[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nailyk:
Perfect. You are where I would bring you :)

For the next time: download your twrp, go into fastbootmode and fastboot boot twrp.img

It will download and boot into twrp.

Then you should be able to decrypt with twrp decrypt <your password>

Maybe <your password> need to be typed in hexa.

Exactly, use the same rom, flash your userdata reboot.

Now you have two way to get your data back. Good luck :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fivel_:
Great thanks!! :)

ok, done!

C:\Users\fivel\Documents\Android\platform-tools-latest-windows\platform-tools>fastboot boot twrp.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.748s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.114s]
finished. total time: 0.868s

ok, how do I perform this command?

twrp decrypt - in ADB, in Fastboot, else?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fivel_:
ok, one more step:

1. i got to adb in recovery mode again.

2. i startet a shell via adb shell

3. decrypt:

and now?

edit:

now I performed,

4. adb pull /dev/block/dm-0 /data.img

and it is running... we will see what is inside :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fivel_:
so, now I have the data.img on my pc.

do I first need it to transfer to the new phone, or can I just type:

fastboot flash userdata -S 512M data.img

thanks a lot for all your help [MENTION=6979267]nailyk[/MENTION]!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nailyk:
o0 Data successfully decrypted

So the data.img you catch is the full filesystem without encryption ;)

you can mount loop it in any linux

yes this will put your data (unencrypted it seems) into your old device

No pbm ;) Glad you solve it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fivel_:
hi!

I had not got the time to apply your advice to my phone... today I did.

when I type: fastboot flash userdata -S 512M e:mypathtolocation/data.img

i get: Invalid sparse file format at header magi

I guess this is a small error, as I was able to open the image and it looks like the userdata.

the folders inside the image are: adb, anr, app, app-asec, app-lib, app-private, backup, bootchart, dalvik-cache, data, dontpanic, drm, local, lost+found, media, etc.

What do I do now? [MENTION=6979267]nailyk[/MENTION] your help and advice is always appreciated!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nailyk:
Reboot ?

Also if your new dump isn't encrypted anymore you can mount loop it into any linux distro. If you don't have one, look for FWUL into my signature.

Glad your problem is now solved :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fivel_:
thanks again, I have recovered ALL the lost data :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nailyk:

When there is a shell, there is a way :p

Hello

I flashed a new bootloader version via

Now fastboot is showing a penguin. It still works but once I turn on the phone, reboot or go to fastboot mode I see this penguin.

What does that mean? And how to get the old screen back?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Corwinder:
I'm not positive but I believe that's for the people that have the unlimited plan. They say to have the 10gb hotspot you have to enable it first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] sacnotsack:
Im on the 2GB plan, but seem this. I went ahead and changed to the "unlimited" but I have to wait until my next cycle to see the change. I'll guess I'll find out in a week.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] thowersome:
This is a legit promotion they are having in order to counter Verizon's new unlimited plan. This plan includes everything unlimited, 480p/ 720p video streaming (no longer 360p but 720p 60 fps gets throttled, 10 GB of 4G hotspot tethering (then throttles to 3/2G) and includes data overseas (not at sea) and texting on planes through wifi. This costs altogether $75 but with autopay, goes down to $70; I did this in person at a kiosk so I knew I wouldn't mess it up. It's a great deal and this is also available with the 2 for $100 and other T-Mobile one plans.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] sacnotsack:
I'm currently on the simple choice 2gb plan. But seen I could upgrade to unlimited at no additional cost. Just thought that it was odd.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] TH3B0SS:
I'm pretty sure it only gives the 4gb lte hotspot and the hd pass or it will jusy charge You for the unlimited plan
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Corwinder:
You get 10gb for LTE hotspot or usb tethering. But you do need to enable that option which is free. After the 10gb you get slowed to 3g speed. That's only for the hotspot and tethering. I pulled the trigger and switched last week. Today we finally paid off both the S7s we had financed. T-Mobile emailed me telling me my new bill will be $158.12 That's for 4 phones. I was on the 2 gb plan. As of today my oldest son who now lives an hour away has used 6gb and not been slowed down yet. So apparently the new plan kicked in immediatly.

