[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] knidsrok:
Has anyone tried straight-up asking to exchange a Verizon-locked device for the Google one?

I got my phone at Best Buy the first day it was available, before I'd seen it reported that Best Buy was selling the Verizon locked-bootloader version. Is there any way that Google would let me RMA my Best-Buy-bought phone in return for one of their own unlockable ones?

Does Google have any incentive to say "no, you have to return your phone to Best Buy, and then order a new one from us?"
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] masri1987:
LOL

Just got the RMA and got a verizon version. It's in the search string and OEM unlock is greyed out
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] GunToYoMouth123:
Quick question about RMA.

How does it work ?

I just recently got my Pixel 3 XL from Google, saved big time for this phone. (Never again through Verizon)

But I'm on at&t and had a Samsung S9+ financed. But gave back the phone.

So the main reason why I got it from Google obviously was to unlock bootloader.

Unfortunately, like most people recently, my OEM unlock is greyed out and wanted to RMA it.

I tried many methods, including wiping several times with and without att sim. And no luck.

So I was wondering, when doing an RMA, do I have to send the phone back first ? Or do they send me the replacement and then I send my old one back?

Because this is the only phone I have. And $1000 dollars dropped on the phone, can't afford a temp at the moment. ?

Thanks.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jaben2:
You will get an option to do a advanced replacement, or a standard one.

Advanced - they give you a link to "purchase" the same device you have now. They put a temporary authorization on your card. It drops off when you return your defective device.

Standard -you mail yours in, then they send you a replacement.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] masri1987:
Google got their device back, and refuses to RMA me another one because and i quote

"we don't know if we can send you out a unlocked bootloader 3XL"

I've spoken to about 4 different people and i have email correspondence with a "floor manager"

GUYS is there anyway i can reach US based customer support for hardware?

All these agents are outsourced and are too much by the book and don't actually practice customer service principles..

Update:

So freaking aggravated at this point.

5 calls since , 3 of them i was hung up on despite me not showing aggression and simply remaining persistent, and the other 2 i hung up on them because they started processing a refund on the RMA that was returned already ??? freaking idiots.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] masri1987:
Does anyone have a US contact with google?

Literally losing my marbles talking to these outsourced agents, who consider telling them that they 'suck' as offensive language.

They cannot even handle criticism about their performance and behavior, can't provide solutions to the customer, they aren't going above and beyond to rectify the problem at all
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] xxnoelziexx:
Anyone who has used the standard replacement for RMA.

How have the phones been delivered, brown box etc? Are they brand new devices or refubished? I have a carrier purchased phone in the UK who have no stock and they advised me to contact Google directly.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
So far I, and everyone I have seen has gotten brand new phones. I think it's too soon for them to have refurb stock. But I would think they will soon.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Xaikar:
My RMA was also new, head another power cable and everything in it. So I followed their RMA instructions and kept that stuff like it said.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] xxnoelziexx:
Xaikar did you do a standard exchange? If so what was the turn around. Mine will be dropped to a UPS drop off point tomorrow morning.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Xaikar:
No I put the stupid 1k on my credit card to get another one here faster so It was ordered on 15th at like 9am and got here on the 19th, and of course someone had to be there to sign. Luckily my mom watches my Son on Mondays anyways, so I convinced her to watch him at my place to sign for it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Paz9:
brand new - not refurb was boxed and all like i purchased from store.

i had a nasty scratch on my device @ arrival and got them to send out a new one and inspect the phone for flaws.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Shaftamle:
Lol, not only was there no deal, Verizon charges more die the phone then Google

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
There is now! 1/2 off for the Pixel 3 and $400 off for the 3XL. That's worth it. I think Google is only a couple of hundred dollars discount. So now we'll see the RMA train ramp up for another year. But it looks like all RMAs these days are bl locked.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Shaftamle:
Pixel XL is 200 off on the Google store. But 400 would be nice. I for 1 am APPALLED that Google let Verizon lock the bootloader. I hate Apple, but I'll give them 1 thing. They are the only company brave enough to tell Verizon to shove it! I don't see any Verizon logos it apps on any iphones.

Meanwhile, Google bends over on what is supposed to be a Dev phone. SMH.

Hi [MENTION=2694397]masri1987[/MENTION], I exactly get the same speck as you under the screen inside my front right lens. Did Google accept to RMA your phone for this problem?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] FernBch:
Did a little reading here. Returning a VZW phone in hopes of getting and unlockable phone is a waste of time. A couple of us have been looking into the VZW device and bootloader unlock. The device "phones home" during setup to ENABLE the unlock. Google ID's the IMEI to allow/disallow it.

