[Google Pixel 7 Pro] vnayrp:
After reading all the comments, thoughts and things people had to say about the P7Pro as well as other competitors; I feel the Major Competitors are distributed in 5 major parties.

1. SAMSUNG

2. Google

3. Iphone (not to be considered in our case here)

4. Oneplus (Oppo)

5. Others (Moto, Nothing, Sony, Mi, etc)

I must say, Samsungs are simply overpriced and overhyped all the time! - reason being, they make their own Display, Storage and Memory. Plus their Exynos line of processors are simply in their own league since forever. Their after sales service is standard and has less complaints - except for the super high spares' prices.

Google - has always been criticized by many (also myself) because of the price they have quoted forever; until now, when I leapt on to the P7Pro after using the Oneplus Pro Phones since the past 3-4 years now. The last Google phone I owned was the Nexus 6P by Huawei (which surely was a mighty good one I thought back then).

The P7Pro is good in all segments except the UI and certain customization department to keep the users ocupied and for us to enjoy playing with it; like the way Samsung or Oneplus or otherwise, the Nothing Phone offers today.

Battery life of the P7Pro is not bad at all. We all go home or touch base at the end of the day or for 30 mins in a day atleast, where we have a charging point to get some juice for our devices in a day. The P7Pro gives me enough juice to go on for 13-14 hours easily with a standard 20 watt Iphone Charger in 30-40 mins of charge time.

Now comes the time to talk about the 5th party of Phones who only believe in phone looks, UI, Battery, No Guarantee of Update frequency, etc etc etc. Each one of these brands only believes in any 1 or 2 types of updates; either UI update, or battery update in the next variant, or camera update, or physical looks department, etc etc.

But the major cencern we enthusiasts have is and should mainly be looking at is the base OS and the frequency of updates which Oneplus / Nothing / Google promises as they maintain a stock feel and also give a stable UI even if there are less UI features. UI Customization is just a chosen mindset.

Unlocking bootloader seamlessly and rooted customization is a very simple process in Google and Oneplus phones unlike within Samsung and Moto Phones.

I would want to sum it up in my words writing a positive note about what Google has been doing and what it has to offer is good... Price Point - YES THEY ARE HIGHER than the other brands. But there are many reasons in the manufacturing section which may be asking a high price - LIKE SAMSUNG DOES TOO!

Cheers XDA-ites ;-)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] blackspp:
Good points OP, and on top of that my p7p is the first phone I had in my life that caught a scratch, in the middle of the screen of all places.

Battery life has been good mostly although it varies with each os/fw update. Since a couple of weeks my p7p also started to run quite hot. Maybe it lowers again with another update, who knows.

I think the 'clean experience' is highly overrated btw, as in most phones bloatware is easily removed and personalisation is also easy.

I also have a Google Nest gen 3 learning thermostate that failed after 2 months. Getting a replacement took me a lot of time, providing all sorts of evidence, filling out lots of web forms. Google support is not great, unfortunately.

No more physical Google gear for me.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] blackspp:
I just received a new (ehh, refurbished but looks new) p7p from Google after I complained in their support channel it got so hot the OS shut it down and gave a warning when I started it up again. For them a trigger to replace the phone.

Let's hope they put in a fresh battery too ;}
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Kustu05:
My Pixel 7 Pro gets literally better points in most CPU benchmarks than the SD 8 Gen 1. Slightly behind the SD 8+ Gen 1, but not by a big margin. Battery life has also been quite decent. Have been averaging about 8-9 hours of screen on time.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] WingedCow:
I own both the 7 pro and S23U. 7 Pro is my main phone simply because of call screening. If I have to make a call its the 7 Pro, its rooted, can call record and call screen. But when I have to watch videos, its S23 for sure.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
Proof or it didn't happen. Geekbench is the first where you'll already stay far behind vs 8+gen1. lol

Tensor G2 doens't get almost NOWHERE better points in synthetic benchmarks compared to 8gen1.

Own the Pixel 7 Pro, including 8gen1 and 8gen2 device and bunch of others.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
"Slightly" behind 8+gen1. lmfao
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Kustu05:
Here are my Geekbench 6 results:
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
8+gen1:
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Kustu05:
Not really fair is it, as that's a tablet and therefore it has much more area for cooling. It also has overclocked power saving cores compared to a normal 8+ Gen 1.

But yeah, as I said the SD 8+ Gen 1 is slightly faster than the Tensor G2. It's pretty much on par with the 8 Gen 1.

