[Nexus 6  General] anterus:
I had pixel 2 xl, absolutely hated it. Screen is bluish at a tiny angle, rounded corners, dim screen, expensive as he'll, crappy aspect ratio, and when you tap with your finger in the middle section of the screen - phone makes hollow sound. Wait till pixels are $200, perhaps only then pixel hardware disaster will be worth it. Got Nexus 6, looking forward to it. Optical image stabilization with decent software is what makes such terrific pictures possible.. First gen pixels do not have OIS...
[Nexus 6  General] BootloopedMillennials:
The original Pixel doesn't need OIS. It has a big sensor and pixels. Better HDR+ algorithm too.

Nexus 6- 5.867 mm, 1.12 μm

OG Pixel- 7.81 mm, 1.55 μm

It's able to pull in more light without having to go to super low shutter speeds. OIS can't help the Nexus 6 in this battle. The sensor isn't nearly as good. Yea it's possible to take decent shots in low light with the Nexus 6 but it'll require manual mode- meaning more effort.
[Nexus 6  General] anterus:
If pixels do not need OIS, why was it added on second gen of pixels? OnePlus 5t also has large sensor, but its pictures are crap anytime the hand shakes tiny bit.
[Nexus 6  General] darklordofthesith:
I recently upgraded my trusty Nexus 6 to a Pixel 2 xl and can honestly say, it was the right choice. It's easier to hold in one hand and so far, not having any of the issues I've read about. The bluish tint is not as bad as I thought it would be but is still there. It's the first google phone that I've bought right after it came out. Great phone!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] billu:
Anyway of doing this?

On Huawei phones this is possible and is a great feature to compliment the slide fingerprint sensor to reveal notifications (which note 8 has).

I have looked for any apps which will make this possible but to no avail.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] apprentice:
It might sound like a useful feature to you, but personally I would worry about accidentally tapping the sensor twice and erasing my notifications. On Samsung phones you just tap the "Clear All" button at the bottom, easy enough really.

--
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] billu:
Must admit never had that problem. Once the phone is unlocked, your finger should never head towards the sensor, never mind tap it twice. Lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] willcor:
In my case my options are either

to ask Bixby...

to show...... Notifications , Quick Tiles etc.

Otherwise if you don't care for Bixby,

with the 3rd party app "bxActions"

you can remap Bixby button

My configuration is

One button press, " go back"

Two buttons presses shows Quick tiles

Long button press, show Notifications etc.

Bottom line

there is other ways, just as convenient.

Good luck

I have a bootlooping LGH790 thats out of warranty. I just so happened to find someone near me selling the international version LGH791 with a cracked screen but working internals. Is it possible to just swap mainboards....plug and play. I'm not in the states so I don't care about losing some signal compatibility.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kastik4:
i don't think it will cause any issues cause everything important is on the main board everything else is like "modules"

a guy who had the same issue send it to a shop in china to fix it and he got an unofficial upgrade to 4gb of ram you could pm him to see if he can give you details in order to send it there
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBawse93:
Thanks. I've been keeping an eye on that post but has anyone other than the OP sent their unit overseas? I know the only contact info was a username to some messenger service. It would be great if a repair center in the US/Canada could replicate the 4GB procedure.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Jdelacrix:
So I have an Honor 8 FRD-L04 that I was trying to root today. I flashed TWRP and all was good. Until I tried to install SuperSU using TWRP. It said my data partition wasn't able to be found or something, I can't remember. So I did some quick Googling and tried some fixes (changing the partition format to FAT and back to EXT4, etc). This just screwed it up even more. So here's the scenario:

*Can't access ADB anymore, doesn't show up in devices

*Can access fastboot, however:

I usually get "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)" when I try to do any commands (bootloader is unlocked). Because of this, I can't flash extracted .IMG files.

*eRecovery tells me "Getting Package Info Failed"

*Don't have access to TWRP anymore

*Have tried multiple firmwares using the dload method, either they can't install or simply do nothing

*I've tried Huawei Multi Tool and got the following output:

*I've tried using the dload method by first installing the rollback package (which actually installed), and then installing the actual firmware. But of course, the installation of the actual firmware failed.

I've probably tried a few other things, but I'm just so frustrated I can't remember. If anyone can suggest anything else, I'd greatly appreciate it.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] itisiryan:
This is really bad. :( The solution to your first problem was to simply remove encryption by formatting data. :(
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] sonicscrewup:
I'm going to cover the basis here, as I've seriously screwed over my phone before but recovered.

If you managed to get the phone responsive with the rollback package try flashing the EMUI 4 package.

If that doesn't work, plug into the computer and press and hold the power and volume down buttons to get into fastboot: unlock oem if possible

let me know if that gets you started.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shravansp24:
i was in a similar situation and this method worked! connect the phone to pc in switched off condition, press power+vol down and get into fastboot and then oem unlock, install twrp and tried to installed the zips.. worked and phone booted!!

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] hassanjavaid8181:
You need to flash stock recovery ..flash rollback pkg and the have to flash desired firmware which ever number you want to flash....

For custom ROM you have to be on 350 or under firmware number..

You have Indian variant??

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] hassanjavaid8181:
make a all partitions twrp backup of your stock rom first..all partitions

the then extract b350 which you have downloaded with huawei update extractor(its an app you can download from google)

then flash stock recovery which you have extracted from b350 and flash it via adb fastboot..

then downgrade to b350 by following the guide which i send you..

do some research when you feel its ok to do so then do it.

