[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Einsteindks:
Don't know about the pros, but I'd try flashing twrp via ADB while in bootloader. Once on, you can wipe stuff, and reflash your ROM from TWRP.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] SimpTheChimp:
Thanks, but I did try that; adb said the flash worked, but it won't boot into recovery. Still bootloops at the logo.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] SimpTheChimp:
OK I may post this question as a new post, but: To try to at least get a booting phone: Is there ANY stock ROM and Bootloader that I can flash that will still keep my phone UNLOCKED? I don't want to relock it and then have it locked forever (which I think the latest stock updates does),
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zys52712:
You can flash the latest firmware from Motorola and it won't lock your bootloader
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Einsteindks:
I'll second that firmware flash. Bootloader doesn't get re-locked that way. Your TWRP file used may either have not been for quark phones, or was a corrupted file. I use version 3.1.0.0. Although the latest, and reported stable 'ver4' of that is out, 3.1.0.0 likes my Turbo.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] SpyderPride:
I believe that if you can only get to the bootloader, you'd run fastboot commands not adb. Just want to make sure that's what you're​ doing.

Other than that, back up all the files you can get to through your PC and flash the stock image or run the Verizon repair assistant. Neither will relock your bootloader. You just get to start over from scratch, not necessarily a bad thing in situations like this.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] SimpTheChimp:
Spyder: Thanks, I did just that and it worked. Unfortunately, my new screen works but the digitizer doesn't. I.E. I can boot and see everything on the screen, but touching the screen yields nothing - can't scroll, can't select anything, can't even continue with the phone startup! I went through and double-checked all my connections and everything looks correct - just no digitizer.

Kinda strange that the screen works but the digitizer (touch portion) doesn't. Don't suppose you got any ideas on that?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Einsteindks:
You get the screen from a reputable seller? Did you do an all-in-one screen, or try to do an individual repair?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] SimpTheChimp:
Yeah, the seller is an eBay 'company' but reputable (at least their rating is good); plus screen looked basically brand new when it arrived. It was screen+digitizer which I put on my old Turbo frame, reattached motherboard, battery, etc. Fairly experienced with taking the Turbo apart; have done so previously to install new battery.

Just strange that the screen works perfectly but no touch. I read somewhere else that sometimes pressing the top left corner of the screen (where it was mentioned that the digitizer exists) can possibly get it going - but not in my case. And as far as I can tell, there is only 1 connection of the screen to the motherboard, and I know that is connected properly.

So.... :confused:

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 1984world:
Hello,

Any help would be appreciated. I'm not extremely comfortable yet with rooting, and as such, would love if someone could point me in the right direction to a proper tutorial on how to root my Pixel XL. I purchased it from Google directly, which has an unlocked bootloader. It is the N2G47E Build Number, and I OTA updated it to 7.1.2. I have a Windows PC on Windows 10 64 Professional, original cables, etc.

Thanks so much for any help, and I'm hoping this is possible.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Third post in the thread below, follow the part about setting up adb and fastboot. Skip the part about downloading the factory image and flashing it.

Just get the tools set up.

Then follow the second​ to last post in the same thread to root it.

Why do you want to root?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 1984world:
I would like to block ads everywhere. That's a big one. I have used adaway in the past and liked it. I also like to learn the process. I've been jailbreaking iphones/ipods/ipads for years and am interested in learning more about rooting as it interests me. I also want to have more control over functions of the phone, and there have been a few apps and such that I liked in the past that I felt enhanced my phone (it was a galaxy s6).

I'm looking at the dates and it seems like the SuperSU has a version 3,4, and 5. which should I be using? I'm finding it all a bit confusing.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 335Deezl:
Brother, I don't need you to lay out anything for me. I've been rooting since the OG Droid A855. That was probably when you were in grade school. I like a faster phone, better battery life, no ads, and endless customization. That's why I root. You want stock? Buy an iCrap.

A week or so ago I used twrp.img rc1 with SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742 and it worked just fine.

I did not flash twrp, just flashboot to it and flash su zip.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 1984world:
Are you 7.1.2? What methods/tutorial did you use (or can point the way towards) for me to root my Pixel XL? I would appreciate any help. Lots of the terms are very foreign to me and I'm attempting to follow the directions, but half the time I have to google what the instructions even mean. This is not my main device, so if I have to reset, etc. it's not the end of the world. Thanks so much!

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 1984world:
Ok, and how about the twrp? The instructions state to use the RC1 version, but there is now a RC2 version. Suggestions?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] gordonlw:
I used rc1 img (twrp-3.0.2-0-RC1-fastboot-marlin.img)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 1984world:
ok that helps. So I've installed ADB and platform tools and drivers. when i open a command windows to install twrp (fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img) it gives me the "cannot load : no such file or directory. not sure what im doing wrong with this, followed the instructions to the letter.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Brother? Yikes, I hope not. The question of why root was not directed at you so I'm not sure why you answered. The OP had already answered it. I don't care what you have done in the slightest. Your assumption of your maturity level due to your age leaves much to be desired as well.

There are many reasons not to root, I'll say it again. So if you don't know the reasons you might not know as much as you think you do. Don't make me lay it out for you. If you take a few minutes you will find a lot of others that used to root but find no need to any longer. The iPhone discussion has nothing to do with this neither does your denigration of a very capable phone. Where that came from we can only imagine. Oh yeah, age.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] gordonlw:
"path/to/" is where the files are located!

