[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] aholeinthewor1d:
Thanks for the reply! I've unlocked bootloader already but haven't rooted or anything yet. Been busy so I need some time to read through the Pixel forums more. I do remember seeing mention of something with the partitions on the Pixel causing issues with TWRP. Do you have a link by any chance or something that explains what is going on with it and how the partitions are different? Just want to read up on it. Been with my s5 for soooo long so coming to a new device basically means starting over and learning lots of new stuff. Software versions, unlocking, rooting, etc
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] FernBch:
I bought my Verizon Pixel yesterday. Unlocked in 20 seconds and within a few minutes TWRP 3.0.2-0 for sailfish is installed and SuperSU 2.78-SR5 has been flashed. Works perfect.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Nateg900t:
I feel your pain! I'm also coming from the S5 for 2.5 years. Had everything (almost) perfect with systemless root, twrp, xposed, adaway, etc. (but no Android Pay) . Now with this Pixel and Verizon-depixel8 unlocked bootloader, I'm trying to piece together the best plan for having the most stuff working.

So far, bootloader unlocked, and I flashed the full 7.1.1 images from Google. Then I tried using the setup wizard and it brought over my account info and wifi passwords and such from my S5 by directly connecting the phones, and it downloaded my apps from google play, but I need app-data.

So, now I'm thinking this would be the process if you want to have a rooted pixel, and be able to reboot into a "clean" boot for Android Pay?:

1) boot TWRP alpha2 (since RC1 having problem rooting?)

2) install TWRP alpha2 zip

3) install stock-safetynet kernal to boot_a

4) boot into boot_a

5) setup Android pay, add credit cards, etc.

6) boot into TWRP and install root with SR5 to boot_b

7) boot into boot_b and restore other app backups with Titanium Backup, install Adaway/hosts

8) no Xprivacy /Xposed available yet, right? :(

9) restore backed up apps from old phone with Titanium Backup (from cloud, etc.)
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobhinkle:
I have one question with this, I have a Verizon pixel with unlocked bootloader. I just wanted to make sure I can flash the Google image and still use on Verizon. Will I lose any features like the advanced calling stuff?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Aali1011:
Yes you can still use it on Verizon. Advanced Calling is a feature i am not too familiar with. Is that HD Calling? If so then yes that will work as well works on my phone without issue.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobhinkle:
So from here I can flash Google's bootloader and Google image and then when updates come out just use the Google ones
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] donslade:
Question for those with a Play store version of the Pixel: what is your bootloader version on the 7.1.1 software?

For reference my Verizon store Pixel has BL version 8996-12001-1610061102.

Thanks in advance!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] huckdogg:
[EDIT] I just realized this is incorrect, because you can't be rooted and use Android Pay. I was misunderstanding what the custom kernels allow by removing SafetyNet. Excuse my ignorance.[/EDIT]

There are some custom kernels that you can flash that remove the security check for Android Pay. Flash one of those and you should be golden. There is a stock kernel with the security check removed here:

http://xdaforums.com/pixel/development/kernel-stock-kernel-safetynet-patch-t3515692

franco and ElementalX have it removed, also.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] RLShiftyDoggit:
Hey guys just unlocked my pixels BL so if I take Verizon's ota will it relock my bootloader I'm assuming it won't

Also should I take vzw's ota to 7.1.1 or should I go get Google's?

And if anyone can point me to twrp and root that would be awesome sorry guys its a lil confusing with the pixel threads I'm coming from a droid turbo lol
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobhinkle:
Took the OTA withy bl unlocked and it's still unlocked
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] pritchfest:
After unlocking the BL I used "flash-all" to flash the BL, radio, and image (zip) for update nmf26q (Android 7.1.1).

The BL and radio updated just fine, but i get an error from android sdk when it moves on to flashing the zipped image file (image-sailfish-nmf26q.zip).

Here is the message:

"error: failed to load 'image-sailfish-nmf26q.zip': Not enough space

Press any key to exit..."

anyone else get this problem? I can also opt for the OTA update, but will that update have any strings tied to Verizon? I want Verizon off my phone.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] iainaaldrich:
Flash it manually through adb

This will resolve the error
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] CardinS2U:
How did u do this ? I want to do the ssme
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] phamine:
Anyone know this answer? If you let the OTA update, is it from Verizon or Google?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
You get that error from using the wrong Fastboot version. You are using Minimal. Use Google's

https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html

Or if you are unmodified other than unlocking you can take the OTA.

---------- Post added at 02:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 AM ----------

There is no difference in the full factory image or the OTA... Verizon and Google are exactly the same software. So OTA or flash away.

Best Root Apps for the Honor 8​

For those of you with rooted Honor 8s, what are some of the best root apps you're using? Here's a small collection that I'd recommend checking out.

Root Browser

The default file explorer on the Honor 8 wont be able to explore the root sections of your phone. So if you plan on modifying any files in your root directories, grab the Root Browser.

Root Browser is the ultimate file manager for rooted users. Explore all of Android's file systems and take control of your Android device.

Download Root Browser

System app remover (ROOT)

There might be a few system apps that you want to get rid of once you've rooted your Honor 8. If that's the case, this is my favorite app to do this. It's fast and to the point. For me, I can do without the weather, smart controller, compass and backup apps.

