I removed the screen protector from my P20 Pro and kept using it for months without any scratches. But on the Mate 20 X I removed the protector last week and now I have two big scratches. Maybe because the phone is larger so it is more prone for scratches.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] ghos_:
I just gotten a mate 20 x, still with factory film, would like to ask, how does it actually affect the screen quality with and without it? Reason being I feel like there is visible "pixels" or fonts looking a bit jaggedly as compared on my other devices, I'm not sure if its due to the lower PPI (FHD on a 7.2 screen) or because of the factory film..

I compared it with a similar PPI device (8.4 inch 2k OLED display, 358ppi vs mate 20x 7.2 inch FHD 346ppi AMOLED) and the 8.4 inch device seems to look better and "higher quality" when looking at the fonts
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] BigDisplay:
First thing i always do when i have a new phone with screen protoctor is removing it and then install a good piece of Nilkin glass protection.

I never had a phone without this and without a flip cover to... And i never will.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] ghos_:
Ok just removed my plastic protector, took a look at the screen without anything on then pasted on a nillkin glass.. it does look a tad clearer, but pixels are still somewhat visible, i guess its not the plastic or glass issue, it simply is due to the low PPI count, probably just not used it to (coming from the 6.6 inch honor note 8 with 443 ppi amoled), but overall its still a really good screen

But at least now it is protected by another physical piece of glass and is much smoother, can definitely say that nillkin glass and coating is good, fits and blends in well with the provided TPU case
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] JirkaToksa:
I didn't dare to remove the stock protector yet.

But: did anybody have a chance to compare using the M-Pen on phone WITH and WITHOUT the original screen protector?

And how the M-PEN works if 3rd party tempered glass is used?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] BigDisplay:
I tried it with all the 3 options and honestly, i dont feel any difference at all.

Now i use it with a cheap an effective panzer glass from Aliexpress... And its just working goooddd [emoji1305]
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] lortwarCECH:
I haven't remove screen protector yet, but i find one very bad thing. My m-pen can sometimes made micro scratches on screen protector(only visible at some angle of light).

i ordered some tempered glass and new screen protectors from aliexpress.

preinstalled screen protector is really bad.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] JirkaToksa:
You mean even the M-Pen works fine with the PanzerGlass?

Is it able to detect all the 4096 levels of pressure? You don't have to press harder if you want to draw a thick line?

And one more question: I'm considering removal of the stock screen protector and leaving the display without any protection (because the phone is permanently in flip case). And the question is: wouldn't the usage of M-Pen lead to scratches eventually?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Djsmalls:
I recently removed the stock screen protector and wow what a difference the screen is silky smooth and feels much better.

I did try to apply a glass protector but both times came out wrong with bubbles in the center so I have decided to go naked with the original kickstand case
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] BigDisplay:
Yes it works perfect with the panzerglass as i have right now.

And it works fine to draw a thick line to yes... All is fine.

"And the question is: wouldn't the usage of M-Pen lead to scratches eventually" this i dont have any experience with. But saw in here some days ago a guy telling about this and when he hold the phone in a special angle he could see some small scratches on the display.

The pen is more hard in the end vs the Sammy pen what i remember.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] freeza:
Nope. I hate them too. Crappier glass on top of better glass. Lol
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Pointmanipo:
I personally use Clearcoat from Mobile Outfitters, front and back No Case. They have all kinds of film and skins for every phone.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] _sC:
I agree. What a difference.

I used to remove the pre-installed screen protectors on my previous phones, but I too, was a bit scared of ruining this massive 7.2" screen when I first got it.

This is bigger than the previous phones, and this was certainly more expensive than the previous phones.

If you are careful with your phones, I would say you should be fine from all these unwanted scratches.

Some people are so careless, they even put their keys in the same pocket as their phones, and they complain about their phones getting damaged. :eek::eek::rolleyes::rolleyes::confused::confused:

For the person saying the M-pen is scratch your screen protector, please remember that this pre-installed screen protector is still only plastic. the tip of the M-Pen is plastic. it IS going to scratch.

Lastly, the number one thing ANY of these screen protectors CANNOT beat, whether it be a film, or tempered glass screen protector, is the oleophobic coating these phones now come with. It was great a few years back, it is even better today.

