[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Starkiller2:
Yes I did, a Sprint variant, on boost Mobile.

The easiest way for me, if it helps, was to unzip the two firmware files and place the necessary files from each in a separate folder.

In twrp wipe dalvik cache and data.

Reboot to bootloader

Then flash them in the order above, but all in one go.

Boot twrp, flash boot image in twrp

Factory reset in twrp

Reboot to bootloader

Flash modem again

Reboot

I did find that no matter what I can't get twrp to stick or any recovery. It always reboots to fastboot

So you have to use the volume keys to press start

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] quadcrap1:
So it sounds like you added two extra steps to the original instructions above:

1) Factory reset in TWRP after flashing boot image in TWRP

2) As a last step, rebooting to bootloader one more time and issuing the command

mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

(where NON-HLOS.bin comes from the Sprint image, not the Pie image, just as when it was flashed the first time).

Correct?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Starkiller2:
Yes
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] quadcrap1:
So I've tried the above instructions on a Sprint Z2 Force. The first time, I got into an instant bootloop. So I went through the entire procedure again, and this time, I get to about 1 minute past when the Moto M is spinning around, to where the Lenovo color blocks are supposed to appear, and the screen goes black with occasional flashes on. Eventually, it just boot loops again.

Hmmm...

I do realize that I am using for the Sprint firmware (from which a few files come):

NASH_SPRINT_OCXS27.109_48_17_subsidy_DEFAULT_regulatory_DEFAULT_CFC.xml

This is a nominally different than the xml file the OP mentioned:

NASH_SPRINT_OCXS27.109-48-20_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml

Unfortunately, I can't find a working link to the latter...I wonder if that could be the issue? Anyone have a working link for the 48-20 version?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Starkiller2:
I used the -20 version from here

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] quadcrap1:
So I managed to get Pie up and running on a Sprint Z2 Force. Everything seems to be working. I'm using it for T-Mobile, and Visual Voice Mail and VoLTE seem to be working.

One thing I can't get to work is Netflix. It won't install. if I sideload it, it won't run.

I use the phone for work (work profile), so I can't use Magisk (and I have no other need to root).

Anyone have a trick to get Netflix installed on a Frankenstein install like this with an unlocked bootloader.

Note: I was able to get Netflix to run on the Z2 Force with the T-Mobile flash on Sprint for Oreo.

Updated Tmobile Z2 Force to Pie

I want to report that I have followed these instructions and have updated my TMobile Z2 Force to Pie. I am not in an US network.

My steps were pretty similar:

I flashed to stock using the TMO Z2 Force 27.1.5 Flashall

Booted normally

TWRP Wipe Data, Cache and System

Followed the steps as in the Verizon Update thread making sure to follow the steps as indicated by Starkiller2 above (except Factory Reset in TWRP). Using the TMO Z2 FORCE FLASHALL files and NOT the Sprint ones

Voilà
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] quadcrap1:
I successfully flashed 9.0/Pie to a Sprint phone for use with T-Mobile the other day.

An update. It generally seems stable and working.

Things that do not work:

A) VoLTE: The phone drops down to "H" (HSPA) / 3G when I make/receive a call. That means that while I can use data, it unusably slow 3G. I am not sure how to fix this. It's using T-Mobile as carrier, T-Mobile US as the APN (same as a Sprint/T-Mobile Z2 Force flashed phone running Oreo I am using on T-Mobile and which gives LTE speeds during a phone call/VoLTE).

B) Netflix won't install. It doesn't even show up in the Play Store. If you try to sideload it, it will crash/stop before you can use it. This is probably related to the unlocked bootloader, although I use Netflix on the Oreo Z2 Force with unlocked bootloader with no issue.

Oh, and the Oreo running Z2 Force shows 4GLTE, while the Pie running Z2 Force shows just LTE in the exact same location. The Oreo phone gets download/upload speeds of 24.0/9.1, the Pie phone gets download/upload speeds of 28.0/9.99. FWIW.

When I make a call, I see "HD call" for the Oreo phone, I don't see it for the Pie phone.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] lchiu7:
If I recall correctly when I flashed my Z2 I(Spring) phone to unlock it from the network and also installed Magisk for Google Pay and other stuff that did't like rootl Netflix also didn't initially. It wasn't critical since I have so many other ways to watch but out of curiosity I searched for a fix and I think it was this

I did atually take notes but they are at home and I am currently on the road so I can't confirm but it looks like what I did.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Axecaster:
A few questions:

1. Will flashing Pie on a bootloader unlocked Sprint model require the modem from 48-20, even if the phone has only been on an earlier Oreo firmware?

