Thank you!

Thank you for pointing out that I was in the wrong area; I didn't even notice that. The information you gave me, however, looks like it's enough for me to safely switch to a Pixel 2 XL and go from there. Thanks for the quick reply! I did also click the thanks button. :)

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DuckRuckus:
Okay, so I need some help here. Got my Pixel 2 today from Verizon and it was still on the Dec. patch. Unlocked the bootloader successfully, but I can't sideload the proper Jan. OTA, and I can't install TWRP, so I can't root. Do I need to re-lock the BL, sideload the OTA, and start all over? I still haven't activated it or connected to wi-fi, so VZW can't change anything. Of note , the SIM card was removed prior to doing any of this. Help would be much appreciated. Current Build is 8.1.0 (OPM1.171019.011, Dec 2017) and still unlocked
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] computerslayer:
It'll be best to start your own thread for support on your problem. When you do, include what you've tried before (steps followed, with link) and what file you're trying to apply.

You should not have to relock the bootloader. From your description, it sounds like you've got some confusion about how to properly update to the latest security release. We can help you through that in your own thread.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DuckRuckus:
8.1.0 (OPM1.171019.013, Jan 2018) The one in the OP. Also,

twrp-pixel2-installer-walleye-3.2.1-2.zip, plus the corresponding .img file

Hi,

I just got a Verizon pixel 2. I wished I had read this thread before turning it on. Now I'm already on Feb security patch (OPM1.171019.019). Am I out of luck to root or unlock bootloader?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DuckRuckus:
As of now, sadly, yes. Your Pixel 2 was a Google device until you connected it. Once that happened, it became a VZW device. Your best bet is to figure out a way to return it and get another one from a corporate store. Eat the restocking fee if you have to...it's worth it.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] tradermatt:
Can I buy a VZW PIxel 2 XL now and still do this?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrkhigh:
No.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] giant22000:
Just used this method on a nib vzw pixel 2. Can I now just flash the latest release from google and continue on or do I have to stay on this older firmware?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DuckRuckus:
I have this question, as well. So long as it's not a Verizon update, will it be safe to do this (referring to 8.1.0 (OPM1.171019.021, Mar 2018))?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] giant22000:
Just downloaded March update and flashed. Still got unlocked bootloader.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DuckRuckus:
Is everything working, with no issues?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] giant22000:
Yes sir. TWRP and magisk working as expected.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DuckRuckus:
Did they persist through the installation, or did you have to redo the whole process?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] giant22000:
With the -w command removed, you'll need to reinstall TWRP, root and kernel (if not on stock boot.img).
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DuckRuckus:
If I remember correctly, TWRP and Magisk alter the system partition, so they wouldn't persist either way, after a firmware update. I don't think that -w has much to do with anything other than the data partition, but I have been wrong several times in my life :)
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] giant22000:
That's my understanding as well.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cloudxy:
Rooted successfully, Thanks a bunch!!

From what I've read around a little, it seems now I should install TWRP & Magisk.. or something like that. Im wondering if SuperSU is a separate install or perhaps its not needed with the prior two

I figured my understanding was right that I needed to sideload but didn't want to blow my chances at root as I havent really rooted a phone for nearly a decade. Much is new, though its nice seeing some stuff being the same.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] b00ster23:
Keep in mind I said "GOOGLE" Pixel 2-XL. If you purchase a "VERIZON" Google Pixel2-XL... different scenario.

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------

Can you please report which version of the OS your "NIB VZW PIXEL 2" arrived with. This may assist others determine whether they want to risk the purchase of the VZW variant or not.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] giant22000:
Bought local corporate store. It arrived with Dec sec patch.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] b00ster23:
Ahhhh Gotcha. In that case, hard to say whether it was back stock or shipped with December. Cool.... Thanks boss
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] core2kid:
So once you unlock the bootloader, can you load the Google factory image that's not for Verizon and relock the BL? Will the option not be grayed out anymore?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] b00ster23:
If you relock the bootloader and update your image you will not be unable to unlock the boatloader again. Let alone if you installed custom kernels, etc you could brick your device. See OP and my post underneath.

Flashing the newer image, OTA etc to a newer build, regardless if it's VZW image, will stop you from unlocking your BL on your VZW phone. Once you've determined to unlock your VZW phone BL, best to leave it that way. Unless you want to sell, RMA, warranty repair, etc.

Can we lock this thread as it's relevance had ended?

Hi everyone, I am new to this whole process so bear with me. I just got my pixel 2 on build OPD3.170816.012, I am trying this method but when I try the unlock command prompt says "awaiting any devices", how do I proceed from here?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] b00ster23:
Did you update ADB with the latest? Assuming you're referring to a Verizon model?

