That sounds like you're not rooted at all and your bootloader is still locked. The very first step that you should do is enable debugging mode and OEM unlock should be toggled on and developer options. If you know the command for unlocking the bootloader. If you follow the steps provided to you by Google to unlock the bootloader you should be able to move forward from there. To be able to unlock your bootloader Just follow the commands that you see on the link below. It will also help you get ADB working or at least it should

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Shawn7656:
I hate reporting things when I'm not on the newest build but wanted to add another instance of having a lot of freezing.

I've had it freeze while charging overnight, while in my pocket doing nothing, while using navigation with Maps.

It is a super weird freeze though as others were saying. The phone is definitely not completely frozen but it will not respond to any input, and when it froze overnight my alarms didn't go off. But while driving the GPS kept turning a little and trying to get a lock.

I am on the 11/24 build though which was a beta release. Will be flashing the most current build and will report back if I continue to experience freezing.

@OP: are there any logs that would be helpful for identifying this issue if it comes up again?

disable Status bar location indicator at developer settings (it sits at the bottom).
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] spschneer:
Thanks for the hint....it was a few options that weren't set properly as well as the USB driver not being installed on my PC properly...finally got it unlocked and then the fun started....

Followed the instructions and downloaded the .img and installed it, then the .zip file and then rebooted. PE came up and I thought everything was fine...until I tried to log into Google to begin restoring my phone...the new 2-factor-authorization got me....it "assumes" you have your phone available to verify you're you....this is pretty hard when you're in the process of re-building it....(huge shaggy-dog story omitted here).

I did finally get signed into Google and got some of my files restored, but apparently lost some of the miscellaneous files on my phone (downloads, etc). Files that came over properly were mostly config files, and files directly associated with apps.

If anyone knows how to restore from a previous Google backup (outside of the initial build process) I'd appreciate a pointer...

I've been using PE for a couple of years, on 2 phones and this was a real "Experience" of an install...

One quick question...do I need to re-lock my bootloader(e.g: for OTA updates)? Whenever I reboot, I get a warning that I'm unlocked and vulnerable (does this also prevent using Google Pay...seem to remember reading that somewhere but can't find it ATM)...
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] EtherealRemnant:
If you re-lock your bootloader you'll have a brick. That message will always be there, nothing you can do about it.

Magisk is needed to make Google Pay work. Check the thread in the guides part of the 3 XL forum.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] N5X_ita:
It seems, by looking at the device tree, that we're going to have doube quick tap
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cc101:
For the folks with freezing issues. If you're rooted with magisk, try disabling systemless hosts. This module seems to caused alot of random reboot and freezing on stock rom. But if you need the module for adblocking, then try replacing your kernel with Kirisakura's (https://xdaforums.com/t/kernel-13-0...s-4-1-0-for-pixel-3-xl-aka-bluecross.3864563/). I did this on stock rom and the problem went away.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] spschneer:
Is there anywhere in PE that provides the model number of the phone? In a stock ROM, it is contained in the About Phone/Legal & Regulatory/Regulatory Labels section. In PE, that section does not exist (that I could find, anyway)...

Thanks

Google assisted evoked by edge squeezing does not hear anything. It works, instead, when evoked by other gestures. I think the problem is here: Google Voice Typing cannot be enabled via Gboard Settings

EDIT: it seems that the issue here is that Google app is not a system app and this happens often with custom ROM.

I've tried unsuccessfully to systemize. Could you please make it a system app in the next build?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DigitalDreamer:
A quick question, is it possible to relock the bootloader after flashing the rom?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mgp53:
Not a good idea.

Error --> To delete)
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DigitalDreamer:
Why not?

I can see some devices are supported on the official site.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] beanaman:
Just because the rom is official does not mean that you can relock bootloader. Relocking bootloader is done generally when you're on stock Google software.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DigitalDreamer:
I only asked cause it's possible to have this rom and a locked bootloader on the OP7T and to kinda quote you, lol it works there...

