12" Chinese Review Mirror Bootloader Unlock/Firmware Update/Theme

12" Chinese Review Mirror Bootloader Unlock/Firmware Update/Theme - Connected Car

Using Ubuntu inside VirtualBox:
Ensure your VirtualBox is setup to see all USB devices, has internet, folder share, and drag & drop enabled.
1. Go to files and create a folder under /home/username/ called “Media”
2. Give permissions to the folder and all subsequent files by right clicking, going to properties, and setting them to allow “create and delete files”.
3. Give permissions for local network share by sharing folder, allowing others to create and delete files in the folder, and allowing guest access.
4. Inside the “Media” folder you will place a modified fastboot zip folder and extract it’s contents into this location. The zip file can be downloaded from here: Modified_fastboot
Now that you have your Computer setup, let’s get started.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prepare Android Mirror: (Plugged into CPU via USB)
1. Power on Android mirror.
2. Go to "Settings".
3. Scroll down and select "System".
4. Scroll down and select "About phone".
5. Scroll all the way down and click on build number until developer mode is unlocked.
6. Click on "Baseband version" 4 times to access EngineerMode.
7. Select "DEBUG&LOG".
A. Enable Never Screen Off.
B. Disable Watch Dog.
C. Enable USB Debug.
D. Allow USB debugging “Always on this computer”, and select “ok”.
8. Click the back arrow far left bottom 2 times until back in System settings.
9. Now you should see “Developer options”. Select it and turn it on.
A. Enable Stay awake.
B. Enable OEM unlocking.
C. Verify USB debugging is enabled.
D. Enable Adb Root Privileges. Pin = 2846
10. Device is now ready.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using Windows with Ubuntu installed within Virtualbox:
To get into fastboot:
1. Ensure you have the latest platform tools for windows. This can be downloaded from here:
Win Platform Tools
2. Extract contents to a folder.
3. Open extracted folder, right click in folder, where you see adb.exe, and select “Open in Windows Terminal”.
**** These next steps I found are to be done in a specific order and time so pay close attention ****
4. Type “./adb devices”. Press enter after the beep sound and the 4G loading screen disappears.
./adb devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If done correctly you will see the following:
List of devices attached
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX device
5. Type “./adb reboot bootloader”.
./adb reboot bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. Press enter. - Must be done before the screen goes black and you hear the next beep. If done correctly you will see on the far left:
fastboot mode
7. You are now in fastboot mode. Try not to take too much time with unlocking the bootloader as this may timeout and take multiple tries.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Within Ubuntu:
Unlocking bootloader within Fastboot:
1. Open the modified_fastboot folder, right-click then select Open in Terminal.
2. Setup permissions for user by entering the following one at a time followed by enter.
sudo -i
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
sudo usermod -aG plugdev root
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
cd /home/po/Media/modified_fastboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. Test device detection using:
./fastboot devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. Get identifier Token using:
./fastboot oem get_identifier_token
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. You should get an output like:
Identifier token:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
OKAY [0.019s]
finished. Total time: 0.019s
6. Copy the Identifier token.
7. Run this command ; replace XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX with your Identifier token. Should look like this:
./signidentifier_unlockbootloader.sh XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX rsa4096_vbmeta.pem signature.bin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. You should have an output like:
Identifier sign script, ver 0.10
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
50 bytes copied, 0.000257562 s, 194kB/s
Identifier sign successfully
9. You should also see a signature.bin file in the modified_fastboot folder.
10. Finally run this command:
./fastboot flashing unlock_bootloader signature.bin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
11. When it asks to confirm bootloader unlock (volume up/volume down options):
Locate the A/V port on the top of the device, looks like a 3.5mm plug, and use a small ½” long device/toothpick/paperclip to push the button on the inside of the port at the bottom.

