tried to flash after renaming to novota.zip but got a signature verification error. so i downloaded again and didnt rename and sideloaded using googles instructions. loaded up fine. then i patched the nov boot image in magisk and flashed to boot_a and _b in fastboot... booted up fine. then i installed the oh so awesome edge sense module then rebooted, opnly to be greeted by a do you want to try again or factory reset recovery display... so i tried again and got the same message... so then i flashed the stock november boot image to a and b and now im on nov, but without root.

Why didn't you try to flash the OTA zip directly from TWRP?did you remove the -w in order to keep the data intact?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] micks_address:
Verizon pixel 3xl checked for update in menu and applying now..
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
I mean, you can certainly flash the OTA in TWRP, but I find it easier to just run it in fastboot. And yes, removing the -w is so it won't wipe. Not trying to setup my phone every time :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dipstik:
so if you use the sideload command it doesnt wipe but if you flash with fastboot or in twrp, without modifying the flash all batch file, it will wipe everything?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
I'm pretty sure when you sideload it's the OTA, not the full image? The OTA would be exactly what you get in updates, it doesn't wipe. The image does have a wipe in it. If you don't remove the -w, it does a full reset.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] just4747:
Correct. If you download the OTA zip file, you can sideload that in stock Recovery without unlocking bootloader, and if you flash it there via Google's instructions, it will not wipe anything at all.

If you download the factory image zip file and flash that instead, I believe you can stop it from wiping data by removing the "-w" in the batch file, but keep in mind, if you haven't yet unlocked your bootloader, which is required to flash the recovery image in fastboot, the unlocking process will also WIPE everything!

Have you guys noticed that, when connected through usb on laptop, phone charges very slowly. This problem was not present in previous pixels. Even when connected through usb type C, phone shows "charging rapidly" but in Actual it charges slow @ 490ma only.

However, when connected through adaptor, its charging fine [MENTION=9327811]1500[/MENTION]ma current.

Can't seem to be able to flash the OTA via TWRP as is, I'll wait a bit before trying differently.

You remove the -w to keep it from wiping.

whats weird is that there is a bat file with the ota with the -w argument.

So.. I screwed something up and no I cannot boot. I have a very bad Internet connection where I live and I don't have the November patch with me. Is it possible that I could get someone that downloaded it from Google to put a copy of the original boot.img someplace where I could grab it? My poor excuse for Internet claims it's going to be 9 hours to download the entire thing for just the boot file :(

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lollyjay:
That is normal. Same for me and boots.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ridobe:
Mine continues to bootloop. If I flash magisk from TWRP, I loop into the stock recovery. If I flash the patched image, I bootloop and end up back in the bootloader. I'm on the latest canary build.

If anyone else stuck in a bootloop figures it it, let us know.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cachookaman:
I'm personally not using TWRP because of this:
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lollyjay:
Yes I agree. I just edited the flash-all.bat to remove the -w and all went well
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Chronzy:
What's the big deal with transferring the files to your phone before you reboot into bootloader? Flashing 17.3 in twrp from "latest beta" link in Magisk thread worked fine for me.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CZ Eddie:
I flashed the October image and I'll be darned if it's not different from the image that shipped & updated with my phone.

Like the recents.

The recents aren't the same behavior between the factory shipped and factory downloaded image.

