Hello Gurus,
As the subject says, I made the mistake of a hasty ebay purchase for a black 128GB XL running Android 8.0 Build OPR3.170623.007. I was happy with the thought of making it my primary music machine by enabling the Apt-X HD codec and pairing with in-car Apt-HD receiver for car AUX speakers. Wanted to install ARISE Audio to be able to pump up the sound quality.
Found out that model no. G-2PW2100 is actual the Verizon/Project Fi model which is beyond any salvation attempts now.
However all of it turned out to be a pipe dream, when i started with the basics on rooting, to unlock the boot loader. Found out the OEM boot loader unlocking option in Developer settings is greyed out and it will not accept the ADB commands
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
or
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
anymore.
The command
Code:
adb shell getprop ro.boot.cid
returns
Code:
VZW__001
If it would have been 7.0.x then I could have tried dePixel8 , however that not a possibly anymore.
Having read all over the forum for various posts, can I conclude there is no solution as of now and it is an expensive paper weight for the time being, or is it any ray of hope move forward to.
Thanks for your answers.
Their is no solution as of now sunshine team don't have any plans to attempt an unlock for newer than 7.1

Thanks, you verified my worst fears. So money lost, time to write off this sunk cost from personal accounts.
Would keep a lookout for a workable unit now, till then will try to sell it off.
Thanks.
I mean, it's still a pixel. It'll get updates for awhileeeeeee.

You mean the bootloader for G-2PW2100 - 128GB - 8.0 can be unlocked. Has someone used this service. Do i have to send my mobile or the solution would be provided online.
Would be nice if you can PM with the link to the actual service.
On the other hand, I guess only taobao is the place where I can see Pixel XL 128 with Android version 7.1 sold, as they are not to be found on US/UK ebay.
A couple of queries I need to know to pin point the exact replacement I am looking for:
1. I assume the model should be either G-2PW2100 (either verizon or google) <= ROM 7.1 or a G-2PW2200 (any service provider) with any ROM version till 8.1.
2. Can a G-2PW2100 <= 7.1 once having a bootloader unlocked, be upgraded to 8.0 and above, and keep having the BL unlocked. If once after unlock, it is locked again either on the same ROM version or upgraded to higher ROM version, would it still be possible to unlock it again.
3. Any possible link or direction where an unlocked 128GB XL is available for purchase.
Thanks for your replies.

Well thanks, has anyone tried it to be really working for Verizon Pixel XL. Any success reports.
The website which opens from your URL has a clunky UX, I cannot select and get to know any service details, even with translation. If i select an option with 150Yuan, it takes me back to a webpage where no further journey to go.
Purchasing on Taobao anyways aint possible for me as the whole process and interface is in chinese, and I dont know if they accept international credit card.
Would like to know more information about it.
====================================
Got it, the URL is for the mobile version of the Taobao website, hence strange display on PC. Am trying to search it via PC.
===================================
Ok so what I am able to gather is these services are for XL running 7.1.x , and mine is already updated to 8.0 ,so cant say for sure it will work or not. For 7.1.x we dont need a paid service, it was already doable by DePixel8 if I am not wrong.
Thanks.

