[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Whoareyou:
I'm still pretty certain you're wrong, the v40, and OnePlus 7 pro 5g both only need a bit in each of their respective partitions changed via a hexeditor to allow oem unlocking,

they're greyed out just like the Pixel was,

I think the problem is being able to write it without it changing back during a reboot, which is what happens with the temp root currently available on the pixel 2, I think, but test it out,

it's the last bit of "frp" on the V40 and "config" on the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G, changing it from 00 to 01 and flashing that in either EDL mode or with an octopus box in 9008 mode is all that's needed to enable unlocking, maybe using dd will work for the Pixel, but it might not because you're booted into the system?

If you reboot before unlocking, it's undone though, even with the V40/OnePlus, so I assume using dd in the system won't work as it will probably be overwritten upon powering off and back on, but I can almost guarantee you if you find the right partition and change the very last bit from 00 to 01 and find a way to write it and get it to stick through a reboot to bootloader, you'd be able to unlock.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gaeland:
You're wrong, but it doesn't matter.

I reversed engineered a fair bit of the bootloader, here is what I found :

There are 3 flags which control the lock : is_unlock, is_unlock_critical, is_oem_unlock. Thoses flags are stored in the rpmb.

The first problem is that the command "fastboot oem unlock" actually calls ... "fastboot flashing unlock", which check if the oem lock is set before processing... There is however a function "oem unlock", it is just impossible to call it :(

There is also "oem provisionning" (which can be disabled), where the switch in the android settings enter in action. What the switch does is hashing with sha256 of [imei, serial number, product name, (and other bunch)], BUT this sha256 is then signed with a RSA-2048 key, and all that is stored on the misc partition.

At startup (and when calling fastboot flashing unlock), the bootloader check the misc partition to find this hash+signature, and allows the oem unlock if it is correct. Without the private part of the rsa key, nothing can be done on this end :/
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
bro.. i knew all this back on p2xl when i had it few years ago.. this doesnt change the fact that the devices are identical..

you left out a critical step in the process.. the device needs to be connected to the internet so it can phone home and determine if it is even unlockable or not prior to all that you stated. This is the only difference in the devices (either oem unlockable or not.)

Also, you say I'm wromg and then prove my point in your post lol. I said you cant magically modify misc and expect the bl to unlock which u urself agree with. You can modify it all you want, it wont change the fact that its not "rsa" signed as u called it and therefore will not work. We have modified and played with misc over the years as well.. even if u get the toggle on it will revert and in fastboot you will still be denied.

and yea, theres a bit more to it than a simple toggle.. first it has tobe supported.. then it has to be allowed.. then it needs to be unlocked.. there used to b an oem_provision and oem_bridge binary files on p2xl, dunno if theyre still there but u could use these with root to manually send/provision any data u wanted.. even with this tho the bl was still not able to b unlocked.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] twinkyz1979:
If a moderator would please remove the quoted comment and this one as well please.

You are not allowed to mention such things on XDA forums last I checked
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Whoareyou:
Contrary to popular belief,

it's not actually illegal in the United States to change the IMEI of a device unless you were doing it for fraudulent reasons or trying to bypass a lost/stolen blacklist and don't plan on informing the carrier that you are using a modified device on their network, to simply change the IMEI long enough to unlock the bootloader and change it back to the original wouldn't be illegal as long as the device isn't stolen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The IMEI has nothing to do with this, and changing the IMEI won't help unlock the bootloader.

Now, no more discussion of changing the IMEI please? XDA has made its position on such discussion clear.

Hi, yesterday I loaded my watch. Today when I disconnected from charging I had not charged. I reloaded it and it didn't work anymore.

The clock loops all the time.

I did the tutorial https://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/gear-s2/tutorial-downgrade-gear-s2-sport-t3334123/

I started the clock again and now it puts me:

This remember me on my problem loooooooooooooong time ago.

I have killed Security/CSA crap by stupid tests... and lost BT address... :D :o

You can check this theory... by flashing Combination Firmware...

