Some Questions: Updating my Oreo Galaxy S9 [Modded] - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
so i have some questions i need answers for before i just go in and try to update my modded S9 to Android 9
My Setup:
Galaxy S9 SM-G960F Exynos
Messed up my ROM once and had no backup so i installed a stock one from SamMobile or something.
Edit: forgot to mention that i'm from germany. i think there are some region specific FWs so keep that in mind.. im not sure which specific ROM i installed but it should be a stock rom with correct region and model number.
TWRP installed.
Magisk v17.3 with Manager v6.1.0 installed with following modules{
Systemless Hosts,
YouTube Vanced v13.34.50(b01.25.00)
}.
I have bxActions installed and mapped my bx button to 4 actions{
NavBar->Back,
NavBar->TaskManager,
NavBar->Home,
Google Assistant
}.
i modified my build.prop so my NavBar isnt visible for more screen real estate (thats why my bx button has these mappings).
I applied some black and red theme for GBoard and overall system Theme (status bar and whatever... settings menu and stuff).
Im also using AdAway (thats why i have the Systemless Hosts module installed in magisk).
SafetyNet is no Problem. i can use all apps i heard i could have problems with when magisk not properly installed{
Pokemon GO,
Snapchat,
Google Pay (although it doesnt work correct recently... might be a problem with my PayPal tho),
Banking App etc..
}.
I also started app dev with flutter with it via USB-Debugging if thats somehow important to know.
My Questions:
Since im not able to Update via OTA.. how can i update to android 9 safely without messing up my setup?
What does work after the Update and what doesnt? TWRP ****ed up? build.pro mod gone? magisk?
Is it even worth it to update?
oh and while we are at it: since knox is tripped some features like secure folder etc dont work. any alternatives for something like a password secured folder or similar?
Thanks for your help

[ROM][ROOT][STOCK][7.0] v2 Samsung Tab A 2016 10.1 (SM-P585Y/SM-P580), Jul 23, 2017