14. Wait 2 minutes and hold the power down to restart the device. The device will restart a few times and will now indicate the bootloader unlocked on the left side of mirror.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update to latest firmware:
1. Go to and read through the Original Post, Original Post in Russian, and ensure your device is the same device or very similar in design. If not you should not update with the mentioned firmware.
2. Download firmware update:
QC_BITE_M5_188_Media_Sleep_2021010619_202101061959_64bit.pac
The tools that will be needed and instructions:
1.Go to this website, https://spdflashtool.com/
2. Download latest version of Research Tool here: Research-tool
3. Follow instructions on how to use the Research Tool here: Instructions
A. Here is the link for the SPD driver you will need: Drivers
B. Stop at step 8 do not connect your mirror to the computer. Make sure your mirror is turned off and follow this video to complete the installation process:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you would rather complete with written tutorial vice watching video, here are the remaining steps.
1. Turn off the mirror if not done already.
2. Ensure firmware loaded into the Research tool and press the Play/start button.
3. With something small like a toothpick/paperclip, press the button inside the AV port at the top of the mirror. Make sure you find the button before proceeding.
4. Once you have found the button, press it and hold it.

6. The firmware will start to download. You can now release the button.
7. Now you wait until complete and reboot(s) complete.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional/Optional:
Not promoting anything, but kinda am. I get nothing in return for advising to use of any tools. This one here has helped me more than i can explain and was created by an OG of XDA, Koushik Dutta, aka. Koush. He is most famous for his work with Clockwork-mod. Show him some support if you like his work.
Tool to control pretty much any android device from your computer: Vysor
https://www.vysor.io
Here is a video showing you how to use the program. It is done with a Firestick, but once I was setup it just found the mirror itself once I plugged it in as well as my cell phone:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that your bootloader is unlocked and your system is up to date, you may want to customize things a bit as most on XDA do. This is super new to me, like only 2 days working on this mirror.... I did however find a legit app, through playstore, to customize your home screen to not look like so tacky/boring. The app is called Car Launcher. There is a free version and a paid one. Paid version unlocks so much customization. I recommend installing the free version and testing it out. If all works, then the paid version is the way to go. I know the paid works very well with the above firmware. I have tested it quite extensively and so far found only one hick-up. Here are the links.
Recommended Home replacement: Free
Car Launcher Free
PRO Version is much better: cost $4.99
Car Launcher Pro
Whatever you do, don’t use program brightness settings in the themes or Car Launcher. Use the device’s settings.

Hello @po8pimp. Thank you very much for this tutorial, it is very useful. Hopefully someone can make a custom rom for these mirror.
I have a similar mirror, i think from HGDO brand, 4GB RAM 32Gb ROM with the firmware QC_1126bit_M5_1126_media_sleep_2020112517
Can I use your method and install that firmware?
In other hand I cant logout a google account from the mirror. Do you know how to delete and account from it?
Thank you

I will have to check on the firmware ability. As far as the google account logout, you will more than likely have to factory reset the device.

This is the forum you would want to find your firmware for your device in. I recommend if you don't know Russian to get a browser with add on support to translate the pages for you. I use Firefox and Translate web pages extension which works really well.

hi i have this mirror following the guide, "./adb device" command list the device, but i can't get it to go into fastboot mode with "./adb reboot bootloader" command ...is there another method using combination of buttons?

Did you make sure the directory had no Spaces and also move the ADB drivers to the same directory?
There are also users reporting that renaming the file 'marshmallow.zip.zip' fixes the issue.

Try to update the url with in the original thread to reflect OJ1 and PB2 build numbers (can't look up the full build numbers right now). If that works use this same guide to apply the update.

[GUIDE][BR][LP]Complete guide for unlock bootloader and flash TWRP in H442F DUAL SIM