You did wrong steps buddy...

All you had to do is flash downgrade pkg...

The flash b350 firmware..simple

Via dload method..

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

Now download b370 or higher number full firmware ..and flash it to make your device back to life...

You can also use erecovery for that process..

okay now tell me exactly what tools and how to flash this thing

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Eremitus:
Which Windows do you have? Have you tried MSMtool in safe mode? Or disabling Driver Signature Verification (any Windows after XP). I have got my phone so messed up that it was showing many lines with red "failed" text nearly on everything. No OS, no recovery, no boot, I think even modem was failed. This screen but I had way more fails :D https://forums.oneplus.net/attachments/win_20160928_21_31_49_pro-jpg.459494/

As long as you can turn your phone off and on, it's doable. But you need to do that USB plugging + volume up thing while phone is totally off (you can hear Windows making bling when you connect it while pressing volume up, but phone itself stays screen off). And there shouldn't be anything on the screen before/while MSMtool do its job.

You can try different USB ports too.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] purplepenguin:
Hahaha yes...... That's why I made this post though! It SEEMS like it should be possible to recover from this since fastboot commands + bootloader work! It SEEMED like it would be easy to recover from if anything went wrong... But, here I am.

Oh yeah forgot to mention ~

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

Test mode for the driver signing is enabled. That part of the process went totally fine with BIOS and installing stuff, etc.

Also, shot in the dark but might [MENTION=6143932]Funk Wizard[/MENTION] have any ideas? Sorry to call out for this
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Eremitus:
Hopefully someone knows better how to solve this. For me the MSMtool part is always the hardest part too, usually it finds the phone, but throws some strange "Sahara communication failed" error. I noticed that even different USB cable can be a problem, but since your Windows finds "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" I guess that's not the case. Does it say something after that "Qualcomm 9008" -thing? For me it shows (COM3 or COM4 depending on which port it's in).

btw, I messed up my phone in nearly similar case, flashing wrong firmware when using leaked H2OS ROM.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] purplepenguin:
Yeah sorry again for not being more clear lol

It's with the stock DASH cable

Tried multiple ports (but no USB 2 ports hmm)

Unfortunately it just doesn't show up in MSM at all, even with hitting 'enumerate' button multiple times.

Also tried starting the tool BEFORE device plugged in as well as after

This is what Device Manager shows (attached) but just nothing in MSM all the way up & down

If I find a solution I'll definitely put it in OP for others
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Eremitus:
Hmm, ok.

Stock dash cable works, so that part is ok. Also usb3.0 ports should work too, atleast for me. So everything else seems to be ok except the MSMtool itself :confused:
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] volldez:
Try different cable, bin there done that!!
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] jshinn1:
I hope you find a solution, since my experience sounds similar to yours Ill share it and maybe you can find something to help out.

I was exactly where you are for about 3 hours last night.

Boot would always get stuck at the splash screen. Could boot into Fastboot, tried using the Skipsoft tool to fastboot flash a stock image but it kept failing.

As far as the Unbrick Tutorial goes, I know the first thing I kept messing up was thinking I needed to press the power button while holding the volume up and connecting to the PC

Also when I tried to manually update the driver on "Qualcomm 9088" it said it was already up to date.

Then I just ran the MSMTool it flashed 6.0.1 back on my phone and I was back in business.

Im sure this is the guide you followed: Here

I found another on the oneplus forums that is essentially the same but goes into a little more detail in the steps: Here

Since I was back completely Stock including Recovery I went ahead and sideloaded OB16 to get the firmware and modem then went about rooting, unencrypting etc...

Lost a few days worth of files but I'm back running LunuxOS Oreo right now.

Good luck I know how you feel. :good:

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidman807:
I have a Galaxy S5 (Verizon) SM-G900V that's running stock rooted Lollipop. Safestrap is on here, but yes, the bootloader is locked. Other than going to Marshmallow (and losing root), are there any custom ROMs (I'm looking for speed and stability) that this phone can take? Or am I stuck with stock, which means I'm stuck with Lollipop if I want to stay rooted?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbsc:
My choice is this one without root for CID11 or full-featured systemless devbase for CID15.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidman807:
Thank you. I assume I use safestrap to install on my rooted stock CID 11, but on this new one without root won't be able to restore apps from Titanium. Are there any other alternatives an 11 can use and keep root, and if I try one can but change my mind can I restore a backup in safestrap to get back to rooted stock?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbsc:
You'd better use a single thread for similar questions. There's a nice SM-G900V section too.

1. Yes.

2. You're limited to a stock signed Verizon-Samsung kernel, not to a stock ROM. You can (in theory) install any ROM that can use a stock signed Verizon-Samsung kernel but even a kernel from SM-G900F will not work.

LOS uses it's own kernel.

TWRP uses it's own kernel.

RR uses it's own kernel.

Root on 6.0.1 and above needs kernel modification.

These won't work.

If Phoenix can use a stock kernel (I don't know), it will work.

3. You may want to have a look at this thread: https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/help/getting-safestrap-loop-t3601977

I don't usually do it myself but it should be possible.

It's not an easy way and there are some logical traps on it.

So think it over before the action.

4. Locked bootloader does not prevent modem updating. It's definitely possible. You can simply flash a modem part of stock firmware in Odin.