If Combination Firmware proper start... check if BT addreessssss is available... because this BT crap is mandatory to pair Phone with Watch...

It is possible to restore BT...

I managed to flash the combination firmware and started.

Bluetooth can't start it.

is there any way? I have gone to agustes and tried to activate it but it does not turn on.

Newish phone (2 weeks). Seems to charge with no issues with the cable. You can move/wiggle the cable a bit and continues charging.. However, that is not the case when trying to transfer data. Any little bump to the cable and the computer looses it's communication with the device. Has anyone else noticed this?

Ive had issues in the past with a lot of type C cables but all have been used The type C port is considerably bigger than micro and tend to collect lint in them followed by pocket moisture and sweat...Then you plug it in and pack that all down in there day after day...

But on a new device it should not really wiggle. and or disconnect Ive got several devices type C and they all have needed cleaned But in your case I would warranty it out if I could

So we had frankesteined my boyfriend's VS996 back to US998. Played around with root and ROMs. Flashed it back to the latest VS996 Firmware and relocked the bootloader. Did the Verizon software upgrade tool to get to VS99630c now the software status says modified. Is there any fix?

[IMG="software status"]https://ibb.co/g3sCKrq[/IMG]
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Manually flash the KDZ. We have it posted.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Gemini_Lee:
Will using lgup take away the modified software status? He just wants the phone back to normal.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
No but it will give you the latest firmware.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Gemini_Lee:
We have the latest firmware through the VZW software update tool for windows. It's the exact same KDZ as you uploaded.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Sorry... I thought the main problem was you couldn't get latest firmware, and you thought it was because of the modified message.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
So, your concern is the "modified" status, correct? Was the phone modified in ANY WAY before you re-locked the BL? Locking the BL doesn't undo anything you did to the system partition, and hence the status checker would still see it as "modified". If you want it to be pure stock unmodified, flash the KDZ and it will rewrite the system partition, which will undo any modifications done before.

HOWEVER, also note that if the status checker looks for the bootloader status (ie, that it was EVER unlocked) then it still may show "modified". Though, it shouldn't... my VS996 20k is BL unlocked and rooted, but my status still says Software Status "Official". Probably because I haven't deleted anything in the system partition (but I have disabled some apps, of course).
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Gemini_Lee:
So flashing the VS99630c KDZ with Lgup and selecting dl partition then clicking select all will rewrite all the partitions?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Refurbish should do the same.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Gemini_Lee:
Still says modified. Should I try partition dl
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Yes, try that.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jerryspring:
Doesn't modified mean it's been tampered with at some point?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Superfliege:
This happened to me as well.

Originally, I started with a stock VS996. Just for fun, I Frankensteined it, then WTF unlocked the bootloader (no issues.) I decided to go back to stock and eventually flashed back to VS99630c kdz. At that point I was getting the modified status in the OS and in Download Mode. I tried reflashing VS99630c using Refurbish and Partition DL but to no avail.

I suspected that the bootloader was still unlocked and that was causing my "modified" status. However, on VS99630c, I couldn't get back to fastboot mode to check or to lock the bootloader again. ("adb reboot bootloader" just rebooted the phone.)

To fix it I did the following:

(!! This is from memory so please make sure everything you're doing makes sense if you try these steps !!)

Used patched LGUP to (Partition DL) flash US99810d. (This is the first step in the Frankenstein method.)

Booted into the phone and enabled USB debugging.

Connected to the phone and used "adb reboot bootloader" to reboot to fastboot mode.

Locked the bootloader using "fastboot oem lock".

Used patched LGUP to (Partition DL) flash VS99630c kdz (tried "refurbish" mode at first but got a cross flash error.)

Used patched LGUP to (Refurbish) flash VS99630c kdz (I'm sure this wasn't necessary but I did it...)

