[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ManthanRB:
Hello OP,

Now that Pixel 3 is no more supported and not receiving any updates, I'd like to root. it. Do I have to follow the instructions for update, or initial root is enough?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
Initial root is enough.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sagethehellene:
Currently trying to root a Google Pixel 3 on android 11. I'm on the step where you have to enter the command fastboot flash boot <magisk patch file>, but every time, no matter what I do, I get an error message when the computer tries to write the boot that says:

FAILED (remote: No such file or directory)

Any help or tips are appreciated.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
Sounds like the path to the boot image is wrong.

Try the command again but instead of naming the boot image, just drag and drop it into the command line window, which will autopopulate the path.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sagethehellene:
I've tried that, I still get the same error message unfortunately.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dcarvil:
What is the exact command you are entering, the directory you are in when you issue the command, and the contents of that directory? Screenshots might help.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sagethehellene:
First I boot the phone into fastbootd using adb reboot fastboot

fastboot flash boot C:\adb\masterroot.img is the exact command.

I have the fastbootd (menu with big red letters at the top, yellow informational text about the phone and blue options) menu open on my phone when performing the command. I have also tried the command in a regular fastboot menu to no avail. I have attached pictures below of the command along with where the file is in my computer.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dcarvil:
Try "adb reboot bootloader" instead of "adb reboot fastboot". If you are in the C:adb directory, you can probably use just "fastboot flash boot masterroot.img".

You can also do "fastboot boot masterroot.img" to test the image without flashing it.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sagethehellene:
When I try it with "adb reboot bootloader" I get an error message that says (remote: Failed to write to partition Not Found). When I tested the image it ran fine, so I'm extremely confused at the moment. Said "okay" both times for the test, no error message, but when I flash it, it fails.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
Are you using a USB A to C cable? C to C sometimes doesn't work.

What version of ADB Platform Tools are you using? Are you using a modified version like Minimal ADB?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sagethehellene:
It says "Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.32" when I enter command adb version. And I am using a USB A to USB C cable.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dcarvil:
I think that error means you don't have a boot partition on your phone. If @V0latyle suggestions don't work out, you'll probably need to reflash a complete stock image.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dcarvil:
That is an old version of adb. Mine is:

xfx:~/bin $ adb --version

Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.41

Version 34.0.5-10900879

Installed as /ext4-store/home/dcarvil/bin/platform-tools/adb

Running on Linux 6.6.8-200.fc39.x86_64 (x86_64)

Try the latest from https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sagethehellene:
Updating it worked!! Thank you so much :)
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
You need to be using ADB Platform Tools 33.0.3. looks like you figured that out though so glad you got it sorted.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Jacasta:
Hi all!

I'm very new here although I used to frequent XDA many years ago when I was all about that root/custom ROM life on my older devices.

I've been using a Galaxy Note 9 for the last 3 years and it has served my very well, mainly due to the stylus. Whilst the addition of a stylus doesn't appeal to most (I think), it is an accessory that is something I use every day and kinda have to.

I have a condition (localised in my hands) called hyperhidrosis. To summarise what this is: my hands sweat like nobody's business, no matter the weather/climate. And it's not just clammy either. My hands quite literally pour, lol.

Anyway, if any of you have ever had a splash of water on your device screen, you will understand how frustrating it can be when trying to type or browse or anything. Now imagine that, all day every day. :(

So the stylus was my saviour.

But now I have this brand new, shiny device that doesn't have one and, having used this thing for less than a month, I have had enough and ended up going back to my Note 9 until I can figure out a solution.

Does anyone know if Google or any third party company have released or will be releasing such an accessory?

I see a lot of users complaining about the in-screen FPR and there's me like "bro...", haha.

Anyway, thanks for reading this post. There isn't a cure or permanent fix for my hands so I'm stuck with them forever.

I'm now wondering if I should sell this handset and get a Note 20 or something, idk.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nxt:
You can use generic stylus like this: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08LMWYWFM

It works on regular capacitive screens. It doesn't do cool things like the stylus Notes can do.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Jacasta:
I'll take a look; thank you!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] FoneWatcher:
I think you already answered your own question.

