How to install cyanogenmod on HTC One M8?

Hi,
I searched online for 2 hours but I see a lot of mixed, outdated articles, videos. For example Hasoon's app link doesn't work, or the cyanogenmod installer link for your phone is giving me 404.
I don't want to do something stupid so can someone tell me or show me a guide on how to install this?
My phone is from Rogers (contract ended). I just want a fast and light weight android without bloatware and nice features.
Will I have to find a cyanogenmod release from someone who use Rogers, or can you use the same build on that's built for M8 regardless of your phone company?
Thanks a lot.

Have you done anything to the phone yet (unlock bootloader, s-off, root, etc.) or still just fully stock?
Is the phone currently on Lollipop? You'll want updated hboot to run current CM12.1.
Don't bother with toolkits and the like. The toolkits haven't been updated in over a year, contain obsolete files, and that will cause you more problems than anything. The steps are not that hard to do "manually", and that is a much better learning process. The toolkits shortcut that learning process; putting you in a position to get into a jam, with no knowledge of how to get out of it.

Thanks a lot for replying. I unlocked the bootloader, s is off, but I don't know how to root. I think it's superSU right? If so, I assume I will do this by installing this zip after I flash the cyan mod?
I downloaded these to my phone:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
I assume I just have to format/adv format everything and install these zip files using TWRP, right? If so, that wasn't hard
But I have another problem. I don't have an SD card or OTG cable to store these zip files outside the phone. I have usb flash memory/stick, HDDs but AFAIK I need OTG cable to use them with my phone.
Also another thing that concerns me is the new Android version is coming next week, right? So should I wait for it and use that cyan mod?
Are you able to get OTA updates with cyan as easily without having to flash your phone every time?
Thanks again

No need to flash SuperSU to root after flashing CM.
Go into Developer's Options in phone's settings (may need to tap version number 7 times to make Dev Options appear) then turn on root there.

Before doing anything, make a TWRP backup of your current (presumably stock Sense) ROM.
Then backup any user data you want to keep, by method of your choice (Titanium Backup, cloud, copy to PC, etc).
Then do a wipe. I would only recommend the default Wipe option (user data, cache and Dalvik) in TWRP. Right in TWRP, it says "most of the time, this is the only wipe you will need" (or words close to that effect) and it says that for good reason.
You certainly don't want to wipe "everything". If you wipe internal storage, you will lose the TWRP backup I just told you to make. Plus you will wipe the ROM and gapps zips you are going to flash, if you put them on internal storage.
Some folks swear by wiping system when flashing ROMs. I don't like this, since if for some reason the ROM fails to flash, you are then stuck with no OS (although you will have a TWRP backup, that I just told you to make). If you run into problems, you can always wipe system later and flash again. But honestly, after many ROM flashes on several different devices, and I've never once had to wipe system, that I recall. Unless of course the ROM instructions require to wipe system. If that is the case, follow the instructions.
After default wipe, flash the ROM, and flash gapps. Then reboot.

I don't follow what the problem is. It looks like you have the files on a PC. Just connect your phone by USB, then copy and past the files to the phone's internal storage.
Don't know why you want to store the files "outside the phone" (and not on the PC) unless you are talking about wiping internal storage. Again, it isn't necessary to do that.

It usually takes a bit of time for a new Android version to be ported over to a respective device. Than a bit more time, for it to be fairly stable. So its up to you, but I say why wait. You can always flash again when CM13 (or whatever its going to be called) is released on the M8.
One of the things about flashing ROMs, is it can be addictive. So if you have the urge and time to do it now, just do it!

I actually don't use CM on the M8, so check the CM thread for any discussion on this.
Even if OTA updates aren't functional (no idea if they are or not), you can often download and "dirty flash" new updates (like nightlies). Dirty flash, means you just wipe cache and Dalvik and flash the ROM, keeping user data. Its very fast, since you don't need to setup the phone again.
Although, sometimes a dirty flash won't work, and you need to do a full flash. When CM13 comes out, you will probably need to do a full wipe before flashing it. And likewise, you probably won't want to do an OTA update to CM13 either.

