[MENTION=7550078]pndwal[/MENTION] I got this phone in mid 2015, that time i flashed twrp with success, ( i think i flashed twrp 2.8.4.1) and i got twrp backups with this. Then i end 2015 i got updated stock rom and from there the stock recovery stays i guess.

I tried dload method and the stock recovery stays the same as Y550-L02V100R001C346B249

But i can boot from twrp using fastboot and i ended up flashing [MENTION=4479868]desalesouche[/MENTION] 7.1.2 that way.

I noticed in this thread at post #812 [MENTION=5056717]topstarnec[/MENTION] mentioned some similar problem.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pndwal:
[MENTION=8809693]nashsa[/MENTION] did it this way too, so you can always flash ROMs by booting to twrp from PC.

I wondered if recent update could be causing twrp not to stick. (On other devices stock ROMs overwrite recovery unless booted to twrp first.) Flash not sticking or overwriting could be occurring. I notice last stock build I had was Y550-L02V100R001C346B247SP01 whereas nashsa's is later (...249), so flashing older stock, or restoring full older stock using dload method may allow flashing recovery again.

[See IVE BRICKED MY PHONE! section in development thread below. Nb. Download stock ROM in step 1 seems to be for Y550-L01. You will want to extract stock rom from ROMs section, All Stock ROMs and Official Updates (L01, L02, L03), L02 Stuff]

Check 'Development' thread for alternative / useful files & info: https://xdaforums.com/android/development/huawei-y550-development-t3425524 (post #2 kept up to date presently by [MENTION=6726815]Saint_13[/MENTION]).

Nb. None of the official TWRPs allow flashing recent ROMs on L02. They all return error 7. Latest unofficial releases incl desalesouche's work.

All New users need to update (flash) modem partition. It is not updated with ROM. Only need to do this once. Flash 4XQWT_LP_Modem Baseband Version: 11060045 "Recomended for Lollipop And Marshmallow ROMs", but needed for everything after KitKat. Download from Development thread above, see Modems, post #2.

I'd also try this: install Huawei HiSuite, check it works properly (ie drivers set up properly), go to C:/Program Files (x86)/HiSuite/hwtools and try running fastboot flash commands from this folder (using Huawei's fastboot.exe here), rather than from C:/ADB.

Let us know especially if hwtools fastboot works. All best, PW.

Did you try to flash twrp image in twrp to see if it may sticks? (Put copy of twrp.img on SD card, Fastboot boot twrp.img (on PC), Go install, install image (SD copy), then select 'recovery' partition when prompted). I swap recoveries this way often.

Don't flash 64 bit GApps. Ours is still only 32 (just arm). I use nano. PW.

I will try to install whatsapp, but really I do not know if I'll be able to do it because of small memory (I have less than 1 GB free, but whatsapp backup is bigger than this, I hope it will go in SD).

Someone has set SD as main memory? It works properly?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pndwal:
I'm assuming you mean two storage partitions under Device storage, ~3.64Gb Internal shared, + SD card. If so you've successfully adopted.

In standard File manager (without root explorer privilege) you should see

only

SD card (near SD capacity), (usually storage/emulated/0). If you still see internal memory, you

haven't successfully migrated data

to SD card.

Please read carefully info in post #5784 re Adoptive Storage.

As I mentioned, In a standard file explorer (and with usb mtp computer connection) you will now see only your SD card, which is now your phone (user) memory (ie user data partition), and this has changed to the capacity of your SD card.

It doesn't show up before migrating data, even though formatted as internal, as user data partition needs to be swapped to it from internal and the migrate data process does this.

That's why there is no longer any internal phone memory showing. (It's now freed up for basically system data, system apps, and unmoved user apps.)

If you still need to migrate data to SD, go to settings, storage, SD card, 3 dot menu at top - and select Migrate data to move data from internal to SD.

Then go to Internal storage, Apps, and individually move any apps that have CHANGE button that haven't been moved automatically. Newly installed apps will be installed automatically on SD if developer supports SD installation.

If Devs haven't added 'move app to SD' support for some apps (and you want to move more), you can still move them. Go to Developer Options, select 'Force allow apps on external' in (Makes any app eligible to be written to external storage, regardless of manifest values).

