Make sure you’ve backed up all of your IMPORTANT DATA before unlocking.

I am not responsible for bricked devices and dead SD cards. YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

1) Download the Factory RAW ROM here:

ZE520KL: https://yadi.sk/d/A6_gOBr23McmRp

ZE552KL: https://yadi.sk/d/IAjhUzrr3MbZNY

2) Download ASUS Flash Tool here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzBzT9RsAkigcTlCSlZpMTRBV1U/view

3) Flash the firmware via ASUS Flash Tool by entering FASTBOOT MODE (Power Off + Volume Up)

*Note: This firmware can only boot into FASTBOOT Mode. So, don’t panic

4) Download Unofficial Unlock Bootloader tool here:

https://archive.org/download/KitBootloaderZenfone3/Kit Bootloader Zenfone 3.zip

5) Unzip the files and click on:

unlock_ZE520KL.bat (For ZE520KL)

unlock_ZE552KL.bat (For ZE552KL)

6) Congratulations, your device has been unlocked unofficially. (You can see the Bootloader status on FASTBOOT splash screen)

7) After that, download the stock ROM here and flash it via ASUS Flash Tool (FASTBOOT Mode):

Hello guys, iam an Pixel 2 XL owner since 3 weeks. After the first usage of my phone i get a call and i must see that the top speaker isn't making any noise during incoming call and alarm-clock.

So after that i start developing and application which can workaround this problem. Iam an hobby programmer from germany and ich want to show you my application:

My application will work with the top speaker. During an incoming call and alarm-clock my application will enable the top speaker. If you accept the call and activate the "Freisprech-Funktion", i do'nt know how it's called in englisch, the top speaker will work too.

I give my best to include an englisch translation. So iam sorry for this translation but i hope you can understand what i mean.

That would probably be "hands-free" in English. Did you post this in the non-XL section on purpose?

I am looking for an application that can check both microphones separatly, if anyone knows an app that can do this I would be grateful to know.

Just tested and it seems to work for ringtones for standard (non-xl) version of Pixel 2. Thank you, this is something I was looking for
[Google Pixel 2 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PolzkY:
To confirm, app works perfectly fine but there is few things that need improvement: App plays ringtones and alarms as media so if media is muted ringtone or alarm won't sound at all. There would have to be mechanism implemented to check ringer volume and set media volume to the same level otherwise phone ringtone volume setting is completely disregarded
[Google Pixel 2 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sven_scherner:
OK, i try to check the ringer volume and set the media volume to the same Level.

[Google Pixel 2 Themes, Apps, and Mods] res036:
Hey great fix! But I did just notice a bit of a bug, when adding a ringtone to your contacts it adds the phone number all wrong IDK if it's adding the phone number for your region

EXAMPLE : 1234/56-78-90 (this is how the app adds them)

123-456-7890 (this is the way I need the phone numbers to be added)

IDK if there's a fix or an update.

Also not to nitpick but it'd be great if there was an option for the NOTIFICATIONS tones as well.

Hi XDA, Just got the MI MIX 2 and it came with the Chinese ROM, I was reading some guides how to flash the global ROM, with a locked bootloader, but they all require "Mi PC Suite", a Windows application, do you know if using ADB, will I be able to sideload the Global ROM? Or the only option to flash the Global ROM with a locked bootloader, is really by using the application Mi PC Suite? If that is the case, I'll have to find a way to get to a Windows PC :p

Thank you XDA
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Nagisa_:
Before you unlock bootloader, flash over fastboot is impossible. And you can't flash global roms directly from a China rom. You have to unlock it and your warranty will not be revoked.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] noidea24:
Dont look at the rom selection if youre debating getting this phone. Development is thin, but the development that is here is great. We have a few kernels, rooting methods, mod scripts and even xposed, but not many roms.

My battery is going on strong, and performance will not and should not be an issue for a while. but this will vary from device to device depending on how it was used.

No-one in this section will have that device as this forum is for the g935/f etc.

No-one can port without a device to work on (For testing etc). XDA doesnt allow blind building due to the possibility of potentially bricking peoples phones. If i tried to port a rom to your model without owning it, you flashed it and bricked your device - would you be ok with that?

If you have the device, the best thing is to learn whats required and do it yourself...

Dirty Unicorns Oreo ROM (v12) is entering RC2 status. It would be awesome if someone would step forward to be a Marlin maintainer for DU. I think the Nougat maintainer moved on to another device.

I'd try it myself if I had any free time and the knowledge to build and tune it.

