[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HXOY:
My phone has done exactly the same thing, happened in February too, initially it did the random freeze then started to reboot itself, went back to stock software and full wipe but no improvement; now it will only boot if I leave the battery out for a prolonged period, otherwise it doesn't respond to the power button at all.

I occasionally see MMC Read Fail on boot but not all the time so presumably the internal memory has a bad contact or is failing.

Can it be replaced?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
I have the same problem with my Note 3. Only if I keep the battery out for a long (over 24 hours) time I can see the boot logo. So if you find a solution to this kindly don't forget to tag me, will really appreciate it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilsonb:
I was wondering..

I came across this Forum group since I was looking for boot problems with my SM-N910T3

I hope flashing pit will resolve this..

I recently started to have some low level issue and was hoping it was partition/boot related and not hardware.

Randomly phone boot directly into Download mode with error;

ddi: mmc_read failed

Often I have to pull battery and hold down /power / home for 10 sec to boot up again.

Thanks

:( Hello my tablet strange came after a Trojan attack, delete the Trojan with antivirus and perform hard reset stayed in formatting with snowman android lid open, as I fix? He had root but with the original rom.
[Android General] Pseudomizer:
Hello guys,

I bought 3 chinese tablets 1.5 years ago and they have been working fine. Suddenly they stopped working, on all 3 tablets at the same time I am getting issues which is a clear message by itself instead of having different issues on one or two of them. The same issues on all 3 of them at the same time.

Here are the symptoms:

- Google Play Store = Cannot establish reliable connection - Timeout"

- Gmail = Doesn't connect with error message

- Browser = any google search which switches to HTTPS as I am logged in just times out. When I use HTTP instead of HTTPS I can use the google.com website to search. Any HTTPS connection of the browser times out to any website which is weird as I would get the Google issue but any website.

Steps taken:

- I tried on one of them a factory reset and still the same issues. As a matter of fact I cannot even reinstall the apps onto that tablet as Google Play Store doesn't come up again.

- I also checked the /etc/hosts file as searching this forum it implied that this is the issue but my file has only one entry which is the localhost 127.0.0.1 and that's it.

- I also looked into the countless certificates preinstalled on this tablet and disabled some of them to see if this is a certificate issue which wouldn't surprise me given that there are chinese, turkish, etc certificates installed and they might be no longer trusted or have been hacked, etc.

- I also tried to locate a new ROM which would make those tablets work again but I didn't find one and obviously I don't want the same one as I have now because it doesn't work after factory reset anyway

- I emailed the JYJ company in China and got zero response

Here are the specs of the tablets I bought from Amazon:

(from an Android 4.4.4 user on a Nexus 7 2013)

(Solution 1)

I began to have this problem after installing the Xposed module "XInstaller". I uninstalled that module and everything went back to normal.

Important: It can get easy to confuse all of these X words. It wasn't "Xposed Installer" that was the issue. The issue was the module for Xposed called "XInstaller". This module lets you change some of Android's default app installation/uninstallation behaviors.

(Solution 2)

The XDA user ghostwheel did the following that worked for him.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paleozord:
Hi,

I asked this question over on another mobile phone forum and a user directed me here, so here goes:

Is it necessary for apps developed for Windows Mobile 5 and 6 (PPC) to be "signed" in any way in order to be installed and run? Similar to the way newer Symbian OS apps must be signed? Or can they just be developed and flat-out installed without any hassle or complication, the same way apps for regular desktop Windows PC's can be?

As a programmer/developer and also a Symbian user, I absolutely HATE the need for signing or certifying anything for it to be able to run. If it's not necessary on a laptop or desktop, it shouldn't be necessary on a phone. I am considering switching over from Symbian to WM6, but ONLY if the platform is completely free of the need for anything resembling certificates and signing.

At the very least, is there the option for the end WM6/5 user to easily change a setting within the OS so as to allow the full installation of non-signed apps? I'd settle for that. With Symbian, both developers and users are completely imprisoned by certificates and cannot do anything without the permission of the OS fascists.

Thanks for any help on this..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GilesTheAlmighty:
on WM5 default, when you try and uninstall something unsigned, you just have to tap the "yes" button to run the application, after that it remembers it for that app.

so basically for my setup (wm5/wm6) i can run anything, signed or unsigned. And there is a fix somewhere to disable the notification warning

hope that helps

and

come to the light side

Pocket PC's for the win :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paleozord:
Thanks for your reply.. it's certainly encouraging to hear that WM5/6 is not restricted by the absolute necessity for signed certificates like Symbian is. As a programmer I completely refuse to bother developing software for a platform that handcuffs both developer and end user so mercilessly. If I can write programs in Visual Basic that will comple to an EXE and run hassle-free on any Windows PC, I don't see why I should have any less freedom when writing programs for a mobile device.

