Nvrmind thanks guys for helping my phone just updated without asking me to October patch from September. This is the worst phone I have ever used so far.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Hexlay:
You should have turned off auto update in developer options... Otherwise phone updates automatically on reboot
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] RyuHacks:
I know, it's dumb of them to turn it on by default. Btw after u have temproot just install twrp from the play store and flash ur recovery that way u can get perm root. When you feel like it flash a custom rom and tick the enable oem unlocking and u have a unlocked bootloader.

Try running "chmod -R 777 ~" in Termux
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] RyuHacks:
I did this using my old phone, I lost the recovery and I was able to flash any recovery using the twrp app with root. The one about unlocking bootloader it's my opinion since we can usually tick the unlock bootloader on custom roms. Sorry I forgot to mention it's experimental I was too pissed off yesterday that my phone updated itself.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] -VeeThree:
Same commands, just a different terminal emulator. Process should be the same as what's in the OP, but instead of using Termux, use Jack Pal's. I was getting the permission denied error with Termux, too; switched and everything worked.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] trabadura:
Yes, but with this emulator I can't see the moved files. With a termux emulator I write a termux-setup-storage, after "ls" and the scripts folder is visible. If I need to move them to a new or another folder, what is the command?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
just push the root files into a terminal apps root directory then execute..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] RyuHacks:
Sorry I didn't know about verified boot. My next idea is why not download one of those imei changer apps in the play store that requires root and change the phone's imei to a google variant's imei.

Does this require a specific patch level to be ran? I currently have my phone at 9/8/2018. Thanks

OK: after reading ALOT of this i guess september 2019 here i come.

For the images I see; 10.0.0 (QP1A.190711.019, Sep 2019)

and

10.0.0 (QP1A.190711.020, Sep 2019)

I would venture to guess that the 1st one is the more favorable method?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] logan2611:
The BL on the locked Pixel 2 is identical to the unlocked one

The exploit probably works on images before September 2019, however I cannot guarantee it. There is no point to not trying though, worst that can happen is the phone will reboot.

[MENTION=10009068]logan2611[/MENTION] Do we have r/w access to vbmeta?

If so, why not flash that with an image that disables verification, and then flash TWRP, custom rom, and unlock?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] logan2611:
Because vbmeta is verified by the SOC's bootloader.

EDIT: It seems that the important boot parameters aren't in there anyways, afaik those are stored in the eSE.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] shwise:
Are you sure it's verified? Google's documentation never mentions that.

If we create a signed hash tree that verifies anything in the recovery partition (see link below on example "xyz") , then we could flash TWRP, I believe.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SeanAndre03:
Replacing partitions should work when unlocking bootloader. But the problem is Verizon still has hands on your phone so either they will leave your phone like that or lock it again. So maybe create a fake imei too:laugh: or just unlock the edl thingy then flash the whole unlocked pixel 2 xl.:)

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AdamDev:
Thank you so much for your kind and fast reply!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FernBch:
You need to either:

Know which block/address to write the "Unlock Enable" flag to in the PST partition. I believe it's simply a 1 or 0, but I'm not 100% positive.

Or

Get a copy of the PST partition from someone who can unlock and overwrite the existing PST data.

Or

Trigger the process that does it all....

[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] fathomer:
I flashed the magisk module for using the auxiliary cameras in the Google-camera, and it resulted in the phone only booting to the flashboot mode and nothing else. I tried that twice and I'm certain that flashing it was the only problem.

I reflashed the stock boot image to solve it.

Is there a way now to safely flash it ?

Can anyone help combine a list for some other Magisk modules that may cause bootloop for the device?

PS: The device was rooted without using any custom recovery.

Xclicker is a Free app , designed to do some auto click on Android System . Easy control , it only need accessibility and floaty window permission , of cause if you choose Root Mode it need Root permission either .

Accessbility mode can run on Android 7.0 or above, if your mobile is rooted , you choose use Root Mode.

