What switch did you "flip" in order to get the OEM unlock to work?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] silencertk:
Am in Germany and can confirm that the bootloader is locked but can be unlocked with adb fastboot OEM unlock
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jamexman:
Yup, both working just fine.

Did you get the update with Verizon pushed out with a different sim card ?I wanna buy Verizon Pixel and use AT&T
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jamexman:
In the developers options section. As with past nexuses. I just enabled the OEM unlock option, rebooted and did the fastboot command.

However my situation is different if you read my post. Maybe review oriented phones are whitelisted? Didn't that pcmag site had the same happen to them with a Verizon one and unlocking de bootloader worked for them. Maybe it's the retail ones that are blacklisted?

Just some thoughts.

PS only I thing I don't like is the ugly screen that shows when I turn on the phone from being off telling me I'm unlocked and not secure. It's not even full resolution lol. No **** Sherlock Google, I chose to be unlocked and don't need to be reminded hahaha, just ranting.

Mine came from memphis where verizon phones usually came from. Its most likely they were able to make cahnges to the phone remotely or however they do it. Have to wait till someone cracks it but in before someone says you should have bought it from google.....

There may be hope. Jcase just tweeted, ""Built by Google" still uses HTC OMADM implementation, WeakSauce 5???".

Mine came feom mountain view CA. Isnt that where Google is at? Even though its supposed to be a Verizon one... Hmm maybe thats why mine was able to unlock the bootloader...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] neyenlives:
Basically your device is not a Verizon device. Neither was the one sent to PC Magazine for review.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jamexman:
It appears that's the case, even though it came with a Verizon sim inside. I got lucky then! Other than that, you don't think thy can relock the bootloader on me on a future OTA no?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] lucky_strike33:
Flash twrp then they won't be able to relock it with ota
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] neyenlives:
The sim doesn't make the device anything. You can put any sim in these.

This makes me think sunsine works on the pixel. Anyone try it yet?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] GhostRider5666:
I have tried, it says not supported device? SunShine only supports some HTC and MOTO devices. We could not identify your device as HTC or MOTO.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jamexman:
To clarify any confusion, as I see more people commenting on their free for review phones unlocked bootloaders. Any "verizon" ones obtained through review channels (meaning you get the phone free to review it) are all in reality google unlocked bootloader ones (shipped directly by google in reality) with just a verizon sim inside. They do not apply to the real retail verizon-bestbuy ones, that are confirmed to have it locked. Just saying that here so people don't confuse other ones with "i have a verizon one and its unlocked bootloader".
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] neyenlives:
Yeah. That was actually a poor choice by Google. It's as if they thought nobody cared about that as a feature.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] iamwin:
hi! i've been using B&L 2.07.05 FF rom for the past 3 weeks and i didnt have any problem at all.

before i slept last nyt, i charged my xda exec. then this morning, i found that my exec doesnt have a signal for my GLOBE SIM... i tried to change sim to another GLOBE SIM, at startup, it has signal, but after a few seconds, the signal vanishes. i tried turning the flight mode ON and OFF to regain signal, and i noticed that the ppc will ha signal for a few seconds and then the signal will be gone...

however, when i tried using a SMART SIM, my signal seemd to be very stable, no fluctuations at all.

what could b the problem? why is it that my exec suddenly lost signal (for globe) though i've been using this exec for about 10 months..

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exodusche:
Can't use the twrp you used on OS 3 for ROMs that don have updated bootloader (currently Ashwins CM13, CM14 do.) For the rest you have to use original twrp. You can just flash it in your current recovery by pressing IMG button bottom right.

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Glock Matherson:
Hi MaxETHAN,

I'm new here but I've tried a few media players myself recently. Not sure where you are but I've bought two locally and looking at trying a 3rd this weekend.

The first one I bought was from Vision on sale for $69 (currently on sale) called the KT-609. It's an unknown Japanese company that makes it with no site to get data from. At first it had some bugs but I think I caused those myself. LOL. It's only a 1GB memory and 8GB nand. I installed the most updated Kodi apk file on it, not from the Google Playstore, but from the Kodi site itself. I haven't had a problem with it in forever and now use it in my bedroom as a streaming source. Not that my couch isn't awesome to fall asleep watching the big game on, it's more or less sleeping in cause of no alarm clock to wake me up and make me late for work. Oooops. LOL. I've tried apps on it and it works well. I've added a wireless keyboard and mouse and it worked perfectly.

