Yes, it's a sad thing. This problem doesn't seem to be there in the Chinese versions. My MT7-TL10 is International Channel version and the bootloader is locked even though the Fastboot screen shows that it is unlocked and the command 'fastboot oem get-bootinfo' returns 'unlocked'. However, when I run the command 'fastboot oem get-lockstate', it returns 'locked'. Consequently, I am neither able to root the phone nor able to install custom Recovery.

When I had rolled back to Chinese Jazz version of KitKat, I was able to install custom recovery and also root the phone.

So, perhaps, if you change the device location to China, it may work but it is a long shot and you may lose all your device data. If you try this, please make sure that you take a full back up.

I have switched back to my ZenFone 2 and kept the Mate 7 aside. I miss the long battery life on MT7 but I have root, custom recovery and Xposed on my ZenFone 2.

I am eagerly waiting for the Marshmallow update to check if that would solve the issue. If that doesn't address it, then the only solution is to dispose the phone off.

Hi,

I've tryied a lot of times get the unlock code, but I always get the message below

"Please fill in the correct identification code; please check the product type is entered correctly, if it is more IMEI / MEID phone, use a different IMEI or MEID retry"

I've also send an e-mail to mobile@huawei.com, as I've saw in one post, but they haven't send me the code..

How can I get the code or how can I root my mobile...

Thanks.

If you will flash a factory image you will loose all the data on the phone. Backup the data on a PC or wherever you want and then flash.

You will loose your root too.

It is better using Nexus Root Toolkit. Easy and fast. No hassle.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ariesgodofwar:
Being that you are on 4.2.2, you are going to need to flash more than just the system.img file. I know there was a change to the radio, and am rather sure there was a change to the bootloader.img as well (not certain). So yes, while you can flash the images directly, you will need to flash bootloader.img, boot.img, radio.img, and system.img at minimum, or, you can just flash the 4.2.2 system.img file from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and then just keep using the OTA updates to move up to the latest LMY48I release. Once you get there, you can then just re-root and install a custom recovery at the same time.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan Again:
So, I actually followed the steps in your original response (just flashing boot.img and system.img) and that seemed to work great. I'm now running 5.1. I had a little trouble getting TWRP to stick. I kept flashing it, rebooting to system and rebooting to recovery...only to find stock recovery. The trick was to flash TWRP, boot *directly* into recovery (TWRP now), flash SuperSU. I think I'm all set...much thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan Again:
Okay, so I am noticing some rather odd behavior:

* I can access quick settings once after reboot, then I cannot access it

* when I set the lock screen setting to "Swipe" I still have no lock screen

* the home button doesn't seem to work

Any idea how I might resolve issues like this? I've tried wiping the cache.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan Again:
Ended up doing a factory reset. It resolved all the issues I describe above.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ariesgodofwar:
Cool, yeah, I figured it would work, but you are operating with the old 4.2.2 radio. There is no reason why it would not work, however, usually the new radio versions incorporate fixes, so you might think about flashing those images. (or take the, if it ain't broke, don't fix it approach)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan Again:
Yep, definitely a taking a, "if it's not broke, don't fix it approach" :) Just out of curiosity, though, what do you mean when you say "radio"? The radio for the wireless signal? As I said in the original post, this is now a WiFi only device. Not sure if you're talking about the WiFi radio, but it seems to be working great.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ariesgodofwar:
I am referring to the radio.img file, which hosts the Baseband for the phone, it affects Wifi and Cellular/SMS/MMS processes. Usually, changes are more to the mobile side than the Wifi side however, but Wifi side fixes sometimes address disconnects from the AP, etc. If Wifi is working well for you, then no need to mess with it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] azitello:
Please forgive me if there is a simple answer somewhere close by. I've been working 15 hour days, checking for answers in spare time, and now with a big headache, about to head to work again, I need help because I'm going on a trip in 48 hours and my phone is essentially just good for calls and texts.

Leading to my problem:

I had rooted my phone maybe in December, 2014 with Odin 3.9 or something and had restore/backup in place by installing and setting a backup state in TWRP (never had used this before). Everything is going well, I think I'm on rooted 4.4.4? maybe it was just 4.4.2 or something. I can't remember. About 2 weeks ago, maybe less, an OTA update got pushed to my S4... How? I thought I had that disabled, but oh well. After it updated and restarted, I lost root. I also lost connection to Google servers. Error: Cannot establish connection to Google servers... or similar. I can't edit my 'hosts' file because I'm not rooted any longer. I can't use TWRP, because it's no longer there... This morning, I just booted into recovery mode and wiped all data back to factory. I was going to start from scratch, but when I go to sign into my Google account, I still can't access Google servers, with the same error message.

