This doesn't work any longer starting with pie. At least both times I tried it. Last i got it to go was with Oreo on my shamu and essential. Also, no verity and anything disabling encryption, disables any phone security until u restore with msm.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] redejcr:
Recently my phone got back from warranty with a retail board (don't know if it's relevant), so I had to do all the unlocking and rooting things. but all the times that I changed custom roms my phone only booted if I went to bootloader and pressed start, any other way it boots directly into rcovery mode.

actualy using Ressurection Remix (Pie) no root.

Only shows permission denied even if adb interface was authorized.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
You can root it, and get permission, or.... add "sudo", or "su" command to beginning of command shell. Haven't done it without root, but that should get you root permission for bash shell. Something like this

adb shell su -c "your command here"
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] redejcr:
Yeap, that worked, thanks a lot. You saved me from this headache.

The only diference is that I had to root AND add su to the command.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] bartolo5:
I've been poking with Android studio to see if my Pixel 2 has support for eSIM outside Project Fi and the answer seems to be affirmative. The following code when run on a Pixel 2 on Pie returns 'enabled'

EuiccManager mgr = (EuiccManager) context.getSystemService(Context.EUICC_SERVICE);
boolean isEnabled = mgr.isEnabled();
// isEnabled = true on Pixel 2
// eUICC Android 9 APIs claim this means eSIM support is available for apps

Seems that carriers should be able to create their eSIM apps for Android and it will work in Pixel 2. Google Fi app must do exactly this.

Sadly, there are lots of security restrictions around these APIs and it doesn't seem possible to create a 3rd party app that can read QR codes and download profiles into eSIM without rooting. It seems likely one can easily create a system app to download eSIMs from QR codes after root. But this was obviously Google's job with eSIM manager, who has inexplicably reserved this feature for Pixel 3, and has locked the app on Pixel 2 to a version from 2017 that can't do QR codes.

TLDR

Pixel 2 supports eSIM for any carrier, but only if carrier provides app for eSIM provisioning. QR code eSIMs won't work unless Google updates eSIM manager.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] pbasista:
It is possible to install a newer version of SIM Manager which does support QR code scanning during eSIM provisioning. However, at least from my experience, it still would not help as the process is unable to finish successfully due to some exceptions. It seems like the updated SIM Manager is unable to obtain the eSIM metadata. Some logs are mentioned in this post.

This is LineageOS 15.1 built from the official sources with no modification on my part. [MENTION=5451670]Krizthian[/MENTION] has done this, but it hasn't been updated since September 2018, plus my build here has the Lineage Recovery.

What works:

Almost everything

Lineage Recovery

What doesn't:

Bluetooth audio on calls

How to install:

1. Install Lineage Recovery (optional, you can use whatever)

2. Get the ROM and GApps and copy the files to a convenient location on your phone.

3. Boot to recovery mode.

4. Do a factory reset. If you are coming from some previous version of LineageOS then this step is optional.

5. Flash the ROM and GApps.

6. Reboot. The first boot will take time for optimization.

For what it's worth, I've added hammerhead to my build roster. Weekly hammerhead builds for 15.1, using a pristine LineageOS source tree (no modifications whatsoever), are at https://lineageos.disavowed.jp/hammerhead/.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] anivegmin:
Thanks very much. Just updated my hammerhead 15.1 with a dirty flash of your 0909 build and my flo 14.1 with a dirty flash of your 0907 build. Everything went smoothly, both running fine. There have been no other updates to these roms since May so you've kept both my daily drivers going. Thanks again for the good work.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] wileyc:
No worries, glad I could help. New builds will appear weekly, early Sunday morning Tokyo time. If there are other legacy/sustaining platforms you'd like to see, please let me know and I'll add them to the build roster.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Kotaless:
What about 16? Can you add it too?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] wileyc:
Sure. I just verified that the 16 branch successfully builds; I've added to the weekly build roster and copied my test build to the server.

Please understand that I have not tested 16 on hammerhead at all, and probably won't for the time being. I added it to the roster because I have the storage space and spare compute cycles; if it doesn't work, please ask the folks with commit access to the LineageOS source tree to pull in the appropriate fixes and my build infra will automatically pull it in the next cycle.

Cheers :)

https://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/rom-lineageos-16-0-nexus-5-t3921162

Everything seems to work, I'm just getting a general lag (especially with google apps) as compared to 14.1 and 15.1. I'll keep testing and if latency/lag improves I'll definitely be replacing 15.1 as my daily driver.

I'm assuming the LOS 16 in wileyc's repository is the same build? Maybe not, I'm not sure how these things work.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Nathqld:
I am no longer able to connect to the Internet via my home WiFi network. I am able to WiFi connect to the network without any problems, but when I try to use any application that accesses the Internet the phone looks for a GRPS connection. I do not have a data account attached to my sim as I live in Australia, and as far as that sort of thing go, we are a backwater…

The WiFi connection and access was previously working fine until I tried to disable the GPRS from trying to connect, as this would routinely bring up messages informing me that a GPRS connection could not be made. I do not know what settings I have changed but I cannot seem to reverse the situation.

