[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Jestre:
OTA force update via Beta status

Didn't find this thread until today... after I already did it.

Was waiting for the update until today the 10th of October.

Chatted with google tech support yesterday about the update and was told to wait and it was a full staged, queued rollout based on IMEI, also this will be the new norm.

Google also indicated that "Check for Update" will NOT bypass the queue, won't update to the latest and will indicate "Your system is up to date" even though it is not since a newer version has been released. (Error not Feature)

I made is 15 hours then tried something that worked.

Check for update failed and said September (...007) was the latest.

Since I was previously enrolled in the beta I unenrolled. Success! had the update downloading within 30 seconds.

Re enrolled for next time and good to go.

This will be my new procedure since a staged rollout for so few phones is lame.

Hi guys is the verizon model pixel.xl has all the same features with the unlocked pixel from google store? Same updates and wifi calling?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jbresee:
My situation is similar to the original poster, with a twist.

I've the Verizon Pixel XL, bootloader unlocked.

The update failed to install, but it put the phone in a wonky state. Cell data is disabled, home button no longer works.

Rebooting and putting it in safe mode didn't resolve the situation.

Of course, I'm travelling and now don't have my trusted google maps for nav!

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Horgar:
New to Google Pixel. How do I delete - w and keep my data when flashing an update? I see constant references to it on these forums but cannot find a guide to do it. October update is here and I want to keep my data. Pixel, Oreo rooted with magisk 14.2 and TWRP 3.1.1. Many thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Tulsadiver:
Download the October file. Unzip. Open flashall.bat inside you'll see a command line with a -w in front. Back that out (delete it). Save and now it is safe to double click and update your phone. If on Linux, it is in the flashall.sh file.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Horgar:
Finally managed to get to a pc. Can see the line in flash all.bat with - w. Do I just delete "-w" and that's It. I don't delete the whole line?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Tulsadiver:
That is correct. -w means wipe

Don't forget to hit save button!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Horgar:
Done. Thanks for your help. Lost root but everything else kept. Including substratum theme. But that's fine, took the opportunity to go back to SuperSU. Makes me feel safe.

I think the problem I had was using free winrar. Didn't seem to have the option to edit the run me bat file. Had to download winzip 21 day free trial. Not sure what I'll do when that expires. But thanks for all your help [MENTION=5346465]Tulsadiver[/MENTION]. Very much appreciated. It's what XDA is all about.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Tulsadiver:
Agreed. I believe 7zip is free and I also use peazip and it is free

I recently encountered a problem with my S6 Edge plus out of the blue. I had my phone charging when it suddenly restarted and began going into a charging boot loop, then after into a normal boot loop. My phone was not rooted,it had just began doing this :crying: . I tried many things such as flashing stock firmware in hopes of fixing it, but it continues to boot loop. I am at the end of the rope and have no where else to turn.

Seriously, how can we help you without information?

What's your model variant of p9lite? (VNS...)

What's your rom?

You have modified your android system?

What's your manipulation?

This "bug" is new? Your never able to install apps?

You try install app with play store or unknown sources?

You have try to install app with ADB?

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] :
Try to install an apk using ADB.

Connect your device to your PC, install drivers using Hisuite.

Enable USB-debugging in developer options.

Confirm authorization prompt on your phone.

In a command prompt window on your PC execute:

adb devices

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] sigekarhu:
I factory reset my phone to wipe all personal data and make it as new again. But as soon as it turned on again, It displayed the Huawei logo as always, then the logo of my carrier, and then got stuck in this weird screen (see photo) where nothing i press or swipe will give any reaction.

Tried the hard reset by pressing up and down volume and power at the same time. A different screen appeared for a second mentioning EMUI and below Installing update 5% and then suddenly an error appeared (see second photo).

Please dear experts here, let me know what is going on... I love this phone and was very happy with it until I decided to the factory reset which on other phones always helped me get original performance back.

