it is successful, but on reboot it goes to an endless bootloop. i have tried ota, factory images...flashing twrp flashing rom. only reboots when trying to go into system. sometimes it will bootloop from twrp, but never from stock recovery or fastboot
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MozzartIsAwesome:
Ah, lucky You!

So if i understand: You did exactly what tutorial says, gave up, sideloaded stock ROM and somehow it worked out, right?

I'm trying to do it rn but im sceptical; tried few times months ago with no result.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Letitride:
Yes, pretty much as you said & what I wrote. I picked up the OG Pixel (not XL) 1st gen on Swappa last week for $65+tax, read thru & searched all the previous guides, instructions & feedbacks - installed the latest ADB, Google drivers (current) and basically threw the towels in already. Trying to go backtrack & re-trace all the steps, failed visuals ... I've done the numerous reboot, factory reset & full wipe, all without connecting to a Google account or WiFi, without a nano sim. Pretty positive (99%) that in my final sideload, just didn't uninstall the android phone apk as others "instructed" - and then gone thru the routine setup with LOS (no Magisk, no custom kernel - just OG's arm64 pico for Android 10 ... watched Play Store to update, reinstall a minimal # of Apps to keep the device's storage as free as I wanted it to be.

On a hunch, I checked it later that evening and woohoo, the OEM unlock button was no longer greyed out - so, I ADB reboot to bootloader, check to make sure fastboot can access and issued the command to unlock ... watched it reset & wipe again.

Once I saw the hardware was coded for the Verizon variant, I was disappointed and really wasn't expecting the efforts to payoff & work ... somehow, it did and luckily, made screenshots for my records. Our Pixel 3a and 3a XL are both unlocked, not VZ locked with the bootloader so I knew the difference. Now, I got 6+ months to upload some of the precious, old family pictures for folks that are no longer ... in original quality to cloud storage at Google, it's wonderful - along with offline backup storage.

If you feel like giving it a try again, go ahead & backup things first, reset and bump everything along - hopefully, you get a chance unlike several months ago. Good luck !!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MozzartIsAwesome:
I would try to root XL again but i have to figure out how to backup actual setup without Google or with minial use of 3rd apks.

Thanks for saying that you uninstalled android phone apk, maybe it's a good way to start someday. Maybe i would buy second VZW locked cuz im too lazy to backup with apks my stuff or configure phone100000th time :)

I uninstalled most google stuff with ADB and im okay but geeez i miss magisk etc.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] djared704:
Sorry to get back to this thread so late. From looking at your screenshots, you're running QP1A.191005.007.A3, latest Android 10 (obviously?), however from what I remember, VZW pixels run QP1A.191005.007.A1, and even if they do run A3, it still shows October patch regardless (unlocked or VZW). You should try a CID check to see if it actually is a vzw device. Also unlock procedure has been extremely finnicky. There have been VZW devices in the past that were free to be unlocked and unlocked devices that are still stuck to this day.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Letitride:
Good & interesting info/details - I tried to adb command to pull up the CID but not working. With the bootloader - it shown the device as being a Verizon variant "PVT" - maybe it wasn't originally used but an unlocked Google edition, used on VZ and however, updated/flashed when patches were pushed out to the previous owner/user ... before I brought it as a pre-owned one, in surprising good, almost mint condition - I grade it 8.5 or 9 out of a 10 score. Battery life is around 75% now, not bad for being 5 to 6 years old. The OEM unlocked option was definitely greyed out initially, now I'm just happy that I got it unlocked and on a non-stock rom, debloated further with mimial apps running.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nathankferguson:
I'm sure most people have moved on by now for the Pixel, but has anyone heard of any successful attempts to OEM unlock recently on VZW Pixel? I've tried every method in this thread and others on XDA and everywhere else I can find online and nothing has worked so far. Any news/updates would be awesome.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nathankferguson:
Any news to this? Got a Pixel I'm using for photos storage, works great but would love to bootloader unlock (verizon variant). I've read all the threads all the way through and doesn't look like there is a current method other than some previous paid chinese guy to unlock remotely.

Tried previous unlocking processes 2-3 times, and have tried the process @Letitride mentioned but no success after waiting several hours.

[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] nik1234567:
Most of us are aware that this device is running a 32-bit kernel on top of a 64-bit SoC.

After fiddling around with porting linux potentially to this phone (will come out once i manage to make something that ACTUALLY works), I found out that the Xiaomi 8A uses the EXACT same SoC (SDM439) and has a 64-bit kernel. Hmmm, maybe I can get 64-bit going on this phone I thought.

So what I did essentially was take a 8A kernel (that works) and add back the 7A defconfig changes.

I was sure it had no chance to work, but I tried it anyway.

It boots into Android without any issue... lmao

Since this board is pretty restrictive when it comes to attachments, I had no other choice but to upload to google drive.

Here's the link: [Outdated, look here instead -> https://xdaforums.com/redmi-7a/development/64-bit-redmi-7a-t4145225]

Update: Everything works now, except some pretty minor bugs here and there.

Wow... How interesting, I hope people can work something out of this, thanks
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] nik1234567:
Turns out that the touch screen drivers are broken. Currently trying the opposite, building a 7A kernel using a "64-bit" defconfig, with the obvious changes so it compiles.
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] markchristianlacap:
Wow !!! waiting for more update
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] nik1234567:
Quick update: The stock kernel cannot compile with the ARM64 config. Will have to resort back to the 8A kernel for this.

Only Wi-Fi left.
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] nik1234567:

Merging it into the repository just like the audio driver might yield results.

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Mike Warren:
I am considering Putting Lineage OS on my S9+ but am unsure of a few things.

