Edit: Suggestion: Re-Read #9.B.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] kmandel:
The toggle in Developer Options "Automatic System Updates, Apply updates when device restarts", refers to running the update automatically, not keeping Google from downloading the OTA either automatically or with a poll. I've always had the toggle as off.

As 9B says the toggle is "so it won’t install OTAs without your acknowledgement"

In the Months before December, and in January the OTA was auto downloaded and I had the option of installing it then, or later. I would just follow 9B at that point. This involves invoking "Settings → System → System Update" on the already downloaded OTA, but not letting it reboot until magisk does its magic.

On your other point, the factory image site has both the full system images and the OTAs. However, its not clear to me how I would trigger the manually downloaded OTA in the same way that "Settings → System → System Update" does with the auto/polled OTA downloaded by Google.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
There is another thread on this were many if us are having the same issue while rooted. It seems Google is checking for root before it downloads now. And if you fail that check it isn't offered again. What I did this month was the Monday afternoon that it was released I unrooted, did not reboot and then manually checked for the update. It pulled 8t and applied....then I rerooted in Magisk to the other slot.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] spotmark:
Not trying to be a wise guy, but if you know how to sideload and root, why not just do it? Is it worth waiting weeks just to save yourself ten minutes?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Homeboy76:
My intention is to help not get into an argument concerning the specifics of #9.B.

If my response gave that impression, please accept my apology.

I edited my original post because of the A/B Devices portion of the instructions (#9.B.). The Pixel 3 XL is an A/B device.

In your original post, I belive you wanted to update the Pixel 3 XL firmware via OTA and keep root. I pointed you to a thread that provides a link to instructions to accomplish that (Update the Pixel 3 XL firmware via OTA and keep root) that was written by the developer of Magisk (topjohnwu).

You could do #4 'keep data' to install the factory image. Then do #9.A. to reroot. I only takes a few minutes.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] kmandel:
Thanks, thats what I was guessing, that it wouldn't download if it knew I was rooted. I wonder if there is a way to hide root from their check, unrooting is a bit speculative since there isn't a trivial way back if they don't download.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] kmandel:
Because its error prone. As far as I know there is no Android 10 Twrp for Pixel 3, and no reroot option other than 9B. The other route patching the boot img just seems messy .
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
One point I may not have been clear on. Once you fail this new check for a month you are done until next month. It won't try again.

If you don't pull the update you can reroot right away with Magisk with the Direct Install method since you have not rebooted. Not ideal but not the end of the world.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] spotmark:
If you know how to ADB and fastboot, you don't need TWRP. The most usual reason for error is user error. Even then it's rare to brick a phone. Worst outcome is you lose your data and have to set your phone back up.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catass:
Hi,

I'm using a Pixel 3 XL on a Magisk rooted Android 10 system.

I am trying to get YouTube Vanced to open without getting the "app keeps closing" error.

I believe it is because I don't have microG installed and am having a hard time with search looking for a way to download it on my system.

I've tried using search but the results just leave me confused, could someone please clarify this for me?

EDIT: Do I need to have TWRP to install microg? Because TWRP obviously isn't available for Android 10 yet...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
First off YouTube vanced works without microG

MicroG is only needed to login to google in the vanced app.

I'm also pretty sure you don't have to be rooted or have TWRP to install it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Al765436:
There's different versions of yt. vanced make sure you have the one that compatible with your GPU
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catass:
Ok so how do I install it and where can I find the downloads for the available versions of GPUs?

When I try to install it from the Chrome downloads folder it just says "Can't open file".

When I try to use SAI, it installs but doesn't make an icon to tap on to open the app. I have done this both with YouTube original installed and uninstalled and get the same results.

EDIT: Correction. Now when I use SAI to try and install the YT Vanced apk I downloaded from vanced.app, I get an error box saying "File doesn't have any certificates".

What does this mean and how do I fix it?

2nd EDIT: When I install the Non-Rooted apk from vanced.app it worked perfectly. DO I really have YouTube Vanced now since I installed the non-rooted apk?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Ujjwal 22:
Hi! So my brother broke his oneplus 3t.

The phone had a broken screen but working screen for 2 weeks.

I did warn him to make a backup but he didn't.

So...now the screen is not working entirely.

Can only see the charging led while charging and can switch the phone on and off.

Need to recover the data.

It won't connect as anything in laptop.

Just charges when plugged in.

Help!
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] pitrus-:
Why not just buy a new screen? It's dead simple to swap, I've done it two times on my phones. Took like 5 minutes all in all.

Also is normal that it only charges when connecting, you have to change to data mode through touch on screen to get access to the phone, this is a security feature.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Ujjwal 22:
Actually i got him poco x2 just before this broke...also we are under lockdown due to corona virus....also...he just need the data... doesn't want the phone...

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] cokesucker:
.

I replaced my broken screen a few months ago and having issues with touch freezing occasionally, temporary fix is to lock and unlock. Also adaptive display doesn't work. The old Caseium kernel makes it a little better.

What's your setup? Rom+kernel etc.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] pitrus-:
Sounds like you got a semi borked replacement screen. I would return it and ask for a replacement.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] cokesucker:
Yeah, got it replaced in a shady area in my town for $55 big mistake Iol. But it's too late now, just want it a little usable as second phone since I bought a pocoF1.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] yahya69:
Actually I find opening the 3T anything but simple, tried for hours, ended up at a phone repair store, where the got it opened in no time, but for a layperson like me this is definity a procedure where you can easily break your screen if it isn't broken already

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] mishufac:
Hello guys!

