1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
2. Member conduct.
2.1 Language: XDA is a worldwide community. As a result what is ‘ok’ to say in your part of the world may not be ok in someone else’s part of the world. Please think about who is reading what you write. Keep in mind that what you think of as acceptable use of language may not be acceptable to others. Conversely, while reading member posts, remember that word you find offensive may not be to the writer. Tolerance is a two way street.
2.2 Nudity: XDA is used by people of all ages, including minors. It's not acceptable to post nude/pornographic imagery, which includes exposure of the male or female genitalia or of female breasts.
2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.
2.4 Personal attacks, racial, political and/or religious discussions: XDA is a discussion forum about certain mobile phones. Mobile phones are not racial, political, religious or personally offensive, therefore none of these types of discussions are permitted on XDA.
2.5 Courtesy towards other Members: Treat new members the way you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instruction when you can and always with respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.
2.6 All members are expected to read and adhere to the XDA rules.
3. Post only using a clear subject and message.
You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail what your problem is and what you've tried to solve it.
4. Use the English language.
We understand that with all the different nationalities not everyone speaks English well, but please try. If you're really unable to post in English use an online translator, You're free to include your original message in your own language below the English translation.
5. Post a message only once.
As a large forum we don't need unnecessary clutter, You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time, it might take a while before you receive an answer.
6. Do not post warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, then pay for it. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained. This is a site of developers, i.e. the sort of people who create such software. When you cheat a software developer, you cheat us as a community
7. Do not spam.
If you wish to advertise a product, contact us we provide ads. But do not post it in the forums, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
You are however allowed to sell used goods like your own device, parts of your device or accessories for your device in the marketplace forum, please read the rules there before posting. (This rule includes signatures, if you use a signature it will appear in your post)
8. Donations.
We appreciate all donations to xda-developers.com, it keeps our forum online and well maintained. As a user you're allowed to ask for donations in your signature as a thank you for your hard work. However donations up front are not allowed, this forum is about sharing, not about getting paid to do something, that's what your job is for.
9. Don't get us in trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does not mean we agree with everything the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.
10. Help others if you can.
If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably already quite a few people newer than you that would benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.
11. Don’t post with the intention of selling something.
Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar/substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.
Do not post press releases, announcements, links to trial software, or commercial services. unless you’re posting an exclusive release for XDA-Developers.com.
Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited.
Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration.
Off-site downloads from sites requiring registration are NOT encouraged but may be permitted if the following conditions are met:
A) the site belongs to a member of XDA-Developers with at least 1500 posts and 2 years membership who actively maintains XDA-Developers' support thread(s) / posts, related to the download,
B) the site is a relatively small personal website without commercial advertising/links (i.e. not a competitor forum-based site with purposes and aims similar to those of XDA-Developers.com.)
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
As an addition, developers have the right to hold exclusivity over their work for as long as it is deemed necessary by the dev or freely share it. However, if the work is claimed as exclusive, it must remain as such. No selective sharing will be allowed (ie allowing certain people to use it and not others). Should the dev decide to start sharing the work with others, the work automatically becomes fair game for all to use.
In regards to permissions, same rules remain for this but if permission was already given, unless there is a very valid reason, it cannot be revoked (same applies to major updates on the work). Under that same premise, permissions cannot be denied unless the work is exclusive or under severe circumstances.
In plain English: If you want to keep your work exclusive, go for it. However, if you are going to share your work, do it fairly.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA (including but not limited to ROMs, RUUs, apps, games, kernels, themes, icons, etc) unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.
13. Advertising and Income Generation
Commercial advertising, advertising referral links, pay per click links and other income generating methods are forbidden. Do not use xda-developers as a means to make money.
14. Create only one User Account
You are allowed one User Account at xda-developers. If you create additional accounts, Moderators will disable them and your original account may also be disabled or infracted.
15. Keep posts/threads on-topic
Whilst a minor amount of off-topic posting may be overlooked, the general rule is your posts / threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting.
16. Bumping Threads (posting simply to force a thread to the top of the thread queue)
Do not "bump" a thread more than once per 24 hours.

