Unlocked bootloader using Pixel Flasher rooted using Magisk but the OEM option is not greyed out or it doesn't read Bootloader is unlocked

Did I do something wrong?
[Google Pixel 7] andybones:
You don't want it greyed out.

-- This would mean you cannot unlock the bootloader.
[Google Pixel 7] simplepinoi177:
Actually, I found at various different times, sometimes it's greyed out while being checked/enabled, and sometimes it's selectable... I never did figure out how/why it would change intermittently...

I believe initially it was greyed out when I first unlocked the bootloader...
[Google Pixel 7] legaldexter:
One assumption is that either USNF-Mod or some other module enables it to hide unlocked bootloader from apps that include root check.
[Google Pixel 7] manjaroid:
Interesting... With two different Pixels with unlocked bootloaders, OEM unlocking is currently selectable on one (rooted + USNF-Mod) but greyed out on the other (not rooted).
[Google Pixel 7] don_dolarson:
On both of my phones recently flashed with latest LineageOS 20 - OnePlus 5T and Pixel 7, the OEM unlocking is switched to the right, greyed out and an info about bootloader already being unlocked. No option to switch it off.

I've a third phone, also OP5T, with stock OOS Oreo 8.1 installed, rooted and unlocked, and the switch is also to the right but option is NOT greyed out and can be switched. It happened a couple of times that I accidentally switched this off while scrolling through dev settings but switched immediately back on and nothing break up. Maybe it's a security "feature" to be greyed out?
[Google Pixel 7] 41rw4lk:
Some roms, lineage being one of them greys out oem unlocking even when enabled. I believe the reason for this is because you're running a custom rom and re-locking would not be in your best interest. A safeguard I would assume.

I'm pretty sure if you run this command it should un-grey oem unlocking and let you toggle it again, though you shouldn't toggle it lol.

adb root
adb shell setprop ro.oem_unlock_supported 1

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] rgrimjr39:
Hi guys,

I recently purchased a Pixel 4xl and absolutely love it so far. I managed to install lineageos, magisk, and LSPosed. It took me a little while to get things working as I am new to root etc. I am basically learning as I go.

I am getting bored with lineageos. I would like to try some other ROMs out. Is there an easier way to flash custom ROMs instead of using a PC? I my video card in my PC bit the dust so I am waiting for a replacement.

Thanks,

Rocky

Flash TWRP. Download ROM.zip on the phone and put it in a known place.

TWRP always allows flash custom ROM, while recovery from lineage - not always.

hi this is my first post so please be gentle:).

right looking around the net i stumbeled across this http://bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer/iplayer.wgz its basically the Nokia Installer for the Iplayer and ive managed to extract the files from it as it just a renamed .zip file. the file contains Java which could be modified to run on a windows device I think? i thought i would post my findings and im sorry if this has been posted before, i did a quick search and the forum and couldnt find this.
[XPERIA X1 General] guru_fordy:

thanks for that at45, but which one should i d/l?
[XPERIA X1 General] guru_fordy:
Doesn't beebHack only allow you to download the content thats meant for the iPhone (H264 encoded)? There are no streaming options yet but you can download anything on a PC and then watch on your X1.
[XPERIA X1 General] artesea:
If you can navigate through the various XML files you should be able to find the N96 stream, however I can't even get the first file to open anymore.

Another possible option would be to change the UserAgent of Opera to the one of the Wii and then view the Flash 9 stream.

The only problem I have is that I can't even get YouTube to work in Opera (black/green bars) so I can't test it.
[XPERIA X1 General] artesea:
Success! (sort off).

I managed to trick the iPlayer into thinking I'm a Nintendo Wii

useragent: Opera/9.10 (Nintendo Wii; U; ; 1621; en)

however the flash file never played, just the spining bit in the middle.

However I worked my way through the XML files and have pulled out the N96 wifi stream for last nights Buzzcocks.

You should be able to run it in Streaming Media

rtsp://3gp-acl.bbc.co.uk:554/3gpclip/iPlayer/wifi_5273445027664925946.3gp

(note this link will stop working on the 4th Dec).

If I get a chance over the weekend, I might build a webpage which will auto link to the Real stream.
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:

Solved And Working

SOLVED AND WORKING

After spending all morning working on a script to strip out the list of shows and creating a nice gui, I discovered the really really easy way whilst scanning some javascript code.

The iPlayer uses a UserAgent lookup to work out which version to display. eg iPhone, N96 or bugger off, however they have now added support for the Samsung I900.

