[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] CovertLeopard:
Google is trying to scam people out of money.

I just received an email from Google stating that I only got $165 because my Google Pixel XL that was supposed to be valued at $400 was actually a Nexus 6P. Obviously I sent them my Pixel XL (I've also never owned a Nexus 6p), so now I am on with Google Chat support trying to figure it out. I gave them the IMEI of my Pixel XL (straight from the Google Store order history page) and they told me it's for a Nexus 6P.

Needless to say, I am raising holy hell until I get my money, and I will never use their trade-in program again. If you did the trade-in program, beware and pay close attention to the email once they receive your device. :mad::mad::mad:

I still have the box my Shamu came in. I'm a not do the trade in yet. I will ask around and see if someone wants to buy it first. I have 3 cases and one more nilliken tempered glass screen protector for it. Lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] omerc10696:
I had an issue with them too, I got an email saying I was getting $162 instead of $410 because my phone wasn't factory reset, even though I made sure removed my SIM card and reset it before I sent it in
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] galaxys:
Go after them for the $410 and don't let them off the hook...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] CovertLeopard:
I spent 2.5 hours on their chat and they had to escalate the issue to their "Trade-In Team" which is a separate company all together. Supposedly they will be reaching out to me in the next 24-48 hours. :crying:

My trade in package tracking is saying a delivery attempt was made last Sunday and that another attempt will be made the next day the business is open. Well it is now a week later and tracking still says the same thing, very frustrating.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] CovertLeopard:
Mine specifically says that delivery was delayed and doesn't even show as delivered to them yet, but they somehow have it and already evaluated it as the wrong device.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] omerc10696:
Definitely. Already sent them an email. If I get no response I'll call them in the morning

My nexus 6 had already burn in on screen ( I had it since it came out) and I only got $ 80 trade in value so no big deal. I shipped it in case and tempered screen protector. Also I took a pictures of nexus 6 before I put in in bubble envelope. Let's see how will they evaluate it.

Pixel 1 became Nexus 6p upon arrival

I have the same issue with trade-in program. My Pixel 1 became Nexus 6p upon arrival. It reminds me of similar issues happening when Sumsung did the trade-up for s8. I have been talking to Google support every day since October 31 and getting usual runabout "your issue was escalated". The support doesn't provide any realistic resolution, and what can be expected given that Google outsources it. It feels like common sense packed its bags and went to Albuquerque. I am considering recording my conversations with Google support "or lack of" and posting it on YouTube.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] canemaxx:
I got my credit for my pixel trade in for 350 and it was applied to my Google financing account 5 days after receiving my pixel XL 2.... If you have the email stating your credit will be applied soon , then you will have it in 7 days after getting that email.

Google trade-in program is a big scam

$335 the trade-in value of my iPhone 7 plus on Google store so I went ahead and bought Pixel 2 XL . My iPhone was like new... They've credit me $95 and refused to return my iPhone back. Google trade-in program is a big scam. I don't recommend it.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcsugrue:
Yesterday I went through the steps to install the OTA, everything was working perfectly, but I decided to go back to a custom ROM and downgraded to the MM modem and reinstalled a custom ROM only to find that my sim isnt recognized and wifi doesnt work.

I verified the sim is good in another phone, and there are plenty of wifi networks. I've tried flashing several different modems and ROMs and havent had any luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chenleo1992:
Probably you should look at files in /etc/firmware/, there should be several files starting with "modem". If not, the SIM will definitely not work. You can find the compressed files under /firmware/ and maybe try extracting them under /etc/firmware.

This had happened to me on LineageOS 14 and I reflashed the LineageOS zip.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
I have not tested it yet, but the official global ROM from 9/21 is apparently here.

http://bigota.d.miui.com/7.9.21/miui_MIMIX2Global_7.9.21_7f94ca393f_7.1.zip

This is not the fastboot version, but the regular 'updater' version. According to some users on the miui forums, it wasn't possible to install, but if anyone wants to try they're welcome to.

http://en.miui.com/thread-928181-1-1.html

I will be working to make a fastboot version of this. Really, it shouldn't be too hard to use sdat2img on the system.new.dat file, then fastboot flash everything from the firmware-update folder.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Update: I was able to flash it with fastboot.

Just use sdat2img on the system.new.dat and system.transfer.list files like this:

python sdat2img.py system.transfer.list system.new.dat system.img

Then flash the system.img, the boot.img, and all of the partitions in the firmware-update folder, using a flash_all script for reference.

It booted up fine. More details to come.

Thoughts after booting (will continue to update):

Many languages are supported, but only able to choose China as the region.

Comes with lots of google apps. Gmail, maps, youtube, drive, play music, play movies, photos, chrome, Duo.

Security patch is 2017-08-01. MIUI version is MIUI 9 Global 7.9.21 | Beta. No updates found in system update.

Fails SafetyNet at CTS profile match.

Overall: I think it's not necessary to install this one. It has the same bugs and issues as all of the other roms, but fails safetynet as well. The best choice is still EU rom.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] dustintinsley:
Nice to see, maybe we will see a new EU ROM now...
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Actually I think this is older than the EU rom.

Can i install the global rom without unlocking the bootloader?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] GodKingKnight:
Global ROM is officially released. Here is the link and instructions to install. Shouldn't need bootloader unlock.

http://en.miui.com/download-334.html
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dogtanians:
Doesn't work for me, says "Can't verify update. Other reason".

