[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] liquidsilver:
From my personal experience, testing, and reading on these forums, it appears that there are three conditions that need to be satisfied for reliable use of the USB port:

First - The Mechanical Fit

Standard mini-USB connecters DO NOT fit the same as the HTC extended USB implementation. To address this, I use the HTC signal splitter (headphone+charger/sync) on almost all standard USB cables for chargeing. It's fully compliant with the HTC in all ways and has added benefits. (see below)

Second - Pinout

The charging circuit in the Tilt (and others) can be finicky with regard to whether or not it works using a standard USB cable. The HTC splitter solves that and allows slow charging from virtually any USB compliant source. I also have the adapter from http://www.pocketpctechs.com/ in my car that even allows you to select the fast charge or slow charge pinout via a switch. (VERY COOL) This works great because I'm usually looking for the fast charge in the car. (Note... fast charge is disabled when transferring data via USB)

Third - Electrical Spec

Voltage is 5V for all USB outputs. Spikes generated in a car are pretty tough to transmit past the step down circuit/ic in the auto USB power adapters. I have never heard of a device being damaged by a spike from the car via one of these adapters. The chip itself would fail to open before frying the USB power client (aka the Phone).

Current draw for these phones is 0.5A for slow charging and around 1A+ for fast charging. This is determined by the pinout of the cable you are using. Slow charge is the default on all data type cables. Some cables sold as "charging cables" enable the fast charge. (The PPC Techs cable has the switch to do this) I recommend using at least 750mA chargers to allow the phone to have enough current to run the gps, bluetooth, etc with the screen brightness turned up and still have a small excess trickle to charge the battery.

I hope this summary helps a bit.

Cheers!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Scott_F:
Thanks! I'll start putting the splitter in my briefcase. Thanks for the info. It makes sense. I'll have to see if I can still charge with normal usb by using the splitter or if I've fried that possibility.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] evilc:
Nice post, thanks. I didn't know there was such a thing as a fast and slow charge cable, I was under the impression that USB was USB, so to speak. This could explain a bunch...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] johnny13oi:
The reason you don't leave it connected when starting to the car, is not because the power cuts off when starting it but it is because immediately after the car starts, there can be a large surge of power due to the alternator in the car initially starting. Once the car is started the voltage is kept more or less the same. When the car is running, there is typically a higher voltage running through the car than when it is off. I believe the voltage is closer to 14V when running and about 12V when not. To keep things short, yes it is a smart idea to not plug in the phone to charge until after the car has been started. I have also opened up a few of these car chargers and ones with USB ports in them and have found that they sustain 5V even with much more than 12V applied to them. I cannot say that they all are the same but I think most are like that. I checked the specs for a few of the chips and the majority of them are specced to take about 40V max. They use a sense resistor to determine the voltage to regulate at, 5V. But to be on the safe side, just plug it in after the car has started. Charging the phone when the car is not running should also be fine.

An easy way to test whether the USB cables provided with the phones are different than the generic ones are to take a multimeter and see if any of the contacts are modified or have anything in between them. If they all measure 0 ohms or so pin to pin (from one end to the other) that means they are just a straight wire and are no different than regular mini usb cables. I hear that to enable fast charging, two pins must be connected together to trigger the fast charge mode on the phone. (I think the Tx and Rx are joined) I would check first though.

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] sanders858:
I've had the U11 for several months and everything is and has been great with it. Today, however, several things just stopped working. I first noticed the fingerprint scanner not working, then I noticed that the power button doesn't turn the screen off. The power button works, I can hold it down and the power menu appears.

I adjusted the screen timeout to 15 seconds and rather than the screen shutting off, it merely dims as though I've turned the brightness all the way down.

The phone is completely stock, but I did unlock OEM Bootloader in developer options.

I went into recovery and wiped the cache to no change. The screen won't shut off and the fingerprint scanner does not register anything. Everything else on the phone appears to work fine. Has anyone else had this issue?

Hi.

I have Magisk Manager installed and tried to upgrade from OOS 5.1.8 to 5.1.9 (full OTA update). I don't have TWRP.

I've reinstalled Magisk before the needed restart as described in https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-magisk-root-oos-5-1-5-t3794440 (worked previously),

buy I've lost root on my phone.

What's the best way to get it back?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iElvis:
Sometimes Magisk gets borked, and nothing but a full wipe will fix it. Has happened to me a couple of times.

Did u use "install to 2nd slot" or "patch boot image"?