Are you sure that you have lost your root ?
Have you make a backup from your root before the JB update ?
If yes, normally you can restore it without problem. The backup of your root doesn't made automaticaly
If not, I think that it lost.

Thanks for the reply.I actually had a backup that i had with the OTA root keeper,however for some reason the update wiped all my data,incl. my personal files inside the tablet.SO as a result,everything is gone.(btw i updated from the download version from ASUS site,not OTA update,and my device is unlocked)

Hi, thanks for this thread "Tiger"....we needed it
To answer the root problem, you'll need to do the root over again....its not that bad though.
I had to do it....so follow the links at the top of this thread and do as they say, I used the method for the TF300T and the CWM Touch recovery.....worked like a charm.
I am only wondering if I can put back on the tablet EZ-Overclock?....heard they had issues on the TF300T JB
Thank you.

Is your 3G stil working....?
I also have a rooted TF300TG and would like to do the JB thing. I can not find a clear way of doing it on the 300TG though.
I also have a backup of the current ICS root. Currently sh.. scared of rendering the tablet useless as I use it for trading.

Okay now that the firmware is up on Asus's website I can update too (can't OTA) so any comment on the update itself for tg users? I saw this thread & people has reported many issues: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857288
so since our update came long after 300t how's this update for us? are those issue fixed, anything to report? as someone who has just bought his tf300tg and is perfectly happy with ICS should I go on & update or wait for later updates from Asus?

You will find the JB update for TG in the Index (click in my sig )
And you will find always some issues with new roms or updates.
And I think that nobody knows when Asus goes to update

TF300TG - Got OTA ...
Hi' all.
I also have TF300TG which is rooted. I got OTA message from ASUS.
For now i've posponed install. But i'm wondering. Does any one know if it's ok to do OTA update and will it be posible to use Voodoo OTA RootKeeper to recover root, or will i have to go with the whole procedure shown in this topic?
Please, help

Backup the root via Voodoo, and normally it will be good. That's what I have done for my 300TF.
After the update, just restored and updated SuperSu or Superuser

Hi All and XDA...
I asked this question myself (Upgrade to JB while rooted and unlocked bootloader) and decided to do it myself following this method.
Credits go to the following person krabappel2548 for his thread and the members below for their help in all this....thank you!!!
This worked for me and you follow this at your own risk!!! I wont take responsibility for Bricked or Broken Tablets!!!
(Editted by Slide200sx)
Dear Asus Transformer TF300TG users,
Asus released the Jellybean update. Here is a guide which will let you:
- Prepare your tablet for the Jellybean update
- Update your tablet to Jellybean software
- Install recovery and give you root acces
== Part 1 - Prepare the tablet ==
First we need to install the .V9.4.4.40 update to be able to upgrade to the Jellybean software, then we will do the actual upgrade to Jellybean.
1) Download the V9.4.4.40 update: Asus support site
2) Got to recovery and make a backup
3) In recovery do to a factory reset and wipe dalvik cache
- TWRP recovery: Wipe => Dalvik Cache and Wipe => Factory reset
- CWM recovery: Factory reset and Advanced => Wipe Dalvik Cache
4) Flash the Asus recovery "Here I had to change the way I did this as it would not flash for me in recovery mode, I unzipped the ICS zip and unzipped it again to receive the BLOB file, place this file with the fastboot file in the adb folder
4.1) Open a command prompt in the same folder of the adb and fastboot files (Shift + Right mouse)
4.2) Reboot into the bootloader of your tablet, type: adb reboot bootloader
4.3) When your tablet has reached the bootloader navigate with volume down to the usb icon and press volume up to confirm.
4.4) To flash the recovery type:
- fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery blob
5) Then reboot the tablet holding down the power button or using fastboot.
The Jellybean update will only be automatically launched with stock recovery
== Part 2 - Upgrade to Jellybean ==
This will upgrade your tablet to Jellybean (Android 4.1)
6) Here I unzipped the V10.4.3.7 file I download from the Asus website for my Tablet to receive another zip.....again make sure its the correct SKU!!! and place that zip file onto the internal sdcard of the tablet using the cable and computer.....once I had done this I then unplugged the tablet from the computer and checked the notification area on the tablet, now automatically it said there is an upgrade available and when clicking on it the process will start.
== Part 3 - Install recovery and rooting ==
Follow this part on the attached thread (Part 3)
This should do the same for you, but if you are having trouble I will try help you best I can, or you are more than welcome to try it the OP way on his thread.
If I have helped you please hit THANKS button....its free and I appreciate it
Also thank the Members below....please

