Calling all the Huawei Experts to help me out on this!!

Short Summary of problem

On my Ascend Mate 7 MT7-TL10 (running Android 5.1.1 version B326) -The bootloader shows as unlocked but I still can't flash a custom recovery - It gives error 'FAILED (remote: image verification error)'. I am using the lastest version of ADB/Fastboot, I have USB drivers installed and I also have the Bootloader Unlock code from Huawei, which works and shows 'Done'

Little bit more information

- On the Bootloader screen of my MT7-TL10 (Gold 32 GB, 3 GB RAM version), I see "Phone Unlocked" in red, which means that my bootloader is unlocked. (refer to attachment)

- When I run the command 'Fastboot OEM get-bootinfo', it returns 'UNLOCKED'.

- However, whenever I try to flash a custom recovery, it gives me an error 'FAILED: (remote: image verification error).

- At the same time, if I flash stock recovery, it is successful.

Detailed Information

- When I run the command 'fastboot oem get-bootinfo' it returns 'UNLOCKED'.

- However, when I run the command 'fastboot oem get-lockstate', it returns 'Locked'

- I rolled back to KitKat 4.4.2 - But the process of roll-back to KitKat 4.4.2 was not as simple as it was described in many forums and I first ended up soft-bricking the device

- I followed the restore process described on Huawei's website and ended up flashing a chinese ROM (JAZZ) on my MT7-TL10 and there were plethora of chinese apps

- Then, I unlocked the bootloader using (fastboot oem unlock <unlock code>) and on KitKat, both commands 'fastboot oem get-bootinfo' and 'fastboot oem get-lockstate' returned 'UNLOCKED' (Hurray!, That's what I thought but...)

- Realizing that the bootloader was finally unlocked, with the help of [MENTION=5127555]acbka[/MENTION], I was finally able to restore Lollipop (version 5.1.1 - B326) and to my utter disgust, after upgrading, I found out that I was again not able to flash a custom ROM - On Lollipop, the command 'fastboot oem get-lockstate' again returned 'LOCKED' and the command 'fastboot oem get-bootinfo' returned 'UNLOCKED'

- As you can see, I was back to square 1 and I still can't unlock the bootloader and therefore, I cannot root my phone

Final statement

- When I rolled back to KitKat, the Bootloader showed as Unlocked and I was able to flash custom recovery TWRP

- After upgrading to Lollipop (5.1.1 B324 and B326), I am unable to flash custom recovery (somehow, the bootloader shows as 'Locked' when I run 'fastboot oem get-lockstate')

- If I flash stock recovery, it is successful

- The error 'FAILED (remote: image verification error)' implies that the bootloader is locked and that's why it forbids flashing of custom recovery BUT it allows flashing stock recovery

Please see the attached pictures, which will show what I mean.

I will really appreciate any help to enable me to flash a custom recovery!! Please help!

try another bat file to flash recovery,

[Ascend Mate 7 Original Android Development] kingrk:
Thanks for replying. However, this won't help because I am directly running the fastboot command (not using a .bat file). The link that you posted is dead...

Please read this: I have explained in my post with scrrenshots that the fastboot command 'fastboot oem unlock CODE' works and shows 'Done', which means that it has unlocked the bootloader. If you repeat the command, it shows 'user already unlocked', which is a proof that the Fastboot command is working.

However, the problem is that flashing a custom Recovery shows a 'remote' error, which means that it is the bootloader, which is preventing the flashing of the custom recovery.

The problem is that on Android 5.1.1, the bootloader is appearing as locked even though the fastboot procedure shows that the bootloader was unlocked.

I have tried different fastboot binaries and also tried different procedures (including BAT files) but not able to beat this problem.
[Ascend Mate 7 Original Android Development] kingrk:
Edit: The link that you posted is not dead - it didn't open on my smartphone. The author of that post ACBKA helped me and we both tried it but could not beat the bootloader. While it shows that it is unlocked, it is still restrictive and doesn't allow flashing of custom recovery.
[Ascend Mate 7 Original Android Development] kingrk:
I have an idea!

