HTC Stocks currency problem

The HTC Stocks app has the best widget of all other currency apps, so I was using it on my 1.5 Hero for displaying the EURO/GBP (EURGBP=X) rate.
After the 2.1 rom update I have a strange problem. When I try to add a new ticker for "eurgbp=x", I get the error message: "Unable to recognize the company name or stock symbol you typed. Please try again." However, this worked in the past like a charm. I have to note that adding "gbp=x" or "usd=x" works fine, with no problem at all.
Maybe this problem is related to an updated version of the Stocks app in the new rom. Is anyone experiencing the same problem? I haven't found a similar thread for a Sense Android phone. The same problem exists in the latest rom of HD2, but people have figured a work-around, by changing a file under "Application Data\HTC\", but this file doesn't exist on Android.
Any help would be more than welcome!

I experience the same problem (although I'm on VillainRom12). Previously adding currencies (EURUSD=X etc) was working, but right now I am unable to find it. This could be HTC problem as it was working fine on 1.5, but this could be also some Yahoo search glitch (I am unable to search for that quotes on mobile version of the Yahoo Finance page, while the desktop version works fine). The only workaround to that was to edit manually SQLite database of Stocks application (but this may require root - I can provide details if necessary). Once I added appropriate entries to the list of stocks, it seems to be working fine (it is displaying my currencies, but the search still does not work).
One other deficiency I found was the fact that graphs are not cached anymore - If I open the application and check for example a daily graph, I need to update it in order to see any chart - each time, even if I switch from 1D to 5D and back. It is also automatically updated each time I visit given tab, if I enable the automatic updates. Previously this app displayed previously cached graph. I'm not sure whether this happens also on stock 2.1 ROM.

Now that you mention it, I have the same problem with the graphs in the 2.1, too. It worked (showed the cashed graph) in the 1.5, but not any more. Blank graph until it updates.
Can you provide me some guidance about how to edit the Stocks' database? At least a link to something similar would be much appreciated. Can I access the phone's system folder without rooting it, through my PC (Win, Linux, whatever)?

I'm new in the business, so I'm not sure if the root is necessary. You can try it, anyway to see if you will be able to push and pull files from the directory where Stocks stores its database.
Here's what I did:
Enable USB Debugging in Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging
Download Android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
In command line go to subdirectory tools of Android SDK
Close Stocks app and remove Stocks widget from the screen
Connect Phone via USB
... (Beginning of the optional part) ...
Go to Android shell
Code:
adb shell
List any processes to see if there's a com.htc.android.Stock process (like in this case)...
Code:
ps | grep Stock
7605 10007 130m S com.htc.android.Stock
7619 0 2156 S grep Stock
Kill any Stock processes (using the value in the first column):
Code:
kill 7605
Exit to command line
Code:
exit
... (End of the optional part) ...
Pull the Stock database:
Code:
adb pull /data/data/com.htc.dcs.service.stock/databases/stock.db stock.db
Sample output:
Code:
d:\Projects\Android\tools>adb pull /data/data/com.htc.dcs.service.stock/databases/stock.db stock.db
568 KB/s (5120 bytes in 0.008s)
Backup, just in case:
Code:
copy stock.db stock_backup.db
Run sqlite3
Code:
sqlite3 stock.db
Enable headers in sqlite:
Code:
.headers on
List contents of quotes table:
Code:
select * from quotes;

See if that worked
I hope HTC (or Yahoo) will be able to fix that, because the above is really a long process...

Anyway, I can't make it work. Entering "ps | grep Stock" gives me a "grep: permission denied" error message. I did some searching and I believe this is what people mean by saying "you need root access", right? I'll come back when I'm rooted (i.e. when I find a decent guide for rooting 2.1).
Thanks for your time & effort man. I really appreciate it.

