[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mojster666:
I decided to install a new rom. Do you have a link to the B607?

I have to say that I couldn't install any rom in the past.

Facts and Problems:

-Hisuite and drivers working normally, also USB connection

-adb devices: device appears normal

-adb reboot bootloader: phone goes into fastboot mode, but the connection via USB does not work anymore (I have to reboot the phone)

-fastboot devices: devices does not appear

-adb reboot recovery: the phone goes into recovery, but the connection via USB does not work anymore (I have to reboot the phone)

Obviously I'm doing something wrong. Can you help me?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Kostyan_nsk:
You don't need ADB to update firmware.

Here's a link to B607 (mirror).

But if you have an old Android 4.2.2 firmware, you should first update to 4.4.2 B208 (mirror).

Unpack archieve, copy folder to internal storage of your device. You should get /sdcard/dload/UPDATE.APP (folder name in lowercase, filename in uppercase, it's important).

Then go to Settings -> Update and choose there Local update.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mojster666:
Thanks for the links.

But i haven't "Local update" in Update menu. If i go to Settings -> Update, then i have "System updates" only.

Can I update via Hisuite or with "3-button method"?

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mojster666:
I've tried both methods, but without success. I have no idea what is wrong.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Kostyan_nsk:
Flash your current firmware version via 3 buttons method.

Notice that it will erase all your applications and data, so make backup first.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mojster666:
I've tried it. But the upgrade is dropped (sd_update_func fail - see the picture in the previous post).

I put your dload folder in the phone's internal memory, just as you described in the instructions. Should I do anything else? Do you have any idea why I don't have the possibility of "local update" on my phone?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Kostyan_nsk:
What's your current firmware version and what are you trying to flash?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mojster666:
My current firmware is B128 (P6S-U06V100R001C17B128) with android 4.2.2 and EMUI 2.0

I want to flash B208 (4.4.2)., and then B607.

I downloaded the zip files from your link. Then I proceed according to your instructions as follows:

Unpack archieve, copy folder to internal storage of your device. You should get /sdcard/dload/UPDATE.APP

When upgrading a system obviously does not read, or can not find the "UPDATE.APP"
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mojster666:
Sorry for my ignorance. It seems that I don't understand basic concepts. By flashing the existing firmware I "run over" the same firmware?

Where can I find the current firmware? It's somewhere on the phone? What file?

Or I need to find this file somewhere on the web?

I am very grateful for that link, but this connection is very slow. The transfer is always interrupted after a few minutes. Exist there maybe any mirror?

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mojster666:
Once again, thank you for the link. I successfully upgraded to the B208. I got a lot of Chinese applications. Can I uninstall these apps without consequences? What is missing is most important application: Google Play.

With this upgrade I am not fixed any of the following problems:

-huge power consumption in the SIM2 slot (I should solve this issue with my operator)

- incoming calls - contact name does not appear (appear only telephone number - the number is stored in the phone book in international format +386 xx xxx xxx)

Has any sense to upgrade B607? Can I expect that problems will be solved by upgrading to a B607? What is the essential difference between the B208 and B607?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Kostyan_nsk:
The essential diffrence between B208 and B607 is EMUI 2.3 and 3.0 respectively.

- On B607 battery drain is less relatively B208 (but not in case of your problem).

- To solve issue with contact names you have to edit /cust/unicom/cn/prop/local.prop file: set ro.config.hwft_MatchNum=xx where xx is the number of digits in phone number which will be searched for a match from right to left (root access required).

To remove chinese apps you have to have root access also.

You can update to B607 and then install my repack of B607 with root, chinese apps removed and gapps. (TWRP & unlocked bootloader required).
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mojster666:
-Your link in the post #8: is it just update, or is it your repack of B607? Can I use this file and do the upgrade (3-button method)?

-Before upgrading from B128 to B208 I have root access. Is it possible that I have no longer root acces after upgrade? Namely, with app "Root Explorer" I find this file (/cust/unicom/cn/prop/local.prop file: set ro.config.hwft_MatchNum = xx), but I can’t change anything. How can I change this parameter / value?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mojster666:
The operator considers the replacement of SIM card. But power consumption is still the same - huge.

Have you any another idea how to solve the problem? Would it help if I do factory reset?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Kostyan_nsk:
There is no definite solution at this moment.

