[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] dynacopas:
the february update has transitioned to all. but the download link dont seem to work. anyone else see the same
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] uodii:
I'm experiencing the exact same thing. I thought it was the custom roms I was running at first until realizing the watch seems to be dominating the connection... Or to be fair, I think if anything is connected I can't seem to pair a new device until that thing is disconnected... Have you come across a solution to this?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] bfmetcalf:
Nope. I'm waiting on an update from essential. I have also found, if I pair to my truck, even with my watch turned off, the phone will work for about 10 minutes, if it isn't used, it will stop working again.

I too have the bluetooth problem. Bluetooth connected with no issue, and fine with stereo audio. However, when it comes to call, the audio not routing through BT ear piece, but the phone speaker.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] JohnnyPhantom:
Bluetooth bad again

Hey Everyone,

After the update my Bluetooth has gone to **** too. When I first got the phone, it had this weird issue, where it wouldn't connect to my car radio all the time, and when I got a phone call, I would accept the call, and the audio would always come out of my watch and not the phone it self, I couldn't even switch it in the call back to the phone. Later there was a update patch, and my phone has worked flawlessly with bluetooth, until the latest update. I'm not getting the watch issue as often (before it was every call, now its just 1 out of 10 will do this) and when i go in the car, the phone will not connect to the radio, unless i reboot the phone as well as press the reset button on the radio. I've tried factory resetting the watch, car radio, and phone, and issues remain. I think I'm going to try lineageOS or Pixel in the meantime until a update comes out for factory

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Quinn23:
Hi everyone, I had my phone rooted and had TWRP, Magisk fake GPS etc all up and running so I could play a certain GPS based game.

The updated game stopped working so in trying to fix it I ended up factory resetting my phone. So a couple of things, I am trying to follow a guide but I am not sure it is best suited to my current problem. TWRP app says my phone isn't rooted any longer (factory reset?) and when I try to re root the phone I get to this screen but cannot do anything except press volume down key + power key for 7 seconds to reset.

Does it look broken? How do I start all over again with a fresh root to get my phone set up again please?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Quinn23:
As an update I can get into recovery mode and I have TWRP options and full usability here is anybody can advise what to do now please?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Quinn23:
Tried installing magisk via TWRP, it installed but now I am stuck on the Samsung logo as the phone is trying to boot up, I really do need some guiding here :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] spawnlives:
Twrp does not detect whether your phone is rooted or not.

What guide did you follow?

Stuck at which Samsung logo ( Samsung powered by Android or Samsung with blue led light) and how long did you wait?

Being from a factory reset your phone is probably re-encrypted so you will have to format data and flash no Verity zip again.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Quinn23:
This guide...

https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonGoSpoofing/comments/9kzf4g/tutorial_spoofing_on_all_android_devices/

All worked well until yesterday when a pokemon update downloaded. So I reverted the game file back a build and it worked again.

Then today I had a notification saying there is a magisk update, in magisk manager it says ""Magisk is not installed. Latest v18.1 (18100)"". Then trying to boot into pokemon go the game will not launch as my software is incompatible.

So basically I figured I will do a phone factory reset and set it all up again with the edited guide since the updates and I am now running into errors. I have managed to since get into the phone and can get into TWRP recovery again but I cannot get magisk to instal, this is my question on reddit and where I am at currently...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] spawnlives:
Can't help with pokemon as I don't play it

In regards with twrp/magisk after you factory reset your phone would have re-encrypted itself so in twrp you will have to format data reboot back into twrp flash the no Verity zip and magisk again.

Note: Once phone is up and running with root I would do a twrp backup first then try your Pokemon guide so if you run into troubles you can restore from backup.

I had issues with the update in general, but it was my fault. Everything worked out in the end. I think more than a little of it was because of the changes under the hood that Google applied.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mickyw1980:
Updated perfectly. Downloaded OTA, flashed in TWRP with TWRP zip, reboot to recovery to flash kernel then magisk. No issues whatsoever.

