[Huawei Watch 2] Serge Winters:
The correct way is first check you watch codename... for example.. enable adb on developers options (is chinese so you have to do 7 taps anywhere on settings util the menu get enabled xD)

after that connect the phone to your pc over adb and do:

adb shell getprop ro.product.device

if the watch is Sawshark then you have to download from janjan post the Sawshark version, and if the adb command return Sawfish then download the Sawfish version... after that do a

1.

adb reboot bootloader

2.

fastboot oem unlock

3. hold vol + to confirm...

(after that the watch will show Unlocked Yes)

4. download twrp recovery from janjan post

5.

fastboot boot oreo-recovery.img

6. swipe for allow modifications on twrp...

(you can try to wipe data but you cant.. )

7. tap install / sideload

8. download busybox

9.

adb sideload busybox .zip

back to twrp.. and do again Install / sideload

10.

adb sideload romdownloaded.zip

after that...

11. tab reboot / bootloader

12. extract the boot.img from the downloaded rom..

13.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

14.

fastboot reboot

Done.. thats the easy way to convert any watch 2 from china to international :D

pd: if you cant even config your watch 2 from china because the WearOS app or Android Wear cant be used with your watch 2 to do the first step and know the codename of your watch.. search for this old android wear apk from china 2.0.0 com.google.android.wearable.app.cn

Hey guys,

Just want to report that I have luck flashing a k450 with US610 firmware.

Please follow the steps at your own risk. I haven't tested if everything still work correctly.

Steps:

1) Download US610 kdz file (just do a quick google search, you should find it in the top results)

2) Extract the kdz with this tool:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2600575

You should get a dz and dll file

3) Use lg flash tool V1.8.1.1023 to flash using the dz file and dll file extracted in step 2.

After the flashing is done, you would boot into a "minios" and

a) you should see a message "Factory reset status 2".

b) Wait a while until the message updates to "Factory reset status 3"

c) power off using pwr+vol- button.

d) power back on it should boot into android. It takes around 5 minutes for first boot.

Now since it wasn't even checking for k450 model vs us610 model mismatch, I suppose one might be able to obtain root by repacking the dz file with appropriate boot/system/recovery image.

While there's no known way to unlock the bootloader for the snaprdragon variants (K450, US610), the bootloader may not be locked to begin with. Therefore If we can repack dz file and still be able to flash a modified dz file (it should be applicable to all models?) I think we would have a good starting point for custom rom.

Questions that need answered:

1) Does download mode accept a modified dz file? i.e. prehaps the individual partition image is signed with a private key by LG and validated using a public key from the device?

2) Does the bootloader allow booting unsigned image?

Please follow the steps at your own risk. I haven't tested if everything still work correctly.

1) Call works (not sure if this phone supports VOLTE - it drops to 3G/H+ when calling)

2) LTE works on tmobile (unlocked before flashing US610 rom)

3) WIFI works

4) Camera works

5) light sensor works

Hi guys,

I had a problem with my Samsung S6 (6.01/MMB29K/G920W8VLU5CPK4) and I needed to bypass the lock screen without losing the data (this is very important :crying:).

In another forum an user suggested me to flash this image:

https :// mega nz/#!4YciVTSJ!G-oMWgJAi...MPMb3xIKKdL-Og

with Odin 3.12.10

The flashing process went well:

https :// imgur com/a/5JpjW

but when the phone rebooted it remained stuck with the error: "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing".

Now, the phone cannot be powered off.

The recovery mode doesn't work

The download mode is available (I tried to re-flash, but no luck).

Someone can please help me?

Thank you in advance
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forumber2:
You need flash your firmware via Odin (one piece software, not 4 piece). And you will your phone with your data back.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avok78:
Thank you for your help.

What do you mean with "one piece software"?

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godkingofcanada:
He means its just one file from sammobile or one zip if a custom ROM. You don't need to flash multiple files. When you do that you replace things one by one, the kernel is contained in the ROM or firmware. No need to flash
[Galaxy S6 Active] NDTon:
Hi all,

I want to change the value of " Set Preferred network type" on my S6 Active from "LTE/UMTS auto (PRL) " to " LTE/CDMA/UMTS auto(PRL)". I have tried by *#4636#*#* / Device Information/ Set Preferred Network type but after exit, i turn back to check is it save? It is not save my setting, Preferred still "LTE/UMTS auto (PRL) ". I also try change the value of that setting with adb and changed "ro.telephony.default_network=9" in to "ro.telephony.default_network=10". Commands are listed below :

1.) adb pull /system/build.prop

2.) adb root

3.) adb root remount rw

4.) adb root chmod 664 /system/build.prop

5.) adb root push ./build.prop /system/build.prop

at the last step, after "adb root push ./build.prop /system/build.prop" , i have reboot my phone and check the result by

*#4636#*#* / Device Information/ Set Preferred Network type

But the value is not changed !!! So tired !!!

