Essential has been on LOS 21 +Magisk 27 with modules, but failed Play Integrity check. As a result, Google Wallet and other functionalities do not work. I reverted to the last Essential stock ROM. Is it risky to relock the bootloader after flashing the stock ROM, considering the risk of bricking the device if a flash goes wrong and locks it out forever?
Hello munch I got to the "fastboot flash unlock" and it worked but when I tried the "fastboot flash unlock_critical" I got "FAILED remote device already unlocked!" I'm on build number ppr1.180610.091 can it be because of that? Or do I have to check the USB debbuging mode after the first reset? Thanks
I did them in one go, and it worked fine for me. I was on August Pi build when I dit it. try fastboot oem device-info. if you get something like what's posted here then critical is already unlocked. forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77550242&postcount=6
This happened for me as well. If it does, simply reboot the phone, and you'll be instructed to perform a data wipe, after which the process will continue as munch described.
Munch, Thanks from America. Going to your rooting vid next. PS. I'm an experienced rooter/custom rom user (on my Zuk Z2 Plus) but the A/B thing is new to me and since we seam to have a real TWRP now I'm jumping in (just root now, worried roms might not work with 360 camera)
