SOLVED

The only way (for me) to root my Pixel 2 XL is follow theese steps:

Rooting with Magisk

NOTE #4: This section assumes you are not going to install TWRP. If you are, skip to the next section and just flash the latest Magisk zip after installing TWRP.

Download the Magisk zip from the official thread and install the manager from the zip.

Grab a boot image to patch (either the one from the latest factory image or a custom kernel one) and push it to your device:

Code:

adb push <path_to_file> /sdcard/Download

Open Magisk Manager and click the Install button.

Click "Install" at the first prompt then choose "Patch Boot Image File". A file manager will pop up.

Select the boot image you want to patch and let Magisk Manager patch it.

Pull it off your device:

Code:

adb pull /sdcard/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img

Reboot into the bootloader:

Code:

adb reboot bootloader

Flash the boot image and reboot.

Code:

fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img

fastboot reboot

Open Magisk Manager and you should be rooted!

Thank you so much to everyone who tried to help me! :cowboy::cowboy::cowboy:

Could you tell me please step by step to get it detected by computer and flash tool.

[General Questions and Answers] BlazzerLazzer:
So first thing is first, get the stock image/flash file you want

Then load the android-scatter in the flash tool, then turn the phone off, all the way, plug into your PC and it will flash it for you

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

Hold the power button til it starts rebooting

The flash tool will find it before it even gets past startup

It'll reset it and your handset will be as good as new, btw, don't get the a3 pro! The OS looks like ****

I'm not positive when it started but I think since I updated to the January patch my pixel 3xl will losing internet connection. It happens several times a day. At first I thought it was random. It might be when I move out of range of wifi and then come back. Cycling wifi on and off doesn't work. LTE doesn't work either. But if I cycle data on and off LTE will work again. Otherwise a full shutdown and restart will fix both. A normal restart doesn't seem to help.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] beavermjr:
I currently have a Galaxy S5 on Verizon's original unlimited data plan. I rooted the phone with Android Lollipop years ago and have been using it ever since. The phone has tons of lag and a lot of apps now require Marshmallow or newer operating system to run. I've been looking at the S10 as my next phone and have a few questions:

1. I rooted my S5 and would naturally like to root the S10. I know that Verizon goes the extra mile to lock the boot loader and to discourage us from rooting. What is my best bet for being able to root? I mean, should I get a developer version or maybe an international version? I do understand that it's a bit premature to be asking such questions, but with the history of Verizon's versions of the Galaxy line, what should I expect? sadly, I haven't keept up with the phone world in a few years.

2. Seeing as the S10 will be a five model jump for me is root even all that necessary any more? I don't install custom ROMS or tweek the phone all that much anyways. Mostly I just need a way to eliminate ads in apps (I use Adaway for this now), a way to remove bloatwear, and a way to back up apps and data (I've been using Titanium backup for this).

3. What can I expect in terms of advances or complications in the newest version of android? What has changed with support for data cards, rooting and the like?

That's it. Now the experts can chime in.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] beavermjr:
The question is... which S10 to get so that I will be able to root? I know Verizon locks the boot loader. Then again, do I really need to root? what would you recommend having moved away from the S4s?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] varcor:
Based on your query it would seem you don't need much customization so getting the device with an lunocked bootloader may not be your best bet. I would expect Samsung to follow it's development the same as previous releases. You should be able to acquire the Exynos or Snapdragon variants with unlocked bootloaders as long as you purchase an International variant. Not sure if it's important to you but based on early benchmarks, the Snapdragon variant has now surpassed the Exynos in processing speeds.

You have bricked your phone. T-MOBILE H932 has different RSA encryption from other North America variants, like US998.

Why would you flash that?

I picked the wrong file since I also own Tmobile H932.

Ouch. Yes.

You should have upgraded to US998 20F, and you could have had DTS 3D stereo...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwombat:
I have this 4k TV that been working like a champ for a while. The only thing I really dislike about it is that it has a wifi module that broadcasts a network you can connect to for chromecast. My first attempt at a solution to this was to disconnect the wifi module.

