It is correct but if your device does not have root or is not found with an advanced recovery that is the solution.

Hello, I just purchased a used Pixel 2XL and it didn't come with a Quick Switch Adapter. Can a USB C to micro USB cord be used the same way to connect my S7 Edge to my P2XL so I can transfer my data? I see those are available on Amazon and am not sure where to buy original P2XL access.

Apparently after updating the oneplus laucher app, the navigation gesture home action stops working and my system update page crashes. Flashing Oxygen OS and not updating the launcher in play store fixes the problem. But it is still not the updated app. I use Magisk and Substratum on Oxygen OS. I've cleared cache both app and phone.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] TheDevGuy9497:
I have a p20 pro clt-l29 I believe

Upgraded to Pie,

FRP is now locked, bootloader is relocked and I cannot send fastboot commands.

Just seen about the boston issue and thought that might be the reason why, if I can't sort this out I'm probably just going to get a Mi8 but really don't want to waste the p20 pro

I have attached the thing that has me curious if this is the issue.

Please help me ?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] TheDevGuy9497:
Anyone able to confirm this is the boston issue?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] tamaskurti:
I think is the official bootloader version.

Chipset boston, or balong (older) was the chipset manufacturer name or some related names.

However, if under About Phone it not appears the chipset-boston, just the normal firmware name (for example: CLT-AL00C00E57R1P15B181 (9.0.0.181) or some of that), it means that all is fine.

or just use the built-in internet sharing app...with my sprint mogul with the new stock rom, it works perfectly on either setting (sprintpcs or phone as modem) for tethering. wmwifirouter is good too. tethering with the usb cable is fastest for me, yielding speedtest.net test score of 1630 kb/s down and 374 kb/s up. But even an old usb bluetooth 1.1 dongle got me around 900kb/s down and 300kb/s up (all using the built-in internet sharing app). wmwifirouter gets me about 1200kb/s down and 300 kb/s up (plenty for my ipod or friends with iphones and their archaic edge). the phone gets really hot using the wifi if you keep it plugged in (not so with bluetooth or just tethering).

Hey there, I decided to try out the beta but I'm looking to revert to stock Oreo so I can get Pie through OTA. However I have no clue how to do it, I've read a couple threads referencing this but I can't seem to piece together what needs to be done.

Would someone be so kind to post step by step instructions on what I need to do? I'm pretty techy so just basic instructions would be a great help. Thanks and have a great day!

Download CRK1 with the SamFirm tool

Flash it with patched ODIN 3.13.1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MrMike2182:
Download this firmware crk1 from here https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603879881 extract the files and you'll see inside of the extracted folder more files that have .md5 on the end of them right click on the files and click rename and just delete the .md5 part only and leave it so it still has the .tar on the end then use the REGULAR NEWEST version of Odin NOT the patched one and then load the files in their respective places AP to AP, BL to BL etc. etc. Then just flash it to the phone while the phone is in download mode and after the successful flash boot into recovery mode and select factory reset so everything is the way it's supposed to be.... Finished!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Spectrah:
I really appreciate the help! I'm a bit confused because Mr. Orange is saying use patched ODIN but MrMike is saying not patched version. I'm not sure which version to use then.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MrMike2182:
The patched one may not work and you'll be forced to start over.. The newest version of odin is for the newer bootloader versions and the patched one isn't updated for the newer bootloader versions but you can try it if you want if it doesn't work then start over.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Spectrah:
Hmm, is there any advantage to using the parched version? It sounds like there's an official version that will get me the desired results from what you're saying.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MrMike2182:
The patched version is usually used to switch from N950U to N950U1 or the other way.. I would just use the official version if I were you because I ALREADY flashed from 5DRL7 back to N950USQS5CRK1 and it's working perfectly.. But if you want to mess with the patched version you can but like I said if it doesn't work then you have to start over.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Spectrah:
I'm gonna use the patched version, thanks so much for all of your help!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MrMike2182:
Must be something wrong with you obviously.. You go and ask for help and then the person who gives you the most details on how to do it and you'd rather listen to someone who gave you a one line answer. LMAO. Actually this is probably my own fault because I should have known better that when someone asks for step by step instructions basically asking someone to hold their hand through the process that they're a problem..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
I used the patched version and it works perfectly on the N950U.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MrMike2182:
Well others in the other thread complained that it didn't work but that's why I said it may or may not work I didn't outright say it doesn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
I never said you did. Is there a particular reason you're being so confrontational and taking things so personal? You just bit the OP's head off and called him "a problem," because he didn't take your advice exactly. I didn't even mention you, quote, or refer to you. I was just sharing my experience, yet you jump on and defend yourself. Try to realax a little and have fun.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MrMike2182:
That's because too many folks on here want someone to hold their hand through the entire process instead of actually spending the time to learn how to do it on their own and then when you go spend your time to give them the best answers so they don't waste their time running into possible problems that others have stated that they did and then person just decides to go do the opposite then it's like what did you even ask for help for then? I agree that I was a bit of a jerk but that's from constantly dealing with that on here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Spectrah:
Unfortunately that was a typo and I meant the non patched version. Obviously you went above and beyond in making sure I was prepared and I really appreciate that. Sorry about the confusion.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] sneak:
I'd like to create a TWRP flashable ZIP of my phone meant for public release so I'd like to hide any information specific to my phone or self. As far as not installing a bunch of apps or backing up data that's obvious but what I'm unsure about is the process of creating a ZIP file instead of those folders that TWRP creates. How would I go about doing that?

