I used it a couple months back, maybe the first week it was in the news? My Pixel 3a wasn't seeing the OTA for that month so I used Chrome on an Android tablet to flash the update to my phone. Worked well. I think I had to request the desktop site, and you have to grant Chrome access to the USB attached device but then it was off to the races.

Netgear NeoTV Prime. Post anything and everything you want about it.

Well The purpose of this thread since i couldn't find anything related to this is to talk about this device to share info on what have people done to it or just share their personal experiences. My experience to buying it was i saw it on clearance for $39.99 and bought it just to use the app showbox and everything beside that is a plus. I haven't rooted it yet but i plan too even tough idk what i could do by rooting it since i don't think much development has gone into it. Well i hope people post on this if not i made a dud.
Here is a site with info for rooting and the specs and info on this box

Do you have any issues with the youtube app? Cause for some reason it kept force closing this past week then i uninstalled and the app said it wasn't compatible anymore on the play store so i had to download it from aptoide and now it works fine don't know why, and the send to youtube option doesn't work that well now as it used to two weeks ago i think the change of youtube to always play all videos on a playlist instead of just one just screwed it up

Neotv GTV100 update to 4.0 or 4.2.2
Hi,
I got my hands on this device in dec last year. Box perform well with USB mouse and keyboard, appear to be sluggish
with its original remote. Image on TV is good at 1080P. I can list what app I use upon request.
I ask for help me upgrade this box to 4.0 or 4.2.2 . My knowledge is limited in this area.
Up to now I was able to do the following:
Install recovery (2e) and being able to flash from usb any image listed below.
I used the Amazon fire package "adbfw115" to flash recovery, usb keyboard, hub, mouse, rom toolbox apk.....etc.
I can provide details upon request
I flashed original image found online
NeoTVPrime-ota.v1.0.9.zip
Then I updated the device. I was able to save the following images.
NeoTVPrime-ota-v1.1.33.zip
NeoTVPrime-ota-v1.1.45.zip
I can upload upon request, both are less than 300Mb
If somebody can take a copy from LG GTV 4.2.2 update I can compare with this ones.
I do not know how to fix/upgrade an image, I am just a tester.
Thanks

Hi, can you please tell how do you flash the firmwares?
After I did the root, Chrome keeps crashing...
I've sent you an e-mail before, found the firmwares online, but still don't know how to flash them.
Thanks!

Hi,
sorry too busy....
Soooooooo, you must reboot in recovery.
You can use the fire adbfw117 (google is your friend) or rom toolbox (i have paid version) or ....probably there are many other. You must enable Setting - Applications - debugger IP ( your PC IP) + Remote debugging and Mock locations.
Once in recovery - (you need a USB keyboard) is a old (2e) version you can:
1) reboot
2) install update.zip from USB (I was able to flash any of the version listed above, I lost root but was able to re-install using the pawn patch (many thanks to people who made it happen)
3) wipe data / factory reset (that's probably what will help you with chrome issue)
4) wipe cache partition
Here I'm stuck because I do not know how to "mod" a rom or recovery. I was hoping
somebody can land me a hand to go further
Good luck

Could you upload those files? I want to make a custom Rom.

anyone have any ideas on using this device for video capture. it has the required hardware really just needs the software
Looks like everyone's given up on this.
:crying: I guess I'm done too.

New One+One and problem...

I got my one plus one 64gb from a friend and it has ColorOs ver 1.2.0 installed on it. He said that the device is new and has never been used before but this seems odd to me as it should have come with CM11S pre installed. It has the "Global version" logo on the back package. Is there a simple guide/way that I can use to switch to CM11S or any other rom?