The effect of Accessbility mode and Root Mode is the same , the reason why Root Mode existed is Accessbility mode can not run below Android 7.0. Of cause , in below Android 7.0 situation, you also need to root your phone if you want to run Xclicker beacause it will apply Root permisson when select Root Mode Running.

Xclicker also can run on Virtual Android System by Root Mode , such as Android emulator , Red finger ,VMOS etc .

Attention:The Real click asix is on the top left button , not on the middle of button.

For more information ，you can try it . Any question pls reply me , Thx .

[General Topics] Kiran Cellphonix:
Hello friends, today I'm sharing with you the latest technology of changing the broken screen of your mobile phone without changing the display. This is much cheaper than changing the entire display of the mobile phone. If your phone display is working fine but the screen glass is broken? Then this will help you to save more money by just replacing the broken screen only. A high tech machine is used to do this process, it's known as LCD Laminating and Debubbling machine. Now, most of the high tech mobile phone repair shops have this technology and it only takes a few hours to complete the work. When you visit a mobile phone repair shop in order to change the broken screen first ask them if they have the latest glass changing technology? if they do ask them about the process and how much time will it take to complete the work. For most of the smartphones, it only takes 1 - 2 hours maximum. In the case of edge display phones, it may take up to 5 - 7 hours. The price will differ according to the model of the phones but I guarantee you that it's way cheaper than changing the whole display of the mobile phone.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gicarey:
Hi Folks,

Have a 7th Gen Fire7, which is currently not recognising that it is connected to a PC or charger via USB. Multiple cables, PCs, and chargers tried. Also power banks. It's definitely a problem at the device end of the wire.

At start-up, if connected to a computer the PC recognises the device in preloader mode briefly, but as soon as the bootloader or OS starts, nothing. No change if I enable ADB mode on the device (either in the OS or TWRP).

Left it connected to power overnight and charge level didn't drop, but didn't increase either.

Current state: TRWP + Stock 5.6.4.0 - factory reset.

What led me here?

- Was working normally in 5.6.4.0

- Decided to try the Fire7 tool to remove some Amazon apps and reduce load/improve performance.

- Attempted rollback to 5.4, not realising this would brick a 5.6.4.x device

- Subsequently, in a preloader loop

- Used the 'short trick' and Linux scripts to load the hacked preloader, then fastboot a bootloader, the ADB sideload an OS (5.4)

- Relieved, and out of time for fiddling, decided to put it back to stock 5.6 (as noticed the Kids side was a better experience, and my boy will be using it in a week for a flight)

- Grabbed the .bin file from Amazon and flashed using TWRP (expected to lose that bootloader, but didn't)

That's when I noticed that it was no longer charging or communicating with a PC.

Since, I've been through various upgrades and downgrades, resets, wipes, etc, all to no avail.

I don't think it's hardware - I can't have damaged anything through the short process as else the fastboot/ADB piece wouldn't have worked after.

I note that it can't be powered off whilst plugged in anymore. It will immediately start up again.

All and any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated, as I'm not entirely certain where to go from here.

Many thanks.

Regards,

Gavin.

Thanks for replying. Yes, can confirm everything is fine on the supply-to-Kindle side of things (and, indeed, with the port on the Kindle). Specific answers below.

-> Make sure you check the microUSB port for damages.

Port definitely fine, opened the device to check, all solder points to the board are solid, pins undamaged, no fluff/etc

-> Make sure the USB voltage/current is 5V/1000mA (5.1V/2100mA is recommended).

Yep, charger output is fine. Multiple chargers used, this device has previous worked on this charger/cable, and another fire continues to do so

-> If the USB cable is broken. Ues an another USB cable or buy a new one.

Tried multiple known-good cables.

-> Try to use an USB voltmeter/ammeter or didn't have. Use a multimeter.

Voltage output is fine and stable, as is the current.

-> Make sure the USB cable wiring is correct polarity. See attached image on this post.

Yes, wiring is correct.