I create a folder at the root of c called "adb". go inside that folder and shift right click. that will give the option to open command prompt from that folder. then your adb commands are already in the correct folder so it would be adb fastboot twrp.img (if you renamed the img to twrp)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 1984world:
Ok, fair enough. I've done all of that. my only issue now, is how to do the follow through. The guide doesn't seem to be fully explanatory, or I'm simply not comprehending all the nuances of it.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 1984world:
Ok, i tried that and it tells me fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] gordonlw:
do you have all the the adb files and the img in that folder?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 1984world:
Ok, it seems I have twrp installed now. I'm now at the Team Win Recovery Project screen on my android. I had dragged and dropped the SR3 zip onto my phone, as well as unzipped the folder into its own root folder on the pixel. I'm at the screen where it says INSTALL (along with a number of other options).

At this point, I assume I am to install the SR3 zip file that is located on the pixel?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] gordonlw:
did you install twrp or just boot to the img? if you just booted to it install the sr3 zip.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
You copy the SU file to your phone

Then you use Fastboot to boot the phone to twrp. Then you use TWRP to install the SU zip you xipied previously.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 1984world:
I think I simply booted to the img, but I could be wrong.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] gordonlw:
then just install the su zip
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 1984world:
I have the TWRP on my pixel at the moment. And the SU zip is copied.

On the phone I click "Install" (there are options to "wipe" "backup" "restore" "mount" "settings" "advanced" and "reboot".

When I click "install" it brings me to a screen that states: Install Zip Select File from Internal Storage (66000 MB)

This brings me to a list of folders on my device: "acct" "boot" "bt_firmware" etc.......

I'm assuming I'm looking for the folder that is "supersu"?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] gordonlw:
you need to find and install the su zip file not the folder you extracted.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 1984world:
Ok, I located that zip, and am using twrp to get things done. It had a swipe to install screen..........

And it worked!

You guys are so awesome! I really appreciate you dumbing things down for me and answering my (seeming to people in the know) stupid questions.

I use only root via Fastboot (boot boot-to-root.img).

I do not need twrp at the moment.

Is there a newer version of it?

https://download.chainfire.eu/1011/CF-Root1/root-marlin-pixelxl.zip

In 7.1.2 do you think the process is outdated?

What's the downside?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 5.1:
Hello,

Don't use this method. It is outdated.

Download this version of SuperSU: https://download.chainfire.eu/1021/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip

Place the zip in the root of your internal storage.

Go on twrp website and download twrp: https://dl.twrp.me/marlin/twrp-3.0.2-0-RC1-fastboot-marlin.img

Open a command prompt and issue:

fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-RC1-fastboot-marlin.img

In twrp, tap install and select SuperSU zip and swipe to install. TWRP will vanish once you reboot to system. Done.

Cheers...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] nikpoth:
I would like your opinion for something else!

I hope I do not get tired.

If I decide to keep permanently twrp any version you believe is better-more stable?

Rc1 or Rc2?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 5.1:
Hello,

If you want to keep twrp, fastboot boot twrp img and install twrp zip from here, just as SuperSU. Install twrp zip first and SuperSU zip afterward. :good:

For the moment, i keep using RC1.

There have been reports of problem restoring backups with RC2. Some other people say they haven't had this problem.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] f.batiri:
Hi guys,

I know this question has been asked before but I couldn't find anything that works.

My phone gets connected to my laptop but when I try to copy files to my phone memory/SD card this error is shown after a few seconds (some times more) of copping:

"the device has either stopped responding or is disconnected"

and after that nothing can be copied.

(Error sometimes appear even when starting the copy. also with some of ports windows doesn't detect the phone at all. )

any idea how it may be fixed?

Phone model: S7 edge, Android 7, Not rooted

Here is what I have tried so far:

-restarting the phone/laptop

-installing/reinstalling the drivers

-installing/using Samsung switch

-using different usb ports

-using different cables

-using different files

-different file sizes (23MB and 800 MB, 23 MB got copied once but not the second time)

-disabling usb selective suspending from windows power options

-disabling windows firewall

-keeping the screen on/unlocked all the time

-enabling usb debugging

-unmount SD card

-closing all the apps both from recent apps and cleaning ram

-turning wifi/mobile data off (I'm just really desperate to fine a solution!)

Is there anything else left to try? :(

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] slavic23:
First let me start off with this is a beautiful F,N phone!

So this is obvious the display and the phone is amazing looking, but let me tell you about the real reasons I love this phone. IDK why they bag about the software but if you are previous Samsung user than you have to love the simplicity and complicity of this device. The amount of user features this phone provides definitely speeds up and makes your life easier.

Bluetooth umm fukn amazing I play two media's with two different devices with the ease of one setting swipe. Not to mention I live in a apartment and walked down stairs around a building to a parking lot and my sound had 0 issues.

Speed, IDC what the benchmark tests say or these stupid tests on YouTube are trying to prove... It's fast, rediculusly fast, obviously most games are built to perform on iOS better but these are not noticable or do they out power the device functions and beauty.

4G LTE IDK what t-mobile has done but my download and upload speeds have doubled if not tripled in certain areas. I mean I can download a full album "legally" lol of course you do have the option of downloading threw torrent files in Android devices, saves you $10 a month on Apple music or $25 of tidal what a repoff by the way.

Umm 3.5mm jack yes it's awesome, why? Because we are not ready to completely go Bluetooth, sometimes your Bluetooth devices are not charged and a back up set helps especially if your a gym rat.

Camera it's still amazing, faster, better, front face is great and the video quality is awesome and the stabilizer is to die for.

Battery life I'm a battery abuser I get about 20-30 % more battery life than my S7 Edge not to mention the fast charger is still here and never fails a quick charge.

If you honestly think the apple 7 plus is better you must not have both devices. I have both, one for work and my S8+ for personal use and for my day to day use it's my go to. If you have any doubts buying this unit don't, it's worth every penny.