You can try to omit the "optional" part (steps 6-9) - the ps thing was just to make sure that Stock isn't running. But I noticed anyway that it never ran in the background when I closed it on the phone. Try to adb pull and adb push and see if you'll get any permission issues. If you do, then you indeed need a root (sorry I can't check that as I'm rooted)

A couple of days ago I updated the ROM of my HTC TD2, with the most recent one of HTC (WM6.5, Sense 2.5.20113030.0). Afterwards I noticed that I also could not get the stock app to accept the code EURUSD=X.
You mention the following
The same problem exists in the latest rom of HD2, but people have figured a work-around, by changing a file under "Application Data\HTC\", but this file doesn't exist on Android.

Can you tell me what that work-around is or point me to it? Hopefully this can help me.

Thank you for the link (which I am not allowed to repost ).
Last Monday I wrote an e-mail to HTC about this problem and a couple of days later I got a reply. They told me they tried to search for the currency rate (eurusd) and that they got a result. So I tried again and lo and behold I got a result as well. Searching for eurusd=x gave me a result while last weekend it was not working.
So I tried several other currency rates and they all rendered a result, also eurgbp=x. Perhaps it is also fixed for the Android app.
[Extra information added below]
Tried again and nothing
I was connected with a data connection to my carrier, so I switched to my wifi connection. Tried again and... result.
So it seems to be a difference in communication between an ordinary data connection and a wifi connection. Maybe this will help someone

Wird problem. I tried it too on both UK and Greek carriers and on WiFi, but nothing. No result for either of them: "eurgbp=x", "eurgbp", "eurusd=x", "eurusd". I have been trying occasioanly more than one month now.
I think I should drop them an email too...

Why don't you do a soft (temporary) root and make the database entries as described in here? I did it and now I got all the stuff I need, and no trace of root on the device.

Nexus 5 Jolla Store fix, warehouse install, and keyboard predictions

Found this answer deep in a Jolla thread and it worked like a charm, so I thought I would bring it to light for anyone trying to enable/fix these features on their Nexus 5 running Sailfish OS:
All credit to @5pik3
Download the newest version on your Jolla device here: https://openrepos.net/content/basil/warehouse-sailfishos
Go to terminal (or dev SSH access)
Acquire root permissions with
Code:
devel-su
Type in the password from the developer options panel in the settings app
Now execute this code, line by line
Code:
ssu dr home
ssu dr adaptation0
zypper refresh
If you get a prompt here, type yes (you may have to do it 2 times)
Code:
pkcon install-local /home/nemo/Downloads/harbour-warehouse-[version].armv7hl.rpm
(Replace '[version]' with the version you are installing)
Code:
pkcon install store-client jolla-xt9 jolla-xt9-cp
And that is it! Jolla store should work, Warehouse should be installed, and after a reboot, you will have keyboard predictions!
OP:
5pik3 said:
If you want to install warehouse app download from here https://openrepos.net/content/basil/warehouse-sailfishos
Now open your terminal app or use the ssh access.
You need to have root permissions with 'devel-su'. Enter your password (the one in the developper options in the settings app).
Now you have to disable some repos : enter 'ssu dr home' and 'ssu dr adaptation0'.
Try a litle 'zypper refresh' and you will see no more authentication errors
And you can install the warehouse app with 'pkcon install-local /home/nemo/Downloads/harbour-warehouse-0.3-20.armv7hl.rpm'
And finally you type 'pkcon install store-client jolla-xt9 jolla-xt9-cp'
You can now have the keyboard prediction's and have both warehouse and jolla store to work

pkcon install store works fine on nexus 7 grouper but installing things from within the store gives an error to me

You are typing it in, it is just not showing up (this is a security feature for every linux distro). So, type the password in (even though it is not showing up) and hit enter, it will work.