[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] jsheradin:
Bootloader unlock only just came out less than a week ago. Root has been available for a few days. There should eventually be ROMs but there is basically nothing for the time being. If you are willing to wait a month or two or three for a good ROM, consider this phone.

[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] Toki_Wartooth:
This was a colossal failure on Asus' end, in my opinion. I'm glad those who have the ZF3 5.7" finally got their unlocker. I really had high hopes for this phone. After holding onto it as long as I could (in the box it shipped in) with Amazon's extended holiday return period & crossing my fingers for unlocking...I had to go with the 3T. I really wanted to go with the Zenfone 3 but Asus didn't even suggest an unlocked bootloader was coming, as far as I am aware, until very recently. That was after missing out on 2 rounds of in-stock 3T's due to overly sensitive fraud detection on both OnePlus and my bank's end. Finally ended up getting a 3T 128GB model, even though I bought a 128GB microSD card and nice USB-C cable for the Zenfone 3.

Asus really said something about their support/concern in regards to their mobile phone product line(s) with this - OnePlus Support has already given me trouble, no less. I kinda like Asus, too.

I finally have a phone after nearly 6 months of borrowing -- hijacking my mom's OP 2. :eek:

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] meleeuk:
Hey all.

So I've installed LineageOS just fine - the unlocking guides around here are mostly clear enough. Certainly not as easy as I've been used to for Nexus and OnePlus devices though! I've been using the 'official' TWRP 3.0.4.1 and not any of the other (now often links removed) unofficial versions.

I've also got my hands dirty with EDL mode and have totally reflashed a couple of times while playing around.

So on to my question. Basically I have an email client for work (Good for Enterprise) that detects unlocked bootloaders as 'root' (even though I'm not rooted), so I would like to relock my bootloader.

However, as soon as I use 'fastboot oem lock' it

instantly

bricks my phone. It goes straight into EDL mode, from which it cannot return. No bootloader, no recovery mode, no booting of system. Completely dead. All button combos attempted etc.. The only way back that I've found is to flash a whole new system image in EDL, and start over.

So, have I missed something (a signed recovery?) that makes this happen? Are there some verifications that the bootloader does while locked that fails because there's a custom system and recovery in place?

Is there anything I can do about this? Am I doomed to use stock for as long as I need to use this darned app?

Thanks very much!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] lafester:
Yes you need to be completely stock to lock BL.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] thefiqs:
Also if you want to stay unlocked, you can use MAGISK to hide root for your mailing app.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] meleeuk:
Thanks for the replies. I actually don't have, and never have had, root. So the only thing it can possibly be detecting is either the custom ROM itself (or rather, not a factory one from some list they maintain) or the unlocked bootloader. So I doubt MAGISK will work, because there's no root there to hide in the first place :)

(In case it wasn't obvious, we're talking about Good for Enterprise here).
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] mundraguda:
The blackberry mobile device management system (earlier called GFE) doesnt care if bootloader is unlocked, it just checks whether you have a custom recovery (twrp) and that is enough to flag your system as rooted.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Zombie Feynman:
I'm currently running a home build of the 13.0 branch on my HTC One m7, and I'm now trying to build 14.1 for it. When extracting the proprietary blobs, extract-files.sh reports that it can't find the following files:

/system/etc/firmware/widevine.b00
/system/etc/firmware/widevine.b01
/system/etc/firmware/widevine.b02
/system/etc/firmware/widevine.b03
/system/etc/firmware/widevine.mdt
/system/vendor/lib/libuiblur.so

A quick ls /system/etc/firmware as root from the terminal on my phone reveals that, indeed, there are no files named "widevine.*" in that directory. I also do not have libuiblur.so.

If I stubbornly continue with brunch anyway, the build fails immediately because those files are missing. I figure there must be some way to obtain those files without flashing an existing 14.1 build, and indeed it looks like extract-files.sh is capable of grabbing them from an expanded ROM, so I downloaded and unpacked the latest official nightly. I figure system.new.dat is the system image, but I'm unable to mount it; dmesg reports

EXT4-fs (loop0): bad geometry: block count 475135 exceeds size of device (168078 blocks)

So basically, I'm still more or less at a loss on how to get those proprietary blobs, bar the overkill solution of flashing an existing build. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance. :)

EDIT: after some more digging, I discovered that the system image is not something you can just mount right away; instead you can use sdat2img to convert it into a proper disk image that can be mounted. extract-files.sh can then grab the files from the mount point (note that you have to name the mount point 'system' and pass its parent directory to the script).

