Well put! That's exactly the problem. And it's very user-unfriendly.

I wish there was an EU law that forbids them to do that.
[BlackBerry Priv] ZeDestructor:
Inded.

And for the record, the Nexus approach is also pretty bad, because it only allows Google-signed stuff to run when enabled. Literally no way to insert your own keys :(
[BlackBerry Priv] russsland:
was looking here for root option, but thanks to you realised "that's why I ordered this phone, to stop rooting and uninstalling/installing things to gain privacy".

you right, this phone is about privacy, not about keyboard for android users. :good:
[BlackBerry Priv] Shani Ace:
Does Blackberry not understand that that's not what people want?

But I guess you're just joking anyway. I mean come on, Blackberry and 'experience in making secure software platforms'? Seriously? They made that into their image but the truth is Blackberry's whole concept was unsecure from the start. Why do you think it was such a huge security issue with that Obama wanted to use his Blackberry as president? Blackberry is really the opposite of secure.

Besides, not having root access over my own phone is a security risk in itself, because I can't control everything that Blackberry does with it.

Not even a good one, just any keyboard is enough. The Priv's keyboard is actually way inferior to every other Android (or even Windows Mobile) keyboard smartphone I had.

Actually, I'm done with the Priv. It's such a bad device:

you can't root it, which means you can't use tons of great features that are out there (there are some specific ones I need)

you can't install a decent ROM on it

you can't get rid of the Blackberry bloatware

the BT stack is crap:

1. when I put on a jacket and have my phone in my trouser pocket, the audio gets interrupted the whole time. We're talking about a distance of 50cm! Any other phone and my PC can go up to 10m without any interruptions

2. sometimes it executes A2DP commands (Play/Pause, Next/Previous Track), sometimes it doesn't

the radio is generally bad, sometimes I get no reception at all where I got good reception previously or with other phones

the whole device is too big, you can't navigate it with one finger

the device is too angular and very unergonomic - making a phone call gets painful after a few minutes

So that's why I decided to sell my Priv and just recently bought a S6 Edge instead. Because that one has an official keyboard cover, plus there is also the SlimType cover from One2Touch. That Samsung phone is not ideal either, but it can't be worse than the Priv.
[BlackBerry Priv] dapgo:
It is a pity that Blackberry doesn't understand that some users don' need/want this secure/corporative phones. Just a device with a proper keyboard, an OS which can be rooted, install custom ROMS, stop the Google ****, maybe be able to install sailfish, etc....

There is no proper physical keyboards in the Android world, they could sell devices just because that, but if a keyboard means sacrifice freedom and control, at least I will not pay for it.
[BlackBerry Priv] santimaster2000:
I would love to be able to voluntary give up my warranty in order to get root.
[BlackBerry Priv] RAMChYLD:
The reason I got a Priv is because of the world multi 4G radio and the keyboard, and that it runs Android. Security just a side thing. But now Blackberry has announced that the Priv has been EOLed, and even worse, we're not getting the Nougat update we were promised. The thing I'm really pissed off about is the empty promise regarding the Nougat update AND some apps are just dropping support for Marshmallow. If I'm intepreting the VLC changelog page for 3.0.0 right, we're not able to run this on anything older than Oreo? (It says 4.4 -> 8.0, which I take means that the minimum Android OS support has been increased from 4.4 to 8.0? On the other hand, it looks like they're dropping XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1 support as well since Windows requirements read XP -> 10? That's a death wish if you ask me).
[BlackBerry Priv] elchmartin:
i will have the opportunity to check out a priv in some days.

coming from oneplus3t I am curious what it will feel like :D

i guess there is still no way to root ... so no adaway. dns66 might fill this gap.
[BlackBerry Priv] Kyle M.:
Here's my shot in the dark, but please take it with a pinch of salt, I'm probably wrong about this.

There's a youtuber who lives in Shenzen, he loves messing about with his iPhone and the other day he replaced a flash memory on the motherboard to upgrade to 128GB using tools which apparently weren't so hard to get (microscope, heat gun, solder paste, solder template, some spare chips, chip reader...).