Download System app remover

Substratum theme engine ★ root

The substratum theme engine is a growing collection of some amazing themes for your phone. Replace the default EMUI theme catalog with Substratum.

Download Substratum theme engine
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] iaa85:
Emui is compatible with substratum?

Iaa85 from Brazil with Honor 8
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] carlsverdrup:
Does anyone know of a list of which stock apps can, might and should not be removed from the Honor 8?
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mertak:
Currently am working on a list of all applications that can be safely removed.
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sommerrain:
i personally use xplore instead of root explorer, but it's a matter of taste i think.

and if you only want to freeze apps, than you can use titanium backup (too).

Unfortunalety, the linked System App Remover have no option to freeze apps.

i'm very interested of this list, because i like my phones clean :D
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gopinaidu77:
You should have tried link2sd ..
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jkccl9:
anyone else tried substratum?
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gopinaidu77:
Substratum will only work in ROMs with OMS commits.
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jkccl9:
Ok
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gopinaidu77:
It will bootloop without those commits. :)
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jkccl9:
Yh not gonna touch that
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gopinaidu77:
If u try , u need to wipe data or remove subtratum app from /data/app/ ..
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jkccl9:
CBA bootloops
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gopinaidu77:
CBA?
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jkccl9:
Too much effort to backup and restore stuff if I boot loop or mess something up
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gopinaidu77:
But it will save u alot of time when u are stuck in bootloop
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jkccl9:
The I know but it takes time to move everything to a PC as I don't have a lot of space on my SD card, so I'm not gonna try substratum
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gopinaidu77:
Great decision.
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jkccl9:
:good:
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZellZoy:
So, you've got one app that's great for every rooted phone but is far from the best root browser, one app that's great for every rooted phone but not needed on the Honor 8 because most of the bloat can be uninstalled normally, and one app that doesn't work on the Honor 8 at all. Great thread you have here.
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jkccl9:
Savage ?
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gopinaidu77:
But Es file explorer is great and is a mixture of many tools
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZellZoy:
ES File explorer used to be great. Now it's full of adware and last I heard has privacy issues as well. I"m using FX File explorer instead now.
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gopinaidu77:
Yeah !! But I bought Es pro app . now it really cool
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZellZoy:
Pro has same issues I think. Check if there are updates in play store, if there are and your app is still good don't take them.
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gopinaidu77:
Yes it's good . am using it since years ! And it gets updates every month most probably .

My setup on Rooted FRD-L04

Adaway For getting rid of pretty much all pesky ads.

I have xposed installer but havent really found any good modules yet... The youtube ad blocker one is neat.

I bought two apps that have withstood the test of time long ago when I had my Galaxy S3 i9300... File Manager Pro and Nova Launcher Pro. They are lightweight compared to most of their counterparts, are fully functional, and keep adding neat features. Also Juice SSH.

Emoji switcher (root) is neat for changing your systems emoji style and you can just delete the app after you switch.

And for people that enjoy watching their network I really like CSploit

I use the Blackberry Keyboard (so good!)

I've deleted the stock versions of those apps, and made them all system apps. A lot better in my opinion.

You can test it out by installing them, and testing them out. If they work, great, if not just uninstall them.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] m44nu33l:
Hello community, recently I did the procedure to get the lollipop version in my S4 active i537 keeping root, but after many searches I can't find how to upgrade to marshmallow or nougat version and I wondering why.

I think it have to be because at this moment doesn't exist any way to intall a custom recovery as TWRP or CWM, if this is true, why nobody found the way to unlock the bootloader yet? in order to manage the custom recovery.

And why is so difficult to unlock it?

Which are the differences between this s4 version with the others? And how can I help to unlock the bootloader, thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
I'm going to try to answer your questions one at a time:

There is not and never will be marshmallow or nougat for the i537. This is because it is outside the "2-year" update cycle of Samsung/AT&T. If you look at other phones from Samsung and AT&T, there are very rarely updates to phones 2 years after the initial release of the phone. There's not really a good reason for this other than Samsung and AT&T want you to buy a new phone to get the latest updates. In the past you would need to get a new phone in order to have new hardware that is able to run the latest version of Android. But we're now at a point that nearly any phone released in the last 2-3 years can run nougat with minor lag. Manufacturers and carriers are holding on to the 2-year upgrade cycle and forcing you to buy new phones in order to get updates.

The i537 has a locked bootloader while the i9295 does not have a locked bootloader. Nobody has figured out how to unlock the bootloader on any variant of the S4.

It's a very long read, but this thread explains exactly why it is so hard to unlock the bootloader. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2500826)

As I stated above the only difference between the two versions of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active (i537 vs i9295) is that the i537 has a locked bootloader and the i9295 does not. The i537 was sold exclusively through AT&T (US), Telcel (Mexico), and Claro (Uruguay), while the i9295 was sold internationally. Neither device will get official versions of marshmallow or nougat, but since the i9295 has an unlocked bootloader you can flash marshmallow and soon nougat custom ROMs. Other than the bootloader, the i537 and i9295 have identical hardware.

