[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] niko26:
I had flashfire installed but the last status I knew was that it doesn't work properly on the pixel xl. Are you 100 percent sure that it works properly? I am away from home for the next two weeks, and a bricked phone would been aot of trouble.

Why am I even spending thoughts on updating? Because this stupid phone is constant trying to download the latest OTA and is killing my data plan :(

Is there anything I need to know for using flashfire on the pixel xl? Is there any recent documentation / how to / tutorial?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] prot-:
Can anyone confirm this ?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
Dont do it on the road. I would never touch this phone without access to my own computer to flash ot back with a full image.

Have not done it myself but have seen multiple reports ot is working.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] niko26:
Thanks, I don't want to update it on the road. But as said... It's eating up my data plan (on roaming!). 1.6gb in the last two days trying to download the OTA update. And I can't force it to ignore the update. :(
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] niko26:
NO! Don't do it!

I have tried Flashfire to install a OTA zip and I got stuck in a bootloop! Either I totally messed up (though I can't imagine this - there is not much to mess up when using Flashfire) or it simply does not work correctly with the July update. Maybe it has to do with the boot signature?

Unfortunately it was not working for me. I had to reflash everything from scratch. Thank god I had a decent internet line and at least a Mac with me.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeinekenAmstel:
Hello! First off, i have never rooted my LG G4 since i knew the phone was full of bootloop issues etc and i wanted to avoid exactly what is happening to me right now. I returned my phone to the service center last Friday because the screen's right side stopped displaying correctly (many colorful pixels with a perfect vertical border). On Tuesday they contacted me claiming the charge to repair is a whooping 244 euros due to it not being covered by warranty. After a lot of talking with LG over phone they claimed that in order for me to repair my phone free of charge i would have to provide them with proof that i have not rooted it (i dont know if that is even possible). Soon as i got it back in my hands (obviously denied the repair) i installed a root checker apk which stated my phone is not rooted (apparently thats not considered proof). However, the service center provided me with a photocopy of what their machine indicated, that i was rooted and told me that if i could return the phone without it being indicated as rooted i can repair it free of charge. I live in EU and i dont know how i could pressure them to repair it as is but the only other option i can see is flashing a factory stock firmware. What do you guys suggest i do? If i have to flash the stock firmware are there any dangers if i get the correct firmware for my model (h815 with the v20h-eur-xx software)?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadScientist:
no flash stock firmware. there full of crap sometimes anything to save a dollar and make a dollar. id love to see this photocopy proving u rooted it

bootloaders not unlocked is it?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Levent2101:
there is an section in hidden menu which provides when root files were detected, not sure if that data is kept in OS section of the nand or like an fuse like thing embedded in the soc
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeinekenAmstel:
no, bootloader is locked. They also denied any affiliation with the developer lg website until i pressured them more over phone, where they said they cant know if the bootloader website is official and because its not the only way to unlock the bootloader and root, the fact that i have never entered my imei there does not prove anything...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadScientist:
see thats bull crap g4 only way to unlock bl is official no unoffic methods exist i dont think
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeinekenAmstel:
barely managed to enter the menu due to half the screen missing but i could not find any info on what you mentioned since auto orientation wont work for me on that menu... :-/
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeinekenAmstel:
however, it seems rooting is possible without unlocking bootloader, so i guess thats what they meant... Isnt there a way to get root working via recovery?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadScientist:
it may be i dont know about ure exact model

but without bl unlock flash orig firmware overwrites all changes done most at least unles u go flashing other partitions

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------

only time the fuse should be tripped is bl unlock if im not mistaken

---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ----------

again flash orig firmware should overide all on non bl unlocked device
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeinekenAmstel:
this is the photocopy, just cut out IMEI and the name of the service representative in case it was confidential or anything
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeinekenAmstel:
So this should be the firmware and i should flash with LGUP? https://xdaforums.com/g4/general/kdz-firmware-v20h-switzerland-2016-09-08-t3457824

I mention the model and running firmware at the end of my original post
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pen²:
under European law, you should have the option to go to your dealer/phone company and demand that they have it repaired. I remember reading that signs of unlocked bl/rooting only affected claims where software could have damaged the phone (like overheated cpu). I don't see how software could kill the display, though.

So, maybe try this, but inform yourself if you are covered and, if you are, explicitly state to your vendor that you want it to be fixed under this law instead of warranty (which is not required and may be subject to arbitrary preconditions by LG)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeinekenAmstel:
I told them that its obviously a hardware problem, to which they agree... The issue is, they claim its a mobo issue that was most likely caused by rooting and unless i can prove otherwise, thats how it is...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadScientist:
why not go to lg direct?

unless there is complete indisputable evidence of root they cannot deny your claim.

plus lg suposedly has extended waranty to 2 years again if bootloaders never been unlocked flash stock firmware they will never know

tell them to do there studies if ure not on a rootable firmware anyways no way that u could have been rooted

unless u bought the phone used and someone else did something major to it?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeinekenAmstel:
I talked about it directly with the bobs at lg customer support and they claimed the above.

phone was bought in a sealed box... Thats what is weird... I flashed the official v20d firmware kdz via lgup software update. I would love to flash a tot file since its prolly more thorough (pure speculation) but it seems theres no europian 6.0 tot... Anyway, now i installed the other official firmware (phone started spamming me with "update... stopped working and that google services stopped working) i factory reset and it seems to be running smooth. Will try taking it to the service center again tomorrow and see from there... (every visit not covered by warranty costs 7 euro....)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pen²:
how old is the phone?

