I have flashed xordos's twrp backup on my consumer cellular HAM2. I believe the ROM is stock ROM. Apart from facebook apk, which didn't install, everything seemed fine. Of course, you have to restore cust folder manually as the cust folders for cc version and the stock are different or the cust folder does not exist in the stock ROM (can't remember exactly).
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
I hope this means I can just use xordos's file if no one else has a stock T-Mobile rom. I might be SOL...
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
Well, I would say you could use the released Rom from the Huawei website but since it's a different format from the typically seen .zip that is hard to say. For example, typical "ruu's" would be applied through fastboot with the command rebootruu. Of course there is a bit more instruction that goes along with that but nevertheless, Huawei uses a different approach, and since I haven't been able to unlock my bootloader yet I haven't been able to run simple tests such as the above mentioned.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] 4L0M:
Can't you just download the latest full rom from Huawei for MT2-L03, put it on external memory card and do the power on, volume up and volume down at the same time auto update method like us Asian Mate 2 owners can? If you can, then it doesn't matter if you have TWRP installed, an auto flash of the rom will put stock recovery back on and go to back to stock rom.

I can't see why what carrier you are on is going to make a blind bit of difference, unless you have one of those cut down 8gb CC versions.

---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------

Surely the updates for this phone come from Huawei themselves, not a specific carrier? I have a China Unicom MT2-L05 Mate 2, yet I'm from the UK and my network provider is a Virtual Network called GiffGaff.

All of my OTA updates such as the KitKat updates have come from Huawei themselves.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
Yes, they come from Huawei themselves - why wouldn't they. But before the release is made by Huawei, the carriers are given access to these updates to make whatever necessary changes they need to make if they so choose to. Even if it is something as simple as a trademark.

For example, HTC One is on multiple carriers such as T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, and so forth. But mix matching "Roms" always ends up in errors one way or another. And I guarantee you that if you view an HTC One out of the box from each carrier they will all have their noticeable differences.

Selected for Beta

Me too.....guess I better comment again

" wrote on the wall of the HAM2 site to be part of the beta testing on the very day the article was posted. I have received no message from Huawei saying I have been selected even though the guy there responsible for adding users said in a post that our usernames had been added. I thought I'll be selected for testing, so how come I didn't get a message like the rest of the guys here ? "
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] kimtyson:
You should have received an email from Taylor Wimberley inviting you to the Friendly User Test (FUT). There is a link in the email where you then log into the private forum. At that time you are enrolled in the FUT.

There is a Google Hangout that people are signing up for. The Hangout is not part of the FUT. It was organized by a member of the FUT crew so we could keep in contact with each other. You may be referring to the Hangout when you say there are messages that people have been added.

---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

Firstly, this Friendly User Test (FUT) is only for the unlocked MT2-L03. No other variant is included. That includes the CC. It is not included so don't waste your efforts, for now.

You are correct, we will need to revert to stock, and then apply the Lollipop update. Huawei will be providing instructions and the firmware to revert back to stock. You can relax on that part.

I agree with 4L0M that the carrier is immaterial in this case. Especially since this FUT is only for a specific variant. (And in fact, I do not think it matters in general but that is all off topic so let's not get caught up in that discussion here.)
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] foltz61:
As far as I know there is no T-Mobile version of this phone. It can be used on T-Mobike but T-Mobile never sold a HAM2.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] yslshannon:
Left a comment under the beta test announcement today. Nothing happened yet but I noriced that the wall has not been read by Wimberley for a while
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
Some of us here have the consumer cellular HAM2. What will be our position regarding this Lollipop update ?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
CC isn't getting the update. It will have to be ported over to CC by a motivated XDA member or another member from another site.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
Yeah that was where my confusion was. T-Mobile never sold their own version, so I thought I would be fine using some other carrier's image. Oh well, if [MENTION=355351]kimtyson[/MENTION] is right and Huawei will really provide firmware and instructions then I am fine.