Can you tell me how to change that setting?

Thanks a lot !

[General Topics] KK**:
Situation is:

Phone One: HTC Touch running Danish O/S Windows Mobile 6 Professional CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)

Phone Two: HTC Cruise running English O/S Windows Mobile 6 Professional CE OS 5.2.1623 (build 18129.0.4.5)

Word completion on #1 appears as a list of words above the keyboard (much nicer - not least because it works!)

Word completion on #2 appears as a black bar above the keyboard.

On #1 word completion works and it stores and suggests my words (except words containing any of the Danish letters, but that's ok).

On #2 I have tried to un-check all options concerning auto completion but I have not managed to get rid of the black bar - it appears no matter the settings. Actually, I'm not even sure this black bar is a word completion tool. I don't know what it is cause it does not seem to serve any useful purpose (apart from taking up space on the screen). It never suggests any words, but only copies whatever I'm writing, sometimes in two versions: one with a small starting letter and one with a capital starting letter. If I tap the x I get a label "Add My Word". If I enter something I don't see that it's added anywhere, cause it never suggests this word if I start typing it again. I have conducted all these little tests with both English and Danish words (without the special characters, though) cause I have no idea in which language the dictionary is.

But... I could live without any word-completion. Thing is, the black bar has another and worse problem that I can't live with: It does not recognize one of the Danish characters "å". The other two "æø" work fine.

When entering a word with the unrecognized letter - like "håb" (Hope) - the Danish character is not appearing in the black bar and the resulting word in the application in which I'm writing is "åHb". The Danish character is always placed at the beginning of the word it is a part of.

That was the background info. Questions are:

Does anyone know to turn off this annoying black bar?

and

Does anyone recognize the letter-switching-"feature" and know of a solution?
[General Topics] KK**:
Late breaking news

Ok, so I'm talking to myself :cool: ... but who knows - if someone else experience something like or is equally confused about input settings, perhaps this might help them, too.

I have tried to find out more about the "black bar" and come to realize these "late breaking news":

Options/Settings relating to the Keyboard (Keyboard/Word Completion tab) has no effect on anything.

The black bar is related to the Touch Keyboard and appears even if the Touch keyboard is not the selected input method and even if word completion (and all other "typing assistance" functions) is turned off for the Touch Keyboard.

Turning on Word Completion in Options/XT9 Settings for the Touch Keyboard also affects typing with the Keyboard.

Thus, turning on Word Completion for the Touch Keyboard and using the Keyboard as input method, word completion actually works :-) and it is possible to add words - even words containing the two (out of three) Danish characters that work.

So, word completion as such works (allthough it seems that the settings and effects of these settings are kind of mixed up and criss-crossing between the various input methods) but the one Danish character still does not work - it is still placed at the beginning of the word it is in, as described in the first post. :(

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] UniX1rm:
I was trying to sell one pixel 2 xl on swappa and the prices are going crazy low. How are all these people selling new 128 GB for just $700ish range ? The phone isn't really that old yet.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] scottjal:
Verizon's running a $300 off on it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
I'm noticing the same thing. I considered selling my 2 XL and picking up a OnePlus 5T. When I took a look at pricing on SWAPPA I was very surprised to see the current prices people are selling the phone for. Previously, the Nexus/Pixel line-up held their value much better than what I'm seeing with the current 2 XL. It's sad but I think it can be chalked up to all the bad publicity this phone keeps receiving. Talk of these issues is seemingly more widespread than I thought.

For instance, on Christmas day a family member was checking out my phone and even though he is not a tech guy by any means, even he brought up the screen burn-in issues as well as the speaker buzzing noise issues. It threw me off, to be honest. Especially considering that this is a guy who never researches phones and has stuck with the Galaxy phone line-up simply because I recommended it to him like 3 years ago.

There is a reason why both Google and the carriers have already dropped the price. It sucks and it's directly affecting resale value.

On the plus side, I've experienced no issues with my device and it's the best phone I've ever owned. So this is just a good nudge for me to hold onto it and enjoy it longer, rather than making a jump to something else and inevitably regretting it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] KennyG123:
Add to this, the starting prices were up there with the iPhone X and Samsung Note 8! Previously Nexus phones were a good bit cheaper than the highest premium phones...this is why they were able to hold value longer.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] UniX1rm:
True. Personally, I don't consider Verizon to be a viable option because it is locked down. It equates to a regular Samsung phone at this point that is locked, but that is not what everyone thinks.

What really gets me is the price. Google did not do any price drops, they just did the holiday specials which was like 50 or 75 bucks.

