As long as you've got a good backup and Odin then yeah, a bad boot is usually just a softbrick, though as with any modding there's always the slight risk.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TENN3R:
Hi guys, I searched a bit but I didn't find anything.

My question is: since pixel has A/B partition system, normal zips doesn't flash. I tried look in existent zips but they are aroma or kernel zips which makes difficult to understand (at least, for me).

Can someone tell me how (or post an example empty zip) to create a flashable zip for pixel?

Maybe something to change is about /system folder and /system_root because they contain the same files?

I really don't understand, please let me know if you can help me with installer script, thanks.

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] magoooood:
I'm impressed with all video reviews about the Mate 9 and I was about to buy one for myself but I read by coincidence that the Mate 10 with EMUI 6 & Android O on board, hopefully, is on its way so probably I'll buy this model instead but one issue is bothering me with Huawei & their update policy. They said that their phones will get updates every 3 months approximately for the 1st year, then they will stop pushing EMUI updates but they 'll pass on security updates in the 2nd year. Source: http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/huawei-commits-to-24-months-of-security-software-updates-for-its-devices-875550

& tons of people are complaining everywhere about very slow updates and/or being left behind even with costly phones they bought few months ago!!

The question is: if they stop EMUI updates after 1st year for Mate 10, do they mean I won't get OTA updates for EMUI 8 & Android Q in 2019?

i.e. Can i still be able to visit their site and download official updates & install it myself manually through some official software? or they mean there will be NO updates at all? (i.e. I'll have to go through all the hassle of unlocking, rooting and installing a custom ROM?)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] bamfsig45:
Let use as an example the LG V20 "The first device with Android 7.0" released October 2016, And it's still on Android 7.0

LG G6 and G5 still on 7.0

Samsung S7 and of course S8 still on 7.0

unless you're using a Pixel/Nexus don't get your hopes up of timely updates from any OEM.

With that said, I'm confident the Mate 9 will get "O" but who knows when. Well I hope....

oh and wrong forum...

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] luyongfeng:
Do not worry about it. There are several ways to update your ROM. But my suggestion is that if your current ROM works well,

then no need to update it. Every update brings trouble to user, data loss, not smooth, bug, etc. so the best way is to find a

ROM work well, then keep it, do not update any more. The fact is the newer ROM, worse using experience. I do hope to

downgrade my Mate 9 to be Andriod 6, so I can install Xposed Frame, which is very powerful.

Anyway, Mate 9 is the best phone at present, it worth to buy. Do not be hestiate.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] tcchuin:
Newer update should not make the device worse. And if it does, the OEM f***** up big time. And in my past experience Huawei is doing exactly that.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] jnihil:
Both ridiculous advice.

Not updating your phone is bad from a security perspective, and blindly doing so without taking a full-backup is also suicidal.

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] hardeep:
Pretty much all Android manufacturers will be too slow to update.. or probably never will.. exception is Nexus/Pixel..

Had a Xiaomi Mi Max before.. the STABLE update is stupid slow.. DEVELOPER one is weekly basis, usually on latest version.. but can be buggy..

Bought the Mate 9 3 weeks ago.. and loving it so far.. especially its superb camera (which i feel is better than S8 ones and definitely better than Mi 6 which i returned after 2 days).. and big battery.. also its fast, comparable to Snapdragon 835 (on the Mi 6)..

If you got a good deal, go for it.. in my case, retail price was RM2699 (approx USD620) and i got it for MYR1905 (approx USD440) with free original flip case and glass protector and free shipping.. :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Derpling:
The Mate 9 is the best phone on the market atm, it doesn't have wow factor when you see it, but it will WOW you after you'll use it.

However, on recent updates(weren't approved by Huawei as far as i know, but released through Firmware Finder) the phone became laggy af, chrome and web browsing is slow and can't play tekken 6 at all, i had to go back to the safest and most stable update, B181.