Is it just me??
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Archangel:
I got the same error does anyone know what this is? And when I try to flash the full factory image it keeps saying remote variable not found?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bemagrp:
Same error here
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Atomregen:
To flash the full factory image via Fastboot you need to update your platform tools.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matssa:
It's not through fastboot, directly from TWRP.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Archangel:
Thanks brother yeah after errors like crazy I updated and all is good flashed the factory image -w and on Nov update with TWRP and Magisk reflashed.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Atomregen:
I've never heard to flash the full factory image via twrp. OTA images, yes maybe.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matssa:
Personally I tried to flash the OTA zip and didn't work. I didn't test the factory image since the best idea is to use fastboot for that.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ridobe:
The OTA has to be sideloaded.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matssa:
Even when you have TWRP? When you sideload, it's using stock recovery, not TWRP (or maybe there is a function that I didn't know about but since ADB and MTP isn't working in TWRP, you can't sideload via ADB in any case).
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Archangel:
I tried every way I could to sideload the OTA but had to flash the firmware with the -w taken out. I am guessing it is a TWRP thing that isnt working.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] igknight:
Thanks to Chronzy I was able to get my phone back to booting. I tried the TWRP again, first go failed to decrypt, entered my password again, slower watching to make sure that everything was picked up, and it took, claimed to decrypt it, but just sat there. Eventually rebooted the phone and went back into TWRP, entered my password again slowly and eventually got in and rooted it.

I think TWRP perhaps just couldn't take me entering my password as fast as I was?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
17.3 patched for the pixel 3's. Go to the Magisk thread, click the downloads link, look for the one that specifically states it works for pixel 3 and xl. I used 17.4 canary channel when I first rooted, this time around I used this one.

The only problem I have is when I repackage (hide) Magisk, I end up with 2, and I have to remove one and install the manager again. It's rooted and all works, I just can't hide Magisk... Weird.

---------- Post added at 08:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 AM ----------

Why? You have to plug your phone into a computer to flash the new image. Why not push twrp.img and magisk before you reboot to bootloader? It's as simple as adb push 'path to file'\filename. Not sure why you need anything else. Or why that would keep you from using TWRP. It's WAAAY faster and easier to use TWRP to root, as opposed to having to push a boot.img onto the phone, patch it, connect the phone back to the computer, flash the patched image. I don't get it. 'Shrugs'

Edit: You can even use drag and drop while the phone is connected to a computer. Just make sure to select transfer files in usb settings while connected.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bemagrp:
Thank you brother, did update, flashed factory image, booted twrp, flashed magisk 17.3, rooted on November update. Thumbs up.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NepoRood:
I always sideload my factory OTAs using stock recovery, never had an issue. I'm on November images and rooted with the same Magisk Canary build I used for October.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Dylan_x10:
Does flashing the new image do a factory reset?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
If you use the flash all bat file as is, yes. If you open it up with notepad and remove the -w near the end and save it, it does not.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] wahyu2221:
I believe that only the 8/256 and the 10/256 are true global versions... at least that's how they're characterized on the Xiaomi website. And 8/256 is only black, 10/256 is only the special edition (blue)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] james1089:
Could be right, long term ceramic looks better in black anyway, or maybe it's just the stock they have, for the near future. If it's half as good as the original mix I'll be happy, still going strong after 2 year's.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] wahyu2221:
It seems like those are the only color options for those particular loadouts (rather than short stock). I was kind of hoping for the Jade Green... though in some pics it looks amazing and in some it looks kind of blah... but I need the full range of global bands, so it looks like I'm getting black or blue.

As far as the stock, all Xiaomi is currently selling is the black. No blue, green, or special edition blue phones have appeared for sale and Xiaomi itself doesn't know when the other colors will be released. I was hoping for an introduction during the big 11/11 sales, but no dice...

I've got the original Mix, too... survived two recent drops that cracked the screen up but didn't kill the phone. On 10/31 I dropped it the third and final/fatal time. Was hoping to do a quick swap for the Mix 3, but now I'm in a waiting game and using an old phone.... I may have to cave and send the Mix in for a screen replacement (though that is NOT cheap).
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Si_NZ:
Somehow I missed your question. Not sure if it's relevant, but it's release on the 18th Dec in Taiwan. All three colours are available, but only 6GB/128GB version available.

Already rumors circulating that the 3.5 audio jack will be eliminated on the next iteration of Samsung Galaxy phones. That's too bad. Basically a deal breaker for me as I will not purchase any phone with a notch or missing a 3.5 audio jack, (and I would argue one with a quality DAC attached).