All you need to do is place this into your UserAgent in Opera.

sgh-i900

These are the steps for an X1i Vodafone UK Branded

Run Opera

In the address bar enter opera:config (no http://)

Scroll down to User Prefs and click

Scroll down to Customer User-Agent and at the end of the pre-filled text add sgh-i900

Scroll down some more and press Save. You will get a prompt which suggests you may need to reset the phone, but for this you don't.

Now point your browser to http://www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer/ and enjoy.

The quality isn't exactly great on a WVGA screen as it's been built for the Nokia N96. According to beebhack these are the specs

Access Method: RTSP streaming

Video Codec: H.264

Video Resolution: 320 x 176

Video Bitrate: 128 kbps

Audio Codec: AAC

Audio Bitrate: 64 kbps

Overall Bitrate: 192 kbps

ps if you get a BBC 502 error, don't worry. Looks like they are playing about with the site themselves. Just try again later.
[XPERIA X1 General] SamAsQ:
wow thankyou I can confirm it works flawessly! I agree the quality isnt that great but I find the flash type resolution bearable. However I just opened a couple episodes of top gear and they open in the streaming media program (is this right?). also i noticed that a lot of frames are being skipped which pretty much makes it impossible to watch, as every other sentance is cut out :( im guessing about 20 frames dropped every two seconds. anyone else seeing this?
[XPERIA X1 General] artesea:
Yup it runs in the HTC streamed app. The quality isn't great, but hopefully the BBC will play about a bit more with the codecs.
[XPERIA X1 General] at45:
Nice. But surely it's the iPhone stream we want access to?
[XPERIA X1 General] CobbyJ:
all i get when i go to that site is please switch to wifi??
[XPERIA X1 General] artesea:
That's because the Beeb don't want you complaining when your network bill you at £2/mb for watching Top Gear.

Have noticed that it's working fine with my Vodafone R2A rom over wifi and i've made no changes to opera:config or the registry
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Ok guys i need some help with this. I don't get what i have to do. Do i have to do something with that file .wgz on the first page? When i enter the settings in the opera:config and then point it to bcc i get the "phone not supported message"????????????????????
[XPERIA X1 General] artesea:
Nope, there is no need for any files to be downloaded.

The iPlayer is now using php and User-Agent lookups.

Visit www.whatsmyuseragent.com (on the X1) and report back with what it says yours is.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Um...the user agent is "sgh-i900". I typed it again and it works now but when i get to the page and i click on a video i get:

1 - "Sorry, this programme is currently unavailable to stream"

or

2 - The streaming media app opens and says connecting. After a couple of minutes it says "unable to connect".

I wanna buy a fire TV stick at ebay but I dont know, witch fire TV stick is supported by lineageOS.

Anybody knows, witch stick I should buy?
[Fire TV General] Sus_i:
The fireTV Lite stick and the 3rd fireTV Stick are lineageOS supported (unofficial), but amaz. doesn't like this somehow and patch/fix all vulnerable sticks just in the factory (all new sticks) or via updates as soon as internet access is aviable (all older sticks out there). Chance to get a vulnerable stick is still good, if you go into a store or shop and look for the serial number on the sealed boxes (compare serials). Goal is to find a low serial, i.e. old stock.

Hi guys,

I had a raspberry pi 4b given to me because the owner could not get it to work. I am not sure what they did to it or what they tried. If I can get it to work I would like to use it for an Android tv box or something. The person i got it from said whatever is causing the problem caused it right out of the box.

I purchased an official power cord and charger for it as well as an HDMI cable. When I plug it into my monitor I get a bunch of green blinking lights. It is hard to count how many times. Then I get solid green and red lights. Can anyone offer any suggestions on what I can try to get it working?

Thank you,

Did anyone try installing revanced manager on the P7P? Get it working?

I installed the manager and it doesn't seem to see when I patch the youtube apk. It goes through the process of patching the youtube apk. I installed using non-root methods and when I try to open the newly installed apk that revanced patches, it just sits on a black screen.

When I tried installing with the root method, the apk is not visible in the app drawer.

EDIT: Confirmed working, many different ways... Revanced builder using Windows, revanced builder using android, rooted and non-rooted. Rooted using revanced manager. Rooted using magisk module.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I didn't use the manager, I used the builder and that was fine.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] rester555:
Do you have a link to the builder and method you used?

Did you use the android phone method or windows injection method of builder?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] rester555:
I think I found my problem. When using the revanced manager, they don't recommend using dpi related apks or split apks but installing a no dpi apk instead. If you do, they say it causes issues of not loading.

I used this one.

CONFIRMED working with vanced manager, root method with youtube 17.36.37 no dpi version downloaded from 3rd party site.