Hope it helps getting space for WhatsApp etc. PW

Just moved up to lineage-14.1-20180105-UNOFFICIAL-y550

I can confirm Bluetooth issues on this and previous build (lineage-14.1-20171226_233047-UNOFFICIAL)

Problems are only in call. I didn't notice initially as I have several Bluetooth devices, and issue doesn't affect all. Eg, Sony BT headphones seem to work each time, but another BT earpiece (mono) works fine on first call after phone restart (and always works fine on my wife's Y550 with a much earlier lineage-14 build of yours), but

on subsequent calls microphone pickup becomes so garbled as to be almost inaudible.

Sound from other party remains good. Resetting BT connection doesn't help. Calls are clear only for first BT call after phone restart.

As I mentioned, since lineage-14.1-20171226_233047-UNOFFICIAL, AudioFX bug is gone! - working on headphones, speaker and Bluetooth (without AML mod etc), which is great! Also, in call volume level is now adjusted by vol up / down rocker buttons for earpiece, headphones, speaker and Bluetooth. Seems Echo for other caller / call quality is now ok too for phone earpiece, however

still have Echo for other caller (they hear themselves) with Y550 on speaker mode

.

I don't have any issues with Camera, or memory (using adopted), etc. Camera QR is great too. Working well. Thanks for efforts, PW

The SD card for testing has a capacity of 1GB

As it works outside, i can take pictures and videos

After formatting it for an internal camera can not see it

both in the system and other programs internal memory has increased correctly by the size of the sd card

Strangely, another application to take pictures for tests does not have any problems and saves them in the newly created internal memory
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pndwal:
OK. Is that a 1GB SD card???

I'm guessing it's very old and slow. Surprised it works at all as adoptive.

As I mentioned previously, Recommend fast SD card for phone-mem-like performance. I use 80MB/s SanDisk Ultra 64GB SDXC.

Adoptive does not increase internal memory by the size of the sd card

. Rather, it allows you to

swap

internal user memory with the generally larger SD card. As I mentioned, In a standard file explorer (and with usb mtp computer connection) you will now see only your SD card, which is now your phone (user) memory (ie user data partition), and this has changed

to the capacity of your SD card.

It doesn't show up before migrating data, even though formatted as internal, as user data partition needs to be swapped to it from internal and the migrate data process does this. That's why there is no longer any internal phone memory showing. (It's now freed up for basically system data, system apps, and unmoved user apps.)

Y550 has 4GB internal, and about 1.6 GB is generally assigned for user.

So by migrating data to a 1GB card, you have

decreased

the size of your user partition. This (along with very slow speed) is most likely the source of any problems you have with adoptive, as system (and possibly camera) is expecting 1.6GB or larger, with phone-mem-like response (speed).

Suggest you try testing with SD card somewhat larger than phones internal memory, and reasonably fast. Hope it helps, PW.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pndwal:
I haven't had such a problem, but my understanding is that partitions altered by custom ROM (as well as modem and recovery partitions) are not critical enough to cause permanent brick. Unless you have altered or used software that alters other partitions (eg NV and OEM info, including IMEI & SN), you should be able to recover using dload method. Have you checked https://xdaforums.com/android/development/huawei-y550-development-t3425524, post #2, IVE BRICKED MY PHONE! ? [Nb. Re dload: Download stock ROM in step 1 seems to be for Y550-L01. You will want to extract stock rom from ROMs section, All Stock ROMs and Official Updates (L01, L02, L03), L03 Stuff]

If something went wrong and bootloader or other partitions have been altered / damaged (assuming phone hasn't developed a physical memory fault, which would essentially be irreparable), you may need 3rd party software to repair.

Eg DC Phoenix (Huawei Bricked phone repair) claims -

"Exclusive features:

Repair Huawei firmware problems (Bricked, Bootloop, stuck on Fastboot mode etc.)

Can write firmware by fastboot with locked bootloader and locked FRP!

Huawei Firmware UPDATE.APP file direct writing in fastboot

Full erase and write full factory images in fastboot (DC Unlocker factory images in format DGTKS)

Any rom writing in fastboot without signature and compatibility checking! . . ."

Also, re HCU Client (Phone numbers REPAIR: If your phone is missing IMEI/SN or had selected to delete NV and OEM info when using repair Method 2, or other device info, you can repair and restore them to originals with third party software, like HCU client. You can use DC-unlocker credits on HCU client). HCU Client features:

What makes you think this is necessary? Didn't this result from simply trying to flash stock rom? (This wouldn't corrupt critical partitions even if flashed partitions become corrupt.
