I just got the pixel 2 - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

It has the Feb 5th update on Verizon. Should I not take the March update and hope another exploit is found?

Hey no problem. Glad to help out. Now have to wait so I can unlock my phone. You think they would let me swap colors? I kinda want the white and black version

That color is not available on the regular pixel 2, but you can always exchange for a restocking fee

I can use the lki method to flash a recovery, this is so frustrating. BTW, I rooted my device on 11A then ota to 12B.
If you're on 12B then you need a recovery for 12B.

Question About Rooting 4.3 w/ NC1 Baseband

I have a friend that I've finally convinced to root his S3 that is on 4.3 with the NC1 baseband. What process do I need to follow to be able to do this for him? I won't have any problems with the steps, I'm just not sure where/how to proceed.

Will flahsing the ML1.tar also change the baseband or do I need a separate .tar for that as well? Also, am I correct in saying that the ML1 (4.3) bootloader can not be unlocked?

That is mostly correct. You can downgrade back to ML1 so you can root and run safestrap, but that's it. Trying to downgrade to anything before ML1 will brick your device.

I just suggested the same thing you mentioned her to another member. At least root is available. I'm trying to convince my gf who is getting a new S3 later today because of charging issues to root hers if its on 4.1.2. She's getting a new phone in just about 4 months anyways

My wife wouldn't let me root her S3, so she's locked up on the NC1 update. She loves the display on the Samsung, but she says Android is too complicated for her and she is always complaining she doesn't know how to use the phone. We are both eligible for upgrade so I'm considering trying to convince her we should upgrade - her to the iPhone5s and me to the S5. Just not sure I want the locked down bootloader. Need to get into a store to play with one.

Check out the new M8 man. I wasn't a huge fan of HTC when I had my thunderbolt but HTC has done a lot to change sense.
Yea she gets her new S3 today at some point and I'm hoping it's on 4.1.2

Well, with the way phones are getting locked down especially on Verizon, it seems the whole rooting and romming scene is kind of shrinking. It's getting to the point if you don't buy a Nexus or developer edition phone, you're going to be stuck with stock.

Yup, the S5 doesn't even have root yet. Very discouraging, but the m8 has good development, and stock on the m8 is very good.

lost Software upgrades

Hello All,
I have an unlocked AT&T LG G3 phone which I used with AT&T number till April 2015. Later, I left the country and now using it with Airtel.
After I left AT&T, there were 2 software upgrades for the phone, I received none.
I checked with AT&T, they said they will not support now, contact LG.
LG said, I will get updates when it is available, but no luck.
Can someone help ?? Thanks.

@KAsp3rd is pretty much the main reason it happened. I basically just sat there and ran it because his vm is lame. It's not finalized, but yeah.
T-Mobile LG-H901 used, this might help open them all up hopefully, but no idea yet because of all different bootloaders.
Great work !!!
I'll get a good build up for it within a day or so (depending on how real life treats me)
FYI this does require fastboot unlock. So yes you will lose all of your data and yes it will only work on T-Mobile
Oh and in case you didn't catch it... After this you'll be able to root

LG Backup on the phone does the trick.
Make sure you do backup before doing fastboot OEM unlock, and restore after that.

Marshmallow 6.0 Update Coming in December

Though I had been told verbally from a Samsung engineer that our Note 5 would get the update in December, This is the 1st written confirmation from the U.K Times via phoneareana
So, basically we are about 4 weeks +/- from receiving our update ....... good news !!

I think the written document is regarding the unlocked Note 5. However, T-mobile is pretty quick about their updates. I have hope we'll still get it in December.
Link isn't working for me either but I did see a notification stating the N920T will have a Marshmellow upgrade for sure. As much as I like to run the latest & geatest, the Marshmellow update is one that I will not be jumping on right away until I hear plenty of feedback on it.
