[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] junkshot9112:
if i went to a Verizon store tomorrow and got a Pixel 2, and removed the sim and disabled WiFi, would i still be able to unlock the bootloader and root?

there is only a $35 restocking fee, but i'm only vaguely familiar with the unlock procedure for the Pixel 2, and haven't found any recent posts about it. obviously if i learn that it is possible, i will more heavily research the procedure. i'm just trying to avoid a $35 restocking fee if at all possible.

another thing i am wondering about as of writing this is, does updating a Verizon Pixel 2 relock the bootloader and kill root? would buying the phone from Google make it update safe?

thanks for all your help!
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Diesel_Jeremiah:
If Verizon figures out you've unlocked the bootloader, they can and/or will refuse to accept it. There are threads following the Verizon version, which should have the answers your looking for.

Why even bother with Verizon at all? You've answered your own questions.

Purchase from Google, root with no worries of a relocked bootloader ever happening, and you can rest easy.

Also, 35% of $1000, is $350.

No way in hell I would pay 1k for this phone considering it's impossible to play FPS games due to mutitouch problems I'm not happy I paid even 150 for it!
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Mangtas_666:
So what phone do you recommend?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
I don't know if it is still able to be unlocked. Odds are that as long as it is not updated past the January update, then you can unlock the bootloader. Once unlocked though, there is very little chance any update would relock it for two reasons:

1. OTA Updates fail when you're unlocked

2. If it did relock, it would wipe your phone. Verizon wouldn't want that bad PR from wiping people's without consent.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
It's a regular pixel 2, it doesn't cost anywhere near $1k and very few people have the multi touch bug. Even if you did, this phone has a 2 year warranty, so you're covered either way.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Rukbat:
Probably it's already been updated to the March update, so no. And even though the January (and November) firmware is still at Google's site, it's probably locked against downgrading. (Anyone with a non-unlockable bootloader want to try?)
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] junkshot9112:
my friend at the verizon store was willing to check the software versions on the boxes, and found one that was before OPM2.171019.016. i'm not sure what, but it was OPM1.xxxxxx.xxx. some were already OPM3.xxxxxx.xxx.

it isn't true that an unlocked bootloader = a failed OTA update, as this was the issue i had with my Pixel 1. i got it early, unlocked with depixel8, and rooted. i then disabled OTA updates, and yet somehow, one made it through. it did not relock my bootloader, but it did leave me on a software version that was not rootable, even though my bootloader was unlocked. it is my main concern. but also, i want updates, i just want them to happen on my terms and not break my device.

any thoughts?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] b00ster23:
I would suggest searching through the forums for your answers which have been posted numerous times. You've opened a second thread to a discussion that has been addressed in its entirety here. https://xdaforums.com/pixel-2/how-to/unlock-bootloader-verizon-pixel-2-t3730076

Again the question of "How do I update my phone when it is rooted/BL unlocked" has been answered over and over. Probably good to try and keep the forum clean and searchable for everyone. That's the preferred method.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krashd:
Hi

I'm not an XDA regular so if I have posted in the wrong place I apologise. I would just like a strange problem sorted out..

I have an i9100 and I've been trying to put AOKP (aokp_i9100_nougat_unofficial_2018-02-20_1551.zip) on it, but it won't boot up on the .pit file I am using (I9100_1.5GB-System_6GB-Data_32MB-Preload_by-the.gangster.pit).

The stock 512MB .pit is too small, but most 1GB .pit files work, but when I flash the 1.5GB .pit from 'the gangster' the ROM won't load, I just get the boot animation of the unicorn. It just stays on the boot animation for hours, I've even left it overnight but no progress.

Does AOKP have any issues with a 32MB /preload partition? It's the only thing I can think of as being the problem.

Background information...

I use Odin to change .pit files because Heimdall always hangs if I tick the 'repartition box', but I use 'cat /proc/partitions' to check if it worked or not, and TWRP also shows that the partitions are correct each time I repartition. I also have ADB so I can use a shell to make sure it worked.

I use Heimdall (with zadig driver) for everything else, as TWRP and kernels always use .img files. If Heimdall did not hang whenever I try to repartition I would just use Heimdall for everything.

I use an IsoRec kernel, that is obvious or I wouldn't be able to flash AOKP using TWRP. I've tried various IsoRec kernels, they all work with 1GB .pit setups, but not the 1.5GB one.

I've tried a million things over the past week, almost to the point that I am perfectly familiar with partition IDs, the i9100's MMC layout, the known requirements of AOKP, how to use TWRP to resize, reformat and recheck partitions. And I've done them all in many different variations, but I can't get AOKP to boot up using the 1.5GB .pit file from 'the gangster'.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krashd:
I'm at the point of screaming because each time I get AOKP working I think "Let's try installing in exactly the same order, but on the other .pit file setup" and each time it does the same thing. It takes ages..

Install default Samsung driver

Odin in download mode

Repartition

Install WinUSB driver

Heimdall in download mode

Flash IsoRec Kernel

Flash TWRP Recovery

Boot TWRP

Format partitions if needed

Install AOKP

Try to boot AOKP

Failure!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abels2:
tried to use the Lanchon partition tool, it never gave me problems to switch between stock or custom PIT even without using a computer because I have the MicroUSB port worn and only let me charge

just change the name of the file to the desired and flash in TWRP

Just picked up an unlocked S9+ through Trade-In at samsung. Andromeda doesn't work for me. The connection status dialog doesn't open at all, the app does nothing when I try to open it and Substratum is always hanging on the Andromeda Not Connected message. Did this happen because I copied data via Smart Switch? Or is it another issue? If it helps, I have the snapdragon model.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] shadowster:
Hmmm. It's working fine for me. Maybe make sure you have the drivers installed on your computer before running the computer side script.

Enable usb debugging, run the adb devices and see if the device works, make sure to give it permission then run the script.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] CitiGaming:
That's exactly what I did
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] UniX1rm:
If you can uninstall and reinstall install Andromeda. I had a similar issue. If your device is responding the adb devices you should be good. Sometimes I think it is the license check that substratum does.

Hi, for me its working very well.

I used it with the Installation Instructions from the Substratum Theme Thread.

After compiling the overlays i Made a reboot, after this every is running.

I have the TMobile unlocked version. Adromeda says connected and it says it compiles just fine. But shouldn't it after that install APK packages? It doesn't do that part.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] HACK3DANDR0ID:
Working fine for me on the T-Mobile variant....

---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

Once it says connected, reboot your device and reconnect to Andromeda and pick your theme in Substratum...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] pieces of cake:
Not working for me either. T-Mobile variant. Everything appears to work properly, but the themes and mods never actually get applied.

In my case, it probably has something to do with ADB. I was able to get permissions working for Custom Navbar via ADB shell. After that, I tried to grant permissions for the System UI Tuner app but, when attempting to grant those permissions after entering ADB shell, I'm getting an "ADB not found" error message. Same message when running "ADB devices." Says ADB not found.

I've tried revoking ADB debugging, rebooting, disabling and then enabling ADB debugging again, but nothing seems to work. WTF?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] nrage23:
I looked in the Substratum section. Someone said to go into Samsung themes apply a different theme then reapply you old theme. I then went into substratum and all my overlays showed up in manager. I selected them all and enabled them. All has worked fine since then.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] pychobj2001:
A had a Samsung theme installed, put back the original and everything started to work. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] pieces of cake:
Well ****... Switched back and forth between Theme Store themes and Substratum themes are now working. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] UniX1rm:
So, the way it works. Apply your overlays from a specific theme. Build and enable. Then reboot, connect to Andromeda again, then open the theme again, overlays, and you'll see they are compiled, select them, then hit enable, some apply and some need another reboot.

Now, you can enable and disable after that and they will show instantly. Forexample, i would apply two nav bars, then i can see the changes when changing the state without rebooting after the steps above. Pain in the a$$ especially the nougat version was more painful to install every overlay, but ..... it works.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] mindchip:
Not working

I am on Verizon, and have gotten it to connect, but every time i reboot, disonnected.

Make sure you have no Samsung theme applied. Or apply one and then revert back to original. Them reboot. Reconnect and try to apply a substratum theme then.

Thanks for this.. I must have loaded the same theme 5 times last night before I gave up. I would load it.. and everything looked great.. the theme applied, my apps were blacked out then if I rebooted things went away.. just could not figure it out. And then this..... and boom shakalaka! :)

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] ddrllama:
This isn't what you're asking for, but have you considered just putting the "latest and greatest" Google Maps .cab on your SD card and having it auto-install with the User Customization feature included in dcd's ROM?

OEMs are great for certain things, but OEMing a program like Maps can be problematic when a new version is released. For one thing, the files in an OEM cannot be modified or deleted. Depending on how the OEM is built, this may render you unable to update Google Maps on your phone without rebuilding the OEM and kitchen and reflashing the ROM.

Using UC is incredibly convenient. You put the latest Google Maps .cab in a folder on your SD card, and a SDConfig.txt in the root of your SD card containing something like this:

LOCK:Enabled
CAB: \Storage Card\CABs\GoogleMaps.CAB
LOCK:Disabled
RST: Reset

This way you can simply replace the .cab whenever Maps is updated, and the next time you flash a dcd kitchen, you'll always have the latest without having to make an OEM.
