[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] raven.warsong:
I got this phone on amazon for 110$ us then seen it on ebay for around 65$ only after I orded it.

regardless the oem boot loader is grayed out.

its a gsm unlocked works fine with my tmobel sim.

came with stock 7.1 tryed to unlock then upgraded to 8.1 still grayed out and now 10.0 still grayed out.

If the boot loader cant be unlocked I most likely will send it back thanks for you time
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] flash713:
Sounds like it is a Verizon/unlocked model and they indeed do have encrypted boatloaders. If you had stayed on the old version of android you were on when you got it I believe there's a Verizon unlock boatloader thread here on XDA but it has to be on an older version of Android to work.

I bought my XL off eBay for $135 new a few months ago. Its confusing because some people that aren't like us XDA peeps, they don't fully understand the whole unlocked deal and most don't know wth a bootloader is or if they have Verizon unlocked model or also over on pixel 2 and 2xl eveb the refurnished units from Google have encrypted boatloaders and the thing isn't even greyed out but it won't unlock because they're encrypted as well. I've seen several reports of this on here, reditt and on Google's own help site people tripping out because they received replacement devices that had the encrypted bootloaders. I'd be sooooooo pissed!! If you run some fastboot commands and it can't be unlocked, if you end up not being able to return it and want one that doesn't have the locked down bootloader od throw it on swappa and sell it and get one. Swappa is cool because many of the people there are here in the forums or have been and they known what they have. Good luck. Sorry that happened to you man. It gave me anxiety after I looked for a month for a decent deal and read all the reports all over the internet.

There are Verizon Pixel & XL that are carrier unlocked but still have the locked bootloader and work on some gsm carriers. This sounds like it may be the case with yours. I'd throw it on a cord and type in the unlock fastboot command anyway just to see.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] raven.warsong:
thanks for the update Im not longer getting phones that has the boot bootloader locked.

i figured something was up and all ready boxed the phone up about 30 mins ago and sending it back thanks
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] flash713:
Np. All Android devices come with the bootloader locked and if the carrier that the device was sold on doesn't make their models to have the extra security, with an encrypted bootloader to where it's impossible to unlock the bootloader for anyone except the one who encrypted it, in this case the carrier.. I've never heard of a device that had the encrypted bootloader being unencrypted by request from user on whatever carrier the device came from. If they're encrypted, unless someone else finds a work around, and it would be here somewhere if they did,,, then they stay locked and can't be rooted.

Verizon devices that they sell CANNOT be bootloader unlocked because that's how they decided to sell their phones. Almost all Android's sold by USA carriers are that way these days with the exception of many Motorola/Lonovo devices and a few others in the mix here and there.

I had a moto g6 Play (Boost mobile) before my Pixel XL (which I named Jesus because it saved me ??) and my G6 Play had a quad core 1.4 GHz CPU while all other models of the same phone had an eight core chips Boost sold the runt and I was in a hurry the day I purchased it and the lady at Boost shook her head when I walked in the store and told her what I wanted she confirmed that it had an eight core CPU and me being in such a hurry that day grabbed it, paid and left only to find out later it was laggy and the lady in the store had no clue about what I said or wasn't paying attention just shook her head as I talked.. lol. So after I unlocked the BL and rooted it with good ole TWRP recovery & Magisk I was then able to debloat it and take off like 30-40 apps, all kinds of sales trash, then the lag almost went away and it made it at least usable thanks to the great work of PHH on GSI roms and everyone else who participates in the GSI development. So you gotta really watch for these CDMA USA carriers because they're the ones who have many phones with specs cut down in half like that.. I'll never buy anything but Pixel and OnePlus again! Too much headache and to me in my opinion those are the best devices.

It's become a real mission these days to purchase a good Android device that doesn't have an encrypted bootloader because that's the way most carriers sell them so the only way to go is buying factory unlocked and confirming that the device can indeed be bootloader unlocked before purchase. Thing is many people who sell phones online don't care to answer a question like that and they buy their phones in bulk and half of them don't know what the heck they have. lol.. A good phone salesman knows what we mean when we say the word "bootloader." They're like, "Aaaah hell another one of those xda rooting tech gurus." ?? Back in the day almost all Android's could be bootloader unlocked by user if they wanted to. Now it's a mess of confusion for those who want to mod their device.

after 3 hours of trail of my several passwords, the update reject me from log, i activated lost device. i used my first password on this phone and it worked!!.

Unfortunately the option of lost device did not work until i log in using the old password. and it seems it needs the password for first time to work otherwise this feature is useless( i mean if my phone was turned off and i activate lost device it will not work when i switch it back).

