Hey all, I've been having a lot of fun playing pokemon go but recently the newest version of the game has blocked users who have rooted phones, there's a hack called magisk that will allow the root to be toggled off while the game is being played and then back on when it is not. I am having no luck installing it though.
Has anyone else tried and succeeded to run this mod?
I'm running OL1 (5.1.1), stock rom.
Thanks!

I'm running it now. Although I've read that it can be done without doing a full Factory Reset, per the instructions, I wasn't able to make it work. There's a tutorial from Android Police that explains everything and provides links to the various files needed. Google search "magisk Pokemon go". You'll see the link. It's not too complicated of a process but make sure you have everything backed up.

I also have had no luck installing it. I have a sm-g900h on marshallow 6.0.1 and I've tried 5 times on doing it, but it still won't work. I've looked for a week for different drivers and archives to do it but I can't find any that work.
I'd really like help because I'm a total newbie in this and I don't know what to do or if I'm doing something wrong.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong because all that sounded pretty much like everything else. I've tried nearly every combination of flashing files, unrooting, leaving root. When I unroot I cannot boot to the OS, I was able to play the newer version when I unrooted but I don't think I'm going to do that. Guess I'll just play the old one as long as I can before the force the update and then maybe stop playing :-/

Yeah, I considered upgrading to Marshmallow because I've seen videos of it working for an S7 edge running Marshmallow and thought that Magisk may have had better support with 6.0. I really hope I don't need to get an S7 to get the game to work while rooted...The S5 is still a much better featured phone IMHO and I'm going to use it until it doesn't work anymore because it's so rock solid.
I already solved the problem I had installing it.
Turns out I was replacing the compatible version of super su that comes in the .zip without noticing.
It was all because I didn't read the instructions provided and let TWRP install the super su before rebooting.
I just didn't let TRWP install super su and it worked like a charm.

And this is on Marshmallow or Lollipop? I'm going to try updating to MM and then trying the magisk stuff again, maybe that's the key.

Leave some posts so I know it works OK, I'm new to this
It would be good if someone could post if this rom was ok, as have a T825 rom built with the same method that I cannot test, due to having a T820 myself. So speak up please
Thank you for this. Now I have to ask a couple of newbie questions. I've been exclusively in the Sony Xperia and Nexus worlds before, this being my first Samsung. In trying to figure out if the processes I've become familiar with are applicable to this device, using your ROM.
For instance, my Sony's were pretty easy after the initial root. Kind souls in the community took new releases and created a pre-rooted firmware with TWRP and SuperSU built-in. I could then just dirty flash the ROM from TWRP, sometimes wiping cache/dalvic, and like magic my device is upgraded with no loss of data.
Is this how it works with this AQF5 ROM? I'm starting with a rooted (@ashyx method) T820 with AQBB. Do I just download the rooted ROM to SD card, boot to TWRP, dirty flash and go?
Thanks again!
Hi,
Dirty flash should work, sometimes I try that first and if I get any strange behaviour, do a wipe and re flash then load the rest back with titanium backup. Make sure you have all your backups organised first before starting.
Let me know how it works out. The risk with the first option is something residual being left that may result in force closes or just defeating the purpose.
Just beware if for some reason it doesn't root DM verity will occur and you will be forced to format internal data so back that up to your external card too, before, just in case, shouldn't happen though. I have no idea how many others have used this yet as there have been no replies to say all ok

Not sure I can use this ROM in Germany, what kind of modifications are made? Would love to see some development
As long as you have the same model T-820 you can, some local variants have a local customisation but it's likely to be minor with this model. From memory when I set it up on mine all common languages were available, if that's your concern, make sure you have a twrp backup and you can always roll back
The only mods were as listed above, seems slightly quicker, perhaps the zip aligning, but it will allow more mods as they come along

I have always wondered about that. Flashing a base from another country. Like I live in the US so I always have flashed USA versions. You are
saying that I CAN flash this Korean version on my T-820 phone and have all working ok with English ?

For the record, I don't live in the us but bought mine from best buys whilst there, it was rooted within a couple of hours from memory,..... can't help myself ?.
I Flashed a firmware from another country after that,, just because it was a later series, can't remember which.
I use the Tweaked one as my daily driver, people seem to be finding that good. I have found the latest firmware now seems to carry out a full wipe, and I haven't managed to flash a rom over it yet, so reverted back to the Tweaked version I have.
It may require an update to TWRP
If you have any problems restore your backup, if you want to persist flash the firmware that its based on first,AQF5, then flash the ROM over it, with our without wipe.

This rom is not being developed any more,but the tweaked version in this forum, is based off the stock firmware which came after this,it runs stable, has a few enhancements and being a later base it's got a number of Samsung security updates too.