EDIT: well this forum wont let me post links as a new member, i guess that includes images. so let me try like this

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] benjamen50:
No idea why but it's showing the smart cover lock screen when its supposed to only show with a Huawei P9 smart cover that is closed on the screen.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] sigekarhu:
oh so you're saying it's showing the screen as if there was a cover on it? that would make so much sense because i've had the display replaced just a day before... so maybe they didnt do it right and now the phone has some pressure on the LCD and thinks it's a cover?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] benjamen50:
Yes, exactly as you said, it is thinking the phone has a smart cover on it.

How the smart cover works is phones is that they have a magnet on the smart cover that where if you were to put a magnet at the exact spot on the screen it will trigger the hall effect sensor (The spot where the phone would be told that the smart cover is closed).

Yeah sounds like something went wrong with the screen replacement but it's rather rare for this to happen as it would require an magnet to trigger the smart cover sensor.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] sigekarhu:
so weird... i hope they can fix that issue it's still not working but i will bring it back today. thanks for explaining how the smart cover works!

do you know by any chance on which part of the screen those triggers are? or that trigger magnet, if there's only one?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] taynox:
did you manage to resolve the issue? i currently have this problem
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] vampirian:
smart cover works with magnet. One of the quick fixes is to take a magnet and pass it over the screen. As i believe because im working for huawei they send us some devices and seems like the microphone or the speaker was moved. Those two have magnet and so it conflicts with the smart cover. Try as i said to pass a magnet from the screen and see if that would fix it. I am going to highlight That, This is happening due a hit, drop or misplaced speaker or microphone.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] taynox:
im not using a smart cover and i cant get onto my phone because it shows the screen that the smart cover would show if it was on. if only i could get onto my phone somehow and turn the setting off:crying:
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] vampirian:
Read again what I wrote.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] taynox:
magnet didnt work
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] vampirian:
then you are going to have a factory repair because its either the mic or the speaker in a bad position and its activating the smart cover since both of them have a magnet in order to work.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] mbrian27:
Hoping for some help, I've searched but can't find anything.. In order for the phone number lookup feature to work in Google Dialer, WiFi scanning has to be enabled, which is fine, but causes unnecessary battery drain. Is there any way around that? BBS shows WiFi on 100% of the time with WiFi scanning enabled. I thought about trying to use Tasker to enable WiFi scanning when Dialer is opened, but don't want to get too involved with it if it won't work. Any other suggestions? Not really familiar with IFTTT, but what about that?

Edit: The reason I put location access in the thread title is because as soon as I grant location access to Google Dialer, it turns WiFi scanning on in Google settings.

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] GiammyA7X:
Hello, I have a MediaPad M3 (BAH-W09), I unlocked the bootloader through Huawei, i tried to flash a TWRP recovery and i got this

C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
target reported max download size of 531628032 bytes
sending 'recovery' (24652 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.778s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.318s]
finished. total time: 1.102s

I think i messed the recovery because i cant boot into twrp and everytime i try to boot into the device go into a sort of bootloop and the only chance i have to go out is to boot into fastboot. So I can boot it in the normal way and into fastboot but i dont know how to flash the stock recovery or a stock flash through fastboot. I have EMUI 5.1 and android 7.0. I saw many model of Mediapad m3, my question is if the firmwares/recovery of the other models are compatible with mine. Thank you
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] thm.:
Hello GiammyA7X,

Thank you very much for your PN.

I am new at the XDA forum and I hope I can help you with my small experience.

Is it possible for you to get into the factory reset menu (pressing VOL+, VOL- and POWER buttons together)? Maybe you can try to do a force update in this menu with downloading the factory firmware to delete the twrp?

I also found the MultiTool application: https://xdaforums.com/honor-8/development/tool-huawei-multi-tool-team-mt-t3523923

Maybe you can give it a try, too.

Which Build number do you have? I bought my BAH-W09 in China with the Build number BAH-W09C233B227 and I would like to get a European one. I found a BAH-W09C100B12 FullOTA firmware with FirmwareFinder (I am not sure if it is the European one). When I installed it with force update a error is occurred and the C233 firmware is booting again.

