I just wanted to say thanks. I tried using LG Bridge, but that wasn't working. After some digging to get LG UP working, it flashed perfectly (other than my inability to choose "upgrade" over "refurbish" - but that's on me).

Anyway... Thanks for the upload.

Worked like a charm, just my luck I've been doing the check for update seemingly every other day. And boom today it works!

We never got to actually verify what his phone actually was. Runningnak3d has said it was a h930 with h932 bits, but eyebrows were raised with the whole cross flashing discovery. We just don't know.

So one thing that doesn't work anymore is with the brightness switch. You used to be able to hit the little sun icon and jump to 50 and 90 percent. Now tap it and nothing.

Don't know why they took that away. I wish we had adaptive auto brightness like Samsung does as this phone leans more towards being dim

Tmobile put the kibosh on the OTA upgrade on May 12, due to reports of bugs. Must have been a significant number of reports for them to ax it. My V30 said about it, but I hadn't done it. Now it can't see it. No ETA for fixes and re-release.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] enel_:
Hello everyone!

Basically my question is in the title, I am just wondering if it is too late... I am a proud owner of an HTC M8 running Lineage and Oreo but it is time to move on after almost 4 years. After this phone, I am a big fan of HTC because this one is an indestructible tank and since the OG Pixel XL came out, I fell in love with the phone. First, it is a Pixel. Second, it is HTC made.

I am thinking to get a Pixel XL 128 or to use a bit more money and to get a Note 8. Both used of course, I do not have money for new ones.

What are your opinions on this subject, is it too late for the OG Pixel XL? Is the hardware too old now in 2018? I want a phone that I can use at least 3-4 years.

I am hoping that you can help me out here :)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] NepoRood:
Depends on the price you pay, I guess, I have the 128Gb version and am very happy with it, also purchased used. The Snapdragon 821 (msm8996) is still a decent processor and the device performs very well for my needs.

Firmware support will likely end in October of this year, and security updates at the same time next year. According to Google anyway, however, the device is still in active development here on XDA and will be for some time to come, I think anyway. Foregoing some unforeseen disaster, I don't plan on getting rid of mine for a while...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] moyses:
I just got mine, a second hand for approximately 250 euro and i'm very happy

SD 821 still decent, and support will probably continue after google support ends on octobre
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] lafester:
I just got mine. Unlocked, flashed P and played around with a few roms. Considering most phones aren't even on Oreo yet this phone is still very relevant I bet we even get Q next year.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Cristiano Matos:
It's not too late for sure. I have one XL 128gb. He died in January 1st so I had to start a RMA process. I live in Brazil and I friend in Charlotte did it for me. Anyway, meantime I purchased a Note8 and two Pixels 2 XLs. I just can't live without my note and all my two Pixels 2 are sold. My Pixel XL arrives 4 days ago and I can say that Pixel OG don't loose in anything. Camera are the same, my opinion, and the screen is far better than the Pixel 2 XL.

Pixel OG is a device that still worth to buy. Also Android Phone is coming as well

hi

i have a deca-core note 4, but when i tried to update some mui or something via the update menu, it just came up with a blue chinese recovery mode after a reboot, so maybe someone can help me out with what to do next?

and if its deca-core(2.1ghz), then it is mediatek, not snapdragon? (i dont see any model numbers on the box)

i also managed to get into the fastboot mode with the white soviet bunny fixing the robot, but which tool should i use next then?

maybe something from here? - https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/guide-redmi-note-4-unlock-bootloader-t3517806

and which tool could i use to check if it's unlocked or not?

and if im already hacking the stuff around, should i already root it somehow then? currently im not even sure what is twrp and all of the other stuff... :s

(and the recovery mode had somekind of big alien head as a logo with some red text below it)

the stock version was also somekind of android 6.0, but can i somehow upgrade it to 7.0 then? (which i actually wanted to achieve via the update menu, but it only downloaded 104MB of mui update... and then crashed...)

thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Noter2017:
Deca core means it's MediaTek which means your phone will never receive Android 7.

Which ROM are you actually trying to install?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] jimmer1:
it was just doing its own mui update, but then it did not boot anymore after the reboot and now i dont really know what do i need to do next... i did get it to fastboot mode, but i dont know what i need to do next and which files i need etc... (the main recovery mode seems to be in chinese, but i did notice the fastboot button in it... after the big alien head logo with some red text below it...)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] jimmer1:
how can i check if its unlocked and which recovery version should i go through then?:s
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] jimmer1:
well, seems like it booted back up after i just switched the phone off overnight....

and now it wants to do another mui v9.5.2.0.mbfmifa stable update, 1,4gb.... so how was it even 104mb before...

(update includes global browser v9.5.6 to fix GDPR and FC(04-13), fix security exception(04-13) and fix reboot always after OTA update(04-13)...)

and the current version seems to be android 6.0 MRA58K (2018-02-05) with MUI global 9.5 Stable, 9.5.1.0(mbfmifa)...

but should i even bother with the update then or just use the phone as is? :confused:

(i did not see any OEM unlocking menu either, altho i did enable the developer options...)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] jimmer1:
well, if i would want to root it, then which procedure should i go through? and is there any rooting procedure for Mediatek chip anyway?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] RapGodS:
So lets begin.

Your phone is for sure mediatek since its decacore codenamed

NIKEL remember it for future use.

Doing stuff with a mtk device actually harder than a snapdragon(eg. xiaomi redmi note 4 snapdragon) and in my point of view and experience i have had chances of bricking a mtk are more, that doesnt mean that you will brick your device. So if you are ready to take the risk do it. You will be rewarded by being free from thr Miui, having a lot more battery,performance and upgrading to the latest Android 8.1 as well as some great tweaks!( I hate miui lol)

:Basic Info:

P.S.->(MAKE A BACKUP OF EVERYTHING AS YOUR DATA MIGHT BE ERASED IF YOU UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER.)

