[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
Did you try calling in multiple times? That often works although some people can't seem to catch a break on it. I've been on a number of OP devices and I'm familiar with what you're talking about; Saw it most recently on the 6T but it goes back further. I had them unlock a SGS6 the day I bought it, I paid cash but still the word was it couldn't be done without a dwell period, I remember it being 30 days at that time but maybe it was 45, been a while. In any event the very next year was the one were it turned out Tmo couldn't unlock your bootloader, came from Samsung they said. I remember there being an exploit coming out for that but I had already given away my S7 and moved on to the next thing before they figured that out. Not much over a year later Samsung started the BS with bootloaders on their international unlocked phones and I didn't keep the Note 8 long either. IMO if root is a must it's a good idea to let someone else be the guinea pig and profit from that information unless you've got enough ching to walk away without worrying about it.

I'm pretty sure this phone will also be exactly as you describe on Tmo and I agree with you BTW, just saying the smart money if a man needs to be careful is to wait for the first phones to meet their owners a few of who will unlock and root or attempt to do it. Or as I said in my first post, buy unlocked direct from Goog or Fi if possible.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] navalynt:
There is not likely to be any bootloader unlock for the P4 and P4XL for carrier versions unless an exploit is found (which doesn't seem likely anymore). Google does not provide carriers an interface to change the device type, nor do they provide that interface to their own customer service and support teams. It's not a matter of hounding customer service or posting on the right forum because they can't help you. It's an obligation that Google has to meet if they want to keep their big carrier contracts in the United States.

The only unlocking requirement for carrier specific versions is having the ability to SIM unlock the device for portability between networks. Most carriers will do this upon request if you have international travel plans or have completed a certain percentage of your device financing.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ZeroKool76:
So, the devices are shipped to the carriers already locked? Interesting. for some reason I always thought it was the individual carriers that lock them down and then would unlock it when you fully paid off the device. So you're saying, even if you fully pay off the device, you will never be able to unlock a carrier pixel 4/XL? Wow, that's a bummer.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] navalynt:
Correct. Enthusiasts have a channel to bootloader unlock, which is buying directly from Google where Google provides it's own support.

Carriers are only looking to sell you a device that's stable to work on their own networks. What do the carriers have to gain at all from controlling the bootloader unlock? They have nothing to gain from it except a support migraine.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ZeroKool76:
Yeah, that makes sense when you put it that way. Just took me by surprise when OP and it's carrier phones pretty much allow you to do whatever you want to the device, once it's paid off. Still can't stand OP, but I have to admit, that's a check mark in their corner
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
Keep in mind Google does not require it like Samsung does so it's left up to the carrier. Tmo has been unlocking similar devices and there is little reason to think it wont happen here. In the opposing camp you have Verizon which demands a locked bootloader and few exploits have been found to circumvent it on recent devices. Meanwhile something to consider is that even the unlocked straight from google device is not really unlocked in the way some people think: Before you can unlock the bootloader it absolutely must phone home. Don't give the phone that connection and you cannot unlock it. Samsung does the same thing. We are not in control of our devices anymore, they can pull the plug on unlocking any time they want simply by denying it via that same connection even if you have already unlocked it. Samsung did this a few years ago in just that way and to this date no one has found a way around it that doesn't cause real pain with the wait a week and all that BS.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] cronojay:
I called several times and got on with T-force sever times and no luck. I got lucky when the post I described about unlocking and got mine done. I always device finance because of the 0% apr and jump on demand so all I need to is bring my phone, get my new phone and profit.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] bigmatt503:
"simple process" "just patch the boot img" come on man.. Ask the people that own a pixel 3 from Verizon. Please don't spread wrong info
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ZeroKool76:
You mean, ask the people who were dumb enough to buy a locked down device? I'll pass. People that have purchased Verizon's in the past, as you have stated, would obviously know this doesn't apply to them. I was more referring to, since we don't have recovery yet, you would have to patch the boot img manually.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] gettinwicked:
Honestly, I ALMOST got me and my wife's from Verizon (she definitely jumped on the pixel bandwagon). They have a buy one, get one free. Sooo, I kept thinking about root, but ultimately decided I'd rather save $900. Evidently, there's some caveats. One, the get one is for a new line. No biggie, I'll just cancel the one number and add a new one (her phone is paid off, I don't think there's a termination fee after two years). Two, you have to sign up for an unlimited plan. That piece completely wiped the price difference and then some for me. Sooo, I smiled a bit and bought them unlocked from Google. The only reason I would buy directly is for a huge price savings.

Another thing I thought of too, there is an early upgrade fee with V if I were to decide to upgrade to the 5xl next year. So, that's another caveat. I'm glad I just went with unlocked. Hoping it doesn't take long to root.

