Error

I am familiar with the flash tool and have used a lot back in 2016

also followed below still getting the error.

Now go into C:\Users\xxxxxxx\.flashTool\devices\G31XX and rename it from from 40.0.fsc to 48.1.fsc (thanks [MENTION=3560280]boyrock[/MENTION] - I would NOT have thought of that). ATTENTION: While the FTF is 'prepared' aka unpacked, this file might be renamed back to 40.0.fsc. If it does that, just name it back while the preparation is still running in Flashtool.

i follow the intsructrion still having issue
[Sony Xperia XA1 Guides, News, & Discussion] dancress:
Well you have a G3116. This is for the G3112 model. I'm not sure what the difference is between those two but it seems to throw off Flashtool.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Guides, News, & Discussion] boyrock:
My device is G3116, and i using G3112 ROM, without issues.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Guides, News, & Discussion] karandpr:
Just got an update anyway.

Oreo for G3116 is now available on OTA and XperiFirm.

While cross-flashing is relatively safe ,there is a slight chance that some devices may have different partition setups.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ckfalls:
So I am reluctantly moving on from my Nexus 6 which I have loved and been rom-crazy with. I'm really bummed out how pricey phones have gotten, so looking for good value wherever I can. I'm looking to do the 2 XL from best buy, pretty good deal right now. My issue, and it's a big one, is that the VZW variant cannot have the bootloader unlocked (right??, man please tell me I'm wrong!), thus not root, ROM, etc. I've always loved Android for how customizable it is, but I'm worried if I got with this version I'll basically feel like I'm on a Google version of the IPhone. Is this the right way to look at it, or am I not giving a stock locked phone enough credit?

For anyone with this phone on VZW, I'd love to hear your thoughts on customizations, options that you undertake without root, if you miss root/Rom or if performance and stock are enough. Specifically, I like to be able to change color of UI/apps a la substratum, wireless tether, nav bar mods to name a few. Any locked options out there, any others I'd get without root?

Would love some experienced opinions.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MacTheRipperr:
You cannot unlock your bootloader. You are pretty limited with customizations. Like only Substratum with Andromeda. No ROMs, no kernels. I have read that you can sideload the P OTA. But that it's very risky and you pretty much can't go back. Go through the Google store and finance through there if you can't afford to pay for it entirely.

But I was saying in another thread that I am completely fine with this phone stock unrooted. I've when relocked my bootloader. I've had nothing but Samsung devices since their introduction. I have had better battery life and SOT than I have ever had on any phone by a long shot. I went back to my S8+ and couldn't stomach how laggy the Samsung experience is. In my opinion, you really can't go wrong with this phone. But if you're wanting to rom and customize, you'll be SOL with the Verizon version.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ckfalls:
Hey thx for the reply. You know back in the early days of Android, smoother experience was exactly why I got into unlocking; OC the processor, get rid of bloatware, etc. Obv that's not as much an issue, I wonder how much I'd miss the other customization. Good to hear there's at least some substratum.

I'm certainly worried about being locked into a phone with so few options relative to what I'm used to. But if it's a solid phone with no need for fixes that root/ROM provides that the manufacturer isn't providing, then I guess I'd be ok...right?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Having run the P2XL fully stock for a month after I received it, I will say that you won't miss unlocking, rooting, and modding it that much. Sure, it's great to me able to do all that stuff of course, however, it certainly won't hinder the functionality and experience of the P2XL. I was completely satisfied just being able to theme it with substratum+Andromeda, and just use it as it was intended. After all, it's just a phone ???
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MacTheRipperr:
I would also like to mention that the dual partitions on these phones make doing backups, restoring, installing ROMs, kernels and all that comes with that kind of a drag. It most certainly isn't like the s1 through the s5 where the bootloader was unlocked and flashing and modding was much simpler. But on the other side. Android has come a long way. I rooted my first week and flaked everything I could. But I always found myself returning to stock because even the custom ROMs like DU or nitrogen OS left me missing something that they just weren't achieving from the stock pixel experience. I joined here in like 2012 and for once in my time using an Android phone, I'm actually content with the device as is. They're are others that use BusyBox, XPosed and or Magisk modules. I guess I'm just able to achieve what I'm looking for without root or unlocked bootloader just fine with what third party apps I use. But if you're a bit of a more easy going user, and have only flashed to flash and to get AOSP like experience with overclocking to achieve those conveted benchmark scores. That just isn't needed with this device right now. Not for me at least. Having the freedom to unlock is nice, especially if you plan to keep this device and the support stops. But in my opinion, you would be well suited even by the Verizon model. I just got the Google unlocked just in case. Anyway, I hope this helps. Good luck on your next purchase, if your decide to join the pixel family, welcome aboard. I know I'll never be going back.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ckfalls:
Great, thanks for that. Yeah it seems the more and more I dig the less and less necessary a phone like this is for doing the unlocking rooting and rom that was needed for say, the HTC Eris my first unlocked device haha.

