So GPS and the mobile connection must be running all the time in order to make use of the "smart settings"?

Unnecessary power consumption, not very smart!

[Moto X Q&A] d0g:
I'm trying to install the latest TWRP via the TWRP Manager app, and it's asking to verify the partition or risk bricking the phone.

It's suggesting

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

Is this correct? Or do I need to do this through fastboot?

Currently on 2.7.1.1
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
Hi

i purchased p7 while ago and then while i search in the internet i find that there is many models of p7 and mine was p7-l11 and it's australian model but i'm not from australia

so this model seems that it doesn't receive any updates and it's still on EMUI 2.3 and probably will not get lolipop update also

is there a way to make it like global model (p7-l10 ) by install another ROM or something ? so it can receive the updates normally

thanks and sorry for my english.
[Huawei Ascend P7] tinyXperia:
You can flash the latest version manually, but I can't guarantee that you won't damage your device.

I think not much can go wrong as long as you don't change the kernel and have a backup of your current build (use CWM recovery > backup).

[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
thanks for replay

but are you sure if i follow the steps correct it will work without any damage ?

because the phone is new and i dont' want lose it very fast
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
Probably only the CUST partition is different, but alas, there is no information whatsoever. If I'm not mistaken the Asian versions have the same hardware, so the number after the L should only mean that it's for another region, and that's all. There are a few ROMs made for the L01 here on the forum, and they are working on the L10, and vica versa. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't create hardware malfunction, so even if the software is buggy on the other variant if you have a backup, you can always flash the original.
[Huawei Ascend P7] Araca:
First i would check if you have an unlocked bootloader .

When not unlock it by rooting with root genius.

The Kernel is for all models the same .

The different is the system , modem and cust partition.

So when you have one sim slot and one micro SD slot you can try it with the L-10 Software when you have dual-sim you have to try the China devices Software (L-5/7/9/0)

But i would recommend to flash a full update and not only the system partition

But flashing these Software from one on the other should not damege the device ..

But when you do this this youre deal, so don't blame me if something goes wrong...
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
i don't know if the bootloader unlocked or not , How could i know ?

i have one sim slot and one micro SD slot so it will be same as L-10 , so do i just follow the steps like in this link : http://xdaforums.com/ascend-p7/general/cwm-flashable-b609-p7-l10-complete-t3004343 ?

or should i do something before it ?
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
If think your best bet is to ipdate with the three button method with the original bootloader and recovery. Download the full B609 ROM from here (click on Letöltés), put it in /sdcard0/dload (or on the SD card, doesn't matter), and update either through the system menu or by holding down all three buttons when booting. In case anything goes wrong (which it shouldn't), you can use the same method with the L11's ROM to downgrade.
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
Thanks for reply

is that easy ? so i don't have to change anything like in the link ?

also i don't have L11's ROM and i didn't find it so is the backup will be enough if something wrong happen ?
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
Updating to the official ROMs is easy since there is a force update option. In your case it will still work and most likely will not cause any harm.

But now that I think of it, if you want to make a backup, you're out of luck. Well, mostly.

If you'd like to create a backup, you'd have to

unlock bootloader / flash an unlocked bootloader

flash recovery

backup your current ROM

All of the above can be done but you cannot flash a B609 ROM on top of a B133 base - you'd have to update with the recovery and bootloader you just lost to make a backup. If you don't have the original ROM's files, you cannot go back if anything goes wrong.

To sum it up:

you can easily update

you (probably) cannot make a backup

Decide for yourself it it's worth the minimal risk.
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
mmm i don't know why i'm not comfortable with this ):

so you say that if i flash the ROM like in the link it will not make any difference and i will still lose my phone of something wrong happen ?
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
Well, since the L11's number seems to come from only being sold in Australia, and no hardware differences, the update should go without a hitch. But we can never know since nobody reported anything about it.

Now, just to be clear - L10 users have flashed L01 custom ROMs, and there seems to be no problems apart from the ROMs' bugs.

