But its possible, that some lock their Bootloader after they are rooted.

You still get OTA updates with as unlocked bootloader. If you're rooted you won't but with just an unlocked bootloader you still get them
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shadow of Destiny:
My post was just in case, and I didnt recommend to lock the bootloader anyway (but there is no real reason).

Still thanks for pointing that out.

As I heard from some reports, the update will crash.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aholeinthewor1d:
Those reports are incorrect. Those people had to either have root, TWRP, or custom kernel. It's been discussed multiple times in tons of threads. If you simply unlock but you are 100% stock then you will still receive OTA updates and they install just fine. I've done all the updates OTA and I have a Verizon pixel with unlocked bootloader
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shadow of Destiny:
I will update the post. Thank you.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cam30era:
Incorrect. If one is 100% stock, with just bootloader unlocked then OTA works just fine.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shadow of Destiny:
I can only refer to the posts that the people have made (not sure if they are correct, and I just wanted to mention it in my thread, because this wont hurt anyone anyway)

If you're going to develop some expertise, it's better to experiment yourself, rather than relying on hearsay.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shadow of Destiny:
Alright, thank you.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Swamphound:
It worked well and thank you so much. I did have to reinstall TWRP and root with latest SuperSU but it was no trouble at all. It's great to know we can update monthly so easily.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shadow of Destiny:
Thank you very much for the report.

I have an unlocked and rooted VZW pixel. I checked updates in about phone and the OTA is available. If I just let it update like this will I lose TWRP and root? On the road and don't want to lose it right now.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
It won't update with root. You need to flash it.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shadow of Destiny:
The update breaks itself, so it will stop at some moment.

So you will have to flash it, and you will lose twrp with my first method. With the second method nothing will be overwritten, it just installs it like an OTA Update.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] airmaxx23:
You'll lose TWRP and root when sideloading the OTA.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shadow of Destiny:
Have you lost? I havent.

Gesendet von meinem Pixel XL mit Tapatalk
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] airmaxx23:
Yup, I sideloaded the OTA through TWRP, afterward TWRP, SU and Elemental X had to be reinstalled.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shadow of Destiny:
Okay, I have installed the .zip directly in TWRP, not sideloaded. It worked without reinstalling (as of me)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] h9290:
I've read the thread and previous posts. The expectation is that the OTA for January should be fine to install as long as you're only unlocked with no extra modifications.

In my case, i only unlocked the phone as soon as i got it (after the first boot so it can update) to avoid a wipe when doing so in the future. Although i got the 49mb OTA update showing, it still gives a message "Couldn't download"
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shadow of Destiny:
Wierd, but okay. You should by able to follow my thread, and everything should update fine.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mac796:
So are you saying you flashed the OTA zip with TWRP and didn't lose root? Or did I read this wrong
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shadow of Destiny:
Youre correct. Thats what I encountered.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mac796:
Cool I'll have to try it next time. So you just went into TWRP click install and OTA full image. ? And don't lose data?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shadow of Destiny:
Yes.

You just have to refalsh TWRP again, and boot into OS.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] njinstantkarma:
Cool I'll have to try it next time. So you just went into TWRP click install and OTA full image. ? And don't lose data?

Yes.

You just have to refalsh TWRP again, and boot into OS.

So just go into TWRP install marlin-ota-nmf26v-7bda3acb.zip then install TWRP RC1 immediately after the OTA Zip. Or Do I need to install TWRP RC1 thru fastboot and then install TWRP again in TWRP like the first time I installed TWRP.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shadow of Destiny:
Yup

And if you end up in a bootloop to TWRP, just flash SuperSu and boot.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bigsnack:
Does this work on O? Side note, can I just have root without TWRP/recovery if I am just bootloader unlocked? If so, I take OTA wouldn't work unless I do this?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] fiverings:
Just noticed that your looking at old news from January. Go to the thread on this called Guide to installing twrp & super su systemlessly by Grooven Chip. It has updated information for pixel & Pixel xl
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Born<ICs:
.

? His guide still refers to Modded TWRP. While it works, TWRP img & zip have since been updated. I haven't used them yet so not sure if they are the way to go now.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] fiverings:
If your trying to root a pixel or pixel XL , go get the new updated twrp files from team win site and download the 2 files from 10/6 , then get super su sr5 and suhide 109 and follow directions to install.

Twrp will stick and after you install su & suhide, go to suhide block appropriate files and then go to apps and clear cache & data from play store app and cache from play services. And you will be rooted & certified. Forgot this part, after you installed su, boot and check if your rooted, then open twrp and flash suhide. If you need to know the settings in suhide, let me know.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Born<ICs:
.

