I think I figured out my problem... I never did chainfires bootsig stuff.. so it wasnt using the right sig cause I went with the latest update from June its booting into OS right now :D
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Dimmizer:
looking at https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-stock-7-1-2-root-safetynet-ok-t3617347 it doesnt say to do the bootsigner till after all that stuff so it never booted OS

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Dimmizer:
idk what I did.. i think im screwed now.. the phone keeps rebooting and showing the Google logo and it says Powered BY ANDROID at the bottom now and when it restarts it says something about a ETX4 file or something.. its just stuck on the Google logo right now.. what happen? I rebooted the phone that's all I did.

in the other screen it says please press volup + down to stop RAM something

[Ramdump] writing to ext4 file

HOLY **** im in bootloader... SCARED THE **** OUTTA ME
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bennyboy2120:
No you're fine. Follow this

When you reboot wait for the flash and when the ETX4 command shows (its dumping because of partition layout)

Press vol up and down to skip. Then immediately after, press and hold volume down and power till you boot into boot loader.

You can A

Fastboot boot twrp and redo

Or B

Flash all with stock

Reminder, if you flash a rom, or Super SU. and or Kernel always flash the signer. If it's already signed it'll prompt you to abort but always flash

I'm having the same issue. Do I need to format data? Is that a must? Also should I just flash the May image or start with April and install ROMs?

I decided to try Android O. That said I can just install the May or June image and then enroll in the beta program? The image will set me back to stock correct?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bennyboy2120:
No. If you go to O or went and want to go back you must follow the steps Android O changes some partition arrangements that put a boot hang on twrp you must format with partitions in fastboot then install a stock image
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bossei:
To clarify, you're saying if I go from O to 7.1.2 I will need to format. My real question though is whether flashing May image will allow me to install O.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bennyboy2120:
As long as it's may stock enrolling the device should install as any OTA would.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] GuestK00351:
Hello,

today my sister noticed a reflection while taking a photo with her HTC 10 in a dark room with one bright light.

So I checked it with my own HTC 10 and the same happened.

It looks like the light is somehow reflecting in the lens.

I don't know how to describe this, so I took a photo with this reflection.

Is this normal or a problem with the lens?

My HTC 10 is one year old and the HTC 10 of my sister just a few months, but both have this problem.

Anyone else noticed this?

Thanks.

hi, can you boot in masstoragemode and dump few partitions?

before update, make full dump via win32diskimager
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] TeddySo:
If you can have your phone recognized by PC in any mode, there's a spark of hope, but be warned that I take no responsibility for any damage that may occur (and it may occur since you are installing a software that's made for final products on a prototype):

I strongly recommend you to perform a full ROM backup if possible to be able to get back to this version if things go horribly wrong. If you can't do this, you may consider enrolling in Windows Insider program (which may allow you to get new builds), or perform a software RM Code change - most recommended- (check here: thewincentral.com/get-windows-10-mobile-redstone-on-older-lumias-using-an-app-now-uses-same-mod/)

You might not find a ROM corresponding exactly to that product code (because it's a prototype) on the internet, but you can download any Lumia 950 XL Firmware you'd like (check this: www . lumiafirmware.com/ser/RM-1085).

Once you've downloaded all firmware files, use the following tool to flash the firmware onto your device: androidmtk.com / use-windows-phone-image-designer-tool

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] TheMadKing:
A couple days ago I received a new update for the HTC Sense Home update, version 9.14.929638, so I naturally assumed that this is the update to the version that the U11 has, and there are indeed some small improvements and changes there and there. But as I watched a review video of the U11 on YouTube, I noticed that the Sense Home on the U11 had what I've wanted the 10 to have for ages. An option that allows you to change the grid size away from the small 4x5 that the 10 has, to something more like the Pixel, 5x5 I believe, or anyway, it allows you to have five apps horizontally.

Is there any chance that the 10 will receive that option sooner or later? Or is there any way to get it even if the HTC never brings it?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] tomahaka:
The option is there now. You just have to change the display size to small
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] TheMadKing:
Thanks!

But is there really no way around it? I mean, I know that the U11 has a bigger screen, but it doesn't look like the size of the display there is set to small.

Which is kinda disappointing, because the 10 and other phones like the Pixel have roughly the same size, and yet the pixel has a bigger grid size by default. I don't see why the 10 isn't able to do that by default too, but that's probably already nitpicking. I'll see how I can manage it with the small display size.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] ludovicien:
I've given up going for this. Small display size means text is too small for me to read but the huge icons in four columns. This and the average battery are the only things I don't like about this phone.

Hello,

i just received my Nillkin 3D CP+ Max tempered glass two hours ago,

and guess what? it was damaged 10 minutes later because of my casology vault 1 case!

i wonder what should i do to protect my phone's screen from drops?

any ideas about Anything compatible with that case i should use to protect my phone?

seems like all glass protectors are the same with the cases , also other soft protector isn't designed to protect the phone against drops

what should i do?

Honestly i'm giving up! :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Tiongkia:
I break 3 tempered glass screen protectors with small 0.5m drops. Reason is different from yours. Due to our edge screen, temper glass will get cracked easily.

For your case, u should look for " case friendly " screen protectors. Find those which does not cover the edges or/and full screen. Can be tempered glass, PET or healing verison.

I tried without screen protector. The conclusion is very nice screen but gorilla glass 5 is NOT scratch proof. I got some minor scratches.

In Singapore, we have plenty in physical shops, and online shops like q10sg and lazada etc. selling mobile phone accessories. So i have no links to share with you. Just search for some " case friendly " screen protectors.

Ps:

I wasted about sgd100 on screen protectors. Hahah

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] wingzfan:
Ive spent over $100 on screen protectors for the S8 (whitestone dome was $45) and not a single one has worked. The amount of money Ive paid would have paid for 9 months of Samsung Premium care and with the free month Id get 10 months of insurance which is longer than Ill have this phone. Yes Id still have to pay a $99 deductible but Id have a perfect phone in 24 hours if I break it vs no insurance and a box of useless screen protectors.

Ive been able to return all but one protector so Ive decided to focus my money on insurance and peace of mind knowing that when it breaks Ill have a new one.

Skip the screen protectors and get insurance. The headache is just not worth it. If the scratches get to the point of bothering you, start carrying the phone naked. Eventually you're going to need to file a claim.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Praetore:
Oh yeah, I should've mentioned -- I've got a Spigen Neo Hybrid and it slips on/off without any issues and works with the protector.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] pv24:
I've had the same exact issue. I've bought the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case (perfect case by the way, I love it, had the same on my Nexus 6, showcases the back of the phone while protecting it just as well as the well-known neo hybrid case). I knew that the tempered glass screen protectors won't work with it well and I didn't want to waste my money on them. I looked for something different. I ended up buying the official screen protector for under $10 (you get 2 for the price) (this one, only for S8 instead of S8+: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/accessories/official-samsung-s8-screen-protector-t3600373 , model number is Samsung ET-FG950CT).

I thought it might fit with the case. But when I came home, after a while I realized that this isn't gonna work. So I was deciding what to do, return the protector? But then I'd have to find another one, which might be long and expensive journey. I didn't want that.

So I grabbed my scissors and started to cut the protector carefully. There was not much I could lose. I cutted it to the point where it doesn't interfere with the case, but covers pretty much the whole display. It isn't the most elegant solution, but it works and I am satisfied with it. And I still got one screen protector to repeat the process in case this one ever gets damaged :D
