Thanks for this thread! This is exactly the situation I am in and am looking forward to doing the upgrade tomorrow. I'm very curious about the S-Voice fix when it's available.

Thanks again!

any updates guys on the S-Voice fix :)

georgshah:

yes i figured many had this same issue. Sickness really did great work to help me :)

i thanked all of his posts :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
If I remember correctly you said S-voice was missing, correct? If so I can provide you with the apk running on my phone to make sure it's compatible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] drfunkenstein2k:
I downloaded it and installed it. But any time you try to tell it to do something it says network not found.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
This is S-voice running without issues on my phone http://www.4shared.com/mobile/R4y0wPQnba/S-Voice_Android_phone.html download it and push it to priv-app and set permissions.

Download es file explorer from the play store and grant it permissions by opening it and clicking on the icon on the upper left hand corner.

Scroll down and click on root explorer.

A window will pop up and you'll need to click on Mount R/W. Then another window will pop up and you'll need to click on System under RW and click OK.

Then find the S-voice apk I provided and copy it by long pressing it and selecting copy.

Lastly you'll need to paste it to System/priv-app. You can get there by clicking in the upper center bar. Click on device and scroll down and you will see the system folder. Open it and scroll to priv-app and paste the apk in that folder.

Long press on the app when your done and click on more/properties and click on the tab next to permissions. You'll need to change permissions to rw- r-- r-- and click OK. Reboot the phone and you should have a working S-voice. I'm attaching a screenshot of the permission selections you need to choose to make it rw-r--r--.

I updated to Fenny stock 4.4.2 Rom without any mods. I would now like to update the Unlimited Tether Mod.

Is there a way to do that without losing all of data/setup that I have done already with Fenny's stock rom? I tried to search for the answer, but couldn't find if it was possible.

Thanks in advance.

Then I must be missing something. When I turn on tethering it looks for permissions and then turns off.

Any thoughts?

Status 7??

I've carefully read thru this whole thread. Downloaded, backed-up, made copies of backups (already saved me a couple times!). Was able to root my stock 4.2.2 & get current CWMR Touch installed (I've used it for a long time on my Vibrant and S3).

Every time I try to flash a ZIP ROM file, it errors out with a "Status 7". I've tried toggling the signature verification, no help.

I'm currently restoring my working/rooted/app'd-up 4.2.2 so I can put current TWRP on & see if that makes a difference.

Assuming it doesn't, what next??

This is the 1st time I've had the "leisure" of modding 1 phone while still using my current one. It's nice to feel like I have nothing to lose!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
That error usually means you have outdated recovery, but if it persists I suggest using twrp recovery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] OldMage:
Clockwork Touch was current, but TWRP solved the Status 7 error.

Now I'm waiting for Titanium Backup to finish it's restore to see how well things migrated from my S3 to the S4.

I'm hoping the purchase history in GetJar and AppGratis will follow across. I had my S3 pretty themed-out.

Ahh! Can't keep the battery from dying while trying to do the restore... :eek:

I'll have to do another Titanium cycle from the S3 to the S4 to catch today's texts & activity

Thanks for the suggestion! :highfive:

---------- Post added at 12:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------

Can TWRP restore a backup done by CWMR?

I'll do a new Nandroid backup in TWRP once 4.4.2 looks as close to my S3 as possible

Does Titanium save screen layouts, icon positions, folders, etc?

I really want to migrate my "user state" as completely as possible to the S4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
I don't think twrp can restore a cwm backup.. For your second question, I think it should, just back up your launcher settings as long as its not the touchwiz launcher, it may work but may also be screwy, you can try it anyway.. If its a custom launcher they may be a setting to back up your setting with will backup your wallpaper, icon placement, and all that stuff
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] OldMage:
Almost there...

Titanium did finally restore folders & icon layouts, and my Go Locker theme, but not all of my Go Launcher settings (I'll import those from Go Locker's own backup) or my SMS/MMS history. I've got EasyBackup working on that right now. I did the restore from 'snapshot', should I try the XML?

It's a lot closer. Funny... I like new toys, but I don't like change. Does that make ANY sense?? :confused:

This thread has been SO awesome. I used up all my thanks for today since I was messing around till after midnight.

Then I still need to flash the FNB4 modem and possibly the Fenny kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Easy back up will work fine, what do you mean should you try the XML?

And yup I'm the same way, I set up my S4 same way I had it on my S3 lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] OldMage:
Titanium asks if I want to use the snapshot (more accurate) or the XML (more compatible) during the restore.

I think I'm doing pretty good now. Between what I backed up to my PC over USB, what gets backed up by Google automatically, what I've gotten from Titanium... if I can get EasyBackup to finish it's restore, I'll be done. The phone restarted part way through the MMS restore :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
In don't use titanium, but XML should be OK, although I don't think it will restore MMS. Try waiting for a while after you boot, the phone can get pretty hot when restoring MMS with easy back up especially if its many. Not sure if that's the issues but it may be.. I usually just back up SMS & MMS with easy back up and it always restores everything without an issue
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] OldMage:
Looks pretty good now. FNB4 modem made a difference too. Added a couple bars.

