[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] baxtex:
redmi 5 plus and redmi note 5 is same device, but region wise the name is different.

another model is REDMI NOTE 5 PRO with upgraded processor and dual camera, and a front camera of 20MP. I hope the confusion is clear now.

Ok, so just to confirm:

Redmi Note 5 and the Redmi Note 5 Plus is the same device, the name difference is because of regions. However these models exists in various configurations such as different amounts of RAM, storage and colors.

Redmi Note 5 PRO is a newer model with dual cameras, and new CPU.

Is the pro version even out? Because I can't find it. Then I got examples such as this: https://www.honorbuy.com/218-xiaomi-redmi-note-5

Which do have dual cameras and new cpu but no 20MP front camera.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] saief99:
Absolutely correct.

Pro version is availabe here in India.

One easy way to distinguish is PRO version has dual rear camera and 20MP front camera, where redmi 5 plus / redmi note 5 has single camera .
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] baxtex:
Alright! I just looked at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5px3gLUZgY and he said that the chinese version does not support Band 20, so I will probably wait until the PRO version comes out in a global version.

I am currently using the Lineage Rom test version.

However, I could not back up my original ASRAM c636.

So, if you have backed up the original ASRAM c636 in its initial state, can you give me a twrp backup file so I can backup it?
[General Questions and Answers] assholewebb:
I am trying to re-root my Galaxy J700T running updated 7.1.1 build #J700TUVU3BQK3 kernel version 3.10.61. I had previously rooted the phone with Odin through TWRP while running 6.1.1 marshmallow. After the update I can not get TWRP to boot. Odin will run and confirm Pass, but as soon as i try to boot recovery the phone goes to a blue android updating screen for a few sec and then shows me a dead Android avatar for a min with a no command dialog, and then boots up normal. I would appreciate any suggestions please. I miss my root access and apps.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AwkwardUberHero:
Hi all,

I am possibly interested in rooting my device. I have been rooting/rom'ing since back on my HTC Hero forever ago. Made a brief trip to iOS, and got into jailbreaking, but always missed the Android atmosphere. I am having issues with the battery on my device, and have debated factory resetting the device, and came across the forums about rooting.

I would just run a stock rom, with root, to be able to use Gravity box and Xposed. I am not super familiar with terminal/command line, so that part worries me a bit.

Anyone that is rooted, how does your device's battery last? Any major issues you notice? I use my camera for pictures of my family everyday, and don't want to risk anything that could compromise this feature.

Thanks in advance
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Prattham:
Rooting doesn't hinder or damage or affect your battery directly

If you have enough reasons to root just root

I have plenty reasons to root that's why i did

Cheers ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sublimaze:
I've had lots of Android phones and tablets over the years, and every one was rooted at some point. Imo, rooting is not as critical as it used to be. Back in the early days of Android, rooting was the only way to get certain features that were later incorporated into Android. As Android matured, rooting became less important unless you needed a specific function or app. Rooting is still required for stuff like Titanium Backup, AdAway, Viper4Android, etc, because those need access to system-level files, which is impossible without root permissions.

Ask yourself what do you plan to do with root access? If you have a specific need for root, then go for it. Obviously you are not new to the game, and the procedure for rooting Pixel 2 is brain-dead simple compared to what you did for HTC Hero. However, if you don't have a specific need or plan, then it is not worth messing with imo. The Pixel 2 is an absolute beast out of the box. Root tweaks won't get you significantly better performance. I am rooted and use Sysconfig patcher (a Magisk module) to allow doze for Google Play Services for a very small gain in battery life. But I wouldn't root just for that. Monthly updates are a little more hassle if you are rooted, but if you get that far then you should be able to flash updates too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
I too am a stock rom + root user. My battery life is outstanding for my usage patterns, usually 8-12 hours of SOT. As far as rooting, only you can answer that. Personally, I love it!! I like using dark themes, AdAway, TiBu, and the ability to use custom kernel tweaks. Having said all that, I haven't noticed any decrease in performance with day to day usage that you would likely use. So, if you ask me....root that sucker! ????
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AwkwardUberHero:
Seeing your input on this, Badger, makes me want to do it. Granted, not having rooted in over four years or so, I feel like I am missing a wealth of knowledge on this subject. I may give it a shot later today and see what happens. The only thing that worries me is installing the updates that come out each month. Do you do those monthly?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Oh I absolutely do the monthly updates using fastboot to install the factory images. It's actually very easy once you get the hang of it. You can look over my personal guide if you'd like so you have an idea of what to do :good:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AndrasLOHF:
I never rooted my Hero but did completely unlock my HTC 4G LTE(S-off???). Dear lord was that a nightmare. I think back then it actually required a tool(Dirty Racoon???), only certain ROM's would boot on certain bootloaders, etc. I don't miss those days lol.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] galaxys:
I did root the HTC Hermes (win5) which was a trip! :eek:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
While the 2 XL is a great phone even without root, I think there is just too much fun, experimenting, and customization to miss if not rooted. But this is a personal choice and you have to decide if you really want a specific battery icon, or any other custom feature.

