pack them all together and upload them! That will be very helpful!

Sorry brother, but I have been unable to unlock the bootloader because of this stupid method to unlock BL by Xiaomi. All the Made in India variants are facing 86006 error because of which no one has been able to unlock and root, including me. Bugs have been raised and Xiaomi reported that their developers are working on it.
I hope someone with a rooted device reads this and tries to help.

Is it possible to port redmi note 5 pro's stock camera for other devices, like for redmi note 4?? as it got a good EIS and front portrait mode, will it work on mido??

[HELP] Features Missing after unlocking bootloader

Well although I planned to unlock bootloader after a few months I decided to grab the opportunity when unlock page started working and with the ultimatum by Huawei about providing unlock codes, but ever since I unlocked and fixed multiple boot loops I noticed few apps and features are now missing such as
HiFi Huawei sounds in Settings is gone
Unable to change or apply themes
smart remote Control is now gone,
Phone no longer stay awake while looking at it
There might be more stuff missing which I haven't noticed
I mean it feels absurd I just unlocked bootloader why are these stuffs missing this makes no sense to me, all I did is installed twrp, installed magisk no modules nothing, in fact, my favorite mods are giving boot loops anyway but that aside I do need the above things back please help out a friend, anyone else faced this ?
I have a theory like Miui had a "region" option and apps changes according to regions set. So does something like this happens in EMUI as well, I don't remember exactly but I believe I set region/language as the UK while completing the setup, if so how can I change it back(PS: I live in India)
or its the side effect of root perhaps?
PHONE: HONOR VIEW 10

There might be more stuff missing which I haven't noticed
I mean it feels absurd I just unlocked bootloader why are these stuffs missing this makes no sense to me, all I did is installed twrp, installed magisk no modules nothing, in fact, my favorite mods are giving boot loops anyway but that aside I do need the above things back please help out a friend, anyone else faced this ?
I have a theory like Miui had a "region" option and apps changes according to regions set. So does something like this happens in EMUI as well, I don't remember exactly but I believe I set region/language as the UK while completing the setup, if so how can I change it back(PS: I live in India)
or its the side effect of root perhaps?
PHONE: HONOR VIEW 10
Current EMUI ver:8.0
Varient:BKL-09(C675D2)
Current Version of Update:8.0.0.140

Wow well I expected a better response from the community or some response for sure.. Well turns out these all apks were in data partition, so they got removed when phone storage was formatted, makes sense now
Extracted the apks and pushed them myself... Features are back

No idea what kind of issues you had, but none of those vanished after unlocking my bootloader.
I've been able to use themes just like before, the display stays on when I look at it and those Huawei sounds in settings are still there as well. No idea about the remote since I never used it anyway.
So idk what went wrong on your phone but it doesn't look like that's anything "normal"

Help please !
Bro, can you please please please extract upload C675 system.img stock so that I can come back on stock?

I am guessing it as per different variant, perhaps in mine these apk were in the data partition, Microsoft translator was missing as well
I pushed those apks extracting from firmware to the system partition and its back to normal

You are a savior then !
Yes bro, please upload it. It would be a pleasure for me and several others. I'm dying to get that.

I just realized the firmware on firmware finder seems rather incomplete, update.app is just 300 MB or so, no way it contains full system.img
so am gonna have to take twrp backup b ready for 3gb download, anything else u want other than the system?

From LOS to Stock
Thats not a problem bro, have a 50mbps 250gb monthly plan in broadband. Wanted you to know that I am coming from LOS to stock as much as I know it would require only system.img. But if you think anything else would be required, then please upload that too, as I have only the stock recovery and nothing else.
Thanks for your help !

here you go, its rar5 with high compression so PC is recommended for unzipping,
after unzip paste in twrp folder and restore

So i have to flash system image in fastboot i'm not wrong.. ? How to flash this zip ? Should i extract image from this ??

it is not flashable, just extract the content of the zip,
paste it in the twrp folder of the phone and use restore option of twrp

Mate, thank you for this upload. I am also having the same problems(C675). You are a life saver.
1. Could you please elaborate the steps in detail, where to place system.img in twrp folder(In Internal or sd card)?
2. Also what is the version u have uploaded mate(8.0.0.140/8.0.0.151)?
3. Also can you upload ramdisk, kernel, stock recovery also?
4. Is there any way to get FULLOTA-MF for India as provided in other regions?
Thank you.