Okay, think I'm going to take the plunge. Looking forward to updating several months later on my experience. Best.

I am using unlocked google store pixel on verizon why cant you just buy from google store with $200 off deal?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ibsk8:
I'm in the same boat, I'm looking for a Pixel 2 XL. I keep looking for an exploit to pop up or a good deal on the Google variant. My reasons for wanting the unlocked bootloader are a little different. I'm looking for an unlocked bootloader so I can get rid of gapps and play services and run AOSP or copperhead.

The 200$ Google credit may have me pull the trigger before end of the month.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] michaelbsheldon:
Not many for sale right now, but Swappa is a great place for Pixel 2 XL's, either VZN or preferably Unlocked.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] robnhl:
I bought the Verizon P2XL from BB with the $400 off deal a few weeks ago. No regrets. I've found nohing that I'm missing from not having root. I do love tweaking and flashing ROMs but the experience on the Pixel is so good I'm not pining for it.

As far as tweaks, the only thing I'm really doing is running an immersion mode app to hide the navigation bar and Edge Gestures to enable swipe navigation. It works great.

One of the great things about having the Pixel (my last phone was they Moto Z2 Play) is the variety of cool cases available. I'm rotating between a cloth backed case from Incipio and a real wood case from Kerf Case. Both are fantastic.

Hope you enjoy your device!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] kdkinc:
With Verizon, you don't have to deal with that messy issue of ownership.

With Verizon, you have the privilege of paying for the device of your choice but never truly owning the device.

'Oh! Do you want to unlock this device? Sorry, we don't allow you to control your device'.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] b00ster23:
So I look at things a little differently. I think you may want to look at use case of your phone and your specific needs. Yes the performance of the phones have increased dramatically, so the need to strip bloatware to optimize storage and speed isn't really there. However, for me, I have 2 must have features, Hotspot tether and Viper4A... Those are deal-breakers for me, at least. I'm sure you'll get a lot of various opinions here. Typically what I've done in the past years is keep my nose to the grind here in XDA, and then wait for an bootloader unlock method on a VZW phone. I've had to wait a bit at times, but I've balanced my needs for a new phone (if my old one is under performing), and the ability to get into a 'newer' one with full customization's. If you're willing to wait sometimes you can save considerable $$$, otherwise you lose functionality or pay more for unlocked variants. Your call completely... for example I'm on the VZW Pixel2 as there is a small window to unlock the bootloader. This doesn't exist for the 2-XL though...sorry. Good Luck!!! :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
$200 off, and a 18w charger? Yeah, I'd buy the 2 XL again for that price!

Coming from the 6P I ran the 2 XL for about a month or so fully stock and was ALMOST happy to wait for cust roms.

I love this phone! It's light, it's fast. Dual front speakers. Great device, even locked.

Then I realized that I really like the flashing and modding process and ability to mess with my devices, and would miss that with a locked bootloader. I'm a simple guy, messing with phones makes me a happy, simple guy.

Could I live with a locked 2 XL? Yes. Would I want to? No.

