    Thread Rooted, now Google Pay is inop

    I rooted, just the Magisk patched boot image, nothing more. Installed adaway, which is the reason for rooting. I marked Google Pay as hidden in Magisk hide. That was all it took on the OG Pixel XL. Not so with the 4 XL. Any thoughts on how to get Google Pay to step in line?

    Post Adaway

    Man, if it weren't for the guys on this forum, I would just be some old fat dude with a smartphone. Now, I can be an old fat dude with a smart phone and no ads. Innit great?

    Post [Guide] Root Pixel XL Android 10.0 (Q)

    This worked for me even after I blindly installed 10 through my usual update method. Root works, ad away works. Thanks to the OP for the guide!

    Post Magisk Issues on Fresh System Image Install (Feb. 2019)

    I have a similar issue. I have updated platform-tools and still get the unbootable issue with Magisk. I installed the latest factory firmware and didn't erase -w so it is a fresh install. I do want to use the TWRP recovery, so I sideload that first and then side load Magisk-18.1.zip and it has...

    Post Potential Bootloader Unlock for Non-Dev Edition

    I was referring to your language mostly. Although a quick google search will tell you there is no root after 4.4.4. So, you bought a phone (for much less than most paid for it) and its on you that you didn't know it couldn't be rooted. Acting like an entitled punk gets you nowhere with the red...

    Post Potential Bootloader Unlock for Non-Dev Edition

    If my 14 year old acted like that, he'd soon find himself sans cellphone...or social life for the foreseeable future.

    Post So much for an unbreakable screen

    If it were perfectly flat, the landing impulse would have spread across the entire area. This would significantly reduce stress concentrations and more than likely not have surpassed the material's ultimate failure stress. Brittle materials, such as the tempered glass used in phone screens...

    Post Potential Bootloader Unlock for Non-Dev Edition

    I believe what you are referring to is the date the OS package was complied from source. My build date says April 30 of 2014, which is impossible because I bought the phone last August (I think). At any rate I have owned the phone since the last quarter of 2013 at least. Sent from my XT1080...

    Post Call Blocker

    Probably program tasker to do that. However, telemarketers are usually never allowed to hang up on you, so they are a great place to vent all your frustrations about the whole situation that's been escalating between Scotland and Belize. I know that one has me really worried. If they go to war...

    Post [4.4 ROOT] [BOUNTY] New Root Method Exploit or Full Bootloader Unlock Droid Maxx

    So, why doesn't the big V or Moto just offer it for a nominal fee? You have to sign all the typical waivers and give up your first born and such, then you can root your device. Sounds like the difference between a developer edition and a normal one is just a pool of numbers that are reserved for...
