So just to clarify,

I can take a rom from the updated ones @darth posted

not a difference if KEFS or KEKA,

And repack the super with my vendor.img from my 4058G,

And flash the super, and then flash the boot.img from neutron that made for KEFH,

And itā€™s supposed to work?

466

I wasnā€™t the one that tried it, and i would assume that better to not use KEKA

And what about KEFS?

468

Then maybe try with the kefs boot.

Think those 2 are the same. Only keka is different.
Also, I would flash the boot before the super.

If I try one boot.img and then flash a ROM

And it doesnā€™t work, can I fix it by flashing another boot.img or whatever?

(You all keep saying that I should try it but Iā€™m scared that Iā€™ll brick it and not be able to get it working again)

471

I donā€™t think the wrong boot will brick.
Not guaranteeing anything though.

It could make sure you have a backup first of the stock boot

Always a good idea.
But I was talking about permanent bricking

Can someone edit the vmouse2 to remove the whole pressing 3 feature because when i press it by accident the mouse stops working until a reboot?
vMouse.zip (29.7 KB)

Hi. I just managed to use the neutronscott guide to install Magisk onto my TCL Flip 2 (model 4058g) but thereā€™s a funny ironyā€¦ I canā€™t access the settings in Magisk.

Like, physically, it wonā€™t scroll up. As if itā€™s not a real button.

Did I mess up somehow or do I need to also install the mouse to actually click on it?

I should note this is my first time EVER rooting a phone so if Iā€™m a bit dense I apologize.

477

U need a mouse, i think neutron Scott has a guide about putting on a mouse

478

Dang. Thought I could delay installing another thing (itā€™s late lol) but I guess Iā€™ll need to get back to it in the morning! Thank you though.

Okay, I thought I figured it out, deleted my comment, and was wrong. Now Iā€™m at a loss.

I tried to copy the file for the vMouse to my phone so I could load it using Magisk, but it says itā€™s a read-only file system. I thought maybe the issue was related to neutronscottā€™s related comment on the guide about disabling the power-on write protection so I tried to disable it and it didnā€™t work. Essentially, I tried giving superuser access but my phone went to sleep before I could click allow in the Magisk popup, and it denied it, and I tried giving SU access within the Magisk app but it doesnā€™t seem to be working? Do I need to uninstall and reinstall Magisk? Iā€™m kinda at a loss here. Feels like I failed a quicktime event

Edit: I realized I could revoke the SU access within Magisk and try again and I did, and I successfully enabled SU. It STILL says itā€™s a read-only file system. Help

Run adb shell su -c /vendor/bin/write_protect 0 that should disable write protect and install the mouse using the adb commands given not magisk itself, you shouldnā€™t need to disable write protect
