TWRP does not work following instructions

I flashed abl_a and abl_b to abl_a and abl_b on my V40 respectively with a Medusa Pro box. Also, I did:

fastboot flash boot_a TWRP-judypn-2019-07-01.img

Now, I can't boot into the recovery. I am using the twrp image found on the main page. I am on android pie kdz.. should I be using oreo kdz instead?

EDIT: Okay, it looks like for pie the eng bootloader needs to be installed to laf_a and laf_b, whereas for oreo it can be installed to abl_a and abl_b on the phone itself.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Sam Nakamura:
After being new to the pixel 2 xl I'm rather confused as to why there's no pocket mode or judge - I'm able to unlock my device while being in my pocket (fingerprint & dt2w), usually there's a option like "avoid accidental touches" or a inbuilt "pocket judge" that blocks all inputs when the proximity sensor detects anything close but this is not the case on the Pixel 2 XL (something that worked flawlessly on all my OnePlus devices) - after reading the plenty reports of people with proximity sensor issues I did check my sensor and it detects proximity just as it should, it just seems not to block inputs... Or is it intended from Google that the proximity sensor gets ignored? Due to the many reports of people that claim their proximity sensors always detect anything near, hence the screen stays black when call is finished...

I feel like it's really inconvenient to have a device in my pocket that doesn't lock itself when being in a pocket, under a pillow or something like that and rather completely ignores proximity even though it's readings are correct - any thoughts on this? Did I miss something?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Sibmet:
Must be something wrong with Your device, because when I cover my proximity sensor display goes dark and it doesn't accept touch to wake.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Thanks for the fast reply this gives me hope to be actually easy to fix, I'll check another kernel next, however I'd be surprised if it's related to [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]'s ElementalX...

same
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] SageWilliams:
ive had the same issue only on stock rom. When on stock I used Gravity Screen. Currently on Havoc and that has an option to block screen when proximity is covered.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Sam Nakamura:
The weird thing is AndroSensor reports proximity as working just fine, also on calls it's working - when I hold the screen to my ear it blacks out and gets back on when I remove it, I get the impression that Google has not implemented at "pocket mode", I also compared it to N5X running stock 8.1, same behavior, even though it's just the fingerprint due to the lack of dt2w, which unlocks the device even in the pocket...

On the previous devices I owned (OnePlus 2, 3t, 5t) dt2w & fingerprint was blocked as soon as proximity sensor detects anything close, I was expecting this exact behavior to be Standard, it seems however not to be the case :confused: unfortunately!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] simplepinoi177:
A workaround/suggestion...

I had a really bad issue like this back on my Samsung Galaxy S5 (there was a well known bug), and what I ended up using that worked really well was an app called Gravity Screen by Plexnor (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenofffree&hl=en); granted it's been a LOOOONG while since I've used and even seen the app, so I can't say if it actually works on the Pixel 2 XL and/or Android 9 Pie, but if it does work as intended, it may just give you a (at least temporary) solution...

Hi! I am looking for a call filter program that can filter all unwanted or no number incoming calls, I tried photo contacts pro but its slow & sometimes the caller can't hear anything for 1 to 2 seconds repeatly during the conversation. I also tried MagiCall, this program is simple & nice but it can't hang up the no number calls, instead it will pass these calls to my voice mail box directly. It has a option "pick up/hang up", this works what I want but will waste the air time. So anyone can suggest a call filter program to me that can directly hang up the no number calls? Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] wyrm:
Call Firewall
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] chtsang79:
thanks for your reply, I've seen the features of this program but it doesn't mention it can block no number call or not? Do you know it has this feature or not? Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] wyrm:
uh, sorry, can't help you there. I only HAD this program in some of the ROMs I used, never actually USED it.

And auto-rejecting no-number calls would have killed it in my book anyway, because the phone central in my office randomly removes id from outgoing ones, and so I would never receive business calls, lol.

Ask around, or better yet, try searching the forum for impressions/reviews. I know Laurentius26 uses this app in some (if not all) of his ROMs.

[EDIT]

That's what I found in the description:

Features & Options:

a. Accecpt all calls - pretty self explainatory

b. Accept call from My Contacts only - accepts calls from contacts only, others are rejected

c. Reject all calls - pretty self explainatory

d. White List - accepts calls only from the white listed nos

e. Black List - accepts all call except from the black listed nos

f. Black List Pattern - any no STARTING from the black list pattern list is rejected.

for eg. if you enter "123", so all nos STARTING from "123" will be rejected

this is a very nice option with which you can block nos from any particular network, country, city , area or whatever you can think of.

