[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] Spaceminer:
1. Unlocking your bootloader does not void your warranty.

2. That's a recovery loop. It doesn't look like it, but it is.

3. How to fix that crap. -Flash stock firmware, wipe data, cache, and DDR through fastboot, then issue the command fastboot reboot. Let it encrypt, then you can boot into recovery normally. If you don't let it encrypt right after flashing stock firmware then you'll loop again.
[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] Amitie10g:
1.- Maybe, depending the country. So, the agent who attended me told me the warranty is void just when unlocking the Bootloader. Motorola's technical service will give the last word about that, as I have re-installed the stock rom.

2.- As I told, the phone don't seems to power on and no charging light. I've connected to the computer and it never identifies as anything than a brick.

3.- Per above, Fastboot won't recognize the device and unable to send commands to the device in any way. In other words, the device seems to be completely dead.
[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] Amitie10g:
The vendor where I purchased the device just told me they will replace the device under the warranty.

So, I'll apply the updates via OTA and tell you the results, but I'll not unlock the bootloader, but backup upload the ROM via Fastboot and TWRP, and upload it.
[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] Amitie10g:
I've finally gone to the vendor to retire the replacement device.

However, they don't have the Moto G6 Play available anymore. Instead, they gave me the Moto G6 (better device except for the battery) for free, as the failure has been covered under the warranty.

Advices:

Ask your vendor the repair costs for failures caused by failed firmware updates. I assume Motorola didn't checked even if the bootloader is unlocked (as the device seems to be completely dead), they just decided to replace the device.

Don't send the device to the technical service if it powers on and Fastboot is working unless you're prepared to pay the repairs.

Don't try to install the Android Pie update with the bootloader unlocked and firmware altered.
[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] blowingoff:
acutally, updating with unlocked bootloader causes nothing. that might have been a hardware problem of some source, idk...

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 PM ----------

but unlocking the bootloader does void your warranty tho
[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] Amitie10g:
Indeed the warranty is void after unlocking the bootloader, but Motorola haven't noticed (and even checked it) as the device completely died.

¿So, where is actually stored the Bootloader? In the Flash or a separated ROM chip. As a previous flashing attempt may caused failed write to key partitions.
[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] Spaceminer:
Not true. My bootloader is unlocked, and Motorola is well aware of that since I had to ask them for the key. Unlocking it by itself doesn't void it. It's what you do afterwards that might void it. Like running an over volted kernel and frying something. Check the screen shot. My warranty is still good until Aug of this year. And if I really wanted to I could just relock the bootloader before sending it in, which blows that theory out of the water.
[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] Starkiller2:
i replaced one under warranty with no issue. with an unlocked boot loader. twice.

Problems with p3300 when plugging it into the computer to sync with Mic Outlook 2007. No problem with version of activesync or office.

Does work occasionally, but when you disconnect and try and reconnect it freezes up. Forced to turn off and turn on. (Which is the only function it recognizes)

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] tawa2525:
Hi all,

I wonder if you guys still using this phone as your daily driver? And how do you feel about its performance?which rom are you using?

Mine is on havoc and its not so responsive.

I consider buying a new one but still waiting to this notch era to end (no notch no drop no mechanical slide, etc.)

*** My battery is at its 900 cycle, and it has 2xxx something capacity left, I wonder if there is "battery scandle" like apple use to have? ***
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] empiricalCPU:
I too am using Havoc OS 2.3 and performance is pretty good. Most games run pretty well with the exception of a few games like PUBG and Shadowguns: Legends. Regular applications are very snappy. But that isn't to say there are any problems with using Pie, most notably bad heating issues when watching youtube videos and severe instability issues.

Even my battery shows that it has only 2605 mAh capacity and I definitely feel the loss in capacity with my phone barely lasting for more than half a day.

As for your performance issues, check your kernel setting or try flashing a different kernel or just do a clean flash of the ROM.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] tawa2525:
which kernel are you using? , I'm always do a clean flash every time but do the OTA update couple time, will it effect my phone performance using OTA update?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] playmokill:
Mine is on latest stock ROM and it just returned from the authorized service center due to a problem on the screen. I replaced the screen the battery.

