[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] luigigigi:
Hello everybody, hope u doing fine.

i was looking to root my pixel, so i installed kingroot and it rooted it just fine, then i wanted a root manager so i went to play store installed supersu (i guess that was the cause, i shouldn't have done that),then i opened it, it asked to download binaries(or install i'm not quite sure...), anyway this went fine too, then it sayed, everything gone right, restart your device, i clicked in reboot, it restarts with google logo and animations, but it bassicaly wont boot it is just stuck at the dots animation.

the problem is that i left oem bootloader locked, so now i can't do anything via fastboot adb... when i do: fastboot oem unlock , it says: failed (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)

i searched a bit more and found that we can unbrick qualcomm powered devices with qfil flashing tool, but requires a firmware wich is in .mbn format, wich i don't find on the internet (at least for the pixel), maybe there's a custom rom in mbn format...

i'm on android 7.1.2, stock rom, unlocked version.

please tell me if there's a way to fix that,

thank you in advance ? !
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Arju:
Did you try turning the phone off and then using the power-on + volume down key to get to the bootloader menu? from there press the volume up key until you get to recovery and the press the power button. In recovery do a factory reset. That should take care of stuff. In future, don't use kingroot as it's a malware ridden app (that is if you care about your personal data). If you need root then use Magisk instead. Gives you root and also a root manager. If you are planning to tamper with root then make sure to have your bootloader unlocked. Let me know if factory reset worked.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] luigigigi:
yes i tried to factory reset it from recovery mode ( i did that twice :p ) and that didn't help.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Arju:
I have one more idea you could try. Download latest OTA update from here: https://developers.google.com/android/ota

go into recovery and follow the instructions given on the link I just gave you and apply the update using adb sideload in recovery. (You have to manually get into recovery as you did before but follow the instructions from the point where you're inside the recovery.) This should work. Seems that kingroot/supersu corrupted your system somehow. Let me know if it worked.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] luigigigi:
i already came across that site because i was on android p, i didn't like it so i went back to nougat...anyway to say that i have the nougat image .zip , so do i have to download the latest firmware ?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] luigigigi:
ok ok, that's not the same...SORRY ?? !!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Arju:
yeah, it's not the same and you'll find the 8.1.0 update there and the updates from the past. Give it a go and tell me the results when you're done ;)
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] luigigigi:
i tried that, everything went as intended, when i power it up there's animations of 8.1 but still wont boot.

i tried to wipe data and boot again, nothing.

is there a way to flash stock rom with adb (just like we did with that update) ?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] luigigigi:
now, the phone just booted up and i'm on the set up screen, BUT it showed me a pixel 2 , and theres a lock at the top left corner and it asked for a pattern (cause i did a wipe)... it's like another phone stuck in mine :o ?!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Arju:

It's the newer setup screen. Have you managed to boot into system. Is everything working?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] luigigigi:
no since i did a wipe ( i guess i shouldn't have done that) , now when it boots it is locked, it is asking for a pattern, wjch i don't know because i didn't set a pettern previously.

i guess i'm stuck here for ever ? ??
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] luigigigi:
is there a way to flash the stock firmware via stock recovery or external flashing tools on pc, if yes please explain how !
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] luigigigi:
((((Update))))

I didn't notice that there was a connect to Google option, so I finally set up the phone with my Google account and I'm back in.

I'm very thankful to you man you saved my phone, thank you a lot.

(Are you from India ? ? I love a lot India it's a beautiful place to visit and I really hope I could travel there once in my life, greatings from Algeria ?? )
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Arju:
I'm glad it worked itself out.

I'm from Norway. Married a swede so living in Sweden now. My parents are from Sri Lanka (the island below India) but moved to Norway before I was born. I've been to Sri Lanka once. Would like to travel to India sometime too :silly:

Algeria seems nice. Must be hot there. I've never been to Africa. Would like to travel there too some day :)
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] luigigigi:
Yes totally, Algeria is really safe and people here won't bother you (like if you're wondering how u would be seen or received as a foreigner) there's foreigner all year round but especially in summer time, just have something planned in advance because it's Algeria not USA or another well developed country ? but still there's a lot to see here, definitely worth the visit.