SymbianSigned and its locked OS is a deal-breaker for me. In looking through this forum though, it seems that there are in fact some components of WM that absolutely must be signed to be installed? Like skins for example? Are there any other components that fall into that category?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paleozord:
Still hoping to get a defnitive answer on what components of WM require mandatory signing and which ones are totally non-restrictive optional. So far my understanding is that under no circumstances do any applications ever have to be signed in order to be installed and run, no matter what kind of advanced access and functions they involve. Correct? Whereas fully integrated keyboard skins do need to be signed, for some reason. Correct?

Any other categories not covered above that do or don't require signing?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Tek_Gremlin:
As far as I know the worse case scenario for signing is that you must also install your own cert. All that happens when you do this is again a warning.

As for the merits of the whole signing thing. Although I agree symbian goes too far, I think some kind of signing procedure, that is more robust should be required for windows mobile.

My preferred solution would be to have restricted functions that on install warn the user of exactly what capabilities the SW has, and allows the user to allow or restrict certain capabilities.

Simply an I trust this or that is useless as everyone ends up trusting everything as you have little choice. But given that it is easy to write SW using the RIL functions that completely unknown to the user can call expensive pay lines, download ridiculous amounts of data over gprs, or even send me personal information from your device, some security should definitely be required.

The truth is because of the ability to make expensive phone calls directly to people who will have direct financial benefit, I would argue security for a phone is at least if not more important than on the PC.

my 2 cents
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sleuth255:
WM5/WM6 editions for touch-screen devices generally come with "relaxed" security which means that third party apps don't have to be signed to execute once somebody answers yes to a first-time warning dialog box. ROM cookers here generally relax this requirement even more by setting a registry value HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\0000101A to a 1. This disables the first-time warning message also.

However, services and device drivers generally need to be signed because they are executed before these relaxed settings take effect. Application developers generally can work around this too by starting the service/device driver themselves with a little program placed in \windows\startup

WM6/WM5 editions for devices without touch-screens generally have a higher security setting that disallows execution of any application unless it is signed.

Does this exist? I have talked to over 6 different stores all telling me that their unit with this description has a R16 quad core a9 and when I ask for further information they give me standard aliexpress answers like "yes its very good and a9 quad core yes!" . I want to believe in this because All of the 9 inch screens for my car have this "r16 quad core a9" or some variant I wish they would just have one with the rk3188 so I could just buy with confidence. Also they all happen to be running 4.4.2 which leads me to believe they are probably lying about the quadcore a9.
[Android Head-Units] Geekybiker:
9 inch? I assume that its a car specific model. If you listed model and year you'll probably get more helpful answers.

It's probably closer to 8 but yes it's car specific here is one of em that continues to tell me they are using quad core a9 on an mstar. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/9-10...-DVD-GPS-for-Mercedes-Benz-E/32590481123.html

[Android Head-Units] danknasty:
Wow how did you manage to find an honest seller on that site I been researching this thing for weeks and never saw this one. Only the sellers trying to say a9 quad core r16 upgraded lol. One of them actually asked me how I knew it wasn't an a9 like I did detective work or something. Anyway is there a huge noticeable difference between the r16 quad a7 and the 3188 quad a9? The a7 is supposed to be newer but slower. I just want to make sure I can navigate smoothly and there's no issues with Bluetooth etc.
[Android Head-Units] Geekybiker:
Well, its running a mali 400 gpu. That's what was on a galaxy s3 and note 2 for comparison. It drove a 720p screen, so higher res. The cpu power I'd be less worried about since you probably won't be doing much heavy duty work. I'd guess it'll be fine, but can't really point to any benchmarks.

[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbuccia:
Huawei recently shipped update B180.

They advised to unroot the phone first, but I have been stupid and updated with TWRP installed on the second recovery partition (e-recovery?) and the update failed.

My phone now won't boot. I can put it in fastboot/recovery mode and access TWRP, so I guess all I need is a stock ROM.

I cannot find anything useful for Honor 7 with Google, I would like a recent ROM (most recent I found is a B130).

I would also appreciate some advice on how to recover from this boot freeze.

