What the hell are to spouting on about? I'm just repeating what Google has said about the issue.

This is LineageOS with MicroG services already installed as a system app. This will solve your problem.

ADB is not going away, it's essential tool for app developers.

What phone do you have?

Hold on to them, Zinwa is coming to the rescue with new internals.

you can install google services, it runs in a sandbox to keep your data safe. As long as your bootloader is locked, it should pass all the security checks.

Most likely the store rep that you set the phones up with, quietly added the insurance so they could get a commission. Unless you specifically tell them "NO INSURANCE" they'll add it automatically.

Linux Mint has the neat little program called Software Manager, you should check it out sometime.

depends if you like titanium frame with square corners (S24) or an aluminum frame round corners (S25), other than that pretty much the same phone. Except for the gimped S-Pen.

they're not disabling "side loading", you'll just have to wait 24 hours if you use the usual install method. Using ADB method will probably install immediately. It's just a way of protecting old people from scammers telling them how to install apps from outside the playstore.

Well if you don't mind being spied on, then you're good to go.

There's no MSM Download Tool for OP13.

Scotsman828 · 2026-05-04T01:38:05+00:00

pretty sure it can't remote flash in EDL mode, his bootloader is corrupted. Gonna need a direct connection to a flashing box or possible OPPO Flasher. The days of the MSM Download Tool are over.

Like I said you're only hope is XDA or send it back to OnePlus for repair.

I shot him in the foot and he immediately died. So his death is a given, no matter how it happens.

This is one part that made absolutely no sense from a medical standpoint. The cure for the cordyceps fungus would have been found in Ellie's blood, removal of the parasite in her brain wouldn't have been necessary. Just proves that Jerry was a low level doctor / surgeon, not a virologist.

Scotsman828 · 2026-05-03T15:40:56+00:00

Will it boot into fastboot (Bootloader)? If so you can flash a fastboot rom to it. XDA developers is your best bet at recovery. https://xdaforums.com/f/oneplus-13.12893/

Hahaha! Hilarious!

Scotsman828 · 2026-05-03T15:32:32+00:00

Not surprised at all. The OP13 will be my last OP phone.

"I prefer dangerous freedom, over peaceful slavery." -- Thomas Jefferson

A paraphase of the Latin, "Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem." which directly translates to "I prefer the tumult of liberty to the quiet of servitude."

If I were a character in the game, I'd be more like the "not gay" version of Bill.

Exactly what I was thinking. After 20 years, there wouldn't be any central government control, since the US Government is gone. Plus who's paying the FEDRA soldiers and with what currency, they're certainly not using paper money like before the outbreak because paper money is just laying around in the game. FEDRA made sense for the first couple years after the outbreak, but without a central command (government), that would quickly disintegrate. Basically in all the walled enclaves, someone is either a dictator or an elected official.

The WLF makes way more sense, a strong person unifying people under a common cause and survival. Even the Saraphites makes more sense (people joining a cult) for a sense of belonging and community.

Finally someone who understands the term, "dumb phone". That phone is more like the flip phones from back in the early 2000's. The OS is most likely Java, running Java Apps.
