Yes I disabled automatic updates. It didn't do it automatically, I clicked the check for update button. Normally when I do that it says there's a download available and then I know to check online for the flash file. This time it updated without stopping.

It installed the OTA for me too, now I'm afraid to restart my phone.

I would flash Magisk again before you restart.

I still can't get my phone rooted. I'm not sure what's going on. I wonder if other people have been able to successfully root the March update.
[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] AdriK:
I successfully rooted the March update, using the boot.img method.

I rooted with boot.img method, as well
[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spookymyo:
I got it rooted. It ended up taking a factory reset. It must have been some file interfering with the process. Once I reset my phone the rooting process went without incident.
[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] SolarPlexus:
As I'm searching for a more Phone based update wy, I'm thinking about to use maybe the Implemented OTA Process, but download the OTA-File manually... But for that We must know,how the OTA process is working. Did someone know:

- Where the update stores the download fine (I found a OTA and a OTA_Packge directory in the /Data/ folder)

- is there maybe a setting or information which must be injected somewhere (maybe a txt file)

- after that the ota update could then maybe started by hand

Has someone informations on that? If maybe someone where the ota still works and stil has root could check the files and places?
[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] aadithpm:
I unlocked the bootloader, sideloaded the August 2020 OTA and flashed the patched boot image. Kept bootlooping, then I restored to the original, booted in, installed Magisk Manager and then flashed the patched image again. Just leaving this here in case it helps someone.
[Android Head-Units] stevey500:
I am no stranger to Android in a car, I have done custom tablet installs in cars, (back in 2012 with Timur's custom cyanogenmod rom), custom car computers (roadrunner, centrafuse), etc.

Last year, I decided to give one of these neat looking Chinese head units a shot, I went with the Eonon double-din model with the PX5 processor, 4gb ram, 32gb rom with DSP audio chip. Out of the box and installing, the software wasn't terrible but borderline silly. The DSP audio control app was new to these units so I forgave some of the funky terminology and adjustments that were available in there, it was a far cry from adjustments one would find on a cheaper dedicated DSP unit. The performance was okay until summer rolled around and I had to tear the head unit apart and install my own heatsink and fan to the processing module board, this resolved that. The cheap mmc memory was a limiting factor of its performance in heavier apps like Google Maps, otherwise. Wifi performance was borderline trash. The extremely cheap and laughable wifi chipset barely handled 1.5-2Mbps of data transfer when downloading a Spotify library to the SD card. I even attempted to unsolder and replace the cheap antenna with my own higher end antenna but this was no solution to the very cheap and barely functional wireless module. Digging into the rom to find out that it's only been compiled for two equally bad wireless adapters, I gave up trying to make the wifi work any better. My unit also always produced processor noise out of the speakers when it was quiet in the car, sounded like onboard audio from cheap PC motherboards; this happened out of the amplified speaker outputs and the RCA outputs. I have since sold that car, I have a new car and would love to try again if it's even worth it.

I am not here to bash on these head units, I really WANT to see them improve. I would love to get my hands on one with more premium hardware, better working networking, worked out bugs, smarter display dimming control (maybe even a few extra cents of an ambient light sensor), audio DSP controls that are actually awesome, proper heatsink for included processor, etc. Do these exist? It's hard to find them in the sea of different brand names and Engrish website listings.

Any input on this would be so helpful to myself and many others.
[Android Head-Units] velocity4:
I think you’ll find that they all suck in one way or another. If they were to be of total quality they would be $1500 or more. Think about the use case though, NO ONE else is making custom canbus integrated units that fit inside modern cars which no longer conform to single/double DIN form factors. I don’t think at the price points most of these units are that quality and functionality will be improved.
[Android Head-Units] Zap!:
I've been using Android head units since around 2013 or so, when they had resistive touchscreens lol. While they still have a lot to improve on, I must say that they've come a long, long way. There's only really three features that I want to see, and one of those the 2013 ones all had:

1) For the love of God, there was no need to take away iPod support. Some of us still have an iPod. It's great to have in a car to play your music. Much better than putting it on SD cards, because I like the playlists. Bring it back!

2) Resolution. 800x480 is roughly as best at it gets for these guys. Although I'm greedy and want 4k, at least give me 1080p!

3) Blu-ray support. Come on already, it's been out for 14 years!
[Android Head-Units] Paulska:
I am also interested in this question, I had the atoto a6 pro before I sold the car. For a quad core it felt slow.

Is there any unit out there besides joying with proper lte support? Joying does not support att/Rogers/Fido lte frequencies. Except band 7.

I've seen on the forums that the xtrons won't even take a 4g dongle and work in mobile connection mode and also they have an underpowered USB port, 250mA or something . Where standard is 500mA.

Anything out there with North American frequencies?
[Android Head-Units] ojuniour:
first point...fine I get it..

second point:rolleyes: 4K???????

third point..ok you are trolling..
[Android Head-Units] stevey500:
I appreciate the few replies here.

I for one am hoping for the most subtle and cost effective improvements that make the experience of one of these in the dash feel like a better product. Top changes I'd like to see:

Display with high NITS, defeat the bright sunlight. Ability to see the content REALLY WELL comes before ultra-high resolution. As long as I can't count the pixels from the driver seat, I'm not going to knock on the resolution.

Clean audio output, some of these produce noise like crazy when listening at quiet volumes, you can hear internal processes coming through the speakers like onboard audio of cheap PC motherboards.