You need the Fastboot rom from here: http://update.miui.com/updates/v1/fullromdownload.php?d=chiron_global&b=F&r=global&n= and to flash the rom with this http://api.en.miui.com/url/MiFlashTool

You need an unlocked bootloader too iirc.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] GodKingKnight:
Sorry Please use VPN Chinese server in order to unlock bootloader using the MI unlock tool. Then flash ROM using MI flash tool.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dogtanians:

^ this tool will let you move from China to Global without unlocking your bootloader, just tried it and it worked perfectly.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kcc1982:
From what I read on the mi forum and Reddit the bootl loader still needed to be unlocked. Was that an old version and this new one does not need the phone to be unlocked.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dogtanians:
This version 100% doesn't need an unlocked bootloader for the Mi Mix 2, I'm not sure if the older version didn't work or not but this one does. I can't unlock my bootloader through Xiaomi until 3pm tomorrow UK time (72 hour wait) but I flashed the Global ROM today with no issues :cool:
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kcc1982:
Wow it worked. Strange though that the only region I have a choice in during the setup is China though even with the global stable.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Coffee Freak:
Yep, the tool worked. Bootloader locked.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kcc1982:
Could you pick your region?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] stephencwl:
This is really really useful. Just flashed from China ROM to the Global ROM with this tool without unlocking bootloader. Thanks a million.

The Global ROM is smooth as hell too.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Coffee Freak:
No, but I love Chinese food! :D
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kcc1982:
After I reflashed with the mi flashtool and fastboot US is available.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jackyca:
if your phone has been unlocked, you can use the fastboot ROM with xiaomi flash tool to do firmware switch, this way allow you pick more region you like like US.

[Android Head-Units] jay-red:
Hey guys, recently got an Android head unit for my 2008 GTI, and while it was working well enough for the first couple days, today the bluetooth suddenly stopped seeing any device. Nothing shows up in the bluetooth menu and it just searches endlessly. I did a factory reset, and surprisingly it not only fixed the bluetooth issue, some other stuff started working like the car info app. But the fix was short lived as later in the day the bluetooth issue came back, not able to detect anything.

I have done as much searching as I could, but it is difficult with how fragmented these Chinese units are, and how they are so similar but slightly different. I have read that it may be possible to flash different MCU versions but would like confirmation before i try anything. Here is all the info I can get about mine, first this is the one I bought:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XY2C1WC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Model: px3 (1024x600)

Android Version 7.1.2

Kernel version: 3.0.101+

MCU Version: MTCD_ZYC_v2.55_1 June 23 2017

CPU Arm Cortex A9

Any help would be appreciated, I got Android Auto working and its awesome, but not having bluetooth for calls is a deal breaker for me...
[Android Head-Units] jay-red:
I messed with the stereo tonight and got the bluetooth working again by simply pressing the small reset button that seemed to actually power cycle the device. I also decided to disable the backup camera mode as I dont plan on installing the camera any time soon, so I cut the wire labeled backup and that seemed to do the trick as now when it is put in reverse, it doesnt load up that blank screen. Strangely enough though, when using Android Auto through Headunit Reloaded, it still went blank when put into reverse, like it can still tell. And when the video comes back it had artifacts all over the screen, but only in that program.
[Android Head-Units] ikerg:
You only had to go to factory settings and set no reverse camera without cutting anything

[guide] how to make your own usb jig

If you’ve soft bricked your Galaxy S2 (and can’t get into download mode) or you want to reset the ODIN download counter (so no one will no you’ve rooted your Galaxy S2), or you just simply

want to remove the i9100 splash screen, you can make a USB jig to solve all your problems.

What is a USB jig?

USB jig is a simple circuit that allows you to reset the download mode and also get into it for Samsung smartphones (can work on other Samsung phones besides the Galaxy S2) just in case something goes wrong. On a soft brick, this can save your phone as it will enter into download mode.

So that, i came here to help me to find another solution.

In addition to that i have an arduino board, if its possible to turn it into jtag programmer it can be awesome.

i9505 4.4.2 driver deleted after flashing? > USB & WIFI does not working anymore :(

Hello,

I have a Problem with my S4 i9505. It worked fine with following settings:

Galaxy S4 i9505 (Vodafone)

Android 4.4.2 stock rom

rooted, SuperSu 2.8.2

Philz Touch 6.0.4.5

Flashed to 5.0.1 stock rom to try something out. rooted again. Got no success with a new app that I tryed out and flashed back to 4.4.2. BIG MISTAKE: I forgot flashing 5.0.1 first to remove root!!!

Finally I made a backup restore of my old 4.4.2 version by Philz touch and even a custom restore (efs). Propably I made a second MISTAKE: I made a data wipe AND a cache wipe under Philz touch. Was that a mistake?

After a few problems, I got it working again under 5.0.1 (restored 5.0.1 under Philz touch) but USB (also OTG) and WIFI does not working anymore! I think there are some drivers missing!?

Is there a way to fix it? :confused:

Or is my phone a very expensive calculator now?:crying:

[General Questions and Answers] redhonker:
I have found that my LG G5 /sdcard/DCIM has access permission of 0x770. I suspect this is the reason that video files are not visible when I connect it to my PC using MTP mode.

So I tried to change it. First, tried ES File Manager with root turned on and / mounted rw. However, properties of the folder does not have any way to change access permission.

So I installed Terminal Emulator and su to root. chomd 777 does not work -- it reports no error but the result is 771. chmod a+rwx or chmod o+rwx does not work either.

How could I change the permission?
