Hello,

I am using Magisk Version 5.4.3 and even tried the beta selection (mentioned in a different thread) again this morning. I"m starting to think my phone is possessed and refuses to be broken from it's chains! I have held off on using TWRP as it is still in beta. I'l revisit when I see it out as a release version.

I know all USB my connections are good as I can use ADB/Fastboot without any problems so it is down to my specific device. When I received this device direct from Google, It had the OEM unlock function disabled. I did a full reset and it came alive and I was able to select it to unlock the bootloader. I"m just wondering if there was more of a problem than a system reset could fix??

Anyway, thanks for your time and thoughts. I did learn a little about direct things to specific slots.

Hi all, Magisk Manager keeps prompting me to update the app. Should I do this? Are we supposed to stick with the 14.4 version that was around when we first got root? I'm on the stable channel, have never been on the beta channel.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] eevanskiteboards:
I tried to update to magisk 5.4.3 many times but i am unable to. The app will not install with normal installing techniques nor adb. I am on mm v5.4.0 with version 14.5(topjonwu) currently. I have the update channel to beta also. any suggestions would be helpful, thanks

After rooting the DP2 with lastest Magisk Beta after booting I receive a messsage that there is an internal problem with my device and I should contact the vendor. But anything works fine. Anyone facing the same problem?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JayBlack_686:
In case anyone else had the same question - I had to re-root after flashing the November factory image. I couldn't even use Magisk Manager 5.4.1 (which I already had installed) - it wouldn't allow me to patch the boot file. I downloaded the apk for MM 5.4.3 (latest at this time), followed the original instructions for root, and it worked. I guess when Magisk Manager tells you to update, you update.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] EggZenBeanz:
yes.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Shibang:
I'm getting the same message as well. This happened for me after applying Magisk Beta after the December OTA. I also tried applying the full factory image for the December OTA and wound up with the same error message. At least everything seems to be working ok...although I woke up this morning with my phone stuck on the white Google logo boot screen. I had to hard reboot.

Same here, after installing Magisk 15.2. Everything seems to be working fine.

when rooted does your phone still back up to google?

when rooted does your phone still back up to google? so if you had to wipe it and start over would everything be reloaded from google or is that functionality gone?

i unlocked my boot loader but not rooted and am getting annoyed that android pay stopped working. trying to determine what hassle i may get myself into by rooting vs. just locking the boot loader back up again.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jascolli:
Google backup does continue to work when you are rooted. Not sure what to say about Android pay. Are you on Magisk 15.2 with Android pay checked off in Magisk hide?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] iridium7777:
i'm running magisk 15.2 but i'm not rooted yet, only boot loader unlocked. when i do safety net check if fails ctsprofile but passes basic integrity -- i read everywhere that android pay will stop working with unlocked boot loader and you either have to root to fix it or lock back up.

just trying to determine whether it's worth it for me to proceed with root or i should just lock the phone back up right now.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jascolli:
If you have Magisk installed then you are rooted.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] iridium7777:
i'm not sure what i actually have, magisk utility? something magisk opens up and tells me with a green check that latest version is 15.2 but it has red x next to magisk is not installed.

i'm trying to use this tool to patch the boot.img
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jascolli:
Is "Superuser" in your list of Magisk settings?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] iridium7777:
sorry, i edited my reply, i must be confusing magisk 'utility' with whatever magisk v15.2 is. see my above reply. i'm just trying to use this utility to patch boot.img.

I was getting the same nonsense with Android Pay and also had Netflix disappear from the Play Store. I installed one of the new kernels (Flash Kernel 2.08) and everything is working fine again. I did not take the final step and Root with Magisk yet as I was only going to go there if installing the new kernel didn't work.

