[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] southernstyle:
I don't know how I missed this thread. I was super curious about why I was experiencing so much trouble getting proper activation.

I activated mine the day I got it, online, with the sim card from my HTC 10. It went through but have me an error after it was activated. So I'm currently using that sim and it works with the exception of minor issues like unable to send SMS over 160 characters and MMS not always behaving. Other than that it works.

I went to 3 stores local and while I'm Richmond VA, I checked a corporate store. No one has the damn sim needed! It completely baffles me. Phone rep is having one mailed to me.. how nice of them
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] pabelow03:
got my phone from the google store, trid switching sims but it didnt work. went to a sprint store and told them i need the "3 in 1" simcard to activate an unlocked phone and a guys which actually knew what he was doing swapped the phones for me. there is no activation fees because you are swapping phones, not activating. its working great so far, however sometimes i have some weird signal drops which happens randomly. anyone experiencing the same?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mrgwap03:
Went to the store and they did it for me

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] JG96EVO:
I activated my pixel XL within 10 minutes as well lol idk why they're giving u the runaround. U just need to go to a corporate store and ask them for the sim card with the last 3 numbers ending in 146 or tell them u need a simple card used for the htc M8 it's the same card that ends in 146.

in the sticky labeled questions about the tilt, theres a question in there about how to remove bloatware. my question is what is bloatware?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fzzyrn:
bloatware is any software added by the service provider as part of the software distributed with the default rom. the name can also be used to describe any unnecessary, memory consuming process or program
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Ramsport:
like say at&t media net and so on?

yup, or like all the Java apps/games they install that are limited play,buy now; crap.

They take up space-hence, bloat

Hi there,

I've tried to hear some music with spotify and an bluetooth speaker. Sadly it's not going well. I've noticed that, if my bluetooth is connected to an bluetooth speaker, my wlan bandwidth is very bad. If I turn bluetooth off, it's going well again. I've tried two speakers with the same effect. My tablet has the same bug. I use Cyanogenmod 13 first in a stable Version and now in nightly, same bug on boths versions.

My devices:

Hello, so i already know knox voids warranty, but in europe things seem to be different, and i also got my device from amazon (spanish one) , i was wondering if someone has experience with them and know if they will care or not for knox 0x1?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nitrous²:
Short answer: Yes, they will care.

See, even if you buy from Amazon, they will not be the ones repairing it. They're going to send it to a Samsung certified repair shop. These shops are instructed by device manufacturers to check for certain things. In Samsung's case, they're instructed to check for the Knox flag. If it's tripped, you're going to get notified that your device is no longer covered by the OEM warranty. At that point, you're gonna have to ask Amazon to have it repaired under the statutory warranty and pray that Amazon will play along.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] xAD3r1ty:
Thanks :) i got the device some days ago, but i'm a flashaholic, also i can't be without root, i'll give it a few days and if there's no hardware problem or anything with the device i'm gonna take it's virginity, Peace.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kdar1987:
Does anyone know what phones support OpenCL so that I could build OpenCL applications with NDK for android?

In particular I am interested in speeding up SQLite with something that was done in this blog:

https://fullshovel.wordpress.com/2014/03/19/opencl-accelerated-sqlite-on-arm/

At the moment I have rooted OnePlus One and old Nexus 4.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FreshGaro:
As far as I know, you might be able to use the Nexus 4 as long as you properly install the OpenCL driver.

Source:

As for developing the application, I'm not sure yet. My guess is that you'd be left to cross-compile then link the .so file, or whatever way that root programs are compiled as command line executables.

[Achieved] Acer Predator 8 Gt-810 With Unsecured BOOT.IMG Flashing

What I have:

Acer predator 8 GT-810 (I already Unlocked Bootloader)

Downloaded Acer's OLD Stock full image in zip which contains BOOT.img

---- Modified Stock build.prop

Bootloader2.img from Acer Zip which is a FAT HDD image

Linux Mint with Fastboot and ADB

umkbootimg | gunzip | kate text editor

I am able to Unpack/edit/repack my Acer's Boot.img and is able to flash it back and verified that my changes halfly kicks-in.

So here is my current build.prop loaded on boot and is persistent

As a Result:

I have a persistent ADB service even after reboots

Running ADB does not give a Prompt from device to allow ADB from my Linux

MTP and ADB runs Automatically upon USB Connection

These does not work so far:

Running ADB ROOT as I notice, it automatically restarts my ADB as user only with no SU access

I Hate that $ sign, this indicates that I am still not running as rooted

So even remount does not work

Well just as I expected

___________________________________________________

But here is what is interesting, I am able to flash a Modified Custom Boot and the unit works fine.

I flash using zImage and my re-packed ramdisk

zImage

newramdisk.cpio.gz

My -c (commandline) is derived from the result as I unpack my boot.img

___________________________________________________

You've come this far, I am able to root the Acer Predator GT-810. Been able to Boot GRUB and Windows 10 Pre-install env.

