  1. Is this what you already tried?
  2. I gave my local shop both that and the screen changing video and they are keeping them on file. They are willing to tackle it if it ever comes up. They will certainly do better than I would.
  3. Then your girlfriend would send the phone in for repairs to the UK, as I have (from the US) twice with my Pro 1. I wouldn't choose to do what @mattockdid either. I'm not very technical. Stuff happens, but I've always had good CS from F(x) Tec. While he said anyone can, I wouldn't, and I don't think he said everyone should.
  4. Ummmm... I'm not sure what you are disagreeing with. @mattockdidn't say it was a good thing to have to recover from a dead battery, or that Lineage shouldn't have been pre-installed. He just said being able to get Lineage was what finally motivated him to figure out the battery. 😄

    Screen replacement

    Just to clarify, I am assuming (because you said expensive) you are referring to getting the complete setup from FxTec that includes the frame. Nice! I will always go that route if I need a replacement as long as they are available.
  6. The first thing I think of is Firefly. Or were you referring to your case? ;-)
  7. Nah. They don't work here either. I even tried 2 different browsers and my phone as well. :)
  8. It really depends on what you mean by "planned." My take on things is that F (X) Tec took business orders (probably early on, as @EskeRahn suggested) that would be shipped once the perks had been shipped. The perks (and website orders) were palleted (I'm assuming the pictures weren't fake)and sent from the factory to the Expansys logistics operation. All seemed good, so the retail orders were triggered. Then they were hit with the contract dispute. But while our units were stuck, the businesses were able to get the devices (they were no doubt direct shipped from the factory) as they were n
  9. Assuming this is January 2023 (they didn't have screens available in Jan 2022), to be honest, that's really not that long, especially if they are setting up something new. This is a very small operation. But, lets see if we can get @Casey's attention.
  10. I don't have a Pro1x, but I believe the process of updating Lineage is the same as for the Pro1 and I will answer your questions from that assumption. Your steps 1-5 are correct except that, after you do the adb sideload, you need to reboot to recovery. This is because the update (which is actually the full installation with the updates) is installed to the inactive slot. Rebooting to recovery makes the inactive slot active. Now when you do step 5, you will be actually booting up the update. A. There is no formal backup for either the Pro1 or Pro1x. No TWRP. You can backup your
  11. @Caseymight want to make a note of this theory and see if they have any data or a way to look into it.
  12. I don't have a Pro1x, and it has been so long since I had stock, I can't say for stock. But, yes, with Lineage OS on the Pro 1, you can do that. Under settings>display>rotation settings, you can actually allow or exclude all or any of 0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees. I don't use autorotate at all, just using the built in ability of the Pro1 to change from landscape to portrait by opening and closing the keyboard. In addition, there's a clever little lock-unlock icon that pops up that can be used in special cases. When I open Kindle, I leave the keyboard out and turn the screen so it is
  13. This is like the AlieExpress merchant who figured out that the Elephone U Pro screen could be used for the F(x) Tec Pro 1 and relabeled the screen (and, then, in this case, jacked up the price-- you can get Elephone U Pro screens much cheaper on Alie Express). 😄 https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804530146022.html?gatewayAdapt=deu2usa4itemAdapt&_randl_shipto=US
  14. Also, if all you want is root (SU) and you don't care about magisk modules, you can simply use the depreciated method of renaming the magisk file changing the .apk extension to .zip and then using adb sideload to flash it in recovery the same way you do MindTheGapps. I'm not sure you can't also still use Magisk modules that way, but since I don't use them, I can't say. I never even open the Magisk app, but it gives root to any app that asks permission and I say ok.
  15. I'm a little confused by your descriptions. When you reboot to bootloader using adb, you should get the bootloader screen which is the same as your first screen shot way above except I think it says "START" in green at the top. I don't think it matters if you use the volume control to change what is at the top to "RECOVERY mode" because those are options you are scrolling through, but nothing changes unless you press power. That bootloader screen (with "START" or whatever at the top) is the bootloader. That is where fastboot is used. Going into recovery mode (by pressing the power button)
  16. Whereas with Manjaro on a Thinkpad x230, fastboot has always worked for me. Didn't need to install anything, fastboot and ADB tools were already there.
  17. As have others on Discord. Sean says it's "moderately stable" which is good enough for me. Probably not that different than the first unofficial test versions of Lineage 16 we got from TDM for the Pro1, and those were rock solid. As soon as I have a Pro1x, I'll be installing it.
  18. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/lineageos-20-for-pro1-x.4543997/ Scroll down :)
  19. Donate link worked fine for me using Pay Pal.
  20. Don't set USB to file transfer. All you need is debugging on. Leave it on charge only.
  21. It would probably help if you detailed where you got stuck. Windows is fussy with this, particularly which ports work or which cords work. Often people do better on Windows with USB2 ports (I used a hub for that). Although my main computer is windows I have Majaro Linux on an old Thinkpad and it just works. Fastboot and ADB were already set up in the default install, I now do all my flashing of Lineage there. However, I only have a Pro 1. I don't have my Pro1x yet.
  22. This is basically what I use my 5G Moto phone on PAYG Verizon for with my Pro 1. Don't yet have my Pro1x to see how things work out with that. I'm hoping to make my Pro1X my daily driver while I experiment with the Pro 1 trying things I wouldn't with my daily driver. My Moto is my phone, car phone, hot spot.
  23. I got it too. I don't think it is any different than what Amazon or AlieExpress does. You look at or buy something suddenly you get an email offering the thing you looked at or bought. 😉

    Payment method Issues

    Need a few more details here. Pay where? IGG? The FxTec Web Store? I believe that if you order from the Web Store, it will have the status "processing" until it is shipped (which will be awhile yet), if that's what you mean by "on hold." Otherwise, I'm not sure.