Greetings!
ROMs for the two variants of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2016, 10.1") with S Pen:
WiFi+Cellular (SM-P585Y) gtanotexllte (other variants, SM-P585, SM-P585N0, SM-P585M etc. not tested for ROM compatibility)
http://www.samsung.com/sg/tablets/galaxy-taba-p585/SM-P585YZWAXSP/​WiFi only (SM-P580) gtanotexlwifi (even this has not been tested since I don't have this device)
http://www.samsung.com/us/business/support/owners/product/SM-P580NZKAXAR​
Disclaimer: No warranties, stated or implied. Flashing a custom ROM might void your warranty. If you download the ROM & use it, you do so at your own risk. The author or XDA are not liable for any issues arising out of the usage of this ROM.
Different people have different requirements, so I have made available two versions of the ROM:
- Lite (heavily debloated with almost all Samsung apps removed, since I don't use them)
- Full (No debloat/no apps removed, apart from Knox)
Current version - Nougat 7.0 ROM v2 (rooted with Magisk 13.3)
Download Nougat 7.0 ROM v2 for SM-P580 WiFi only
Lite: Google Drive
Full: Google Drive
Download Nougat 7.0 ROM v1 for SM-P585Y WiFi+Cellular
Lite: Google Drive
Full: Google Drive
Previous versions - Marshmallow 6.0.1 ROMS (no further development):
Download Marshmallow 6.0.1 ROM v2 for SM-P585Y WiFi+Cellular (its somewhere between lite & full)
Mega, Mediafire, Dropbox,
Download Marchmallow 6.0.1 ROM v1 for SM-P580 WiFi only
Lite: Dropbox
Full: Dropbox
(Additional disclaimer: I don't have the WiFi only tab, so I cannot test this ROM. It underwent the same process as the WiFi+Cellular model, which I do have, so it should be okay. If you encounter any issues, please let me know.)
Pre-requisites:
Enable Developer options by going to Settings -> About device -> Software info -> click 7 times on 'Build number'.
Now go to Settings -> Developer options -> Turn on 'OEM Unlock' & 'USB Debugging' if not already done so.
Caution: The stock ROM has Verifed Boot enabled with device-mapper-verity (dm-verity) kernel feature, which prevents a successful bootup if it detects any modification to the original setup. See details. This needs to be disabled if you need to install a custom recovery, or a custom ROM.
Download dm-verity disabler:
https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/
Download TWRP recovery:
LTE version - https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxytaba101lte2016spen.html
WiFi version - https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxytaba101wifi2016spen.html
Instructions - Install TWRP Recovery & flash DM-Verity disabler:
Transfer the downloaded file 'no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip' to SD card or OTG USB drive.
Download Odin 3.12.3 or any recent version.
Shutdown your tab.
Use Power+Volume Down+Home to reach the Download screen & then press Volume Up to confirm.
Use the AP section to flash the TWRP recovery.
After installing TWRP via Odin, uncheck auto reboot & manually go into TWRP to install the file 'no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip'
THEN, format /data, DON'T wipe it.
Booting to the stock ROM AFTER installing TWRP without doing this will show you a Verification failed warning, asking you to reset to factory defaults, since you basically overwrote Samsung's default recovery with TWRP, so it is cross with you.
Instructions - Install ROM:
Copy ROM to SD card or OTG USB drive (TWRP can have issues reading the internal storage)
Insert the SD card or OTG USB drive into the tab (very important!)
Press Power + Volume Up + Home & keep them pressed till you reach the TWRP splash screen
Swipe right to allow modification
Install 'no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip' from SD card or OTG USB drive
Format /data
From Advanced Wipe, wipe Dalvik/ART Cache, System, Internal Storage & Cache
Install the ROM, no need to wipe again since we already wiped & formatted in TWRP
Remember to remove the tick mark against reboot before clicking next, do NOT reboot yet!
Wipe Dalvik/ART cache (yes, again, after ROM install)
NOW, Reboot
Let the ROM boot, give it time
Install any extra applications you need
Bugs/Limitations & Workarounds:
Some APKs have been removed as part of the deknox/debloat, however, the appropriate system level modifications have not been touched in order to remain as close to stock as possible. So if you try to change a setting which relies on the removed feature, the appropriate app might force close, or it may continue to wait for the missing app. This is expected. Currently I have no plans to correct this behavior.
Software updates will not work.
Google Play Services might force close, so you will need to update it.
Samsung notes may force close out of the box. Just update it from Google Play Store. It will work after that. (zayi)
Accessibility service doesn't work on the debloated/lite ROM. Just use any third party keyboard like Swiftkey/Google Gboard etc & then enable the service for the application you desire. (zayi)

Extra recommendations for the tab:
Since SM-P585Y doesn't have a huge internal storage, just 16 GB, out of which, only ~9 GB is left for the user, you may want to use adoptable storage to use your SD card as internal storage. Go to this thread by ashyx to enable adoptable storage, whereby you have the option to convert your SD card as an internal storage unit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/how-to/patch-adoptable-storage-enabler-t3507387. The only caveat is that it formats & converts the whole SD card for use as internal storage & you won't be able to pop the card out & use it on your PC to transfer data, you will need to transfer data via the USB cable just like you would for the internal storage.
Go to Developer options & turn off Windows, Transitions & Animator animations. It would visibly speed up your tab slightly by cutting down on the slight delay introduced by the animations.
App recommendations (Free in Play Store):
'Xodo PDF Reader & Editor' for PDF annotation
'INKredible - Handwriting Note' for taking notes with guaranteed beautiful handwriting

Can we instal xposed in these ROM?
Gosh, saw a stock rom for the s pen model and got excited, until I saw it was the P585 only =[
Merry Christmas LTE guys!

I went too far in my debloating, which doesn't play nice with formatting /data, so I've added some stuff back & christened the new ROM v2. Uploading, should be up shortly. I've installed Xposed on it. Looks okay.
EDIT: New ROM v2 uploaded.
I don't use Xposed much, however, I was able to install:
Xposed framework ver 86.1
Xposed Installer ver 3.1
Modules: Xposed edge & Gravitybox (MarshMallow)
It seems to be behaving itself, don't see any errors in my rudimentary testing.

