[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] TiTiB:
I've unlocked bootloader, rooted [then unrooted] using Magisk, and want to install Resurrection Remix from OpenKirin.com, but cannot get in to FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE in order to do so--as per their instructions.

Holding VOL DOWN while plugging in PC-connected USB brings up the "unlocked bootloader warning screen", the one with orange writing where you have 5 seconds before boot continues, or hold PWR for 3 seconds to go into FACTORY RESET, etc. THEN the tablet continues it's normal boot. Could be a timing thing, but nothing us working.

Have done a lot of searching, but can't find an answer...beginning to suspect I'll have to perform full reset, but don't want to if I don't have to.

Any help much appreciated...even if it's bad news

EDIT: D'oh! Just used the good ol' USB cable and "adb reboot bootloader" command.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] dbilodeau:
Hey all,

Picked up a Pixel 2 back in August from the Verizon Store. November OTA came through and it went bad - real bad. Bricked the device. I contacted Google and they confirmed it was indeed a brick. So I RMA'd it.

They replaced it with what seems like a brand new Pixel 2. Black 128GB. Same phone.

I didn't hook it up to WiFi. I didn't pop in my old SIM. Powered it up and enabled Developer Options.

Unlock Bootloader is NOT greyed out! :good:

I understand people can get lucky and cop an older VZW Pixel 2, not hook it to WiFi or mobile and sideload the stock image, but here's the deal with this RMA'd device:

Android Version: 8.1.0

Android Security Patch Level: May 5, 2018

Build Number: OPM2.17019.029.B1

Isn't that build too high to be a VZW phone w/ that unlockable bootloader option toggle? Shouldn't VZW have patched the developer option by now? Shouldn't Unlock Bootloader be greyed out if this was a VZW phone? Did I get an unlocked, Play Store Pixel 2 in return?

How else can I verify? If I run the bootloader, it does say:

Console: DISABLED

Secure Boot: yes (PRODUCTION)

Device State: locked

Is this okay?

How do I make sure I keep it unlocked if it still could become a VZW phone? Should I flash the latest stock image from Google or is that overkill?

Thanks very much for your help in advance.

-D
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] AsuraDas:
Don't get too excited, my pixel 2 was RMA'd 2x and can not unlock bootloader. By all accounts I should be able too. I am able to toggle oem unlock, and everything else indicates that I can...however, once I try it fails and on developer settings it's greyed out. Only way to know for sure is to try
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] dbilodeau:
Thanks for the reply, AsuraDas. That's disappointing. I'm going to give this a go today. I'll let you know what I find.

I'm debating on what stock image I should push. The same one that's on the device? The newest? What did you do? I see another thread that is similar to mine - I'm going to poke around that one and wing it if I don't hear from anyone more familiar with this than I.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] dbilodeau:
NOPE!

Ha. I definitely have a locked bootloader. How deceptive.

I tried to flash the stock google image, same build that's on there now. No luck.

Tried to fastboot and unlock bootloader. Not allowed. :)

Oh well! :)

Hello to all

i am thinking about buying the Gear VR 2018 for the note9.

is it worthit buying it or should i choose other option?

what are the advantages about gear VR? maybe exclusive features for samsung users?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] BigMosley:
IMO even the latest VR is still pretty bad regarding being very pixelation and bad clarity. The only real time I can see myself using it is on a airplane to watch a movie and very occasionally playing a game. I really wish the experience was better but seeing how you're putting this phone half inch away from your face I don't see how it couldn't look bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] gamekill:
I don't know about exclusive features, I guess just some stuff like Samsung Internet working on it or, Gallery app..

But for mobile VR in general it is nice.

I was divided between getting an Oculus Go or the Gear, but, the Go has the 64GB storage while my Note 9 offers 512gb, so more games and movies on it while not worrying that much about space. Also, it cost me 1/3 of the price.

Then from what I have read, both options (Note 9 Gear, or Oculus Go) run the same games/apps from Oculus Store. That was the deciding factor for me. No Oculus Go exclusives, so why bother.

One could argue that while my Gear and/or Note 9 will be left behing in a near future, when I change phones, or a new/better mobile VR solution is released like the Oculus Quest etc. At that time the Oculus Go as a standalone product would still have some use, even if just gifting it away to someone or storing is for future nostalgia. But idk.. I just don't care about that with this specific niche (first gen mobile VR).

One thing though.. I had a Dome glass cover perfectly installed, and ruined the bottom part of it (small 1mm x 10mm area on the bottom center). Because I used my Note 9 with the old adapter, as I have not yet gotten the new, proper adapter, so it forced the screen a bit. Be sure to use the proper adapter, even though it works without it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] mclaudio:
thanks a lot for the feedback.

it helped me a lot... i think that maybe it is not yet the time to invest in this tech :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] ricksastro:
Got the Gear VR free with my Note 9 last month. It works well, tracks well and is immersive. Main thing I have to worry about it the wife taking pictures of me with it on and posting to my friends and family :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] DeVilio:
I also have gear vr headset and here in Poland there is very big troble in getting that proper connector, no one here knows anything about that connector, when we will gets it and if it will be available here. So for now for me there is no VR experience with Note9. And on the other hand i am still waiting for some "magician" build device that can have it`s own 2k resolution screens (one for each eye) but device that can use power and other resources from phone. That would be great because phone manufacturers don`t have to mount 4k screens in their products just to have enough PPI density for best vr experience. I know, i know, dreams for now but maybe reality in future?

How to deal with twrp which suddenly appears prompted to enter encrypted passwords and storage internal storage memory unreadable alias 0.

How to Overcome TWRP Encrypted Passwords Without a PC

It turned out that the password encrypt page appeared because there was indeed a bug in the series 3 * *. * Twrp, this was realized by Twrp so they advised us to use twrp version 3.2 * so that there is no request for this encrypted password.

