Can't flash Magisk from Fastboot - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers

EDIT:
Long story short, Magisk image was being flashed, but Magisk Manager kept telling me Magisk Is Not Installed.
Found the reason myself: By default, apps on my phone are set to be installed to my SD card. Magisk Manager does not like this. Switch it to internal storage and you're all good.
Perhaps it would be of help to confused people such as myself if daisy-specific guides would mention this.
Mods please close/delete this thread.

Folder Mount

Rooted now my G5 on Stock Rom, also get Root Access but get 2 issues which wasn´t planned :silly:
1. getting all couple of seconds a information that LED notifier are allowed to get root access (yes, it is set on don´t ask again, allow without timelimit...)
2. Reason why I´m rooted the phone was: Want a Couple of apps save on SD Card, now foldermount mention that supersu isn´t installed so can´t work properly
Any Ideas or maybe an alternative app to install apps on sd?
some apps only work with a certain superuser
superSU does work with the G5 but I don't think it works with stock rom - although I haven't tried (you have to root first then switch superuser although like I said haven't tried with stock rom but I have got supersu working on lineageos but I would stick to the inbuilt root)
If you want to root the G5 with stock I would use magisk - you need version 11.6 to flash in twrp then you can update to the latest version in magisk manager - only root works with magisk - dont use magisk hide or modules as they are currently not supported
If you are on lineageos just flash the suaddon zip (see the first post instructions on lineageos dev page)
An alternative app would be link2sd - please note you can natively move apps to sd but any apps that use a widget or require anything to do with internal storage will no longer work
For these apps its best to symlink them - this requires you to create a 2nd ext partition on your sd card then you link these apps to your sd card - They will then be on your sd card but act as though they are on internal because they are symlinked
Be warned that the more apps you link in this way you may find your phone become more laggy

application to move app on sd card

Good morning, I have a xiaomi redmi 3 with 16gb of internal memory and a sd card of 64gb class 10 and has the root.
I have already tried Link2sd for a fee, but many apps crash or are very slow.
I wanted to ask you if you used an app for this purpose and how it went.
on another forum I have advised Magisk but I have SuperSu installed do not conflict?
If your phone os rooted just simply install xposed framework.
Then, install the module named XinternalSD ..
good luck

thanks R3pro for the answer. I wanted to ask you if I can install xposed framework even if I have twrp?
I read various discussions here on the forum with instructions to install xposed framework on my device.
I find the XinternalSD module on xposed framework after I installed it? do I have to reformat the sd card?
I'm now trying App2sd works much better than link2sd at least on my terminal. I only had problems with twitter that no longer worked.
a greeting and thanks again

Of course you can install xposed framework if you have TWRP.
you will find the modules afrer installing xposed framework and no need to reformat the sdcard.
Definately Apps2SD: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd.pro&hl=pl
It has also free version.
For me it's better than the more popular Link2SD because it's more clear and stable.
I've been playing many games moved on the microSD card (class 10) and
no problems encountered. Make sure you move only APK and OBB,
sometimes external data, but NOT LIB and not DEX. It may cause problems.
Dex and Lib and in most cases Data - better stay in internal memory.
Magisk is useful when you have some apps that doesn't run when root is present/detected,
for ex bank apps, game "Super Mario Run"
But to use Magisk you better first do full unroot in SuperSU.
Always remember to do backup before such operations

Magisk and storage showing only 32GB

I thought the problem was because I flashed the wrong firmware but it seems to be because of magisk.
I first flashed original firmware for my region. The storage correctly shows a capacity of 128GB. Then I copied the AP to my phone, used Magisk Manager 7.3.4 to patch AP file with Magisk 19.3 and then rebooted. After that, there is only 32GB available...
I didn't install Magisk canary version, because last time I did I got a corrupted AP file. Maybe it's fixed in canary?

