no matter if it come to the end of junary, i prefere huawei to take the very last version of lollipop because google patch the batterie drain issue of the first version of lollipop.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] leonardus_magnus:
Right... No Hurry....
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Fooox1:
The way it is right now on my other devices, I hope Huawei takes his time and makes it for it properly.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] teraskasi:
I have Lollipop on my Nexus 5 but I dont like it too much. It has trouble in the duration of the battery and there are several features that are not going as expected. I wanted to go back to 4.4. but you can not!

Once installed, you can't return easily.

I recommend patience and see how this Huawei version works!
[Ascend Mate 7 General] desmoloch:
Sorry for offtopic but nexus is the easiest device to go back to 4.4.4!! Just download the factory image from Google and install via ADB. Yes it will wipe your device, but its possible. Try to downgrade a Samsung phone...

Ontopic: i tried to find the facebook posts from huawei where they say "its coming (soon ™)". I cant find them!

Sorry but there wont be a lollipop Rom from huawei in the next weeks... CM or slimrom would be nice.

So what's the update guys? Lollipop out yet?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] jopomopo:
I've read somewhere Huawei Finland tweeted Lollipop update is coming in the second quarter of this year between April and June, no specific date announced.

Sent from my HUAWEI MT7-L09

Yeah I heard something around June to
[Ascend Mate 7 General] desmoloch:
Year?

Sorry but its coming when its coming... In my opinion: never...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] tixoo:
I hope you are not right, the phone has that premium feeling to it, it would be sad to be turned down just by the software for future purchases.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] tozneno:
eh guys keep cool, it's better for us to wait and have a very last update of lollipop like the 5.1 . you really want a buggy version juste for said "i have it" and then crying because it is not a perfect update with lot of bug?

come one , seriously, stay cool and just wait, this is not like if we haven't got lollipop, it's just a question of time.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] avatar_ro:
No Lollipop update in Switzerland .. We have to wait more...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Simona Simmy:
Dont understand some ppl such hassle for 5.0 ..

Just testing it right now on G3 and it is laggyyyy
[Ascend Mate 7 General] vimto25:
I got rid of g3 due to lag in the first place if ur saying lollipop update on g3 makes it still.lag ill defo keep.away if we ever get a update for mate 7
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Simona Simmy:
but that is why google released 5.0.1 and question is when it arrives on huawei products ???

christmaaas 2016 maybe ? .... :)
[Ascend Mate 7 General] vimto25:
I.don't think the g3 can be saved lol the CPU just don't handle the 2k screen very well.at all. Where as on the note 4 it has the 805 CPU and handles much better with the more bigger 5.7" screen.

I think its going to arrive in 2020 :p
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Simona Simmy:
yeah .. lg came with that qhd screen too early... am comparing it with mate7 is not much big difference.. in home screen is nice sharp but once u go to chrome browser all is same...

and to be honest more friendly reading is from mate7 probably bcos it ha 6''
[Ascend Mate 7 General] vimto25:
Yeah very true. Lovely phone the

G3 just not enough raw power for that nice screen otherwise I'd have it still now.

LG g3 with 810 snapdragon would be awsome
[Ascend Mate 7 General] blackinfinity:
To not wait two months to use the 805 instead was LGs most stupid choice... some people need to get fired in that company. G3 with the 805 would had been a NICE follow up to the G2. I was a G2 owner at the time and I was eaegerly waiting for the G3. The most funny thing is in benchmarks my old G2 did perform better... due to the 2K display. Some one would need to be first with a 2K display on a smartphone but to not wait for the 805 was totally braindead from LG... I did really like how the G3 felt in hand and the form factor, but when I tried the screen in the store I was not impressed, it is one of the darkest displays I have seen.. low contrast but high resolution ? I am eager to see what G4 have to offer..but I am more eager for their "Note" model which will be more premium and probably better specs too..

