When I unlock my new phone, do I do both fastboot flashing unlock AND fastboot flashing unlock_critical or just the later?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Both! :good::good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] vibrantliker:
one right after the other, correct?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Yep :good:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Jinthegodstyle:
I am going to sell this phone and i want to relock it because that person that will take it, doesn't have any idea of flashing roms, etc and without locking it, he will never take updates otherway.

My question is, is it finally safe to lock ky bootloader again? And if yes what's the proper way?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
Flash the factory images to both slots with the "w" and run the fastboot lock command
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Jinthegodstyle:
Is it possible to send me a link how to flash on both slots?

Or I can flash slot a, then flash twrp, then change slot b, reboot and flash on slot b?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
Reboot into the bootloader

Connect your device to your PC

Open a cmd/powershell window within the same folder your platform tools are located

Run the command "fastboot devices" and if a serial number pops up, you're good to go

Now, I don't know if this is the exact command (going at the top of my head here), but the command is something like "fastboot --set-active=_a"

You can google something like "fastboot set active pixel" to get the exact command if that doesn't work.

If it does work, you should see the window return something like "setting active slot"

Then download the latest factory images, unzip them and place them in the platform tools folder as well. Double click the flash-all.bat (if on Windows) and let it do its thing.

Once it reboots, go into settings, make sure OEM unlocking and USB debugging are both enabled, then go back into the bootloader

Re-do the fastboot set active command, but this time with "b" instead of "a" and click flash-all.bat again

Once it reboots, you should have a clean factory image to both slots, so you can go back into the bootloader and run the commands fastboot flashing lock and fastboot flashing lock_critical (make sure you confirm all these commands because I'm going at the top of my head with literally all these steps lol)

Also sorry if I missed something/have something incorrect, but I think I got it. Anyone reading this feel free to correct me anywhere I messed up!

And finally make sure your platform tools are up to date

Also Google doesn't care if bootloader is unlocked long as it's factory software?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] me_droid:
Bootloader unlocked, but want to relock without usb

I'm in the situation where I'm returning a Pixel2 due to the usb-c port having died (except for charging). I reset the phone but the bootloader stayed unlocked and now the option to toggle it is grayed out. I can't connect it to a computer anymore so wonder if there's a way to relock without using that option in the developers settings.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Google does not care, ship it. Lots of folks have sent back unlocked phones with zero problems, including me.

That said, there isn't a way to do that. And FYI the option to toggle is grayed when unlocked until you fastboot relock it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] irmas5:
Hello. Can help my anybody? I locked back bootloader and stuck in fastboot menu with looked bootloader and no os. pixel 2xl.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Was your OS full stock before you locked the bootloader? Did you also leave "OEM unlocking" turned on as well before you locked it?

If your answer is no to both questions, then I'm afraid you have a paperweight on your hands :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] irmas5:
I'm was on custom rom. And yes I left in developer OEM switched off ,then rebooted to fastboot menu and locked bootloader. Restarted and found showing can't found operating system. When trying flash anything saying failed flash in locked state
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Ouch! Yeah, your likely out of luck my friend I'm sorry to say. Since you turned off "OEM unlocking" before you ran the fastboot command, you have in essence prevented yourself from unlocking the bootloader again, or even fastbooting the factory images for that matter. You could try unlocking the bootloader again with "fastbbot flashing unlock", but it will likely fail. Sorry man, not much else I can do for you at this point. :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] irmas5:
I try everything but no luck. Thanks anyway. I think it's not possible unlock bootloader in fastboot menu.

[Amazfit] ayelan:
After upgrading phone from Nexus 6 to Pixel 2 XL, I am getting the following error when attempting to sync Amazfit app with watch "Part Syncing Data Failed"

Bluetooth is working, cleared app cache and uninstalled and reinstalled, yet still no luck.

Anyone know how to fix this??????
[Amazfit] Snowy73:
I had this problem over the last 4 weeks, all the data would sync to the app but the run data would not transfer to strava. I ended up factory resetting my phone and then the data started syncing properly to strava and everything worked fine. However last week I started getting the following error "unfortunately, gpx- recorded has stopped." Now I'm trying to find out how to fix this error. Before this was happening the watch was working really well.

I must say however that the watch is still recording all my data (steps, sleep heart rate etc) it is just not allowing me to record any workouts that use the gps function. I get a GPS fix but as soon as the count down ends I get the gpx error. Does anyone have any ideas?
[Amazfit] fzelle:
Do you have music on the watch?

Check if there is room left in memory to save something
[Amazfit] kingtendo:
Responses please

Just started seeing the same thing. Using note 8
[Amazfit] s.costa:
I had the same problem.

I solved in this way in my android phone:

Go to options/general/alplications, select Amazfit, "clear cache" and then "force stop".

I hope this helps :)
[Amazfit] Zeljko1234:
For Strava, upload data directly from watch using WiFi. All GPS activities will show up. Even couple months months old.

