Hi I happened to talk to one guy who works in HTC UK. He confirmed that it is only one colour. So, i am not sure. I am having the silver flaceplate, but u shouldn't say it silver since it has black & grey shade also. Looks very good...
[Touch Cruise General] turcomora:
I spoke to expansys US/mobileplanet and they said that and I quote "there are two color versions a silver and a black we will be carrying the black version". I really dont care what color I get as long as I get them in.
[Touch Cruise General] aerokid240:
hmm, thats really interesting. Ive seen a number of different pics on the internet on the touch cruise and was quite convinced that there is a blank and silver version to the pda phone.
[Touch Cruise General] butzchan:
I have been led to believe that silver is pre production and black is production.
[Touch Cruise General] copualt3:
your belief is not factual.

preproduction models have a a total glossy trim and buttons(not cleanly laser eteched/ugly)
[Touch Cruise General] athanaso77:
That is surely not true.
[Touch Cruise General] butzchan:
I guess what I am trying to say is that the models that were sent out for review/ testing last Aug/Sept or later have the silver face, and the ones that were available at a retail outlet recently had a black face. Just an observation.
[Touch Cruise General] Borizli:
NO, i have one here (bought today) and the face is a dark grey and sometimes (depends on the light) it will appear as black.

The buttons are like brushed aluminium.
[Touch Cruise General] Abbsta:
Where from please?
[Touch Cruise General] Borizli:
From www.digitec.ch

I bought the french version because the english or german version are not aviable and i am shure there will be an WWE Rom soon.
[Touch Cruise General] Abbsta:
Thanks for that. They have 1 French left from what I can see.

Decisions decisions.
[Touch Cruise General] badghost:
i think you might've saw the dopod P860

which up till just now i thought it was black front

but now i found this post, which has more photos,

just confirmed to myself it's still silver

[Touch Cruise General] Abbsta:
We won't be getting that in Europe. Some stores maybe but not for main release.

In Europe it'll be the black/gray (pics in this forum).
[Touch Cruise General] Top Mario:
According to the link posted above is clearly visible that depending upon which angle you see it is of different colour. That to me it says all but but but in black is far more stylish for modern young professionals rather than that silver appearance that looks like my grand father barber has designed the device. Nevertheless of my disappointment with the silver, I will still buy it and when I show it to my friends I’ll make sure I choose the correct lighting conditions and I don’t choose that silver angle
[Touch Cruise General] Borizli:
I bought the Touch Cruise (French, european version) and it looks exactly the same as the dopod in these pictures (exept the dopod logo)

But as you can see, in some pictures its grey and in others black.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] drashi17:
After installing an update my device started re-booting at MI screen. Then after going through many forums, I flashed by using mi flash windows application. Even this didn't work, so I used adp drivers to flash twrp and installed a custom ROM through this recovery. In TWRP everything works perfectly fine, even the mi recovery works fine. But as soon as I start my device it boot loops at the logo.

As a last resort, I submitted my mobile in a service center and now the service guy says that my mobile's motherboard is faulty and it would cost me around Rs 10K.

How can I trust the service guy, how could TWRP and mi recovery work if there is an issue in motherboard?

Please clarify my queries, Spending 10k on a 11k mobile is a waste.

Don't ever fall in service centre guys words.

[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] slinkygb:
Considering buying this phone as my G Flex 2 has started bootlooping :-<

The main thing putting me off is the fact the phone isn't DLNA certified. I use my phone a lot to stream video to television and with the Flex 2 it was just a case of opening the video in the default LG Player, selecting the wireless icon, selecting the TV or device and it would play from the phone (and can be controlled from the TV). How is the process on this phone? I want something stable that won't randomly disconnect whilst watching a film sent from it.

Concerned the phone won't be as quick in general considering I'm coming from a snapdragon 810, will it be noticeable?

[Android General] Motodude2017:
Hi guys I own a Motorola G4 Play 2016 (Harphia). I am having a hard time unlocking the bootloader for my device. I went on Motorlas bootloader unlock page. Then I followed all the steps to get the string of numbers and letters from my bootloader. Then I enter them in the verify box and it says my device is not qualified for bootloader unlocking. I don't know what to do I really want to root my device. The reason is to install Lineage Os and TWRP. I've tried rooting apps but they fail is that because of my bootloader. Also a side not it says my device is locked status 0. Any help would be great or other wise I will have someone from a root online based company root and unlock my phone. :eek:Thanks for the help
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentauroi:
Hy! I've bought a used z2 with unlocked bootloader, only to realise that the camera quality really sucks, so I started to search this forum for solutions and found two methods to fix it:(drm function restoration and elite kernel v3)

-https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/xperia-z1-z2-z3-series-devices-drm-t2930672

-https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/development/kernel-elitekernel-v1-t3427540

I'm really a noob. Could some of you explain me step-by-step how to install any of these on top of eXistenZ Marshmallow | v5.6.5, which I managed to install after a day of struggle and don't want to screw it up :D .