My Overheat Heat and flash problem issues leading to
OEM Motherboard replacement and acquiring ROOT again​
OP Note : read the whole guide or for that matter any OP​
Thanks to many XDA-Developers forums, if you are not quoted or mentioned here I will add you !!
Device : Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Verizon SM-910V this OP ONLY !!!
Code:
[COLOR=Red][B]Your warranty is now void.[/B][/COLOR]
*most likely you don't have a warranty because you broke it, ROM'd it, its old and past warranty anyway !**
So, There is no warranty anyway, not even if you did anything in this thread to it
We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or your getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this guide
before flashing it! (thanks @hsbadr)
YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
you point the finger at anyone for messing up your device, we will laugh at you
Symptoms : ROMs not flashing/installing , crashing, High heat, low battery life on new battery hardware note working specifically fingerprint.
Problems : digging through many forums 2 years later to root and unlock the bootloader, it took DAYS
Solution: keep track of my progress and make a useful step by step NOOB guide for Everything !

If you have to replace the motherboard, and you have any other futzy component, might as well order it at this point, your going through pretty much the same process. I am only doing the motherboard, but the cameras and USB board are right there as well on this repair
I have been running a rooted Verizon Galaxy note 4 since Cynogenmod crashed and switched to Lineageos 14 and then 15.
Here is the forum
https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...eo-8-1-0-unofficial-lineage-15-1-rom-t3760969​
After several suggestions and searches, many users hinted I may be getting a Bad internal memory,
which refuses to write anymore.
So I had to go to Walmart and buy a LG Straight talk phone to use as my daily driver,
Then I ordered a new motherboard from China, 29.00 on Aliexpress.
See OP thread #2 below!! It was not fun searching for it, but I saved $20 to $40 from buying on ebay
What I bought may not be available from this seller, but here is the link. Use a desktop browser, it will show "suggested" other devices...

When I received it , it was time to look for a repair procedure on YouTube.
Hardware needed: thin shim and 00 size phillips, AND a blank cheap SD card you don't mind losing. It may be unusable after we are done

In the second video, you can see the phone booting up as a test to see if you have all the connections correct.
Because it came from china, its a good idea to setup your user and
download the app CPUz before you put all the screws back in,
and check to see if you have a real or fake chipset.
Yaayyyy mine was real . Thanks Aliexpress.
Button it up and do a factory reset (it booted up set up as a no user) so I wanted a fresh install oem with my user.
Section 2: Installing the Correct rootable OEM rom so we can install Anything else.
FIRST check to see if you have the emmc brickbug or you will BRICK it !!
1. Google play store install eMMC Brickbug
If your long number starts with 15xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, YOU are Golden ! if not STOP, get another board ! or you are going to waste time , and get another board !
The Galaxy Note 4 Verizon had a special custom locked bootloader installed after the 4.4.4 release to 5.0.1 and made it very difficult to get
root access to your device.
I saw the notice
DON'T UPDATE YOUR BOOTLOADER TO ANYTHING AFTER THE LATEST BUILD AS OF 4/19/16
warning about a week to late. So I finished out my 2 year contract and watched the forums.
Seriously noobs, don't update your new motherboard ...
The rom pre-installed on my replacement motherboard was already setup booted to a running 5.0.1 oem rom, I could not root it.. with any method I remember downgrading my 6.x.x to 5.1.1 in one of the many forums listed here at XDA
This one was the one I used back then, and It turned out that is where I started..
Only a Verizon Samsung Galaxy note 4 Developer Edition has the ability to install custom roms, and most likely the motherboard you bought or have is NOT a developer edition
IF you have a eMMC that starts with 15 we can reprogram it a developer edition
Thanks to @hsbadr
Here are most of the downloads we need:

Section 3 Achieve temporary root to install bootloader fix
In my try to obtain temporary root, I tried every method in all the forums ( go ahead and look and try )
The only 2 programs that reported to work is Kingroot, and Kingoroot. These are APK's that are NOT in the play store
you will have to download them and install them as unknown sources. I was only able to install kingroot . Kingoroot apk would not install
in both my 5.0.1 original on my motherboard, as well as what we just installed 5.1.1 I was unsucessful at obtaining root with these programs
Then I remembered Kingoroot has a windows version that installs on the PC <dangerous dont install yet>
On your PC you will need AVG antivirus to catch the malware ( other antivirus may work but this is what I had ) my PC is windows 7 ultimate
Advanced Users only :Recommend running a virtual machine with windows so as to keep your PC completely malware free. just delete the VM after this process !
This section you will need on your Note 4 from the Play Store : root checker
You will need a throw away SD card
You will need read through section 4 and 5 and get all files and programs there ready to install use and or transfer
0.5 update your AVG
1. With AVG installed on my PC, and my phone connected as a mtp with usb I downloaded and installed Kingoroot for windows.
https://www.kingoapp.com/
NOTE after not being able to install forum recommended kingoroot apk's i dint want wast time install the newest kingoroot apk from the website. Maybe it will work for you. If you do get kingoroot apk to work on your Note 4 let me know.
2. In the install process for kingoroot windows version AVG will quarantine a file.
there will be a couple popups .. close them
when its installed it will open and start talking to your phone.
3. press the root button.
It will take 30 sec to a minute to install some files on your phone and achieve root, there will be a new floating toolbar on the phone. root will disappear after a reboot, but not the resident programs this root is pretty stable, but i was not able to install SuperSUME (paid version ) as recommended in a XDA guide to obtain permanent root for this 5.1.1 rom. If your successful with super SUme with this let me know.
4. Open root checker to verify ! yayy.
5. Cleanup instructions when finished with this guide below
Section 4: Use of ADB to (windows and Linux ) to copy over bootloader fix
1. Your Note4 phone should be running with root, make sure phone is connected
Explanation : ADB is a Google provided tool for the android platform. It communicates with your phones operating system , transfers files , and actuates programs remotely in the background. totally necessary for development of ROM's, TWRP, and programs for every android device
You may or may not know that your android device is running a Linux kernel, with some Linux programs, with custom folders and custom files and settings, and the touch screen is the GUI graphical user interface touch input.
ADB is a command line user interface, when you turned this on in Developer settings, the kernel is listening constantly on the USB com port and some times on the WiFi com port for commands. if you don't need it turn it off, it could be a security hole, but we need it on.
It works great on windows, mac, or Linux varieties
2. Install on your computer
Code:
[URL]https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools[/URL]
If you have linux, your distribution may have a package you can install from your distribution. Then it will be in your path as a command
3. Windows users , extract or install into c:/ADB and add that to your PATH variable if you want to use it all the time as a command
4. Open a command prompt window (search command or cmd , right click open as administrator)
5. If you have ADB folder in your path or are running Linux change directories to the folder where you downloaded the Samsung n4 fix file
6. You should still have root
type
Code:
adb devices
The ADB daemon ( little server program ) will start and return some information.
your phone will have a popup screen and should ask for permission, click allow
again type
Code:
adb devices
7. You should see something like this
Code:
List of devices attached
123a12ab device
The 123a12ab is made up. Yours will be specific to your device.
If you see something listed like the above adb is working. Now on to the next command to move the Samsung_unlock_n4-fix to the phone.
type dir ( or ls -al for Linux users ) to verify Samsung_unlock_n4-fix is in your directory
8. Send Unlocker to Phone with adb
Type or copy and paste the following command:
Code:
adb push samsung_unlock_n4-fix /data/local/tmp/
You should see successful output .
If you don't, check your PATH, check if your in the right folder, or make sure samsung_unlock_n4-fix is in your adb folder
9. Activate the unlocker. This requires root and a reboot. After the reboot you have to go and reactivate root in Section 3.3 above
type the following
Code:
adb shell
Congratulations you are now looking at the linux command line interface on your phone . the $ prompt means you are in the shell
10. activate superuser mode ( kind of like administrator in windows but more powerful )
type
Code:
su
then press enter key
YOU SHOUD NOW SEE a # prompt
This means you succeed in root. If you dont see a # you missed a step above somewhere , or your root was unstable and took too long to get to this point,that is why I said read thru this section and get ready..
Ok at this point we have the file we needed transfered, we have root, now we need to upgrade the permissions on the file so #root level of the operating system can use it !
The next command does all that then executes the command to upgrade your phone to developer edition !
Copy and paste the following command series and press enter.the && joins each command
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp/ && chmod 777 samsung_unlock_n4-fix && chown root.root samsung_unlock_n4-fix && ./samsung_unlock_n4-fix
The device will reboot and flash the developer code.
You should see some sort of progress in the window.
When done ,unplug the cable and pull the battery to shut down phone.
11. Make sure you have a cheap throwaway SD card installed !
One More Time to unlock the boot loader !! section 3 and 4 short version
Put the battery and cable back in and turn the phone back on and make sure its plugged in your PC.
Now repeat the kingoroot PC to gain temp root
open a command prompt or shell
type or copy paste the following to verify its connected
Code:
adb devices
transfer the fix
Code:
adb push samsung_unlock_n4-fix /data/local/tmp/ && a
open the shell on your phone
Code:
adb shell
gain super user rights
Code:
su
unlock the boot loader
same command series
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp/ && chmod 777 samsung_unlock_n4-fix && chown root.root samsung_unlock_n4-fix && ./samsung_unlock_n4-fix
You will see your phone do a series of outputs then reboot. when it reboots, disconnect the cable.
If this step is sucessful your phone will keep rebooting. This is NORMAL . after the first or second reboot, pull the battery and pull the sd card, and set the sdcard aside. It will need to be thrown out or repartititioned to be usable. or you can keep it as a memento on your charm bracelet.
Your bootloader is NOW UNLOCKED . keep phone off until you read the next section
Section 5a: install TWRP custom recovery
Currently right now you have 5.1.1 installed with some Chinese malware on your phone and PC,
A custom developer edition and an unlocked boot loader. Lets fix them all.
Turn on phone download mode . <down volume><home><power> then volume up to enter download mode
Open Odin again ( see above )
Connect phone ( look for com and blue bar )
Select AP button, and browse to TWRP file
Press start. when finished phone will restart.
Don't let it boot all the way back up! , pull battery, and install good SD card, and if you read this section you downloaded what you needed for a new ROM onto your sdcard
Turn off the automatic rebooting in the custom tab, DO NOT select the PIT tab
Press start
Once it finishes it will say Success or FAILED
IF it says FAILED start the whole process over! you didn't unlock the bootloader !
If success, Power off the phone with the pull battery method and disconnect your cable
Press and hold these buttons immediately to enter TWRP ,
<volume up> <home> <power>.
Swipe to allow changes in TWRP.
Select backup , change to SD card, You can also plug in a memory device into the USB port. If it sees it you will be able to use that for backup space
BACKUP everything . You now have a custom recovery installed, a unlocked bootloader, and a rootable ROM Backed UP !
If you feel you want to do this all over again if you flash the OEM Samsung ROM via Odin by accident like I did, ha ha skip the next steps
Select the backup button, select all the partitions, select the source, where you want to store it.
Name the backup rooted-backup-everything-5.1.1
Select start and go make some coffee or a sandwich. its about 4 gigabytes compression, so it may take about 5 to 10 minutes
Clean up -
uninstall windows kingoroot PC and do a virus check
check for hidden folders and registry entries
Section 5b. Install your first ROM
Cleanup : After your backup WIPE your phone twice
THIS IS TO guarantee, no Kingoroot or kingroot stuff is in the phone !!!
WIPE IT TWICE !!!
Some guides (listed below ) say to adb sideload over a root file , then install an older rom. I haven tried this. Let me know if you did and are successful.
Whatever ROM you use, please post a success story in the reply's. I am interested in how you all do.
I have tried every note 4 ROM and this is the most succesful for me and most stable
I have been using this ROM for a while, and the lineageos 14 version too
Code:
[URL]https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/oreo-8-1-0-unofficial-lineage-15-1-rom-t3760969[/URL]
In most all ROMS, you can update the bootloader (TWRP) by TWRP app if rooted
you can update the modem ( a partition that contains original Samsung code to run the cell and wireless ) via ODIN
Roms and patches and other goodies can be installed via TWRP by downloading to your device or transfering them to your sd card
Oem ROMS must be installed via ODIN, and will WIPE all you just accomplished. so unless your selling your device, or giving it to grandma DONT.
If you copied the rom ( usually a zip file ) and the necessary files, and have upgraded your bootloader and modem to the newest,
Now install your ROM, and after your initial setup, come back to TWRP and do a full backup !
every time you try a new rom, and get it set up, do a backup. that way you can switch and test to your hearts desire till you run out of SD memory.
The cool thing is you can backup to an external memory device ! more room !
Follow the directions in the OP of your ROM to install. Enjoy