LOL, Merry Christmas, WiFi folks.
I don't think there's much difference between the WiFi & LTE models apart from the SIM module , so if you're feeling brave, you can try to install it.
Otherwise let me try to look up the WiFi ROM & cook t the same way. Your tab would have to be the guinea pig though.
By the way, which is the software version for P580? I saw this one online: P580KXU1APJ1 from November 2016. Any release after that?

Yes, that is an acknowledged bug.
However, I recently installed Xposed framework, Xposed installed & a couple of Xposed modules. Afterwords I again applied the dm-verity & no-ecryption zip and then again formatted data. Now Samsung Notes is back up running. Wondering, whether that has anything to do with Xposed, or the data format...
If you haven't setup a ton of apps, maybe you can just try to install the zip & format data to see if Samsung Notes works... However, it will mean starting from scratch again in terms of setting up your tab...

Sorry, I removed TTS in my haste to debloat the ROM, since I don't use it.
I guess if you do need it, maybe I can upload another version of the ROM with zero debloat, which doesn't have any apps removed. It would be same as stock in terms of apps, but you still have the other features.
Let me know.

I've created two ROMs for the WiFi model, based off the build P580ZSU1APJ3:
- Lite (heavily debloated, with almost all Samsung apps removed, Air Command removed too)
- Full (only Knox removed, all other apps remain as it is, Air Command works)
So now both 2016 S-Pen tab models are equally represented. No partiality any longer.
Jp
Appreciate the work. Is it possible to have a lite version with just the s-pen functionality left in or is that dependent on too many other apps? Or, is there an apk that can be downloaded to re-enable air command?

LOL, thanks. Its just selective debloat. Just more work, that's all.
These are APK's, but system apps, not user apps, so normal install like other apps may not work as intended, might be more messy, even if it works.
Air Command, the feature to pop up a selection of commands targeted towards the S Pen, is not a feature I find terribly useful. When I take out the S Pen, I use it for two purposes:
- Take handwritten notes with INKredible app.
- Annotate PDF's with Xodo.
Air Command just gets in the way, I have to dismiss it, causing one more S Pen click or back button key press. And keeps on showing the translucent button, which I can sometimes press inadvertently. Apart from Clock (I just like the white icon by Samsung, instead of horrible pale purple clock icon by Google), I just replace all the Samsung apps with the ones by Google. Hence the heavily debloated approach. I understand, Samsung Notes, with it OneNote like functionality might appeal to some people, the automatic prompt might appear cool too, even if its not for me.
Let me see what I can do, maybe a third, not-so-lite & not-so-full ROM. No ETA's though.

The tablet is my wifes and she uses this feature on the tab and her note - wouldn't be able to convince her to switch to a slimmed down rom without it

T95 Allwinner H616 TV Box

Just thought I would post regarding this box. Not much information on it.
I bought on a whim without realising the one thing I wanted was missing (Bluetooth). However the box has grown on me.
Its powered by the new Allwinner H616 Chip. However its performance sucks. For some reason they have forced CPU to 1.4GHz all the time. No point in my opinion, it just causes it to heat up for no reason.
Anyways, it comes fully rooted. I did try and install SuperSU, ended up killing root. So I reflashed it using usb flasher. There is also a new firmware update, which shows when doing wireless update.
Firmware released is 10.1.12, update takes it up to 10.1.14. So I did update and then factory reset to start fresh. The only problem is, rom is such a mess. App folders every where and system is filled to 100%. I deleted bloat in /system/pre-install folder.
I stopped rooting stuff years ago, so Magisk is newish to me. I thought I would try Magisk manager. Worked great, was able to install Magisk. From then on all root apps worked as I was able to set root access, which is something I could not do before. I also installed kernel auditor and set read ahead on and tweaked the build.prop. This helped speed it up, now stuff like Emulators no longer jerk and stutter.
One downside, Prime video does not work, you have to use Amazon Video (which is their browser alternative).
So hope this helps anyone with the same box.
Can you specify what changes did you to make it run faster? Were you able replace/disable Alice ux?
Hi. Can you please share your firmware file as my android box stops working after 5 minutes. I have tried to do a factory reset but it did not help.
Hello
I´m interested too.
Thanks
New firmware version: 10.1.X18 (Jun 24 2020).
Tested and working.
Changes found:
More CPU frequencies (480Mhz-1512Mhz)
Root switch
Device name changed to "MBox"