Thank you.
Update worked like a charm, root restore did too.
BUT...
during JB update i've left SDCard in TF300 microSD slot and ... tablet can't see this one particular sd card!!!!
1. card works perfectly in every other device (htc phone, laptop etc)
2. card reader in tf300 works perfectly - other cards work
3. even this card works in tablet when i connected it through dock usb (via phone) - didn't test it via docks sdcard reader (i don't have adpater with me).
4. (new) - tested with adapter to full SD in sd card reader in dock station and this card works!!!, in Tablets microSdCardReader still doesn't.
It seems, like JB update remembered this card in some way, and doesn't want to mount it again.
(card was reformated, and even wiped (zeroed) totaly, partitioned and formated again....)
still doesn't work...
Any Ideas? Where JB can keep this information? card S/N? Did any one had this problem??

Have you seen that you have 2 "sdcards"
One is sdcard internal memory
second is removable/microSD
If you use EsFile explorer with rights of root, you will see in "Favorites"
Home: internal memory
Phone: system
removable /micro SD
It will be cool to write thanks, but it will be better to click on "THANKS" button just left down.
Yes, just here...:good:

And so it is... I am here

Hi there,
I have a Tf300tg and it was rooted before the update. Unfortunately I didn't see any problem in update to JB, so I just updated the firmware. The problem it's that when I tried to install titanium backup it says that I don't have the root on the tablet and I don't have a backup of the root. Can I root again? I have the superUser installed yet. Can anyone help me with that?
Thanks!

Have you installed and backuped your root with Vodoo Rootkeeper ?
If not, you have lost your root and that's why TB says you din't have root.
Use Root checker from Google play for be sure of that.

[Q] SCH-i959 Gapps Noob

Hi guys,
Not sure if this is the right flavor of S4 but I didn't know where else to post...
I am new to all this flashing and ROMs on phones. I have read quite a bit and the biggest thing I have gotten is, be sure you know what to do before you do it. I know this is totally noob and I appreciate the help ahead of time and will share the knowledge forward here in China. I bought a S4 (SCH-i959 from China Telecom). Super excited to have a S4 but as I turn it on, no google account and no gapps. So could someone give me a detail step by step what to do to flash them onto my phone?
I have installed KIES and the USB drivers and can successful talk between my phone and my computer. I have used KIES to backup my phone. Is there any other backups I need?
I have downloaded ODIN 3.07 on my computer and it launches fine.
I am running android 4.2.2
My current firmware is PDA:MG2 / PHONE:MF1 / CSC:MG2 (CTC)
I am happy running stock ROMs, I want to keep it simple just want to get gapps back. (China and google don't mix...)
If any other info is needed, let me know and I will be quick to reply.
Thanks in advance guys!!!

Hi, how are you?
I have got the same PB, this SCH-I959 sux, and I certainly want to flash it like I did with my Note I - Note II and the S-III.
But I am having difficulties finding a ROM which can fits the SCH-I959.
Please post back if you find a ROM, thx!