Update:
Looking for a motherboard for a 910 that's not a v?
Thanks to user @maralexbar I need to update some info
Method 1 use eBay. Find your correct motherboard easily.
Method 2. Save some money use Ali Express ( China )
If you use Ali, and don't find your motherboard on a direct search, keep digging.
I forgot to mention this.
Looking for my Verizon motherboard, I found lots of parts like the USB internal connector etc. But no mobo. I had to go thru the store listing of the seller of the USB connector to find a vendor that had a mobo. Then I tried comparing different vendors. So do some digging. There is a billion people on Ali express selling stuff. Don't give up.
Plus Ali wants happy international buyers. So if you get a bogus item, you get your money back.

The lineage-17.1 thread is up!
[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][10] LineageOS 17.1 [tblte][trlte][trlteduos]
If you don't mind not having a working fingerprint sensor, or audio through the headphone jack, then Q is stable enough for daily use. As always when coming from an older rom version, it is highly recommended not to waste your time dirty flashing and just clean flash.
Q is still a work in progress, so I will still be releasing Pie builds, though maybe not as often. As in years past, once the Q bugs have been fixed up to the current Pie level, I will post about when my last Pie build will be. I will upload it to the Downloads tab located at the top of each page of this thread, and link it in the OP.

Display automatically turns yellow at fixed timing.

Every night from 11pm to 6am, my device screen turns itself into night mode(yellow tint). I have set Reading Mode off since the day I bought. Back in previous device(Redmi Note 4, mido) I had Pixel Experience ROM installed. In that I had turned on night mode with the same timing(11pm to 6am). Did Google restored this setting too? I want to turn it off in my K20 device.
Need help!
Redmi K20 Indian version.

I'm having the same issue on my k20. At sunset(~6:30), even though my reading mode settings are off, the display becomes warm/yellow. Can't seem to fix it. Have you managed to solve your issue?

This happens when all your old phone settings synced with your new mobile while setting it up. anyway you may not be aware of that while setting it up.
Here's the solution:-
Download system ui tuner from the playstore.
Give it the permissions it need using command prompt.
You can see some new options in your notification panel which is 'night mode' at click it when the yellow light turn's on.

Turn off the reading mode?
I have no problems here at night. Its only "warm" when its turned on. Maybe you could turn off the time settings also?

Run these commands in adb
Code:
adb shell 'settings list secure
You will see many device settings in which you need to modify Night display and then run these commands.
Code:
adb shell 'settings put secure night_display_activated 0'
adb shell 'settings put secure night_display_auto_mode 0'
That's it, it will turn off permanently.

Any update please
Are you fix this issue please feed me back?

I confirm this too, its warm but not like read mode. It's just more warm
Edit : try with stable xiaomi.eu ans turn yellow at 10pm without read mode activated...

Impossible for me, have :
Security exception: grantRuntimePermission: Neither user 2000 nor current process has android.permission.GRANT_RUNTIME_PERMISSIONS
EDIT : It's ok ! just dont have turn all 3 usb debugging options on for miui

Digital wellbeing under settings. Turn wind down off.