Hello folks!
It's been a while since last time I spent in this forum section (when the method for flashing Poland MM KDZ was published), but suddenly I decided to check the current development and it was great do discover that developers found a way to unlock bootloader! Then, I tried to do the procedures, found some adversities around the path, flashed stock KDZ for my device A LOT and finally managed to obtain a fully working LP stock with root and TWRP for my model: H442F (Dual SIM) ("LG Volt 4G" in Brazil).
The thing is: although a lot was done regarding the Spirit LTE, I found near zero information specifically for my device variant. Since I tried a lot of paths and eventually achieved an interesting result, I decided to write a full tutorial, with a lot of instructions and pictures for "novices" who desire learn all the steps but gives up at the high learning curve. Finally, I also wrote this tutorial in Brazilian Portuguese, which I believe will help at least some comrades (you can download the PDF in portuguese HERE).
Needed files:
LG Drivers (remove old ones if already instaled)
LG Flash Tool 2014 (credits to @quangnhut123 from this thread)
Brazilian H442F10a Firmware (this is a low speed server, I can upload to a better one if someone asks)
Android SDK Tools (for Windows users; Linux ones just install the package android-tools-adb)
Kingroot (or download here: www.kingroot.net)
Latin America Patched Aboot (credits to @pvineeth97 , for more info check this thread)
TWRP (or download here: https://twrp.me/lg/lgspiritlte.html)
Flashfy (or download here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify&hl=en)
SuperSU (or download here: http://www.supersu.com/)
Finally, if you prefer, you can download a full pack in this link (except for KDZ), however, I did prefer to keep isolated links for better credits and referrals
Step-by-step
Download all needed files
Install drivers, SDK and unpack Flash Tool
Save all files in the same folder, but keep KDZ file inside Flash Tool folder
Put your phone in download mode (power off, hold vol+, plug usb in pc, keep holding until download icon appears)
Wait a little for Windows completely detects device and load all drivers
Verify in Device Manager if your pc detects phone as "LG Mobile USB Serial Port (COM#)"

}
Open LG Flash Tool as admin
Select KDZ file
Choose the downloaded H442F10a_03.kdz file
Choose CSE Flash
Click START
Then, "Clear phone software update registry"
You'll see a warning
Then, OK (no need to change country)
Another app will open for the flashing. If you are offline, it is possible to show just a "?" character. Wait patiently...
In about 5min it will finish
After some reboots, you'll see the phone starter screen. Just move forward (no need to configure anything right now, maybe wifi, but not google account)
Enable Developer Options going to Settings/General/Common/Software Information and tap some simes in Build Number until the "You are a developer" message appears
Go back to Settings/Developer Options and turn on USB Debugging
With Debugging on, choose MTP (for Windows) or PTP (Linux), and when asked, allow the computer
Now, make sure you installed (and know how to use, since I will cover just a few commands here) the Android Debugging Bridge (adb). It will be essential for some steps, as well for entering Recovery Mode (I will show some Linux screenshots because I do not use Windows - for this tutorial, just for KDZ flash - but with a working adb the commands are the same)
Open a command prompt (Windows: right click in start menu) or a terminal (Linux) and run "adb devices" to see if the device was detected. If not, run again and check if phone are asking permissions (and grant it)
Go (cd) to the folder with all downloaded files and write the commands (some names may be different if you downloaded individual files from official links)
adb push aboot_5120_patched.bin /sdcard/
adb push twrp-3.2.1.0-cn70n.img /sdcard/
adb push SuperSU-v2.82-201705271722.zip /sdcard/
adb install Flashify_1.9.2.apk
adb install KingrootV5.3.1.apk
At whit point, make sure your internet is fully working (3-4G or WIfi), then, open Kingroot and root the device
After a well successful root, go back to adb and run "adb shell" and then "su". The phone will ask root permission. Grant it and in adb again run "cd /sdcard"
Now we arrived a critical step. Make sure to type the command as is show, because an error may result brick. We will copy the modified aboot into the respective phone partition (check code, check picture, and double check!)
If everything occurs all right, will appear this message
Great! Now you have an unlocked bootloader! What we have to do now is fhash a custom recovery (in this case, TWRP).
Open Flashify, give root rights, then go into Flash/Recovery Image/Choose a file/File explorer/sdcard/[downloaded file]. When asked to flash click "YUP!" and then "Flash More" (as we do not want the phone to reboot right now)
An extra step I prefer to do is remove Kingroot, since it installs a lot of services and keep device substantially slow. If you prefer Kingroot over SuperSU, you are DONE!
Case you prefer SuperSU... Open Kingroot/.../Settings/Uninstall Kingroot
It will prompt if you are sure. Just click Continue/OK
Go back to prompt/terminal and run "adb reboot recovery"
Phone will enter TWRP!
Now, just a few steps!
Go to Install and flash SuperSU
Go to Wipe and do a Factory Reset
Go to Settings and disable TWRP app installer (optional)
And finally go to Reboot and choose System
DONE!!!
Now you have a phone with an unlocked bootloader, a recovery capable of doing a lot of stuff (sideload, wipe cache, backups), and rooted as well.

