Question: Is your Pixel Carrier Locked?

It's my first post leave some comments if you find it helpful...

I was using a Linux box with a BLU oem USB c charger.. wait till the battery percentage shows 0% or 1% hold the volume down button while pressing the power button just get to the bootloader and 🙏..

Once your able to connect it using fastboot... Either use fastboot reboot recovery or select it from the boot menu..

Download the platform tools from Google.. also the latest OTA for your device.. extract the zip to a your Desktop then toss the compressed OTA... In that folder open terminal or cmd... Run adb sideload OTA.zip..

Reboot one more time to manually enter recovery WIPE DATA nd Factory Reset..

Reboot back to bootloader fastboot reboot sideload or reenter recovery>apply OTA from adb..

Adb devices should return device and sideload... Issues the command adb sideload OTA.zip one last time... Nd your back in business... My friend

Hi, I have a Podofo 7" stereo with 2gb, single din. Trying to install in a 2009 BMW 128i. I only bought it to have steering wheel controls. No steering wheel controls. Axxess tech support tells me that the ASWC-1 is not supported when using off brand Chinese head units. I have a Scosche wiring harness. I'm not able to get the Axxess unit to work. Is there a way to get rid of the Axxess adapter completely, and just program the head unit to communicate with the BMW canbus?

Thanks,

Jimmy
[Android Head-Units] wotii098:
This kind of adapter is supossed to work with professional audio brand such as Pioneer, JVC, kenwood etc. where device only accepts analog signal.

The best and the simplest solution is to buy complete new harness with canbus adapter dedicated for android head units and your car.

Something like this will do the job:

But make sure what type of plug is in your stereo and car harness. And canbus adapter too..

I bought simillar for my bmw x5 and works fine. beside stering wheel controls it provides open-door alerts (and trunk ) and simple data such as vehicle speed, revs, milage, temperature.

Hello!

I have been trying now for 3 days to convert my video files to H.264 with AAC sound on my Ubuntu 8.10 machine, but I can do whatever I want - these files do not run with the build in Media Player. The sound is ok, but there is no picture.

I have tried it with AVIDEMUX and Handbrake (MPEG-4 AVC (x264)).

Do not ask what I did the rest of the 3 days, I tried to compile FFMPEG, X264 and Transcode, which did not work out ... I start to hate Ubuntu.

I could upload a small file for analysis if needed.

Thank you all!

[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
what setting are you using?

these are supposed to be the best results

Video are encoded into 640x360 1008kbit/s

Sound into aac 128kbit/s

what about trying mencoder? I've not tried Handbrake, but use avidemux quite a bit.
[XPERIA X1 General] kmac27:
Hello Fards,

thank you for the quick reply, I have tried a lot of settings of course before posting here, I have tried everything from 320x220 - 480x260, with bitrates from 300 - 800.

I will give mencoder a try. Let's see.

I give up on this issue - will wait for my new computer which will arrive on christmas maybe I will switch back to windows or debian then.

But I noticed something strange ... I was only fouling a little bit around and encoded my testfile to MPEG-4 ASP (Xvid4) 320x240 at 800KBit and this file is playing in the Windows Media Player on the X1. I thought XVID is not supported by the xperia x1 native without coreplayer or something like this.

[OnePlus 11] Roongx:
Anyone have wifi dropping off and reconnecting after flashing to oxygen os?

I seem to keep experiencing this.

Anyone have any fix?
[OnePlus 11] jinglei207:
I haven't yet encountered wifi problem. I flashed the ota eu rom.
[OnePlus 11] qriozum:
In fact, I brought up the problem with WiFi performance on the OP11 a few weeks ago.

The OP8Pro and OP11 were lying next to each other, the band first 2.4GHz then 5GHz.

The OP8Pro was laughing all the way, the OP11 had a problem, it was throttling.

I changed the channels in the 5GHz band in the router.

