It supports Treble so you can try flashing GSIs/SemiGSIs from fastboot.

Check if you are able to unlock it's bootloader

You can patch boot.img using magisk manager and can flash it using fastboot if your bootloader is unlocked

I have a locked mobile (T-mobile) , how am I unlock my pixel 3a XL to all carrier

I would love to receive step by step answers whenever possible Help!

Thanks in advance,

[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] sic0048:
You must get T-Mobile to carrier unlock the phone. They are the only ones that can do it. However, if you still owe money on the phone, you will have a hard time getting them to agree to unlock it. Honestly the most successful method I have seen is to reach out to the main T-Mobile account via a direct message on Twitter. Explain that you need to get a carrier unlock and see what they say.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] Reuven Brenner:
thanks a lot for the answer

1. I don't have a T-MOBILE sim

2. Is there no way to replace / override the existing operating system

3. Is there no software capable of hacking the system:rolleyes:
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] jmtjr278:
The first hurdle before you can do anything with the os is bootloader unlock. That it's not possible work a T-Mobile phone without T-Mobile doing it. Good luck.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] sic0048:
I hate that a person's banner doesn't appear in the OP, so I didn't realize you were in Tel Aviv. Again, I think the best option is to reach out to T-Mobile on Twitter and explain that you acquired this phone, but you live in Tel Aviv and need them to sim-card unlock the phone so that you can use it on a local service. They may give you a hard time if there is still money owed on the phone (ie bought on an installment plan), but it the phone was bought outright, or if you pay off the balance on the phone, they definitely should sim-card unlock it.

Once it is sim-card unlocked, you can then bootloader unlock it which will give you the ability to install custom ROMs, kernels, etc.

Dirty secret.... Call and tell them you're someone either famous or C level of a company and you're going to be landing in whatever country and you need your phone unlocked immediately to use a local sim for business purposes. If or when they question the account name it's just the account of your assistant to obscure your identity. Major Telecoms won't tell you about this but I can tell you 100% from experience this is how things work. Well I can't at least say with at&t, Verizon, TMobile and Sprint. As in I've seen the tools with my eyeballs.

So I'm kind of in the same boat. I just purchased one that is sim locked to Verizon. I have seen things about leaving a Verizon sim in it for 24 hours and it will unlock, luckily my work phone is Verizon so I'm testing this theory.

But can anyone tell me if this is permanent? Will it survive factory resets and such?

[Magisk] rootenshi:
I had YouTube-Vanced (Magisk Module) installed.

It was working fine, Until YouTube was auto updating.

So i tried to remove it (YouTube app) from "system", so when it's not a "system app" it won't auto update. but -as the mover app warned me- it went wrong and was removed from device completely.

Therefore, I had to reinstall YouTube from Google Play. Which obviously is an updated version. And Vanced-Module can't take effect.

I tried to reinstall Vanced-Module but to no avail.

When I tried to manually install the apk (of YT Vanced) from /sbin/.core/img

It said "can't install - package seems corrupted"

Any thoughts on how can I solve this?

Thanks!
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Since you now have managed to remove YouTube as a system app, uninstall it completely and only install Vanced.

For future reference, if something similar happens again down the line, you can just go to the App info screen and uninstall updates to bring back Vanced.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] Macs_90:
Hello,

I bought this smartphone few days ago.

I updated to MIUI 11.

I found an issue when I switch on/off the battery saver:

internet doesn't work at all, neither with wifi nor with mobile data. It says that is connected and is exchanging data, but nothing is working (I tried browser, facebook and other apps, but they didn't download data).

I tried differents wifi network so I don't think is a routrer's problem.

Internet usually works fine both with wifi and with data, even when battery saver is on. It starts to have problem switching the battery saver from on to off.

I need to restart the smartphon to connect again to internet.

Has Anyone found the same issue?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
And do you flash roms? if so you probably already know that some of your games no longer work, im talking about games that use Direct Draw. Quake, Quake 2, Duke Nukem. I havn't stuck with one of these roms long enough to try out any other games, so those 3 are the only ones I can confirm. Depending on if you have error reporting turned on, here is what happens when you try to launch one of these games;

you tap the .exe, it will start to load up and appear to be working, but as soon as any graphics are produced it closes. It may bring up the error report screen and you can send this report to microsoft. If you have this disabled then of corse there is no error report.

It seems that the wm6.1 roms and Diamond based roms out there dont support direct draw.

