[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] kesun:
So I decided to give fate a shot, and went straight with your method (started copying the first .app file to the SD and update it). It worked! So it seems like my device's bootloader was already unlocked? Anyways, I followed your method seeing that the first step was successful, and now I have the international kitkat with full working Google Store! My deepest gratitude to all of you!

[MENTION=716658]warea[/MENTION]: I actually had the Google Play services installed, but it would simply crash on me after I entered my account, just before the policy page showed up. I reset the phone multiple times, went with all the methods I could find about getting Google Play to work with the Chinese version, but I couldn't...Which makes sense, because it's likely forcefully blocked to avoid conflict on interest. That's my guess though!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] osstis:
Uhmm That's weird, I have no problems with google services at all. I've changed official roms B132, B125, B510, B512. B634 a multiple times and Google always works. Which Rom you are running now? In my case B132 is best one, I will wait for another KitKat release as for now all KitKat seems to be a little sluggish for me.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Adrianrff:
Hi.

I'm in similar situation as kesun (OP) was: I'm running B508 right now and I want to install the international version B512. Google Play Store was installed, but it also crashes everytime I open it and it can't be fixed with any of the suggestions found online (downloading newer version, updating Google Play Services, clearind data and cache, etc.)

I know that in order to install B512 I have to first install B132, but I recently discovered that the bootloader in my phone is locked, does that prevent me to doing this? If so, how do I unlock it?

Thank you all in advance.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Adrianrff:
Can anyone please give me a hand here? I've been told that the bootloader doesn't have to be unlocked to install official firmware, so I gave it a try.

The methods described here involve flashing EMUI 2.0 (which I already have, do I need to flash it again?, can I do that with bootloader locked?), then installing the B132 firmware and them the B512.

I encountered a problem when installing B132 via local update. It says "Huawei SD card update failed", then it does a couple of steps and gives a big FAILED.

I remind you the my bootloader is locked. I suspect this is the problem. I'm currently running 4.4.2 with B508.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tileeq:
Try the suggested method and install the emui 2.0 even though you already have it, because I know few months ago people had problem reverting back to jb without the update. Then you can try to install the B132.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Adrianrff:
Thank you. I'll try that then.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] taaeem:
There is a downgrade update.app for EMUI 2.0 just search here on XDA otherwise you will not be able to downgrade.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Adrianrff:
Thank you, taaeem. Would hat cause the error I described ("Huawei SD card update FAIL")? or there could be other reasons for that?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] taaeem:
Yes this would cause such a error message, there could be a different problem but I don't think that.

Search for EMUI 2.0 downgrade
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Adrianrff:
Thanks again, mate.

EDIT [MENTION=5738857]taaeem[/MENTION], sorry for the hassle, but I have a few more doubts.

Is it important which version of the firmware and which Android version i'm coming from? I'm running B508 right now, which is a KitKat firmware. Can I just flash a 4.2 firmware (B132) from a 4.4 firmware? I've seen many post talking about flashing some other stock recovery in order to being able to go from B50x to B132 and then to B512. Do I need to have bootloader unlocked for this? If you culd just go through the steps quickly I'd appreciate it greatly.

Thanks in advance
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] taaeem:
No need of other stock recovery just download the downgrade update.app and put it on your dload folder and update. Than put B132 update.app in the dload folder IMPORTANT delete the other file before.

And then update again and that should work.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Adrianrff:
All done!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] brandonsisco:
Will say Update FAILED if USB cable is plugged in, must UNPLUG usb cable for stock recovery to update successfully.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asadbodla:
I just rooted my Galaxy I9505 and flashed a custom ROM available on this link http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2789666

I used TWRP recovery method and the ODIN showed the processes as successful.

But when I flashed the ROM it was successful (but in threads it showed message can't read Sdcard in red colour). After flashing I rebooted my phone but now it gives message: unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped

NOTE:My phone was encrypted before I rooted my phone.