2. Does using the Oreo modem mean the Sprint phone could be flashed back and forth between Pie and Oreo without issues?

3. Would there be any reason this mixed/unofficial firmware would not activate / operate normally on Sprint service?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] veritasaequita:
as the title says i was abke to successfully frp bypass this verizon s7 that was giving to me by a friend. i included ba screenshot of its current info to help find my answer. it is on 7.0 and everything else is listed in the pic. i just dont wanna get relocked or even have to do it again cause i feel strongly that i lucked out on that try tbh. and i dont know if i should upgrade and root, stay where im at i think ull understand what im asking. thanks to anyone that has any input.

EDIT///throwing the edit just in case this post somehow helps someone in the future the answer to the question asked above is yes you can. A lot of weird shifts going to happen different than the directions given in the Rom dev thread and your face lots of froot loops and we are shutdowns but eventually you'll have root and or the custom rom from the rom thread.

Hi

Both won't update to pie....I've used a method find here from a guy with LG up and now I'm on Pie. The update completely reatore my phone so I've start from scratch.

Now found a new update form my EM version, but another time LG bridge cannot check the installed firmware and the OTA too cannot find anything new.

Please help

(I'm on win 10, debug usb on, and the phone is recognized on bridge)
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] mouse@home:
Same on win 7....
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Inerent:
Did you patched the common. Dll?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] mouse@home:
On bridge?....may you provide a link please...
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] LameMonster82:
Yeah OTA may not work depending on what model you have and from what region is your phone.

LG Bridge also doesn't work since it checks IMEI and if it matches the firmware region. It knows when something doesn't add up

If you want to update you can find the correct firmware for your phone or use an older LG UP version to update without losing data.

Either way I find it useless to update since it's just a security patch and nothing more
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] mouse@home:
Wow really thanks! So I'll wait for some major update

Can I update via LG Bridge after unlocking and root? Wont it brick the phone?

Has anyone seen a program that will when the pda is plugged in...change the email to check every 5 minutes and when its not plugged into check every 20 minutes or 30 minutes? That way it saves battery. Maybe a developer would be able to think something up?

Thanks in advance for the help

no help on this one?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] moneytoo:
Great idea. Actually this is pretty easy to make. Maybe to add some settings and profiles for this (set lower intervals for night etc).

I will make it when I will have some time. (Maybe someone will be faster then I... :))

[Honor 20 Pro Questions & Answers] x0wl:
Hello!

I'm trying to choose between the 2 phones right now. H20P is cheaper, but does not have an OLED screen and I'm not sure about the camera (especially the video quality and the fact that it doesn't support GCam). I currently have a Galaxy A50 and I like everything but the camera.

Are there any comparisons of the actual user experience between the 2 phones? Thanks in advance.
[Honor 20 Pro Questions & Answers] leedashone:
The S10/20p have almost same CPU speed. but S10 have better GPU. however if you are not gamer it's mean nothing.

Honor 20 Pro Camera is much much poor then S10.

(I have HTC U11, S9+, 20P,, In many case 20p photo quality is just poor then U11, it shock me!)

About fingerprint sensor, I like 20p's side sensor more then S10's on-screen sensor.

At least, 20p can't unlook boot loader and can't change default launcher.

If $$$ is not a problem S10 is better,, if think about C/P ratio 20p still a good phone.
[Honor 20 Pro Questions & Answers] spachal:
I'm not so sure if GalaxyS10 has better camera .. At least at night mode, let's watch this part of XDA video: https://youtu.be/tnz5Pul2Qk8?t=746

For me is Honor20Pro better option, LCD without flickering, no extra rounded edges, 4Ah battery and, IMHO, better camera (f/1.4, 1/2").. and cost is, at least, 100euro lower :]. I"m able to get over QI/reverse charging, audio jack and a little bit wider UW camera.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] bsimpson1:
IMPORTANT:

These modules contain modifed framework-res.apk's from Oxygen OS 9.5.11 and 9.5.13. It was taken from the international stock rom. I would not recommend trying this if you are not using either of these versions.

Be aware that if you have Chrome enabled, the system will automatically disable Bromite webview until you disable Chrome.

After flashing this your theme may be changed to light. All you need to do is go back to settings>display and choose the dark theme again one time.

DESCRIPTION:

This module contains a framework-res.apk with modified values in res/xml/config_webview_packages.xml to allow com.android.webview -- which is the package name used by bromite -- as one of the allowed webview providers. This has been tested to work when used in conjunction with the Bromite Systemless Webview module in magisk.

INSTALLATION:

Make sure you uninstall or at least disable the default (Chrome) webview package first. (I used the Debloater module from magisk to do this).

Make sure you have the "Bromite Systemless Webview" Magisk module installed.

Change the extension of the downloaded file to ".zip"

Flash the zip using magisk

Go to Settings -> System -> Developer Options -> WebView Implementation and ensure that Bromite is chosen for WebView

UPDATES:

10/3/19

Working module for OOS 9.5.13 is now available. (OOS 10 version will eventually be released as well.)

