[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phylum:
Thanks for the reply [MENTION=3273292]v12xke[/MENTION] and candidly, an honest response is better than none at all.

This is uncharted territory for me so I'm just trying to think outside the box. That said, I apologize if I have noob questions ahead.

So how about sideloading an update.zip that basically does the above?

run_program("/sbin/mount", "-t", "auto", "/system");
package_extract_file("default.prop", "/default.prop");
package_extract_file("/system/build.prop", "/system/build.prop");
unmount("/system");

Of course, this assumes I have access to stock default.prop and build.prop; presumably mine is no different since I haven't tampered with it.

Also

Where can I get an appropriate or latest update-binary? I don't want to use the one I found online ;)

What's the most appropriate mount method?

/sbin/mount /system
/sbin/mount -o rw /system
/sbin/mount -t auto /system

But I actually feel more comfortable copying over a script and executing that instead:

run_program("/sbin/mount", "-t", "auto", "/system");
package_extract_file("hacki.sh", "/hacki.sh");
# unsure if this is required ?
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/hacki.sh");
run_program("/hacki.sh");
unmount("/system");

And the hacki.sh script would look something like this:

#!/system/bin/sh

# for good measure
mount -t auto -o remount,rw /system

cp /default.prop /default.prop.orig
echo "persist.service.adb.enable=1" >> /default.prop
echo "persist.service.debuggable=1" >> /default.prop
echo "persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb" >> /default.prop

cp /system/build.prop /system/build.prop.orig
echo "persist.service.adb.enable=1" >> /system/build.prop
echo "persist.service.debuggable=1" >> /system/build.prop
echo "persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb" >> /system/build.prop

unmount /system

Again, this is all 'in theory' in my brain but perhaps there are more checks & balances now that prevent this sort of circumvention.

Honestly I'm torn:

I would like to get a Pixel 2, and this is the perfect excuse justification. But I'm not that interested in shelling out close to $1,000 since I'm interested in the 128GB variant of the XL.

On the other hand I got a quote for about $200 (something like 140 for the part plus 50-60 for labor) which is much easier to swallow.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
I spend a lot of time in these forums and I have never seen anyone (dev included) enable full ADB on this device without toggling it on within the Dev Settings. Not saying it is impossible, but the phone is 2 years old now and not one thread on this. I have seen others try and succeed? at using a kvm device to use an external monitor and keyboard in the N6 forum when I was faced with this very issue. On the N6 the repair was way higher because it included the digitizer. My N6P just started with the BLOD last week. Within 5 minutes I flashed the boot.img modified for 4 cores and was back up and running. It's crazy how well the phone is still running... but now looking for a new phone. . I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2XL 64 GB with the offer Google have running 11/27-11/30 of a $100 Play Store credit, free Home Mini, plus my trade-in value. I can get up to $250 back from the store price, and an extended 24 month warranty (thanks LG) so that is which way I am headed. Personally, I would not put $200 (incredible quote!) into this device so far down the road. My .02 cents... Again, I don't know what data you have on the phone. Nuclear missile codes might make a difference.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phylum:
I hear you on that; probably just an uninformed pipe dream of mine.

Hrm - interesting...I'll look into that.

I learned of that promotion earlier yesterday and it's very enticing. I went through the trade-in process but it's either human error (someone forgot to update a file) or a glitch.

Yesterday evening and even most of today, this landing page it showed a somewhat decent value of up to $165. But once you stepped into the trade-in process, the price changed to a whoppingly generous $70. Yes, granted, my N6P isn't necessarily tradeable in it's current state ;), I certainly wouldn't let it go for $70 if it were.

[IMG="Google Trade-In Value Discrepancy"]https://kqtysw.ch.files.1drv.com/y4m8Lr8y5qQ3LSEtrksEK6fw5m5IJaZMMI7T3h3YxYaNPEbALhbQKeW6_emVkC3OzDKFYU2BCGGaIGW_GwiQ2az_SQdYXXt-4TCfNu3K97EPW3GEZto8WJsNMVeo-qYQIeVQuZ0GHnmLsiNZSTIyuYyhZhXlVZll3xRkQ4Rp84jTS9LYNYTYzqVpBrBvRIamZBcWOif7ztjeDnF016ulqyfHQ?width=1123&height=912&cropmode=none[/IMG]

Who told you I was carrying the football? I mean ... what codes?

