That only gets you into fastboot. From there you will need to select recovery, then you will arrive at the dead android screen, at which time you will need to hold the power button, then while holding the power button, tap vol. up to enter recovery.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ZachPfeffer:
Verified instructions

Here are the instructions I pulled from a Google forum:

1. Press & hold the Volume down button. While holding Volume down, press & hold the Power button until the device turns on. You'll see the word "Start" with an arrow around it.

2. Press the Volume down button until you highlight "Recovery mode."

3. Press the Power button to start recovery mode. You'll see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark.

4. Press & hold the Power button. While holding Power, press the Volume up button once. Then release Power.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] pcrs:
I tried this with 3 different wm6/6.1 roms, but everything works except the phone. I cannot unlock the sim card. It complains "unknown sim status", I know this sim card works, because I tried it in another phone. I have a vodafone dual sim card and if I swap them around, it always works in my motorola phone, but never in my wizard 9100.

Here is some info

IP/SPL2.26 2.26

gsm 0.2.47.11

11.0.1.0

rom version 11.0.0.2 WWE

protocol 4.1.13.24

I am pretty sure my sim lock is removed, but to make sure I reran the lokiwiz, which did not seem to matter.

Does anyone have a clue ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] amarelo23:
Same deal to me, and with a Vodafone SIM too :(

The unlock code works and then when I type the PIN, the "Unknown SIM status" is always appearing.. grrr

If anyone with a vodafone card found out the solution, please let me (or us) know ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] parlato_edoardo:
Here vodafone sim works fine. No issues of phone, pin or whatever. Did you try with another vodafone SIM?

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kulturmensch:
Hello,

i'm on OOS 3.5.8 with root. A long time ago I deleted all the bloatware on the stock ROM (Like google Chrome, and some other apps i cant remember) through TitaniumBackup (not freezed but uninstall...). Now after switching from SuperSU to Magisk i still can't pass Safety-Net. I think this is because of the deleted stock apps, right....?

Is there a way in re-installing these stock apps? Would it work if I just re-flash the OOS or would i lose all my data? I really dont want to restore the phone to factory. Do you have any tips? Thx!

PS: I also installed new Sony Keyboard as a System app... could this be a problem too?

I reverted changes to my hosts file aswell.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barni090:
No, it's not a matter of the bloatware, Google just keeps updating safety net and Magisk has to find a new workaround. There is a fix right now with a flashable .zip. https://www.google.de/amp/s/xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/xiaomi-safetynet-fix-t3600431/amp/
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] badbob001:
I want to find a way for my phone to automatically know when I turn on or off my car while I'm in it. I will use tasker to turn on and off my mobile hotspot when I'm in the car, so my echo dot ,connected to aux-in, can play music.

My car doesn't have bluetooth, so I have been looking for some sort of bluetooth device that will turn on and off with the car.

I don't want to use any type of bluetooth receiver since:

I'm already using my aux-in for my echo.

FM transmitter is also out since I'm switched to aux-in.

If I have the bluetooth receiver audio go nowhere, then I won't be able to hear my phone's GPS navigation.

I thought about bluetooth hands-free calling speakerphone devices, but the ones I've seen all use batteries, meaning it'll not turn off immediately when I turn off my car and will also probably need me to manually turn them on when I start my car. Anyone seen a batteryless version?

Are there any other bluetooth devices that run purely off usb power or off the car charger port?

I just tried the nonda zua smart charger that is suppose to connect to your phone when you turn it on. Only problem is that despite it showing up in the bluetooth device list, it doesn't seem to be a device that you can normally connect to. You have to install their app and the app somehow connects to it, even though the phone's bluetooth icon shows no active connections. Maybe the phone will only show a connection to devices it has supported profiles for. I can't even get tasker or android's smart lock to sense that the device is near.

Anything else out there? Is there a bluetooth input device that runs purely on usb? I have a selfie stick with a usb component that charges over usb and has an on/off switch, and I'm tempted to test if I can power it with the internal battery and have it turn on automatically when power is supplied. But I don't want to break my only selfie stick yet.