Honestly, unless you have a deep understanding of kernels, Linux, and cryptology, I'm not sure there's much help you can provide. The link I provided above explains all the effort that has been put into unlocking the bootloader. If you truly want to help I would read through that thread and see if there's anything meaningful you can provide.

Finally, if you don't ever want to have this problem again, always do your research and but a phone that has an unlockable bootloader. I purchased the i537 when it first came out only to find that the bootloader was locked and because of that I will never buy another phone with a locked bootloader again. Good luck.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] m44nu33l:
Thanks for the explanation, what I will do is change my S4 for the international version in order to get the nougat custom rom. :(
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] ovo dc:
well my questions has really been answered , i guess we are never going to get an update , best option is to get a new phone
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedSkies:
Hi all,

I'm a total noob here. Somehow I managed to unlock and root my ASUS TF300T successfully, even though the instructions I was referring to were sketchy. Unfortunately I started the process before finding the detailed instructions here on how to flash the ROM. So it looks like I misinterpreted the sketchy instructions and hosed up the process. I managed to get the Katkiss zip file on the internal SD of the tablet, but when I tried to install it, it failed.

I now know where I went wrong so I'm not sure if it's fixable now: Rather than wipe while in TWRP, I wiped from the main bootloader screen (RCK, Android, WIPE DATA). Idiotic noob mistake which I realize now, but too late.

Currently when I attempt to boot up using the power + down volume, my screen shows:

Key driver not found.. booting OS
Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "US-epad-10.6.1.27.5-20130902" A03

If I select RCK, I can get to TWRP, but it can't find a way to push the stock ROM file from ASUS from my PC back to the tablet. I tried using ADB push, but I get an error that it's not a valid command.

I can see the tablet in Device manager if I connect using the USB, but when I use the ADB devices command, nothing is returned - no error message, no device information.

Any thoughts on how whether it's possible to get back to the stock ROM? It shows

The Device is Unlocked.

on the ASUS splash screen but always boots to TWRP if I do not hold the down-volume button when starting up. I'm not sure if it's still rooted.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebonit:
I would like to advise you to get back on stock rom without any further experiments.

First of all the USB driver must be installed on your PC.

-Download “Minimal ADB and Fastboot”.

-Make a folder C:/Fastboot and extract it there and install it. Download the latest firmware V10.6.1.27.5 fitting to your device from the ASUS official website and unzip it twice.

-Copy the .blob file into the folder C:/Fastboot.

-Start “Minimal ADB and Fastboot” and put in "fastboot devices". The device should appear as "xxx device".

Now type in step by step (wait after every step!):

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase recovery

Fastboot erase user data

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase misc

fastboot erase cache.

After that put in "fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob" without " " .

Now it takes a while "sending..." appears then "write..." and the load status will be shown.

If loading is finished put in "fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot". It takes a while to start into a clean JB 4.2.2!

After that you are ready to flash Kang TWRP 2.8.7.2 again and make a clean install of a custom rom of your choice by taking care exactly of the instruction given by Timduru in each post #1 of each CR.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedSkies:
Thank you for your reply, ebonit. It looks like I have an older version of TWRP currently installed: v2.5.0.0. Is that a problem? If I'm going to flash TWRP again, should I definitely overwrite the current install with Kang TWRP 2.8.7.2?

Thanks again. I may have additional questions because I'm totally new to this and there's so much information out there. I appreciate your patience!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebonit:
For all MM 6.0.1 and N 7.1.0 versions you need Kang TWRP 2.8.7.2. That's mandatory as seen in each post #1.

If you get back on stock rom, you don't have any custom recovery remaining. There is nothing to overwrite. You must flash Kang TWRP anyway. After that you may flash any custom rom of your choice as clean install.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedSkies:
Thank you so much for your help. It looks like I'm back to the stock ROM. I will try flashing Katkiss later when I can give it my full attention and am less likely to make stupid errors!

I cannot stress this enough. MAKE AN NVFLASH BACKUP ASAP!!!! I bricked my device 2-3 years ago and had I made an NVFlash backup I could have recovered it.

I would be more than happy to make a payment donation for more detailed help.. thanks! Cindy

Install KANG TWRP Recovery

The first time or everytime you have an issue when dirty flashing (Especially when changing android versions):

do a

full wipe

, if you have issues make sure that you format /data (format is different than wipe)

Warning: formatting will remove what is stored in your internal storage, so store the rom /gapps/supersu zips onto an external storage (microSD, SD card..) or make sure you know how to push them back through adb.

Change /data filesystem to f2fs

Then everytime (even when "dirty flashing") do the following steps:

Flash the rom

Flash the SuperSU zip

Flash gapps

Wipe cache/dalvik

Reboot
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebonit:
What do you want? Every information you need is written in your post. Any further questions you may have will be find an answer somewhere in the forum.

Kang TWRP is the most important tool. It will do the job. Do you have it?

If not, look here http://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf300t/development/recovery-twrp-t3046479. There is the install instruction as well.

If yes, then start into recovery and and realize step by step what you found in post #1 and is written down by yourself in your post itself.
