I have never upgraded the bootloader so I can still "unlock" it. It is however not persistent, as soon as I use "fastboot flashing lock", the Settings menu will again show that OEM Unlocking is disabled. A friend has the same model from the same batch and apparently his OEM Unlocking option...

Use a recent fastboot version and run it from a shell, it is not that difficult. A quick search showed this as well: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/how-to/unlock-bootloader-verizon-pixel-2-t3730076 And sorry, I cannot parse your second sentence.

No idea what you need it for, but here you go, the partition layout for a Pixel 2 (walleye MP1, serial number FA81Bxxxxxxx => made in Taiwan, 2018-01-11). Taken using twrp-3.2.1-0-walleye + fdisk -l /dev/block/sda Note: sector size is 4096 (not 512) Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using...

I am currently trying to sideload the OTA update from January and see if it helps. (Yes, I am aware that February is already available, but to allow for further experimentation without triggering rollback protection I am using an earlier version I already downloaded.) The steps I am taking: 1...

What version are you running? Assuming you have the Google variant (and not the Verizon one), the current latest version is OPM1.171019.019. Once you have adb enabled and run adb logcat from your computer, navigate to your developer settings again. Do you see any error in logcat? FWIW, I have...

1. You won't be able to maintain your userdata while switching between locked and unlocked states. 2. You will likely not be able to boot your device either after locking your phone. For 1) The Pixel 2 enables FBE (filesystem-based encryption) by default for your userdata partition. The...

(Reserved post) (Also, was planning to post this in G3 general, but this is possibly of interest to other LG hackers.)

Introduction Hi folks, While trying to get CM on a LG G3 (D855), I found people recommending Newest Root Method for LG devices (by digital-bug). Unfortunately this tool is Windows only and does not really describe what happens under the hood. For this reason I started reverse engineering the...

There is a SELinux policy that must allow access, you can check your kernel logs (dmesg or maybe even logcat) for SELinux denials. The /data/system/time/ location must also be accessible for the time daemon.

make-gapps-zip is an opensource project that allows you to create your own flashable GApps zip from existing firmware (e.g., Nexus factory images) on Linux/OS X/Windows. AFAIK there is only a Windows-only tool. Some other "devs" only publish GApps packages and are not transparent about the...

Could be related to the RTC not storing the time. The qpnp-rtc-write device tree option controls whether the time can be set with hwclock. If set to 0 or omitted, you will not be able to set the RTC time through the standard RTC interfaces (hwclock -w). Now, apparently these Qualcomm devices...

This issue is tracked on https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-5584 It turns out that any upgrade to CM 11 will fail with the "ambiguous column name" error because, well, two tables have the same column name. Apply the patch from http://review.cyanogenmod.org/76352 to...

When I had to build a mac80211 driver (rt2800usb), I had to apply the following changes on top of cm-10.2.0 (d6f2f4ae4e593067dc59e2ac63f022434199f673): # Depends on 3.4 backport that breaks mac80211. git revert d6f2f4ae4e593067dc59e2ac63f022434199f673 # "Add support for Note 8 (N5100 and...

There is likely a way, but if it does not work (this is not documented, so it might change), have a look at your logs for what went wrong. Since logcat is probably nog available, you have to read logs with cat /dev/log/system and/ or (in a second shell) cat /dev/log/main.
