Known bug in the current version. Only effects some people. The dev is working on it, he knows what the issue is and how to fix it

But first he has some school work that is due that he has to work on.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lollyjay:
On your phone, download and install Magisk Manager 6.0.1

Download patched boot image zip from here to your computer https://drive.google.com/file/d/17XC51gljCwWEl2uEHYZlXaXnfTsZE11W/view?usp=drivesdk

Unzip the file

In same directory where your patched_boot.img is located, type:

fastboot flash boot_a patched_boot.img {get confirmation)

fastboot flash boot_b patched_boot.img (get confirmation)

fastboot reboot

This has worked for many users
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ginfest:
Yes fastboot reboot

It boots to the white screen with the G twice

Third time it boots back to the bootloader

Enter reason: no valid slot to boot

Just repeated the process, same result!

Booted the patched boot image and rooted again. Why can't I flash it?

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] State.of.mind:
Isn't Fastboot mode the recovery mode? Are you placing your files to flash in the platform tools folder? You can always start from a clean slate by flashing the original images. Just transfer the files from the appropriate factory image to the platforms tool folder, open a command, and type flash-all

I've been trying each Canary build as they come out, thus far none of them have worked for .31, boot loop every time. It would appear as though .30 folks are having far less issues getting rooted. Anyone else sharing this observation?

I'm on a phone sent directly from Google that updated to the Verizon build. I've had 0 luck rooting, though unlocking the bootloader went easy as ever.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] yearn2burn:
Has nothing to do with Verizon build. As long as unlocked will work if you build a clean patched image. I'm on 31 and had no problems once I understood the Canary Channel thing. I can send anyone my patched 31 Verizon image.

There are links to the updated patched boot images in the OP.

What steps are you looking for? Since you're starting with an already-patched boot image, all you need to do is flash it and reboot. Forget the slots. Flash and reboot.

Then, make sure you're using the canary build and you'll be fine.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] toboggan:
I've flashed and reflashed and flashed pre-patched too, always ending in a bootloop. I've tried 17.3 and 17.4, neither got me past the bootloop. It's an extremely simple process, not sure why I can't seem to get it to function.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mslatter:
Quick hopefully easy question. Just received my new Pixel 3. Any restrictions in regards to rooting if I set it up as SIM Free? Would flashing any image write over where the SIM data is stored? Or should I just move my N6 SIM card over to the new phone and ignore SIM free setup? I'm on Google FI - but wouldn't think that would matter.

Thanks in advance.

Obviously you're bootloader is unlocked. Have you updated your platform tools? So, instead of using someone else's pre-patched boot.img, make one yourself. Sounds like you've tried, but let's try again. Can you post a picture of your magisk manager?

platform-tools_r28.0.1-windows is the version I'm using, downloaded a day or two ago. I've tried patching my own files, still the same resulting bootloop.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] toboggan:
Alright, so I did a bit more snooping and found that when I unlocked the bootloader it reset everything back to .30, it said there was an update, failed the update, remains at .30 and says the phone is up to date. Successfully rooted now, though the update has vanished. Thanks for your help! I am so very grateful.

SO I contacted bell to get it unlocked. so we went through all of that and they said it was unlocked. but i never got an unlock code. so i called back and they said the phone was unlocked already and they never had the unlock code anymore. but the phone is still asking for a unlock code. I called their specialist and they told me to contact motorola. i contacted motorola and waited a week for the same answer as before. they never had the unlock code, is their anything else i could do? or do i just give up and get rid of the phone.

no software, its built into windows mobile. Tap and hold on your clock in the taskbar and a drop down list will come down and you select analog or digital :D

another tip, if you hold down the center dpad button, or press in on the scroll bar, then tap and hold on the clock, let go of both then you have the "run" option..

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] panamamike:
Does anyone have instructions or information on the replacement of the factory screen protector?

I know Motorola can replace the screen protector and some folks have had it done for free. Does going this route requires any proof of purchase or other requirements.

I've seen a youtube video, talking about removal but it wasn't complete.

I have also read threads mentioning that removing the screen protector can cause the digitizer to stop working.

I talked to a guy at ubreakifix and he wasn't forth coming about the screen protector removal. He insisted it would be a screen replacement as opposed to just removing the screen protector. From the video the screen protector removal looks to leave behind a much thicker than normal glue. Not sure how this would be removed, some have suggested alcohol. Also, if the screen protector is removed, would it be possible to replace with a glass or other protector that would be easier to deal with?