Other wise I think the big dinosaurs , samsung, LG and sony abd HTC have lack of competition they can get away with releasing crappy products because of lack of choices really, also most of he companies share a lot of the same components.. . One of the reason I did jump on the HUAWEI train was because I wanted to give a smash in the face of the big dinosaurs, to make them realize that competition from asia is coming.. in Sweden where I live Huawei have a microscopic market share, I do not think I have seen any person in real life with a huawei phone , even though they are in most electronic stores...

But budget phones does not sell good here.. it is easy and cheap to buy a phone with contract and you pay it off within a 24 month period.. the montly payment get so low that it is meaningless to buy a budget phone...

If the phone is really good and the update is very motivated I do not really care about the price, but the price we are seeing on samsung s6 edge models and apple 6 plus models are absurd... it makes me want to boycott them, but if the product was totally superior to the phone I had I might take the plunge... but we are reaching them limit, the S6 Edge is probably the absolute limit I would spend on a phone..if it gets higher you can almost buy a new TV for that money a good 60 inch tv.

[Ascend Mate 7 General] jopomopo:
It fixed mine 4g/LTE data connection drop out problem. Everything feels snappier. Battery life back to normal meaning very good. Navigation bar on the bottom of the screen, there is no option to modify it, so it's visible all the time excluding of course playing games etc. Few extra goodies like network speed top of the screen next to the signal bar. NFC icon on the dropout menu. And you can get finally almost every notification on the lock screen. Just to name a few...
[General Questions and Answers] Dahacker305:
So I just installed CyanogenMod on my HTC One M8 and I'm happy with it.

Before I actually did anything I made a full Android Backup and thought that if I ever thought of getting back my stock HTC firmware I would just restore the Android Full backup.

I actually created an extra backup using TWRP.

So the real question here is that how can I get back my stock firmware, and what does the "full Android backup" backup?
[General Questions and Answers] jacktpowell09:
It is definitely possible to go back to Sense 6 (or Sense 7 as it will come out soon), although you will have a clean slate on the Sense ROM after you flash it back.

It all depends what you backed up on TWRP. It asks you what you want to back up, from Data, System, Cache, and Dalvik Cache.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] aus9:
this is alternative way to root the Huawei Mediapad 7 lite

credits vampirefo for his id command root check

my model was/is S7-931w which has wifi

1) use google playstore to install a terminal apk

2) download an apk to sdcard called Root Master (english Version).apk

http://www.nextwap.net/mobile/vE4C-rxxce/root_master__english_version_.html

3) allow your device to install unknown sources

4) install apk and open it

5) you will see 3 options, system info....root....and manager......choose the middle one

it will take some time with some animation

the first time it ran.....I checked inside the terminal to see if id command worked correctly.....it did not

6) reboot the phone and try again

If successful, in a terminal you are looking for the su command to change the prompt from $ to #

AND then run the id command and you must see only 2 responses...... user id and group id

---if you get a third response you have to redo it and reboot it

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpjuk:
Hi folks,

I have recently purchased my Note Pro 12.2 and am loving the handwriting recognition. I want to use this to replace my day book, and have been playing with SNOTE and Hancom Office. Hancom is the current preferred app , as it is very microsoft like. I want to change the default font, text size and line spacing.

I can do this for every doc, but I want to set a template that includes these changes so every "new" doc will have these settings. Does anyone know how I can do this ?

I also want to change the icons on the toolbar on the right hand size of the page, if this is possible.

Ta

Great site by the way! Lots of great info.

I'm not sure what your needs are, but also take a look at papyrus. I am a college student and have totally replaced paper notebooks using the note 12 and papyrus. It really doesn't get much better.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpjuk:
I am a business user and am looking to replace my daybook noteswith the notepro.To do this I need to have an app compatible with Microsoft Office, that has a layer of text, and a layer for drawing/ notes. Hancom Office is great for most of this, just needs tweaks to the templates and the UI, and it come free with the Tablet. With the right template it will do everything I need.

I can't find a Manual on how to save a personalised Template though, or change the UI. I have looked at the Samsung & Hancom sites and no manuals!!