Is this issue fixed? I have this issue too. How can I fix this without using adb or pc? Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot, finally I got the solution for this problem. After months thinking that was MIUI bug, I understand now what happened.
When I was on Pixel Experience and returned to MIUI, this yellow screen issue begin.
To run this commands, it's necessary to enable "USB debugging (Security settings)" in developer settings (as I saw on Stackoverflow).

The only way I think it's use another phone with stock android or install Pixel Experience, and revogue the Night Mode from stock android. After a time, when Google account sync , when you return to MIUI this issue probably won't happen again.

[Guide] Root Pixel XL Android 11 (R)

[Guide] Root Pixel XL Android 11 (R) Unlock/Lock Bootloader + Install Custom ROMS + Update Magisk/Systemless Root​
Introduction
This Guide is for Google Pixel XL owners that want to Install/Flash Custom ROMs, and enjoy the benefits of rooting it. The Guide is divided into three parts: Information, Instructions, and Other.
~ ~ ~ Part I - INFORMATION ~ ~ ~
Disclaimers
I assume no responsibility for the malfunctioning/bricking of your phone.
The order of listed items i.e., Custom Kernels, Custom ROMS, etc. Does not indicate my preference for them. It is your responsibility to do the research before selecting an item.
Prerequisites
A Pixel XL phone with an unlocked bootloader.
An Android 11 (R) Custom ROM(s) (Update(s) 9. below).
A Computer with the latest working SDK Platform-tools r. 34.0.3 installed.
Important Notes:
If you use the Linux or Windows version of SDK Platform- tools r. 34.0.3 you must set the environment variable - See Note(s) for instructions on setting the enviroment Variable
If you have any problems with SDK Platform-tools 34.0.3. You can get SDK Platform-tools 33.0.3 here.
Before installing SDK Platform-tools, check for older versions of fastboot on your computer: Open a Command prompt and type fastboot --version at the prompt. If a adb/fastboot is found delete the folder containing them. Also, check the path environment for paths to them and remove it.
Update Platform Tools, regularly, for optimal performance.

Has anyone tried using the current TWRP and Magisk?

I don't think those steps for rooting with canary give us full root, I was able to install adaway, but if i try to use a root uninstaller to remove Chrome (system app) it shows "Rooted, but cannot grant RW permissions on /system"
It seems no app can obtain root access to /System, i tested it with Root Explorer and the "mount /R/W" button does nothing when trying to mount the /System folder.

Yes. Didn't work, just rebooted twice (I think) then booted directly into android.

Hey that worked. Thanks.

I have 10 on my phone. I just took the OTA a few hours ago. This may be a bit off topic but I can't get picture to play on Amazon video or Google movies only audio and captions. Hulu YouTube and Netflix work fine.
EDIT: AFTER A RESTART ALL VIDEO APPS WORK FINE. I'M THE dumbass ?

Useless without twrp

There is an installer for TWRP, "twrp-installer-3.3.1-0-marlin.zip" but because it doesn't follow the naming convention for all the previous releases "twrp-pixel-installer-marlin X.X.X" it appears at the bottom of the list of installers instead of the top.

Is anyone having good results with the battery life? It sucks for me.

Hi
Why the pixel imprint suddenly gone from my pixel xl?

I used your guide to unlock bootloader and get root on Android 10 and it worked perfectly. Thanks.

The battery life only got bad after I upgraded, so I doubt it's hardware.

How long have you been on Android 10? It always takes a few days at least for everything to settle down. More battery usage early.

There is an installer for TWRP, "twrp-installer-3.3.1-0-marlin.zip" but because it doesn't follow the naming convention for all the previous releases "twrp-pixel-installer-marlin X.X.X" it appears at the bottom of the list of installers instead of the top.

Wait, so that newest version of twrp does work with 10 on pixel XL?

It works but it cannot decrypt. You will have to remove any passwords/patterns before booting into it

No, sadly we're still waiting. I was just offering a correction.

so i did the magisk patched method but i still don't have root in magisk? i took the boot.img out of the factory image and did it as i was told to...
anything i'm missing?
it's flashing it to boot_a, is it supposed to do something else?
