[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] uday029:
I just got my new Pixel 2 and I am loving it so far. I used to have Samsungs/HTCs before I moved to Pixel. I used to use the volume tile icon to toggle between ringer and vibrate modes. Since I go to a lot of impromptu meetings, this tile was very useful. I could change the volume setting to ringer/vibrate/silent based on the type of meeting I was in. I don't see a similar tile or any other way to quickly toggle between vibrate/full volume/mute modes or the option to have the volume bar on the first pulldown of the menu.

How do I get this feature on my Pixel 2? Is there any way to add more tiles that are not provided in the default list?

Thank you.

Hello,

I messed with my Pixel phone and now I feel it bricked. It was working fine until I update it to 8.0 Oreo. Then I rooted it using magisk.

Later, I decided to re-lock my bootloader, which was really a big mistake. I did re-lock it using the following command:

fastboot oem lock

It showed me if I lock my bootloader, it would wipe everything. I hit yes.

After that, this issue started, my phone won't start, as soon as the google logo shows up, it restarts and does the same thing everytime.

I tried to install the factory image, "sailfish" for Pixel 8.1.0, using the following command:

flash-all

it gave me an error message. It said I need to unlock the bootloader.

Of course, I tried to unlock the bootloader using the following command:

fastboot flashing unlock

It also gave me an error message, it said:

FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)

I don't know what else should I do. I tried to find a solution for my problem, but there is no clear answer.

One of the common solution is to enable the USB debugging/OEM unlocking from the developer settings. But, again, I can't even turn on my phone and use it normally.

The only thing that I can access to is the bootloader screen.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] KittyRgnarok:
There are several threads which state "hey don't try relocking your bootloader for any reason" for a reason. You CANNOT relock these phones with ANY custom firmware or modifications. Your phone is bricked. You can try talking to Google and they /may/ rma your phone but there is 0 guarantee especially given that you did something that is a known feature and is intended to brick the phone. Can't hurt to try though
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] hamooz92:
You are totally right. I'll contact them to RMA my phone.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] KittyRgnarok:
Good luck. Update the thread with the results cuz I'm curious if they will rma a phone bricked like that

Hi Everyone -

I have found a source for the battery pack. It is a company called Sano Shop. Although it is a Japanese company, its page on this product is in english and the price is in USD (at least for US IP addresses). It got here without any issues.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] APTXDAVE:
Great find!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] VS88:
70USD for this! Great Scott!

Any pictures with it attached?
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: pictures of the battery pack for Zenwatch 3

[MENTION=6999112]VS88[/MENTION]

There is no need for pictures, the battery pack looks

exactly like the round charger which magnetically

attaches to the watch, it's dimensions are also the same.

Even the color is the same. LOL

If you want to try getting it for less money, go to eBay

I am sure they have sellers there who sell it for less.

Good luck, have a great day!

This is an update to Android 7.1.2 Nougat for the Pendoo T95Z Plus Android TV Box.

*This is for the 2Gb/16Gb version. It will Brick the 3Gb/32Gb! Use only for 2Gb/16Gb.

You will need to research the update proceedure to get it flashed into your box. Looks like there are two ways to do the update, 1, Use amlogic usb burning tool with a special usb cable, or 2, use a micro sd card to flash.

Warning: The Pendoo T95Z Plus has a different WiFi chip than the Sunvell, or other manufacturers of the T95Z boxes.

This worked for my Pendoo box with the "Fn-Link" WiFi chip. Posting here to help others out, as this update is almost impossible to find.

This came from Pendoo Customer Support as a link to download. Here is a link to the .zip file.

Do NOT flash this for anything but the Pendoo variant.

Go to: https://www.needrom.com/category/others/etc/

I think you will have to create an account, and log in, but it's not too bad.

Title of the rom is: Pendoo T95Z Plus (2Gb/16Gb) Android 7.1.2 Nougat Update Rom
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Ricky Divjakovski:
Is it 7.1.2 or 7.1.1?

Some firmwares claim to be 7.1.2 but after flashing and on build.prop are 7.1.1, also not that hard to port, specs are the same other than the wifi chip so should be extremely easy
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] TECHADDICT-5610:
It shows as version 7.1.2 in my settings on the box. I was actually surprised to get a reply from Pendoo with the link. Maybe the Chinese manufacturers are realizing that supporting their products is good for business.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] vmax377:
Hello, thanks for information. I installed the rom in my Sunvell t95z plus 9377 wifi chip and everything works very well the wifi connects in 2.4 and 5 gh, I only have the problem to install TWRP I have tried some but I can not install it, Any help?

Thank you very much
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] jjclements:
Thank you so much! Created an account just to let anyone else that stumbles across this know that it works on my T95ZPlus (2/16) with 9377 (LTM8830 on the circuit board) wifi chip. I know what a pig it can be to find firmware for correct wifi/bluetooth/infrared but this went on with no problems and everything works! I now have 7.1.2!

Thanks a million :highfive:

You don't need to pay sunshine for just root, you only need to unlock bootloader, flash twrp and flash magisk or supersu.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] dontrun:
I accidentally used the flash_factory script which lead to losing the imei number and persist

I was able to restore persist through twrp

Restoring imei number requires using diag mode

Diag mode doesn't work in android oreo for some reason

When I try to use it it always fails

I have to downgrade to the august build to use it and restore imei

When I try flashing the august patch my phone enters a bootloop and won't boot

Does anyone know a way to restore the imei in android oreo or a way to downgrade to the august build?