But here are the end result of having sleepless nights.

In oder to ROOT the devices without BOOTLOOPS, make sure to use the SU.zip file after flashing the IMG's

You may flash these img just fine.

Reboot to Recovery via VOL_UP + Power

Flash "superuser.zip" credits to SU team!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arjaylzo:
Now given that I am able to safely flash an edited newramdisk.cpio.gz, please help me is there is anything I can do to enable root via the BOOT.img I am able to unbrick my device while I was testing these

[Unbricking while the device's Bootloader is Unlocked]

Unit is well charged.

Press Vol Up + Vol down + Power

Release power button, but hold Vol + and Vol -

> unit goes to DNX Mode

> Downloaded and extracted Acer's System image zip, extract the content of bootloader2.img

> Flash the file bootx64.efi via

(make sure to copy Acer's_avolo_gt-810.zip to sdcard)

It will load the device to FASTBOOT MODE (Android Environment)

You will now be rebooted to Android's Fastboot environment

Press Vol - till you see "Reboot Recovery"

Press power button,

On Recovery, select Flash UPDATE.zip

Wait a few minutes and Unit has again survived bricked state

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Ruben Craveiro:
I think i have a way of installing permanent twrp on this tablet, ill try on 31th of this month when the tablet comes from switzerland, its a method i used for the Memo pad 7, that uses an Intel CPU, and i used a tool that decompiles stock recovery, copies kernel and other important files and imports them to the twrp that is gonna be ported, and flashes twrp to device automaticly, the only bug i noticed was that splash logo wasnt working other than that its 100% working.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arjaylzo:
I did managed to boot a TWRP Recovery on this device, though since this TWRP For Intel was for a different device, it corrupts the Systems's partition as soon as it is Mounted RW. Therefore is not advisable to flash this in replacement to the stock. I appreciate you helping out, the boot IMG is 8mb, while when the Recovery is flashed into the Unit's partition, it is flashed 30MB

I have it dumped as IMG but is not able to mount as if the IMG file is corrupt.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Ruben Craveiro:
Just wondering, before i unlock the bootloader, can i still get locked and secure state if i reflash all images?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Ruben Craveiro:
can you share that twrp you ported? i think i might be able to fix that since it seems like an fstab_recovery issue..

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Ruben Craveiro:
i flashed stock rom with some modifications on TWRP 3.0.2 and it flashed the uefi wrong. now im stuck in a shell mode i can only access DnX mode, from DnX mode i was able to boot into bootloader but i am not able to boot into stock recovery and reflash stock rom.. help please? whenever i select to boot to recovery it goes back to shell mode.... Just used OTG keyboard and wrote exit on shell and was able to see UEFI, and secure boot ON/OFF options, i could also boot into android, but i cant boot to recovery... I can boot into everything except recovery.

-edit- i used the boot options and did the key pressing to get into recovery and it worked, flashed stock rom and its updating uefi again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arjaylzo:
Never; Do not Re-lock your Bootloader if you have flashed SU, unsecured boot and TWRP rec.

It will cause you BOOTLOADER 04 Error and Bootloop.

I have posted and shared a stock recovery.img dd' from ADB with SU. so this is flashable.

If you wish to re-lock. Flash the Stock Recovery, flash the Stock AV0L0 image. Re-lock bootloader.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Ruben Craveiro:
i know what to do. i already ported my own recovery, twrp 3.0.2, shared everything already rooted.. something you didnt do, share and upload the files...

Thanks [MENTION=4057843]arjaylzo[/MENTION] for all your research and hard work, and sorry it resulted in breaking your tablet. I suggest looking on ebay for a replacement, as I see two for $140 and $160, quite a bit less than the discount I got for Fry's display unit.

The 64bit Atom processor in the Predator is what brought me to look here in the first place, as a Windows/Linux tablet intrigues me.

You booted into WinPE, and were unable to use a keyboard due to lack of USB.. would an unattended installation have more success? I am looking to load Windows 7 ThinPC onto the tablet. I can send you the full non-eval ThinPC ISO if you want to try.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arjaylzo:
I broke two of these Tablets which were brandnew for a week or two :(

I realize that the reason why the USB does not work is because of the Slimport Chip embedded to it which also serve as the USB Data/Charging port gateway.

Key Points are:

Slimport Gateway to USB is Enabled by default while in BIOS down to Initial BOOT. (tested to work on Grub bootup)

But as soon as Kernels (applies to Windows and Linux) are loaded, then the Slimport Chip gets disabled.

Therefore, somehow, someone has to embed the Driver for the Slimport chip in the WinPE environment or onto the Linux Pre-loading sequence.