Looks like next time that I'm looking to replace my phone, it will be with a much cheaper Chinese phone and that I'll be using the money left towards a dedicated DAP from here on out.

Oh well...

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Spl4tt:
Well, when every other manufacturer except LG is doing it, I could imagine Samsung doing it, too. Also they already presented their AKG bluetooth lineup. It would make sense moneywise to kill the jack, so they can sell those better...

I hope not, if they stay with it, they'll get all the headphone jack people on their side. Even right now, I only switched to Samsung because they're the last remaining headphone jack phones with a community.

I'd love to go LG, but there are just no ROMs, kernels or other mods at all.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Spl4tt:
Just because it's more comfortable to wear doesn't mean it's better in general.

Quality is worse, not just because of codecs, but also because there are actually no good wireless headphones out there.

Yes, I can convert my IEMs to wireless, but then I'm still stuck with just AptX, because there are no "wireless cable" options for LDAC / AptX-HD, except I'm gong with a bluetooth DAC - Which would be even less comfortable than the normal cable in the first place.

I don't even start how unstable LDAC and AptX-HD are.

Just because you find it ok, doesn't mean it's indeed ok to remove the headphone jacks. At least until we get a proper replacement tech where we don't sacrifice anything.

"P9" - EMUI 4 / Android MM, EMUI 5 / N or EMUI 8 / O

What was exacrly your full firmware name and number (like EVA-L09c532b505 or what)

"TWRP" - which/where from?

(diff TWRP installations must be used for MM, N or N), and if TWRP from TWRP site - that one is definitely not good for N and O

"root" - by SuperSU, Magisk or something else (hopefully not King.... tools or so)

So, from which Huawei firmware did you start, which steps did you perform and by which tools

Btw, rooting N by SuperSU or O by Magisk is pretty straightforward, but is important that proper, corresponding TWRPs are used.

And if anything goes wrong (brick or so) stock Boot partition (N) or stock Ramdisk partition (O) can be easily flashed over to go back
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] bomba697:
I'm sorry for the poor description but I was in panic.

Starting from EVA-L09C432B3xx, don't remember the exact version, N 5.0.1

TWRP 3.1.0.-1

SuperSU, https://xdaforums.com/p9/development/root-supersu-2-81-emui-5-t3612258. I had big trouble trying to root because every time the phone rebooted before finishing the procedure.

I didn't use any tool at all for unlocking bootloader, flash recovery and root. Just adb and fastboot in cmd + TWRP.

BTW, I recovered the phone! Used DC-Phoenix to reset the phone from fastboot and then made a downgrade to b182.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
PS: Why did you flash Cust?

For TWRP or to go back to stock Recovery, you only need to flash recovery (for N) or ramdisk_recovery (for O)

To flash root patch for SuperSU for N (or to restore back) you only need to flash boot partition, similarly for Magisk (O) ramdisk partution.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] bomba697:
Because Multi-Tool 8 was asking to flash also CUST to apply unbrik procedure.

The problem was that I wasn't able to mount /data partition. Also from stock recovery I wasn't able to format /data, only wipe the cache
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
If you recovered and if you are on b182 now, you will hopefully receive OTA upgrades tp go back to N

Btw, working procedure for rooting N was described in thread

https://xdaforums.com/p9/development/root-supersu-2-81-emui-5-t3612258

Again, if TWRP was not able to mount Data, was it really proper TWRP from XDA Huawei Nougat threads (adapred to support Huawei N and its encryption), like

https://xdaforums.com/p9/development/twrp-t3565703

Quick background on mine:

I bricked my phone when I did a factory reset and deleted internal storage and accidentally deleted important files while doing so. I flashed a stock update from the warehouse and completely deleted the system instead. I then flashed Lineage ROM which reinstalled the system but now causes me to get stuck in bootup. When I installed Lineage ROM, I got the following error.
