[MENTION=2685386]louforgiveno[/MENTION] Thank you for reply! Can I flash AP firmware without patching it with Magisk?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Sprov:
Technically not bricked, just a bootloop. Follow the answer from louforgiveno and you'll be fine!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] louforgiveno:
Yeah but you need to run it from a booted system
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] fenixsword:
Hey! long story short. My phone wont boot slot B (witch is the location my primary Os is installed.) it reboots itself immediately after booting and switches back to slot A where it starts to load H2 OS, but in the end it stucks at loading screen forever.

Full details here:

please help me with it!:crying:

Thanks!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] TexnoViking:
The issue might be that official TWRP does not support Android 10 yet. You probably needed unofficial mauronofrio twrp. However, I am not sure if there is a clean way out of this situation. Maybe if you flash the right twrp it will just boot?

What do you mean "everything is encrypted and I cannot do much there"? Data is encrypted with your password, isn't it?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] fenixsword:
how to properly flash the twrp?

and for your question.

the thing is, it doesn't gives me a password. it automatically gets into here:

[IMG="no password, it right away sets it to read only."]https://imgur.com/uDZKs99[/IMG]
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] TexnoViking:
If you click "Read Only" doesn't it ask you the password then? I swear I have done this today when recovering from a poor magisk module...

I am actually not sure if you want to keep it read only or not, but I think no matter which option you select it promts you for a password

EDIT: Sorry, got distracted by the picture and missed the question. I looked at some threads and the process of upgrading seems to be potentially complicated if you have Magisk. Read more here. And maybe here.

Maybe if you boot into bootloader, run "fastboot set_active a" and then "fastboot flash boot_a <recovery_filename>.img" and everything will just work. Maybe it won't. Replace "a" with "b" in both commands if you are trying to boot into b.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] fenixsword:
and yet again, it doesn't asks for pasword, and wvwry folder i look to restore, looks like this:

meaning it is encrypted.

is there a way to reinstall TWRP from PC using command prompt, using adb or something like that?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] TexnoViking:
Hm, interesting.

IF YOUR DATA IS ON THE LINE, DO NOT LISTEN TO ME. I do not know how twrp backup/restore works. Maybe wait for someone more knowledgeable to come in if you are worried about the data. But if you are sure that everything is safe on your pc somewhere, feel free.

Yes, please see my edit. You can do it through fastboot. You can use the respective section here for inspiration.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] whatsinside:
Did you had the password block on phone?

Just answer me, do u know the decrypt data? Its the password which u use to unlock phone
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] fenixsword:
i'll answer detailed.. At start, while TWRP was working and it could launch slot B (it's where my OS initially was installed), it asked me for the phones password.

After backing up TWRP and trying to update it, it failed to launch OS, so i tried to restore from backup.

After restoring, it just couldn't start slot B at all (OS nor recovery) and it switched to slot A.

in slot A though, it didn't asks me for password, and encrypted data right away.

Now at the moment,after trying to flash TWRP to both slots, slot A don't launch recovery, the phone seems like it's connected to PC and works but screen is black, and the problem with slot B stays the same (switches right away to slot A)

you really can help with that? :silly:
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] MrSteelX:
Restore from twrp is broken. Everything on slot b is gone but your data is there. You must install the same oos version you had on slot b to fix slot b. Then you boot into and do first time setup. Reboot to twrp and restore data only.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] whatsinside:
Try to enter settings and terminal, and type "decrypt [password]" or "twrp decrypt [password]
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] fenixsword:
ok.. i get what i need to do.. is there a guide on how to do so properly, so i wont mess up things even more? lol
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] MrSteelX:
The easy way would be if you have otg cable to jump drive with stock oos, twrp, and root. If not, then adb in twrp is your friend.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] fenixsword:
so i do have OTG cable. But i need a more vivid explanation on how to install stock os on it. or how to use adb in TWRP, if TWRP doesn't load on any slot.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] MrSteelX:
The pictures look like you still have twrp. From twrp, you install stock rom twrp. Reboot recovery. Root and boot into system. The jump drive is because it will not be encrypted in twrp.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] fenixsword:
that's the problem though.. TWRP is gone, that's what i tried to tell you

first i need a way to flash recovery, then to do what you are suggesting.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] MrSteelX:
You put phone in fastboot mode. The fastboot boot twrp.Img

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] fenixsword:

do you think i will be able to recover all the data from the phone?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] MrSteelX:
maybe?

