No offense from my side as well, but you are not really searching, right? If you would take a closer look, you would find:

Factory Images for the Pixel XL *new addition (21 Oct 2016)*

OTA Factory Images for the Pixel XL *new addition (21 Oct 2016)*

Binaries for the Pixel XL *new addition (21 Oct 2016)*

Yes, it's in post #2 and this was posted "Yesterday at 20:35" (CET). I won't post every single image of course, there will be threads about it as usual, only the links to the full factory image, the OTA images and binaries should be pretty fine. And don't demand or expect a daily update. I already update this thread several times during the week and if this is not enough for you, please take this problem to a moderator, I assume you already know how to do.

I have a private life, too. My device index threads are usually maintained for several years (didn't drop support for my first one yet btw). You can bet this will be maintained for years as well. XDA members can help maintaining the device index threads by posting new thread links, please remember when complaining truly missing links next time.

OEM Unlocking option grayed out

I bought a Google Pixel XL 128GB from KickMobiles on London, UK. It was listed as "Genuine Sealed UK Factory Unlocked Units with EU Wide Warranty". I verified the information directly with the store. Unfortunately, I couldn't get them directly from Google Store since I don't have a UK credit card.

Well, I can't seem to be able to bootloader unlock the phone.

Android version: 7.1

Android security patch level: October 5, 2016

Baseband: 8996-012511-1609081444

Kernel version: 3.18.310g19caf23

Build number: NDE63H

I haven't allowed the phone to connect to any network yet just in case I shouldn't update it's firmware.

I did the usual:

Enabled "Developer Options"

Enabled "USB Debugging"

Couldn't enable "OEM Unlocking" since it's grayed out

The bootloader screen has the following information:

I guess I got the wrong phone. They're "unlocked" as in not-linked-to-any-telco. However, they don't seem to be bootloader unlockable.

I'm open to suggestions other than return phones (I've already left the UK and I'm not coming back any time soon).

Any ideas? This is very frustrating since getting the phones isn't possible on Brazil unless you import them.

2 days ago, the "OEM unlocking" option suddenly was no longer grayed out. I was able to activate it on Developer Options.

I succeeded on bootloader unlocking Google Pixel XL. Firmware Version hasn't changed. I still haven't applied the November update.

I have no idea what changed. I'm just happy it did.

KickMobiles in London should be a safe source of unlockable Google Pixel phones.

Hardware Information

hello according to one of the above links there are only two models the normal and xl size, does that mean there is no

diference between the one google sold and the verizon model and if so could i use a motherboard that came from a google version

on a verizon one?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pizza_pablo:
For the US, there is a difference. for the Verizon models, any firmware above 7.1, cannot be bootoloader unlocked.

The model numbers are identical.

I searched at length and have come to the determination tha the only way to tell the difference between Verizon and Google models is to attempt a bootloader unlock.

This AC thread shows the end of my attempts to decipher a difference. There are screenshots from both a Verizon and a Google unlocked for the US Pixel XLs.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Shrewdy:
hi,

I have a RN3 SD currently running MIUI 8.0.1.0 Official Global version. I have officially unlocked bootloader on my device.

I am planning to flash Official CM13 on my device.

So, here are my questions ...

1. If I have a nandroid backup of MIUI 8 and supposed I am not happy with CM13, can I simply restore the nandroid backup and will everything be working the way it is now?

2. Will I keep receiving OTA updates from Xiaomi even though I have an Officially unlocked bootloader?

Or is there some step involved before reverting back to MIUI 8.

I will be very grateful if someone can answer this for me.

Thank you

Hi all, while I've been into rooting for years, I'm still fairly new to this community. I've recently embarked on a mission to develop a social app for Android, but I'm finding it difficult to get started for a number of reasons, the main one being lack of knowledge.

[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Katmeat:
Knowing that it was likely that I would be able to swap for the replacement Note 7 today, I used Smart Switch to completely backup my loaner S7 Edge last night. Then, when I saw there was about an hour wait at the Verizon store this morning, I decided to again back up just my email and messages through Smart Switch, thinking that there was no need to again backup Settings and Apps. Much to my horror, when I went to restore everything to the new replacement N7 through Smart Switch, all that it would allow me to restore from the external card were the messages and email from the last backup, and nothing from the complete backup the previous evening. I had foolishly thought that it would not erase the previous backup when I did only a partial backup this morning. I found out the hard way that it is not that smart.

