[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ChasTechProjects:
I don't think development for the Pixel 2XL will end anytime soon. The Galaxy S3 was released in 2012 and still has ROMs being made for it! As for whether to buy it, if you're fine using a custom ROM for future updates (since Google's ended all updates for it now), and you can find one that's a good deal, then go for it!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Janfri:
You just helped to sell a Pixel 2 XL, at least I bought it for 220 Euros, brand new with an original grey case, which is also unused. I feel like I made a good deal, as I can't imagine a better rootable device at that price. Thank you!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ChasTechProjects:
Wow, that's a good deal! Wish you best of luck with your new device, and I hope you get many years out of it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Janfri:
Thank you very much! Actually I have read that the "taimen" is also known as the siberian giant trout, which can live about 16 years. This should be the average for premium devices. I am typing this proudly on my 2008 built Thinkpad X61s with Windows 10.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Wickidmasshole:
I just scooped up a panda on swappa last week for 100 bucks, got a new battery off ebay (actually legit to my surprise) and this thing is running AWESOME. Flashed all the 11 roms and found evolution x to work best for me. Seriously blown away at how well this phone holds up 3+ years later. Only thing I "miss" coming from some modern phones is the 90hz refresh rate, other then that things still very much usable in 2021

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] GG78:
Pixel 2XL worth in 2021?

Snapdragon 835

4GB RAM

Adreno Graphics

6" QHD Full Amoled Display

Surround Stereo Speakers wich will slap you in the Face (the Good way)

Type-C QuickCharge

Awesome Pictures & Videos with Bokeh und Nightvision (Latest Google Camera version)

Android 8-11 (depends if you update or not)

The most beautiful Design ever made (Black/White version) 😍

Runs any App & Games even badass once like

Genshin Impact, Diablo Immortal and yes that ugly Fortnite without any issues.

So would i recommend the Pixel 2XL? ABSOLUTELY 👌🏻

Ps: i bought mine in October 2020 factory new & sealed for 249€ (very rare to find a sealed one, good luck)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] GG78:
Saw that to late, congratz for having one now. 👌🏻BUT don't root it, just don't screw it up, its just a rare phone (specially factory new) there is absolutely NO reason to Root any Device in 2021, whatever you are looking for, "There is an App for that" (yeah that apple phrase, matches Android now as well) 🤭

Also you will lose the ability to run any Online Banking app & you will be kicked out of a lotta Games as well, cause of Root. It's not worth it, remember there is always an "App for that"
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Janfri:
Yes, I am also quite happy with my Panda, which I bought factory sealed for 220 Euros, including a brand new google case, which I immediatly thought looks very nice but not very functional. The second day of use it fell down on the floor from my table and it suffered a small crack on the upper part of the screen right next to the speaker, you can imagine that I was not too happy with that, although the damage is not very important . Several days later a spigen case and a screen protector arrived. and cost only 30% of the price from 2017 when the device came out . It now has lost it's most beautiful design of the century but it looks save. Included in the price of my pixel 2 xl came allmost all the bugs the device can have, a slightly blue screen depending on the angle you look at it, which is not very important for me and, but more annoying, a not very responsive touchscreen at the lower edges. This said, the device is marvelous and all what I expected. After rooting I first used the stock ROM but now changed to the last ProtonAOSP, which has a very comfy web installer and is much smoother and faster than stock ROM, passes safetynet and gives me 9 hours of SOT . Yesterday I also installed Viper4Android through magisk and I am totally happy with the result. I have never seen a better sounding smartphone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Janfri:
Well, the main reason for me for buying this phone was that rooting is so easy and the developer community for pixel phones is very active. So it is much easier to keep this device up to date than other much newer devices.

[HTC Tornado] basicwizardry:
I just have the worst luck. Ive been looking into buying a cingular 2125 for awhile, researching and discovering the relative simplicity of unlocking and such. that was awhile ago, and ive purchased a few other phone instead since then. Anyhow i finally got one yesterday figuring that the methods would still be working, but no such luck.

Does anyone know how long spv-developers.com has been down, of if\when it will be back up?

And to make matters much worse i decided to try an alternate method ( aka http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=412139 ) , and have seriously messed up the phone i believe.

upon booting phone with sim installed i get the "Data Crashes. Please contact your service provider"

I was able to flash over different firmwares but the same error comes up, so i went back to a cingular firmware ( not sure if its the same as the original version ).

From what i can tell the cid block is messed up?

I am wondering/hoping that is spv-services ever comes back online it can help me out with this. If anyone has any solution or help or answers, it would ease my mind so much. Thanks in advance
[HTC Tornado] basicwizardry:
Update

I went ahead and paid $36 bucks to imei check and it fixed it right up.

Then i checked spv-developers and its back up again. lol

Whats the odds of that? but i dunno if spv-services would have been able to fix it anyhow.

The luck continues.

Thank you! But if I see correctly, this only copies the .apk files (basically, the /data/app directory), but does not export their settings and data to be imported to a new device.

This is correct. Probably better this way especially if the phone was compromised by malware.

My important apps that are hard to reconfigure are backed up separately. I deliberately picked ones that allow for complete backup like Poweramp, PD MDM and ColorNote.