Sure, post suhide settings, tks

I'm already rooted after taking sept ota. Used modded twrp and SR3, no suhide. So on stock recovery. Considering redoing so I have TWRP and maybe suhide. Haven't yet tried flashing ota via Flashfire.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bigsnack:
I am root without twrp and have installed suhide. So, when November's OTA comes up I just use suhide and I should get the ota?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] fiverings:
You should install the twrp modded Fastboot 10/6 update and you need to enter passcode when it boots. Install as read only. Then flash twrp installer from 10/6 that should be in you phone. Then boot into system and boot into twrp as normal. Install su the sr5 one from 9/25 I think boot into system and check for root. Then boot back into twrp and flash suhide 109 from I think 9/25. Boot into system and open suhide. On some of the apps will turn red when you make another one red. Google backup transport -Red, Google play services -Red, Google play store -Red, Google services framework -Red.

Suhide -Blue, super su -Blue, super su pro -Blue.

Then go to settings, apps, then play store clear cache & Data, then Google play services - clear cache. Now check safety net to see if you passed, then go to play store and settings and you should be certified. That should do it. Good luck
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ithehappy:
I don't think so, once you're rooted you can't install ota updates, but I'm not sure really. You can simply sideload the full ota image anyway, no big deal.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Born<ICs:

Thanks. Suhide usage still fuzzy to me.

Reading Chainfire post turned fuzzy to blur. ?

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bigsnack:
I thought the whole point with root without twrp was the ability to get OTA as recovery was untouched.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nochis:
With latest TWRP you can flash full OTA of Oreo.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bigsnack:
The modded one?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nochis:
Official one.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bigsnack:
Do you have a link to a post that talks about it?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nochis:
On main TWRP tread mention about OTA zip. I have been doing since they started supporting. If you try it at your own risk. I haven't had any issues. Sometimes I do a clean flash.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bigsnack:
I really don't need twrp as stock rom is close to perfect, all I need really is root for dual speaker mod, which I am finding isn't as good as the videos show. :-/
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nlhaines12:
I'm selling my pixel xl. Once I've followed method 1 (without modifying flash-all.bat) to wipe/update the device, is it at all risky to lock the bootloader? I'd imagine the person buying would prefer the locked bootloader, but if I'm risking bricking it I'd rather not.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Zehlek:
I am on 8.1 dp2. I have stock recovery and stock ROM but I am rooted with Magisk. Will that affect ota? If so can I unroot ?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Sanefc:
Worked great!

i just finished doing this process. I have the Mexico variant XT1710-06, installed this ROM following the steps you mentioned and it works just fine. I even installed another stock ROM, with the November 1st patch... again... worked fine. THANK YOU!

The only problem I m having is that i unlocked the bootloader and now i cant re-lock it. For some reason i thought unlocking the bootloader was necesary. Do you know if its posible to fix

Can you explain me, what S2AEndKey does?

I expected, that it makes that the red phone button has no function while S2U2 is running.

I tried it with holding the button. Usually this should disconnect the GPRS connection. It doesn't matter, what value it has (1 or 0) but the button disconntects GPRS all the time.

Has the S2AEndKey an other function or did something went wrong?

Anyway this is a nice update. THX!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] remlle:
Amazing.

wonderful changes and awesome program. can I donate bandwith or anything to the development to this? Ihave a few servers at data centers all over th us. let me know.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Thyraz:
Damn, what a great Release :)

If I want to use png clock files.

How should they be named? same name as jpg?

What files do S2U2 prefer if .jpg and .png is in the folder?

edit, ok they are already png files :p

stupid me...

my device hangs whenever I run the app or the settings. I get a black screen, then when I power the device off then back on, I get the proper image (whether it be s2u2 or the settings) but there is no response to screen taps or hardware buttons. I had the previous version of s2u2 working perfectly and uninstalled it prior to the new installation, I also soft reseted. im using a sprint vogue btw
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rootwind:
Also getting the problem on the HTC (Sprint) Mogul. It looks like it's hanging, but I can still slide it (just the animation never changes).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] remlle:
its a problemwith direct Draw I had the same issue. simply uninstall it. remove the directory. remove the registry enteries and reinstall and dont turn on direct draw.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rootwind:
I just turned off the directdraw in the registry and restarted ilock2, works again. Guess direct draw is enabled by default this time.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ghost13:
I second that... that would be an awesome idea!!!:eek: :D :eek:

Check my post again, just updated with a link to wallpaper.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lohanchien:
Open lang.ini in notepad and you can change the folders in there. Look through the lines and you will find where you can change it.

Change this line... it is towards the bottom of the file

s_DefaultWallpaper4=\Storage Card\My Pictures\

with this one...

s_DefaultWallpaper4=\S2U2\WallpaperPortrait\ (keep in mind you used the wrong slash... use \ not /

for landscape mode simply change

s_DefaultWallpaperL4=\Storage Card\My Pictures\

with this...

s_DefaultWallpaperL4=\S2U2\WallpaperLandscape\

It is important to add the last slash after the folder name (eg. WallpaperPortrait\) as you will get a blank screen if you don't

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dnoyeb:
gazing through the thread, i'm not seeing anyone with my same issue... I am running a PPC6800. If I try to hit the S2U2 Settings, it just goes to a black screen. also, when I power off the unit and come back up, S2U2 works, but the slider doesn't work... I slide my finger across and it'll unlock, but it doesn't actually slide anymore.