I remember that when I was troubleshooting the problem (my smartphone was soft-bricked when I tried to rollback to KitKat and I ended up flashing Chinese 'Jazz' version on my TL10), I had realized that the bootloader was FULLY UNLOCKED on the chinese Jazz ROM and I could actually install a custom recovery. So, here is the idea:

a) First roll back to KitKat 4.4.2 --> I believe that there is a procedure on XDA to roll-back to KitKat

b) Change the phone's location to China

c) Install custom recovery and root phone by flashing superuser

d) Upgrade to Lollipop 5.1.1 (Chinese version)

e) Upgrade to Marshmallow beta (Chinese version)

f) Install custom recovery and root phone
[Ascend Mate 7 Original Android Development] xAghilx:

just unlock the bootloader again using unlock code!

Ok, so I was able to build RR 5.6 MM - I haven't tested it on my phone yet. I've been reading about external sd card issues where people selected something about using it as internal ... which seems to be a bad idea. If anyone wants to test it let me know and I'll post it.

I've been reading the CM13 thread and the users there say they've been able to go back to CM12.1 so I believe you can drop back without issue, please do read through that thread starting

somewhere round this area http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/development/hlte-spr-vzw-temaseks-unofficial-t2953375/page2064 to get familiar with their experiences (which won't be 100% the same as RR does modify the source heavily)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Josephigloe:
I did not have a bad experience with SD card, on temesak 1.6 but I chose external, on earlier builds it would say SD card corrupt, but since he posted the new flashing procedure on HLTESPR, we can't get sms to work, I have been testing for the new thread moderator tuxpenguin76, but I'm willing to test some stuff for you.

So is there anything that stops developers port it for our M7s ? :)
[One (M7) General] devsk:
I think it boils down to kernel drivers.

The fastest route would be CM13 for M7 but that project is stuck with issues with drivers as well.

[Mate 8 Accessories] iuserman:
Not many cases are out yet and I guess that most of us will have to wait anther month or two before we will be able to get this device but for now, what cases do you hope that will be released for this device?

One case that I think is nice is the Huawei Mate 8 Case, KKtick® Ultra-thin Nature TPU Slim Flexible Soft Cover

What do you guys think about it?
[Mate 8 Accessories] mke1973:
Some vendors will start bringing out cases around the time of the international launch. If you look at Chinese reviews, you see that cases are included with the Chinese versions.

I got a smart window case with the 128gb I bought, but only used it one day. Now am using an ultra thin tpu transparent case I bought from Aliexpress. I bought another from Amazon that was a little thicker, but prefer the one from Aliexpress. I am not big on using cases. A clear screen protector was already pre-installed, but looking for a full coverage tempered glass. I ordered one from Aliexpress, but still hasn't delivered.
[Mate 8 Accessories] ajsmsg78:
The transparent clear case that a lot of sellers sell is not enough. It's too loose and the lip over the screen isn't enough. I dropped mine IN THE CASE and still put two dents in the bottom of the phone by the speaker. I would recommend something else. I bought this one as well and it seems to be good.

Just got this phone shipped from swappa. I have the unlocked xt1103. I'm on Verizon and haven't put the sim in yet. I'm letting it charge. Currently on 5.1.1 and it says that there is a system update ready to install. I plan on rooting tonight or tomorrow. Questions, should I take the update or stay on 5.1.1? What would be the easier choice?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
before putting your sim in, take the update. marshmallow is much better.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sefirosu0522:
Thanks. My question though is what is easier to root? 5.1.1 or 6?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieman999:
5.1.1 is technically easier, but not by much. You need the SuperSU Beta and to flash a modified boot.img file, but that's it. You can read up on that here:

http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

The benefits of M are well worth the extra step for root.

Hi guys,i realy love to flash a custom rom in my Zenfone 5.:D

Yes,I can flash roms or whatever via recovery,the only real problem here is,when i unlocked the bootloader,the camera will not working either on stock rom or custom rom,others are working just fine.

Flashing custom roms sure are fun,but this issue gave me a huge bummer as camera is realy important.:(:crying:

I used alot of methods to unlock the bootloader,but the problem still remains the same.:silly:

My Zenfone 5 Model is A501CG,here are the specs :-

-2/16gb ROM

-Intel Atom Z2560 1.6ghz

I found out that they are few users that having the same problem as mine.

Don't worry,i can make the camera back to normal,but for that,i'll have to relock the bootloader

I hope the devs will work on this problem.

Thank you and sorry for my bad english :p

[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgadelha:
It's a uncommon issue that I found too.

