Ok, I was on b200 and wanted to try Android 6.0. I copied the update.app from b313 to a folder called dload at root of the sdcard. After using the 3-button method (vol+, vol- & power) to flash it, I too lost my IMEI and the baseband was unknown. For the last 3 days I've tried flashing everything from b110-b200 but to no avail. Today, I followed the recommendation of,

1. Flash b170 to the phone and reboot

2. Copy update.app from b300 to sdcard\dload, flash it then reboot phone. A bootscreen showing '4G' something or other briefly appeared followed by preparing Android apps.

3. Copy update.app from b170 to \dload again and flashed it over top (the 4G bootscreen went)

Voilà, IMEI and baseband are back. Mistake learned, now gonna use Partitions Backup and Restore to backup my IMEI and modem information.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sadiej:
Step 2, just checking, did you copy update.app of b300 to dload and then also flash the b300 files to the phone fastboot and then 3 button restart it?

If you say b300, do you mean the rollback?

Step 3 b700? where did you get that?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jhbaker:
More or less, but I believe I flashed update.app (b300, the rollback) only

Sorry, I meant b170.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sadiej:
So no fastboot's in step 2?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ogeva:
Been there already. I bought it as a tourist in Amsterdam in a T-mobile store.

The phone that appears for that store leads to a t-mobile service center, and they can't even load my details as I am not a subscriber :crying:
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jhbaker:
No, I don't recall using fastboot in step 2.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Members,

As IMEI tampering is illegal in most areas, changing or anything to do with manually inputting IMEI numbers is not to be discussed on XDA. (this includes links to info on this elsewhere)

The only discussion allowed on the topic are methods that do not involve editing or inputting numbers, like restoring IMEI from a backup with certain software (which you would have had to back it up before you lost it) or reinstalling firmware and hoping it restores.

I hope that is clear.

Thanks,

Darth

Look, I have the IMEI.

I don't have a serial number or product ID which are needed. And I would have known to back these up beforehand, as I was following upgrade instructions through the regular manual install.

Only now I am getting familiar with these terms.

I cannot contact the vendor. I tried emailing Huwawei themselves.

And I am stuck with a virtually new, not so cheap, brick.

So I am querying as to my options.

I opened it, and I see that I need to lift the screen - which I did not do at this point.

If I do dismantle it, will I see that information behind the battery?

Looks like I got nothing to lose. Its a brick as is.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sadiej:
Ok, I'm the legal owner of a device, I have the IMEI number, original packaging etc. etc. I just have a device without the EMEI on it. Please refer me to a discussion forum that is willing to have this discussion to assist me in sorting out a real problem.

Unable to get boot.img and recovery.img

I've looked everywhere for a "boot.img" and a "recovery.img" for restoring my L09 but each time the script only spits out "system.img".

Hi !!! Thank you for your guide. It helps me a lot.

It has been said but :

-You need to use the flashboot commands while beiing plugged, but UNPLUGGED when you do the EMUI auto update using the + - power combo after the reboot. (most 90% blocks come from that)

Keep hope and faith guys, it took me 5 hours to fix my P8.

I was searching myself for the stock boot.img and recovery.img for te p8 L09. To remove TWRP to get back to stock. I have unlocked bootloader. But here you go , here are the files.

I unpack the files in huaweiupdateextractor from B200 stockrom.

Flash the files in fastboot and your done

USB debugging is on.

Commands in fastbootmode:

Put your phone in bootloadermode ...adb reboot bootloader

Fastboot flash recovery recovery. img. Hit enter

Fastboot flash boot boot.img. Hit enter

Fastboot reboot

Now you have stock boot and recovery.

[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TopperBG:
I will repeat for the 10th time - flash recover, boot and system from VERSION which you come from, before try to update to beta. No one can know on what step update was broken. But if you want to repair from bootloop, restore to previous state for exmpl come from B200, flash files from B200, if you come to update form B190, flash boot/recovery/system from B190. Otherwise can come to boot/recovery from B200 and system from B300 or B190 or something more messy.

Be aware, keep cool minded and think, think, think.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] astraopcuser:
The files are specific for the B200 firmware. When your device is not on build B200 dont flash the attachés files.

....Only for B200....
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TopperBG:
Come on, did you read ?

That's what I'd said. But many folks here described his own solution of personal situation like step-by-step universal solution!

Which is wrong for the people with diff fw version and here we comes with please help, bootloop for two weeks...
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] astraopcuser:
Hey wiseguy.....

People can read in the post its for the b200 build.

I have not the files for every build. I used the files for my own device and share this with other users on xda.

So stop being a wiseguy
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TopperBG:
Ok pall but stay here and follow the thread so be able to answer all the question "not works for me, still in bootloop"

Can you?

