No problem, if I use the last [MENTION=6864096]NATO66613[/MENTION] kernel with this rom, or should I use the kernel it brings.

The cpu always has all the cores activated, by default, that's why the high battery consumption and the overheating of the device, I have to activate the hotplug msm in the kernel auditor app to have control of the cores and they are never all online.

salutations cordiales! :good:

Re L02 device with KIONIX kx023-accel

[MENTION=6864096]NATO66613[/MENTION] I tried AICP_hwY550_MM-11.0-UNOFFICIAL-20161106 because it looked promising, but couldn't get rotation working with or without SS v4, R5, or both updates. Will test again if you have updates.

[MENTION=4479868]desalesouche[/MENTION] I am now using cm-13.0-20161212-LISDH-kionix-Y550-cherry.

Rotation is fine. All seems good with following exceptions:

- Had torch from-dropdown-disappearing problem initially. Search shows it's a common cm13 problem. Edit Tiles (torch shows in edit menu, but is absent in normal dropdown, as are some other added icons), ie delete, replace / move tiles, then reboot, seems to restore it for me. Reboot-only wouldn't.

- Compass readings are erratic, but compass was similar with stock rom, albeit may be worse now. (Vendor: Asahi Kasei Mocrode, akm09911-mag).

- Wish I had USB flash drive mode as in stock kk. Could play mp4 files on phone SD from STB / TV with USB input directly. Seems this function may have been lost since kk though.

. . . Didn't try link2sd, but have Apps2SD working fine with f2fs partition on 64gb Kingston sdxc.

Please could you tell me - What does cm-13.0 update (cm-13.0-20161218-Y550-Y635-cherry.zip) fix / update?

Many Thanks desalesouche & NATO66613 for great efforts on our behalf, Peter W.

No I don't mean that. I mean is there a way of tricking the phone into thinking that the internal storage is my SD card?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therealvdeadline:
You could use an app like Link2SD (Requires Root) which uses symbolic links and a 2nd partition on your sd card to do exactly as you said: "to trick the phone into thinking that the internal storage is your SD card".

The last time I used Link2SD I almost bricked my phone, on reboot the phone wouldn't recognize the SD Card's 2nd partition with all my apps and a large amount of my system apps leaving me with an empty, almost functionless phone.

I wouldn't recommend using Link2SD or a similar app and I know others here feel the same way.

Also don't go uninstalling system apps thinking that you'll have extra space to install user apps. Uninstalling system apps only frees up space on the /System partition of your phone's internal storage, leaving the partition with your user apps etc with the same free space as before.

If you learn to manage your space efficiently then you won't have issues, I've got 1GB free on my phone without the use of Link2SD or similar and that's with a ton of apps installed too.

Edit: Obb on SD requires a newer Xposed version than 2.5.1 (the newest version that works on the Y550) Disregard what I wrote below.

I did some digging, you could try Obb on SD it has a feature to move game files to the SD on install from play store.

Only issue is that you'll need Xposed for this to work. The newer versions of Xposed don't work on the Y550, the newest version that works is 2.5.1.

I just found this page on Huawei's website full of downloads for EMUI 3.0 (The UI on our phones, the Y550 runs EMUI 2.3). Now none of the downloads are for the Y550 but next to the links it says "Open source code". Does this mean that we can edit the files to make it compatible with our devices?

The UI looks so sexy compared to what we've got now. What do you guys think?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hecaex:
Huawei didn't released EMUI3.0 for our device yet. And I think this wont happen at all. The 'download sourcecode' option on the link of emui3.0 for the p7 is just the Kernel source of it. With that you can make custom kernels and better custom roms as you don't need to use the pre-compiled kernel which can be extracted from the boot.img

Actually we have to wait a bit longer to see huawei releasing the kernel sources but emui3.0 will never come. Imho

Hi [MENTION=4618037]dimspace[/MENTION], [MENTION=6836126]HB72K[/MENTION], [MENTION=4814653]patrik.KT[/MENTION] [MENTION=5027205]hecaex[/MENTION] @ EVERYONE!!!

Hi guys, I'm asking (BEGGING) on your VAST knowledge of this device, on behalf of my brother...

He has the Huawei Y550 L01 (everything STOCK, firmware/recovery) and it's just died in a very common way as seen all over the internet. We've tried many different tricks to try reboot it, but alas all do not work. IT IS VITAL WE DO NOT LOOSE ANY DATA, as it's required for a legal case.. His phone just booted into Fastboot & Rescue Mode - Phone Locked

We urgently need to get the data off their, ie: Text Messages, Call Logs and Pictures for a case coming up soon.

What I would like to know, is it possible to recovery this data via either Fastboot / ADB or TWRP whilst it's in this state??

Does the phones Bootloader need to be unlocked to begin with, if so... bit late for that now as can't boot the phone. As it appears to be in Fastboot mode now, can we run Fastboot Flash Recovery TWRP.img to install TWRP recovery, and will that have root access within itself? (as I know where the messages are stored) or will this trip the phone further...

Is there any ADB commands we can use to PULL the messages out, whilst it's in this Fastboot state, but everything is STOCK firmware.

Open to all methods to recover data, it's important the data is not lost... What happens to the phone after data is (hopefully) recovered is not of importance, just the data is....

I pray you knowledgeable people can and will help us with this...

** Any idea's what caused the phone to go into this mode also?? As my brother doesn't tamper with things (unlike me) and keeps everything stock. He said it happened about a month ago, but pulling the battery and replugging it back in fixed it... But this trick isn't working now.. **

Many thanks, Lister

Hi [MENTION=7714717]pijussimke123[/MENTION],

Thanks for replying so soon, but as the second poster mentioned also... Wouldn't this method of applying the DLOAD folder onto the phone wipe/erase everything off the phone?? It is ESSENTIAL we do not lose any data... The files on are needed for an upcoming legal case....

Hi Stmr,

Yeah, not sure either... But when first saw that, was pretty sure it would erase the phone, like a factory reset. We're not bothered whether the phone works again, although would be nice... The most important factor is the data... Yeah someone mentioned on a different device, unlocking the Bootloader erases data also... :(

To install TWRP on this phone, can you do that with Fastboot? Does the Bootloader have to be unlocked to do so, or can you do it as it is??? Also, by installing TWRP, does that give root access to the filesystem??

Cheers, Lister

Hi Lister.

Not sure, but may be able to run TWRP in test mode from fastboot without bootloader unlock. See Installing Custom Recovery in http://xdaforums.com/android/development/huawei-y550-development-t3425524.

As eg, use 'fastboot boot TWRP-20150821-v2.8.7.img' command instead of 'fastboot flash recovery FILE NAME.img'.

Next, you should be able to mount partitions and use twrps file manager to see / copy files to sd, without flashing any ROM or recovery, or without initiating factory reset.

Someone may know if this will work, but that's what I'd try.

Hope this helps.

Hi [MENTION=7550078]pndwal[/MENTION],

Sadly this method did not work, it ran the command but failed to boot/run the TWRP... or even boot the STOCK recovery.img file. Even though the stock recovery is still on the phone, just thought we'd see if it was a signing thing or a permission (ie: lack of root).

But alas, can't remember the error code, but think it stems down to not having the privileges to run... :(

We're not gonna give up on this, my brothers case relies a large part on the evidence of this phone.

Can't believe so many Huawei's (not just the Y550, but even some of the higher end HONOR 8 phones also suffer the same fate randomly).

Spoke to Huawie's uk customer support yesterday, which was useless and pointless. Said they couldnt do anything about it, other than to charge us to restore the phone losing all the data. We can do that ourselves for FREE.... It's the data we care more about...

Why so many of their phones fail randomly like this, it's as though they want us to part with our money or upgrade to newer phones. The value of the phone is irrelevant, it's the data that's SO VALUABLE to us right now.

It happened about a month prior (should of backed up then I guess) so my brother said. But just removed the battery, put back in and all was good... Thought nothing more of it then...

I know the data is still there, and it's annoying I know exactly where it is and how to get too it... Just currently with dead phone and LOCKED to fastboot and rescue, am powerless to do anything... :(

Thank you so much for your help though, really thought this was gonna be our savior, seemed so promising... If you can think of anything else, please by all means do !!!

Many thanks, Lister

Sorry to hear that.

Another thought:

I'm. Not sure at what point data wipe / factory reset occurs after unlocking bootloader, but I have a feeling it's only when phone first boots to operating system, not as part of bootloader unlock function. If someone can confirm this, you may be able to use same method after getting root permissions through fastboot. IE flash or boot to twrp in test mode to use file manager to mount partitions and copy files as long as you can ensure it won't boot to OS / ROM and wipe.

Hope this helps. Never give up.
