[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] WyldOne91:
I feel like I should know how to do this and I just can't think right now...

I have 8.0 and the latest TWRP installed. Root with Magisk as well. I want to update to 8.1 but I don't want to have to factory reset the phone by flashing 8.1 to it and then reflashing root & TWRP. There's a way to do this that I'm not thinking of, right?

I read another post about using FlashFire but regardless of where I put the factory image, the app doesn't see it. So I feel like I'm at a loss right now.

Am I missing something? Thanks in advance!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
This is how I upgraded to 8.1, my setup before I upgraded was the same as yours.

1. Bootloader and unlock_critical both unlocked?

2. Download and extract the factory image, and place all contents in your SDK platform tools folder.

3. Edit the flash-all.bat file and remove the -w in the last line of code. (This prevents your data from being wiped)

4. Double click the flash-all.bat file to start the process. It'll take a little while, so be patient.

5. Once it's done, get back to bootloader mode.

6. Flash the twrp.img file. This will take you to temporary twrp.

7. Once in twrp, flash the twrp.zip, then flash custom kernel.zip(optional) then flash your magisk.zip.

8. Reboot and done.

Couple of caveats, make sure your using a good USB transfer cable, and it's recommended to remove your finger print and/or password/pin, and uninstall any themes you have installed. Hope all goes well for you :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] WyldOne91:
Cool thank you I will give this a shot later tonight! One question, what is "unlock_critical?" I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere else before.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
The pic is from the Google factory image page. Unlock_critical must be performed on the P2XL to allow the bootloader to be updated with future monthly security or software updates. This does not apply to the standard P2. Be advised, this WILL wipe your phone. However, you really don't have much choice if you want to flash monthly factory images.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] WyldOne91:
Oh crap... I only ran the OEM unlock. Welp, looks like I'm going to end up wiping anyways. Thanks for the info though. This is definitely one of those situations where I assumed I knew what I was doing and ran with it without actually reading the process.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
No problem my friend. There's a lot to learn on these new pixel devices. There are plenty threads on these forum with tons of info on whatever topic you may have questions about. Just takes time, patience, lots of reading, and a willingness to learn :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] CyberpodS2:
Since you are rooted, and already have the mindset that all is or will be lost you have the opportunity to try a couple options that if fail nothing lost...

After doing away with screen security and any themes, do Full backup in TWRP and also use TiBu to back up all your apps and then move them off the phone until after you do your thing.

After you do the critical unlock and get 8.1 installed and rooted you could try restoring the TWRP data partition and see what happens. Worst case it's either not booting or just acting funky. Do a factory wipe and not much lost.

Or... Use TiBu to save some time restoring all your apps. While I have had pretty good luck with restoring data on most apps, a few either won't restore or are boned in some way. Some other folks had a really hard time with restoring data so maybe just restore the apps without data. I run over 100 apps and have been through some version of this many times while playing around. With my crappy internet out here in the boonies it took 4 hours for google to restore all my apps and that's with hardly no data. It took about 20 minutes to restore most everything through TiBu. I would not restore data in the big initial bulk restore but instead go back and cherry pick the data restore on the things you need.

Again worst case all lost but you assumed that anyway and maybe you can save some time and effort if either option works.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] WyldOne91:
Yeah for sure. I'm always willing to learn!

Yeah I actually already ran a backup with Titanium Backup and moved it to my PC last night just in case I did something stupid haha but I appreciate the tips!

This is the fix I use https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/smart-lock-not-working.686667/#post-17143976

It's really annoying. Mine does it all the time. In some occasions opening an app that uses GPS seems to help it kick in, on others, the options on the smart lock page have gone.

Hi guys i am a new poster to this forum. I have searched all over for a stock firmware for the Zte Blade D otherwise known as the Zte T610 and have found nothing, so i would like to know if anyone here has it and is able to share it with me or at least point me in the direction where i might find it. I apologize for my first post being a cry for help but my knowledge of mobile firmware is very limited so i am currently unable to share any methods or guides towards helping anyone fix any problems they might be encountering, but if anyone could help me, that would be very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hello everybody I was wondering if anyone knows anything about possibly porting the watch faces from the Gear Fit Pro in the Gear Fit Pro 2. I know that those watches are more actual fitness watches but I'm wondering is it possible that we with the gear S3 could possibly have watch faces that are more sporty or that show more about Fitness tracking on the watch face. I found a few but none that look as sleek and slim down as they do on the Gear Fit 2 pro.

