U r wrong there is a different modem and bootloader... Know ur **** before blabbering. Software is NOT the same

---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

Guys,

I have been thinking and I realized that using a Qualcomm flashtool if the device can be put into Qualcomm recovery mode should allow us to flash the software from the google version. I did so on my unpaid-off OP6T and easily unlocked the bootloader. I believe the hardware on the GSM variants is the same so if someone can get some Qualcomm flashtool working I'd be willing to tinker around with mine.:)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jidcman:
Purchased Pixel 3a from T-Mobile, paid it off and they allowed me to SIM unlock it shy of the 40 days. Device unlock app shows is SIM unlocked but when I try AT&T, Sprint or Verizon SIM it says it's still locked. Uninstalled app, tried again, shows it successfully permanently unlocked the SIM and I can use it with other carriers but same results with non T-Mobile SIM, phone still shows is locked to T-Mobile.

On a positive note, the OEM unlock button is NOT grayed out and I'm able to turn it on. Did a factory reset and the OEM unlock button is still NOT grayed out and I'm able to turn it on.

I just need to use it on Sprint, any ideas? T-Mobile is still trying to figure out what's going on for the past 6 days...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] neelchauhan:
About Sprint, I could be wrong, but since T-Mobile is a GSM carrier, the CDMA portion of the T-Mobile Pixels may not be enabled. If a phone is going to be used mostly on GSM carriers, why pay CDMA royalties for the few people wanting to go from T-Mo to Verizon or Sprint?

With the Pixel 5, then the Verizon Pixels probably won't have CDMA (assuming Verizon shuts down CDMA this December) meaning you can't use them on Sprint which still uses CDMA voice even when its "legacy" for Verizon.

You should have bought an unlocked Pixel if you plan to use it on Sprint.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jidcman:
Thanks, but that's not the problem, the problem is that T-Mobile's system is showing that it's eligible for Unlock, the whitelisting tool they're using is showing the same, and the device itself is showing that the phone is successfully unlocking, but then I'm still getting errors with non T-Mobile SIMs... T-Mobile says that what this means is that this is a provisioning error, and that these take time to fix.

I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar or knows what needs to be done to correct it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] abadasstanker69:
This is a really easy problem to fix. The Sprint variant uses an "eSim" that's programmed when you first go through the setup process where the TMobile variant has an actual Sim card for setup. You have to register the IMEI with Sprint and then go through their activation process in order to activate the phone on their network. I have the Sprint variant. They won't allow me to simunlock because my device isn't paid off but I argued with them for hours and got this information.

If you want to activate it on Sprint, call Sprint and tie your IMEI number to the cell phone number on their network. They forced me to factory reset during the process but it DID solve the problem of activation. If it's not blacklisted, Sprint will add it with no problem

---------- Post added at 02:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 AM ----------

Also, I was posting in the Verizon thread assuming that the Sprint variant and the Verizon variant are the same. I'm now under the impression that all of the Verizon variants have an IMEI that starts with "35" and all other "variations" are not variations at all. They're just the regular Pixel 3 XL. Am I correct in this assumption?

Also, my brother paid his Sprint "variant" off and activated it on T-Mobile. In order to do that, he had to enable OEM unlock. TMobile helped him through it (he's technologically illiterate). So I KNOW the Sprint variant can also be unlocked but the way he explained the process, it would seem that it's a server side "switch".

That being said, I have an idea. Couldn't we disable the eSim, reprogram it with qpst or something similar, and emulate the unlock signal from Sprint? If we could get it to OEM unlock once, we could use host files to block the server from checking our OEM unlock status. What am I wrong about? Thanks! I'm trying to help
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] dpotter5:
No activity here for a while. I just bought the pixel 3a XL through Sprint.

I paid for it outright, but as others have said I have to leave it activated on their network for 50 days before a carrier unlock is allowed.

I'm betting on being able to bootloader unlock after carrier unlocking after that 50 days is up. I'm counting the days and keeping my fingers crossed.

I was hoping to see someone who had already had it for 50 days, but no such luck and my OG Verizon Pixel XL was letting me down on battery life.

I'll report back with my findings once the 50 days is up, but hopefully someone else can chime in before then.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] abadasstanker69:
I wasn't expecting it to be so dead in here either
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] BakedTator:
its not, im just waiting for any kind of confirmation of the sprint variant is unlockable after the stupid 50 days
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] adamilmanns:
FOUND THE WAY!!!

1 - Install Beta 5 via OTA

2- Then back to Pie via OTA

-- Before install the PIE, Please remove your SIM

-- Let the devices install the Pie without the SIM

-- After finish, setup via Wi-Fi ONLY and SKIP all things.

-- Go to develeper setting and CHECK, Walla!!!

-- Turn Unlock bootloader ON

ENJOY VERIZON UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] pocholo36:
Can you confirm this works on Verizon variants?

Where would one download "Beta 5" to make the attempt?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] adamilmanns:
opt-in Official beta

I did this from Q to pie, no luck. I sent you pm.

after looking at sprint pixels in the store i am leaning towards sprint models being tied to the sim lock vs. vzw being imei
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
unless ur bl is already unlocked ull need officially signed programmers to flash in edl mode.. on one of the q betas "adb reboot edl" worked to get into edl mode so u can try it and report back.

and software is the same... y do u think they provide the same ota files for each variant every month?

if they were different theyd have multiple otas released with every update...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
if ur trying to unlock bootloader ur missing a critical step lol... after turning switch on u need to go into fastboot and unlock the bl
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
i assume the 3a was in demo mode.. needa disable it before u can get dev options.. theres a password to disable demo mode on pixels but not really necessary
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
yes.. needs to be sim unlocked before it can be oem unlocked..

vzw has a different message saying to connect to internet or contact carrier
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jidcman:
Nah, didn't want to unlock bootloader even though it's unlockable after T-Mobile's did the SIM unlock. Iwas just trying to sell it to a friend on Sprint, but I gave up, works with ATT, Verizon.... TMobile of course, but Not Sprint...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] BakedTator:
Going to test this on the Sprint pixel 3a xl in about 10 minutes

Will post back the results

edit: not looking like it works...still greyed out
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Haha of course not. That was a troll. But thanks for the confirmation.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] JordanFromIT:
No they won't. It seems to be all version sold by a carrier will not allow bootloader unlocking.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Nonsense.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] xallen25:
How so? As in it's not cool of carriers, or it's not true?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Not true.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] :
Sprint and T-Mobile are both carriers that sell the pixel 3 series and offer bootloader unlock capabilities.the standard for tmo is device must be paid off but they have always sim unlocked me right away due to my 13 year tenure. Sim unlock allows ungreying of oem unlock and then once they sim unlock, typically Twitter reps do this, u reboot and then enabled oem unlock and proceed with the normal bootloader unlock commands. T mobile offered me 305$ for my locked down vz pixel 3xl and reaffirmed with me the procedure for bootloader unlock.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] BakedTator:
I know more than likely this won't work but hell, it's an idea. Couldn't we magisk patch a stock boot.img, pull the signature from the stock boot.img, and repackit in the payload.bin from an OTA then sideload the OTA?

I know this is far fetched but it's an idea.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] :
Nope. Breaks the signature when u unpack it. When u repack it it gets a new one. Sideload will fail. Citadel is the way..
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] beatbreakee:
Citadel?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] :
Fastboot oem citadel

From there

Rma mode

Rma unlock

Unlock
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] BakedTator:
Any special software needed for this?

Using this command I don't see rma mode or rma unlock in the list of available commands
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] beatbreakee:
Ok well this looked promising but hit a dead end. fastboot oem citadel at first had an invalid OEM command. Then I realized it was fastbootd. Went to regular fastboot and yes the Citadel command indeed went to another part, but that was a "missing arguement" failure. It did show me some options but when I tried "Rma mode" it said that command was not found.... Tried various versions of the word Rma. rma . RMA. Etc.. no dice. I do believe there's merit to this but somehow I think we need another component to ADB platform tools, or the phone needs to be in a different mode... Maybe a different OS , like if anyone is still on PIE try this... I just hate wiping my whole phone to go back to pie and this doesn't work ... Then wait and upgrade back to Q again... If you have any more insight plz lemme know. Thx
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] :
It's a work in progress, jus saying that's how we will get it.or something stupid easy..from that mode we will enable rma mode. Once we figure out how.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] issasaurus:
Hey, what's your report? Were you able to unlock the bootloader?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] kamots:
Wow. Nothing since August 3rd huh. I just switched from a Sim unlocked OnePlus 7pro. Now TMobile isn't even going to sell them. Wish I could keep the phone. That 90 hrtz is nice

I've flashed a Oreo beta ROM onto my Sprint Note 8, back when Oreo was new. Since then, the charging port on my phone stopped functioning (I have to charge wirelessly)

I recently purchased a new phone (Galaxy S10+), but I'd like to root my Note 8 and try some custom ROMs, etc. Now that it isn't my primary and I don't worry as much about the 80% root problem.

Is this possible at all?

Thanks in advance.

[Touch Cruise General] davidh:
Hi,

Assumming you have multiple numbers assinged to a contact, (home, work mobile etc...) can anyone tell me how to set/change the default number used for a contact in the HTC touch Cruise (Polaris)?

Also, according to the manual when using the TouchFlow Cube to dial a contact there's supposed to be an icon in the top left corner of each contact to tell me which number is currently the default - this isn't appearing in mine. No biggie, just wondering if anyone has it.

Thanks!
[Touch Cruise General] nahguam:
Open Contacts, highlight the contact in question and press left/right on the d-pad to cycle through all the numbers you have for them - the one displayed is the default.
[Touch Cruise General] davidh:
exactly what I needed - thanks mate!
[Touch Cruise General] davidh:
and just to answer my own second question!

In order to get the icons to appear in the top left corner of a contacts picture, you need to have added the same contact twice in touchflow. When you add a contact, you have to choose which number to assign. Add a contact twice using a different number and the icons appear to distinguish them.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Winterdeath:
Hello everyone.

I'm debating whether to buy the P30 Pro or not, but I don't want to make the decision until I see some RAW photos from its camera.

I find it crazy that there isn't a single RAW/DNG photo available for download on the entire internet and I've been searching for them for them far and wide.

Can a good soul among you who owns the P30 Pro provide me with a couple of different photos? I'm mainly interested in the main 40 megapixel sensor, so you don't have to bother with samples from the other two sensors if it's too much of a hassle for you.

Thank you!

[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Winterdeath:
Thank you, my good man.

Well, it's normal that the colors are off, you are supposed to adjust them to your own liking since that is one of the main reasons to shot in RAW.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] nurps:
If you want to color-correct the main camera I found that pulling the tones of red, orange and yellow to around -40 is a good start. Also pulling the green curve in the darks a little into purple and it almost looks real.

You can use DNG processor to auto process your picture in the background after taking RAW shots. Check out DNG Processor

I have been struggling to find a Huawei raw file as well. Unfortunately firefox send has been discontinued so I was unable to access these files. Would it be possible to access these files in another way?

Thanks in advances!
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] VincentBezemer:
Of topic (I really don't know about raw, but every photographer does say raw photography does have the most beautiful end result in most ways.... So I have to learn about it).

But does anyone know why it's recommended, with the p30 pro, to have image size of photos in 4:3 instead of full image?

Why is 4:3 recommended?

I like the full view much better whioe shooting a picture, but if its less better I don't do it anymore.

Thanks for your time.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] jfreshh330:
Hello everyone,

I tried to search Samsung's website, Google, and the forums, but can't seem to find anything relating to my issue. Whenever I take a screenshot, my volume slider will go all the way down as if I'm just holding the volume down button. I will try to drag the slider back up and it will just go back down again. This will usually go away in a minute or so, but it's really annoying every time I screenshot. My buttons are fine and are still clicking, so I don't think they're getting stuck or something. I appreciate any advise offered :)
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Fredzvw:
I would say hardware issues.

If not already done, try reboot, then factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Ndaoud360:
My HTC U12 Plus had that issue but that's because the buttons were haptic, not pressable buttons but even then people told me its a hardware issue that I should get fixed (never bothered lol). I know the buttons on the S10 aren't the same as on the U12 Plus but it might be the same problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] dgdeepak000:
Seems to be hardware issue

Yes, you're right. This could be hardware issue if it doesn't go away after a reset. I followed this guide: https://techshali.com/take-screenshot-samsung-galaxy-s10-plus/ was able to screenshot easily and there's no issue while accessing or editing that through menu that appears right after we screenshot.

I hope no betas are released until Samsung's official one :laugh:

get a pixel!!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tel864:
Q is no big deal anyway. There isn't a whole lot going on with it other than Google will be able to release security updates via Play Store with their new Project Mainline. It will also give the Pixel kids something to run around and squeal about because we know how they get all puffed up when they can say they got it first. ?

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fredzvw:
Yeah, it's true that Android Q hasn't a lot of new stuff.

No need of it now.

But, there's many manufacturers who participate to the beta. I don't understand why a big player like Samsung isn't on the list.

I wish they will participate soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tel864:
I've been through 2 betas with Samsung and before that I was in 3 or 4 with Motorola. To be honest, Samsung doesn't have a clue on how to run a beta program. When we reported problems in the Samsung Members app, the best we got if anything at all was to submit a report through the app to the developers. As far as I know no one got feedback other than we're looking into it. Everything I reported with the S9 carried over to the Pie final. Motorola had a dedicated forum with moderators that actually passed feedback back and forth. I even spoke with a software engineer two times.

Beta with Samsung is sort of here it is, hope it works. :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Innnovation955:

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eudeferrer:
Not sure I agree here. I'm running it on my Pixel 3 xl and it has many noteworthy features. There is live caption which let's you get real-time transcriptions of what is being said on any video, in any app, across the entire OS. There are systemwide UI changes like dark mode and improved gestural navigation and the back button; over 40 updates to the way security, permissions and privacy agreements are handled. Also, there are improvements to Android's security which will make them come faster thought the Playstore (Project Mainline), better parental controls, new Notification Assistant that will help you reply to incoming chats and other minor stuff. In my opinion, it is by no means a small upgrade, specially when you consider it is still in Beta 3 and will probably add even more features. So far, it runs smooth as butter for me and had great battery life.

Why? Samsung have no commitment to release a beta firmware to users. People today are too impatient, you need to learn to wait for these things.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fredzvw:
? I'm buying a new high branded product to have one of the best smartphone. I'm here because I want to share my experience and to find informations from others.

What I see is that almost others brands are offering beta firmware to users and faster updates than Samsung. Why do we have to accept this?

I owned some Samsung devices in the past. Finally change my P20 Pro to try S10. But Samsung was not faster than before on updates, maybe slower.

My girlfriend know nothing about cellphone and don't care about updates. But, if you're here man and you don't care about new characteristics, what are you doing here?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tel864:
You accept it because that's pretty much the way Samsung has always been and not anyone here is going to change that. When someone buys a Samsung phone, they need to accept that as a condition. I would bet money that the majority of users worldwide care less about updates as long as their phone works reliably.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Charos87:
Other brands may very well offer beta firmware and if what you want is for firmware to come out quickly then I suggest next time you get one of those devices but what I said was be patient, it will eventually come out. You shouldn't be here just to whine about updates not coming out, I've been on XDA for nearly ten years now and it annoys me when people complain about the speed of updates. You should want a complete update without bugs and that takes time, making a post about it won't speed up the release and just clutters up the feed.