So I just wondered what's the process behind it and how does it work.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Homeboy76:
The instructions do not tell you how to return the Pixel 3/Pixel 3 XL to stock.

I'm guessing Locking the bootloader would be one of the steps to returning the Pixel 3/Pixel 3 XL to stock, and that locking it would

erase all data

.

Why is that my guess?

I'm assuming that if unlocking the bootloader of the Pixel 3/Pixel 3 XL erases all data: (...unlock the bootloader, but doing so deletes user data for privacy reasons. After unlocking, all data on the device is erased, that is, both private app data and shared data accessible over USB (including photos and movies)...) locking it would erase all data.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DigitalDreamer:
Okay, I know it isn't in the instructions for our device, but I wondered cause I saw it in the instructions as a possible step on other devices in which you could relock the bootloader but stay on the PixelExperience rom with the OTA updates.

But I guess it isn't possible for the p3 - p3xl.

edit, to quote them:
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Homeboy76:
I do not know if it is possible.

Assumptions can be wrong.

I'm just not willing to test my assumption. :) :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jsauder2:
You can just do `fastboot flashing lock` from the bootloader screen to relock. I'm pretty sure it only wipes the device when you unlock. I've not tried this with a custom rom, so I don't know if it works with this or not.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mgp53:
If you want to take chance on bricking the device should a problem arise, then I guess there is not any valid reason. Google may be a better choice to find an answer your question.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mgp53:
Relocking the bootloader should only be done on a full stock install. FWIW, that is what I learned long ago and never tried to test the advice. I think I read in some Android docs. Google would know.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Homeboy76:
In all my threads I have this:

Lock Bootloader

Return the phone to Stock before locking the bootloader,

failure to do so could brick your phone

This will erase all user data from the device!

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DigitalDreamer:
Just click on the install button from your phone? Ota works.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] spschneer:
Just for anyone else reading this, the install button doesn't show up until after you successfully download the update. Then you get the install button, and the typical OTA step by step instructions (install, reboot, apply update & it completes without interaction, and then it prompts for final reboot). Everything looks okay (so far) so

GREAT JOB.

I just applied the system update to 2/22 and tried out google assistant. I used squeeze to activate and then a couple of minor commands (show calendar, etc) and they worked...Haven't done anything special and since I don't really use G.A. I can't tell if there are functions missing, but activation and basic functionality seems to work for me. Let me know if there's something else you want me to try that's not working for you....

Did you have the eSim when u first moved from stock to custom? I am still on stock with eSIM. Never moved to custom because of the notes in different places that eSim doesn't work and might get wiped when wiping the device after custom ROM installation.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] NeuroStrikers:
Yes, esim was setup in stock rom, and I did not have to register it again. I believe esim save is separated from normal storage, as I have factory reset numerous times and never had to rescan for sim registration.

After a while it becomes more stable. When I initially flashed the rom play services looked for my location on every unlock. Nowadays it's fine.

And yeah, I couldn't find a way so that's why I am now fine with it occasionally showing up (like max 3 times a day without being actually utilized by another app).

Battery life is pretty much same as stock in my opinion.

I installed latest Krisakura kernel on top of it and battery seems much better. I recommend blocking some wakelocks in the kernel setting and limit heavy consuming apps usage for better performances.

[LG Watch Urbane] Antharro:
I have a W150 which was *very* slow and not working correctly. Try and open the Play store? Nope, returns to menu. Go to settings and factory reset? Returns to the menu. Try to get into recovery? Black screen. So I figured I'd nuke the storage and flash the original ROM over it.

Downloaded the factory ROM from XDA. Erased recovery, boot, cache, userdata, recovery and system. Flashed recovery, boot and system, then rebooted. It booted up into WearOS 1.5 just fine - connected to the phone and set it up. Downloaded the WearOS 2.0 OTA update, installed fine. Amazingly responsive again, just like when I first got it. Update said it was done with version 2.0.0.153815175 - no further updates available. I had 2.35 before.