If you can't or don't want to pay outright for the unlocked version, Google offers pretty much the same payment plan you'd get with VZW (my carrier also) so you'd pay $40/mo for 2 yrs 0% interest and you still get all the VZW services and goodies since this is a VZW offered device (unlike my 6P)..

Bottom line; could you live with the Nexus 6 another year? (heck I could probably live with my Note 3 running Alliance for another year) Probably.

But for $40 mo, and the ability to mess with, tweak, flash, root, and enjoy modding your device; do you WANT to stay on it another year? :D

Decisions, decisions...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Gilley:
I've had the phone since launch and I can honestly say I havent even looked at the ROM's being released because it is just that good. Like others have said, the battery life is just amazing on it and its just so buttery smooth still. I wouldnt hesitate to buy the VZW version knowing I cant unlock it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] oneandroidnut:
I have been using a google one on verizon but havent unlocked or looked at roms either. It runs so smooth and I never think about battery. Im up at 7 am and go to bed at 10/11/midnight and never had it down under 15% unless its hours of streaming and it still lasts until I go to bed
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ckfalls:
Yeah, I mean $650 definitely gets me closer, still don't love it. Can get $450 @ BBY vzw variant. Not sure if the $200 is worth the unlock, might be. Have some decisions to make.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
If you don't plan on, or worried about rooting or modding, then save your dough and just get the Big Red version. The P2XL is still pretty darn good running full stock :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mlin:
The Pixel 2 XL is such a great experience out of the box that I haven't had any desire to root, especially since substratum is now available for rootless phones via andromeda. FWIW, having an unlocked Pixel doesn't seem to provide many more options than a locked Pixel based on the current state of development for this phone.

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

Maybe it's plan specific, but I can tether just fine with my VZW Pixel 2 XL.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ckfalls:
Thanks guys. Yeah I had no idea hotspot was included with my plan, used to not be that way but apparently it is, again another reason I don't need to root. Yeah I've heard Viper is the bomb, never looked into it but honestly I so rarely use the phone speakers, always on Bluetooth of some kind which always seems serviceable for me.

Got the vzw phone in, saved $200+, we'll see how it goes.

I'll say, this blue shift thing is no joke...jarringly noticeable. I'll check the IMEI, see if I can get a later build which I've heard had a better chance of less blue shift. Haven't taken it through it's paces yet so not sure if any of the other screen issues are present yet.

How do you install it using Odin? Where can you download the update? Don't you have to be rooted to update with Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Mikeypoet:
Fixed for me

I just got an unlocked AT&T S8+ and put it on my verizon account and had the same issue. I tried everything I could think of: clear partition cache, factory reset and same problem. I tried Verizon Software Update Assistant and it claimed success, but the phone was unchanged. I also saw a similar issue on another website with an older phone (S5, I think) and they were successful with an update only after taking out their SD card, so, getting desperate, I tried that. No change.

Finally, I downloaded and ran Samsung Smart Switch on my desktop and it worked! I can't swear that none of the other things I did didn't also have an effect, but definitely give the Smart Switch a try.

Hi,

I've searched a lot around google for the Gcam mod that works on Huawei devices. Although I did find the app, only the standard front camera works. Neither the Landscape or either of the portrait mode options work.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] AladarZC:
Hello I have a G6 H871 ATT. I have it on MetroPCS and I am having issues with Mobile Connection. At random times during the day (no real cause, or anything to trigger it) I will lose the "MetroPCS" logo on the top left, AND the 4G LTE symbol. No calls can be made in or out, or texts. And obviously no data.

If anyone calls me, it rings, and goes to VM but it doesnt pop up on my phone. Not sure what could trigger this at all. It seems random? I can go hours without it happening, and then another day it will be every 30 min.

I got a new sim card from Metro, double triple checked APN settings. Has anyone else had this issue, either with a G6 or other phone? Thanks
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] AladarZC:
Another thing I may add is that when I do have LTE and the Metro Symbol, at times when I try to place a call, it will just do nothing. No dialing, just looks like its TRYING to call, but wont go through. The 4G LTE Symbol wont change to the fat "4G" only symbol. When calls do work, that is what happens. LTE goes away and its just 4G.
