Yeah, I get that, but I don't root anymore. I don't fully see the need to - and it feels like it's more hassle these days.

Maybe when I get some spare time I will consider rooting again. I'll just lock the bootloader via fastboot and adb tonight.

I put TWRP on it but I'd like to be able to go back to the stock recovery without flashing the whole stock rom.

edit: stock lollipop recovery for 8.0
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnisErrais:
Find your rom online(just google "sm-**** stock rom"), Open the rom with 7-zip. There is going to be a file called recovery.img. You can flash that with TWRP

I recommend samsungbay.com. It has faster download speeds

Hello

I have a Google pixel 128 GB device but recently it got bricked after an ota update. Unfortunately my phone is not rooted or unlocked. So I could not do anything under fastboot, also adb is crashed.

So the phone is bricked. But it can be rectified using QPST is edl mode I suppose. But as of now there is no such development for qpst for Google pixel.

But there are many users they face the same issue recently.

Is there any chance of development for it?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] andro888:
you said bootloader ! you mean the phone can boot into bootloader mode ! after that you said edl mode ? i dont understand. please explain. i may help !
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] senthil19:
*The Phone Goes into Fastboot with no problems.

*In Fastboot Mode if i try to go to Recovery, The Phone Reboots and does not go to the Recovery But it Keeps on Rebooting.

So the Recovery Partition of the Phone might be Corrupted.

So im looking for ways to Flash the Recovery partition with QPST or any other methods.

Fastboot Doesn't Help Because the Bootloader is locked.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Xdevillived666:
Download factory image, open up the .sh script as text, copy the fastboot commands about wiping and clearing userdata, cache , etc into a terminal using fastboot
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] PoXFreak:
I do believe I've tried this to no avail on a Verizon g-2pw4100-022-b (the "b" probably stands for "brickable").

I'm stuck in the same situation:

Power+vol down - bootloader

Bootloader to recovery - boot loop

Bootloader to barcodes - barcodes show

Edit: power on only leads to constant screen flashing unless you hold volume down for bootloader, at which point you can vol up once and power down.

Can't flash a recovery, can't flash an OTA since that requires adb sideload, which is part of recovery, and can't flash a factory image with the bootloader locked, which is only unlocked under development tools.

One thing to note is that in the bootloader screen, both "b/l" and the one below it (radio?) both say "n/a", which leads me to believe the December update from Verizon could be the cause.

Suggestions as to how to proceed are greatly appreciated.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Xdevillived666:
I have a Reddit thread how to activate qpst .

You can also "adb reboot edl" if your PC can recognize your phone at least.

If not, power button and volume up(or down, I don't remember) for at least forty seconds sometimes brings it up

But then you'd need firmware to flash with qpst and I'm not sure how to go about doing that

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pfdeadpool:
I've had a Note 2 then 4 since @ 2012-2013. I just bought a used Note 8 and have had it for @ 3 days. I really don't like it very much. I remember feeling like going from the the 2 -> 4 was unnecessary, but don't think I disliked the 4 when I first used it. I'm wondering if I just need to acclimate to it & tweak it to my preferences.

The camera seems awesome, I like the water resistance, I love having more RAM, fingerprint is great, otherwise:

-it feels more difficult to use

-it feels less intuitive opening multi window, using the settings menu, it feels like everything requires an extra 2-3 steps

-it doesn't feel noticeably faster to me in everyday use. Apps seem to take @ the same time to transition open, screen swiping feels about the same. Maybe it's noticeable under heavy use.

-it still takes 1:45 to charge

-the width feels much better in my hand, but I don't like the screen ratio. When using it as GPS in the car, it feels, at best, equal to the Note 4 (I think the 4's width is an advantage). It's really irritating that the top/bottom edges of videos get cut off when fullscreen. The screen color is nice.

-menu/back buttons are a wash. sometimes annoying, sometimes nice.

-i hate the s-pen pop out so far

I use my Note 4 mainly for:

-music + video playback over bluetooth earphones & connected to the car's head unit

-web browsing and/or youtube split screen

-S-Pen gets used almost daily (Note 7 stylus tips are awesome in the 4's pen!)

-GPS, I don't have many GPS problems or complaints about the receiver

-camera

I use the exclusive Note 4 features-

-swapping batteries (OEM + 2 Ankers/wall charger)

-IR transmitter @ 2-3x/week

I like that the Note 8 has-

-Awesome camera

-fingerprint sensor that you don't have to swipe

-more RAM. I haven't put it through the wringer with tons of open apps etc. Honestly I could just focus on shutting stuff down & clearing the phone more often, it's just a convenience.

-I really like pulling out the S-Pen and instantly writing on the lock screen. But pulling out the S-Pen is such a PITA compared to the 4, I think I would hate it for daily use.

-feels better in hand, I don't like the height so far.

-the curved front/back is a positive and negative

-the speaker sounds.. different. louder- i'm not sure if it's 'better'

I'm planning on reselling the 8 after 1-2 weeks. Any tips or suggestions before I do? I think I'll keep using the 4 for another few years. I've seen good reviews of the Pixel XL 2's speediness; but I have a 256gb microSD in my Note 4. I wish I could shave a couple mm's off the 4's bezels & give it some more powerful hardware. Thanks for any advice

If you don't like the Note 8 & it's not for you, go ahead & sell it as planned. Everyone is different, no one here should convince you otherwise, they shouldn't have too, no point in asking our opinions, it's your preference. I went from Note 2 to Note 5. I'm not the type to upgrade every single year, not worth it IMO. Note 8 was a nice upgrade from the Note 5. I'm loving the Note 8, my favorite phone to date, but I'm also rooted with custom recovery so I can configure as I please, I can't live with out those features.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Don't worry, you'll get used to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] thedicemaster:
what I miss the most from the note 4 is the leathery back and the paint on the bezel that wasn't as likely to scratch or chip.

what I definitely do not miss is the 1 year life expectancy of the motherboard.

mine died from motherboard failure after about a year, it got repaired under warranty, and a year after I got it back it died from the exact same motherboard failure.

the note 8 feels more fragile on the outside, but I definitely wouldn't ever want to go back to the note 4.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kradcliffe:
I got the 8 and used it for a month or so. I them went back to the 4 for a couple of days thinking there wouldn't be much difference but in reality the 8 is so much better.

Although I wasn't a fan of the 18:9 display initially I do prefer it now and the 4 was also noticeably slower. Even with a new Anker battery the 8 out lasts the 4 by some margin.

I still have my Note 4 as a backup but definitely no going back for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] iceepyon:
A side from not having the user removable battery. I actually like the Note 8 more than I expected. It is fast, the design and features are very good. Just wished that Samsung Notes and S Note had the OCR function from the Note 8.

I had the Note, Note3, LG G4 (worst decision I've ever made) and now the Note8. When I got the Note3 I thought it was the best phone ever created, with so many good features that I liked. Now, having the Note8, I feel like this is the greatest phone ever made. There's nothing about the Note8 that I don't like.

This is my 1st Note. I remember one of my colleagues had a note some years ago and I thought it was a monstrosity at the time. But he loved the thing and he would pull that S pen out and looked like he was having a ball. Now that I have one I understand that gleam in his eye. This device is just a great big beast of functionaliy and fun and hands down one of the best devices I've owned. Almost a year after purchase and it's running as smoothly as the day it was unboxed. I'm still on Nougat and Oreo has been sitting in the cue for weeks now. My phone runs great as it is now and I don't see anything that O has to offer that compels me to risk all of the problems others have had after upgrading. Anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] winol:
I Have a note 3, a note 4, a note 7 and a note 8, the note 8 is obviously the best in every aspect, only thing I sometimes miss a little is the IR blaster, and of course the removable batt, but the water resistant feature gives you peace of mind, so, it is a ttade off, my note 4 has a a very annoying echo in calls, that would be my only complaint got tired trying to eliminate it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Max_Terrible:
I wanted the V10, but it wasn't available in South Africa. The reason I went for the G4 and not the Note5, at the time, is because I wanted a slightly cheaper phone and the Note5 didn't have the SD Card storage feature, which was a deal-breaker for me.

I see a lot of people saying the Note4 is or was their favourite. I have a friend that still has a Note4 and an S8 and she says she still loves the Note4 very much. More than the S8. She basically just uses the S8 for Whatsapp and the Note4 for everything else.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Yep, Note 4 was lovely. Skipped the Note 5 for the same reason you did. Not being finiky, but I'd like to see some sort of future Note model without the curved edges. I don't think the curved edges have any purpose currently.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ultramag69:
That's great you like it as it is but the big argument for upgrading is the security patches...

You might find a few little extra's included that need searching for too as they aren't paraded around or listed in the changelog...

Not saying you have to but I have never had any problem with upgrades - using a non-rooted Exynos 950F.

Sometimes the pay-off is worth the risk and sometimes not, I'll leave it in your hands to decide what to do with your toy...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zadox:
The curved and TV-remote type of body is definitely lame and unnecessary for a gadget that is supposed to have notes taking as its strong point. Why not leave those for the Galaxy S family ? The inability to change/remove battery is a combination of planned obsolescence and surveillance dystopia. The absence of AOSP/Lineage/Resurrection ROMs is the price we have to pay for Exynos. Battery and standby time are mediocre but at least it charges fast and the camera is good enough. The stylus is as crap/cheap as ever.

The problem is that, with Note 4, you want to go with performance/Exynos; then you basically have an unsupported/abandoned mobile, even though LineageOS has been resurrected lately in XDA by [MENTION=5971873]dl12345[/MENTION] (original work by [MENTION=242033]bonuzzz[/MENTION]). And the damn thing typically runs too hot and often throttles. RAM is low too.

Note 5 was a downgrade in every regard.

Note 3 was my favourite and probably the best, at least regarding popularity/support/market impact. But no OIS, terrible camera performance by today's standards (especially if you got rid of Samsung ROMs in order to make sense for having it), and the phone's built quality leaves a lot to be desired (Note 4 was an improvement).

A Note 7/FE with removable battery and a better built stylus would have been the ideal phone for me but designers/marketers/managers at Samsung never have a clue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] foo:
My Note 4 died a view months ago so I bought a Note 8. Although it has more power and all I still miss my Note 4. I hate the round edges of my Note 8. It's a pain in the a.. to use it with remote desktop. Those edges are good for nothing. I also hate the fact that I can't replace the battery anymore. Now I have to carry a power bank with me, while before I just had a fully charged replacement battery with me.

Screen and power is very good, but the old screen was better as it has not had this silly aspect ratio. I want to show my pictures with my phone, but due to the silly aspect ratio, I have huge black borders left and right and the actual area feels smaller than on my Note 4.

So yes, I liked my Note 4 more, but the Note 8 is not a bad phone at all.

[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] longreat:
Just bought a Huawei P10 Lite, was mainly looking for an Android 7.0 phone due to the newish Android feature of using an SD card to extend the internal memory and the P10 Lite seemed the most feature-rich phone at the price point.

To my horror there doesnt seem to be an option in the Memory & Storage options to configure the SD card as internal storage. I searched online but nothing about this phone and extending the internal storage which seems odd as I thought it was a popular phone. I noticed a post regarding the P8 where a user stated Huawei hadn't included this Android feature (seems bizarre) and they gave instructions on how to root the device and do something strange to it.

Surprised no one talking about it!
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] Ammar_:
There's definitely an option to use the SD card as your main storage device in storage section as I used it before. What firmware is your on right now? It worked fine for me on my WAS-LX1AC185B172
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] 西村大一:
If 32 gigabytes is not enough for you, then i don't know how much is enough. 128GB maybe?

Anyways, there is an option in "Memory & storage" called "Default location", which basically switches the internal storage for the SDcard. This is what you're looking for.
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] Trixanity:
I think OP means adoptable storage - a feature introduced in Marshmallow. It merges your external and internal storage into one large pool. It, however, prevents the card from being portable. The card is formatted specifically to your device and I believe it'll cause problems with the device function if removed anyway.

I don't think Huawei supports it. I have only found the option to flip the default storage location. It may be available through some of the format options but I'm not too keen on risking it wiping my card if it doesn't give me a prompt if I was to test it.

It may be possible to force it through ADB commands. Not sure though.
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] longreat:
Hi all yes specifically referring to adoptable storage.

I have set the SD card as "Default Storage" but in my experience it doesnt mean more than the system storing user data like photos and music on the SD card which is a no brainer really (why would a user even need to set this as an option?). Doesn't seem to be any info about what this actually does on this phone though. I can't even see an option to move Apps to the SD card on the P10 Lite but that was always a bizarre and tediously repetitive and half-hearted operation on my old Samsung S5, even if an App supported it, after an update it would just revert back to internal phone storage.

Many of my messaging apps have bloated databases that grow to over 1Gb in size after a couple of years let alone the bloatware of most apps in general. I notice that some messaging apps even keep media files inside the internal filesystem structure which ends up being the internal memory space. I would rather this was instead eating up cheap SD card space than the faster internal memory left for just the OS.

Considering that half of the phone storage is used up by the time you first turn it on, the adoptable storage funcationality introduced in Android Marshmallow is a gods send. Can't believe phone manufactures are trying to protect product placement with their 32GB and 64GB models to the extent of leaving out a flagship Android feature!

God data storage on Android is still a mess after all these years!
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] Trixanity:
The SD card isn't as fast. That's one reason they don't want you to install apps onto it. It degrades the experience. And without an API of some sort it would be difficult to implement an app structure that split the data to place non-vital data on the card. Many devices don't have slots so it isn't an area developers give much thought.

If you use the format option, does it give you any option to select adoptable storage or is it just erase?

Otherwise I guess your best option is to try look for ADB commands or maybe even root.

Edit: I found an option to allow apps on external storage in developer settings if you scroll all the way to the bottom.
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] HANSB57:
I used an SD card to store my Here we Go and Sygic maps when travelling.

Until I took a break from driving one day, connected an USB OTG cable with usb stick to the device and all my maps from the internal SD were gone.