Mine is bricked at the moment

I'm living in Beijing and I am having exactly the same problem. There doesn't seem to be any information on this phone anywhere that isn't in Chinese. I tried flashing that S4 google edition rom to my phone and now it won't even boot up. I'm not sure what I can do now.

Hi,I don't know if you've fixed the PB by now,and there's a ROM[KEUAME5 (4.2.2)] on which all gapps are installed and runs well may meet you request.You can download here : pan哈baidu哈com/share/link?shareid=44899363&uk=423036219&fid=1727708162("哈"=".")

I was just given this phone by someone and it really does suck not to be able to install GApps. Makes it pretty useless, IMHO.
Hopefully this will work. Not sure though as my other phone is a Xiaomi 2S and doesn't require any rooting :good:

[Q] only 2g Data after 4.4.2 official update via KIES

Hello,
I have an issue with my gt-i9505.
It was running fine, I received the 4.4.2 OTA update, but it failed several times.
So hooked it up to the PC and used KIES 3 ( latest version ) to update to the latest build.
Suddenly I only had 2G data connection left, I tried switching to WCDMA only and it showed me this circle with a diagonal line in it.
After that I tried rebooting several times, but to no avail.
After this I replaced the sim card, same issue ( went to the provider store to get a replacement ).
So still with this issue, I booted up the recovery and did a hard reset.
Still the same issue.
It is very annoying as I am relying on my mobile data a lot.
Anybody any clue?

1. Paste here one screenshot of what appears in Kies 3
2. Dial *#1234# and paste here one screenshot too pls

For the kies question, what do you want to see in the screen shot ?
Here Is the 1234 screen.
PS im from the Netherlands and this is a Vodafone branded phone.

2. Dont lie us pls. You didnt update ur phone by OTA or Kies 3 either. We are working here for free for help ya

Suddenly it all makes sense to me!
This is what I think happened:
I connected the phone to KIES while on the custom firmware, the CSC code must have been set to Bulgarian or something...
Since i did not change CSC afterwards on regular 4.3, I think the value was still set to bulgarian, because now that i think about it I saw the disclaimer in a weird language to me...
So downloading the proper firmware now.
Waiting for it and will flash and check back in here...
I feel stupid.
Well... That didn't work either.
Going back to 4.3, praying almost..
Edit: can't downgrade.
Oh wonderful day
Edit: restored but still only 2g....
Edit:
Just keeps getting weirder and weirder.
I was in another town and suddenly saw the G logo change to E
When I was almost leaving the city I had a working 4G connection.
I leave the town and back at G again sadly...
Seriously this thing is freaking me out...

Bump.
Still the same issue, Provider is at a loss as well it seems.
Samsung is looking into replacing the handset, but deciding if they will takes them a week.
The help received here is very appreciated.
Hope you guys can help me solve this.

Checked my sim in a S3 and well... It worked !
Got instant 3G connection.
So now we can surely say it is the phone.
Also flashed agian with 4.4.2 official stock rom, issue is persistent.
Hope you guys can help me

Self bumping ...
Please help guys!
It is driving me insane!

Hello Repulsa,
Yes I did,I even recreated it via settings on the mobile provider website,even after that only the 2G connection works.
When I go into servicemode, none of the suggested key inputs give me anything, it just stays on that page.
If connected to the GSM network (900), I will see it as connected in the service menu.
When I select WCDMA it shows me that it is unavailable.
IF it sees a WCDMA connection, it shows no data and on registering it on the network all connection is lost.
If it sees the WCDMA connection it will state Band1 and IDLE constantly, it will go to active for 10 seconds and jump back to IDLE.
Also:
In this servicemenu it states :
IMEI Certi : NA
But if I do *#06# the correct IMEI is shown...

Try to flash a different modem such as MK9 and if you have an LTE in your place Flash this aswell , if not, then just flash only modem.