Okay, let's see how to fix encrypted password problems at twrp

1. First you don't want your cellphone to be rooted

Even though your internal storage is not readable on Twitter, just calm down, there is still external storage that can be used to store root files.

Use the appropriate root method for your device, whether it's using supersu, magisk, or a special cusrom plugin like in LineageOs

Download the supersu / magisk / patch root file and place it on the sdcard or external memory buddy

Please do the root process via twrp according to your device, here catatandroid does not discuss how to root please use the usual method for each of your cellphones.

2. After the root changes TWRP fix the Encrypted Bug via the application

Download twrp version 3.2.3- *, make sure the version must be 3.2. *

Download the Flashify application

Then flash twrp 3.2 with the flashify application

Done! please enter the recovery mode, then there will be no more encrypted password requests, because the old twrp who has an encrypted bug has been replaced with the latest twrp, which has been fixed encrypted password.

This method successfully on the Xiaomi Redmi 4x Santoni with Lineage Os, the root method uses the Addonsu Lineage Os patch, and twrp installation 3.2.3-1 using the flashify application.

For bloggers and youtuber friends who want to review this article please include a source in the form of a live link, so note share tips fix decrypt twrp password. Good luck and thank you!

yesterday I bought a cheap used Nexus 7. The problem with the Nexus is that it gets stuck with the Google logo.

Hello psiphi,

no i can't reach the bootloader mode. It always stuck at the Google logo. :/

Just for Info:

It's look like that the bootloader is unlocked. There is a padlock on the screen under the Google logo. Is this info necessary?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TNSMANI:
If the padlock shows up as locked, as in your attachment, it means that the bootloader is locked.

Do you mean to say that holding power and volume up or down buttons ends in the Google screen only?

[General Questions and Answers] Jack_Rickwood:
Your probably gonna laugh at me, but i was just wondering if it would be feasible to port or emulate the nintendo switch's os on a mobile device. Most phones are armvi, the same as the swutch's cpu. Obviously you wouldnt be able to run games, as you would still need to emulate the gpu, but would this be possible. Sorry, im a bit of a noob.
[General Questions and Answers] Atifbaig786:
I don't think so.The GPU is the problem.Android phones have weaker battery conservative ones while gaming consoles have beasts.The same reason why we can't emulate ps games on android.But in near future virtualization could be possible for anything.
[General Questions and Answers] Jack_Rickwood:
We can emulate ps games on android tho, even psp and ps2 ones. I know you wont be able to run any games, but im talking about the os itself.
[General Questions and Answers] Atifbaig786:
That is rookie stuff.The GPU gets complex and powerful and if you get to know about virtualization you will realize the GPU causes crazy **** if you try to containerize it i.e virtualize it.Apparently companies made sure that emulates weren't possible in the best way.It's been ages since ps3 is dead but we don't have a 100 functional emualtor or virtualizer for it.And that is on a machine that has hyper-v in their cpus.You can't.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Sure, "in theory", the OS "might" be port-able, but that would be a waste of time and would probably brick some devices in the process of working bugs out. It would just be a lot of time, effort and money wasted.

You "could" "in theory", port the firmware from your TV remote control to work on an android device, but WHY would you? It is the sane scenario with the idea of porting the N-Switch OS. A completely bone-headed idea that isn't even worth the time that it takes to ask the question.

A more reasonable idea is to use a N-Switch emulator. Less risk of bricking devices trying to figure it out plus you would actually be able to play games.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you meant PS3 can't be emulated, then you should have specified. The way you posted was as if none of the PS systems can be emulated, that is far from the truth.

Even the PS3 emulator on PC is not that great, some games are playable but barely. I've tried several games they claim are playable but they are really slow and don't consistently load.

And that's on my 4790k system with 32GB RAM. Granted, a graphics card would be an improvement but that would pretty much only give a higher FPS, it wouldn't be much help on the games that are glitchy while loading.
[General Questions and Answers] Atifbaig786:
I just checked the specifications on the switch and it has a few chances of being able to run on Android considering it's a arm device.But the GPU is Nvidia which doesn't play along well with linux and it is tegra that is found in not many devices.But if you managed to somehow run it on android I don't think the bootloader is designed to handle some OS like that.I tried to boot a halium device using the same kernel as android with changed iniramfs and it didn't boot due to lack of 4 lines of code that specifies That in order to run the OS we need to have the same hardware as well as the bootloader which isn't possible.So,the second option is to emulate it.In the past golden age companies didn't care about emulators and made good stuff that was well designed and managed easily but with the rise of the Steam and the internet gaming they got mad and tried their best to mix the gpu and cpu more weirdly in order to degrade or slow emulation not that they could stop it.Plus every new games treats the hardware differently in order to extract every ounce of performance out of it starting from ps3.And you can very possibly emulate the OS in a container running on a device.But here's the twist,Virtualization in android has 50-80% loss in performance and with kvm can be minimized to 20-30 and thus brings us to the end where you don't have the hardware which you will emulate again slowing it down.So you need atleast snapdragon 935 or higher to do that stuff that is if developers arer willing.

I've a TA-1055 in the UK and haven't had an update since the August security patch 8.1.

I know others have the Android 9 update but I'm still waiting for the OTA to arrive. There are some features I like in the latest version but there are plenty of posts on here about problems and how to rollback to 8.1.

Like with every version if updates go smoothly and all working fine then yes updating is always recommended but Pie still seems buggy over all.

Is it worth upgrading yet?

Don't know if it is worth upgrading. I am also in UK on TA-1055 Oreo 8.1 but Oct security patch which came OTA. Still no sign of OTA update to 9 and HMD support is useless regarding info about UK versions getting it. They keep saying it takes time to roll out.