Hi
Thanks for the file. I dont know how i can install it.
Where can i find a tuto?
Just google "Allwiner update guide"
Best with Allwinner PhoenixUSB Pro V4.0.0 tool (You need a usb-A to usb-A cable)
Can any one send the default cleaner apk file link, i factory reset my box and debloat all apps.

Yes, I was. I installed another launcher like the ATV launcher. Made that the default launcher and then disabled the aclie ux through adb using "adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 <package_to_disable>".

I installed SMART Launcher, but every time I restart TANIX TX6s Alice UX returns as the default launcher.
I did a test forcing to uninstall ALICE UX but the TX6s didn't boot anymore.
I decided to apply the firmware again. I never used ADB SHELL commands manually. I'll read about it.
Very grateful for the tip.
If you have any tutorial ...

[TX6s] Android TV Box - Alice UX - Launcher Change Help?
I tried magisk manager, loaded on an old version sitting on a memory card and updated it, then I flashed 20.4 magisk with it and both are showing as installed and up-to-date. I still haven't seen any root dialogue and magiskSU is blank. so... do I have 2 root solutions on my device at the same time, one system pre-installed and one systemless ?
EDIT: turning off the root switch and rebooting allowed magisk to pick up the remaining root apps that had superSU through the built-in root. it also allowed adaway to finally install systemless hosts.
turn off root if you flashed magisk via magisk manager don't be a numbskull like me.
I'd be happier if I had TWRP onboard, is there a way to achieve this currently ?

installing titanium from the playstore I was able to freeze the stock ATV YouTube app and replace it with YouTube Vanced 14.21.54 (no more adverts, but tricky navigation) so if Alice is the launchers name freezing that should work with titanium. I watched a video review and using other android TV launchers, works just fine.
I know this is an old thread, but can anyone assist with the TWRP recovery .IMG for the above box or for the H40 Allwinner H616 box..
I need it to temporarily boot into recovery to flash magisk but can't seem to find it anywhere.
PS I have the ZIP but do not want to permanently flash it....
use Magisk Manager to install Magisk, the box is already rooted so this can work.
AFAIK there is no TWRP for this device, nor any roms. we'd need to be passing around a collection plate for donations to a Dev before we were likely to see anything.
Mine is a H40 ....
Same chipset / board, however mine says it's not rooted. I know this rom works on my box, sm1s tested it. How ever all I need is magisk working, so I can fix the gplay certification error. I have apps that need it to work...

check settings / device preferences / about /... see if you have an option called root switch which must toggle root access on and off.
It doesn't. But thanks. I have been able to patch my bootloader to install Magisk
has anyone here tried Edxposed and can report that it works OK ?
I don't have a PC to reflash the device if it goes wrong but I need to get minmin guard onboard as I passionately hate intrusive ads.
if you do have it working which version of Rirucore did you use ?
DON'T USE EDXPOSED both YAHFA and SandHook latest versions lead to a soft brick!
YAHFA let's you get a lot further into the process, but activating 3 modules was enough to ''corrupt'' the rom.
now it's either factory reset or try removing files via ADB on a borrowed laptop. I've suffered so that you don't have to. God I miss TWRP.
Hi!
I tried flash T95's firmware (because of root) i Transpeed h616 (no root), has same device-specification, but It doesn't boot.
Do you know why? Shall I unlock boot-loader first? If yes then fastboot oem unlock works?
Thanks

installing titanium from the playstore I was able to freeze the stock ATV YouTube app and replace it with YouTube Vanced 14.21.54 (no more adverts, but tricky navigation) so if Alice is the launchers name freezing that should work with titanium. I watched a video review and using other android TV launchers, works just fine.