Please help..I m unable to use my phone
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackerse7en:
well, the link to the custom rom is down, have you tried to wipe data,cache,dalvik and battery stats,

or try another rom, or restore your nandroid backup,

are you sure that rom is for your device?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asadbodla:
Yes I wiped the data, cache, dalvik but not the batter stats. I tried backup but it also didn't work. The phone continued to restart from the encrypt password screen and didn't continue to home screen.

In the end I unrooted the phone to the stock firmware from sammobile and it went all well (I had to wipe that data from recovery after unrooting)

The only I am facing now is that I can't update via OTA (it shows the message phone is modified). Rest everything is fine.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asadbodla:
Also i would like to mention that while flashing the ROM, it couldn't find the MD5 file and also couldn't read the sdcard.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoxx3m:
Thats not true, BE works on unlocked bootloader too, on 4.4.2 & 4.4.4 stock ROMs. You don't need to relock it or restore DRM keys. Try this and see if theres any difference. Open one picture in Album app with BE turned off and take a screenshoot. Now turn on your BE and go to Album app, find the same image and take sceenshoot again. Now compare screenshots, you will see the difference. :)

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiforanfula:
Hi,

I just bought a Moto G LTE, and before I had a regular Moto G. My old Moto G had a screen with vivid colors and very good brightness and contrast. But to my surprise, my new Moto G LTE has a screen with pale colors, and very poor contrast and brightness. This does not prevent the use of the device, but it is a drop in the quality of the screen compared to the first Moto G.

Is this normal?

Regards.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theonecallednick:
it's normal..
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeltingSnowman:
You just got unlucky. Maybe thay unit barely passed the quality test so it was installed in your device. There's nothing normal in that and I don't think you could return it in. Also it could be possible that the manufacturer of the display is different between the Moto G LTE and non-LTE. Sorry man.

I tried to re-install stock rom and im not sure if im downloading wrong one or what but when using odin or whatever it is called it fails everytime.. Someone please help there is money in it for you.. :crying:

No need for the bounty brother...

But then check sammobile.com for the correct firmware of your phone and download only 4.4.2.

Not a version less. I.e DO NOT FLASH 4.3 or 4.2.2.

They wont work at all and will brick your device too..

So stay calm..download your 4.4.2 firmware from sammobile.com and flash it via odin ^_^

Nothing more in that.. :D

Report if some error occurs again.

Plus if you are carrier specific as i can see...

This might work for you...

Flash at your own risk brother..

Press Thanks if I helped :)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepankarS:
Haha..nothing great in that too..

●Flash philz recovery.

●deknox it first, then root it and then update supersu by turning the phone on.

●Now flash any rom by using philz ^_^ :D

This long method is just to avoid complications..:P

Otherwise you can directly flash a rom via philz without deknoxing your phone..most roms a pre-deknoxed. :P

Hi. I need some help. Some history:

I get rooted my device and install SafeStrap, but after doing that i cant boot my device. I can choose recovery, but if i choose continue - then nothing but black screen. I made a backup to internal storage, but then i made a huge mistake and try to flash a stock firmware.

i am choose what seems to be my version(4.0.4, asia one) and flash with RSD lite. then i recognize that internal partition (with backup) has been formatted and phone wont boot anyway except BP tools, mtp or mass strage not work, and i get "CustomerID error,Contact Dealer" on boot, i start googling..... i found that i can flash 4.1.2 gb version and it may help, but it doesnt.

Now i am at 4.1.2 gb version, phone boot only at BP Tools, mass storage not working (at service command stop). How to get things right? Please, help.

After you enter the first receipient, just start writting the name of the secondone in the field To, a list will be displayed with your contacts list, just select the one you want; go ahead untill you have added all the contacts you want.

You can also press select (d-pad center) immediately after selecting a contact while you are in the TO field and it will take you back to your contacts where you can search.