Even if you are happy with 3rd party hardware and 3rd party software to go with it (highly unlikely given your story). you'll constantly be worried about keeping the stylus with the P6P and vice-versa.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 400ixl:
Rumour has it that there won't be another Note, but that the next S22 series will have a model with Note features.

If you are dependent on a stylus then I would stick with a phone which has native support for one personally. Either an existing model Note or see if the S22 Ultra has an S pen as rumoured. Doesn't sound like the Pixel is the right phone for you unfortunately.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
If you have a medical condition that makes a decent stylus with good functionality a life saver, you should either go for the last year Note model, or wait for the S22 Ultra that has (rumored) official stylus support/casing (prob January/February).

Google never cared for a stylus, so you will just have very basic functionality, that's not what you are looking for.

Pixel 6 is not for you.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] prashant.saraf:
I am in same boat as your are, A NOTE 9 user for 3 yrs, its getting hard to live without s pen. its not just stylus but give great amount of feature mostly use one is copy a simple text from anywhere, use it as camera remote and many other feature. and I am waiting for S22 Ultra as I am not that happy with P6P, no doubt P6P is great device.

Seems about as good as it gets!🖌️🪄🖊️🖋️
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] DinarQ8:
There is no device on the market that compares to Samsung Note series

And I know exactly how you feel about the pen And I know when you think about switching the phone, you feel very hesitant. In short, it is a series of note. You can do things that no other phone can do like copying things that don't get copied

If you are thinking of switching you have to get used to not having a pen. Good luck
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Jacasta:
Thank you all for your input. Much appreciated!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Samsung and Apple have some particular copyrights which keep all other styluses from having some of the nicest features theirs do. It's unfortunate, and we'll miss having a stylus for the short period of time my wife and I had Note 10+'s, but it's worth it to me for how the l Android works on the Pixel versus Samsung, such as reliable notifications off my work emails and other things.

I rooted a new Tab A7 T500 32gb using the latest Samsung rom and Magisk (image has a size of ~4.3g) but after completing the rooting, the available space on the tab is only 21gb, does the stock rom actually take up ~10g or does it sound like something is wrong?

[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] Rices:
A couple months ago I got lineage OS on my Razer Phone 2, but today I decided to go back to the stock OS. After running the .bat file to go back to the stock OS, my phone started cycling through the razer logo screen, "device is corrupt" screen, and the "bootloader is unlocked" screen. I can still access the boot loader but can't go anywhere else. Is my phone done for or is there a fix to this?

I attached image to the screens I get.

I recommend to still do a Nandroid backup with TWRP of just the data partition if you wish to back it up.

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Quercy:
Hi Raygen. I tried the PartitionsBackupper app and I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I'm not backing up anything. I run the .bat command under adb commands and I even check that I have access to my smartphone with the adb devices command but nothing. I have the menu I chose option 1 "backup". It even offers me to transfer the backup to PC but the file is empty.

For this application to work do you have to be in fastboot mode? With TWRP ???

Any idea? In the logfile I just have the info 0% backup... Last info I have TWRP but no longer Magisk because fed up with having bootloops with this Nord 2 which does not support Root.

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Boowho 1234:
Assume since this is such an old thread, the dev is no longer monitoring it??

I need some help with it.

Thanks
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Raygen:
State your issue
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Boowho 1234:
First thanks for the reply..... I've studied your code extensively and have figured out that my device throws an error saying "out of memory". It's a Pixel 3a and has no external SD card and only 64GB of main memory. I think I'm screwed.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Raygen:
Well that's your issue. This tool is made and tested only for the OnePlus Nord 2.

It can technically work with other devices since it uses a pretty universal method for searching and copying the partitions, but I can't ensure it working or offer support in that case, since I can't test it or troubleshoot it with other devices.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Boowho 1234:
Understand your response completely and did not expect you to fix it for me. I am modifying your code such that when it throws the error, I call your routine to transfer the files to the PC, then delete them from the device. Then return to the main thread and resume from the out of memory error. This should be all I need.

