[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Doug8796:
Hey guys, apparently the Nexus 5 had similar issue to the Pixel 2 XL. I was curious to see if anyone could investigate this further with root.

https://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/development/mod-camcorder-audio-quality-fix-t2837930

Please let me know if you guys have any success. The Pixel 2 XL suffers from horrible mic issues, and if Google can't fix it I figure you guys can. I will glady patreon/paypal to whoever can fix this !

Apparently most of what you need to do is here

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66444719&postcount=1072

From Reddit post :

For the Pixel 2 XL, you would have to edit the file /vendor/etc/audio_platform_info_tavil_taimen.xml and add the following line

<device name="SND_DEVICE_IN_CAMCORDER_MIC" acdb_id="89"/>

inside the <acdb_ids> tags. The acdb_id (an ID that points to audio device calibration data) will likely be different from the 89 that worked on the Nexus 5. Looking at the AOSP sources I'd start with 62 and then try 8, 35, and 125. You will have to reboot every time you make a change to that file for it to have an effect. Before you reboot, make sure that your edits did not modify the file's permissions, which should be set to 644 (rw-r--r--).

Unfortunately, I do not have a Pixel 2 XL to test, but I certainly feel your pain. Good luck!

Edit: After comparing the audio_platform file with the one from the regular HTC-made Pixel 2 I'd add 143 and 144 to the list of acdb_id numbers you may want to try.

[Samsung Gear Live] boowho:
I've been playing with this for days. I've bricked the watch twice as well as other exasperating problems.

it seems that I am able to get the FW flashed, but as soon as I do a complete reboot, the watch throws the new FW out and reverts back to stock recovery.

I've read that the stock FW checks for a non-stock recovery and if found, removes TWRP from the watch.

I've heard there is a way to prevent this but don't know how. Anyone know??

Boowho???

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrnickster:
Hey everyone, so I've been spending hours and hours trying to find with a solution but haven't had much luck. So my dad was locked out his phone a long time ago, he's not the most technologically literate person (neither am I) so therefore he's long forgotten his gmail accounts and passwords (doesn't believe in backups). I can't bypass the gmail screen.

He no longer uses the phone, and switched carriers. However, he has important data on the phone, and all of my sentimental high school team photos are there (which is why I'm also interested). I installed cwm (but USB debugging ~seems~ to be not on) assuming if it was, I tried doing an ADB pull however, the instructions were way too muddy to be to understand. Any and all help will be appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Pigoath:
You should be able to pull this off by flashing TWRP and then boot on recovery mode and connect the phone as an USB Media, that should give you access to the images on the phone.
[SuperSU] iiPostMaster:
So far, every damned Cricket phone I've ever bought has either a crippled bootloader, or no bootloader at all. I recently bought the LG Harmony (M257) (Android 7.0) from Cricket Wireless after unsuccessfully trying to root and bricking a ZTE Grand X 3 (Z959) (Android 5.1.1) from losing charge while attempting a root. Either way, these phones seem to have little to no bootloader. If you prompt adb with "adb reboot bootloader" it just boots as normal, right into the OS.

My whole question here is, is it possible to flash SuperSU without TWRP or an unlocked bootloader? I am in dire need of rooting this device, as I'm getting overwhelmed with how little it can do as stock.

If there's a downloadable version of twrp that is "universal" somewhere, with a proper signature that can be adb side-loaded, or anything that can get me a team win custom recovery on a device with a crippled bootloader, please tell me about that too.

Thanks in advance to anyone that replies with helpful info!
[SuperSU] DB126:
- it has a bootloader; just crippled (like most carrier supplied prepaid devices)

- no way to install Magisk, SuperSU or similar tool on an unrooted device with locked bootloader (if it were that easy ...)
[SuperSU] iiPostMaster:
Well, it was worth a shot... Guess I might just have to resort to a few sketchy one-touch methods and use SuperSU Me.
[SuperSU] DB126:
Good luck - no known (or at least reliable) root exploits for M257 which is a prerequisite for SuperSU me.

[ZTE Axon M Questions & Answers] automatisms:
When you’ve used it for a few days maybe you can give an indication of what the battery life is like.
[ZTE Axon M Questions & Answers] barcodejames:
I also have the Axon M, and I can say that it at least has better battery life than the Note 8. I took both phones off the chargers at 9pm (Nov. 8th) when I woke up to get ready for work. By the time I got home from work at 7am (Nov. 9th), my Note 8 was at about 77%, and my Axon M was at 82%. While at work, I streamed music to my bluetooth headphones on the Note 8, and used my Axon M to read a Kindle book and surf Facebook during my two 15 minute breaks, and my hour lunch. I still haven't put either phone on the charger yet, and it is midnight (Nov. 10th). Note 8 is at 52%, Axon M is at 76%
[ZTE Axon M Questions & Answers] johnnobts:
I've had mine for a week now and can give some impressions. Have used it exclusively and set aside my S8. Battery life is very good as long as you don't use the dual screens all day long which is what I end up doing. It's very hard to go back to a single screen as the extra real estate is very nice. While battery life isn't stellar, if I see it drop under 40% I keep it on one screen only. Good news is it recharges very fast! At least as fast if not faster than the S8.

