[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rgao007:
So I'm looking to purchase a water damaged Mate 8. I figure if I can't fix it, I'll just use it as a display piece. The guy says that he dropped it in a bucket of water but immediately took it out and placed it in rice; however, the screen wouldn't work. He thinks it's still powering on because he can still hear the speaker making noises. Can this phone be fixed with a new digitizer and/or LCD? Thanks in advance.

[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MuPp3t33r:
I'm inclined to agree there. Given that the battery is non removable its likely that it continued to supply power to parts on the board which could have fried them. On the other hand, depending on the purity of the water (less mineral/salt content makes it less electrically conductive) the components could have survived. Even though it was placed in rice it may still have some moisture inside, if one were to open it up and dry it out thoroughly there's a potential revival.

But as stated by jbmc83, anything we tell you is purely speculation at this point...
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OcazPrime:
The Huawei Mate 8 is very easy to take apart. Inside its chassis is nothing more complicated than legos. Its also very easy to open up. If you can open it up i suggest looking to see what has water damage and ordering replacement parts here:

The mate 8 has amazing build quality but rice only goes so far. It cannot suck moisture through metal. U will need to open the phone up. If u need to u can buy a nice toolkit i highly recommend here:

[Chromebooks] Gabriel Brangers:
With all the talk of Android Apps coming to Chrome OS this fall it is easy to forget that Chrome OS, as it stands right now, is a very capable and reliable OS.

While we here at Chrome Unboxed have been eager to share and talk about all the advantages this change will bring, I feel it is necessary to also keep everyone aware that both Gabriel and I work completely from Chrome OS on a daily basis. As excited as I am about the Play Store coming to Chrome OS, I love Chrome OS just as it is, too.

The truth is, I’ll likely keep using my Chromebooks and Chromeboxes as I always have during work hours once these apps come around. Sure, I’ll begin adopting certain apps for work (and playing games like crazy after work, along with other entertainment fun that Android brings), but I know there are many services I’ll keep on using the web versions for.

And that’s why knowing how to make an app or webpage launch in a window is important. For some reason, things like Google Play Music or Spotify feel strange with the Omnibar and tabs up top. They feel much more native if all that is removed.

And you can do this for most websites and apps. Here’s how.

Hey guys

I rooted my 6p the other day and all seemed fine.

I went to flash temasek cm13 which caused some bugs so I wiped and installed cm13 instead but that crashed with the camera.

I then got into all sorts of trouble with a bootloop so flashed the stock firmware after factory reset using fastboot.

Then I flashed su in twrp but now I get an error no SU binary installed...

I've tried googling how to fix it but thought I'd get the best answer here :)

Can anyone please help?

Thank you!

[General Questions and Answers] IcelandicBastard:
What's up guys, developers and enthusiasts!

I am encountering a problem while on my mission to install Cyanogen Mod 12 on my Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 running android 2.3.5 . Remind that I have not messed with the stock firmware's on the device.

First of all I unlocked ROOT access on the device by using the Unlock Root program on the PC while the device was connected on USB. Success!! The device is rooted.

Next step was to install the software needed to communicate the device withc the PC: I installed the "15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3" from this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118). No problem encountered.

Then, when I tried to flash the latest 3.0.2 TWRP Recovery image file .img via command prompt using the ADB commands none could work (I followed this: http://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/). First it said no "kernel" nor "recovery" could be found. retrying only got me more errors like "no handshake!" and "unable to send data" . I do not suspect it being on the USB drivers since I installed several of them and they all error.

I then went on to try a different method, flashing the TWRP on ODIN v3.11 . I load ODIN, get my device to DOWNLOAD MODE and then connect it to the PC. The software shows the message "ADDED!!" on the output box, but when i try to load the .img file on the device it fails ! Any light on this issue to help me? Has someone passed through the same thing as me?

Thank you very much, you are reference in troubleshooting anything android related on the world!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajcinkcmo:
Data partition encryption prevents root without a .zip rom

You can disable frp lock by removing your Google account. This will allow you to flash twrp with Odin.

Disable auto reboot in Odin before flashing twrp. After flashing twrp you can reboot into recovery by holding power and volume down to turn the device off. Then once it's off hold volume up home and power to reboot into twrp.

Now the only problem is you can't flash supersu.zip without formatting data first from the twrp wipe data main screen. This is because the data partition is unavailable due to encryption. Formatting data partition removes encryption and allows you to flash supersu, but now device won't boot after formatting data unless you flash a ROM from within twrp. Only problem is that there are no such Roms yet.

If anyone could create a stock or custom ROM that is a flashable zip you'd be the MAN!