Once again I thank you for making the original .bat file script and for making it available to us.

BTW, I understand that Nandroid backups contain EVERYTHING; this would include things like settings made to apps, any data the dev may wish to hide from the user, etc. True??
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Raygen:
That's a great idea! I never thought about hitting a memory limit since TWRP also saves Nandroid backups in the internal storage, but it would be a great addition to the script!

I'm kinda busy rn with university studies, but do hit me up in PMs if you need any help with it. I'd like to add your update to the script.

Nandroid backups by the way do backup everything at a partition level, just like this script. Any root level data and hidden folder will be backed up yes, as long as you don't miss the partitions where they're stored in.

Apps data resides in the userdata partition though, so this script does not backup it, but nandroid backups do yes.

If you need to just backup apps data and you are rooted btw, you can also use Neo backup or Swift backup, the spiritual successors of Titanium backup.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Boowho 1234:
Alright sir, I understand your schedule with your studies. I was a dev for over 40 years (Yes, I'm old ; currently 80 YO) so in spite of the extensive experience am painfully SLOW. What I used to be able to do in an hour might now take me a couple of DAYS.

I look forward to keeping in touch with you and your giving advice, etc..... When I finally get it done you are more that welcome to having a copy of your modified script.

Mod. edit: contact removed. alecxs
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Boowho 1234:
As you may remember, I was tinkering with your script to make it work on Pixel 3. Still get a couple of errors about being out of memory and/or I/O Error. Its always on the same two partitions ; mmcblk0 mmcblk0rpmb. Other than that it works fine for me. I do believe that these two "partitions" are not really "partitions" at all, but have something to do with "A" or "B" boot "slots". Your device may not have such a system??
[Nubia Red Magic 6] leipnacht:
Hello Guys,

My 6S Pro just arrived yesterday. I'm not new to Red Magic OS, coz I still have my Nubia Red Magic 3 since 2019.

My 6S Pro is a Global Ghost variant and after doing tinkering since yesterday, I still don't get Red Magic watermark when doing screenshots on game.

I'm confused because I already turned it on but no Red Magic watermark.

Do I need to do something extra to make this work?

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] redkelah:
Hi guys been spending all night trying to figure out but seems nothing is working. HELP! I know i can get it to work.

So tried to root my A2017G previously but saw all the horror brick stories so ended up just doing the multiple OTA updates via SDCARD upgrade.zip and finally ended up with OREO BO3 version. running fine except for ridiculous battery meter levels playing up but just kept it charged most of the time.

1) at first I tried to check bootloader unlock status from fastboot. But somehow unable to as fastboot is not there! So i thought maybe fastboot is corrupt (stock recovery options ok / also power plus down gets stuck in FTM mode (easy to reboot with adb command) So unable to check bootloader (i am thinking its probably still locked)

2) so got latest version of TWRP 3.3 something and flashed it --> result in phone black screen but detectable (I assume in EDL mode.) '

3) Tried to flash Nougat B10 EDL with EDL tool (working now but after everything is ready to flash it says"" 13:02:38: {ERROR: WritePort:5164 Could not write to '\\.\COM8', Windows API WriteFile failed! Your device is probably *not* on this port, attempted 100 times""

4) MiFlash unable to read hello packet. But i tried pressing power and connecting quickly and suddenly starts flashing B10 nougat EDL ROM but doesnt complete with a "function: sahara_rx_data:237, unable to read packet header" error. Should I be using a stock rom with Meta-INF folder rather than the EDL version? Also should i be flashing OREO stock rom rather than nougat with MiFlash? or it doesnt matter?

5) tried the DFU tool initially qualcomm and com8 detected but says disconnected. (so its in EDL probably but somehow still disconnected?

So currently

1) trying to let the phone battery run out, though i doubt its any use as i probably bricked it installing twrp without unlock bootloader on OREO.

2) Also downloading Oreo stock rom to try and flash with miflash.

Any help or point to some discussion i missed would be helpful thanks. Just wanna get root and GPS tools running so I can let the kids catch some Pokemon without GOing outside.