Goodluck and Make sure to check if your baseband version change to MK9 and if you wanna go back on FNB8 then feel free to download it from here , Instead of saying Thanks , Please feel free to hit the thanks button right there LOL
Edit: @SnoopNL If your problem still persist , then feel free to send your phone in customer service for repair. Your part of EU mate , and Im sure they will fix your phone for warranty. Try to flash the GSM and Wifi fix FNB8 from the Link i gave you ,(Check if its gonna get fix, IF NOT) then send it to them.

Well, it didn't work so went to the service center.
you want to know their answer:
We can't do anything for you!
When i showed him the servicemode menu, he was stunned and did not know what it was...
My provider is refusing to help me in a quick way, now calling Samsung praying for help.
But really, I've missed 2 agenda appointments and had to drive home! to get wifi to load google maps...
Still they say i have to wait for them.
This is insane!
For all of you :
Thank you so much for all your effort and help!
Edit:
For now I have switched to the evil apple....
You guessed it, EVERYTHING works!
On the gt-i9300 : Everything works.
Edit2:
So on advice of Samsung I have flashed CM to my phone.
It did not resolve the issue, but might shed some light on it.
It constantly showed an E, so there was an Edge connection...
When in the menu I switched to CWDMA only and phone process crashed.
So tried another setting, only GSM : Again failure and a crashing phone process...
Only setting to worldwide or LTE lets me connect to Edge, nothing else.
And to make it more fun, I tried with a sim of a person next to me with also a GT-I 9505, with a SIM that supports 4G and on a location where we verified there was 4G coverage and saw it on his phone.
So booted CM for the first time with his sim and the result was the above.
I can now safely say : this is a hardware issue to my opinion.
Also noticed that some of my SMS messages have been sending 8 times , 10 times or even not at all for some!
If anybody wants to have a last shot at this: Be my guest, but I am not expecting this thing to work as it should anymore.

I just checked my pc and checked my AV software ( the only consistent software between my machines) and found out that a lot of DLL files used by kies were blocked by my AV ...
Can this help understand the issue?
It even blocked adb-windows.exe from being loaded.
What I will do :
Remove the AV from the pc.
Run the AV removal tool.
Reboot
Reconnect the phone.
Reflash it.
See if issue is resolved.
Will post back later today.
Fingers crossed people!
P.S.: AV is Kaspersky Internet Security 2014 with protected mode ENABLED.

Final update.
Ok, so I changed the CSC to VDF...
Was on SIM.
Still no 3G, only 2G.
On a different provider it goes up to Edge.
Could it be the IMEI Certificate is used for higher speed connections?
Either way, this phone is a drama.
And well the 'service' from samsung hasn't really been optimal.
After it has been swapped, I'm going for a different brand.

ASUS Zenfone Pegasus 3 (ZC520TL)

Hi, I bought the Pegasus 3 from Tinydeal (German warehouse) so I received it with Global ROM. Looked to be perfect, but I couldn't make or receive any phone calls because a message box kept popping up: ASUS calling screen has stopped.
So then I tried updating the firmware (it said there was one available) but it stopped halfway during installation. After that I tried installing the new firmware manually, but I overlooked the "CN" part So I was stuck on Chinese ROM. It took some time, but following this tut: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982587 and using this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gen...sus-3-x008-t3447614/post69293999#post69293999 I managed to get back to Global ROM.
However; still the same problem! ASUS calling screen has stopped. Is there anybody who has an idea for me to fix it? I tried using Nova Launcher, but perhaps I should try a different dialer?
One other thing: my contacts don't sync with Google, and I can't add the Google account to ASUS contacts. But Calendar, Gmail etc are all there...
I sincerely hope to be able to use this phone!