I suppose I can pair some usb-powered speakers to a bluetooth receiver so that I hear my phone over the speakers. Any recommendations? Of course, the speakers must not have batteries.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] badbob001:
Found this:

It's actually a bluetooth speaker that doesn't have a battery. No idea if it will auto-pair when usb power is on or if the lamp can be turned off.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] biggiestuff:
Can't you use an NFC tag on your car mount? When you mount your phone it hits the NFC tag and since you use Tasker you can set it to do what you want when you touch the NFC tag.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] badbob001:
I may not always mount my phone and it may just stay in my pocket. And I would need to remember to hit the NFC again when I leave my car to 'automatically' turn off the hotspot. I also sometimes forget to take my phone with me and was going to have the phone alert me when the car is off.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] biggiestuff:
How about an obdii car adapter? No audio and you get vehicle stats
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] badbob001:
I'll look into that. I need it automatically connect to my phone without the need to install an app. I don't want to face the same issue as with the nonda car charger, which requires the app to be running constantly to connect and it somehow can connect without android showing a bluetooth connection to it.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] badbob001:
I've decided against obdii adapter because I am unsure if android has a built-in profile to automatically connect to it without the aid of a third party app to constantly monitor bluetooth. And they are rather expensive, especially for the ones that are smart enough to go to sleep and not constantly be powered on and drain the car's battery.

There are some speakerphone adapters that don't use batteries so I'm going to try one of them and connect them to usb-powered speakers. Going from a Nexus 6P to a Pixel XL, I'm finding the speakers are now rather weak and adding external speakers will help with GPS navigation.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Weudel:
It seems to me the easiest thing to do would be to upgrade your car stereo. By the time you're done with all of these workarounds, it might be cheaper, too.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] muzzy996:
Either that or ditch the echo dot and use the phone to replace it's functionality. I'd go to an auto audio shop and see if they could install an ignition switch controlled power source running a proper Bluetooth to aux adapter and compare that to the cost of a new head unit.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] stargzrr11:
I used to use a Bluetooth ODB2 adapter (and Tasker) for this exact purpose.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] DeathmonkeyGTX:
W

This guy has the right idea, get an android auto head unit.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] badbob001:
Do they make car stereo units that can mix multiple sources like aux-in and bluetooth?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] AverageCanadian:
I've had a cheap ODBII scanner in multiple cars for years and never had a battery drain issue. I honestly can't remember if my phone auto connects to it or not, last time I tried to read from it I couldn't because the latest Android beta update broke the connection.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] DeathmonkeyGTX:
You're missing the point, android auto will do your music and satnav prompts over usb. No need for the echo dot at all.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] noidea24:
Rockford fosgate "rfbtaux" cheap reliable and will do what you need
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] sfetaz:
You can use an OBDII adapter for detection

You can set the condition to activate your task when its near the adapter

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kanetik.movement_detection&hl=en

I just learned they also have this app that should bypass the need for the hardware.

These apps are not free, $1.49 each. I can vouch for the bluetooth detection app, might try the movement one.

OK...you offered...I am thinking about purchasing the Huawei Ascend XT. In the specs (phonescoop) I noticed 16Gb internal storage with 8.4 "open" usage. That's 7Gb of factory installed bloatware? #1. Other than the Nougat O.S. could most of the bloatware be SAFELY removed #2. In asking that...is most of the bloatware Google and google support services?

One other item of question: I noticed and it very much caught my attention, in the specs it states: FM Radio-YES. Is this an FM receiver (local FM radio) or just Internet Stream FM?

Hey Madvane20.

I'm using stock ROM on B170. My phone only has 8.55GB of internal storage available. From the advertised 16GB. I only have 0.44GB left. I really don't have much on my phone. But as a result of low storage I can't have all the apps and games on my phone that I want.

.how can I expand the internal storage to be more like the 16GB as advertised. What's the highest amount you have available on your phone? Do you have more than 8.55GB on your ROM? If you do how much and link to ROM plz.

Because as you know we can't install aps on the SD card. Or do you do that?

Thanks
[Huawei Ascend XT Guides, News, & Discussion] divineBliss:
Uninstall apps you don't need that take up internal storage, use the storage manager to clear apps caches, move data including music, pictures and videos to micro SD, set apps to store their data in micro SD where possible. Can't do anything else that I am aware of. I usually have 1GB free internal storage after doing this and have to do it regularly.

