[Honor 4x Guides, News, & Discussion] honor_ninja95:
Recently there was an issue with Honor 4x users who updated from KitKat (emui 3.0) --> Lollipop (emui 3.1) version due to some server issues(might be too many downloads at same time because of many many users of Honor4X in India) This is actually due to a corrupted recovery and flashing a new recovery might solve the issue.

To solve the issue HONOR 4X stucked at Honor logo ,i have an easy solution for all those users: Please download and extract the software package from below official path(around 35MB file)

https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0ByJkSOohdNz_Wnd6cVQ3Nlh1am8/edit

Requirements:

1) Make sure that the Micro SD card is available with enough free space(atleast 200MB) and can be read and write. It is recommended that The Micro SD card is made by Sandisk, Kingstone, or Kingmax.

2) Make sure that the power of the battery is enough to run the process. It is recommended that the power of the battery is more than 50%.

Procedure:

Step 1. Format the Micro SD card (This operation is OPTIONAL ).

Step 2. Copy the entire dload folder (with UPDATE.APP in it) contained in the file we downloaded to the root directory of the Micro SD card.

Step 3. Shut down the phone.

Step 4. Press the VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN + POWER Key(simultaneously for few seconds) to power on the phone and enter the Software Upgrade Mode begins automatically. This will start the FIX process on your device.

Step 5. When the progress bar stops(100% upgrade successful), the phone will automatically power OFF and restart.

:fingers-crossed::good: Your device should be working fine now. :good::fingers-crossed:

Upgrade needs stock recovery to be installed and I don't think tha TWRP is stock:p:p:p:p:p:p
[Honor 4x Guides, News, & Discussion] zzztidurvirus:
booted to twrp instead of the stock emergency recovery? try using huawei update extractor and get all the .img files and fastboot flash all the .img files. the method is pretty much the same as fixing my own Che2-L11. once you flashed all the .img files, yes. it will not boot. but, you can access the emergency recovery menu (the menu that allows you to scan and would allow reparing via wifi). IF you can get to this menu, then youre ok good to go for forced upgrade via microsd. just make sure you are using the latest version available your your region. IF it didnt work, you have to fallback by fastboot flash the kitkat version of update.app and force upgrade with that kitkat update.app file. then when its fully booted to language screen, proceed normally as you would a hard reset all phone, then use the usual lolipop, next mellow official update.app file. then, your typical twrp, magisk, and more.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 67p912:
I have seen several posts referring to disabling encryption but not a reason why I should. I am rooted, running 6.0.1, and I skipped the decryption step during the root. My phone says it is encrypted. I haven't noticed any lag but I have only had my phone for 1.5 weeks. One would "assume" that having it encrypted would be better. So why would I want to disable it? Is there a cumulative effect that I don't know about?

Thank you.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keithn:
If you don't want to and you want to leave it encrypted go for it. An encrypted fs will have slower read/write speeds, and some people aren't worried about having their phone encrypted. You can always re encrypt in security settings just now you wont be forced to have it on.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0062:
For my personal device i never use encryption, without it devices are notably faster for me.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacquestrapp:
It's more convenient for flashing ROMs if it's decrypted. Because TWRP recovery can't see an encrypted partition, you can't download a ROM to your phone's storage and then flash it in recovery. It would be nice if we could have two data partitions, an encrypted one and an unencrypted one.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
TWRP has be able to 'see' encrypted storage for a while now.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacquestrapp:
Is there some kind of trick to that, or some setting in TWRP that needs to be enabled? It didn't work for me the first time I tried it.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
It just works and has since November with TWRP version 2.8.7.2.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] queerquirks:
Regarding encryption, if I were to do a twrp backup with 'encryption on', can i restore that backup on a 'encryption off' phone after.

My plan is to:

Nandroid backup with encryption on

Decrypt (which erases all user data)

Restore backup

How will this affect the backup since 1 has encryption on previously?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] audit13:
You mean you're getting a message that says an error was encountered with a firmware upgrade and to use Kies to fix it?

Best thing to do would be to flash a stock ROM using Odin. Stock Samsung ROMs can be downloaded from sammobile.com.

[G3 General] KiaTheKing:
Hello and welcome everyone to my Noob-Friendly guide :) Feel free to press 'Thanks' and 'Subscribe' on the Youtube if you have enjoyed.