I just recently purchased the Minix Neo U1. I heard so many amazing things about this box. The first thing I did was upgraded the firmware. That was my first mistake. I should of researched it first as some have reported bugs. I've had a lot of problems with Kodi and XMBC crashing a LOT. I mean 20 plus times each! Plus when poking around to see it's options, it freezes up. Even just checking out the apps section it crashes. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the firmware update but... eh. I'm going to keep playing with it this weekend to see if I can keep the box stable. Right now, I'm not a fan of this box. But that's not to say I will change my mind if I can fix the issues. Sorry to be so wishy washy on this box but..... OH, I added that same wireless mouse and keyboard to it and it froze a lot too. Had to keep unplugging it to reset it.

The third box I'm getting this weekend to try out is the Seiki Media Streaming Box at Canadian Tire. I know NOTHING about this box and even posted here if anyone has any info on it. From the stats I've read on the CT site, it looks smokin good! Plus return features are a HUGE bonus. Like 1 year exchange warranty, if the box dies or has problems 8 months in, you go get a new one. No hassle.

Sorry I couldn't be more help but another option is if you have a laptop with an HDMI output. I've used FreeTelly on my laptop and hooked it up to TVs at friends places who refuse to get an Android box. FreeTelly is basically a special version of Kodi with all the bells and whistles already done for you.

Good luck and please let me and the rest here know what you decided to get and of course, give a review so we can all help each other.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
Anyone have experience with them to share?

I decided to go with the $5/month option for this phone purchase.

I'll do this and skip buying a case.

The Insurance says it covers the phone if you drop & break it.

$99 deductible I think?

I figure I'll have the phone for one year, which amounts to $60 paid in Insurance.

If I drop and break it anytime during that year, that'll be $100 deductible + $60 insurance spent and I get a replacement phone.

Heck, I've spent $100 on cases in just a single year before.

A $30 case here, then another $30 case there just to get a kickstand, then another $30 case there because I liked the new ones style better, etc. etc.

I think I'm done with cases and screen protectors.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] diomark:
I can tell you from personal experience - that means you'll have a phone with a slight scratch that's not worth paying $100 to replace but still really annoying to look at. Also if the pixel is even half as slippery as the nexus 6p was, you're going to want something w/ more grip on it.

-m
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
I'll be using a Kickstand4U, so I don't really need to worry about slippery phones.

The kickstand sticks to the back of the phone and gives it a "bump" that works nicely when holding the phone.

And also the kickstand opens up with a "loop" that you can insert a finger into which is comfortable and makes it impossible to accidentally drop the phone.

http://www.remotesystems.com/kickstand4u
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] clockcycle:
The problem with Asurion which covers the replacement phone is that they always send back refurbs in most cases but not all it's a Gamble. Unless you claim a replacement within the first month or so where they have new replacement units to cover the initial claims.

Personally I put on an ultra thin tpu and glass screen protector and not worry. I carry my phone in front pocket.
[XDA Assist] topgman80:
I have two zte z987s. One is still running 4.4.4 and the other 5.1. I had the 5.1 partially rooted somehow ( not sure exactly what I did), but I had superuser access. Unfortunately, I had to reset it, lost SU, and can't figure out how to do it again. I was going to try rooting the 4.4.4 because I had read on one of XDAs great threads that there is a method. My problem is I don't have "Allow OEM unlock" option on the 4.4.4. They are the exact same phone, both from cricket. Can anyone help guide me in the right direction. I am new to rooting and XDA has been a great learning tool. You guys are awesome and I appreciate what you do. I have rooted several other phones using odin, fastboot, sideload, etc. All by teaching myself, so as I said, I am not a noob. Just a 2nd year player learning the ropes. Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

Thanks again guys!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jfriend33:
I can definitely get a full day of use but this battery life is not as good as my friends s7 edge that is a power user. On vacation my droid turbo died (lots of video and photos) and at the end of the day he still had 40 percent!

Just wondering if it's this new update? I have disabled every stock app that I don't use.

I am used to an unlocked bootloader device or equivalent with Xposed and such. I will say that I don't really "need" root with this phone. It does everything quite nicely. But I am kinda regretting letting the system update and now I am basically locked out of rooting this?

Would another factory reset be my only option here? TIA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] amorrn:
You mention a droid turbo, is that the phone you have? If so, this is probably the wrong forum to ask in.

If you do have an edge, what firmware are you on? Afaik the engineering kernel for root has worked on every update so far, but it certainly won't improve battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jfriend33:
Thanks for the reply! I have an s7 edge for Verizon. And you're right for some reason rooting seems to worsen the battery. Here's my system info. I've tried using the battery optimizer, not using it, disabling Google sync, doesn't matter still has super high android system and android OS usage.