Thanks a lot man, you cleared many of my questions. Regarding the storage, sorry they are already on my phone, so the phone has internal storage and another separate storage? I thought HTC One M8 had a single storage inside so if you delete things, everything is deleted.
But since you said don't delete system, then this is not an issue?
Also by system, does it mean actual stock android system files? Won't these files conflict with CM's own system files? Or if they are bloated with time, usage etc, then this will leave these unnecessary files behind?
Thanks again

Nope, the storage is actually partitioned into something like 41 separate partitions: system, hboot, recovery, radio, data, boot, and (of course) many more.
So when you say you want to wipe "everything" I said you don't want to do this, and I really mean it.
Plus, one of the Advanced wipe options in TWRP is the removable SD, which most folks will not want wiped, most of the time.
So again, use the default wipe option in TWRP. Only pick the Advanced options, if you know exactly what you are doing, and fully understand the result of wiping that selection.
The "default" TWRP wipe just wipes user data, cache and Dalvik. Internal storage (which is data/media) is actually not touched, and that is most likely where you placed the ROM and gapps files (plus its the default location for TWRP backups, Titanium Backup and some other things).

Correct.

If you are still on the stock ROM (haven't flashed any ROM yet, was I assume is the case) then YES, system partition is where the actual stock ROM (stock Android system files) are currently located.

Nope, when a ROM is successfully flashed, it will wipe system, then install the new ROM on the system partition.
This is another reason why I say its not necessary to manually wipe system in TWRP. It will happen anyway when you flash the ROM. But if for some reason the ROM fails to flash (not unheard of, for various reasons), you will still have have a working phone if you didn't wipe system.

Thanks. I made a stupid mistake before reading your last post, now it seems like my phone's data storage is completely empty I restarted into bootloader and added TWRP to it again using Windows. But then I chose restart on that bootloader menu and now the phone screen is stuck in HTC android boot screen. I couldn't turn the phone off or restart. Do you know how to fix this?

I managed to fix it and now I am in cyan Looks really good, I will be customizing it now but it feels snappy
Thanks again man

TWRP 3.2.3-0 Released
Aug 6, 2018
TWRP 3.2.3-0 is out now for most currently supported devices.
What's new in 3.2.3-0:
* Fix automatic installing of OTA zips on encrypted devices
* Remove SuperSU from TWRP
* Support both md5 and md5sum file extensions when doing MD5 checking for zip files
Want to get notifications when we release new versions of TWRP? Install the TWRP app and select your device!
We need your help! The bulk of TWRP work is done by a handful of people on a volunteer basis. We have pushed most of our device files to our github and we have a gerrit instance. If you have the ability, please help us maintain our official devices and/or add your device to our official device list. Thanks in advance!
You can track the progress of builds here
Update 21/9/2018
Beta build released.
Current status - Beta (tested working)
Treble supported
Pretty much everything is working except for ADB and MTP at the moment.
You flash this at your own risk. Please ensure you have the stock ROM to hand downloaded from SAMMOBILE in case of problems. This will trip the knox counter.
NOTE: ON ANDROID 5.1.1> DEVICES IT IS NECESSARY TO GO TO:
Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking
AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK FIRST OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER 'BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK' WHEN FLASHING.
*****INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:*****
Flash with ODIN in the AP slot.
1. Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode.
(Hold POWER + VOL DOWN + VOL UP) ]
2. Run ODIN and uncheck Auto reboot.
3. Load the file below into the AP slot and hit start.
twrp_3.2.3-1_t830_26918
4. After flashing and ODIN reports PASS immediately force reboot to recovery. Do NOT let the device boot to the OS.
You should now see TWRP recovery.
NOTE: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE STEPS ABOVE IMPLICITLY WILL RESULT IN STOCK RECOVERY REPLACING TWRP AT FIRST BOOT.
*****OREO ROOT INSTRUCTIONS:*****
Note: A MicroSD card is required to install the files below to your device.
1. Flash the Forced encryption disabler patch. This is only required if you wish to have full functionality in TWRP.
Flashing this will disable Samsung's forced encryption. Disabling encryption will allow TWRP to mount the data partition.
After flashing the patch it is necessary to *FORMAT* (not wipe) the /DATA partition using the FORMAT DATA button under the wipe options.
PLEASE NOTE THIS WILL DELETE EVERYTHING ON INTERNAL STORAGE AND FACTORY RESET THE DEVICE, SO BACK UP ANYTHING YOU WISH TO KEEP.
TabS4_oreo_forced_encryption_disabler
2. To root I suggest installing Magisk as this is a currently supported project, SuperSu is no longer getting active development.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
3. Enjoy your rooted device.

