[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] ohioDroid:
Pixel 3a. Bootloader unlocked. Stock. Previously have used Magisk although I didn't have it installed or setup at the moment. I was neglectful and hadn't updated OTA or factory images since updating to Android 10. My current boot slot is b. I've tried updating via Magisk OTA or system OTA but they both fail, so I use factory images manually to keep my data partition.

Today I downloaded the sargo November 2019 image. The process I've been using across a few Pixel phones the past few years has been to manually unpack the Factory image ZIP and the update ZIP, then manually fastboot flash bootloader, reboot, radio, reboot, then boot_a and boot_b, system, system_b, vendor, and modem.

It should have been a hint to me that I got an error when I went to flash system. My console told me I need to use fastbootd. So I switched there, flashed the system partitions. Went to reboot and got "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly.", which I've never encountered before. Press Power - ignore the device-is-unlocked message, and get to the Google boot screen. And then the device appears to be frozen.

Right now I'm thinking to go back to my first Android 10 factory image and see if I can reverse whatever I did... but figured I should check here to see if I had missed something important. Low and behold this forum says to only flash one slot at a time, to switch and boot into the other slot, etc. Okay, so I messed up. Any good ideas on how to fix what I did?

UPDATE: I don't normally sideload updates, but I got into recovery mode, sideloaded the OTA for November, and I'm back in business. I'll do a few reboots to be sure I'm good but the phone did boot up, my user data is intact. The phone still starts out with a "your phone is corrupt" message, which is then followed by the "you have an unlocked bootloader" message. That second screen has some messed up characters on it.

If anyone has advice on the "right" way to maintain slots A vs. B and how to be careful, how to combine this with Magisk etc and can point me to posts in threads, that'd be helpful for the future. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] sic0048:
I don't understand why so many people even mess with A/B partition commands. If you follow the normal flashing instructions, you don't specify a boot partition. Entering specific boot partition commands will greatly increase the odds that you mess something up.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] jmtjr278:
Just unpack the factory images and remove the -w. Then either do flash-all or open the flash-all and follow the steps inside to see what you need to flash. The portion that says update will fail if you have not followed the initial steps. Don't specify boot partitions the factory images should flash to both slots. That should take care of your corrupted message.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] ohioDroid:
Probably because there are references around saying to do so. And the threads have so many posts it can be difficult to read it all and learn something is right or wrong.

3-ish years ago I had come across this post that specifically says to flash A/B both:

https://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-update-fastboot-t3498187

I've been following it on Pixel phones every since then. I never gave a second thought to the A/B partitions up until this happened. The main thing that was different now from my perspective was having to use fastbootd to flash the system, which I've never done before.

By manually flashing the bootloader and radio, and then using Recovery to install an OTA update (instead of using the Factory image) I was able to get the phone to boot properly. It still starts up by saying it is corrupt and requiring me to hit the power button to proceed, and then showing the 'phone is unlocked' message with some garbled characters, but then starts up and works fine (as far as I can tell). Maybe I can OTA the future December update and that will fix things? Or is there something I can do now?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] dunderball:
Just want to try to provide some sound advice, next time maybe look to use the flash-all.sh script. There is absolutely zero reason not to, and going outside of that just means you're just tinkering around way more than necessary.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] Horgar:
I think you're over complicating things. Just download latest factory image, unzip it, connect the phone to PC and double click the run me bat file. I always clean flash, but if you want to keep data, as others have said, delete the - w .
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] ohioDroid:
Just an update on the status...

I decided to not try to install magisk or anything during November. With the December update I ran it OTA the standard format. The "Corrupt" message is gone. I assume (haven't yet checked) that I've switched over to boot_a.

Okay so going forward if I want to install Factory Images while keeping data just use the flash_all.bat but remove the -w switch. Got it.

Now I just need to get Magisk back on there and figure out the current way to enable WiFi Tether/hotspot.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sjamess23:
So im pretty familiar with my AT&T tilt and have flashed/changed a few roms in and out but i cant seem to find an program for my needs anywhere.

I have currently just moved back home from college for the summer and we have a Wireless router which we use to connect our laptops to the internet. but my PC does not have a wireless card and i was expecting to be able to find a program that will allow my tilt to pick up the wireless internet from the router and transfer it to my PC over the USB cord. As of now i have been looking for days and have only found "internet sharing" applications which all use the Cellular Devices data plan as a substitution. but since thats not available to me ive hit a dead end when it comes to this issue.

maybe theirs an answer or program for my needs, or maybe their isnt. any help would be appreciated. thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JamesMB:
Why not just hardwire your PC to one of the ports on the wireless router?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sjamess23:
Thanks JamesMB,

the distance where the pc is located isnt more than a few physical feet to the router through the ceiling , but if i were to run an ethernet cable to the pc it would have to take a rediculous path under carpet and up a winding staircase and across another room to access the PC. So its less of a matter of accessibililty and more one of practicality. good suggestion though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jeffla:
Go on ebay and get yourself a used wireless b or g network card for 10.00 bucks. They are very cheap.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] lifanus:
Such as this one... WiFi's so cheap now...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sjamess23:
thanks, i was just looking for a quick fix. maybe a program or something because running out and buying a card was more of a second option. its only temporary so i figured if i can take full advantage of the tilts capabilities then why not.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sjamess23:
any other ideas? or anyone else heard of a program of this sort?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jallenclark:
I have never heard of this. I can't see why anyone would take the time to write a program with how cheap the wifi. I also don't think you could even buy a laptop without a wireless card for about 4 years.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] _Alex_:
You should learn to search better.

