[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jdkzombie:
Who knows.

I'm willing to throw money towards a bounty that removes Verizons strangle hold on devices. I don't mind their service, and the signal is good where I live, but I like customization. And I'd love to try some new kernals to change up the CPU scheduler and power plans to stop the phone from bringing the 4 big cores online for casual use.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] grandzu:
Just get the unlocked version and use with Verizon service. What's the upside with having the Verizon variant?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jdkzombie:
Because it's not that simple. You can't swappa sell a phone you're making any payments towards. And the phone is too new for trade in with another carrier of any type.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] zetsumeikuro:
VZW variants have been locked since the OG Pixel days aside from that small window before taking an OTA you could unlock if it was on a certain version. Sadly I don't see this changing anytime soon and if you want to unlock BL and root get the unlocked version from the Google Store. There's really little incentive buying Pixels from Verizon now. With Pixel Pass and Google Store financing those are good options if you can't drop all the money up front.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Guyinlaca:
Just buy the unlocked model. Some retailers have awesome trade in deals coming from the 6 series or iPhones. It works just as well on Verizon and avoids the 36 month committment.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I hate how Verizon shuts down the option for unlocking the bootloader and rooting, but it is easier to purchase a device from them because your payments will coincide with your regular monthly cell bill, you already pass the credit check when you open an account with them (no need to apply for one with Google Synchrony Financing), and I just went through with this with my wife's phone but unless you qualify enough to cover the Pixel (my wife qualified for the Pixel 7, not the P7P at the storage capacity we wanted), you're stuck paying all (up to $1400 [P7P 512GB w/ 2 year protection & tax]) up front -- where there's virtually no risk of this if you purchase through Verizon (they want to lock you in to years-long contract and you already passed the credit check)! So there's (some of) the benefits....

*but it's still more worth it beyond any of these "benefits" to get it from Google Store unlocked....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bs3pro:
Lol. Here's a simple solution. Buy the unlocked version. Who changes carriers because of a bl lock? WTF?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] shiftr182:
At this point I think we all know that Verizon isn't going to unlock the Bootloader. if you want an unlocked bootloader, it is easier, and more guaranteed to just buy the unlocked version from Google vs trying to find vulnerabilities in the bootloader and having to worry about it being patched each month.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] andygold:
Not sure if this is still in effect, but many years ago, if you purchased an unlocked phone instead of the Verizon branded one, WiFi calling wouldn't work. I'm not sure if there was something missing from the phone that Verizon needed to make it happen, or if Verizon was just screwing over those who purchased unlocked versions.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
it's working perfectly fine with my device....it also worked with my Pixel 5 (also unlocked variant from Google Store)....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
That is precisely the reason, well, and billing that I switched to T-Mobile. And the better cell signal
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wr3cckl3ss1:
The two java applets that control this are...

oem_lock

persistent.data.block

Typing "cmd -l" in shell...and you can see that both services are running....starting with oem_lock....sending a few service calls...you'll come to see that it points to persistent.data.block......and sending a few more service calls....you'll see that it points to GMS...Play Services...because that's the only package that has any OEM reading and/or managing capabilities....the only problem is...finding a hole...big enough to... overwrite (like what DirtyPipe did) a read only system file....or somehow repacking an OTA with a patched init_boot.img and see where it can go...and if all fails....I'm going to say DirtyCred (pending PoC release)...should be good enough to pop a root shell...but only if....u don't continue to keep updating your firmware....the older...the better....but as i don't follow the source code or patches that Google releases...it's very hard to tell when they would patch Dirty Cred....or if it's already patched fully on their new baby...the Pixel 7 Pro. But I'm hopeful to keep hammering it out. It's just right now with work and the holidays...my time is super limited and right now...I'm split with both this phone and the S22 Ultra S908U. The S22 Ultra is where I'm advancing pretty good and day by day....it's coming closer to another way in or another level of privilege. But best believe once I'm in the s22....it should be pretty easy...pulling the packages for oem_block and persistent.data.block (s22 falls under same umbrella) and learning how it works and what makes it stay in place.

***Anyone know any Magisk devs...no not John Wu? Got a couple logs...maybe someone can interpret and help me out to figure what I'm reading and what's missing***
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wr3cckl3ss1:
It's only as simple as those who have the money and shell out hundreds and hundred of dollars...but I do agree with you on some parts. Me....i had the option for either buying outright....thru any carrier...or even Google. But I like a challenge and i do like everything I'm learning and building a good database of knowledge doesn't hurt one bit. But I'll definitely be quick to say...this is absolutely not easy especially coming from simple adb commands and following a guide to hands on reading and reading lines and lines of source code and cross referencing what you can find available.

