[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lion-of-Panjshir:
Hello guys,

So I was trying to root my phone. Tried a couple of times but it didn't work. It was never succesfully downloaded with Kingoroot. So I did a factory a reset and tried again with rooting. Didn't work so I wanted to do another factory reset and reboot the system. I accidently pressed reboot to bootloader. Now its stuck. Even when I do a hard factory reset its still stuck. Is there anyone that can help? I feel horrible at the moment

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] rufysanjigen:
I just tried to flash the latest version of Redwolf TWRP (26) via fastboot and also via custom recovery and it doesn't work. The console shows no errors but it goes to fastboot when I try to open the recovery (I made sure I'm using the right button combination), like something went wrong in the installing procedure and automatically decides to go there. Besides, as soon the ROM boots up, the system flashes the stock recovery in the background, as you would expect.

Hey I'm having the same problem. I'm also unable to root. I'm thinking our only option may be to downgrade and then root. However, I'm hesitant to try downgrading as I can't find any information on doing so from ZVI. Maybe this is a good place to start?

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] weak_software:
My Huawei Mate 10 Pro has been in use since ~ 2 weeks and I copied data from my Android 6 phone to this Android 8 phone with the Huawei Phone Clone app. Now I have some bugs but the most annoying one is: My device is running out of memory after 1 - 2 days. The Android OS is taking up to 4.5 GB of 6 GB RAM and then I have serious issues like phone gets slower, apps crashing on startup, videos not playing anymore, etc. Any idea how I can find out what exactly is wrong?

I just came to know that unlocking my xiaomi device will erase its data !!!!

Is this true??????:confused::confused:

[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] shohabmsk:
Unlocking bootloader always erases Data Partition. First check that yours one is unlocked or not, not most devices are come locked. Unlocking will take time as Xiaomi gives you permission to unlock by their own software.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] simonmcnair:
Make a backup, get all your data off then root it. I'm not entirely sure if you can unlock without erasing, but you should never be in a position where you can't afford to reinstall your applications.

This is why it is always best to get twrp on your phone asap so you can back up it.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] metelhammer:
No, unlocking bootloader doesn't wipes data but you must backup everything just in case anything goes wrong.

it is always recommended to backup everything when flashing ROM, kernel, mod, zip, flashing rom via fastboot method and recovery. in short you should backup everything in all this cases.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] KCstark:
Actually I know most part and have already done getting permission but this was just a quick question as that's my sister's device and she won't accept its data being erased still thanks for your quick answer...

And by the way that device's bootloader is locked I have checked it.

[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] metelhammer:
Yes i have flashed recovery and roms i always do backup important thing and i take screenshot of installed apps before making any changes and save them to pc or to cloud storage.

there was issue i had was when i flashed TWRP 3.2.1.0 via adb i do not why but it asked me for password i didn't know to password so i had to wipe everything including internal storage and data.

latest twrp is must which is TWRP 3.2.1.0 in order to flash Oreo based ROM.

i was using TWRP 3.0.2-0 before and i had no issue with this recovery i has flashed several nougat roms on this recovery even have upgraded and downgraded from miui9 to miui 8 everything worked perfectly.

i don't know why but i wasn't able to flash any marshmallow based or nougat based roms on TWRP 3.2.1.0 recovery.

yes i did lose data when upgrading from TWRP 3.0.2-0 to TWRP 3.2.1.0 but i had done backup so no issues.

i would highly recommend you to do backup if you are making any changes in your device.

[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] ecsvik:
you need to install stock rom after unlocking

Unlocking Xiaomi Redmi4x santoni bootloader doesn't delete the data partition, but after unlocking the bootloader your phone won't boot, you need to install the same stock rom it was on phone previously.

Download MIUI Stock ROMs (if you didn't make OTA update from MIUI, check Older versions and download the correct ROM)

You can copy the ROM image to phone before unlocking or if you have already unlocked and stuck in boot, you can copy the ROM to an USB flash drive.

You need ADB installed on your PC.

Download the TWRP for Xiaomi Redmi 4X image.

If you want to restore the existing state of your phone, you need to make a backup of the data partition.

Press Volume Down + Power until phone gets in FASTBOOT.

Connect phone to PC with USB cable.

From PC command prompt type the command: fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.1-0-santoni.img

TWRP will start on your phone, you can backup all of the partitions, but you need only the data partition to restore.

Now Install the stock rom (you can select USB OTG if ROM is on USB drive), then RESTORE the backed up DATA partition only.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] jmanley69:
I really hate that boot screen that makes you think your phone is going to blow up because the bootloader is unlocked... I realize that having it unlocked is perfectly fine, and with Magisk, all the Google security stuff still works just fine.. I also know that an unlocked booloader makes it much easier to flash updates (flash-all but remove the -w) ... So please don't try to explain why I should leave my bootloader unlocked.

WIth my HTC phones, unlocking the bootloader would erase the phone (obviously, and just like the Pixel 2). Locking the bootloader wouldn't erase the phone on the HTC, but with the Pixel 2, the instructions say that it WILL ERASE THE PHONE.

With the HTC, the wipe happened in recovery, so if I had TWRP installed, the phone wouldn't erase... I could easily switch between locked and unlocked, and as long as I had TWRP installed, the phone would "think" it was going to erase, but I stopped it.

So my question is...

Does the Pixel 2 wipe the phone on lock/unlock through recovery? If so, can I lock the phone with TWRP installed in recovery and prevent that lock?

I know I can make a backup and try it and see, but since the Feb update, getting into a decrypted recovery has become a pain (remove pin/password, reboot, reboot to recovery, do what you want, reboot to system, add the pin/password, add fingerprint, open EVERY SINGLE APP THAT USES FINGERPRINT AND SET LOGIN AND REGISTER THE FINGERPRINT - it frustrates me, in case you can't tell).
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] enzyne:
You cannot flash TWRP unless you are unlocked so at this time there is no way to unlock the bootloader without a full wipe.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] jmanley69:
I think you misunderstood the question. I have unlocked the bootloader (let it wipe) and installed TWRP. I want to know if the re-lock will wipe through recovery (and therefore be stopped by TWRP) or if it does the wipe using some other method (and therefore wiping regardless).
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Lekensteyn:
1. You won't be able to maintain your userdata while switching between locked and unlocked states.

2. You will likely not be able to boot your device either after locking your phone.

For 1)

The Pixel 2 enables FBE (filesystem-based encryption) by default for your userdata partition. The encryption keys are derived from a hardware secret (accessible only from TrustZone), the RSA public key that was used to sign the boot image and a flag (whether it is locked or unlocked). The latter parameters are provided by the bootloader (lk) to the Keymaster trustlet (running in TrustZone).

If any of these parameters change, then the encryption keys will change as well. As a result, your files will remain inaccessible even if you were hypothetically able to flip the lock state.

For 2)

Unlocking the bootloader (fastboot flashing unlock) will disable verification of the boot image. TWRP is installed by modifying the boot image (in both the "a" and "b" slots) which invalidates the Verified Boot signature that covers this boot image (stored in the vbmeta partition). When the device is locked again, the bootloader will fail to pass the signature check and stay in the "red" boot state. At that point I guess you have a brick (I have not tried this myself for obvious reasons).

Source: reading the lk source code and various Android documentation such as https://source.android.com/security/encryption/file-based
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] SGH-i200:
The signature of the Custom ROM (Official LineageOS) can be integrated into the bootloader before re-locking the bootloader.

But this is the problem: "Lineage Recovery is also built in userdebug mode, that's a problem. When Lineage recovery is built this way, it allows any package, signed or unsigned, to be installed on your phone. This effectively negates the benefits of locking the bootloader. [...] In fact most custom ROMs simply use TWRP or another third party recovery which has the same issues as they are designed to never even look at the signatures of the packages they are flashing to your device."

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] skytbest:
I just bought the Pixel 2, I got the google edition, not Verizon. However, I am on Verizon's network and before booting up the phone for the first time I put my Verizon SIM in it. Did it just recognize that I'm on Verizon and install the apps? I also have the My Verizon app. I also noticed the device shows up as "Verizon Wireless Pixel 2" when in my list of devices when I'm installing apps from the desktop version of the Play Store.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
The label in the google play store always acknowledges your carrier. Mine says T-Mobile Google Pixel 2. And yes, the SIM causes certain Verizon apps to be downloaded. You have nothing to be concerned about. Just check the boot loader unlock option under developer options and if it's available, then you're using the non-locked version from Google.
