The websites like Priceoye etc sells repacked / activated devices, what if they also patch a device with another dead phone of same model, we usually verify the imei on PTA's website whether it's legal, but in the aforementioned case, PTA would also call it PTA Compliant device and show same model. So there're many ways to cheat, they don't allow us to open box, otherwise it can be checked by formatting device.

Formating the device doesn't remove the IMEI since its been done via EFS/NVRAM partition or CERT in case of Samsung.

Guys my brother is using Oneplus 8 5G UW which is PTA Patached off course but stuck on Andoird 11. There any several OTA updates available but as the phone is patched so it's a bit risky to update to the latest Android. Does anyone try to update?

Depends on the method it was patched, If it is a hacky method like rooting it and changing QCN then it cannot be updated, if it is was patched via UMT tool then it can be updated.

If its already rooted then backup QCN file and update it if it fails then downgrade and restore the QCN file to regain the "PATCH"

DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Always take a nandroid backup of your IMEI/QCN before upgrading And have you checked your IMEI by dialing *#06#? It its empty/null then you're out of luck, You have to get it done from market.

Also try to go back to stock by flashing android 13 firmware, You can find guides at XDA.

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
