Hi all,

First of all, sorry for my english...

I've got a problem to root a phone.

I followed this guide :

https://xdaforums.com/android/development/root-ulefone-armor-2-easy-rooting-t3780055

But I just realized, it's for ulefone Armor 2, while I try to root a Armor 2S..

I followed instructions, but I've got a problem on the point 2.

C:\Users\greg\Downloads\root\platform-tools>fastboot.exe flashing unlock
(bootloader) Start unlock flow

OKAY [ 5.301s]

booting FAILED (remote: 'invalid ramdisk address: overlap with the download image')
Finished. Total time: 0.417s

After few test, who doesn't work at all, I've decide to reboot my phone.

Now, It's stuck on the main screen with this text :

Orange State
Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted
Your device will boot in 5 seconds.

And after 5 seconds, the screen go black for one second and return to the message.

And I can't go to recovery mode anymore. Volume+ and Power button don't do anythong but show this "Orange state" screen.

Please tell me there is a solution to unbrick this phone..

Thanks in advance

Try to relock again bootloader with command : fastboot oem lock maybe it can fix that issue but do at your own risk !!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mqdb35:
Thank you for your answer, but the phone is not recognized by the computer at this point.

I can not send command from the PC (adb or fastboot)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teddy Lo:
Try some key combination keys like :

hold Vol + and plug usb

hold Vol - and plug usb

hold Vol + ; Vol - and plug usb

If that doesn't work , let your battery to be completely empty 0% and repeat process . :) Good luck
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mb76:
It's finally upgrade time, coming from a Lumia 930 after my OnePlus 3 have up the ghost after an impact.

Been looking at options and Pixel 2 XL is coming up at £31 a month with no upfront cost (for comparison Pixel 3 XL is around £60 per month)

Am I going to regret getting this or is it still a worthy upgrade today and for the next 2 years?

Are the reported issues actually issues or just people looking for problems?

Thank you for your time
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] galaxys:
It's still a great device with a few years of updates to come... Price is Right compared to 2018 flagships...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] twistedh:
I had a note 8 for almost a year and a xiaomi mi 8. The Samsung was awesome and the s pen was useful but the pixel experience is so much better. Speed differences are not huge, I don't play too many games so it's fast enough for my needs.

The camera is awesome, no contest compared to current phones tbh and with only one lens.

The phone looks great (I have panda white) and I'd rather have this pixel instead of the latest as I'm fed up of all glass phones.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TheSt33v:
If you like ugly notches and having to pay $80 for a wireless charger to get full speed wireless charging because Google locked down the phone to use only their wireless charger, get the Pixel 3. Otherwise, get the Pixel 2.

UPDATE: Google backpedaled and said it will start certifying 3rd party wireless chargers. Those that are certified will be able to charge the phone at full speed. Still seems kind of stupid to me considering neither Apple nor Samsung have any such requirement for their wireless chargers, but it's not as dumb as locking them all out.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Phazonclash:
Still an awesome device by today's standards. Still super fast, will be updated for a while by Google, it will officially get most of the new Pixel 3 features, and unofficially the other features (thanks XDA).

Get it!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Benjamin_L:
I just bought it after the pixel3 release. Couldn't be happier :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bigbamboo5:
Buy it. There's no way the 3 is worth another thirty quid a month, especially as many of the upgrades will eventually work on the 2XL. Mine's a year old (Panda white) and it's running like a dream. Best phone I've ever had.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
I can see it running fine for the next two years. Unless apps really start increasing their demands on RAM and processor by a lot, it'll age fine.

That being said, I still go with getting a phone within 6 months of release to get the most of it in the long run. Only benefit of anything longer is price being lower so if you can get a great deal for a Pixel 2 XL, then sure go for it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Guyinlaca:
I'd look at the OnePlus 6T or possibly even the LG V40. The Pixel 2 XL is great, don't get me wrong, but the 2018 flagships are pulling ahead. I have a feeling with Android 10, the bar will be raised for specs needed for a smooth experience. If you don't run a lot of apps at once and aren't gaming, the Pixel 2 XL might be fine, but as software and apps get more advanced it may start to feel laggy over time.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] BabelHuber:
After buying an LG G5, I would recommend LG phones only to my worst enemies. The UI looks fugly and isn't as smooth as Google's, it's full of bloatware, the LG apps are worse then the original GApps they replace, updates don't arrive each month and new Android releases take an eternity. Hell, the G5 got Android 8 only recently! On top the developer support gets worse and worse with each new model (if you can unlock the bootlaoder at all), so you hardly can escape LG's version of software hell on earth.

