Update 1.82

Have you guys seen this yet?
http://briefmobile.com/download-att-one-x-update-with-wifi-fix
It supposedly fixes the wifi issues, has anyone downloaded it? If so, have you noticed if any of the other reported issues are fixed?

I imagine this removes root, correct?

I imagine it would, but I guess that's up to you if the update is worth losing root.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649658

look in the dev section we already have a download of it available, and it says root still works

is there anyway to backup the phone before the update? Because it states that the update will delete everything in my phone

what do you want to backup? most of it you can backup by transferring to a pc, or apps use titanium backup.

Has anyone tried this? Even though it says official, why would it be here and not through ATT or HTC?

I was wondering the same.

i really dont doubt its credibility. but if your scared, wait for the official eta
no ones putting a gun to your head and telling you to flash it lol

What does "smoother / better performance" mean? Not literally, but what exactly has been altered here except the WiFi fix?

Why doesn't this anonymous person leak an unlock bootloader lol

Like someone asked previously does this still allow you to get ota updates?

and od you have an idea of improvments

I downloaded it last night and these are the things I noticed.
-I do have to note that I didn't have the wifi issue so I can't comment on that.
-The notification led bug still exists where you turn it off yet it still seems to blink.
-When I click on YouTube link it actually takes me to the YouTube app instead of the mobile page.
- I haven't noticed any difference in speed and performance. Seems the same to me.

Freeze or uninstall SDM and reboot. That's what I did, saw some other post here saying the same thing.

I'm running rooted stock and it's forcing me as well. I thought it was disabled on all the root roms even stock ones? Not sure how to stop it other than keep defering it.

OTA
I just accepted the OTA, restored to factory defaults, one step rooted it, got rom manager from the play store, booted into clockwork and then reapplied my rom. No biggie.

Just because it worked ok on yours doesn't mean it will on everyone's. Good way to brick your device...

Is this the new security fix? I heard there was a major browser vulnerability.

Probably not, they don't like to fix actual problems. They prefer to make minor tweaks and such to their bloat instead. You didn't want your device to actually work as advertised did you?

What's up crew?
After my update the baseband version is I535VRLG7.
I used Mobile Odin pro to PRE-ROOT the OTA before flashing it.... Successfully I should add.
I don't have the OTA Handy for you though, but if you do a little searching around this forum I'm sure someone has it here for downloading.
The OTA did not update my modem though, I had to flash the G7 baseband version separately. Found it on RootzWiki.
Edit:
Found it: OTA update.

You guys can .... SAFELY... check your device to see if you're vulnerable to the hack on this site.
http://www.androiddoes.net/news/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-ussd-hack-test/
Read up on the page.. it says something about if Your Dialer screen coming up and your IMEI is being displayed on it then you have the Vulnerability.. if nothing happens.. or if your dialer comes up with nothing being displayed then you're probably safe.

The phone wipe hack was fixed months ago on the S3. I took the OTA then unlocked (casual) and unlocked boot loader (EZ Unlock). No problems no issues. Slammed Beans 12 non-kexec back on it and I really don't see any difference.... World didn't end Phone police didn't knock my door down.... Nothing....

Root?

Been looking around to see if there are any legit root methods available yet for the Pixel. So far, I've found this: http://www.technobuzz.net/root-google-pixel-xl/ anyone know if this is legit? Are there any legit methods yet?

From what I've seen there isn't a version of TWRP for the Pixel yet, however I'd love to be proven wrong.

He also stated that TWRP cannot handle the new file encryption yet, so .zips would need to be uploaded in recovery which is wonky for some, as well as the dual system partition fiasco is not handled yet. So *soon* might be more like a few weeks...

Out of curiosity, what are you guys wanting to do with root? First thing I'm going to do is replace system emojis with iOS ones.

As of 10/20, from the source:
Chainfire said:
This is the first device with Android's new partition layout. Having looked at the firmwares and at running devices (remotely), I have some ideas on how to do it.
However, it will be a while before I have SuperSU fixed up. The changes will be quite a bit of work and testing, and doing so remotely will make that take significantly longer. So I'm just going to wait for my own device, but as they aren't available in my country, it has to be shipped from another country and go through customs. I don't expect my device to arrive for another week or two.
In the meantime, it's always possible someone else releases root for it.
I saw @jcase and @Dees_Troy have been playing with TWRP, to me it seems wholly possible to fix that up (mostly) as well. But even if TWRP is released tomorrow, using the existing SuperSU ZIP will not work on it, due to all the breaking changes in Android 7.1.

