Not exactly a newbie but I've been on iPhone for a while and I'm reaquainting myself with rooting.

But I made a made a stupid mistake. I accidentally downloaded a rom for the pixel 2 rather than three and flashed it. I can't get back into recovery or boot up at all. It gets into bootloader menu however.

My question is does flashing stock image from fastboot delete my internal storage? i.e. where my nandroid would be stored? If so, any way to keep storage files? Or do I just need to start at square one?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Edit the flash-all.bat file and remove the -w near the end. That will save user data and apps. It may not work though, ROMs often require a data wipe when you remove them. But since yours never booted up I am hopeful.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] alsgarage:
Thanks! I'll be able to give it a shot later. I'll let you know[emoji106]
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] robocuff:
You can flash the factory image without wiping the phone. However, to do this, you need to edit a file named flash-all.bat (if you're using Linux, you need to edit the file named flash-all.sh). Open the file in a text editor and near the end of the file you'll see a line that says this.

fastboot -w update image-blueline-pq2a.190405.003.zip

Remove the -w so it looks like this.

fastboot update image-blueline-pq2a.190405.003.zip

Save it, then close it, then reopen it to make sure the -w is gone. Doing that should allow you to flash it without wiping the phone. That said, since you flashed the wrong image to begin with, I don't know if it will boot without wiping data or not. You can give it a try though. If it doesn't boot, you can add the -w back and do it again. Hopefully it'll boot with the -w removed. Can't hurt to try.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TPMJB:
Hey all,

I picked up an H932 and the rooting process seemed easy enough. I have TWRP installed and I got through the whole tutorial without a hitch.

However, I've read elsewhere of people upgrading to different versions of stock before installing a custom rom? I guess I'd still be on 10d, and I'm thinking to install Havoc OS unofficial as it runs great on my H930.

Edit: Nevermind I guess. I installed 20s fullstock and that worked fine, rebooted into recovery and installed Havoc. Don't really have a way to test it though.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
The problem was fingerprint sensor didn't work right on custom ROMs if you stayed on Nougat after root. You had to upgrade back to Oreo before installing custom ROMs.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TPMJB:
Yeah I did some more reading then found the 20s thread. I installed 20s and went straight to Havoc.

I need to do some testing though.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Lord of Hell:
I was on Stock MIUI Rom, unlocked bootloader and rooted with Magisk and left the system partition in read-only state. Installed the latest ota update 10.2.2.0 and everything went smooth. After restating the device I was not able to turn on the Wifi. Every time I turn it on, it automatically turns off the toggle in couple of seconds. I'm able to use the mobile data and Bluetooth.

I have factory reset the device and the issue still persists. No physical damage or no system modifications done.

Does anyone else face the issue?

As soon as I got my S10+, I was impressed by the display and how the white balance was. The whites were really close toe pure white without any tint. But when I updated it, the screen became a bit warm. As I had a perfect White balance before, is there any way (without downgrading...) to achieve it again? I've tried everything there's available in settings.

Give it time to see if it changes. I noticed the screen does show warm tint at times and sometimes it is just too noticeable. You can also go in display settings to manually change the white balance

hello guys, if first like to start off by saying that i did try searching but was unable to find a solution. I currently have my email address at msn.com. I'd like to be able to access my email and recieve notifications of new emails on my phone.i realize that windows live program does not work with the tmobile proxy, so i found a program that forwards email from msn to gmail.com so i figured id use outlook to check my forwarded email, but outlook wont connect through the proxy. what im asking now is whether theres a program out there that allows me to check my email (msn.com or gmail.com) through the tmobile proxy? thanks in advance and all answers are appreciated. :)
[General Topics] molesaied88:
bump .
[General Topics] Akukame:
I think you might be a little mistaken. The 5.99 T-mobile plan includes unlimitted free e-mail. As long as your outlook e-mail uses a standard port (which gmail does), then you don't need to use any sort of proxy or anything to get it to work, it just works.

If you do have the proxy set up, then you would need to make a second wap profile that circumvents the proxy.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] StridAst:
just picked up a chinese Mi 9 version. I just found out the hard way that xiaomi no longer supports flashing the global ROM to the chinese version. :( Bue when I went to install google play, I ran into a hicup. The google installer app errors. it installs the first two frameworks just fine, but it errors on the 3rd. Google Play Services apparently is already installed and at a more recent version.

I manually downloaded a google play apk and got that running ok, but does anyone know what the last apks the installer would be installing are?

I've also just had a problem with this. I bought a new Chinese Mi 10 lite zoom about two weeks ago, spent some time figuring out how to install google play, got it to work, but since it updated a few days ago to the MIUI 12.1.3Stable version, play has since stopped working. I tried the google installer app and have the same problem: it errors on the 3rd and I get a message saying there was a problem parsing the package....

I'm not a developer or really much of a computer guy (but have made it this far!), any help to solve this issue would be appreciated
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tstack77:
I'm a little lost on the differences between the shield and every other android phone I've owned. What difference does the developer image offer compared to simply unlocking the bootloader and installing magisk through TWRP on the shipped firmware?