This is due to Samsung's current kernel source being totally borked causing many compiler errors I have not yet managed to fix.

Let me be the first to say thank you for this, @ashyx.
I don't have time to flash it until later in the day, but you mention having to use the stock kernel, so I wanted to point you at my repo of Samsung's kernel source for firmware revision ARGH. Samsung hasn't released the source of a more recent version yet.
I built this before I even had the device (before it had even been released in Europe, in fact), so it's also untested, but I did fix all of the compile errors before committing it. You can either clone this repo, or just cherry-pick the commit that fixes all of the compile errors (e1af7e420d4d1eb0a3302d65bb1b6e8e54f7f36b). The defconfig is as released by Samsung, so probably needs a number of config options turned off before it will produce a kernel that will even boot as an unofficial build.
Thanks once again for all of your hard work (often on devices you don't even own).

Ah good stuff.
Yep most of them were include and tracepoint errors. Had pretty much fixed most of them by the looks of it, but got fed up after a while and got stuck at multiple tracepoint defines errors.
Honestly sometimes Samsung just release any old rubbish source code just to comply with the GPL.
No way is this the actual source code used in the stock kernel.
Many thanks for the link to the kernel source. I'll ensure you get some credit for the commits.

Yes, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if we're never able to produce a bootable custom kernel for this device, as with the Tab S3. Once we have TWRP up and running, however, I shall certainly give it my best shot.

It's ridiculous. Many times I have had to debug Samsung kernel sources. As you have discovered some just do not boot the OS no matter what.
I had an issue with the Tab A a while back where no matter what I couldn't get the kernel to boot.
I put a complaint into Samsung's open source dept. and threatened to report it to the GPL for releasing unbootable source code.
Lo and behold the next source code release booted perfectly.

This is really only intended for users who have fair knowledge of flashing custom stuff. I do not recommend for novices until the build is proved stable and proper instructions are available.

I've flashed this now, @ashyx, and there's both good and bad news.
The good news is that it boots!
The bad news is that, although I didn't swipe to allow modifications, it's no longer possible to boot back to system. dm-verity appears to have been triggered. Interestingly, it takes as long as a full boot before the system finally reports Verification failed, so possibly this can still be bypassed by making the right edits from TWRP.
That's all I've done with it at this point. Let me know which steps you would like me to carry out. I'll leave it as is now until I hear from you.
Photos attached. Note the newly appeared open padlock and Custom in the second photo.

I hadn't done any more with it, but I've just tried and data is indeed unmountable.
Less expected is that all other file-systems (system, efs, cache, etc.) are also unmountable. Or is that the result of dm-verity having been tripped?

As I mentioned previously I expected the file system to have access issues due to the kernel.
Will have to patch the kernel to fix that. However no part of DATA will be accessible until formatted.

Ok have recompiled TWRP with the patched kernel and created a patched boot to disable dm-verity and a flashable zip to disable forced encryption.
twrp_3.2.3-1_t830_test_r2
To disable forced encryption, mount internal storage(DATA) and disable dm-verity:
1. Install the patched boot below. This can be installed with ODIN or extract the boot.img and flash with TWRP:
T830XXU1ARH8_dmverity_patched_boot
2. Boot to TWRP
3. Install the Forced encryption patch: TabS4_oreo_forced_encryption_disabler
4. Format DATA using the *FORMAT DATA button* under the wipe options.
(NOTE - THIS WILL WIPE ALL INTERNAL STORAGE!)
5. Reboot and check DATA is mountable
Done.

The thread is only 2 pages, rather than asking you could have read the posts. If you would have read the thread you would see that the recovery is still being developed and has bugs being worked out. There are ways to root your device without twrp. If you need a step by step guide, hold off, because you may need another step by step guide to unbrick your device.