Do some research my friend this is xda all the info you need is right in front of you but you need to read. First off check if its been rooted or has a custom recovery. Please do not use a toolkit as they may cause issues down the line. Does it say CM on the back of the phone?
Main thing is everything is simple if you just read and take your time. From the way you asked your question not sure if you ever rooted before? Google the differences my friend Google it

Thanks. I've googled this as much as I can, but can't find a way to switch from ColorOs to CM11S. I'm really stuck and need you help. The device is recognised by windows 8.1 and I transferred the CM11 r33 zip file to the device. When I go into ColorOs recovery mode on the device, and try to install CM from there, it fails. When I go to fastboot mode and I try to unlock the bootloader on the device in order to go on and flash a recovery and than root... It fails. What can I do? I can't stay with the ColorOs...
Ok. Now I'm completely stuck, on bootloader logo, and no OS!! I can still enter recovery TWRP 2.8.0.1 or fastboot mod. I have unlocked the bootloader, rooted the device, wiped all and did not backup. When I tried to flash the latest CM11 it failed and there I am. No OS and device is not recognised by computer(win 8.1) so I cannot transfer files to the device anymore... What do I do now? How do I get this working once again? Thanks for your help!!
What's the full filename of the CM11S zip you flashed?
Also, if you got your phone from a friend, where on earth did the invite I gave you go to?

The device coming from your invite, should arrive today and I'm sure it will be with CM11S.
The stuck device I bought second hand from a friend.
I tried to flash cm-11.0-XNPH33R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip
Now its not possible to transfer new files to the device and the computer does not recognise the device
when it's in fastboot mod.

Dear timmaaa... When you sent me the invite I did not have the device. While it was on it's way to me, I bought a used one for my daughter. Now that's the one that is currently stuck with no OS on it. The Device I ordered from One + with the invite you sent me, arrived today, has CM11 on board and works perfectly.

Correct. And you told me it's not possible. So I purchased another device. By the way, I figured out the issue I had with the instructions I found on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2765455... Worked just fine to me... Now I'm on CM11 and my daughter will get a wonderful present... timmaaa, I'm sorry if I offended you. I use the device I got today thanks to you and good people on this forum and I'm grateful to you. I needed another device and purchased one on the free market. Thank you and sorry if I did something wrong.

Beta program

Hi guys,
i have a pixel and i want to enrrol to the beta program, i just done the process but it seams that update is not arriving, its posible that verizon pixels can't enroll to beta program?
http://www.droid-life.com/2017/01/30/android-7-1-2-beta-download-update-nexus-pixel/
Regards
You can download the full image here
I dont have oem unlocked. I can sideloade it?
Yea even i didn't get it. I guess it not for the verizon phones.
Can anyone who has upgraded to 7.1.2 let us know if it appears stable enough for a daily driver and have they noticed any differences ? Thank you.....
Another locked bootloader VZW customer here who enrolled and is waiting for OTA. I think we'll get it, just have to wait for OTA's to start. Google let us enroll, and we seem to have gotten updates from Google and not VZW so far. I think it'll just take a day or 2 to start rolling.
I installed 7.1.2 briefly. No changes that I noticed besides radio and boot IMG. Seemed stable enough for daily, I went back to PN because of substratum.
I am a non VZW pixel user (Koodo - Canada) and have not received the OTA after signing up yesterday. They note that it may take 24 hours and looks like it's going to for me.

I know that the bootloader is what loads the Android filesystem to the boot image, I wonder if it can somehow be manipulated to unlock and root since you mention that the boot image is different? Does anyone know? Thanks
Just about 24 hours of enrollment here on my VZW Pixel with no OTA yet. Google support confirmed my device was eligible... Has ANYONE, regardless of carrier, received a beta OTA?

Signed up yesterday for both my Pixel (VZW sim) and Pixel XL (Project Fi sim) both bought direct from Google. Pixel XL rec'd update almost immediately not yet on Pixel so far.
If anyone gets the OTA, please pull and post it. OTA's can be flashed in TWRP, followed by a re-flash of TWRP to keep custom recovery. I'm too lazy to download the full firmware, edit it, and flash with a computer.

The edit you mention. Is that just removing the -w command from the flash all script. Or is there more involved in updating from a factory image?