Until then I don't think we'll be able to root our device. :(

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kleptobismol:
I was having the same problem, but i figured it out last night. Without OTG cable, Odin, SideSync, Realtek, or a PC. I'd been messing with it for 3 days, so Im not 100% sure of what everything said and i'm definitely not going to relock it to try an duplicate it, but if you've been all over youtube then you've seen methods that require a wifi connection, (I found it easiest to use my phone's wifi hotspot) you disconnect your hotspot or unplug your router immediately when it says checking for software update, which appears after clicking accept on the privacy policy. (Again it's easier to just turn off the hotspot than to unplug your router" When done correctly it souls say "couldn't sign in" and then the next screen will either ask you to set up time and date or it asks you to add a name to the tablet (can't remember which is first) then asks to set up a screen lock passcode or pattern (set up either one), after doing all this 100 times I noticed it asked me if i wanted to set up a IMAP/POP3 account to use within the Gmail app (which I'd been skipping) but for some reason it didn't give me this option every time. You have to be connected to the internet for the next part so if you haven't already go ahead and turn your hotspot back on or router and add any email address other than a Gmail (I used my yahoo account) then follow through with the setup into it takes you back to the very first screen you see when you turned on the tablet. Now just turn the tablet screen off and back on (just the screen, do not power down the tablet) put in your lockscreen password and now In the top right corner there should be a little yellow icon which lets you switch users (if you see this, you've got it beat) now create a new user signing into your Gmail and Samsung accounts (if you don't have one, create a new account) once you're done with that it will take you to the home screen, pull down the notification bar and go into settings (notice since you're on an added user you can't factory reset the device) find "Users", and then switch back to the owner profile, it then tells you that you still need to set up the tablet to continue. Once i clicked okay it now let me pull down the notification bar to access settings, but this time you're on the owners account so you can factory reset it, go to "Back up and Reset" and then go ahead and factory reset it again. If done correctly the FRP will no longer be on the tablet.

Need a solution badly.."Invalid ID:Device ID must be a valid IMEI or MAC address."

"Invalid ID:

Device ID must be a valid IMEI or MAC address. Without device ID, some Mi Account and Cloud features won't be available."

then it goes for checking device status

Followed by this error:

Couldn't check the Find device status.

What l had done.

A month ago my mi3 started showing "insert sim card" though there was already one in the mobile, i thought that this because of newly "weekly update" but after next update it didn't solved, so i searched for the problem on google and this forum and i found that this problem is hardware one. So i went to the expert, he checked and said that the sim tray is running fine. Then again i waited for an update and it arrived but then again it didn't solved.

Finally i applied "Wipe & Reset" and came the disaster, miui 8 started in fashion but while i was in some elementary steps of selecting language and country I was encountered with this error--

"Invalid ID:

Device ID must be a valid IMEI or MAC address. Without device ID, some Mi Account and Cloud features won't be available."

and I finally stopped at MIUI ACCOUNT Details form.

Followed by this error:

Couldn't check the Find device status.

I reset it several times but the outcome is nil.

I even tried Flashing using Mi pc suite with "miui V7.5.6.0.MXDCNDE" it does nothing and repeated again and again except changing miui 8 (6.7) developer to miui 7.5 stable.

I have no EFS saved

Current status.

Is there anyone who can help and guide me.

So I got the update last night. Went smoothly. No problems. My daughter has the same exact phone. Tried updating tonight. Update fails to download. Says check network. Had her to do a factory reset. Tried again. This time, no upgrade found. Says she has the latest software..... Finally after trying everything I knew how to do I downloaded Mobile Upgrade Q 5.0 .0. Went through all the motions...for about an hour. Finally, says your phone has been upgraded and is ready for use. Yayyyy. Nooooo. She sets it back up but guess what....same EVERYTHING. I looked at the software...and it's STILL the same version. Checked software upgrade to see, says she has the latest version... It is definitely NOT the latest software.... she is running 5.0. something but I'm now running 6.0. something. What's didn't/won't it upgrade? We both have the same phone- purchased same day, everything... this is so frustrating.

I'm looking to see now, but unless it automatically saves, I'm sure I didn't- didn't know anything about being able to do that. :( (Just learned something)

I'm thinking though (woke me up from my sleep)...I don't know if my daughter ACTUALLY factory reset her phone because you have to use the little pin to remove your SD card, I don't believe she did that- she still had all her contacts. Now that could be why the Mobile Update Q 5.0.0 didn't take- even though it said it did.

Now I'm thinking, she probably didn't. She isn't tech savvy at all. Hopefully today she'll let me put my hands on it one more time, and I'll actually do it myself. Then if the update doesn't show on the phone, I'll try the Mobile Update Q again....

If that doesn't work I think we'll just end up taking it to the store we got it from...she may need a new sim.:(

Also, Mobile Upgrade Q 5.0.0 is not the newest version, it stays on Lollipop, use a newer version of Mobile Upgrade Q (preferably the newest version) and it should be on Marshmallow then, the reason your daughter has all her contacts is because contacts are linked with her Google account.