As the title says : can you change CSC and get rid of the carrier bloatware without losing data?

If yes, how do you do? Do i need to reflash via odin? The csc file I currently use supports both KOO("international") and KTC(branded firmware). After the csc change, do i need to fatory reset in order fot the bloatware to disappear?

And another question:

Did anyone changed the CSC on an Korean device? I have an sd G986N device which came with KTC branded firmware,I suppose because it was activated with an KT sim card. After CSC change, do I still need to activate the device with an Korean sim card?

On the samkey website, it says that it's not supported. I read somewhere on the s20 forums (i forgot where) that someone did it. My question is how? I also found that ChimeraTool supports csc change for G986, but i never used.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] west2cool:
Yes you can change csc using Samkey. Once you change the csc the phone will automatically restart and all the bloatware from KTC should disappear. I suspect you don't to activate the handset again as it has already been unlocked and activated using the IMEI. Samkey doesn't state that it supports all model of S20 Ultra but it does work as I change my G9880 csc using it.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] mishufac:
Thank you for your answer. I just changed it. It's strange how it says that it's not supported but it works.

If anyone needs a 1 samkey credit, pm me and i'll send you the credentials for free.

I'm not new to Samsung but i am new to using phone from another region.

I'm in Sweden and first had S20+ that i bought directly from Samsung and of course it was the exynos G986B version and i was super disappointed with it mostly due to horrendous battery time so i returned that phone and instead bout a snapdragon Kong Kong version and battery is WAY better.

My question is, is it possible to change CSC to for example euro version or is it impossible due to there not being a snapdragon phone for eu market?

My phone is a G9860.

I still don't think it's worth ruining the camera lens.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] surur:
The camera lens is bellow the cover, so you are not ruining it, just exposing it. Also the cover comes out without permanent damage, so you can always glue it back in again.

It makes a dramatic difference to picture quality - no more blurry pictures.

Here's an example picture with the lens cover off.

Surur
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] moegdaog:
this is a very stupid idea..to remove the lens glass that not onlyprotects your camera lens, but also helps avoid dust accumulating inside your camera...why do this for a very miniscul improvement....not only do u void ur manufacturer one year warrenty but also any chance of getting a warrenty/insurance with att or tmobile which do give insurance on their phones(even though they dont carry the phone u could trick them into thinking its a wing...possibley then making them replace your tilt with a tytn iV or touch pro if they get it...POSSIBLEY)

seriously..just stick to the fixes like nadavis camera fix, the resoluton and shutteroff tricks and whatever else fixes people have come out with cuz they dont void your warrenty...and trust me the drivers will come sooner or later. If not from HTC it will be developed by another brilliant soul from the touch pros drivers or another new devices drivers some how or some other way...just be patient fella.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Boinng:
It's not really anything to do with driver of software fixes, there is a real problem with the hardware design in that interior dust and exterior smears accumulate on that little window and ruin perfectly good pictures. I'm not convinced that removing the window is the best answer, but it does at least bring a clear improvement that no amount of software tweaking ever will.

What's really needed is a bit of foam or something inside to at least keep the dust out. I might look into that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Macgyvec3:
Just take the battery cover off when you want to take a picture. Seems a lot easier to me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Boinng:
Really? I always find it's really difficult to actually get that cover off, and that's probably for the best too - I wouldn't want to make it loose and rattly.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] surur:
Ive tried taking the battery cover off for a while. It has the same effect, but of course:

a) you look pretty weird taking pictures with your battery cover off.

b) it takes some time to do, meaning you cant take spontaneous pictures.

c) I feel the battery may fall out when doing doing this.

I think it may be a good idea to put a small foam ring around the hole to keep dust out, but so far its not been a gigantic issue. Remember the dust cant possibly get under the screen, as its a separate assembly to the base where the camera is, so a bit of dust is not necessarily a big deal.

Surur
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] k4ever:
Clean the cover

Why not just clean the cover? I got some Meguiar's PlastX clear plastic cleaner and spent 5 minutes cleaning the cover. I then wiped the cover down with a lens cleaning wipe. The whole process took about 7 minutes. I took a picture with the cover off (the whole back cover) and with the cover on after cleaning. They look exactly the same.

[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] Liquer:
Hi all,

I'm just thinking of buying the Mi Note 10 Pro, because of its battery and camera. I use phone camera mainly (but not only) for video recording (I record some youtube videos from time to time (nothing really complex, vlogs, gameplays and technology reviews), and because of this I use a lot manual controls for white balance, focus and exposure. Right now I'm using a P20 Pro with Filmic pro app, which is working well, but I was thinking on update it, and since the Mi Note 10 Pro has such a great battery and camera (as DxOMark reviewed), as well as good price, I though it could be my update.

But before buying I need to now if there is any possibility of using manual controls over video recording on this device with the stock camera app in global rom, or if it is compatible with FiLMiC Pro app (at least with the main and selfie sensors, which will be my common use), or if there is any other way to achieve this on this device (maybe GCam?).

Will really appreciate any help on solving this doubts, as are my only doubts before buying it.

Thanks!