Success! After this I was back to "official" status in the OS and in download mode. To me, this supports my suspicion that having the bootloader unlocked was causing the "modified" error.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Thanks for your help to others. I've annotated your post so people can understand the why behind it.

Yes, your Bootloader is unlocked until you re-lock it the same way you unlocked it. Just reflashing any stock firmware doesn't lock it.

By flashing to stock VS996 you lost fastboot flash commands. No North American variant except US998 has fastboot flash commands. This is why you have to convert to US998 for WTF exploit in the first place.

And Verizon VS996 firmware doesn't have the annoying bootloader unlock warning -- because Verizon never imagined we would find such an exploit. ;) By flashing back to Verizon stock firmware without re-locking bootloader first, you "hid" the unlocked bootloader but still had it. If you had flashed to stock US998, H933, AS998 or any other North American variant you would have seen the bootloader unlock warning on stock firmware. But still you would have to be on US998 to relock, just like to unlock.

Thanks again for your write up!

I just discovered Sesame though I may be late to the game. I was looking for an app similar to Fastkey or Launchboard and Sesame seems to be the perfect solution. What annoyed me most was searching for contacts in the dialler app and scrolling for seldom used apps. Sesame allows me to search for almost anything on the phone with their homescreen widget which is also customizable.

I highly recommend it and have nothing to do with the developer.
[Sony XA2 Ultra ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Changelog:

20191024

- Fixed MTP crash issue.

20191023

- Sync'd source and fresh rebuild

- Now have a "Gapps included" variant and a "Gappless" variant.

20191004

- Rebuilt kernel

- Fixed camera turning green or crashing

- Fixed general stability.

20191003

- First build, a bit unstable.

- Camera turns green.

- PTP, MTP cause crashes.

- FM Radio does not work.

Notes:

This ROM is very, very, vanilla. It is straight up AOSP. No frills, no mods, no extras. Just pure source.

I personally don't use Gapps anymore, but I did test that the gapps version boots up and connects. That's about all I test with Gapps, though.

I also don't use social media except XDA, so I don't know how well every app works. But if you have issues and have logs, perhaps I can look at them and see what is wrong.

Can I flash back to firmware 50.x.xxxx after flashing this?

Yes, you can. I flashed this and then flashed back to the 50.2 firmware several times while testing. As always, you assume full responsibility for your device, but it worked for me.

Issues/workarounds:

- Video playback from camera. Any camera videos you record work fine, but the built in player can't play them. I downloaded and used VLC app to play them and they work just fine. You can get VLC or other apps from the play store, or here: https://www.f-droid.org/en/packages/org.videolan.vlc/, or if you are using the Gapps included version, you can use Google Photo.

- If you are using the Gapps included variant, the built in Google Camera app does not work. However, using the playstore, I downloaded a number of camera apps, such as Open Camera, and they all worked. I'll try to look into it if I get time.

https://nanolx.org/nanolx/nanodroid

I haven't been able to figure it out but it has a setup wizard as well which does give you the option to install the official play store. If any one else can't get that to work then perhaps install osm(gapps) with fdroid and install the "fakegapps" xposed module to get signiture spoofing. Hope this helps?

I am currently building this ROM again with built in gapps ... Hopefully, I can have that and an updated version of aosp that is gappless available tomorrow or the next day (so I can test it a bit). I spoke with a few guys on the SODP telegram channel, and they make aosp with gapps built in, so I thought I'd try that to see if that helps you guys who want to use this ROM with gapps.

Thank you so much! I have been waiting for this but when do you think it will be available?

I tested both the gapps included, and the non-gapps versions on my phone, both worked. With the Gapps version I was able to connect and download several apps, my emails synced, as did photos, etc....

For this rom, the things that I am actively working on are MTP/PTP computer connections.

Also, Android 10 is still in the works, it's just giving me a few fits at the moment, but I will keep working on it. I don't want to release a "half baked" rom, I would like it to be 95%+ functional before putting it up for you to use. Hopefully, that will not take forever. :fingers-crossed:
