[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] Cyclo_sarin:
Got my bootloader unlocked, but when trying to flash or unlock critical I get an error and it goes to a screen with the razer logo, "powered by android" at the bottom, and super small text in the upper left "press any key to shutdown"

and shows this in the cmd window:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flashing unlock_critical
< waiting for any device >
...

I do have the full sdk package and used android studios sdk manager to get the latest google usb driver.

EDIT: Also I'm on a global version (bought it on razer's website)
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] blackknightavalon:
Download any version of the firmware available on the Razer developer portal then run the flash-all script. Once that's done, flash boot and system images separately on both partitions just to be on the safe side. Your phone should be able to boot normally after that. Just run setup, flash arter97's kernel, boot into TWRP and try to enter your lock code (odds are this'll fail), then reboot into TWRP, this time your password/lock code should work, then flash Magisk
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] Cyclo_sarin:
Running the flash_all script just throws it into that shutdowns again and keeps going into it anytime I go back into fastboot mode.

also gives me this

C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>fastboot devices
my S/N fastboot

C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>flash_all

C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>set fastboot_cmd=fastboot

C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>fastboot flash partition:0 gpt_both0.bin
Sending 'partition:0' (44 KB) FAILED (Write to device failed (Invalid argument))
fastboot: error: Command failed.

or is just sits there likes this:

C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>adb reboot bootloader

C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>flash_all

C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>set fastboot_cmd=fastboot

C:\Users\zacha\Desktop\platform-tools>fastboot flash partition:0 gpt_both0.bin
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] blackknightavalon:
In that case, fastboot flash each part individually under both partitions (where applicable) and you should be back to stock
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] Cyclo_sarin:
Just does the exact same thing.
[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] xCROv:
I'm having the exact same issue. I'm unable to get any flash to work. Tried multiple different machines. Keep getting the same errors. Did you find a solution?

c:\adb>fastboot flash partition:0 gpt_both0.bin
Sending 'partition:0' (44 KB) FAILED (Write to device failed (Invalid argument))
Finished. Total time: 0.005s

Then my RP2 will go to the "Powered by Android" screen with the Razer logo and say "Press any key to shutdown"

I can use "fastboot devices" and get my devices serial number back along with rebooting the bootloader so I don't think it's a driver issue. Out of options and could use some help. At this point I can't even get the factory images to flash.

RP2 - ATT

[Magisk] mifuhucu:
Hey, folks,

I have a question about the risks involved in using Magisk on the phone and also Xposed. Using Magisk and Xposed has always been elementary for me, however, I have never used my bank account on my phone as I am afraid of being vulnerable for using these applications. In my new job the use of my banking application is mandatory so I don't know if I should uninstall Magisk and Xposed. What do you guys think? Is it advisable to manage money on your phone with these applications installed?

thank you
[Magisk] Phantom Thief:
Can you even run the banking app with xposed installed? It breaks safetynet and apps probably check for that. As for magisk yeah it's perfectly fine.
[Magisk] Zeuszoos:
Hi,

I haven't had any problems. Being unable to sit up in front of a PC/Laptop, I handle *everything* on my phone.

Of course, like anything important, use proper security measures. Using a VPN is advisable. Look at places like the Android Authority Tech Store. They have deals here and there. I've purchased "Lifetime" (20 years) deals on 2 different quality VPN services, one for $20 and the other for $40. One goes out, or even out of business, I've got the other and my money's worth long ago, so no big deal. :)

I also use Avast! Anti-Virus (not asking for opinions), as it's Free. There's also an app that scans for cell specific stuff that "spies" on what your doing, called "Incognito" for $2-$3 (one time).

Use what you feel good about, that's just me. Just use common sense as always, of course.

But no, I have not had any issues. So either I'm secure, or they've gotten in, saw how little there is and decided that I need it more than they do and are probably working on ways to put money *in* for me. :)

Posted from my way cool LG V20 (H910) Nougat 7.0
[Magisk] TENN3R:
From my experience Magisk is completely safe, it hides root very good. Some banking apps might still recognize it and block it, but you can try hide the app in the magisk manager section or even generate a random package name for the magisk manager itself if the bank app still finds it.

Also, using EdXposed (the new "unofficial" version for oreo and pie) won't affect safetynet, but again some apps might recognize it. There is a module for that called "rootcloak", it hides root, xposed and particular keywords that you can manually add, from some apps you can choose.

Last time I tried that was 2 or 3 months ago, and my banking/security apps worked normally without any problem. You just have to play around a little with those hiding-settings when you flash them the first time, that's it.