So here's a bit of good news

I went to SquareTrade yesterday evening to get pricing for the 2XL Warranties and after logging in, I noticed I had purchased a warranty for the 6P that was valid until Winter 2018!

I filed a claim and after a quick call said they gave me some options:

fix it myself somewhere and get reimbursed

they would try to fix it

they could just replace it for a like model.

Either way, it would cost me $75 which was way more appealing.

I naturally preferred to have it fixed so we were discussing those options but the guy was really championing for a replacement.

While reconfirming details and working up to the claim approval, he said they actually didn't have any replacement 6P's which meant I would likely get an upgraded model.

I was stoked thinking I might get a Pixel or Pixel XL since I doubted very much they'd give me a Pixel 2.

Today, they contacted me & are writing out a check for the original value of the phone so I'll be recycling that into a Pixel 2 XL! :good:

[MENTION=2649430]Phylum[/MENTION], did you ever try a USB OTG with a mouse/keyboard to see if you can recover your data?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phylum:
Thanks for the reply. I did not, primarily because I was working under a deadline.

This was my first broken screen but I learned from this experience taking precautionary measures on the replacement device (Pixel 2 XL): unlocked bootloader, set-up AirDroid and TeamViewer.

I haven't flashed a custom recovery yet, mostly waiting until they're stable. Also, I can't root because, as far as I know, there isn't a way to hide root from MobileIron.

Awesome work [MENTION=1434592]sharkie405[/MENTION]

Keep up the good work!

Here's a font that i always install when i format my phone or flash a new rom, its called Sony Sketch.

Hope you guys like it too. Attaching the necessary files as you instructed! Thanks!

[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] pa.pn2:
Please add walkway bold font if possible

And can i flash the fonts if i just boot twrp and don't have permanent?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sharkie405:
I'll fix the file you sent me this evening when I get home from work. If you also want me to compose a zip for you, post all the walkway font files here.

Yes, you can flash the fonts it if you just fastboot boot TWRP and don't have it flashed permanently. However, did you know that beta-2 of TWRP was released? That's the first version that actually works on my phone. If you haven't already, you might want to give that a try for a permanent TWRP.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sharkie405:
I will try to have this done for you this evening at some point.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] pa.pn2:
Yeah i saw that.maybe ill flash it this evening.

But first step is to flash stock boot image right.

The boot to twrp.flash custom kernel twrp.zip and magisk after i guess

All needed files for the font should be in the zip

I used it on my 6p without issues
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sharkie405:
I read somewhere that if you're already rooted and you're going to reflash TWRP, then you need to flash stock boot.img first. However, when I updated to the beta 2 version, I was already rooted and I did not flash the stock boot.img first, and everything went fine. Then I just rerooted using the latest magisk zip and it all went fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sharkie405:
- In the attached zip is the GoogleSans-Regular.ttf file to add to your zip.

- You also need to make an adjustment to the updater-script your flashable zip because it doesn't work on the Pixel 2 like it is currently. Actually, this might have changed since the Pixel OG. I say this because I tried to flash yours like it was and the font didn't get installed. After making the change below, it worked.

The package extract line:

package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

Needs to be change to:

package_extract_dir("system", "/system/system");

Add another level of /system to that line.​

I was going to post the zip, but since you put the package together, you should post it to share it, if you want. I will mention that font in the first post and link to your post with the zip attached. If you post it, also include a screenshot or two so that others can tell what it looks like before they download it.

You can go back to STOCK 7.1.1 ROM with OTA, BL can not be locked again.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] mimmo_l:
Hi Ax1qwer, thanks for the reply, I found a thread that does show going back to stock but it says i risk bricking if i downgrade bootloader. how do i know which bootloader I have?

other threads mention rsd lite, and retin or retus or just upgrading rom etc..

Do i need to upgrade my twrp version? (i tried installing a rom last night (experience) and i could not saying something about incompatibility? I installed twrp app, it shows only moto z as an option and griffin as the bootloader is that the correct version?

Am a little overwhelmed. any links (to instructions or files) would be awsome.

Thanks
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Ax1qwer:
Do you have moto z or moto z play? On screen i see XT1635-02, so its moto z - addison.