Or if anyone can help me I can send them my imei numbers and they can change their own numbers to mine

Then they can make a copy of modemst1 and modemst2 and give them to me

And then they can restore their original modemst1 and modemst2

Please help me.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] bfm.95:
hello,

since I updated my phone to Oreo I got a problem with mobile data

every time I put all apps to WiFi only also system apps, I just see that mobile data is on and it's used

I just want it on but I don't want any app to use it

on android 7 I was doing that fine but now I can't!

anyone got the same problem?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
I don't understand what you mean by "put all apps to Wifi".

I do know that if you have a wifi connection with internet access (no ! on the wifi status bar icon) and mobile data turned on, then the system will use the wifi connection in preference to the mobile data connection.

If you don't want to use mobile data, you can just turn it off in Settings>SIM & network>Mobile data or from Quick Settings if you have it there. You will still be able to get phone calls and SMS.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] bfm.95:
mate let me explain

I want to try the free Facebook, so I need to turn on my mobile data for this.

so I did that but I don't want other apps use any data in background so I set all apps to "WiFi Only" also I did that for system apps

but my problem is even when I do that, it's still showing that I'm using mobile data and something using it in the background.

it was working alright on the android 7.

thank you!!
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
Ah, now I understand.

I assume that you can't tell from the Settings>Mobile data usage who is using the data?

I don't know if this is off any relevance, but there's a number of apps that have unrestricted data access (Settings>Apps> Special access>Unrestricted data access).

Have you considered running a network activity monitoring app?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] bfm.95:
I know the problem now

probably I have to disable the first choice "background data"

but I should do it for each app... and I have more than 130 app that's impossible...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] scott5150:
I have a stock Samsung Galaxy S8+ G955U1 carrier unlocked phone. My goal is to run a simple bash script at startup (for automated file management tasks) with root permission. Although there appears to be one marginal method to root the device, there is very little information about the actual details involved and how the various systems work.

I believe that I could achieve my objective by flashing a modified system.img.ext4 file that has a command to start my script. The following is an overview of my understanding of the process:

1) Extract the system.img.ext4 file from the stock firmware and convert it using simg2img.

2) Mount the converted system.img.ext4 in Linux and make the appropriate changes to start a script; i,e, create a rc file.

3) Unmount and convert the system.img.ext4 back, which I still need to figure out.

4) Create a Tarball and append the md5sum information, which I figured out on my own.

5) My understanding is that Linux heimdall is outdated and the factory version of ODIN cannot flash any non-stock images because it needs special meta-data signatures.

6) I believe that the Comsey ODIN would be able to flash my modified system.tar file.

Is my understanding correct? Would this method work without tripping Knox?

Please let me know if I am headed down the right path.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sarishikh:
Hi all, I have had my S8+ for several months now, everything was fine until this morning when I woke up to unlock my phone, it unlocked as per normal. I enabled wifi and opened google chrome and checked the weather. The, the phone shutdown and within a few seconds the blue screen appeared with a message (erasing). It took a while for the phone to boot up and go through the initial setup like a brand new phone.

Now, all the data on the phone and my 32GB micro SD card are gone. I have tried half a dozen recovery software on my PC but none can see any files on the micro SD.

I have no idea what happened and why it has wiped the micro SD card. I have lost images and videos of the last few years, I know silly not to have them backed up.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JeffDC:
Wow, that is a great disappointment losing all that personal info. I suspect you are running a recovery software app from a PC or a Mac? If you are not getting any meaningful results from the data restore apps, and you know those apps to be of good/high reputation, then I am wondering of your phone uses a type of 'wipe' function that performs a military/DOD sort of erase?

If that is the case, that stuff is likely gone forever. If that is not the case, hopefully you can find another app to try and restore your stuff.

Now, on the other note, that's an odd behavior for your phone to just reboot and do it's thing, wiping your system. Do you have any type of security going where it might have thought the phone had been stolen, and performed a wipe as protection for the owner. . . (you)?

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sarishikh:
I do have company email on my phone and I have agreed to their security policy which wipes all your data. This could be one of the reason, however could they erase data from SD card?

I had over 60GB of personal files on it and I thought the SD card will not get wiped in any case.

I have been reading around but can't find any solution. Stuffed to the max.

Hi all, I'm new to posting here, but have been snooping about getting all the good bits for my BA for a while. So thanks very much for that!

I've recently upgraded to WM6 and noticed that the alarm clock is almost exactly the same as the one for WM2003SE, but for one small difference. The alarm clock repeat is so far apart that there is next to no point repeating it. I'm a heavy sleeper and need something that constantly goes off to wake me up. I used the alarm clock on my BA for a year or so without it ever failing.

I've read through the other threads; here and here; and I've decided that instead of adding to my BA's memory usage etc, I would prefer it if there was a little fix which would just go in and find where the alarm program is, and change the repeat time to maybe 2 seconds after it finishes playing? Is that possible?

Many thanks!