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] metropical:
This assumes you already have the latest version adb/fastboot installed on your Mac.

There's plenty of info here and else for that.

You are responsible for unlocking the bootloader.

Unplug all other USB devices. Most important step. It seems the HTC sometimes wants to own the USB.

Plug U11 into USB.

Toggle USB connection on U11 to File Transfer.

Launch Terminal (utilities) on your Mac.

enter "adb devices” in Terminal - should get serial back in Terminal window.

In Terminal - “adb reboot bootloader" .

“fastboot devices” should bring serial to Terminal window, and this screen on the U11.

View attachment 4870475

Reboot to download mode by

hand

using the up/down volume keys and power to enter/choose.

View attachment 4870471

Now in download mode enter “fastboot oem get_identifier_token" in Terminal.

Option click to mark: from <<<<Identifier Token Start>>>>

to

<<<<<Identifier Token End>>>>>

DO NOT highlight “INFO on any line.

The purpose of the option key is to be able to highlight and copy just what is needed.

Copy.

Now you can paste the "identifier_token" into the space of the htcdev.com page.

This will cause an email to be sent to you that will have an attachment of Unlock_code.bin , as well as a further link for the next couple steps to complete the Unlock process.

This Unlock_code.bin has to be dropped into the same folder as you have adb/fastboot in.

I use a subfolder of Downloads. In Terminal cd /Downloads/Android. Whatever works for you.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] paulash:
I realized that I forgot to upgrade the radio shortly after upgrading to the dcd 3.1.2 rom. Now my phone can't send/receive calls (it either restarts when I make a call, or it makes/receives the call with no sound).

How do I upgrade to the Alltel 3.37 rom (the one I need for my verizon phone, right?) without using an micro SD card.

Thank you!!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Big Dawg 23:
I dont think it is possible. You are going to want to go the route of the SD card. I am fairly certain you will need to flash to Stock(see the Wiki). Then start over with the Radio 3.35 or 3.39 then DCD 3.1.2. 3.39 is better on the 6800 in my eyes. It cleared up dropped calls and signal issues.

Dont forget to run the Verizon Cab and not to allow Sprint to customize.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] paulash:
Thanks for the reponse but I fixed it; I installed the Alltel radio rom (3.37.20) which also downgraded the O.S to the previous (but not stock) windows 6.0. Now that the radio had been upgraded, I then reinstalled the DCD 3.1.2 windows mobile 6.1 rom. Internal GPS and REV A work like a charm!

edit

PS I hate using the SD cards. I like updating through USB from my pc, because if I run into any problems I can just push another rom through the bootloader and it's all back to normal. It's safer IMHO, and saved my phone countless times where the SD never could have.

Download hex there installer from playstore it is an awesome app u can change battery notification navigation bar icons also it have support over 60 apps to theme and have exclusive icon themes .

Check screen shot for idea.u can also change 4g icon with LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Apo11on:
[/COLOR]

The answer to the first question - you dont, it's not available yet for Note 10+. Unless you want to try half baked, full of bugs, community made port of Android 10 posted in development section of this forum, which disables s-pen functionality and a few other things. The answer to the second question is Yes - you will need root, in order to modify a config file on /system partition, which would allow you to force-enable Gmail dark mode under Android 10 right now, before official dark mode roll-out. See more details here
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] torickray:
It sounds like you have no idea what hex installer is. It is totally a fix for dark mode. It is a modified theme and you don't even need to root your device to use it.

Hex installer is available in Google play.

The good thing about this app is it can even create dark mode for whatsapp.

So, I think this is related to the thread and a great solution for note 10 + who haven't get android 10.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Compusmurf:
Hex Installer is a no root method of enabling dark mode using Samsung Themes + Dark mode toggle.

Synergy is another app that does the exact same thing.

This WILL accomplish the same thing the OP is requesting with GMAIL (and many other apps) while waiting for the official rollouts.

Neither require root and this persons posts DO have connection at enabling dark modes in various apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] zaibjan:
U need googles sir

It's Hex installer, download it from PlayStore and follow instruction, no magic and pretty forward with guide in the app.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Apo11on:
MOD edit: Removed I actually tried hex installer myself, and unless I missed some configuration option, it appears to provides only partial solution - doesnt give gmail full dark mode. It is only able to make dark the gmail app screens themselves, but not the contents of every email. When you open any email, which by default has white or any kind of bright background - it stays that way with hex installer and dark theme enabled. True dark mode, like the one gmail has under android 10, or other email clients like blue mail, makes it dark everywhere, including email contents.