I guess I'll try another factory reset?

My friend also just confirmed what I was not hoping for, his s7 edge battery life has also worsened since updating.

Is there a way to revert back to previous versions and prevent update notifications? Tia
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ShadowyStorm:
If you don't use vvm WiFi calling or video chat I say go u firmware. If you do use all that try a clean Odin install of the new firmware. Layered on ota updates can cause issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] amorrn:
As you are on PH1 firmware, you cannot downgrade to a lower firmware. The bootloader was updated in that version. As the other poster has suggested, you could try a clean flash of PH1 or the latest u firmware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] GuestK00143:
You can flash the PH1 firmware from here and use the HOME_CSC instead of the CSC_VZW and you will unroot and not have to reinstall apps. Or you can flash the PI3 U firmware with no Verizon bloat from here but do the opposite and flash CSC_OYM instead of HOME_CSC_OYM and factory reset. All the directions you need are in post 1. These are the only two firmwares you can flash because you are on PH1 with a updated bootloader.

I am not currently rooted
[HTC First] aberean:
I am able to unlock bootloader via the htcdev method, I show I am s-off, I flash twrp and it says it succeeded. hold volume- and power to get to bootloader no prob. select recovery it gives me one of two errors. 1) this htc device is for blah blah blah or 2) I get a red triangle with a hard drive symbol and after a miniute or so it will reboot to normal. I have not been able yet to get into recovery for both twrp or cwm
[HTC First] aberean:
Some-what Solved

Just for the sake of others, Ive been messing with this for a few days. finally found someone mention using an older version of twrp. I was using twrp-3.0.2-0-mystul so I tried the version mentioned openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-mystul and that solved the problems I was having.

Next question. I was reading that I had to downgrade to

RUU_MYST_UL_Cingular_US_1.08.502.1_Radio_1.15.40.00.13_2_10.64.40.33AL_release_316579_signed_2

to make mooshine's s-off tool work but i could never get it to work, ended up being easier to input it all maually.

question is can I upgrade back to

RUU_MYST_UL_Cingular_US_1.08.502.4_Radio_1.19.40.00.09_10.69.40.33IL_release_327090_signed_2

or is there something better

and can I do this with out losing root and twrp or will I have to redo all of this again, I have seen these are difficult devices with little support.

Also, I am seeing that after I am rooted and all, I have also deleted ALL "AT&T" apps, I now have the problem of the stock chrome app crashes and causes a reboot every time it is opened. Should I just remove this and then download it from the app store so it doesnt have any dependancies on at&t if that is what is going on?

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] outamoney:
I know there's been a ton of posts about returning or keeping or whatever you gonna do with your note seven but just wanted to try to get all the information together in one thread.

What we know :

There is a voluntary recall

The major carriers want you return your device immediately

The US CPSC says "to power down immediately"

Samsung is discontinuing support and updates for it

The phone is banned from all us flights

Small possibility or device could overheat and catch fire

Alternative devices at this point are not comparable

At this point you can do two things, keep it or exchange it. Viable alternatives being HTC 10, LG V20, and Google Pixel / Pixel XL. I don't really want any of those phones so ....

As far is keeping it goes...

I doubt the TSA will be able identify on the spot a note 7 and tell you you can't board whatever flight.

I've heard stories about carriers blacklisting IMEI numbers, but only after a return was initiated. There's another post on here showing a verizon rep acknowledging that they cannot force you to return your device. I also doubt that carriers will refuse to provide service to "known" note 7 devices. Show from here I think the only drawback to keeping your device is a small chance that you have a defective unit and the lack of updates and support .

In cedar in the discontinued updates and support, what does that really mean? Besides a new or latest version of android, which can be easily ported over or manually flashed, we'll miss out on continued firmware support and development.

However if the phone works as is, and there doesn't seem to be any major flaws in the hardware (which there doesn't to me), do we really even need those?

TL ; DR - By keeping the note 7 we're only really missing out on firmware updates , and with that in mind , it doesn't seem that crazy to me to keep it .

EDIT: "mandatory" to voluntary
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] SomeGuy2008:
Since Personal Safety and the Safety of those around one, it should be advised by all to power the device down and return it for proper disposal by the manufacturer. One can only imagine that what ever Samsung comes out with when they do will be well worth it I'm sure, They have a lot of repair to do. Just my .02 cents.

There is no mandatory recall it is voluntary.....