But I have an idea how to avoid GSMCellBroadcastHandler wakelock. I'll try to implement it within a month maybe, don't know when exactly.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mojster666:
This would be great, if you succeed.

While, I solved the problem with excessive battery consumption. I do not know if this is a permanent solution (or only temporary).

I have update to B607 (your link in post #8). And wakelock is magically gone.

Could you please write some instructions (or links) about TWRP and unlocked bootloader? How do I do this? The first step is likely to be the root? I've tried the Root Genius, but I failed. How do I get root access?

When the phone will have root access, then will I be able to change this? ---> /cust/unicom/cn/prop/local.prop file: set ro.config.hwft_MatchNum = xx

Where can I find your repack of B607 with root, chinese apps removed and gapps. (TWRP & unlocked bootloader required)?

Thank you for your previous help. I am really very grateful to you.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Kostyan_nsk:
First of all, you have to unlock bootloader.

Use this guide: http://xdaforums.com/ascend-p7/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-p7-l10-oem-t3062851

In step #5 type in "HUAWEI P6 S-U06" (without quotes).

Then install TWRP: http://xdaforums.com/ascend-p6/orig-development/recovery-t3061433

And install my repack of B607: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=572025&st=3080&view=findpost&p=38144996
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mojster666:
I managed to do all three steps. Thank you.

The phone reboot now without the Chinese sound. But some Chinese applications remaining on the phone. I will remove them manually. The web browser, that was in the basic line, is gone now (basic line has only three icons now - it's OK, more transparent). What browser do you recommend?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Kostyan_nsk:
I'm using Chrome. It's a matter of taste which browser to choose. :)
[HTC Droid DNA] tamlin42:
As it says in the subject, a string of events occurred while upgrading a CM nightly, and I somehow lost root in the process. I have TWRP installed, and tried downloading a superuser zip and installing it from recovery, but the app doesn't appear to have access to a su binary. Phone seems to be functioning fine, I'd just like to get my root back.

Mods, feel free to delete this post. Flashing a newer version of supersu fixed my problem.

Ok so I just bought the LG G3 AT&T version and it already have the OTA version of lollipop. Is it still possible to unlock the bootloader or am I locked out? Do I need to do a TOT back to old firmware or what? Thanks!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zurny:
You can root and install TWRP without downgrading.

Been away from the DNA scene since I got my LG G2 over a year ago and left the DNA for my wife with NuSenseOne Max based on 4.3 with Sense 5.5

Id like to clean it up a bit and in the process upgrade to a newer ROM for her. It needs to be stable and 99% bug free so I don't suffer the spousal wrath. To not confuse the heck out of her I should probably stick with a Sense based ROM but I'm a bit overwhelmed by the current offerings. 4.4 based or 5.0 and what ROMs are considered stable?

(mind you.. Not trying to start any best rom wars or whatever)

Ty!
[HTC Droid DNA] Uzephi:
For a Rom closest to stock with some extra goodies and bug free, go with nusense by santod. Be sure to upgrade the firmware to the latest and twrp to the recommended.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ryuja1:
I followed directions found online to unroot and restore the SIII to factory. Everything went fine I followed all the directions: downloaded the Stock ROM onto the phone along with Mobile Odin, Mobile Odin Flash Kernel and Triangle Away. Ran Triangle Away successfully then loaded the Stock Rom with Mobile Odin and even Flashed the Kernel without a hitch! Phone rebooted and I was presented with messages about the phone having to reboot to install updates, etc... I let it - the phone reboots and now ceases to turn on. Nothing works! I've tried pulling the battery, holding down the power button with and without the a battery, tried turning the device on while plugged in to wall - nothing!

I'm thinking maybe the main board got fried? If that's the case is all lost with this phone? I really do like this phone and would hate to lose it to such a dumb mistake especially when I was just trying to restore it to it's original state.

Any way to save this phone? Anyone else have had a similar problem and solution?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spark91:
Never stock flash a Full Official ROM with mobile Odin, youre bootloader got corrupted and you'll need a 16gb class 10 sdcard to repair it, search this forum for the debrick image.

Official Stock can only be done PC Odin and Kies.

Or 32gb if you have that model
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ChaoticDruid:
Hi, I have been running this version of WM6 for about a week and a half, and noticed the other day that my storage wasn't filling up as fast as normal, I have made some filesystem cache mods, and changed the system font, along with running PIEPlus, which I did also on XDA live 0.1, and it shouldn't effect this, but I am not getting any temp internet files, cookies, and history work fine, and I didn't move it to the storge card, everything works as normal.