I'm afraid can't boot this version of TWRP. At first, I thought it was because dm-verity was tripped yesterday, so I first performed the factory reset demanded by the device, and then tried again, but no joy.
Instead of TWRP, it boots me into download mode, but rather than the familiar turquoise download screen, I get a mixed splash screen/diagnostic text display. Nevertheless, it is definitely download mode.
From there, I tried reflashing test2 of TWRP followed by the dm-verity patched boot image, but rebooting afterwards always puts me back in download mode. The only way I can seem to get out of it again is by flashing stock firmware.
I can't post a log, obviously, but I've attached a photo of the screen in question.
UPDATE:
I tried reinstalling yesterday's initial build of TWRP, just to see if I could still get into that, and it appears that I can.

It could either be the custom kernel or the dtb, as I have modified both.
However regarding the dtb, I had issues splitting the dtb with aik, so had to use an alternative method.
I will compile twrp with the stock dtb and custom kernel and see how that goes.
Thanks

As you know, I had started work on a version of TWRP for this device myself, but not got very far. Like you, I had run into the issue of the embedded DTB. When I mentioned this to a developer on Telegram, he pointed me at this splitting tool. Before I could use it, however, you announced your build of TWRP, so I never tried it, but perhaps it can be of some use to you now.

Yes thats one of the tools I've used to split the dtb.
It's not the splitting that's the issue I think it's the appending back to the kernel or the custom kernel itself.
Thanks anyway

I hope it's not the kernel. I'm going to repack the stock kernel and dtb the exact same way and see if that boots.
I have a suspicion there's some special way Samsung are appending the dtb.
I'm also going to contact @osm0sis as he's a whizz at this stuff
Are you ok with the testing?

No worries, my friend. I'll test whatever you ask me to.
The device is wiped and unusable now anyway without reinstallation, so I have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

Question What's the best way to install latest chinese beta?

Greetings!
I'm currently using the latest Stable rom for global (12.5.1), I'm rooted and I have TWRP, everything is working fine.
Don't ask me why lol, but I want to install the latest chinese beta (miui_ALIOTH_21.6.2_6d346564dd_11.0, https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/alioth/weekly/21.6.2/), I copy the file to internal storage, boot into twrp, flash it, clean cache and reboot.
After those steps, the phone reboots and it enters in a semi-bootloop on the poco logo. The phone restarts a few times (like 5-6) and after that, it boots succesfully.
When it boots, it boots into the stable rom (12.5.1) and not the recently flashed chinese beta (21.6.2), does anyone knows why this happen? D=
Also as extra info, my device is global, so, there's no issue if I try to install a chinese beta, right?
Have an awesome day! =D

i'm probably not of much use here, but as no-one else has replied i'll tell you...!
i had the same issue but it was a while ago now, so i can't actually recall how i rectified it (sorry). but i think i either flashed the rom, then before booting to system, factory reset in twrp by typing 'yes'. then boot to system...
or, i flashed both slots, a and b with the rom zip. in twrp go to reboot, then you can see which slot is active. flash rom, then reboot to other slot in twrp. after changing to alternative slot i think i then, as i always do when changing slots in twrp, rebooted twrp itself to be sure alt slot is deffo active. then flash rom to alt slot. then, after both slots are flashed, factory reset typing 'yes' then boot to system...
like i say, sorry if that's a bit vague, i really can't recall the remedy. good luck

Let me try that!
Also, and just to clarify, I want to flash the latest chinese beta because I want to use Arrow OS without any issues.
As I said, I'm currently running the latest stable MIUI, and If I flash Arrow OS on top of it, I face a looooooot of random crashes/reboots, to the point that I can't do anything on it.
Nothing fails when I use the stable beta, so I don't really know why this is happening. D=

Also, and just to clarify, I want to flash the latest chinese beta because I want to use Arrow OS without any issues.
As I said, I'm currently running the latest stable MIUI, and If I flash Arrow OS on top of it, I face a looooooot of random crashes/reboots, to the point that I can't do anything on it.
Nothing fails when I use the stable beta, so I don't really know why this is happening. D=

i'm in that exact boat, running arrowOS with 21.6.2 XiaomiEU flashed before hand. i had my first and only rr today, not sure what caused it. no biggy though, i can live with one... but i have had a few audio issues. it's a bit weird, but audio over bluetooth cuts out every few seconds... until, and this is the odd part, i launch whatsapp and make a video call (found out by chance). after that bluetooth audio works fine. needs repeating after each reboot.
i didn't complain/report the rr or audio issue as i'm not using an early build of miui as a base ie 12.03 etc.