A really good job, I'm sure a lot of your fellow countryman will find this very useful!

Thanks for the instructions. After unlocking its bootloader, wil it be compatible with any H440 custom rom (single sim operation, of course)? Or the only custom rom we get is Cm12?

Hi!
Well, unfortunately I don't know. I made the procedure, wrote the tutorial, and 2 months later changed my phone for a new one. Can't test anymore.

Yes, it should be compatible with any custom rom as long as your phone is Lg spirit LTE( snapdragon variant ).

[REVIEW & GUIDE] Custom Firmware on Lumia 950XL V2

Hi,
I found a custom firmware for Lumia 950XL and it might be helpful for the users who still use Lumia 950XL
I will give you my review based on my test and the steps if you want to do the same.
Thanks to:
Fadil Fadz

If the topic already posted let me know I tried to search before posting.
Should you replace your firmware with this?
Yes, yes and yes..
The system is way better than the current firmware.
Pros:
Built-in updated apps like (Paint 3D, myTube, 8 Zip...etc)
Built-in CMD (Real CMD)
You can run (.bat) files
Updated original apps like (Video, Photos, Camera..etc)
I feel it lighter (maybe because I like it)
Unlocked by default
Boot menu contains developer options
File Explorer is updated and more advanced (you can access to the packages directly from it)
Display Scale option (You can control the display scale from the control panel)
Nice organize for Start menu (the way that Fadil organize the menu will give you an idea to build nice structure for the apps)
You can install advanced apps using CMD like (Powershell, XAP installer, DotNet Console..etc)
Nice icons for the default apps
Cons & Tips:
So far I didn't find anything bad
Some icons will appear smaller than before because of the default display scale 100% (for me it's was more than normal), but you can change it form the control panel
InteropTools is Beta (there is Legacy version so I prefer to replace it)
You have to be patience with edgeTile if you want to use it , it's too slow when loading for no reason
CMD with external keyboard is better for some functions and easier to use (use left arrow to remove).