That guides are writen few times here, look at page7 and that wont help. Just random example with B200 imgs.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rodlane:
I was on b313 a couple of days ago and I tried the rollback as described. I was also rooted.

What worked for me was this:

I extracted boot.img and recovery.img from the update.app of b313.

fastboot flash boot boot.img.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.

Removed my sd card and put b300 into the dload folder, and put the card back in.

Reboot, and just as the screen goes off, hold power + volume up. Keep holding when the logo is on the screen. Let go when you feel a vibration.

Pray a little...

If this works, you can boot into b313 and do a local update to b170 straight, or to b200 if it fails.

That's it.

Maybe this works for you. Maybe not.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] astraopcuser:
Did you unroot your phone before flashing? in the superuser app. ...full unroot. Restart your device.

Then flash the stock boot and stock recovery img in fastbootmode.

You have now stockrecovery. Do a wipe data factory reset.

And your done. It works for me.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TopperBG:
Never mind, I'd resolved my problem with bootloop after B300 update time ago and it's described right here it that thread.

PS:Bootloop exclude unrooting you know...

Hi there,

I am trying to flash my Huawei P8 Lite. I hate the Vodafone splash screen, so I want to get rid of it. My phone is unlocked and rooted, but is gives an error when I try to install the new software from the SD Card. Any advice? Thank you in advance :)
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 30adi:
Dude...this firmware is for P8 not for P8 lite. There should be another thread for your phone and another firmware

You will brick your phone with this firmware

My problem is that I have a locked bootloader. What would be the best way to fix it?

Edit: I managed to unlock my bootloader, but now my pc says cant find device, how do I fix this?

Extra Edit: My phone gives me errors while in Fastboot say 'not allowed'. How can I fix this?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rodlane:
How did you unlock it?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sicutero:

how did you solve this ?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rodlane:
There are several posts on xda that explain how to unlock your bootloader.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ogeva:
Should I be able to flash the recovery and boot images on a locked fastboot?

I now have both the IMEI and the SN (I opened the device to find it) but not the product ID.

I came accross a Huawei product ID generator, but it doesn't have the L09 product.

Is there another way I could get the product ID?

All the posts about unlocking the boot loader assume you know your product ID. Can it be generated like I see is possible for Mate 7 etc?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragavbpl:
Hello Guys,

I have observed this since day 1 on my nexus 6p, that up till 70% volume level (volume steps), the sound is barely audible in lightly noisy room and then from 75% to 100% (volume steps) volume increases drastically and is loud, crisp & clear!

Are you having same kind of behavior on your device as well? If so, is it an issue or is it intended?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichu_9:
+1 for this, been trying to find service menu code to play around with the Volume levels and see if it fixes it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragavbpl:

I tried to find similar discussions but couldn't find any.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichu_9:
No man, I am trying to solve couple of issues

1) Volume is not audible until you raise it to 3/4 or more.

2) Volume through headphones suck.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newsony:
Hello i like to know whether any Game lags on the Z2 and when will Z2 GPU become obsolete sort of?

I want to buy a used z2 or m4 aqua. M4 aqua white really makes me love it. :D

I know the m4 heats and games lag on it.

So what should i buy OLD z2 or brand new M4 aqua?

I hope the device wont break for atleast 1 year as well.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddboss:
if I were you I'd buy the Z2 because it had better specs, and maybe it'll have longer update support than M4, because it's a Z series flagship model. but if you like the white M4, then buy a white Z3, it has the same specs as Z2, and has similar housing to M4. the Z2, Z3 have 3gb ram, the M4 have just 2gb, so the Z2 and Z3 are faster than M4, and they also have bigger battery than M4.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newsony:
Thanks for the reply.

Hello does any game lags on the Z2? I mean it has a 2 year old GPU?

Is there anything i should know when buying an Old Z2?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
2 year old Z2 is a better than newer phones. It was a flagship phone bro, with a big LED and big 3200 mAh battery and 3gb RAM. The only department were the Z2 suffers is from only 16gb internal memory.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newsony:
So another question will the xperia Z2 and xperia Z3 get android N in 2017?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o0 Matt 0o:
I don't think anyone here will know that.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddboss:
I think they will get it. They're flagship models and Z2 is just a 1 and half year old model. The Z get updates as a 2 and half years model
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] XBlackChaosX:
Hey, so I'm interested in jumping from the note 4 to the note 5, I currently have jump 2. I know I have to trade my note 4 in but would i also be required to put down a down payment for the Note 5? I had to put a down payment of $250 (due to not so great credit) when I got my note 4 back in April and honestly would not want to do that with the note 5. Half of the phone is already paid off BTW.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] chrisbo4:
I say go for it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Ducter:
Probably have to ask tmobile about that. I think it's based on credit as well as length of time you have been a customer iirc.

