[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kl25:
I've tried the two screen protectors from RhinoShield. One is a polymer film and the other is tempered glass.

https://rhinoshield.io/pages/shop/Google?device=google-pixel-2-xl&category=screen-protector

The tempered glass (pic 1-4) was great even tho it uses dot matrix and is not full adhesive (only adhesive around the edges) because whatever they did with the dot matrix they did right. There was no loss in touch sensitivity (rare for a dot matrix protector), it felt great to touch, it's not edge to edge so it is compatible with cases and fingerprints were easy to wipe off. However, because of the edge only adhesive, when I dropped the phone and it bottom planted onto the floor, the screen protector literally just popped off. That was concerning because if it was say a 'tumble' drop versus a face plant or bottom plant, the screen protector could pop off at first impact which leaves the screen unprotected the rest of the tumble. I wish they come up with a stronger adhesive material for these types of screen protectors. Otherwise, as far as glass goes, UV tempered glass is the only way to go but there's the added risk of the adhesion liquid damaging your phone.

The polymer film is my favorite of the 3 I tried (pic 5-6). It is not a wet applied TPU protector and it is not your usual plastic film protector. You apply it like a regular plastic film protector, but it is much thicker and it actually provides impact protection like a tempered glass. If you see my other review on pixel 2 xl cases, you will see that my phone has endured many drops and I'd say this screen protector has done its job. This polymer material feels very smooth to touch, much better than the Sparin wet applied protector that I used. It is not edge to edge, in fact it leaves quite a bit of the curved edge exposed in comparison to the Rhinoshield tempered glass but that means it is case friendly. I am not as concerned about the edges and corners since I expect my case to provide impact protection those areas. This is the one that I kept on the phone and it has been for the past 10 months.

Lastly, the Sparin wet applied screen protector (pic 7-8). There's not much for me to add as it carries similar pros and cons as other wet applied protectors. It provides full coverage but left a little bit of space to be case friendly. How it handles impacts, I would never know but I don't expect much from these types of screen protectors. I was surprised as it actually felt pretty nice to touch and the orange peel affect wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. It came off after a week or two as I really only used it to tie me over until the Rhinoshield stuff arrived. It was easy to remove and left no residue.

What the Rhinoshield polymer looks like now 10 months later.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Ren Hayashi:
Hi. I've been looking for a good screen protector that feels as nice as tempered glass but doesn't need me to shell out 50 bucks. I was wondering how the polymer one feels compared to the tempered glass? Also, how is the clarity? I have the Am Film with the dotted matrix and the clarity is just awful.

Title says it all. I haven't gotten past root because every rooter I try fails. Tried rooting on 4.5.5.1 and .2, hoping .3 would solve any issues but it didn't. Really hoping to get a custom ROM on this thing, if anyone could help, much appreciated..

Choices:

- do some basic troubleshooting to resolve the issue (first line offers a clue)

- use the 1-click method

Although preferable you do not need to execute get_code.bar prior to flashing the vulnerable bootloader (aboot) which is where the real magic lies. That said, a mistake at this stage can result in a black screen 'soft-brick' that is difficult to recover. Probably best to stick with 1-click.

Reichmann aka realm mann, had the easiest guide imo.

Got a apollo unlocked and twrp'd in 30 minutes.

But take note you are expected to rename aboot file to "aboot_vuln.mbn"

And twrp to whatever the guide prints for the dd command. (I dont recall but just rename your twrp file to whatever that dd command references.)

Doesnt matter what windows. Or at least worked a treat on win7 for me. Reichmann used 10.

Make sure your key code file is generated or if you continue might be bricked judgjng from other posts.

Make sure you typed the commands exactly. Wmic commands are easy to mess up and could be confusing.

If you get an error double check every character of text.

Your disk index result number from wmic command replaces the X after Harddisk in dd command.

But if you dont get the same disk index result from all 3 wmic command or an error? Probably mistyped. Like "partiton".

Just double check and proof read.

Doesnt matter if you do mistype it as long as you retype it correctly eventually.

