The change is on their side somehow. The version doesn't go up when it happens.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tttuning:
I absolutely hate the update....looking to see if I can get bixby on my xl
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] springy:
Had it for two days and now reverted back to old. Don't know what Google is smoking on the new design. The UX is poor.

All the new interface gives you is the news. It doesn't give you cards based on context and you have to click on the button on the top right to switch.

Then when you are done instead of swiping right to get to your home screen you have to press the home key on your navigation (as you are actually going into the Google app).

I prefer the context cards like "upcoming" better than just the news.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cjoedaniel:
This new design is terrible. The old version was so much better and relevant. Now I'm a few more clicks away from the info I need.

Those who have done the "change language trick" has the ui ever updated?

Besides this is how they should do a Translucent UI
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jerryhou85:
With old UI, I can swap to "done" with a Google Now feed card, but with this new UI, I cannot swap to "done" but have to click the 3-dot button and then select "done with this"...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tdimarzio:
Agreed. Serious downgrade in this case.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jschill31:
Hello,

Thank you for the downgrade info...The new format sucks! I just did the fix on the first page and will report back if it reverts.

Well that sucked, it reverted right away. Looks like the only way to make it stick is to disable updates after downgrading. I have downgraded my Google app to 7.9.21.16 still using English USA and it is holding...swipe away!

Cheers
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Alien987:
This is the worst Google Feed update since its inception. Tried downgrading to 7.9.21.16 and disabling updates but the new stupid UI reappeared anyway.

Has anyone found a solution to revert to the old UI?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Born<ICs:
Translucent or not I can't get Feed to stick no matter what. "Can't reach your feed at the moment". Any Solution that sticks?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Alien987:
Well I double checked and what I used was 7.9.21.21.arm64 and I can't find 7.9.21.16.arm64 so I tried one more time now with 7.8.22.21.arm64 and it seems to be sticking so far even after a reboot, let's see how it goes.

Edit: Forget it, the stupid UI came back after a day.

I would try uninstalling updates and clearing app data, if it still doesn't work my last resource would be resetting cards preference under the google app settings, if that still doesn't work then I can only think that it's a network problem or an issue that only a hard reset could fix at that point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EsperaKing:
Hello everyone (Sorry I'm french from Benin so excuse my faults)

I tried to flash the TWRP recovery on my Verizon S4 from Terminal Emulator. But when i tried to reboot into recovery, the phone stucked in a Startup failed screen. But with some chances, i was able to boot my phone back and run my system.

Now i want the stock recovery of my VRUGOF1 firmware so that my Recovery partition table will be filled with the stock one. Please help me to deal with that...

And also there is something very weird about this phone. I bought a used S4 Verizon from someone. But in the phone, it is said that this is the s4 i9500 model but the bootloader version is I545VRUGOF1. So I'm pretty much sure this is an Verizon S4. Am confused. The phone is unlocked so that it support carriers other than Verizon. I was planning to flash the stock latest lollipop update I545VRSGPL1 and see if my phone will come back to his normal state. But the clue is that i'm afraid of losing the carrier unlocking.

Please, help me....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
First of all, you can't flash TWRP on an S4 with OF1 firmware because the bootloader is locked up.

If you require the Verizon S4 Stock OF1 firmware, i have them all on the my File Host Account here (just unzip the file):

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=158750

Good Luck!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EsperaKing:
Thanks you [MENTION=4828250]Ibuprophen[/MENTION], I will download the ROM from your link. You're right about the TWRP recovery. But, what do you think I can do in order to flash a custom recovery on my phone so that I can install the S4 S8 WizCyan Rom on my phone? I thought there was an loki bypass method since 2013 that was used to bypass the bootloader lock.

Also, I was asking if flashing the stock rom of the phone won't re-lock the carrier.

Thanks you again. :
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilgerryan:
Root then flash ROM with Flashfire. Bootloader is locked, custom recovery cannot be installed. Yes, it probably will "re-lock carrier". Root methods are in the General Section of this forum.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EsperaKing:
Thanks you bilgerryan for replying me.

So, I can flash the S4 S8 WizCyan ROM with FlashFire? That's good to know. I'm already rooted with Kingroot.

But, about the carrier lock, I learnt somewhere that it's most likely an hardware lock, so if it's unlocked once, it's means that it won't re-lock after flashing or anything. Because, before this phone, I bought an S4 AT&T i337 which was unlocked and I restored it's Stock rom with odin, afrer that, the carrier was still unlocked so it's worked with an non AT&T network. I was wondering if it'll be the same with this one too (S4 Verizon i545).

Thanks you again...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilgerryan:
You'll need SuperSU instead of KingRoot to use Flashfire, there's also a guide for that in the General section of this forum.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EsperaKing:
[MENTION=4310299]bilgerryan[/MENTION] [MENTION=4828250]Ibuprophen[/MENTION]

Okay, thanks you.