Worked fine on all versions that i've tried up till now (.85 was the highest I got).

Edit: Looks like by turning off direct draw I was able to fix the slider part... however the settings app still doesn't work anymore. weird. guess i'll edit in registry instead for now.

PIE breaking s2u2?

maybe i'm a dunce, but if i have internet explorer running, S2U2 doesn't work at all. if i completely exit PIE, then S2U2 works as it should.

any ideas what could be wrong?

edit: Sprint HTC Vogue (Touch)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] remlle:
Must not have read very much. everyone wiht HTC phones experience this. it is an issue with Direct Draw. it needs to be disabled. go to the registery and change the setting to a 0. the tag can be found in

hkey_local_machine/software/A_C/S2u2/DirectDraw

change this to 0 start then stop the phone or hit the ilock.exe. and then restart lock
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lohanchien:
S2U2 has a built in Exception for explorer and a few other apps. That way your phone won't lock when you are browsing and doing other things.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I may be wrong, but I believe that is one of the exemptions A_C wrote into the app. If it is, you may need to go into a reg editor, and make that (I think it is first) exception blank.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ganja420farmer:
IE is in the exception list. Edit the reg if you don't want it.

Thanks for your update, A_C. Actually I've found 1 problem while I'm using this version of S2U2. The weather icon graphics does not comes up after I've enabled the weather function of S2U2 with the HTC weather. Only the highest and lowest temperature is showing up, but not the graphic icons, would that because my HTC Home is in Chinese version??any idea how to fix that??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] naiserie:

thanks to everyone who posted the fix, works fine now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dnoyeb:
one other thing I found strange is that in the registry I don't have the ShowWeather key. Added it and now I get a N/A on the front screen... seems something isn't in order. going to try full uninstall again and make sure the registry gets cleaned as well.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dnoyeb:
uninstalled, soft reset, went into registry and removed the s2u2 values, soft reset, installed.

Settings are working fine now.

Must of been some left over S2U2 registry key or something....

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] spinedoc:
Program rocks, I love it.

But 2 HUGE HUGE problems that have not been addressed yet, well at least not 100% successfully. I'm running .99p on a Sprint Touch.

1) Still getting missed calls sometimes, phone does not ring or wake up. Next time I deactivate S2U2 the phone rings with a call that could have been hours ago. Weird.

2) Incoming call waiting is really really bad. I'll get the answer/end/or answer and hang up current call. If I hit the answer and end current call I will miss the incoming call, it seems to delay it for a long time, enough to miss the call.

Today after having missed some incoming calls it started to do the no ring when asleep thing, so I'm wondering if those are related. I just can't keep missing important calls.

Thanks much, hope there is a resolution to these.

How much memory do you have available? I had these problems to the point I turned off the caller ID function until I redid my PPC, and now I have enough memory to allow smooth caller ID functionallity. A_C in the beginning suggested 15 Mb free I now have 16.8 internal memory and 33 Program.

May not work, but if you can free up that much, it may!!

I read this thread for 3 hours and I'm sorry, I'm exhausted, so I'll just ask...

Has anybody cared yet to create something for S2U2 which matches the default WM6 theme?

There are some HTC gray ones, but I didn't spot a single green-blue-ish (=Emerald?) one.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aikidoka-mks:
The only problem I have on my Sprint Touch is the unread sms count being wrong. I had s2u2 running once when I got an sms and it hasnt cleared that one. It worked fine for email though, cleared that count just fine but the sms still shows that one message.

*I tried the instructions for reseting the count, didnt work for me

I still love the program, meets a need I had very well.

Just to say thank you

Hi A_C,

I have been using your programme, and I really love it, absolutely indispensable with Kaiser. Unfortunately, at present I have no way of donating for your great work (being from Kosovo), but hoping to sort that out in future, at which time definitely should be able buy you a beer or two, or better yet, the whole pack.

I was wondering if there was a way to just make the slider on the existing HTC screen, so that one could use other programmes in conjunction with it, such as SPB shell or pocket plus, some cool clocks there, too.

Anyway, great work and thanks a lot.

full screen answer cab?

Hey there,

Just like to thank you first off for an amazing program, must've taken alotta time to complete.

1 question, have you designed a cab to have only the full screen answer working without the slide to unloock? I prefer to use the regular lock device program (because I drive alot and it's easier to use with one hand) but I really love the full screen answer option.

Is there anyway to have the full screen answer working on it's own?

Thanks