SafetyNet?

Is there anything I can do about this?
Did you try this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/fix-magisk-manager-20-3-ctsprofile-t4080921
- Before starting the steps, uninstall all Magisk modules and reboot.
- If your device is not listed in the Props Config, you can try Google Pixel 2 or 3 and Android 10.
- Don't forget to hide Magisk in the Options and Google Play Services, Google Play Store, Google Pay and all banking/game apps in the Magisk Hide menu.
- You should know that all Samsung services (Pay, Pass, Secure Folder, etc.) related to KNOX will never work after rooting (= KNOX tripped)...

@jhill110 sorry for necroposting this, but does it work out for you?

SafetyNet fix !
Quicker and easier SafetyNet fix :
Erase the cache from Magisk and flash one of these two fixes :
I used the first one and it works so I didn't test the second...
At least Secure Folder is working fine. Knox deployment is behaving weirdly as it is asking a two pass authentication and it is asking a numerical code when I receive an alphanumerical code... ^^
I don't use Samsung Pay (should at least work with Android Pay but I didn't test it) and I don't use Samsung Pass either but I don't think there should be a real problem as it was asking me to set it up but I removed totally from the system...

actually for me safety net fix only works for android 11 version rom of this device, and even then secure folder doesnt work correctly (for me?), it doesnt save the password, and keep poping up asking to set a password whenever I tried to enter it. The device itself become unstable and keep hot rebooting after every unlock, eventually get thermal throttled for no reason. Though the safety net solution I used was this one: kdrag0n/safetynet-fix , and prob not the one you listed actually its the same developer, though his repository does not contain a v2 release. I still gona try it though
edit: working now, not hot rebooting (yet), but secure folder still doesnt save password, thus cant still be used yet

So make sure you pass the SafetyNet test in Magisk. When done and passed, uninstall completely and properly Secure folder from your settings, and reboot.

the safetynet fix worked on my device when the rom is still on android 10. That is to say, it passed the safetynet test. It was extremely unstable though, hot rebooting after every unlock (unlock, black screen samsung, then back to lock screen) I couldn't get into magisk and disable it, had to delete it through twrp. It was until android 11 that I tried it again. not extremely unstable, just "useable unstable". That was the release file on kdrag0n's repository. Your uploaded v2 file works amazingly. Thanks for sharing:>

I wonder why you mention Android 10 when we're with Android 11 for a long time now...
So is your issue totally fixed with no instability at all anymore and is Secure Folder working also ?

I just want to share my experience about the same device with (prob) the same safety net fix that works on yours, but not my device.
yes, with your safety net fix my tab runs absolutely stable, and I've just tried uninstall secure folder and reinstall it again. Its working perfectly now

Phillips Sonicare for Kids Root Check bypass wtf

Backstory: So got my daughter a bluetooth enabled toothbrush named in title, and loaded up the app for it:
Philips Sonicare For Kids - Apps on Google Play
Transform brush time into fun time!
play.google.com
Running on a OnePlus 6, Android 10 stock firmware other than bootloader unlocked, Magisk installed. Start it up, whines it is rooted and refuses to run. Sputter some colorful language, add app to Magisk Hide, restart, poof, works great.
Now daughter likes it, and don't want to give her my phone twice a day... so open the drawer and pull out an older phone, LG G6. Old firmware, prob full of security issues, figure I'll install LineageOS on it. OK, great, get through all that, shiny running system... repeat app install... and ugh... "t3h r00t3d phone!".
This time, Magisk Hide isn't "fixing" the problem, and I am curious what the difference is... same app version on both phones. Safetynet check passes on both phones. The only real differences I can cite are (1) Android 11 OS base and (2) Roar Gapps MiniMe build (vs full Gapp suite on stock OnePlus rom). At this point, there aren't other apps on the device (e.g. SuperSU or similar usual suspect).
Any suggestions on what is different that an app could check and call out a rooted phone?
Answering my own post, in case anyone searches this and finds it helpful...
Turns out this app appears to blacklist Lineage OS.
Reflashed clean, OS only... fail. (No root or safetynet at this point)
Added somewhat normal Gapps, now with working safetynet... fail.
Didn't need to install Magisk at this point.
Lets test the theory... grab another OS image at random, flash it (still no Gapps, Magisk, SN)... success!
Install Magisk, still success!