You can flash latest stock 7.1.1 with october security patch using rsd lite. It should be without brick.

Do not try flash 6.0.1 or 7.0 stock roms.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] astmacca:
Posted the below in another thread that had similar query? Worked for me to get back to unrooted stock. As it is the latest update, do not know if my phone will now do the OTA thingy but will find out next update i guess??

Well, ADB is your friend and for me what worked was:

Downloaded firmware from: https://androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=215703

Then, use fastboot to flash files as follows:

Apply these commands from the bootloader!

You can get there by holding "power" and "volume down" at the same time while your device is powered off.

Flash those only when necessary!

Do only flash these if you didn't upgrade to nougat before, you could BRICK your device!

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Those should be safe to flash, but i don't guarantee that something bad could happen!

If you should get stuck with these commands just restart the bootloader and try again.

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash oem oem.img

fastboot erase carrier

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata Not necessary but recommended!

fastboot erase DDR

For reference and credit where its due, I got all this from other peoples work....as you do....on this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/mot...-otas-t3557917

Think you have to be careful with this. Make sure the firmware is for YOUR model phone, and be aware that i had already gotten 7.1.1 with appropriate bootloader on my phone. READ LOTS before doing this as its resetting things to a pretty fundamental level and that is not without risk. That said, worked for me in a pretty straight forward fashion.

Outcome is that i now have stock with the latest update and stock recovery. Everything got wiped.

XT1635-02, reteu, 7.1.1, 1 October 2017 security patches, NPNS26.118-22-2-3

Battery life in my usage is back to the really good levels i had come to expect from this phone. I'm a light user. Maybe 40mins music playing to bluetooth headphones, a Garmin watch linked by bluetooth, wireless on all the time home or work per day. Calls and SMS but nothing really long. Currently phone has been on 21 hours straight, is down to 71% battery, and it saying has 3 days left. No special apps or battery saving measures in place.

Whats not to like about that??
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] mimmo_l:
thank astmacca

Since I bought the phone i am not sure about this part "Do only flash these if you didn't upgrade to nougat before, you could BRICK your device! "

It had a custom 7.1.1 rom on it but I don't know what was done or if teh bootloader was upgraded ... Is there any way to tell?

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] astmacca:
"It had a custom 7.1.1 rom on it but I don't know what was done or if teh bootloader was upgraded ... Is there any way to tell?"

Not sure. maybe fastboot getvar all command would show the bootloader version??

I took a punt a while ago and flashed the bootloader from the latest nougat stock rom. From my reading i think once you have upgraded to a nougat bootloader then the bricking prob is if you try to revert to an android 6 bootloader?? starting to get into an areas that i think others on XDA are more qualified than me to speak to. :(

I just got one to go with my 8525. It paired without issue. the music sounds great and calls work without issue as well.

However, I lowered the volume using the buttons on the headset and soon realized that i can not raise the volume. So now the head set is basically useless.

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Toffolo1:
Hi all, this may seem like a strange question.

Just got a new Mate 10 Pro, and when I switched it on for the first time the battery percentage was at 42%. I've read somewhere that as a general rule for new phones, batteries are normally between 50 and 60% out of the box, and if it is anything less this could be a sign that the battery is faulty (e.g. can't hold charge for long). Also my last few phones have actually been around 50-60%, so was a little concerned to see it at 42%.

Does anyone know if this is true or what I've read is a load of rubbish?

Don't want to return phone but will if I have to.

Thanks.

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Toffolo1:
I spoke to Huawei and they say they've had multiple cases of battery being below 60% due to phones being accidently turned on in transit. They suggested charging to 100%, then leaving phone in airplane mode overnight with all apps closed and seeing how much the battery drains. Anything above 96% is a good battery apparently.

Seen quite a few reports of zero % out of the box (which is pretty unusual....most phones I've had seem to be about 60%) but doesn't seem to be an issue... maybe that's how they ship them now...for whatever reason ????

Guys, the battery measurements seem to be screwed up at first. Even when I switched phone off, it drained like 10%. However, after about 3 full charges, everything is great. Still at 100% in 2 days (yeah, I left it off for 2 days just to check). So, my theory is just that the phone needs to calibrate its measurement of the charge percentage.
