[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] caihuire:
It is about the same as the U12+. The only difference I've spotted are the special back cover (totally transparent. Very cool!) and the Zion app. I was also sceptical when I ordered and was pleasantly surprised when it arrived.

The software is still in need of some tweaks though. The cameras, for example, are lacking the bokeh mode that HTC listed in the specs, and the company promised to fix that in the upcoming update.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] pixelvisions:
It's only been a day or two but I haven't noticed any difference from my U12+. It seems exactly the same, just nicer looking thanks to the slick semi-transparent back cover. (And there's a cracked screen on my U12+, of course.) Didn't realize it was lacking bokeh mode.

I wasn't paying attention when I set it up and unlocked the bootloader without understanding how to make a backup first, so now I'm locked out of system updates and trying to find the firmware posted somewhere.

I'm curious to see if Sunshine will S-OFF an Exodus and if so whether it will run a U12+ ROM. Regardless, given the similarity and the small user base, I hope the Exodus has a home on this forum.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Technically both are the exact same device, thus the Exodus and U12+ even got the same MID 2Q55X0000 for the variants. As far as I got, asking my way from one to another whom received it, they told me some more things, e.g. that even the CIDs are the same. Zion actually seems to be an OS and the Android App thus is kind of a virtual machine that it all up. As Zion is using the TEE and TrustZone of the SD845 SoC, I guess one could convert an Exodus into a U12+ and the other way round. But we'll have to wait for the first Exodus RUU to get leaked if we want to be sure. The other way round we cannot try either, as some already told that software version on the Exodus 1 is something like 1.43. and some already got an update onto 1.47. so no chance as U12+ RUUs are all below, running 1.30. or the like.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] MNoisy:
VERY interesting. I am also dealing with the cracked screen dilemma. Subscribed to the thread...

Is there really no difference?
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] pixelvisions:
Yes... but now the Exodus is out of stock. I hope this isn't the end already.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:

[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] caihuire:
ETH price is on the rise again and it's now about 1.5 times the price than when I ordered mine. Still cheaper than the usual U12+ with 128gb ROM though
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Tachi91:
If the CID and MID are identical then the RUUs would work since that's exactly what stops it from flashing. Besides the version number that might halt the process if its older.

So the phones are identical besides the apps and it's different use of the SD845. Unless HTC manages to push out an update where it changes the CID/MID.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] caihuire:
HTC just released new firmware for both U12+ and the Exodus 1. Interestingly the version numbers are fairly similar:

U12+: 1.53.709.1

Exodus 1: 1.53.709.2

Thanks and all the best for 2019

[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] pixelvisions:
Sadly I am an idiot and didn't make a backup before unlocking the bootloader and installing Magisk. I've been scouring the web for an RUU since then and haven't found a thing. I might S-OFF and try U12+ firmware instead.

[MENTION=676363]caihuire[/MENTION] [MENTION=1354929]CenFlo[/MENTION] can you help?
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
No problem, even this very dump of /vendor and /system would still help mate. If it'd be untouched that would be great, but nevertheless even a dump from your rooted device will help.

https://mega.nz/#!XB5yHa5C!d3dCcDkzYLE7xVcG8D85oBBU753BKWzYv9g5vCD04sk

I noticed my MID and CID were the same as the USA variant of the U12+, so I tried flashing the RUU for 1.30.617.2 -- and it worked! I'm S-ON too. I don't think I can go back to Exodus though. I noticed TWRP refuses to overwrite the vendor partition, but maybe it is something else. I was able to revert to Exodus apps but ADB wouldn't work -- didn't press further.

Imagine my surprise to find CryptoKitties on the other side. Sheesh.

[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] VidJunky:
I got my U12 in June or July and first cracked the back glass which was easy enough to fix my self. Then a month or so latter I cracked the screen, and as I had opted for the big one unlocked I couldn't see throwing way a G and picking up something new. I searched and searched for a screen but none were available anywhere. I heard rumor that there was a vendor in India but never found them. I checked ever couple of weeks and finally I found some for sale right after Christmas. There were 2 vendors and seriously like a handful of screens between them. I got mine yesterday and spent a few hours changing it out. I had been in the forums and saw countless people complaining about long indefinite waits with HTC. Many of them getting the run around it sounded like and going weeks without a phone while they waited. It was the hardest screen replacement I've ever done but seeing it light up, it was also the most rewarding.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] pixelvisions:
Ah, that's good to hear!! I bought a replacement screen on eBay from a China seller. Going to drop it off at a shop where they can swap it out for me.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] aga2:
Hi to HTC Exodus owners! I ordered an exodus device because it seemed cheap at the day of purchase (about 340 €)

The device may arrive in the following days, so I search now about how to root and keep the OTAs update work.