If the network has internet initially, it buys me the time to enable screen casting after which the link remains up. The problem is when powering on the chromecast without internet access. It effectively disables the device and makes it invisible to the screen cast search.

Is there any way to circumvent this limitation? I don't need the chromecast to have any access to the internet at all for my usage.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Nope the CCast needs Internet to load the app it uses to display your screen or anything that is being streamed to it!
[Google Chromecast] Xenosis:
So it might be theoretically possible to supply that app in the closed network?

It doesn't need the internet for screen casting at all, just the in-app chromecast link, which I don't use at all. I just use the mirroring functionality.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Nope!

Not unless it is rooted and you have your own local Whitelisting that points to your own app....

And you would STILL have to fnd some way of downloading and storing a local version of the mirroring app that is normally loaded from the internet to point to with your custom whitelist.
[Google Chromecast] miniminus:
im not able to do any kind of "offline" playback :(

which was a big part of me rooting ...

so how would i go about trying to have a local app for the whitelist etc ....
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Next to impossible....

The playback will stay offline but it still needs an internet connection to load the player that will do the playback....
[Google Chromecast] Sage:
i've been googling for hours. the whole world is crying out for this.. Give me Chromecast mirroring without internet!

Surely with a rooted phone and rooted CC it must be achievable.

Anyone ever log where the CC goes looking for the streaming app? If we can work out that surely we can:

Download it manually.

Host the app on laptop/tablet - Redirect via DNS or webserver.. proxy.. something!..

I may try and hook up my CC through my wifi internet sharing so i can wireshark to see where and what its doing via the internet.. so i can then attempt to spoof it..

(I really want to get this working on WifiAP alone - no internet). (I got a lot of places with no internet whatsover available).

Any other suggestions would be appreciated..

(I dont have a rooted CC at this point so i may have trouble).
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
What you want to look at using is Miracast....But it requires having a device that supports it.

Most Miracast Dongles also have a DLNA Mode that will allow you to send streams of content to directly play on it allowing you to use other apps on the launching device.
[Google Chromecast] Xenosis:
I happen to be in a particularly rare (I hope) situation as the HTC One m7 that I have cannot properly do miracasting but can do chromecasting very well. By not properly, I mean netflix screen remains black on the receiving device when attempting to miracast.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Yep there is a lot involved in getting any of these to work due to the limitations of both systems...

There are other ways to go about getting what you want...

1 - Get a Roku which you can send content to using a variety of means or control directly if you get a model with a remote.

2 - Get one of the many Android Sticks and load up a DLNA player (like aVia) that most CCast capable apps can send content to directly.

3 - If you have a cell phone simply buy and add a Mobile Hotspot device to the account that shares your data allotment. You won't be using a lot of data if all you are doing is streaming local content, just the small data needed to load up the receiver app the CCast needs. And you have Data and Internet capability anywhere when you need it.

But the CCast itself is meant to be little more than adding some smart capability to a TV which in most cases requires internet access.

That's why it's so cheap because it doesn't require any storage to keep Apps on the device it gets it all from the Internet....

Unfortunately it also gives Google complete control of what can be displayed on the device which is why everyone was so quick to root the device.

Perhaps in the future some Developer will make a custom rom that allows direct streaming without the need for Internet connection...

But who knows what kind of hornets nest that might stir up with the content providers. Right now everyone agrees the most important thing is to get more support from content providers for the CCast Device and concept.

Anything that might get them to shy away is probably not worth doing right now
[Google Chromecast] ryan4a:
Hello. I'm trying to mirror my new Nexus 6 to my TV using a Microsoft Wireless Display adapter. The N6 does not officially support miracast, but I enabled through a build.prop edit and using WiFi Direct. It works perfect for everything except Netflix and Hulu (just audio works with a black screen and controls displaying). I'm guessing this is a HDCP/DRM problem. Anyway around this? Would Chromecast work? The N6 does support CC., but I DO NOT have internet in my home. I don't want to stream anything on the TV. Just stream on my phone and display on the TV. If I use hotspot to establish an initial connection for the Chromecast, then turn the hotspot off, would mirroring still work?