During the upgrade of my ipaq hx2410 with (WM2003se-> WM5 1.00.00L -> WM5 1.00.00H -> WM5 1.00.02H ->WM 6) procedure my device has lost some asset info. To be more precise, Serial #: and Model ID: fields in HP Asset viewer are blank. It has happend probably somewhere between WM5 1.00.00H and WM5 1.00.02H. Now my ipaq is not able to comunicate with Activesync (4.5) or HP flasher. Although it is properly recognisable by system drivers, every attend to connect ends with endless loop of Activesync or freeze of HP flasher. Even in pre bl. mode i get an invalid SKU message or freeze.

I’m able to cheat the HP flasher by hotswapping the ipaq with an identical (WM6) unit and upload whatever rom I want. Only downgrade to 2003SE results with proper communication with Activesync (4.5). .... but it doesn’t help with asset info recovery.

Can anybody help?

Hi

I have a problem with my new Pixel 7 and my car. When conected won't play music automatically. I have to start manually. Previous mobile did it without any problems. What can I do?
[Google Pixel 7] corsaair:
You'll need an external app, Pixels doesn't have autoplay feature.

for example Bluetooth Autoplay Music, Poweramp EQ...
[Google Pixel 7] sic0048:
Perhaps it depends on the music app? Spotify will start playing for me automatically when I turn my car on and the phone connects to it's bluetooth.

On a Pixel 7 currently (stock ROM, not rooted).
[Google Pixel 7] Mohinder1971:
I finaly installed Bluetooth Connect and Play app. Works fine and is free.

My Pixel is also on stock rom and not rooted.
[Google Pixel 7] terry274:
I believe there is a checkbox in Android auto settings to allow auto start of music.
[Google Pixel 7] Mohinder1971:
Of course, it is, bu not working in my case.

I bought a new phone, that comes with Android 12, it has an amoled display (moto G42), but notifications keep waking up the screen (the always on display). Before updating the OS there was an option to disable that and it worked, after updating the option is gone, and it's annoying the hell out of me, it even wakes for silent notifications, does anyone know how to disable that?

I've rooted the phone in hopes to enable doubletap to wake and disable completely the AOD but the kernel does not support it.

TIA

Hey all,

I upgraded to 13 when it was released in the US... Oddly no issues. 5 days ago I did a factory reset on the device now the issues start.... I can connect to WiFi outside of enterprise (home network, hotspots etc...) without issues, Enterprise wifi is a totally different story.... The system i am trying to connect to is PEAP MSVCHAPv2...

On the device it gives me a Timed out on the log server for wifi im getting

TLS Handshake failed in SSL_read with error:14094412:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert bad certificate

eap-tls: Error in establishing TLS session

Reset all of the network connects re-reset to factory and installed the cert from the wireless.... still no luck.. any ideas?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] TheNewHEROBRINE:
Can you share the certificate? It may be the problem
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] zour1el:
The cert isn't on my phone. Not being pulled down. Even when I was on 12 it was setup to use system certs and not verify.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Rootk1t:
Seems to be some kind of incompability with your enterprise and Android13.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] zour1el:
That's what I be was afraid of...Aruba and Android 13 not happy with each other... I am guessing there was enough Android 12 was still in cache after upgrade that allowed it to work... But died after factory reset
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] R0B3RTF1SH3R:
I had a weird issue where after upgrading I couldn't click next, after selecting start(welcome screen) and gets stuck in a boot loop when I press screen touches excessively.. or left idle for 30 seconds. Had to factory reset, I couldn't find a way to clear cache as I don't think it's dalvik. Isn't it art?

Anyway. Annoying bug.

[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] douteiful:
Hi,

I have 3 spes devices, two are 2201117TL (manufactured in July) and one is 2201117TG (manufactured in January).

What's the difference between all the spes models (2201117TG, 2201117TI, 2201117TY, 2201117TL)? Just manufacture date or do they have differences?
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Vagelis1608:
As far as I know ( and I could be wrong ), it's only the manufacturing date ( batch? )

Spesn has nfc, spes doesn't
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Alex Zander-kun:
It could also be the country variant. Like the 2201117TG, G is for Global, while for the 2201117TI, the I could be India or Indonesia (?)

As for differences, one thing for sure is the version of MIUI it has. Because there's like a ton of versions of MIUI for this phone, like Indian, Indonesian, Turkey or Russian ROM
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Vagelis1608:
Hmm, yeah that's very likely.