This is basically what I'd like to do:

Backup my own stuff

Flash stock ROM and make customizations to the interface, possible minor debloat, installation of a few useful things, etc...

Release a flashable ZIP -- essentially just like flashing a custom ROM except it's just the stock ROM with customizations like ad blocking and interface changes, etc...

The idea is similar to [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] posting images of his settings but involves more things and in a prepared format for flashing. It's sort of like a "lazy" version of creating a ROM.. where you're just modifying some things and doing all the work that would normally take a lot of discovery and time to do then releasing that.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Joe199799:
I'm getting tired of it, wifi disconnects and reconnects or flat out doesn't work, mobile data flat out doesn't work most times unless I reboot the phone for either of them to work. I'm rebooting about 4-5 times a day just to get either working. I'm at my wit's end and about to get rid of this thing as soon as I can.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] chris.arney:
I generally love this phone, but I'm seeing similar issues. WiFi says connected, but I don't get any data. I thought it was my network at first, but noticed other devices working. Tested network while my phone was acting like this, and my WiFi and network were working great.

Separately, my phone sometimes won't dial out. I use Google Voice, so I'm not sure if it's the phone or Google that's not working, but it's very frustrating. The dial screen comes up, then immediately disappears. No errors or anything to indicate that it ran into problems. The dial screen just flashes. Rebooting seems to fix that. But all very frustrating. Especially when I'm trying to call someone while driving. I don't want to have to look at the screen. I want to be able to tell the phone to call and know it's going to do it. Instead, I tell it to call, it confirms it will call, then nothing.

How did you succeed in convincing Linux to even recognize your phone was attached?

Interesting

i'm very interested on that if you ever got it recognized.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] ParaplegicRacehorse:
Not at all. Multiple computers with different distros. Multiple cables.

In all cases, phone will charge (sometimes it doesn't announce it, but battery icon changes to charge icon). Never will phone ask how I want to USB connect. Never does fastboot or ADB find the phone.

I got my ubuntu 14.04 to recognize my phone by the following these commands:

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot

In adb, it actually didn't recognize, but i think that is due to some other ssues that i still didn't figure out.

Which phone would you replace your PH-1 with?

I am curious about the Samsung 10 but I am just not a fan of anything that has a skin and "bloatware". That being said, my personal choice would be the Google Pixel 3 (XL or lite) or the OnePlus 6T. Without an immeadiate fix to my issue with the glass on the screen loosening, I think I would lean towards the Pixel 3 XL because of the battery life. I am not a fan of the size but the lite just seems to just miss the mark with the PH-1. I know it sounds crazy but the PH-1, I think, is the perfect size phone...for the most part. I think its a little too thick but other than that, perfect.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] thelangosta:
I agree about the size of the ph1. It's not thick though. In fact I could go for more battery and thiccness. It is a bit heavy.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tqwzUX6fn39GZMEzSnDF:
All of the listed phones are much more expensive but - for me - no option to replace PH-1. What do they have what PH-1 doesn't have? Slightly better camera, maybe better screen, external SD card and wirelass charging. But PH-1 has - in my opinion - better size, design, material, software & updates, doesn't need an additional case and hardware is good enough for at least next 2 or 3 years. Maybe I'll use it until foldable phones have become mainstream.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Twowong4words:
Phones put me off for a number of years. $800 for a phone you can't even root! Looked at low price options and happened upon the PH-1 for $300. Id of paid full price had i known, best phone i've ever owned. Even made my wife an android convert. Makes me afraid to think about the day its too outdated.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] IronRoo:
I would consider a Pixel at this cheaper price