Currently I'm running Dutty's 4/29 rom and it's the most stable, it supports Direct draw. It's a WM6.1 Rom, however it was released BEFORE the official WM6.1 was released, this may have something to do with it.

my main concern is people aren't aware of this issue, and recently the OpenGL drivers are being developed and ran on the Kaiser. OpenGL opens a whole new door for us gamers! (hopefully). However when this OpenGL roms are available to us, and don't support DirectDraw, that just CLOSES half of those doors :(.

What's the point of an OpenGL rom if that same rom doesnt support DirectDraw?

Roms not support direct draw: (please add on to this list)

ROMeOSv2.3

[24 June] HyperDragon III WM6.1 WWE ROM 19588 - 19591 (Diamond ROM)

[Jun 07] Dutty's Diamond V1 Build 19588

[June 25] L26_KaiserDiamond_V9 (and other L_26 roms)

[June 18] Death V4 Business edition

WM6.1 ATT 214 ROM _ Ryncppr Version V5 _ DIAMOND APPEAL

I have not been able to test EVERY rom out there, and im sure the rest of you guys can help me add on to this list. but it seems a good number of new roms dont support it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] starmena:
And yes I've noticed it too. Doesn't the GBA emulators like Pocketgba and Snes emulators use DirectDraw too? It would help a lot if it were fixed. Even with the OpenGL drivers I doubt we would still be able to play these emulators at full speed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] godfa7h3r:
I can confirm games like Quake and Duke not running on my 6.1 roms. I'm currently using the one in my sig so that can be added to the list. I have also tried Duttys Diamond rom, and a few L26 roms and can confirm they didn't work on there either. Warcraft II does work however, and all my emulators play just fine.

non of those games in their normal form use directdraw at all

they run on very old wm2000 devices too

and even in their dos versions the dident use any form of hardware acceleration

well later on they came in opengl versions but never dx
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NuShrike:

yes this does switch it so it uses Gapi, but I had Gapi turned off for a reason, the reason being it crashed more. For example while playng duke, on the first level, if you look at the pool table it crashes for some reason, same with the orange lighting at the end of the level.

Burner for Neo-Geo/cps1/cps2 games. I like this one.. choppy with sound, Great with out. Due to the my tilt being underpowered. its choppy with sound for now.

PocketSnes for Snes games. it works. It really works.. play with the settings to see what fits you. Due to the underpowered tilt.

sounds like it i can still play them using wm6.1 on my himalaya but then it's not a full 6.1 i guess some of the core is prob of later date

I talked to dutty about the issue.

he says it's the new drivers that HTC released in the new wm6.1, it's some weird problem with landscape cleartype. I will flash a new rom and disable landscape cleartype and see if it helps.

it just seems slowly we have to disable more and more to get things worked (ex. A-GPS, sometimes HTC Home, now cleartype)

atleast we know the problem now!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
well now that the 3D drivers are released, and I was told that the problem with wm6.1 is just landscape cleartype, i flashed the newest hyperdragon III rom.

i tried lights.exe and it ran very well, i tried some different games, i then tried quake and quake 2, and they DIDNT work. So i went to disable landscape cleartype in kaisertweak to find it was already disabled. So cleartype doesnt seem to be the problem here, and I dont know what is, but quake still isnt working!:(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
the D3D made pocketgba run better? how is that possible? is it using the 2700 accelerator in place of the drivers? I know the Drivers dont accelerate 2D so i dont know how that would work.

I'll have to check out duttys hybrid 19716. I just know 4/29 is very stable. Do you know if duttys hybrid 19716 runs quake and quake 2?

Hi, thought I would chip in my findings.

Quake used to work on my TyTn II under WM6 but not under WM6.1, it just exits when you try and switch to landscape mode.

Without changing any settings in the config file, I'm now getting very smooth video from Duke 3D.

I have cleartype enabled and I'm running the game in landscape mode.

It's incredible...Plays like how I remember it did on my PC all those years ago.

I was previously running the Vodafone WM6.1 Beta ROM and got sluggish video.

Now I'm using the official Vodafone 6.1

I can't believe the speed this game is running at, and the general speed of the phone now...It's like they shipped proper drivers at last :D

EDIT: I haven't installed any other drivers. No HTC-CA and no Omnia.

I'm not going to install the HTC-CA drivers until I can get QuakeGL running :D

Ok did some tests.

Using the GAPI driver in portrait mode (landscape mode crashes), I'm getting between 38 and 40 FPS.

With the GAPI driver off, running in landscape I'm getting 20 FPS.

It still looks very smooth though.

then I'm back to the original state before I tried to update the OS.