I'm gonna try flashing the latest firmware, as someone sugested on the Arrow OS thread, maybe (and hopefully) that'll fix bluetooth and proximity sensor issues.

I'm interested in hearing your experiences.
I am still wondering if flashing a Chinese firmware on arrowos is really a good idea, even tho some ppl reported that it works fine.

I flashed the pack for the lates fw, and I got some random reboots the first 2-3 times it booted, but after that it seems to be steady.
I can confirm that the proximity sensor issue is aaaaaaalmost gone, it stills fails but way less that before. The blutooth issues I still haven't tested em yet (I need to get into my car to do that).
So, yeah, it's safe to flash the latets fw: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/alioth/weekly/21.6.2/

Hello,
I am planning on getting the Chinese Rom as well, however, I am still waiting for my bootloader to unlock, about 72 hours left.
So what I got from the comments up there is you can flash the Chinese rom even if you are on Poco F3 and it is for Redmi k40 but you have to install the latest firmware first and that's it? Do you need to do something else first?
Not to mention the TWRP of course!
Apologies since I am kind of new to this thing
Thanks

You don't have to install the latest fw in order to get a working chinese rom install, but the latest fw always contains tweaks and stuff for many internal components (i.e. wifi, bluetooth, proximity sensors, etc), so yeah, that's recommended.
And yeah, you need to flash TWRP first, buuuuuut as reg66 said, you need to flash it on both of your phone slots (A and B), that way everything will work without issues. =)

hmm... just realised the weekly China (xiaomi EU) that i downloaded is different. didn't check your link in OP...
mine is xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_21.6.2_v12-11.zip from here
i usually check here xiaomi.eu for updates. if i were only flashing stock roms, i would only use the exact rom for my model/device ie poco f3 from here. other than that, for latest roms i would stick with xiaomi.eu roms...
anyway, i'll shut up now lol, i am a bit worse for wear and just waffling!!!

as a guess it's where you download the latest zip and rename it to 'update.zip' then put it in folder called 'downloaded_rom' and then update from settings or perhaps wait for prompt if set to auto update. can't say for sure though, haven't tried this method.
actually, just read, you can also rename the rom to update.zip and put in root of storage, then update via stock recovery... but again, i've not tried this method
EDIT: so there's no need to rename the zip. under settings, click on about phone/miui version and click the version multiple times until you get a message saying 'extra update features available' or something like that. click on the three dot menu on top right corner and click choose update package. navigate to your downloaded incremental update which from 12.0.3 global to 12.5.1 can be found here

This is how I updated from 12.0.3 to 12.5.1, but only works from global to global (or same region to same region), if you try global to chinese, it doesn't work. =(

If CN ROM has a fastboot version u can use MiFlash tool (for safeness). Or TWRP for recovery ROM.

can you please guide how to flash latest chinese beta 21.7.13 here through TWRP and which TWRP is recommended and how to flash it on both of phone slots (A and B)?

Just intall Xiaomi.eu weekly ?
Why bother with an ad- and "analytics" infested unmodified china rom ?

The "Semi-bootloop" happened, because the bootloader detected that after a few trials Slot A is simply not bootable, so it switched to Slot B.

Can someone who's tested this post a couple of screenshots of any special settings this might have over stock? I mostly want to compare those against DerpFest that was released a couple of days ago and to avoid flashing again since we don't have a way to backup and restore a rom at this point. Unless - could Slot B be used to dual boot two different roms?

Currently, you cannot dual boot multiple roms. I remember with OP6T, there was a guy/gal that provided us with a recovery that allowed dual boot for two different roms. It was a wip, but functioned pretty well. Can't recall the Dev's name.
Concerning screenshots of custom settings, I'm sure it's similar to other Pixel Experience roms for other devices. I can't provide any, because I'm not using this particular custom rom at the moment.

@alvin14 Please check your PM inbox. Thank you.
-Regards: Badger50

@alvin14, to sideload you'll need to provide both the boot.img and vendor_boot.img, otherwise we can't use adb sideload since stock recovery will reject it and it's looking pretty unlikely we'll get twrp anytime soon. For those of us who are technically minded, grabbing the 2 .img files I mentioned isn't too hard, but I'm guessing there's some who likely can't.
Also, you might want to provide your kernel source as per XDA rules like the mod has likely PMed you about. This thread will likely get removed/locked and your links taken down if you don't.