Besides, there is a check window for "Reject unknown/private calls"... I'd call it a YES, then :D

Just tried the Call Firewall, it can block no number calls, but transfer the call to voice mail box directly. Anyway thanks for your suggestion:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] wyrm:
actually, this CallBlock looks like it offers a few ways of blocking the call... See picture at this address

Block method: dropdown list... Wonder what's in there? researchermd, can you check and let us know?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] redbandana:
call firewall works just fine. I use it to block unknown or private numbers.

In addition, you can use your network settings for call barring and block numbers that aren't in your phonebook if you want the extra security of blocking numbers.

The screen you provided should be "CallBlock Ringtone Edition" which is make for palm. For the PPC version, there has no such option can be found :(
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] geiti94:
So like the title says i open here a discussion for TWRP on the S10/S10+.

I can say for have TWRP we needs someone that have experience in treble A/B devices and with vbmeta.img.

The S10/S10+ have the layout of a Treble A/B device with boot.img without ramdisk because is in root folder etc but he dont use it (like A/B treble is disabled)

I allready compiled a TWRP for the S10+ but he cant boot because of vbmeta.img that blocks the recovery with the error message Recovery: Verifing footer failed (6). Thats means Samsung added AVB checks for recovery partition in vbmeta.img.

Now on phones with fastboot is that disabled in 3 mins but on Samsung phones not because we dont have fastboot.

Now for boot TWRP on the S10/S10+ is there someone needed that knows how to edit vbmeta.img for allow the recovery to boot or we need to find out how to resign and add the footer back to custom recovery.

When someone have an idea how to edit vbmeta.img or resign and readd the footer back in custom recovery let me know that because for flash magisk this time is twrp needed and dont works anymore like on S9/N9 with patch boot.img and then flash it with odin because boot.img dont have any ramdisk inside.

What i found are the tools from Samsung byself in his firmware odin tar where in it is a signing key and some tools that i dont know how to use (for get the tools open the ap file from odin tar and in it is a meta-data folder with a zip. zip password ist fota12345)

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mistermidas:
I WAS happy about root.... Until I saw all the details lol. I'm still happy a method exists but I'm kinda glad I'm using the Snapdragon version, so it doesn't give me the temptation to try and root now. I believe that once root is obtained for Snapdragon, all the kinks will be ironed out and will be less restrictive.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Ndaoud360:
I still can't find an answer anywhere but can this root method work on bootloader unlocked Snapdragons?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] floyddroyd:
I've got a G9750 too and am loving it here on t mobile except for no carrier aggregation.

I thought the whole deal with Magisk root was that it didn't break Samsung Pay (even if it does trip Knox).

I'd really like to have true ad blocking and unrestricted wifi tethering, but I agree the risk factor is pretty daunting.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Geekser:
I may be wrong about this, but it is probably unlikely that the TWRP that is being developed for the G975F device will work on Snapdragon phones. That will probably require sepereate development. I suppose it may be possible that it will be easier to build it for unlocked bootloader Snapdrragon devices once it is built for Exynos devices - but I believe it is fairly certain that it will require separate development.

Flashing Twrp - breaks Knox. - Once Knox is broker, Samsung Pay does not work. (Google Pay can work with Magisk Hide, but unless I am mistaken, once you flash anything on a Samsung phone, Samsung pay will not work. Period.

If anyone knows otherwise, I hope they will say something here - but from what I seen on other devices, I am pretty confident this is the case.

the root will only work for EXYNOS it doesn't work for ANY SNAPDRAGON Variant . That is why this was posted in the Exynos Forum section on this website. it doesn't matter if your bootloader is locked or unlocked if its snapdragon this will not work.

My suggestion is to wait for Max Lee's video on YouTube for HighOnAndroid (https://www.youtube.com/user/zedomax). He normally makes videos not only explaining how-to but showing you how-to do it on your phone.

I'm also waiting it out for that, as the overflow of info for someone who never needed to root a phone until this year (like me) is overwhelming.

(and I want to make sure I understood correctly that to power on the S10 with root I'll have to constantly press a different set of buttons instead of the power button? Which will make it a hassle just to get access to something that I can do rootlessly on my S7 like using Substratum).

It doesn't really matter in the end, though, does it?

This year's Snapdragon could be twice as fast as this years Exynos, and I still wouldn't want it if it meant I couldn't root my device.

Besides, the device spends most of its time waiting for user input any way. Unless you have a really unusual workload, you'd never notice the difference between the two models anyway.
