[BLU VIVO 8L Questions & Answers] lopestom:
You can decide what you want. Any action will be at your own risk.

What I can suggest for inexperienced users is: always do something with safety!

In this context, modifiyng in the boot.img stock and believe that the original recovery will let any process like ROOT go in without interfering can cause the system to not boot. Therefore, you must have experience to revive the phone.

If the original recovery (which has script to block ROOT) let the process of ROOT enter, then you will have no problem (which I believe will not happen). But anyway it's 50% chance for every situation. Keep in mind that it is often necessary to know if the bootloader is locked (necessary to perform the unlocking process) or unlocked.

The safest way to get ROOT (currently I know) is to have a Custom Recovery, make a backup of the files of your phone, save this backup in PC/Laptop/Notebook/Cloud/MicroSD, etc....

Then you can modify any part of the system on your phone, to ROOT, Xposed, etc.... So if something goes wrong, you have the backup files to use with Custom Recovery and revive the phone more easily (if the process with the SPFT does not work or you not know how use that - and it is also more annoying).

Well, it's always better to ask than to do something without information. If you still want to confirm the ROOT process directly by modifying the boot.img stock, remember the first part of this message.

So, :fingers-crossed:

Oh thank you for letting me know. I'm using the vivo as my main phone and would only like to try and root it if I know for a fact that it will work or at least I'am able to revive the phone easily. I just really wish I could root it right now so I can install Xposed, block ads, hack apps, etc. Unfortunately it can be done as of yet... oh well I guess all I need to do is wait. :fingers-crossed:
[BLU VIVO 8L Questions & Answers] DataStream3:
I have a TWRP Recovery that I just ported to the Vivo 8L. Unfortunately, my Vivio 8L no longer works after taking a trip to the bottom of my pool and I was unable to test it :(. Does anyone have a Vivo 8L they are willing to flash the recovery with?

Hello, do you still have re recovery? I have a Blu vivo 8l for second hand and may cousin wants to have his fist rooted phone.

Can you post the file?

I actually made a TWRP 2years ago, but I didn't post it anywhere coz I thought no one would ever need it:p

I eventually will build latest Android 12 based ROMs coz this phone is not gonna be my daily driver:D
[BLU VIVO 8L Questions & Answers] juampapo546:
Nice! Idk if the device is still around there but I'll give it a shot, thanks :)
[BLU VIVO 8L Questions & Answers] juampapo546:
Btw, do you have the device tree up on github? If I do get the device I might get my hands on it, never done anything on mtk but there's always a first time :p
[BLU VIVO 8L Questions & Answers] llxxVENOMxxll:
I did make one, but I lost it to a faulty HardDisk :LOL:

I am actually working with the kernel as of now:cowboy:

Once I am done with a proper Kernel Source, I'll start working with the other components [device tree, etc.], and yeah it would a lot of time..

I am done with the drivers, just the dtb part left. Hope to complete it soon!

But that said, in my country internet is costly and building a ROM may take time..
[BLU VIVO 8L Questions & Answers] juampapo546:
Nice, today I'm getting the device, hope it's not dead lol.

I have final exams this month but if the device is alive as soon as I finish them I might be able to give you a hand 🤓.

My local server is dead tho, I think it's the PS. Tomorrow I'll test it with another old PS, let's hope it's that :)
[BLU VIVO 8L Questions & Answers] juampapo546:
Well the device is dead, I got to boot logo twice but it didn't even boot. I believe it's the motherboard :(
[BLU VIVO 8L Questions & Answers] llxxVENOMxxll:
What made it boot loop? Just turn off your phone and try entering recovery mode. If not, try factory mode (Vol - + Power). If your phone goes to a boot loop, it's a software issue and a hardware issue..
[BLU VIVO 8L Questions & Answers] juampapo546:
The device is quite smashed lol, the chassis has its curve so my guess is it has damaged the mother. My other theory is that the curve is false pressing the power button or not letting me press it at all so when I am able to turn it on, as it's already being pressed it forces shutdown. However I see this last option quite unlikely because when it's charging it never reaches a onlycharge mode, it stays powered off
[BLU VIVO 8L Questions & Answers] llxxVENOMxxll:
:cry:
[BLU VIVO 8L Questions & Answers] juampapo546:
My hopes aren't completely dead, I was able to get into recovery and run a root integrity check and it failed so after all it might be software after all. As I was already in recovery I selected reboot to bootloader and when I plugged in the device only charge mode pops up :unsure:

I'll try flashing fw via recovery since I doubt sp flash tool will ever recognize the device lol.