It's my daily driver and for me it works as new. It's very, I mean VERY responsive and I don't feel that I need a new one. I just would buy a new one to have the latest tech on my hands regarding screen, camera and so on.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
Stock OOS. Just as fast and responsive as it was when I got it 2 years ago. Any "slowdown" can probably be attributed to the fact that apps and even websites hog up more and more device resources every year. I can't detect any slowdown due to Apple-style "throttling".

Of course, a newer device will always feel faster and smoother. We often don't realize how much our devices "lag", until we make that switch. But personally, I'm still happy with the performance on the 3T. It does everything I need it to, and don't plan to upgrade my device in the near future.

Nice Find Thanks!
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
You are welcome!

The following does not work, installing only the ROM.

Camera

Bluetooth

Youtube plays very well

Very smooth

Microphone works.

Wifi works perfectly.

The only problem is that the internal storage is not accessible.

It can not even save screenshots, no access. ( it is fix on the 3-28-2019 version )
[TouchPad General] muerte33:
I dirty flashed the 13.x over 12.5x and did not do the open gapps, so I will have to sideload them I guess at some point since I cannot get to internal storage like you said.

It boots up, but lots of stuff does not work (like bluetooth). At least the March 2019 security updates are in place!

Thanks
[TouchPad General] johnbelloh:
I can't believe we now have Pie on the old work horse. Thank you so much. I wiped everything but internal storage and did a clean install with open pico gapps. I had previously installed the DU swap in the boot directory and booting with it goes to a boot loop. I went back to 8.1 and deleted the DU swap in the boot directory and did another clean install of 9. It came right up and the few apps I have installed work. I tried installing YouTube but the play store says this version is not compatible. It won't even show it as an option. There is no access to storage from either the files app or ES File Explorer. I even tried USB with Windows and android shades out the file transfer option. All my other Pie devices give you an option in setting to set up the SD as either removeable or internal memory. I am wondering if we need to reformat internal memory to get access. I hate to kill it since I have all my install files there as well as TP Toolbox. Any suggestions welcome.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
This is the first version of Pie and it boots and works, but the permissions are set for root as the user and it does not allow access to the internal storage. ( is all fixed on version 3-28-2019 )

Flintman is working on it and fixing that issue. Keep in mind it takes time and dedication to do this.

I installed the full version of Google Open gapps that comes with youtube and it works perfectly fine. Pie will be optimize as soon as the access permission is fix.

The Tablet soon will be working better than ever and all updated to the latest software available!
[TouchPad General] johnbelloh:
First

First, A big thank you to Flintman! I went ahead and flashed with mini gapps as the smallest package containing YouTube and it works fine. I will wait for the storage until it is fixed. The only other question I have is on partition sizes. I left them at the recommended sizes for the DU swap. I may be wasting memory but all appears to be working. I have TP Toolbox resident just in case. Thanks again. Also I assume we should not use the SKZ kernel since this looks later.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
There is no SKZ kernel for Pie at the moment and it will not work with Pie 9 as it only works with 8.1.

The stock Kernel of Pie 9 is not optimize yet to use the swap partition, as soon as Pie is fix it will be available and the system will improve performance and stability as more RAM (Memory) will be available in Android. (Update Pie is completely optimize more than any other ROM

[TouchPad General] johnbelloh:
Very impressive. Every app I have installed works including storage. I have 6 touchpads including a brand new 4G model. Is the plan to add swap to the ROM or will it be a separate install? If I can be of any assistance testing just ask. Thank you to all involved.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Android Pie is optimize and is swap enable from the core, all settings are set to be use with the swap partition.

Flintman did a marvelous job incorporating all the changes and making Pie available for the HP Touchpad with more improvement on its way that it could be the best ROM ever. I will update this guide soon.
[TouchPad General] Steelskinz:
It is worth it if i'm on 8.1 with swap ? I saw that yesterday we have got a update.. :)
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
If you are using 8.1 now and enjoying your setup, then my recommendation is to keep using it that way until Pie which is 100% stable now with more features than 8.1, gets Bluetooth working and any other minor issues resolved. As of now Pie is working as Oreo. Pie is using the swap partition and fully optimized as 8.1 and 7.1.2. The only thing to do is to flash it just like any other ROM.
[TouchPad General] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi all,

I keep popping back from time to time, and each time just keeps getting better and better... We're now up to Android 9 Pie ?? WOW !!! Fantastic work guys to all involved... :D

Couple of questions if you don't mind...