Like I said, I don't know for sure.
[Android Head-Units] innye95:
Here you have recovery files I got from chinese store AUTOTOP when asked from another account (on which they havent blocked me)

Android 8.1 with "bmw os 1.09"

BMW-8227L_demo.zip

drive.google.com

There are instructions how to proceed recovery but shortly: You have to format pendrive to fat32 and put folder CKXUPG on it. Like for example E:\CKXUPG\~files that are in CKXUPG~. Then You should plug that pendrive in one of USB cables from radio (I dont remember which one, I tried both till success). There is a reset button on left side of radio that you can use for trying another cable, you dont need to unplug car battery or whatsoever

There is no newer version than Android 8.1. All androids 8+ works worse than this one and are faked androids 10....

I also have version of "bmw os 1.26 with fake android 10":

BMWID6_OS_1.26--10.0.zip

drive.google.com

and version "bmw os 1.31" but I think i didnt manage to update to that version:

XRC_BMW_OS_1.31.zip

drive.google.com

p.s. from what I remember if everything is OK there should be some console output running in left top corner right few seconds after booting. If it doesnt happen you get stuck on bootlogo and have to reset device.

BTW. dont try to use Media button or "Your BMW tab" untill you configure headunit in factory settings (few times click on android version and then inserting 8888 code. If you dont have CCC/CIC and you selected wrong options the headunit is trying to display signal from CCC/CIC and you're basically stuck.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DJRepresent:
Had a hell of a time speaking with T-Mobile representatives these last couple of days. Everyone has a different opinion on what I need to do to unlock my S22 Ultra. Just today a guy recommended I download the T-Mobile Device Unlock app off the Play store and it said the following:

"Your device is currently permantently unlocked and allowed to be used with any carrier. Restart your device to apply these changes if your device was previously locked." Yet I do that and it remains locked.

Anyone else had this experience? Not sure what I can do short of returning it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] V0latyle:
If you're talking about OEM Unlocking, that is completely separate from carrier lock, and there's little the carrier can do about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DJRepresent:
The device is networked locked to T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] KOLIOSIS:
Are you the original owner?

Has the phone been paid off?

Are you currently running T-Mobile firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DJRepresent:
No, I'm not. There was apparently someone before me. The phone is paid off and I do believe there isn't any custom firmware on it and I went through a series of updates since getting the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] KOLIOSIS:
If this indeed is a T-Mobile phone, you shouldn't need the T-Mobile unlock app. Just look around in Settings > Connections & look around for SIM unlock, network unlock or something along those lines (I'm running US unlocked firmware XAA, so, I don't have the unlock in my settings, otherwise, I'd be able to give you the exact terminology).

Anyway, once you've found it, you should be able to check for the SIM Unlock. If it says you're unlocked & you're still having issues, I'd call customer service.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DJRepresent:
I know that. I've been on the phone with them for over two hours already. I asked them to put in a request to unlock it given the previous owner's contract and filed a complaint with the FCC. The phone SHOULD be eligibile for unlocking but the carrier is just being stubborn.

[Google Pixel 7] Xenotium:
It's just a GPU compute benchmark, stuff that does not really matter that much in day to day use or in games. GPU in Tensor G2 has less cores, but they are good amount more capable for raster rendering, so the whole GPU shouldn't be worse for 3D rendering, from what I know.

I agree with xenotium. SOC's today are so fast and specialized that even the mid-level ones can do most of the work most people need done. Benchmarks just don't mean much for average everyday use.

I'm I doing something wrong?
[Google Pixel 6a] Kerrylee1738$$$:
Bootloader is unlocked. I actually did that part correct
[Google Pixel 6a] Lughnasadh:
Try...

fastboot flash boot <nameofpatchedbootimage>

Also, you can find a rooting guide here. It will work for the 6a as well. There is also a 6a forum.
[Google Pixel 6a] Kerrylee1738$$$:
It gave a unknown file error. Is there a certain file that everything should be in?
[Google Pixel 6a] Lughnasadh:
The way I do it is put the patched boot image in my Platform Tools folder (latest version of course), open command prompt from the Platform Tools folder and flash it.

Thanks I found a pixel flasher on here that helped with the rooting process.

Did you copy the file called "patched_magisk.img" into the folder you launched adb.exe from? You either have to have it in the same folder, or call the file using its path (eg. "c:\users\admin\desktop\patched_magisk.img")

I did so, turned off ActiveSync, started ttermpro (shows device is SuperCID), formatted BINFS (ok), restarted device, skipped step 10 (WM6GSMUpdate) and in the step 11, after I have enabled ActiveSync, I cannot establish connection with ROMUpdateUtility.

I can however establish connection with ttermpro, can do format BINFS, tried hard reset, nothing helps.