How to install:
AS PER FADIL
DISCLAIMER:
I’m not responsible for any damage that occur on you device.
Do at your own risk.
WARNING ⚠:
Please don’t attempt to flash on other devices.
Please don’t flash without using thor2.
Flashing FFU will erase all your data.
Please ensure that you closed WPinternals before using thor2.
Videos always better and more clear (but read the Quick Guide below if this is your first time)
Features & Custom FFU: Click Here (Youtube)
Installing & Downloads: Click Here (Youtube)
Install Apps using CMD: Click Here (Youtube)
Tools Needed:
WPinternals 2.9 (2nd Video "Installing & Downloads")
WDRT ( Windows Device Recovery Tool) to use thor2 (2nd Video "Installing & Downloads")
Custom FFU (1st Video "Features & Custom FFU")
Quick Guide:
Download the requested tools
Connect your Phone using the USB cable
Phase 1 (Unlock bootloader):
Before start unlocking you have to download
FFU-file
Emergency-files
1- Open "WPinternals"
A- Download FFU + Emergency Files
Goto "Download"
Scroll down then click "Search"
After the results appear Click "Download All"
It will take some time to download
If you already have the files scroll to "Repository"
Click on "Add Existing FFU-file"
Select your file
B- Unlock bootloader
Goto "Unlock bootloader"
Click "OK" to switch to "Flash-mode"
When the phone in "Flash-mode", scroll down and click "Unlock" after reading the descriptions
Multiple reboots expected so you have to wait and don't interrupt the process
Wait until you see this message "You need to manually reset your phone now!"
Restart the phone
Wait until you see this message "Bootloader unlocked successfully"
If the phone already unlocked expected to boot to Mass storage instead of this message
Know Problems
if stuck into Multiple reboots for too long time or you got "Unlock failed", this could happen because of:
You didn't select FFU-file and Emergency-files
The FFU-file is different than the current system (maybe you flashed different one before)
If you bricked the system do the following:
Boot into Flash-Mode by pressing Power + Volume Down once the phone vibrate hold only Volume Down
Then open WDRT for possible restore
If WDRT didn't help check the post below for alternate restore option
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/bricked-950xl.3990253/#post-83830313
C- Switch to Flash-mode
Goto "Manual mode"
Select "Switch to Flash-mode"
Wait until the phone get in the "Flash-mode"
Now close "WPinternals"
Phase 2 (Install the Custom Firmware)
Before flashing if you aware about your files and not sure about the process
Check "Backup Solution" at the end of this post
Open "WDRT" folder
Click on "File" at the top left of the window
Select Open PowerShell
Select Open As Administrator
Now run the following command:
.\thor2 -mode uefiflash -ffufile "D:\Microsoft.MSM8994.P6211_CITYMAN_10.0.15254.547_v2.ffu"
"D:\.." is an example, use your own location
Press Enter
Wait until the process complete
Now to restart run the following command:
.\thor2 -mode rnd -reboot
Note if you are using CMD remove the ".\" from the command at the beginning
After the restart, expected to see the boot menu
Press on the camera button to select
Done.
--------------------------------------------------
Backup Solution
Spoiler: Click to show the steps
Usually I use this solution to backup my phone.
Tool needed:
MiniTool ShadowMaker (Paid) or trial option for 30 days
I prefer MiniTool ShadowMaker for these reasons
Compressed Image
Faster than other softwares
You can backup the whole storage not only one partition
Steps:
Switch to "Mass Storage mode"
Close "WPinternals"
Open "ShadowMaker "
Click "Connect " Under "This Computer"
Select "Backup"
Select "Source"
Select "Disk and Partitions
From the "combo box" Select your device "It should be at the end or the space is ~29GB"
Now select all the partitions one by one (just click on the last one and it will move to the next)
Click "OK"
Select "Destination" and set your backup folder
Click on "Backup Now"
Wait until the backup finish
Now you have a mirror of your phone storage.
Restore
If your phone system is not bricked Switch to "Mass Storage mode"
Close "WPinternals"
Open "ShadowMaker"
Goto "Restore"
Select your "backup copy"
Click "Restore"
Click "Next"
Check if all partitions selected then Click "Next"
Select your "phone storage" (~29GB)
Be careful not to select another drive by mistake
Click "Next"
Then "Start"
Note if your system is bricked.. you need to restore the system using WDRT first then do the Restore steps
After the restore finish
Disconnect your phone
Restart manually
Done, you have restored your old system as it was exactly.

Sorry I'm not sure about this part (because I didn't test it), you can contact the original author (Fadil) directly and ask him about this
but what I'm sure from it that it's prepared with boot menu and can support WOA on SD card but for some technical matters the SD card boot (tool) link dropped and the feature now in progress by WOA team.

How To Guide CPH2451 Rooters Please refrain to g96818 guide to Improve the Init_boot method.

Hey guys, i have tested the new method posted by g96818 and it works perfect.
Since he has more experience than me with OnePlus rooting I'll delete this post soon.
My fear is the future proofing of my method and i understand that his method is better in the case of future updates and less risky.

Finally!. Excited to see the rooting movement beginning let's go. Would have tried but I've got CPH2447.

Hey man, but there is a full OTA for that, you just need to subtract the info you need from it.
Since i dont have that device, i dont want to tell you what to do.

Nice. It'd be fantastic too if we could use this as a ongoing reference for future OTA's. Have someone drop by and post a patched init_boot image everytime a new OTA comes out and keep track of them for the CPH2451

adb and also the fastboot drivers installed? and USB debugging activated?
and only adb works over wifi , fastboot only with usb cable

