Another idea..

Whenever stuck at boot or a bootloop, if your not afraid to lose data..

Twrp > wipe > format data > type yes.. Then try a boot, give it a 5 mins at least ( Allow at least one bootloop, 3x max ). Be surprise how many times it get er going.

Also rather than flashing mr2 system, try a gsi :good:
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MafiaKitten:
where do i access twrp? if its in recovery mode i cant access it, also what is a gsi? im not afraid to loose any data this is a fresh razerphone 2.

Ok so I've followed the entire thing three times over now and i did not get root, as well as Magisk telling me i don't have it installed all three times. what am i doing wrong?
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] liammc83:
Twrp installed ?
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MafiaKitten:
no, the thread never said i needed it, unless i'm blind. but id like to stay as close to stock as i can.
[Razer Phone 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] liammc83:
You'll need twrp to flash magisk (preferred root)

Unless you are trying to manually patch the boot.IMG and flash boot_a/boot_b , But I'm not sure it'll work.

Best to fastboot flash kernel/twrp combo (recovery) then simply flash magisk 20.3 , And you'll be stock with root..

Once you have twrp recovery installed, It'd be recommended if you want to stay close to stock, Is to flash warriors mr2 stock-ish ROM, then magisk, then Trinity 4.* kernel..

Gl, You'll get it.

Hey guys I'm also having issues with getting it working. I've followed the steps numerous times with no luck. I don't think it's the guides fault as its easy to understand but the problem seems to be with the setup. I was able to manually unlock bootloader but I can't adb to show my device. I downloaded new drivers for phone and adb but no luck. Under device management I can see my phone when it's (no data transfer I believe) plugged in it'll say Razer 2. But in p2p or anything else it says phone 2. I never seem to get the prompt for usb debugging even tho it's turned on in dev options. So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Could it be it just can't be done on my laptop cause I was having issues with my gs8+ as well when using odin and program not finding my device. Anyone have any clues of where I should start looking?

Also if it matters I'm on at&t 9.0 update. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: I just need to flash boot image to finish so not much left to do as I can easily get magisk on. But also is there another way to flash boot image without adb?

For the love of everything holy, can someone please point me to Bootloader drivers? I tried this link https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb and did both methods to download drivers. I am trying to install the drivers while it is in bootloader mode, but windows just says "Windows could not find drivers for your device"

I have tried targeting the drivers under the Android Studio location as well as the manually downloaded drivers. I am using Windows 10 Home 64 bit. I can find the device when in any mode except for bootloader mode (there, it is a device without a driver)

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] fromusofa:
Hi,

Can someone please tell me what is the latest version of OTA update available for Pixel 2016 on Android Oreo 8.1.0 and how to download/Install that? I just flashed 8.1.0 (OPM4.171019.021.P1, Jul 2018) on it from Android Factory Images site. I don't want to Install Android Pie on it yet as xposed framework can not be installed on Pie yet. Please advise, thanks. :cowboy:
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TENN3R:
You can download the entire factory image from the official site, or download the ota from the other official page.

The last one 8.1 is the one from july. If you need to flash it after wipe, go with the factory image, if you just need to update from an older one, go with the ota.

Anyway, a sort of "unofficial" Xposed for Pie is available since january, called EdXposed.

In this thread there is the list of working and not-working modules, and it's always up to date.

I already tested it, and it's working pretty good. Also, EdXposed doesn't trip safetynet, while the classic Xposed does.

Just flash in magisk the 2 zips, install the manager and reboot.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] fromusofa:
Thanks, Trento.

Couple of quick points to confirm, so no other official update of Oreo on Pixel (Sailfish) came out since July 2018? and it will have to be updated to Pie to get any more security patches/updates after July 2018?

if so, it is kinda strange if no monthly or quarterly update for a last major Android release from Google on their own devices for people who for some reasons still want to stick with that? I know I was getting updates on my good old Nexus 5 on Stock Marshmallow long after release of Android Nugget 7.0.

Also, Xposed Framework installed as a module via Magisk also trips SafetyNet check in Android?

Thanks again!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TENN3R:
Yes, that's how google makes updates, since a newer version of android came out all the security stuff and updates are only in the newer version. No more Oreo updates.

No matter how you flash the original Xposed , system or systemless it will always trip saferynet.

Things are different with EdXposed, safetynet passes so you can use all your apps with no problems at all
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] fromusofa:
I will give a try to EdXposed on Pie today and see how it goes. I just can't go without a few Xposed modules installed, i.e. GravityBox, xRenamer, and couple of others, Thanks for the info.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Tr1CkSt3rr:
Hello everyone,

Yesterday i updated my S9+ from Android 8.0 to Android 9.0. Now in the setup of android 9.0 it keeps on checking for updates and never goes past it. I have experienced this probably many times before when i would factory reset my mobile phones here in china. I have no idea how to fix it this time in my S9+. Back in the day in my old phones i would disconnect from Wifi, take out the sim and it would just skip the checking for updates part. Google and all related services are banned here in china maybe this is the reason it won't go past the checking for updates part since it connects to google servers to check for updates and google servers are banned in china in the first place? that's just my guess.

I'm currently in china due to studies and i'll be here for 2-3 more years so i'm gonna run into this problem a lot i think so If someone could tell me a way around it i would really appreciate it.