My opinion is that there will be no problems, but I am no expert as I have never heard of the L11 variant.
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
Ok i think i will wait for a while and see what to do

Thanks for your assistance
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
Hello (:

could you see this link please : http://xdaforums.com/ascend-p7/general/emui-3-0-b609-errors-vodafone-cust-p7-t3060527

it seems that he has the same problem but different country

he changes the CUST and then flash full version ROM

Do you think it is better if i do the same ?
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
Ah, didn't think about the CUST partition - but yes, this is probably the only difference between the submodels. I you want to make sure you can return, see if your L11 has an update.app for the CUST partition. I remember distantly flashing these when upgrading to B602 (the beta of 4.4) and now when updating to the Lollipo beta.
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
i'm not sure about update.app for the CUST but i find something maybe help

see this link the second file : http://asanfile.com/file?path=huawei/flash file/p series/p7-l11/android 4.4.2/

it has the same build number and same custom version of mine and it's from the same company (Optus) so it seems like it's the same ROM on my phone !

do you think it will help if something wrong happened and i can return with this ROM ?
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
Yes, the second one seems to me like a complete package. Don't know how to unpack the update.app, so we can't be sure. There is a thread though with an almighty CUST partition, that might help you - also, if you change the CUST, you can surely flash the ROM that' bund to your new CUST - so I think if you flash the international CUST with the international 4.4 ROM, then you can go back to the international B133 if aníthing goes wrong. Make sure you make a note of everything in your system information menu before doing anything.
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
when you click at the file it shows that there is update.app so i think that what you mean

so does the files in this link good : http://xdaforums.com/ascend-p7/general/emui-3-0-b609-errors-vodafone-cust-p7-t3060527

or use another ?

and one last thing , in the link he put file to update to B133 before upgrade , should i use it or not ?
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
Yes, you should first update to B133. Don't really know if it is necessary, mind you - but since that's the way he did it, I wouldn't wander off a beaten path ;) The second step he makes is the update.app that modifies the CUST partition. If you flash that, I bet you can always roll back to B133 in the same thread.
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
when i look to the build number it show : L11V100R001C00B133SP04

so it seems that i already have B133 ?!

and also link of B133 in the thread doesn't work anymore so i think i will just change the CUST and flash the ROM
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
Good luck :)
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
Thanks , but i remeber something - i think i will never upgrade :o -

the first guy say that i want to unlock the bootloader so i'm afraid that will be a problem if mine was locked ?

also if i change the CUST and then something wrong happened how can i return to my original ROM with another CUST ?
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
This thread explains how CUST works and how you can save it. It seems that the recovery can save it, but to be sure you should ask the OP of the thread.

As for bootloader unlocking, I found this. It is a simple update.app that unlock your bootloader, then you are good to go I think.

The steps for you would probably be:

unlock bootloader

flash TWRP

make a backup

flash original recovery

update to B133

update to B609

If it goes wrong you can flash TWRP in fastboot mode and then use the backup you did. Also the all cust partition might handle the differences between your current and the international cust, but then again, you should ask the OP of the cust thread.
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
but this thread about bootloader is for p7-l10 and it's need to flash a ROM to unlock so if there is a problem with flash B609 it will be the same here !!

do you have a link for thread that explain how to flash p7-l10 for example on chinese version or something ? i think it will help more because it's mostly the same

if you have put it please (:
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
The thread below explains that the only change from L10 to L10 is the CUST partition. You can probably use the update.app to unlock on L11 - if not, it will simply not work. If it works then you can use fastboot to flash the recovery - it's the same on the chinese version, so it should be the same here. Though the chinese version may have dual sim, so yours should be phisically identical to the L10.
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
so if i must unlock the bootloader what do you think if i follow the thread of the first guy ? : http://xdaforums.com/ascend-p7/general/cwm-flashable-b609-p7-l10-complete-t3004343

it seems easier than this

but what do you think is better if i flash B133 first or dirctly upgrade to B609 ?

also i found this thread about P7-L12 change to P7-L10 : http://xdaforums.com/ascend-p7/general/p7-l12-emui-3-0-t2999605

what do you think ?
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
The bootloader unlock is specific to version - you have to use the one for your device. You cannot unlock the same way as you could unlock B609 or even B133.