I have read many threads on the subject and see that there are a number of things that can go wrong. Unfortunately, the answers use many abbreviations which means I have no idea what they are talking about. Also they talk about flashing the stock firmware to get the camera working. This seems to be different to the OS.

I did successfully install CyanogenMod on my Galaxy S2 and was very happy with it. I'm particularly unhappy with the direction of Samsung's updates. Every new update seems to break something else I use regularly.

My alternative to installing Lineage OS is to downgrade to Android 9, but remembering how snappy and clean CyanogenMod was on my S2 I'd certainly prefer Lineage as long as key functions work.

With that in mind, here are my questions:

1/ Can the Bixby button be configured to operate the flashlight without unlocking the phone? I currently have an app that does that, although it's a little unreliable and sometimes takes 3 presses.

2/ If for some reason I don't like Lineage, is it reasonably easy to go back to a stock OS? (My phone is no longer under warranty.)

3/ I understand the camera does not work as well. Is this a problem with basic picture quality or is it just some of the more advance features that are missing?

4/ Is Lineage OS compatible with Google Daydream? Samsung removed Daydream support with the Android 10 update and this is the main reason I want to go to the effort of changing the OS on my phone.

5/ Is star2lite the correct version of Lineage for my phone, SM-G965F?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
5 yes. See supported model

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Mike Warren:
Thanks for your reply.

I couldn't find any mention of the Bixby button in that thread, but installed Lineage anyway. So far I have not had any luck getting access to the Bixby button. I've tried Bxactions and Button Remapper. BxActions requires Bixby on the device and seems to work by detecting Bixby starting, so that's not a solution. Button remapper looks promising, but refuses to activate. I just get in a loop of being told to run the PC software. Everything looks OK, but when I come out of the setting it's still switched off.

As for Daydream, it runs but looks like at a very low frame rate. I tried both reduce blur and reduce flicker, but both are not pleasant to use. Also, Skybox video player doesn't work at all. It starts and connects, but just presents a blank display.

As an experiment I tried to use Odin go back to a stock Samsung Android 9, but the boot loader is locked at 10 so I guess I can't do that either.

Looks like a phone I originally chose because of its good VR support is just going to be a basic device. Not having the torch on the Bixby button is something i'm going to sorely miss. I use the torch many times a day for work and not having to unlock the phone was great.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:

However, when I look at it on a google photos app it shows only as a 0,7 MP photo. These photos also upload to the Google photos cloud as 0,7 MP which is unusable.

Hi, I have mi note 10 pro, currently on global 11.1.3.0 (stable, no root) since ota about a week ago. I have started getting an issue where wi-fi randomly stops communicating with my router (5g network) and I have to turn wifi off and on to get it working.

Router is fine as no other devices have this problem, I have rebooted router and assigned static ip, to no avail. I have tried a factory reset on the phone and also tried all settings relating to wi-fi on the phone that I can find including ones in developer options but problem persists.

Was just wondering if anybody else is having this issue or has a fix, thanks in advance.

Hello, you could tell us you router brand, model, channel, etc. I have a Mi Note 10 Pro and I havent observed a problem (apart from the max throughput being slow, sway lower than what I have with a Mi 9T Pro).

noticed the same 2-3x times on the LITE.

the wifi icon is still active and it tells me, that iam connected.

but theres no traffic anymore. websites dont open or anthing else is online.

after wifi turn off/on, it works again.

it was on a tp-link router with 5ghz.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] rosso22:
Yes that's the same issue I have, after two days messing with my router settings and reflashing it, and testing with no difference, I deleted the network on phone and re added it and it seems to have sorted its self out for now.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] rosso22:
No didn't work after all, started doing it again, going to try 2g wi-fi network for awhile and see if it is only 5g related.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] rosso22:
Yeah this is definitely an issue with the phone, 2g network works fine. Have also just discovered that when the traffic stops on my 5g network and I go into wi-fi settings, the phone can no longer see any other networks available, including my 2g network and all neighbouring networks, it still shows the 5g network its connected to but not transmitting to. As soon as I turn wi-fi off and on all the available networks appear again, this must be an update issue as was fine before last update.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to send a bug report to developers?

[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] DeepAnger:
It would be a way to test wifi only with the least possible other things that could interfere (I was thinking of bluetooth and auto switching from wifi to LTE data). Maybe you could test for just a few hours or put your SIMs in another phone temporarily.

Ok I see, but not sure that would be the problem, as I always have Bluetooth off and data off and get the problem, will try to test on airplane mode late at night, as no spare phone, just a pain as some times the issues happens within a few minutes of selecting 5g network and some times takes a few hours! So might take a while to test properly, but will give it a go, thanks

[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] rdsubhas:
I had the same problem with Android 10 on many different phones, and I discovered the following fix which works reliably.

Nearly all routers use a "combined" mode where they use the same Wifi SSID for both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, and the device can pick which one it connects on. This is usually good on most devices, phones, laptops, Macbooks, smart TVs, etc. But only on Android 10 phones I've found that the device gets confused. It starts in 2.4Ghz mode and midway kind of forgets about it and switches the same WiFi connection to 5Ghz mode (or vice versa). Traffic simply appears to hang up with no packet reply – because the phone is suddenly expecting response in the newly switched band, whereas router is still assuming connection on the other band. I believe it has something to do with the Intelligent Wifi hotspot selection feature in Android 10. Also I've seen that Android 10 in many cases defaults to the lower bandwidth 2.4Ghz band rather than the higher bandwidth 5Ghz connection, which makes bandwidth slower.

The simple fix is to login to your router, and configure a different SSID for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. All routers let you do this. So you'd call 2.4Ghz SSID as, say, "MySSID" and the 5Ghz SSID as "MySSID5G". Connect your device to the 5G band, and everything is reliable and probably faster than before since your phone is no longer connecting to the slower 2.4Ghz band!