RE: Madvane 20

First, you need to know that no matter what, there was

never

16Gb of memory. They (all electronic storage) "say"-advertise 16gb (or 8 or 2 or 64...etc) but in actuality there is only the nearest binary unit number closest to 16Gb. 16 Gb is actually 16.384 Gb or 16384 Mb.. Got you confused? OK, all storage is designated in "bytes" (one unit of storage) and bytes use the binary system when computing their size/storage capacity. Therefore an "advertised" 16Gb is only actually just slightly more than 15.9 Gb. If your not sure what I'm saying, use a conversion chart for Mb to Gb (or vice-versa) and remember that your dealing in the "binary" code. Then , on top of that, manufacturers set aside a certain number of "sectors" to account for bad/defective sectors that may occur when manufactured. Thus, it would not be unusual for 16Gb to actually only be about 14.7 Gb (or so) of actual usable storage space. Example...I have a "16" Gb pendrive that has 14.5 Gb of "actual" storage capacity on it. If the doesn't make sense to you, look up "How electronic storage works" (google-bing...etc..) Next, look up just how much "space" the O.S. on you phone occupies. Then, after deducting that number from the "actual" storage capacity, you'll be able to determine just how much "bloatware" you may have on the phone and you can -CAREFULLY- start eliminating some of those apps. This will open more "storage space" for personal use, (Mb's) on the phone. One last thing...you can put apps on an SD card. Now, that said, SOME SD cards are not "compatible" with certain phones and that may prevent you from being able apply the apps to the SD card. Some PHONES do not recognize the SD card as "internal" storage and thus, you have to re-format and change the SD card designation to "Internal". And a lot of "bottom-line" phones just don't have the hardware or firmware capabilities to handle this. Now, have I got you thoroughly confused? don't despair...you can easily look up all I've said and read and understand it at your pleasure.

Keep Pushin'

[Huawei Ascend XT Guides, News, & Discussion] WifiGhost:
No you don't have me confused at all. Thank you for the response Madame. Sorry for the late reply. Well I think today is the day I will finally root and flash a new ROM. As im tired of EMUI and no adoptable storage.

Can you link me to the ROM you reccomend? I want adoptable storage. Not that much bloatware. Full functionality, including camera, wifi, netflix, wireless display etc. Also I want a little more available RAM if possible. I want adoptable storage. Please reccomend a ROM.

One more thing. I've seen that the Samsung Micro SD cards above 32 GB are working for this phone . But I may pick up a 32GB or 64GB Sandisk micro SD card. Will the Sandisk be just as compatible as the Samsung? I plan to simply get an Class 10 of 95mb read speed and 10mb write speed. Like the Sandisk ultra or the Samsung evo cards. Thank you fam.

What's up. I'm new to these parts of the forums. I have downgraded from s8+'s and now I'm on the H1611. I have your b180 room installed on my device and for the life of me cannot get Xposed to install without dealing with the constant boot loop. I know it takes something like 20 min. I've read somewhere but an hour is ridiculous. I have tried flashing through TWRP and I've tried through Magisk and no luck. Any idea to get Xposed installed?

Current:

Your b180 room

Rooted with Magisk

Another thing is it normal to have ram at like 300-400mb free? This phone feels super sluggish and I think MIUI is far too heavy for this phone. I agree with the folks in here that want lineageos. I'll search for a branch or source tree to see if I can get something going at least. If not I'll join the club with trying to build a tree. This phone has "0" snappiness whatsoever. A friend's LG Leon lte feels way faster than this BEHEMOTH of a phone

Well, I actually have it installed now and haven't posted here since this part of the forums are a complete ghost town. I was gonna share my current build for this device but seeing from the lack of anything here I'm not gonna even waste time releasing it to the general public. And thanks for your response but it would've been easier with just providing some information rather than making me go through pages of nonsense. But the response is what matters. I will be returning back to a real device shortly because this phone is not as snappy as everyone says and nor is it as good as everyone says for it's dollar. I bought this phone and a brand new Samsung j3 and kept this phone because I hate Samsung but now I really wish I had kept it. So good day/evening. I am out....
[Huawei Ascend XT Guides, News, & Discussion] divineBliss:

Exactly so, why was your reply opposite of what you are telling me? And it's quite obvious that there is only the magisk way of installing it. I'm not trying to argue with you man. I asked that question a day or 2 ago and I noticed that no one really was even cruising around in the forums so I said to myself what the heck, might as well keep trying things on my own. Also, noticed developement has come to a complete stop a while ago. I honestly thought this place was deserted.