I'll keep u posted

Edit: It just got to boot animation when I kept power button pressed on only charge mode, didn't get past that
[BLU VIVO 8L Questions & Answers] llxxVENOMxxll:
Yes. It's a problem with the software. It even happens to me. That's y I mentioned to use SP flash tool in the thread. I'll make a very short video explanation it u want. This issue is very common to Mediatek. Your phone is alright!!

NOTE: FOR SP FLASH TOOL TO WORK, RECOVERY, OR EVEN FASTBOOT MODE IS NOT NECESSARY. JUST POWER OFF YOUR PHONE!

Hi, everyone!

I need some help with my Note8. I installed the PHE (Spanish Unlocked version) to my Mexican Note8, mostly because of the **** the carriers usually add to the OS.

I verified the storage and now it says my phone only has 32 GB. Originally it had 128 GB.

Why did this happened? How can I fix it? Is there anything I can do?

I would appreciate your help!

Thanks a lot.

Note 8 kills the 7.....just does...i really liked the 7, but it feels clunky already in compare to the 8...the 8 takes a little bit of time to embrace coming from the 7 as far as fingerprint scanner...but that passes too this phone is awesome
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] D_Gabe:
It's an amazing upgrade. I totally recommend it. I owned a Note 7, and was really disappointed on Samsung because of the recall. I had to stick up to the S7 Edge... And, though it is a good phone, it's not what I was looking for.

No phone can compete against the Note 8.

Spróbuję jeszcze raz zflashować system, jeśli nie pomoże to chyba będzie trzeba. Swoją drogą nigdy nie bawiłem się w wymianę 'niewymiennych' baterii i nie chcę czegoś po drodze uszkodzić. Czy np gwarancja tego nie obejmuje?

Thanks I'll try to reflash system and if it won't help I'll probably need to replace battery.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Immortalis:
Generalnie zabawa polega na rozebraniu tylnych plecków i wymianie baterii wraz z taśmą, która wpina się jak Lego. Sam też się nigdy nie bawiłem, aczkolwiek wiem tyle co widziałem :D

OnePlus powinien Ci przyjąć na gwarancji wymianę baterii, chyba, że masz telefon więcej niż 6 miesięcy, to mogą za baterię krzyknąć (jeśli oni mieliby to zrobić), ale chyba nie przyczepią się, jak zrobisz to sam, ale nie jestem tutaj pewny.

Najlepiej byłoby, gdybyś wgrał świeżutki system bez danych i wtedy sprawdził, czy coś się zmieni.

It would be the best, if you had done a clean flash and then check, if it helps.

Hey all,

After almost totally tweaking out my device until there are no customizable options left, I am posting the welcomehead.192.png file that I have created, and now use on my WM5 device (HTC Uni).

It was created in high resolution via Photoshop, and I personally think it looks like a beauty. It will probably come in handy to those of you who use Vista-based themes on your devices....

** cough ** like my VistaMobile Pocket PC Theme ** cough ;) **

It's attached as a .png file, and it is made for VGA devices only. If you have a QVGA device, simply resize this png to 320 x 320, and it should still look just as nice (much better to downsample an image than trying to take a 320px and make it 640px).

Hope you all enjoy!

Quick disclaimer

-I am not the founder of this [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] made this and [MENTION=3659125]joemossjr[/MENTION] is the founder of this method.

-I am also not responsible for a raise in gas prices getting cheated on by your wife and a bricked device

So for you that don't know already: "SuHide" is a application which hides root from other apps that detect it (Snapchat, Hulu, banking apps, etc.) And will allow you to use these apps while rooted.

In other words you pass safetynet

PLEASE READ THIS:

AFTER YOU INSTALL "SUHIDE" DO NOT INSTALL XPOSED IT WILL CAUSE A BOOT LOOP WHICH IS UNRECOVERABLE WITH OUT THE STOCK FIRMWARE FLASH

DO NOT INSTALL SYSTEM TWEAKS (PERFORMANCE TWEAKS FLASHED THROUGH TWRP) THEY WILL ALSO CAUSE I BOOTLOOP

**If you do brick your phones here is the link to the stock firmware flash**

Sprint: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620761146

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STEPS TO INSTALL:

But what you want to do for root is.

1. Download the configurer. http://download.chainfire.eu/1121/SuperSU/AROMA-SuperSUConfig-v1.00.zip

2. Download the latest SuperSU. http://download.chainfire.eu/1220/SuperSU/SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip

3.Download the latest suhide. http://download.chainfire.eu/1219/suhide/UPDATE-suhide-v1.09-20171001222116.zip

FLASHING

4a. Boot into TWRP

4b. Flash the configure file and chose these options.