Using the dual screens: I almost always use it in one large screen format. The middle gap can be. Little annoying but it's so much easier to type (doing that now) and navigate web pages. For emulators it's pretty rad as I dedicate the entire bottom screen to act as a touchscreen pad.

The dedicated media button or TV now button can be changed but I use it for DirecTV now. I tried using TiVo with two screens but sadly the media always pauses when touching the other screen so it's frustrating.

Two big problems with this phone are the camera, which is just not great compared to the S8. The other big problem is scratching. I know this is gorilla glass 5 and I have babied this thing, but got a minor stuff on the back bezel (not on screen). I had to cut out some cheapo screen protectors while waiting for skinomi skins and next month! For glass protectors. If I keep the phone I will be swapping it out wit attached for a new one.

I ordered the axon m case from ZTE as well. Last issue and my fellow M owners can help in this, when accepting a phone call the audio on the headset doesn't work until I switch to speaker, then I can toggle back to earpiece. Think it's a little bug they need to patch.

All in all a great phone. Makes me want a truly folding oled screen but I am likely to keep this.
[ZTE Axon M Questions & Answers] barcodejames:
How did you get emulators to work with using the two screens as one big screen? I tried two different ds emulators, and both said that the app wasn't optimized and disabled the second screen.
[ZTE Axon M Questions & Answers] johnnobts:
Under settings you can force all apps to run extended mode (a). Then run emmulators in portrait mode and adjust screen size to half and half. Easy:)
[ZTE Axon M Questions & Answers] barcodejames:
somehow I swear that option wasn't there before. I only saw the option to force support for dual mode. Now the option to force support for extended mode randomly decided to show up.

[ZTE Axon M Questions & Answers] audri5:
The case doesn't work very well for me and I hate the glass screen protectors. I think I'm going to try and have it wrapped in that plastic at the mall. ? As far as the issue with the speaker, I have that happen too but my brother does not on his axon m. I think it only happens when I have the Bluetooth on.

I managed to install the TWRP Recovery, where everything worked, I also flashed superSU and after the restart, my phone either stops on the introductory samsung logo (without animation), or starts booting, but it pops out to me, that recovery has failed, the device can not be restarted. The integrity check failed. You must reset the default device settings. This will erase all your data. And completely down in the middle of the screen was displayed the reset dialog, when I clicked on it, the phone went into restart stay on the opening logo (samsung galaxy s8 +) and nothing goes wrong. Twrp can not be reached after the combination of buttons to enter the recovery.

So I'm back at zero again

Please accept my apologies if this has been asked/answered ad nausem, but after searching the forums I still don't have a clear answer.

As the title suggests, I want to know if it's possible to convert the Note 8 I purchased from Samsung into the version that Verizon sells in the US? Is there a process I can follow to reinstall the ROM on this with the Verizon version to include the bootloader so that it has the exact same image, bootloader, software, etc. as if it were purchased as a Verizon branded phone?

If there isn't a process I can follow, by chance can a Verizon Wireless corporate store do this?

I've been a Verizon Wireless customer over 10 years and have always purchased their branded phones, however with this Note 8 I decided to go with the unlocked version from Samsung directly and now I'm thinking I should've went with the Verizon version. Hoping there's a way to put the complete Verizon build onto this phone.

I bought the unlocked version from Samsung and I am on Verizon as well. I just downloaded the official Verizon Note 8 firmware and flashed it to the phone with Odin. It's really simple but it does erase the phone. If you want to go back to the unlocked firmware you can flash that with Odin as well.

You might check Swappa. You can probably sell it there and pick up a Sprint Note 8 and not be out much money. Then just flash the unlocked firmware on the Sprint Note 8.

I'm currently using a Verizon Note 8 and a Verizon S8 Plus (I'm a phone where, dont judge) on T-Mobike with no issues. Both are currently running T-Mo firmware, but they've both run the unlocked firmware in the past with no issues.

Would you lose any carrier-specific features, such as WiFo calling or VoLTE if you run unlocked instead of Sprint firmware?