Indeed. Once chainfire gets his device, things should begin to roll along much quicker.

I was excited to get the pixel to give into my flashaholic tendencies with reckless abandonment. Sad to see there is no root method available. Went back to my s7 edge for now. I'll get back to my pixel when I can tinker... This pixel sure ain't the Nexus I've grown to know and love. ?

I assume that the dual system layout partition could play a big role in why TWRP/Root isn't ported yet. Every method has to be adapted to that solution so far as it is new. Though TWRP is already being worked and it's only a question of time XD.

@jcase Does the dePixel8 method break Android Pay? Also, does it give you root access, or do I still need to apply root after the dePixel8 (and if so, how?)

This doesn't exactly unlock your bootloader. It breaks whatever VZW put on there to block bootloader unlock. After running this you will need to use adb to unlock the bootloader yourself just like a GS version or a nexus. No, this will not give you root. But typically a bootloader unlock is necessary to achieve root. Root methods have not been released yet. Chain Fire has achieved system less root but it's not ready for release.
Also, no depixel8 does not break android pay. Unlocking your bootloader after applying depixel8 will break android pay. Google has prevented android pay from working of your bootloader is unlocked.
Do you read the XDA articles or just post on the forums?

Returning to stock

Hello, i am currently on pure nexus with the April update on tmobile (pixel xl). I have a few questions I'm hoping someone could answer before diving in. Which factory image do i use, 7.1.2 May N2G47T? I would like to be able to take ota updates after I'm done, i take it that this would now be possible then? Also, do i need to relock my bootloader to take ota updates. Thanks

Hey there buddy,
Google's website for Factory and OTA includes images/releases from certain carriers. I live in Canada for example so version 7.1.0(I think?) has a release for my specific carrier, so whenever I factory reset, I use that one then relock my bootloader directly after. This leads me to receiving proper OTA everytime.
Other than finding your own carrier image, your best bet is using the standard build flash.
Always be careful with flashing and tinkering and best of luck! =]

I myself am with Tmobile as well and still on N2G47E, April's Build.
I didn't upgrade to May's build because I read there was an issue with TWRPRC1/RC2 or SU with the bootloader on May
I was wondering if this issue has been solved? Is there another zip I need to flash as well?
So far I have been sticking with Stock Rom, but I root with SU and use elemental X kernal with TWRP. thanks!

Another January update?

I just received a notification in my status bar for an update. The thing is, I've already applied the January update earlier this month. Anybody else getting this? Just curious why my phone thinks it needs to update...? I'm bootloader unlocked, twrp installed, Magisk 15.3 rooted and have the latest Flash kernel installed.

Yup. I just got the same thing. Any idea what it is?

I bought mine from Verizon and got it today too. I flashed stock back to take the OTA but it failed a few times. I was thinking it was a patched bootloader since they didn't do that with the January update. But apparently not if yours is from Google. There were some random lockscreen touch issues reported. It could possibly be a fix for that.

Sure hope it's not to lock the bootloader. My Verizon pixel 2 comes tomorrow and I want to unlock and root. I doubt it's preloaded already. Can anyone confirm you can unlock the bootloader with the new update?

I don't think it has anything to do with Verizon. I'm on T-mobile and got the 2nd update today as well.

Verizon doesn't push the updates. It is linked to your IMEI and pushed by Google.

Just got notified myself... Google phone on Verizon

Got it installed, new build number OPM2.171019.016. Maybe a bug fix release. I'm at work or I'd check it out more. It installed just fine though on non-Verizon Pixel 2.

just got the notification and thought I was going crazy since I just sideloaded jan 5th update yestreday

My wife's phone got it, however mine has not. Both are Google play store phone, on Verizon.

i don't see anything on google's website for sideloads.

It's probably for Spectre/meltdown patches/fixes.