If it is less than 6 months after buying it that you notified them of this error, they have to prove (not claim) that the error was caused by you.

http://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/shopping/guarantees-returns/index_en.htm
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeinekenAmstel:
sadly i have the phone for a bit less than a year...

In the end i flashed the v20d software version and took it back to them. They accepted to repair it under warranty due to it not being rooted. (They also suggested to me from the service center to flash a stock firmware... Thankfully i had used xda in the past but a casual user would have it tough...) Now im waiting for them to receive the mobo from LG... So thanks everyone for your support :)

P.S. Woman at service center insisted some playstore apps root your device. She knew 2. When i asked she replied ... Buybox and superuser. I just smiled and left :P

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apophus:
My 14 month old daughter got a hold of my phone and the fingerprint scanner asked me for my backup password. I proceeded to enter my password of 25 years and it told me i was wrong, it then gave me the option to use my gmail account to verify and unlock, i did that got in and replaced fingerprint with password protection. so here i am thinking everything is great, wrong. phone locks and i put in my password that i just changed it to and it tells me im wrong and now it does not give me the option to verify with my gmail account. Ive tried searching how to get into phone, suggestions were Android device manager which only locks phone and when i tried to change the password it said my phone was already locked and that the password would not be used. so the other suggestion was Samsung Find my Mobile but i have never set up a Samsung account. woe is me. Besides a master reset is there anything i can try? Thanks for all the help.

- My phone came back still broken

- Called B2X and they "assured" me that it would be fixed the second time

- I sent my Lumia 950 to B2X for repair again...

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ajmartin001:
Hey all

I have a galaxy s8+ rooted with magisk. I am a fan of Google pixel camera and have this installed on my other phone, a oneplus 5. On both devices the camera works apart from slow motion which crashes the app.

I managed to get the pixel camera working on the oneplus by copying a modified media_profiles.xml designed for that phone. However I tried the same file for the Samsung and rebooted but then the phone gets stuck on the Samsung splash screen and I have to recover the rom.

I understand that I need to modify the XML above to get this working but not being particularly experienced in this stuff I'm stuck. Or is it that Samsung have modded android so much with their own particular brand of android that even the XML won't work?

Any help appreciated!!

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trace.Oneil:
Hi all,i hope my question is posted in the correct place. Something i am rather curious about and constantly wonder about is my device's screen resolution. Now i know that the Z5 Premium came with a 4k display,what im not sure of is why my device (Z5 E6653) has the "ability" to record 4k video clips,if it doesnt have a 4k capable display?

Am i wrong in my understanding that shooting in 4k is useless because my device is not capable of showing 4k resolution anyway? Or is my device 4k capable and if so,why cant one then manipulate the display to use a 4k resolution setting permanently? Please could someone enlighten me.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sceryavuz:
You capture a 4K video and watch this video on your phone? Actually 5.5 inches display is useless for 4K.. Watch on TV or a projector..
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reza_v:
You should watch the 4K video (which you recorded with your phone) on a 4K capable display, like a 4K TV. When you play that on your phone,it'll be downscaled to 1080p. So if you don't have a 4K display, it would be useless to record 4K videos. Except if you want your videos to have the best quality for future use.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] ftoz:
Hi, i flashed lauretius wm6 rom with radio 1.17 to my jasjar. It works good, but i cant use wmodem. I use wmodem via usb cable and usb xp driver. I thought that is only some mistake in rom, but i tried another roms (nncoung, ivan) and the problem is same. When i install xp driver, windows said, that the file cannot include information about this hardware.

It work fine with radio 1.14.1 and old pdaviet rom, but i would like use newer rom with acces trough wmodem to inet.I have no idea, where is misstake. maybe in radio, maybe in driver, maybe in version of wmodem, maybe in me.

Any ideas?

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] oldwolf613:
I got PushBullet to send files from my old S4 to my U11. I successfully x'fered files fm my HanDbase & got them installed, but w/Mobisle Notes app, when I tried to accept them onto my U11, I got a popup telling me the files were not HandBase format & could not be (& were not) saved.

I need to get 3d party data files w/lots of info onto my fone.

Where can I go to get other file types to be registered on my U11 to accept files, in what Settings section do I have to change,; or what apps do I need to install?

BL still locked & not rooted (still in 14day return period & don't want finger pointing if probs on fone come up - i.e. this morning I turned on the fone & the automatic setting for Night Mode did not "kick in" to turn Night Mode" off, even tho the time for that to have happened- daylight hrs had long passed. I hope it doesn't happen again tomorrow- that Night mode doen't turn off once daylight hours kick in.)

If root(SuperSu) is installed in system(most likely it is) it won't be gone when you do factory reset. And as long as you have TWRP recovery, you need only few clicks to get root.

Hoping someone here can help... In one of the rom forums there was discussion about the correct modem being used for nougat which got me thinking about updating my modem..

I believe I have an mm modem on my G920F and have been trying to find the nougat update for my region (being Ireland). So far all I can find is Germany, Italy, Spain and Bulgaria. I was hoping someone might be able to tell me:

1. Can I back up my existing modem in case I mess up the flash of a new modem?

2. Will one of the above modems be suitable for my region (I. E. Could I just use the German modem here in Ireland)