This worked for Ice Bear. Ice Bear gives his thanks.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] Amd4life:
How is this different from the bromite webview magisk extension in the Xposed ? Is this a better implementation?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] bsimpson1:
I haven't used Xposed for a long time so i'm not sure which module you're referring to, but here is why I made this magisk module:

From what I've read and experienced, with OOS, even when Bromite WebView is installed as a system app, it's not used for webview because the framework-res.apk does not include com.android.webview as an allowed webview provider package. You can read about this in the bromite wiki under Verifying allowed webview packages.

This package is intended to work alongside the systemless bromite webview module by providing a framework-res that declares it an allowed webview provider package.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] Amd4life:
Got it!! Cool add on, it works perfectly. Thank you for the mod and the explanation. Very much appreciated
[OnePlus 7 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] AlkaliV2:
This worked a treat after spending way too much time trying to remove Chrome (Debloater didn't work). Now everything is good, no ads, and working smoothly. Thanks!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] netgar:
Are you able to sync bromite with Google account?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] bsimpson1:
I don't see an option for this, but I could be wrong
[OnePlus 7 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] bsimpson1:
I believe it would be fairly easy. I will release a version offering both when I am back at my computer which will probably be Monday
[OnePlus 7 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] Guitarfreak26:
How do you tell if its working haha.

Installed both but can't see anything under webview. Chrome has been removed.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] liam_davenport:
Webview will be named bromite under dev options > Webview if you've followed steps correctly
[OnePlus 7 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] Guitarfreak26:
Ah nah its not there. I'll try installing again. I also removed android system webview maybe that's the problem lol

Yeah don't delete the AOSP webview beforehand as bromite replaces it.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] Guitarfreak26:

I'm wondering if android webview has to be a system app. As soon as I install chrome again the chrome webview detects but no android one or bromite
[OnePlus 7 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] bsimpson1:
In this version of the module I have re-added Chrome to the list of allowed packages for webview (Chrome must be a system app for this to work). Note that any time Chrome is enabled, it will automatically set itself as the default webview provider and disable other webview packages. To use Bromite for webview again, Chrome must be disabled or removed.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] bsimpson1:
An app must be a system app to be used for webview. Allowing a user app to be used for webview would allow for too many dangerous security exploits.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] bsimpson1:
I think your problem may be that you haven't installed the Bromite Systemless Webview magisk module.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] wargyant:
Hey guys,

Probably will be a bit stupid,but I need to ask!

There's any way to convert or flash a global dual SIM version to the OnePlus 7 Pro 5g? And there is any way to back up this version in case anything goes sideways?

I've learned that the 5g one it's dual SIM on hardware but kind of locked to the carrier...

If I've said anything wrong please let us know. Thank you
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] biggiesmalls657:
The 5G variant is an UK version only.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] swejuggalo:
Almost. Elisia in Finland has it too. It does not get sold outside of carriers though.

---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

And BTW... 5G version is 5G EU version. There are no other variants so nothing exists to convert to.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] wargyant:
My question really was if we can covert it to the international/European one on 4g and leave the 5g on the side till it will have more usability! At the moment if you're not in the right area you can't have 5g network...

So what I want is to back up my actual ROM and try the 4g one, but I can't find something similar... I had a look to the T-Mobile one but I know for a fact it will not work with our ones..

Can help me anyone?

So I found this:

But when will this be fixed????

I mean this post is one and a half year old!!!

I could change the region to an other region where the theme store works, download a theme and change the region back but is this a save method and should I do this?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] 21vm:
The solution i used to have access to theme store is to flash miui eu (but need unlocked bootloader...). You will have i think better global experience because less bloatware but it's your choice. Maybe there's another way but here is one. :)

Nah, I don't want to flash miui and the bloatware is not a big problem because you can deactivate it.

[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] smartuser8:
Same thing for me. When low brightness in dark room (bed) and dark gray background.

I had this on a lot of phones like my 3a or Nexus 6.

It's because AMOLED is crap. Everybody lose their mind because ''I'm a geek and wow black are black!''. But yes... I saw that on every AMOLED... If you hate that, you should take a good IPS phone.

Another thing: when there is dark gray and black together in low brightness, when you move/scroll/swipe, there is a big ''motion blur''...

(Download an app like Dark Sky and put the app icon on desktop, set a full black background, at low brightness whet you swipe left and right...)

EDIT: Just search ''amoled display uniformity issue'' on Google, Google images, or Reddit... You will see results like that... But hey, don't worry, with AMOLED black is black yeahhh -_-'

Even if you have a good AMOLED, one day you will have burn in... But hey, black is black! XD