So what are you saying about the carrier. Should I restore? Or not?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilgerryan:
You really don't need stock recovery, I wouldn't if I were you. Anything that can be done in stock recovery can be done through Flashfire.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EsperaKing:
Okay [MENTION=4310299]bilgerryan[/MENTION]

1- The system sometimes restarts bt itself and after restart it's stuck on com.android.system has stopped, so I thought that restoring it would fix those problems. Also the phone show model i9500 and bootloader i545, I will attach the screen shot.

2- I tried to replace king root with supersu with SuperSume app, no sucess. I also tried with terminal emulator, it shows failed and it uninstall king root. And permanently pop-up com.android.kinguser has stopped until I restart the phone. After restarting root is gone.

So I want to restore in other to restart all this from fresh stock firmware. But if you have any other ideas, please let me know how to just get root with supersu and use flashfire...

Thanks for replying. ... :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilgerryan:
In that case, you'll probably have to restore stock with Odin and start over.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EsperaKing:
Okay, I will restore in a few minutes and let you know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EsperaKing:
Hi [MENTION=4310299]bilgerryan[/MENTION] and all xda members.

I restored the stock rom with Odin and everything goes fine. I rooted then replaced kingroot with supersu succesfully.

The problem now is that after installing supersu, I installed FlashFire and tried a backup of my system. The screen goes black with some blank text. After that, there is nothing else that happens. My phone will stay stucked on a black screen with a blue led on on top. But nothing happens, I have to pull battery and reinsert in other to power on my phone. I can't use Flashfire.

Hope you reply me....Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilgerryan:
You have to use v.53 of Flashfire. The newer versions don't play nice, also a backup with Flashfire is useless, if you have a bootloop you wouldn't be able to use it anyways. You just Odin stock again if you have any problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EsperaKing:
I'm installing Flashfire v53 right now, so I will make you know if it's working or not. Thanks for responding.:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EsperaKing:
It has worked like a charm. Thanks you very much. This is the last step of setting my phone. I'm going to install the S8 S4 WizCyan Rom to my phone and let you know. It should work cause I have an Snapdragon S4. I will let you know. Thanks you again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EsperaKing:
[MENTION=4310299]bilgerryan[/MENTION] [MENTION=4310299]bilgerryan[/MENTION]

I flashed the WizCyan Rom and it's finished succesfully I also managed to install add-ons from aroma file.

After reboot it's failed to load with software update failed. Kernel error. I don't why it's not working. The installation goes succesfully:(. Is it the aroma add-ons that I have installed? Or it's just that the ROM is not compatible with the S4 Verizon.

I don't know how to get that ROM work for me. I'm restoring stock with odin right now. I don't know if I should try again because I learnt on a youtube video that for some people, it might failled with a soft break the first time when we use Flashfire to attempt installing a ROM so we should just restore odin, wipe data and cache from recovery and restart the process and then it'll work.

Thanks you...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ninjasinabag:
That means you didn't follow the directions.

Go into flashfire and select the ROM you're gonna flash.

Select the of1 kernel tar.

Select the of1 WiFi fix.

Select a full wipe. (System, cache, data) and hold down on the wipe so you can swipe it to the top of your list.

Don't flash the addons.

[LG K10 Questions & Answers] bmfc187:
Hey all, just got this phone, I had originally "done some research" when I was at the att store, and found root instructions for the lg k20 PLUS (missed that plus part). So I bought the phone and now im finding out there's currently no root method, which means, as usual, I have to at least try. I warn you, I'm no fulltime dev, so don't get too excited, im the kind of guy that still needs plenty of help with this stuff, but I'm setting up a dev environment and digging in.

My question right now is, has anyone been able to access the bootloader? I read thru the k20plus root topic a bit and they say to use

#adb reboot bootloader#

or hold VOLDOWN and plug usb while powered off.

Nothing seems to bring me to a bootloader.

#adb reboot bootloader#

reboots the device and I assume it tries to boot the bootloader and fails, because windows chirps as if it's been disconnected, then my device proceeds to boot up normally.

Holding VOLDOWN and plugging the usb makes the phone show a splash screen momentarily and then switch to the powered off charging screen.

Has anybody been able to access the bootloader?

[LG K10 Questions & Answers] hookey17:
Still waiting here too. ??
[LG K10 Questions & Answers] ElRongMcBong:
What u mean with "bootloader" are fastboot.

To get into download-mode hold Vol+ & plug-in usb

Fastboot may for u arivable but u have to wipe ur recovery partition first.

Then reboot into recovery...but wait !

It's look like freeze..plug-in usb and hit on ur PC "fastboot device"

Welcome !
[LG K10 Questions & Answers] bmfc187:
Not sure if you're replying to me, but I meant bootloader. Fastboot is the executable on the pc that is used to communicate with the bootloader on the device. I am trying to access the actual bootloader on the device. My fastboot is working fine.