Pixel 3 XL, haven't crashed it, YET
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] masri1987:
Yes.

Well I forced them to give me a new one with a lot of effort .

But they will gladly RMA it
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] stratdroid:
OK, thanks [MENTION=2694397]masri1987[/MENTION]. I'll try to call them to explain my situation. I think they need pictures to prove the defect.

Hello,

I'm looking for solution to root my G3121 48.1.A.2.50, I've tried many guides and methods but without success, everytime only thing I get is bootloop. What's important - I have unlocked bootloader by Sony site but without TA backup. Any ideas what should I do to obtain root?

P.S.

How to get backup of boot.img?
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] simply F:
Hi

Try to download magisk and write from ADB on PC inside the folder where you downloaded magisk (assuming that the zip name is "magisk.zip"):

adb sideload "magisk.zip"

Tell me if it works :highfive:

PS: after gaining root, use TWRP builder app to create a custom TWRP and than go to backup/Boot
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] Abbrams:
I guess that you didn't mean to do it in fastboot or something like that? Cause this method doesn't work for me

>adb devices

List of devices attached

* daemon not running. starting it now at tcp: 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

RQ3007GXJ6 device

>adb sideload Magisk.zip

opening 'Magisk.zip'...

connecting...

falling back to older sideload method...

error: closed

this is what I get from command window
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] simply F:
Hi

Try doing before "adb usb"

It should work!
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] Abbrams:
Still nothing, tried 3 times and reply from command window was the same "restarting in USB mode"

I really have no idea what is wrong with that phone, every boot.img I flash doesn't work, once TWRP was only working but when I wanted reboot to system, I got stuck on bootloop

Service Info says that Booloader is unlocked

Has anyone similar issue?

[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] simply F:
Try to install magisk doing what written here https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2272731 and booting up the phone long pressing up volume + power button(or if it doesn't work do the same steps booting phone with down volume + power button

Than just follow the steps I've written you on first post, to achieve TWRP and backup boot.

This WILL work :highfive:
[Sony Xperia XA1 Questions & Answers] Abbrams:
I can't use sideload because I don't have any recovery, so method is not usable for me. Tried to update adb files but the same effect. Any other ideas? I really need stock boot.img for G3121 with TWRP, that will not fall in bootloop.

(Treble Enabled) " but i cant find Twrp Exclusive for sagit, only mido. Also i tried to do it with regular twrp and redwolf but error 7 appears.. also, i tried to fix that error 7 by deleting some lines in "update-script" to avoid /vendor mount check, in POST-sGSI_1_v0.14 folder, but after installing and rebooting, device stucked to fastboot mode..

any ideas? :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RealAkito:
Hey, That is Treble Image (Generic System Image) which can almost boot on any device that got Android 8.1 and treble supported.

You can try it out by here!

https://xdaforums.com/project-treble/

And you don't need twrp for treble, You just need fastboot.

Always wipe Internal Storage ,Data, System, Cache,Dalvik before flashing treble image

You can flash it by

fastboot flash system file.img

or

TWRP

Install -> Select Image -> File.img -> System Image & then flash

[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] iArvee:
Older Sony Xperia phones had a feature where you can double tap to wake the screen. Since ambient display wasn't there, it just takes you to the lockscreen. Technically we have it, but you have to tap 4 times in order to get to it. (First double tap to wake ambient, then another to go to lockscreen). Also the Xperia home used to have a feature to sleep the phone. I'm not sure if that's still there. I use Nova launcher and can double tap to sleep anyway.

Hello Friends,

I have a weird observation on my oneplus 6 that the display gives a hollow feeling wjen typing or tapping on the bottom center portion of the display.

Eg..when tapping centre keys / buttons like fhjyrruthhdjjsj on regular keyboard gives a distict hollow sound or hollowness feeling on display compared to the upper or side part of the display.

I am not sure if its one off case or common to other one plus 6 devices due to its design and internal build..however I did not face such observations on any other mobile that I have used.

( Ps: i dont have haptic feedback or keypress sounds on

Also ..using default screen protector film that came with it)

Some feedback will be appreciated on this observation

Are you sure that you have an authentic OP6 as opposed to a cheap Chinese $100 knockoff? You can check to see if you have Snapdragon 845 and 8GB ram by using an app like CPU-Z.

Regardless, there's zero difference in tap feeling at the top and bottom of my unit. I even did a blind test by randomly rotating the phone to make sure that both sides are the same. This is the North American model A6003.

Hey, another possibility - your phone has a defect.
