[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] farfromovin:
Title says it all. I have a 7.1.2 (beta) Pixel on VZW with a locked bootloader. I'd like to go back to 7.1.1 public static le release. I unenroll from the beta program and I haven't got an OTA to go back. It's been over 24hrs.

I know Google will eventually fix their OTA beta system, but in the meantime can't I do this manually?

I tried to side load the 7.1.1 OTA from Google via ADB and it gave me an error about being older than the version currently on the device. Is there a file I can modify in the OTA.zip to get around that or am I stuck as long as my bootloader is locked?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
You're stuck for now. Don't modify anything that might brick the device since you can't recover with a locked bl. Just wait for the public release to be sent to the device. Why do you want to go back to 7.1.1?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] farfromovin:
Ok thanks. I didn't notice anything new with 7.1.2 other than a couple little bugs. I had some graphical tearing on the status bar initially and then wifi advanced settings continuously crashes if you try to open it. Personally, I like 7.1.1 better than the first beta 7.1.2.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] FernBch:
Since the update to 7.1.1 any possibility to downgrade is blocked. Verizon pushed the update to block any method that allows bootloader unlock. If you were locked and took the OTA you are permanently locked. Although anything is possible do not hold out for a new exploit to be found. I have never seen a new method found to unlock a device that has had the exploit patched.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @pulkit:
Hello there,

I am thinking of purchasing a new Nexus 6P. I just want a phone with a bigger screen, great camera and sound and especially a great development support that can last for around the next 4 years..

Can anyone help me in knowing the battery life and the overall experience of using a Nexus 6P..

Price is USD 460 (Brand new)

Would be of great help..!

Thanks,

A fellow Android user.

PS - My main reason of considering a N6P is a great community support.

If you wish, you can recommend me any phone running Pure Android , that would be worth the purchase.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eric214:
It is a great phone, but I though I've heard that a new 6P could be had for around $350 or so. $460 is very close to what it was at launch. but even still at what the Pixel and they new S8 and G6 will cost, that will still be a a very good price comparatively speaking. I personally wouldn't pay more then say $350-$400 for one now at almost 18 months old.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pebbledog:
Worth it

I just bought a used Nexus 6p to replace a failing Moto X Pure Edition (2015) and I am extremely pleased with it so far. For longevity it's very hard to tell when you're talking about 4 years out but there is very little out there with the pure experience that is going to match the support the 6p will have. Battery life has been acceptable though not amazing. Charges very fast so that helps offset. Standby time has been excellent though screen on time is what really drains it. The camera takes great photos though the HDR+ processing is slower than I thought it would be (as is processing of the Blur effect when used).

The experience has been the best of any phone I've used. Everything is snappy and I don't get occasionaly slowdowns I used to get on every other phone I've used (Moto X, Note 4, HTC One, G2, S4). It's a bit heavier than I like and I keep a case on it because it is a bit slick with nothing on it but otherwise comfortable. I love finally having a phone with a fingerprint sensor and this one works great. I never have issues with it. Connectivity has been great with Wifi, 4G, bluetooth and GPS. No issues with any. Speakers are very good. Very similar quality to my Moto X Pure. Nice and loud and front facing.

I wish the camera sensor was a 16:9 ratio since I prefer taking all my photos that way. When you crop down to 16:9 on the 6p you're down to 8.3Mp which is a bit low for preserving detail. If you prefer 4:3 you won't have any complaints.

I run mine stock, rooted with google assistant enabled and my only complaint is that the stock launcher won't let you change the home screen grid size. I normally use Nova Launcher but I'm liking using the new icon quick shortcuts in Nougat (similar to the force touch actions on the iphone). Nova does this also but for some reason it doesn't work on the 6p (might have something to do with changing the model to a Pixel to enable google assistant).

By the way, I picked mine up used for $310 (64Gb).
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob52r:
read about the battery and boot loop issues. the 6p has issues. either the batteries are sub-par or there are software issues. many people have significant problems. hauwei will repair, but we have no real idea what is wrong and if there

if a real fix coming in the future.

i will be receiving a free placement from google--my phone was purchased from google. i will buy extra batteries planning on getting 6 to 12 months on a battery. if i was buying new now, i am not sure what i would do. i personally loved my 6p when it was working well. now that is shuts off early without warning, it is problematic.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
I love my 6P but if I could do it over I would probably spend the money on a different phone. I feel like the 6P is a time bomb with the boot loop of death and battery issues. Some people can't even get replacements for their RMA'd phones since the 6P is no longer being made or they are getting back badly dinged up ones that show significant signs of use and abuse. There are serious issues with this phone. Google blames the hardware and Huawei blames Google. If you get 4 years out of one of these it will probably be a miracle.

