[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] clouds5:
thx, at least there is a way :D not prepared to go through all that though. I just realized I still have the update files on my phone (under \Internal storage\HwOUC\54265), there are two files: update.zip (381 mb) and update_data_hw_eu.zip (84 mb).

All I have to do is start up the update process again, as the files are still there. I tried moving these to dload folder on the sd card, packed, unpacked etc nothing seems to make it work so far. If I copy just the update.app from inside the update.zip the update process works but nothing changes, still on B136.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] emilrune:
Yeah, holding back here for the moment, until we have a clear idea on how to update. I'm not needing b166 that much, that I have to jump through all those hoops, reset, wipe etc. just for the update.

How can i flash the stock recovery, tryed with STK Tool got an failed . (Command not allowed)

Ok, Recovery should now installed, but, when i press all 3 Buttons i got EMUI "Download latest version and recovery" "Reboot" and "Shutdown" When i click Download.... he cant download any files, wifi is working!

But it didnt install the Update.APP from the dload Folder. (B166)

I am at the Moment on B136
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] clouds5:
Not exactly understanding what you are asking. For some reason moving the update.app from B166 in the dload folder is not working for this update. So at this moment there is no way to manually update.

If your OTA update failed and/or you don't get the update notification anymore there is only one way to get B166 at the moment: Flash full stock B136 (dload method), which does a factory reset and reverts everything back to stock, then you will get the update notification back and the update will work, even with unlocked bootloader.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] aliensmille:
I tried to install B162, that doesn't work with dload. My Bootloader is still unlocked, stock recovery is now installed, still rooted.

Should I try to install b136 and try to get the update?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] aliensmille:
I need L19C432B136, have someone an link for me, cant find this ROM
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] aliensmille:
Unfortunately not, don't know how you have done this, that's not working for me.

Hi guys,

Recently I've downgraded Acro S to 4.0.4 and yesterday I wanted to install CynogenMod 12 on it, but failed, as it seems to me the fastboot drivers are not installed correctly (and I don't know how and what to do about it). In MSC mode when connected to pc an empty semi-transparent drive occurs on My Computer. Can't get in (I can do pretty much nothing with it). When trying to get in the fastboot mode, the phone stays in fastboot mode for a 3-5 secs and then it continues to charge the battery as in usual mode. Therefore on pc in cmd it doesn't find fastboot devices and when entering other commands it says <waiting for device> or something. I tried 15 sec ADB installer - didn't help. Other adb and fastboot drivers too - didn't help. Could you help me guys? Thank you in advance!

BTW, I'm on Win 10, if it can solve the problem

Guys my charger is give me 1.1 A it's normal? it won't damage my battery?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] JohnTheFarm3r:
No, it won't. Don't worry. Almost all modern devices limit the amount of current they can draw from the power supply in order to protect the battery and the inner circuits. If you plug a 3A charger to a phone that limits the amount of current at 1.5A, it will charge at 1.5A. In our case, the limit on M4 Aqua is 1.5A . :)

By the way, i use 2.5A charger, from the start when i bought the phone, more than 6 months ago. Battery life still the same for me. :D
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] diyar95:
Oh thank you now I'm sure ?

Hi all,

Just rooted my oneplus 3 and my camera isn't working - the view finder shows up but it doesn't save any pictures I'm taking . I'm on stock with xposed . Build prop edited to set dpi to 420. Someone at oneplus forums reported this issue and solutions pointed at not touching the build prop file.

Has anyone here had this problem?

I have tried clearing data and cache for the camera app
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Joyo-rocker:
Nope never had this problem.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] lordvj:
Flashed the 3.2 update. Camera is OK but dpi is back to 480 . will try changing it and report back
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] lordvj:
No luck. Changing the dpi from le dpi chnager did not work for any of the methods mentioned in the app. Changing it manually from the build prop also doesn't help
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] AtaurRaziq:
I've got the same problem, difference is my videos don't save
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] omkarroxx:

I've been regularly checking, and it's now been over a year and we still haven't gotten any news regarding getting the same service over here. Whenever I try to sign up for it, it won't let me due to the fact that I'm based in the UK. Is there a way I can use the service despite being in the UK? I haven't found a guide with steps on how to do so anywhere...

If not, do you know of any other unlimited (<- important) cloud services that come close to Amazon's US offering in terms of price and quality?

