There's no talking to you~

Whoa got all the legal stuff on the bottom of the 6P? At the plastic cap? Btw, nice chroma.

 

[kEvinErd]

Nope, most likely this is what you will get in retail.

Why..... Why 2 pin plugs.... Like that still need adapter...

Hiyo

Just want to clarify bootloader issue.

Right now with the Nexus 6P I am unsure how to relock the bootloader. The toolkit is here to relock but I haven't tried the relocking. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/development/tool-6p-multi-tool-v0-1-t3214015

Best see the pros do it first before you unlock the bootloader. As mentioned, Huawei or everybody else won't warrant tampered bootloader phone.

Haha fair enough. Frankly, first time I am hearing about anything that is called 'QFuse'.

Cant you just enable USB debugging, adb reboot-recovery, then fastboot oem lock?

You can lock your bootloader back, but you cannot restore the qfuse. Bootloader and qfuse are 2 different things.

Qfuses are one-time-programmable (OTP) elements that are used to enable and disable security and debug features of the MSM7xxx device. The Qfuses are implemented as anarray of one-bit fuse blocks. The Qfuse banks are used for two purposes — providing non-volatile, immutable storage of data, and configuration of hardware features. For immutabledata storage, the Qfuses are read via a shadow register which contains the actual valuestored and includes error correction.For configuration, each Qfuse is associated with a one-time write register. The value of each Qfuse is sensed at powerup and stored in a register. Blowing Qfuses is done byplacing a value to a register and applying current to the fuse. The fuse registers areaccessible through JTAG and software readable address locations.

You can, but you will trip the qfuse.

You can, but you will trip the qfuse.

So in essence. It isn't the Nexus we wanted?

This qfuse is really putting a wet blanket on the fun. Duno why they implement this now and for a nexus phone too! Hope the devs can find a way around it.. I remember when Samsung also implemented efuses and I think there were ways around it.

Frankly, I'm unsure. Maybe Google wanted businesses to trust their phone to be more secure, introducing this will stop people from messing around with it in a business environment? I have no idea honestly.

Qfuse is a hardware, once trip cannot revert back.

Crap, no one mention this before.

Vulpix, where you get this info???

I see. Haiz got qfuse just like samsungs..

Phonearena seems to have a damning score of the 6P's battery life =(

From my understanding, as long QFuse is tripped, no more warranty correct? So even if you flash back a stock ROM and relock your BL before bringing it to the service centre, they can still find out you have messed around with your device and refuse servicing.

This, I can live with. I change devices annually for more than a decade but have yet seen the inside of a service centre. What I am more concerned about is how it will affect Nexus Imprint? And what if you unlock BL/root but stay on stock. Will you still get OTA from Google?

I found this link from late August from the leaked 6P. You can clearly see 'QFuse status ENABLED'.
