[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dewydewy:
um one weird question I have to say about the deal at www.expansys.ca, is the price of HTC Touch Pro.

I am in Canada so I go to their expansys.ca to check out Raphael. I get a pricing list ranged from CDN$1104.99 minimum to CDN$1124.99 maximum. But I also occasionally check their foreign site which is http://www.expansys.cn/ (indicated on their expansys.ca homepage). The fair price I got is about ONLY CDN$857 by using the current exchange rate. If we are gonna compare the two different minimum prices of raphael, there might be a HUGE $200 PLUS bucks gap.

I am quite confused about the price now.

Hi everyone!

Quick question: does enabling OEM Unlock in developer options can drain battery?

No, it's just for fastboot, but I don't recommend you keeping that option enabled (security-wise)

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] swangjang:
Hi all,

TLDR QUESTION: do I have to "fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_boot.img" every time after "adb sideload ota_file.zip" ?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm coming over from only using samsung galaxy series to Pixel 5.

I've always used custom roms with root and whenever there was an update available, the usual process was:

1. Flash updated rom.zip

2. Flash magisk.zip

Done.

I assume it's a similar process for pixel phones and I intend to stay on stock rom with root.

I need to pass safetynet for google pay so I have to change the device fingerprint to Pixel 3a to bypass hardware attestation (as written on this forum guides).

1. Does changing the fingerprint to 3a break the on-device OTA updates?

2. Does changing the fingerprint to 3a break updates for Pixel 5 apps?

3. After an OTA update, (either by on-device or sideload), do I have to re-flash the magisk patched boot.img to retain root?

4. Also, if I decide to un-root, does bootloader re-locking also require a device wipe?

Thank you.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] dirtyreturn:
This may help. https://xdaforums.com/pixel-5/how-to/tutorial-unlock-bootloader-root-valid-t4178673/page1

For bootloader, I'm pretty sure that relocking would wipe the device. I think unlocking it wipes the device.

Though, it's not entirely necessary, I think, to relock the bootloader after unrooting. I think, for preference of complete security over device. I believe it disallows device modification.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] swangjang:
Hi, thanks for your response however I have already read that guide but it does not answer any of my questions.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] dirtyreturn:
Oh, sorry.

1) I think it changes a build.prop entry for device manufacturer or model.

2) Pixel 5 apps? Do you mean specifically designed for this device? I have a 3xl also, and I think and it seems, that stock apps are the same. Ah, for example, the Google stock camera app - I am not sure if a Pixel 5 specific feature would disappear or not work or something.

3) I THINK you will need to. Like, at least with elementalx and kirisakura kernel the (?)script(?) looks to see if Magisk is installed and retains it. I am assuming the Google stock kernel does not .

4) unlocking the bootloader wipes the device, I believe. I would assume relocking the bootloader would. Personally, I've never relocked the bootloader on any device after unrooting . If you do relock, back up your internal storage as an incase , failsafe, or general rule or something.

Hopefully, there will be someone to chime in in case I am wrong.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] nico22320:
Hi, i don't use OTA but full image for update but no, it don't break change props on pixel 5 but yes you need to flash magisk again.

Good update. No issues for november update
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] cescman:
As the december system/security update is coming, may I confirm the correct way to update:

1. disable all magisk modules, unhide magisk manager

2. Flash newest factory image, or flash OTA zip

3. reboot, and you get an updated but unrooted device

4. root the device as usual with magisk

5. Reapply all the magisk modules you use
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] j0nnyd:
That's typically the way I've always do it except you do not unhide MM. I also modify the batch file named ‘flash-all.bat’ and remove the ‘-w' so it doesn't wipe my device.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] l7777:
With the Pixel 2 my process was

1. fastboot flash stock boot and dtbo images for your current build version. (Not sure if dtbo is really needed)

2. Apply OTA via ADB

3. Allow phone to boot and finish update

4. Use magisk to patch the boot image from the new build version

5. fastboot flash patched boot image.

I have used this method for three years with the Pixel 2 and only had one issue. I used smalipatcher to make mock GPS look like real GPS and apparently the magisk module needs to be re-created for each build.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
I do this as well, but couldn't get the boot image patched through magisk for some reason. Anyone have a patched boot image they can share?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] TonyApuzzo:
I hope to get a more streamlined solution eventually, but this is what I did to upgrade my Unlocked Pixel 5:

Download factory image

Unzip

Edit "flash-all.bat" to remove the "-w", save as "flash-nowipe.bat"

plug in phone and enable debugging

adb reboot bootloader

flash-nowipe.bat

unzip "image-redfin*" into a temp folder

cd into the temp folder

adb push boot.img /sdcard/Download/boot.img

on phone run Magisk Manager and patch /sdcard/Download/boot.img

adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.img

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img

fastboot reboot

I didn't need to uninstall / reinstall any modules, they were all there after the final reboot. I did have to uninstall / reinstall vanced using vanced manager to get it working.

Next time I will try patching the boot image and repacking so I need fewer reboots.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] joeyfong:
*deleted*
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] eric_4321:
1. What's your build.prop before upgrade?

2. Did you uninstall Magisk (restore/complete) before upgrade?

3. If #2 is 'NO', did your 'Restore Magisk Manager' and disable 'MagiskHide' before upgrade?

Thank you very much!

it asks if I need IU (I press 0), later on red field is: Hurricane IPL 1.00.18

on green: Hurricane SPL 1.00.100

on blue: Hurricane XIP

I connected the phone to PC to flash new OS with mtty but button "USB" doesn't appear :mad: what can i do to flash new OS?

sometimes phone doesn't go to bootloader mode but at first it shows orange logo and then it becomes white. I can't turn the phone on when usb cabel is connected. Phone does'nt turn off when it's connected to PC and I remove baterry.

sorry just don't want to do a fatal mistake, where do i downloat MTTY from?

thanks!
[HTC Hurricane] elhes:
got the MTTY.

apparently similar to TTerm.

followed the instructions, last line it wrote is: start download

the phone is still in the 'bootload mode' (the "IU" is there on the blue line)

is it OK?

how long does it take?

should i do anything additional?

(sorry it's my first time with burning a ROM) :)
[HTC Hurricane] elhes:
Got it!!!

uffff...

i got the mistake.

was placing the bin file into the root of the SDcard instead of placing it into a folder with the same name so:

instead of writing "c:\romname.bin" the solution was to write "c:romname.bin"

IT WORKS!!! IT'S GREAT!!! THANKS ANYWAY!!! :)
[HTC Hurricane] elhes:
Multimedia buttons!

so in the end i did burn wm6_2_2 but apparently the multimedia buttons aren't working... is there a solution?

I'm a little bit confused about firmware update for my Watch 3 LTE. What is the latest firmware? My watch says ATFB and doesn't find any update my CSC is ITV. I haven't SPO2 widget on my watch what can i do?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] mafy31:
Where are you from ?

I believe ITV is Italy?

Mine is BTG7 firmware, i'm in France...

It's EU version, easy to get O2 widget : initialize watch, choose a contry that offers it (my case : region Spain) and language as you wish (i guess italian)...

Go in wearable, pair the watch as a new one, do the update that's proposed (samsung health). Widget for o2 appears.

Maybe you'll be able to do the same... You can also do the BP/ECG trick, and then you'll be all set with all features.

However i don't know if Italy is on same firmware as France or Spain. Check the available contries ("regions") when you initialize the watch to get the answear.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] renton82:
I have tried also this trick but doesn't work for me, I think it depends of firmware, as I said I'm still with ATFB; yes, ITV it' Italy.