Finally, I know XDA's probably not the ideal place to ask, but I know that you guys know your stuff, if you're stumped though, which other forums should I try?

Hi!

I used to have no problems with this situation on any of my previous phones:

In apps that uses gps, like runkeeper, i get very fast gps lock.. but, then, once I disconnect the screen, the "location" seems to be turned off.. The gps track stops counting. When I turn the screen on again to check what is happening, the phone instantly gets gps lock and registers that new spot. Basically what happens is that I will get a track but, instead of having the full track, I only get "straight" lines between the points the gps locked when i turner the screen on to check what was going on..

I have the location in high accuracy..

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Köppchen:
I have the Impression there is a different location provider for the new chipset. When i am at places without any gps signals (for example a tunnel) the reported location is moving with the same speed and direction i had before coming into the tunnel. There also a change in my Google location history. When the screen is off it looks like the location is provided by phone cell only. The reported location is more than 300m away from my real location. I have not seen this in the same locations with my older phones. (Edit: All with Oyxgen OS 3.1.2)

The gps loses the fix right after you leave the app that uses it. It doesn't work in the background, I'm gonna have to return my phone sadly.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] bkeaver:
So does this happen with the newer firmware? Can you put it in the background with the screen on and it run? It seems like a software issue more so than hardware, maybe I'm wrong but who knows..
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] progosu:
obviously a software issue, but they won't fix it since nobody talks about it. If you switch to another app that doesn't use GPS or turn off the screen the phone loses the fix right away.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Köppchen:
Still happens with Oxygen OS 3.2.0
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] michi491:
Can you give a try launching a nav session in google map. On my lg G2, when I get a fix in google map then turn the screen off, I will loose my fix. But if I launch a turn by turn nav session I will keep my gps fix even if I turn the screen off.

Could this be related to doze hibernating Maps or whatever app /?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 6652601:
Yes. This is likely related to the aggressive Doze mode that has plagued users in receiving notifications. Try disabling Doze by following the instructions in the link below and try GPS again. If it works, then Doze is the cause.

[Zenfone 2 Laser General] sziraqui:
Update: Now you can download the updater-scripts from Android file host. Zip contains two updater-scripts [updater-script_Z00E-R for ZE500KL/G and updater-script_generic for other variants]

You were running a custom ROM but at some point of time you decided to go back to stock. Unfortunately, you do not have a TWRP backup. Or probably there is an official update but you can't flash the FOTA because you are running a custom ROM. One way of flashingf FOTA would be to flash stock recovery from fastboot and then downgrade to a lower firmware (say the last lollipop fota) and then flash the new update (say MM fota). many a times, update fails at verifying system image! Then you have to do everything again. Maaaaahhhhhhhnnnnnnnnnnn. This is so painful.

Solution? Just by editing the updater script of any ota, you will be able flash it via TWRP. But then you probably don't know what to edit. Moreover, if you edited it incorrectly, you may hard brick your device. So here I have edited updater-scripts for you. Just delete the updater-script from your ota zip and add edited updater-script for your device to the zip. Flash via TWRP recovery. Simple!

INSTRUCTIONS & DOWNLOADS

ZE500KL & ZE500KG

Usage:

Upgrade to MM without reverting to stock lollipop

Downgrade to any stock firmware version

Go back to stock

Recover from failed custom ROM installs

Download updater-script_Z00E-R (link changed to mediafire)

[NOTE: Rename it to "updater-script" ]

A proof that this works is here​

All other variants

Edited updater-script for these devices will only flash system and boot. You have to flash last lollipop update and then only you can upgrade to MM

But there's is one benefit of this over other methods. You don't need to find and flash stock recovery!

How?

> Flash last lollipop update that your device was running using the edited updater-script.

> Reboot device and Do all the set up.

> Reboot again but this time INTERRUPT the reboot by holding power button till screen turns off.

> Asus Logo will appear again. Allow Rebooting this time.

> Voila! Your stock recovery is back. You can upgrade to MM now using the regular method.

( All FOTAs contain back up stock recovery but not in .img form. A failed boot causes auto installation of this stock recovery back up)

Other Usage:

Go back to stock

Downgrade to any stock firmware version without affecting bootloader and modem

Recover from failed custom ROM installs

Download link: updater-script_generic (link changed to mediafire)

[NOTE: Rename it to "updater-script"]​

Don't forget to hit thanks :)

Why the can't I make updater-script for these variannts the way I made for ZE500KL/G ?