Video tutorial:

[YOUTUBE]watch?v=RtqSQig6Ups[/YOUTUBE]

Written tutorial:

1. Root:

Its is too easy to root LG G3

- Go to Settings/ General/ About device/ Software info/ and then you need to press 'Build number' 7 times so you became 'Developer'

- Go to Settings/ General and there you will see new menu called 'Developer options', click on it, and check 'USB Debugging' click on 'OK' and you are ready to Root

- Navigate to 'Lg One click root' which you downloaded here: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951 previously

- Install drivers on your pc (if you are using windows 8, 10, you will need to disable driver signature, check this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YafV2zlGA38)

- Drivers: http://tool.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=UW00120120425 , for MAC: http://tool.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=UW00320110909

- Connect you phone to microUSB and then USB to pc, click 'Start' and after a few seconds you should press 'Ok' on your phone.

- Phone will boot into Download mode and flash necessary files.

- You do have successfully rooted you LG G3! Congratz

2. Installing recovery (TWRP)

This is one more easy step :)

- Go to Google Play store (after you rooted device)

- Search for 'Autorec' and choose the app for your device model (mine phone is d855 so i choosed d855 app)

- Download Autorec, open it, and after it loads press 'Flash TWRP'

- Your phone will boot into TWRP and you are ready for Android M :)

3. Navigating throught TWRP and flashing Rom:

- Before flashing any mod, rom or whatever you need to download it :DDD You can download whatever rom you want and you can find Lg G3 roms here:

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development

- I flashed CandySix for exemple. If you want working Google Play store you will need to download Gapps also.

- Go to 'Wipe' , then check 'data' 'cashe' 'dalvik cashe' 'system' , now swipe and you are ready to flash your rom

- Navigate to 'Install' and press the 'Romsname.zip' , swipe and you are done

- Now flash gapps the same way

- Reboot , and now you will need to wait about 10 minutes so the system can boot up.

YOU ARE DONE
[G3 General] KiaTheKing:
Any thoughts? :)
[G3 General] CrawnberyJack:
Good idea. As I never rooted/installed any custom recovery on this phone, is really nice to get a fast tutorial, for when and if i will need it.
[G3 General] KiaTheKing:
Glad i helped someone :)
[G3 General] MidnightDevil:
Thanks :) Its a good informative post, however don't forget to mention you're helping the user to install a custom rom which isn't stock, just in case a few go thinking this is lg release.
[G3 General] okanb3:
This is for not stock rom i guess? Only aosp based 6.0 ?
[G3 General] MidnightDevil:
AOSP / CM based. I think XenonHD is AOSP based, CM is well, cyanogen :)

So no. We shoud have stock marshmallow in the next days hopefully. You'll easily know when it happens by the ammount of hysteria around and posts :)

If you read the OP first post it mentions "flashed CandySix for exemple". CandySix is CM based :)

Still a good bet and a wonderful way to get into, CM13 (marshmallow version of cyanogen) is surprisingly fast and bugs are being ironed out everyday. Pretty much a daily driver for many users.
[G3 General] donjamal:
thanks OP for your work, but (because there's always a but) the title of the thread is a bit misleading. It should mention that this is not for LG's MM update... :)
[G3 General] KiaTheKing:
It says it is unofficial sooo it is not mislending :D
[G3 General] donjamal:
It sounds like you know an unofficial way to update to mm. But it's ypur topic...
[G3 General] bravo2526:
i am in tention guyz.. i have lg g3 d858hk variant . as described above i rooted it and by autorec tried to install the recovery and when i restarted it..it just show a lg icon and at top left corner gave an error of ''SECURE BOOTING ERROR'' its not going in safe mode nor in recovary ..when tried to put in download mode it show the download mode and the error at top corner and them after a few second shut downs to restart again ..please tell me how to unbrick it .... it was on offical lollipop
[G3 General] KiaTheKing:
Did you installed autorec for your phone version? Probably not. So now you will need to reinstall whole system using this guide:

I was recently on chroma rom with a layers theme applied and I decided to go back to stock and it seems like the layers theme stayed through all the flashes.... I'm not complaining because I much prefer my theme then the stock theme but I'm just curious as to why it stuck
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncsuwolfs:
layers are stored in the vendor folder, did you flash vendor.img? i learned this after my layers stayed after i did a factory reset
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XavierD8188:
Yeah, layers themes are stored in the vendor folder so you'd have to erase and flash the vendor.img. I had that happen to me as well and saw my google search and app draw were still dark themed. I used the flash-all command and everything was cleared and good to go after.. Just have to flash TWRP again..
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] Bobby060:
Let's make a list of which Layers themes are working on stock rooted Marshmallow.