[Redmi Note 12 5G / Xiaomi Poco X5] Skeppy.Epic:
Like using more RAM and using more background processes like Magisk.
[Redmi Note 12 5G / Xiaomi Poco X5] DarkThunder090:
As per my Knowledge Rooting does not decrease your Phones' performance.
[Redmi Note 12 5G / Xiaomi Poco X5] ShreyasTheRootMan:
Definitely not. Because rooting only means we are unlocking the full access to the device. What we do after rooting is the thing that can use more RAM and background processes. For example if we install a lot of heavy root applications then yeah the RAM usage will increase. But that is true for even non-root apps, right?

TL;DR is that rooting inherently won't result in more RAM usage.
[Redmi Note 12 5G / Xiaomi Poco X5] kudichode:
Why would rooting your device have effects on resources?

Is there something specific you're trying to do that requires root?

Rooting the phone and not making use of root apps is futile; simply rooting the phone directly does nothing
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] WangChung81:
I just got a new S8 Ultra that I'm using as a home smart center control and is replacing my well worn Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2. I had it flashed with Lineage, rooted, Magisk'ed, Deathly Adiutor'ed, de-bloated, and overclocked which worked fine for years, but just got long in tooth and seems to be having some sort of issue with its power circuit.

Anyway I kind of got out of the modding/rooting game for a while and the multiple workarounds getting Netflix working just got to be a headache. Now that ADB AppControl and the like exists, is there any particular reason I should root this? If I could unlock additional bluetooth profiles that'd be nice, but I'm just at a point where I want it to work more than "maximize performance."
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] sosimple:
I haven't root it exactly for the same reason. I can't find a good reason. But in 6 months guarantee will be off, so i guess I'll root it then just for easier debloating / freezing services, for doing some things with Tasker which now need adb etc..

Bottom line: You won't do anything that you can't do now. Just you'll do some things easier.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] skrowl:
The best reason is Linux Deploy, which gives you a full Linux desktop (Ubuntu / Debian / Kali / etc) running at near-native speed inside Android.

If that doesn't sound useful to you, you probably don't need to bother.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Stogie87:
I used Linux Deploy long time ago, but since updating OneUi always caused problems for me and ended in infinite bootloops, i decided to try samsung stock rom for the first time without root. I just debloated it a bit.

I use Debian Linux via Userland atm and it works very well without root, except of the sound. I am not able to get sound working on Linux via Userland or Andronix. Is it working for you via Linux Deploy or do you know any fix to get it work? Pulseaudio is running, but there is no output....
[General Topics] bunjermen:
Greetings!

I am new to this forum and rooting in general. After updating to EMUI 12 the phone has become extremely slow. I am wondering if rooting would be a good option and where I should start the process. My phone is already backed up as I did a factory reset to try to fix the problem.

Thank you much for any direction.

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] burntorise21:
Hi guys, i have a problem and I just dont get what i gotta do: my pixel 3 is lagging in games on minimal video config, id like to say it stutters. I have the same issue on my laptop which lost its original power and now my phone doing it too. I know what my phone can do, ive watched videos with pixel 3 perfomance but mine just cant do the same.

To tell the truth, ive bought it from other person, and it was repaired (probably many times). I dont have acces to bootload, cause its from Verizon. Ive deleted digital well-being, made a hard reset., etc. (made all possible program optimizations).

Persolnally, i think its a motherboard problem(CPU,GPU), but i dont know what should i search.

Can you please give me some advices if its possible. Can i fix it somehow?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] kashifmughal7072:
Hey,

I've faced a similar issue with my Pixel 3, and it's frustrating, especially during gaming. Even after optimizations and a hard reset, the lag persists. Given your device's history and repairs, there might be hardware problems, possibly related to the motherboard. Considering limited access to the bootloader, seeking professional help is the best route. They can diagnose and offer solutions for smoother performance.

TC,

Kashif

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] felpofo:
I've bricked my Redmi Note 10 Pro probably because that stupid Anti-Rollback Protection that no one tells you unless the thing was already done flashing the wrong rom. After an agonizing week of searching I've found some possible ways to unbrick using a stock rom:

Using a modified firehose file: No way, there's no one for my phone

Paying someone to remotely unblick using miflash: Maybe scam + Too expensive

Service center: They will not help (?) + There's no one close to me (currently searching for one, but with no hope) + I've bought by a reseller

Buy a new motherboard: Last option. Don't find where to buy.

Today I've found this website explaining how to apply for unlock, but it says that it works only with the phone working (not tested, makes sense). Maybe it's outdated, there's no such option.

And a thread on xda saying that is possible to reverse engineer the firehose file, but the truth is that is not. The file is signature checked on the phone or something like that, so when flashing it throws an error (I've lost the link). Maybe this is the reason of why doesn't this file exists for this phone.

Also I've found QFIL and QPST tools, but everything tells me that it will not work, as well as other reports.