Sorry, have not done this since the S4. Kernel source added, forked from PE-Raven. Other files added as well. Not much options added to pixel experience, I personally prefer stock android which i did some development on about 8 years ago. Just light modifications added, very stable.

For the vendor_boot.img to even boot recovery, you need the boot.img from your build as well. Stock boot.img won't work in almost all cases of custom roms.
Appreciate the work, and newer devices are kind of a pain to know what to do. So I feel ya there.

Boot not needed. After flashing vendor_boot via fastboot you can select boot bootloader and it goes straight in. Magisk Boot is also provided should anyone still need the boot image.

Isn't most things backed up online lately? Before every custom ROM flash, backup your data to Google & restore after flash. Don't really use much apps however I would believe they all offer online backup via Google. Signing back into everything should be a breeze since your passwords are also backed up wether to Google or whichever backup app used for that with auto sign in activated.

Yeah but there's still things that are either not backed up or not restored. For example call logs and device settings are backed up but they've never successfully restored on any of my devices. Then there are things like the pixel launcher home screen layout, signing in to apps, setting my ringtone etc., setting up a multilingual keyboard and so on. The ideal scenario for me is to be able to switch roms without wiping data, but I need to have a backup fallback or else it's going to take me hours of tweaking and setting management to be comfy(not to mention any ROM-specific settings that have crazy amounts of time-consuming customizations)

I had to comment here because this is both true and not true. The backups seem to work, however, they usually don't restore ALL of said data when you restore from a backup onto a wiped phone. Oddly enough, when I wiped my phone yesterday and updated to the final Android 13 beta build (A13B4.1), I was able to restore my data and it kept all of my settings intact... So, not only did I get all of my apps back (and put onto the home screen in the correct locations), but I also got my home screen wallpaper set again; I got my QS tile's arranged how I had previously customized them and I got my other settings restored to how they were...
I'm not entirely sure why this occured, however, with a few past beta updates I had lost all of the settings that I had mentioned... I would usually only get my apps restored (without them being placed on the home screen at all)...
One thing to note is that I happened to do this update differently than a bunch of my previous updates. I did this update manually over adb instead of using the Android Flash Tool site. Of course, take this with a grain of salt as I'm not entirely sure if this is what made my backup restore yesterday so perfect. But my only thought is that by doing the update manually, you won't be missing out on any of the fastboot commands that may be dismissed via the Android Flash Tool

I recommend Swift Backup. I've been using it for quite awhile and it backs up everything!! Call logs, messages, apps and their data. You can backup to the device and transfer to pc for safe keeping or you can even have the option to backup and restore from the cloud. You can also do what I do and get a OTG cable and backup and restore right from that which is much faster.

Bluetooth problem after flashing TWRP

Hi,
I flashed TWRP on my unlocked Redmi Note 8T with MIUI Global 12.5.5. Everything was great until I rebooted it and saw Bluetooth error which pops every time I try to turn Bluetooth on or just randomly during usage of the device. I also tried to re-flas TWRP with Orange fox but it unfortunatelly did not help. Now I have no idea what to do but there are also some other people with this problem (for example:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/y9zsak
).
Does anybody know any solution? Thanks!
Btw Orange fox is for ginko devices, I did not find version for willow

I had the exact same problem when I tried to root my stock rom in ginkgo. I was getting a lot of "app keeps stopping" pop ups, and that also included bt. My bt was completely broken until I changed rom. Also I'm guessing this had happened when I had rooted my phone with magisk, not by flashing recovery itself. Perhaps you could try to uninstall magsik, and see it it resolves the issue for you. If that would be the case, then you would have found your problem, and maybe you can flash a custom rom to safely root your phone.

Thanks for reply, but i did not have magisk flashed on my phone. I only had installed the app, prepared apk file and did nothing in TWRP (Orange fox) , just flashed a recovery with my PC, checked that it is working and rebooted device. Anyway I tried to do it only because of acces to NFC and Gpay which is now blocked.
As you also said, I would like to try custom rom (like LineageOS) because it seems like bad idea to have a stock room on an unlocked phone. Only the problem is how to backup data like data from apps, games etc.
So now it tried one of my ideas, which was to install Magisk (root) and uninstall it but it also did not help (I expected that)

To backup data simply copy your personal files in pc or sdcard. And to backup data in apps, take back-up of only those apps and where you need to backup. Don't take a complete backup using some app. That consumes a lot of space and make the newly rom feel "not so new". Most apps don't require you to take back-up offline these days. I usually backup only my personal files before flashing rom.