When it comes to whether, well it's a Mediterranean weather so expect nice warm days, that being said, there's some time when it goes rainy with thunders and cold, for example now it is very pleasant outside, but yesterday the weather gone crazy... I guess that's because of the global warming.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] MpandAUS:
1) Install the Google Android driver if your Pixel isn't already recognized by your computer when booted to fastboot mode.

https://developer.android.com/studio....html#download

2) Download the factory system image for Pixel to C:/Google

https://developers.google.com/android/images

3) Unzip the system image folder into same folder, same with adb/fastboot tools in C:/Google

4) Run these commands in cmd prompt as administrator while Pixel is in bootloader mode

adb reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-sailfish-*.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio-sailfish-*.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash boot_a boot.img

fastboot flash boot_b boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash system_b system_other.img

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

fastboot flash modem modem.img

fastboot reboot

hope this helps :)

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] juanjosedag:
Hello, I just got my S9+ (less than a week ago) and I discovered after 4 days of use, a very strange mark on the screen that has no depth.

[IMG="Smudge"]https://i.imgur.com/URxjVN3.jpg[/IMG]

It's very noticeable when I try to clean the phone with a bit of water. The droplets pattern changes:

I haven't exposed the phone to any miss-use and I'm baffled by this, is hard to see when the screen is on but it's forever in my mind now.

Could this be the oleophobic coating or am I looking at something else?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] arnes_king:
Do you see the line when the display is turned on? Try to dial *#0*# and test the display. It seems like the oleophobic coating, because of the water, but I never seen something like that before.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] juanjosedag:
It's very hard to notice when the screen is on in most conditions. I'm returning this phone and hopefully it will pass Amazon quality checks, wish me luck.

In all 10 years of having smartphones, I never had a phone with this kind of flaw.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] MISHYBULU:
Hello I am having the same reaction on my phone. Did you find out what it was?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] jackslee21:
Same issue here

Only visible with screen off in direct sunlight or water is on the phone
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] juanjosedag:
I returned the device with an attached letter to it where it stated what was the problem.

I got the return, no questions asked. I would recommend reaching Samsung or your retailer to get this fixed or another device. If asked, just explain that the scratch has no depth, so it couldn't have been your keys or something in your pocket, also stress your phone is new.

Similar issues were reported for the Galaxy note 8 and I found a YouTube video with an S9 and a similar problem.

[YOUTUBE]https://youtu.be/qtDf53wcgmc[/YOUTUBE]

If you don't return the device, I would expect the problem to get worse.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] Craz Basics:
Hey guys, so just got this laptop (ASUS VivoBook-M580VD-EB76) boasting a i7-7700HQ, 16GB DDR4 memory, and a GTX 1050 (4GB, not ti) and I'm playing Fortnite (Obviosly xD) and I'm pretty sure I should get more than 45 frames on Epic. A buddy of mine gets 120 frames, and my PC is quite a bit better than his. So is this not what I should be getting or am I just crazy??

So, hoping for some solutions :)

Thanks!

Edit 1: Some things I've tried are 1.) Updating BIOS 2.) Changing the following in Nvidia Control Panel

a.) Power Management Mode - Prefer Maximum Performance

2.) Vertical sync - Off

Currently I'm using tomtom 6, which I believe to be the best gps program around. However, the old maps are starting to annoy me and I have found a few big problems with them already. The new maps only work on tomtom 7, which has no pda version. With a search of all foruns, I found a post from two montsh ago (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1855454&postcount=3) where it says tomtom 7 will be released for sure for pda's. I really can't find any more information about this, can someone please confirm that tomtom will be released soon and I don't have to look around for other solutions?
[General Topics] philocritus:
As far as I know tomtom 7 wont be released for pda.

I have tomtom 7 on a pna and tomtom 6 on pda and believe me... the old navteq maps beat the living ***t out of the new teleatlas maps...

teleatlas maps are fine on big cities but when you go the small areas... street names are all switched, roundabouts where there are none...

it's just sad to see tomtom selling such piece of c**p maps when other pna/pda gps software is using navteq oldies that are far better...

what is a PNA ? im after tomtom 7 for my mates symbian 60 S3 phone, but cant even find it on the tomtom website

A PNA (Personal Navigation Assistant) is a dedicated navigation device. So it will not run WM (maybe at its base) but it's designed only to help navigate.

Almost sure they don't release tomtom 7 for pda as they now have navcore 8 for pna. So if a new version is available it will most likely tomtom navigator 8 for pda.

Version upgrades for Tomtom :=)

I believe the new version for PDA.s will be with us before X-Mas (in 3-4 month)

All those people who buy a dedicated device; have already. As tomtom has released

version 8 for their map-share and other technologies they need also need the feedback from the PDA guys and as HTC is rolling out so many new models they will possibly only release a version which runs on wm 6.1

i spoke to tech guy and he said something will be out in 3 month but we wait and see.

if anybody buys a htc diamond or new x75xx with mobile 6 (and the device has a gps ship )

please PM me as they normally ship tomtom tasters which might be the version 7 code..

otherwise I am running happy the tomtom v6.0xx with Windows Mobile 6.1 on a HTC 7500 and on a Kaiser which also has the ALK Product which ships from O2

[Moto Z Questions & Answers] GeekyTanuj:
I recently am getting a deal on purchasing a moto z with the turbopower mod at just about 12000 rs. / 180 usd , should i buy it or not?