How do I change the 'theme' of the dialer (among others, possibly)? I like dark themes, and this is white.
[General Questions and Answers] aman765:
Hello, I was looking into getting a custom rom on my rooted device but the more I searched on how to do it the more I was confused. Here are some of my questions:

1) what is bootloader and do you need to have it unlocked to get a custom ROM?

2) what is a custom recovery and do you need it to get a custom ROM?

3) what is flashing?
[HTC EVO 3D] techcntr:
Recently acquired an Evo 3D (Sprint CDMA) to replace my HD2 (AT&T GSM). The Evo3D has Android 4.0.3, and Sense 3.6.

Moved my 16gb Class 10 SDHC card from the HD2 to the Evo3D - seems to work fine.

However, I miss my SlimKat rom I had running (in NativeSD mode, dual boot with WM6.5) on the HD2.

The SlimKat files, etc. are all still in place on the SD card.

Is there a SIMPLE way to dual boot the Evo 3D into the already-present SlimKat rom?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisGrahamUK:
A collegue thought it would be interesting to see what the wipe data command on Exchange would do to my phone.

It appears to have bricked it.

The phone boots, shows the THL logo for a few seconds then shows a dark grey screen.

Is this phone recoverable.

I am a complete noob, first post, so if it is recoverable I'm going to need real step by step basic instructions.

Hope there is somebody who can help.

Thanks.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motanbigcat:
A hard reset could save your life;)..

Press and hold the volume (-) button and then press the power button for about 3 seconds, release the volume (-) button when the screen comes and wait for repair menu. It's written in Chinese. Go to the part which is writing MMC at the end with the volume (-) button and press the power button. You are now in the hard reset menu, press the power button again and wait until the phone opens. That's all. You will lose all your programs which you installed before if you didn't back up before but the phone will work. I saved my W200S yesterday with same solution.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futurebreeze2014:
Thanks for your advice. I noticed the Chinese menu but I avoided it every time being afraid of not ruining something ;). Anyway, these days I've found out how to flash new ROMs :D so I am fooling around with trying different ROMs, I got allowance from my wife for this :)). I am trying to fix an issue of the stock ROM, the proximity sensor doesn't light up the display when taking away from ear. The phone was not rooted so any attempt to enter engineering mode failed. Yesterday I discovered a MIUI ROM which looks very stylish and it solved the proximity sensor and even added the notification LED option (this was not included in the stock ROM). Now I have to test the battery life.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] -IK-:
I had my XDA Exec in its pouch and carried in my leather jacket pocket whilst on my motorbike on the motorway.

It started to rain heavily but I thought the phone would still stay dry.

Anyway, when I got home, water had managed to leak into the jacket and through the pouch and the Exec was pretty wet.

I left it to try, but now have the following problems.

1) Screen turns off when used in landscape mode and only works in portrait. Its like the device just turns off.

2) The device seems to slowdown like there are many apps running and the only way to speed it up is to soft reset.

3) My backspace key only works when I press it down hard.

So can this all be repaired, and where do I take / send the device. I'm in the UK.

Thanks for any help.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lbendlin:
IMMEDIATELY remove the battery. open the device if you have the tools and let it dry for TWO WEEKS.

Most water damage would be easy to remedy if it were not for an overzealous user switching the device back on way too early.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] firebutice:
hmmm though i agree with the advice of taking the device apart i do not agree with just letting it stand for two weeks, that will let the motherboard 'rust'.

mineral spirits and alike are great for cleaning the chips, be very carefull not to use to much for that will also create damage. worst case scenario this will remove any signs of water damage then u can claim on warrenty.

Huawei SD card update fail

I tried several recoveries and firmwares, no luck.

then in one thread I saw that I have to flash boot.img and then recovery,img. done. and now my phone is stuck at splash screen.

I can enter recovery but it wont install anything.

Yes, I saw that yesterday and put it on SD, but when I select "Install update so sd card", i go to dload folder and it's empty (yes, I checked if the UpdATE.APP is in there)

I installed recovery for b118 first and the boot.img and recovery from b506

so, my phones turns on, I can see the Huawei splashscreen. I can enter recovery as well. and my PC recognizes the phone.

My recovery wont install anything though.

So, can I flash some sort of recovery in this situation? Because I think that flashing the boot.img removed my ROM.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tileeq:
To revert on 4.2.2 flash first that: http://dl.vmall.com/c01l4l4a2y# via local update, after that you can flash 4.2.2 without issues again via local update.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] iwtfmcl:
I don't think you can use stock recovery to pick update.app from folder. You have to use 3 button power up method.

Just place update.app in dload folder on external SD card.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tileeq:
From the links i shared before you can get a dload/update.app that you need to put on sd card and update through the stock recovery before you try updating actual stock rom(4.2.2)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] iwtfmcl:
The term local update refers to update that you do from working ROM, meaning you are able to go to System updates when ROM is running and choose Local update from SD card.

