david 921 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 1 hour ago, rkjnsn said: I updated my device today. I've never rooted or unlocked the bootloader. The Play Store says "Device is certified" under Play Protect certification, and I can see Netflix (which is already installed) if I search the Play Store. I tried running a SafetyNet checker, but it had reached its API quota. Good extra data points. Is there anyone who is not rooted and who installed the OTA through the normal OTA process (not by downloading the file and installing it from the SD card), and who is not passing SafetyNet now? Now that I think about it, I guess I'm not sure I know who was running what. Let's see if we can fill in the blanks: - Unlocked, rooted, updated via the normal OTA process = failed safetynet - Never unlocked, never rooted, updated via the normal OTA process = passes safetynet - But does everyone pass safetynet who matches this? - Unlocked, relocked, never rooted, updated by installing the OTA zip file = failed safetynet - I'm guessing at some of these variables for you, @EskeRahn, please correct. - Never unlocked, never rooted, updated via the OTA zip = ?? The other thing is that some people had the install reboot part way through the process, automatically. Maybe that somehow didn't allow everything to complete as it should?

Try going into input and rebinding all your controls again. It might register as a new controller due to the driver change. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

david 921 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) At the bottom of the failed result in the SafetyNet Evaluation app, it states: Quote This can be if: This Certified device with unlocked bootloader Genuine but uncertified device, such as when the manufacturer doesn't apply for certification I believe it is listing those as 2 separate options. Difficult to tell with the cryptic grammar. Many of us had unlocked bootloaders before and that didn't cause us to fail SafetyNet. Maybe something changed in google's end of things that makes that no longer acceptable to them? Or... With the second option, some sort of certification code/files wasn't handled right in the preparation of the latest OTA? But that wouldn't account for @rkjnsn passing SafetyNet. I guess the question might be, what allows some makes/models of phones to have unlocked bootloaders and still pass SafetyNet and other phones to not pass SafetyNet? I have 2 Pixel 4 XL phones in my household where I unlocked the bootloader immediately, since doing so wipes the /data partition, so that I would be ready for installing a custom recovery later on without losing /data at that future point in time. They both fail SafetyNet and I had to install Netflix and Disney+ from APKs from sources other than the Play Store. Yet, my Pro1 has had an unlocked bootloader for several week and hasn't had any issues. I just installed Disney+ on the Pro1 last week, from the Play Store, without any issue. It could be, in my case, that it was having Magisk, not just being unlocked, that is now failing. Magisk hide might have worked before whatever security update google included in this OTA.

Every other phone that I have owned informs during boot if bootloader is unlocked. I think that is a security thing in Android. I booted my phone and checked from FastBoot Mode that device state is "locked" and secure boot "no". 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't seen bootloader unlocked notification during boot. That is when I got mine too. It was locked and I unlocked it. I don't get that notification on the Pro1 either. The Pixel 4 XL phones in my household do have that notification during boot. You can compare with @EskeRahn's checks here: https://community.fxtec.com/topic/2849-new-ota-update-stamped-2020-03-04/?do=findComment&comment=46436 I just tried a number of things to see if it would get around the issue on my Pro1 (after disabling the Magisk SafetyPatch module). - Disabled Magisk Hide and re-enabled it. Both without and with a reboot. - Checked all items for Google Play services, Google Play Store, and Google Services Framework for Magisk Hide. Before today, I only had "com.google.android.gms.unstable" marked for Magisk Hide. - Turned off USB Debugging and rebooted. - Cleared cache and data for Google Play Store and Google Play Services, without and with reboot.

So now if we can get @rkjnsn to check their bootloader screen to see if secure boot states yes or no, that might help narrow it down. We might all have secure boot "no" no matter what, but if their's has "yes", then that could be the difference here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tdm 2,322 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 The boot loader is qcom code. The OEM modifies it for the device: display initialization, button access, things like that. I don't know offhand if the unlocked warning is defaulted to on or not, but they certainly could have disabled it in any case. All devices have Secure Boot off and always have. This is not really related to the boot loader lock. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
david 921 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 On a possible related note, can someone else see if their backup to google drive has been affected by this OTA? I could have messed it up with deleting data and cache from some of the google apps and other things I did. I noticed that even though I had "Back up to Google Drive" enabled and an account configured, the "Back up now" button was disabled and it said something about waiting to backup. It *might* have been that it had been too recent since the last backup was done too. Either way, I forced it through some ADB commands and the button came back, but I was just curious if anyone else sees the same issue with the button being grayed out in the backup screen.

FlyingAntero 860 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) EDIT2: It looks like that I mixed decimal and binary, see @david post. I checked from Twitter that manually downloaded OTA update has different size than normal OTA update. The OTA zip file is 73,14 MB but if you downloaded it normally it is 69,8 MB. Also, manually downloaded OTA zip file is named as "update-20200304204235-20200106110451.zip" compared to the "QX1000_EEA_20200304204235_20200304-2044" what is shown in system updates settings. So, is there some differences? https://twitter.com/JH174941/status/1235746109735063554 EDIT: Edited March 6, 2020 by FlyingAntero 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Laska 41 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 20 hours ago, DieBruine said: Wish I could try. Wireless update keeps on crashing when I press settings. Cleared cache and storage, force stop and rboot. Doesn't help. So, I'll wait for the OTA ☹️. Edit: Removed sims, enabled Flight mode and cleared cache and storage on both wireless update processes. Install succeeded. Edit2: This update completely f's MAME4DROID Input works for like 1ms. So totally unusable for M4D. Maybe try another emulator. Speaking about Mame4Droid, I didn't updated the latest OTA but for me there was always problem with inputs in this emulator. Everytime I've mapped keys, next time after reboot keys have different numbers, for example: before reboot: 5:SPACE, after reboot 6:SPACE for the very same button. Do you also have issue of this kind? PS I'm afraid there is no good alternative fo Mame4Droid... 😞 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VaZso 1,997 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I have installed this OTA before it was suspended. Now I have tried a test Youtube video and left / right speakers are in appropriate positions However, in loudspeaker mode, it still uses bottom speaker near microphone which I think should be also changed to top one. So still there is a bug somewhere at audio routing I think. It also uses bottom speaker in handsfree mode of Linphone, so it may be also a setting somewhere which is not related directly to drive left and right speakers in normal audio playback. Maybe @Erik or @Waxberry knows who can solve it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