I unlocked it, picked up the 2.35 OTA update from XDA and used adb to sideload it - this resulted in a constant ly animating Google logo screen. (It was running 2.35 before but picked it up OTA).

Back to fastboot, wipe, reinstall factory ROM. Boot up, set up, all good. Download the 2.0 OTA update, it reboots for the install and never comes back up. Flashes the LG logo, then black screen. Neither fastboot or adb see it.

I tried letting it charge up to 100% before attempting the install, and also tried the install while it was connected to power, but same result. If I boot it into fastboot, I can wipe and reinstall 1.5 and it works fine. I can also unlock and install TWRP which works fine. Trying to get into stock recovery results in a black screen, even with 1.5.

I suspected the battery but it's still good for two days of light use, and I was keeping it charged while doing all of this. (I have tried applying the update on battery power only, no luck).

Any help appreciated!

Hi

Got one of these coming on Friday :)

Does the official Rom come with internet sharing?

Im using my hermes at the moment on orange pay as you go and I get free internet all day everyday through internet sharing ( to my laptop ) !

Will my New phone do the same? Or will I need to flash it?!

I cant work out either if I need to have a data plan included, I know I would need to using internet on the phone , but not sure through the internet sharing,

On my hermes at the moment Im on Orange and get free facebook , bebo ect on the phone, but all websites free through Internet sharing !!

Please help.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] cb95amc:
My UK Vodafone Touch Pro has an Internet Sharing icon under, Programs\Tools...

You select whether you want it enabled on USB or Bluetooth, and then which connection you want it to use...

Haven't yet tried it myself though....

Also be aware that the Vodafone Mobile Internet plan is subject to a 500MB per month fair usage allowance....I think if you go over that at any point you will be charged £1 per day for internet access for the remainder of the month....
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] dealstokie:
Hi, thanks for the reply,so I get 500mb included do I ?

Im on the business txt plan - unlimited txt / 600 cross network minutes.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] sub69:
Depends. I believe they've recently been adding the Mobile Internet Plan to new personal contracts as standard.

As an existing Vodafone customer, I had to ring up and request that it was added to my plan. No idea how it'll work on a business tarrif.

I'd strongly suggest you give Vodafone a call to confirm your data plan, because unless they've changed their charges, the out-of-bundle data costs can be a lot more than £1 per day if you go over 15Mb each day...

Hello, I am currently in a big problem right now,

My tablet, a Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T719Y is stuck inside a boot loop - the Samsung tab s2 logo appears, but it does not reach the Samsung logo.

I tried to go to recovery mode, but to no avail. So I booted the tab into download mode and tried to install TWRP into it but due to FRP lock, the device did not allow me to download it.

Trying to fix it for school, tried a few FRP unlocking tools, but does not work.

It'd be great if anyone can help me, thanks

This is the Tab S2 8.0", 32GB.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ri9000:
Hi , since no one else helped. Try again download mode. .

If it won't stop looping try vol down+pwr to turn it off

then vol up+home+pwr to turn device on, release buttons when screen turns on, wait after 10 secs recovery will start.

Then you can factory-reset, this will wipe all your stuff too, but hopefully fix it!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] FYL21:
I only started noticing this recently when I got the Galaxy Buds 2, but it is also happening to my Buds+ as well. Basically the treble starts to distort and double up when using the default Scalable Codec on my Exynos N960F-DS. It becomes sensitive to a "death grip" near the volume rocker where the connectivity drops, also when I put my phone on my right pocket compared to my left. Not sure if a recent software/firmware update caused it as I never noticed it before with the Buds+ (except in game mode) until recently. I haven't been able to test this conclusively, but I also wonder if they are stuck in gaming mode when using Scalable.

Changing to AAC eliminates this problem but is very tedious as the Buds always default to Scalable. Is there any way to make it remember the codec set in developer options? Another solution is to simply turn off wifi, but distortion still occasionally happens and it defeats the whole purpose of using the phone.