I haven't had the 4, but honestly, I went in to buy one at Costco and they were running the $250 promotion on the 5 and a couple other samsung phones as well as the Samsung holiday promotion, I decided on the 5 as it turns out cheaper factoring in the promotions.

Having had the note 3 when it was released I don't find the 5 leaps and bounds better. Giving up removable battery, SD and replaceable back is a lot IMO. Not saying the 5 isn't better, just not all that better and when you compare it to the 4 I would imagine even less so.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] nktwister:
I think the question is around down payment and I think you should reach out to T-mobile.. you might have just missed the note 5 lease offer for BF weekend..

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vison5:
I only very recently got my Nexus 6 (Loving it so far), so I decided to pick up a Tylt Wireless Charger on a black friday sale to take advantage of it's wireless charging capabilities. I set up Smartlock when I got the phone and I returned to the settings to see if I could set up my wireless charger as a trusted device with the trusted NFC devices. I tried messing around with it for like 10 minutes and spent some time doing research but I can't seem to get it to work and I'm beginning to think it's just not possible. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get this to work, or to let me know it actually isn't possible, please let me know. Thanks in advance :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vincentallen2:
The tylt charger has nfc?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
I know that with my LG G3, it disables NFC when my phone is connected to my wireless charger (not a Tylt), so I would assume something similar happens with the N6. Plus the Tylt doesn't have NFC capabilities from documentation I've seen, so that is why it isn't possible.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevemw:
I do not think wireless chargers are bluetooth or nfc devices -- "wireless" refers to charging without a cable attached to the phone.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Hermantje:
I'm not a case person. I never really liked cases. I do however like the look of leather to some extent, making devices look old-school, like some cameras. I've seen a lot of videos featuring dbrand skins but in my opinion pretty much everyone just seems to overdo the 'skinning'. I'm looking at you people who add skins to the front and sides of a phone with orange, yellow and bright red colours at the same time.

I finally decided to order a leather back from dbrand, shipping all the way to The Netherlands.

Why? Simply because there's no other leather skin for the Xperia Z1. It cost me about €15 after conversion, fees and whatnot.

Sony Xperia Z1 - In Leather by Herman Groenbroek, on Flickr

In my experience, it was tougher to apply than I thought. I'm an accurate person, but I applied a bit of the skin slightly skewed and I feared I ruined the skin when I tried to take it off again. Thankfully that wasn't the case, but holy hell it's sticky. Another thing to note is that, although I didn't expect a leather feel (it really just feels like plastic), I did expect more grip than with a glass back. In the hand, it is actually less grippy with the skin, despite its texture. I do however like that I can just slide my phone across tables now. The glass (protector) on the back scratched easily doing that, but the plastic skin seems to hold up scratches very well.

I can recommend getting some skin for the back of your Xperia Z1, since it made me feel like my phone is as-new again. Also, all scratches on the back are hidden now :angel:

Looks nice! Thanks for posting this :)! I'm hesitating about like dbrand, slipwrap, skinomi :(( I'm planning hahaha but my phone is not alive at the moment so no go for now >__<

Hi guys, I've noticed that my phone's icons get highlighted randomly sometimes lately. I'm suspecting that someone is controlling it remotely. I did try to use this software to recover deleted files and it requires root access, so half way through the process I cancelled it as it looked a bit fishy. It does says now "software status: modified" on the boot menu though. Am I being paranoid or I'm really in trouble? If I am in trouble, what should I do? Thank you guys.
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
best option if you are concerned is, backup any data you want to save, then find the stock firmware you have on it, and flash it clean.

generally, if you put your phones model number followed by "return to stock" into google, you will find what you need if its available.

[Q] Kids Lock says "currently unavailable" when I try to download to my Kindle Fire?

MX Player is awesome, but Kids Lock says "currently unavailable" when I try to download to my Kindle Fire? Any idea why?
[MX Player] bleu8888:
This is due to systemic fault of Amazon Appstore.

Amazon Appstore forces to select supported Kindle devices on uploading APK, which means, all new devices released after APK upload are automatically set as "unsupported device".

And Kids Lock APK is not changed since first release on 2012..

Alternatively, you can install Kids lock APK directly from https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/download

We will try integrating this plugin on MX Player on next version.
[MX Player] CrimsonFlame:
Can you please re-upload to Amazon? You cannot side-load apps to a Kindle Fire and use them in Free Time (kids profiles), and I would like to use the kids lock plugin when my kids watch movies on their tablet.

Any ETA on when the integration might happen? I really love MX Player, and would even be willing to pay for the plug-in if it was available on the current release of Fire Tablets.
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
That's interesting; I didn't know that the Kindle disallowed sideload. I guess re-upload is the only option.
