[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sternweezy:
I recently RMA'd my device as the battery was giving up on me at 15-20%. I'm not sure if this is hardware or software related as I've seen this happen to other 6P owners recently but when my Note did that it was the battery degrading. Anyways, I received my replacement device and it is refurbished. It came in a small brown box with the short PC cable. For the most part it looks new but there are a few tiny scratches on the polished edge. Now I'm wondering how they decide on what to send for RMAs. I would assume a year into the devices release would default RMAs to refurbs but I'm seeing people are still receiving new devices. I'm on my 5th or 6th RMA due to screen issues and button bends and all those devices were new but really early in the year. I've emailed CS to ask how this works. Generally I'm fine with a refurb as it has been looked over twice and more meticulously than a new phone (I'd assume) so it has a better chance of no defects. But I think a lot of people see refurbs as a lower cost item vs new. If I were to sell this phone I think it will be looked at as a lower value. Plus the box information no longer matches the device information.

For those of you that received new devices. What did the RMA email say? Mine stated a refurbished device so there was no question on what I was receiving.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIGSAMDA1ST:
This was my email with of course the tracking number and instructions on telling me that it needed an adult signature. But it never said anything about being new or refurbished, although it came in new box with all accessories.

Dear Huawei Customer,

This email is to inform you that our repair center upon reviewing your warranty eligibility has provided a replacement device of your product.The replacement unit is being returned to you via UPS tracking number:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ulver:
I currently just received my 3rd 6P. This time there's a small dent on the plastic where the power button is. I called Google, they had me send a pic of it. The guy first said I would be able to order a replacement, then he put me on hold came back and said my case would be escalated to someone higher up and that they would be calling me tomorrow about it. Weird.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da_hool:
I complained that in the email I was promised a new unit but I suspect the one I received is refurbished because non matching box, no labels, and 2015-10-09 manufacture date. Huawei's response is that I received a "host" unit shipped from China and assured me it new, unused, non-refurbished. Not sure what "host" unit means and I don't get why it wouldn't have the proper retail packaging if it was brand new, not to mention having 1 year old stock of a "new" phone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ulver:
I just got an email about my replacement:

Please take note that this isn't our normal process and we are going out of our way to take care of this concern. In the future we won't be processing cosmetic damage under normal use. We also recommend you to purchase a case to protect the device from any cosmetic damage.

Lol, my phone came like this! Wow.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahfu25:
Just an update. I did receive a brand new device that came in original box as if I purchased it from google brand new.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kobusestas:
I just got mine on the 8th and it was a refurbished one. Came in one of those clear plastic stretchers they sometimes use to ship laptops. There was a USB A to USB C cable inside (one of the short ones that usually comes with the phone).

When Nougat gets released for this phone in how ever long it takes do you think someone will eventually be able to root it on this phone?

Seriously?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] FreshIce21:
you don't have to be a douche
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] SkyAttacksX:
You don't have to call him a douche. Honestly, I was thinking "Seriously?" as well because this is the first thing you think (rather, post of) before Nougat even comes out. We can't see the future, so this question will probably go without an indefinite answer. My input on it, though, is that root is possible if engboot still works, but if it doesn't then we're probably screwed. And I doubt engboot will work without having even MORE issues than it already does, if it even works at all.

But seriously, the name calling was unnecessary. You're the one asking the question, no need to call people names.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] FreshIce21:
thank you for your reply on your thoughts about it, thats all I was looking for. The person did not have to comment "seriously" he could have just ignore my post all together, I believe he was being a douche. The commenting of "seriously" was unnecessary.

So rooted MM or non-related Nougat... that will be the question
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] 52brandon:
I don't understand the reasoning behind the question. Nougat isn't even out yet. If you want root, then root your phone. If you want rooted Nougat, wait a couple days after release for someone to build a rooted ROM on it. Why would you want to flash back to stock just to root again instead of just flashing the rooted version from the beginning? I'm assuming that's why you got the "seriously?" reactions. Well, that and the fact that since Nougat hasn't even been released yet, so it's physically impossibly for anyone to know if it can be rooted. But yeah, I'd advise you to wait until someone uploads a rooted Nougat ROM for your phone instead if flashing back to stock and hoping to root that way. Its a million times easier to root it before putting it on your device
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] jpasher:
Based upon my understanding of how KNOX operates along with the stricter changes made to dm-verity in 7.0, I wouldn't hold my breath when it comes to rooting the S7. I know that the guys that come up with these rooting methods are very creative and smart, but KNOX, combined with SELinux, dm-verity, and locked bootloaders, is almost impossible to overcome. I've been looking at the people discussing the dirtyc0w exploit as an alternative root method, and I don't think it's possible to use it because of these safeguards.