P.S.2-> (If my explaination is unclear forgive me as its almost 6 months that i erased miui from my phone)

Now for the procedure, go to settings->System->About Phone->Tap Build number 7 times.This will enable developer options.Go again to settings if i recall dev settings are generated before the System. Open Dev settings and scroll a little but, dont touch anything though. Spot a setting that says about OEM unlock,open it. If it says recovery locked its locked,otherwise unlocked.

Now if you want to unlock recovery you should apply for unlock permission here ( http://en.miui.com/unlock). Log in with your mi account read and follow the steps given. You will eventually apply for unlock permission after writing and accepting some stuff. At most you will wait 7 to 14 days till a message containing a code and further steps to unlocking bootloader will be sent to your phone number. You will need a pc for this and downloading miflashtool which you can find going to the page i gave you before. Follow the steps given and pray to god that everything will be fine.

[Maze Alpha Questions & Answers] matteo.de-leo:
Became interested in this phone since I found a 6/128 model for 160$. If fastboot is failing (maybe because of the different partition size?) I'd go with SPFlashTool: if I remember well phone only need to be swithed off when you start downloading the image, therefore it goes well with bootloping if you choose the right moment
[Maze Alpha Questions & Answers] rafaello21:
I bought it 170$ when it was on discount no matter what i do “bootloader mode” not works because of the error that i did and no one helps
[Maze Alpha Questions & Answers] matteo.de-leo:
That's exactly what I'm saying: SPFlashTool doesn't require your phone to be in fastboot mode, only to be switched of when you plug it in. I had the same problem with an Archos Sense 55S after treying to root it. I wasn't able to enter neither fastboot or recovery mode, therefore I flashed the stock rom with SPFT
[Maze Alpha Questions & Answers] rafaello21:
I would do it if i have Stock rom ? i am very disappointed because of bought this phone how is it possible that phone doesnt have stock rom is there any possibility to fix this without stock rom?
[Maze Alpha Questions & Answers] matteo.de-leo:
Which model are you using, the 6/64 or the 6/128?

For the former you can use a TWRP Backup done by [MENTION=2553956]dreambo[/MENTION] in order to restore at least the boot and and recovery partition

https://xdaforums.com/maze-alpha/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-maze-alpha-x-t3740575

[Maze Alpha Questions & Answers] matteo.de-leo:
Hi ttl1982, before giving an answer I should know what are we talking about. Is it the same phone? And which version? What is the current situation (bootlooping into TWRP, bootlooping into Android)? Even assuming we're still talking about the Maze Alpha X, there are still too much variables! :confused:
[Maze Alpha Questions & Answers] rafaello21:
I have Maze Alpha X 6/64 model. If “bootloader mode” doesnt open how can i install ‘twrp’ ? About Thread article i read everything but my only problem is my phone dont open “bootloader mode”. And only solution is stock rom i think than you need SPFlashTool to install it. Maybe you know better than me how can i install “twrp” without opening “bootloader mode” ? I wrote above why this happened.

I click Power and Vol+ buttons as i show in the video phone turn of but doesn’t open “bootloader mode”
[Maze Alpha Questions & Answers] matteo.de-leo:
No, even in the case you just want to boot into TWRP (and be able to use one of the backups provided in that post) you need to access fastboot mode. during bootlooping does your PC find the device with the "adb devices" command (namely, as soon as your phone boots up you'd spam this command via terminal)?
[Maze Alpha Questions & Answers] ttl1982:
Hi, Thanks for your quick response. I will share some more info like you asked.

- Phone: Maze Alpha X

- Version: 6GB RAM/128GB Storage

- Current situation: It won't start at all (when connected to Windows PC i get the 'USB device not recognized' error, so it does see something)

My idea is the following:

- Install recovery with SPK flashtool

- Restore with backup (i have this from another thread) or the system dump.

The above does not work because i do not have the correct preloader file (so SPK flash tool does recognize the phone?).

ADB is not recognizing the phone, so it can't be done that way (as far as my knowledge goes).

I asked Maze several times to provide me the original rom but i get zero response, no matter on what channel i ask them.
[Maze Alpha Questions & Answers] rafaello21:
I will try but phone turn off and one very quick. Is 1-2 seconds enough for doing what you are saying ? Twrp flash i have to do ? Is there any phone and have similar problem like this ? Can help with help of Video ? And i will try what you said and back to you thanks
[Maze Alpha Questions & Answers] rafaello21:
I also wrote them several times about stock rom but they didn’t answer me i think company only think about money. Do we have to throw our phone to garbage because of one wrong thing ? What should i do ?
[Maze Alpha Questions & Answers] matteo.de-leo:
Yes I was thinking the same. Eventually you do not need to install the recovery, restoring the bootloader should be enough: if the bootloader is already unlocked you can just boot into TWRP and from there restoring the backup previously copied into a SD card.

Why do you say you don't have the right one? Did SPFlashTool return you some error?

Well AFAIK Maze is completely done, no surprise if they do not answer. I'm reasonably sure that there's a way to dump these files from a working phone, if I'm right I'll try with mine
[Maze Alpha Questions & Answers] rafaello21:
I tried when I click Power and Vol+ it does bootloop.But the only way to put phone into “bootloader mode” you need SPFlashTool. I dont know what can i do now. When phone was bootlooping i wrote several times “adb devices” but nothing happened
