Thanks for the reply. I tried that command too, but ended with the same error.

Now, downloading the 11.0.5 Global Fastboot ROM since no 12.0.2 Fastboot available. My plan is to just delete first lines in .bat files of the ROM to avoid 'rollback protection' and flash via MiFlash before the battery goes zero. According to google, it seems flashing the full Fastboot ROM is the only solution :(

Wow, thank you so much for pointing this out!

I just had a close to two hour journey through all emotions after trying to restart my phone and suddenly ending up in a seemingly inescapable fastboot hell...

I've tried booting different recoveries, all failing with

FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error)

and was already at the point of giving up getting my system back, just trying to save my data if possible. Flashing seemed to work, but

fastboot reboot recovery

just threw me back into fastboot, which I assumed to be due to the phone rejecting the flashed recoveries just as it was rejecting them when I tried to boot them directly.

When I saw this comment I wondered whether Xiaomi implemented rebooting directly to the recovery differently (as it turns out, it doesn't seem to be standardized) and

fastboot oem reboot-recovery

worked perfectly! After reflashing my ROM from TWRP I was booted back up into my system with everything intact, as if nothing has happened. :)

Hello, as shared with the specific page https://xdaforums.com/z2-force/help/bought-bricked-xt1789-06-cheap-t4036047/page3#post83118467

my story is COMPLEX and now i have

-no usb debug mode (no adb)

-oem blocked blootloader

-cannot open unlock oem bootloader (because no usb debug mode)

-i have the LATEST ROM available (latest android 9)

-when i flash OFFICIAL LATEST ROM it takes it as "rollback" and refuse it (locked bootloader)

-i cannot flash NOTHING

- i only have bootloader

The motorola official tool cannot "match" / "recognize the type or whatnot and it wont help.

Motorola support refuse to help they told me its my fault ! (I did not do nothing to get to bootloop/bootloader).

Now i think i can solve it : by flashing any rom and opening bootloader without USB debug mode on.

How ? I want to BRICK IT !!! and in qualcomm mode 9008 i will flash the BLANKFLASH file (available).

Then OEM is unblocked, i will have ADB and flash WHATEVER rom i want in my xt1789-06 RETAIL (z2 force France).

My question here for this forum (general Q&A) : how do we BRICK a locked bootloader only access android smartphone? is there a magic command or process?

I tried unpluging in a middle of a flash rom but since flashing even latest official rom is blocked by bootloader => i cannot brick it.

Please tell me HOW to brick it, i take the risk ... i love this smartphone.

Thx.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] SeppGoPro:
Hi together,

I am wondering which benefits I can expect from rooting my device.

One thing that comes to my mind is having an option to use face unlock for older unlock APIs.

What do you guys think?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] jljtgr:
Tirade incoming...

I'm probably in the minority, but I won't buy a phone I cannot root. The idea that the phone that I paid $1000 for up front is under the control of other companies seems wrong to me. I have full control over my computers... my ISP doesn't tell me what I can run on it and can't force me to use their DNS; Microsoft doesn't tell me that I'm breaking a EULA by running admin programs; my bank's website doesn't refuse to load because I'm running a lot of browser extensions that can modify the page. Google says they respect that people want control over their phones but they also say they respect app creator's wanting to run on an unmodified device. I throw those companies to the wind and don't look back. If only Google would stop blocking access to things and requiring us to use root to gain them back. They give and take features almost constantly and it often feels like a losing battle.

Ideology aside, there are so many small things that can be done through rooting. The next best alternative is either awkward or non-existent. I could name them off, but each thing on their own is easily dismissable is about preference. But if I had to use a phone that had none of my modifications/tweaks, I would be fairly unhappy. I don't think you'll understand the difference until you're actually changing your phone significantly as a whole then have to consider going back. A lot of things you won't know you even wanted until you find that they're possible... and a lot of things you'll look at and not even care about, despite them being popular to other people. That's what rooting is to me. Choices and options... in a world where Apple and even Google think that less is more.

I think if you're willing to experiment and put a significant amount of time in doing so, you should dive in and find out what you like. But if you're on the ropes about it, then you might not get into it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] SeppGoPro:
To make that clear. I rooted every android phone I owned up to now. There has been always a thing that bothered me about the stock ROM.

But this time I feel like everything is working out of the box. (Except face unlock for ing, which sux)

I get your point and you are totally right. But I'm not sure if I want to change so much and having to update on my own and other things is to much work for me.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] MrMeeseeks:
I hear you. Rooting used to be fun and easy but it's more work than I want to deal with at this point.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] jljtgr:
It takes me longer the download the stock image to do updates with than it takes me to re-root the phone after the update. I wonder why it seems like a lot of work to you.