1st page= Last option should say 8.0 sbin mode

2nd page=Choose the second option on all sections.

3rd page= leave everything defaulted

5. now after that's done flash SuperSU the suhide. Then boot and it should reboot a few times but it will boot and you will have suhide

6. Open up the new app in your app drawer named "SuHide" and Grant superuser permission

Have Fun :)

(Tell me if it worked please)
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkFalconX:
This worked perfectly for me. I am on the stock T-Mobile August build and no longer have to fire up the hotspot and use my old VZW Z Force for Android Pay. Thanks for putting this guide together!
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] enetec:
Do you think it is related to Suhide presence or to installing SuperSU on /sbin? :confused:

(to be clearer, installing SuperSU on /sbin is safe with Xposed?)
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] WeUseLord-:
I honestly do not know I believe the reason is because XPOSED is detected differently than SuperSU which is why it won't work
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] WeUseLord-:

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Root is no problem, fastboot boot to TWRP and install it.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Jank4AU:
This phone is much more challenging than other handsets due to the fact Google has implemented dual booting partitions. It also seems they aren't as interested in the developer community now that they are making their own phones and not just putting out an OS for Android. So, this handset isn't as friendly for devs, except for those who are really into masochistic behavior (self punishment). If you're looking for a really robust developer community you probably should stick to Samsung or a few other manufacturers and avoid Google for the foreseeable future.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Sui77:
Just my thoughts.

Really unbelievable that there are no ROMs due to those issues.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] kxf41:
I'm thinking of selling my pixel and getting a oneplus 5, or waiting to see how the modding scene evolves for the razor phone.

Truly disappointed the pixel line didn't follow on from nexus devices.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Sui77:

Got my pixel used and defective, Google will replace it for free so I will be able to sell it as new.

Would it be possible to install substratum and xposed framework?

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] acidspider:
I would of thought there would be possibly some way of reformatting the partition size or even changing partitions completely
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Alex-V:
for that ..S-off is needed..but a great idea through
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] jmartin72:
Really funny how things have changed. It wasn't that long ago that if you wanted a phone that was easy to root, and had tons of developers, with tons of ROM options, you got a Nexus. Now that the Pixels are here, it's just the opposite.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Horgar:
The only saving grace is Google will continue supporting the pixel until October 2019 so I'm not going to be stranded with a phone I can't update.

Got the XL as a warranty replacement for my almost 2 year old 6P that had battery dying issues.

I do like the XL, have it rooted with Magisk, just waiting for Pure Nexus. If revo gets Xposed working Oreo, may not go custom rom at all.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] y2grae:
Not many things the phone can't do that requires custom

bootloader unlock and custom kernel if required for some tweaks, however

pure android is actually freaking lovely

is any other device on oreo? let alone 8.1 (if you have beta)
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] KittyRgnarok:
Quite a few devices are getting both official and unofficial 8.0 updates. As far as 8.1 I'm pretty sure it's still in beta so it's only available for the Google family of devices as there is no way to look into the source of the beta and try to compile it for other phones.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] hardslog:
There are more issues than the A/B partition scheme that these phones have:

1) They are extremely expensive so there were not too many people who bought them in the first place

2) There are a lot of people and devs who have sold their Pixels for Pixel 2's

3) Project Treble which sounded like a good idea has actually caused more problems for this phone for custom development, which did not affect any Nexus models. All the kinks related to this need to be worked out too as it is a new issue as of Oreo

You will see some rom action in the foreseeable future though

How would you rate the Pixel against the Nexus 6P?

Is it worth the upgrade?

I got a broken 6P for 80€ and a broken Pixel for 180€

Both were replaced (Nexus against Nexus, cause it was bought from 3rd party and not Google).

Nexus would sell for 250€, Pixel for 400€
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] vlucchetti:
I miss my 6P, thought it was an awesome phone but the battery issue SOT of 2 hours after 2 years was killing me. Got the XL as a warranty replacement for virtually nothing, so it was a win-win.

Once the custom roms roll out, it will rival or exceed the 6P, I have no doubt.

I'm suffering the same issues, but I've bought third party so I won't get a pixel as replacement.

Ok so I have had enough of all my friends with their iphones and facetime which works seamlessly but I have an lg v20. Great phone but no facetime like all the other android phones. Apple has released the facetime api a while ago but no one developed facetime for android. here is the link, https://developer.apple.com/library...me_Reference/FacetimeLinks/FacetimeLinks.html