Question, Galaxy a50 broke internal storage after flashing TWRP

Hey there,
I have the Galaxy a50 SM-A505Fn and I just broke my internal storage by flashing TWRP and Multidisabler.
First, I should note that I am completely blind, so I use TWRP with ADB in CMD.
First I tried to root my phone with a patched boot image, using Magisc, but that didn't work, so I switched to TWRP.
After flashing it with Odin and booting into the recovery, my pc saw it as Galaxy A50 and the folders inside it were literal giberish and I couldn't paste anything in it, so I switched to a micro SD to flash Disabler and that worked surprisingly well.
Note, I did the wiping before that.
After the disabler worked, I rebooted into TWRP and used the command to reboot into recovery, as I was instructed, then the phone booted up just fine.
I set it up, and gained root with Magisc manager, but after connecting it to the PC to get the sound files I wanted to change it was still giberish and didn't let me make folders or paste anything into it.
The card also looked like it had the internal storage files like you would see on any phone, it had like 256 KB used on it from 2 gb it is formated at since I used it for a pi before and didn't have time to fix the capacity on it back to 64, but again you can't put anything onto it while in the phone.
Any help on how to make it work like normal?
Also apps don't see the storage properly either, so I can't use it for the reasons I rooted it for.
Thanks a lot.
After reading about it, it seems that the storage is encripted.
I managed to flash Infinity os on it, but the thing doesn't talk since it is missing text to speech, so I wanted to flash a zip to make it talking.
After rebooting into twrp, again, still encripted.
Got the zip onto my card, but doesn't flash, which is fine since that can be fixed, but I can't really do anything to fix it.
Does anyone know the command to format data?
twrp format data doesn't work like in the TWRP guide.
Any ideas?
you need to install multidisabler

Did that already, that is how I flashed a rom on it, but was still encripted.
The rom said that there is a problem with my device, but it set up just fine.
I am back on ful stock right now and it decripted, I might try it again in some time.
The only things I want from root is to be able to change system sounds, to add haptic feedback which I already did and tweak it so it works faster.
If I could change the sounds without root and without event sound that would be awesome and would let me stay on stock.

Good thing you got it decrypted back again, i have had kind of the same issue with internal storage decreasing drastically multiple times, as far as i understood it happens when i install patched AP with magisk then install multidisabler and reboot it without formatting the whole device, maybe try that when your root next time to get past the internal storage issue. Note that mine was in android 9 and device storage was not encrypted unlike yours.
And as a suggestion, if there's someone near you who can help you with actually rooting your device with magisk rather than TWRP it will be much easier.
Regards

I've got the patched image for AP from a friend, also patched TWRP, but it did that after flashing auto disabler and wiping everything, so I still don't get it.
Anyway, it is back for now and I will have to see if it breaks next time I install twrp on it.

Change r/w permissions to delete AKP?

I have Magisk rooted global 10.0.15 rom on my OnePlus 7T.
While looking around I found the following apk - please reference attached screenshot.
I can't delete these apks and mount r/w does nothing; nor changing permissions either.
So, is thier any way to delete these apks?
Will deleting these apks have any side effects?
Haven't determined if a Magisk module could exist to deal with this (r/w permissions)?
Will I have to figure out abd commands on Windows 10 or live Linux CD/USB drive? It's it any easier using Linux?
Thanks
Use ADB or magisk debloat module, otherwise no way.
Just freeze them.. I'm guessing it's not a storage issue but a personal bloat-ware issue that you don't want those apks running at all... So the easiest way for that to happen is to just put them on ice.
Sorry to revive a most likely dead issue....
But...
I've only used TWRP on my OnePlus once... Lost TWRP with OTA update - so I really didn't get much of a chance to familiarize myself with TWRP on any OnePlus - like I've previously done with all my prior Samsung's.
Having said all that: I think I remember TWRP has a storage/file manager?
If that's correct... Then can I drill down into the OOS and delete whatever I like as opposed to the previously provided solutions (and yeah I've used both solutions with thanks
For freezing apps I'm loving SD Maid and enjoy the additional features of that app and worth much more than I paid for it and it's wonderful that it's still seems to be maintained over the years....