This time around I placed a pre-order with Google Fi.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Geekser:
I am looking forward to Root as well. Got my Pixel 4XL from Google - but I seem to remember that Root and Custom recovery wasn't easy with the Pixel XL 3 - Google always seems to do something new or different when they launch a new phone that gives developers some kind of challenge - I also wondered if Google's new Titan Security would cause any issues when the developers start working on Root and TWRP Recovery. I don't know anything about it - also., I am not a dev - but I hope it isn't like Samsung's "Knox" security - could make it real challenging .... ? Thoughts anyone ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] dratsablive:
Since my first Android, Atrix 4G, I have never bought a carrier sponsored phone so I could unlock the bootloader. But with the Pixel 3XL I have decided to keep the bootloader locked so I can use Google Pay.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] SinisterXReaper:
It wasn't easy at first because of project treble. However, once DEVs learned to work with it, it became rather simple. It became difficult with Android 10, since there is no TWRP yet. However, you do something enough times, it becomes muscle memory.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Geekser:
That is very reassuring and good to hear. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] rester555:
You can use an unlocked bootloader and Google Pay, just need to download the GPAY magisk module.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] dratsablive:
Yes I was doing that, but it was always a game of Cat and Mouse especially with Pokemon Go.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] HipKat:
This is true. The Nexus 6 was the last great VZW Device you could root and modify. Once upon a time, the allure for Android was that it would be open source and amateur development was encouraged. Sites like this one and sadly missed SDX-Developers site thrived because of the Amateur Development and Android updates would contain some of the features of the work of people on these sites.

VZW put a stop to all of that and even though their policy states that after a short (30-60 day) period after a device is paid off, bootloaders could be unlocked and I have yet to see one example of that ever happening

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] SimplySomeone:
Hey, I've recently bought a Samsung Note 10+ 5G (Snapdragon) on eBay and it's from Mainland China (SM-9760), and it's lacking all Google services, aka, no Google Play Store or what so ever, I was wondering if I could flash any other firmware on it for example, the SM-N975U1 even though it's for the regular Note 10+. Or is there any specific requirements. Thanks in advance, I am pretty new to this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] tghandour:
A big No, you cannot flash 975U/U1 on the 9760. You can brick your device. However, you can flash a 9760 image for another country with Google services enabled. Let me check and revert back to you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] FRBonvoyage:
Nope, you can only flash firmware for N9760, and there is no firmware with Google services enabled for N9760 (maybe BRI when they get the 5G version) ; however every chinese Samsung phone has the google services in the software, they're just disabled but you can activate them and install all the google apps such as play store as easy as installing an apk ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] xIf22raptorIx:
Hey, I've bought the same version but straight from a Samsung store in mainland China.

It should have Google framework preinstalled. To check if it is go in your settings and look for a Google option. To activate them you just need to add your Google account and install play store apk. No need to flash another firmware and anyway you can't it is the only 5g dual SIM variant.View attachment 4857229

Hi.

I have a HTC Kaiser which I've gotten to work beautifully with tomtom 6 and the latest USA maps. However, I also have a Samsung Blackjack II which does not work with the tomtom 6, I'm sure that out of the thousands of smartphone users out there, they can't all use google map or something free online crap (I don't have unlimited data). So please, Windows 6 smartphone users out there, tell me what you use for GPS navigation. Thanks.

I just setup Navizon on my mother's blackjack 2 last night. Google maps or windows live should work also, but Navizon has 2 advantages --

1) It also does positioning by cell signal and Wifi signal if it can't lock on GPS.

2) If it does have a gps lock, you collect points while you're using it as it collects data on what cell phone towers you can pick up in different areas, to improve it's cellular positioning system. These points add up fairly quickly (at least, they do on my kaiser) and for every 10k points you earn, they'll pay you $15 via paypal.

If you decide to sign up for navizon, I'd appreciate it if you use my referral link, as then I get bonus points for telling you about it. The referral doesn't reduce your point count or take away from your use in any way, so it's a win-win. Of course, If for some reason you don't want to, you can also go directly to their main site without the referral code and sign up.

Greetings et al,

Backstory: I climb large granite walls and my phone was left part way up and a party following found my phone and decided to smash the crap out of the screen. They left it on prominently displayed along a trail on a rock and someone else I knew found it and returned it to me.

Device: Google Pixel 3

Status: Screen smashed to bits, but I can power it on and see it in "adb devices" etc...

So it was this past Sunday that the scalawags smashed my phone. Saturday I had taken my daughter and son-in-law on their first ever large/multi-pitch rock climb, 600ft. plus. Unfortunately I had no downloaded the pictures of that event nor the videos.

* I don't know how to get this device in MTP mode so I can transfer the data w/o a screen

* I tried to shell to it and I get "error: insufficient permissions for devices"

* Does anybody have any suggestions on what path I should head down to attempt to pull the files off this thing?

-Thanks in bunches for any and all replies...
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Since you don't have USB debugging enabled and can't swipe the screen to unlock the lockscreen, there aren't really any options for you other than replacing the screen or sending the device to a professional shop to see if they can retrieve the data from the hardware by pulling it directly from the chip.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Ok then, you might have an option. If there is a TWRP custom recovery for your specific model number, TWRP natively supports adb so it should work. You don't have to root but you can try flashing TWRP recovery on your device and then boot into TWRP then connect to PC and use adb with the "adb backup" command to backup all user data then extract the data that you want from the backup.

To find instructions for adb backup, do a google search for:

"ADB backup/restore"

Find the command to backup user data.

I'm getting device unauthorized at this point so now adb doesn't work. I'm not sure what changed to cause that. It was working. I had/have twrp installed. I tried a "flashboot boot twrp.img". I had to temp boot like this when I was rooting this thing. The fastboot flash w/ twrp.img bricked the phone. Anyway, after a flashboot boot twrp.img. adb devices lists nothing. So either it's not booting twrp.img successfully or I'm missing something.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Ah, your bootloader is locked, that is probably why you previously had to boot a TWRP .img instead of flashing it. Now, I'm not sure it will boot anything. Try flashing a copy of stock recovery, then try the fastboot boot TWRP again.

Other than that, I think you might be at the end of your rope.