PS. My broadband ISP is slow....
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] SeppGoPro:
It takes more time, which you actively have to spend. It's not like ow there is an update. Ok install done.

You have to go through all steps. You have to e.g. change settings in build.prop again. Flash kernel or what ever.

One example with rooted and problems with apps I'm always unsure if it's due to root or due to the rom. Stuff like this.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] jljtgr:
I don't have to do either of those things. My build.prop changes are systemlessly handled by a Magisk module that just works as soon as I'm rooted again. YMMV.

I've spent more time writing in this thread than my monthly process takes. If you don't have that time, then fine. You've answered your own question?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] gianton:
I've rooted all my devices except the pixel ones. There's absolutely no need for me to root a pixel device, everything is working as I want out of the box. That's one reason that development for the pixel 4/xl is nearly non existent.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] salamdiab:
In my region the motion sense is avoid , so i need to get rooted to get it work , i need it to get faster of the face unlock
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
Google made it tough to get pay working on the phone with the last update. Doesn't bother me because I use my watch which works fine irregardless of whether the phone is rooted. Mine is rooted of course, no other method works as well as adaway for getting rid of ads and I'd do it for that alone but I also like doing little things like moving the clock back over to the right and other specific customization needs that are particular to my setup. To be honest I'd root the phone just cause I like to tinker and no root equals no tinker. No tinker equals bad. That's just me though, I get that some people want to turn it on and not fuss over it.

It is quite quick to flash the monthlies when you know what your doing, I think I have about 10 minutes into it if you count downloading the full image and getting a beer.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Vantskruv:
My only reason to root the Pixel 4XL is to have a more advanced battery management (i.e. using the ACC daemon with the app ACCA), which makes it possible to charge the telephone up to a certain level of percentage, at a set time (if you want), and also to limit the maximum charge current or voltage. Also, one of the features I like most is to only power the telephone with the charging cable, not using the energy from the battery.

In short, I want to have a longlife battery, hoping my telephone will last years to come...

If, and when, Google introduces this feature in the OS, I will unroot my telephone.

For curiosity, I noted that may Samsung tablet from work, has an option to limit the charge to 80%, the battery management feature feels very limited though, as you do no see that it really charges to 80%, and the other features mentioned above is missing.

The flaw of rooting the telephone is that currently Google Pay does not work, and the security may be less.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] neo_lithic3K:
I think that if you've never had root, then you probably wouldn't know what you're missing. This is highly subjective of course, but the following are what I use root for:

1) Titanium Backup / Swift Backup - backup and restore apps with my data. Easy to restore apps back to the my original settings. Especially useful with games that don't back up to a cloud.

2) EdXposed modules - Customize all sorts of things: eg add navigation button shortcuts, center clock, install gravitybox, allow screenshot even if app doesn't allow it, install fingerface (use face to unlock apps even if app doesn't support face unlock), unlink ringer and notification, install firewall, block ads (via vpn), block youtube ads, block phone calls from prefixes eg all numbers that start with 800, etc

Hey guys/gals,

I am having a problem. I installed a version of Voice Command that comes with an addition configuration program called BT Voice Command Config by XCSdM and was having trouble with my car's BT hands free so I played around with the registry settings with no avail...

So, I uninstalled the BT Voice Commander that included the XCSdM config and reinstalled a newer 1.6 cab I found but this cab didn't create any of the VoiceCommand registry entries for Bluetooth...

Should I attempt to create those registry entries? Am I missing something?

I used to get notifications sounds play in my bluetooth headphones (Sony WH-1000XM2). Unlike some this is exactly what I want when listening to music and podcasts.

However, all I now get is the vibration of the notification coming in and no sound at all.

I have reset the phone and played with all sorts but to be honest there isn't a lot in Settings that you can do. Yes, all the relevant sounds are set in notifications and Do not Disturb isn't on etc.

I know it's the Media stream that is the problem as I can hear incoming calls and text notifications.

This is so bloody annoying and I can't figure why it should not work now. I feel I've done something stupid but can't see what.

i know my mistake now. i have downloaded an old firmware:eek:

Link for the Picture
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] deadbrise:
Hi, this error appears due to the fact that in the guide for installing magisk there is an old link to the latest system image, and since you now have the latest version of the system, you are simply flashing an older kernel to a newer system, today you also encountered this problem, the decision is banal.

First, you need to download the latest image on the official website of the manufacturer (you have it installed at the moment), get the kernel from this image and flash it through the fastboot, then patch this kernel image in the magisk, and only after that flash the patched kernel. I will slightly simplify your task at the moment, but after the next update you will have to do all the steps yourself.

ust flash this image through the fastboot in boot slot. patched boot.img
