I have samsung s5 (G900H) having damaged screen. Its screen is blank and touch is not working. I have flashed Marshmallow stock rom via odin then flashedTWRP 3.0.0-0 by Fevax via odin. TWRP recovery is installed successfully as TWRP folder with settings file is created. But I am unable to access recovery using adb . It shows no device in adb devices.

How can I enable adb in twrp recovery if it is not enabled by editing twrp settings file or some other way. Then, I would install supersu zip via adb in recovery to root it.

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Desmanto:
Hi,

As from my check in 247 version ROM, the build.prop already has the line persist.camera.hal3.enabled=0.

If you have rooted, you only need to change the 0 to 1 >> persist.camera.hal3.enabled=1

Or if you don't want to modify the build.prop, you can just create the value at the /data partition using terminal emulator (with root access), this leaves the /system intact.

su
setprop persist.camera.HAL3.enabled 1

The downside is everytime you factory reset, you have to set the value again.

[MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION]

I'm sure you've read the google+ message or the post on the front page in regards to Chainfire stopping development on all current root-related apps. This includes thus SuperSU (which was sold to CCMT a long time ago and they did absolutely nothing with) and FlashFire (which i use to flash an OTA and keep root intact.

Now with that in mind, magisk is pretty much the only root solution now and i'm starting to look into it. I've already installed the manager and will flash the stock rom at a later point. First a question.

What would be the proper way to flash an OTA (on my 6P, for as long as it will get them) and keep magisk root intact? (i know my way around ADB a bit and twrp, usually i ADB BOOT the latter, not install it). Has anyone tried the latest magisk with flashfire on a 6?

I'll appreciate your input.

Regards,

Ch3vr0n
[Magisk] niko26:
I'm also interested in getting OTAs installed while preserving root and magisk, on my Pixel XL. I can't get it working properly using the suggested method from [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION]

[Magisk] niko26:
I did already.

I just showed that I am interested in a proper solution as well. I have not asked specifically about my issue, but wanted to tell you that the "official" way (which is well documented) doesn't work for some users (it's not only me).
[Magisk] Ch3vr0n:
yeah but you have a completely different device. So what's not working for you, isn't even relevant in case. Thanks for the interest though :)
[Magisk] Ch3vr0n:
and a quick bump.
[Magisk] GSDer:
Hopefully you're aware that you can no longer even purchase FlashFire on the Google Play Store, so it's not a solution going forward...
[Magisk] Ch3vr0n:
Who said that was a problem. I've been using pro since day 1. Pro users don't have the time issue and it works just fine.

[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
OTA installation tips (from the official Magisk docs):

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md#ota-installation-tips

I know that A/B device users have been reporting negative results with the documented method, but fortunately it's not applicable in this case.

Have seen a bunch of reports of Flashfire not working properly with later release of Magisk, but can't confirm since I've never used it.

That leaves the last described method. Should always work, but by then I usually feel it's a lot easier to just use fastboot to flash the latest factory image...
[Magisk] hyborian:
I have some phones with Magisk, and are not A/B devices. Magisk gets lost after the OTA, I just reflash it, reinstall the 4 Magisk modules I use, and open each app that requires root so I can grant root access to them again. Of course, add to Hide the banking and other apps that need it. Not too much trouble for me, even if I usually receive weekly OTAs. Wish I could save the Superuser and module settings of Magisk before flashing, then I can just restore it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] lobr1:
Has anyone found a way to access Google Assistant from screen off?

My 'unlock from any screen' option in the Google app won't even turn on anymore (it used to). Even when it did work, unlock by voice match didn't.

I think ideally I'd like to be able to access the Assistant via holding down the vol down button, which current can be used to access Huawei's own voice service that lets you say a contact's name to call them. Useful, but Google Assistant would be better.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] kidhudi:
just what the title says. they have a buy 1 get 1 free deal going on was wondering if it is worth it. it also comes with google home and chromecast. i would probably sell those on ebay though.

currently i have a nexus 6 and am running 8.1. i wouldnt mind updating but what good is the phone if the bootloader is locked.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] parakleet:
Asked and answered a gabillion times.

