Nice work as always
This will be my first update and I just have a few questions. I'm currently on 14a and it was on that before I unlocked the bootloader and rooted. It's on stock firmware. What is the proper procedure for updating the firmware when you are bootloader unlocked and rooted? I'm sure you can't do it through the update center so would the proper method be to download this and flash it in twrp? I'm also assuming doing that will break my root so I would most likely have to reinstall that correct? Just curious, thanks
I installed the OTA today and have massive battery drain. About 10-15% an hour. Looks like I'll have to factory reset and see if it fixes it.

You can flash the KDZ with lg up or you use my zip.
my zip breaks nothing.
Us997 twrp rooted
When I checked the update center the OTA (582.28mb) was there. Should I install it that way or would it delete twrp and unroot my phone.

That's exactly what it will do. If you are already rooted, use the zip.
I did a clean install of this ROM (formatted everything except the MicroSD card). When it booted up, it said something about my password was correct but there was an encryption error. The only option was to reset the data. After that, it only boots into TWRP. I've formatted everything and reinstalled the ROM, but it always reboots to TWRP. I reformatted and installed LineageOS and it still reboots into TWRP. I never told it to encrypt my phone and I was running LineageOS before flashing this ROM.
Any ideas?

flash kdz with lg up an then flash twrp and root again. its a partition fault from lineage and all the other unoffical builds
I flashed the 16A KDZ with LGUP, flashed TWRP, and flashed SuperSU. So my phone is back up and running.
FYI: I was on the official LineageOS for the US997 before trying this ROM. If there is a way to flash this ROM from LineageOS it would help to note it in this thread so others don't have to go through the steps I did to get their phone working again.
Thanks westwood24; I did a bunch of flashing roms today and this made it much easier to reset the baseline when I got myself in trouble!
Any way you could make an update for 16A?
Notification Issues
Has anyone noticed their notifications not being grouped together or is that just me? The Gmail notifications show up separately in the status bar as do those from textra. I have found no settings on the LG menu for changing this. Anyone know of a fix?

I've been toying around with Android since it's Lollipop versions, rooting them, intalling custom ROMs etc. Probably 6 years. More than 7 devices.
As far as installing a custom ROM on this phone (Redmi 7A) is concerned, the different versions, like Indian, Global have different drivers or HAL's.
So, after successfully booting up into MOKEE OS on my variant 3-4 times, Torch, Audio, Video, Calls...... Nothing worked.
And to be very honest, there was nothing mentioned about this in MOKEE OS thread, as to which version of this device is not compatible with the ROM. The only reason I messed up was because the introduction of GSI ROMs has made the custom ROM creation process easier, but introduced a ****load of work in some devices, and ending up causing trouble.
This was the reason I requested all the steps in the thread so I could verify if I was missing some important step as far as the Indian variant is considered.
But thanks to everyone, I successfully booted Mokee ROM with everything working on my variant, including superuser privileges.
Also I messed up partitions in TWRP, and ended up with only 22gigs of Internal storage available, lol.
Thanks.
Tried @Tenome7 patched boot file for latest nightlly mokee OS 10, it bootloops, patched my own boot file, it still boot loops.
It seems impossible to get magisk working in mokee OS.
Ok I figured it out, AFTER you flash the patched boot.img you need to format the data partition, you'll loose all your data, however the ROM will boot.
I'm running Android 10 mokee os, more stable and no bugs compared to lineage os 17 rom

Sorry for being so late to reply here. I would suggest using MIUI v10.2.10.0 as the base over which the Mokee OS needs to be installed.
As far as root is concerned, I tried Magisk but it gave me bootloops every time. As an alternative to getting root, I flashed the AddonSU installer which I downloaded from the Mokee Official site. You would just need to find it on the website.
I hope this helps. If you have further doubts, I'll stay a bit more active here. :fingers-crossed:
I want to unroot, but when i choose restore images in magisk manager it says stock backup doesnt exist. I downloaded the patched boot and stock boot.img prior to rooting, i didnt use magisk to patch the stock boot. What do i do now, i want to unroot and install ota on my xiaomi mi a3.
Can anybody help me?
I need the new version of patcher and the creator's website doesn't load me correctly.

..but it didn't happen
* Requires internet connection. (it downloads latest Magisk release during process)
..I still don't have root
someone will help
Thank you
I asked the developer about a similar issue with the downloadable patcher, and he suggested me to try with the online one, which is more up to date.