https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-3-pixel-3-xl-google-store-discount/

Though Googles excessive data mining & privacy invasion is a severe drawback .... Chinese phones even worse so no way I'd get one of those (unless the CCP get kicked out). I was considering a Librem phone (though had second thoughts and didn't fund when I found some of the chips were Chinese company design)

see no 5

https://itsfoss.com/open-source-alternatives-android/

so for now it would still be the PH-1
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] luisoman2000:
I switched from my essential to the poco. You'd be surprised how good this phone is. The essential is a solid phone, no doubt about it, but im very pleased with the bigger screen, bigger battery, headphone jack(yay!) and a ton of rom support(bit of a flashaholic, ph1 is the only phone i didnt feel the need to flash other roms to). I miss the looks and comfort of the ph1, but im happy with my switch.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] seabro01:
I went from Essential PH-1 to the Pixel 2XL. Much better all around phone. Not sure I'd buy a PH-2. The PH-1 was kind of a train wreck.

---------- Post added at 02:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 AM ----------

Some of the newer phones have a much better camera, stereo speakers and more water resistance (IP 67/68). Even my Nexus 5x took higher quality pictures than the PH-1. There was also the issue with poor cell reception on certain carriers.

Not needing a case isn't really a benefit of owning the PH-1. The materials are premium but it's not a scratch or shatter proof phone.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] epidemike:
Seabro, I think going without case is a benefit to a lot of people that prefer not using a case. I would never go full nude with a phone and really enjoyed my Dbrand skin (even though their IG has an odd sense of humor) on my ph-1. I didn't get the ph-1 at launch and I think that's why we are differing on opinions.

- stereo speakers, i'd use my head phones.

- IP6x, Im not using my phone while taking a leak or swimming so not a need for me.

- the ph-1 camera at launch was terrible but they've come a long way and with the gcam mods, I loved using it as my daily shooter.

Different folks, different strokes.

I went with the Pixel 3XL and it came with the Incipio case and I have to say it pretty unbearable. I do not have large hands and this case made it unwieldy. I stuck with the case until my dbrand skin came in on order. I wanted to test the phone out with just the skin on it before I returned it to the carrier for a Pixel 3. I went with the XL mainly for the 3400maH battery.

Without the case, its a much better feel in the hand but definitely needs a skin. It's super slippery naked <insert side eye>. I think I am going to stick with it but there are some things that I need to look into. I really do not like the home screen or that fact that I can't get rid of the search bar at the bottom and the time/date/weather up top.

Wish I could have waited till the fall like a smart person but

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] seabro01:
Yeah, I did get my PH-1 shortly after launch and it was a mess. It took several months for Essential to provide a decent software experience. Even with all the issues and several warranty replacements, I stuck with the PH-1 until last March. The camera had improved but the color images were still inconsistent. Ended up needing a more reliable phone but II really liked the overall design, screen quality, in hand feel and size of the phone.

A nice skin like Dbrand or Slickwraps definitely feels better than most cases. It's a good option for those that rarely or never drop phones. Had a Dbrand on the PH-1 for the slippery back and using a Slickwraps on my 2 XL for some grip without adding any extra size.

Nope, I live in central america. Had no problem with the LTE bands.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] swiftbones74:
Yeah I'm happy for you. The POCO phone doesn't work well in the USA (at least not consistently well. Some people have reported part time LTE on at&t but most that use Poco in the states are using it on 3g . This is definitely not an option for me. I might consider it as my next phone if it did work, but 3g in a country turning 5g would be a giant step backwards from the ph-1. I am also on Verizon (my carrier) and Poco phone doesn't work at all. All the same, enjoy your newish phone.