1) I'm currently on Android 8.1 Oreo, not sure which build or when.. without picking it up yet. Is it likely this will already be using SWAP partition, or do I still have to go ahead with it?

2) If I don't have a SWAP partition, and go ahead and create one... If I want to use an older DM rom at a later date. Do I have to remove SWAP, or will it just ignore the partition on older builds?

3) So we can use WebOS and Android 9 side by side, sharing the SWAP ??

4) Is there anyway to make the Boot partition larger than 32mb, or is that set in stone?? - and where can I find the uImage file for ToolBox, so I can have that as one of my selectable boot options.

Thanks, Lister

Hi [MENTION=8005714]HP_TOUCHPAD[/MENTION],

First of all, thank you for the very prompt and DETAILED reply, this is perfect and contains EXACTLY what I need to know. And apologies for the delay getting back to you, my brothers son has been in hospital last couple of days... So been a bit back and forth.

Thank you for your post, very clearly laid out and full of useful information. I shall follow that guide and re-create a swap partition. Had a quick look last night, and looks like Flintman has re-compiled all his old roms to support SWAP partition too. So should make them smoother still.. :)

Thanks once again...

Hi [MENTION=8005714]HP_TOUCHPAD[/MENTION],

I've just picked up my Touchpad, and I appear to be running a build of Oreo 8.1.0, the Dirty Unicorns 12.5.xx.

However, in TWRP.... I only appear to have around 296k free, and not enough to store the Toolbox uImage (around 10mb) in there?? Any idea's what I can free up??

The largest files I can see are:

uImage.Android 5.4mb (boots my Android install)

uImage.moboot 63.KiB (boot manager)

uImage.TWRP 8.7mb (boots TWRP)

uImage.webOS 3.2mb (boots WebOS)

uImage-2.6.35-palm-tenderlion 3.2mb (no idea??)

System.map-2.6.35-palm-tenderlion 1.4mb (no idea??)

There are many other files and folders in the \boot partition. But not sure what, or if... I can free up any of those files/folders??

Thanks, Lister
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
You are welcome.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
The /boot partition is 32MB, It shows that WebOS is also installed. Before moving any files from /boot make sure to do a backup just in case if the wrong file gets removed. The ToolBox does not need to be in the /boot directory to be use . It can be loaded into the memory by placing the Tablet into Recovery Mode and from the PC with the novacom drivers install load it.

novacom boot mem:// <uImage.ToolBox

The ToolBox will be loaded into memory and use for anything need it, there is no need to keep it in the /boot.

The most important file to be in /boot uImage.moboot 63.KiB (boot manager)

ttinstall folder!? Are you using the old TP Toolbox? I thought me and HP_TOUCHPAD gave you links

to the more modern methods, I don't recall in either method their being a ttinstall folder, the last time I heard that term was in 2015. Please tell us how you are currently trying to install, and give us the names of all the zip files you are using.

Hello,

I downloaded both android and google apps (pico), installed on my HP touchpad, (32GB) but it is slow. I know the device is old just would like to make sure I installed properly. for some apps, after a min or so, pop up show close app, wait, send feedback.

any ideas?

thank you
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Android 9 ( Pie ) is optimized to use a swap partition, this makes it possible to use more RAM.

Look at this Youtube video to have an idea on how it should perform:

The Super Open Google Apps was used to demonstrate the maximum capabilities of the Tablet when using a swap partition, also the 1836 CPU frequency.

Follow this guide:

https://xdaforums.com/t/hp-touchpad-optimize-for-all-android-roms-with-swap-partition.3901773/

Make sure to flash the maximum CPU frequency the Tablet can handle for the best performance.
[TouchPad General] Epanosian:
Hello,

I did 'Automatic wipe...', and in 'recovery mode, advanced/terminal/ls ' can't see /swap

I flush using "ev_tenderloin-9-userbuild-2019.08.30.zip", still no /swap.

I did "HpTp_MaXtreme_1674_CPU_Universal_Optimize_Swap_Evervolv_v9_elginsk8r_Pie.zip" and still no /swap when I tried 'recovery mode, advanced/terminal/ls '

am I missing anything.

thank you,

[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
WebOS devices ( HP Touchpad ) use LVM to partition the internal storage ( file system )

The Automatic Wipe, create all the Android partitions plus /swap

For TWRP Recovery to list (ls) all the partitions it must be mounted first by adding /swap to the fstab. ( This is not need it, as there is no use for /swap in Recovery TWRP.

