[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
I've been in deep thought on whether to get the Pixel or the Pixel XL. I've anyways had my mind set on the XL as I'm used to larger phones lately, but the 5" screen is nothing tiny. I've read a number of reviews who state the Pixel is more comfortable to hold and they prefer the feel of it. Have any of you who own the XL ever wish you got the smaller one instead? If so, is there a specific reason?

I'll admit, part of my reasoning for contemplating it is availability.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bush911:
I am using Pixel, and would not like to get a big one which makes difficult to carry daily
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fiffan86:
Nope,I had a n6 before this, and it (pixel xl) fits my hands perfectly. 5 in phones make my hands feel too cramped.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Archangel:
I am tired of phones that are bigger than 5 or 5.2,,,,I had the moto Z force and it was a great phone but it was still too big for me. I decided on the 5" Pixel and havent regretted it since.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] wtherrell:
Even the xl is a little too small for me. Prefer the N6 size. No way I could go smaller.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] spotmark:
I've had 5.5"+ phones going back to the LG G3, and wouldn't mind hitting 6", ala the Huawei Mate 9. 5" isn't even a consideration anymore. You can try to justify getting the Pixel just because it's available, but if you want the XL, you'll always wish you had waited for it.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ithehappy:
50-50. When I work I feel like I wish I had the smaller phone, because it's always in my hand but when I'm home I feel like XL is worth it. My eyes are probably done or something but the default scaling of XL even I find too small, and making the font or display area bigger makes it a little too big for my taste. But one thing is sure, coming from a Note 4, this phone is much easier to hold and operate with one hand, because it's much narrower. But if you want real freedom go with the normal version, like you said 5 inches is still a very good size for a mobile phone.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
My wife has a Pixel, and I have an XL. I tinker with the PIxel enough to know that I do not prefer it. The XL is not nearly as large as others in the same size group (the LG V20 comes to mind) wile the Pixel feels a little larger than I expected it to, also the XL fits fin in my pocket with Incipio case. Definitely the XL for me, but at the same time it is not even an option for my wife and here smaller hands.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ndhusmc:
The largest phone I had prior to my Pixel XL is the iPhone 6 and felt I could never go bigger, yet I honestly didn't feel it was much bigger in my hand once I switched. It wasn't until I laid my old phone on top of my Pixel XL that I truly notice how much bigger it was. The first case I had was the OtterBox Commuter and the ledges made it so easy to use the larger phone but since then I purchased the LifeProof Fre and this case has made it a bit harder to manage since I don't have the ledges to hold onto when stretching to the top corner.

Long story short, the benefits of higher DPI and better battery life makes the Pixel XL a clear winner in my book.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Ugh, that's what I was thinking... Hearing someone else say it confirms what I suspected... :(

However, I'm going to go to Verizon and play with both, just to see. My wife has an S7 and I kind of like the feel of it.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] yearn2burn:
The battery life sold me. Much smaller advantage for me is screen resolution for use with Daydream VR, though I haven't compared Pixel and Pixel XL side by side.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] machinist25:
I came from a Nexus 5 to a Nexus 6 to the Pixel XL. I think the XL is the perfect size. The right compromise between usability, legibility, and ease of use.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] milan187:
It's personal preference. I need to be able to use my device one handed all the time. The Pixel is good for that. I've had phone around 5.5 inch and prefer the smaller ones these days. I'm glad we can get high end specs in smaller phones now.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CannibalAngel:
So I was rooted and decided I wanted to go back to stock. Foolishly before doing anything I wiped my SDcard, deleting my TWRP backup. I went in to TWRP and wiped DATA and SYSTEM. Now I can not get my Kindle to boot. It just sits at the booting screen. I have tried to install several ROMs but nothing works. They all fail to install. I changed my build.prop to read as a Nexus 7 so that may be the issue but I can't find the build.prop file to edit it back. It's not in /system. KFU didn't help and I cant get the Unbrick tool to even run on my laptop (Windows 10). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CannibalAngel:
I'm not sure what you are trying to tell me here. I can see the Kindle in ADB. I can run ABD commands against the kindle. This is not an ADB or Driver issue. The issue is that I wiped the system and data partitions and now the Kindle has no OS and I can not get a new one installed.

adb commands are not going to fix it

EDIT: Thought I could get FFF installed via KFU. I could not. Guess I'll have to order a fastboot cable to fix it :(

Still not working. As soon as I plug the cable into the powered off Kindle, the Kindle turns on. I then plug the USB into the PC. It sits at that same screen.