Say someone has these tools, hypothetically they could pull out the eMMC from a priv and replace it with either a reprogrammed one, or (if the P/N match), one from a different phone. Can someone with SoC expertise shine some light on this please?
[BlackBerry Priv] gmirz2005:
Unfortunately, even disoldering the eMMC chip won't work. The data is encrypted and only God knows where the hell the decryption key is stored and how much will it take to crack the password, maybe even 10000+ years depending on what kind of algorithm was used to encrypt the data. You can't even modify the OS that you can download to reload as everything is being checked by DTEK chip inside the PRIV and CoT chip. There is no way to solve this fast. It will be a very long proccess. If someone has the time, then do it. But I write all this from PRIV and I am interested in all this too, but I don't think that it will be cheaper than just buying a new phone...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tudorv:
*I will try to provide as much information as I can, so this will probably be a long post. Sorry!*

Hi,

I've bought a used HTC One M7 from Ghana because I needed a replacement phone while I was working there. I noticed it didn't have a factory ROM on it, but I figured I would change that anyway. So I bought it.

First problem with it was a well documented issue with HTCs and their conflict with Google Play Services which resulted in the malfunctioning of voice calling. Since it wasn't a stock ROM, i was unable to get the OTA updates that eventually fixed this bug.

So I decided to flash a custom ROM on it.

The phone had SuperCID and was S-off. It turns out it was a US Sprint version, although its back cover had an ATT logo. Who knows what was done to this phone. Anyway, since I am far from being an expert at flashing custom ROMs and custom recoveries, I asked a friend to help.

He managed to install TWRP and a Cyanogen 12 nightly ROM (12-20151108-NIGHTLY-m7spr) but in the process something must have happened because now, even though the phone works fine and boots fine, it doesn't recognise my sim card and there is no network signal.

When I realised that the baseband, IMEI, MEID, ICCID and a few others said "unknown" instead of their values, i dug through this forum and concluded that the EFS partition must have been erased or damaged in the process. (is there a way to confirm that?) There was no backup, obviously.

I have read bits and pieces of information about this problem, but nothing that seemed helpful in my particular case.

I can't flash any other ROM on it because it says the MD-5 file is missing or something like this.

So I am stuck with an almost working phone, and no solution to my problem. I even called HTC service and they said they will not fix a phone sold in the US, since I live in Romania.

So this is basically my only hope of getting this phone to work again. If even possible. So, please, in layman terms, what can I do?

Thank you!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
First of all, sprint phones are CDMA phone. Once the sim is unlocked, it will work on GSM but you'll not get full connectivity i.e probably no LTE.

Is the IMEI MEID and Baseband correctly displayed when using "fastboot getvar all"? Also post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (don't shate your imei and meid). Sometimes, flashing a RUU can fix this problem, in some other cases its caused by an hardware defect.

And btw, HTC phone does not have an EFS partition.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tudorv:
Thank you for your reply. I will get the information you mentioned and I will reply again as soon as I have it. If the HTCs don't have that partition, then this gives me a bit of hope, since I am sure that the baseband, IMEI and all the others were there before I flashed the CyanogenMod. So it might not be a hardware issue.

Thanks!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tudorv:
Sorry for the delay. Overworking and having to do everything on a Mac makes these things a bit harder. Basically I have to read tutorials for every step I do. So..

I finally was able to get the fastboot command a try. You were right. The IMEI and MEID are there, but the baseband is not. What does that mean? Flashing a RUU will fix this? Can you point me to the right RUU to flash so I don't brick this troublesome phone?

Thank you again for your help. If anybody else has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Thanks!

Here's the fastboot result:

[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] CanWo:
Hey guys!

Anyone got the original TouchWiz Galaxy S6 Standard UX Theme, like it was in Android 5.1.1.

That's how it looks: img-developer.samsung.com/images/sdktools/stheme/theme_service_02_en_151221.jpg

I like the blue quick toggles with the green highlights much more, than the blue-white ones.