After a lot of bricks .. and a lot of flashes I managed to get working English rom that I can call with.

It's seems that a lot of the Roms use 1.58.25.17 radio however this doesn't work with a S11HT due to the 1700Mhz hardware

Radio version 1.65.14.06 does appear to work and I have been told that 1.65.20.29 works also but I haven't tried it yet !

Hello

i'm fan of pixels AKA nexus years, i have now the pixel 2 xl that last battery time about 7 hours screen on and around one day+14hours idle, i guess it's include the screen on, when the pixel 3 xl was out i saw that the battery MEH was less than the 2 XL plus it doesn't had much more improvements that must to upgrade , now i see the 4 XL and feels the same , specialy when i read here about the battery times,

i wounder what is your recomendation about new device? is it the onePlus 7T pro? is it the pixel 4XL with the updates?? something else?

for example the 7T PRO have much bigger battery , 2 sim cards, but in the other hand the selfie camera is something that can be broke...so maybe the 7 pro?!

or again, something else,

Thank you
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] keaheng:
+Physical

-Oneplus is too heavy

-curvy screen, screen glared in front of sun light. Hard time to apply a screen protector.

-curvy back, does not feel good using with case.

+Software

-ram consumption is too high. 6gb varignt does not play good unless you use custom rom(AOSPA android).

-while OOS got praised by YouTubers but most devs hate them and jump to custom rom. You should know the reason.

-kernel source is not available on the day one unlike pixel device.

+Camera sucks ( gcam will fix but you have to test different 100 apks)

Etc
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] I7210I:
see these

actualy the problems for me is that the pixel 4XL battery is not such big (even compare to pixel 2 xl , 180 MEA),

two sims (not a big deal let's say)

Fast battery charging 30W VS Fast battery charging 18W

both of them have 6GB RAM so whats the difference?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
You compared the 7T. I believe the OP was taking about the 7T Pro. And it's 8GB RAM vs 6GB RAM.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] peoplesindian:
It all depends what you want in your phone. I had a 2XL and got the 7 Pro, and traded the 7 Pro for 4XL. For me, the 7 Pro battery and display were amazing, but I really missed the camera software from Pixels. The battery and display are better on the 7 Pro compared to 4XL.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] I7210I:
so as far as i read the 4XL is not perfect, i mean there is no finger print (well, will get a long) but the main thing is the battery that as you wrote in 7PRO is better,

on the other hand the camera is better in 4XL,

back than..at the time of the 2 XL it was easyer to decide to buy it, than the 3XL didn't make any big improvments, the battery was actualy the same ( i have till now 7 hours of screen), no big news back than, now the 4 XL is almost the same thing, it's even go back...battery is not so big jump than the 2 XL, no finger print , wide angle camera, even the charging is not the fastest among others, it's make the decision feels bad and not so easy, the pixel per inch is the same as 2XL.

even the galaxy S10 is at the above level, what is wrong here?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] peoplesindian:
It all depends what you want in a phone. I didn't buy the 4XL at launch for the same reasons as you:

No wide angle (didn't use it on the 7 Pro)

No fingerprint (face unlock is wayyyyyyyyy better)

Battery and no warp charge (the 4XL with EX Kernel lasts me the day)

If you want latest hardware specs, get the 7 Pro

If you want a solid camera and best software user experience, 4XL

This is just my opinion, we live in a great time right now. You have a lot of choices and just need to weigh the pros and cons. For me, I'll never doubt the stock Google experience.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] I7210I:
Thanks,

i have today 7 hours with stock rom ans stock kernel, is it will be the same at the 4XL or i need to make any modifications?(rom/kernel) for that?

about the camera, it is the same as the 2XL?

and why is the faceunlock is better than fingerprint? faceunlock is request camera..more battery
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Utini:
I get 8h SOT on stock ROM and believe a custom Kernel/ROM could even improve that.