The OnePlus 6T is most likely miles ahead, but it's made of glass. And you need forked versions of the Google camera to shoot nice pictures.

My Pixel 2 XL has been running smooth over the last year, I haven't regretted that I bought it for one second, despite its steep price.

So if you don't want to spend the money for the new version, get a Pixel 2 XL. Or get a OnePlus 6T if you must have more RAM. But don't buy the LG V40, it may seem fine at first, but you'll regret it later on.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Guyinlaca:
Everything up to the G5 and V20 was unreliable, though I've seen good things about the V30 and presumably the V40 as well. The Pixel 2 XL being made by LG shares a great deal in common. That said, it still does appear the OnePlus 6T is the best value for one's money. The aggressive sales on the V40 are tempting too ($200 off).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AnierinB:
I just bought a pixel 2xl yesterday and quite frankly I saw no particular reason to go the 3xl route at this point in time. This phone is a beast.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Hazzay88:
I would recommend a newer handset especially if you can wait for the OP6T. I'm moving from.my Pixel 2 XL to the Mate 20 Pro.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Benjamin_L:
Just to have something newer, shinier or are there real reasons? ;) I see no point except the slight blue tint of the display to upgrade this fantastic device.

What if you can score one for $300 - $400. Seems like would be a good pick up at that price point even if you only use it for a year.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Well the OP got it for a monthly $39.76/month with no up front cost. Pricey but it's a lot less than the Pixel 3 XL for $76.96/month. Either way, both are way more than what we pay in the US
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Edmontonchef:
Yep. It's a gooder. I came from a 2016 Moto z griffin with a battery mod and this gets better battery life.

Still at 78% by the time I get home from work.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
My installment plan through Google is approx. $42 a month for 24 months. I also had a $200 credit applied from Google to reduce the time period to 19 months. So while the $76.96 is way more, the $39.76 is slightly less, so, are these prices what the OP's carrier was charging?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mb76:
How much is it in the US and what do you get for that? My payment included the phone, unlimited calls, unlimited texts and 10GB of 4G data
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I'm not [MENTION=2840465]EeZeEpEe[/MENTION], but I mentioned how much I pay per month direct from Google. That is, of course, for just the phone. Service from a carrier would be an additional cost.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] simplepinoi177:
I just wanted to add a small tidbit; for what it's worth, because of all the mess that happened with this phone at launch, Google extended its "base warranty" to two years (from the default one year)...should add something in consideration when asking about future-proofing (relatively); at least it will be covered by Google for another year and will continue to get the latest updates for the foreseeable future...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] kp72204:
Thanks for the reviews guys. I bought a Pixel 2 xl about three weeks ago. I let it sit since about the 10th of Oct. I couldn't bare leaving my Nexus 6 behind. Well I had surgery on my ankle 5 days ago and noticed my phone's battery just doesn't last for more than a couple of hours. Time to open pixel 2 xl and root and see if it's as enjoyable as the 6 was. I just watch youtube vids and play basic games.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] galaxys:
Welcome aboard kp72204, enjoy your Pixel XL 2!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rodcpierce:
I had an LG V30 and thought it was an amazing device, except for one small thing. It would lag out to the point of not being usable when running the hotspot feature. I ended up bricking the device on a fluke and it was between the OP6 and the Pixel 2 XL. I was a little worried to grab the Pixel 2 because of the experience with the V30, but Ill say this thing is WAY better at RAM management than the V30. I absolutely love this thing! Easily last for another year or two without issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
You're like the only person I've heard say the RAM management is good on the Pixel 2 XL. The V30 must be that bad. For me it's okay but definitely reloads more often than I would think it should. At least it's fast on reloads.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rodcpierce:
Ive yet to have a single issue with it. I guess I also dont have 30 apps open at a time either. The V30 uses about 95% of available RAM at all times regardless of apps open or not.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
It doesn't need to be 30 apps and I don't even game. I'm pretty sure I can make an app reload with rotating between 8 maybe 10 apps at the most. Just things like Gmail, Chrome, Tapatalk, Amazon, Instagram, etc.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rodcpierce:
No, you're right. I just tested it. But it really doesn't bother me. They load so damn fast. The phone is snappy no matter what. That wasn't the case with my particular V30. I can assure you.

Hell, turn animations off and this thing is ridiculous.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah it doesn't bother me either since it's quick enough. The reload is so fast on some apps it makes me second guess if it really reloaded. It most noticable on apps with a load screen like maps of Feedly.

