If the ota has a boot.img in it probably but I'm not positive
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jd1639:
Yes it will. Twrp will be replaced (if you have it installed) with the stock recovery. But why do you want to lock the bootloader?

Edit, I just saw your other post. If you want to sell it I'd flash the factory image so it wipes your device. Then skip the Google setup and lock the bootloader.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Didit_Anshari:
Does flash-all with "-w" intact flash to both slots ? and then safe to relock the bootloader ? after make sure it boot alright first
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Yes it does. And then you'll be ok to lock I down :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] def-g:
So just flash factory image via ADB? Saw a video where dude flashed radios, boot IMG. Ect. Seemed complex. Just the factory image will get me back to stock?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jd1639:
Just run the flash-all batch file.

I figured it out, just got to tap the vol up button after no com screen
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bignazpwns:
So I have said this from the start. Whitestone has cut major corners on this product. I knew this from the first "Review" if you want to call it that because no one has reviewed this. They just make install guides and try to get you to buy it. The dead give away for me was when they sell it at around $40 when proper UV adhesive alone would cost $20 and the amount they give you would be $40. That's bulk prices. I work in the opto-electronics industry so stuff like this is what I deal with every day.

So I did some test. Using the stock Whitestone cure light, A UV oven, a Spot cure UV station, A Dymax cure station as well as others. When I took the protector off you can tell the adhesive never fully cured. This explains why you get the delamination what looks like bubbles to some or a kinda web look.

In one of the pictures marked spot cure. You will see the dot that is a proper optical adhesive. You see why the included adhesive turned to gel the stuff we use was fully cured. Both were exposed to the same light for the same time. If you use this I guarantee you will never get delamination or have a case light the protector up. But keep in mind that one tube of that is $20 but it shows how cheap the included adhesive is

.

No UV cure station I have here can fully cure that junk. And it is junk. I have seen some cheap UV adhesive but this is by far the absolute worst.

I will do some more test with this adhesive. I don't even think its optical grade.

But if Whitestone wants to send me some samples of adhesive or some kits i'll be more then happy to test them and post my findings. But from the 2 kits I have seen. First had delamination the second kit direct from Whitestone aka Cellto USA in Torrance California is 100% total trash.

And here is a video of more uv light then will ever be put on this adhesive. Note that adhesive was from my first kit. So 2 kits one from Amazon the other direct from them and neither one of them could do a full cure.

https://youtu.be/yzLzeLolpb4
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Mattheyu:
Thanks for this in-depth info. If you check reviews for this product on Amazon and sort by new, you will see tons of others having delamination on the edges and reporting their screen still broke after a drop.

I was hoping for a good, glass screen protector it looks like Whitestone is astroturfing reviews and even comments here. Maybe they are inconsistent in production causing the disparity, but after doing research on it, I skipped Whitestone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bignazpwns:
I'll get back with a part number and link to some good uv adhesive. Then just get the Whitestone replace the adhesive with that and it will be good to go. Install the same cure the same. Just gotta check a few adhesives out get one that flows well and gets a good cure off the oem light.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Mattheyu:
If you are going that route, might as well just get a cheaper glass screen protector, strip any adhesive, and apply your own. Since it doesn't seem effective at drop protection, the only concern would be possible lackluster screen sensitivity. No need to pay a company for doing a bad job and cutting corners on a "premium" product.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bignazpwns:
You could but the little tiny bumps on the bottom of the protector help get an even coat of epoxy. You can do it without them but those would help with it.

But depending on fit the Zagg with the little strips of 2 sided tape might be the best bet. I just don't know how it will fit. I might have one laying around I can dig up and test with some uv adhesive if people really wanna see how that would work. Should be the same for any other one since they would all have flat bottoms without the little bumps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bignazpwns:
Ok video is uploading. I test it against some ok optical adheasive. I might have to upload it when I get home. I made it to show that the stuff was fresh from the vial for the Whitestone and the optical adhesive I used was crap and it was expired. Here are some pics of it at 380x.

And I must say. The stock adhesive I dont think is optical. Because this was some pretty cheap optical adhesive and as you can see it's better.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bignazpwns:
Phone messed up and did a double post. Please delete this post.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bignazpwns:
Showing delamination at 380x proper adhesive won't do that. It just fails. This Dymax also made a stronger bond and it was even expired. Also note the optical propertys of it even failed are much better then the delaminated oem.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] gamekill:
I am trying to understand but I have no idea what the pictures mean. Please explain briefly?