Ok, so I've used Nextel before and don't care for PTT very often. However, PTT is pretty nice when you're doing cable jobs and have numerous brief calls.

I know I've seen a handful of ROMs that are PTT compatible, but am really looking for a more current one.

Is it possible to cook PTT back in using Alex's kitchen?

Does the base ROM have to be ATT?

Is it possible to dump say Laurentius' shiny new FAST rom and add it in?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] JimmyMcGee:
OK What if YOU USED THE SEARCH FUNCTION? :p

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] cp1md2b:
Mods here is another redundant threadKyphur

Mods Please close this thread.

He told you right. But more importantly select a cooked rom that has PTT functionality already enabled. _Alex_ had one. I belive Sleuth did as well.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] shogunmark:
But what if i have a comment on this... Actually i dont think its redundant, no one has ripped PTT out and made it work, so im going to open it back up momentarily..

Im not sure if this will actually work, but it might be worth a try... the only issue you might run in to is with the dialer... you will need a PTT compatible dialer.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] pkley:
Thanks Shogun I'll give it a shot and see.

Other two guys - shut up. I know how to search after being on the forum for 2 years. Used forum search, google search, different search terms, you name it. I know I saw it, but can't find it...redundant thread my ass, see if you can find another thread like mine.

I re-opened the thread after being closed for a reason... dont make me close it again, so please play nice!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] BombaMyte:
I'd have to agree with the OP. I use PTT on the daily, but a lot of the roms I like don't include it. I know it's a dialer issue, the question is, how do we fix it?

Sure we can use cabs and have *partial* functionality of PTT, but I'd really like to know who's chirping me regardless. The cabs don't give that. So since we all know it's a dialer issue, how do we fix it so that we can use any dialer *and* the PTT cabs?

That's where we need to focus. If only I could get a damn kitchen to run correctly on my laptop! LOL!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] shogunmark:
If someone can pull all the necessary stuff out for the horrible looking dialer, or make their own.. then we should be able to merge with my PTT cab and everything should be fine! I just dont know much about dialers..

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] BCE111:
Are All Xiaomi Mi 9Ts (not K20) Global w/ Multi-langs & Play Store Factory Installed?

Are all Xiaomi Mi 9T phones (not K20) global with multiple languages and Google Play Store factory installed? Or are there some Chinese Xiaomi Mi 9T phones with only English and Chinese without Google Play Store? I bought a 6GB/128GB one from this seller on AliExpress a couple of day's ago for $336 USD ($30 off now gone) and it said it was the global version. And all the pics were of the Xiaomi Mi 9T, not the Redmi K20.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33029802366.html

It said under FAQ:

1. Is Xiaomi Global Version Xiaomi Mi 9T (REDMI K20 ) in Stock Now?(You will get the Global Version Xiaomi Mi 9T (REDMI K20 )Xiaomi Mi 9T (REDMI K20 ) in Stock Now

2. What version do you sell for?It's Global version. The model name on the box is Xiaomi Global Version Xiaomi Mi 9T (REDMI K20 ).

3. Does it have multi-language and Google Play? For Global version Xiaomi Mi 9T (REDMI K20 ). it's Global version. it has multi-language and Google play ,OTA update

Then that info was deleted yesterday.

But later it said and still says:

3. Please leave us a comment if you want a sealed box. Otherwise we will unseal the box to do "Quality Control" and flash the multi-language ROM for the Chinese version. The original box from manufacturer is sealed. It's only with English and without "Play Store".

4. Newer ROMs might have minor bugs, please be understandable as we have no control over this. Especially new models are prone to minor bugs.

5. Please double check if the phone works with your carrier. It is very important! But then gave a link to a site that didn't include this phone.

So it's a bit confusing. Haven't been able to connect with the seller to clarify this. Tried cancelling this order but it didn't happen yet. And if it is the factory global version I'd let it go through. I live in the United States so need the extra frequency bands of a true global version to work with my carrier, not one with flashed multi-languages and Google Play Store added and limited frequency bands.

Thanks :)
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] BCE111:
I'm still trying to decide whether I want to cancel this order. I could just wait for the Mi 9T Pro in the next few months. That of course will be more expensive but does have a few better features. I'll see how it all plays out. If they don't cancel it and send it I can just resell it if I decide to as I got a great price on it.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Bart1981:
First of all, the real Xiaomi Mi 9T comes with Google services (so playstore, etc) and has multi language support.