So you can't go in fastboot mode?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Nebrassy:
are you sure you flashed all partitions manually?

if so, try this command

fastboot erase ddr
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] kurogam3:
Teply

Thank you for your response, Yes i flashed all partitions manually and as i said before if i go into fastboot pc doesnt see anythin. Today i managed to open up the phone and did the test points method but after trying to flash the stock rom that IS in C: partion on pc i keep getting error "requested resource is in use"

I would try the command if pc would see the phone in fastboot but it does'nt.

It only shows up with test point method as qualcom smth. Maybe i can use commands in edl mode too?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] kurogam3:
Yes i CAN'T go into fastboot.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Nebrassy:
When it shows up as qualcomm it means it's in edl mode, you need to use mi flash
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Nebrassy:
Are you using a usb 3.0 port?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] kurogam3:
No
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Nebrassy:
I'm not sure but this might be a problem with the PC, did you try another one?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] kurogam3:
No, i agree that it might be a pc problem, if i can ill try with a different pc, thank you for your help, and quick responses <

P.s idk how to thank you i mean the thanks button..

Great !! waiting for download links! btw it's Falcon every where(moto g 2013) in the thread
[G 2014 Android Development] Kajuru:
Finally good governors ?

Interactive is usually broken on Titan, never going down even when idle(3-4 cores online all the time as well with MPDecision). Had to use conservative (60-90) to make it downclock to 384mhz idle.

Now we got Alucard + AutoSMP + Zen for the win. More battery juice!

Yay!

Thank you, man.
[G 2014 Android Development] Danick8989:
This is Moto G 2014 Titan forum, but the OP says Falcon from 2013. Is you kernel for Falcon or Titan?
[G 2014 Android Development] angryhari:
How do i change to this kernel? I'm already using the Evolution Kernel By willizambrano01
[G 2014 Android Development] DanGLES3:
Just wait until its released,then just flash it
[G 2014 Android Development] angryhari:
So i dont need to re-flash my original kernel?! COOL... :cool::good:
[G 2014 Android Development] DanGLES3:
Yeah,kernels come in img format (image) whenever you change a kernel that boot.img gets replaced entirely (with the exception of the ramdisk to keep magisk)
[G 2014 Android Development] bejunk:
Sorry for the OT question, but you habe an Idea why some Animations are missing & why the simplified tabs are forced in chrome & how to solve it? I tried the flasg to force.highend_gfx=1 & force device.low.ram_config=0 but it did not has any effect :(

Also i want to try to roll a build on weekend, thread of peregrine has quite good info for it. Did you try to build?
[G 2014 Android Development] DanGLES3:
persist.sys.force_highendgfx=true and ro.config.low_ram=false,those are the correct properties also,is splitscreen avaliable? if it is then those properties are already the default,try checking the flags on chrome chrome://flags
[G 2014 Android Development] bejunk:
Sorry did not had the exact strings handy ;)

Anyway, added them now & its still the same... (Tested Chrome Canary & Kiwi Browser which is based on Chromium and even has a flag for the simplified tab view.)

Btw, there are also some other stuff missing like small animations (when you mark text & the press on that arrow to see more options, there is no animation, etc.)

Afaik these strings are also not more used, because low spec devices (which those flags were introduced for in KK) use Android GO now. And for GO, you set a flag before compiling the ROM.

Splitsscreen works with & without these flags. They seem to literally do nothing.

Im just curious how the system sets that?! (MAybe by looking up the RAM size i guess) And how we can trick it to have full graphgics.

EDIT: If you reply, maybe better on LOS thread or via PM, dont want to clutter the Kernel thread.

EDIT2: Btw, i added an .sh to set renderer to opengl after boot, like you said, but it was the same effect as i would have enabled directly in build.prop. Launcher lag was mostly gone and some stuff feel'd more responsive, but SysUI was more laggy and sometimes lockscreen froze. Did not seem that it used skia still for system, but like opengl globally. Did you use it still use opengl render? Did you enable it via terminal? Would be great to have an smooth launcher & system too :D
[G 2014 Android Development] DanGLES3:
These flags are still used,go devices use the low ram property,if you still can use splitscreen then you are not using android go,just set the low ram flag to true to see what i mean,what makes a go device can be set through the build.prop or at compile time
[G 2014 Android Development] bejunk:
I know :) It just seems those flags did not have any effect for me. I added a question about opengl above :) Anyway thank you!
[G 2014 Android Development] DanGLES3:
Just leave opengl as the default on build.prop,the systemui and launcher are much smoother or opengl then skia,the only bug on opengl is that screenshot previews don't show up (power+volume down),also type su then cmd package bg-dexopt-job on the terminal,wait till its over (might take 5-15minutes) then reboot
[G 2014 Android Development] bejunk:
Just had some trouble with the terminal (tried to run it without "cmd" lol) - but its all ok now. Lets see the next days hows performace. peace!
[G 2014 Android Development] willizambrano01:
Quiet man, the kernel will be available for falcon and for titan :confused:
[G 2014 Android Development] willizambrano01:
Oh god :v