Bought a 2-set of Whitestone Dome for my Note 9, and I installed the first one and for me, it was perfect..? I made the mistake of using the Gear VR with the old adaptor (Note 8 fit) that puts pressure on the bottom part of the screen, so I got the bubbles effect on a tiny horizontal strip around 1mm high by 10mm wide. But other parts of the protector are amazingly smooth. I don't understand what is not ideal here. I believe you are warning us about something that is ****ed up, I just don't understand what..?

EDIT: also please recommend the good enough adesive, if possible at all, available at amazon.co.jp too.. I can use the second glass from the 2-pack

Will the Whitedome light suffice?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Batas:
[MENTION=3255110]gamekill[/MENTION], the left image shows the problem with the whitestone adhesive. Can you see the spiderwebs already? That is what I was getting. Whitestone sent me a replacement, but I had to pay for shipping (12 €) which I regret for doing. Their excuse is to blame the user.

[MENTION=2113451]bignazpwns[/MENTION], how difficult is to remove the screen protector if you use a stronger UV adhesive? This whitestone one comes out very easy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] alher591:
would like to know what kind of adhesive you recommend when you find it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] worldsoutro:
I second this! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bignazpwns:
Little tied up at work so ill do some more testing this week. Company I work for is a huge player in the 5g market so we're pretty busy. The picture shows delamination. That's what happens if you push on it. The adhesive does not fail because it's like a gel. It will streach. That give you that webbing or bubbles as some call. Stronger adhesive fully cured won't streach. You can push and you won't get any delamination. It will hold until the adhesive fails. So with your gear VR that part pushing on it would not happen with high quality optical adhesive. Keep in mine that line is 100um. The slide each line is 10um. So looking at a gear VR you are getting some distortion with the oem adhesive. Pixels on the note 9 are red 22um blue 24um and green 14um. So using a gear VR with the screen and oem adhesive the picture will not be as sharp due to the low quality of the adhesive. Will it be a huge impact? Probably not but it will be there and under magnification you can really see how poor the adhesive is. Under magnification the adhesive not being optical quality acts as a defuser for the light. Look good until you start to add magnification. I haven't looked at it with a gear VR because I don't have one but I know what optics they use for hmd's and you will start to see that it actas as a defuser.

Adhesives I'll test a few we got here and get some samples and test them. Removing even with a stronger adhesive should be fine. I don't know of the protector will come off in one peice but it when I poped the slides apart it wasn't like the Whitestone's oem that was like tar. This was a hard snap at the point of the adhesive failing then it lifted off.

I got a spare done screen protector. I'll clean that up and run some adhesive removal test on it. The oleophobic coating on the note 9 will help with that removal.it won't be as strong as a pure glass to glass bond like on the slides. But it can be removed. And we use methonal to help remove it on some tiny fiberoptic lenses.

But as soon as I can I'll get to more testing. Grade some adhesives on holding power. We have a machine that can mesure the force required to break that bond. And if tell you what adheasive to use if you want something like the strength of the oem or if you want something a little stronger for a case that likes to press against it.

I should have some time this week to do some test and let you know know what adhesive to order and where to order it. I'll be using the oem Whitestone dome light to cure it so my results will be the same you can get at home.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] gamekill:
Yes, on a thin horizontal area at the bottom center part, right above the USB port. That is where the Gear VR connector pushed against the screen.

It would be nice indeed to use a better adhesive and not have that problem!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] otaconremo:
I have a question. If we use a stronger adhesive and when time comes you'll break the protector and if we try to remove the protector, will it damage the original glass in the removal process?

I'm also interested i. This because my current protector lost some adhesives on the curved edges.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] worldsoutro:
Any update? ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bignazpwns:
Pretty tied up at work. I'll get more info in a day or two. I did find some adhesive if you guys never want that screen protector to come off lol.

Ordered some samples to test so soon as those get in I'll start testing those.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] gamekill:
That is my concern. Screen protectors are supposed to be replaceable if they break. If when they get broken or removed,the original screen gets ruined, it is meaningless.