I run adb devices and it sees it just fine. I run "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and is says "Waiting for device". I run "fastboot -i 0x1949 devices" and it returns a blank line. It may be a driver issue. I tried installing drivers from KFU but it fails every time. Any idea where I can get the drivers? I'm on Windows 10.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
driver signature enforcement needs to be turned off, to install drivers from KFU

if adb commands work, fastboot commands will not, and visa versa

they are mutually exclusive

M8, Stock - no signal - airplane mode constantly "Turning off" even w factory reset

So my friend has an M8 he asked me to look at and i'm a bit perplexed - it won't get a signal and if you go to settings airplane mode is constantly "turning off". factory reset no change.

Google no help (tried power cycle, different sim, sim in another phone (works ok), ##78# (does nothing)) - it's completely stock so I'm guessing the radio is just stuffed?

Same as this: https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/signal-airplane-mode-off-t3009604

He's leaving tomorrow and the phone is apparently out of warranty so what would you suggest I try?

edit: note - on the back it says Model: M8x

ok i unlocked the bootloader and installer supersu and was going to get s-off to try and reflash the radio but:

1. $25 for s-off for a most likely dead friends phone ain't happening

2. can't find any active links to radio .img's and not sure if it's taiwanese (m8x seems to indicate that) or what

working with HTC phones is worse than samsung!

so unless anyone has any bright ideas I guess it's a write-off?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
To rely on what is written at the back of the phone is not correct.

Post fastboot getvar all (delete serial & imei no.) then we'll know what device you have there.

Don't need S-Off (just yet) .. maybe flashing a htc signed signed firmware will fix the problem or if there is RUU for the device version is available, RUU is a better solution.

If both firmware & RUU unable to fix it, then it means the radio chip is fried.
[Redmi Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moshiachnow:
I was running Cyanogenmod on a Note 4G. For the past month, however, the battery was draining very quickly and the phone would shut off randomly, many times a day. I decided to roll back to MIUI. During the process, something happened to the internal memory, which went from 2/3 full to about 10% full. Recovery disappeared. I tried to use a couple of different MiFlash tools, but those didn't work (it showed it was flashing MIUI but the process went for 3 seconds and then it said it was done. I tried flashing recovery - that didn't work. Tried various methods of flashing a ROM (MiFlash, fastboot, ABD) and those didn't help.

[update] Boy do I feel like a dimwit. I was trying to flash the phone as if it was a Note 4G LTE when it was a Note 2. It's my wife's phone that is the 4G. After pulling out some my diminishing hair the light went on. I then flashed a recovery and now am installing MIUI using the recovery. Yay.

You're posting links to outdated versions of both TWRP and SuperSU. The latest versions and guides on how to install them already exist in their official threads.

If you want to be a help, try your hand at questions people are actually asking instead. XDA can always use another helpful expert.
[One (M9) General] ahmad.abbas54:
Really!! All those methods require a pc. My method is without pc

And Dont miss guide or lie and for your information both twrp and supersu is updated one

Talk before speak

Proofs are attached
[One (M9) General] computerslayer:
I'm sorry if I've offended you - that wasn't my intention. However, you are mistaken about me lying or misguiding others.

Go check out the official TWRP thread. The latest version is posted there - it's version 3.0.3-0.

Check out the official SuperSU thread. The latest version is posted there - it's version 2.79 SR1 (2016-12-22).

Both of these versions, by the way, are important because they address issues that are unique to the M9. Previous versions of TWRP couldn't decrypt HTC's stock encryption. Recent versions of SuperSU couldn't be flashed directly. I'm sure there are other general fixes included as well.