Thanks
[Google Chromecast] Xenosis:
Direct answer I think is no if you need to get external content. If you enable a hotspot, you will be able to hook the chromecast up to your phone and it will have internet. You would then be stuck as to connect to the chromecast you would have to disable the hotspot. After doing that, your chromecast is thrown into the abyss and needs a new network to connect to.

If your intended usage is in-home then you just need a chromecast pushing device in an isolated wifi network. That wifi network can be your phone with tethering on. You can use another phone (doesn't need data, just wifi) to cast to your chromecast and get data over the tethered connection.

If you want to cast a local file to chromecast, you can get any cheapo router that would be connected to nothing and that should all work smoothly without even using a hotspot.

I happen to be in the same boat when it comes to black screen miracast and yes I think it is an HDCP problem. I am searching high and low for a way to disable HDCP checking when outputing over wifi.

Useful info though not about my phone or yours:

[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
No your Video issue is probably a codec issue with your wireless display adapter.

I'm pretty sure also that Netflix and Hulu have protected their displays so that screen casting would not work.

It's not HDCP/DRM per say but it is a way of protecting the content from being copied.
[Google Chromecast] ryan4a:
Thanks. This solution worked...sort of. I'm was able to tether my data from my Nexus 6 to an ipad and the chromecast to establish the initial connection. Now, I disconnect the ipad and the chromecast will still be connected to my tethered network. This allows me to stream Netflix and also mirror local content using only the chromecast and my tethered N6. It is a workaround, but I was hoping to use pure miracast and avoid tethering. But oh well.

[Google Chromecast] Xenosis:
Is there any way around this limitation?
[Google Chromecast] Xenosis:
Even better solution - try this out:

You can set up a mobile hotspot, pair the chromecast to that hotspot one time with another android device, and than go into the chromecast app on the hotspot phone, and finally ignore turning wifi back on and just cast screen to the chromecast. It works flawlessly.
[Google Chromecast] ryan4a:
Thanks. Not sure I know what you mean. I'm really trying to eliminate the need for hotspot completely. I have an unlimited data plant and I'm worried AT&T will find out about my unauthorized tethering, then force me into a capped plan.
[Google Chromecast] Xenosis:
That's what's great about using screen cast. The chromecast won't actually be pulling data from the hotspot. It's somehow piggybacking on the devices hotspot wifi network subnet and just pushing data directly to the chromecast. Your phone will authentically be pulling any stream data from your data plan as it would normally.

ie the chromecast is just a receiver in this configuration. In terms of actually casting an app, I'm not even sure if that is possible so I don't think you'd even accidentally be having your chromecast use data.

There would be the small amount of chromecast traffic checking for an update or whatever it does idly and that would go out over your phones data.

To be safe I would recommend something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.formichelli.tetheringfix&hl=en

I don't think they could force you to change plans but they could charge you for the additional hotspot service. A working tether fix should spoof any hotspot traffic as your phone. Typically these giant companies aren't worried about the small-fry data users (talking insignificant here with a chromecast).
[Google Chromecast] ryan4a:
Right...this method works for casting the screen and playing YouTube videos only. But if I want to use Netflix or Hulu, I have to cast it through the chromecast. When I try to simply mirror Netflix, I get the same black screen I get when using a regular miracast dongle. So the chromecast is using my data, but maybe it would be the same amount as if I was streaming Netflix directly on my phone.

And here is how I enabled tethering on an unlimited plant:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wF2BZ2gx7r8

Not sure if this uses the same method as the app you referenced above, or if AT&T will notice.
[Google Chromecast] Xenosis:
Hmm.. That is too bad. I have the same miracast problem with Netflix but chromecast always worked for screen casting (whole OS) and normal app-based casting.