It improved after this procedure and WiFi in OP11 is already working as-is ;)
[OnePlus 11] Roongx:
no idea but i keep having my wifi dropping off on my phone for some reason, thinking whether it is because of my flashing to oxygen os
[OnePlus 11] jinglei207:
Maybe it's because OnePlus 11 is not compatible with your router and it's shifting from 2.4 to 5ghz and viceversa all the time?
[OnePlus 11] Roongx:
i was thinking also but then again if i keep to 2.4, it get disconnected as well and connect back
[OnePlus 11] qriozum:
Try changing the channel in the router.

Install a free app to "scan WiFi bands" and choose the least noisy channel.
[OnePlus 11] Roongx:
i was thinking of messing with my router, but if my other device including my girlfriends phone doesnt get disconnect. it should boil down to the phone?
[Nothing Phone 1] fackstrot:
Hello, the phone periodically takes permissions for the file system from the gallery and video player mx, a window pops up to give permissions on a new one. But after some time it completely selects, these applications do not see any photos or videos, I give all permissions, I install applications on a new one, nothing helps .. I even did a hard reset of the phone because of this. The problem is back. Firmware official A13
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] vajnorcan:
Hi,

during the update the phone got stuck, daughter restarted couple of times but it always got to the 76%, hang there and then restarted itself in the endless loop.

I've tried the the hard reset (Power+VolUP) and it got to the screen saying "No Command". Then I pressed the same combo again to get to the bootloader and tried the wipe / reset. During that process I got the error message "E: Can't send SPI message. Try again" and then it said it was successful, but rebooting did nothing, got stuck in the restart loop.

So I've done the research and wanted to to upload the OTA update, have done that but that didn't do anything.

So I've found some articles on how to upload the stock rom/image but I'm unable to do so as sending adb commands is disabled due to the phone being LOCKED. I've learned that the USB debugging needs to be enabled, however I'm unable to get into the OS to set it up, so found this article:

How to enable USB Debugging in Android using recovery mode?

One million questions, Is it possible to Enable USB Debugging in Android Using Recovery Mode or any other technique? Well, the answer is Yes! It is now

www.isrgrajan.com

which outlines the following steps (in summary):

Download the Stock ROM for your device- Google it, I am dam sure you can find it. [DONE]

Download SuperSU from UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip [DONE][looks pretty old though]

Steps to Enable USB Debugging Using Recovery Mode

Unzip the stock ROM. [DONE]

Within the extracted folder, you will find the system.img well extract it too using Ext4 Unpacker [DONE but plenty of folder are empty, but eventually plentu of APK along]

Also, extract the Update-SuperSU.v1.65.zip file. [DONE, again, looks pretty old]

Now open the folder where you have extracted the system.img files [DONE]

Grab any .apk file from this folder and change the extension from .apk to .zip [PROBLEM: the apks are all over the shop. Which APK shall I pick up?]

And Copy the RSA Certificated to the Update-SuperSU.v1.65 folder (delete previous files if exist) [PROBLEM: unable to find any "RSA Certificated" like files once I open ANY apk]

Also, copy the build.prop to the system folder located within Update-SuperSU.v1.65 folder [BLOCKED by previous step]

Locate the update-script file within this folder and edit it using Notepad++ [BLOCKED by previous step]

You need to update the build.prop file after adding the following line at the bottom [BLOCKED by previous step]

persist.service.adb.enable=1

Next step is updating SQLite Database [WHERE would I do this step?]

Which can be done by adding the following code to the update-script file

sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "UPDATE global SET value=1 WHERE name='adb_enabled'"

What would I do then? How to actually apply the changes back to the phone?

Does anyone know of better / latest step by step process of enabling / unlocking the device or is my device now completely and unrepairably bricked?

Thank you.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Renate:
For a while (since when, I don't know) persistent properties are not shared as individual files in /data/property.

They are all packed inside /data/property/persistent_properties.

