[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] spawnlives:
1. Unlocking the bootloader allows you the ability to install non official Samsung signed software. Eg: custom recovery, root, custom ROMs, .kernels etc.

Basically it allows you to modify your phone.

2. Flashing official Samsung stock firmware does not require an unlocked bootloader (OEM).like the firmware you mentioned above So you do not need the option turned on and can flash at anytime.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheMadScientist:
Ahhh ****. I totally missed his question ??

For some reason i swear he asked what oem unlock does.

lol - made me re-read the question could've just said no you don't need OEM unlock to flash Samsung firmware.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nelsonviga:
Hello everyone. I use a Samsung Galaxy S5: SM-G906S previously used lineage 15.1 with no problems but I received a notification of an update to migrate from lineage 15.1 to lineage 16 and recently I downloaded Lineage 16 ROM on the official site of the lineage and the google applications on official site. So after the installation, when I try to add my google account to complete with the system configuration the screen simply goes black (google services stops working) and forcing me to use the system without google account which is embarrassing for the use of many programs that require a google account.

Possible solutions that I tried and did not work out are:

* I downloaded an older Lineage 16 version and did the automatic update but it did not work.

* I cleared the google services cache: It did not work

* I deleted all data from google services: It did not work

* I downloaded and installed the latest version of google services: It did not work

So by the way. If anyone has a possible solution thank you for helping to overcome this problem, because I liked the new ROM LINEAGE 16 and would like to be able to explore more the functionality of this ROM. Hugs

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
We've all had questions. Some of us actually search for our answers, instead of taking the lazy route and ask a question that has been answered a thousand times by now.

[MENTION=1952778]siggey[/MENTION]'s comment was pretty much spot on. Most people who frequent this site shouldn't root, since they almost always have no reason to do so. It's why in this situation I'll ask if the person knows what root is and then ask why they need it.

His comment to you is unhelpful and useless because it doesn't simply give the answer on a site where the first rule is to search before you post. The OP needs to read, I agree. But the site has a search function for a reason, and perhaps if more people bothered with it you'd see fewer posts like siggey's or mine.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] InzaneBolter:
Yes I know I read about that earlier. Only 1 year left on my phone anyway and I'll change to something new.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
I've heard of several instances where warranty and insurance claims were denied because the phone was sent back after being rooted, with a custom ROM, etc. If it is restored to out of box before it's sent back then obviously it would be fine but in cases where that wasn't possible claims were denied.

I don't know anyone who's tried to file a warranty or insurance claim on a Pixel device where they sent it back rooted, with a custom ROM, etc but I'd be surprised if it was any different than Nexus or any other phones. I'd have to look at the warranty and insurance details for my Pixel 2 XL.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bigmatt503:
Not true. Google has NEVER gave a crap about root on my two warranty claims
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
I must agree with the latter two responses;

Google sells unlocked bootloader devices knowing what will be done with them.

I returned my Google purchased 6P, told them it was rooted do they need my to return it to stock, they didn't care, told me to return it. Received a brand new 6P.

Thought I bricked my 2 XL, called Google, told them it was rooted but couldn't get it to do anything but bootloop, they didn't care, told me to return it.

I ended up figuring out the problem and kept it (because SOME people were getting refurbished 2 XLs and I didn't want to chance it unless I had to).

Bottom line, Google doesn't care about rooted devices, at least in my two experiences and apparently in other's cases as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
Then there is a big inconsistency with how the rules are applied. I know several people that had a Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 5X or Nexus 6P that had warranty and/or insurance claims denied because they were rooted, had a custom ROM or an unlocked bootloader. Google didn't even handle warranties on Nexus phones. The actual manufacturer did. I think Google might directly handle warranty claims for Pixel devices so maybe the warranty policy changed for Pixel devices but luckily I've never had to test that on my Pixel 2 XL. For insurance claims Google still doesn't handle that. Pixel Protect coverage is a third party company called Assurant so it's up to that company to decide if they will cover phones that have been "tampered" with and they usually don't.

[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] TracfoneChuck:
I have an ex-Tracfone G6 model xt1925dl.