You've got a neat idea, and I commend you for it. But if you're not working with the latest software - and passing it off as the latest - you're adding to people's confusion rather than helping them.
[One (M9) General] ahmad.abbas54:
I am also sorry if i used some rude words

Still i had checked recently on twrp.me and there's only 3.0.2 for m9 and i am using it right now with supersu 2.79

I am not facing any problem at all in all matters and it is also much stable

You can still update according to your need as you can open up my provided zip and add recovery.img of your choice and also you can flash supersu of your choice
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
[MENTION=5898641]ahmad.abbas54[/MENTION]: What [MENTION=1950850]computerslayer[/MENTION] said is correct. There are numerous reports of users facing a bootloop after flashing any other SuperSU version than 2.64 (stable), 2.65 (stable) or the latest beta 2.79 SR1 (link to its thread) on their stock rom. However, flashing one of these three and updating SuperSU via the play store doesn't cause any problems. Therefore I'd ask you for not linking the stable version 2.79.

In regard to TWRP: 3.0.2-0 is working fine. However, it's not the recommended version since 3.0.3-0 (unofficial) is capable of installing HTC's official OTAs.
[One (M9) General] ahmad.abbas54:
Kindly elaborate me further about the super su zip which is stable in 2.64 2.79 ??

Btw I had given download link of version supersu 2.79 in my post
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
SuperSU changes parts of the ramdisk since the introduction of system-less root. However, the changes that get initiated by any other than the three versions I mentioned above are not compatible with the M9 and cause a bootloop. Updating via the play store only updates the app and its binaries but not the ramdisk changes. This way you could update to a newer version of supersu (before 2.79 sr1 got released) without facing a bootloop.

There are stable and beta releases of SuperSU. Both are different stages of a "software release cycle". (The " " mark the keyword you need to google for further information. At the moment I don't have the time for writing a more detailed post. Sorry.)

You linked the stable version of 2.79. The beta which is safe to use got released a week later than the version in your post and it contains "sr1" in its naming.

Edit: Oh and please don't re-upload files to your afh account that you don't own (e.g. SuperSU) unless you got the permission of the dedicated owner/dev. Your 0PJAIMG.zip should be fine as long as you mention TWRP's devs in the credits of your OP.
[One (M9) General] ahmad.abbas54:
Ok i will be carefull next time

Had anyone achieved root with my method before??

I mean without pc
[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
Well, no one ever posted explicit instructions but it should be known to be possible from Sneakyghost's firmware thread. His firmware packs can get flashed via the SD card method, as well, and your archive is somehow similar to his no wipe packs. The difference is that your archive only contains TWRP whereas his packs contain almost the full stock firmware and TWRP instead of the stock recovery.

Nevertheless, step by step instructions like to ones in this thread are always nice to have. ;)

(Although strictly speaking a PC is needed for your method, too, since you can't achieve S-OFF via Sunshine* without root on the M9 and for rooting the M9 the first time you need to unlock the bootloader which requires a PC. However, don't mind my nitpicking. :p)

* I have not much knowledge about how to use java cards for the same purpose but I think you need a PC for them, as well.
[One (M9) General] ahmad.abbas54:
Well thats for obvious that we need pc for atleast bootloader unlock
[One (M9) General] drenkin:
I'm trying this method to flash TWRP on my unlocked, S-Off m9. (Unlocked with SunShine, my Mac with new USB-C port doesn't see device over ADB) I've unzipped your TWRP package, replaced the old TWRP with the latest--renamed "recovery.img"--and re-zipped it. When I boot phone into Download mode, the script recognizes the zip package, and "start ui-update" appears at the top of the screen. Nothing else happens, and if I eventually force power off, the stock Recovery is still installed. Suggestions?

Hi guys.

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I've recently broken the screen of my Xperia (sucks) so I went into town and purchased about the only cheap decent phone available which just so happened to be network locked to boost/telstra (Australia).

Seems a soft network unlock option is available through third party websites but I figured why not try my hand at rooting the phone and loading a default android ROM onto it (I hope I have that terminology correct).

So the phone type is in the description and I cant seem to find anything that will help me out in rooting it.

Kingo/iRoot both seem to fail and I cant find a forum or really any information on this phone anywhere online.

I'm hoping someone may be able to help me out - ultimately the end goal is to remove the network lock and maybe if possible remove the bloatware.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