Nope it's exactly that. Just remove -w so it doesn't wipe the device. It's how I update my Pixel and 5X since I'm impatient waiting for OTAs.

Correct. And for some reason the flash-all.bat never works for me. It fails towards the end of the flash. I have to run it through one of those tool kits for it to accept it.
Flashing the OTA in TWRP is a smaller download, quicker, no PC, and it consistently works for me.
Like I said, I'm lazy lol.

I had the same problem a long time ago. Turns out I was using an old version of fastboot. Once I updated it I had no problem with the flashall.bat
OTA hasn't rolled for the pixel yet, likely "soon", my guess is today or tomorrow at the latest since XL has gone out. I am on project FI and got the pixel through the play store fyi

I've tried updating mine but that doesn't seem to help. I spent a considerable amount of time working on it one day with no luck. Mine is installed so that it'll work from any directory (I don't have to put my files in the same directory). I even tried putting the new adb/fastboot in the same folder as the flash-all.bat with the same results.

I am also in the waiting for the OTA camp and use an unlocked Verizon Pixel and PIxel XL. I have had better luck using the TWRP sideload method and it installing to the other slot with each subsequent sideload appears to me a more consistent way to keep everything updated in the same way that the system OTA works.

Pixel - Google Edition...

Hi everyone,
I have a the Google edition of Pixel, and have unlocked the bootloader successfully. I would like to root the device somethow, as well as get tether working. I am on Vzw's original unlimited data plan, and this phone has replaced my wife's Samsung Galaxy S3 phone on verizon. We held on to the S3 for so long as it is rooted and with the ROM we could tether using Vzw's tether and pay nothing extra.
What can I do to get back into a similar situation with this Google Pixel?
Thanks so much in advance.

Install twrp and flash magisk for root. Any root tether app should be able to treat your tether data as standard data

Haha good on you for asking cuz quite a few people have gotten close to bricking their devices using the boot-to-root method from the day the phone released lmao. A quick Google search for "twrp sailfish" will bring u to the latest version of official twrp. As far as magisk just look up magisk on XDA and the official thread will have the dl link (don't download magisk from anywhere else)
There's a Magisk "Tethering Enabler" module which I recommend you try, after you're rooted.

Hi KittRgnarok,
I have downloaded the following to my computer:
twrp-3.2.1-2-sailfish.img
twrp-pixel-installer-sailfish-3.1.1-2.zip
Magisk-v16.0.zip
My computer is a macbook pro so I don't believe I need any additional drivers as supposedly they are already available in the Mac OS. I was able to unlock my bootloader using a terminal session & adb.
How should I now proceed?
Thanks in advance.

Correct MacBook shouldn't needed additional drivers. Put the magisk and twrp zip files on your phone. Then reboot into bootloader. From there use the command fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-2-sailfish.img which should put you into ram version of twrp. From here decrypt your device and install the twrp installer zip file. Once that's done reboot into recovery and flash magisk and you should be good to go
I finally got it figured out I have installed TWRP, as well as Majisk. I've tested root using a root tester, and now I need to see about the module that mike.s was referring to- specifically "tethering enabler".
All this stuff is totally new to me, so I am creeping along at a slow pace... lol

In magisk manager there is a downloads tab and a modules tab. Go to the downloads tab and look for tether and you'll find it

You must've been posting as I was typing my message to you. I'm just now seeing that you provided some steps. Yes, I had figured that out and got it done. Life's good now.
I am doing some searching trying to figure out tethering, that's the last piece of the equation for now... hehehe..... On the old vzw unlimited data plan and I don't want to switch over to their new plans. If I can get this going, then my better half will be super happy, and then I will look into getting me a Google Pixel (but the XL version).

Thanks so much KittyRgnarok,
You pointed me in the right direction and I really appreciate that. It worked with no problems as I tested it and all's well. I then demonstrated it to my better half and she is super happy!!
Now I will order me one as well, but I am going to get the Google Pixel XL. I see the screen is larger on the Pixel 2, but heard there's been some "screen issues"? For me the lack of a phone jack is not all that big of a deal as I never hookup a wired headset and only use the bluetooth. *Ahem* on my phone I've only used a wired headset once or twice years ago when my bluetooth messed up. Lol....
Thanks again for everything!

