[GUIDE][Oreo 8.0] Stock Kernel + ROOT + TWRP + DRM Fix | 41.3.A.2.149

[Stoffl_]

You can patch it yourself.
Read the thread.

*edit*
Magisk Update v17 via magisk manager got me into a bootloop - not sure what happened there.
Had to reflash patched stock boot image, updated twrp to twrp-3.2.3-0-dora.img while I'm at it. Then usual routine of flashing DRM-fix_System_Mode.zip, SafetyNet Cleaning Tools.zip and Magisk-v17.1.zip.

All works, magisk now up2date and working again.

*Edit*
To fix the only 32Gb internal memory isue on F8132 go into twrp wipe \ advanced \ and resize /data.

Hi all,
I was able to go through the installation and it went well, it seems. The system is running smoothly and without major problems. The only problem I can see is that the DRM keys appear not to be recovered, as I don't get the KEYS [OK] status, even when I flashed the DRMfix during the installation process.
1) Is there something I can do to fix this?
2) Should I try to do it? What would I be missing if not?
Thanks!

Good News ! For advanced users If you have TA.img backup of your device I highly suggest using this tool to patch stock kernel using your own TA image to have drm working with latest Magisk 16.3. Follow TA_POC METHOD instructions below .

- RIC disabled
- added DRM patch support

Instructions
Before proceed backup all you important data like pictures, files to another device.. !
Make sure you follow all steps carefully with caution .. !

TWRP asking for decryption code / Internal Storage showing 32GB only for DUAL Model

Turn off the phone (from TWRP if you can or hold vol up and power button till the phone vibrates 3 times)
Enter Fastboot and format user data partitions using this code

fastboot format userdata

If you are getting error try from TWRP recovery > WIPE > Swipe to format data
Now start your phone and set it up the issue should be resolved.
If still storage is not showing do clean installation in Flashtool wiping everything and exclude nothing then follow then instructions above .. I also noticed that flashing the correct XZ DUAL boot.img the first time before first boot fix this

some guys got bootloop when they had tried to root that japanese phone in my country, so i think there is no solution for me. By the way, thank you very much for spending time for me, you're awesome man!!!!

 

[R_captivate]

For me is working all fine except that the storage shows 32GB instead of 64GB. I tried the fastboot option and it didn't recognize it. Also the safetynet check in Magisk is giving me the ctsprofile:false F8132. Any advice?

Hello,

it seems that in the section "Requirements" the link prefaced with

- Kernel (boot.img) + Magisk + DRM fix patch

is poorly formatted (seems like the beginning of the link part has a redundant "http://" tag right before the link).

For all those who try to get to those files - turn on the Inspector in your browser, find the element of the link and copy the valid Google Drive link.

With kind regards,
hn40cn