Since the Update to Adroid 6.0 it was replaced by the white toogles and i find the old original nowhere in the internet.

In my opinion the theme store hasn't anything similar to the original theme, because none of them including the blue-green quick toogles.

I like to have it back, so it would be great, if anyone has it or knows where to download it.

Greetings

Theres no backup :(
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigiGoon:
You have to flash the files extracted from B371's UPDATE.APP, the files you need to flash are system.img, boot.img, cust.img, recovery.img

and after doing that, do the famous three button update with that UPDATE.APP only.

Hope this helps. :D :D
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zinko_pt:
Unroot if he has root.

Extract System.img, Boot.img and Recovery.img from B370 and flash them manually.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Szumy:
How? Any tut pls
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigiGoon:
Follow below steps and you are good to go:

Download your phone's latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.

Boot into bootloader mode by switching off the phone then pressing only the Vol DOWN button, and connecting it to PC simultaneously.

Flash recovery first, using this command.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img

After doing this put that very UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD.

Switch off your phone, and press Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously.

Your device will now get to the full stock firmware.

NOTE: If the manual flashing doesn't works or you get any errors, then first try only the force update method, i.e Putting the UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD and pressing Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously after switching off your phone.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zinko_pt:
Go to SuperSU and in settings select full unroot.

Reboot the phone and check the unroot with some app you might have installed that requires root privileges.

Extract recovery.img from update.app file inside of B370 zip update file.

Install minimal ADB and fastboot in your PC

Install latest Google ADB driver

Reboot your PC.

Connect your H7 to PC.

Reboot H7 into fastboot mode.

Copy recovery.img to ADB fastboot folder in your PC.

Run ADB in your PC.

Run ADB commands:

fastboot devices

- should reply with a device (yours)

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot reboot

Copy the update.app from B370 zip file to a "dload" folder in your phone. Either in root of SDcard your root of phone.

Turn off phone.

Press simultaneously vol+- and power until you see any screen. Should be the update screen. It will update then reboot.

Factory reset and your done.

Please boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot. It might take a bit longer to boot but if does not boot for 15, 20 minutes then you are in bootloop again.

Probably because either of these:

1 - still using TWRP recovery - need to flash stock recovery.img

2 - corrupted boot.img - flash cust, boot, recovery and system img files from CURRENT B1xx or B3xx ROM update file.

Hi!

I have the same problem like the one guy above me that after i did everything right imho i am stuck in a bootloop. All the time phone reboots and i only see honor logo ever. I can boot in fastboot mode but ADB devices doesnt find my honor 7 anymore (adb devices) so i can not repeat the steps in the guide and try again. It also doesnt want to go the the recovery when i press vol+- and power at the same time - only a bootloop.

What should i try next? I cant even turn off the bootloop and will have to wait till battery is drained

PS: i used the 4 files from the update.app inside the stock b130 rom for nordic region i am in.

I could turn of phone somehow with pressing vol+ and power. took a long time to work i dont know the sec you need to press

I had not yet pre-ordered the 7 when I saw this promo. I just went to the store Sunday and, interestingly, they first gave me the Tab A and told me they didn't have the E in stock. Then they called around and found a store with one in stock. It's not a great tablet, but solid enough. Basically, you keep a $10 per month data plan in place and you then get a credit against the monthly EIP. Bottom line is you get the tablet for free. The E comes with Marshmallow installed and a slightly better processor and larger battery. If they try to give you the bait and switch, I'd stick with the Tab E.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Snowleopard1900:
I went to the T-Mobile store to order my Note 7 and they had the Tab promo also with the Tab E's in stock so I got a Tab E for $10/month with 2gb data, probably hot spot it off the Note 7 since I have 6gb on the Phone's data plan. I use the Tab E as an 8 inch GPS on a Ram Mount in the vehicle. I was using a Note Pro 12.2 but that is the worst tablet I have ever had. It has over heating issues running basic apps.. So far the Tab E is working great, But I don't like the really low PPI of the screen on the Tab E. It stinks.
