[Verbal742]

Ok I am like 85% sure this is msn8917. Does anyone know if this ROM works with this CPU?

Have the same problem with boot loops on MSM8917 device.
Did you find any way to fix it?

Nope and no help on any of the threads I posted in here but Reddit was at least a little more helpful. I was able to downgrade the android 10 beta stock rom back to android 9 stable and then root it and run Magisk with help from there.

It seems this forum is not setup to help people, more to just promote dev work. However, if you also want stock pie rom rooted, let me know and I will help you.

Finally just manage to have Android 10 beta stock rooted. That's the only one that make it to work. If it's OK i will stay with beta untill sell it or break it.
Anyway, hate the thing that there noone, never, XDA or Youtube warned people about the differences of 2 variants.
Still waiting to see if anyone made it to fit a custom rom, any custom rom at MSM8917.

Yeah, I really had no idea of the 2 variants. To be fair at least @raza231198 put MSM8937 in his LOS thread, I wished I saw that one instead of this one before picking this phone as my freebie.

Would love to hear from *anyone* on status of MSM8917 support, but it doesn't look like this is a helpful kind of place. I'll DM you if I find something, please DM me if you do as well?

I also have MSM8917 and want to root my stock rom, what TWRP did you use in this forum?

Think i will turn back to 9 stable and stay there. Spent a lot of time for its price.
If found something on my way i will DM you, you can bet on it.

Used this one from Raza's files at Sourceforge. I think it's unofficial but it did the job.
Swipe at the start to make changes. Flash magisk before you reboot to system to keep TWRP as your recovery. Otherwise will be overwriten by the default recovery.
If you want to install another OFFICIAL rom,
1) Format Data
2) Wipe everything except microSD and OTG (2 last on the wipe list)
3) Install the rom
4) Boot to system
5) Reboot to recovery and install Magisk for root manager.

i own the msm8937 variant of asus max m1. due to lack of testers on 8917 devices, i couldnt get info about if it boots on 8917 variant. in the latest update i added 8917 support in kernel. feel free to try out and ping me.

I got the msm8937 variant of asus max m1 but its x00pd. Does it matter? i mean, do you think i can use all those roms and recovery made for msm8937?
I might try this one

Have you flashed pie firmware?

 

[Verbal742]

Have you flashed pie firmware?

Had pie official installed on the phone.
Why to flash pie firmware when you had already pie rom installed on the phone?

 

[ishu88]

Which version of pixel experience should I install
10 or 10 plus?
Help me

It's totally depends upon you. If you want to have a pure stock experience then go for Pixel Experience and if you want to enjoy some customisaton along with stock then go for plus edition.

Hi - at first great job, I like Pixel Experience Plus probably the most.. But I am facing quite a big issue - my screen is blinking. Every like 5 seconds, display turns off and imediately on again. Sometimes it takes some time to start blinking after wake up for example but then it won't stop. Do you have any Idea what could it be? I did clean flash from Pie and everything else seems to work.. Dispay was blinking soon after flash with or without root. I have 3GB/32GB WW version.
Thanks

In logcat I see things like this - but am not really sure if there is something that can help...

EDIT: Also now I noticed that when I reboot, screen blinking starts after first lockscreen and wake up - If I don't lock/turn off screen it won't start itself.

There is a pixel experience unofficial for lite L1 by me. You can get it here https://sourceforge.net/projects/da...0R-10.0-20200716-0958-UNOFFICIAL.zip/download

Well sorry if you find this platform not very helpful, XDA was kinda misbehaving for me for months so I was not much online here. You can join telegram and contact me at @danascape and I'll invite you to our device group so that you can receive help asap. also can you link me the reddit, I wanna check it out

Had pie official installed on the phone.
Why to flash pie firmware when you had already pie rom installed on the phone?

pie firmware is just recommanded to be flashed and only for having networks else we dont need to install pie firmware installed in our device.
