[MENTION=4618389]simplepinoi177[/MENTION]

I'd like to think this is a load of BS from the shop you dealt with.

I seriously doubt consumers who drop $800+ to purchase an advertised unlocked bootloader device, will be given a locked bootloader device. Unless there is legalese hidden in the purchase agreement that states this very thing, it would be akin to buying a car with turbo, sending it to the shop, and them returning a non-turbo version as a warranty replacement.

Unless that downgrade is explicitly written in the purchase agreement, this sounds like a can of legal woes for Google, and I'd bet they're way too smart to bend over the consumer like this...

And IIRC the unlocked version also cost more than the locked variant, so unless they refund the difference, it could further extend legal woes for Google... I don't think Google would play legal Russian roulette in this manner.

Just my opinion, and I've been wrong before :p
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ilal2ielli:
I've had two refurbished Pixel 2 XLs sent to me after a warranty claim and a accidental damage claim. Both were perfectly fine and bootloader unlockable.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] simplepinoi177:
For what it's worth, I believe it as you do, and agree with your logic as well...It is rather hard to believe -- and yet, if you google the issue about refurbished replacements and unlocked bootloaders, you can find "endless" examples with some people on their 4th or 5th replacement! And that's just before they gave up...! -- that they could "get away with" doing that...but you are seeing it happen enough (online) that it's worrisome how plausible it might seem...

Your situation/example does reinforce some experiences that have been seen elsewhere online that there are people that never run into this issue (albeit there seems to be more people having the issue than not running into it...), and, in the end, that's the only hope I/we are left with... But also, at least in my case and in many of the cases in the links jd gave, it is a widespread issue on the Pixel 2 "walleye", but I can't be sure to say that it also includes the Pixel 2 XL "taimen"....

As I said, at this point, my only hope is that what was told uBreakiFix can't be true because of the legal ramifications, and that, maybe, after 5+ RMA's from Google, that I either come across one where the bootloader can be unlocked or they feel guilty and have some mercy and consideration enough to send a brand new or non-refurbished unit. I know it's a long-shot and I am doubtful and not going to hold my breath and not count on it, but there isn't much more/else that I can do and that's available to me...:crying:

Hello

I got Google píxel 2 and its bricked!!

I just turn off my celphone and turn on again

And thats all.

Load error.

Does anyone fix that problem yet?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] simplepinoi177:
Does your computer & fastboot detect your phone (in Bootloader Mode)? If it does, load up a Full Factory image, extract it, modify the .bat file to remove the "-w" attribute (unless absolutely desperate and willing to erase the whole phone), and run/flash it. If it doesn't (detect your phone), the only thing resembling a solution I've found is to completely drain your battery by displaying Barcodes and then holding the power button until not even a red light shows on the phone. Good luck to you...

Actually, I've been meaning to leave an update here (it doesn't look good...), so there's that coming...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Droid_Nut:
OP, did you connect to the internet first, I could not get the switch to toggle until I connected to WIFI?

I got my Pixel 2 XL to unlock with the Deuces tool that was recommended by AZ biker. fastboot flashing unlock_critical would not work, and the phone has an IMEI starting in 35, the phone that was stolen out of the box last week direct from Google also had a 35 IMEI. I ended up getting a new in the box phone from Swappa, its so old that it is still on Oreo.

I am glad this thread was at the top of the list this morning. :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Droid_Nut:
Yes, the phone was direct from the Google Store, it was stolen somewhere between the warehouse, and FedEx distribution. But before I got the new phone from Swappa I made sure it had the same Model # and SKU # as my empty box, and it was. I called Google, and it is being investigated, and then I will get a refund. How many people are going to spend $600 on a phone and never activate it, once you activate it, you are busted I would think? Pretty common I guess? https://www.reddit.com/r/ProjectFi/comments/a1s8wo/another_pixel_3_stolen_from_the_fedex_shipping/

I wish you luck with Google, they are all just working for the mega company, and just another number. I guess I am lucky to be able to unlock a number 35 phone.

I tell you what, I bought a refurbished Pixel 2 XL off of Amazon and I am going to be sending it back. It cost me $320.00 If you want to pay me cost and shipping, I can see if I can unlock it, and then I will ship it to you. If you want, I can even put it on Swappa for your protection, of course you will have to pick up that fee. I gave it a good test, the battery held up at about 14% per hour with YouTube running steady, and taking updates, and rebooting for each update. BTW, what did you develop, I may take a look, and ship it with free shipping if it is of any use to me?

The Amazon phone has the same Model # G011C as my stolen phone, and Swappa phone, has some minor scratching that did not bother me, but it was my BS story to return it. ;)

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] simplepinoi177:
Thanks for answering those questions (I was pretty curious of the details with the fewer explanations you gave when you were speaking of it...)... and I'll say thanks for the offer and I will consider it...

And, again, if anyone -- keeping in mind how desperate I am and the situation is and admittedly I am rather grasping at straws -- has any thoughts or ideas...please, let me hear them...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Droid_Nut:
Okay, please let me know ASAP, because I already printed the return label, and I am going to ship it back tomorrow.

A

SDB and/or ADB tool

Via Linux Command...

Something like:

sdb pull /home/owner/media

or with ADB

adb pull /home/owner/media

B

Depend how much important your Photos are...

With Tizen Studio... you have something like "Connection Explorer" so in theory you can click via Mouse through folders...

"""Example""":

Red Wolf Recovery is custom recovery based on TWRP source code however some things are working here slightly different then you might expected. The main objective of this project is to provide stable recovery with features which you have never seen before in a recovery and which have not been accepted for adding to the official source code of TWRP. This recovery is also first recovery on the world with password protection.