As I see the elite kernel can also provide better battery life when underclocked which is nice, but I would go for the better and more stable solution having the camera fix as my main goal. Thank you.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edenah:
Hello i have recently tried to return my phone from cyanogenmod into the stock rom using this thread: "https://xdaforums.com/moto-x-style/general/guide-return-to-stock-relock-bootloader-t3489110" and my phone got stuck in the process while making the command "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img". And now my device is stuck on boot loop showing the cyanogenmod loading screen.

Anyway now i found a way to get to stock but for that i need to get my device into fastboot. THE PROBLEM IS that my device can't get now into fastboot! i have tried using adb commands but the adb doesn't recognize the device. I have tried fastboot commands but again it doesn't recognize the device. I also tried button combinations, but it didn't work.

Until the incidence i have used to press the power button+ vol down keys to get into fastboot mode, but now it doesn't work. I suspect that it doesn't work since in order to get into fastboot with the button combination i need to first get the device turned off. But when i connect my device to the charger it shows the battery charging screen and the device is stuck on that screen even if it has disconnected from the charger, and it will keep on that screen until the battery has depleted. I have tried shutting it down using the power button but then my phone gets into a loop with the cyanogenmod loading screen, and even if i turn it off it restarts instead.

p.s I have used to think that my fastboot was deleted but on an other thread i have been told that as long as i see the cyanogenmod loading screen of the OS that means i have a boot-loader.

Please help!

I want to get into Fastboot on my Moto Pure.

Thanks a lot :)

Eden.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PassatSport15:
Power down 1st

Try volume down & power key together. That will get you into fastboot directly.

Oops just seen that, my bad, I wont respond anymore.

Haha, as said. can't power off.

Np :) thanks for responding!

Anyone got an idea?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sagar_1401:
u cant poweroff does that means your phone is continuously bootlooping or its just booting but takes a hell lotta time to boot up?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybarrap1:
I think [MENTION=5462958]edenah[/MENTION] is saying it just gets stuck at the loading screen. If the battery discharges all the way and the device is plugged in, the battery symbol shows and after the charger is unplugged, the battery charging doesn't go away until the battery dies again or the power button is pressed (which leaves us right back to where we started)
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzidexx:
Try this:

Hold power button for 10-20 sek, when screen will turn off hold only vol-(at bootloop screen).

You should flash stock without "oem" commands.

Find how to update bootloader​.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edenah:
Yes thats exactly what i mean.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edenah:

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sagar_1401:
its soft brick but can't be fixed (just thinking any method but no idea man)

get your phone to moto service centre and they can only fix it (or maybe not) caus this is worst case happening to you

if any pro dev read this thread he might be able to answer but badluck (nobody gives a ....)

btw when you connect your phone to pc does it shows unknown device or it just charge the phone?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edenah:
:/

It recognizes it as portable usb device.

And well. I have bought the device in the us but i live outside of the US. so its bit problematic to return it now. Some help could do the trick!

I found SP flash tool and i believe it would do the trick. But i need to get the scatter loading file of the moto pure, but i can't find it anywhere, maybe anyone got the idea how to get that?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
We haven't been able to get the QLoad files for most Moto devices, at least not for the last 2-3 years... Sorry.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edenah:
Well i have found a way to get the device charged while the screen is off!

If i connect it to my computer while pressing the power button and the vol down button and keep pressing it, the device stays turned off!

Now i'm trying to play with it, to turn the bootloader. so far the classical power and vol combo doesn't work.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edenah:
I am stuck. No button combination works. I suspect that the device isn't really off but the display is just closed. As even to open up the device takes a reallly long press on the power button.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericpeacock79:
if it got interrupted while flashing bootloader, you're pretty much not going to be able to do anything.

motorola service center is likely the only place that can fix it.

sorry for your luck.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edenah:
i see :'(

Ok Thank your guys :)

I guess its a lost cause.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Lost cause? No, probably not... Do you know anyone in the US you trust well enough to receive the phone from repair and ship it to you where ever you are? I believe that is all you need. The US service center cannot ship outside of North America (maybe US), but they can receive packages from anywhere. If you had a US contact that could receive the device and forward it on to you it might be worth it to get it fixed if it is still under warranty, if it isn't, then it might not be worth fixing. Lots of things to consider here.

Seeing as how to there is no ROOT access on the G6 yet and titanium backup is not an option because of that, I have been having difficulty transferring my apps (Plus their data) from my old LG G3 to my LG G6. I've tried using Clockworkmod Helium, that didn't work. It just says its restoring, and then when the progress bars finish and it says "restore complete" the apps aren't even there in my app drawer... Is there any other way to restore APPS+DATA without root other than Helium? If anyone knows a way, please tell me, I would highly appreciate it. I have been at work trying to get this done for the past 3 days now... :(

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timg11:
I purchased a spare Note 4 SM-N910T as a backup. It came with MM 6.01, so I thought I'd try to migrate to that environment and start using that as my primary phone.