I think I may have a clue on the issue; it seems the IMEI number is invalid. Probably after flashing the Global ROM using SP Flash tools?
So now I'm looking to edit IMEI number with MTK Droid Tool, but the device is not recognized. I installed MTK USB drivers, Android CDC drivers, tried PDAnet, ASUS PC-link but none of it works. I'm getting rather desperate :crying:
First question; to use MTK Droid Tool, should the USB be used for Charging, File transfers or USB storage? USB-debugging is on.
Second; what more can I do?
Thanks in advance!

hello, your reseller seem to sell you a chinese asus version (check the firmware version if it CMCC... it is a chinese rom). The asus X008 and asus zc520tl zenfione max 3 are the same.
So if your firmware is CMCC .... nstall a fresh original rom with sp flashtools (http://www.needrom.com/download/asus-x008/), when done download the updated rom from asus (http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZC520TL/UL-ASUS_X008-CN-13.0.0.12-user.zip) and put it outside folders, restart the smartphone the update will be detected.
I got the same problem as you before and now everything is ok I can call and receieve calls, the only hings is that there are only chinese and engliash languages and you have to install alternativbe store like apptoide because google services are not avalable on chinses rom.

i need help my phone is international model and i flashed this file and now i can't restore TWRP backup or needer i have imei or can detect sim card. where can i find UL-ZC520TL-WW-13.0.1.30-user but in RAW format for flashing with SPtools?
please help

I'm really stuck with this phone I can't use right now :crying:
What would be the best way to get it working again? Currently the IMEI is wrong, so I need to root my device in order to be able to use it. The ROM I'm using right now is the adapted CN version, but ofcourse I'd love to use the (real) WW version I noticed someone found on a Russian board. What should I do?

Turn on the permissions for Asus Calling Screen, they are off by default. Hope this helps

And also to sync Google Contacts, you need to install Google Contacts Sync (http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-0-2280749-android-6-0-android-apk-download/) which is not installed on the ROM. The 6.0.1 version of the app works, but can't say the same for the 7.0. I believe it's because the system is Marshmallow and the version number reflects the system version. Hope this helps

i've got a similar problem, after flashing the rom over at needrom, my phone does not charge anymore :-/ battery reimains at 2% ... does someone here know how to fix that?

This phone has OTG update, why do you need to flash any custom rom?

You should send it in to an asus service center. Doesn't your phone have a warranty?

About The New Way To Unlock Bootloader

Two days ago,I posted a new way to unlock bl.First, Its my mistake that I posted it ambiguous.
But the way really existed.I didnt lied.Beause I am not good at English.I just hope someone can hack it but I didnt express my idea exactly.My firend unlocked his bl by a specilist that controling remotely his computer. Maybe he used a tool like a Hard solution tool of HTC excetpt these adb cmd shared by me. He may shared his tool to my firend PC by Usbover(not sure).He would not publish his way.So my firend payed him money.But my firend took photos secretively when he was controling his computer.He firstly rewrited CID then downgraded to 7.1.1 from 7.1.2 by adb cmd (Maybe he used the special tool among the period.Then he flashed the ROM pacaged in a new way. he made it specially .Finally he unlocked bl. And all these steps was disussed by a group people not myself.We just dont have that tool. I have the address of the special ROM .[emoji40] Hoping someone can make it

Those screenshots dont make sense on a Pixel. The CID commands do not work on a Pixel.

Okay, responding to this, there are a few problems, and some interesting things.
The initial tool you mentioned must play a hell of an important role here.
By default, no Pixel has cid/mid read/write oem commands, and I don't know of a Pixel bootloader that does. This makes it odd. He then also uses htc_fastboot to flash "zip" which is a way to flashed signed RUU's on HTC phones. It is also worth noting he flashes NDE63H which was the first 7.1 build that shipped on the Pixel (vulnerable to DePixel8 at that point).
Our current bootloader doesn't support flashing "zip" either. It does oddly have a remnant oem rebootRUU command that does absolutely nothing, but we can't flash an RUU.
It is possible that there is some leaked signed HTC internal stuff being used here, which would explain the added HTC commands, and ability to flash an RUU. The only thing this wouldn't explain is why the rollback protection didn't block this (maybe their RUU doesn't include the older bootloader).
I don't know, additional information would be necessary to conclude anything about this.