As for CC users, I thought there was a way for them to "convert" their HAM2 to a normal HAM2?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
But I've already flashed xordos twrp zip file. For all intents and purposes (as far as I can say), I'm on stock ROM. The CC HAM2 is exactly the same as the unlocked HAM2, hardware wise. So, does that mean I'll be able to update my HAM2 just like other OEM HAM2 users ?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
Could very well be that the two are identical making the transition too simple. Only time will tell.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] RobbH:
I think it's safe to assume that the beta group has been filled.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
Any news? Or still nothing yet? :rolleyes:
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Borghi:
No news from Huawei yet today. Sometimes they issue updates after working hours.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] pucherto123:
They do have a unofficial version already ppl are trying it out right now
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] kimtyson:
Lollipop Update Status

Here's the status of the Lollipop FUT group. They still do not have the official firmware to release to us, however they have released an "internal" version and have allowed a few of us to play with it and report any findings. Taylor Wimberley still thinks we will will get the official external version this week. Time will tell. The internal version that we have is definitely Lollipop, so it IS going to happen. However, the version we have is not as stable or polished as it should be to be released within the next couple of weeks, as they announced. In my opinion they will not have the public release in time for the first half of the year as they had announced. That said, they are very close and they are working on it.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] pucherto123:
Hey man are you testing it out yourself yet?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] rdbud:
I am. They have politely asked us to keep discussion on their private forums.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] kimtyson:
Yeah. I'm testing. So far they haven't had us sign anything and they really haven't told us not to talk until recently something was posted on our private forum that we should keep discussions private for now. I am going to try and see how much, if anything, we are permitted to talk about. But, Lollipop will be a reality.

EDIT: They have clarified that we are not to discuss the test. So, mums the word. And please, don't ask me for the files because I will just ignore you. Sorry.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
If anyone is familiar with logcats, dmesg, etc etc, then I am sure they would be greatful for such information for purposes of warnings, errors, and possible fixes. Then again, I am not too sure how they are conducting this test. The Rom could already have such concepts implemented in it already which sends reports back automatically.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] da7thsign:
I just got this phone. I'm loving it so far, just got a question or two. Are there a list of features that the lollipop update is bringing? I mainly just want to know if there will be a way to do group messaging from the stock messenger, I tried a few free aps but they all are either free trials or loaded with ads.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
Try Textra. Also, the EMUI website shows the features.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
Why is the testing period clandestine ? Are they making a bomb or something ?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ElCid43:
One of the first few to sign up and I see some already have the preview. I guess there is a PRE-PRE preview for a select group from the select group of pre-testers. If that makes no sense....neither does any of this to me. Start a forum months ago to get people excited for all of this, then tell them it's happening so sign up, and we do. Tell us we are in! YEAH! But wait, just a few of you can have the ROM now!

Thanks for all the confusion
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
In all my days of Android I have never heard of a company tell people not to talk about an update. Not releasing the beta rom yes. But not discuss it off site? Extremely odd at best. Leave it to Huawei to say such a thing. If it was indeed them that said it.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] kimtyson:
Trust me, I get as frustrated as anyone else. I am in the pre-pre group. The Huawei rep is trying hard to get this going as fast as he can. The biggest issue is that Huawei still has not released the external test firmware. They keep testing it, making more improvements, and testing again. I can tell you that things are progressing. And Lollipop is coming sooner than later. Oh, they also have another surprise in there. And it's all pretty nice. All I can say is hang in there. It will be worth it. Wish I could say more.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
The problem comes in as the Android licensing. Google states in order for companies to use and distribute Android it has to be released openly. Even the source has to be released. If not they are in violation of Google's terms of use. They did release somewhat the source for 4.3. Not correctly. But the hush hush nonsense with L is pushing the boundaries.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] rdbud:
Eh, it's not like that. It's more of a gentlemen's handshake agreement than a strict NDA. They're being cool about it so I will too.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
I wish dude would respond to my request to test. I signed up in the initial group and heard nothing back from anyone
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] rdbud:
Go to the thread about being added to the Hangouts group and ask to be added. That should take care of your problem.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] kimtyson:
I guess it's possible that they have the number of participants that they want. But, I agree with rdbud.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Actually it is. Google just doesn't push it. By licensing they are supposed to release source to anyone who asks. It's also posted here on XDA forums for all to read.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] foltz61:
That may not apply to something that hasn't been released publicly.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
Do you have a link to that one? I haven't see it
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] rdbud:
They have to release builds they privately give to a dozen people to test for bugs? That seems excessive.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ArkAngel06:
It's just people feeling entitled.