As far as phone goes, it never slows down and it does everything just perfect, the battery is great at all times, as for updates don't expect much, though it isn't exclusive to Huawei, if you care a lot about updates, buy Pixel XL.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ikenvape:
I have to agree. My Mate 9 is absolutely amazing. Coming off the 3t and Pixel, I knew development would be next to nothing in comparison and was comfortable with that. As another user stated though, it's the security updates Im worried about. I'm still on April security patch. Other than r YouTube but I can't shake, the phone is flawless and the learning your habits feature is great! Here's hoping they don't skimp on the ir blaster for the 10!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ante0:
It's funny, because they actually release updates each month for almost all different regions. BUT they don't approve peoples IMEI so they never get the updates...
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] nchmaster:
hey if use vpn change region can get update ? My mate 9 l29c636b181 check np update always :(
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ante0:
I think you need to use a sim for that region (Asian in this case, not sure if it has to be any specific).

I bought my phone in Germany so I think I'd need to use a German sim to get updates. I always use the Hwota method to update though.

Mate 9 was never released in Sweden so I don't think I'll ever get OTA updates.

Hi again,

I can't believe no one had the same issue before as I couldn't find any help via search :(

I used this guide to unbrick my phone and install LineageOS: https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/kate-guide-install-lineage-os-locked-t3546154

I flashed:

1) miui_HMNote3ProGlobal_7.7.6_Firmware.zip

2) lineage-14.1-20170719-nightly-kenzo-signed.zip

3) Usual GAPPS micro

Kernel: 3.10.105-lineageos

Problem:

On the lockscreen my phone shows the message "Charging (24 hours until full) - wtf?

It charged 13% in 4 hours which is very unusual.

How can I fix this?

Thanks for any help!

Edit: I could flash Radon 5.1 kernel, but I don't have root access to change the settings.

Edit2: I applied for official unlock again haha

Edit3: Permission has already been granted after 10 minutes o,O

Edit4: Bootloader unlocked - again.

Edit5: Rooted, and installed Radon 5.1 Kernel. Let's see what happens :D

Edit6: Charging was still ****, so I changed the cable. Much better charging rate now. (but isn't mine)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireAlarmGod:
so my friend gave me a LG Aristo from metro PCS. I tried using the built in unlock app to unlock it but it just keeps saying that the server is unviable. I have no SIM in it as I do want to use metro PCS ( there service sucks A** because where I live used to be a giant granite slab and T-Mobiles signals get absorbed and I would get no signal) so I want to use AT&T as they're signals get through better. So is there some kind of app I can get from Google play (or elsewhere) to unlock the app. And it needs to be free. Or is there a magical program for a pc that could do the same thing. again for free. I am also willing to ROOT the phone if it is necessary.

So I just picked up a refurbished Sprint v20. It is currently at zv3 so i'll be able to use Dirty Santa. My issue is do I? I know there's no going back since there isnt a factory image for Sprint.

If you've unlocked, are you happy you did so?

Very happy. but im biased since i made it...

Bootloader possibly unlocked

So I just called Sprint and reemed them on how there bootloader practices are illegal and that this is an open source phone. Not an Iphone. My device is paid off ect. They supposedly are fully unlocking it as we speak. In the mid of a six hour phase I guess. I was told not to reboot during six hours. On ZVD firmware btw. If this does happen to get fully unlocked including bootloader ect., can I finally root my phone? I really hope so. I am running out of options.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] cnjax:
I wouldn't hold my breath, at most they may unlock the sim, the bootloader I doubt it
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mysticblaze347:
Well at around 4/5pm est. I am going to check. When I reboot it should tell me if unlocked right? If its not, then I will call again. I specifically told them bootloader and reasked. She said yes and that I will able to do whatever I want to with it. My network was already unlocked as well before I even called.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] cnjax:
Good luck, first time I've ever heard sprint voluntarily unlock a bootloader

Any news?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mysticblaze347:
Sadly I did not notice any difference. I got an Android update message a few times. That happens daily though. I will call them tomorrow. Had a few unforseen events happen that strained original plans. Either way this is bull****. They should not be allowed to lock an open source down. I am trying to get this taken care of. Hard fighting corruption.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Phoenix591:
Open source doesn't mean you have to have an unlocked bootloader. Open source just means you must be provided with a copy of the source code of the open source components (some parts are closed source), which LG has complied by allowing anyone access through this site.

