Yeah, so after the update, try to root, and when I flash TWRP and boot to recovery, TWRP is non-responsive on the touch screen. fastboot flash boot_a twrp11.img and fastboot flash boot_b twrp11.img then reboot to recovery...no touch screen use. So unable to root the phone and put a custom kernel on anymore unless I use the method from within the OS and patch on one partition etc..but that is a hassle obviously that way.

Not cool. Ideas?

tutorial for installing OTA with Magisk 17.0+ : https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkside1984:
At the moment I'm still with the latest version of Oreo. Is it worth going to Android P today? What's the improvement?

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] techlogik:
That link above doesn't apply or work. When you do the options with a new OTA, you can only install via patching an image file or Download the zip only. None of those options even exist. Also Flashfire only works if you are rooted.

Since the OTA basically already made the device unrooted...none of the above works.

Only option is TWRP, flash the boot.img, then Kernel and Magisk to install seemingly to get to the previously build features/options I had. I can run stock all day, defeats the purpose of XDA and the forum pretty much..LOL.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] kenbrownstone:
Looks like I'm screwed too..Of course essential won't help...
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] techlogik:
Well, I did a sideload again with the OTA file, and now my touchscreen is working again. Will see what happens next. TWRP is useless apparently now with this latest update.

On reditt I think I saw a fix for the nontouch screen issue
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ilikecl:
Tried using this guide, and am failing at the OTA install step. Getting a red "Installation Problem" on the OTA screen.

Any ideas?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] alphashine:
most likely system or vendor has been modified. I followed the guide and I was able to install OTA with Magisk and a few modules installed.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] batt105:
My phone did the exact same thing. Just found out, my phone used to be a sprint one. Trying to figure out what to do.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ilikecl:
I guessed it might be that, but I'm not sure what I have that would have modified /system or /vendor.

I only have these apps that have superuser: AdAway, Greenify, and Titanium Backup.

I did install a Magisk module for Greenify that gave it privileged access, so I deleted that Magisk module and uninstalled Greenify.

I then reverted the hosts files in AdAway.

Still getting the red 'Installation Problem' error.

Any other ideas? How can I get logs to see where the OTA update is failing?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] yaral:
I have the same message so i juste sideload the OTA and everything works great
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ilikecl:
Got some quick instructions to help out? :D
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] yaral:
Just download the OTA update.zip on essential.com,reboot your phone into recovery and type "adb sideload name of the file.zip"
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ilikecl:
Sounds easy enough. Don't need to make any changes to Magisk? Or do I have to re-do Magisk after the sideload?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] yaral:
Just need to fastboot your stock boot.img before do this
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] galakanokis:
If you are currently rooted the easiest thing to do is download the ota from Essential to PC and read up on their instructions for ota sideload. Next, grab the boot img (from this thread) and patch it using magisk. Move the patched img to your PC for flashing in fastboot after ota sideload. After all that I just ota sideloaded the update, booted to bootloader and flashed the patched boot img. Rebooted to a rooted update. Really cannot get any easier than that.

If not currently rooted I am not sure what steps you would take as I am not 100% sure if you can patch a boot img with magisk if not rooted.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_head:
If you are rooted, the easiest thing is to download the flash image from Essential and refresh and reroot.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] NLBeev:
Yes with magisk manager you can create a patched_boot.img. You need to extract the newest stock boot.img from September 2018 Release Android 9 Pie, Release 2 - PPR1.180905.036
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] galakanokis:
Um...OK.

Is that not pretty much what I said? Unless there is a massive difference between what I assume you mean is the fastboot images and the ota zip? I see no real difference and since you need to reboot being in recovery vs fastboot doesn't really matter. Flash one in fastboot or the other in recovery, six of one half dozen of another. Point is it is pretty easy and no need to mess with TWRP especially now with people having difficulties.

I have been rooted for so long I didn't want to unroot just to test. Thanks for the info.

Hello!

So after installing September update my PH-1 will become SIM-locked (i have Sprint unlocked version)?

Does anybody have solution about that?

I'm getting a bit nervous. :confused:
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Waancho:
From Reddit r/essential:

"Hi Everyone at r/Essential we are aware of this situation. It is not a bug, but rather the SIM lock is being enforced correctly. All the devices seem to come from one or two re-sellers/scalpers who "unlocked" the devices illegitimately and then re-sold them. The update broke this exploit and the carrier lock is now being enforced. We recommend everyone affected file a dispute with the re-seller for selling them a device that was not properly unlocked from Sprint.

Unfortunately, Essential itself doesn't have any way of imposing or removing carrier locks from devices. Exacerbating the confusion is that Sprint customer support tells people that the device is unlocked. Our theory is either (1) the device was eligible for unlock, but the original owner did not follow through and unlock the device, or (2) Sprint support is seeing that the device was being used on another network and they assume that means it must be unlocked (but really, it's just due to the temporary exploit).

