I flashed my original boost firmware last night, and updated to arc2, I'm currently making a rom from the system that would come with xposed, and magisk, that should fix things if peters doesn't, mine might only be good for boost, I have a hard time seeing the difference as my phone doesn't have service.

This worked for me, his method reset how my J7 reads SIM cards. You should try it if you're still having issues with the Sprint only lock.

Dope, I fixed my issue, but I would still appreciate it since I want to add Xposed and Magisk to my phone. I posted a fix above if you ever have a similar issue and need a reset.

[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KryptixTV:
Try downloading the firmware from https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-j7-perx/SM-J727P/VMU/download/J727PVPU3ARC2/215249/

Use Odin and apply all the files in the zip into Odin respectively (BL, AP, etc.) and repeat the method above again with resetting the network settings.

Hope it works out for you this time.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mr December:
If this article is to be believed, Google doesn't care about root and doesn't void warranties on phone's that have been rooted. So, if that's the case I wouldn't think Google would patch any previous root methods. Has that been the case? Have you been able to upgrade on a rooted Pixel 2 freely without losing root due to patches?

Article: https://androidcommunity.com/root-t...s-delight-google-wont-void-warranty-20171024/
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Many folks on these threads have had to RMA their rooted Google phones. I've never read about anyone not being able to root their Google replacement phone. Also, when we get the monthly updates, there's never been an incidence I've seen where the user couldn't achieve root again. Hope that answers your question :cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mr December:
That is awesome. Really makes me want to stick with solely owning Google phones in the future. Had TONS of root/patch issues with LG. Will be rooting as soon as mine arrives!

Edit: Another question, are there currently any issues with Google Pay and Magisk?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Megaflop666:
Yeah, you can't use Google pay with root.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Magisk hides itself from Google pay, works fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mr December:
Hooo man, I'm excited. Can't wait. ? Thanks for confirming, much appreciated.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Megaflop666:
So you've actually got it to work? I have tried magisk hide and Google pay always detects my device is rooted and won't allow me to add a credit card to it. I've never had any luck with it. I'm running stock with Magisk.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Triscuit:
Set up Google pay before you root, then, install magisk and hide Google pay with magisk hide.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Pkt_Lnt:
One thing to note here.

Google will fix security issues by patching possible security exploits.

In the past and even now most root methods use an exploit to achieve root. It that exploit is a known security risk too, it is likely to be patched at some point. That is why some older root methods stopped working. and no other exploit that worked was found.

I suspect topjohnwu and a few devs who have deep working knowledge of Magisk know if a patch blocking Magisk is possible now or in the future, but they have some mad skills to keep it working and undetected by many apps that block root.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Megaflop666:
I had tried that a few months ago and didn't have any luck. Google pay quit working as soon as I rooted. If something changed and it works, I'll unroot this afternoon when my grandson goes home and try it again.

Glad I was wrong and hopefully learned something new.

Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mr December:
Let us know if it works, I'm definitely interested to know.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Before you do that clear cache and data on Pay. Make sure Pay is checked in Magisk and the safety net test is passing. Then add the card.

[Touch Cruise General] electricdemon:
Hello,

I'm a long time browser of this site (for the past few years), and this is my first time posting. Great site - I love it!

I've just upgraded to a o2 Orbit 2 (HTC Touch Cruise).

I love this device, I've been using Pocket PCs since PPC2000 but never a PDA/Phone hybrid before, this is my first, it's amazing!

I'm using an 8gb MicroSD card to store as much as I can, rather that storing apps on ther main memory (the only apps installed there are Resco file explorer, and any today plug-ins etc).

I am having a slight issue with Sprite Backup, included with this device.

Everytime I try and backup my device state to the SD card, the program freezes about 32 seconds into the backup operation, the status in the app says "building self restoring header". I've left this for well over an hour, just incase it's working, but when i've returned to the device it's still stuck in this stage, and I have to soft-reset the device.

I've hard-reset a few times now, but to no avail, the program still freezes.

Currently I'm using the default stock o2-branded rom:

ROM Version: 1.25.206.3 WWE

ROM Date@ 01/03/08

Radio Version: 1.58.25.14

Protocol version: 25.69.30.05H

Anyone else experience a problem like this? If so, how did you get around it?

Thanks in advance, Keep up the good work, :D

Chris.
[Touch Cruise General] Winshit:
never had this problem

hi there!

I got the same device, and it works (almost) perfect.

I can perform a Backup, no lacks, no critical errors, but everytime one file is skipped(a tmp file). It realy doesn't matter for me, i tried to restore a backup yesterday and it worked fine. The only thing which wasn't restored was the "photo dial cube", i had to add my friends again.. i think you know what i mean, ah and i had to set up the vpn connection again.

