Hello,

IF you want to install Pure Nexus, you'll have to do it slightly differently... Also you need to have basic knowledge of ADB/fastboot. I don't use toolkit myself. So either use this method which is ok, or search for toolkit. In this case, i'll be of no help for you :)

Download latest platform tools from google and extract the folder: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html

First unlock your bootloader... You can find infos from the link you posted... Once you re unlocked, reboot to system. Go in developer options and enable USB debugging.

Download latest Pure Nexus and corresponding Vendor IMG ((NHG47K) here: https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/development/rom-pure-nexus-substratum-fi-wifi-t3533539

Those can be found in the first post.

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

And: https://dl.twrp.me/marlin/twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-3.0.2-0-RC1.zip

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

Place the Pure Nexus zip, SuperSU zip, TWRP zip and Vendor img in the root of your phone's internal storage.

Go in the platform-tools folder you extracted and place it the TWRP img. Press tab on your keyboard, right click and choose: Open a command prompt here and issue:

adb reboot bootloader

This one is self explainatory, it will reboot to bootloader. Since you copied TWRP img in the platform-tools folder, issue:

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

In twrp, tap install, select:

Pure Nexus zip > swipe to install

Go back in home menu, select install and choose TWRP zip > swipe to install.

Once done, go back to home menu > reboot > Recovery.

Again, select install > At bottom, choose "install image", select NHG47K Vendor img and choose install > vendor partition > swipe to install.

Now, reboot to system. On Pure Nexus, you have an advanced reboot menu, long press power, select reboot > Recovery.

From TWRP, select install, choose SuperSU zip > swipe to install.

Once finished, select reboot system. It will restart once or twice, this is normal, don't panic.

You have installed Pure Nexus, TWRP and Root. Enjoy... :good:

Don't ever relock your bootloader... In case something goes wrong, you're screwed.

Cheers...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sefirosu0522:
Wow. Thank you for all of this. I'm going to try and follow it.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 5.1:
Hey,

Sure, go ahead. I think it's all there. Be careful and follow steps in order. Should get you where you want. If you still have doubts, just use the search function. If you can't find the answer, post here and I'll try to answer...

Good luck...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sefirosu0522:
I'm holding off for now. Looks like the May update is breaking TWRP and root.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 5.1:
Hey,

Yes it does. And it might break it for a while. Only way is to keep April bootloader at the moment...

Cheers...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sefirosu0522:
So in the guides to unlock the bootloader, what has to change? Where do I get the April bootloader?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 5.1:
Unlocking bootloader only requires to issue from bootloader:

fastboot flashing unlock

Check your phone, choose yes with volume rocker and press power to launch the process. Backup beforehand. It will wipe your phone...

Also, this is Pure Nexus Androidfilehost profile: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=138509

You can find Vendor, Radio, Pure Nexus Rom and bootloader. He updates it regularly.

Download latest bootloader available...

You may flash it on both slots, just to be sure...

boot into bootloader and issue:

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader img (name of file)

switch slot (you can see active boot slot in bootloader= a or b):

fastboot --set-active=b (if active slot was a)

fastboot --set-active=a (if active slot was b)

fastboot reboot bootloader

repeat with bootloader flash:

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader img (name of file)

From here you can start with fastboot boot ...., etc...

Easy isn't it? :)

Cheers...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sefirosu0522:
I was just reading this and realized that I don't think I switched from a to b. Will that cause an issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] ptfdmedic:
Found this here and it works great.

Type the following commands in adb/fastboot environment (adb shell) on your PC after connecting the phone in file transfer mode and usb debugging is on:

· Hide Status Bar only type:

adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*

· Hide Navigation Bar only type:

adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*

· Hide Both Bars type:

adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*

· Back to normal/default type:

adb shell settings put global policy_control null*

easy adb tools attached below.