I tinkered with the Bios settings, which resulted to the breakdowns. 1st unit no longer gets charged or detects USB's when I made adjustments to its AHCI settings under USB, also probably changing the settings from HOST to (whatever the other was)

The 2nd unit, I messed-up the Factory deafult Partition table. Using ADB, I partitioned the USERSpace partly with MSDOS/Fat to test some functionalities and set it up as Bootable Partition. Oh yes! I also am able to boot Linux Mate and able to see that the default distro shows the Desktop, Wifi and sound icons. So I assume they worked. But of course, not for the Touch Screen. So still Bumped. Later I decided to DD the USB onto that MSDOS partition and finally break the unit.

Worse, I have a Bios Programmer, so I desoldered the working Bios chip from Unit 2 (Partition issue) to the Unit 1 (Bios Issue). unfortunately, the chip maybe misalligned and that both no longer turns-on. Will soon check again and see if there is any chance I can re-allign the chip to the board and get a better Hot-air soldering equipment.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Ruben Craveiro:
i hardbricked mine too.. but im not sure what it was.. i plugged in a headphone with a bit larger cable(the iron thingy) and it shutdown my tablet and now it doesnt turn on, ive tried disconecting battery and reconnecting but doesnt work and idk whats wrong with it.. it has no changes to bios or anything..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] biorpg:
I just saw this in the Predator 8 user manual, and wondered if either of you had considered the battery's temperature when you have issues with it? 104F is less than what it gets to outside here in the summer, so it seems it would be easy for the battery to reach that temperature while under load or being charged on an already hot day.

i have made a mistake and disabled secure boot. now i can only boot in system but without recovery or fastboot, only dnx fastboot. tried to flash bootx64.efi and fastboot boot boot.img but it just shows the same bootloader 04 error. is there any way out of it? i'm on unlocked bootloader

edit: figured out on my own, by sheer luck.

so, if i want to enter recovery, hold power vol up, it will get me to bootloader error but when i press vol up, it will boot me in recovery. same with the fastboot.

now i have unsecured boot, but no knowledge to install grub or refind, because i wanna try and install android x86 cm13 iso on it and have marshmallow, or at least see if it will boot

Help,PLZ

I don't have another phone.I gotta fix this as soon as possible in case I don't miss any important phone calls. plz. Somebody gives me a hand.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustang_ssc:
The problem is that you're not installing the TWRP flashable rom.

See that the zip file of the CM13 build you tried to install is called cm13......bacon-

signed-fastboot

......zip. So you're trying to install a fastboot rom with a custom recovery, instead of trying to install a custom rom for a custom recovery. That's why TWRP doesn't found any meta-inf folder.

When downloading the rom in the official web be sure to download the one compatible with custom recoveries.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimonYJB:
Okay,Thanks. But when I tried another ROM (NucleaRom-V2.1.4-BETA[7.0]-bacon-20161011-0245.zip) ,I failed again. It occurred error 7. The TWRP is universal in many ROMs,right?I used to installed many with it successfully.However, I failed again and again this time.:(
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustang_ssc:
The 7 error use to happen when you get a bad download and there is missing data. You can compare the md5 of the rom to check if there are missing data or simply download it again, or try another rom.

Also i suggest you to use the latest TugaPower TWRP.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimonYJB:
Actually,I'm using the latest TeamWin - TWRP. Here is the screenshot. I downloaded the cm13 official but it didn't work too. Could you give a guide to get a Tugapower TWRP? Maybe it will work with the TugaPower TWRP.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustang_ssc:
Did you do wipes (system, data, cache and dalvik cache) before flashing the roms?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimonYJB:
yea,of course. This problem began at my last ROM(H2OS V2.0.1). Is it the main reason? Before that ROM ,everything goes well.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustang_ssc:
Well, honestly i don't know.

I would suggest you to check if the files you have downloaded are not corrupted in case the computer where you're downloading the roms is corrupt them, i experienced that case. So you can check md5 following this guide: http://forums.androidcentral.com/optimus-v-rooting-roms-hacks/113984-what-md5-how-use-verify-your-download.html

And the TWRP i suggested you is here: http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/development/unofficial-twrp-3-0-x-tugapower-t3398366. You can install it though fastboot or try with the current recovery you have.

You should only apply updates with the same Cxxx as yours.I thought that you have C432 from the other guy's post so I'm sorry.

And I've found B210 with C469 so you can update to this first with extracting the recovery from it with Huawei Update Extractor and flashing via fastboot and then updating via dload but i don't know if there's EMUI 4.0 for C469.

That's not so bad, I don't care about themes, don't use Android Pay, and doing the updates manually isn't a huge pain. Is there anything else that I lose? Presumably I'll be able to roll back to gra-l09c02b191 to restore full functionality?

So can I then just go directly for the latest firmware, which I guess is B370?