Thats my assumption as well, however trying to get in touch with TaoBao seller to see what miracle they offer.
Thanks.
I'm pretty sure that even if you downgrade to 7.1, the security patch level would render the dePixel exploit useless. As far as I know, you can't downgrade security patch levels.
Try selling it on Swappa and then buy a Google version off the site.
Please do keep us posted on the TaoBao mission because if it is possible to still do this I am very interested as well... I went on the site to that link and hit the translation on my Chrome browser via laptop and I couldn't make out everything it was informing of but I thought I saw something about it was illegal to ship or prohibited for the goods in my region... I live in the eastern shore of the US... what gives? I am not giving up so easily. I would sell the phone but I am my family's plan and i just pay them cash every month.. so I am sort of stuck with the phone atm myself as well..
Anyways... good luck to all who are still fishing around for an exploit.
Well, i called quits for the TaoBao mission, was a pipe dream anyways. I was able to sell it for a good price. So case closed for making any mistake like this again without reading enough around on the forum about which exact model to buy for my rooting/vipering adventures.
Have another query in mind , will post a new thread for it, while on the hunt for a Google branded set.
I contacted the staff of OnePlus to inquire about this question. They said that the degraded conversion package is only for CN variant. They don't think it's a problem and won't solve it.
So I'm trying to port it into the non Chinese variant of the device, because I don't have enough money to buy the EU variant OnePlus 9 (I need it to study the difference between the Non-CN variant and the Chinese variant, because the European variant is cheaper, so I plan to buy this variant), the research progress will be very slow.
At present, I have designed three plans:
1. Make changes to the firmware on the device to fit the degraded package.
2. Using the MsmDownloadTool of ColorOS to flash. (I'm responsible for remote operation, so it can't be used as a long-term solution)
3. Extract the ColorOS firmware out of the raw image to flash. (may die in partition problems, and should not apply to 9R)
4. (This plan has been abandoned, because the signature can not be forged, and it is too troublesome to adapt to each different model) Make changes to the degraded package to adapt to the hardware of different regions.
Due to the above reasons, I can't test and implement plan 1 and 3. I have found a brave 9 Pro India user to test plan 2 and wait for the good news.
I'm going to launch crowdfunding in the near future. If you have extra funds and want to try ColorOS, please support me.
If you want to provide the device for testing (it doesn't necessarily succeed and the device will not be returned regardless of the results), you can also contact me.
If you want to apply for the remote test scheme, I will be happy to accept it. However, please note that no matter what the result is, I am not responsible for any impact of the remote test on your device, and the device may lose its warranty; Since I am still a high school student, I will only provide remote testing service in my spare time (China, GMT+8, Asia/Shanghai).

I put the package in the update channel. It seems to apply only to LE2120 CN variant. That's why I need a EU 9 to study the differences
It's not msm tool for unbrick. It's just downgrade package.

sigh, yes I am embarrased at what I did but I have bricked my Mi Pad 5 and need a hand. Background:
- new Mi Pad 5 China hardware but with Global ROM flashed by the vendor I bought from
- the Mi Pad started up fine and I logged into my google and Mi accounts with no issues
- noticed the bootloader was unlocked and that google play said device is not certified
- I used fastboot OEM LOCK *very stooooopid* and the device rebooted
- on start up is says "This miui version can't be installed on this device" and now it's bricked
- tried to wipe data but no luck same error
- tried miunlock tool but it tells me I have to bind my id to the device :-(
- tried XiaoMiTool V2 but it is also stuck
- tried Mi pc suite but it will not detect the mi pad
Is there way way to simply recovery back to the latest chinese version of the rom - feels like I am stuck between a rock and a hardplace :-(
Thx in advance for your help, FredT

Unlock again, install stock china rom, factory reset and lock bootloader
yeah when I try to unlock it now it says that I have to bind my MI id again but I can't boot MIUI to do that - so really stuck as it won't let me unlock
when I try oem unlock I get:
C:\Users\fredp\Downloads\miflash_unlock-en-5.5.224.24>.\fastboot.exe oem unlock
...
FAILED (remote: Token Verify Failed, Reboot the device

How did you unlock it in the first place? Maybe use the same method? Mine (pro 5g) came with CN ROM with the bootloader locked, so I had to go through the usual procedure of binding my Mi account and waiting for 7 days to unlock the bootloader. I used Mi Unlock as Xiaomi suggests.
Mine came from the seller with the global rom installed even on the CN hardware so they went through that process which in retrospective was not such a great idea, my mistake was that I did not bind my ID to the device before trying to lock it.
I don't know if you solved your problem, but when this kind of things happened with Xiaomi phones, you needed someone with an authorized Xiaomi account that could log in Xiaomi flasher and unlock your device for you. I remember seeing a guy from Russia who did this procedure for many people over the k20 pro fórum (he charges 20us I think)
Sorry for the kind of generic information but it's been sometime I saw this and can't quite remember the details. Try to search for more info about that in k20 pro fórum.
What I can tell you is that if you find the right person to do it for you it's quite easy and fast. I think he does it over TeamViewer.
Anyway, don't give up. It is totally recoverable

How was this fixed? I also have the same problem(locking the bootloader after flashing and bricking it).
I tried to reachout to {Mod edit} and already paid for the service fee, and I am feeling that this is a SCAM, i have been waiting for a day and still no progress with this. Im confused if this is really a thing for our bricked units. Hope they were just really busy and not a scam.

