Everything started today, I got bored saw my l950 and decided to do something with it. Year ago I couldn’t add ril my self so I thought maybe ai can do something, I mean they release strong models, spend trillions of money into ai. I explained this project to gemini. It told me that Microsoft devices communicate with modem in special ways, unlike android modem driver which lives in the software, these phones drivers live in the modem it self, with android logic is android wants to use modem tells to driver and driver tells modem to do this send this voltage etc. in lumia phones logic is w10m wants to use modem tells to modem, and the microcode in the modem itself decides what to do like powering the 14th pin etc.(In a nutshell) After Gemini explained this told me that this is actually breakable and set modem to understand android way. Asked me if I wanted to proceed I said yes, that it wanted me to dump some information from w10m to get some kind of information. Then I told Gemini that drivers actually exists on Lumia WOAs GitHub. Then Gemini wanted me to give him some files and said I can make modifications to kernel, wanted me to give the kernel so I gave the link to android4lumia GitHub’s spyxinks kernel(I couldn’t typed that sorry). After a while a lot of back and forth it eventually came up with a new kernel told me to build the rom so I did it and after that I got noting so screen nothing told the Gemini that nothing on the screen, so I went to kitchen to drink water and when I came back there were smoke coming from my device, I immediately disconnected the battery waited for phone to cool down. Tried to restore to w10m and surprise surprise windows phone internals or even windows didint even detected it. I opened up the inside carefully gave some power and yeah some chip imediately hated up to 90C which I think is the modem or maybe cpu I have no idea what that thing is, trowed phone to trash deleted my Gemini account Fujk Gemini fujk Microsoft fujk my self for thinking this would work at the beginning.

TLDR:
- Bro wanted RIL on Android On Lumia950
- asked gemini
- gemini shat out kernel
- phone started smoking

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Anybody with esim broken/failure issues on their Google Pixel 9 series willing to test a fix?

On bootloader unlocked Google Pixel devices, Google restricts users from using Custom icons feature in the Pixel Launcher.

In a recent update, they have added a clear warning when it can't download app icons - The device doesn't meet security requirements. A warning which many Google Wallet users might have been familiar with on rooted devices.

Google already restricts various other AI features on Pixel devices with unlocked bootloader.

The string name and logo have been unified; the OOS and RUI test versions now all display the Color OS logo.

Pixel eSIM eUICC Fix Guide

> ⚠️ Warning: This process requires root access. Your eID may be regenerated, which can affect existing eSIM profiles. Back up anything important and be prepared to download or reactivate your eSIM afterward.

Requirements
• Rooted Pixel device
• USB debugging enabled
• A computer with ADB configured

Step 1 — Open an ADB shell

Connect the phone to your computer, then run:

adb shell

Step 2 — Obtain root access

Inside the ADB shell, run:

su

Grant the root request on the phone if prompted.

Step 3 — Set temporary system properties

Run the following commands one at a time in the same root shell:

resetprop ro.build.type eng
resetprop ro.build.tags eng
resetprop ro.debuggable 1
setenforce 0

Step 4 — Restart framework

Run:

stop && sleep 2 && start

The phone will reboot. Do not close the ADB shell. Once Android has fully booted, unlock the phone and continue using the same shell session.

Step 5 — Open the firmware updater app

Run:

am start -n com.google.euiccpixel/com.google.euiccpixel.ui.OtaUpdateMenu

NFC/eSE/eSIM firmware updater application should now open on the phone.

Once the phone has booted and eSIM/eUICC functionality is working, the device is fixed and ready for normal use. You can now clean-flash the device or relock the bootloader if needed.

Done.

New Pixel 9 Pro XL feature: Detachable Island

Google support on duty 🤦‍♂🤦

Kitboga hallucinated AI scam calls so much that even the AI lost its mind at the end 💀

However, it likely will not hurt the LLM at all or the scam company in the least since it's a pretty cheap model. These scam companies would also be running several hundreds or thousands of instances at a time, so that if one instance is engaged, many more already exist to scam others 🥀

Guide update

The Pixel eSIM / eUICC Firmware Fix Guide has been updated to cover all Tensor Pixel generations, including Fold devices and Pixel Tablet.

Use it if your eSIM/eUICC information shows:

eUICC info: {Available memory in bytes:-1}

Do not use the older forwarded version that specifies one fixed firmware image. The updated guide explains how to identify and validate the compatible firmware for your specific Pixel generation before flashing.

The court drama continues
