[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] applesauceChris:
I'm using the stock debloated and rooted ROM, I prefer stock because it has better quality calls and because of the battery, it's just amazing, with linage is 14.1 I could even last a full day with a lot of use. But with stock I've been in a small trip with friends and most of the time we were with the Bluetooth and GPS on, battery lasted all day long, and over night it just use 2% of battery. Also you can install Xposed, so you have almost the same customization as Linage OS. The only thing that bother me is that I can not make run my favorite sound mod, Dolby ATMOS.

I'll wait until a stock debloated and rooted 8.0 or 8.1 ROM appears or gets developed.

It's always fun in XDA, thanks for the great times I've had in this forum.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Smonic:
I'm also using the stock debloated ROM but unrooted. I don't have a need for root really. But this ROM is amazing.

I had the phone for around 8-9 months before I could be bothered going to the trouble of unlocking bootloader and such. Will never look back, I have so much more free internal storage and phone is a lot faster!

My phone is a Galaxy Alpha, SM-G850F, latest update from 2017-04-24. Factory reset. Just entered accounts.

My Odin (in admin mode) connects fine, ID:COM, 0:[COM6] for example ...

Phone is in download mode, USB debugging enabled, ADB connects fine as test when booted, external software allowed (if that matters).

Trying to flash twrp recovery, e.g., 3.1.1.,

nothing happens!

No download, nothing. Why?

This should be possible without rooting!

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ilatimer1:
Hello everyone,

So today is the day (at least for me) that I want to try applying the Jan OTA to my Pixel 2 XL. I am currently using Magisk and ElementalX kernel and was wondering if anyone has tried this yet (I know, the OTA just came out)?

If someone has an idea on the process to do this please let me know.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] BabelHuber:
Kernel, TWRP and Magisk get overwritten by the OTA. You need to reinstall.

Also I'd recommend to disable all Substratum themes before flashing - for me this led to a Bootpool...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
I recommend using the full image (not OTA) downloaded from Google. Extract the files from the zip into your ADB folder, open up flash-all.bat with a text editor and remove the -w (wipe) switch from the script. Save. Then just execute that file from a fastboot prompt. You will not lose data or settings, but you will lose TWRP, kernel & Magisk. When the script finishes running, boot back into fastboot mode (bootloader) and from your PC, fastboot boot twrp. When it loads queue up (add zips) TWRP.zip, Kernel.zip, Magisk.zip and let her rip. Reboot to system and everything will be normal. Just make sure you have those three files (latest versions) on your phone AND the twrp.img on your PC so you can boot to it. Takes about 3 minutes if you have all the files in place before starting.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] peoplesindian:
What's the difference between this step and sideloading the OTA?

Edit: nevermind. Realized you'd flash-all without the -w if you have TWRP.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
Yes, OTA's fail to execute if you have modified the boot or system partition. An OTA is an incremental only update that selectively writes certain files and is (usually) much, much smaller. This is appropriate for a stock, unmodified device. Lots of people get tired of waiting for the OTA to come, and so they just update manually by sideloading the OTA through the stock recovery (over adb). Nothing wrong with that, and it this will sometimes bring a phone back from bootlooping or other serious problems like FC's and crashing.

A full image contains the full partition images and they are written to the device fully and unconditionally via fastboot. You can only flash a full image if your bootloader is unlocked. It essentially erases the partitions by overwriting the entire contents from beginning to end. Some would argue this more "complete" method is less likely to result in errors, or corrupt files. Removing the -w switch from the batch file script prevents the script from overwriting the userdata partition where all your media, user apps and settings are. Some call this "dirty" flashing.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] WorldOfJohnboy:
REALLY dumb question, but how do you execute a .bat from fastboot? Or do you mean with the phone in bootloader/fastboot mode, run the modified .bat?

EDIT: Never mind... put the phone in Bootloader/fastboot mode. Ran the modified .BAT from command prompt within the Platform-tools folder.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
I did it last night with no issues. The process is pretty simple.

1) adb reboot bootloader

2) fastboot flash boot /location/of/december/boot.img

3) fastboot flash dtbo /location/of/december/dtbo.img

4) reboot

5) allow the OTA to install

6) adb reboot bootloader

7) fastboot boot twrp

8) install TWRP then custom kernel then Magisk

7) reboot

Basic steps, starting from STF-L09C432B120:

1. the process will delete all your data, make backup of data partition and internal SD with FlashFire (data partition can be encrypted)

2. download "stock service B130" from:

https://xdaforums.com/honor-9/development/firmware-huawei-honor-9-stf-l09-stock-t3696892

3. copy UPDATE.APP to external SDCARD into /dload folder

4. dial *#*#2846579#*#*, Project menu - Software update - SD card upgrade - OK

5. let the phone reboot

6. delete UPDATE.APP and copy update_STF-L09_hw_eu.app to external SDCARD into /dload folder and rename file to UPDATE.APP

7. dial *#*#2846579#*#*, Project menu - Software update - SD card upgrade - OK

8. unlock bootloader, phone will do factory reset again

9. reboot phone

10. flash this TWRP-3.1.1.1_120_130_170.img:

https://mega.nz/#!WVhkwQjY!ND1Qo3kmoXP0qI_IlRHVXdxHZ3fES-ze_mPsSc_Bpg4

This TWRP should maintain function of capacitive buttons.

11. root with:

SuperSU-v2.82-greatslon[1].zip:

https://mega.nz/#!aN5j0bhK!ZefGuA1X6gPS4Nxcef6WaLN9rrhTBQLJzr051mrDLwM

https://mega.nz/#!3NgwBAbB!06rT0bQ4Erjhv1neSi1TG8mD0DCctd3rl5G064N0alg

12. restore data partition and internal SD card partition with FlashFire

Now you should have B130 with working capacitive buttons. :)

You tried with Magisk on b180 and buttons still not working?

Nah, Magisk seem difficult to install, but is easy also without custom recovery.

- Install the Magisk Manager apk

- Press Install > Install > Patch Boot Image File, and select your stock boot image file

- Magisk Manager will now patch your boot image, and store it in [Internal Storage]/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img[.tar]

Copy the patched boot image to your PC.

- Flash the patched boot image to your device and reboot. Here is the command if using fastboot: fastboot flash boot /path/to/patched_boot.img