Hi - I really am in need of help. My phone which is a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (was) running latest 6.x firmware,

but custom and rooted via DarkStalker's awesome ROM. All was running fine for months. I did do

one

thing before my phone died,

I turned OFF developer option and forgot to turn it back ON before I i rebooted. Now the phone is bricked ( I pray it is SOFT not

hard bricked ). When I turn ON the phone it just says "FRP Lock is ON" and then shuts off.

I can enter download mode but NOT recovery. This phone is my work phone and has so much important stuff on it, I just have to fix this.

Plus my wife will shot me for paying $700 and breaking it.

Anyway ... I assume I must go back to stock some how. I can boot to download mode and connect to Odin. But I tried to flash:

1) SM-N920T_1_20160702132553_r0dr7864oe.zip

Also I tried this file ( again via Odin )

2) Noble_Kernel_Auto-Root_N920T_v0.1_Rebuid3.tar.md5

But BOTH files resulted in a FAIL on the Odin screen. ( SEE PIC BELLOW )

Now when I boot it boots to a screen that says this:

Sooooo basically I can NOT boot to the OS because the FRP lock is ON and I guess should be OFF, but when I try to Odin Flash I get a FAIL at the end of the flash. ( again see picture bellow )

PLEASE HELP :) I will try anything. .. My job and my wife are going to kill me soon.....

Cheers to all

Thanks

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] JohnMonsour:
Unfortunately I did the exact same thing as you one time. And unfortunately Odin wouldn't allow me to flash anything. But there was this tool we use to use all of the time for the s4 and it's called Samsung Kies. As in "keys". Basically as long as you can get in download mode it doesn't matter how you brick it.

You just soft bricked it but the bad thing is we can't flash unadulterated version of firmware with Odin. So if frp lock is on Odin is a no go. And when I say unadulterated I mean one that's not directly from Samsung not touched or changed in anyway.... which are hard to come by in many cases in my experience. When the recovery is changed it won't pass an Odin check usually if frp lock is on. Matter of a fact I don't think you can flash anything with fap lock on with Odin. Due to the fact that frp lock is basically saying bootloader locked.

When you turn off oem mode you unlock the checks put in place by the firmware and hardware during boot. Odin uses these checks also so when you try and flash it'll be a no go. Good news for you is this already happened to me and I figured why couldn't I just restore with heimdall. Well that's a no go to. So final solution was to try out kies that I had remembered using heavily with the s4.

1. Download Samsung Kies3. Link: http://www.samsung.com/pk/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/#none

2: Install and open kies.

3. Go to the the tools tab and select firmware upgrade and initialization.

4. It will ask for your model name. Type SM-N900T.

5. Now it will ask for the Serial Number of your device. It is located on the back of your phone toward the bottom. Type that in and hit enter.

6. Now a message pops up and says the device can be restored etc...... Hit OK.

7. Now a message says Now initializing latest version. Hit OK.

8. Now it will Prepare software for initialization.

9. A screen will come up that says "Please follow the steps below to proceed with emergency recovery.

A. Make sure that the device is turned off.

B. Switch the device to recovery mode and reconnect the cable.

- To switch to recovery mode, turn on the device by pressing the Power button while holding down the Volume control "▼" Button and the Home button, and then press Continue (the Volume control "▲") button.

10. When it detects you are in download mode it will take care of the rest.

Try not to make the same mistake again.

Thank you JohnMonsour for taking the time to write all that. I will save it for future use if needed. BUT ... thanks to Josezr I got it fixed.

I was able to boot into download mode like I stated, but I just needed the correct firm to flash. They all failed until I tried

N920TUVS4DPH2_N920TTMB4DPH2_TMB.zip ( Thank you Josezr ).

I just flashed that file and Odin completed and phone rebooted to OS. So ALL IS GOOD. My only question now is ... inside the developer

options section ( in settings ) I have turned Developer options back ON :p but ... all the options that can be set ON or OFF are in the OFF

position and I am not sure which should be turned on. Can anyone please give me a quick run down on how they should be set .. like this:

next ones set to,

its so much wrong with this write up its not funny...for one his model number is sm-n920t second if he is in frp lock then he cant turn his phone off, i tried this method it doesnt work period
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] JohnMonsour:
you can't turn your phone off?