Minimal fingerprints, and the fingertip gliding feel is unmatched.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] amgreenhawk:
I think people should keep some sort of screen protector - either the pre-installed film which IMHO is very good, or a 3rd party film or a tempered glass. Most tempered glass products nowadays are very good and protect the actual screen from scratches. And feels premium too. My AmazingThing tempered glass - so called Supreme Glass, feels nice finger glides smoothly and feel cool to touch too.

I'm sure many boast that they never had scratches after long time of use, but I am sure the scratch marks WILL be there when looked carefully.

Protecting an expensive device is a logical decision.

But sure, to each their own.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] kaonxdad:
Had my factory protector on for the first 4 months or so, then removed it, and it has been 2 months without any screen protector.

The screen feels and looks better.

On hindsight I might have removed it on day 1.

The problem remains that the touch sensing is just laggy, jerky, and glitchy. No difference with or without protector.

Do scrolling tests beside an iPhone to see the difference.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] QuboidRC:
I have bricked my new Pixel 3 XL after trying to root it.

I used the Magisk guide here and got as far as part 2 step 12, i.e. the last step of the actual process. When the phone rebooted, I got the expected bootloader unlocked warning, then the white loading screen for a long time, then a message saying that the system failed to load with Try Again / Hard Reset (or something to that effect) options. Choosing Try Again just repeated this boot process, choosing Hard Reset wiped the phone and then repeated the process.

I went through this about 10 times, then the phone didn't boot at all. Nothing on-screen, no connection with adb. When I tried a few hours later, I got a low battery warning icon (the phone was about about 80% when I started the process). After letting it charge for a few hours, I again get nothing on-screen. It also doesn't boot into the bootloader.

If it can't be fixed, what's the RMA status for phones that might be rooted and definitely have an unlocked bootloader?

It was a really nice phone for a few hours :crying:
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jd1639:
Google actually tells you how to unlock the bootloader so that's not an issue. Just tell them it died while you were try to do a factory reset which is the truth. You shouldn't have an issue with Google and an RMA.

But, there is another thread on here which had the same issue and the phone was able to be revived. I'll see if I can find it.

Edit, see this https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3874820
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] QuboidRC:
That helps. Using his guide, I eventually got the bootloader to appear with Power + Volume Down. But at step 25, Power + Volume Up doesn't get any response.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] hatdrc:
I would download the factory images, put the phone in bootloader and run flash all

You already did a factory reset so chances are you lost anything that was on it.

Edit: Also I'm sure you did already but make sure your adb and fastboot are up to date on your computer
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] boostedduece:
+1 I don't think the phone is hard bricked, I did this 2 times already when flashing ROMs, sometimes bootloader would not load without trying a few times.

Flash-all will get you running.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] yanowman:
Follow the path !

Use the guide the guys have already posted in this thread.

I also bricked my phone the EXACT same way

Here's my one tip. If for some reason the guide to unbricking isn't working, either use a different cable, or a different computer (if possible).

Also when I bricked my phone last, the only thing it would do was boot into fastboot mode (power button + volume down ), so have faith and follow the UN brick guide !

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

Use THIS GUIDE instead when you unbrick it and want to root your new pixel!

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] QuboidRC:
But how? Power + Volume Up doesn't do anything so I don't know how to get my phone to connect to my PC.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] hatdrc:
You need to do power and volume -.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] UniX1rm:
If you can get to the bootloader screen, that means you're not bricked. Also, there is slot a and b. When you download the factory image, you need to make sure you have it flashed on both slots a and b. You can get to the bootloader screen, correct?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] QuboidRC:
I can get to the bootloader, now that I know how. Also, I had mistakenly thought that Power + Volume Up was needed to connect to my PC; I can use fastboot!

I can now get as far as step 32 in the repair guide I mentioned: running flash-all.bat. Running the batch file just flashes a tiny command prompt window for a fraction of a second, making no change to my device - Command Prompts seem a bit unreliable in Windows 10 (Update: I got command prompt to work, flash-all.bat does exactly the same thing), so I loaded the bat file in a text editor, and ran the commands at the Windows 10 PowerShell. The last command threw some errors:

> .\fastboot.exe -w update .\image-crosshatch-pq1a.181205.006.zip

When I reboot, the phone loads to the bootloader and says "Enter reason: error booting boot.img" the first time. Rebooting, or booting the phone from off, then shows the bootloader immediately with the "Enter reason: no valid slot of boot". Basically, it looks like a phone that works, but has no OS installed.