It isn't a bad thing, Im just wondering if others using this rom are experiencing this also..it could have been built in?, or if something I did caused this.

I have read about a PIE cache tweak that makes it where you will have no cache, but it was always reset on reboot, unless you used a scripting tool, does anyone happen to know the reg key offhand so I can check?, it isn't listed on the wiki, and I know its here on the forum, but I think Im missing the right words on searching for it, it hasn't been talked about a whole lot..atleast in the hermes section.

Browsing works just like always, no slowdown, and I imagine some people would like to duplicate this, I just haven't a clue how.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eternith:
I just flashed the full 2.2.1 OTA from this thread, and noticed my remaining storage space is really limited.

Is this amount of 'System Data' normal or did something happen? I could have sworn I had a lot more free space before, but I could be mistaken and it was always like this.

I'm rooted and have CWM recovery if that means anything.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budies3:
I have an S5 G900V that was rooted to Lollipop. For a couple of days now, when you wake it up the screen sometimes would not work. I would have to turn the screen off for about 30 seconds then it was fine. Well, today I restarted it and now it just reboots. I have gone through odin, with a couple of firmware's for it. Really all I would like to do now, is clear the custom logo. Verizon is sending me a new one, so I dont care if it even works... Thank you for any help,
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapunzl:
Try elliwigy's Extreme Syndicate.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budies3:
That would be nice, but it just reboots so I don't have anyway of flashing besides odin.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapunzl:
If you can't get into safestrap, you may have to start over with the unrooted retail tar.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budies3:
I'm sorry to say, but Safestrap is not showing up for some reason..... It only brings up the default recovery. I tried to wipe it there as well, but it will just bootloop as well...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budies3:
There wouldn't be some way of shooting a file to it, that would render it useless? I don't want to send it back with the custom logo showing up:)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapunzl:
You flash the tar in Odin, not SS.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budies3:
Yes sir, tried that 4 times last night...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapunzl:
First, Rapunzl isn't a sir lol...

You're not giving any information. You said you tried to flash the retail tar in Odin... what happened?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budies3:
Sorry:) Yes Ma'am... And it flashed just fine, but still bootloop's.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapunzl:
And you flashed the AO8 kernel or firmware after installing the ROM? You have to flash NK2 kernel now to get into Safestrap and AO8 when you're done. SS isn't compatible with 5.0, so you always have to downgrade the kernel to use it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budies3:
Yes, I tried both of those kernal's with firmware.... Its odd how its acting like nothing it being flashed to it. My replacement phone should be delivered today, so I guess I will just shoot some juice to it. I was hoping to at least get it running and back to stock, maybe its just not ment to happen.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] MikeNE:
Hi guys -

My 8.4 has been driving me crazy for the past week. It is not rooted, running the stock Samsung image. The battery percentage seems to be wildly inaccurate. I've read through many of the battery threads here (most seem to deal with the inability to charge completely), but I have noticed some that seem to resemble my problem. The solution seems to be to pop the back off and replug the battery. I have not done that, and frankly, I don't think that's the issue here.

Symptoms: Battery appears to drain unevenly - will drop several 10's of % instantaneously during mixed use, and sometimes level off again. I haven't found any runaway processes. Bottom line, overall less then expected battery life followed by the system shutting down. HOWEVER, if I then reboot, it will boot up anywhere between about 5 and 30% remaining - and will continue to run. Sometimes it will drain quickly again, other times it will run for several more hours. Sometimes if I connect the charger after shutdown, it will immediately jump to 40% upon reboot.

Experiment: Drain battery smoothly after a full charge by looping a local video, and track battery percentage and voltage. When system automatically shuts down, reboot (it pops back to 30% or whatever) and continue. Keep rebooting and running until a reboot registers 0% and immediately shuts back down.

Result: Battery drains VERY evenly and consistently. It's only the android percentage that seems to be erratic and cause the system to shut down. I've attached a graph of what I see. The spikes represent points where I rebooted. Blue line = battery percentage (left axis), orange line = battery voltage in mV (right axis)

So given this, I'm having a hard time believing it's a battery connection issue. My uneducated guess is that unplugging the battery works for some because it forces android to recalibrate the battery meter. I've been unsuccessful in getting it to recal by charge/discharge cycles.

Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas on what I should do next? Is there a way to force a recal of the 0% point without rooting? As a side note, I find it odd that my Nexus 7 simply doesn't boot when it hits zero - just shows a battery symbol. Seems odd that the Samsung let's me constantly boot the thing.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!!

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Hi! I own a tab S and some users get this problem also on the tab pro. Its something with the battery connection to the device which causes the gauge to be all wonky. Usually problems like you described need to be replaced by Samsung. If you are under warranty, then they'll replace it for free of charge. Better to be extra safe! Hope this helps!
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] MikeNE:
Thanks...yeah, I saw all the comments about the battery connection. As I said in my post, I'm still struggling to believe that it's a connection issue when the battery voltage - reported through a battery widget - is very reliable and steady. It's only the percentage that's wrong. Sounds more like a software issue to me. If it was a connection issue, I'd think the battery voltage would be all over the place too.

Frankly, I'd rather not send it in if I can avoid it (no service centers local). I'd like to explore all possible other options first. Any other ideas on how to force a real recalibration?

Thanks,

Mike
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
When your device is fully charged, My guess is to turn your brightness up to the max and open an app that's like intense graphical games or Google earth. As long its stresses your CPU and GPU. That should make your battery drain really quick and cause random reboots because of the meter. Keep doing so till it reaches 0%. Then recharge. If that doesn't work then I don't know. I've done that many times after I flashed a custom ROM so it would calibrate. Doing that would draw all the power out hopefully
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] MikeNE:
Ok...I gave up. I've tried the drain thing multiple ways. I don't want to root the thing or install a custom ROM because I won't be able to use it on my company network. I called Samsung and set up a return. What really bothers me about this is that without an explanation, it's likely to just happen again -because again, I'm still convinced it's software related.

Thanks anyway,

Mike

Sorry to hear that. Please come back when your device is returned from RMA and tell us how it's doing...
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] MikeNE:
Will do Calvin - thanks. For the record, I tried one more thing before I boxed it up. I reflashed the firmware with Samsung Kies3. It all went smoothly, and I had high hopes....but shortly after logging in to start setting it up, the battery immediately dropped from 99 to 88....so no luck. I'll be shipping it out tomorrow. I'll post my findings when it returns.

Mike
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] MikeNE:
Well guys - I got my GTP back earlier this week. The actually fixed it in one day and shipped it right back to me. Unfortunately, there was no explanation or description of the repair on any of the paperwork or their website - so I have no idea what they did. Regardless, it appears to be functioning normally now. I fully charged it when I got it, and then ran it down to zero through random usage throughout 2 days...and when it hit zero and shut off, that was it. It wouldn't turn on again (which is what I would expect). I charged it back up, and it's working fine again. So far, so good.

Bottom line, I guess I had some kind of a battery problem, but it appears to be working now. As I said before, I just hate problems with no explanation - it means they are likely to happen again. I guess time will tell...

[General Topics] bluesky2111:
This is not a trolling topic. This came from a casual Z3 user.

I pre-ordered the Z3 on Sony store and got it. The phone was great, screen was pleasant to look at, no lags ever happened, but there were too many cons that took over the pros imo:

- The battery was not that great, I've installed GSAM App since day one, and now the average screen-on time is only 5 hours, maximum is 6h30m. I've tried resetting the phone via Pc Companion... no luck. I mainly use the phone for Facebook, Web browser, taking pictures, and music, no heavy games.

- I've dropped it several times due its f*cking slippery glass panels. So far there's no crack but the aluminum sides are slightly damaged.

- It's so uncomfortable to hold. Sony made premium phones for sure, but it's not practical... the Z3 is just a beautiful metal slab but not really a phone. In my opinion, the curved back is much much more comfortable to hold in hands.

- Wifi range is horrible. I've tried putting the Z3 next to the LG G3 and Moto G, the Z3 lost signal frequently, the other 2 were fine.

- Glass back panel = fingerprint magnet.

- Finally, the most disappointed feature - Camera. I don;t know what the heck Sony did to their Z3, but the camera is just average to me. Plus it does not focus well while recording videos, even with normal macro shots; Superior Auto sucks; too tiny flash; a lof of Noise; a lot of disappointments.

- Not to mention that it fails so badly on cosmetic look. Huge gaps; unsymmetrical panels; bulging nylon corners. They are not a big deal for me, but compared to other phones in terms of cosmetic build, Sony has to work harder.