Try setprop instead.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] vajnorcan:

I've tried the steps but I'm crashing on sending any commands to the device. While I'm in the recovery, I see the following details and options:

```

Android Recovery

google/blueline/blueline

12/SP1A.210812.016.B2/8602260

user/release-keys

Use volume up/down and power

Warning: Previous installation has failed. Your device may fail to boot if you reboot or power off now

- Reboot system now

- Reboot to bootloader

- Enter Fastboot

- Apply Update from ADB

- Apply update from SD card

- Wipe data/factory reset

- Mount /system

- View recovery logs

- Run Graphics Test

- Run Locale Test

- Power Off

```

where I run the adb command:

`adb shell mount data` I get the `adb.exe: no devices/emulators found`.

when I go to the `Apply update from ADB` and run the command above I get `error: closed`.

Basically I'm unable to run any adb commands as of the first message, and the only place I can it's from within the update. I've noticed that while in the 'Update via ADB', then in the Win Device Manager I can see that the driver is changed to `Android Composite ADB Interface` and only now it's accepting very limited commands. `adb devices` command generates: `<device id number>: sideload`.

When in the fastboot, it switches to `Android Bootloader Interface` in the DEvice manager.

When in recovery, the device is disconnected from the computer. (is not listed in the device manager)

any thoughts. thanks

Note: that phone was never rooted.