Yeah, that's true. But don't you know how to backup data from these "offline" apps? I was trying to solve this also before unpocking bootloader like a year ago but unsuccessfuly.
Also, which rom should I choose? I'm deciding between LineageOS and Pixel experience.
So I have LOS installed but I can´t install other zip files (like Google apps). Im only getting error: signature verification failed while. Im using LOS recovery so where is the problem?
Solved it!

Hey @vasik006 ! I know this is very late and you might have found the solution yourself, but I found the solution to this problem. Since yesterday I was trying to root my ginkgo with twrp, using magisk delta and had exact same issue. Joyose and bluetooth keeps stopping, and don't work. Simply factory reset ( I also formatted data) in twrp, and in next boot bluetooth should work. Then you can simply install the magisk apk and let it do its thing. No need to flash again since it has already made changes to boot file that can't be overriden by resetting phone.

Thanks, this might help someone else with this problem. I have already formatted my phone, installed Lineage OS and everything is ok

For me, the problem with BT and Joyose occurs only with TWRP v3.7.x. I went back to TWRP v3.6.1_9-0 but now backups are not working.

TWRP is invaluable for backing up the system before making changes like theming etc. and I can take a TWRP backup to any of my (all the same) devices and restore the whole thing in just a few minutes. So convenient! I really couldn't imagine life without TWRP. TWRP enables me to clone my device in case of hardware failure. All my settings and all my apps and all my custom configurations which would otherwise take hours/days to setup - BAM! Presto! on the new device and running perfectly.
TWRP + NeoBackup are essential. TWRP as described, and NeoBackup to roll back breaking updates to apps when devs butcher them, break them, and/or just remove really useful features. I also disconnect apps that get ruined by an update from the Play Store so they don't keep coming up when I check for updates.

I would advise you to read the posts again. They were asking about how to take backup of "personal apps" which twrp can't do, and if they are changing ROM then twrp backup won't be of any use to them. Therefore, whatever you're trying to tell here doesn't really help the discussion.

TWRP does backup personal apps and their settings. Once you restore a TWRP backup, you have everything back except media files - images, videos, documents, etc. The launcher icons, the apps, the system settings - everything is a perfect clone which you can restore on a new device (same model, of course).
I actually came across this thread searching to see if others had a problem where merely flashing TWRP caused Bluetooth to crash (and Atmos).

Use OrangeFox

is there anyone use BT-fix-for-PE-20190618.zip to fix this problem ?

I'm on an ROG Phone II with the same issue.
The "fix" is to wipe in TWRP and install Magisk BEFORE you leave for your first boot and NEVER come back to TWRP as the issue will return the second recovery is booted.

From what I can tell, this is correct. 3.6_XX-X allows me to come and go from TWRP as much as I please without incurring the bug, however, I haven't tested backup though I can't see a reason why they wouldn't work.
Are these existing backups that aren't working or the whole backup function in general?

It seems to be a twrp issue. What version do you have? And what version of magisk do you have?
I have recently flashed miui 12 (android 10) after bricking the phone using qtel. I noticed the Bluetooth problem last week and didn't find a fix. I have twrp 3.6.2 and magisk 25.1. I had twrp 3.7.1 but if failed to decrypt data using pattern so I rolled back to 3.6.2. And I thought that magisk had to do with the Bluetooth problem so I rolled back to 25.1 from 26.
I still can't use the Bluetooth, and I don't have time to reset the phone, I just finished restoring everything

I CAN CONFIRM
go back to the previous twrp 3.6.2 version + wipe factory reset or simply format data solve sucesfuly solve installation issue of Magisk 26.1 or Magisk Delta 25210

I can't afford resetting my phone right now , don't have enough time. I'll let it like that for some months.
Edit : I have miui 12.0.6 installed (android 10) and I'm not planning to upgrade since I have much better battery life (even better than every mod I tried). I wander if I flash miui rom from recovery can fix it?
Edit 2: flashing the rom from recovery didn't fix it