Just throwing it out there.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] liam_davenport:
DU don't want their rom being discussed on XDA I think maybe better to talk about it on their G+ Page. They have a maintainer for Pixel XL, Oreo Branches are their so work is been done on this device. The first wave of RC's was the devices that were ready at the time more will come :good:
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] TBacker:
Sorry. I wasn't aware of the secrecy / isolation from XDA.

I was probably also looking in the wrong area of github as I didn't see any new Marlin commits.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] uodii:
I thought discussion was fine, but no spreading their work around the forum. Is that wrong?

And do they really have an P-XL maintainer? Last I checked Marlin and Sailfish were not supported devices anymore.

I was gonna do a private sailfish build, but noticed the marlin tree looked very outdated and I'm no good with GitHub. At this time I can just repo sync and build. So it's above my pay grade at the moment.

Sounds like you weakened your battery. Question, do you constantly have your phone plugged into the charger?

Overcharging can weaken a rechargeable battery.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OptimuSlime:
I'm curious if the SU binary can be loaded from or linked from another sdcard location and still function as intended.

Specifically, I have a N950U that has a magic EFS folder that doesn't get deleted on wipes. Another odd thing about this Note 8 US is ive managed to turn OEM UNLOCK toggle to on. The toggle even survives a wipe.

So I'd like to put SU or a link or something somewhere in the efs folder, so that when I factory reset, and efs folder stay intact, on boot SU copies or links itself into place.

I am obviously not super knowledgeable about this so any good ideas would be appreciated, especially in regards to unlocking my bootloader lol.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmm273:
Hi so im new to HTC modding, i bought second handed M7, its complete stock.

I want elementalx kernel (i suppose its best ? ) to have htc logo functional (and also little underclock etc for battery saving).

Is there any step by step guide for do that, with no screw anything ?

(mine is M7_UL)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
There isn't much more to say about the install process than what's already said in ElementalX thread:

Your bootloader can be unlocked using instructions at www.htcdev.com/bootloader

Twrp recovery is flashed using fastboot in bootloader mode:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

and finally save the correct elementalX version on your phone storage and install with twrp.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmm273:
ok but in future how i recover stock recovery and kernel ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samhhmobil:
[MENTION=3507400]mmm273[/MENTION]

It's very easy. Just go into fastboot mode, switch into RUU mode via "htc_fastboot.exe", install the stock RUU zipfile even via "htc_fastboot.exe" and that's it. In the HTC stock RUU-zips everything is included, even stock recovery, kernel, and so on...

I recommend for ALL fastboot-operations with HTC devices to use the special "htc_fastboot.exe", it works smooth for me.

htc_fastboot.exe oem rebootRUU

Wait for the silver HTC progress bar, then:

htc_fastboot.exe flash zip PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.2_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_421790_signed.zip

If this step failed after installing "pre-update" hboot, that's normal. Start the flash procedure IMMEDIATELY a second time (or -- as in my case -- it is automagically done by the flash proceeding).

This flash tooks approx. 10 minutes. If you got your windows command prompt back, the final step is (even if the silver progress bar is NOT at the end, that's normal too):

htc_fastboot.exe reboot

and the system will start like a brand new original M7.

I did this many times with one of my different M7's (one for daily use, several others for testing and experiments), and all the time it worked without any trouble.

(Yet I'm using Slim7-1.17 7.1.2 Nougat with GPE-firmware on all devices, it runs much much better as any stock rom from european HTC Sense).

Happy flashing,

samhhmobil
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
If your phone is running the latest version, you won't need the stock recovery anymore so there is no need to backup the stock recovery.

You can backup your stock kernel using twrp "backup" menu. Make a backup of the "boot" partition, this is the kernel. If you need to restore your stock kernel, just restore that backup using twrp "restore" menu. Also, stock recovery and kernel can be extracted from a firmware.zip or ruu.zip matching your phone version if you really need them (someone probably already extracted them and uploaded somewhere, if you can give me the output of "fastboot getvar version-main" I can tell you if your stock recovery and kernel are already uploaded).

You can still flash a ruu to restore your phone back to stock like described above, but flashing a ruu only to restore the stock kernel is a really drastic solution (will reset the whole phone back to stock, rom/recovery/kernel/everything and you'll loose your data).

---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

If using htc_fastboot.exe you must NOT do the flash command a second time. htc_fastboot.exe will take care of the hboot pre-update itself: will flash the hboot, output the "90 pre-update error", make the phone reboot itself back to ruu mode and flash the remaining partitions without any action from the user. Just so you know it's not magic but how it's intended to work when using htc_fastboot ;)

The second flash was only needed if using the regular fastboot.exe from the sdk-tools for 6.xx.xxx.x RUU and older (7.xx.xxx.x ruu must be flashed with htc_fastboot.exe because of the ruu file size)
