[Google Pixel 6 Pro] finshan:
I ended up getting three pixel 6's and a 6 pro, because i'm picky about screens.

- The screen lottery is still real.

- All three pixel 6's have different Mura Effect. None of them have no Mura Effect. Many people don't notice this until it's pointed out to them, but with normal vision it's obvious on dark colors with a dim screen in a dark room (i.e. everyone's phone in bed every night).

- The 6's have a grayer graypoint than the 6 pro. The 6 pro's graypoint is slightly green.

- The regular 0%-100% brightness is relatively similar between the 6's and the 6 pro.

- The high brightness mode on all pixel 6's is brighter than the pro.

I'm torn between having a bright display (pixel 6) and a uniform display (pixel 6 pro). I think I'll opt for the uniform display, and for yet another year suffer for the notoriously dim pixel displays.

But for all the **** the pixel 6 display gets for not being "modern", it's literally a better display IMO except for the uniformity problems.

- it's flat, seriously **** curved edges for a plethora of reasons

- it's smaller, far from small but not quite unweildy

- brighter

- more neutral whites and grays

PIXEL DISPLAY PROTIP:

The default display mode, Adaptive, crushes blacks on the dimmest brightness levels. Switch to Boosted, which has the exact same saturation, but doesn't crush blacks! This makes it so that details in the darker parts of media is not crushed to black when you're watching stuff in bed. Use this this image to check it out. Edit the image to blacken out the white square, and then open it in a gallery app (some browsers change how colors appear, e.g. dark mode in the samsung browser darkens images, so don't do any real image-based tests in browsers), and then switch between Adaptive and Boosted. You're welcome 👍.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Izy:
thanks for the tip

also dxomark puts the pro more colour accurate than the 6

that and the off angle green/pink hues the none pro get are pretty well known now
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ajsmsg78:
If you're rooted and flash a kernel you can enable HBM (high brightness mode) and then the screen is even brighter than an S21 Ultra or any other device.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] finshan:
Glad to help.

I prefer more neutral whites and grays to a 2% increase in "color accuracy". Display variance is so massive among all phones in the world, and color accuracy is already so good on high end phones, that color accuracy is a meme. What everyone does notice, however, is whether white and grays seem tinted yellow/orange/green etc.

I already do that and it doesn't help that much. In direct sunlight with HBM enabled, the 6 Pro is definitely significantly dimmer than the 6's, which are both dimmer than my S21 Ultra, which is dimmer still than my 13 Pro Max.

It's classic google phone dimness. I'm shocked the 6 broke that mold...I just wish it was the 6 pro instead.

Hello

I found this forum searching for a way to un-brick my Grand sons Samsung Tab 10.1

I found some software from a Samsung Site and ""Flashed the thing using ODIN, now, it is just hanging there, doing basically nothing !!!

This is the first time I have had a go at the ANDROID software. Windows I know about, this one has me stumped a bit

But, I am here, and ready to do some searching

Thanks

hello ...

back for more question about pixel 6 : how do we mount system partition to r/w using any file explorer apps ? i have root access.

thank you !
[Google Pixel 6] reas0n:
I think you can't. Make a Magisk module and replace/edit things you want to
[Google Pixel 6] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
As mentioned already, you can't and haven't been able to since Android 10. System partitions have the RO_COMPAT_SHARED_BLOCKS flag set. This is nicknamed the "dedup" flag, and the flag's behavior only works if the partition is read only. Not only that, the flag cannot be disabled due to insufficient space remaining in the partition. The lack of space has the side effect of making it impossible to ever set the partition as r/w.
[Google Pixel 6] mailistman:
thank you for the answers. i came from android Pie. so much learning curve & surprises with the 12.
[Google Pixel 6] xikal12:
Also wanted this. Thanks to community.
[Google Pixel 6] nutzfreelance:
some system directory's can be mounted r/w if you have a root enabled file explorer. like root explorer. im not sure exactly which ones.
[Google Pixel 6] xikal12:
Rooting didn't harm the devices?
[Google Pixel 6] nutzfreelance:
define harm?