I was wondering, how often do the people here at XDA clear their phone cache (both app cache in the Settings app and the cache partition in the recovery)?

Also, is there any benefit in clearing them frequently, say daily?
[General Questions and Answers] -Hope-:
Cache partition is used to save downloaded important files to make the app load faster rather than regenerating the data everytime.

Clearing cache is often done to troublesome an app

Or when you feel that you don't need some stored data by an app

Doing it daily is not recommended thought

Monthly or even each 2 monthes

Hi guys,

so how is it? I come to some information that in order for the ethernet to work with your phone you have to have the ethernet option in your phone network settings. I don't have ethernet in options anywhere on my LG V30 yet you guys write that it works. So does it work for you even though you also don't have the ethernet option in your settings? Thanks.

There's another thing I've done that 'just works' (mostly) when connected to an OTG cable. A wireless keyboard and mouse. My Logitech adapter thing, just plug it in via otg... boom, now your logitech mouse and keyboard work on your phone.

The only 'settings' that seem to effect this are having a 'midi' connection in dev options usb type. But basically you only find out if it will work by trying it. Pretty sure I didn't have to change the setting, it just recognized it and auto switched, can't remember, been awhile.

First thought that it could be a problem with the f2fs-bug, but data-partition is ext4 formatted.

You'll notice I have slightly changed your thread title as it appeared to be a statement of fact "wifi sucks on the Tilt". Your problem is not normal behaviour for the Tilt (though I think I saw another thread about Wifi cutting out in a regular pattern). Worth a search, or wait for replies here.

How to be sure?

Uninstall all related driver programs, check usbdeview on connected device and uninstall accordingly.

Connect and axon does not get fully installed, yellow ? In device manager. Install with local google usb_driver does not work.

Only with ZTE driver I got adb device. Then adb devices and fastboot devices works. But still can not lock.

I found my old aboot_lock.img from unlocking backup... But it's getting more scary step by step.

Not sure what I did wrong along the way.

EDL FULL then original MMrollback. Shouldn't this be all stock ZTE everywhere? Why fastboot does not like me...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
This hasn't got anything to do with the drivers. I mean, delete the fastboot.exe and adb.exe that you have, then download the "15 seconds ADB installer" and install it, and try again
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] lxlx:
OK, a bit more digging.

I have 15sec-adb installed systemwide in C:\adb>

C:\adb>dir /B
aboot.img
aboot_lock.img
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot.exe
strings.exe

as you can see, I put my aboot dumps there as well, and a strings-linux-like tool - after

reading this thread.

so, I got the ZTE driver to have my Axon7 visible to adb/fastboot (otherwise no device) ... and I have the latest 15sec adb here.

C:\adb>fastboot devices
823b48f5 fastboot

... but that's the only thing that works. not even easy things like this do

C:\adb>fastboot continue
resuming boot...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.015s

quoting the other thread

so I'm not sure if my fastboot version is the problem. I rather think that the Nougat->MM stock thingy, overwrite my Axon7 aboot.img with only a small set of fastboot commands available.

in my backup I see

C:\adb>strings aboot* | findstr /i oem
C:\adb\aboot.img: 04 0004 OEM_ID1
C:\adb\aboot.img: oem unlock is not allowed
C:\adb\aboot.img: oem unlock
C:\adb\aboot.img: oem unlock-go
C:\adb\aboot.img: oem lock
C:\adb\aboot.img: oem device-info
C:\adb\aboot.img: is_oem_unlock_allowed
C:\adb\aboot_lock.img: 04 0004 OEM_ID1
C:\adb\aboot_lock.img: oem unlock is not allowed
C:\adb\aboot_lock.img: oem unlock
C:\adb\aboot_lock.img: oem unlock-go
C:\adb\aboot_lock.img: oem lock
C:\adb\aboot_lock.img: oem device-info
C:\adb\aboot_lock.img: is_oem_unlock_allowed

so in old and new aboot I had oem-commands available, back then...

I'm not an expert, but do you guys really know that my problem is related to the PC-config I have, and not to the device-config?

I can not check aboot on device, as I'm not root.