Glad to hear both you and her are happy with the results . As far as the pixel 2 xl a lot of the screen issues were software side but there are also issues with burn in(which I've experienced a decent amount of on the og as well) I have a friend with the pixel 2 and I highly recommend it but be aware that it is modding hell if you intend to be messing with a lot of that. As far as staying on stock rom+magisk+Xposed though it works great.
Hi everyone

Glad to hear both you and her are happy with the results . As far as the pixel 2 xl a lot of the screen issues were software side but there are also issues with burn in(which I've experienced a decent amount of on the og as well) I have a friend with the pixel 2 and I highly recommend it but be aware that it is modding hell if you intend to be messing with a lot of that. As far as staying on stock rom+magisk+Xposed though it works great.

Thanks for the heads up on the Pixel 2 issues. I will probably stay with stock like on my better half's phone, and just want to root and tether. Now the burn ins, that kind of worries me. Hmmmm... decisons, decision... hehe...
To prevent burn in you can get the magisk module that hides the navbar and toggle that occasionally as that's the only place I really notice it aside from the statusbar which idk a way to hide. I've also heard inverting colours often can help prevent it

Thanks for that information. I did not realize that. And sorry for the delay in responding. I didn't get on xda yesterday as I got back home late last night. I will certainly look for that magisk module you mentioned.
Oh and by the way, I just got me a Google Pixel XL today
Now I need to work the same magic on this one. I've already got it activated at the VZW Store near where I live. *Woohoo*

Android Q Beta

Has anyone else given it a go on this phone yet? So far I think its working pretty well, with only a couple slowdowns.
Has anyone else noticed a bit of a slowdown with wifi? Sometimes I have to kick it over to LTE to login to apps, even though I can run speed tests and things.
Just wanted to see what other people were experiencing with the beta, sorry if this the wrong place for this.
Other than poor "stand by" battery drainage for me, I think it works pretty good.
But, Android Q it's not on Pixel 3A, isn't it?

Not via OTA, you can pick up the system image from the website and flash it manually though.
As to the OP, I gave it a shot for a couple days but I kept getting a bug where I'd unlock the phone and just get a black screen so I got frustrated and flashed back lol I hope the OTA thats supposedly coming next month fixes it up so it could be a daily driver.
Thanks antp121
I tried to find from official website the Android Q image for Pixel 3A and flash it via sideload or similar.
Can you help me how to do?

You know how to use fastboot? I believe the instructions are right on the Google factory image site where you grab the beta 3 image.

I've actually been getting the same thing. I also keep having an issue with wifi, I think I'm going go back to pie and see if it's still doing it. I just really like the new gestures and don't wanna give them up lol
I've been running it for a few weeks. Side loaded the OTA as soon as I got the phone. They took down the OTA file but it's posted in this thread. I've had no issues other than a few apps not being comparable yet and there is no working Magisk out for Pixels 3/3a with Q beta.
When i factory reset my phone, will i still be on the beta? Im currently enrolled on beta 4 and want zo stay on it, but need to re setup the phone again.
Thanks!

On a related note, does anyone know if opting out of the Beta will delete any esim profiles?

Simply "opting out" of the beta by pressing the button on the web page will not change anything. But as soon as you (download and) install Pie, my guess is that it will erase everything including any esim profiles. When you go from one major release to another - especially a downgrade - the phone is typically going to be wiped completely. It purposefully erases all information to ensure there isn't any conflicts between the two OS versions.
Just enrolled in the beta myself, does anyone know if it is being pushed OTA yet?

DP4 was pulled iirc. You can still sideload it.
Anybody having any issues with it so far?

So far I'm having no issues with the beta, but did anyone else get a small update today? Any idea why?