What I'd like:

I'd like to just be able to start all over from a stock version and just root it again. My biggest obstacle is the OTA update royally messed up my root and the not being able to connect to Google servers means I can't use Play Store, YouTube, my Gmail, Google Now, etc.... pretty important stuff to have for the trip I'm going on.

I forgot to mention that after the factory reset, I'm on 4.4.4 it says. I don't care about losing everything and starting over.

Thank you in advance!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jelbo:
I recently made the jump to 5.1.1 (XXU2BOGG) to be able to use the new Camera2 API and play around with RAW files (.dng’s here).

Thing is, when I shoot pics with a Camera2-enabled app (Camera FV-5 or Snap Camera HDR (which can even toggle API modes), the JPG’s it makes (besides the DNG’s) are unsharp. It’s very visible compared to when you shoot the same thing with a non-Camera2 API camera app. I wonder if it’s the same for others.

Here’s how you can check.

Shoot a pic with a Camera2 API enabled app such as Camera FV-5, with RAW/DNG support enabled.

Shoot a pic with a non-Camera2 API enabled app, such as Google Camera.

Compare the resulting JPG files (not the .dng)

For me, the latter is way sharper.

My theories of the cause:

Bad Camera2 API implementation by Samsung.

XXU2BOGG firmware is in XtreStoLite ROM (2.2.1 RC3), that makes my S6 say it's an S6 Edge. Maybe a driver issue. It's properly recognised as an SM-G920F, so I guess this is not a possible issue.

Complication of 5.0.2 ENG bootloader with 5.1.1 ROM. It's caused the fingerprint sensor to be broken, maybe it also breaks camera stuff.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
It's normal but I know some guys have been asked why in that S6 Camera thread in the general section. I've played around with Snap and FV5 after up to 5.1.1 too. When you enabled API2, their JPG/PNG output will set the sharpen level to zero and indeed it is the original quality from your tiny sensor(we finally know how crap of 1/2.6" without post-processing).

I use Photoshop CS6 plus Adobe DNG Converter 9.1(I think Lightroom plus Adobe DNG Converter 9.1 does the same thing), they can read out the S6 RAW correctly though S6 isn't on the supported device list. After I turned the Sharpening amount to around 100 and denoise set to like 30, the photo quality is very similar to stock S6 camera now with good sharpness and no noise.

The stock camera(or other 3rd apps) default does a heavy job on sharp/denoise but if you ask for API2 and decided to shoot RAW, it's your turn now to do the adjustment by yourself.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jelbo:
This makes sense, thank you, very good reply. So that basically means you have to choose between RAW and JPG, because the JPG won't be processed properly and thus be worse than the non-Camera2 API JPG.

Do you also see constant over-exposure 'flashes' when the light meter does it's thing? It happens with Snap Camera HDR and Open Camera (free Camera2 API app (that doesn't save photos when in that mode here)) as well.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
Yes, I'm sure snap/fv5 will ignore the JPG/PNG sharpen filter when you take RAW and it is very weird. Indeed, we should report it to the developer, I think it is a bug. Because of that you have to choose between RAW and JPG/PNG now, not the combination of both.

I didn't test to disable API2 in snap/fv5 because if I don't shoot RAW, I will just use the stock camera. Just import the RAW in CS6/LR + DNG converter, set the sharpen amount to 80 ~ 110 and denosie 30 ~ 60, the result is pretty much same with stock camera now. So, no worry your API2 is normal.

Can you explain it a bit more about over-exposure flashes?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jelbo:
I'll explain the over-exposure later, but here are some samples I just worked on that illustrate your first point. All pics are untouched, losslessly saved crops and zoomed to 200%.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
Yes, RAW isn't easy to deal with, every photo does need different set of parameters and very time consuming to find out best values. In some manner, RAW is only for real photo taker and professional. Stock camera or google camera on the other hands they do a smart job to optimize all photo automatically.

In your example, I don't see it over-exposure. It is just how the stock/google cam tweaked that for you. You can tune the exposure or any color in the DNG converter to achieve the same result but again it is a time wasting work.

And I would like to mention the DNG convertor default set at 25 sharpen(default 0 denoise) so it actually got some kinds of processing, so the ^Camera FV-5 .DNG is much sharper than ^Camera FV-5 .JPG. It looks like you are total new to RAW, I beat you understand how hard of it and time to lesson. Welcome to the Hell. lol
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jelbo:
Exactly. I'll contact their support again (but so far they haven't responded to previous e-mails). Made a post on Snap's Google+ page and updated my post in the Snap Camera HDR topic too (because Snap's JPG next to a DNG is the same unprocessed, fuzzy one).