Eventhough I get 8h SOT I ddecided to disable some features and apps... probably didn't help much but I feel somehow more reliefed now :D
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] I7210I:
the Soli is not working in all the world anyhow so maybe disabling that would give something,

any how , the camera in compare to pixel 2 xl is the same?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] peoplesindian:
It's a Pixel, of course it's not the same as 2XL, it's even better. If you have the 2XL, the 4XL will feel like a significant upgrade. Remember this is 2 years later, newer SoC, fresh Android 10, face unlock doesn't take up much more battery. Don't worry so much, just get the phone lol.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] I7210I:
the main compare should be to the onePlus 7T pro, in that case i think that the onePlus 7T pro will win i guess, but there is problem with the selfie camera- it's too scared when its fall down...

without that device i think that there is no compare to nothing?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] baiosss:
Pixel 4 XL has

1. better cameras

2. wireless charging (gimmick for some)

3. IP68 certification

4. Faster security and Android updates.

OnePlus 7 Pro has

1. Bigger screen, no bezels, no notches, full screen experience, better and brighter.

2. Fingerprint sensor that sometimes works perfect and sometimes doesn't work as expected.

3. Bigger battery.

4. OOS like stock Android but with more customisation.

I own both devices but I prefer Pixel 4 XL for the above mentioned reasons. Also I like it because the Android experience is better than 7 Pro which has many bugs. Oneplus 7 Pro it's too heavy and big which make it difficult for its portability.

Anyway, I like both smartphones for their pros.

also no led notification, AOD drains more battery
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] baiosss:
Aod and led notification neither OnePlus has.

You can disable aod in pixel 4 XL if you want to.

and how you will see each notification if it's important or not? you will need to open the screen?

at the 4XL there is no led ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] baiosss:
No both devices do not have led. OnePlus 7 Pro has edge lighting, like Samsung's, but it's too short. Both have rise to wake, tap to wake and 4xl has AOD.

Στάλθηκε από το Pixel 4 XL μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] I7210I:
so these option AOD in both of the devices drains more battery isn't it?

it's look that they have been taken from the 2XL the good stuff, and just remove it

and did you try these Notify Buddy?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] baiosss:
In Pixel 4 XL and other devices with AOD, yes, there is battery drain. OnePlus never implemented it cause of that, as they say. They're looking to find a solution about battery drainage.

For me, in my 4 XL I disabled idle lock screen (AOD) and enabled reach to check phone. Also I enabled lift to wake and have no problems with my battery at all.View attachment 4943533View attachment 4943535
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] I7210I:
it could be nice but the motion sense is not available in all countrys, so it's a bit problem to use it and it go back to the AOD because there is no other option as far as i see.

did you try the app at the link?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] baiosss:
No I don't use third party apps for this.

you can not use the reach to check phone if you disabled by google the SOLI?

Yes I think you can't. It's motion sense feature.

Στάλθηκε από το Pixel 4 XL μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] I7210I:
so it leaves me just the AOD = battery drain,

so i have minuses

- No fingerPrint (will get use to faceUnlock)

- No led notification - leaves the AOD only option = battery drain

- Battery - more than 2XL but less then others - will get use to it

- No real fast charge

it doesn't look like google made here the real improve, the 2XL is in daily usage looks more effective in terms of regular use, and i don't wrote about wide camera cause these is extra, just the daily usage that is dissapointing as from what i compare
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] baiosss:
If you have pixel 2 XL I don't think there is any major reason to update to 4 XL.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
You keep mentioning AOD like it's a huge battery drain when it's not. It's mostly off when it's in your pocket and if you do leave your phone on the desk with it on, it's very minimal use. Currenly today, I have 2 hours of Ambient Screen usage and only 1% used. Hardly a factor in battery life. The pro of seeing the time, weather, and app icons of notifications waiting for me to check out weigh that minimal lose in battery.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
You beat me to do, the battery drain for AOD is insignificant
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] I7210I:
i guess you not getting too much notifications , because AOD is actualy screen on, not all the screen but part from it, i have it with the 2XL and i saw back than the difference in battery usage with these, there is influance about screen on and off isn't it?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
I get lots of notifications from here, social media, personal and work emails, etc. Yes just the pixels that are lit are actually on as it's like that with any AMOLED screen. Black is off. Again it's very minimal and I had it on with the Pixel 2 XL as well. I did an idle battery test with it before I sold it and check the screenshot. That 13.5 hours of ambient display and only 5% battery on a 2 year old 2 XL. That was from the first day or two and then the rest I had it flipped over. And it was connected to WiFi and still getting notifications.

View attachment 4943623
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] I7210I:
interesting, so do you see any big or something that will motivate to change the 2XL to 4XL?

without using the motion sense

i remaind the minuses (for me) that i did found ti ll now:

- No fingerPrint (will get use to faceUnlock)

- No led notification - leaves the AOD only option = battery drain (something)

- Battery - more than 2XL but less then others - will get use to it

- No real fast charge
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] peoplesindian:
The screen is a big improvement from 2xl to 4xl

That 90hz screen :silly:
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] I7210I:
beside the 90hz? what else?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
- I don't miss the fingerprint sensor at all. If anything, my most used biometric security app is LastPass and it acknowledges faster because there's no repositioning my hands to touch a sensor.