AFAIK the pixel can always be put back to complete stock by flashing the factory rom back and re-locking the bootloader
[Google Pixel 6] xikal12:
Harm means the capability of the device. But got the point. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 6] xikal12:
So, did you got the point about harm?
[Google Pixel 6] nutzfreelance:
physically no. as for software wise you will need to research.

i don't use my phone to pay for things or banking apps so i have never had any loss of use i find valuable.

security wise if you don't have your phone you don't have any security left anyways.

as for what damage you can do once you mount a system partition or other partitions, everything should be fixable with a fresh flash.

but then you take your chances with anything you do.
[Google Pixel 6] boom15:
If you wanna listen all bulshitt about harm and so on - listen .If you wanna enjoy real root and debloat your phone I can drop to you all files (system,system_ext,product) with rw enable form may 5. Drop request in conversation.
[Google Pixel 6] cori12:
Drop all of the files.

Great Work
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pringau:
Hi, thanks for sharing.

I have LineageOS 15.1 in my ZUK Z2 PRO but I was never able to install anything else.

I tried your procedure but I keep getting the "mount /vendor" error with twrp-3.2.3-1-z2_row version.

Tried a different TWRP and I got "success" in the logs installing everything but neither Arrow nor LineageOS will boot, I only get fastboot.

Tried also Arrow-v10.0-z2_row-OFFICIAL-20200831-VANILLA with lineage-17.1-20210808-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvS and those also won't boot.

Also tried starting with TWRP-3.2.3-0929-ZUK_Z2_PRO-CN-wzsx150 and Z2121_CN_OPEN_USER_Q00030.1_O_ZUI_4.0.247_ST_181017_qpst in advance to Arrow and LineageOS and nothing boots.

Had to restore from TWRP.

Any advice please?

Is my hardware different from yours or something?

Logs saying "success" are leaving blind and with no ideas here.

Thanks a bunch, take care.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Fendora77:
I would stick to twrp 3.2.3.1, what is your "mount/vendor" error exactly, and when does it happen ? Did you try to go into twrp/mount and tick the vendor partition before ?

Flashing ZUI should restore your vendor partition.

You could also just try ArrowOS 10 (just flash it after wiping caches/system/data), without a treble rom on it, it's a good rom, coming from lineageOS 14.1, and a much simpler install.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pringau:
Starting from actual LineageOS 15.1 and following your procedure step by step, Arrow10 fails with error "Failed to mount '/vendor' (Invalid argument)" at the beginning and at the end of the installation. I read this is a known issue with TWRP, maybe just with ZUK Z2 PRO. I guessed this is way I had to stay with 3.2.1-0 back when I got LineageOS 15.1 to work.

At the moment, after the restore, I don't have the /vendor folder at all and I didn't find any issue so far after restoring last night.

If I understood you correctly, I tried yesterday flashing Z2121_CN_OPEN_USER_Q00030.1_O_ZUI_4.0.247_ST_181017_qpst and it didn't boot as well.

I tried Arrow10 (with different TWRP so I wouldn't have the TWRP so called known issue) so that I could reproduce your step 5) regarding the fingerprint but no joy, won't boot even though TWRP for Arrow10 said SUCCESS.

My phone was ordered from China a few years ago, is it possible that I am experiencing an hardware incompatibility?

Sorry and thanks again.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pringau:
Tried again with Z2121_CN_OPEN_USER_Q00030.1_O_ZUI_4.0.247_ST_181017_qpst and if I try to mount vendor and/or factory I can see both full of stuff in Advanced \ File Manager but those won't show in Wipe.

Tried this ZUI, Arrow, Lineage16, Kang, AospExtended, nothing boots.

Back to LineageOS 15.1 with no updates ;(
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Giogts:
Have you flashed factory to vendor?
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pringau:
I did yes, I used factory2vendor_z2_row.zip and didn't noticed any difference to neither new ROM nor LineageOS 15.1 if for example I install it without Restore. Meaning that new won't boot at all and LineageOS 15.1 works correctly with fresh or restored data.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pringau:
Ok, so I guess I could try to delete all my spam here and just say THANK YOU.

But I believe trying and failing is learning.

Your guide is correct but I assumed that I could resolve any missing pieces flashing Z2121_CN_OPEN_USER_Q00030.1_O_ZUI_4.0.247_ST_181017_qpst with TWRP, because TWRP was not throwing any error.

I did flash it with QFIL and everything after is just following your guidance.

My bad by not doing it earlier, before coming here, but I don't have Windows at hand and QFIL with VM is tricky while passing the USB device.

You guys rock, long live to those who share.

Take care.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pringau:
Hi, issues found:

SELinux shows Disabled. I believe this is the reason why I can't get some banks to work and get Failed on SafetyNet Status. getenforce says permissive, if I try to setenforce 1 the device shuts down.

Hotspot doesn't seem to work. It switches On and changes to Off and it says Error in the status.