Everything else was restored fine. All contacs, all of my messages, pix, software... even the trial period of mochavnc keeps running, and wasn't reseted(doh).

I think a reinstallation could solve your problem. On the CD's which were delivered by O2 there is a Insaller for Sprite Backup. Try this.

Have a nice Day!

Greetings

Win****
[Touch Cruise General] electricdemon:
Hi there, thanks for the reply.

I've reinstalled again. It was one of my apps (S2U2, or CallFirewall) that was causing the problem.

Some files were locked and couldnt be unlocked when Sprite Backup kills the processes.

I've found an alternative backup application, Resco Backup, that works flawlessly.

I've even performed a hard reset and restored from the backup, so all is good!! :D
[Touch Cruise General] ShonkaiDJ:
So you don't use sprite anymore?

I'm fighting with my phone for three days now.

everytime I reboot after a restore, (sprite reboots it first after which all comes up well adn my phone is my old one) but as said after any reboot I do hereafter all my microsoft applications can't find their initiation files sych as :mssyncapp, :mspoutlook :mscprog, :msexplore:confused:

I've tried many times and many things and discovered that probably sprite is doing a background task. And it is.

As it resets to the wrong time and date, when set in the right time and date it has missed tasks and it will start these tasks imediately.

Uninstalling sprite helped me out!

But sprite is not easy to uninstall so many files will stay onboard and again after a reboot: crash.

Since the only sollution is factory reset (t-mobile screen), install sprite, restore phone, uninstall sprite, reboot and hope it will not fail the microsoft apps again; it is very time consuming to find out what the *** sprite is doing / has done to my phone.

Hard reset and reinstall every single application I had already installed seems the best way and like my predecessor; do not use the software that came free with your phone. It kills and also sels; a premium version, now why would I need that? :eek:

[LG K10 Themes, Apps and Mods] rssxda:
I discovered a new way to control DPI in any way I see fit. :D

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 1: Download the LG drivers and install them on your PC.

Step 2: Download ADB + Fastboot, extract to the desktop of your PC.

Step 3: Open and right-click your mouse / touchpad and click "open command window here"

Step 4: Type adb devices and see if your LG K10 has been recognized.

Step 5: Type adb shell.

Step 6: After the adb shell is recognized, type "wm density" + number of dpi you want!

There's a way to get custom dpi on the nav buttons?
[LG K10 Themes, Apps and Mods] CrashOverride93:
Yeah, and you can change the screen resolution too with: wm size #x#.

Note: I recommend you to change it based on a basic calculation of every new size (percentage), to keep aspect ratio.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] ap4ss3rby:
So the people on the Moto Z forum have managed to get semi-working treble support, basically it requires using a script (namely Capire Le Treble)to convert Generic System Images (GSI) to Device Specific System Images (DSSI) in order to boot those since it does not have a /vendor partition. I wonder if something similar can be achieved on our device.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Exanneon:
Not sure, though it's likely to be possible.

Someone I know recently bought a Non US S9 dual sim and is using tmobile on it. They don't have VoLTE, Wifi Calling, or Video Calling options. Is there a way to flash the Tmobile firmware to this and get those things working? Also will the Tmobile bands be working after flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] sentron:
I'm in the same situation as well. Bought a SM-G9600DS and it doesn't have any of these features - VoLTE, Wifi calling or video calling. VoLTE and Wifi calling menu options are missing from the settings > connections menu or from the dialer > settings menu. The video calling option is there on the dialer screen but it doesn't work. I am not interested in video calling but would prefer the other two features.

Called US T-Mobile tech support to see if they can provision WiFi calling but they said they won't be able to do any such "provisioning" and these features will not be available unless the device has them.

Does anyone know a way to enable these features for T-Mobile US on the first SIM card? Not necessarily flashing the T-mobile ROM but perhaps installing the wifi calling apks or something (pardon my dumb question)? Thank you!

I'm in the same boat - I have a SM-G9600 and trying to use on T-mobile with no Wifi calling / visual voicemail etc.

It seems that the latest T-mobile firmware is available here:

www . sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s9/SM-G960U/

The question is, can we install at SM-G960U on the SM-G9600 successfully?

Has anyone done this?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] sentron:
I'm have v2 bootloader on my S9 G9600/DS with OWO 2ARE6 firmware. I want to flash to T-Mobile US firmware which also comes with bootloader v2. Apparently, this requires flashing to G960U1 (US unbranded Snapdragon) first, but that only comes with bootloader v1. Does anyone know how to get to T-Mobile firmware in this case? Is there a way to rollback to the v1 bootloader on the OWO dual sim firmware? If I just flash the T-Mobile v2 bootloader without first flashing the G960U1 unbranded firmware, will it work? If the process fails, is it easy to get back to the v2 OWO firmware?

