[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Hackerdotgov:
I recently bought a refurbished pixel 2 from a phone repair shop and i went through the process to unlock the bootloader, enabling dev options, enabling oem unlocking and usb debugging, ect. but when i boot into the bootloader and run

fastboot flashing unlock

, it throws an error

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

but when i run fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability it returns

(bootloader) get_unlock_ability: 1
OKAY [ 0.000s]
Finished. Total time: 0.000s

result of 'adb shell getprop sys.oem_unlock_allowed' is 1

result of 'adb shell getprop ro.boot.cid' is 00000000

im running linux and ive tried running the command as sudo and just launching a root terminal to no avail. If anyone can help, it would be very much appreciated

EDIT: Now im even a bit more confused. i ran

fastboot oem device_info

and it returns

(bootloader) Verity mode: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
[B](bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true[/B]
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: true
OKAY [ 0.000s]
Finished. Total time: 0.000s

so if critical is unlocked why cant i just unlock the bootloader?

How do you know that the pixel was refurbished? I bought one (as new) as well but I fear that it might be refurbished. Is there something to look up in order to check that?

any phone this old listed as new or brand new is 100% refurbished in china using the ****tiest parts and then boxed in a really poor recreation of the stock box and shipped off to a distributor in your country

Any update? Same issue here
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] eyeyousee:
maybe you need to use the "oem unlock" command instead of "flashing unlock".

is it possible to unlock via some type of APK without PC
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] ACHILLES R32:
I know that the refurbished pixel 2s that Google sends as replacements have locked bootloaders.

Also the Verizon wireless variant of the pixel 2 has a locked bootloader

So it could be that who ever refurbished your device locked the bootloader permanently

I also have the same problem. Reported it to google and they have no solution at this time.

Can I root it with magisk without having to unlock the bootloader first? I know I won't be able to flash twrp to the recovery image though.

If something wen't wrong, could I sideload the last ota and get everything back as long as I can boot to the bootloader?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] ACHILLES R32:
Im fairly certain that you need to have unlocked bootloader to root the phone.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] ragnese:
I'm just grasping at straws here, but did you try *relocking* the device from the critical_unlock, and the unlocking it with the regular unlock command?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] 13kai13:
I'm on a Pixel 2 warranty replacement from Google directly. The OEM Unlock option is enabled in developer settings as is USB Debugging. The computer has been authorized by the Pixel.

I'm getting those same errors. It's definitely not a Verizon Wireless phone since it's a Canadian phone sold directly by Google.

I'm guessing there is no workaround for this yet. Why would it be listed as bootloader unlock allowed in developer options yet fail when you go to fastboot flashing unlock?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Hackerdotgov:
maybe there is some sort of failsafe in the kernel that stops it from being bootloader unlocked if a component on the board has been replaced? or maybe google just says "frick you, pay more money if you want root"

but that's just a theory.... A GAY THEORY
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] fc3211:
Hi I just bought a refurb Pixel 2 on Amazon. When i go to developer options I see the "OEM unlocking" option is completely greyed out. Even after i enabled usb debugging.

Does that mean that my bootloader is impossible to be unlocked? And how is one able to know if they have the Verizon variant?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] ACHILLES R32:

This is why I regret doing a warranty through Google Fi. I even had it replaced twice. Both times, the bootloader was locked. It appears to be unlock-able, but then this happens.

Does anyone know if this is limited to just the Pixel 2? I never had this problem with the Nexus 5X phones I had.

Hi. I am on beta xiaomi-miui.gr 9.12.5 and i am trying to install apk files. The message that i have is this "No application found for this type file"

Do you know how can i solve this? A few roms ago there was not such a problem.

Thanks

You can try and install Mixplorer https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.mixplorer and try again.

The problem is that i can not install it because it is an apk file
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] pabloeldiablo:
Right :) Try and find another file explorer on Goggle Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mi.android.globalFileexplorer and see if you can open .apk thruogh a different file explorer.