Ultimately I want to root for all the obvious reasons, but also use magisk hide to keep PSVue and the like still working with root undetected. It seems that the developer image is pre-rooted, can that be hidden?

Thanks for any clarification
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jionny:
No it is not, as long as your bootloader is unlocked and you follow the directions on the thread how to install Magisk you will achieve root
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mLgz0rn:
You don't get true root with the ota firmware though.

You won't have write access to the root dir.

Which you will if you use the developer image through adb, or by disabling dm-verity.

You won't be able to do that on the ota.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Largewoodenspoon:
So on non dev if I disable dm verity with magisk, I can write to system.

Or is it not that simple.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mLgz0rn:
No you won't be able to get write access on the non dev.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jionny:
I was referring to the Pro version
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mLgz0rn:
Does not matter if it's the pro version or not.

You can only get write access to the root dir using the developer image.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jionny:
Definitely not true I unlocked bootloader and did not use developer image installed magisk, patched and gained full write privileges
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roamin64:
This ^^

I don't understand why so many people say they don't have write privileges. I've not installed TWRP or any other custom recovery, I've simply used ADB to fastboot (boot only , not flashed) with an image that was posted in the magisk thread. Once loaded , I installed Magisk , let it root my shield, used x-plore and verified that I can change permission on any file in the system folder. All my root related functions work without any issue. Shield 2017 with 7.2.2
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mLgz0rn:
On what firmware version?

I doubt you can write to the /system and /data dir if you are on 7.2+.

---------- Post added at 14:37 ---------- Previous post was at 14:31 ----------

Which image was that?

You can't get write access on the ota that comes with the updater on the shield without modifying the kernel and build.prop.

Hence why they are making a developer image that is prerooted.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roamin64:
It was the boot.img posted by ACiDxCHRiST in that post : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78496132&postcount=163

He has since taken down the boot.img file, but I had saved it in my pc when he posted it. I never flashed it , because I didn't want to brick anything. That is why I had only "fastboot boot boot.img" . Worked fine on 7.2.1 , and then again worked fine on 7.2.2. I haven't tried to root 7.2.3 yet. If you need that exact file to test , I can provide it to you in a few hours when I get back home.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jionny:
Exactly and I also use x-plore
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mLgz0rn:
I'm pretty sure that would be the boot.img from the developer build, hence why you can get write access, since it has the modifications needed.

But if you do find it, please share it so I can check :p.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roamin64:
That boot.img was patched , most probably by magisk itself. Anyways, sent you the link via PM.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jionny:
magisk makes the modifications,, you patch the boot img with magisk then transfer it to your pc then abd fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img... really is that simple.. Has nothing to do with the developers image
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alden Andrade:
Hello friends, I'm currently on software version 5.4 . My issue is with PUBG. It lags at crucial times and is getting pretty frustrating. I've read somewhere that downgrading to 5.2 helps. I have the US LTE model , non rooted. I have rooted before but it was a long while ago and didn't keep up with most of the changes. I unrooted because of the OTA update thing. I need to go back to 5.2, preferably stock US LTE version. Which files do I need and flashing steps required.. I have flashed ROMs and rooted in the past, but it was ages ago and all knowledge is rusty af.

Please point me in the right direction.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigcletus:
I just did the same thing on my US LTE model. All you need is the recovery image from Nvidia and adb environment installed on your PC.

Only thing, I could not find the US 5.2 image but the wow version works fine. I don't use LTE so not sure if it works or not. It runs much better on 5.2 than 5.4.

Thanks to [MENTION=2712580]cstark27[/MENTION] for the Magisk Mod, and [MENTION=8563490]S8rooted&tooted[/MENTION] for troubleshooting a non-patch fix.

So there's an issue with our phones that makes the sound either sound clear, muffled (some call it bass heavy), and then it changes back and forth seemingly randomly. There are three things you can try without using the Magisk Mod, and all three seem to work with one that I personally found to work the best.

1. If you're playing YouTube videos you can pause/play the video. This seems to change the sound either way depending on how it sounds before pausing.

2. Raise volume to 100%, and then back down to where you want it. This seems to be consistent to have the sound be clear without the muffled bass sound.

3. (This is the best for me) Turn off any equalizers any apps have, and only have Google Play Music's equalizer on, and set to Normal without Bass boost or Surround sound on (as in the screenshot). There is a chance something starts the randomness again, and I found the best solution is to reboot, and then it will be good again for a good while (hence the title "Semi-Perm").

I've been using number 3 testing it in all apps I can think of that has sound/music from games to YouTube to simple apps that just make a click (even clicks can be different when the sound changes overall). I have yet to hear any sound change to muffled/bass, and even the top and bottom speakers seem even again. Pausing/playing, raising sound to 100% then back down, the sound is consistently clear.