My queries usually whirl around these pointers....

1.how good is the battery life? (sot and standby) after the last oreo update.

2.is the snapdragon 820 so much powerful over the sd 625 of the moto z play to force me make difficult choice ,despite the loss of battery life?

3.shall the battery suffice for half a day if my usage covers up around the instagram,youtube,a little bit of photography and movies playback on it?

4.so even if the battery lasts for atleast a half working day,would the mod be able to top up my phone,just enough to suffice my same usage for the rest of the day so that i wont have the need of reaching the charger for 2nd time in that day.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] David1one:
If you have the Turbopower Mod it should definitely last you at least a day. Without I usually get around 3 hours of sot. Yes, the battery capacity is tiny, but the mod doubles it basically. Concerning the performance: I think it's more future proof to buy a device with a little bit more power. Also, if you suddenly do something a little more demanding, this should help too. Even though the CPU is two generations older, it's still a very capable performer. The deal you got is very tempting and affordable, but I don't know if you should take it.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] Jeik:
Snapdragon 820 walks over the SD625 when it comes to performance, and for that price, it's definitely worth it.

There are stronger phones of course, but at 180 $ nothing beats it. Heck, I can't think of a better phone for under 400$.

Hi everyone.

I had a working Lineage OS 14.1 installed on my yureka device.

I got the newer version TWRP and instead of going to install the latest update from COMMAND PROMPT , i used FLASFHFIRE and this corrupted my device.

My phone when switched OFF shows the battery indications of charging, when connected to charger.

But, doesn't start when switched ON and when connected to laptop, shows the YU logo and goes into FASTBOOT mode.

$ fastboot devices & $ fastboot -i 0x1ebf devices

detects the phone and gives this

But, any other FASTBOOT command to flash the boot or recovery fails with error , for the first run

Error 1 :

D:\RootingKit\platform-tools>fastboot flash boot 15_April_2018_Boot.img
target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes
sending 'boot' (20480 KB)...
FAILED (data write failure (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 5.001s

And successive runs shows a different error

Error 2:

D:\RootingKit\platform-tools>fastboot flash boot 15_April_2018_Boot.img
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'boot' (20480 KB)...
FAILED (command write failed (No error))
finished. total time: 0.000s

Now, when i remove the cable and connect it back then again the first error message is observed.

I have tried all cables from different phones, samsung xperia yureka and others and not able to flash. Also, i have tried on different USB ports of my laptop and no SUCCESS.

Please help me out here.

Similar Issue

I too am facing a similar issue though the touch screen works fine. But the alphabets are left out when I type fast on any keyboard. Since I got the device 2 months ago I have been facing a severe and weird issue, I don't understand if the problem is with the display or something else, what I found is when I type something in WhatsApp or anywhere at the usual speed that we type, some alphabets needs to be pressed twice.

For example if I had to type a word "Motorola", it comes out like "Moorola". I have to cut and type again slowly and hardly. When I just type something like "Where are you going", its comes out to be "Whre are yo goig" or something like that.

I have even tried resetting the device, clearing data of keyboards and also using stock and 3rd party keyboards but the problem still persists.

Hi xda developers

I was using a guide from this forum to get root on a Z4 so that I could install custom ROMs: https://xdaforums.com/z5-compact/general/guide-how-to-root-z5c-painful-using-t3549388. I know it's a guide for a z5 compact (which is the device I ultimately hope to install a custom ROM on to). I was doing this as a dummy run to get myself familiar with the process on a device that isn't mission critical.

But when i reboot to recovery it keeps loading, like if it was a bootloop of TVE recovery... Idk what is happening, can someone help me?? Thanks!!
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo, hmm is TWRP app installed as a system app? TWRP is able to do that from within TWRP recovery. Installing it from the Play store does not install it as a system app.

I do always prefer to install TWRP updates manually but that's just personal preference.

If you can't boot to recovery? You may need to flash TWRP via bootloader and a PC using...

fastboot flash twrp-3.2.1-2-x2.img

Good luck!

Oh, if you're rooted? I think you can use flashify app via play store to flash TWRP image to recovery... But tbh haven't tried it like that in a while but I imagine it still can work like that.