To get all the partitions active on the HP Touchpad the following commands must be use either on the ( Recovery mode advanced Terminal) or connecting the Tablet to PC and use the ADB Shell in a terminal.

First step: in TWRP ( Mount ) - check on Boot ( LVM resides in the boot partition and it must be mounted first )

Go to the directory of LVM:

cd /boot/usr/sbin

Enter this command to list all activate partitions ( there is a dot before / ) ./

./lvm.static lvscan

The following commands was enter using ADB Shell on a Linux Terminal:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ adb shell
~ # cd /boot/usr/sbin
/boot/usr/sbin # ./lvm.static lvscan
ACTIVE '/dev/store/cm-system' [2.20 GiB] contiguous
ACTIVE '/dev/store/cm-cache' [200.00 MiB] contiguous
ACTIVE '/dev/store/swap' [1.00 GiB] contiguous
ACTIVE '/dev/store/media' [1.00 GiB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/store/cm-data' [9.80 GiB] inherit

The /swap partition can easily be check on Android by using the command free

The command free can be enter in a Terminal emulator in Android or using ADB Shell as this example:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ adb shell
shell@tenderloin:/ $ free
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 867733504 754536448 113197056 0 11079680
-/+ buffers/cache: 743456768 124276736
Swap: 1073737728 0 1073737728

For more detail information on how LVM works on the Tablet looks at the following guides:

Thank you so much, all good.. happy COVID-less 2021
[TouchPad General] johnbelloh:
I have one question to clear up as too where the swap actually resides. Do I need to leave an extra 500MB in the media partition or in unallocated?
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
The swap partition resides in the internal storage of the Tablet. Is no different than a hard drive with different partitions. It is a permanent 500 MB space that is reserved for the OS Android to use. Is a native Linux swap formatted partition exactly the same as when the HP Touchpad left the HP factory with WebOS installed. (webOS is 400MB) The one created for (Android is 500MB)

The swap partition is permanent and not accessible by Android file manager or TWRP Recovery.

It can only be modified by the Logical Volume Manager (LVM). The partition manager, which can reduce it or expand it. To expand the swap partition another already created partition must be reduce to allocate the extra space to swap. This is all done in a Terminal window connected by adb shell.

In this guide I explained in detail the use of LVM in the HPTP.

, everything is completely optimized. Do not install any Kernel or performance Apps, there is nothing to change.
[TouchPad General] johnbelloh:
I have flashed both your "Create Android Swap Partition 500MB.zip" and "Removed Android Swap Partition.zip" and see no change in the media partition as described in the flash script. I don't think I am getting swap. When I first installed Pie on one of my touchpads it had previously been partitioned from your 8.1 partitions and Pie ran much faster. I went back and did a clean install and now it runs slow.
[TouchPad General] HP_TOUCHPAD:
To install the swap partition for the first time the following flash file must be flashed first as explained in the guide.

Wipe_All_and_Create_Android_with_Swap_Partition

From the guide:

Re-creating Android Swap Partition again from already rebuild process (this means that the swap file was created, but you changed your mind and deleted it.)

After deleting the swap partition, you would like to create it again, there is no need to rebuild all the file system, just flash this file.

The Android file system will be untouched, the USB_MEDIA will be reduce to 500 MB and extra space will be allocated to the swap partition of 500 MB.

Move or copy any files in the USB_MEDIA to Android Data or PC before re creating the swap partition.

Click here to download Create_Android_Swap_Partition_500MB

My advice is to flash the zip file Wipe_All_and_Create_Android_with_Swap_Partition again and make sure you read very careful the directions.

To make sure you have a swap partition, using adb shell command in a PC when Android is running type

free -h

it will show the memory available plus swap used.

The command can be enter using adb shell or in TWRP Terminal, is the same:

First the command must be enter in this directory (where LVM is located )

/boot must be mounted first using TWRP

cd /boot/usr/sbin

it will show that direcory

/boot/usr/sbin#

The command is ./lvm.static lvs

in the terminal it looks like this:

/boot/usr/sbin# ./lvm.static lvs

Is there an easy way to enable swap on a touchpad with Webos and Dirty unicorn V13 already installed so that I can keep webos intact and don't need to start over? Just need to add swap to current setup.