Any info. on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] jhttr1z:
I removed the screen protector on one of my Z2 Force. It is difficult and you might pull the screen out. After removing the screen protector, you need to use Goo gone to remove the glue (quite difficult as well). I then installed a glass screen protector.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] quadcrap1:
Don't get Goo Gone near anything plastic. It melts plastic.

Better to use Naptha (e.g. lighter fluid). This is an all purpose solvent that is as good as Goo Gone for removing adhesive, and won't eat plastic.

Seen a number of variations of the phone, wonder which is best and why. From a radios aspect looks like Verizon -01 is best having the most CDMA and GSM radios.

Verizon has also released the Android 9 which is nice. Next is the Sprint -02 phone, it also has both sets of radios, but not as many frequencies.

Does having both sets of radios come at a price? Meaning more power consumption or other issues? Also I've been some variants with 128GB and 6GB of RAM. Are these limited to overs seas? Can they be found for a decent price?

I plan on using on the TracFone network GSM.

If you want root I would say anyone other than Verizon or AT&T, as their boot loaders can't be unlocked.. Plus it also will depend on which Carrier you are using.. As far as RAM goes, I not sure, my Sprint as 4GB and I'm satisfied as far as what I actually do with the phone. When it comes to power consumption it will depend on how ever of a user your are.

Hello guys,

I have an ASUS ZB501KL which is hard-bricked and, when I plug it on PC, it shows up ONLY as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, no eMMC storage or something like that, just the COM Port. Nothing weird (I guess), right? The weird fact is: EVERY-SINGLE-TIME the device is plugged in, my PC hangs and after minutes (generally 5-10) crashes. :confused:

I've tried to change USB Port: nothing

I've tried to disable the driver signed verification: nothing

I've tried to run in Safe Mode: NOTHING - device keeps disconnecting and reconnecting

I've tried to install drivers which have a digital signature: NoThInG

I've tried to use other PCs and other Operating Systems: the same problem

I don't know what else I could try to make my device recognized and possibly my PC hangs/crashes-immune, so if you guys have any suggestions I would really appreciate them. :)

P.S.: in Device Manager, when I click on driver properties, it shows the event "Device configured (null)"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RealAkito:
First, It might be the PC itself that is causing the crash.

Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate it.

I've downloaded the BoardDiag tool and it says: "partition.txt does not exist. Please extract the file from the total binary image."

Apparently I need a .tot firmware, which is LG specific, and I don't know if there are ASUS ones. I have a QFIL compatible firmware and another one called singleimage.bin, but they don't contain the file partition.txt.

By the way, my chip is a Qualcomm MSM8x26 and, regarding my PC, it seems that there are problems with my Generic USB Hub because I have too many devices attached for only 500mA of power.

Now, I don't know how to remove them, because when I uninstall their respective drivers, once I restarted the machine, they magically reappear as USB Composite Device (500mA) and Generic Bluetooth Adapter (100mA).

Also, BSOD Crash Dumps have to do with the file ACPI.sys and the error is: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zpired:
I think there is a misunderstanding, because you are talking about Xiaomi devices.

I have an ASUS ZB501KL and it is in a sort of "infinite EDL mode". Let me explain: my device goes automatically in EDL mode, even if I unplug and replug the battery, so I do not need any combination of buttons.

I'm starting to think that there may be some eMMC-related problems, because I've probably messed up the block 0 in some way.

Anyway... the biggest problem is still the BSODs I get when I connect my phone in the USB port, and if I boot my machine with the phone plugged it freezes and doesn't even load the BIOS.

Hi, thanks for your reply. :)

Unfortunately, all of your possible solutions do not work in my case because, apparently, I wiped out the entire eMMC and there are no more partitions. I also installed usbdeview to see what is going on with my usb drivers, and I noticed that the "Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008" device doesn't turn on (in order to understand each other: it has the red light), even if I disable the driver signature verification.

Reading some other topic I saw that is possible to boot a Qualcomm device directly from SD Card, is that true? Because, if it is, I could try to flash, I don't know, the bootloader I guess?

Let me know if it is possible and, why not, share some other solution which can help me to revive my dead phone.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teddy Lo:
Hi , I know that is possible to create cdc boot files inside sd card to boot your device but I'm not professional for that .

What you can try is to reconect your battery but you need to dissasembly your device.

If that doesn't work maybe your battery is dead or hardware issue like emmc chip .