Also, if an adhesive is super strong, wouldn't if make the protector grip so strongly to the screen that if the protector shatters, the screen gets shattered too?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bignazpwns:
That's using our stuff for a permanent bond lol. I got some other stuff here that's about 40% stronger then oem but I was able to get it off no problem. I ordered the liquid version of it we use a gel version. Same adhesive ones just a gel. I'll get it on the. Pull it off and let you guys know how it is.

End of the year and the upcoming 5g were pretty busy here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bignazpwns:
It's about bond strength. I got some stuff that's better then the oem. I can peal it out. Then I got some good stuff that holds 10x stronger then the oem...that will come off...with a ton of force. So I think I found the sweet spot. Checking out a gel version to see how that goes and if it will offer some impact resistance why still maintaining touch sensitivity.

When I pick the winner I'll do a video installing and the. Removing it to show everyone. For the love of God don't just put some on. Most atlre permanent and if you don't know what the propertys are just going with optical uv adhesive you will get something for the fiberoptics industry thats used to hold lenses on fibers.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] mkanet:
I've been trying to look for a simple solution to automatically turn on my Note 9's mobile hotspot when I get into my car. Unfortunately, I can't find any reliable working solutions. Especially, since it's impossible to root my phone (Verizon). I tried Macrodroid. The method it provides seems to only support old phones from a few years ago.

Are there any clever ways at all to automatically turn on the mobile hotspot on my phone when I go into my car? I don't mind occasionally manually turn on the hotspot. However, it's not a reasonable solution to manually turn on the mobile hotspot every single time I get into my car.:(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] intrancer:
Check out 'tasker'
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] netnerd:
there's a widget that turn on hotspot with just 1 click. but it only work on Oreo and on unlocked u1 firmware.

wifi hotspot by Mandelbrot
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] mkanet:
Thanks for the quick reply back. I was under the impression that Tasker can't do this anymore on newer Android OS's (8.1 and newer); at least, not on Samsung phones.. even with the "Nougat+ Tasker Tethering Control" plugin.

Has something changed that allows Tasker to work? Is there a new beta that allows this without rooting? If so, could you please point me to the URL that talks about this? I couldn't find it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] mkanet:
Hmm... doing this manually every single time isn't really feasible for me. It would be no different than toggling the mobile hotspot via the notification bar or telling Bixby to turn it on/off... it's still a manual process that I'm bound to forget to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] padlad:
I just set up a quick Tasker task to see if hotspot would turn on and it does, I'm not rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] brc6985:
This can be done with tasker, but I'm not sure it will work with the screen off (perhaps tasker can turn on the screen, though).

Create a task that does the following:

1. Turn off wifi

2. Launch Bixby voice (the 2nd entry)

3. Use autoinput to tap the keyboard icon at bottom left once Bixby voice is open.

4. Type "enable mobile hotspot".

I haven't yet found a better way to have tasker access Bixby for sending commands. Perhaps there's an intent or something we could use.

EDIT: I just tried creating a quick command, and using the Bixby button while screen off, was prompted to unlock the phone first. It would be amazing to utilize Bixby with Tasker, without unlocking the screen. Anyways, good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] oddbehreif:
Tasker is able to turn WiFi hotspot on perfectly with the screen off. No need to mess with Bixby.

I know this might be kinda late but, I came here for the same thing with an S9 not rooted. i tried both Macrodroid and Trigger but they weren't any help, then I downloaded tasker and followed this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXzHoQJCx9M , i added another exit task to turn on wifi and that way I have it the way it was before entering the car once I exit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pseudus:
Just set this up, will test it shortly. Thank you very much for your post, will edit and let ya know if it worked for me.

Update: This did not work for me. I have now tried, Tasker, Automate, Macrodroid and I think one other one, and none of them work.

I have an unrooted Sprint Galaxy Note 9, running Pie (Android 9). Is this working somehow for anyone else?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] netnerd:
on my s10+ you can map the bixby button to turn on hotspot !
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ludeape:
you do this within the bixby app? and what about turning off hotspot though?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] netnerd:
yes, try to update the bixby app.

I dont really care about turning off hotspot.

you can turn it off when your hand is free.

i have a wifi max360c radar detector,

when you driving, just press the bixby button to turn it on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ludeape:
thanks.. yea i already tried the new bixby remapping because i wanted to see if i could drop bxActions app for turning flashlight on/off and just use bixby remapping, but i want to be able to turn things on/off .. not just on.