After 10 years of the same answer its still YES...rooting always trips..
I'm a amateur but i'm willing to learn and put the time in,
I have put custom roms on all my previous phones and tweaked them to my preferences, but I have no idea where to start from the ground up, as usually more people are creating/playing with the same phone, this one seems to be the ugly duckling, wich noone seems to bother with. I have requested the unlock bootloader with the goal of rooting the phone. But before I start going in this rabbit hole, is it possible, and where can I start.
It's a great phone, just too much bloatware, I even have a weird issue that I can't open my accessibility. It keeps closing settings. and I want the android base, not the ZUI OS.
Same question dude..
The software of legion duel 2 make me doubt purchase or not that phone...

It's working, and not that it's bad, but not a fan of zui os, and the bloatware, I guess this site spoiled me, I was expecting a twrp and some custom os. for example , it gets hot very quick, and I assume its the bloat ware running in the background. I think we get a better deal with stock android than the zui os, even if I have to give up the rgb on the back

Yes... I see similar things in the reviews and comparison of this phone...
The smartphone gets hot.. when shouldn't make it...the two fans in combination with the steam chamber and the multiple layers of dissipation should be enough to dispel the high temperature...
And makes me think, that is the bad optimization of the software...
In combination of the bad update supports of the Motorola/Lenovo's phones ...
Makes me doubt purchase this phone...
The salvation of the weakness point of this phone is the community :'c ...

If you have unlocked your bootloader, flash a generic system image, or GSI. You can check it out on Google. Not all features works though.

GSIs are system images so you have to flash in fastboot(wipe in twrp first then fastboot flash system xxx.img)
At google's website, you can choose android 11 gsi, and even android 12 gsi. However they may not boot, if that's the case try luck with phh treble or erfangsi

Hey, the "Starter Pack" is just another Name for the Google Zip which includes GSI and vbmeta. We are on ARM64 and GMS means GApps are included. Please read a bit about how Treble and GSIs are working and start from there. x86_64 btw. is the Dekstop Platform (Like Intel or AMD PCs). Basic knowledge

That Informations are old and obsolete. Hardware works just fine after unlocking (On all Xperias since 2019), DRMs can be restored like i wrote in the Guide. We are using OLED HDR Displays. So don't care about Bravia or such stuff. Only Netflix and Video Enhancements aside from the Creator Mode are not working if unlocked. But AOSP is here and ROMs are also coming based on SODP and AOSP (With Mainline Kernels (Or GKI)) Please also read about Treble and GSIs before You start! It's a thing since Android 8 on all Android Devices. So it will be good to know! GKIs are also coming to all Android Devices soon...

You can try to use another (EU/US) Firmware with NewFlasher but no warranty that it will work @nchmaster
You should check the Basebands compatibility before so make sure You're flashing a Firmware that works with Your Countries Bands.

I asked what it was exactly and do we need to install it for the root process. By the way, it is not needed for the rooting process. I have successfully rooted the phone so thank you for the tutorial.
Just a suggestion, you should maybe add that after you flash the edited boot image to A and B and you reboot the phone, you will have to reinstall Magisk just to save some possible confusion as its no longer installed from being wiped during the bootloader unlock process.

The "starter" pack is just another name for either gsi_gms_arm64-...zip or aosp_arm64-...zip. If you want Google apps then you choose gsi_gms_arm64-...zip, if you do not want Google apps then choose aosp_arm64-...zip. Both of these zip files contain only the system.img and vbmeta.img.

from my point of view they are irrelevant on vab devices (without disrespecting recovery devs they are doing an amazing job as well)
Stock Recovery works for wiping/flashing
About Backup/Restore idk for you but it never worked for me.
Modifying System Files? Maybe but you can do it from the o.s.
There are some kernel specific features (like f2fs compress) they do not work on custom rec.
And for EROFS ROMs ... it turn useless bcoz of read-only filesystem.
It should be useful when some magisk module gives you a nice bootloop and you can remove it from twrp but... you can do it on a stock recovery too..
maybe there should be more needed features but idk about them coz i used twrp only a few times
Unfortunately, it's custom recovery's lack of support for newer file systems (as @alonsoj636 said) & probably due to incompatibility of recovery based OTA updates.
TWRP & OFOX are still useful in a lot of ways, but for you to stick to them, you gotta reflash recovery the moment you updated the ROM, caz it'll replace the existing custom one after the next bootup.
If you don't wanna deal with all these custom ROM nonsense, there's a GSI pathway that I've made a how to guide (which also has it's own querks btw).
Great answers. Thanks.
I studied a bit about the AB devices. Your replies make sense. Also i have made up mind not to flash any android versions after 13 on this device.
I tried to flash gsi but it did not boot. Not a guy who knows coding and much. I will give it a try maybe again. It is bit more complex for me since i have a ubuntu system.
Phones are increasingly becoming complex. I miss smaller phones with great battery and less clutter. I had Htc Desire C in 2011. Loved it. From the Indian perspective: dual sim phones will soon become unnecessary burden as cellular plans are becoming costlier due to Duopoly and less competition in the market + inflation.
Mojito will probably be my last Xiaomi phone.

Same here. You can go with Pixel A series. They have amazing development track. Might cost a bit, but worth each penny.

On Linux, you only need to install android-tools package for adb / fastboot. No need of drivers too.