[General Questions and Answers] f0k:
The download link does not work any more. However, as described above, I already extracted the missing .apk and .odex from an official sysimg from https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sys-img/android/sysimg_armv7a-14_r02.zip. That .apk is 88093 bytes and the .odex is 11816 bytes. The link you posted had a .apk of 15089 bytes and misses the .odex. Not sure if this is relevant.

In any case, user "animania260" in the thread you posted had the same problem as me: I copied the .apk and .odex into /system/app and rebooted, but adb backup still fails with the same error, and /system/app/BackupRestoreConfirmation.apk is not listed among the installed apps (adb shell pm list packages -f).

Is there anything else that needs to be done to get the phone to accept a new system app? Or are there any special requirements for system apps? Do they need to be signed differently than what's included in the official sysimg, for example?

Another route could be to compile https://android.googlesource.com/pl....0.4_r2.1/packages/BackupRestoreConfirmation/ into a deodexed .apk and install it as a user app, but I don't know how to do that yet, and I don't know if https://android.googlesource.com/pl...android/server/BackupManagerService.java#4988 will just happily start a user app if it happens to provide an intent of the correct name.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
IMO the APKs in question must NOT get simply 1:1 copied into /system/app but also renamed

Example:

/system/app/BackRestoreConfirmation-1.apk

and additionally given 0644 permission. Phone has to get re-booted afterwards, too, if that's not automatically done.

But I may err as always ...
[General Topics] jaisunny:
Im posting this here in hope to get an answer to my issue.

I sold my 2 year old samsung tab T813 on ebay recently. The buyer said it kept rebooting and the battery life was bad, this had never, ever happened in 2 years of owning it. So they returned it and ebay refunded them.

The issue I have is they FRP locked the tablet to their google account. I boot it up and type the buyers phone number and it sends a code to their mobile phone. The buyer will not give me this code as she thinks I am hacking her...ie.. she is worried and unsure as to what im talking about. Anyway, the comms were fine until ebay refunded her. The moment she got refunded she ignores all my messages.

So where do I stand now in terms of getting this tablet into functioning order again?

None of my computers detect the tablet even in download mode. Well, it charges the tablet but ODIN don't recognise the tablet so I cannot flash firmware.

I have tried numerous computers, different MS operating systems, numerous odin versions, numerous micro USB cables (inc original), numerous hours with no luck.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

FRP is locked when you try modifying and playing with your system without unlocking your bootloader and Hence RIP..........

if the person (who you sold on ebay) did it, report it immediately. if you did it, so uhh.... you are responsible for that.

Solutions:

wipe internal storage and cache from recovery

rest my knowledge ends here
[General Topics] jaisunny:
The last owner set up their google account during setup of the tablet.

You say wipe internal storage and cache from recovery. Don't that still render the tablet useless? ie.. will need to reload a firmware onto it? well.. another problem.. None of my micro usb cables work with odin to any of my computers. Apparently common problem on the TAB S2.

At first his touch screen stopped reacting on touch, i tried rebooting, restoring on factory settings but every time he works for few minutes from the moment i start him and then again the same. My screen doesn't react on touch or if it reacts he opens a program and close it right away by it self, now he started doing that and when i start a program with buttons (not on touch screen).

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bbju:
In short, try to install HardSPL. That way you can flash your ROM with minimal chance to turn it to a brick or flashing halt in midway.

Then, you go to Diamond ROM section and look for a good ROM to flash (either a "cooked" (modified) ROM from our fellow diamondier or an official ROM from HTC. All are available from the forum). Since the diamond is new to you, you don't quite need to backup anything. Scary at the first try but you will be hooked onto it and keep flashing different ROMs once you get the hang of it.

[General Questions and Answers] wallace108:
The phone is brand new, runs Android 9 and - like the title says - won't install any apps. This happens either if I want to download apps from the store (the download happens but then I get an error message that the app can't be installed) or if I want to install an apk file from my sd card.

On the internet dozens of sites keep repeating to clear cache and data from Google store and Play services. No way! Even after a factory reset the situation doesn't change.

I also flashed the phone with its firmware ... the result stays the same.

I tried changing user account and double-checked my connection.

I will eventually return the phone to the seller, but, until then is there anything else I might try that escaped me?

[General Questions and Answers] bracknelson:
There may be various reasons behind this error, but for now, you can check and follow these steps whether they are working for you or not.

Clear the cache and data of the Play Store

This gives the app a fresh start and can help fix issues.

Steps are:

Open your device's Settings app.

Tap Apps & notifications See all apps.

Scroll down and tap Google Play Store.

Tap Storage Clear Cache.

Next, tap Clear data.

Re-open the Play Store and try your download again.
[General Questions and Answers] wallace108:
Thanks bracknelson but in my case it was NOT a question of clearing cache and data (which was the very first thing I have done). Odd enough I had to "enable" app installation with the code provided by kiwi1688. After entering the code a confirmation message appeared and since then I was able to install any apps.

Before that I was about to return the phone to the manufacturer because it was far from my mind there was a code to be entered. Weird!