For me, Sky Blue works

Coalesce, Prime Layers, and SimpL MM all don't work.
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] RemnantKing2:
What do you mean by works? Prime Layers sticks for me, no FC's...

navigate, and Peeaf (Paid), works for me as well.
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] Bobby060:
Prime layers FCs Amazon and Kindle and screws up my launcher. I've been messing with it, but I can't tell what's wrong.
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] Sheetzie03:
Yeah force closes of some apps and sometimes even the whole system. I applied one and system endlessly force closed, forget which one it was tho ?
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] k3mik4l:
Magpie works great
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] timde9:
I am using pastelz, bought the full version and it is working wonderfully better than any other theme I tried so far and its a very well designed theme to begin with.
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] Sheetzie03:
Looked at the screenshots on the play store, looks great. So its worth it? Thinking of buying it. A little scared away though because the first I DL layers, one of the first few themes I tried, it completely crashed my phone and I had to re DL my rom and lost all my current set up
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] RemnantKing2:
Pastelz is definitely worth it.

Just make sure you're following the directions they give and make sure to do a full reboot. I've gotten many fc's after applying the layer which is normal, manually reboot and you'll be fine.
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] Anamorphic01:

Be careful with the Simpl layer. If you download the 5.0 version in the Play Store you will bootloop. You must use the MM version.

So how are u guys installing this themes? I just installed two by using Layers Manager from Google Play and both themes seemed to have broken my phone. It looks like the system booted up bu all I had was a black screen and the phone would vibrate if I press the power button. I even tried to force the phone to reboot. TWRP backups are a life saver. Had to restore both times to the backup. Any help? Btw, still running stock LP, rooted, xposed.
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] RemnantKing2:
You need to be either on a ROM that supports layers on LP, or on MM.

[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] therealrayzzor:
You also need to make sure the theme has been updated to support MM...when I first installed layers on MM I had that same issue not knowing that some themes weren't optimized for MM yet...once I found that out I haven't had a problem with a layer since...also if you would have known beforehand (like I wish I did) you could have went into twrp and deleted the apks from the layers theme that caused the issue and then try to boot back into the rom without having to restore

[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] mike489:
If this happens, boot TWRP and mount /system. Then go to advanced --> file manager and navigate to /system/vendor/overlay and remove the apk files that are giving you issues. I would remove the ones that screw with the systemui
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] gmillz:
What does everybody here think layers is missing?
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] annoyingduck:
More detailed descriptions of what each layer is actually theming. A better understanding of changing layers - can you just add another color without removing the old one on the same item if you don't like it (coalesce for example)?. Do app updates require you to remove then re-apply layers? Where as cm's theme updates just require a reboot. I think the biggest problem is the people that know it, know it, and the people that don't have a hard time finding basic answers. I'm seasoned to Android, but new to layers... Still much I don't know, and find hard to find out. That would be my biggest problem is lack of understanding.
[X Style (Pure) Themes and Apps] CJ-Wylde:
100% THIS!!! I'm also a veteran to Android, but new to Layers and have run into a few bumps here and there and even did refunds on a few of the layers I liked but couldn't sort out what was causing my FCs. I now know enough to say I can get them to work, but am running into so many inconsistencies that staying with stock is starting to be the best option. :( Some more details on what's themed, perhaps a more organized approach to what you can and cannot choose / select in the more advanced themes would be helpful.

I don't know enough about Layers / RRO to just do something myself, but InversionUI Pro & DestinyDark are my 2 absolute favorites.

systemUI/nfc crash

I have an XT1575 running rooted stock. MM build mph24.49-18. I'm running the latest layers manager.

Any time I apply a layer to systemUI my phone can't boot. It isn't bootlooping, but it just boots to a black screen giving repeated systemUI/nfc has stopped errors. I've had to restore a nandroid backup to get out of it each time (about 4x in the last 24 hours).

I've stuck to layers reported in this thread to be working like Inversion and Material Glass. Anyone else seeing this?

Edit: Well never mind. I turned off NFC before applying layers and it seems to have fixed this issue. As long as NFC is off I can apply systemUI layers just fine :confused: I'm also able to enable NFC again after rebooting, and leave it enabled on subsequent reboots.