Magisk update now Issue with games (Ingress/Niantic)

Hello I would appreciate some help fixing an issue.
Please excuse my lack of knowlage, I will try to give adequate info. If more info is needed let me know.
I have a Oneplus Nord N10 5G "unlocked" (I believe that means global) Build# BE86AA Model# BE2026 Android ver. 11
The phone has been rooted since October 13-20
I cannot recall the tutorial I followed to root. I do have TWRP and Magisk on the phone. With Magisk 23.0 I passed SafetyNet (I used the built in SafetyNet Checker Via Magisk)
A few days go (Feb/18/22) I updated Magisk(24.1)/App(24.1) Via the Magisk app. I no longer pass SafetyNet (I used Root and SafetyNet Checker from "BetterOpts")
Magisk 24.1 no longer has Magiskhide
Now I cannot play Niantic's game called Ingress.
A message pops up saying "Ingress is not supported on this device configuration"
I had no issue when I had Magisk 23.0 (using magiskhide)
I googled that message and found that Niantic searches for root/rooting apps.
I have messed around with "Magiskhide props config v6.1.2" changing device fingerprint, force basic attestation.
Nothing seemed to help so i Reset all options/settings
I have read many horror stories of people hard bricking or causing more damage by trying to revert/unrooting back to stock.
I think i did a dumb and did not backup anything from Pre-root.
I saw a few posts on reddit/gaming.stackexchange people saying outdated SupperSU caused them to get the message.
I do not have SupperSU.
Another person they deleted a folder called "MAGISKMANAGER" and that solved the message.(this post was back in 2019)
I'm not sure if they unrooted and thats why they deleted the folder.
I couldn't find a folder with that name.
A lot of posts I found all say "Use Magiskhide"
But Magiskhide has been removed from Magisk24.0+
I did a search (using files app) and found Magisk.apk(s)
Magisk_patched
and Magisk-23.0.zip
I'm not sure if should delete these. Not sure if deleting (or moving files to computer) would cause problems on the phone at next reboot.
I am no rooting expert so again please excuse my ignorance. again if more info is needed please let me know and i will answer to my best ability.
Do you recommend a Hide Root App/Mod?
Should I install Xposed Framework via Magisk?
Thank you for your time and advice
Edit:
I am very stupid. I found kdrag0n safetynet-fix from Github.
Downloaded the latest release (2.2.1)
Installed Via Magisk app
Rebooted
Ingress works
I'm thinking of leaving this post up. It might help someone?
If you still need to upgrade to Magisk 24.1 then study at least the start of this thread. Maybe not for now but in the future.
Magisk 23 and lower will not be supported any longer.
Wonderful new week for you !

I saw that thread right after i made my post.I thought about deleting the post. I'm sure there will be other people who will update without reading beyond "New update" and hopefully this will find them and steer them toward getting their device up and running.
For anyone curious.
Go into magisk settings, use the option to change magisks package name.
Then enable Zygote mode.
Reboot your phone.
Go back into your now renamed magisk app (mine is usually named system because who the hell looks at an app named system and think "this is the malicious code, I know it!")
Open your magisk app, go back into the settings and look for the option that says deny, click it and look for the app you're gonna hide from magisk.
If you're looking to use something like Pokemon go, click it twice so that way Zygote rejects both checks.
Now go be a pokemon master
