There is no requirement to update the bootloader to run a custom ROM above 4.4.2.

as far as your other question, i would try carbonrom. having a different kernel will also increase battery life but there doesnt seem to be alot of options for this variants, the i9300 has boeffla kernel.

Hello!

Just got a Gear Fit 2 Pro. Although it looks like an awesome device, imagine my surprise when I found out I can't use it with my rooted HTC 10...

Before selling it (anybody wants one? Been worn for half an hour or so!), I wanted to make sure I've got it right. I've seen the thread over at https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/mod-samsung-gear-app-android-n-samsung-t3547035 and used the apps - and they work on my phone.

However, the thread states that the app is now compatible on Play and was closed - hence, no more updates... Is this the case? Am I missing something? How can I continue to get updates?

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro] daveparki:
I use my gear fit 2 pro with a rooted samsung s7 edge, not sure if it is because my phone is samsung but i cant see this being the case. I use Magisk for rooting but dont hide the gear app.
[Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro] krakout:
Perhaps they've changed something since then, but I did use Magisk and tried to hide it too, it never worked...

Hi ?

I purchased my Gear Fit 2 Pro 2 days early and I don't have any problem with it on my Rooted Galaxy S9.

Only one problem that I faced that I can't buy some paid watchfaces, but I resolved it by hiding magisk from Galaxy Store, so if someone have problems with Rooted Device, just use magisk hide option and everything will work…

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Greensystemsgo:
Sorry for the mediocre title, I couldn't think of anything better.... I have a Verizon Pixel XL with unlocked bootloader (depixl8).

Yesterday I tried to update my phone from the original elemental kernel, purenexus 7.10, and twrp-3.0.2-0-alpha2. It went bad. Borked everything, softbricked it. So I grabbed 7.1.2 (NHG47K, Apr 2017, Verizon), ran the flash-all.sh (linux user here :silly:) and brought it back to life. Fortunately still has an unlocked bootloader, but no more twrp (as expected)

So my question to you, great xda community, is where do I go? I do not NEED a custom kernel or rom really, just root, so I was looking at the guides (LINK) by Homeboy76, but they all start out with stating where I need to be. I am obviously WAY behind. So I looked at going to a custom rom/kernel right away, same thing. I am so far behind. I THINK I can just jump right ahead to where I want to be, but am afraid of loosing the unlocked bootloader. It seems implausible but some users complain of this happening?

I am familiar with adb and fastboot, and really would just like to know what order to flash what in. I am open to custom roms/kernels if the features are worth it, I am just unfamiliar with these new to me 8.x builders.

--GSG
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Homeboy76:
I don't think upgrading to Android 8.1.0 or a Custom ROM will 'lock' your bootloader. Verizon users have reported not being able to unlock the bootloader if they upgrade their factory image before unlocking their bootloader. If you've unlocked your bootloader, leave it unlocked.

To upgrade: Open [Guide] Pixel XL Android 8.1. 0 (OREO)...by Homeboy76 and do the following:

a. Download the latest 8.1.0 factory image, and do #4 - Install Factory Image and Keep or Wipe data.

b. Want root with or without Custom kernel : Do # 7 or #8.

c. Want Custom ROM:

(1) Tap #11 read notes a, b, and c.

(2) Tap #11 read A and B, Choose the Custom ROM you want to install.

(3) Tap #11 Tap the link read the, entire, OP to learn the features, files you need to install it and how to install it. It is also a good idea to read the first five pages after the most recent update post. Why? If there are problems installing the latest update, they usually will be posted on these pages.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Greensystemsgo:
Duuuude! Or Dudette? Or...?

Appreciate the guide, Exactly what I needed! I found it confusing to say the least at the proposition of the bootloader becoming locked, but wanted to err on the side of caution. I am still feeling the implications of buying a verizon Pixel. Honored to have a direct response for the author of it the guides I had been reviewing the most. Going to start now and will report back shortly. Off the bat, 7.1.2 is a huge increase in features so excited for 8.x.x.

I have called Sprint many times, after they keep telling me it is unlocked domestically and internationally, I finally gave up. The phone simply says to contact sprint to unlock. I have no idea what to do. When I press UCCI Unlock it gives me an internal error(407). I tried flashing unlocked firmware (U1) But it does not work on that either. Tried booting up with T-Mobile sim inside, still same result. What to do?

What is your phone's IMEI status in Sprint's database?

Maybe that Sprint representative didn't tell you all about your phone.

I got mine sim unlocked

My sprint galaxy s8 i took to a cell phone shop to be unlocked. They charged me $50 ( I know it's high) but in using it with total wireless right now. Everytime I put a different carrier sim in, it takes it and changes my splash screen to whatever sim it is. So much better not being locked down to sprint.

Unlocked Sprint phone still won't activate

Got an S8 from my brother after he spent a very long time getting Sprint to unlock the phone. I removed the security and did a factory reset, but it shows a message that it is locked and to contact Sprint. I took it into Metro PCS and they couldn't get it to work - the guy said he hasn't had much luck with Sprint phones.

I entered the IMEI into Sprint's database and it comes back with a "CLEAN" report. Why won't this phone activate? Shouldn't I be able to just put my Metro PCS sim in it and go?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] iBowToAndroid:
If it were actually unlocked, then yes.

Well, no, I take that back. Even if it were unlocked, you still have to contact Metro to have them manually activate it. You can't activate a new phone on Metro simply by putting the SIM in.

But if you're seeing a message that says it's locked, then obviously Sprint didn't unlock it, which is a very common occurrence these days. Thankfully, there are other ways to get it done ;)

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] King Norman:
Hi,

My axon 7 (A2017G) is currently running LOS 14.1-20170203-UNOFFICIAL. I was reading up on updating it and gathered that I need to flash an experimental build and then update to the latest nightly to get the latest official version, but I cant seem to find the latest experimental build for the axon 7. Where can I find this?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
I'm guessing it's on the unofficial LOS thread? I remember doing that back then. The experimental build has an overlay all over the screen.

I don't know if it's actually needed anyways but if you don't find it I guess you can go back to stock and install the latest nightly manually
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] King Norman:
Would going stock and then back to LOS be easier do you think?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Lol if you can't find the experimental build I assure you it would be safer...

Use EDL Tool by djkuz, and obviously use an A2017G package (B09 for example). After that flash TWRP and install Lineage with the univ. bootloader, A2017G modem and Magisk, plus gapps i guess

[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] Ema182:
Hi, I've a X829. I tested many roms (based Upon 6.0,7.1,8.1) but every time I've usual camera focus issue. Is there a Rom that is working for all type of Le Max 2?

I'm really thinking to change smartphone.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo, does it also happen with the focus fix kernels or without?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] Ema182:
It happens with all roms in xda dowloaded in feb/march (lineage, resurrection, aicp etc). In the past I installed Cuoco 92 and one time resurrection and It was working. Than I wanted to move to Oreo. I didn't Remember what I installed first or various Oreo. Starting from this I can't get working again also if I install something that in the past was working. But I'm pretty sure that the issue is just software.

Have we the chance to wipe also internal storage in Le Max 2? I think no because we haven't SD, am I wrong? I wanted to do this test in case one of these roms changed something that I can't restore just with others wipes.

What do you mean with kernel fix?

Thanks in Advance.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] giovanymdq:
Please, the same happens !!!! and I can not focus again with the installation of stock rum !!! I'm tired of trying it without result ....
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ThE_MarD:
Some older ROMs have a focus fix kernel and maybe some Oreo ROMs if you search through the threads to flash on top of the ROM. I'm not sure which ones have it or not though.

Hopefully we can find a good way to implement it into Oreo kernels to fix it automatically... But I'm not too sure but I'll try to look into it.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangeworx:
Hey guys,

I tried to root my gf's S5 with CF-AutoRoot's package. I got this for the specific version which I double-checked

Included in the package was Odin and the image with an "installer".

Everything was fine, device detected in Odin, selected image in AP and let it rip... Except I got an error after it was in the process, under UDC start, can't remember exactly as I had restarted the device with the loading bar at like 30% of the way... it stated something dev_state

After I restarted, I got the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."

I would've thought it was going to be pretty straight forward and decided not to do a backup but I'm so getting killed if I'm going to lose the data!!!

Any insight? thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangeworx:

Edit: None of the many methods worked, so I finally solved the issue by flashing a different rom. Thank you for all your support anyway.

This is just a post to help anybody that might have changed batteries and now have a door stop. I had a non OEM battery installed and it was fine for a while. But the past few months the phone, which is completely stock 7.1.1 has been a complete pile of ****. After multiple factory resets I finally decided to put my old battery back in and BOOM, it's like a brand new phone again.

Moral of the story: only use Motorola EZ30 batteries if you're replacing it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alryder:
I'm sorry, but that's simply not always the case. It's unfortunate that you had issues, but many here on the forums, including myself, have had great success with aftermarket (OEM equivalent) batteries. I wouldn't recommend buying the cheapest you can find of course but the battery I had installed in my phone a couple of weeks ago is working great and AccuBattery shows 97% battery health. The new battery may or may not last for almost three years like the original battery did but I have a feeling that because I purchased it from a reputable source it's going to last longer than a few months.