[Samsung Gear S3] Sword Fish:
Are you saying if I install this version without CSC file that it will create*a new CSC? Also, what do you mean by "Limited Functionality"?*Does the watch not function the same after loading this*firmware? Can I install Samsung Pay if I install this?
[Samsung Gear S3] se47:
Samsung Pay preinstalled in each version, in addition to this course.

CSC region is determined by the watch on the MNC code that is connected to the phone at the time of initialization.

Put USA or Singapore SIM + VPN + Fake GPS does not bring any results.
[Samsung Gear S3] gpmg762:
So flash this on a korean import and initialize it with a phone on Singapore network will update the CSC and enable Spay?
[Samsung Gear S3] Arawac:

rootfs.img contains su in bin folder:

So it is rooted. :good:

This Firmware is very interesting also for Mobile Z-series...

Like SM-Z130H, Z3, Z2 etc...

As Combination Files are most not free available... :o

I have not much Gear expirience nor Gear Watch in my Hands...

So no idea if allready Root solution exists... for Gear S3

Rooting for Z-series was very easy... valid su file/binary inject into rootfs.img... :D

[Samsung Gear S3] jamesst20:
Do you mean it would be possible to install Android Wear 2.0?

I am not sure to understand the meaning of 'Combination Firmware'
[Samsung Gear S3] tids2k:
As the firmware is already rooted its possible to run elevates commands and install custom recovery.
[Samsung Gear S3] 10urshin:
I don't know much about rom development so please don't mind my ignorance but wouldn't we need an android wear kernel for Exynos 7270 to run it on gear s3?
[Samsung Gear S3] tids2k:
That is correct.
[Samsung Gear S3] 10urshin:
In your previous post you sounded like rooting is enough to get AW installed so I thought I should ask. I was hoping you would say no tho. I really would like to see android on this watch. Seems it's not gonna happen soon.
[Samsung Gear S3] tids2k:
Porting android is not hard if we have the right tools and the right information. Having root just opens up the possibilty for the developers to port. As you can see in the other forums the devs are working on getting a root on APK7 firmware, if succesful we can then look at other possibilities of installing a custom recovery or porting it from previous gear builds. Hope this helps.
[Samsung Gear S3] klau1:

Hello Guys!

I'm experiencing a problem in order to connect my Gear S3 wirelessly to recovery its ROM, because it's stucked on the initialization screen and the command to recovery didn't work.

I've followed the steps to enable the AP mode in Gear, but when I select the network with the name "SM-R760-8469" on the PC the connection doesn't seem to have been established, although Gear indicates an IP and MAC address followed by the message "Connection Fail: Connection Time Out (110) ".

After that I opened Odin, but there is no indication of the IP number, confirming that the connection has not been established.

Could someone tell me some corrective action for this problem?

Thanks in advance.

have a chance to create a thread, let's share our experiences with the LineageOS 14 Nightlies here :o

Latest LineageOS 14 Nightlies

https://download.lineageos.org/d2att
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yoshkapundrick:
i am just a novice but.......I did a clean install of the 1/23 rom with the mini gapps and everything went well as expected. Wifi, calls/data, bluetooth, battery life, camera all work perfectly for my limited needs.

The only hiccup I had was in doing the the 1/30 update. When doing the update using settings, Lineage will download the update and boot to TWRP, but will not automatically install the update. Easy enough though, as I performed the update manually.

I can't complain. I have a five year old device with up to date software and security patch. All I can say is thanks to these amazing developers.

Automatic syncing of date and time with network does not work all the time on 2017-02-13 nightly.

If you set the date and time to use network provided time (Settings\Date & Time\Automated date & time) it uses the correct time for a while but then switches to some random time.

I had to turn off the automatic settings and set the date and time manually.

This is still problematic int the 2017-02-27 nightly. At least on my device, it's a time zone issue. That is, the automatic time zone setting isn't working. So, the minutes are right, but the device shows GMT instead of CST/CDT.

Everything else seems to be working, and I find Lineage OS a bit "snappier" than Oct-OS - probably because of the absence of add-ons. But, hey, it's a 4.5-year-old phone.