Enjoy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] ptfdmedic:
When not in use, the navigation slides down and gives you the entire screen. Swipe up to bring it back. Say bye bye to any burn in issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] lildoggs:
Hey man. Nice find. Thanks for sharing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] ptfdmedic:
Thanks. Its like auto hiding the task bar in windows... No burn I'm worries now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ippolito1971:
Nice job. Thanks!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] mannydelrio1:
What about when you have Samsung pay how does this affect the swipe up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] ptfdmedic:
You'd have to try. I don't use Samsung pay. You can easily revert
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Quickvic30:
It gets annoying cause you go to swipe up for the nav bar and it pulls up your s pay card. Also in messaging and some other apps that use the keyboard you swipe up for the nav bar and it brings up the keyboard and if you try to hide the keyboard and just bring up the nav bar the keyboard keeps coming up. I also noticed this breaks Samsung web browser open windows page and and add a new window. It just shows a blank page pretty much and if you try to open a new window or tap any of the options on this page nothing happens. Is it just my phone that does this or are other people having issues with this also? It's a awesome mod and thanks for sharing, if we could get those bugs fixed I would use it. I do a lot of adb testing stuff so this may have caused the issues I was having.

I would love to have the nav bar there all the time with the black semi transparent nav bar but not sure that can be done without modding the sysui framework. If anyone knows the command or if it's even possible to do through adb without root of course that would be great!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] ErickF:
I have the same issue with the samsung browser and text message app. Will switch to chrome and see if there arent any issues there. if you find any way to fix the samsung browser glitch then please let us know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Quickvic30:
I heard if you install the beta version it fixes those issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] ErickF:
noob question. wheres the best way to download the beta version?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Quickvic30:
The play store if it's still on there or app.mirror would probably have it also.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] ErickF:
That was pretty dumb question.lol. and can confirm the internet beta app does work properly now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Quickvic30:
Lol it was a valid question though, I mean there's plenty of places to get apk's these days. Glad it worked!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] tntcko:
i already hide navigation bar, but i need status bar (batery life, connections, clock) but i hate his black fade, i need transparent status bar. Is that posible true adb shell settings commands? or somehow ? Thanks much!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] snipeerz:
there is way to keep the navi buttons shown all the time with out hide ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] goonygugle:
Is there a way to keep the soft keys hidden at all times ? with the pressure sensitive home key and gesture controls i could actually do without them
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] DurbanPoison24:
How do I do this? Lol. I never messed with the adb stuff really.. don't recall much about how to type in commands.. also, what will happen when I get a system update? Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] kcsevo:
Thanks for this, Op. I'll keep me happy until root if possible. Nice to see mods that don't require root hehe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] jon3sh:
Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] qaz751:
When I use Samsung Interner and youtube（video) at multiwindows.

But it cant see it when youtube(video) on the bottom side.

Does anyone know how to fix it？
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] cameljockey1:
This worked like a charm thank you so much. I googled a little bit and could not find how to change the height of the nav bar?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] D F:
Did you manage to find it?

I don't understand why all these people replied, but none told you where to find it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] ErickF:
Yea you can get it from the regular app store. Didnt even know you could get beta apps that easily.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] D F:
I see, but what's it called?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gregbmil1:
Lol, I would like to know also but we're left hanging
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] jon3sh:
Are you looking for the app from P store to hide navi and status bar?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gregbmil1:
No I have not, should I?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] jon3sh:
full screen better than with status bar and navi showing :
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] JimmyJurner:
substratum and navbar height apk:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] cameljockey1:
Thanks buddy. I didnt know that substratum worked with sammy with no root. about to try it now. and i am guessing navbar height apk is not on the market?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] JimmyJurner:
Sorry that method doesnt work, i cant post links but if you google "navbar tools s8" click on the link android.gadgethacks... download the apk height that you desire install it, reboot and profit!!:good:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mpovolo:
I do most of my entry walking from meetings which I think is next to impossible with the slide out keyboard. So really I think I do not need it, could be worng. Anybody else in the same position that has the Kaiser for being a great device without ever really using the keyboard. I mean, I want one but not convinced I need the keyboard.