I can't find anything doing the search. Is the rooting the s8 (TMO) battery still stuck at 80pct after root or has a workout been found?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] Shaquiel Harris:
BUMP on this please. I was just searching for this answer! It's the only reason I haven't rooted this device or even updated past the version I'm on now. By the way, the battery life on this phone is quite good so far, easily get a full day so I wouldn't want to ruin this by rooting.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] Josh McGrath:
In my own research, I believe that this is still an issue. People have reported that the only way to charge to 100pct is to.put it on download mode, but that's a real pita

In my own experience, the battery stuck 80 PCT is still constant. I have the s8 now, and I don't really like it, even with root and rom'd
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Aier:
So, I was messing around with Busybox on my rooted T350 RUNNING 6.0.1, and I went into scripts, and ran the script to reboot into recovery and I ran it as root. It rebooted fine into recovery. So once I was done in TWRP, I tried to reboot back into my rom, which is stock by the way, and on the top left it won't change from set warranty bit: recovery to set warranty bit: kernel. So I can't get back onto my rom. Any ideas? If possible I really don't want to flash my stock unrooted room, just to read obtain root and have to re-download everything. Thanks in advance

Update - I flashed my stock backup. Still no change to set warranty bit. My tablet is pretty much bricked at this point in time.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Aier:
Anybody got any ideas? I'm kind of dead in the water.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Aier:
Solved it myself. Thanks for all the feedback. So, in case anyone ever has this issue again, these are the steps I took to fix being stuck in "set warranty bit: recovery".

1. Connect your tablet to your computer, reboot into download mode, run Odin.

2. Go ahead and check AP and select file twrp_3.0.2-1_sm-t350_mm_9816.tar

3. Flash it, and attempt to get back into TWRP.

If you still want a rooted device:

1. Connect to Odin, reboot to download mode

2. Select AP, select CF-Auto-Root-gt58wifi-gt58wifixx-smt350.tar.md5

3. Flash it, have root.

Somehow, rebooting into recovery via busybox root script will put you in a recovery boot loop. Reflashing TWRP was the only way I could breath life back into my device. I also had a backup of my stock unmodified ROM to restore via twrp, so that is why there aren't any steps mentioned with flashing that.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] morrowa2:
Trying to unlock bootloader on my pixel 2 XL. Using a windows 10 64-bit laptop, usb-c cable that came with the phone, latest drivers and up to date platform tools. Debugging enabled. OEM unlock enabled.

Phone is recognized in ADB just fine. "Adb devices" results in the the device being listed. "ADB reboot bootloader" reboots the phone into fastboot mode just fine. Once in fastboot mode, however, "fastboot devices" yields nothing.

Pulling my hair out here, and not much hair left to pull. I suspect I'm going to have to tinker with the computer's security settings to get the drivers to install correctly. Any thoughts?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] therealisttruest:
I seem to remember the same thing happening when I got mine a couple days ago and unlocked the BL within a few hours of unboxing. I ended up doing the standard unlock followed by unlock critical commands anyway. Worked fine for me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] js042507:
Try just turning the phone off and then entering fastboot via volume down and power button. THEN, plus in your phone. Do a 'fastboot devices' and see if it shows up now. In my experience, I got my phone...checked oem unlock and all that...booted into fastboot mode via hard method. And my phone is detected instantly. I did not install any drivers, update platform tools (mine is from like 2012), and even used a third-party USB-C cable. It works every time. Also, I am using the adb and fastboot executables from an older adb minimal set. Probably from like a year or so ago. I don't ever use the SDK ones really anymore.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] gonzo237:
I'd check and make sure your adb/fastboot is up to date, or do a reinstall just in case.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] morrowa2:
There are so many options for adb/fastboot and drivers. Where does one find "the latest," that everyone is speaking of?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] morrowa2:
Thanks for the suggestions but still not working. Even tried disabling driver signature verification at startup. I'm going to uninstall everything, factory reset the device and start over. Might also try a usb-c to usb-a cable. Any other thoughts?