As stated in the OP DO NOT ALLOW AUTO UPDATE

That is my first time to post a Thread in XDA so bare with me

First of all i saw 2 persons with P10 plus stuck in erecovery+no twrp+locked bootloader+unable to unlock Bl

so i searched around the forums with the same problem there is bits of solutions there and here but not a complete one

so i unlocked my phone installed twrp and started the process with no twrp help only using my pc and Firmware finder app on pc

only pick firmware according to your model number

so requirements

1-working pc with windows

2-a USB cable

3-some knowledge of your router system and how to change the DNS in my case it was (ZTE) mostly your default router IP is (192.168.1.1) user:admin pass:admin

4-Firmware application on PC (https://xdaforums.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146) download it Open Firmware Finder PC Program Now click on common Base. look for your Firmware in my case i wrote (VKY-L29C185) Now on your Firmware Change-log link right click Copy address (Tip Do not take a firmware that is not approved yet to be safe as an example i picked VKY-L29C185B171 though B172 is approved i took B171 and you can update via OTA later) after you copy the address go firmware finder and go to proxy tab and follow the steps from there

here some pictures of the process in the Attachments

(sorry for my bad English)

i took the idea from that Thread (https://xdaforums.com/mate-9/how-to/funky-huawei-erecovery-solution-100-t3620165) Thanks to him and to my friends on Telegram group [MENTION=477335]Blackball[/MENTION]

how to fix it

[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] v587zzy:
1. change your router DNS

2. use the FF software, find your package in firmware finder, and set it in proxy, and then double check your eRecovery in the same proxy window.

3. start the phone with eRecovery, you should be good to go.

Follow the original thread, there are bits here and there, if you read it a few times, you should be fine.

Hello!

I've looking around for the information regarding HTC Home plugin tab "Sound" and exactly - what is "Sound:Automatic" (the last setting) - when the sound is on and when it's off? Is the on and off time customizable?

Thanks in advance.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
The idea of "Automatic" is that sound is turned off (automatically) during appointments in the Calendar.

Funny, I've just swapped my old 5 tab home for the new 6 tab version and was wondering the same thing.

So does anyone have any details of how to make settings for this auto option, I.E if they are dependant on calender events where are the options to set call settings??

Anyone?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
I don't get your question; why do you need additional settings? If there is an appointment in Calendar, the phone is switched to silent at start-time and back to noise again at end-time, that's it.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] niobium:
The 'automatic' setting also sets the phone to vibrate if there is a birthday. And that for the entire day!

This makes it a pretty useless feature because I have around 200 birthday's in y calendar.

Modifying the settings so 'free' and 'Out of office' to be excluded from the 'automatic' profile would be very usefull!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] malsehn:
that's exactly why there is a PROFILE existing for it ;) so you can choose the day's when the phone should behave so, and when it schouldn't.. example: on tuesday you have meeting at 2 pm, you can set to this auto-profile at the morning and so you won't forget to set your phone to vibrate before the meeting.. nobody here seriously would turn on this profile the whole year, wouldn't? ;)

[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
C900 means your device was crossflashed with a mate 8 firmware from a region that is not equal to the region of your phone. so youll need to get back to your original regional code (=cust) before being able to update to newer firmware versions.

Please help.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ippybear:
Upgrading Me Max 2

Maybe your file is corrupted. The best file ( in my option ) is the Indian 19s, but its getting hard to find.

If / when you have it, simply put in in the phones storage, in the main directory ( root directory ) and just click on the file itself. It does everything else for you.

The updater etc on the phone doesn't appear to work, and many phones don't even have it anyway.

I did it yesterday, but have already got rid of it and installed twrp , and then lineage as the operating system . I'm using it now !
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo, for sure is your Le Max 2 an x820? Does it say that on the back of the phone? It sounds more like you might have an x829 and are on the NA release version of 5.8.016s which is indeed a modified version with version upgrades disabled.

In that case? Your best bet is to replace your EUI Recovery with a Chinese or Indian variant.

This link has stock recovery

http://www.androidiani.com/forum/le...rmware-stock-leeco-china-india-lemax-2-a.html

Reboot to bootloader and use a PC to flash it via

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Then reboot and rename your EUI ROM to update.zip

Move update.zip to the root folder of your device

Reboot to recovery

Select update from file

Reboot and enjoy

Hi all, anybody know of a music player that will syce between multiple devices including a pc? I usually use the Amazon music app but they've discontinued music uploads. Amy help would be great thanks.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jdock:
Google play music is not without its flaws but it will at least do this (as long as you can live with uploading only from the PC or by using workarounds like a cloud storage synced folder).

I never noticed Amazon had disabled uploads for non-paying customers - there were things I liked better about the player, but the free storage limit was too small to be useful to me anyway.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] railfan-eric:
if you use iTunes you can use iSyncr and sync your playlists to your android devices and use Poweramp or a music player of your choice. Poweramp is a top notch player with a high quality EQ btw. I used to use Google Play Music from time to time but it is lousy at syncing from my computer to the cloud and to the phone and tablet. it adds the same albums like 4 times over in the playlists and gets them all screwed up. So i gave up.

-Resetted it via its internal recovery (delete everything)

-Deinstalled Firmware Touch (2.1.15.0 - 12.08.2013) and Firmware Configuration (0.0.33.0 - 12.08.2013)

-HID Touchscreen (6.3.9600.16384 - 21.06.2006)

-Restarted

-Windows Installed just "Firmware" then and claimed its the newest one...:silly:

-I read there was Firmware 2.1.17.0 (but only for Surface 2 WiFi... (?)

-And I read about KB3172729 which led to this problem according to this link :

which I installed (deleted TPM via F12) and only had issues whiel entering a password for the user...cursor dissapeared and it was laggy as hell.