For some reason syncing is not working via Bluetooth. I'm getting the same error.
[Amazfit] Standak12:
good day, you can not synchronize the watch with the app you know to advise, syncing failed, pleace help
[Amazfit] lfom:
Data may be corrupted, unpair watch while it's connected to phone or use Factory Reset in watch Settings, then pair again. PS: unpair will erase all data on watch.

If the problem persists after you pair again, do the same but answer NO when Amazfit app asks if you want to restore old data to watch.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] npt122p2:
Hi,

Whenever i charge my P2 and after removing charger i see KEEP AWAKE as solid bar. upon using adb shell commands and GSM battery app, it is "Kernel Wake lock smb1351" which keeps my phone awake.

if i reboot my phone, "KEEP awake" will not be there until i charge my P2 again.

so whenever i charge my phone and after removing charger i get KEEP AWAKE which is really frustrating.

anyone has any idea about this?

and how to resolve this?
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] adhammagdy:
It's a bug in the quick charging driver.. qualcomm is to blame for it.. not only p2 has it but also p1 and any phone with the smb1351 chip..

There are 2 solutions.. always restart phone after charging above 90%

Or install a custom kernel called magma.. it has the ability to block the smb1351 wakelock completely.. it fixed the issue for me and I didn't notice any side effects
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] potatoman4321:
Where can I find the option to block it?
[Android General] dsarv2012:
I'll start off with an apology, as well as a thank you to anyone willing to read this :)

Google Pixel XL: bootloader has been successfully unlocked and I had TWRP installed successfully at one point but I wiped data/factory reset from Android Recovery as an attempt to get any where beyond this only to make things worse. I've downloaded factory images, OTA, etc and tried a few different commands with ADB but only get the return error message "error: device '(null)' not found"; I think that started occurring after updating 'latest_usb_drivers_windows'. Even tried uninstalling those drivers and re-installing, no luck but it's possible I messed something else up at some point.

Sorry for the lack of information, I'll be happy to provide any pertinent information if anyone is free to assist. First rooted device was a Nexus 6P and that went well and instantly fell in love, probably shouldn't have attempted the systemless root method this early in my career lol.

P.s. I did look through some forums and there were some similar but I haven't been able to replicate any of those with success; there may not be hope for me after all.

Update: I was somehow able to get back into TWRP, but when I attempt to install a recovery image I get the following error message: "Failed to mount '/vendor' (Invalid argument). Maybe now that I'm back in TWRP someone has some ideas? :)

Update: I'm back in, this can be closed.

2. Load file into Odin and run

3. Reboot

I just did this on my rooted Galaxy Note 4:

• ES File Explorer > Settings > Root Explorer: ON

system > fonts > TAP and hold on NotoColorEmoji.ttf to be able to rename it to NotoColorEmoji.ttf.backup

Paste new (downloaded) emoji file NotoColorEmoji.ttf here > ES File Explorer > Settings > Root Explorer: OFF > Reboot.

• FX File Explorer can also be used instead of ES File Explorer

FX File Explorer > System (Root) [Regular File Explorer cannot be used for this] > Settings > Mount Read-Write > I understand the risk > OK >

Remember to unmount Read-Write when finished.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Zayatoshi:
Hello

A quick question about flash in Odin.

If I understood correctly :

1 / We start his phone in download mode

2 / We start odin and connect the phone to the PC

3 / We load the Emojis file to flash in Odin

We flash

My question is in which part to load the file in Odin:

BL? AP? CP?

Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr.Ash.Man:
These files i built are for custom recovery TWRP not Odin.(root only)

The only way to change emoji without root is to use an overlay. You can build your own or use one that's part of a Substratum theme.

This theme here has an iOS emojis overlay.

I don't expect that you will find what you need, but if you google "google assistant my activity" and click the first link while signed into the account you use for your Google Home, it will let you listen to everything that the assistant heard from you.

Unfortunately it is not always recording, so it will only have things from after you triggered it to listen. I'm sorry for your situation.

Given that the Nexus 9 does not have a slot for SD cards, are there any ways to actually increase the storage capacity for apps beyond eliminating bloatware?

Perhaps adding an SMB share as emulated internal storage? I'm also wondering whether there are any micro USB drives, which can be seated between the Nexus and the charge cable. Preferably tiny and sturdy, with a male micro USB connector on one end and a female micro USB receptacle on the other.

I'd like a solution that doesn't involve attaching a drive to and monopolizing the USB port, and encumbering the tablet.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
I sincerely don't think they give a darn. But if you're sending it back you'll have to wipe it first right? So after you do that then bootloader lock it. If it bricks then big deal. They reformat it anyway if it's refurb-able. If not they'll trash it. Probably only costs $25 or 50 bucks to make anyway. Ok, maybe a hundred but I doubt that much.