[ZTE nubia Red Magic Guides, News, & Discussion] ABM30:
I prepared a stripped down version for NUBIA RED MAGIC 2.36 CN ROM (you can find the full ROM here http://ui.nubia.cn/rom)

I take out a lot of CN applications. You can flash over the OpenGAPPS and get Google applications, make the ROM more usable in the European countries.

DOWNLOAD

https://mega.nz/#F!xsFnkQDL!XQXUTVjq8xDfvG_OElXTYw

Install:

- First: don't forget to backup your files, if you come from Global ROM you will need to erase also internal storage of your phone!

- you will need TWRP installed. Look how to in sakilxda's thread (thank you sakilxda! ): https://xdaforums.com/red-magic/how-to/unlock-bootloader-flasah-twrp-nubia-red-t3828466

- Download Oppen Gapps for ARM 64 - 8.1 nano (or micro/mini etc at your need - https://opengapps.org/)

- copy the downloaded ROM and GAPPS in your phone's internal storage

- go in TWRP, Advanced Wipe: wipe Dalvik/Art Cache, Cahe, Syste, Data.

- go to install menu and chose the ROM add to zip list also the GAPPS you downloaded: IS IMPORTANT TO FLASH GAPPS IMMEDIATELY AFTER ROM, ELSE WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY!

- OPTIONAL: you can add also blu_spark r36 Red Magic's kernel (THANK YOU blu_spark) from: https://xdaforums.com/red-magic/development/kernel-t3813055

- Wipe cache when finish and reboot!

Good luck! :)

Flash magisk zip file check xda through twrp and then install the magisk manager apk like any other app.
[ZTE nubia Red Magic Guides, News, & Discussion] strakell:
How passed the problem can you tell us so if anyone faced it to know how to over passed it?
[ZTE nubia Red Magic Guides, News, & Discussion] ABM30:
If you stuck on searching updates: just push power button and slide the restart button.

After this it will start over but will pass the update chek!

For root: download the magisk.apk and Magisk-v18.1(18100).zip from download link that I have given.

Put them in your phones internal storage. Install magisk.apk and run it once.

Then go in recovery TWRP and instal Magisk-v18.1(18100).zip, wipe cahe when asked.

Restart phone =>ROOTED!

You can find Magisk also in google Play!.

Have fun!
[ZTE nubia Red Magic Guides, News, & Discussion] tlgod:

ABM30 could you please explain step by step how I can get twrp and how go back to official recovery so I can flash official ROM ,I really appreciate that!
[ZTE nubia Red Magic Guides, News, & Discussion] tlgod:
I can help you:

Download:

- Rom: https://mega.nz/#F!xsFnkQDL!XQXUTVjq8xDfvG_OElXTYw

-Open Gapps for ARM 64 - 8.1 nano (or micro/mini etc at your need - https://opengapps.org/)

1. Boot to bootloader and unlock bootloader: "fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX609J"

2. flash twrp: twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.85_redmagic.img

3. reboot to recovery (twrp), copy the downloaded ROM and GAPPS in your phone's internal storage

4. in TWRP, Advanced Wipe: wipe Dalvik/Art Cache, Cahe, Syste, Data.

5. go to install menu and chose the ROM to flash

6. FLASH GAPPS IMMEDIATELY AFTER ROM, ELSE WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY! (IT IS IMPORTANT!!)

7. Wipe cache when finish and reboot.

*There are some little different if you want to use official rom from CN ROM (you can find the full ROM here http://ui.nubia.cn/rom)

Download: CN Rom from the link above

1. Extract from the rom to get 2 files: "recovery.img" & "boot.img"

2. Copy "recovery.img" & "boot.img" to Minimal ADB and Fastboot, open command window from here.

3. reboot to bootloader (power off the device then back on with 'vol down' + power button)

4. unlock bootloader: "fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX609J"

5. Wipe your device.

"fastboot -w"

6. Flash recovery:

"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

7. Update your ROM.

fastboot update <CNRomFile.zip>

Your phone will update and automatically reboot into the new ROM.
[ZTE nubia Red Magic Guides, News, & Discussion] strakell:
Thank you very much for your time ,I think you forget to write in line 2 after the unlock bootloader what I have to type in adb for the custom recovery
[ZTE nubia Red Magic Guides, News, & Discussion] ABM30:
THANK YOU tlgod! Well done!