First I installed TWRP and did a full reset and data wipe. Booted back to the OS, did the initial setup. Then back to recovery, and install systemless root with SuperSU. From there thought it would be a quick and easy process to restore the latest TB "Backup All user apps + system data" (TB Guide 5i) from the source phone, and then "restore all missing apps + all system data" (TB Guide 6i) to the new phone. Unfortunately, that process rendered the new phone unbootable.

So I re-flashed N910TUVS2EQB1 with Odin, restored TWRP and SuperSU. This time I re-loaded all my market apps from the Play store.

However there are some apps that are sideloaded or are detached from the store. I tried to restore these non-market or old-revision apps from TB. I go into the Backup/Restore list and search for the app. (Source phone shows it as "2 backups). On target phone, the app shows in gray strikethrough, but still says "2 backups". There is no button to restore the app. Why? I read the FAQ. This is not a system app. I have not "disabled the “Normal apps (apk)” and/or “Protected apps (apk)” options"

I first had problems with getting the extSDcard mounted as storage location. It was not writable. I found tips in other forums about setting the External Storage provider. The backup folder location now says "this folder contains 847 backups" which is about right (?) since "Backup all user apps + system data" has a count of 405, and I have max backup history set to 2.

Maybe this has something to do with the change in extSD storage provider in MM?

Is there another way to perform this upgrade, avoiding the need to install every app individually, and have to manually reconfigure screen layouts? For example, could I restore a Nandroid backup of the source phone with 5.1.1 to the new phone, and then do an "in place upgrade". Is it possible to simulate the process of an OTA upgrade but loading the new firmware from the extSDcard?

I was searching for a YouTube of exactly how the amazon bloat ware looks, and I never really saw a good one- but YouTube is where I would search for your question.

I bought the 32gb version and I've had some force closes and hangs on apps- but from what I've read that may not happen if one buys the 64gb one with more ram.

The amazon suggestions are very minor, if your do a double tap of the sensor, all notifications go away. I never paid any attention to what they were. I can't even recall any.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] iissmart:
Stock Pixel/Pixel XL Kernel + SafetyNet Patch

Current version:

android-9.0.0_r0.111

Suitable for build(s):

August 2019

Suitable for devices(s):

Pixel XL (marlin) | Pixel (sailfish)

I compiled the stock kernel for the Pixel/Pixel XL and applied the SafetyNet patch by sultanxda. The kernel name says

marlin

, but this also works on

sailfish

. Google just created one kernel that works on both

sailfish

(Pixel) and

marlin

(Pixel XL) devices.

Use case for this kernel:

- If you want to stay completely stock, but have an unlocked bootloader, the SafetyNet is tripped which disables features such as Android Pay and Netflix.

- This kernel is completely stock except for the addition of a patch that removes the SafetyNet check.

- This kernel is only for the builds listed above!!!! This will not work on any prior build.

- All stock features will work with this kernel (since it's just the stock kernel + patch).

- If you do not have an unlocked bootloader there is no need to use this kernel. It's exactly the same as the stock kernel, except with the addition of the SafetyNet patch.

- This will not prevent SafetyNet from tripping for other reasons, like rooting.

- This will not remove the "device corrupted" warning when the phone is turned on or rebooted.

Installation:

- Be prepared with backups or the factory image from Google in case you do something wrong

- Extract kernel from zip file

- Test with command: fastboot boot <filename>

- Flash with command: fastboot flash kernel <filename>

**WARNING**

If flashing this kernel for whatever reason ruins your device, I am not accountable. Use this at your own risk!

The current version will always be attached to this post. Older versions can be found HERE.

(shamelessly copied from Sakete's kernel for the Pixel/Pixel XL, which is no longer being maintained. Thanks for the inspiration, Sakete!)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Cardflip:
Wow. I literally just compiled the patched kernel myself just now. What a ninja! While I'll be running my own, thanks for posting this so I didn't have to :P
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] iissmart:
For those who already downloaded the kernel, I checked and saw a new mr2.1 update so I've attached an updated kernel.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Cardflip:
Mine is based on that but mr2 and mr2.1 have the same commit so I'm pretty sure it's the same kernel.

Cheers

I'm running a pixel on the nof27b build I don't really want to flash a new kernel would it be possible for you to make the patch a flashable zip
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] iissmart:
Good catch, I didn't look that closely before recompiling but they are indeed the same. Oh well! Maybe I'll start going off of tag names instead of branches...

Curious - what difference is there between flashing a kernel using fastboot and using a flashable zip? Isn't the end result the same?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Cardflip:
I think he's asking for the patch itself to be a flashable zip so he can patch the boot image while it's already compiled and on the phone. Which AFAIK is impossible
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] puertorecon:
We need one for the Non-Verizon models (N2G47E) & (N2G47J). This modified kernel is only for the Verizon version. If you can compile two more versions for Non-Verizon builds.