Bought mine in November last year. No regrets. Love the lowlight pics and stereo speakers. Latest monthly security patches. Pixel mod. No battery issues. Not tempted by any other phone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eric214:
The only phone I can see really competing with the 6p at a price point of $400 or less is the One Plus 3t. Its like Nexus software (vanilla Android) that a dev got to and modded with all the extra goodies (customizations), has the most up to date CPU/GPU (till the S8 is released). What it's lacking in comparison to the 6P... 6P has front facing stereo speakers, QHD display (3T has 1080p) Faster updates, monthly security patches.

I personally can't give up my 6P to anything offered currently. I may consider the One Plus 4 if it has the SD835 in the fall but I think you won't do much better then the 6P at that price point.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eric214:
Maybe, but that battery issue I fully believe is from ppl not knowing or understanding how to take care of their battery. Most ppl don't know when or how to charge the battery. My battery is exactly 1 year old, bought my phone mid February last year and I still have 93% of my battery capacity. Most I read are well into 60% or lower that have this battery issue. So I'm thinking it's mainly cause by ppl letting their batteries get below 15-10% regularly. Look up and read about charge cycles on battery university of you don't understand what I'm saying.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myprecious:
No issues whatsoever, a highly recommended phone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammol:
I understand what you're saying and I know about charge cycles of batteries of different types and structural integrity but I will have to disagree about it being a user error. I just sent in RMA number 6, had it for a week, battery health was 98%. I never let my devices die after a bad experience I had with the Samsung Galaxy SII. Battery died on it and it never turned back on until I got a new battery. That was years ago though.

The other reason I don't think it's a battery issue.....it's happening to brand new Pixel devices.

Don't get me wrong, I love the 6P and I think it's a good device. But this late in the game, I would say pass because of what's happening to them, and the specs of it....processor wise that is.

Don't buy one that doesn't come with a full warranty --and if available an extended warranty might not be a bad deal for this particular phone.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richii0207:
The "battery issue" is not so common. It looks common because those with issues will likely post/complain about the issue versus those that do not have issues.

Those without any issues generally don't start threads about issues or post in threads saying "no issues" since it doesn't apply to them.

I'll also like to add that there are reports of other phones with the shut down issue, with some saying it could be software related. I could recall Franco talking about voltage drops or something along those lines in relation to cold environments.

Truth is, every phone will have their share of issues. Find the one that best suits you. Some may say it's worth it while others could disagree. I personally wouldn't spend over $250 on a cell phone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammol:
Dude have you seen Reddit? I'm sorry but what's your definition of large?! Just saying. Lets not try to down play the issue. Just because everyone doesn't complain about it, doesn't mean it's not a lot of people having the issue.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E30Nova:
I'd say no.

I love this phone and the front facing speakers, but let's be real, here. The 810, however well optimized in this phone, still isn't the greatest. Battery life is all over the place. It can be good if you use battery saving profiles, turn off a lot of functions, and can deal with stuttering. If you want buttery smooth UI, battery life is around 3-4 hours of screen time, if you're lucky.

It can get hot, too.

For $370, I'd rather get a OnePlus 3T. Yeah it doesn't have the front facing speakers or a 1440p AMOLED display. But it trumps the 6P performance wise and battery life wise.

If you could find one for maybe $300, max, then I'd say it's a decent deal. But $370 for a 2 year old phone with a flawed soc? You can do better.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eric214:
I haven't heard of any new device having the issue, just older phones. But all said and done, I would certainly be looking at the One Plus 3T. I think if anyone is not going to wait for a phone with the SD835 in it then I'd look at the 3T. It doesn't have the front facing stereo speakers and and its only 1080p but I'd probably only get the 6P if those are important the buyer.
