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.

Can you share the app ID which you are trying to download? Can you download, say, Scrambled Network? You can also try acquiring a new token by logging out and in.

Try to reproduce it with a new, empty Chrome profile to rule out settings and conflicts with other extensions. And yes, please open an issue on Github as that makes it easier to track a single bug.

Using version 34.0.1820.2 (Developer build 248536) from https://launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/+archive/chromium-dev, I can still download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.hermit.netscramble. What app are trying to download? What error do you get? Are you sure that you are running...

A new version of the spyware-free and open-source APK downloader is available! Get it from https://lekensteyn.nl/apk-downloader/ or fetch the sources from https://github.com/Lekensteyn/apk-downloader! Also note that the APK Downloader 2.1 from Evozi still contains tracking code, both the crx...

Others have reported issues with the download button, so it's not necessary an issue from Chrome beta. I have a fix for https://github.com/Lekensteyn/apk-downloader/issues/9, right now I am investigating another issue where the login token keeps getting lost.

For future readers, I have a minivold process in recovery. If you do not have (mini)vold, try upgrading recovery.

By experimentation and checking the system/vold/ source code, I was able to unlock the encrypted partition using: setprop ro.crypto.state encrypted vdc cryptfs checkpw 'your passphrase here' The unlocked device is then available in /dev/block/dm-0, and can be mounted directly read-only using...

Unless you do really stupid things like overwriting /dev/block/mmcblk0 or other partitions on http://cleanimport.xda/index.php?threads/2362743/, you will be safe.

If it cannot proceed to the "normal" boot, then get into recovery by holding Volume Up + Power + Home for ten seconds while booting (I usually do that when I see the Samsung logo end release when it has restarted, showing the logo again (about ten seconds). From there, use Install from zip (if...

Same symptoms here, /data is encrypted and startup gets stuck on the SIM PIN screen. I found a very stupid workaround, I am not kidding about this: Open the emergency dialer Call 112 (I am from the Netherlands, 911 should work too) Abort the phone call once the radio is turned on. You don't...

What you can expect are boot loops, inability to get even see the boot splash, non-working wifi/ USB / touch / camera/ anything that needs a driver, random reboots. Personal experience: yesterday I was playing with changing part of the initramfs without changing the whole boot.img. It turns out...

According to the i9300_defconfig, the i9300 has a BCM4334. This is also confirmed by looking at the device behind the wlan0 interface: $ grep . -H /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/* 2>/dev/null /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/class:0x00...

Wow, please add some paragraphs, this is hardly readable. You are doing something wrong, "%3D" is the URL-encoded variant of "=". If you found it in the page source, it was probably something like...

What app do you have problems with? Try whatsapp as a reference point.

APK Downloader Chrome Extension 1.5.0 I've released version 1.5.0 with some fixes: Compatibility with new Play store (reported by existeam, Gaganpreet). Detect when login has expired before downloading and open options page if necessary (requires new permission: access to tabs) Insert...

Do you get the same error when trying to download whatsapp? Please file a bug report at https://github.com/Lekensteyn/apk-downloader/issues At the options page? If you have two-factor auth enabled, use application-specific passwords. Please open a bugreport at...

Have you tried it already? You can select a different SIM operator at Options -> Advanced settings. I could still download even if I selected a provider different than the one I got.

If you are using versions 1.4 or older, then you need to remove it before installing 1.4.1 or newer. Newer versions can automatically check whether newer versions are available. As for saying thanks, there is a button near a post for that ;)

It would be nice if you mentioned which Chrome/Chromium version you are using. I am using Chromium 24.0.1312.57 and it is still not broken. I have just pushed out a fix (1.4.2) that fixes an error I had when trying to download an APK for NeptuneKirby. If you have installed the extension via my...

Why do you want that APK? It is opensource... https://github.com/Themaister/RetroArch http://www.libretro.org/ Yes, I tried to download the file and succeeded (30.7 MiB)

Remember to remove older versions. If you are using two-factor authentication, you need to add an application-specific password for this.

I don't know WHO that developer is, but that version is NOT the same as the one from https://github.com/Lekensteyn/apk-downloader. It contains code to track you (= spyware in my eyes). Therefore I have decided to create put a page+CRX together which you can use...

Login at the options page of the extension and refresh the Google Play page. You do not need to login on the Google Play page itself.

I am unable to download the Twister app (location restriction?), Google Catalogs (location restriction?) or the Tap Sonic app ("incompatible device"). I am living in the Netherlands and have a i9300. Remember to logout at Options and re-login if you get a 403 Forbidden message. Also, remember...

Try logging out and in again at Options.

Nope, it is not possible to download purchased apps because of a restriction from the Play store. If you have bought an application, you can try editing market.js and change the line if (document.querySelector("[data-isfree=true]") != null) { to if (true) {. I think that you cannot download...

Same as in the first post except that you do not need to disable SSL warnings. Have you tried logging out and in using the options page? Does it work with other applications? During development I used play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tencent.mm as test program. Please ensure that you...

I have also changed the options UI a bit, let me know if you like it or not. Has it become more obvious or is it even more difficult to use?

As promised, the repo and a zip: Chrome extension directly available on https://lekensteyn.nl/apk-downloader/ Project repo (zip at downloads): https://github.com/Lekensteyn/apk-downloader Changelog for 1.4.1 - 2013-01-13: Packaging-only change, add update URL to manifest file and provided...

I got it fixed for Chromium 23. It required a rewrite because of policy changes that cause captures/modifications of the *clients.google.com domain being blocked. I'll polish it a further more with my brother and then get it published in a public git repository. Stay tuned, it should be ready...

I started looking at it yesterday and noticed that I got a gzipp-ed response back (the response type is application/binary). Then I used jsxcompressor to decompress it, but then I get a *page* with a Forbidden message. If you are a developer you may want to have a look at a PHP implementation at...

I use a flac file for notifications. I guess that all formats listed on developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html can be used. For the notification to show up, I had to put the NAME.flac file in /sdcard/Notifications/NAME.flac. After a reboot it will then show up as NAME in the...

Wow that was non-obvious and couldn't find it before... I'd expect the menu button to present a "Setting" window, but apparantly one has to press the Options button on the left of the screen, then the icon with three squares in it and finally the "Storage" option is present.

You know, CM is open-source. I found the file responsible for storing the file at github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Camera/blob/ics/src/com/android/camera/Storage.java The relevant code was added 4 months ago in this commit...