- I prefer AOD ever since it's been around as it tells me more information than an LED

- My battery on the 2 XL was starting to show its age so I doubted it would be tolerable by the time of the 5 XL release.

- Fast charging is fast enough. I got into the habit of just topping off in 30-60 minute sessions with both the 2 XL and 4 XL. Would've been nice to cut that down to 15-30 minutes but not a deal breaker for me especially since I have a fast charger in my car.

The 90 Hz is very nice but not huge. It's really the better blacks (Just ever so slightly crushed at the lowest brightness) and overall colors versus the 2 XL. With the 2 XL, to stop the crushed blacks, brightness had to be somewhere over 30% which, to me, is too bright in pitch black situations. I compared both side by side in a pitch black room with brightness set to 0% and it's like night and day. Actual nits is pretty much the same but it's not the biggest of issues even with the bright Florida sun. Would've been nice if it was brighter though.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] I7210I:
i have to show the notifications in full mode for that AOD will work in 2XL , in led you don't need to do it ..

the 90hz is nice for games but not for daily use..

funny but same AOD in pixel 2 XL will say that it will increase the battery usage

what will improve the upgrade?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] I7210I:
how does the face unlock work without the Soli in countrys its not supported? or it uses the camera?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
That's a good question. My guess is you just don't have the screen automatically turning on when reaching for the phone. So basically you would have to turn on the screen by with power button, double tap to wake (I do that once in a while), or have raise to wake turned on.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] I7210I:
so there is good failure over here cause currently only 38 countrys allowedthe Soli, that mean that beside that countrys, many features of that device will not work - basic features like the open the screen and there is no fast option like the finger print instead of that.

it's a big failure in that case
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
It works like normal. It's the radar that isn't supported
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] I7210I:
so in that case the front camera will do the work? i guess it is slower than the radar and needs to start the camera
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
It's not the front camera for facial recognition. It's an actual IR blaster and sensor like the iPhone. Radar isn't use for facial recognition at all. It makes it's seem faster with reach to wake activating it before you lift the phone from a table. Out of the pocket, that's when I tap to wake the screen because the screen doesn't turn on.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] I7210I:
so basicly if the radar is not working in order to open the screen you have to tap it and than the face unlock opens it / it is together with the open screen, it's interest, when you use finger print for example you wake up the screen at the same time you scan the finger, while the face unlock is not working automaticly, instead you have to open the screen in order that to be work and second stage is after the screen is on the face recognision is unlock it if i understand correct,
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] wolfeyes30:
Yes. I use the tap feature only and its still fast unlocking the phone.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] I7210I:
i guess its not make easy life with the battery
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] I7210I:
here is my latest charging of the 2XL look at these 2 years phone 7:30 hours SOT , idle 1 day and almost 3 hours ( i had before even 10 hours but in that specific case i use full brightness now to drain the battery)

can it be that it iss more powerful than the new 4XL?View attachment 4944591View attachment 4944593
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
https://xdaforums.com/pixel-4-xl/review/screen-time-t3946925

I personally never got close to 10 hours SOT with the 2 XL and was more 7-8 hours SOT when it was brand new. With the 4 XL, my SOT is a 5-6 hours maybe 6.5 if I'm lucky but I definitely never hit 7. Yet in the linked thread, you'll find people who get some crazy amount of SOT and those who don't like myself.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] I7210I:
yes i saw it but they changed the stock kernel .

if we compare stock(mine never rooted and didnt change the kernel) to stock it is look like that there is no improve , maybe even the old is better if you got 5-6 SOT.

i'm realy try to find any key points to upgrade, and don't find those.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
If that's a deal breaker then you've made your choice already. Wait for the 5 XL. I still think you'll get good battery life and enjoy the 4 XL. It's not like the 2 XL was getting terribly slow for me but the 4 XL was better overall in daily use.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] I7210I:
yes i think that ( i can say on myself) is deal breaker, the bateery is the heart, if no power = no device.

so if i'm still getting good battery on my device and the new device is less than that or equal to that, i see no point to upgrade, i'm regular user not gamer and not youtuber and not facebooker, regular user that just want his device to hold on for minimum one day , and it is a problem if not.

the other gimmiks Soli, gestures, are not day to day usage, or not even in all countrys, so the main thing is the device i think.