blasbenoit said:
I am not responsible for any any harm, such as bricking, or bootloops, which may happen to your device. This is what worked for me and other guys in this forum.
Important notes to consider: A big thanks to azsl1326 he got us the Patched Init_boot to make this possible.
-You need to unlock the bootloader of your device. This means you'll lose the data ect ect ect.
-People are losing Netflix access after this process, right now we haven't found a "cure" for this, but is pretty normal if you have root a Oneplus device before, when i found the fix i'll edit this right away.
-I'll write this for experts and newcomers a like just in case so they don't have to start asking for simple questions.
-After the root some people have the issue that they cant use security like passwords, fingerprint...ect ect. (as of now the only fix they have is to reset everything and doing the rooting again for 2+times). If i find the "cure" i'll let you guys know.
Spoiler: Issues connecting your device to the PC?
To some people the USB debugging is not working at all, because the phone turn it off after you try to use it or connect it to the PC.
I personally had this issue so i just workaround it. This is what i did:
1- Connect the OnePlus to the same network as your PC.
2- Turn On Wireless debugging on your OP11 and select Pair device with pairing code:
3- Then use this on your PC after you open CMD of course:
Then put the code you have.
The check with this command to see if it is connected:
Now that it is connected you can enter bootloader and connect it to your PC in that mode normally with:
OK now back to the deal:
1- Download the latest platform tools from here:
-Unzip it and put it in the desktop for easy access.
2-The bootloader
Spoiler: Unlock the Bootloader
Step 1 - Unlocking Bootloader:
1.A - Enable OEM Unlocking:
1. Open Settings Application -> About device -> Version -> Tap on Build Number 7 times
2. Open Settings Application -> Additional Settings -> Developer Options
3. Enable OEM Unlocking
4. Enable USB Debugging
1.B - Entering Bootloader
The bootloader must be unlocked in order to flash the recovery.
Ensure the device is connected to the computer via ADB by entering the following command
Code:
adb devices
The output should be something similar to this:

adb reboot bootloader
1.C - Unlock

Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
WARNING: THIS WILL WIPE ALL DATA ON THE DEVICE
Use the volume keys to select unlocking, and then use the power button to confirm.
Once complete, enter the following command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
You will now have to go through the device setup.
Repeat steps 1.A and 1.B to enter back into the bootloader
3- Flashing the Init_Boot.img
In this case i'll provide the already patched Init_boot.img for A07!!! so you don't have to look for it, is attached to this thread.
Download the img and put it in the same folder as the platform tools for easy access.
Spoiler: Magisk Canary
After you enter the device.
1. Dowload the Magisk Canary version from this link:
2. Install it on you device.
Spoiler: Opening CMD (Command Prompt)
After you got everything in place open the platform folder and type CMD on the location box, then press Enter.
If that doesn't work, just open CMD and type:
CD and write the location of the platform folder to get it to work.
Now to the "flashing"
Enter the bootloader like before to start, now type this:
The above command should automatically flash the init_boot to both the slots. However, if you face any issues while executing that command, then you could also manually specify the slots while flashing. Like this:
And
4-Restart your phone and check the magisk canary app that everything is OK.

Do you by chance have the stock unpatched init_boot.img? When you say that you have to redo the whole root process a couple of times to get screen lock working, uprooting would be flashing a stock init_boot yeah?

unrooting before the update is actually only needed if you do the update via incremental update (e.g. eu and india get full firmware packets) so you don't need to unroot first

Mine is the USA model CPH 2451, I updated my phone to A.07 already by normal means, my bootloader is still locked, so I haven't even begun to mess with it YET. This might cause issues with my lock and fingerprint I'm assuming? Just wanna be sure I'm understanding this correctly. Thanks man for all your help! Much appreciated

I didn't have an issue with my lock screen and stuff. I also didn't do anything to the phone other than unlock bootloader and root. Once I did this my lock screen and fingerprint and stuff wasn't an issue at all. Maybe I got lucky.

The password issue has nothing to do with rooting, it is caused by unlocking the bootloader. Before you do any rooting, first lock and unlock the bootloader 3 times. After the third time, you can set the password (or pin, or pattern/etc) and THEN do the actual rooting.

Do you have boot.img instead i rather have temp root

i accidentally pushed the patched init boot img to phone before updating, now i keep getting failed system update, any way to revert back to original A06 init_boot.img so i can take update and then come back and root

can you point me to the init boot image on A06, i accidentally pushed the patched a07 version to a06 w/o updating to a07

So I did the above and magisk turns into a green android icon and won't start. It did start before I flashed the init boot.... ?? Tried to re-install magisk, same thing. green icon.....
Do I need to sideload magisk? (adb sideload Magisk-v25.2.zip) ???