Descendant is a customised Android ROM that focuses on enhancing UX and UI
over stock Android along useful features.
Downloads
Head to the download page. Download the zip and *-boot.img for your device.
Sources
Githubhttps://github.com/Descendant-Devices
Backup internal storage, wiping data will delete everything.
Reboot to fastboot and flash the provided boot.img with the following commands:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot /path/to/*-boot.img
Reboot into recovery using volume and power buttons and select "Apply update from ADB," then:
Code:
adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip
In recovery before rebooting, make sure to factory reset/wipe data on first install. No wipes are needed between updates from Descendant itself, unless specified.
Reboot into the system and you should be good.
But please, mind, we won't support any issue arising from Magisk nor relative modules.
Listing all the additions would be a huge wall of text, that you wouldn't even read.
So, head over the Telegram group and feel free to lurk.
Preloaded applications
Google Apps are included.
Having a bug or not booting for whatever reason?
Look for "How to report bugs" on this post.
Bug reports without logs will be ignored.

Magisk Question
Hello. First of all, great ROM, thank you for putting it together and supporting our device! I just picked up the Pixel 3a XL and am getting it configured with my first custom ROM. I installed it this morning and it seems to be working great.
I have a question about Magisk and how to use it with a custom ROM. While I have been using custom ROMs for years on my devices, this is my first attempt to use Magisk on a Android 10 device with the new partition system (without TWRP). I followed the basic instructions for Magisk and was able to get it working on the latest stock ROM but I am unsure whether I need to patch (from Magisk) the included Boot.img file that comes with Descendant or do something else. I tried patching it but when I rebooted after installing via the bootloader, the Magisk app is saying its not installed. Any help you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks again for the great build.

Myself and most others have done it the same way you have: manually patch the downloaded boot image in magisk manager after setup, reboot to bootloader, fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img.
I'd recommend trying to patch and flash magisk_patched.img again from the boot image you downloaded.

Yeah, the odd thing is, at least so far, I've been getting "FAILED (remote: Failed to write to partition Not Found)" when not specifying a slot during a flash. So I use GETVAR to figure out where I'm supposed to go and flash there.

Update your platform-tools. This is likely due to the change they made a while back to how specifying a partition is handled in fastboot.

I'm not sure but assuming it's the a/b version to download. I also don't see a boot.img on the download page. Am I missing it somewhere?
Hasn't been updated in like 2 months if I am reading it right
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any bricked phones or otherwise but this is how I updated to the latest version.
Flashing backwards has not been tried by myself, use at your own risk.
Only flashing the same version of ROM was tried, global for global.
I tried the local update method that is built into the MIUI ROM, my bootloader is still locked, and you can only use OFFICIAL MIUI ROM's.

You've older version of miui installed with twrp and device is rooted.
1) you don't need to wipe anything. Just flash the rom and If you want you can wipe caches after flashing the rom.
2) TWRP might get replaced with stock one so flash twrp immediately after flashing the ROM. Also flash DM Verity disabler zip otherwise miui will replace twrp with stock recovery.
3) According to topjohnwu, the method of getting magisk by flashing in recovery is old & deprecated and maintained with minimal efforts & no longer recommended.

Ok so for those interested, here’s how I did it :
- in Magisk I chose uninstall - restore image
- did the ota the normal way before any reboot
then had to reroot :
- downloaded the fastboot firmware here
- extracted boot.img from archive and transfered it to phone
- in magisk click install then select boot.img
- magisk writes a new file magisk_patched_[random_strings].img, copied it to pc
- booted the phone in fastboot mode
- used fastboot.exe with command fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_[random_strings].img
Done. No data or settings lost.
Hi everybody,
I just got a ZenFone 8 16GB ram, I recently unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP.
So I've managed to flash LineageOS, but I'm not sure exactly what is going on. I wasn't able to flash the usual way via TWRP, but sideload via ADB. When reboot to Recovery, it reboots into Lineage Recovery.
I am somewhat aware that there is an A/B partition and this is my first A/B device, is there any way I can access TWRP? Or it has to run Lineage Recovery? Any way to only run 1x Recovery?

As far as I know, Lineage overwrites TWRP with its own recovery, so you have to flash it again.

