Since I've android 11 (oxygenOS 11) on my Oneplus 8 pro  boldbeast doesn't start anymore. I get a black screen after given permissions to the app.
What to do?

We have just released the new version of Boldbeast Recorder V13.8. Please update the app on your phone to V13.8.
We need time to publish the new version in Google Play. At this moment please download it from our web site: https://www.boldbeast.com/android/call_recorder.html
Thanks.

Thanks for the quick update. The app can be openend like it did. The problem I get is, I can't record now.
I set the clip saving to SAF and created a folder, I also set it to Sandbox: neither works.
I installed the magisk module as supposed in fix recording issues: no effect
Set everything to default settings: no effect
What else to do? It worked always out of the box but now: no old recordings anymore in the list and no new recordings to make.

You help is appreciated again.

With kind regards, Henk-Jan

Update: there are problems for the app to get su privelege. I use magisk canary, grant it but get the error [-3] re-rooting in the app
It seems Boldbeast doesn't recognize the root

If there is no coming updated Magisk version (or Boldbeast recorder) so what about making Boldbeast Recorder as Magisk module? Would that help for su privilege problem? Or any latest news about this problem (there´s no solution yet in Magisk Github)?

5

The new version of Magisk V21 changed its selinux policies, and that made the "Boldbeast can't get root access" problem.

Yes i know, but You must update your program (and Github issue is now closed). Because there is working apps which require root permissions. Maybe it is not easy but please give us some information. Any plans to try Magisk module or update app and when? And are You sure that closed source code is best way to keep app updated and working?

We'll change the app to fix the problem.

Thanks for reply. I installed Magisk module, and 13.9 version but still no root options. Restarted phone multiple times, granted new root permissions to Boldbeast, installed module again (it is shown on Magisk list)... But it works when i disabled rooted options (except i cant use sandbox for recording location and callers voice is not sot good). And if i try to enable rooted options again, there´s notification that my phone is not rooted.

Pixel 3, Magisk 21.0, Manager 8.0.2.

Magisk V21 changed its selinux policies, and that made Boldbeast Recorder can't get root access.
We are changing the app at this moment. We'll release a new version of the app to fix it soon.

Like i wrote, i installed Magisk module. But i tried it again, removed, booted, installed Magisk Module (CallRecordingFix), booted, no go.

I got the same problems like Kayttaja99 posted: neither the first nor the second magisk module works. I sent a log but got the same answer as before (this site) which doesn't give a properly solution. I tried to figure out going back to Magisk 20.0 but it can't without a complete wipe which I don't want to.
So a solution that works is highly appreciated.

At this moment if needed you can run this command:
    supolicy --live "allow untrusted_app magisk unix_stream_socket *"
This changes a little bit of selinux policy, and the app can get root access at once.

We'll change the app to use the binder communication method that is the only way allowed by Magisk V21. A lot of work to do. I estimate we can release the new version of Boldbeast Recorder V14.1 within several weeks. When the new version is OK it will no longer need to change selinux policy.

On my Pixel 3a, even with the magisk module, i cannot get root access anyway.....

That sounds great. Now I can't use boldbeast recorder but there's light on the horizon. Keep going.

Thanks, that is the problem. When i go to: adb shell
then type:
su
supolicy --live "allow untrusted_app magisk unix_stream_socket *"

Root options are available and recording works. But this has to be done after every boot.

We have just released the new version of Boldbeast Recorder V14.2. Please update the app on your phone to V14.2. The problem has been fixed. Now just install the app and go, no need to change selinux. It works great.

Google Play may need time to publish it. If at this moment the new version is unavailable in your area please download it from our web site: https://www.boldbeast.com/android/call_recorder.html
Thanks.

Thanks and great news: we can use the recorder again as before. It works like a charm!
I guess the magisk module can be deleted now?

Some phones need the CallRecordingFix module to fix call recording problems.
Some phones don't need it, in this case it can be deleted.