DSP controls that make sense- timing controls that conform to other DSP audio controls of all other typical DSP audio products, the interface is goofy although the chip being used is quite powerful but I don't believe the writers of the software interface completely understand what it should be doing.

Automatic dimming displays. A tiny ambient light value sensor hidden in the glass or plastic fascia and android's own built in software solutions will allow automatic brightness control of the display so that when you're sitting in your car at night without the headlights turned on, the screen doesn't bake your eyeballs out or when your car has automatic headlights and they turn on early before the sun goes down and your screen goes so dark you can't see it. This is a simple solution and I hope they resolve it.

Custom fully integrated units such as the one we put in our 2013 Mini Cooper Countryman S model needs to be worked on more before shoving them out the door. $600 gets us a head unit that looks nice in the dash but the integration of retained door chimes/warning sounds/blinker signal indicator sounds is the most absolute rubbish thing, ever. Would gladly spend closer to $1000 US for something that is more refined.

A home screen that doesn't suck. Solid integration with FM tuner controls, common media player apps, etc in the home screen would be great to see. A home screen that works good enough to the point that we don't have to fish the play store to make it better would be killer.
[Android Head-Units] stevey500:
It’s been a short while, anyone got any updates on android head units that don’t suck?
[Android Head-Units] Zap!:
1) Thanks! There has to be a way to hack it back.

2) I was joking about 4k, but I want 1080p

3) Not trolling, I have quite a few Blu-ray disks and would like to be able to view them in the car.

My power button broke, and i did not think through the repercussions before my phone died.

So, unable to turn my phone back on without a working power button, i was able to find someone to repair the power button. But when it turned back on i get a black screen that says

"Bootloader Logs" "No bootable A/B slot"

I have searched a decent amount and have not been able to get a fastboot to work. When i connect the phone to my computer, it does not seem to be recognized. Is my phone completely busted or can it be saved?

If it can be saved - I'd be happy to pay for services if folks know of people in MA/NH who do this work. Or i can attempt to do it myself if some explains it simply. (i'm not technology illiterate, but have never been one to even try to unlock or bootload a phone, i'll basically be the elderly family relative amazed that you just taught me ctl+c and ctl+v if i can manage to save this phone)

It has been displayed occasionally until now, but it is now displayed every time in Open beta 5. This is shown on the lock screen as well as unspecified apps.For example, Nova Launcher. Also, this will only be displayed for a few seconds, not permanently. Since it is not reflected in the screenshot, it was drawn and reproduced. It's black for clarity, but it's actually white and smaller.

Is there a way to remove this?

I don't know the cause, but it was resolved. What was displayed in the four corners was the trigger (?) Of Google Assistant.

[Moto Z3 Play Questions & Answers] Mcdan333:
I am currently on PPWS29.183-29-1-9. I did have root (Magisk) and unlocked bootloader, but I did a factory reset and re-locked the bootloader. My device keeps *trying* to take the OTA to PPWS29.183-29-1-12, but it keeps failing with the notification "Software update unsuccessful - Your Moto Z3 Play couldn't update. No changes were made."

I'm getting a logcat from the OtaApp which says (among many other things):

03-02 17:05:25.842 12616 20764 D OtaApp : UpdaterEngineHelper:applyPayload, failed to apply payloadjava.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

I also get this message on every boot: "Your device has loaded a different operating system.", which is different than the bootloader unlocked message about operating system can't be verified (I forget the exact wording).

Any ideas how I can get back on track to take this (and future) OTAs?
[Moto Z3 Play Questions & Answers] FoxyLove33:
Bootloader is a bit of code that tells your device's operating system how to boot up. Re-locking a bootloader will ensure that the device will only boot to Motorola signed and provided Android Images.

To relock the bootloader, you must reflash a Motorola signed software image to your device, or send it in to a Motorola service center to get reflashed.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] el80ne:
TWRP is on slot B but not slot A. I can only reboot to system from TWRP when I've got in on Slot A so my ROM seems to be on A,

But from TWRP I can't see the storage device, it says 0MB. It won't let me mount. From what I gather, this is because it's failing to decrypt the device from TWRP? I trying resetting my pin but it didn't work.

I'm trying to figure out how to root my slot A image that doesn't seem to be rooted anymore after an update. How can I get TWRP from Slot B to see the device?

I'm a bit confused about the whole A/B images. What is the function of having two images, besides one being the backup?

Thanks for any suggestions anyone might have.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
So it sounds like slot A is booting to OS (and the updated OS version)?

My suggestion would be to: on slot A, fastboot boot TWRP img, and flash TWRP installer zip again. Then (still booted TWRP) flash Magisk.

Make sure it is a recent version TWRP (latest is unofficial version -76), as it seems that some of the data partition issues are related to using old TWRP.

Yeah, the A/B partition scheme was new to me for this device as well (and lots of other folks).

The main purpose is to have what Google calls "seamless updates". Where on a stock device, it is just installing the update in the background and you can still use the phone as it updates. Then once the update is complete, just reboot, and you are on the new OS version. And yes, if something goes wrong, it still has the other (not updated) slot to fall back to. The following xda article is a good read, and explains the basic premise of A/B partitions:

https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...ess-updates-affect-custom-development-on-xda/

The A/B partitions do makes things more complicated when modifying/rooting, etc. But there is a pretty easy way to do an OTA update on this phone, and keep TWRP/root. But let's get the current situation fixed up, before I confuse you with other scenarios.