If it is M255 (AT&T) and it is paid, use AT&T's unlocking page or call them.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] holypuma:
Hey man, I just didn't wanna clog up the other thread. The OP gets a notification for every post, and it's also against the rules.

So...

1. Do a full wipe. Data, system, Dalvik, cache

2. Flash stock based rom. OBAR is what I used to grab EFS backup

3. If calls and data aren't working, go to updates in settings and try to do a profile update. This should restore your carrier.

4. Do a EFS backup in recovery.

5. Full wipe

6. Install new rom.

7. Do full rom setup.

8. Reboot into recovery and restore EFS

repeat step 8 until calls work in the new rom
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] solson20:
yea no problem, makes sense.

OBAR Rom and kernel or just the rom?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] holypuma:
I used schwifty kernel, but I doubt that makes a difference.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] solson20:
i flashed the dirty santa stock rom, did the activation each time i restarted it. After about 8 restarts and trying to activate, i finally have data.

I did try running these commands, although i got "no space left" when running it. However, the next reboot, it finally activated.

adb shell 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1'

adb shell 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2'

adb reboot

Going to back up EFS, and go from there. Will update shortly.

hi

before installing Tom rom I have decided to dump my original rom in case I needed to put it back.

anyway I have been able to dump the 4 Raw files. now I see that in the Kaiser section there is a guide on how to reconstruct a rom to make it flashable and I wonder if I can do the same with my Niki.

any expert could pls confirm this?

thanks in advance for your help.

cheers:)

edit: I ve just noticed that there are some other threads about this subject...anyway if someone can confirm the right procedure would be great. thanks
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Thyraz:
Yeah, also wondered about that Kaiser rebuilding tutorial.

Talked to a few people over PM who have the same problem.

But even in the Threads nobody who knows more about flashing/ROMs seem to be willed to help out with a fre informations. :-/

Still confused about the needed baserom in this thread.

-Is this available for Niki? (Where)

-Why do i need it / why can't i rebuild a rom ONLY with my phone and need something like a bsserom?

-if i use baserom from a english device, what will happen if I use with my german RAW files?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] eroG:
well..nice qustions..to which obviously I cant reply..hope someone will be so kind to help us out.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] therealholg:
a baserom is nothing more then a normal rom, just put a rom you like, together with the dumped filen in the kitchen folder. maybe ruu needs some information from the rom file itself, which are not present on the device.

what you find on your device is just that what you dumped. (but after hardreset)

.. i know that this not matters for you anymore. but eroG needs to know.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] eroG:
well yes I defenitely needed to know these things...

now, if it is not of too much trouble for you, where do I find a baserom and is there a guide on how to do it...just to avoid stupid mistakes while doing it?

thanks a lot
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Thyraz:
So, from baserom there are not much information used. (Perhaps Header information for Rom file, or something like that)

My new ROM is (more or less) the same result as on my device?

And Baserom isn't a own file format, i can use the wwe-rom postet here in the forum?

thx for help :)

i've read alot about how to dump rom from device and how to get dumped rom back to device.

the more i read i got confident how to dump rom .... did it .. and now have my 4 raw files.

on the other hand the more i read about how to get dumped rom back to device ... more and more i got unsure how to do it.

so please all senior posters and specialists - can you please post a cookbook on how to get it back to the device ?

thanks ! alot and keep up the good work here !

Sackbauer, I totally agree with him.

I have 4 Raw files for a Norwegian ROM, but how do can i "transform" them into a acctually "flash" file?

also keep my fingers crossed that someone is able to check radio rom and possibly enable gps and wifi ...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] therealholg:
let me try first:

- download this kitchen

- Copy your part01.raw and part02.raw into the BaseRom Folder of this kitchen

- Copy a Nike RUU_signed.nbh into the BaseRom Folder (e.g. tom_codons rom just open the. exe with winrar and extract the file)

- Open !Begin.cmd, press 2 and do everything, what is prompted

- Open !Cook.cmd and do what is prompted

- when HTC Rom Tool is opened press Rom_Builder and ... right from System. Then Choose os_new.nb and press built

i wrote this without testing again. so if i missed something tell me, please and i'll try to help.

sounds good !

will try it later this evening and will let you know ...

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] sackbauer:
omg .... it appears that i just "cooked" my first rom out of my dumped files from my niki .

thanks therealholg for your guide !! thats what i was looking for.

the only thing which makes me a bit nervous about reflashing my just cooked rom onto my device is that during cooking it sometimes says "file not found".

but after ignoring these messages i have a nbh file which obvioulsy was not in the folder before !!! ;-) yeah

so, now i know how to revert the process but i am to anxious to try it as this is my only niki.

lets see and wait what others say about the step by step guide of therealholg ...

in anyway - you made my day therealholg
