Used to take 1-2 weeks when things were simple and easier.

Your comment about factory builds doesn't make sense considering you don't need TWRP to flash custom ROMs etc
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] in_dmand:
True, but it does seem like it has greatly hindered rom development... It wasn't until very recently there were any roms even available.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
More cheaper phones will have a higher user base so more development activity.

I think Pixels already has solid software so not much to add and the high price point will hold it back a little

[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
No we all just have to move on to next generation rooting an modding. Magisk can be flashed, or the Manager App is used to patch the boot.img manually and flash it afterwards. GSIs ROMs can be flashed via fastboot from fastboot mode as well. So in my opinion it is fastboot flashing an GSI.img, Custom (optionally Magisk patched) boot, or Stock Magisk patched boot. That's it. It's even more, as it's back to the roots of adb and fastboot. TWRP has been there on U12+ for as long as the device exists, bit I never used it, as I switched to GSIs instead, and of on Stock the Magisk ROMs of LeeDrOiD and Team Viper could be easily installed through Magisk Manager. We should all have taken a look at phhussons work much earlier to accommodate to the things that got moving by Googles change in architecture when they introduced treble. We've only been to lazy, and many of today's users on this board, hardly know anything in-depth about adb and fastboot, but only scratch the three or four superficial standard commands. Technical affinity is more in demand again, and our good old adaptability.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] in_dmand:
Oh wow, thanks for posting that! I certainly don't expect dees Troy to handle that difficult of a problem by himself with his wife pregnant and everything. Thanks again
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dhacke:
I agree on most points of you. GSIs are wonderful especially for phones at release start when there are no custom roms available yet.

And luckily device specific custom roms can be flashed over fastboot, too.

But for one reason i want a twrp for our device:

I find data backups with twrp much more easier as without. At least on my pixel 4 xl i miss a twrp somehow because Titanium Backup doesn't work on the gsi which i'm using.

I must create all my app folders again on my phone when i update it and backup all my stuff manually on my pc in extra folders and files.

I could spare me all that with twrp.

(I know there is the Google Cloud too as possibility but i refuse to use it:D)
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ceelos218:
Why do you refuse to use Google cloud
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dhacke:
Because i don't want to feed Big G with my data.

And GSIs give me the possibilty to use my pixel without all the Gapps and the Google Play Service. That's a reason too why i like GSIs.

Privacy is an illusion unless you go completely offline.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dhacke:
So we should stop fighting for this? Sry but that isn't a option for me.

Yes complete privacy isn't possible mostly but there are ways to improve it. With privacy friendly services, FOSS Apps such as AfWall, AdAway and Ad and Tracking Blockers in Browsers, Linux instead if Windows and no use of Gapps etc.

I know that my comment is probably off topic so sry.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zetsumeikuro:
No worries man my comment was also off topic. I too used to a lot of what you currently do. Even using the magisk script Energized which does blocking of ads,trackers etc. But when I saw the sheer amount of information Google has collected even when I opted out of it, just made me realize how futile it almost all is. These companies will never be 100% transparent and honest with us since they're making money off selling our information.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Surge1223:
I have a hobby of reversing stuff, Ive given up trying to go private. With gms code I've seen, they check for so much it's ridiculous. I think a better method for the future is us (the custom rom community) coming together to find a way to block outgoing traffic via an open source app
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dhacke:
I think we already have this with AfWall+.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] StrifeSoldierVII:
I just wanted to chime in here with a tip to help fill the TWRP void that many are facing right now, especially with Android 10. You can use a manual file flashing app to do most of the same things that TWRP allows you to do, minus the recovery part, of course. You can flash all the TWRP mods you want using this method without needing a custom recovery. Just in case some people didn't know.

You can even install image files too, which means you don't need to be tethered to a computer once you get all set up. This guide should help you understand the power of manual file flashers without having to rely on TWRP for installing certain mod files.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Tulsadiver:
It's not Just about flashing. It's about recovery. You can't use a flashing app if you are in a bootloop.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] StrifeSoldierVII:
Oh definitely! Nothing worse than a bootloop. I was just specifically talking about the flashing part. I know a lot of people have been lost without TWRP, so they aren't installing certain mods as much right now since it takes more steps without it. But you can at least do the installing part without TWRP using a file flasher. I don't think as many people are aware of this. It's handy to know. You can use it as a stop-gap until TWRP arrives for any device you want.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kidhudi:
the backup and restore functionality of twrp is what i am missing most. just in case something goes wrong with a flash.

is there a way to backup/restore without a custom recovery?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dhacke:
Yes, over the app Titanium Backup. It can backup apps with data and i believe calender, contract entries and system data too.

In the past i only used it to backup apps, so i can't say how reliable it is for the other mentioned points.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] StrifeSoldierVII:
Edit
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Curiousn00b:
I'm sticking to Magisk mods currently, not that there are any TWRP mods or any major changing mods currently, since you could always get rid of root by changing the boot.img. Haven't had a bootloop in ages, probably the 6P days.

Development has definitely died down over the years, but stock+magisk fills a lot of the things you may want to do with a custom rom. Flashing a custom rom on my 2XL or 4XL, there's not much I miss when heading back to stock besides a feature or two that a rom has. That's about it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Tulsadiver:
If you have not had a bootloop in ages, you're not THAT curious ;)

Android 11 is about to release and so release of 10 recovery will be pointless. That also we have to think
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] WoZzYDoesitbest:
I miss clockword mod those are great memories
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
You're talking nonsense.