There are 6 variants (excluding ZE500KL/G) . Each variant has 3 sub variants. Each sub variant comes with upto 4 SKUs.

Every FOTA contains critical firmware files like aboot, hyp, etc of all variants and cross-flashing these would hard brick. Hence, the edited updater-script_generic will only flash system and boot.

.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] kunalchitara:
Thanks man. It would really be helpful.

Hit Thanks If I Helped
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] luca020400:
Just no, it will cause many devices to flash wrong firmware leading to non working display and/or modem

TWRP label the device Z00T or Z00L unlike asus that for every variant ( ZE/ZD 550/551/600/601 ) they label it in a different way

This label is checked by the updater-script to flash the proper firmware and modem ( ex, it checks if the display is fhd or hd, check soc msm8929, msm8939, msm8916 )

Ex you have Z00L with the following specs: soc msm8939 && codename ZE600KL -> your script will flash msm8916 firmware and ZE551KL modem probably totally bricking the device

Remove the download links as fast as you can
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] kunalchitara:
Device- Z00LD

What I did- unpacked the MM OTA zip via 7zip.

Replaced the MM updater-script from MM OTA.

Repacked it.

Wiped everything through TWRP prior flashing it.

(Was on stock latest LP)

Flashed it.

But, while flashing was in process, it ended up with following line-

Updater process ended with signal: 11.

Overall, it simply didn't work

[Zenfone 2 Laser General] sziraqui:
Well, just to check if it works, I flashed RR ROM and then Flashed Stock MM ota with edited updater-script. My phone booted up without any problem (ASUS_Z00L_63)

I know, custom ROMs label our devices differently. On RR, there was not ro.product.device=, line/ The updater -scripts will flash firmware-update package only if ro.product.device= is the same as that labeled by asus.. For all variants ro.product.device= have a suffix "ASUS_" which is completely differnt than what is provided by cm/rr/beanstalk and any other custom ROM. Just beacuse I respect you a lot, I am removing download links for now and I will look at all possibilities of brick. If found, i will remove the radio part of the script so that users don't end up flashing incorrect firmware. Thanks

edit: Just forgot to mention, I have modified the updater-script to prevent brick. Its 100% safe now.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] luca020400:
Modem is the easiest problem to fix, but if you flash wrong firmware it will be a big problem
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] sziraqui:
By "radio" I meant lines of the script below "radio works" line. In short, removing entire firmware package update part of the script, so that it only flashes system and boot. But then this will it be only for those who want to revert to a stock firmware version that was flashes on their device at some point in time. Still useful
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] SoNic67:
I think that the ideea is not bad. But sure, some checks should be in place.

I had to go back to stock several times just to get the latest baseband. It would be easier to flash the stock via TWRP - instead of flashing the factory recovery, factory firmware and then fastboot to go back to TWRP.

Would also help if we could get the newest baseband some other way - (like form OP links).
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] sziraqui:
Look at my signature, I have made a thread which has TWRP flashable baseband for all variants

ZE551KL : 1.16.40.763, TWRP and Rooted

Thank you!

This worked GREAT for me to get the original recovery back.

When I tried to go directly to MM, I got a message that the Lollipop version is older thatn 0416 - so I guess I first have to do the other version that I skipped......AAAUHH!!

THEN I need to figure out howto get root and TWRP back (to remove the bloat and stuff).

Thanks a million!
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] long2ski:
Can you tell me a little more detail of what you did to get stock back. I was on Marshmallow stock on ze551kl, went to cm13, and tried to get back to stock by doing this:

1. rebooted into twrp recovery, wiped dalvik, cache, and installed the last lollipop Version WW-1.17.40.1531 that I was running prior to cm 13 (as the OP directions said. (I had unzipped the official Asus firmware with 7zip on my PC, deleted the updater script, renamed the generic updater to updater-scipt and put it in the same folder, then rezipped with 7zip.) The zip is on my external sd card.

2. It booted and got to the welcome screen but everytime I went to go through setup, it rebooted. One time, it did say android is upgrading (with only 5 apps so I know that's not right), then the same bootloop started again.

3. I tried the same technique with the MM update just to see if it would work and I get an error right away so I know that is not going to work.

Luckily twrp still is my recovery and I was able to install my backup of cm13.

Any suggestions? Should I try rolling back to an earlier version? Is unzipping and rezipping not the way to do it? I am open to any ideas you may have. Thanks!