You been given links to some steps and guides which are very good references. Since you said it's been four years since you rooted, I'm throwing in my guide as well :D

I am not a technical kinda guy, and sometimes the little details are what trip me up, so I crafted this initially for myself needing to be reminded of each step.

It is very detailed, step by step with tips and links and everything needed in one place. It certainly isn't the final authority for sure, but I've used it dozen and dozens of times with no issues. You can always default to the guide or other references if something isn't clear.

Take the plunge, I think you'll be very glad you did. In my opinion, root makes a great device an excellent device :D

Hey badger, thanks for these steps. Debating on trying this tomorrow. Do you have the actual rooting directions as well for a Mac? Tried looking in YouTube but could only find windows.

Thanks again in advance.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
First you'll need to enable developer options by tapping on the build number 7 times in settings/system/about phone. Then enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging. You'll need adb/sdk installed on your Mac, then you'll need to unlock your bootloader with the follow fastboot commands..

fastboot flashing unlock....

And

fastboot flashing unlock_critical...

You have to have magisk 16.3 and the twrp installer zip in your internal storage.

Then you'll need to fastboot the twrp.img with the Mac specific prefix command (which I don't know), but the command is...fastboot boot twrpxxxx.img

That'll boot you into twrp, then hit install, and navigate to where your twrp installer and magisk zips are. Flash twrp, followed by magisk, reboot, and you should be rooted.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AwkwardUberHero:
Awesome. Thank you. I was messing with adb a bit today, enabling immersive mode and what not. I think that I can follow these steps.

I used this on 5T and it did work super.

But i am wondering if this is working for view10 or not... V10 requires a unique code to unlock BL, where do we provide that code here?

[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] PIRATA!:
Hi guys.

I'm looking forward for Honor View 10 or Honor 10, and as I'm with Samsung S8, I'm trying to understand if these Honor devices can receive a recovery consol or be rooted in a way that can be restored to stock without being noticed from official assistance in case I'll need to go for an assistance in warranty.

Second, as I'm with Samsung since years, I've always seen to need a recovery consol and a root package to flash (as standard classic methods) for having complete access to phone, while here I read about unlocking and unlocking cuts from Honor (that I'm reading now it seams that they stopped to release easily the code needed), recovery, bootloader and other things that I'm completely lost in reading

I'm not speaking of the strict interest in flashing alternative roms, but at least to have the possibility to clean the phone deeply once in a while manually with SD-Maid, RootExplorer and other apps (maybe you know of more professional...) so for it not to get fat and more fat in time, with the possibility to clean corps and old unused system files without the need of a wipe, so to have a slim internal sd-card as much as I can (specially if I'll go for the Honor 10)

So please explain me a bit of what is this Honor world as I'm really willing to they one even tomorrow!!

Thanks to allall.

Hello, forum.

I recently bricked my phone by accident of cause. I was using TWRP and I tried to install the OnePlus 5T factory image, but it didn't want to succeed. Instead, it gave me an error code saying: "This package is for oneplus 5t devices this is a oneplus 5" I didn't think much of it and downloaded and successfully installed, the factory image from the OnePlus 5. Now my phone's software is the OnePlus 5's but the hardware is OnePlus 5T. :eek:

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Macusercom:
Are you sure you've used the TWRP for the OnePlus 5T? Its codename is "dumpling". I suspect you've used the "cheeseburger" TWRP which is the reason why you can't flash the right OS.