I apologize for my terrible English.

Firstly, thanks to the person/persons who discovered this little mod and shared it with others. Am sharing this here and on the MODS page as not sure which is the right one.

For me one of the most important things about a phone is the in call quality and volume.. I've always had this particular problem with most phones I used, except the classic and honorable BB Z30 which probably still has the best in call quality (my own opinion) . Even custom ROM's (I've tried many) have never addressed this issue so in case anyone still uses the Redmi 5 Plus and are not aware, I'd like to share a fix I found elsewhere and edited to my liking. My daily driver is the Xenon HD ROM (to me the best ROM I've ever used on any phone that it was developed for) with Android Pie but it might also work on Oreo.

The normal mono speaker on this phone is the best I've experienced, aside from Samsung S6 Edge Plus and although the in call speaker is fine it does not quite reach the volume I desire so below is the edited part of the 'mixer_paths_mtp.xml' found on /SYSTEM/VENDOR/ETC'. You'll find it towards the bottom of the file.

<path name="handset">

<ctl name="RX1 MIX1 INP1" value="RX1" />

<ctl name="RDAC2 MUX" value="RX1" />

<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="92" />

<ctl name="EAR PA Gain" value="POS_8_DB" />

<ctl name="EAR_S" value="Switch" />

</path>

The lines that are important are:

<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="92" />

<ctl name="EAR PA Gain" value="POS_8_DB" />

So after various attempts I found the optimum levels for me (RX1 Digital Volume Value=92 & EAR PA Gain value=8) Not all ears are the same so you may need to edit to your liking.

Hope this helps anyone out there :)

My phone randomly rebooted today and now i'm stuck in a bootloop. not took a backup in ages and I have quite a bit of data that I don't wanna lose. is there any possible way to fix this? I believe a dirty flash should at least allow me to get back into the system and let me back stuff up but I'm not sure which custom firmware i'm on its been that long. is there any possible way to find this out from bootloader or recovery mode?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] strongst:
You cannot read out which rom you have from recovery or bootloader. Is your bootloader locked? Do you have twrp? Which device?

You can try to power off your phone by pressing the power button for 2 minutes and then start it. Also powering off and charging it to 100% can help.

[General Questions and Answers] Dextrosia:
Hi There.

Just wondering if anyone else out there has encountered a similar problem,

I recently purchased a RCA Pro12 Tablet on ebay.

When I received it I noticed a large sticker underneath reading "Demo Unit-Not all features might be fully activated" or something along those lines

Everything seemed to be working fine though, that is, until I decided to install a SD card into the unit for some added storage space.

It does not want to "see" any sd cards I insert into it, but even more than that, when I go to it's settings menu, I cannot find an option for "Storage and USB" anywhere under the settings menu???

(It does however recognise usb sticks plugged into it on it's usb port)

I have googled far and wide, but so far not come across a similar problem on the RCA tablets (or Android 6) out there, so I must admit, i am now completely stumped!

Any ideas as to what to try to get it to recognise sd cards, or to let the "Storage and USb" options appear again under it's settings menu?

Oh yes, it is running android 6. (Marshmallow)

Many Thanks,

Gary

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] radi0chik:
So I use zello, and also have made use of the "zello overlay button" in the google play store. It puts a little soft button on your screen (you can move it wherever) so you can talk on zello by pushing that, instead of having to have zello open/on top. It works flawlessly on my Huawei Mate 9, and other previous phones I had. But it will not enable zello on my s9+ duo.

I also have a headset with a "ptt" button on it, which, again, on my mate9 and previous phones, will allow you to press and hold down the button while you talk, and release it when you're done. This does not trigger/work on the 9+. I CAN enable the hardware PTT button to "toggle" which means tap once, it turns on the mic, then you talk, then tap again to turn it off. Yes, I CAN learn to do that, but I can't for the life of me figure out why neither the hardware or software buttons will "PTT" like they're intended to do for zello. I've uninstalled and reinstalled zello, it has all the permissions. The overlay doesn't require permissions, and of course neither does the hardware/headset..

Any suggestions on where to look? I've not rooted this s9+ but I'm not opposed to it if it fixes my problem. It's running stock everything right now. TIA!

I have just bricked my hermes 30 mins ago tsk the day i finally fixed it (upper right hand screen tap) (bought it cheap black market brand new failed to check forum first). After it was stable for hours, while connected i upgrade to radio 1.43 and after it installed, it was still plugged and poof. screen faded and no more. not even a red light. (is there a solution?) totally ddead.

anyway I was thinking of buying a tytn II for replacement. should i buy? after all the raves and complaints im not so sure. im buying this because of u guys even if im new. i saw how u guys fixed up the hermes and i loved it even when it was bugging.

Usage summary :

I will abuse it. use it and charge it if battery dies while using it.

I will play games and test its capabilities to all its extent.

Application crazy and of course calls.

I have read of the rlod, battery life sucks, heats up too fast, unproper video drivers, software not working. So should i buy? thanks. im buying 2 coz im going to give it as a gift. but before i throw cash, please since u all have it and a lot of u guys are power users, should i buy it or go for a glofiish or hp ipaq 614 instead?

thanks.