Best regards,

thm.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] GiammyA7X:
Hello, I'm glad that my PM helped you, by the way i fixed it: I downloaded stock firmware for my device through Firmware Finder and i extracted the Recovery.img and flashed in fastboot and after i made a Wipe Data/Format Factory. Now i have stock fw and stock recovery, the problem is i cant find anything about a custom recovery or root for BAH-W09 and no one seems to know about. I made several try flashing twrp and twrp m3 greatslon but nothing work. I have EMUI 5.1 and Android 7.0, my build number is BAH-W09C1000B022.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] thm.:
Me neither. Maybe the only possible way is to compile the TWRP by ourselves.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] techntechtx:
I have an sm-g925v that w as on 6.0.1, started bootlooping after it went dead and was charged overnight. I figured flashing it to the latest os from sammobiles would fix this, but it did not.

The flash was successful, but wouldnt boot past the verizon screen, so I wiped cache, no avail, same thing. So I factory reset it. Now it gets to the verizon screen and reboots. Exacly 1 minute and 10 seconds every time. HELP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Blaze9:
Did you ever figure this out? My phone is doing the exact same thing. I charged the phone 100%. I flashed the latest 7.0 FW. I did recovery, etc. Only when it gets into android (Upgrading apps #/#) that it restarts and then the loop continues.. this is quite annoying.. Does anyone else know what's going on?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] Lif3mau5:
Hi guy's,

I love Stock Android and the current design (API and UI) of pixel smartphones - since Google has really done a lot of work with a lot of style in it.

My Generations: I came from HTC HD2 (Android, Windows Mobile, Windows Phone 7, Ubuntu Touch ect.)... next smartphone was the Galaxy S3 LTE (I flash the official Google Play Edition with a must for change the IMEI ect.), next was the HTC One M8 also converted to a GPE and my before last smarthphone was the Mi 4 LTE (with Windows Phone 10). Always the good alternative to the smartphone interested me. Now it interests me whether someone of you the bother and work dare to build this ROM (http://en.miui.com/thread-825694-1-1.html). The Nexus Experience: http://www.nxrom.us/mi5s.html

This seems to me to be somewhat too imprecise and has not the perfection that Project brings with it. Simply it is not a pureness Pixel/Nexus-feeling (the live wallpaper did not run, the Download Manager is missing, the setting menu is not 100% original etc. It lot is missing here and there) ...

I would like to help, because for me the build up of ROM's when it comes to the interface/UI and a bit around compiling the API, is an easiness for me (-:P

I would look forward to like-minded and teamwork. The whole thing should simply be a pleasure for the general public and be financed without money, even to learn about it :highfive:
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] duckstardeluxe:
I have a 5s with unlocked bootloader, installed Ressurection Remix 7.1.2 together with Nova Launcher (to enabled gestures) and Pixel camera port.

If you take away the amoled display og the Pixel, the Xiaomi 5s basically is a Pixel spec'ed phone for 1/3 of the price. If you want even more stock android feeling then go for LinageOS?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] mesziman:
I fully agree .
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] Pyntux:
+1 :)

I really do not understand who would even buy Mi A1 which is in same price range as Mi 5s... Mi 5s have better hardware on first place, than even if you need stock rom, there is always LOS which is official for Mi 5s. I rest my case... :D
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] Lif3mau5:
Guy's I mean the Pure Pixel Experience, everyone here who have a Stock Pixel with Oreo or Nougat in his hands? My friend have a Pixel, he work hard to get this phone but I do not agree to spend much money, only to own a Stock Clean Rom although it is cheaper. You can't compare the Nexus Experience Rom (I link in my last post above) and also LOS or any other ROM not with the original Pixel Rom. It must nevertheless be possible to build a Clone for the Mi 5s like the Mi 5 (see here: https://xdaforums.com/mi-5/development/rom-pure-nexus-t3578407).

I will ask the developer there, if he with help of me and other users from XDA to build a clean ROM. Still thank you for giving me suggestions, I really appreciate your time!

Have a nice day -cheers :)
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] pee-wee:
I'm using opengapps to bring pixel launcher, assistant, and whatever google facility on it, but remember that none can clone pixel exactly the same. In case you won't get unlimited original sized photo backup, only real google pixel has it.

