I realized the Magisk popup was because the patched.img was built with 25201 so I recreated it with the release version v25.2 (25200). Now I'll leave it alone for awhile.

    neutronscott Do you need to install magisk with adb? Once your boot.img changed the props to allow for installation Im pretty sure the stub is installed already automatically and can be accessed using the settings>phonesettings>keyshortcuts
    Also do you need to enable OEM unlocking before unlocking bootloader?

          Im working on a zip with very basic instructions and all that is needed for app installation on this phone (ADB, MTKmeta, [Login to see the link] boot.img).

            KCO mouse has the selecting glitch. Button mapper is not able to use the star and message and sos buttons.

            darth Do you need to install magisk with adb?

            Oh I didn't know. I just quickly tested after a factory reset and it did show up after a reboot, then after I setup wifi it installed after enabling magisk to install apps. So that way works fine too I just didn't have WiFi setup yet and didn't try rebooting. Perhaps the rc could be modified so that reboot isn't necessary.. I'll check it out tomorrow.

            darth Also do you need to enable OEM unlocking before unlocking bootloader?

            No. I never entered that menu on this phone.

                  neutronscott very impressive work you did, You've managed to circumvent the restrictions of this device, meaning you can install apks on this device.

                            Is there any way to permanently uninstall the browser? (Even though I have root its still read-only...)

                                neutronscott Yes I didnt need to install the magisk app at all it installed by itself once it connected to wifi and was allowed to install apps

                                  darth Is there any way to permanently uninstall the browser? (Even though I have root its still read-only...)

                                  I was starting to look at this. I pulled the super partition but haven't had luck extracting the contents yet. Think other options are using the recovery kernel or build one to make the mmc block devices writable.

                                  I've messed with embedded Linux device before that passed it all in the kernel cmdline but this is new. I have to see what creates the partitions and declares them read-only. I believe it's in the dtb nowadays.

                                  I would like a custom recovery still if it's do-able but still that's more research for me about all the different Android options I've ran across just reading Magisk docs.

                                    lgexalter1 typically you can remount as rw but these block devices are marked read-only. I tried changing it using the /sys/block interface but no luck there.

                                      lgexalter1 OK I must have mixed it up with boot. I could not get Magisk direct install to work on the phone and assumed system was the same. I'll have to check it out. Just mount -o rw,remount / ??

                                        I Cant confirm but i think you can install apps using method of sending apk with bluetooth and installing with notifications

                                          lgexalter1 yeah one of the big frustrations introduced with system-as-root / AB devices