But what some resellers do, is get an K20 and flash a global rom on it. But then you'll still have the Redmi logo on the back. So before you order you'd better ask if it's really a Mi 9T (Xiaomi branding on the back of the phone). If not you'll properly end up with a redmi k20 running a global rom, and then you won't have band 20 for 4G.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] BCE111:
Thanks. Yeah I understand all of that. In my questions to the seller I discussed all of that. But they haven't responded yet. Plus I already bought it and paid for it but it hasn't been shipped yet. I think now what might be happening is they were flashing a global multi-language ROM and adding Play Store to K20's before Mi 9T came out. But they left that in the description. But not sure why they removed all the description about it being a global version the day after I bought it. All the photos show the Mi 9T and someone who bought it showed the Mi 9T box in their review.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] BCE111:
Just told the seller who hasn't read or responded to any of my messages yet:

"If this doesn't say "Mi" on the back of the phone, and if it doesn't come in a black box and say Mi 9T on the front of the box and Mi 9T Glacier Blue 6GB RAM 128GB ROM on the end of the box, then please cancel my order and refund my money. If it does come in a black box and say all of those things then we can complete this sale and you can please send it to me. But please don't open the box. Thanks very much. "

I have the authentic 9T. Yes it came sealed and the box itself looks differently as compare to the K20 version. 9T came with a grey box with the photo of the 9T's front view. The K20 has no photos, with a black box and pick Chars that written "K20" on it. It is hard for them to reprint another box (plus the IMEI for each phone), too much hassles for them.

I installed using the kindle fire toolbox and then, foolishly, uninstalled from the launcher. But this only uninstalls for the current user, then it is gone for this user but still on the device. I can't uninstall "for all users" because it says it is a device admin. I can't remove the device admin because Play Services doesn't appear. The toolbox uninstall says you need to disable the device admin and then loads the admin screen which doesn't show it.

Very frustrating. Serious regrets getting this stupid device!!

[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] firenation112:
Hi, which phone would you go for the pixel 3 XL or pixel 3a XL if they were both the same price? Which they are in the UK since the pixel 3a XL is £469 BNIB and the pixel 3 XL is on eBay for around £450 refurbished.

The issues I have with the pixel 3 XL seem to be all the bugs that seemed to have plagued it since it’s release such as lagging apps and poor ram management which was addressed in recent updates but many users have still complained about on going issues. Another issue seems to be for myself is the notch looks really ugly I wonder if it’s an real issue when using the phone daily.

The clear positives are just the raw power the phone has due to a better processor also it has an IP rating. Plus the build quality is better.

The Pixel 3a XL seems to perfect for my needs but the only downsides I see are the fact it runs a much less powerful processor which doesn’t seem to be bad when used on a day to day basis but I wonder how well it will hold up in the long run let’s just say in the next two years.

Any thought on which phone I should pick? The most important aspect of the phone for me would be it’s longevity.

Thanks for reading :)

Tbh the 3a/xl will be plenty for the next 2 years. Some people are still using the OG pixel and even Nexus 6p to this day.

[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] Yousvel:
I haven't used the Pixel 3 XL. But I have used the Original Pixel XL, the Pixel 2, and also other phones like OnePlus 5. However, I have to say, now that I'm using Pixel 3a XL, I find Pixel 3a XL to be the best Phone I have ever used so far.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] sic0048:
That's a hard question and one that ultimately the user will have to decide for themselves.

Personally I haven't used the original 3 series, but the 3a XL has been a great phone for me and I can't see myself trading it for a 3 XL unless I was able to test drive the 3 XL to make sure it was better before getting it.

- I never think "this is slow" or "studdery" except when trying to use Facebook via Chrome (the Facebook app works great which leads me to believe it is a Facebook issue, not a phone issue).

- The battery life is great and better than the 3 XL

- The main camera is the same as the 3 series. Of course you do loose the wide angle front camera and the second rear camera, so if those are "must haves" then you know your answer

- The 3a doesn't have the extra photo processor, but this just means the pictures take about 3-4 seconds to process instead of nearly instant on the 3 series. I see the "processing" notification sometimes when reviewing just taken pictures, but I have never been annoyed at it.

- The 3 series comes with free unlimited photo backup until 2022 of original quality sized files. The 3a only allows unlimited backups of compressed size (which is normal and not an exclusive benefit of the 3a).

- The 3a will have a longer update lifecycle.​

Those are just a few of the difference I can think of off hand.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] firenation112:
Thanks for all the replies. Just wanted to add what I want in a phone is everything that the pixel 3a XL has but the only concern I have is the processor used.

[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] Yousvel:
I personally don't see any real difference between my Pixel 3a XL and my old Pixel 2 in terms of performance. So, the processor shouldn't be a concern.