If you want pixel like experience you can flash LOS or whatever pure aosp then flash open gapps. You can adjust which to install or remove stock los apps using gapps config, go to opengapps wiki for it.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] Lif3mau5:
I mean the System UI and Settings don't look or have the same features egg., example the most AOSP Rom's for Mi 5s don't have Ambient Display Settings or Reading/Night Mode. Also the Google Live Wallpaper are not working and not included in the current GApps. The Rom's missing apps, for example the wallpaperpicker.apk ect.

Okay I must build my own Pixel Experience to get nearly a perfect Copy/Clone of an Pixel /XL. But yes, I will try my best to get a better Experience Rom and share my TWRP Backup here on XDA. Included Magisk and some Kernel Tweaks. The last Time I get a big battery drain with the current Nexus Experience Rom cauz I have enabled the Fingerprint Scan-Fix for Xiaomi Mi 5s (search on XDA for it). I find out that the 4 Cores working eveytime but with the current Miui 9 Rom on Idle, two of the four Cores from SD821 sleeping and the other 2 runs with 300-500 Mhz. That's a nice Kernel Management in Idle State and I tweak it :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mambomn:
Just received the ATT Tilt, but I am having some issues with the top of the screen showing a thin rainbow bar. Looking at it closely, it appears that the today theme does not fully cover the top area of the screen and this is where the rainbow bar sips through; this happens in all the other windows as well (apps, settings) and even when I rotate the screen, the rainbow bar moves position to coincide with the screen orientation. I tried switching to different Today themes to see if this rainbow dissapears, but no luck. It's strange that this effect does not happen on the splash screen (everything is one color), but immediately appears once the windows mobile 6 menu loads. Below is an image of a today screen with the similar problem.

I would appreciate any suggestions on how to remove this darn bar....it's driving me crazy!I am hoping that this is not a screen defect and can be adjusted by some settings change.

[Acer Iconia A500] B2WJ:
As first reported to this community in May, I have an Android tablet that refuses to boot -- period. I mean I've tried every known combination of button sequences, plus the reset pin hole, plus attempting to connect to a PC. Yet through it all my ACER Iconia A210 (a follow-on related model to the A500) freezes on the ACER logo screen with these dreaded words in the upper left corner:

Entering boot menu mode

Booting failed

Bootloader vjB-3fb8d45: Starting Fastboot USB download protocol

The initial XDA Developers suggestion was to "download the stock firmware and rename it update.zip then just put it in the tablet and hold the volume up button while it is booting." But "there's the rub" -- it

doesn't

boot. So I can't reach “Booting recovery kernel image" in order to select "apply update from external storage." Or for that matter, I can't apply

anything

.

Following XDA Developers' response I decided to bring the tablet to an electronics recycler. But unintentional procrastination brought three likely culprits to mind:

1. A broken recovery partition, preventing the device from booting. The good thing is that fastboot is still alive. So perhaps with help from XDA I can find some way to flash the recovery.img contained on the downloaded ACER zip file, "OS_Acer_Acer.AV051.A210.RV07RC02.PA.CUS1_A41J_A," a.k.a "Update.zip" downloaded as "OS of A210 with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Upgrade SOP."

Also there were once some packages available to flash an Android tablet from a PC and the packages were called EUU [numbers].zip or .exe. But where might I still locate such packages, which were available to service centers only?

2. A corrupted ROM chip -- the not so good thing. ACER technical specialists report having seen in the past "many" Iconia A2x0, A50x, and*A70x with issues similar to mine and most if not all were never recovered. Sometimes the suspected culprit was a corrupted ROM, a very bad hardware issue.

3. A corrupted image on the SSD. Perhaps the A210 is trying to load the Update.zip image from a USB, so it can install a good image to the SSD. So I put the Update.zip file in the root of a FAT32 formatted USB drive and connected it before trying to boot. And, of course, "Booting failed," etc., etc., etc.

What do you think, folks? To the recycler? Or is there a potential solution I'm not seeing? Obviously an Android 4.1 unit is well past it's "sell by "date, but I hate tossing out any electronics item when I'm not sure it's really dead, plus it would be nice to keep around to root.
