    Is it on stock Android now? Or are you on some other OS and need to flash back to stock? Flashing stock will not lock the bootloader, but you have to be on stock to lock the bootloader, The instructions are here:

    What is the output of ADB devices? Also, try, in recovery, selecting "Advanced" and tapping the option "Enable ADB". I've had to do that rarely when doing sideloads. In general, Windows is fussy with both Fastboot and ADB, I've actually stopped using Windows for any of this (although I'm a Windows user). When I took an old outdated Thinkpad and installed Manjaro Linux on it, it worked right out of the box and every time. It came with Fastboot and ADB already installed annd you could use them from any folder because Linux knew where they were. Not saying that's your solution-- j

    They are fastboot commands you issue when you reboot to the bootloader. The commands are: The second one is the actual counter-command. I believe the first one is supposed to enable showing the initial battery animation showing what percentage you are starting out with.

    I've reported this on the Lineage Gitlab, always hoping the bot is done chastising me for using the same format as in their example. 😄

    I was addressing where touching the figerprint sensor (which was never set up) causes things to happen. I've never had problems with touch screen that can't be explained by old man fingers. 😄

    I downloaded Mixexplorer, and it does indeed happen. I started testing my most common apps and it happened with three other apps I already have, except it wasn't (or, at least, not just) a screen refresh, but it launched dialogs. This happened with DejaOffice, Total Commander and Textmaker 2021. I tested and it does NOT happen with these same apps on my Pro 1. How very bizarre. I never ran into it because I never use my Pro1x in portrait. Not that easy to set this off in landscape. Why is the fingerprint sensor sensing anything if it hasn't been set up, and what are these progr

    Got to 99% (was more like 40 minutes, I got distracted). So it is working on the Pro1 with LOS 20 (charging without booting), just weirdly.

    I'm not reading voltages, but I ran my Pro 1 down to 75%, plugged it in and, again, get initial logos, but the blank screen and no led on, checked 30 minutes or so later (not sure, forgot to time) and it was at 91% when I booted up. I've turned it back off and plugged it in again and will see where it is in another half hour. Bizarre that led doesn't light up for charging. This is, to be clear, plugged into wall with official FxTec charger (although, to be honest, I no longer know which came with the Pro 1 and which with the Pro1x, but, like the box, I don't believer there is any differ

    I don't use or even install Chrome and I have never seen this behavior in any apps I have on either my Pro 1 or Pro1x.

    You are right. I hadn't noticed since I almost never turn my phones off or charge them in that state, nor do I let my phones fall below 50% without topping off. This also means I haven't tested my Pro 1 in a long time. I get something stranger there. If I turn the Pro1 off, and plug in the charger, it doesn't boot, but doesn't do anything. I don't get the initial battery animation and no light goes on. I don't know if it is charging or not. I'll have to let it run down a bit and then leave it for a while and see what happens (it boots up fine). Maybe this has been covered in LO

    I haven't had this happen, but according to the instructions linked below: Not sure if it applies to your case or not. Did you try adb devices to make sure it was detecting the phone. If it doesn't, you can try adb kill-server and the try adb devices again. https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/pro1x/install

    Just to clairify, is this attached to the charger it came with? Mine seems fussy about other chargers.

    I did "pre-order" it, so the Play Store does think it's compatible with my tablet. Then again, the Play Store seems to thing your app is a game. 😄

    So, let me make sure I understand this. This is an app that turns your Tab S8 Ultra into a touch screen BT keyboard for use with an Android phone. Is there any special reason why it would work only with the Tab S8 Ultra? I have an Original Tab S running a Lineage-based ROM that gives it effectively Android 11, but I admit I don't use the tablet much these days. Having this running on it's 10.5" screen might be fun but if it depends on something from Samsung, there's nothing left on there. 😄 Since it is a software keyboard running on Android, I'm just trying to understand why it is ex

    Lineage has it's own screen edge setting that works, as opposed to Edge Null. It works pretty well.

    Just wanted to circle back and confirm that all went well. Took me an afternoon to re-set-up my Pro1x on Lineage 20 with MindTheGapps. All works well. Lineage is very smooth on the Pro1x. I also have root, but something odd happened. As usual, I flashed Magisk as a zip because all I really want is SU. Usually, I still have to open the Magisk Manager and let it update. But when I rebooted into Lineage (and after I did all the initial setup), there was no Magisk Manager there and I didn't have root. I realized I don't use root that much and sort of let it go for the moment. The next

    I'm going to close up this thread. It seems all further on-topic discussion belongs in the new official release thread.

    Try different ports and cables. If your computer has a USB 2.0 port or you have an old USB 2 hub, that can sometimes help. I'm a windows user, but I gave up long ago trying to do fastboot and ADB on Windows. I use an old Thinkpad running Manjaro and it just works.

    @Sean McCreary, can you clarify the different image files for us still-semi-noobs. I only flashed dtbo.img and recovery.img and everything seems fine. Do I need vbmeta.img? I suspect boot.img is the same as recovery.img (they are the same file size)... and WTF is super_empty.img. 😄 Appreciate any info. Thanks!
  20. Hook
    Without doing much setup, after flashing Lineage 20, still on Band 4 and LTE calls are still working.
  21. Hook
    Those instructions are good. I'll write up a more concise version that will refer people to unlocking instructions but assumes the Pro1x is already unlocked. Will also revise my Pro1 instructions for the new file setup on that. My pro1x has booted into Lineage (well, into MindTheapps 😄 )... time to have fun setting things up.
  22. Hook
    Thanks for the link. The link on the download page didn't send me there. Yes, the bootloader is unlocked by default.
  23. Hook
    I haven't started from scratch since before Lineage went to using the multiple image files (I didn't do the betas), but I'm assuming from the official instructions on the Lineage web site (there is no official Pro1x page yet, they send you to the Pro 1 page) That I only need to flash "boot.img" and I will have the Lineage recovery and can just flash the zip. Anyone know?

    You may be right, but that would surprise me. I would think if that were the case, messenger phones would be much more available from the big companies. Most of that audience out there look at me like I'm either nuts, eccentric, quaint or Grandad,,, sometime all of the above... whenever I snap out my keyboard (rarely ever use either my Pro1 pr Pro1x without the keyboard). They are somewhat mystified by how good my internet is, but they don't see the cheap moto on Verizon in my other pocket serving a secure WPA2 connection. 😉

    I understand frustration over the phone not working for many people, but don't quite get these two choices being the only ones. Sure, if you wanted the phone to work, try and sell it and get your money back. But box it and forget about it? All of us invested in a keyboard phone. Presumably, people didn't need a full slide out keyboard to make phone calls. So people, like me, had needs and uses in mind that made a physical keyboard far more ideal than an on-screen keyboard. What we ended up with, in my opinion, is a pocket computer with one of the finest keyboards I have ever used on