As for flashing B133 inbetween - I had gradually upgraded, and that works. If you have the full package for B609, you might be able ro upgrade directly. The CWM flashable B609 might do the trick.
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
aha ok

but as you see people change to p7-l10 is it necessrey to unlock bootloader ?

i wish if i can do it without unlock or root just change the ROM and get the official updates
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
Well, you can try. It will just fail updating if you cannot update with the update.app. What might be a problem here is that the cust partition is different. If you can somehow flash the cust partition without bootloader unlock (or root), but I doubt it.
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
Hi

i almost change to p7-L10 but i'm stuck in test version :(

i talk to the OP of this thread : http://xdaforums.com/ascend-p7/general/cwm-flashable-b609-p7-l10-complete-t3004343

in direct messages

he give steps i unlocked bootloader and flash the exracted B136 ROM by fastboot method

after that he said put the update.app into SD card and use local update

but now every time i try to install it say : update_post_proccess FAIL , i use local update and also three button method and both FAIL :(

do you have any ideas to solve this problem now evertime i start the phone it says it is : internal test version ??
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
Probably it is really an internal test version... What version are you on now? I thing B133 is what you need before B609.
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
i'm on B136 because he said it is the best EMUI 2.3 ROM fo P7

he answered me now and say if i upgrade to B609 it will work

i will try and see
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
it's strange !!

the phone upgrade to B609 but it's still test version ! also it shows FAIL but i don't know how it updated ??!

what do you think about that ? maybe the problem is the CUST because when i go to the about phone there is no custom version appear

if i flash CUST for B609 will work ?
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
If you updated to B609 but the CUST is different then yes, it is most likely the cause of problems. Flash the CUST for B609 international and see if it helps.

If you are still on B136 then I guess you could flash to B133 with the international ROM and its CUST, and then update from there.
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
well i'm now on B609 but i couldn't find the CUST for that if you have link to it put please

the guy who give me method said that i have to go to system folder and make change on build.prop file i cannot find it i think i have to root my device and it doesn't work with iRoot now
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
Root on B609 is very easy - boot into fastboot and flash a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM, but check if it's OK for EMUI 3.0 first!). When you have that, download the latest SuperSU, and flash it in recovery. Done :)
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
but flash a custom recovery will make problem if i want to update later and i have to be on stock recovery or what do you think ?
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
You can always flash the stock recovery back anytime you want. It will not affect root - if you root now with TWRP or CWM and flash the stock one back, you'll still be rooted.
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
aha ok is this CWM in this link will be good ? : http://xdaforums.com/ascend-p7/general/cwm-flashable-b609-p7-l10-complete-t3004343
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
Yes, looks to be absolutely perfect :)
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
it works the phone is rooted now but i cannot make change in build.prop it says it's read only

i use root explorer also tried root browser
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
You may have to remiount the partition as read/write.
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
how can i do it ?
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
Try this.
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
i try it and also try another one but it doesn't work

well i think this method will just hide the info of test version but it doesn't really solve the problem

also cust version display is set = true , but it doesn't display in about phone

what do you think if i flash the CUST in this thread : http://xdaforums.com/ascend-p7/general/emui-3-0-b609-errors-vodafone-cust-p7-t3060527
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
I'd rather try this. The second link points to a CWM/TWRP flashable .zip. If that does not work as expected, try what you linked.
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
but is this for B609 ?
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
This post confirms that it can be used with EMUI 3.0. Se7en ROM 3.1 was based on B602 if I remember correctly (but definitely B6xx).
[Huawei Ascend P7] andromodgod:
thats universal .... also dont forget to remove set.immutable.list
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
thank you guys i will try it
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
well is flash this CUST but nothing is change also i couldn't remove set.immutable because busybox not sucssesful installing

i try again force flash of B609 ROM but nothing is change :(

i don't know now should i roll back to B133 ant start for begin change the cust like this link

Or instal flashable B609 with CWM like this

Or just go and update to lolipop

what i notice in this version that motion control doesn't display also i couldn't cuostmize keyboards i don't it's this in EMUI 3.00 or it's also another ERROR
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
Try flashing the original recovery then a full wipe. That should make motion control available and may also solve the other problems.