My Details As Follows;

Ok So I'm editing this post since I have had help with the first part, and I didnt want to flood the forums with a bunch of "noob" posts's. But I am not going to guess or assume I know what I'm doing. Especially considering the abundance of resources and knowledge everyone one these forums has already been kind enough to share with me... Ok so one or two more questions...

Ok so I'm understanding that the "Recovery" Tools/Interfaces and the MD5sum are important to understand. What exactly am I Checking with the MD5sum?? Is there anything SPECIFIC I need to know about that in comparison to my "GETVAR ALL" Details?

How am I able to tell if one or another is going to be COMPATIBLE with my SPECIFIC phone, or not??

Why so Many different Choices?

Then Im understanding the the "ROM/RUU" and the "Firmware" is what I'm going to execute AFTER the ^^recovery tools^^.... So if I'm understanding this right, once again

How am I able to tell if one or another is going to be COMPATIBLE with my SPECIFIC phone, or not??

Why so Many different Choices?

My Main Concern is, I Don't want to FLASH/OVERWRITE anything on my phone with something that

May OR May Not be compatible

... Also I want to just confirm that I'm understading the order of operations, and the difference between RECOVERY and BACKUP as compared to OS/FIRMWARE/ROM/RUU... Theres so many different versions of everything I could download.. How do I know if it's going to work with my phone specifics.. And am I understanding the ORDER of the "operations" that I am trying to execute.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] majmoz:
Which version of TWRP did you try to flash?

Did you use the fastboot erase cache command right after you flashed the recovery?

Can you post a fastboot getvar all except remove your imei and serialno?

---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

Did you check the MD5 of the TWRP file you downloaded? Based on your other post, it said it did not load. It may have been a corrupt download!

TWRP VERSION

4.18.502.7_ATT-WWE_FULL_STOCK.zip

After I tried the TWRP (I wasn't 100% confident that it had even installed) I then immediately wiped the cache. At that point my phone froze.. And So Did this Whole Process.

Now my CPU wont recognize my phone, and my CMD Prompt wont locate it when I use ADB. Although when I'm in fastboot mode it does work but it doesnt function in any way. I can hear my CPU alert when I connect and disconnect my phone, but the drivers dont install properly and I cant see my phone in the Device Manager.

I got through the unlock process fairly easily but now I'm stuck. I have downloaded so many diff things too... Just haven't tried anything crazy because I dont want to guess.

EXTRA/NECCESSARY?!? DOWNLOADS

(Everything I have downloaded as of now)

Java Development Kit

Android Studio Bundle

HTC Sync Manager

HTCDriver_4.8.0.002 (not even sure if its real OR if I should even mess with it)

ADB

ADB Drivers

Fastboot

Unlock Code.bin

Not Sure What the MD5 File is? I see HDR and NB0

Thanks in Advance for your Time and Help. I hope I can figure this out.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] majmoz:
I don't think you flashed the recovery what you flashed is the firmware for an older version of your firmware. And if you erased the cache after that then you don't have a recovery installed or it is corrupted.

Let's try this procedure to get you back up and running follow each step and when it is completed then move on to the next. :
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] poolproj:
Do I want to download the Drivers to the same folder as TWRP, Fastboot, ADB ...??
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] majmoz:
You can if you want, the drivers will be loaded directed to your PC.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] poolproj:
Ok I got the drivers and everything working. My phone now appears in the device manager and CMD prompt.

The TWRP is just a recovery interface right?

How do I "CHECK" the MD5... What am I checking/comparing it to? Also should I download the MD5sum aswell?

So after I get it and flash it to my phone (assuming everything works that easily.. lol)

I would still need to download a Firmware or a SuperSU?!

Or what exactly will happen once I have this TWRP Recovery Installed & flashed to my phone...?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] majmoz:
This post explains MD5: http://www.droidviews.com/check-md5sum-of-a-file-on-windows-mac-and-linux/

Firmware should already be installed on your phone

You can download and install SuperSU to give you "root"

With the custom recovery install you can flash custom roms and themes
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] poolproj:
If anyone knows anything about something please tell me everything.

I'm Still Having Issues, Any Feedback or Input would be greatly appreciated. I need the specific versions that are compatible with my phone and the software thats currently not working on my device.

Thanks!:angel:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] majmoz:
What are you trying to accomplish? Custom Rom? Custom Recovery? Root? Unlock Bootloader?

You have an AT&T phone with what I believe is the latest software, so what do you want to put on the phone or what do you want the phone to do that you can not do already?

What issues are you having that can be addressed?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] poolproj:
I have the TWRP and It is unlocked, but it wont boot.. I see the HTC startup screen then after that it just turns black.. I just want it to work like an Android Phone, doesn't have to be custom, but I just want it to turn on and load up so I can place calls, use data, and message... I guess I need the android software? or what... ?!? I couldn't get the SuperSU to flash, but I'm not even sure if I need that... I dont believe I'm trying to "root"... I think I'm just trying to actually Have ANY OPERATING SYSTEM?? It's confusing and wearing me out already.. Lol

Thanks So Much For Your Time! :D:good::good:

Install TWRP 2.6.3.3, if not already

In bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache

Download and flash in TWRP Guru Reset 5.12.502.2. Follow the instructions in the OP.

Hi guys,

I've just bought a Nexus 5 that got updated first to 4.4.3 and then 4.4.4 pretty much straight away.

But now I'm stuck, doesn't get Lollipop at all. I've tried the Google Services Trick, I've rebooted, I've tried without sim, I've tried another phone carrier (I'm in Australia and looks like my provider is still testing Lollipop and not sure WHEN it will release it at all).

Any other suggestions on what to try to get Lollipop? I'm an IT guy but I've never done the manual install or that kinda of stuff.. I had so far the Galaxy Nexus with 4.4.3.

If I install manually Lollipop and everything goes fine, what happens next? I mean, when a new version comes out, do I have to do it AGAIN manually? Losing all the data and stuff? Or ....?

Please advise :)

If you're 100% stock, download the OTA and manually flash it using the 'adb sideload' command - you won't lose anything
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blekm:
I bought it through ebay, how do I know if it's 100% stock?

More than losing data now (nothing on, it's brand new) what will happen when the next update will come out? I'll have to do it manually every time?

thanks for the help
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niflheimer:
If you are sstock there's not going to be any issues - and you'll continue to get the updates as they appear.

Look for the big OTA thread here on the forums.

Edit : You ain't going to lose data if you sideload the OTA - it keeps your storage intact. You only lose data when unlocking your bootloader for flashing factory images . Unlocked bootloader is not a requirement for sideloading OTAs
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blekm:
ok, understood. But to do the "sideloading OTA" the only requirments it to be 100% stock?

how do I find out if my phone is 100% stock?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niflheimer:
reboot to bootloader ( volume down and power pressed ). On the bottom of the screen it will say if the bootloader is locked or not . If it's locked , there's a very good chance the phone is stock. If it isn't you OTA will fail but it should not affect anything.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blekm:
it says

FASTBOOT MODE

Product name hammerhread

bootloader version HHZ11k

Carrier info none

signing Production

Secure boot enabled

Lock state Locked

so what is it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niflheimer:
Bootloader locked , and you have the stock kernel and rom. Sideload that OTA and you are ready to go !
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blekm:
ok, sounds awesome. I think I'll give it a try over the weekend!

Any other advise? I'll look for a guide or something to sideload the OTA and I'll cross my fingers

Yes, it will work. Note that unlocking the bootloader and/or flashing the flash-all.sh will wipe your device so backup first off your device

but I won't have to unlock the bootloader, from what I understood, no?

Anyway, I got no data on it so for now it's not a problem. I'm more concerned for future manual updates, when I'll start having data on it
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
You will be master till new version released and there will be no problem for you. You will flash image without wipe or copy data to PC and make a full install or unlock bootloader and wait for OTA again. Even it is possible that you will be on some custom rom.

Just stop to be so scared about anything - the world of android is yours. :)