I also tried tasker autoinput and i can get the status bar to drop down, but it wont select the mobile hotspot icon for some reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pseudus:
I totally did, someone helped in the Note 9 subreddit. The answer is Good Lock, which is, and of itself, bad ass. The Routines App in Good Lock does it, easy peasy!

For OP credit, the thread is here. If you use Reddit, please upvote his reply.

An article and download link on Good Lock is here.

Enjoy!!!

---------- Post added at 11:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 AM ----------

The point for me was that it was automated, the Bixby button does work, but its just as fast in that case to pull down your notification shade and toggle it yourself. I just posted a response to someone else, Good Lock, Routines is the answer. See above.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ludeape:
How do you set Routines to turn off the hotspot when you disconnect from the car bluetooth?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pseudus:
You don't have to. Pie turns it off after a minute or two with nothing connected. See here
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ludeape:
thanks.. but i am also turning on GPS as well, so I want that to be turn off also along with the hotspot.

I created a 2nd routine also with the same bluetooth car device that turns off hotspot and gps, and it actually worked, lol..

I just need to test again to see if its turning off hotspot and gps because routine #1 no longer applies or its actually using the 2nd routine to also turn it off because there is another action with my car bluetooth connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pseudus:
Awesome man, good job!! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ludeape:
Thanks. I actually deleted the 2nd task because I found out that when the condition is no longer in effect, all settings revert to back to the original one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Jammol:
Have you tried using Bixby Quick Commands?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] elyl:
I have an issue with turning the hotspot on automatically for my car head unit. Using Tasker or Good Lock routines, mobile hotspot turns on fine when connecting to the car's bluetooth, however no devices can access the internet through it. I have to go in and manually unlock my phone, and then they connect. Hotspot is on, devices try to connect, get "authentication errors" or unable to obtain IP. If the phone is unlocked, it works fine.

I've tried adding in a screen unlock step in Good Lock, but it doesn't make any difference. Tried setting hotspot up with/without password, but no change. Not sure why I'm having this problem (I had it on my S8, also). Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Jammol:
Do you have a Device Administrator account tied on your device?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] elyl:
Not sure? I have device admin apps, and tasker is enabled in there?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ludeape:
i get this sometimes also, but it works fine most of the time. i think its a timing issue maybe.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ludeape:
Funny this seems to be happening all the time now for me as well. On Oreo I never had this issue with tasker.

On pie using routines it's happening now. Trying to figure out why. Seems if I just toggle hotspot again a 2nd time the radio will connect, even if I lock the phone right after.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] user9082390:
Ditto here. Worked fine with Routines on Oreo, then I made the tragic mistake of upgrading to Pie. Then waited forever to Routines to come out, and it just quite doesn't work the same anymore. Seems like the phone has to be "awake" (not sure the proper term) but the screen needs to be turned on somehow, whether it be with a button press or unlocking or similar. Once the screen comes on, the hotspot is able to be connected to instantaneously. Have tried this numerous times.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] mkanet:
It seems like most of my issues were caused by the phone locking the screen before the automation task can run. It's important to use Smartlock with the bluetooth of your car (to unlock your phone). It works pretty good with the AutoInput Tasker plugin (which is compatible with Smartlock). Also, its important to check %TETHER global variable to make sure your task doesn't erroneously toggle the Hotspot toggle if it's already in the correct state.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ludeape:
Routines works fine on Pie.. you just need to unlock the screen first, and its a timing thing.. so you may need to add one more task before you turn on the hotspot, but it will work fine.

Routines needs to add a delay option i think.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] user9082390:
Hi Ludeape, thank you for your reply. How can I automate unlocking the screen in Routines? If I need to have any interaction with the phone, I may as well just press the mobile hotspot button on the quick settings menu. I'd like it to be automatically turned on the hotspot whenever I get into the car, and my phone can stay in the pocket.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ludeape:
This is exactly how I set it up to turn on mobile hotspot when I get in the car and connect to my radio bluetooth.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] mkanet:
This app sounds like it has the same issue that many people also have here using automation.. It doesn't have direct hardware control over the many phone models' wifi tether function, requiring you to manually turn the Hotspot on and off (defeating the purpose of having the software). You would still need special software like Tasker's AutoInput in these cases. Many phones disable this feature for whatever reason.