Update: Nothing worked until I used a usb-c to usb-a cable, then it worked like a charm. Must be a Lenovo thing.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] canemaxx:
I can't even get adb to recognize my device ....I have used multiple cables I'm about to return this phone

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Colchiro:
I had no luck except about once in 20 it'd work. Then swapped to a different USB-C port on my laptop, then it worked. FWIW, I tried USB-C to USB-C and USB-C --> USB-A (adapter) to USB-C and it didn't make a difference.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] tluley51:
I did this and when in the bootloader screen, I am able to display fastboot devices, but when I go into recovery mode and try and flash something via ADB (the November patch since I am not pulling it OTA), it seems to start but it just sits at "Verifying update package" on the phone and "loading: 'taimen-ota-******.zip'" and never progresses. Almost like the PC and the phone are not talking properly?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] js042507:
Like others have stated, maybe try a USB-C to regular USB-A cable. I have only used that type of cable, but didn't realize that the actual cable that comes with the phone might be a problem. I never used it to test that theory though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] tluley51:
Yeah that is all I have ever used. I use a USB A to C Cable Matters cable.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] js042507:
I don't know then. I haven't attempted the update yet to provide any feedback. However, others have reported this issue in the 'November OTA' thread. I would look there.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] zetret:
For anyone in the future, ensure the that Device Manager is showing the 'Android Composite ADB Interface' driver installed.

Then, just download the latest Platform Tools (from https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools), and from inside that folder, open a Powershell prompt, and then 'adb reboot bootloader'. Once you are in the 'fastboot' mode, the 'fastboot devices' command works.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] CapnShiner:
I had the same problem. I fixed it by plugging in my UBS-C to USB-A cable into a USB 3 port instead of a USB 2 port.

On GSam Battery Monitor's phone signal graph, I noticed fluctuating signal graph. I work in city core and signal is always in good 65-72 dbm range.

There is certainly no reason for the phone to have signal problems. Worse is that signal problem causes battery drain.

Fix is rather simple. Update firmware or modem (NON-HLOS.bin.) Though I flashed entire firmware, updating modem alone should do it.

To update, follow [GUIDE] How to manually upgrade firmware posted by [MENTION=3005975]Presterin[/MENTION] .

However, note that I used 26S firmware as 23S firmware is the one that gave me the problem.

In the picture, those crazy fluctuation is when I was on 23S radio and right after I I flashed 26s one, it is nice and stable as you can see.

EDIT: Do not flash system.img and boot.img if you want to keep your current rom as it is. Obviously, do not format Data neither.

Is anyone willing to try and do something simple with a guitar or something else I'm really curious what the OZO sounds like when recording a musical instrument...

Thanks guaranteed!!
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] xasbo:
I haven't recorded isolated instruments, but I have noticed that in loud settings (concert venue, car stereo) the microphone seems to saturate and clip pretty easily. I haven't seen any kind of gain control, either. It would probably be pretty decent in a quiet, more studio-like setting, but it doesn't seem to handle louder environments well.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] emmanuelw:
Thank you this information is very useful for me, that kind of clipping worries me as I also play a high tin whistle that it's shrill high notes could cause microphones to clip, do you think they can fix that gain issue? Is the recording you did after the recent updates? Also have you tried recording a loud environment with a different phone to compare if they would clip in the same loud environments? Especially interested in the LG V30 or G6 with regard... I also heard that the new Sony Xperias should be good with regard and able to record loud concerts... Thank you very much!
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] emmanuelw:
I watched a video on Youtube in which a person used a Nokia 8 to record pushing back a Boeing 777 aircraft! wow! the sound is very crisp and doesn't clip despite the relatively loud environment, xasbo, do you reckon your specific unit could be faulty? and the clipping has been fixed in more recent units? thanks for your help!

So I saved up an got Nexus 6P hoping to keep it for 2-3 years. Exactly 14 months, you guessed it no warranty left, the volume while I am on a call is really really low. I can hear someone when I am in a quiet room otherwise it is not possible to make out what the other person is saying. While driving a car, in even a slightly noisy room I have to turn on speakerphone to make a call.

I tried putting a tape on the back mike, not using protective cover, someone suggested I hard reset. All tried to no use :crying:

I am running stock and at this point desperate to find a fix. can't afford another phone and this one is no good other than in my bedroom :crying::crying:

We can be friends. I have the same problem. Don't bother changing the speaker. I did and it makes no difference. Did you install any sound mods like I did?