PS: If anyone has this issue and was the original purchaser from Sprint, it's likely that their previous attempt at unlocking just wasn't successful, and they should be able to request a new unlock code and get squared away. We've had 1 or 2 of those cases, and they are easily resolved"
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_head:
Go to this thread: https://xdaforums.com/essential-phone/how-to/discussion-brainstorm-sim-unlock-t3724135/page53

There is an unlock method that requires a downgrade but then unlock is permanent and you can the upgrade to the latest firmware.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] jon_ybanez:
would you be able to specify the method used in that thread?

I've been thru multiple pages of it & the few options I've tried don't seem to resolve

i'm really hoping to be able to use my phone again & not as an expensive iPod
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ilikecl:
Agreed that this was probably the easiest way for me, since the OTA on the phone was failing. Only thing I would add to these steps is right before rebooting to recovery for the OTA sideload, remember to revert your patched_boot.img to the stock boot.img. You can do this with Magisk Manager > Uninstall > Restore Stock Image.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] gorm:
https://www.reddit.com/r/essential/...th_touchscreen_not/?utm_source=reddit-android

The stock boot.img patch with magisk is available in this thread.

Just fastboot install after installing Sept. update.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] jon_ybanez:
Sept 2018 Pie & working T-Mobile for me

well, i'm happy to say, i'm on Sept 2018 (PPR1.180905.036) and i'm able to get my T-Mobile SIM to work again

below are the steps I performed

(DISCLAIMER: the below commands are from memory, you may need to confirm the correct verbiage if the commands do not take properly)

you'll need a few things:

- NMK24B (get fastboot version from https://www.essential.com/developer/current-builds)

- modem files (provided by ziddey - https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77532356&postcount=20)

- PPR1.180905.036 (OTA version, from same Essential Developer Overview site listed above)

- ADB/fastboot files for your OS (I use Minimal ADB from https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790)

- Android Debugging enabled

- a good quality USB3 cable that provides both data & power

steps:

- back up anything you feel is important & move off of your phone

- reboot to bootloader (either via ADB commands or via holding VolDown during power on)

- ensure your phone is recognized by running fastboot devices

- unpack the NMK24B zip file & place it in same folder as your ADB/fastboot files

- run flashall.bat (if on Windows, command varies for your desktop OS)

- wait

- place the modem files into your ADB/fastboot folder as well

- flash the modem files (fastboot flash modemst1 modemst1.img followed by fastboot flash modemst2 modemst2.img)

- if you receive a message stating unable to flash modem partitions, you may need to reflash NMK24B again. otherwise, the modem files will not take properly

- reboot to recovery

- to be safe, I performed a factory reset here, may not be necessary for your scenario

- place the OTA zip file into your ADB/fastboot directory

- select option to install via sideload

- install Sept 2018 Pie PPR1.180905.036 via adb sideload PH1-OTA-PPR1.180905.036.zip

- allow time to complete & boot

NOTE: during the entire process, I had removed my SIM & placed in a different device

after the long boot-up, I was greeted with the Android setup where I connected to my WiFi network

I chose to not copy any data & set up as new. I also let the phone sit charging & on wifi for ~30 mins

I powered off, inserted my SIM & found that it was no longer rejecting it. I also verified my APN settings were correct for T-Mobile. I received a few SMS messages during this period & felt confident service was working properly.

because I like a clean configuration, I went ahead & performed a factory reset from inside Android settings menu, rebooted & began setting up from a previous backup

thanks to everyone that was able to provide much needed help. I hope the rest of you are just as lucky with regaining service on your phone

didn't work for me. get a corrupt boot img message after booting
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] gorm:
Thats very strange. Worked perfectly for me?

I fastboot installed the august update, booted and setup phone, took the sept. update.

Booted back to fastboot installed the patched boot.img.

Rebooted phone and magisk manager was installed.

After about 6 hours of bootloops, no wifi, no touchscreen, corrupt image messages, and no idea what else, I finally got it rooted and back up and running. I would trade this idiotic a/b partition for twrp any day of the week. Seemless updates my ass...
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] TheBurgh:
This method worked like a charm. Thanks
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] NLBeev:
It's a good method but a PC is needed with a working adb/fastboot environment.

Since version 17 of Magisk it's possible:

A. to restore the stock boot image on the current slot, and to

B. to install Magisk on the inactive slot.

C. to let M boot from the updated slot, (instead of the OTA).

That makes it possible to use the OTA over radio, without a PC and keep root.

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] TheBurgh:
In my situation I got an error when trying to use the OTA over the phone so this worked flawless.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] NLBeev:
I've downloaded the official OTA to the phone and flashed with TWRP.

Root gone of course after reboot.

But with a PC with fastboot, I've flashed the all-in-one patched boot image of aer0zer0.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Thebear j koss:
Could have flashed the patched IMG in twrp as well to keep root and twrp without using a pc.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] NLBeev:
Nice. I was prepared to update with OTA over radio. Failed more times. Even after flashing stock boot and system on the active slot.

Here the all-in-one patched boot image with EX-Kernel 3.09. Only PH-1 with October 2018 update

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904019506
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkside1984:
What's the process to flash it?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] rignfool:
Make sure your on October release...

fastboot flash boot sillylongname.img

From the command prompt of any computer with Essential drivers installed

You can't take an OTA after this... But you can download the OTA as a zip and flash it with TWRP... Which this already has...