I flashed it bro but no network.
I think I need radio/modem files.
Could you please upload? I'm waiting.

here you go , rest of the partitions
Do the same unzip in PC- Copy all these files inside twrp backup folder, go to twrp and use restore option hopefully it will work
this is 140 update backup I haven't received 151 officially due to unknown reasons, but I had made changes to my system partition so it contains almost all new features and fixes of 151 except the 3D creator cam,
3D creator is in my data partition which i did not backup

Hey, Are you sure taking restore of this one alongwith previous one will do the job ? I guess imei resides in efs partition which I cannot see here. Can you confirm this once please ?
and thanks for your time and effort bro

Hey, could you share how did you manage to extract the apks? I downloaded the firmware using the Firmware Finder and found the HwRemoteController.apk but when I try to install it via adb I get a signature failure.

Mate, thank you for this upload.
1. Is there any way to get FULLOTA-MF for India as provided in other regions?
2. How to install the latest update with root?. Is there any solution available?

U need to place them directly in /system/app
Or /data/apps and give permission rw-r--r--
Or try signing the apk it should work I guess if libs are not there

Take your own backup first... Try installing only one partition at time... To be honest this EMUI is very new to me... Dont know y they made so many different partitions
Or maybe it's a kirin's thing... I should have just gone with Op5t like rest of the world... Its just chaos and confusion here

[GUIDE] Enabling LTE on China Telecom (and others) on Pixel 3 XL (Android 10)

Being a huge fan of the Pixel series and living in China is not easy. Just upgraded my XL to 3 XL and naturally I had to enable the LTE to work in China. Regardless what you may see on the Chinese forums (gfan), all the files you need are already present on the phone.
Files you need:
1) The ADB bridge for Windows
2) The most recent factory image
3) Magisk Manager
4) Chinese-Carrier-Pixel-3-xl-LTE-VoLTE-Enabler (Magisk Manager module) - Github direct: https://github.com/wangdaning/Chinese-Carrier-Pixel-3-xl-LTE-VoLTE-Enabler (big thank you to wangdaning for allowing me to publish it.) Also attached as a zip file to this post.
If you don't understand what these files are for or where to find them, perhaps you should ask a friend to help you. Flashing anything wrong could result in an expensive brick. Always backup your data, never blindly trust a post, and do your research. This post is in good faith and I am not liable for your actions.
Now, I don't have any of the variants of 3 (Pixel 3, 3a, 3a XL) but I would assume it would work in a similar fashion; however, see above and do your research. Check file structures, read some posts, backup data, etc. If someone does try it, please report both success and failure to build the knowledge.
1) We need to ensure our phone has an unlocked bootloader. If your bootloader is locked, you WILL lose all your data. Ensure you backup everything you want to keep. There is no getting around this step. We need to be a developer first. Go to Setting->About Phone->Build number (tap it until it says you are a developer). Then go to System-> Developer options -> OEM unlocking: turn it on. Next we need to reboot to the bootloader by resetting the phone and hold the down volume key as it reboots. In the bootloader, first use the volume keys to find and select the unlock the bootloader command with the power key. Then, we need to send the following command:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
You will receive a wipe and security warning. Accept and reboot the phone. It will wipe and reset your phone to factory.
2) I started from a stock image (May update; QQ2A.200501.001.B2). I suggest you start from there.
3) While we have the May update in front of us, we need to extract the boot.img so it can be patched to root the phone. TWRP doesn't support us at the time of writing on Android 10. (Hope that new baby is healthy!) The boot image can be found in the zip image-crosshatch-*release code*.zip/boot.img. Transfer this boot.img to the phone to be modded to enable root.
4) Next the phone needs to be rooted. You need to download the most recent version of Magisk Manager. Once installed, open up Magisk Manager. It will report no Magisk and that's ok, we are installing it now.
5) Tap install on Magisk and it will ask if you want to install, so install. Then you need to select the method. We will choose "Select and patch a file." Tell it where you saved your boot.img and it will patch it to allow us to root the phone. The output file we need is called magisk_patched.img is on the phone. Move it back to your directory with your ADB bridge.
6) Next we need to flash this patched boot file to our phone to complete the rooting process. Reboot to the bootloader and send the two commands:
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
Reboot the phone and congrats, you are rooted with an unlocked bootloader.
7) To prepare for the install of the mock files that will point to the files on the phone, we need to delete a few checking files. Using your file explorer of choice that can gain root access delete the following:
/data/vendor/modem_fdr/fdr_check
everything in /data/vendor/radio/ (make the target folder empty)
8) Download the LTE_enabler from Github or the zip file here. Open Magisk Manager and open the menu -> Modules -> "Yellow Plus" to add. Point it to the zip file.
9) Reboot and enjoy using your phone as intended.
I tried to be as detailed as I could but not be over verbose either. If any step is unclear, there are more detailed guides on this forum concerning bootloader unlocking and Magisk rooting on Android 10. As a bonus tip, does the "x" showing no data bother you and stop some services from working? If so, this can be fixed by re-pointing your captive portal to something inside the firewall. This can be accomplished with one line of code:
Code:
adb shell "settings put global captive_portal_https_url https://developers.google.cn/generate_204"
Enjoy and if you have questions about Pixel and China, feel free to post them. Support right to repair!