February feels much better, although could just be a placebo ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mookiexl:
I flashed with Duece script at usual. I'm no longer able to fastboot flash TWRP because it just hangs at the initial TWRP screen. Then I have to flash the ota or stock boot.img for the phone to boot. The old process to root doesn't work for me on the February update. I still was able and flash a magical patched stock boot image. So now I'm rooted with no recovery to flash a custom kernel.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jd1639:
Fastboot boot twrp and then once booted install the twrp zip. Get away from doing things thru a tool kit.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mookiexl:
When I fastboot TWRP it hangs at the initial screen and never starts. On January and every other update I've had no issues booting TWRP.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jd1639:
I'm not sure what state your device is in so I'd flash the feb factory image using the flash all batch file with the -w removed. That'll return your device to stock without wiping it. Then fastboot twrp, then install twrp, if you want it, then install magisk.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
USB cables, ports, and platform-tools up to date?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mookiexl:
Neither of those are the issue because I was able to fastboot flash the magisk patched kernel image. I'm kinda leaning towards TWRP issue. If I go back to January update I can then fastboot flash TWRP . I'm actually shocked no one else is having this issue.

Not sure if I'd consider Deuces flash script a toolkit per se...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
It's a toolkit. Toolkits generally simplify processes and hide output that advanced users can use to achieve the same results without the toolkit.

Slow charging

Ever since the December, January and February updates, my phone has been charging slowly. Google even sent me a replacement charger and I'm having the same issue. The phone says charging rapidly but it definitely isn't doing what it's saying. It says it won't fully charge until 3 hours. I also did a hard reset. Should I request a device replacement?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Don't go by estimates on the lockscreen. They're not accurate as the voltage changes as the percentage increases. What's your actual amount of battery percentage gain in an hour? For me, it's been a pretty consistent 70-75% gained when starting at 5%. 80-100% it slows down a lot so it's definitely not fast charging then. It's not supposed to. This hasn't changed with the February update or any prior. If anything it got faster a few months after the October 2017 release. It used to be only 60-65% gained in an hour.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Google's way is the correct way. Toolkits typically hide the output from Fastboot and ADB, making it difficult to troubleshoot problems when they occur. They DO have their uses, but they should be tools of LAST resort, not FIRST.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] LolHacker17:
how to update using twrp? flash vendor.img using twrp?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Yep. Select image instead of zip after you hit install, then flash it to the vendor partition :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] murphyjasonc:
Are you typing in "fastboot flash twrp.img" or fastboot boot twrp.img"? I'm asking because you said flash in your statement. It will not boot if you are trying to flash twrp from recovery. You should be using "fastboot boot twrp.img".
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mookiexl:
Yep, sure enough my brain got stuck in an endless bootloop of "fastboot flash boot"

I just a Google edition 2XL with the Dec 2018 patch (never been rooted). Should I update to the February update before I root or should I root then update?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jd1639:
Update first. Updating will remove root so if you do that first you'll just have to do it again. If your bootloader is still locked do that before anything, it'll wipe your device.

See this https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3702418. I took a quick look at the video and it looks ok.

The other thing I would recommend is after you download the sdk platform tools and extract then, put all those files in a folder named adb. Then go to control panel, system & security, system, advanced system settings, environmental variables, path ( edit that to include /adb). If you do that adb and fastboot will be available in any folder and you won't need to worry where you put the factory images and other files.

I may not be fully correct on this, but I believe there was a MIUI 10 port to the Mi A2 Lite, however it caused the device trouble. Many users reported their devices being "Bricked" by following such method, therefore the method and guide was removed from XDA Developers.

Greetings,

I am trying to instal the LineageOS on my XT1039 Peregrine but I am always getting the following error: E1001: Failed to update system image. Updater process ended with ERROR: 7. I am able to install any stock rom on it, without any issue, but when I try to install Lineage, or any other modded rom, it doesn't work at all. (I've only tried Slim and cRdroid, both gave different issues as far as I remember). Doing google searchs mainly I found posts here and on Lineage subreddit which possible fixes which include: Updating the bootloader, which didn't work because it's already on the latest version, told me to downgrade TWRP and try to flash again also didn't work and I have tried editing the updater-script by removing the asserts or editing the block_image_update lines which also didn't work.

I have a XT1069 Titan which I unlocked the bootloader, flashed the twrp recovery and flashed the latest nightly LineageOS build and it worked just fine, but I can't get it to work on my XT1039 Peregrine.

Thank you for your time and apologies if something like this has already been solved before. I couldn't find a [solved] thread that works for me.