Hi! ... I am solving some last minute problems, it is not my intention to promote since I do not gain anything with it, in some hours I will edit the OP and the kernel will be available, thanks for being aware!
[G 2014 Android Development] willizambrano01:
As last news, I had to eliminate some governors who fail constantly, but the kernel is doing very well, I hope you enjoy it.
[G 2014 Android Development] DanGLES3:
[MENTION=7398925]willizambrano01[/MENTION] i noticed cerberus was avaliable for some time for the falcon before being pulled out of android file host,what happened?
[G 2014 Android Development] DanGLES3:
[MENTION=7398925]willizambrano01[/MENTION] Seriously don't post about a new kernel if you are going to take a week to release it,i know you need to do testing and all but if its still in testing stage don't make a post teasing users,only make a post when the kernel is ready to be released,sorry if i sound rude but making a post about a new kernel then barely giving any news if at all about its release its just annoying to everyone,i know you are likely very busy but atleast daily progress updates would be nice
[G 2014 Android Development] Dugatoembridge:
Until a few days ago we had no hope or expectation of a custom kernel, let us be patient! The development for titan is dying, there's almost nobody working on it (we can not afford to complain), be grateful to whoever's still doing it ...
[G 2014 Android Development] victorthaz:
Exactly because I'm not expecting a new kernel for Titan, I'm looking forward to it, and I believe everyone follows this topic early on as well. I would if I knew, but I do not know how to program ... But I understand that everyone has their problems out there, I want everything to be fine!

ALL hotplugs are enabled at once on a clean LOS install(mpdecision, msm_hotplug and autosmp). Btw even tho autosmp isnt listed on thread, It seems to be working.

Fastcharge is supposed to be 1300mA like default?

Liking the 19mhz GPU idle.

Missing CPU overclock. :(
[G 2014 Android Development] willizambrano01:
It's very weird, what version are you using?

fastcharge is 1500mA
[G 2014 Android Development] Kajuru:
Los 16 latest

Cerberus Oreo/Pie

Ampere app says 1300mA. Enabled FC v2 on Kernel Adiutor. No change.

Will try rebooting again.

Edit: no change in charge limit, be it on or off, unplugging in between.

Edit2: charger suports 3A.
[G 2014 Android Development] willizambrano01:
check that with the stock kernel 3A really work, the fastcharge is indicated only for usb connection, can you send capture of the hotplugs in adiutor kernel? I have doubts about that
[G 2014 Android Development] Kajuru:
It worked with Evolution Kernel Oreo flashed over Pie. 1500mA.

Stock kernel 1300mA.

About the hotplugs, i disabled mpdecision and msm_hotplug, Just kept autosmp, If thats what youre asking.
[G 2014 Android Development] willizambrano01:
Oh wow, thanks for helping, it's my mistake, I'll fix it as soon as I can, you just have to activate msm_hotplug, tell me how the performance goes with only a hotplug activated (msm_hotplug)?
[G 2014 Android Development] DanGLES3:
Overclock never worked as the msm8226 cpu of the g2 is locked to overclock meaning the over clock on evolution did nothing
[G 2014 Android Development] CMKdaGreatest:
[MENTION=7398925]willizambrano01[/MENTION]

The Oreo/Pie version fails in RR Oreo.

It constantly keeps booting into the bootloader screen when I flash the kernel.

Please fix it at the earliest.

Thanks
[G 2014 Android Development] Kajuru:
I'd say MSM isn't working or taking very long to kick in. Itjust keeping doing whatever MPDecision was doing.

Example:

Disabled autosmp and MPDecision, you keep hotplugging. You'd think it's MSM doing its job, but, if you disable MPDecision last, all cores go online (obviously).

Now enable MSM, the cores keep online, they won't hotplugging at all.

Recap:

At boot, all hotplugs are active.

Disable autosmp.

Disable MSM.

Disable MPDecision.

-all cores go online- due to lack of hotplug

Enable MSM.

-all cores are still online- it's supposed to start going on and off, but doesn't

-no hotplugging-

Manually disable or disable cores

-they keep this state you set-

Disable MSM

-no change-

-they don't even go back online like the first time you disabled MPDecision-

Enable MPDecision or autosmp

-hotplugging starts again-

Hope I made it clear enough. MSM isn't doing anything in my tests.