Based on TWRP version: 3.2.3-0

For device: k5fpr

Authors build: Sahil_Sonar​

Features​

Translated to EN & CZ
- Password protection
- Flashlight
- MIUI Incremental OTA Support

i came from .162 to .203 and since the update i notice a negative performance impact.

every app takes more time to start, load data etc.

anyone else got that? or am i the chosen one :(
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
It might be caching issue. Most probably reset will solve the problem.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] leAndroid91:
Is there a way to wipe cache using TWRP?

I don't think so because of the encryption.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
I think you can do with erecovery ? Boot into it and check there might be the option to wipe cache.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] leAndroid91:
I think that's just the factory reset what isn't an option for me since i don't want to lose and recover all my data.

However, if flashed twrp and magisk.zip again - this time with dalvik cache wipe - what seems to solve the issue for me.

Phone runs smooth again.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Einwod:
Thanks for this. What version of TWRP are you using? I cannot get Magisk to work with this update so if I can flash it with TWRP it would be so much easier.

[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] MagnoT:
User Smaehtin shared a git with a tool to force an update via HiSuite in this thread. It hooks into HiSuite process and intercept ssl calls so you can replace the response with whatever data you want, in my case, a new update response.

You need to compile it for your device though and the current git version doesn't support HiSuite 9. And since I don't have VS I had to use SharpDevelop (open source) compiler to get it working for my Honor 10. I've been using this method for the last 2 updates, april and may. Will do it again for june update as soon as it becomes available for C636 (C900 as of now because hicloud uses different devices names).

Worth mentioning that you need to check in FF if an update is approved for your device because the recovery will check it again. It only works with full-ota. I tested it a lot with incremenal updates with no luck. Also make sure you are not rooted before going for the update.

Maybe I'll contact Smaehtin so I can support a version for Honor 10.

The version is 9.1.0.325 with at least 5 differents ids. I picked the v280740 for my c636. The rollback version is. 224 despite being in. 227 before updating. The security patch is from july, 1st.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] amolguravxda:
I bought Samsung Note 8 at the price of 56,000INR.

I added Samsung official back cover.

One fine day my phone fell from my bed side-table(barely 2 feet) and to my horror, not only its glass was damaged, its display got damaged as well.

If company boasts usage of Gorilla glass 5 and claims of doing multiple drop tests, how can the phone get damaged so easily by a mere 2 feet drop?

I filed a complaint to customer support saying that "I do not think the quality of product is at par with the price tag" and I am told that I will have to bear the expenses. The repair cost is approx 18,000 INR and they are giving me 25% discount which brings down the repair cost to approx 13,000 INR which is still too high.

Samsung makes a tall claim about drop tests. I have a youtube video link where they boast about drop tests, but couldn't share it here since the forum doesn't allow sharing outside links.

I consider this as "Misleading Advertisement" case.

I am thinking of suing the company on the grounds that:

1) They are misleading the customer with such ads

2) They are charging customer for a bad product. If the phone has Gorilla glass, the glass should have broken and protected the display from being damaged.

Do you guys think it is worthwhile taking the efforts to sue Samsung?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] OnnoJ:
You dropped your phone, now it is broken. It will be very difficult that the drop in your case should not have damaged phone.

Samsung may have done a lot to make the phone more durable and more resistant to drops etc., but it doesn't mean the phone is drop proof.

Insurance can cover damage due to accidents, Samsung will not. Any coulance in reducing repair costs by Samsung is a bonus and all in my view you can expect.

Bottom line: don't sue Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
You dropped the phone, then it is YOUR fault, just like that, the device was not designed or constructed to be undestructible or entirely shock proof, there are some heavy duty devices outhere,, but even those can suffer damage, the tests measure the capacity of the device to continue to operate after drops, shocks etc, that is, to be able to function, make and receive calls, the screen beeing legible and responsive to touch
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ace42:
If you have a history of dropping phones I'd strongly encourage you buy a Moto Z. The body is composed of metal, and the screen is shatter proof. I baby phones that are sandwiched between glass, whereas my Moto can handle drops unscathed.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vash_h:
The phone screen is glass.. The phone back is glass.. What makes u think dropping the phone won't break the glass?

No improvements? Ok let's compete it to another type of glass we all know.. Try a glass cup. Drop it and see.

Now do you see the improvements?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Max_Terrible:
What is up with everyone wanting to sue Samsung? Is this because of the recent trend in America where everyone sues each other for absolutely no reason, now everyone else also wants to sue someone to make a bit of money because they're unhappy? "I'm unhappy, now you have to pay me".

Basically any lawyer you tell your story to, will laugh at you. Sure, Gorilla Glass 5 is supposed to be stronger, but the glass is also a lot thinner than they used to be 8 years ago. Just because it's been drop-tested, doesn't mean it's indestructible. It's still glass and it will still break. Samsung didn't falsely advertise anything. They just said it's been drop-tested, not that it won't or can't break. Plus, also, you dropped it and it's your fault. Samsung isn't liable for your own negligence. Suing a company for "false advertising" is just saying "I broke it and now I'm unhappy and don't want to pay the repair, so instead I want to try and make money out of them for my unhappiness".

Bottom line. No, I don't think you can sue Samsung because of that. What do you think the courts of the world would look like if every person tried to sue a mobile manufacturer for false advertising, every time they dropped their phone? Why do you think you haven't seen or heard of any such cases happening before? Because it's just ludicrous.

Stop being salty because you were negligent and broke your expensive device, and either pay the repair or get a different device. At the end of the day, no one buys a Note device for their reputable sturdy and ruggedness and resistance to breaking.
