Installing Viper4Android

[chiiiiiiippppppp]

After days of trying numerous different ways I've finally managed to get Viper to work my Oneplus 7T Pro

You will need to have a modded recovery with adb enabled:-

First I removed the any previous Viper module in Magisk and rebooted.

I then uninstalled the Viper App and rebooted again.

So I then had a clean starting point.

I installed The SELinux Switch app from XDA to set SELinux mode to Permissive:-

https://forum.xda-developers.com/and...witch-t3656502

I turned off Google Play Protect.

I then installed the version 2.7.1.0 module in Magisk.

Installed driver and it rebooted.

Stuck at Fastboot screen.

Reboot to Recovery

I then did the following in adb to delete the post-fs-data.sh file which is the file that stops the phone booting.

1) adb shell
2)cd to /data/adb/modules/ViPER4AndroidFX
3)rm post-fs-data.sh
4)exit

reboot to Fastboot and then Start

Then it just worked.

Hopefully this method will work for others.

Wouldn't it be easier to just make a viper zip without postfs data?

I don't know how to do that.

That would be a question for the people who write Viper.

We don't have the source of the module, and you can't just take the installed module folder and zip it to a module so I don't think it's possible.

Might be wrong though.

Here try this zip I modified, it should work fine on the OP7T and OP7T Pro if this fix does indeed work. Shouldn't need any custom recovery or adb. Can someone report if my modified file works? If it doesn't just use the custom recovery with adb to remove the module.

Note: Selinux will need to be changed to permissive before installing the module using this:

You will have to make this steps to make it work.These steps are from the original thread and for my situation the module It didnt worked properly.

I have flashed your zip with magisk manager,I havent rebooted,I have installed the drivers from Viper and then I rebooted. I got stucked in fastboot. I had to make rm post-fs-data.sh to force the phone get fixed from the loop.Then I have opened Viper and then asked me again to install the drivers.Then I got stucked again and I had to put the same command through adb shell rm post-fs-data.sh. After that It did worked but I dont know why its not working with your module.

Did you make selinux permissive?

Yes i turned the selinux permissive from the beginning. I haven't mentioned that because I forgot it by mistake

I had the same. I had to install and delete the .sh twice until it worked. And it works fine.

At this point just flash the zip from the original post, don't use my zip. I'll test it out more once my phone arrives.

 

[atomicraiden]

Do you need to keep selinux permissive to continue to use Viper due to deletion of the .sh? Or can one toggle it back post this process?

Wow, this Viper4android seems to be a pain for our phones. I already tried it approximately 5 times and having to use the MSM tool to be able to boot up again from scratch I'm coming from a different flagship and I never had a problem rooting and installing apps like Viper4android before. I don't know if it would be too much to ask. that once someone has found a proven successful method to please share. I don't want to seem lazy I've been searching all over and so far the methods are not definite and very frustrating. Ive had my phone for a week still adjusting. Anyway any help would be appreciated and please no offensive comments. Thanks

Which version do you have? EU or international?

This recovery works fine in EU version, if there's is anything that messes up it's likely a module, which can easily be removed with the modded recovery.

When I try to cd to /data/adb/modules/ViPER4AndroidFX I get cd: bad substitution

I'm on OOS 10.0.4 (international ver.) with modified recovery for ADB.