I downloaded the zip file but it tells me it's not a module.

Could use more details, otherwise it is hard to help. It definitely is a module and installs fine. Something else is going on.

is this for china only? I have a Canadian 3 XL and moved to Bucharest, need to enable VOLTE on Orange Romania. I'm also on Android 11

It should work, but you would have to slightly modify the files. Instead of pointing to the Chinese carrier modem file you would want to point to the orange Romania file. I looked and there is an mbn file for orange Romania, it is just not included in the mbn_sw.txt. Then again, have you made sure Orange has activated VOLTE for your device?

I contacted Orange and they say VOLTE should be working, that the issue is my device not being compatible with their network. I also bought a Samsung watch 3 with LTE and can't activate LTE through my phone, i assume it's due to the same issue.
I'll follow your guide and report back.
Should be no issue if i am using Android 11 instead of 10 right?

Should be fine, you just need to make sure that you modify the mbn_sw.txt file to include the location of the Orange Romania mbn file. You might just try this first:

If that does not work then you need to modify the module to include the romania mbn.

Dude i love you! worked perfectly. I followed the guide to root Pixel 3 on Android 11 and then your steps, didn't modify anything and now i have VOLTE enabled!
thank you so much!

ok i spoke too fast, while VOLTE is enabled now in the settings, when i make a call, it switches to H+ which means its not using VOLTE. any idea? I modified the .txt file to include the location of the romania .mbn file, i modified the file directly on the phone though, after installing the module with magisk manager

Not sure, to many variables at play. I mean it could be that orange Romania only has VoLTE in certain areas/cases. Try using *#*#4636#*#* and phone information, see what it says.

I did that, both VOLTE and Wifi calling say provisioned. I guess it might be something on Orange's end.
I saw a reddit post for a Pixel 3 having the same issue and the carrier ended up doing something on their side.

Confirmed working on Pixel 3 w/ Android 11!

Can this patch work on Pixel 4 as well? Thank you

You would have to find the location of the files on the Pixel 4 as I am not sure where they are. Then modify the module to point to the correct location.