By typing in 'internet connection sharing kaiser usb' into google, in link #1, I was able to find a post by blahmartinblah with a link to a link to what you're asking for.

Go do the same and you'll get your app...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Larken:
I found what I think is an LG Stylo 4 phone. I only know that because when I signed into it, Google sent me an email saying an LG Stylo 4 is trying to log into my account. Anyway the phone had been wiped and the SIM was missing. I'm not sure of the carrier. It won't let me sign in stating that it recognizes that the phone was wiped and I have to log in as the previous user if I want to use the phone. Would anyone know a way around this, or for me to identify who the previous user might be? I suspect it might be stolen and discarded when they discovered it wasn't able to be used. Any advice would be appreciated...

Although all these cases are flexible, soft gel transparent TPU silicone protection cases, I think this is great news, as it could be that other manufacturers later, start offering other cases of better quality and made with materials that would Protect the phone better.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] N0tNate:
So I just got a refurbished Pixel 2, already checked the IEMI on Verizon's site and it is not Verizon. I use Google Fi so I connected with that, and the OEM Unlocking setting was enabled in settings by default. I have enabled and disabled and restarted multiple times, but no matter if it is enabled or not, fastboot reads this after running

fastboot oem unlock

:

FAILED (remote: 'Flashing Unlock is not allowed')
fastboot: error: Command failed

I have restarted billions of times to check and see if OEM unlocking and USB debugging is enabled, and nothing has worked so far.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] themohvision:
f you are updating a Nexus or Pixel device that is manufactured in 2015 or later (for example, a Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL device), run this command:

fastboot flashing unlock

For Pixel 2 XL only with loader version prior to TMZ20a: the critical partitions may also need to be unlocked before flashing. The unlock can be performed with this command, and should NOT be done on other devices:

Can i take my note 5 sim (nano) and put it in a new note 8 (which also uses nano) without having to deal with my carrier, my carrier says if i get a new phone they MUST use a new sim card and the MUST change my plan. I DO NOT want to change my plan i like it the way it is, the sim is your subscription information but is it really tied to my note 5 as they claim

My buddy said i could just take sim card out of my note 5 , put it in my note 8 and have the exact same plan, just on a newer phone with all the new features, has same phone number , same data plan etc.. so who is right here?

It's probably the motion sense. If I had the same problem with the phone staying awake and not going to deep sleep.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] blazinazn:
If I had to guess, I would say it's detecting some kind of motion, which keeps it from going into deep sleep. I've noticed that at night my phone drains about 7%. Probably because it detects when I toss and turn in bed. I should turn off motion sense tonight and see if I get the same results.

Hi everyone, similar to the previous threads for

OP3, OP3T, OP5, OP5T, OP6, OP6T, OP7, OP7PRO, regular OP7T and OP7TPRO here is the EDL package (also known as MSM tool or unbrick tool) that can revive a bricked OnePlus 7T bought from T-Mobile.

It can also be used to rollback your phone to a previous release of OOS.

You can download the following versions:

ANDROID 10:

10.0.3 HD63CB

10.0.5 HD63CB

10.0.7 HD63CB (credits @viperbjk )

10.0.8 HD63CB (credits @viperbjk )

10.0.9 HD63CB

10.0.10 HD63CB

10.0.13 HD63CB

ANDROID 11:

11.0.1.5 HD63CB

Mirror for first and last MSMs: https://onepluscommunityserver.com/

It will only work with T-Mobile variant HD1907

Instructions:

Power your device off

Maintain volume up and volume down keys to get into Qualcomm EDL mode.

Launch MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe.

Specific to 10.0.7 and 10.0.8

On the login prompt select "Other" in the dropdown menu and click on Next.

Wait a few seconds until main window shows up.

Click on Enum to be sure your device is detected and press Start.

Wait ~300 seconds

Enjoy your brand new device

FAQ:

My device isn't detected when I click on "Enum" button

Go to device manager and make sure your phone shows up as QDLOADER 9008.

If it shows up as QHUSB_BULK, it means Qualcomm driver wasn't installed automatically by Windows Update. Download the latest one from Microsoft website at http://download.windowsupdate.com/c..._fba473728483260906ba044af3c063e309e6259d.cab (source https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=qualcomm hs usb 9008 ) and install it manually by right clicking on QHUSB_BULK and selecting "Update driver software" and "Browse my computer for driver software" to where you downloaded CAB file.

MSM tool is stuck on "Param pre-processing"

Ensure you're using the Qualcomm drivers linked in first part of this FAQ.

What is SMT Download mode?

Just don't try to unlock that mode, it will wipe your IMEI and your Widevine certificate if you use it.