I know this,my Verizon xl has been unlocked by the method.but the skill I don't have.days ago I buy the service from a merchant.the main method is downgrade the Android to 7.1.maybe someone can hack it.

But in fact.i cannot get the img and he must have some documents to crack the cid to 111111.than it will go to htc download mode.

Where did you buy the service from?

I'm still very dubious about this.
If there was a way, I've a feeling our developers would be aware of it here.
also, why is everything labelled HTC ?

I agree.. and HTC is the phone's manufacturer.

@jcase any ideas as this may be a good way for those to unlock the bootloader?

I would try
from taptalk

It looks like the file in question can be found here: http://www.easy-firmware.com/index.php?a=browse&b=category&id=16647
My GoogleFU is strong.
I am at work and cannot download to find out what is in it, as anything else I try to do on the site is blocked. I do not think this firmware is for the Pixel, but if someone with an idea how our phone works can download the file, we can see what's inside and if it looks applicable. I find the entire thing VERY dubious, but if there's a way we can write the CID on our Verizon models, believe me, I WILL change mine.
Edit: I found the file on two other websites. All of them had it behind a paywall, but I found a different file with the same naming convention on another site that wasn't paywalled. I downloaded that file just now and will see if it is even software for our phones. I suspect this might be fore the HTC One Mini, but I'll see what's in this zip.

It's one of the process,I cannot remember all the steps

Could you please put up link to service that unlocks bootloader

So the other file that I downloaded with a similar name: G-2PIMG_M1_WHL_N70_HTC_Generic_NMF26U_user_release_Radio_Not_Specify_release_493363_2 contains a _VERY_ weird set of zip files inside. Inside atleast one of the zip files is a signed bootloader. There's an Android file that has model descriptor numbers that match the Pixel XL per what I found here: https://www.techwalls.com/google-pixel-pixel-xl-model-number-differences/
Inside the file that has the signed BL image is a file that contains what looks like a list of steps that tell it to wipe every partition on the device. I have no idea what program would be used to flash this firmware in the format it's in (the system image is chopped up into small chunks, and there are other oddities). I am posting the file in question on my Google Drive. Can @jcase look at this or someone who's got more knowledge than I do about how these phones work?
File can be downloaded here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6BaDxaggle2YndJU2Ywd3BHRkk
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS GOOD, DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING FROM THIS ZIP UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT. IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE, I WILL DIE LAUGHING

I am posting the file in question on my Google Drive. Can @jcase look at this or someone who's got more knowledge than I do about how these phones work?

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS GOOD, DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING FROM THIS ZIP UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT. IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE, I WILL DIE LAUGHING

i tried flashing the file you uploaded* and now my phone won't turn on.. do you know why or can you fix it for me? lmao
jokes aside, thanks for looking so far into this, especially when it could have been a malicious file.

can you go into bootloader mode? If so, try running some htc commands

I havent tried flashing it, I need my phone for day-to-day purposes at work so I can't risk bricking it. only made a joke because of the necessary disclaimer

Missed that joke! Lol

After looking at this a bit, I don't have a good way to figure out if this bootloader is valid, and I'm not sure I want to buy a new phone if I brick my Pixel. If this actually does work, here's what I suspect was done. The file in question (possibly the specific version this guy used, maybe even the one I downloaded) is a version of the bootloader for our phone that supports additional commands. The guy installed the other version of the bootloader, changed the CID and other information then unlocked the bootloader. If I had a pixel laying around that had a broken screen or something, I would be willing to try to do what I think needs to be done to test this. That said someone else with more expertise may know of a way to check if the bootloader image is signed or check other things. I support the Beanstalk ROM on the Nexus 6 still but have not tried to make a build for the Pixel yet. While I am capable of making that happen, I am a retard compared to @jcase and others when it comes to this stuff.
