MinMicroG_releases VS Magisk

STEP 11 - Download [Magisk Manager App](https://magiskmanager.com/) again, [MiXplorer APK](https://mixplorer.com/), [MinMicroG-Standard-XXX.zip](https://github.com/FriendlyNeighborhoodShane/MinMicroG_releases/releases) and [NanoDroid-patcher-XXX.zip](https://downloads.nanolx.org/NanoDroid/Stable/).

For CrDroid, flash the rom, then flash microG Installer Revived. I also tried flashing (on a different clean rom) MiniMicrog. Same results: GPay, contact sync, and RCS not working.

No, you've got to go beyond other people explaining everything to you and learn some things yourself. Articles and video guides are for lazy people. You need to get a patched Google Play Store apk and install that along with microG, flash this if you want an easy way: https://github.com/FriendlyNeighborhoodShane/MinMicroG_releases/releases/download/2022.02.02/MinMicroG-Standard-2.11.1-20220202153527.zip

If you want to use microG, you can use this installer. If you want the modified Google Play Store, pick the Standard version, otherwise flash the NoGoolag version. Android Auto will probably work with OpenGapps and the Standard MinMicroG option on most devices by default, meaning that you might not have to do anything else.

Stable MinMicroG Releases

There are couple. MinMicrog & Microg revived

Did you install from the releases repo or the CI repo? Because I had bootloop on the latest releases release (lol) too, but using the latest from the CI worked better. Apparently, the releases is lacking behind, see https://github.com/FriendlyNeighborhoodShane/MinMicroG/issues/36#issuecomment-1188563391

Magisk (version 26.4): The Magic Mask

Magisk (version 26400): Companion app for Magisk

At this point download locally the Magisk APK onto your computer found here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases. Reboot your Tab Mini C by holding the power button until you see the power come back on and the default power on screen begin loading. Once it has fully booted copy the Magisk APK, `boot_a.bin`, and `boot_b.bin` files via USB. Make certain to have backups of the `boot_a.bin` and `boot_b.bin` files in case something goes wrong (such as you bricking your device) and you need the old firmware. Install the Magisk APK. For the rest of this we will be following a summarized version of the instructions here: "https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html". Once the Magisk app is installed open it and press the "Install" button. Then click "Select and Patch a File" and select `boot_a.bin` then `boot_b.bin` files to install Magisk on both. At this point one should rename them to be `magisk_patched-boot_a.img` and `magisk_patched-boot_b.img` based on which one Magisk patched to make it easier for you. At this point transfer `magisk_patched-boot_a.img` and `magisk_patched-boot_b.img` back to the main computer over USB. Open up QFIL and once again run `adb reboot edl`. FAIRLY QUICKLY to avoid errors click the "Select Port" button and click the USB port which the Tab Mini C is plugged into and then click OK. Still quickly click "Tools" -> "Partition Manager" and then click OK on the popup. Within the partition manager find `boot_a` and `boot_b`. For each individually right click on the partition and then click "Manage Partition Data". Then click "Load Image" and point to the corresponding `magisk_patched-boot_a.img` and `magisk_patched-boot_b.img` depending on which partition you're patching. Once both of them are patched, quit out of QFIL. Force the reboot of the device by holding down the power button. Open the Magisk app and click on "Install" at which point their should be a new option "Direct Install". Use that to install directly onto the device after which it should give you the option to reboot. Reboot it and you now have a wonderfully rooted device. Happy reading