Hi

I went through all the threads and could not find any one discussing these 2 problems!

when setting up you mail account you can't see what you are writing!!!! and it seems that it is the same for most of the writing in the machine .....!! any Help please

2nd .. what is the best setup for getting a continuous 3g signal? my Nokia has it all the time! I can not make vedio calls :(

I am using ROM 1.35.456.3 and radio 0.93.25.ns26
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] P996:
Besides my HTC Touch Diamond, I also own a Nokia E90(for daily work) and a Nokia N95 8GB(when having family quality time, mostly weekends).

So far, I don't know of any HTC device to be only even close to Nokia's 3G reception quality. The E90 has full HSDPA signal reception, almost same with the N95 8GB in our bedroom, no problems here to check emails, get attachements ultrafast.

The Touch Diamond doesn't get a HSDPA signal at all(same place on my night desk) and if the "H" shows up(VERY rarely), it is only one bar and it falls back immediately to GPRS or EDGE when I try to download an attachment. Horrible 3G performance.

Regarding Touchflo3D and the "keyboard": I can't hide the feeling that HTC rushed things with the Touch Diamond. The reason could be the early introduction of the iPhone 3G, it could also be the fact that HTC needed a new "breakthrough" device for their carrier partners. If HTC would have put around 6 more months into Touchflo3D and hardware development, I'm pretty sure we would have seen a very nice product.

Touchflo3D looks absolutely stunning, no doubt about it. If it would work only half as good as it looks...well... :( I truely hope that during the following months and the additional pressure created through the new iPhone 2 and other interesting products from Nokia and Co., HTC will put more energy into Touchflo3D and hardware development. I wish Microsoft would use Touchflo3D as a benchmark for GUI design(not functionality!) because it really looks good, much better than Apple's iPhone "mini"OSX.

Right now, all early Touch Diamond adopters like us have to live with the flaws this beauty has. It is a stunning device but not even close to perfection. AT LEAST 6 months of software/hardware development are missing from this device, I know it sounds horrible and it is.

Lets hope that HTC and especially the steadily rising Touch Diamond developer community will find a way to improve Touchflo3D performance AND integration into WM6.1. Touchflo3D isn't fully implemented, it is more of a "cover" for WM6.1 and not a very thorough one. I just hope that some people will use this opportunity to embedd the Touchflo3D look even further into WM6.1, right now it looks like a halfbread "something", with that fancy Touchflo3D interface and that dusty WM original interface in one place. This needs to be changed.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Spawn12:
Would be interested to know which rom your using and which network your on???. Reason i ask is that im with tmobile and their 3G coverage is brilliant, with my n95 8gb i could easily get 3.5g access but seeing as im getting my Diamond tommorrow...if im going to have major issues getting a decent 3g signal then the phone is no good to me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
Yep! anoying as hell. the only thing you can do is turn the keyboard off to see what you wrote, and then turn it back on to finish typing (the icon in the center bottom of the screen just in case u didnt know - but i'm sure u did!)

Or in some windows u can scroll the window down.

I tell you whats worse tho.. when you open opera and the HTC search page comes up.. you can't see what your trying either!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Ajebooo:
Thanks, Actually what I mean is not the words hidden behind the keyboard , try to setup an e-mail account and you will see what I mean.....> you can see the box , but the words are invisible -----the invisible words :)... very unprofessional work , I can't believe this

the 3g coverage is great for my E90 , but for this Diamond it is only Edge ....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
hmm i setup my email yesterday and didn't have that problem at all.

I'm using the UK rom 1.37.405.1
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Ajebooo:
I guess they fixed it between 1.35 and 1.37 ... it is really annoying ....

if anyone has upgraded ... please give me your feedback , I did not see this issue in any other thread.

and is there a solution to this bad 3g reception?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Ajebooo:
the 3g reception is OK now , I changed the operator and it worked. strange it works with certain operators only :) .

left with the hidden letters problem :(

[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] pal_20007:
hello,

i have mi 9 lite and the default dialer is google dialer insted of miui dialer and there is a lot of problems in this ugly dialer:

1- you can't press power button to silent and turn off screen the screen will light again for incoming call and in full screen

2- you can't search by number i mean by typing part of the number in dial pad

3- you can't record calls

4- it use country code or something like that so you send a message to contact and he reply to new message because the message app sees it as different number