Also thinking it may be heavy and thick, especially coming from a touch which was almost too small.

thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] copualt3:
I too felt the same. The only time the keyboard is out is when i text (2-3 times/day) and or watching southpark(1x/on breaks at school) no very often.

i got the HTC touch crusie and am very please with it. using the onscreen keyboard is not too bad since i was using the onscreen keybaord most of the time on the kaiser. I missed the tilting feature form time to time though but the lighter weight and design won me over.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Nick Collision:
I too, rarely use the keyboard. Its funny, the qwerty keyboard with fairly large keys was one of the reasons I bought the device, but in all honesty I find the software keyboards available to me to be faster and simply more convenient.

The atrocious delay between switching from portrait to landscape and back is prolly one reason, another is that it takes no less concentration to focus a stylus on a tiny kb than it takes my fat fingers to hit the proper keys on the hardware kb.

I would trade the hardware keyboard for a larger screen and/or true VGA.

I love my kaiser, and yes it needs hardware acceleration in its drivers, but more suprisingly to me I dont use the hardware keys as much as I expected.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ekw:
I use keyboard when i surf webs and sms. Sometimes i slide it out and tilt it when watching something, but thats all for me!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] phan10m:
Im the same way. I see myself wanting to just say ok or hi in texts w/o sliding the keyboard out but use it more for surfing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] srmz:
When I bought the Kaiser I thought I would be using the keyboard a lot. However I found it not very convenient specially for one handed operation.

I was lucky that the excellent soft keyboard (Cootek TouchPal) was released about the same time when I got my Kaiser. I found this software very useful and now I almost never use the mechanical keyboard.

On the other hand the disadvantages of the mechanical keyboard such as weight and thickenss are forcing me to consider the Polaris once it is available in the UAE.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] texarcana:
I never use the keyboard, the stylus is a lot quicker for me.

I'm thinking of selling my tytn2 and buying a touch cruise, which is the same as the tytn2 but without keyboard.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] M4cr0s:
I just have to add, here, contrary of everyone else, I always use the keyboard and I love it for the speed and everything :p Completely superior of any on-screen keyboard...as long as you got two hands free. That said, I had some Psion-devices back in the stone ages and always loved their keyboards (they where made in the same style as the Nokia Communicators are today), so I've had 10-15 years of getting used to the concept on such a small device ;) Now, when thats said, I have to admit that both having the keyboard and a touchscreen was the main reason I chose the Kaiser over the S730, thinking I would probably use on-screen keyboard more than I have..but I guess thats just me :)

/Mac
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rwcozens:
Same here. Had my Kaiser for 3 months now and not once have used the slide out keyboard. The stylus works perfectly and with predictive text dont really need a keyboard.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] scottola:
I use the keyboard a lot for texting and surfing.

Because I can touch type, I find that the keyboard is more comfortable because I can use both hands, with the stylus it takes longer, because I'm just prodding away with a stick!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] icewhitenewyear:
Well comepared to everyone.. i use the hardkeypad umm ALOT! .. well i average 12-15 thousand texts a month and i love to txt ... i think i timed it... i type a text in under 10 seconds ( a full text with 160 characters) so for me to just use the on screen keyboard i think it would pretty much be impossible

Thats just me =)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gabriel31337:
I use keyboard for text and mail messages generally. Not having it, I would be sad :rolleyes:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] redsrule2500:
How is that even possible?!?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] redsrule2500:
Um, no I use it for any internet/texting/office type stuff. I never use the on screen keyboard unless absolutely necessary for a few words.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gabriel31337:
he's cheating :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cashn:
i like the onscreen HTC touch keypad every now and then when i just need to type out a quick message, but for those lengthy ones the hardware keyboard wins every time. i just find the keypad to not be as reliable and annoying that you have to check what you actually wrote so much. with the hardware keyboard i know that what i typed got put onto the screen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] p51d007:
I use mine only 10-20% of the time. I come from using a PDA for almost 10 years & I'm use to using the stylus. For really short messages (which most of mine are), it's just easier to use the stylus. If I'm sending a long email or doing a lot of pocket word things, I'll use the keyboard.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] phan10m:
the only thing I don't like is that its harder to hide texting in class because of the slideout keyboard compared to like a flip phone where u press the buttons like 3 times for one letter
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GSLEON3:
Hard walking & using the keyboard????

Well...I guess some people have a hard time chewing gum & walking at the same time too:p

Really, It's much easier to type while driving with the slide out QWERTY :eek: so I don't know why walking would be any different.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cuboosh:
i use the keyboard nonstop.. i dont believe in SIPs when u have a slideout!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] laakness:
Resco came out with a nice keyboard yesterday that I like a lot when I have to type single handed (in car...yes it's bad, I know..but it's only quick yes/no answers) :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rmgfitness:
I type a lot using the tilt and live in NYC. I find the on screen keyboards (like cooteck's) are great when I'm standing on the subway or walking and only have one hand available. With that said, I still find the slide out keyboard to be faster and I tend to try to use it if I have longer e-mails or things to type.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] notrhj:
Bought it for the slide out keyboard but find I am using it less and less.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] outphase:
I use pocketcm quite a bit, but I like the slide keyboard for the more complex, longer emails.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] beufford12:
Where do you go to watch south park on your phone? I interested. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CrozB:
Whoa! Thanks for pointing me in the direction of the Resco Keyboard:

http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/keyboard/default.asp

I have been hunting for something on par with the i-Phone keyboard. Finally something with a full a keyboard that works with my fat fingers!!!! I too feel like I have forced to use the slide out keyboard. Coming from a Treo 750, it is a tremendous burden to take the time to slide and wait to rotate the screen. Plus, one handed operation is next to impossible.

Thanks Again
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Kalwren:
If I'm only typing a few characters or a couple words, I'll use the on-screen keyboard.

If I'm doing email, SMS or anything that requires several words, I always use the keyboard. The keyboard works well for me and it's one of the reasons I bought the device. I text a lot, so I like the keyboard option.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yetisimo:
I have a used Verizon Galaxy Note 4.

I can't turn on the WIFI or the Bluetooth.

Nothing happens when you tap the buttons for either of these.

So far, I opened it up and detached and reattached the 2 cables for wifi and Bluetooth . This did not resolve the problem.

It also appeared to have a custom firmware on it so I used odin and installed the latest original firmware but it did not solve the problem.

I was wondering if it could be the charging port board or the Bluetooth and wifi cables but I have read that some people had to swap the main board instead.

A couple of other unusual things,

If I go to settings and tap "System Updates" it says Software update is temporarily unavailable "

Also, if I boot to recovery mode it says "Installing system update" and then says "No command" and finally goes to the menu.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhplap:
If you have data working, can you download this from the playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en and after you install and open it, scroll over to firmware and tell me what it says there. That will tell you what bootloader you are on. You should be on the CPD1 bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojoswagger1980:
I thought we got an update after pd1 that could he could potentially be on . I realize the bootloader didn't change but it may have gotten renamed to the appropriate firmware . That looks right (his device info) if it were stock updated
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhplap:
The information he provided doesn't show what bootloader he is on though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojoswagger1980:
Hey man I m not sure how far you've gone but I'd have to suggest a complete factory reset then wipe from recovery then reinstall via Odin (latest firmware down to bpa1 should all be usable if you plan on rooting you need to go back anyway . Either way your info is correct something is wrong with your radio flash either pd1 or bpa1 just to be certain the bug isn't inherint to your current firmware
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JediYeti:
Thanks. It says Bootloader version N910VVRU2CQC1

Well that looks right. I would take mojoswagger1980's advice.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JediYeti:
I think that's what I already did unless I'm missing something. I did factory reset and wipe and installed the aforementioned firmware with odin.

I'm new to this.

Are you saying I missed something?

should i try again with a different firmware?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhplap:
Could you provide the link of the firmware that you flashed with Odin?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JediYeti:
Ok.

Please note that this problem existed before I updated firmware.

I was hoping that updating firmware would fix it.

Can I get the link to the thread that file came from? I checked Paul Pizz's threads and didn't find that exact download file. It seems like that should have worked. Might have been a bad download. I would try again and if that doesn't work I would Odin back to bpa1. That's lollipop but that would give you a fresh start so you could unlock your bootloader if you decided to.