I have soft reset a number of times, I have re-run the connection wizard, etc my current settings are as follows:

make sure OEM unlock is off before flash.

Have you install Magisk Manager manually and it not rooted. OEM Unlock is part of the guides, so yes, that instruction was followed. Strangely, TWRP booted back into after all this can't detect file systems like if it were part of the Format part of the guide.

Oh and Magisk has been removed from the Play Store for a while.

Sorry for the bad image but this is bugging me....it also may not be a Mate 20 Pro issue.

When I unlock my phone, pin, face or thumb there is a small black image that appears near the top and of the screen and then disappears. It's almost subliminal so I video'd it and took a grab as shown. It looks like a parachutist or someone waving a flag or the grim reaper. You decide. :)

Anyone have a clue what this is? Not sure if it's something inherent to the phone (pretty sure it only started when I flashed my LYA-L09 Optus with 9.0.0.187) or whether it's something I've added. I guess something like an overlay so maybe Lawnchair launcher or Power Shade. Only other thing with write over would be LastPass but doubt it's that.

Hoping you just got the phone & you're still within the return time frame.

If so,don't waste another day,the clock is ticking.

Otherwise,you're likely stuck w/what you have,unless you're willing to invest the time in a back & forth w/Samsung or,wherever you bought it from,to get an RMA.

All the buttons should have the same feel/amount of "clickiness",otherwise,the OCD crowd would be in an uproar,rivaling the bad PR surrounding the Note 7.

Buttons feel just as clicky as the power button,they just let's say wiggle a bit ig
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Still the same,the tightness should be uniform,at least this early in the game.

Think about it:

Have you ever noticed similar on other phones?

Probably not,unless you've moved up from a bargain-basement phone.

If it bothers you,submit an RMA or,just return for another one,with comments doubting the IP68 Rating would hold up w/loose buttons.

Hello,

Is there a way to roll back to Oreo from 47.2.a.4.45 (Pie) saving all personal data and apps untouched?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Just downgrade it yourself, you won't damage the phone or change your warranty status.

Look on Xperiafirm and find a 47.1.A.16.20 build that is for your region, although any EU region would be fine, US versions have fingerprint and VoLTE disabled for some reason.

Download Newflasher and put it in the same folder as the firmware you downloaded from Xperiafirm

Delete Userdataxxx.sin and files ending in .ta . This will ensure that you don't lose any personal data. Also delete persist*.sin to avoid losing android attest key.

Then start newflasher.exe and follow instrctions.

You might need a copy of the Sony driver

I would make a backup with Xperia transfer before you do anything, if the phone is glitchty after your rebuild, then factory reset it and then restore from the backup.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SonyVLT25ISonyVLT25I:
Sorry if I'm being too annoying and big thanks for helping me out.

Just to confirm once more. To insure that a personal data, installed apps and apps' data/cache remains intact after rolling back to Oreo from Pie I need to delete these files prior to flashing old firmware:

All files with ".ta" extention

Userdata.sin

Appslog.sin

Diag.sin

Qnovo.sin

Ssd.sin

Persist.sin (especially this one to keep SOMC FIDO Key & SOMC Attest key )

Is it correct, or I missed something?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SonyVLT25ISonyVLT25I:
Too bad I'm unable to start any in-phone app (except settings) right now, as the desktop is stuck on "Phone is starting...", probably because of Substratum themes (like you've answered in other post).

I have tried to disable the password through settings, but upon password confirmation I cannot get to the next screen, there is no transition...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
I'll be honest when I used Newflasher I didn't bother with any of the .ta files, just Userdataxxx.sin and Persist.sin, I don't knon what the .ta files do and it didn't make any difference to me, I got prefect flash, no loss of data. I copied the .ta files instructions from someone else, I can't find the original thread now, but I don't think you delete all of them, espesially not the one in the boot folder.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SonyVLT25ISonyVLT25I:
Is there a way to backup all data with other software other than Companion?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SonyVLT25ISonyVLT25I:
So no need to delete "Appslog.sin", "Diag.sin", "Qnovo.sin", "Ssd.sin"? Just delete "Userdata.sin" and "Persist.sin" and all ".ta" files from Root directory?

Try and download the firmware again perhaps the original download was corrupted. Also, try to flash without taking out Userdata, perhaps there is something that is not backwards compatable. Although I'm sure there would have been reports on the forum if that was the case

Then restore with X Transfer.

If all else fails use Xperia companion to repair your phone.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] SonyVLT25ISonyVLT25I:
Unable to use Xperia Transfer, as the phone is stuck on "Phon is starting...", unable to get to apps. Even after pushing alternative Launcher through ADB.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
You have to make the Xperia transfer backup at the begining before you start, it's too late now.

I'd say the only thing you can try is to flash again and wipe the phone. Don't delete Userdata and let the phone factory reset.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] vofferz:
I think it would be plausible to assume that going back to previous version would need a factory reset as there could be a vulnerability in an older fw that could let people gain control and access the data without a proper password (or something).