Once the wifi module was disconnected though, it started to reboot every 15 minutes. So I made a hardware hack to switch the wifi module on for about 5 seconds. this was enough for it to show up in /dev on the android system and not cause a reboot.

Only problem now is that this fix was implemented a few years ago...and now the wireless card has stopped working.

Anyways, I was able to reverse engineer the only update I can find online:

http://tvna.compal-toshiba.com/ca/en/download/?series=499&model=505

In there, I found a json script, and I'm able to set the option to just disable wifi. Only issue is, repacking it is a bit of an issue. I get some errors when I extract the lzma files that are stored in that update file (seems to just be a standard shell script). Does anyone out there know a good way to repack files for a toshiba system? They seem really similar to MSTAR style bins?

Edit: Well, I was able to reverse the filesystems, fix the script that was causing a reboot every 15 mins, and package the filesystems back into a new update file. Sadly, all the filesystem blobs have to be signed...and that sounds like a major headache to figure out if it's even possible to somehow self sign...guess it's back to the hardware hack then?

The question posed is vague, with no answer. You think devs set out to make ROMs that are incomplete and with lots of bugs? What constitutes the "best" ROM is completely subjective. And how "complete", "stable" and/or "buggy" is vary drastically based on personal usage patterns.

I have a A2017U that I just downgraded to B35 using this guide: https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-axon-7-universal-unbrick-t3814413

I want to lock the bootloader to stop the annoying boot warning but can't get into fastboot when using AXON7TOOLKIT.

I tried flashing A2017U_FASTBOOT_UNLOCK_EDL (downloaded from https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/how-to/complete-guide-to-unlocking-installing-t3561128) through miFlash but I still can't get into the bootloader.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
You only want to lock it because of the boot warning? There are flashables to get rid of that... I dom't know which exact files there are for stock B35 or Oreo but there are some going around.

hell you could even go custom and use the splash bootstack if you wanted.

If you want to lock anyways, you have to get an A2017U B19 package and flash it via EDL Tool (or MiFlash). Right after that you'll have fastboot. enable oem unlocking then enter fastboot and issue fastboot oem lock and you're done. But it's way too overkill if you want to just get rid of the 5 sec screen

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] emzmc:
Hi everyone.\

My new phone screen has died. It is completely black and being under a month old the supplier has agreed to replace it for me.

The only problem is I would like to back up my data before sending it back as it has sentimental photos of my child's first Christmas.

I thought I had selected- back up to cloud but while checking my gmail account this doesn't seem to be the case, I also didnt select enable usb debugging either.

Because of this, as you can imagine, I can't access my phone via my pc at all. All extraction apps also require the usb debugging to be enabled and because my screen is completely blank I cant do this.

I have tried casting and mirroring my phone too, with the hope of being able to actually see the screen I could select what I need to and then use hi suite to retrieve my data, but again as I cant see the screen I cant give permissions or downloads apps for android etc

I am at a complete lost, and literally have tried everything I can think off.

Please can someone help save the day!

If you are willing, have patience and know how to deal with custom roms - yeah, it's a gr8 device with some issues (I don't like the vibration motor, lol)

If you want to buy it just for the official "very vell supported" android one experience - forget it... and in my opinion - forget about MI3. Buy Pixel or at least Nokia.

Now I'm rocking AOSP Extended ROM + Gcam + Lawnchair V2 Alpha + QuickSwitch Magisk Module. And device feels very smooth.

Also we just got Ressurection Remix 7.0, so I'm keeping an eye on it. ROM support is awesome here, and it keeps coming.

But... on custom ROM I haven't found a way to get a stable camera yet...

I used MI Cam, Gcam - and they have bugs... None of them support 60 FPS + EIS recording.

This is nr. 1 thing that's missing for me right now... normal bugless camera.