Hi,

I try to port Android Marshmallow for one tablet for couple of days. I have a Marshmallow rom from other device ("Advan T1X" ? ) which runs on my device "out of a box" but with some bugs… the screen is upside down, some resolution/dpi problems, camera problem and the main issue… thouch screen. I've read some "port guides" and I've tried to replace libinput.so but after, device stuck in bootloop. What can I do to run this rom properly ? I don't have any kernel source because my device is "china-like".

I have problems with creating CWM with MTK Droid Tool using my stock boot.img too. I use CWM from similar device instead… (it works properly).

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] YaKoStar:
I noticed that my Pixel 2 XL suddenly stopped connecting to the car via the USB cable (Android Auto). When I connect the cable, the phone charges but nothing happens on the monitor. When I try the same cable with my OG Pixel XL it works fine. I also tried connecting my Pixel 2 XL to my PC, and it didn't work either. Windows makes a sound, and then I get an error message saying "USB device not recognized. the last usb device you connected to this computer malfunctioned." Nothing shows up on the phone screen and I can't change the USB-connection type. I tried factory resetting the phone but I still have the same issue. I have tried many different cables, and all work with the OG Pixel XL but not the Pixel 2 XL.

Also the time estimate for how long a full charge will take is gone as well. It only says "charges rapidly" when I connect it to the charger that came with the phone.

Is my charging port damaged? Can I fix it somehow? I tried carefully cleaning it with water and a tooth brush and drying it, but still have the same issue. Could it be corrosion? Should I try using PRF TCC on the charge port?

:(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] gjkrisa:
Cable could be going bad or it's missing the 100ohm resister the phone just went into protection it will work again at some point but I recommend getting a new cable direct from Google

Tired of buying ones that should have the resister but still not having quick charge work and issues like that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] causey:
Check for these options, see if it got changed to charging only.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] YaKoStar:
Unfortunately, I don't have these options available. Like I said, nothing happens. The phone only goes into charging mode. I've tried a bunch of different cables that works with my OG Pixel.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] skimminstones:
in developer options check to see if under "select USB configuration" you have it set to charging only.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Anony58:
I have also started to notice a weird charging issue with my Pixel 2 XL. First, I thought that it was the original cable - ordered a replacement via Google Support but today I started noticing a very similar issue. Basically, only 1 way of the reversible cable can charge my device, so if I turn it upside down it won't charge at all - no matter which of the sides I plug into it. When it's plugged in normally, it'll charge for a few seconds then off and on again - all of this at a very fast speed, so it'll keep my screen on at all times. I've noticed this as I've left my phone on the bed for half an hour to charge it then spot that my screen was on for like 5 minutes - when I picked up the phone, it was pretty warm and would charge and disconnect and then charge again - in a loop.

Meanwhile, if I plug in my Anker (a third party) USB-C cable, it will charge just fine - no matter which of the reversible sides I try it with. So having checked that, I thought it was the wall plug going crazy or something, so I plugged the USB-C cable into my computer (Thunderbolt 3) and it was the same issue - it would charge normally only with one of the sides, so when I turned it upside down, nothing would happen.

Also, what's weird is that the Pixel cable, both the old and the replacement one works fine with the Galaxy S9, but not my Pixel - so I assume it's a hardware (charging port) issue with my device, so tomorrow the UK team should get in touch with me to discuss my options :/
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] YaKoStar:
Tried doing it. No change.

I tried using some contact spray to see if it's because of rust/oxidation of the pins in the charging port, no change.

I still think it's an hardware issue though. Like I said, not even factory resetting the phone fixed it. I'll just live with not having android auto and USB, not super important for me anyway. Thanks guys.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] gettinwicked:
I wonder if there is a defect in the charging ports of these. I just got a replacement because mine wouldn't charge on any c to c charger (I have two factory chargers). It would only charge when connected to a computer with an A to C, or using the same cable type to a wall charger. It was really weird... This is also the second or third post in the last week or two I've seen about something pertaining to the port.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] YaKoStar:
There probably is .. I've read a lot of posts about people having similar issues.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] YaKoStar:
Ok... So something weird just happened. I connected my phone to the charger as usual, and suddenly I could see the "estimated time until full charge" notification again, for the first time in weeks! I tried disconnecting it, and connecting it to my computer and I could browse the images on my phone! I thought my issue was fixed, so I disconnected it and connected it to the outlet again.. And now it is the same as before again. No estimate until full charge and windows says the device malfunctioned... What the hell happened there for a couple of minutes?