BTW if u want to keep stock recovery, u can boot to TWRP and flash whatever u want.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] old_fart:
Tell us if you're using Magisk stable ( 16.0 ) or beta ( 16.7 ). I went to beat a couple steps back with no problems. ( knock on wood ) But I've read some run into trouble with 16.7
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] kebq:
I had Magisk 16.7 before the OTA upgrade, but now it looks like I'm on 16.0?

Also, after trying to reinstall Magisk I don't get the Install to second slot option, just the 2 options: download zip and boot image patch

any tips?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] old_fart:
.

first tip - have a good reliable backup.

next tip - grab the beta and install it. . . if you can't find the 16.7 then use the 16.4 . because it'll update itself when you go into the app and run it . . . and good luck !
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Paz9:
make sure in magisk manager you go to settings and select the beta channel and not the stable otherwise if you update via magisk manager youll go back to 16.0

if magisk is broken install the magisk uninstallater twrp, then flash boot.img, then go back to twrp and flash magisk - no need to flash ROM again.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Mike02z:
I have been running with Nolimit ROM since early on. On Sunday I decided to try Franken. All seemed to go well with the flash but the phone would boot into the red screen. I shut it off and it refused to turn back on. I let it charge overnight and tried to turn it on the next morning. Nada. I did notice that it was showing a device under ports. After doing some searching, I found the tool that OnePlus uses to recover from the hard brick. Installed using the tool and it completed successfully. Upon reboot it would just hang at the initial splash screen. Doing more research I found the Hydrogen OS recovery and tried that. Again, I see the H2OS splash screen but it never boots. I can get into Fastboot and Recovery and have tried clearing everything. Before I go back to the Oxygen OS, is there anything else I can do or is it RMA time?

BTW, the bootloader is now locked, a side effect from using the OnePlus recovery tool.

I almost forgot... because the OS won't boot, It won't allow OEM unlock. Trying to unlock the bootloader gives a failed for remote access.

Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iElvis:
You can't boot locked with a non-stock recovery. The bootloader won't allow it.

Maybe try running the unbrick tool again. Sorry, if you can get to recovery, you don't need the unbrick tool. You should be able to adb push the full OS to your phone and flash it in recovery.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Mike02z:
The stock recovery does not provide a way to flash. At least I don't see anything

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Blue305:
So, was thinking to give dp5 a try since I have a OnePlus 6 as a main phone now, and get the pixel with a fresh Android 9 flavour before putting it up for sale.

But, don't know why I thought it's a good idea to lock the bootloader first then get the OTA.

But since I was running nitrogenOS, after locking the bootloader, the phone won't boot, giving the "No valid os to boot" screen.

Stock recovery is inexistent as well, can only boot to fastboot but I've tried to boot/flash with no lock, it tells me it cannot be done on a locked state.

If anyone can help me saving the phone, I'd be really thankful, can even pay for a couple of beers too.

The phone was bought 2nd hand and I can't RMA it. Please let me know if there's anything else I could try to bring it back to life. Thank you everyone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
You should have returned to full stock before locking the bootloader my friend. You should be able to unlock it again, and then fastboot the factory image with the flash-all.bat script to get you up and running.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] CyberpodS2:
Agreed, as long as the OP did not also uncheck the oem switch...

Please, anyone reading this... Do Not RELOCK your boot loader unless you are 100% back to stock. Again, not stock... No RELOCK!!

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Which command did you use when you locked it?

You may want to look into Deuces recovery script as well to get you out of this pickle.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Blue305:
Thank you, but unfortunately I've ran the script but nothing happened, still cannot get it unlocked or boot to recovery :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Then possibly try different cables and USB ports. Again, which command(s) did you use to lock the bootloader???

Sometimes you have to run Deuces a few times to get it too work.

What specifically is the error you receive?

If you want help, you should provide as much detail as possible.

Have you tried recovery and sideloading a full OTA image? I know you said 'stock recovery is inexistent' what does that mean, you get the 'no command' screen with red triangle?

Also, when I try to boot in the recovery, Nothing happens, the device reboots, Showing me the normal screen "Can't find valid operating system, The device will not start".

I can only get to fastboot, I've tried "adb devices" while in fastboot but nothing is detected.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] uicnren:
adb commands will never work in bootloader.

try: fastboot devices

if the unlocking commands are denied, then it seems like OEM unlocking has defaulted to locked without there being a valid OS and/or no recovery.

if that is the case and you cannot unlock the bootloader, you wont be able to install an OS.

Also how are you trying to get to recovery, I will assume from the hardware buttons while in fastboot?

for fun (not that it should make a difference) try: fastboot reboot recovery

Also out of curiosity, what version of fastboot are you currently using?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Blue305:
YEs, the unlocking comands are denied.