Here's two links to the other thread with the Magisk Mod, so you can try either of these three methods, or try the Magisk Mod. Hopefully Google will sort it out when they release next months update/fixes.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79294970&postcount=15

PS - Another great step to take is to submit feedback through your phone if you have this issue. I've done it myself, so if Google keeps getting feedback, hopefully they will take quicker action.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bobbyphoenix:
I think I found the main trigger. It may be known already, but I just put the pieces together. Since if the sound gets muffled, and turning the volume to 100% then back down via the physical volume buttons, and the sound gets clear again, I decided to test how long the volume stays clear after a reboot since a reboot always seemed to produce clear sounds every time. It seems to be steady clear through all apps, videos, and sounds as long as I don't touch the physical volume buttons. The moment I change the volume via the physical buttons my sound starts acting up. Say I'm in an app, and I want to change the media volume. Well if I use the physical buttons of course the volume changes, but like I said the sound suddenly becomes unstable, and I notice the change from clear to muffled soon after, but if I use the volume sliders through the settings section I never have an issue. I did it a couple of times, and it's been very consistent, so now I just use a shortcut on my homescreen to adjust the volumes, and never touch the physical keys. For those having this issue please report back if you try these methods, so hopefully Google can patch it sooner rather than later.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bobbyphoenix:
https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/3551881
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bobbyphoenix:
Found another trigger. All was fine for over a day without touching the physical volume buttons, and then I received a call. Took the call (didn't touch volume), and once the call was complete the next app I opened had he muffled sound. Same app I used tens of times since last rebooting. Rebooted again, and all is good again.

So far: Physical volume buttons, and voice calls are two triggers.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bobbyphoenix:
I've been keeping my eye on this thread, and came across a poster who said they "fixed" the issue by uninstalling the Phone app updates, and then reinstalling it. I've tried so many things that I almost gave up, but for three days now I haven't had the issue even after several calls. I haven't rebooted yet, so I don't know if it will stay "fixed" (I'm using quotes since I don't really know if it truly is fixed for good). The funny thing is I went to say thank you to the poster, but their post somehow is now gone. I don't know if they removed it, or a mod did, but the "fix" seems to work.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bobbyphoenix:
Well this worked for several day, but I was watching YouTube, and had a phone call come in, and the issue came back. Retrying the "fix" didn't seem to work again. I deleted updates from Phone and YouTube, but I still get the issue. The only reliable temp fix is to reboot, and it seems good until a call comes in. Luckily I don't have that many calls, so sometimes I can go a day or so with good sound all around.

On a positive note I tweeted at Made by Google about this, and they replied saying that's not what they want users to have, and to DM them, so hopefully it will lead to a real fix by Google.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] boe323:
I think the random sound change isnt a bug, its automatic presets based on what type of sound it is, like sound for phone, sound notifications, different types of music etc etc.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bobbyphoenix:
Right, but there is a bug because the phone will apply the Phone app sound/bass to YouTube, but if you pause/play it, or turn the volume up to 100%, and then back down, the bass goes away. I agree with having presets, but they shouldn't mix/match when they feel like.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bobbyphoenix:
Since Google doesn't seem to care about this phone, or this issue, or their customers who bought it, as they haven't even bothered to acknowledge that it is happening I've trying all kinds of things, and keeping track of when it happens most. The latest "fix" that seems to be consistent is keep the in-call volume at 100%. Usually I keep it one notch down, but I was on a call two days ago, and had to turn up the sound to 100%. I forgot to turn it back down after the call, but ever since I haven't had the issue where the sound randomly changes from clear to muffled/bass. I've had sever calls since, and all is still good. I know when none of the volume controls are at 100%, and you get the issue, you can "fix" it by turning the regular volume to 100%, and then back down. So my theory is since the call volume is always at 100%, it is keeping the sound switching at bay.

I still can't believe after more than six months Google treats their customers so badly after paying $1000 (I did since I pre-ordered it). "Here buy our over priced phone now that will soon be half the cost, and then don't expect fixes for issues." Thanks Google.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] boe323:
I see what you mean, kind of gets tangled up in itself as it doesnt switch fast enough between the presets, when i get notification after notification really fast the phone the phone gets confused.

[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] V-C:
Some device launched before P might not boot GSI due to Security Patch Level (SPL) mismatch. This explain the steps to change SPL in GSI so it will match SPL in boot image.

Step 1. Check the SPL and version in device (before flash GSI):

For example, this device has SPL=2018-09-05 and OS version=9.

$ adb shell getprop ro.build.version.release
9
$ adb shell getprop ro.build.version.security_patch
2018-09-05

Step 2. Check and modify GSI SPL using script change_security_patch_ver.sh in AOSP test/framework/harnesses/host_controller/gsi/change_security_patch_ver.sh. This script need to be run in linux.

Check SPL

$ test/framework/harnesses/host_controller/gsi/change_security_patch_ver.sh [input-image]

Modify the SPL in GSI:

$ test/framework/harnesses/host_controller/gsi/change_security_patch_ver.sh [input-image] [output-patched-image] [new-SPL] -v [new-os-version]

Example: Check the SPL in GSI:

$ test/framework/harnesses/host_controller/gsi/change_security_patch_ver.sh system.img
2018-08-05

Example: Modify the SPL in GSI to match boot image:

$ test/framework/harnesses/host_controller/gsi/change_security_patch_ver.sh system.img system-2018-09-05.img 2018-09-05 -v 9
