Before I did the update I had the phone rooted. I didnt loose root. now I have a question that if anyone can help please. Is the verizon xperia Z2 tablet unable to have custom roms and flashed? I followed the link to unlock the bootloader and it says its not available. Is there a method to unlock without the option for Sony website?

As far as I know, no bootloader unlock. Also don't think anyone is working on it. Not sure though.

You don't need to have unlocked bootloader to install custom rom. Only when installing custom kernel.

can someone direct me where to look because everything i find shows that your need an unlocked bootloader to use custom roms, and custom recovery. Also doesnt that void the use of custom roms? you would use a custom kernel on that.

You can find custom recovery here:

I'm afraid that so far no luck with custom roms because only ones for this device are cm or aspects based wich include custom kernel. We need developers for custom roms with stock kernel.

[Discussion] OTAs on Rooted Huawei/Honor phones- Confirmed

Saw many post from new users and senior members as well and most of the time there are lot of confusion on the OTA part, especially for the rooted phone. Few says it gets (I am one of them) and few says it doesn’t as rooting capabilities modifies the system boot.img and also we have unlocked bootloader so device wont get the OTAs. I have been using the Huawei/Honor phones for 2 years now and have been getting all the OTAs on rooted phone and confirmed the same many time but still there are lot of confusion and users thinks they wont get OTA on rooted phone.
Just confirming here that you will receive OTAs on rooted phone without any issues. This is 2nd update on my phone since rooted in past 2 months.

Instructions-
If you are rooted but then rolled back to stock recovery, just download the OTA and update.
If you are rooted with TWRP recovery, flash the stock recovery first and then download the OTA to update. (TWRP wont be able to update OTA)

My phone is with modified boot.img by magisk. It was just updated to B388 sucessfully without swithing back to stock boot.

Yes it will need stock recovery

If I go back to stock recovery what happens to all my apps and settings that need root?
What's the best way to backup, flash stock, update then restore?
PS I'm coming from a iPhone.
Thanks,

It will remain intact. No data loss. Well Chris, i can confirm on the OTA part but you never know the unforeseen consequences. I mean can run into trouble sometimes as Huawei/Honor phones are prone to brick in seconds. I would say to not update in such scenarios.

Google camera on Moto g5 plus without root

When I try to install Google camera on my g5 plus,it says the app is not compatible with the device.Any ways to make it work without rooting my device?

Nope
Not until Motorola brings Android Oreo to Moto g5 plus

I installed this google camera and its working for me on stock. try it
https://www.apkmirror.com/wp-conten...-2GDcy6NYMGxXowc/Z/D+BVLECMnnuj0kr28kkYmr3l8=

You don't need root but you do need 64bit Oreo for any recent gcam.

There's also a way to just edit the build.prop by pulling it from adb, editing the file and pushing it back but I'm staying stock at the moment because of the fact that they void warranty just by unlocking bootloader. Also, I honestly haven't felt the need to unlock and change ROM.

Thanks a lot bro @RokCruz,it worked.....BTW is there any ways to bring the HDR+ option and portrait mode?

maybe he refered to this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/guide-enable-camera2-api-root-t3690366
but you need unlocked bootloader and twrp, keep in mind that this hava tested on redmi note 4 not on Moto G5

Since unlocking bootloader on moto is a bit different, replace the unlocking and relocking commands with your specific device and then maybe this would work. Make sure to backup your important data before trying this out, also correct installation of adb and fastboot drivers with usb debugging and oem unlock enabled is prerequisite.

The only reason if this might not work would be because of that nougat rom,

Widevine on custom ROM?

Hello, I would like to know if I will lose widevine L1 on Pixel Experience or Xiaomi.eu ROM, and if yes, is there a way to enable it again?

All I know is that weekly xiaomi.eu is L3. I don't know about the stable xiaomi.eu, tho.

Hi, europe, drm info app: L1

I'm actually getting Widevine L1 on official MIUI roms (I needed to reflash them after I unlocked the bootloader), stable xiaomi.eu, all the GSI roms and on lazyindian's lineage.
Unfortunately, all the roms provided by letsmakecakes are showing up a Widevine L3 drm.

In order to root your rom you need to unlock the bootloader as far as I know, so yes, you'll be downgraded to L3. In my case, flashing again the MIUI after unlocking the bootloader fixed it.
The mere presence of root should not affect L1

No, it isn't. My bootloader is still unlocked, but I'm still getting Widevine L1 on DRM info, as shown in the screenshot below.

"Unknown Phh Treble Vanilla" which means that I had flashed (and I am currently running) a GSI rom: I obviously had to unlock my bootloader in order to do that.
I've also checked again via fastboot.

Bad news guys:
I can't get neither Netflix nor Amazon Prime to run in HD on my unlocked Redmi Note 7, despite the Widevine L1.

GSI is not recommanded, above all on a new device without a knowed tools for Unbrik / Reset default rom/settings if you encounter problem.
I advise to you just waiting, time to know when / how this device can be brick/unbrick, if it's free (Like Odin for Samsung or MSM for old OnePlus [from OP 10 it's now paid lol !) or paid (like EDL mode Xiaomi)

Somebody needs to make a tool in order to shrink the comically large status bar and remove the ugly google search bar on home screen

It's premature to say whether this is possible or not, as the Phone(1) was released only 5 days ago.
But knowing Carl, I think that everything will be allowed on this smartphone so that it can be used by many people.
It will be necessary to wait a little before having a personalized recovery and thus being able to develop around the Phone(1).

No. Even in old OnePlus unlock bootloader don't void warranty.
Only desimlock a device is not legal/void warranty on a lot country.
Also SAMSUNG devices have warranty void when Knox is 0x1 (Root once, never retrieve 0x0 even after relock/install untouched/genuine rom)