We were extremely lucky with the leaked engboot method of rooting the S7. Without that, it's very possible that we still wouldn't have root on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] DeadlySin9:
Just a bit of addition to this conversation: It's likely our current root method won't work on Nougat. It depends on how different the kernels are, but since the engboot is built for MM there's no guarantee it's compatible with a new version. There's no guarantee it won't prevent flashing the engboot kernel once you're on it, and flashing a rooted system and then switching kernels won't help since the new kernel will verify the system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] GuestX0024:
I just really hope that we can get SuperSU on Nougat now that It has began to roll out today on my AT&T Galaxy S7. I've captured the ota update for it but someone else has already posted them on the forums so I won't waste my time. Despite how beautiful Nougat looks, I'm gonna wait and stick with MM. Why? Root. I'm almost certain that once you've updated to Nougat, it won't let you flash back to MM because of the locked bootloader, and for me personally, I want to keep root so bad because of the Viper4Android equalizer. The thing gives great sound quality and music wouldn't be the same without it. Honestly, If you really wanted to keep root then my advice is to stick with MM and wait (as long as it may take) for a working root method to come out for this new update.

Cheers!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] thescorpion420:
You can downgrade back to MM. Both the updates are on bootloader v4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] FilthyFord:
Which V4A version are you using. I can't find one that works with my phone. I'm on APK1 stock rooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] GuestX0024:
I simply downloaded and am currently using the latest update from the developers website. Be sure to download the latest version of the app listed under "Viper4Android FX" and make sure BusyBox is properly installed on your device under /system/xbin or /system/bin. I was previously on APJ4 and just upgraded to APK1 today and haven't noticed any problems.

I am mad at samsung and myself because accidentally clicked the annoying update reminder. so it updated to the 60% battery cap and annoying recall pop up message.

Is there anything to reverse this? root or something?? or at least anything to get rid of the annoying recall pop up message??

Sorry if this is the wrong section.

Was this the original or 2nd version with green battery...was just curious
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] rcobourn:
Even if you root it I'm hearing you can only get back to 80%. Not sure how that could be. Even if you could get back to 100%, that only buys you until they block the IMEI. I got an S7E and it'll do fine until S8+ or something comes along.

They are not blocking imei in the US. It's very easy to get back to 100% now
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] OkayGK:
no IMEI blocking and its very easy to get 100% as mention. I don't know why people just dont search. The useful threads are right at the top as well.

If you chose to keep the phone you have a responsibility to keep it working. Spend some times on the forum OP and learn.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] marc.ientilucci:
Hi all,

I recently rooted my Pixel and was plagued by the 15% battery issue. I found in the Pixel XL forum to fix it i should flash boot_a boot.img but that erased all my data.

I figured I'd start fresh and looked up a few websites who had instructions (androidcentral being one of them) and it seems like any other google phone, except i started getting FAILED to flash. so i ended up doing the following and now my device is encrypted.

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-img

fastboot reboot bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio-img

fastboot reboot bootloader

fastboot flash boot_a boot.img

fastboot flash system_a system.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot flash vendor_a vendor.img

fastboot format userdata (have to do this in order to get phone to read as 128GB)

---

so now when i boot up, it goes through the setup but it's encrypted.

I guess my question is, with the way Pixel's will be handling updates, what are all of the extra .img files from the factory image and should i be flashing them in a particular order?

here are the contents:

aboot.img

apdp.img

boot.img

bootlocker.img

cmnlib32.img

cmnlib64.img

devcfg.img

hosd.img

hyp.img

keymaster.img

modem.img

pmic.img

rpm.img

system_other.img

system.img

tz.img

userdata.img

vendor.img

xbl.img

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] marc.ientilucci:
EDIT #1: I just locked and then unlocked the bootloader to see if that allows me to setup as unencrypted. It's taking a while to boot so I doubt it.

EDIT #2: Still encrypted after set up.

Wellp... i wonder what flashing these after the initial order above will do...

EDOT#3:

lock / unlock botloader

fastboot flash system_a system.img

fastboot flash system_b system_other.img

... still encrypted, it booted up a bit quicker (or maybe i'm going nuts)

EDIT #4:

lock / unlock botloader

fastboot flash system_a system.img

fastboot flash system_b system_other.img

fastboot flash keymaster_a keymaster.img

andddd.... still encrypted... can anyone help out? :(
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] marc.ientilucci:
