Download the latest Google Play Services

This will then activate the UPDATE NOW option.

You can then go into system setting and check for update and the APRIL update will now be available.

I don't know if Google made any changes, but I'm not in the play services beta program and I received the update 4/2 when it was released. 2 other coworkers had the same experience. Previous updates would take days and sometimes weeks. Hopefully this is the new norm.

[FIXED] help please

I hope i'm posting in the correct thread. I flashed the april update to my 2 xl. Now when I started the phone to set everything back up, it tries to go through the setup but I am unable to do anything as it just keeps popping up that google services framework has stopped working over and over. Also, in between those pop ups, it says media services has stopped. Any advice would be appreciated.

well i reflashed the factory image with out the -w.. booted right into os perfectly fine. went back flashed twrp.. still no problems. Seems the issue started after i flashed the "FLASH kernal"

Confirmed FLASH kernal is causing it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SamuelBegui:
Yeah I should have posted how I fixed my issue. I kept having a corrupt system when flashing the April security update directly. What I did was I flashed the March security update, booted into the system, and downloaded the OTA. It was very strange because even booting into the March update then flashing the April update using the flash-all.bat script I ended up with a corrupt system once more.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Phazonclash:
I don't know what they did, by my phone definitely feels snappier, with less animation stuttering in specific applications (Play Store, Facebook scrolling, etc.). Battery life seems a tad better too.

For the record, I'm on stock, unrooted firmware + kernel
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Demonoid_i_am:
Same issue. Couldn't for the life of me flash the factory image.

Did full uninstall of Magisk from it's in app option and then updated with OTA and then reflashed it after update.

Update seems great so far.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Waibashi:
Does anyone know why they're two versions of the April Security Update? In Canada, there seems to be two variant of the update. Some people got April 1st and others got April 5th.

I'm using a Pixel XL 2 and I have April 1st version on TELUS network. I got it yesterday night. My build number is OPM4.171019.015.A1 on the website it says 8.1.0 (OPM2.171019.029, Apr 2018)

Anyone know if I got all the hotfixes and all ? This is weird.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
You would have to fully unroot, and return to stock recovery by fastbooting the boot.img. Or, you could fastboot the factory image if you are so inclined :good:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] def-g:
Quick question. When downloading the OTA image from Google site the OPM should match exactly to the one on your device right? The one on the Google site has the last 3 digits different. Mine is .021 and there's is .029.

G
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
The March image is .021, April .029. And that's for either the OTA or the factory images. Which one are you wanting to install?? ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] def-g:
The April one. So the .029 is the April Update den? Also saw a Magisk work around where u install the restore image and in step two of taking the OTA u reinstall. Ever try that one?

G
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Yes, April is .029

Personally, I don't mess with OTA's or side loading. I prefer fastbooting the factory images. Plus, I like the fact that if I jack something up, I can download and install a factory image and recovery all my data from my pc since I back data up frequently. But that's just me :good:

After which, it will not turn on still. WDRT won't recognize the PC. I tried flashing using CMD promt and follow some steps about the FFU file but still no avail. :(

I may know what to do...

You may disconnect the battery from your lumia

Get an USB cable that you don't need

Cut the part where the micro-usb part is located

Cut the data wires

Leave only red and black wires

Connect red wire to the + of the battery

Connect black wire to the - of the battery

Connect the USB cable to a wall charger

Leave it charging for 30 seconds

Check the voltage

It should be 3.7 volts

Another way to solve this problem

Your device may be bricked so that's why it doesn't get charge, so use my program called WPUT (Windows Phone Unbrick Tool)

I made a program that unbricks your device, recovers from QHSUSB_DLOAD, QHUSB_DLOAD.

It comes with an installer.

NOTE:

1. You should enter the license key that is provided in the License Agreement section (for checking that you are not a bot, so don't use autoinstaller!

2. You must download your emergency HEX and MBN files from lumiafirmware.com

3. You must specify the correct path to the HEX/MBN files otherwise the program will fail!

4. If the unbricking succeeds remove your battery from your device for 1 minute and put it back on

5. Charge the device for at least 30 minutes before turning it on!

6. Reflash your device with Windows Device Recovery Tool.

Download it here

Hi, I just got a new Mi Mix 2 and am wondering which ROM is the current best as of April 2018 for stability with all features (especially the proximity sensor, bluetooth, and all the basics)? I've read may of the ROM threads and haven't been able to come up with which would be best. The base version of Android doesn't matter to me as much as stability and that the ROM isn't based on MIUI (I can't stand it).

The program is in Chinese.

Earlier English versions do not see this phone.

[IMG="2"]https://s20.postimg.org/gfebm2arx/nrt_2.jpg[/IMG]

Everything you do at your own risk :

- install the program. Although in Chinese, nothing complicated should arise

- the program will offer to install qualcomm drivers

- run the program

- turn off the phone connect to USB

- click on the phone and hold all three buttons. The phone will turn on

- the phone connected to the computer will appear at the top and buttons will be active

- for backup press the leftmost arrow with the up arrow

- for unbricking press the middle icon

- for restore press the right icon

- for backup select the folder where the backup will merge

- will count down to 100% and the slider from the phone to the side of the computer

- exit the program.

The program asks something, but it's also clear where to click.

In the folder will be backup hardware parameters around 60kb.

This tool works only with these devices

service area

what does the service area include(what kind of files are these) ?? i want to backup the Nvram files of my phone

It can be done with twrp but want to make a backup before installing anything and before altering or changing things on teh phone first

i did find a progarm on the russian forum that is called QPST.2.7.460 and seem rather complicated

maybe will i need this program to make a full backup?? 60 kb is clearly not a copy of the full system
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yasasbandara:
Thanks for this thread.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yasasbandara:
QPST does NOT do what you have in mind.

I can understand the need for every precaution but adb commands are relatively safe and rarely cause issues. Once you have pushed a TWRP image in, you're pretty much in the 'safe' zone. Also this Nubia tool seems to have the capacity to push a working recovery in and unbrick the phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yasasbandara:
This program creates a file called nv.qcn with a size of 417kb (It's compressed, that's why we see 60kb).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rolandvb:
Nvram

My main question is not answered, does the files of this emergency tools contain the Nvram files of the phone when making a backup?:confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GERMAD:
Yes

Snapdragon use qcn files not nvram.

Just make a backup and save it to a safe location.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yasasbandara:
Thanks.

* When the phone is bricked, the tool seems to have the ability to flash the stock recovery into the recovery partition.

* Once this is achieved, you can download an Update.zip and use it with the update function of the stock recovery to bring the phone back to life.

* If errors like invalid IMEI, no IMEI etc. comes up, you can use the tool to restore these parameters back.

* The Chinese forums say that the version number of Update.zip has to match the version number of the ROM you had when you took the backup.

* So, the best time to take a backup is before you do anything (keep an update.zip of your original ROM with you).

[Miscellaneous Android Development] yasasbandara:
Forget the listed devices. Have you TRIED to use the tool. If the tool can detect the device and if the name is displayed correctly, then you have a chance. Also try different versions.

---------- Post added at 03:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 AM ----------

This "click on the phone" came out of Google translate. The original instructions were in a different language. Don't worry about it.

Can the tool detect your phone (the buttons get activated in recovery mode)? It doesn't matter if the phone is restarting.

If so you can use one of the other 2 buttons (easily detect which) to upload a recovery image. Once this is done, boot into the stock recovery and do the rest.