[Nexus 6  General] sipherian:
Just found this article and I thought I'd share it with y'all. Hopefully it won't get pushed back again.

http://phandroid.com/2015/02/25/exclusive-verizon-nexus-6-launch-march-12th/

This should put its release right around the release of the Galaxy S6 and maybe HTC one M9. What do y'all think of this?
[Nexus 6  General] jamiethemorris:
I think what could they POSSIBLY be doing that requires them to release it this long after other carriers? Does it take that long to test if bloatware works on it? Are they just trolling? Or are they fighting back and forth with Google trying to get permission to lock down the bootloader like a chastity belt?
[Nexus 6  General] kidhudi:
i am pissed at vzw .. i waited patiently for this day. and no release.

i may wait till march 12th. but if they don't release it then i am off to tmobile
[Nexus 6  General] sipherian:
I'm trying to decide if I want to wait. I unfortunately am stuck on the edge up program. I really want the nexus 6 though but not if VZW has ruined (like they usually do). And I fear that they are ruining it right now.
[Nexus 6  General] kidhudi:
quick question guys

i have 2 lines. mine is a galaxy s3 that has been out of the 2 year contract since september. i have been waiting for verizon to release the nexus but i am sick of getting jerked around besides i live out in the sticks so i am forced to use a network extender because i have no signal at my home and i just found out t-mobile has wifi calling and texting.

my other line is my brothers lg g3 that he got in september of last year. so he is still paying it off.

question 1.. will t mobile pay my early termination fees if i decide to switch.

question 2.. will my brother be forced to pay off the remaining balance of his phone? or does t mobile pay that too if he transfers his phone to t-mobile?

thanks guys for any input
[Nexus 6  General] situman:
Wouldn't it be easier to ask T-Mobile directly?
[Nexus 6  General] srphoenix:
Try their free test run first before you switch. I tried them and while their corporate customer service was flat out amazing, the signal was terrible anywhere but large cities and the WiFi calling was a joke, literally had the 56k dial tone pop up during conversations...
[Nexus 6  General] kidhudi:
thanks that is a great idea. i live in central NJ so far i am seeing good things about the coverage in my area. and towards NY.

i will try the free test drive thing and see if it is a good fit for me.

it looks like they will pay the termination fees. and according to their site they will give my bro 130 dollars for his phone as a trade in.

maybe he would have better luck on swappa or ebay.

but it will cut my bill from 700 minutes of phone (old plan i never updated) and 2 gb of data each for 180 a month from verzon to unlimited phone text and data from t-mobile for 129 a month which includes the financing for the nexus 6.

thanks guys for the info
[Nexus 6  General] huitz:
I hear this may be due to VoLTE implementation for the N6. Does that mean that if I bought the Motorola/Google Play version that I'm out of luck with VoLTE?
[Nexus 6  General] ToxicSkin:
http://phandroid.com/2015/02/26/exclusive-verizon-nexus-6-march-12-android-5-1-volte-support/

If this is true, it make the lateness of the release almost null.
[Nexus 6  General] w4itg:
I got mine from t-mobile I hope I get VOLTE because I really miss my web and phone at the same time.
[Nexus 6  General] techguy378:
Google no longer allows carriers to preinstall their own apps on Nexus phones. Lollipop has a new feature that checks to see which carrier's sim card is in the phone. Then it downloads the so-called bloatware to the phone during initial setup just like Nokia's carrier branded Windows Phones do. I am curious though. Google previously said that Nexus 6 phones bought from the Google Play store would work on any of the big four USA carriers. Is this still true? Can I take an unlocked Sprint Nexus 6 phone (if unlocking is even required) and pop in a Verizon sim card?
[Nexus 6  General] RayEdmondson:
One note of interest no one has mentioned. I read that it will be 5.1 out of the box. Could this possibly mean that we will see 5.1 before the March Verizon release date?
[Nexus 6  General] the_rooter:
Thats incorrect google is allowing carriers to install apps but need to be able to be removed. Check the att thread out.

If u buy a carrier branded device like the nexus 6 from att unless that is paid off the phone is sim locked. Also depends on if the devices are sim locked. As of right now i know that the att is sim locked till the device is paid out of contract or bought paid in full. then u can request a key. All nexus 6 OS firmware are the same. Its a universal software. Just added bloat per company will be added for updates.

Edit: Also google even stated that now updates wont come as fast for carrier devices pending partners.

---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 PM ----------

I honestly dont think it will be released out of the box. I think the phones will come with 5.0 and then you can update to 5.1. Also there is rumors verizon may not allow these devices on edge.
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
Source of this rumor? I'm not aware of any device they carry that isn't available on Edge. Not sure why this would be any exception.
[Nexus 6  General] the_rooter:
its all he said she said on xda. Check in this thread or a few other verizon threads for the nexus. Some think verizon wont and some say verizon will. We actually wont know till the 12th.