There is also the alternative to go back to official ROM:

1. Download the official ROM - CN or Global - you can find links in this thread

2. Copy ROM in internal storage (preferable in root)

3. Go in Settings-System Update-Menu (3 dots in upper right corner) - local update

4. Choose the ROM you downloaded and install > if you choose CN ROM: you are back to original recovery, boot, ROM

5. If you want to go back to global ROM you will have some more steps: need to wipe all USER DATA and CACHE in original Recovery after update (this will erase your internal memory !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so BACKUP BACKUP....!!!!!!, now the phone can be restarted.

Global ROM will encrypt your Phone!!!! therefore when you go from Global to CN or back you need to wipe your USER DATA and lost everything from internal storage!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it can be used for TWRP installing as mentioned by tlgod!
[ZTE nubia Red Magic Guides, News, & Discussion] ABM30:
Yes, I put everything in one folder (ROM Magisk.apk and zip, twrp), so you don't need another link.

For developer bug: you need to root the phone and you will get acces to developer options!

P.S. Sometimes a restart is also a good option!
[ZTE nubia Red Magic Guides, News, & Discussion] strakell:
Like this:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-nx609j.img

[ZTE nubia Red Magic Guides, News, & Discussion] ABM30:
rename the recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-nx609j.img to recovery.img and then:

A little help please , I did the procedure to unlock bootloader and flash custom recovery all went ok right away from the fastboot mode I went to twrp which was in Chinese I change the language to English I didn't do anything enything else because for now I only wanted to have custom recovery to flash magisk, i reboot to ROM I had all nice till now but when I'm trying to reboot to recovery to flash magisk I can't find the twrp only official recovery ,what am I doing wrong?
[ZTE nubia Red Magic Guides, News, & Discussion] ABM30:
Unfortunately it has happened to me also at the beginning. My unlocking counter is at 20.

So you need to do the following:

Unlock your bootloader again, flash TWRP (again :)), go through ROM install procedure (again) as I mentioned in 1st post, but this time put also blu_spark r36 Red Magic's kernel in zip list to be flashed. In this way the original kernel (which has some security measures implemented in it and in case of some modifications in ROM it will overwrite the recovery with a backup from internal memory, I think is located in DATA folder...) will be overwritten and recovery will be preserved. At least this procedure I find at this moment.

Good Luck!

[ZTE nubia Red Magic Guides, News, & Discussion] emeraldexaltation:
If you cannot access the device. You can remove the lockscreen PIN.

You need to have a custom recovery for this to work such as TWRP.

Locate these files in data/system using the file manager feature.

locksettings.db

locksettings.db-shm

locksettings.db-wal

and either rename them or delete them. I can't remember if these are the exact file names but I think it'll work.

Hello!

This tutorial is for those who wants to downgrade to Android Oreo without tripping the Knox nor affecting the data. As you know the latest One UI update removes pro mode for video and the split screen features have been limited.

https://youtu.be/e0qEM5j34QI

Typos (STEPS):

Make sure your phone is UNLOCKED

Make sure your phone is at least 70%

Enable OEM Unlocking and USB Debug from Developer option

Download Official Stock ROM from SamMobile.com (Make sure it matches your Model number + REGION)

Download Odin latest version.

Backup your phone using SmartSwitch

Launch Odin > add the BL, AP, CP and CSC from downloaded ROM.

IMPORTANT NOTE: (You might have two files of CSC, if you want to retain the data use the HOME otherwise if you want to format pick the other CSC file).

Press START

Enjoy!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Soo uhhh. Yeah. Ok.

Couple questions. Why oem unlocked if flashing stock software using Odin? ??

Next, what good does usb debugging do for you while flashing via Odin? Usb debugging setting in the current os has no bearjng on the phone while in download mode. Hell you could be in download mode on a phone with nothing on the /system partition and it's still going to act the same way. Usb debugging setting is only for while booted into the OS.