I am ultimately trying to get from my current state (locked bootloader that neither tracfone nor motorola will unlock) to install twrp and pie.

There is lots of advice available, but my first barrier seems to be in identifying my device.

- fastboot getvars refers to it (in several places) as 'ali'

- some descriptions of it refer to this 'dl' version as 'blaine'

- some say it's equivalent to xt1925-10

- others say it's a straight out xt1925-4

Can anyone sort this out please?

[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] jgro1976:
So I just got my shiny new Nokia 8 and it seems to be updated to the latest version of Pie. Reading through all the root forums/threads, I'm noticing a couple issues with my phone that I'm not seeing mentioned:

-In Dev settings, OEM unlocking is off and grayed out, I can't toggle it.

-When I try to access download mode/bootloader (volume down/plug in cable from pc) my screen does a little flashy thing and then goes straight to the battery percentage.

-I can ADB devices just fine and see the phone, when I ADB reboot bootloader, the phone gets stuck on a screen showing "powered by android'', with "download mode" in the upper left corner, and any fastboot commands return absolutely nothing.

Any tips or suggestions?

Many thanks
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] MDV106:
- you cant toggle it because you have not unlocked the bootloader. Sometimes even after you unlock it it will be greyed out, which isnt of importance. To unlock the bootloader downgrade to Oreo November update by sideloading the relevant ROM, then follow the the official HMD instructions.

- Make sure USB debugging is turned on under developer options.

- Are you attempting to boot into the OS or recovery here? Abd reboot is enough to boot into your system. To boot into recovery use adb reboot recovery. Or do it manually using the keys.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] jgro1976:
Ok, everything I've read so far says to make sure OEM unlock is enabled before you do anything else, so you've confused me now. And none of the guides talk about sideloading the ROM, so you've thrown a new twist with that as well.

USB debugging is enabled, and my computer sees the device via adb devices, but if I try adb reboot recovery, all I get is the little android icon with the red triangle over him, and if I try adb reboot bootloader, basically nothing happens. And I wasn't trying to boot into the OS or recovery, I'm not a noob but maybe this phone is just different enough from what I'm used to I guess.

So basically I'm stuck right now, can't boot into recovery, can't sideload a ROM, can't boot into the bootloader/download mode either.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] jgro1976:
Actually, thank you, you got me thinking and I was able to get downgraded to the Oreo, got my code from Nokia and unlock.key, now the only thing I'm still having a hard time with is my computer won't detect my phone in fastboot mode. Works just fine in normal ADB commands, but no fastboot...

You'd think my drivers are all fine and that since ADB sees the device, but maybe not?
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] jgro1976:
Bootloader, unlocked! Now if I can get the rest of my home wireless **** to work this well/easily, thank you for getting me pointed in the right direction, all good here (I hope).
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] MDV106:
Im guessing you finally realised they after getting the android icon with the red triangle u have to press volume up and hold it then tap the power key to enter the recovery. Good to know you managed to unlock the bootloader eventually.

A lot of people have been having issues with fastboot, especially on Windows machines . Try restarting the shell or use a different USB port on your computer?also maybe try a different driver version and see if it helps.

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] KodiaKro:
I have a weird issue with the phone camera.

Sometimes, if i take a photo outside and it's sunny the phone freezes and i have to manually restart it. Sometimes it even restarts on its own, instead of freezing. If i take the photo inside, or it's not sunny outside it works great.

The issue started to appear very seldom, but now it's almost all the time, but it's still not 100% of the time. If it froze/restarted once, then it will again. The most i tried consecutively is 6 times i believe. But if i change location, or wait a while it might work. Also if i change a setting (like 9MP quality, instead of 13MP) it might work a while, but then it starts to freeze/restart again. Also i noticed a few times, that the photo has a narrow vertical line of variable width of randomly colored pixels.

All of this points to some issue/fault with the color camera/light sensor, especially since if i use the BW mode then i have no issues at all.

BUT, if i use the panoramic mode, the phone does not freeze/restart, so now it looks like a software issue :(

Next thing i want to try is a factory reset, but this is kind of a last resort since i was never lucky with backups, and always somethings got lost.

Does any of you know what the issue might be and what i could try before the factory reset?