I don't know how to set what slot is being flashed.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jd1639:
Do you have the latest sdk platform tools? I'm pretty sure that's your problem. You need version r28.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] QuboidRC:
That fixed it! I had been using the latest Minimal ADB and Fastboot, not the Android SDK Platform Tools. I'm at new-phone start page ("Hi there" / language choice/ vision settings).

Thank you very much for the help, everyone. You've saved Christmas! :highfive:
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jd1639:
Glad you got it running. The platform tools changed with pie and a lot of people haven't updated. It's been the root cause of most of the flashing issues.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] dipstik:
try using power shell instead of command. i forget what my issue was but power shell gave me better luck, but you have to do the entire path even if your in the directory
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jd1639:
I'd recommend you put the sdk tools, fastboot and adb, in a directory. Then set a path to it in environment variables (windows). That way adb and fastboot are available no matter what directory your working in. It saves a lot of coping files and it's not as messy.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] FernBch:
I used the ADB and Fastboot from r28 but did not install the SDK. If using command prompt, run it as an Admin (right click, run as Admin). Works flawlessly for me. As far as ADB and Recovery goes the only time it works is when you enable sideload mode. None of the normal ADB commands work.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Dodolom:
I followed every step but still no luck. Just the google logo during startup and it stays there. I will leave it on that screen all night and report back but very doubtful

As to how I got into this mess...I rooted all fine, installed a custom rom and magisk. All great but then I decided to install a custom kernel for some reason which did it for me. I downloaded the EX Kernel Manager and installed the kernel within the app which got me to this mess.

You guys think I am screwed?

Edit: After trying and trying....I am up and running again.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Daisymae:
I am now in the same shape. How did you get up and running? I have the latest platform tools. I had a custom ROM with TWRP and Magisk all working well. Then I tried a new ROM. Big mistake. I can get to fastboot without any problem. I loaded the stock December and it went without a hitch. Now stuck on Google logo.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jd1639:
What new rom did you try?

Did you flash the factory image with the flash-all batch file? And if so did you remove the -w?

Can you get into the stock recovery? If so try doing a factory reset on it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Daisymae:
Got it straightened out. Had to run flash-all.sh WITH the -w even though it wiped my phone. The ROM was Havoc ROM. Sure lived up to its name.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jd1639:
I'm glad you got it sorted. I kind of figured you'd have to wipe the device.

[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] hikari_calyx:
Here's how to root:

1. Extract the D1C-0-6120-00CN-boot.img from my homebrew firmware written in previous guide, or extract the boot.img from the OTA package.

(Later versions will also provide the patched boot image)

2. Copy this boot.img to Download directory.

3. Install latest Magisk Manager from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases

Remember to allow all the permission after installed.

4. Choose "Left Hamburger Menu" - "Settings" - "Update Channel" - "Custom", and type following URL:

https://dwz.cn/5I3anBD4

5. Back to Magisk Manager main interface, refresh it and check if latest version changed to 17.1.

Tap "Install" - "Install" - "Patch Boot Image", "Left Hamburger Menu" - "Download" - the boot img you copied.

And wait for the patching procedure complete.

6. Copy patched_boot.img from the Download directory of internal storage to PC.

7. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode and execute following commands:

.\fastboot reboot-bootloader
.\fastboot boot D:\patched_boot.img

8. Open Magisk Manager, reinstall Magisk 17.1 directly.

9. Reboot your phone and all done.

Is this procedure familiar? Yes, it's the same method used on Nokia 7 Plus. But I wrote this guide to tell you few details that you need to notice.

Hope TWRP can be compiled for D1C-6120.
[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] taicracker:
If you have already unlocked the bootloader then just flash the official TWRP for Nokia 6 and flash the Magisk v17.1 or 17.3 via TWRP normally. And TWRP 3.2.3.0 works well on Android P. I tested it and it works fine.

[Nokia 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] self_slaughter:
Finally got the official pie update on my TA-1033. (unlocked bootloader)

The standard versions of TWRP 3.2.3.0 / Magisk 17.3 / Magisk Manager 6.0.1 worked perfectly.

As above, "fastboot boot" doesn't work, but "fastboot flash" etc. does.

Happy days. ;)