It turns out that I have a problem and it is that when I connect an auxiliary cable to the phone and the car, it gets out of control, I can't play a song because at 4-5s or in the middle of the song, it stops playing, it stops recognizing the auxiliary for 1s and back to normal, it's quite annoying, does anyone know how to fix this?

[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] busybox11:
Hey,

It's been a long time since you posted this message so I think I will have my answer

I bought an International RN8 for its 700MHz (B28) band.

Unfortunately, when I received it, I thought it wasn't working.

So I installed NetMonster, and it was indeed using 1800 or 2600 4G / LTE.

Did it worked for you ? Have you ever been modifying your phone to get it working ?

I'm trying to enable this band by editing the firmware with QXDM, but it didn't work, I can't get 700MHz and CA to work.

I hope I'll get a good answer.

Regards,

busybox
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] bomberb17:
My phone works fine in LTE bands 2 and 4, so yes. No modifications were needed.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] busybox11:

B28 is still missing, tho I'm sure that I have international variant...
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] bomberb17:
What is your carrier who uses B28?
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] busybox11:
It's Free (France)

But I'm sure at 200% that it uses B28 (you can check if you want but I'm sure)

HELLO, je suis chez free aussi ,il n'y a que le redmi note 7 qui a la b28, le note 8/8t ne l'ont pas.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] busybox11:
Well, yes, but actually no.

There is an international variant of the Redmi Note 8 which *should* have B28.

You can check on its page (locale Singapour), you'll see that it has B28 - because the model which is being sold here is the International one.

As far as I know there's no ROM for this phone, like, out of the factory it'll have this band enabled, but this firmware is not public (yet?) - but I might be wrong on this point tho.

So my reseller probably installed a global ROM on it which overwritten its modem's firmware. (This is very common on Xiaomi phones)

(Also check on Kimovil for RN8 International variant, and other sites as well, it has B28. Xiaomi itself confirmed me that.)

--

Oui, mais non.

Il y a une variante internationale du RN8 qui devrait l'avoir.

C'est noté sur le site de Xiaomi, tu peux vérifier en allant sur Singapour - les modèles vendus là bas sont les variantes internationales.

Il me semble que lorsque le téléphone est originellement installé, il a le firmware adapté, avec la bande activée, firmware qui n'est pas public (pour le moment ?) - mais je me trompe sûrement.

Donc mon revendeur a probablement installé une ROM globale qui a changé son firmware modem. (C'est très commun sur les téléphones Xiaomi)

(Tu peux aussi vérifier sur Kimovil pour le RN8 variante Internationale, ainsi que sur d'autres sites, il a la B28. Ca m'a également été confirmé par Xiaomi eux-mêmes.)
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] loopypalm:
so enable the band is only software related ???

then why not flashing a global rom ? it should work right ???
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] busybox11:
Yes, it is only software-related.

No, flashing a Global rom won't help. It has only the bands enabled for the global variant, which does not have B28.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] tophechris:
Hello,

I am in the same situation, I have bought an international version for having the B28 band but I can't check if it is working or not.

Now I have flashed Havoc-Os 3.6 ROM and I can't figure out how to check / enable B28 band.

In NetMonster, I only see 1800 and 2100 band, no 700Mhz but I am not sure if this is the frequency of the nearby antenna or the compatibility of my device.

Thanks in advance
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] busybox11:
Hi,

I also flashed bezke's Havoc OS (but this doesn't matter).

You can check the bands enabled using Network Signal Guru (root) by going into the three dots menu, Lock bands, LTE then you'll see all enabled bands for LTE.

What variant do you have btw ?
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] tophechris:
Hello,

As I said in my previous message "I have bought an international version"

Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T: https://cacombos.com/device?model=M1908C3XG (Global)

I know there is theory way to edit modem to get bands enabled but that could cause lots of issues. Even you get band work, your device is not designed for X-band could cause high error rate etc...
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] busybox11:
Nope, it's just Xiaomi being Xiaomi and intentionally locking bands.

Also, my variant (International) DOES support the band.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] olkitu:
Well they don't really lock bands. I guess they have to pay to Qualcomm to get X-band enabled. For low-cost devices always have less bands than high-cost devices. Modem files are signed by Qualcomm so Qualcomm has made these files for Xiaomi devices.

I recommend check bands support before buy low-cost Xiaomi devices. There is many other good devices what support all bands you need.
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] busybox11:
But I did checked the bands!

The international variant (not the global) of the RN8 was advertised as compatible with B28, which is, in fact, not, for some reason.
