What version of MIUI have you tried this? Also, what is the effect of receiving the OTA update while still have root?
Thanks for this!
Update: Confirmed working, MIUI 36/

That's not a easy way... It's the same method, I think Philz recovery is more useful and easy to flash zips and for utilities, cwm recovery is tooo basic, and I've taken some time to explain it for newbies so it's lengthy

Your OTA updates wont break if u root it, but u need to unroot before updating
To do OTA update, open updater app and download the update and dont flash it
Copy the OTA update zip from downloaded_rom folder in internal memory to External memory and reboot to recovery and flash it as you flashed superSU zip in rooting process

What do you mean by "Your OTA updates won't break" does it mean I will still be notified if there is an update?

Yep you will get Update notification and the updater app will download it, but as the recovery is not miui so it wont flash it, just manually flash it after unrooting it

Works like a charm!
Works as told on Redmi 1s (Indian version)
Thank you very much bro
Really appreciate it.

super works great!
successfully rooted my device!

Update works without removing root
Hi guys,
This is my first time posting on xda forums. I just wanted to share what happened today.
I rooted my redmi 1s according to the post with philz recovery. However today i recieved the update (MIUI v45) and without realizing that the update was already downloaded i clicked on update and got scared because it says here that it wont be able to update because the stock recovery is missing. But what happened was that it booted into philz recovery and updated through that. It took longer than usual around 15 mins I would say but It got updated.
It gave me option to retain the root and the custom recovery to which I said yes. And it worked. I still have my root permssions, all the root apps and phils recovery.

indian rom
i flashed PA IN MY PHONE can i get the indian rom back ??? i cant find indian miui rom anywhere

Thanks a lot for this tutorial..

Thanks a ton, works like a charm!!!
I did as explained and got it working with ease!
I also installed no frill cpu app and tinkered with the settings some!
Will report on the changes in heating or battery life due to this underclocking!
Can't undervolting help?
Just one question, why does not the native security pop-up come instead of superSU one?

Because MIUI superuser is a little buggy and unresponsive sometimes and hence superSU app will do the same work and MIUI will collect private data but superSU app will never do that so I think This SuperSU app is way better than native MIUI

Viper4Audio issues

I'm having some issues getting Viper to work on my N5X running 0409 CM13 nightly.
I have busybox (the recommended one from the material Viper thread), SELinux is Permissive (set through SELinuxModeChanger) and the app has root access (just CM root though, not SuperSU, as installing that got me in a bootloop).
Whenever I try to install it takes a long while and the app stops responding but after ~2 minutes I get the "instalation successful" message and prompted to reboot. Upon reboot I get the initial prompt to install/update driver, as if it wasn't installed.
What's going on? Thanks!

standard installation of v4a doesnt work anymore with nexus 6p/5x bec of the vendor file so dirty flash your rom + gapps + whatever mod you have except for any audio mods then go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/themes-apps/viper4android-t2952137
and flash ViPERAtmos 4.8 Sony Beats Edition.zip then follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/themes-apps/viper4android-t2952137/post66295480#post66295480 to make soundcloud and other apps get processed with viper/pulse (if your rom has pulse)

SU wont install, better audio mod and kernel

So I'm running lineage 14.1 as they finally released a copy for the A5(2017) and I can't seem to install SU, it said binary is full. I would use magisk but alot of stuff still does not support it. How would I hide root from apps with SU? I have tried a few ways and it failed. Second the audio tweak lenage has is terrible, how would I remove it and go to a better one? And finally what are some good custom kernels that are compatable with Lineage and the Samsung galaxy A5(2017)

LOS come with pre installed root. U have to flash a zip to enable it.
https://download.lineageos.org/extras
Flash appropriate zip from above link (arm64)
Use ViperForAndroid for better audio
Use alphabet kernel for more tweeks
Pls do some research before posting.

I have done research and flashed it but I absolutely hate the built in root. Viper last time I tried won't work and I can't set SE Linux to permissive and alphabet kernel does not specify what OS's it supports and have had it where it kept rebooting my phone on stock kernel settings.

So alphabet kernel caused lineage OS to go into an infinite boot loop and viper needs permissive SElinux which I have not been able to do. Can anyone help me? I know alphabet you can set it to permissive but caused lineage to infinitely boot

Moving from Android 8.0.0 to the last released v10.0 Dec 2019 - Path and Recommendati

So as the title says, need collective experience to make the move, and be preemptive along the way of the possible pitfalls and limitations.
Havent experimented much with my XL 128GB lying circa 2018 when i bought it and it still runs fine. As of now it is :
1. Google model (not any carrier branded unit).
2. Android V 8.0.0
3. Bootloader Unlocked (OEM Unlocking enabled int he Developer Options)
4. Rooted.
5. Custom recovery TWRP 3.2.0.-0 installed.
My primary intended use was to make it my music player with AptX-HD and LDAC enabled via the Developer Options, for my wireless hifi headphones and it has been doing so.
As an semi-audioholic I have Viper4Android and Dolby ATMOS working fine on it, with Sony Walkman App, these were only found to work correctly on 8.0.0 as i did spent a great deal of time to make them work with 8.1.1 back in the day.
So I am looking for the most safest route to upgrade to 10.0.0 with the possibility of knowing if the below would remain applicable.
1. Should I go for OTA update as-is OR Do i need to relock bootloader or Un-root before the OTA update. (Any sequence or specific steps to be followed).
2. Will the OTA update lock the bootloader and will remove the root privileges.
3. Is it possible to unlock the bootloader and re-root the device on v.10.0.0 (any guide link appreciated).
4. Will the OTA overwrite the TWRP recovery, is there any newer/better recovery + kernel available with V.10.0.0 (any guide link appreciated).
5. Will ARISE audio (Viper + Dolby + Sony Music Apps) work on the latest android version.
6. Is all the hassle recommended, if the experience is significantly better on v.10.0.0. Any known issues with the latest android, which I should be aware of.
7. Any alternate way and/or newer/better DSP recommended to work with v.10.0.0 for sound enhancements.
8. Is Magisk framework and module working with v.10.0.0.
Thanks for reading and replying , as it would chalk out a path not only for me but for community at large for someone on a similar quest as mine.
Appreciate your input.

1. Download a pixel factory image from Google(latest is Dec 2019) and flashed it using fastboot( u will find guide on xda or YT)
2 Do not relock botloader if you want to root or install custom rom
3. Dolby Atmos will not work,if you flash Dolby Atmos mod zip in magisk it may cause bootloop .viper fx may work never tried
4. Android 10 is much better in user experience it is smooth
5. You can root your phone using latest magisk in twrp
6. There are some good kernel available for android 10 for pixel like Elemental x 5.6, king kernel v6.1, etc.
7. There is no sound enhancement mod for android 10, viper may work
8. U can't do some system modification like changing boot animation, system sound, font by yourself. If u want customization u can install custom rom though
My english is bad
hope this will help u

4. Any issues in v10.0.0 which I should be aware of. (Battery Drain, Lags or anything else).

1 Yes pixel factory image will overwrite custom recovery
2. You can install a custom recovery as well as custom rom after 10
3. You don't need custom recovery permanently installed to root your phone. ( Temporary boot into twrp using fastboot and twrp.img and install magisk)
4. If you pixel is old consider a Battery drain as battery life decreases with age
5. Follow the link

Actually I never permanently install TWRP. If the latest TWRP not works for you try using earlier version and see if that works.

TWRP is Optional. It's written over there in the OP of each Rom
I always did USB debugging option enabled in developer option and give my PC Authorization. So if something goes wrong I can always flash a factory image. In Android 10 I can't make a nandroid backup of the stock rom before flashing any custom rom. so there no point to install TWRP permanently because if something goes wrong u can't restore a backup. If I want in flash any zip in TWRP I always temporary boot into it using fastboot and flash.
TWRP will be permanently needed when you want to install ota updates for the ROM.
I am not an expert though
Please follow the OP :good:

Question Custom Romming A225M

Hello.
I have the Samsung A22 4G (SM-a225m) And want to custom rom it, but how? I am hating one ui and really want to change to a custom rom, I know how to install custom recoveries like TWRP but I dont really know the custom rom installation. If someone could help me do it and send me the link of the file and how to install it. Thanks anyway.

if you follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...axy-a22-sm-a225f-a225m-android-11-12.4333305/ after installing twrp, there should be a gsi installing method and follow that, but be warned, bluetooth headphones dont output audio from my knowledge and you have to go into phh setttings, samsung features and alternative audio policy, speakers will work but you cant control audio, thats why you follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...stem-that-wont-let-you-change-volume.4550239/ for a workaround to control audio. Hope it helps!

It does not work, I had to reflash stock rom again, I would prefer someone having the a225m with a custom rom to tell me how to do it, the guide doesnt work

I have the A225M, some custom roms do not boot, for example project elixer does not boot but spark os 13 gsi is working and boots fine, just go into twrp and click restart restart fastboot then you type fastboot devices to check if the device is detected, then you type fastboot flash system pathtogsi.img then type fastboot reboot, if the device keeps rebooting, the gsi is not bootable, hope it helps!

what version do you used? bvn or bgn?

I believe you should try to go with BgN whenever you can

I installed it and wifi and bluetooth doesnt work

go to this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/fusion-kernel-for-a225f-a225m-android-11-12.4337511/ and flash the kernel via twrp, has wifi drivers but bluetooth should work by default