Unlocking my friend's phone EXACTLY same way I did on mine (40.30 bootloader, 59.A1 ifwi) made his phone camera stop to work.

I don't know what is the issue, but it makes impossible to use the camera on the phone with a unlocked bootloader.

You can try to unlock bootloader with my tool: drive.google.com/file/d/0B1-5RXbzbyk7cmxGR3h0d2Q0QzA/

I'm on kk 2.22.40.54 original firmware with root and locked bootloder (i tried to flash twrp but the process failed). Can i use your tool without problems like random boot, no camera, etc.?

I need to install custom recovery only.

How can I make system backup before?

Thanks
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgadelha:
You can try it. There's a small chance of your phone bring different from ours (which causes the camera bug). If you get camera bug just relock bootloader.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popoalex:
I'm trying to build this on my device, but I have some problems during the building process. First of all, I synced the AOSP 4.3_r2.2 source tree. Then I copied the entire cornerstone codes (from branch v4.3_r2.2) into the source tree. Then I start to build.

First, I got a lot of errors like these:

frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/public.xml:244: error: Symbol 'config_bluetooth_adapter_quick_switch' declared with <java-symbol> not defined
frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/public.xml:1558: error: Symbol 'config_enableDreams' declared with <java-symbol> not defined
frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/public.xml:919: error: Symbol 'ic_suggestions_add' declared with <java-symbol> not defined
frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/public.xml:920: error: Symbol 'ic_suggestions_delete' declared with <java-symbol> not defined
...

After compared a lot, I found lots of missing symbols seems only in public.xml. If I were right, I think these symbols should be defined in somewhere else, then be added into public.xml. So I just removed these by restore the public.xml to unmodified (git checkout).

And then when I ran building again, I got the error like this:

frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/wm/DimAnimator.java:57: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable FX_SURFACE_DIM
location: class android.view.Surface
Surface.FX_SURFACE_DIM);
^
frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/wm/DimAnimator.java:54: internal error; cannot instantiate com.android.server.wm.WindowStateAnimator.SurfaceTrace.<init> at com.android.server.wm.WindowStateAnimator.SurfaceTrace to ()
mDimSurface = new WindowStateAnimator.SurfaceTrace(session, 0,
^
...
frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/wm/DimSurface.java:48: cannot find symbol

mDimSurface = new WindowStateAnimator.SurfaceTrace(session, 0,
^
...

By looked into the AOSP source, I found the Surface.FX_SURFACE_DIM should be SurfaceControl.FX_SURFACE_DIM, and the WindowStateAnimator.SurfaceTrace constructor's parameter number is different. So I wonder whether am I use the "right" source tree of AOSP? If not, which version should I sync? Since there are so many differences than the codes in cornerstone.

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popoalex:
Finally resolved the problem, by did these:

1. Removed the symbol definition from public.xml;

2. Replaced android.view.Surface with android.view.SurfaceControl, and WindowManagerService.DEFAULT_DIM_DURATION with WindowAnimator.DEFAULT_DIM_DURATION.

Getting it relocked is the only way to send it back for warranty claim. I wasn't able to get it recognized by my computer so that I can run fastboot comands on it - the right one is ./fastboot oem lock
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Follow_and_Feel:
Did you use the proper fastboot.exe? What OS is your computer? If it's windows try these.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maildaemon:
It seems that in order to get fastboot operational, you need to have a working bootloader. So, after a couple (hundred) of tries - DO NOT FLASH KDZ (REFURBISH) your LG G4, it still boots once in a while and if it has your account and data and it will be faster to get to fastboot mode and get the bootloader locked again. Can somebody confirm that you can execute "fastboot oem lock" on an unlocked device? This will save us a lot of time trying to get the device to that state...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicks0315:
for me it is impossibile. If you have a g4 with bootloader locked and you doing fastboot oem unlock it says that it is no possibile...you must follow the instructions that lg provides with file unlock.bin

So is impossibile relock bootloader with fastboot oem lock...I hope that anyone find the way to do it...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maildaemon:
Well unfortunately it is not posible to lock the bootloader via "fastboot oem lock" :( I'm waiting for user [MENTION=7040128]warloxfre[/MENTION] for some more info on his ideas (fingerscrossed)