My last HTC device was an ancient HTC desire, so I am not sure about any S-on/off & A/B slot partition issues :p

I 'm thinking for the following first steps as a safe-guard before any rooting etc:

1) No wifi, no updates at the beginning

2) unlock boot loader (need to find out how)

3) boot with twrp (not flash). Backup all partitions, save twrp backup and all sdcard files to pc.

With these steps I suppose that I can revert to factory state if any problem exists. I hope that somehow is possible to be rooted and have the OTA updates.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] rokerto91:
When did you buy the exodus??? 340€ ???
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] aga2:
First days of December after the dump, eth price was around 72€ and exodus price was 4.78 eth :)
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Tachi91:
If you're ever in the market for a decent priced new U12+, it is the Exodus 1.

Im sure there are websites and apps that report the prices of BitCoin and other digital currencies. Set it to alert you of drops. You might get yourself a very good deal if it keeps fluctuating. HTC is reporting backorders for the Exodus 1 and it might be because of people taking advantage of the price difference.

I won't be surprised if eventually they mark it as sold out with no new stock. Selling something based solely on digital currency can lead to a huge loss on their end.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] aga2:
I just read somewhere that even a boot with TWRP breaks OTA, but a new codefix may fix this in future version of twrp: https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/1301

So the question is: what can I do when i get the device in order to make a backup before any patching/rooting etc?
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Tachi91:
So I guess even when initially prompted by TWRP if you would like to mount system as read only or read/write. It has already mounted /system as R/W and broke MD5/system verify.

twrp-3.2.3-3-ime was released 2018-12-31 with the fix committed 6 days ago.

So unless you have an RUU and still wish to receive OTAs. Avoid TWRP for the time being.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] pixelvisions:
As far as I can tell there is no way to get OTA after root. I wish I had created a RUU before doing so, but maybe that wasn't even possible without breaking OTA.

The good news is that you can overwrite the ROM with a U12+ RUU. (I used CID 001.) Those updates are much easier to find. You lose the Exodus ROM, but I wasn't too enthused about their crypto solution anyway.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] aga2:
I just got the exodus, looks very nice & quality device :p

I 'll start with bootloader unlock, then 'll wait for next twrp version to boot & get all partitions backup. If it breaks OTA then 'll take the U12+ ruu way, I don't care much about their wallet also :good:
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] aga2:
If bootloader is unlocked, zion wallet refuses to start (a message that the device is rooted/modified appears :p), even if its not rooted...

So an exodus phone must be full stock/bootloader locked. Anything else turns it to a U12+ :D
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
That's actually normal. Soon everything will be locked down, due to security
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] aga2:
Even if bootloader is relocked, zion wallet refuses to start (no modifications between unlock - relock) :D

This seems more like security through obscurity :p

A real hardware wallet with Secure Element must be designed so that it can be used on insecure computer OS, just keep the crypto private keys on SE protected and the user funds safe as long as the user checks the recipient address when make a transaction

Could anyone kindly provide U12+ ruu with latest version? Current exodus version is 1.53.2401.2 , security patch 1 Dec 2018

Edit: I see on xda that only older ruus exist, hope that my unlock/relock experiments didn't break OTA functionality.

[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Organics:
Hello everyone.

So I upgraded to Pie like three weeks ago or so, and something that didn't quite make sense was the new recent apps design. The moto x4 doesn't have the biggest of all screens, so a horizontal recent apps was, let's say, less than efficient.

Luckily for us there's an easy way to bring back the vertical recent apps design. To do so we first need to install a third party launcher (personal favourite is nova launcher prime ), then we need to deactivate moto's stock launcher. I think we can do that directly from Settings>Apps>Show system apps and deactivating moto launcher; I did it via root explorer, the launcher apk is located in /system/priv-app/Launcher3QuickStep , in there is a file named (you guessed it) Launcher3QuickStep.apk, all you need to do is change the name to Launcher3QuickStep.apk1 or some shoot like that. Reboot and voilá, vertical stacked recent apps.

Hope this helps, cheers.