Hey thanks for the quick reply. I wasn't aware that was the case.
So this means that my "A" slot is now vacant and I will now need to reflash TWRP yes?
Thanks for your time.
Edit: Lineage Recovery shows that it's on "B" slot

How A/B Partitions and Seamless Updates Affect Custom Development on XDA
You may have heard of Seamless Updates before. It involves something called "A/B partitions." What is it and how does it affect custom development on XDA?
www.xda-developers.com
If you update the firmware on your device, it will flash new update to the opposite slot. usually a firmware.zip that is let´s call it a "full firmware.zip", such as lineage or the stock rom has recovery included. so you´re ending up with TWRP being "overwritten" in case you flash an update.
Unpack the payload.bin in any of those full firmware.zips via payload extractor on your pc. You´ll see all the .imgs contained. All of those partitions will be updated on the opposite slot if you flash the full firmware zip.
That means boot.img will be overwritten (magisk will be gone if you don´t choose the install magisk to inactive slot after OTA in magisk manager before rebooting the phone after the stock firmware.zip has flashed for example).

Cheers thanks for your reply and explanation.
Appreciate your efforts and time taken to explain. Thanks for your time.
EDIT - just to be sure, if we were to update the firmware on our devices while running say LineageOS, the payload.bin will need to be extracted and the relevant files flashed correct?

I don't know, but I guess if LOS supplied in form of payload.bin instead of many .img files then I think it's better to unpack all img's from there replace recovery and patched boot and "repack" it back if it's possible. At least that was the way I did that on Samsung phones. But there was only .tar archives, so that was much easier than .bin to repach which I think you will need some additional software.

I'm not sure about the current situation on unofficial lineage. I'm also not using it on my zf8 but from others phones, which should apply to zf8 as well.
I'm pretty sure official lineage builds have an inbuilt OTA mechanism. Unsure about the unofficial one. Better ask in the lineage thread.
However, you can boot to lineage recovery and flash the lineage.zip from there without wiping the device if you were previously on lineage and are just updating.
If you want to be rooted you need to patch the boot.img from this update (extract from payload.bin if not already available) and flash it via fastboot after updating.
By telling you to extract payload.bin I just wanted to visualize what's being updated during flashing a firmware.zip so you have a better idea how it works.
Hi there, thanks for the replies.
Sorry I wasn't being clear. By firmware updates I meant the official Asus firmware updates which are zips containing payload.bin.
What I really meant to ask was the possibility of updating the Asus firmware when still running a non Asus ROM eg LineageOS.
Earlier on I've tried to reflash TWRP over the existing LineageOS recovery and it didn't seem to work so not sure what I did wrong there. Device still boots to LineageOS and running Lineage Recovery on "B".
Thanks guys for your time and replies.
Edit - the goal at the end of the day I guess is to
1. run a custom ROM (LineageOS, GSI, Omni etc.)
2. run TWRP
3. able to update Asus firmware when available

Am I missing something? I don't see a build for any of these devices on the crdroid website or on their sourceforge.

Nope, seems to only be available for instantnoodlep (8 Pro). Thread is misleading, especially considering that it's in the cross dev section while only being available for one 8 series device..
Thank you.
Can I flash it with A12 firmware on the 8t?

Read the OP, there is a bit of a section on the flashing instructions and requirements. They are there for a reason.
Hey dev ty for this great rom.
All apps and features work flawlessly. The only problem I see is the scrolling performance is a bit bad, there are minor stutters.
Where can I find the latest OOS13 (F.13) for the OP8t

I think you must update via OTA. Like A12 fw.

So return to stock OOS?
@sauaditi
does it only come as an update again, like the old version (crdroid8)? Because then you can save yourself all the hassle.
@All
can someone report whether you can use the whole thing as a daily driver?

Guess I will stay on Lineage 19 for now. Going back to stock is too much of a hassle.

fastboot reboot recovery
sideload OP8T_DDR5_Android13_F13_EU_Firmware
sideload copy_partitions.zip
(to put the stuff on both slots)
That's the way, right?
After that:
Wipe data/Factory resetS
sideload rom
reboot to recovery
sideload gapps
reboot to recovery
sideload Magisk
reboot to system
I am on real c33 stock, can I flash this fw f13 without problems over c33? Maybe it runs with my actually A12 Aicp? So I can flash it before I flash crdroid9.

I'm not doing all this,
I'm using fastboot Rom installer,
Go to recovery,
Reset,
Change firmware
Go to fastboot
Run Rominstaller
Reboot recovery
Go adb for gapps and magisk
Reboot that's all
Please delete.