No

Get it from verizon and delete your bookmarks to XDA.

Ok. Sorry for asking :(

Thanks for the input
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] galaxys:
Get it from Google if you can. :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
Getting a VZW locked device, maybe not worth it if you are dead set on flashing custom stuff.

Getting TWO 2 XLs (selling one for $300-400) probably worth it unless you're dead set on flashing custom stuff.

Google offers the same financing that VZW has (24mo 0% interest) and for roughly the same monthly $$$ you'd pay at VZW, you get an unlocked 2 XL!

If you get the Google unlocked version, which can be used on Verizon's network; it's ABSOLUTELY worth it.

I took the Verizon sim card from my unlocked 6P and dropped it in my unlocked 2 XL, no issues!

The 2 XL was a great device before I rooted, flashed a cust kernel, and cust rom on it, and it's just that much better now that I'm running all the custom stuff.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] parakleet:
Dont be sorry for asking.

That wasnt my intent.

I was trying to emphasize the futility of the verizon phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] kidhudi:
Yeah. I want to switch from VZW. I would have had the phone in my hand by now if it wasn't for the locked bootloader. I am just looking to the future. I have my Nexus

6 obviously unlocked running Android Oreo. With a locked bootloader once the official OTAs are done. Then your screwed. From Google play store the deal isn't as good. Sucks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Intelli69:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
You are likely to receive many inquiries as to how you unlocked the Verizon version. So be ready! :cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] uicnren:
its still a great device with a locked bootloader.

You're asking the wrong questions however.

If you dont have any intentions of rooting/custom ROM'ing or things of the like, there is no reason not to buy it from Verizon.

If you plan to, or even think you might want to do something custom with the device, then it would be better to buy from Google.

An unlockable bootloader for most people is irrelevant. Tech minded people (like those here on XDA) place a premium on it.

Whether or no it is 'worth' anything is only something you can answer.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] kidhudi:
thanks for the feedback. an unlocked bootloader is a pretty big deal for me. i missed the 2 for 1 deal and ended up getting the google version. probably better off that way i dont want to be married to verizon for another 2 years

How would you feel if you were the owner of the insurance company that replaced the device that was damaged prior to being covered.

That is also the answer to your original question.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
I imagine this is a Verizon network compatible "unlocked" Google device.

Not a device purchased through a VZW store.

If it was the latter, there would be a million new posts on the unlocked VZW thread, which there are not.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] LlamaApples:
There is a lot of misinformation going on here. I sell Verizon and AT&T phones. Yes, it is absolutely true that the second the phone turns on for the first time and runs through that activation process the bootloader gets locked. I just grabbed another Pixel 2 XL for an insane amount of money, because the deal going on currently in certain stores (not "Verizon" stores), the phone is like 60% off. $900 -> $462 over 24 months. No, not a scam, sold dozens like this.

I have this one, sim out before the phone was even turned on and I am working on it right now to see if I can unlock the boot loader. That's step one, and I will report back.

In terms of Verizon bills, yes, read the fine print. As someone who prides them self on telling the customer EVERYTHING to expect with your first bill, there should be zero surprises. If there is, they did it wrong and that clerk or store is scummy as hell. For the more tech savvy guys, I told them about the inability to root it, and one guy specifically asked me if he could set it up on his own at home. If they ask me not to turn on the phone and not activate it, I won't. The normal procedure is to activate and test the phone, but if they ask then we won't.

Now, is it worth it if you can get the phone for such a good deal? Yes. I'm also getting YouTube Red for 3 months (Or YouTube TV I can't remember), as well as the Chrome Cast and other devices. So, 60% off, and 3 free things, not too bad. In my case, I also get a dealer discount, which is an extra bonus off my bill. I don't work for any specific carrier, but these have been my findings. My first one, I didn't do this process with and activated it with the sim inside. The second line now, and will report back.

Edit: Oh, and getting approved for a Verizon credit check is stupidly easy. Both AT&T and Verizon are basically checking to make sure you're real, and that you don't owe them any money. That's what it has been reduced to at this point. There are also no contracts, ever, anymore. The only "contract", is that you promise to pay the phone off in 24 months, but you can pay it off early and there are no fee's to pay it off early or terminate service early (unless you owe on the phone). It's also a light credit check that does not impact credit history.

Edit 2: And the unlock potential was dubious on my end. I was hopeful, but as far as I can tell it still will not go. The phone is not active, and never connected to the internet on my end. doing either fastboot flashing unlock or fastboot flashing unlock_critical, return

...
FAILED (remote: Flashing Unlock is not allowed
)
finished. total time: 0.002s

Edit 3: Curious note: this phone is on a later release of Android. The one I originally got, we theorize was sitting around for a while, as this one was new stock. Mine was 8.0.0 and I read that there was some good news there. Here, I think they had gotten wise and made sure to update and make sure it came pre-locked.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] djmouse:
You need to connect just without the Sim (mobile data) then check developer options with wifi for oem unlock.if not I have a feeling if you factory reset with Sim card out,fastboot flash boot.img from the latest build on Google's site or adb sideload it make sure there's no pins or fingerprints on either way it may work.you should in theory besble to flash a firmware from Google that is got the unlocked phones ,the only way it knows it's verizion is from the Sim I think.i know if you buy a unlocked iPhone from Best buy and put an att Sim in it Sim locks you to them only att though and only on carrier unlocked iPhone.I need a reason to factory reset to try this.i also ran fastboot flashing unlock,oem unlock ,unlock_critical and failed ,but my bootlaoder said secure lock on,and locked status yes ,because I had fingerprint and oem is greyed out,so first thing is getting that oem unlock to be acrsdable.

Flash stock image and stock recovery (and wipe cache). Then after if it will boot into OOS recovery just click "reboot now".
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] lyrebird:
Were you able to get into twrp? The password is usually the one you set up for your login to andriod system.

If you can get in, then no need worry. i had exact experience last week. Just remember to clear both cache, system, and data. Just keep internal storage intact. Then try to flash stock rom without rooting.

See if you can get it.

The cause of having this issue may due to flashing rom without uninstallng magisk first.

Good luck.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] stellarroar:
Stock image is the stock OOS rom right?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] stellarroar:
The twrp password is known only to god because I've tried every pin/password I have ever used on all roms I've tried so far but none of them work. Which is why I can't flash any rom as my storage is encrypted. Most of the times I have a pattern lock set but that can't be mapped to a password can it?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] stellarroar:
I decided to start from scratch and installed stock recovery and then adb sideloaded first the stock Nougat OOS and then later 5.1.1 stock OOS, but both times in vain. Both times the phone gets stuck on the startup setup saying "just a sec", endlessly. On the very first activity it shows a message, that disappears in a few seconds, saying "Disabled or missing download manager. Can't download voice pack". How can I fix this? Help please.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] blas4me:
I would fully wipe, then format, but make sure you have the contents from your storage backed up externally. This is the only way to insure there's nothing left over from previous flashes. And then sideload 5.1.1-full update, you should be good from there. I had the same issue after flashing a OOS custom build.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] stellarroar:
Formatting everything did the trick. I thought sideloading OOS would implicitly do that but I was wrong. Thanks a lot man! Now is there any way I can keep my device unencrypted going ahead? I don't want Twrp to ask me for a password when I'm booting it.

Details about screen and for context

The the last screenshot of notification panel is on dark mode, the panel should be black but its brown/grayish.

The 2nd one shows the black color (just for comparison)

I replaced screen from a 3rd party. The service is legit.

First thing i noticed is that , the screen calibration has been stuck on which seems like default color profile. There is no visible change when i switch between sRGB , Soft and Default. Custom does work as intended (add blues and yellow when i move slider).

I contacted the service i used and they have been very vocal. They have no idea what it is. I'm guessing something with color profiles issues. Hoping you would help me solve this mystery. Also any idea to get the screen calibration unstuck on a single profile. Thank you.

Will update post with more info if asked.