Edit: I had a few verizon reps straight out tell me they look down at the rooting/flashing community because they claim it hurts their network. Thats why tmobile is so popular. If they do not allow nexus 6 on edge that would force customers to either pay full or sign a contract. I am not saying its true or not. Just from observation on here.
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
LOL randoms on XDA are hardly a reliable source of info. There's been everything from "Verizon will never get the device" to "Verizon will lock it down, put 50 logos on it, and rename it something else". It's people guessing, making things up, and hating on Verizon because that's the cool thing to do.
[Nexus 6  General] the_rooter:
There is still a big chance and possibility since verizon looks down to the community here that they could do that. Verizon doesnt like google. They like samsung and apple. They careless about everything else and what the customers want. Makes you think that how come verizon allows the use of developer devices on their network for limited phones. Mostly samsung. Verizon is always out to make more money. I again am not saying they will not allow it on edge, but it still can be a possibility coming from the fact that its unlockable and cant be altered too much by them.

Edit: Also never stated they were reliable. Just stating from how verizon is and what people think. Anything can be possible with how verizon will take this phone.
[Nexus 6  General] techguy378:
Google has never made such a comment publicly regarding carrier bloatware and software updates. There's nothing to prevent someone from flashing a factory image designed for Google Play store devices to a Verizon Nexus 6 either, for example. They have, however, stated that Nexus 6 phones always come with no bloatware installed. The bloatware is downloaded during initial setup depending on which carrier's sim card is installed. The main question I have though is if I buy a Nexus 6 from the Google Play store can I pop in a Verizon sim card and have it work on Verizon's network?
[Nexus 6  General] RW-1:
Hurts their network? doubt that, because they allow dev editions to function on said network.

If it truly hurt, then none of them would be allowed, it's a $$$ thing.
[Nexus 6  General] the_rooter:
Yes I am using it right now. bought mine from motorola. Also google did publicly comment about updates.

Exactly thats all it is. Its money. If they can force a user to be on a 2 year contract or buy a device out right. They won. I root every device i get and flash if possible and verizon store in my town knows this. They bring up the thought that i am out to hurt their network. i just laugh it off.
[Verizon LG G3] WorldOfJohnboy:
My apologies for this question if it's already been asked/answered, but I couldn't seem to find it in the forums via search.

I have dealt with Samsung and HTC devices in the past, so my LG "knowledge" is a bit limited...

My wife has a Verizon G3. I was able to achieve Root and Bumped TWRP on it. I forget (offhand) what version OS her phone is currently at, though I believe it's in the 12 range. (I will get this tonight). She's not one for liking custom ROMs, but I wanted the option just in case.

Now that there is the Lollipop "official" OTA out there in some way/shape/form, is there a specific thread that I can go to in order to get her updated to Lollipop "official?" If I'm reading/thinking correctly, I would have to either get rid of TWRP and go back to stock Recovery (somehow), then flash the OTA and re-Bump if so desired, OR wait for someone to take the official Lollipop and Bump it. Is that correct? Also, is the official OTA called VS98523A ?
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
Its too early to try and put l on. There has not been a widespread push yet, and we don't have enough of the files to make a way to carry root.
[Verizon LG G3] WorldOfJohnboy:
OK, so that essentially makes it so that I can't do either option and still maintain (minimally) root?
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
Correct. Also, since you are bumped, if/when it comes as an OTA, you will not be able to apply it. TWRP cannot apply official OTAs. You would have to either revert back to full stock (10b) or get the original recovery images and flash them back to get rid of TWRP. I don't know how to do the latter. I do know how to go back via the TOT or KDZ method. TOT is the way to go though because the 10b KDZ image is not an official release of the 10b version for the G3, so it cannot take OTAs.
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
No root, no how, right now.

Hi all, not sure where I should post this so I am going here for a safe bet.

Basically, a lot of the time when I plug my earphones (MDR-NC31E) I get a pop up from the android system notifying me that DSP Manager has crashed. I am unsure of what is causing this problem. I have taken a logcat and the only thing I can see is there is apparently a 'missing' file, however it is there (with the permissions RW-------). It is also happening on my primary ROM (check my device setup for details).

The last thing I did before this problem came about was undervolt, I can't see that causing any problems however. I'll attach my logcat to the post too.

Device Setup:

D6503

AndroPlus Kernel (unsure of version)

MultiROM TWRP installed onto the FOTA Kernel partition

MultiROM installed

Existenz 4.5.0 as Primary ROM

Infected's CM12 as Secondary ROM