Yeah actually you can hard reset it and then enter download mode....

Hold volume down the home button and power for like 10 seconds then when the screen turns black you quickly hold volume down, home, and power......

You might not be able to turn it off but you can still enter recovery and download mode.

You might not be able to get into recovery depending on how screwed up your phone is.

And kies3 version was the only one that would work with the above method, now kies has checks in place that checks your knox status and if you've tripped knox it won't work. I can rewrite the guide and link the proper kies if it's really necessary. But this is from 2016 so I am sure that I don't need a proper rewrite.

And at this point I'm pretty sure it might not even matter what version of kies is used it probably does all checks server-side. So this method is obsolete for an almost obsolete phone.

Sorry I didn't help you.

Hi everyone,

I heard that the AT&T Note5 got an update today to include WiFi calling and the works. I am on AT&T with an n920i model and was wondering if it's possible to rip the WiFi calling from the new AT&T rom and get it working on other variants. I only ask this because I've seen T-Mobile based roms that work on other variants but include T-Mobile's WiFi calling in them.

Just wondering if someone might know or be willing to take a crack at it

I've been playing around trying to change csc on my 920i as well.

2. Where did you get your At&t CSC files.

I got them off this thread :

https://xdaforums.com/note-7/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-v1-0-t3450911

3. Can you post the CSC AT&T FILES that you are using.

TIA
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abde27:
I performed all my csc file changes on stock Marshmallow firmware, originally XSA I believe. I used files from this dev's tool: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s7/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-30-t3392949

The actual tool will not work on the Note5. It performs a device check and fails to proceed after identifying the model we're using. I ripped the actual CSC files out (Marshmallow ones, not Nougat) and manually replaced them using the TWRP file manager on my device.

My device booted up, and identifies as an N920I with an AT&T CSC. I even have the option to enable Enhanced LTE services, but selecting the option doesn't actually activate it. (I also have an S8+ that is the AT&T variant so I do have WiFi calling and HD Voice activated on my account) I think it's because of the actual ROM, but I'm not sure. I'll have more time to test things out now that I'm done with exams.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LouK:
Thanks for reply.

Did same - ripped - files from devs files.

Though the files I got are from a nougat Rom and I'm using on nougat Rom.

Experience is mostly same as you somethings work some don't.

If you have the At&t S8+ can you roo the csc files from there?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abde27:
I'm afraid I can't do any modifications to my S8+ because of a legal obligation to Samsung's Insights program, but I can trying finding the firmware itself online and attempt to rip CSC files from that.

On the other hand, it may not be worth the hassle. Reading up on the S8 forums, it seems how the handle CSC for the S8 devices is different, adding a new partition called userdata which holds the files for the carriers (not sure if I understood that right though). If I had more technical know-how, I would try to port a full AT&T rom that can be flashed through TWRP and try that on my device, but I have no real idea how to approach that.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LouK:
I hear you ...

Still It was an idea......
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinySide:
Just FYI carrier wifi calling has never ever been successfully (or even remotely working that I've ever seen or recall) ported to another device (same device or not) or firmware. It's been attempted since day one of tmo releasing their wifi calling. So can tell you CSC edits are a waste of time along with ripping all the WiFi calling bits from att firmware and throwing it in yours. Pretty sure even the CM guys tried porting it to tmo devices running cm and got no where with it way back in the day.

Trying to flash an att firmware (minus the Crap that'll fail, bootloader,etc) *might* work as long as you have an att sim but it might even rely on modem.bins too which would most likely fail to flash since you couldn't do it in the past via odin either. Not sure on that one because I use to always have tmo devices and service so never had to bother with that.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abde27:
I think I've seen some users on the s7 forums saying they actually got it working. Maybe it was T-Mobile though...

Regardless, you've given me an idea regarding the CSC. The files I used were from the s7, but they were the qualcomm variant. The Note5 is all exynos variants, so using qualcomm files may cause incompatibility.

But if I pull CSC files from the AT&T Note5 rom, then it might work.

Everything is a long shot. The Note5 isn't my primary device anymore which is why I feel alright taking risks and flashing different things. It's like how that saying goes, you'll miss all the shots you never take.