5- very lag and slow app

so is there any way please to uninstall this app and install miui apps for dial and message and contacts i don't care a lot about call recording if that is the problem but for all other reasons

thanks in advanced

and do i get updates and all futures and is it stable like current rom ?

sorry i don't know what is rom yet :$
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] obiwanbartek:
Actually you can search by part of number. I just checked it. But the other is true, especially the big lag after typing each letter/number, if you have more than ~50 contacts.
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] pal_20007:
no you can't search by number using dial pad but you can by using search bar that open the full keyboard not the numbers only i used to type part of number in dial pad when i am busy or need to fast call someone but with search bar and full keyboard i lost the speed
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] mogamycool:
yes it supports arabic.

Yes, it has proximity sensor.

Type *#*#6484#*#* in dial pad, and check if proximity sensor is working ok.

So as I understand from you, you have same Mi 9 Lite (no Mi CC9), but you don't have same problem as me?

I have check that nr, and when I try to test proximity sensor, nothing is happening. It is a nr 5.0 and it doesn't change.
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] mogamycool:
well I don't know what do you mean in first request, But You can install stock rom through recovery or flash it using miflash tool . and yes, you can easily downgrade to miui 10. By the way miui 11 is faster than miui 10 ,but I think miui 10 is solid stable comparing to miui 11.
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] pal_20007:
i mean its drain battery faster i said slow by mistake

thank you
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] obiwanbartek:
Yes, I have Mi 9 Lite (EU version, EEA rom, not Mi CC9), and everything is working OK. But if the test shows only 5.0, that means your proximity sensor is broken. The reading should change to 0.0 when you cover the sensor, and back to 5.0 when you uncover it.

[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] vac72cov:
Same problem here. I have this exact problem whenever I receive a call, even when I am with connected cabled earphone. I tried even with tws earbuds, and I get the same problem.

Only way to turn off the screen, while we get the problem during the call, is to drop down the notification area and than turn off the screen with the power button. This way I can turn off the screen.

I'll test this out over the weekend.

A quick question, what makes this "unofficial?"

Also do you have gesture typing working? I tried out a few 10.0 roms and none of them had gesture typing working which was quite unfortunate.

Unofficial means no OTA

but now i got official also means OTA support will be there from next build.

I apologize, I seem to be running into trouble: I'm getting an error message as I try to install via TWRP

"Update process ended with ERROR : 7

Which recovery u tried and flash latest weekly firmware first

Then ROM
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] rrrsssttt:
I'm working off TWRP 3.3.1.0

Ahh..I didn't install the weekly firmware, I have the latest stable firmware 11.05

In the firmware download the recent firmware 9.12.12 is only for the Chinese version (I think I have the Global/Indian version of the phone). Will it cause problems for me to download the Chinese firmware?

By the way, in that sense the error message makes sense, its asking for firmware later than 9.11.28; and I thought 11.05 was more recent and thus I was fine. If we're going by 9.12.12 numbering scheme, I truoly don't have the latest firmware.

So just to ask, will it break my phone if I download the Chinese firmware?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] officialyash007:
First update your recovery to orange fox

Link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/or...angeFox-R10.0_2_b001-Beta-violet.zip/download

And no probs will be there if you flash Chinese firmware on Indian variant

Second flash latest weekly fw first

Link: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/violet/#

Then flash ROM

And gapps

And reboot

Done

Cheers :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] rrrsssttt:
Sigh, I'm so sorry for being a hassle; I'm clearly doing something wrong

1.) Successfully installed Orange Fox

2.) Flashed firmware 9.12.12

3.) Installed crDroid

4.) Installed Gaapps (beta for 10.0)

However the phone would not boot; it gets stuck at the "Redmi by Xiaomi" splash screen.

I tried it again without installing Gapps (incase the beta version was faulty or something), but no go. Its still stuck at the Splash Screen
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] officialyash007:
Once format your data via orange fox

Then goto wipe

Then flash fw

Then reboot

the problem after a lot of tinkering was the version of Orange Fox linked to in an earlier post.