Does anyone know how I can flash an updated OS and security updates to my S20 Tactical Version. The phone works great but won't update. Last OS/security update shown 12/20. Really need some help, thanks.
very hard to find informations for this device
Galaxy XCover6 Pro and Galaxy S23 Tactical Edition | Samsung Business | undefined US
Learn about the Galaxy XCover6 Pro Tactical Edition and Galaxy S23 Tactical Edition with Knox security, a mission-ready military phone proven by operators for deployment in tactical environments.
www.samsung.com
please
go to :
setting/about phone/software information/Service provider SW ver
and post the result
maybe i'll can find something
Here is the screenshot I took:
Have tried odin several times and first 3 it said failed and then last time it di nothing just stayed on writing for 30 mins or more before I stopped it. Gonna try some more. Stuck at abl.elf on the odin prg.
Since it appears that getting it to flash is not going to happen is there anyway to make/flash knox updates, thanks.
Couldn't get it to work so decided to restore my backup from pc to phone using smart switch but nothing is happening, says preparing the restore process for .5 hour and nothing. How long does it take and is there another tool that can restore the data I backed up. Progress 0
Can the S20 be jailbroke and what program do I need. If it gets jail broke can I then put in new os, thanks.
New question since no one answered previous one. If I got the bootloader unlocked and loaded a new android 12 version on it, would it then resume normal updates or just stay on stuck on 12 like it is now on 10. Would it make it a non tactical version or remain same.
NEVER SEEN A FORUM WITH SO MANY HELPING PEOPLE.
How did you get this device? These are generally government/military only, and are destroyed when retired. If you happen to be government and/or military, modifying your device without explicit approval is forbidden and could result in severe legal consequences.

Are you sure a software update is available for your device? If not, your options are limited without unlocking the bootloader.

Jailbreaking applies only to Apple devices. Android phones by default allow installing apps from sources other than the Google Store; rooting depends on the device. Have you enabled Developer Options? If so, do you see an OEM Unlocking toggle?

Per my first answer, if there were an official update for your device, then you should be able to update without unlocking the bootloader. If not, then no - installing a different Android version will not be able to use normal updates, outside of GSIs such as LineageOS.

This is unnecessary. You have a device that simply isn't very popular, so there isn't very much support for it. Further, you posted in the wrong section - as a Galaxy S20, you should have posted this in the Galaxy S20 Questions and Answers section. Posting in the right area gives you better chances of getting help with your issue.

I thought SURE THAT I posted in the right place but if not I apologize and I thought I answered the questions about how I got it and if it has updates available. I know the TE mdl has been updated to A 11 os but don't know if any further. Also what I was asking is if it was flashed with A 13 os would it get updates like a normal S20 mdl would. This was not issued to me but rather purchased online from a seller who sold around 20 of them and the box does not indicate its a Tactical Edition; when I tried to get money back he closed his/her account, so stuck with it.
sorry but i have not find any firmware for your special device
Thanks, that must be why odin won't write to stock firmware. I'm thinking that u must have to have the stock bl firmware to get it to write the rest of the os, not sure of anything. except won't update on it's own.
Hello everyone,
Hope everything is fine with everyone except my phone. Yesterday, I don't know exactly how, buy my phone stopped receiving or making calls my both SIM network signals are showing, SMS working, Data working but calls are not.
I searched on internet done everything it possibly suggested but still no solution, can you please help me?
Solutions I used:
Reset Network settings, removed phone and related apps caches
One solution didn't work on my phone: change the network coverage from LTE to lower like 2g,3g... Phone code isn't working... I didn't find those settings from my phone settings.
(Edit: I forget to mention my phone is Chinese, I've read in this forum that Chinese phones stop working after 2 weeks and I've passed two weeks after buying and verifying with my govt. I paid tax more than half of the value of my phone to my govt to unblock me imei # .. I think I can't install any other custom ROM to make this phone work because my IMEI # would be changed and I've to register those again with my govt)
Regards,
The only solution so far has been to take/send the phone to an official Oppo/OnePlus service center to unlock it.

If so is there any way I can keep my same IMEI # registered with my govt and upgrade to another ROM?

Flashing non-native ROMs is extremely risky and may results in a bricked device and yes, lost, IMEIs.