Selecting second SIM Card seems impossible while texting SMS. If set to Ask every time SMS won't send saying No preferred SIM selected for sending SMS messages (weird, found the same in other ROMs - why Android 11 has Ask every time if it is not usable). I later found that to select a different card you should touch the name of the card (on the left of the circles) and not the numbered circle itself - which was what I was doing in LineageOS 15.1 if I remember correctly.

View attachment 5530489​

Gave it a try to ArrowOS 11 (official), hotspot bug was also there.

Jumped to AOSPExtended 8.4 (official) and no bugs found so far, hotspot working, banks working and ZUK Z2 PRO key working out of the box.

[EDIT] AOSPExtended 8.4 (official) has some bugs. Will try AOSPExtended 9 once there is a version without gapps.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Barkuti:
Hello!

I'm right now following this guide on my device, and I get the following errors when trying to flash Arrow v11 using TWRP:

Updating partition details...

Failed to mount '/vendor' (Invalid argument)

...done

…

Patching vendor image unconditionally...

E2001: Failed to update vendor image.

Updater process ended with ERROR: 1

Error installing zip file '/sdcard/.Z2 Pro OS & system files/Arrow-v11.0-z2_row-OFFICIAL-20200919-VANILLA.zip'

Updating partition details...

Failed to mount '/vendor' (Invalid argument)

...done

So well, there's something wrong with my partitioning, I mean, there's no /vendor partition in my device, or the problem is there for some other reason. How can I fix this? By installing factory2vendor.zip? 0K, done; didn't work at all.

I need to somehow manage to flash Z2121_CN_OPEN_USER_Q00030.1_O_ZUI_4.0.247_ST_181017_qpst, then. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thaynos:
After attempting to format as internal using the preinstalled files app, my SD card is no longer recognized by my device…

I believe it is now completely corrupt, as even Windows is unable to read it after attempting to use an SD card adapter. It's not even listed in the disk management program…

Please help as i was dependent on my sd card as i only have 16gb on this device...
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Use a low level formatting app to make it readable again.

You can also try accessing it directly* in Windows>Disk management, scan for new devices option.

Windows however may not be able to format it as it has been corrupted.

I don't recommend using the SD card like that; it's bandwidth is much slower than the internal memory and will noticeably slow down the device. If possible put all data on the SD card, only apps and maybe the download folder go on internal memory.

*this is the best way to access drives. You can do transfers directly from this Window to/from other drives.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thaynos:
The issue is that it does not appear in disk management at all, so I can't do anything you suggest. What is a low-level formatting app, and what does it do?

As I previously stated, I attempted to make my SD card internal storage because apps would not move to the SD card even after rooting the device and using app2sd. Using app2sd simply redirected me to the app options page, where I was told to go to storage and move to the SD card, despite the fact that there was no such option. This "not finding move to SD card" issue is unique to the Crdroid; in stock ROM, it worked flawlessly.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
If the file structure gets corrupted it can render the card unreadable.

Go the the card manufacturer to see if they a low level formatting utility. Here's some more , but I haven't used them, scan download with online Virustotal first to be safe. Lexar may have one it's a memory recovery app but it probably low level formats.

I never saw a card get so corrupted that you couldn't see on Disk Management. It may be DOA.

Check Event Viewer for error messages but first reboot and try another PC port.

Check the driver in hardware management, try to update it or roll it back.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thaynos:
If by DOA u mean is dead on arrival, it worked flawlessly before this. I have a SanDisk device. I'll try the formatting utility. Furthermore, I'm pretty sure the file structure is unreadable, and it is now fully corrupted…

Coming to think about it, i remember getting a Java error or something, but it was one of the disappearing notifs that appear at the bottom of the screen so i couldn't capture it…
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Try another card. If you can recover the victim card depends on if failure is hardware related.

Cards normally don't spontaneously go corrupt* so at this point even if you do recover it, I wouldn't trust it.

Once I have a SD card in a phone I leave it there and only access through the phone. Always format a new card in the phone before using.

Cards can be damaged by ESD, static electricity.

Avoid touching its contacts. On dry days touch an earth ground immediately before handling the card. If damaged by ESD it may manifest itself immediately or days, weeks or even years latter.

While they have some internal ESD protection it's limited, so a big enough charge or repeated ESD insults can destroy it.

This is the biggest threat to flash memory. Near lightning strikes can also destroy them by magnetic and/or capacitive induction.

*Don't share use in other devices like cams without formatting in that device first. That can cause file corruption.

the point of asking for advice is cuz i dont have another card :(