If not, I guess you should wait a little for the final Lollipop upgrade (they say it'll come today, but who knows). The beta upgrade is buggy for some people, although I have no problems with it, only the YouTube bug.
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
i mean about internal test version is it ok to be like that ? many problems and also i couldn't get OTA updates and i guess also if i update it to lollipop it will still test version
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
This is a CUST problem. Does this thread help? Can you flash the update app linked in post #8? If not, you should probably try manually editing the build.prop when the phone is fully rooted (set_immutable.list must be deleted).

Also, you should delete your other thread - it will probably upset the admins and having information in two different places is generally not a good idea.
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
yeah i tried flash this file before but it doesn't work i think because it's for B133

if i could have the same file for B609 i think it will work

i cannot delete set_immutable.list because busybox failed every time i try to install it

i think the final solution is to get back to B133 and start again but i hope if i can find another solution because i have limit internet download and i use most of it by download the previous ROMs
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
Have you tried installing BusyBox manually? You could try this, it should be the same for all devices.
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
well i use flashable busybox by CWM and it worked and i managed to remove set_immutable.list and edit build.prop

But when i reboot my phone set_immutable.list is back again also build.prop return like what it's used to be :(

i think this way will not work after all , i need a way to flash official and stock ROM to solve all the problems completly like huawie cust fail in every time i traid to update ROM and motion control ... etc

and by the way i couldn't delete the other thread
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
Removing set_immutable.list does not give you full root, you also have to remove its sticky bit. Happened to me when I first tried - everything was all right until reboot. What set_immutable does is it has a list of files that cannot be changed and has to be restored upon reboot.

You could try again, making sure that you remove the attribute, or try this tool (it is very useful!). If it does not work somehow, you can try flashing the CWM backup - if you want official ROM then you just have to flash the stock recovery for that. (I did that to update to the Lollipop beta, although it was not that easy.)

We're pretty close now :)
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
you know i couldn't flash any FULL ROM with a regular way because at the end of any update it's FAIL even if the ROM installed but it's still doesn't install properly and completely

so i think i have to solve a problems i have before i could flash official ROM or must be a way to flash ROM without FAIL at the end and huawei cust fail
[Huawei Ascend P7] g4b3rm4n:
You can flash CWM backups and by flashing one that has set_immutable.list removed you could edit the CUST properties in build.props. Well, in theory at least :)
[Huawei Ascend P7] omjo:
well i think i'm done with this :o

after all it works now and i have p7-l10 and i managed to solve a problem of motion control and now i will wait stable ROM of lollipop to update

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaleGriggs:
I live in a fringe area of Verizon' in Phoenix . I have always had Motorola phones except for a Samsung Note 3. I never had dropped calls until I bought the Samsung phone and then Version checked my reception and said I had 7% dropped calls and they were not going to improve their service. I appeared my only option was to move to the east side of Phoenix which has great reception.

I bought the Nexus 6 in February and I haven't had any dropped calls since then. I was told Motorola had great radios and now I believe it.

My question is does any other manufacturer have a great reputation for superior radios? Unless I move I will never buy another Samsung phone but are there other phones I should consider to get good reception?

Version told me to buy the net extender which was a waste of money.

Any suggestions?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mademan420:
HTC in recent years have been pretty good in the radio area, but still doesnt come close to Moto IMHO
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desiregeek:
Motorola is quite well known for good radios for smartphones. HTC made horrible ones in the past and then made some good ones until Nokia got all over their backs for copyrights infringement. Samsung is the worst I have seen when it comes to cell phone signal reception and wifi reception. They mage good screens,good Flash memory and recently cameras but that is pretty much it. My cell phone reception and wifi reception on my new Galaxy S6 is pretty much horrible.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JRJ442:
My last phone was an LG. The reception on it was pretty horrible. I have a VZW tower I can see from my front porch. I would constantly not receive text messages and drop calls on the G2. I've had Samsung phones in the past, they've been hit or miss it seems. This is my 3rd Motorola made phone, and the reception is amazing on it. My personal opinion is you're not going to find a phone manufacturer on VZW with better radios. Fringe areas are the absolute worst by the way. I was on one until about a year and a half ago when they jumped on this tower.