Weird. I am not rooted. Guess the builder just works better.

Agreed, they have been working on the builder much longer than the manager.

I'm having problems with this using revanced manager. patches ok and installs ok (root), works fine for a bit, then starts to crash on start. any clues?

magisk module seems to work but includes the "theme" patch which gives it a black theme rather than dark.

Download the non dpi version of the app. Don't get the multi APK version.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
just for anyone else following this later, I sorted this out. I actually have youtube premiere because it's the only way to have no adverts on the chromecast. so I think some of the no advert patches might have been conflicting. so I just applied the bare minimum patches I wanted, swipe gestures sponsor block and remember resolution, after that it was fine.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ahsene:
I fixed the problem in root version

1/ install ur patch (as root, so u don't need to allow microg )

2/ install as root (close the app without oppening youtube)

3/ go to magisk and configure deny list

4/ do like that in pic and restart ur device

5/ run youtube without any problem 😉

I have not been able to find the software in the search other than the link pointing to the ftp... and any of the nbh files I have found are not for the Hermes.

So if anyone:

1: Has the software for me to make one

2: Or has already created one

3: Or knows that a Trinity splash nbh will work

I would appreciate it! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
dunno if the trinity one would work.. might be worth a try.. just use the nbh tool to join the splash.nb's and give it a try.

You can also try searching for a tool:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vwkess:
lol, well the trinity one just bricked it but I got it up again with mtty.:D

For future reference for anyone trying this: Before I tried the trinity nbh I extracted the files with nbhextract and it also converted the nb to bmp. They were the correct image size and had the correct file size as well, so I just created a new nbh using those nb files with nbhgen. Didn't go so well as it bricked! So tried creating a new one in case the file was corrupt, no good, still brick! :p

Saw your updated post and found the nbimg tool (I was just searching specifically for the nb_image_converter.exe tool from the wiki before, lol should have done a more generic search!) I created new nb files from the extracted bmp files. Now everything was the same as the original nb files (as far as I can tell) except the file name now had an extension of .bmp.nb. Updated the txt file and created a new nbh with nbhgen using these files, flashed and voila, it worked!

Don't know why the trinity nb files didn't work as they looked the same.:confused:

But at any rate, thanks for the link! I have attached the file if anyone is looking for a HTC main and sub splash for their Hermes (both the main and sub look the same as the pic in the first post).

Tools used:

NBHextract - used it to extract bmp files from another model nbh boot splash

nbimg - converted those bmp files to new nb files

nbhgen - created the nbh file to flash

Are you going to limit your charge to 80% or do trust that 100% charges won't harm your battery?

There's well known science that backs charging your battery too high and often will degrade it's lifespan.

But there's also the argument that phones now have smart charging and similar to EVs when the phone hits 100% on its display the charge is still only really around 80% of true capacity.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
There's no way manufacturers are sacrificing that much of our battery life with how much we all gripe about it.

I use AccuBattery with an 85% alarm. That seems to be good enough for me.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] NCVol:
I'm trying to limit my charging. I rooted my P7P yesterday but haven't been able to get charging limits to work with AccA. I'm using the 2022-6-4 version of AccA right now. Does anyone know a working method to limit charging that is persistent? I'm not going to redo something with every reboot.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Namelesswonder:
Try out putting chargingSwitch=(gcpm/constant_charge_current_max 4000000 0 --) in /data/adb/vr25/acc-data/config.txt

It's been rock solid for me on my Pixel 6 Pro. You might have to run acc and test the available switches, it could've changed with the Pixel 7.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] NCVol:
What does this do? Limit the charge current to 4000 mA? I like learning what things do.

Which build of ACC are you using?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Namelesswonder:
Same build of ACC as you, and yes the that is 4A, rhe number is in microamps. This only sets the max charging current initially, it will try to readjust so you need to also set the maxChargingCurrent to whatever you want but that variable is based on milliamps.

I use 600000 and 600 for 600mA on my Pixel 6 Pro and it is a slow and steady charge. Worked out good on drives because it would hold my battery steady during navigation and didn't generate a lot of heat.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] schmeggy929:
I just charge the phone to 100%. Take it off and use it. Never in my life did a battery fail, extreme degrade or fail to charge. No apps needed to monitor the battery either. Charging a battery to only 80% makes absolutely no sense. Over charging a battery and number of charge cycles eventually kills batteries. You charge a battery to only 80% vs someone who charges to 100%, who is going to have more charge cycles after a year?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] NCVol:
To each his own but I think you have the concept of a charge cycle wrong. The last 20% is more of a charge cycle than the first 80%.
