I am rooted with Magisk and ADB sideload OTA's in the stock recovery every 3 months or so. I was doing May - August this week and got a timestamp error on June's update. Is it safe to just skip OTA's, or do they need to be successively applied? That is, do I need to install May > June > July >...

Skipping June & July OTAs isn't an issue?

I'm rooted and sideload OTA's every 3-4 months. I've done this several times since the phone was released with no issues. Today, was going to be May - August updates. May went through with no problem. However, when I went to install the June OTA, it failed with the following error: Update...

It's a rooted device. So, it didn't seem like the general Q&A section was correct. Where do you suggest instead?

Is anyone else's Pixel 2 XL crashing? I'm using AOSP and have side-loaded all updates. I'm on 191105.004 with Magisk 20.1. I don't have any problems with root access, and the crashes are random (not specific to one app), but it occasionally soft-reboots the OS. I haven't tried a full system...

Which TABLET should I get? Requirements: -10" screen -Fingerprint reader -longest battery life possible -MicroSD Card -Headphone jack - I *might* be willing to forgo this for the right device, but I'd prefer to have it -ideally a USB-C power connector, but this isn't a requirement I went to...

I see that it has root, but I don't see a single ROM for this model. Am I missing something?

I'd really like to get my P607T updated to a newer Android release. Are there any options to get to Nougat? Thanks!

Has anyone tried this on the P607T? The warning at the top of the first post is rather specific and concerning.

Based on the OP description, I think I have a slightly different problem and wonder if anyone else has my problem. I don't receive old notifications again, but it will notify me "endlessly" (it eventually stops, but not with consistency). It usually happens with Hangouts and most often when I...

I got a replacement Pixel 2 XL and wanted to do unlock_critical from the outset. So, I enabled oem unlock, booted to bootloader, ran the command, the phone prompted me to unlock, which I did. I rebooted and it wiped my data. I thought I was all set. So, I setup my phone. I then went to root with...

As someone who also replies on data a lot, I will tell others that the backup and restore from Google account is pretty limited. Even the direct transfer from phone to phone--while better than before--is also limited. Most of this is APK downloads. There isn't any app data. Nova has its own...

The bootloader isn't unlocked when you purchase it. You still have to unlock it and have to wipe it. It is CARRIER UNLOCKED with the ability to unlock the bootloader when you purchase it.

My friend told me that he could install OTA updates on his rooted Pixel 1. How is that possible? Will that be possible on the P2? Thanks!

I'm on Resurrection 5.8.4 and had the problems (reported by many LineageOS users) with poor Bluetooth call quality and NFC not working. I'm not a dev and never understood why they weren't fixable in Lineage 14. So, is there something about Oreo that gives reason to hope that these can be...