In this case it has to be done by what's called forced update, 3 button power up method.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] DrRammel:
I know what you all mean and i tried many times but it wont install anything now! First I got fail, I couldnt choose a updat.app even though it was on sd.

Now it doesnt even load the whole recovery...

And I dont have a rom, when I reboot I am stuck at splash screen.

And the 3 botton method didnt work, after that i selected from sd card but no luck..

is on its way to repair centre right now..
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
Hello !

Sorry to tell you, but from start you did a wrong step ! First if you was on OmniROM, you must flash ONLY stock recovery for KitKat and not for JB ! From here start all issues in your device !

To avoid any issue , when you use a custom rom based KitKat and you want to downgrade to JB , first you must put your device to Stock Huawei KitKat ( doesn't matter if is beta, B506 or B507 ) ! To install Stock Huawei KitKat - you must to flash stock recovery KitKat - and than flash UPDATE.APP from /dload folder ( where UPDATE.APP is stock firmware Huawei KitKat ) !

Now you should follow the intermediate steps to be able to downgrade to JB ( by installing aditional update.app )

Anyway good luck, and I hope you can solve this issue !

Edit :

You can try this stuff :

First, use your PC with a new microSD to copy UPDATE.APP ( from Huawei KitKat ) in /dload folder !

Go here and take stock recovery for Huawei KitKat ;

Put your microSD already prepared on your device and connect USB cable! Put your device in bootloader mode ( just keep pressing power button and volume down more than 10sec ) - now you should be able to flash stock recovery in your device > fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ; and reboot your device > fastboot reboot ! Right now you can reboot in stock recovery ( adb reboot recovery or using combo key ) and start flash UPDATE.APP !
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] DrRammel:
Thanks man for helping me out but I'm dumb, if I WAITED; i wouldnt have this problem...

anyway, I already sent device to huawei a few hours ago, I hope I'll get a new device, I have warranty still..

Thanks to all, now everyone can see how to downgrade!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
Ok, good luck !

This is the reason why I always recommended to use JB Rom with JB Recovery and KitKat Rom with KitKat Recovery - to avoid any issues! :good:

Hi Guys,

had the same issue today, but thank god i was still able to boot on a bugged omni room to copy file back and forth on my sd card.

But i still cannot find any way back to 4.2...

I tried the steps which surdu_petru write down but i still have the same error message

Checking Module Verlist...

Huawei SD card update fail.

Maybe i made a mistake but these were the steps that i tried:

I`m on the Omni Rom 4.4.2 right now with trwp 2.7.0.0

1. i prepared a microsd with the dload folder of the stock b506 from the huawei site

2. i flashed the stock recovery (B506) from THAT post

3. rebooted the phone and pressed volume plus and minus

4. and then the error message appeard

Maybe someone can explain me step by step how the downgrade works, would like to see the b125 stock on my phone :)

Thank you!

Sorry for my bad english :)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
You should perform an intermediate step by installing a small update.app before to be able to downgrade to JB ! Solution a few posts above (try to read them all to see what you missed).
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] n00del:
u mean that dload from that chinese download site? i tried to flash this with the same method like the stock B506 but it also fails.

l
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] iwtfmcl:
Since you have working ROM, try to flash that small update.app with normal update process via System updates-Update from SD card, if 3 button method fails.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] n00del:
what i tried:

1. omnirom 4.4.2 with trwp 2.7.0.0 -> flash kitkat stock recovery -> flash Kitkat b506 -> failed

2. modified b506 custom rom with trwp 2.7.0.0 -> flash kitkat stock recovery -> flash that small update app from this chinese site -> failed

3. modified b506 custom rom with trwp 2.7.0.0 -> flash kitkat stock recovery -> flash stock b125 -> failed

4. omnirom 4.4.2 with trwp 2.7.0.0 -> flash b118 stock recovery -> reboot-> phone keeps vibrating and nothing works until i reflash trwp or kitkat stock

failed = Checking Module Verlist... Huawei SD card update fail
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
You should try to wipe cache , data and dalvik-cache ( on twrp ) , than flash stock recovery in this way :

Reboot -> Bootloader ;

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

press combo key to boot on stock recovery ;
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] rednic:
I had the same.

I put it in dload that: http://dl.vmall.com/c01l4l4a2y# via local update, after that you can flash 4.2.2 without issues again via local update.

Another link for the download in case it is slow from the first one https://mega.co.nz/#!9oEHUTiR!uVKEq6...QZ5yrnedx4rug4

I managed to get back to 4.2.2

Now I installed 4.2.2 b610 vodafone dload method.

Boot and recovery are 4.2.2? or have something old? How can I check?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] n00del:
So i tried to wipe cache, data and dalvik cache on twrp 2.7.0.0 and rebooted into bootloader and flashed the stock KK recovery from the thread.

Then i booted my phone up into the stock recovery and it tried to flash the B506 dload with the same error.

I also tried to flash the small update.app without success :(