Personally I'd be surprised if it's even technically feasible for them to unlock your bootloader.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mysticblaze347:
Ok...well anyway not being able to root is still garbage. Especially on a device that is paid off. I only pay for service.

Love also how - the variant is rootable and this one is not game. So should I be mad a Sprint or LG? Whos fault is it?Rooting is perfectly legal. Seems blocking it is just as legal in this case.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] cnjax:
You can blame Sprint, and Instead of spending so much time being angry and posting your frustration on here, why not just get another phone that you can root?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mysticblaze347:
Because this has the flagships that I want. Except root. Cant even find a rootable one to buy unless I get a non sprint phone. I am also not posting out of anger, but for irritation of companies thinking that thay can do what ever and we have to take it.

Was wondering tho, if I am network unlocked, cant I take to a different carrier and their firmware would replace Sprints ZVD one (cdma I know) , and then be able to root via that phone/firmware method?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Phoenix591:
If it wasn't for antirollback (all other firmware, except the h918 which has a different key so no other variant can flash it, is antirollback 0) you could, but the way it is you'd brick if you forced it on there.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mysticblaze347:
Wasnt meaning through Sprint (They are all lies). Listening to typed words is also brilliant.

I am fully aware that Sprint may possibly never unlock the bootloader. But they just need to quit lying. Happened many times. I am only still with because its cheapest. Only time will tell what results come about. I am not here to start toddler fights.

It would be possible for them to stop with ARB, highly doubt they will and even if they did, I think the V20 is done (I could be wrong). Lg held up on releasing Oreo. Now no need for further updates. My thoughts...not in stone.

Pixel Launcher OMR1-4113793 Backport for Android 6.0.1+​

​

​

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I'm boring and I keep posting the same thing over and over after each Developer Preview from Android O 8.0 releases... But I needed to do this backport for my SHIELD Tablet anyways, so I really don't mind sharing it here. Find this irrelevant and repetitive, feel free to close the thread.

So... Yet another time, the title says it all.

This is a quick (I spent 3 hours on it) backport of the Pixel Launcher OMR1-4113793, extracted from the Android O (8.0) Production release. I extracted the APK from the sailfish (Google Pixel) and tested it on my SHIELD Tablet, and as it wasn't working I modded it so that it'd work just fine on any Android 6.0.1+ devices.

I have implemented the Google's signature verification patch, as according to this thread so that the application doesn't Force Close on launch, as well as all the goodies from the Pixel Launcher ODR-4023749 v3 backport.

I've tested the application in my SHIELD Tablet running official LineageOS 13.0 nightlies, as well as in my Wileyfox Swift 2 with Android 7.1.1, and seems to be working like a charm with latest Google Play Services installed.

However, like last time I'd like to roll call all of you to please, test it and report back with any issue you find.

DOWNLOAD LINK

SMALI MODIFICATIONS

NOTE:

- DO NOT MIRROR MY FILES, please.

- The background color of the App Drawer won't look blue in Samsung devices, like last time, as I fixed it to look white.

- The apk, like last time, has been signed with my own key, so uninstall any previous versions before installing this one ;)

- Bloggers! YouTubers! If you post links to this backport PLEASE, be sure NOT to make mirrors of it, and,

it'd be awesome if you mentioned the original author in your blog posts

- ¡Bloggeros! ¡YouTubers! Si posteais enlaces de éste backport, POR FAVOR, NO lo resubais, y,
