Bug reporting
If you want to report bugs, please always indicate device variant, Gapps package, Magisk version and Magisk modules installed.
Prerequisites
Your device must be unlocked and running a custom recovery. Click here if your variant is H870 or US997 and here for H872.
Oreo or Pie bootloader required
H870: if you are running the latest Stock Pie, there's no need to update your bootloader.
US997 and H872: if you are running the latest Stock Oreo, there's no need to update your bootloader.
In case you aren't running those stock versions, you'll need to update your bootloader by flashing the right one for your variant.

Android 11 recovery required
After you unlocked your bootloader and flashed the suggested TWRP version for that specific purpose, you'll need to upgrade your recovery to have A11 support. Old recoveries will not fully work with Android 11.