Would flashing a stock ROM with TWRP be enough?

Thank you very much.

I'm kinda pissed since that phone is quite expensive.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demeth:
You cannot flash a stock rom with TWRP.

You have to flash the stock recovery then a stock rom, using fastboot.

The more recent stock rom available is the B130, unfortunatly.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james194zt:
Have a look at my posts, I have done similar (although I had the normally recovery.img installed) you need to downgrade using the marshmallow downgrade ROM then to the full 121 or 130 ROM after putting the stock recovery back (for the version your phone was on before this happened I assume it was 170 if you were going to 180) once you are back on 130 you can then upgrade up to 180 through the usual process. I have done this a few times and it has been fine whilst experimenting with the device.

The current version of the phone appears to be burned in to it (I think curver.img is doing this inside the UPDATE.APP but I haven't found a way of flashing this file back to the phone to play around with downgrading without the MM downgrade ROM), this I think is what causes it to hang if it has a boot.img and recovery.img that does not match the version the phone thinks it is.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fmotta:
I am in the same boat with [MENTION=7287231]rbuccia[/MENTION].

I can only access fastboot and recovery (twrp).

I also found that I must have something wrong with 3rdmodem because if i wipe form inside twrp I always get an error message on that partition.

Also I have a rom from Kangvip flashable with twrp but veven this has no effect.

I think that we cannot unbrick it without a completely and full stock rom but I think there is no one.

Any idea?
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james194zt:
This method should work for the above, first we need to get your device to boot. The following should work... Extract UPDATE.APP from the B180 ROM and then extract boot.img and recovery.img using Huawei Update Extract. Now extract the UPDATE.APP from the full 130 ROM and extract system.img using the Huawei image extractor. Once you have them 3 files, place them in the same folder as your fastboot installation and do the following...

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img

This should give you a working bootable phone, it will be a mess half 180 for Kernel etc... and the system itself will be 130 but it should boot. Then place the MM downgrade ROM into the dload folder on your SDCARD and run the update process, it will crash at 95% this is fine the phone will boot back up. Now place the UPDADTE.APP from 130 in the dload folder and run the update again, this should flash and give you a fully functioning normal system running version 130, then follow the update process to get back to 180.

The modem will get flashed as part of the 130 update package so hopefully that will resolve that issue for you as well.

Thanks for the tips, but

2. I can't access the VOL+ VOL- POWer AKA updater mode, it just bootloops.

Thx :laugh:
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james194zt:
Its on one of the threads at the top of General all the firmwares are there, no you don't need to do the vol+/- thing, just power power it down and then hold power up whilst plugging in to your PC. If this works the device will load up in fastboot and you should be able to flash what you need, to do the above the bootloader will need to be unlocked but you can do that from fastboot.

If your device is in a boot loop plug it in via USB to your PC and keep holding the volume up and when it reboots eventually it will go in to fastboot.

I must be blind, but i can only find the ota updates, not the full stock firmware :/

[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james194zt:
You need to use the system.img from B130 it is located here https://mega.nz/#!PlpXnLxD!azPTqEscNnwuSdrjpJJKO9zkyCpzAl7d6w3OpYx1se8 once you have this follow the above process and you should end up with a phone thats working and has the correctly matching firmware. Make sure you do it all though, just because it will boot with a mismatched boot loader and system.img doesn't mean you should keep it that way, it could be unstable and will cause issues with future upgrades.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demeth:
Thx for the reply ! But that's what i said earlier, when i flash boot.img, system.img and recovery.img from the B130 update.app, the phone still bootloops.

I have access to the Huawei E-recovery if i do VOL+ POWER while the phone is plugged in the pc

I have access to the fastboot mode if i do VOL- POWER while the phone is plugged in he pc

I DON'T have access to the software mode upgrader if i do VOL+ VOL- POWER, no matter is the phone is plugged in or not

The phone still bootloops, plugged in or not.

:/
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james194zt:
You need to flash boot.img and recovery.img from 180 and system.img from 130, sorry if that was not clear above! the boot loop is being caused because the boot.img doesn't match the version your phone thinks its on, if 180 doesn't work try the version before you upgraded i.e. 170 the system.img is just the android OS if you see HONOR glowing then you are booting system.img at that point but if it isn't glowing then you are still in the bootloader at that point so you need to sort out boot.img.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demeth:
I've never been in 180, and as i said, i can't take the boot and recovery.img from the OTA update, i need a full stock firmware of B180 ! :/