Just grab the official zip to flash after the OTA zip you download next month and flash it after the update
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkside1984:
Thanks! Any way to root and keep receiving OTA updates?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] rignfool:
Probably... But it's too much hassle...

Just download the whole OTA from the website... It's about 1gb and happens once a month...
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] NLBeev:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md

I've tried this but OTA over radio will start the install process but ended with error and failed.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Darkside1984:
Is Magisk compatible with EX Kernel?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] NLBeev:
Depends. When the versions match. Magisk 17.x works with the stock kernel of October and also with EX kernel 309.

Hello,

I am currently using a Samsung S4 (sprint network : using Ting; jfltespr) and I have been happily running Cyanogenmod 13.0 (20161218).

I dont tinker; I set it and forget it... once stable nor do I actively follow the tech as I end up longing for an upgrade.

Sadly there is no native support for LineageOS for my variant s4,

I would love to get the latest on the device and not have to spend any money;

I despise all of the funk on new phones and desire to keep it honed down, thus my desire to stick with LineageOS; (that is unless there is something better.... is there?)

I have also purchased a ouraring.com - but have some 2 months prior to receipt. The only reason I really couldn't use it as I am lacking android v7 on my S4 (already has requirement of bluetooth 4 Low energy requirement.

so I have 2 options: new phone or update s4 somehow

if someone has a suggestion for either I would be grateful.

I have started the painful task of spec diving, trying to optimize in the hopes that it will last a long time and be able to have a long support life under LineageOS.

Kinda narrowed down to Samsung S8 or Motorola X2 Play.

I look toward any feedback.

Best regards and Thanks for your time.

Hello guys,

I am an Yota 3 user.

I just got the phone and am very disappointed that there is no Camera2 API support in this phone.

I know this phone has very great camera sensor on the back, yet has very poor quality camera app.

With Camera2 API, we can use the greatest Google Camera app to take a picture and even get RAW files.

That would be a tremendous software upgrade.

Is there any developer who would implement the API?

If there is none, please, would anyone who knows implementation of the API give me a clue to implement the API to the phone?

I would like to try the implementation myself.

Thank you.
[YotaPhone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vevgeniev:
Try adding "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1" to your build.prop file:

Temporarily boot into recovery

fastboot boot recovery.img

Mount system and then using adb, pull the build.prop file

adb pull /system/build.prop <path to save file>

Edit the file you just extracted and save it. Push it back to your phone via adb

adb push <path to your file> /system/build.prop

Set permissions:

adb shell
chmod 644 /system/build.prop
[YotaPhone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bambi007:
I tried that by directly editing build.prop (rooted).

But I see no difference. And open camera still does not work (even when you change the settings to use the camera api).

Did anyone successfully activate this with his yota3+ ?

what is overclocking?? do I NEED to do it??

what is the easiest (or has the easiest UI) reg editor??

are their any extra programs i might need to flash a rom on my phone??

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] Kimkee:
Hello, I'm currently on my 3rd Whitestone Dome glass but have experienced some form of lifting of the glass on the right side of the protector. I've heard it may be from a lack of curing from the glue but I've shown the UV light on the device extra long during the application process, so I'm not sure if that's the case. Has anybody else had some experiences like this, and is this issue fixable? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] Tikerz:
You could just take it off, remove the glue from the protector and install it again if you have extra loca glue.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] Kimkee:
I've done that, but the lifting issue comes up again.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] Kimkee:
I actually do not have a case on my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] bkeaver:
the upper left corner of mine is lifting up as well. No case either... just a skin
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] jawsm:
I've had the same on 3 freshly applied screenprotectors. Despite extra curing the screenprotectors after applying, the screenprotector starts to lift within a week on at least 2 corners. And i do not use a case. Under the lifted corners there seems to be a liquid substance underneath as if the glue wasn't cured enough. As told earlier i applied extra curing and it seemed that the glue had become solid. What could be the cause here?

I've given up on screen protectors...just not worth time effort and $$ spent.

Thanks. :)
[Samsung Gear S3] dcwiker05:
Had if with an S8 then got a pixel 2xl and it works 99% the same way. I had to turn off phone calls on it though (a feature I rarely used) because stock Android saw it as just another Bluetooth, so it would route all calls to it even when I answered/started the call on the phone. When I had my s8 it was smart enough to know if I answered or started the call on my phone, I didn't want audio sent to my watch. But texts and notifications all work the same.
[Samsung Gear S3] p51d007:
I don't use the pay part, but, I've used the Gear S3 Frontier on my Mate 9, and my newer Essential PH-1 and no real issues.

It does have a quarkie issue that if I have my BT headseat on, and the watch connected, (with the essential on Pie),

I get the notification sounds/lights on the watch but not the phone or the BT headset, which doesn't do it, on the

Mate 9, which is still on Oreo. I've heard it is a Pie thing.

Now my Essential today (4 September) just received the September security patch/updates but I haven't checked

to see if that issue is fixed because I'm still on "vacation" and don't have any "borg implant" stuck in my ear.