There's some people that had they device bricked/want to flash custom rom within EDL, and the comments are basically: "There's no way to flash custom roms within EDL mode if the bootloader is locked". So, what if the bootloader is unlocked? That's my question, how do I do that. They don't tell how to do so, they just rub it in your face that you've f* up.

Also, what is the purpose of the test point pins? Does it bypass the edl authentication? (I guess the answer is obvious 😥)

Just in case:

It enters on fastboot? No, it doesn't. Neither recovery nor fastboot. It's in EDL mode/Qualcomm 9008. Long keypress = reboot to edl again.

What rom did you flashed right before brick?

File: xiaomi.eu_multi_SWEETK6A_V14.0.1.0.THGMIXM_v14-13​

MD5SUM: d68f8221e3dd2e539a6011146fb72a37​

Questions:​

What is this K6A on the filename? I coudn't believe I've flashed the wrong rom.​

Right now writing the post I saw that it has THGMIXM instead SKFMIXM, maybe I really flashed the wrong rom.​

What is the anti version of that? Don't know.

Either MIUI 14 and 13 should be ok to flash right?

What is your anti version? Don't know. The last stock I've flashed was anti=3 sweet_global_images_V13.0.18.0.SKFMIXM_20230218.0000.00_12.0_global_18daa61696.

Anyways the anti version is useless now.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NOSS8:
Indeed, you have flashed the rom xiaomi.eu_multi_SWEETK6A_V14.0.1.0.THGMIXM_v14-13 for the redmi note 12 instead of the xiaomi.eu_multi_HMNote10Pro_V14.0.4.0.TKFMIXM_v14-13 for the Redmi note 10 pro.

View attachment 5988165​

It's weird that the flash is executed since the code name is different, which should have generated an error and canceled the flash, but maybe you used a recovery and not a fastboot cmd to install the rom.

The motherboard costs + or - $135 without the glue kit, which is 4 and a half times the price than a flash in Edl mode.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Omareko:
I hardbricked my Poco x4 PRO 5g by a GSI ROM with bootloader locked, so i did test points to flash the phone through EDL, i auth flashed for about 7 dollars, everthing was correct even the flash tool showed "FLASHING SUCCESS" but i turned the phone on and it showed "SYSTEM HAS BEEN DESTROYED" like i hadn't done anything.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NOSS8:
No need for test points to enter EDL mode on these devices.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] felpofo:
Yes, I was testing many roms at the moment, don't searched very well about xiaomi.eu before installing, don't even knew about install it by fastboot. Pretty dumb of me, but if I had known about EDL authentication (and anti-rollback), I would certainly have been infinite times more careful.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Omareko:
how. i searched alot on how to enter edl mode, it showed me to make mobile enter fastboot and type FASTBOOT OEM EDL , BUT the problem here is that bootloader isn't unlocked, so the only way to flash my phone was to make it enter edl mode.

also do you know a tools that auth flash for free?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NOSS8:
Install the Qualcomm drivers and the device will be visible, provided it's not a HW problem, with Miflash on a Com port, but you need an account with permission to flash in EDL mode.

No free solutions for recent devices, the price remains reasonable compared to a motherboard replacement for example.

Edit:

Has the bootloader been unlocked yet?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nicksons28:
In case you can't find a firehose file, chimera tool is useful, has all qc functionality and it has some firehose files that I've never seen online
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] felpofo:
I'm good (telegram saved me), there's no firehose for anything beyond rn10p, bootloader check it and won't let it boot.

Someone has kindly given me a link to you to see if you can help further the removal of restrictions preventing Diabetics from staying alive and safe. And to use Samsung's Galaxy Watch 4 and 5 with xdrip+ and AAPS and to safeguard us all! would be a great help if someone could help me further help other people to set up Galaxys 4 and 5 with wear OS 5.5 versions but also the lower versions.

H as I cannot help other people buying them to medically keep alive with these restrictions! And seeing my setups on Android watches. Im fine with Ticwatch at the moment but people with Samsung are really struggling on a foolproof setup to get what we need to sideload it into it and use. This is also causing me a headache for them following my video to get a setup where some of it is right but other parts are not right for their setups! Like using the Gwatch App I also don't want to have to come back into rooting and doing what you are good at to re-code it to change back to the ways we could do this process before Tizan and back to a normal working Android system to installing APPS! I see good news you come back to Os wear but still having struggles within it for me to help any further on setup for them. Hope you can help in some ways here, please.

if you got this message after updating the problem is likely the KG state that shows in download mode.

after updating, factory resetting or formatting before going back to Odin you need to boot up the phone, complete the setup and get an internet connection. if you do this you should have a KG state of checking which let's you flash vbmeta, twrp etc. if it says anything else like pre-normal flashes won't work.