Bootloader looks like this at the moment:

```

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] dcarvil:
On my pixel3, /dev/block/dm-4 is mounted to /data. Try "adb shell mount /dev/block/dm-4 /data".

The instructions you are following are very old, and likely obsolete. SuperSu is also obsolete. Try to find a newer method.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] vajnorcan:
the issue is I'm unable to run that command `adb shell mount...` with the `no devices/emulator found` message. I believe it's because the device is not even listed in the device manager (windows) when in recovery mode. When in the update mode, then it's listed in the DM. See my post above, I've updated it few times. Thanks

Btw on that link if you check the posts there are newer ones (1.5y back) claiming it works so might actually work
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
If you're unable to sideload the OTA via PC, I don't think there's any other option besides paying for a repair, or replacing the device. A locked bootloader definitely makes recovery a lot harder.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] vajnorcan:
I'm able to sideload the OTA, but restart goes into start being stuck and back and forth but never gets any further than the first google load screen
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] AlexKarimov:
Were you using adb/fastboot before this happened? Was the device recognised then? If not, are you sure you have the right drivers?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] vajnorcan:
I've used the adb to upload the ota and that went, according the message ok, but the system won't start up. Device is recognized only when I choose the "Apply update from ADB" option in recovery mode. The moment I choose it, it shows up as a device in device manager and "adb devices" lists it ok. In fastboot mode it does list it in device manager, but "adb devices" doesn't list it.

It's the latest driver
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] AlexKarimov:
If I understand correctly, you're using "adb devices" when in fastboot mode? You need to use "fastboot devices". If that works and lists the phone then you may be able to use the flash tool on the Google website
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
This requires OEM Unlocking to be enabled so it won't be much help here.

Rescue Mode might work though.

@vajnorcan try this:

Boot to bootloader and select Rescue Mode using the volume buttons, then press Power to enter it.

On your PC, go to pixelrepair.withgoogle.com and connect the USB cable to your device. Select your carrier or select "Other" if device is unlocked.

I don't know whether this will actually work...I haven't heard of anyone using this tool to successfully recover.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] vajnorcan:
'fastboot devices' is reading the device, which is good. but trying the online flash tool fails due to the device being locked. :/
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] vajnorcan:
The google tool has found and connected to the device, but it ends up in an error (on the device) and saying "disconnected", looked promising, but not for long. thanks.

[OnePlus 9 Pro] Nouty:
When I started installing modified ROMs a few years ago on my devices (Galaxy Y and the Nexus 5) it was to have more options than what the factory system didn't have by default.

Having all those apps that manufacturers install and Google's suite of apps didn't suit me either. Especially with new research revealing how various companies use apps to mine user data.

At the time of the Nexus 5 there were several ROM's available and if I wanted the Google applications installed I needed to install a "GAPPS" package. Otherwise I was free to use the system only with the essential AOSP applications.

Time passed and between the Nexus 5 and the Oneplus 9 Pro some movement happened and now most of the ROM's already come with the GAPPS package included in their builds.

Apparently on the Oneplus 9 Pro the only two actively supported options are LineageOS and crDroid and those that don't include GAPPS packages by default.

What happened? Why already include GAPPS in the build?

Is it for technical reasons, convenience? What is the reason for developers to take this attitude and not delegate the choice to users?

...
[OnePlus 9 Pro] blaacksheep:
I hear you! I'd like to get away from Google as much as possible. I don't trust them.

I think that the way Android is nowadays, the AOSP ROMS are limited in the services they provide and many apps are written for the Google API's included with Gapps. If you don't install Gapps, many apps will not work with vanilla Android alone. You almost have to conpletely divorce yourself from all the Google API's and any apps that rely on them just to get away from Google.

What it amounts to is a spartan living on a phone that's de-Googled. You can only install apps from F-Droid and a couple other places if you want Google-freedom. It's a choice that you have to decide to live with.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Nouty:
I prefer installing MicroG to get around part of the problem with apps that need Google's api's. I'm currently using crDroid with MicroG and the bank apps have been working great. Just like the GPS that in other times was very difficult to use. But now with osmAnd+ it's much easier.

I also have my own Nextcloud server installed on a cheap VPS that I use for various services such as: synchronizing contacts, calendar, notes and newsreader. I also have a mail server. All with the help of the YunoHost project.

crDroid is an excellent ROM but it has some features from other projects that I would like to try out. But as now several developers decide to provide the GAPPS package already included in their builds, it becomes more difficult to make the change.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] blaacksheep:
You just have to search around and find special builds of ROM's that meet your needs.

I'm on a shoestring budget, myself. I have a few Android devices/phones, and an Odroid XU4 SBC with a 4TB hard drive as a server. It's not much, but it covers my needs. LOL 🙂

Edit: OsmAnd is a great offline mapping app. (y)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ArmashOnXDA:
It's primarily for user convenience. Not many people are willing to use MicroG services because of it's unreliability
[OnePlus 9 Pro] ChrisFeiveel84:
in my opinion it doesn't make sense to build a rom without google apps because all roms have google services in them (since these are also used in the background for updates "project mainline") since android 10
[OnePlus 9 Pro] blaacksheep:
If you're truly into de-Google-ifying, I'd start with /e/ OS. ;)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Nouty:
Okay, that's more convenient. But it is also not difficult for the user to add one more .zip or a reboot-to-recovery to perform just one more installation. Many already do this to install Magisk.

I think not including GAPPS in the build provides one more option for all users. Users who want it can choose which GAPPS package to install. From "Full stock" to "Core".
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Tom Mix:
primarily for user convenience = care for user inability 🤡

romchefs dish-up what users want 🤷‍♂️
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TrumpXi:
If you care about deGoogle and hardening a ROM called DivestOS is also a choice https://divestos.org/pages/devices#device-lemonadep Never tried it tho ur on ur own
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Nouty:
I understand the good intention of the developers to want to include and facilitate the integration of lay users in the world of custom ROMs. But you can already see that it is better to teach how to do it than to "deliver it ready".

I took a look at DivestOS but the point I want to make is that not including the GAPPS package opens up a much wider range of options for all users.

DivestOS also doesn't provide many of the features you might find in other ROMs.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] TheGhost1951:
Every individual learns at a different rate and level. Trying to teach one message at a time is not the most efficient way to teach. If someone is interested in installing a custom ROM, they should start with Google search and get questions answered one at a time. When you put forth a serious effort to learn how to accomplish something, you retain more in memory and don't have to ask the same question again. Then if you don't like the first ROM you installed, you are more prepared to flash the second one.... Thinking out loud here.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Tom Mix:
once the idea of a custom rom was a very different one:

have control and the freedom of choice.

nowadays so called 'custom-roms' already include gapps 🤦‍♂️

what a farce 🤡

What happened? Mostly quality went to quantity. Back then ROMs were actual ROMs instead of these trash copy paste propaganda called AOSP.