But on swappa some people are selling the 128 for about 700 bucks. I don't know how they're getting the phones so cheap to sell them for that price. I hope the phone doesn't end up being like the essential phone what the pricing
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Touchwiz on a Sammy device is not quite the same as having a Google device, whether or not you bl unlock, but that's just me. Anyway, they are selling for closer to $800 new or mint. On the Google store you can get a brand new one for about $875. But perhaps you are forgetting about the trade in too. I can trade in my old Pixel and get another $300+ off that price. So I really don't think it has lost as much value as you suspect. And as for the Verizon branded one I paid $350 on BF (Pixel XL) with no trade in. If I sold it for $650 and used my old Pixel for another year I just netted close to 3 hundred. Personally, I think we're doing ok so far. Let's see in 6 months, however.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] UniX1rm:
True. I am hoping it doesn't plunge down..I just think the google one should and would hold the price against the Verizon one. It's like in the old days, Verizon and att phones had lower prices used than the T-Mobile ones because of the unlocked bl stuff.

Maybe I am just mad that since the pixel XL last year held up the price value well for a few months and didn't really drop dramatically except when the pixel 2 s were announced.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
As for last year you really can't compare, unfortunately. Google didn't give 5 cents off the Pixel or the XL even on black Friday. Verizon had one day, and that was BF, that they gave a tremendous deal of $10 / month and $15 for the XL for 24 months. That was it! Eventually they had a lame trade in deal but nothing from Google. This year is way different. There is really no reason to be spending more than 4 or 5 hundred for any of the devices with trade in at Google and VZW. I mean I believe that VZW even has a $300 off with no trade in! But then you're locked into them for 2 years and no bl unlock. So I believe that the price will not drop past the 6 or 7 number for some time. But I've been wrong once or twice.. :D
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Touchwiz has come a long way imo. The note 8 is a beast and it runs touchwiz, it junk back on like S3 & S4 but now it is great!

Also the pixel has $300+ off but I got $425 off my note 8 and had it the day it was released thanks to a preorder! I think I was like $570 ish for the note 8 out the door and shipped so the $300 off for the pixel seems quite small now! Let's see what it is in 6 months glad I sent my first few pixels back and got the newer $75 off savings!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
I've gotta agree with this. I was pleasantly surprised with the Touchwiz UI on my Galaxy S8. It never stuttered or lagged and was just as fast as my previous Pixel XL and current Pixel 2 XL. Touchwiz really has come a long way. The same cannot be said for the LG V30, however. LG's skin on that phone is absolutely horrible. It lags/stutters/hangs constantly and no matter how many LG apps you disable, it doesn't fix it.

If LG would have just refrained from touching the OS on that phone and left it with stock Android, I never would have bought my 2 XL to begin with. Such a sad let down. The V30 is just collecting dust on my office shelf. I need to take it back to T-Mobile but I keep forgetting about it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mlin:
I'd agree with this as well. My last Samsung device was the GS7 Edge and I was quite impressed. The performance was great and while not quite as fluid as the Pixel, was very consistent and stable, never slowing down over time. I think Samsung's kitchen sink approach from years past has paid off in the sense that the software additions they've kept are generally pretty useful and thoughtful additions not available in the pure Android experience.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Oh man the LG phone software dept is need of a revamp. It has been awful! I had a G4, G5, & G6 and literally could only use for a few days it was so bad!

I agree they have good hardware but their software is just plain awful! Send the v30 to me I'll test on Verizon!!

Yeah you should try the s8 or note 8. They are extremely fluid compared to the pixel not quite as fluid but very very close. Also the extra ram in note is helpful especially with the kitchen sink approach
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
I would but I've got it on my JUMP-On Demand program so I need to keep it to trade in on something else, at some point. I'm considering trading it in for the iPhone X to mess with for a while.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Man I wouldn't. The Iphone X is so small and weird UI imo the swipe thing is odd, the notch is odd, no fingerprint is odd and then small screen. Just get note 8 and be done!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
Eh, I'd prefer to turn the V30 in for nothing in return but then I'd lose my JUMP On-Demand. So I'll probably just trade the V30 in on a super cheap $5/month phone to have as a back-up, just in case.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Why are you against the note? Lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
Not against the note. I've just decided to hold on to the 2 XL because it's been great. I just need a cheap phone to keep my JUMP On-Demand program with TMobile. No sense in paying $30/month for the note to just throw it in a drawer.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
I see. I think the note & pixel combo is going to be hard to beat. That's what I'm going to be switching between
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
If I traveled more for work I'd probably get the note 8 to have the stylus, allowing me to be more productive with my phone on the go.

It's definitely something I may start considering, actually.