Android 10 will have many more users than Android 11 which isn't even out for another 5/6 months...
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] alwynjoshy:
You said is 10 is out for months then where is the twrp development? When some how they will release it that time Android 11 will be out and most of them will move to that then all the request will be for 11 twrp. I am talking about a portion of people since twrp development is very hard work because of too much changes in coding and design of new types of systems and how they work now
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
It will be out for 10 when it's ready and they won't consider doing 11 until 10 is done.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kerryh420:
Is there any update as to if there is a twrp for pixel 4 yet? Not trying to rush by any means, just asking since the last post was about a month ago....fingers crossed

[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] fKm:
Seems there is some movement on TWRP for Pixel 4
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CiriousJoker:
Can you link the source?

---------- Post added at 02:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 AM ----------

For me it's also about the recovery aspects. I couldn't care less about flashing things, but I absolutely need a terminal, backups & adb from inside the recovery before I touch anything or update my system. Last time I updated I was SO close to actually bricking my device. Luckily I could even avoid reinstalling everything but getting terminal commands running by creating flashable zip packages was a mess and I'd rather avoid doing that ever again. I imagine that's how people felt when they programmed PC's with punchhole cards..

Long story short, I'm thrilled to get my hands on anything I can test regarding TWRP.

Magisk must be hidden by renaming in it's settings. (Named my app MM)

Magisk Hide must have Pokemon Go and Play Services (if I remember right).

Also cannot have Magisk in any file name in your storage. (Apparently this will trip even non rooted devices)

[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mojorisin7178:
wow I really haven't done any modding in a long time. I did some on my nexus 6p after official support ended so i could use lineage till the battery crapped out on me. But Since i moved on to the pixels I have had all except the 3 i actually got the 3a instead. I just got my 4 a month ago. I am just checking out the info and development. So much has happened. I have a lot of catching up to do. Not that I really feel the need to root these phones nowadays just work well unlike Samsung of the past that needed root and aosp out of the box. While it does suck not having twrp or clockworkmod its not the end of the world. I seem to remember chainfire having an app that flashed roms from the device. maybe one of the great devs here will make an app like that. Its the backup and restore function that will really be missed and who knows maybe someone will come up with a solution for that too.

Just dont try anything crazy when you dont have a PC handy to fix it. Well I got a lot of reading to do to learn all this new stuff. By the way everything I do know about android came from xda. All the great devs here were so helpful to me as a noob. Just by asking questions or searching out the info I learned so much. So to anyone else here just use that search button and read. everything you want to know about android and its inner working is here on this site it just takes patience. I hope this phone and future phone get the same love as past phones. fingers crossed

[Motorola One Vision Questions & Answers] XGRK:
Hi, I bought the One Vision the day it came out and since then I noticed straight away, when you put a video in landscape mode, say YouTube or Google Photos, the phone automatically activates a kind of HDR/higher contrast mode, which is ugly, oversaturates the image, and make me lose a lot of detail, it's comparable to a beauty mode. Has any of you guys stumbled upon this? If so, how did you manage to solve it? Thanks
[Motorola One Vision Questions & Answers] Ebrahim Ali:
Yeah I noticed something similar. I don't think it depends on the screen orientation but rather just that this IPS panel doesn't have good colour reproduction.
[Motorola One Vision Questions & Answers] frankybabyy:
I also noticed this, and I also think it's worse in landscape. I installed the app "Screen Balance" from the Play Store and set it to about 90% brightness. It improves the image quality to be less washed out, but still it is not perfect.

So can ne body tell me how to xcess that secured wi-fi network without ne password .... Waiting 4 ur fastest reply.... Thanks in advance ..:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mrpiggae:
As far as I know, you can't. It's a secure network and without the key you can't log onto it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] badbert:
I don't know about where you live, but here in the US, we register our Wi-Fi passwords with the local police department, so that when someone would like to use them, they can call the police to get the password. Try calling the police and tell them you are trying to log on to a secure network, tell them your name and your phone number and they will provide you with a password.:rolleyes:

Hi badbert

U must b joking bcoz. may b u dont know , how 2 do that . But wait 4 sumtime , i will tell u only how to do it .... TAke care
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JokeZony0u:
you can get a software that "sniffs" out the pw's in the wifi..Its called Handisniffer or something like that. When you turn the app on, what it basically does is, collect packets (info sent between the user and the network) and you can analyze these packets. In order to be on the network, the user is constantly sending packets containing the network password in it. You just need to understand the concept and use it.

As far as I know, it isn't freeware and should cost somewhere between 15-30 dollars
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] open_source:
hehe^^

@writeonthis

i suggest you start with basics before tryin' to "hack" without even having a clue about networks or W-Lan at all.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] badbert:
OHH trust me I do know how to do it.... but to give out info like this on this forum could get you banned... and I like this place!

This is also why I setup routers with mac address access level. Unless you can hack through and obtain a MAC address from the hardware, and then clone it without taking a server offline, (immediate notification and automatic programmed reaction) no password in the world will get you in....

Extact your Official Rom and make a new nbh file with all SPL,IPL,PrimarySplash,SecondarySplash,OS,ExtRom,Radio and use the new Hermes RUU flasher choosing "Force Unsafe SPL"

With this way you will also Downgrade the Olipro SPL and the device will be like it was when you bought it. Exactly like Original.

But remember that there is always 0-1% something goes wrong. I have done this procedure 3 times with no problems at all