Just tested FV-5 with DNG capture set to Disabled, but the JPG's are still unprocessed (fuzzy).

Yeah, I'm convinced of the same now. It's just the Camera2 API apps doing a bad job. Maybe because of API limitations, or its a Samsung issue, who knows.

Yeah. FV-5 doesn't have it, but Snap Camera HDR and Open Camera have it when using Camera2 API mode. In Auto Focus mode, all is well. But as soon as I manually focus by touching on the screen, you see it overexposing a few seconds after the focus was grabbed (Snap Camera HDR) or on the exact moment of manually focusing by touching (Open Camera). The photo taken is not overexposed.

Curious about three things:

1) is this S6 specific?

2) is this a XXU2BOGG bug? /edit: could be, but it's the same on XXU2COH2.

3) what would Manual Camera do? (Tempted to spend yet another few dollars to test that one out) /edit: bought and refunded: it doesn't 'see' the Camera2 API and it won't shoot in 16:9, just 4:3. o_o

And I would like to mention the DNG convertor default set at 25 sharpen(default 0 denoise) so it actually got some kinds of processing, so the ^Camera FV-5 .DNG is much sharper than ^Camera FV-5 .JPG. It looks like you are total new to RAW, I beat you understand how hard of it and time to lesson. Welcome to the Hell. lol[/QUOTE]

I'm not new to RAW, I shoot RAW on my dSLR (Nikon had .NEF's) and I love getting the most out of my photos. It can be very complex yeah, and I agree that every photo ideally needs his own post processing settings.

Nice that you know quite a bit about it as well and have done tests. Let's hope we'll find the ultimate culprit and things will be fixed.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
In FV5 you can't real disable API2(I can't find the option) but just tested to disable API2 in SnapCamera and after that the JPG sharpness comes back. Yup, it will over exposure a sec when you touch the manual focus bcoz it will bump up the iso to real high(you can notice the real-time iso info getting high) but it is just a minor bug.

It is interesting to see what will happen on Note5/S6e+, they comes with the ability to shoot RAW+JPG in stock camera.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jelbo:
Yeah, but as I got more or less the same in Open Camera, to me it feels like it's not app related but driver/device's API implementation.

There's a Note5 ROM port in the Android Dev subforum ;)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:

Camera2 api app's always freeze

Hello, I had not seen any complaint at all, so i really wonder if no one cares or it really only happens on my phone. The problem is no matter which app I use, the screen always freezes on the s6 after taking about 8 to 9 raw pictures in a row. Does anyone experience it as well? Thanks.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheldor1967:
I have had similar issues. Raw images are big. I think it's bogging down while writing to the SD card. Probably, it's the reason Samsung hasn't integrated raw into the stock camera.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fay99:
Ok... So it's not just me... Thank you for confirming.

I know the note 5 can handle the raw pictures well. Even the LG G4 has much slower internal storage. I do not own a G4 but I'm assuming the G4's stock camera is handling it well too. I believe it's bad implementation by Samsung, as it happens to all camera apps. And it's always the 9th raw picture screwing it. If Samsung is not trying to make this raw feature exclusive on the note 5, I'm sure they know how to make it work flawlessly on the s6 but they just don't want to.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheldor1967:
In fairness, it really is a niche feature. Probably an extremely small percentage of S6 owners even know what raw is and an even smaller percentage would ever really use it. They probably figured they were fine not prepping for it. Now the external sd card and removal battery...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fay99:
True it's a niche feature. But I would think that smaller percentage of s6 users who want to shoot raw is actually more people than the total number of note 5, edge+ and G4 users who can currently shoot stable raw. Given that the hardware of the s6 and note 5 should be very similar. It should not really be a hard implementation from Samsung. I will probably go back to nexus when the next one is out and never return to Samsung again. :(
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheldor1967:
Well, I guess if ya feel that strongly about it, it's the thing to do! Personally, I have never used a camera on a phone that performed this well, so I have no need to mess with raw and don't miss it. I was curious mostly, but Raw files are a lot of work to edit, so I won't bother.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
Same here with Snap Camera or FV-5. Shooting passed 5 times may starting to have problem(need to kill the app to make it works again) while sometimes no problem up to 7 ~ 9 RAW. Not sure bad API2 implementation or 3rd apps not working good. Wish Samsung gives us stock RAW later or someone port it from Note5/S6e+.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Illutorium:
