I used MEGA-THREAD ALE-L21, ALE-L23, ALE-L02, Converting, Root, Unbrick, Updating, Xposed - chapter 4: Unbricking but didn't work. Then I tried to revert to B052, but as I wrote before, I had Sokkoban's ROM and after a factory reset, I had B052 with emui 4.0 installed. If you know a working procedure to return to the official build, I suggest you write a guide. :)
[P8lite General] Yoshikage_Kira:
By the way do you have nandroid backup of official rom? If yes restore it via twrp. This could save you a lot of time. The method I used isn't difficult but it takes time.

On sokoban's rom. Flash the original recovery (recommend that you extract it from the firmware you are going to flash).Use the oldest one (link given below) emui 3.1/Android 5.0 for dual sim

Now put dload file in sdcard/internal memory and upgrade the phone.

If you have balong bug put dload2(rename it to dload) folder in sdcard/ internal memory and upgrade.

Now later you may upgrade to Android 6.0/emui 4

No, I used TWRP backup.

When I tried to extract the images from an official ROM (I have done so many attempts that, I cannot remember which ROM I used), I was able to flash 3 out 4 files. The one I couldn't was the system. When I tried through classic (dload etc), It got stuck at 2% and would give me an error.

But that's all in the past. lol

At this moment, my phone is at the service center with no warranty cause my wifi adapter is not working. From what I've heard, such ptoblems, need mainboard replacement and I cannot afford it at this moment. So I am going to stuck with this phone till it's dead, and of course not going to install any ROM, just because I cannot update anything..... cheers!!! :)
[P8lite General] :
Well tbh, you can simply convert the system.img using simg2img.exe and then make a flashable zip.

then you can install the system.img withing recovery
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sikas:
Hello All,

I have two questions:

1) I want to temp root my device as I need to get some files that are found within the system files (to be more specific, whatsapp files), and I don't want to use 3rd party applications. How can I achieve this without using SunShine as I won't be able to pay?

2) I want an application (Firewall) to allow/deny application access to internet, mainly on 3G .. I've used NetGuard but it is rubbish! all applications are able to access the internet normally.

So, which firewall application do you recommend to download that works fine on a non-rooted, stock Marshmallow M8?

Android Version: 6.0

HTC Sense Version: 7.0

Software Number: 6.12.401.4

Build Number: 6.12.401.4
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
You could try NoRoot Firewall, though it does work by creating a local VPN, so it will only work as long as you don't require any OTHER VPNs. This should work just fine, though at a possible performance penalty, since the routing is handled in userland software.

If you are willing to root your device, you can use the internal iptables in the kernel, which is much, much faster. I personally use AFWall+ to configure it, but most "Android Firewalls" that require root are basically front-ends to iptables.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I strongly disagree. If a user can't handle the typical (and fairly easy) root process of unlocking the bootloader, flashing custom recovery TWRP, and flashing SuperSU; then they have no business having root privileges.

A great many things can go wrong with root. And when that happens, you better know how to revert those changes, or return to stock. That means (at a minimum) knowing how to use an RUU and fastboot. And may even mean knowing adb, how to restore stock TWRP backups, and a whole lot more.

I wasn't familiar with Anyrooter before. Looking at the website, they want $40 US to root your phone.

For something that can be done easily yourself for free

. Plus, the website has no phone number, and no physical contact address. Looks really sketchy. Borders on a scam to me, or at least a shameless money grab. Will they even give you your money back if the root fails? Doesn't say on their website, that I can find.

And is Anyrooter going to help you restore your device, if/when something goes wrong? I highly doubt it.

"Fast" and "easy" (and expensive) methods will never replace proper research and learning, and using the proper tools.

---------- Post added at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 AM ----------

That is just plain false. As I've already mentioned, a great many things can go wrong messing with root privileges. You better know how to revert the changes. And that means at a minimum, knowing how to use RUU (if one exists for your M8 version), but may also mean how to use TWRP (unlocked bootloader required) and how to restore stock TWRP backups.

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

If you want temp root, kingroot (which is free) may be your best bet. But from what I've seen, results have been mixed. Do your research. Kingroot may also fail, and cause the system to be flagged as "Modified". So you better know how to revert those changes. At a minimum, know how to RUU; and whether and RUU exists for your M8 version, and OS number.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
So if the root doesn't work, or some change done under root privileges causes the phone to stop booting to OS, what you are going to do then??? If that isn't a concern to you, then it should be.

"Safe" is subjective. Of course, this AnyRooter service would like you to think its "safe", so they can take your $40. But you should be asking them, what their recovery plan is, if the root attempt results in no OS. Or if they will refund your money, if they can't root the phone.

And "easy" is not always "best". In fact, it seldom is.

Feel free to throw away your money if you want. But this device is rooted rather easily for free, by anyone that can follow instructions and willing to spend a little time gaining some knowledge. Knowledge that is crucial when things go wrong (and they will, eventually, if you play with these phones enough).

What's worse is that Sunshine leaves you S-off/bootloader unlocked for $25. These folks are charging $40 for root only.

Hi,

I installed a wrong update with root on, now the device is blocked at logo.

I can go in fastboot mode and the phone is unlocked. I tryed to flash some stock roms pe UL00 but always the same problem, stuck at logo. Any ideas? am i doing something wrong?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigiGoon:
Fllow these steps as you were rooted:

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 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zinko_pt:
You got wrong recovery and boot files flashed. You need to flash previous ROM boot and recovery img files.

If you had previously root and TWRP, reflash TWRP again. If you update stock ROM (or partitions) in a rooted ROM it will bootloop. Need to remove root first and then flash stock recovery.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Split74:

Back after some times.. i sent the smartphone to Huawei support to fix the problem. After 2 months they sent it back saying "chinese firmware" we can't repair it. I'm so disappointed and angry. Worst support ever.

So now i'm on my own again trying to fix my smartphone.

With the metod you told me i keep get stuck on Honor logo at startup.

I can flash twrp. i tried to install a custom rom with twrp but i get stuck on Honor logo too =( For sure i'm doing something wrong but i dont know what.

I get my firmware here: "w³.needrom.com/download/honor-6-pe-ul00/#" i took the first one on top

then used the metod you told me with minimal adb and fastboot tool

Hi,

I installed a wrong firmware on my device, then i tried to restore wiping all and re flashing the stock firmware without any success.

Finally i used DC-Phoenix tool and it worked! It failed the normal install via fastboot flash. Then it started an install via backdoor and now i got this:

That 2 imei codes are quite strange.

I think i have a memory partition problem too. I can't see all my interna storage of 16gb:

Tot is 11.. out of 16. I tried a factory reset and an internal memory format with twrp but nothing.

When i wipe with TWRP It says something like: can't find "data/something", no such directory.

Your internal storage is fine. It does show 16GB at the top but the 11GB is what's left after system takes its share of the memory. You can see mine.

As for the IMEI its no big deal. Mine look the same. Unless it's different from the one on your retail pack. If it ain't broke. Don't fix it.

Glad you got your phone working.

Hello,

I use MMSLite for MMSs (in Japan with Softbank). This program, when you install it, creates a 3G connection for send/download messages, named "MMS".

I need to edit and/or remove it. But this connection is not shown in "Settings\Connections\Manage existing connections", so I can't edit this connection. Is possible to "unhide" this connection and/or delete it?

Thanks!

So you're saying that you want to uninstal MMS Lite? How did you install it?

As far as I know, you can't Edit it in anyway because you need the 3G connection to get the MMS messages. Otherwise, you won't be able to recieve them.

Not sure what you want to do exactly! Please explain more

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] NEXUS 4G:
I have an XTRONS TD696A that came with Android 4.4.4. I upgraded it to 5.1, using Malaysk Roms and it operates great. Minor issues though is my DVD player no longer works. I'm not sure if it's the app that's missing, or something else. Also, i have the same MIC issues as the rest of them. I opened mine up to have a look at separating two microphones, 1 to codec, 1 to BT. But where some have C32 capacitor and C102. I seem to have a realtek chipset instead. I'm wondering if anyone had been able to do the modification on an hzc unit, and if so, where did they separate them. I will add pictures shortly. Any help on where I should be modding will be greatly appreciated, thanks!!!

*Edit* if anyone had the apk for the DVD player from the stock firmware could they please upload it, so I can see if that fixes my DVD not functioning problem.

The solder circled on the bottom right corner of the chip has continuity to the internal mic, as well as the BT mic+. It also seems to be connected to the external mic through the provided connector on the rear of the unit. The second picture is the same area just zoomed out.

I have this unit and did the mic mod by breaking the connection at the BT board and soldering a new external mic jack. I can't remember where the post was that I used as a guide. It was really simple though and phone calls seem to be crystal clear.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan.hoehn:
I "reposted" the question to the forum "Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking ".

Scenario:

- I have a Nexus 6 (shamu) with Android preview: the version of the OTA is NPD90G. (Android beta)

- Yesterday it crashed right after it lost radio signal (this used to be a common problem for me but when it crashed it came back again fine for me)

- Now when it boots it asked for my personal pin, then the animation makes its first round and at the end of the second round it stops and it reboots.

-- This is what it looks like for a moment: www andreaundstefanhoehn de / nexusboothang.jpg (cannot post urls at the moment)

-- Removing the simcard has no effect

-- I wiped the cache partion

- Of course :( I do not have a backup of my data

- Of course the device is locked

- The last message in the log_kmsg is "SELinux: initialized...

What I did:

- I tried the famous "Fix Dead Android in Recovery Mode" but it doesn't help

- After many tries I understood I can update my device with "adb sideload"

-- after searching around a lot I even found the firmware NPD90G and I was successfully to reinstall the firmware.

-- For those who are desperately looking for that version as it seems not to be listed anywhere, here is the still working link: storage.googleapis.com /androiddevelopers/shareables/preview/ota/ shamu-ota-npd90g-06f5d23d.zip (cannot post urls at the moment)

-- Unfortunately even after reinstalling the firmware, it still stops at the same point

-- I tried to unlock the device with "fastboot oem unlock" but it tells me to check "allow oem unlock" in Dev Options which 100% likelyhood is not checked

- Run graphics test results quickly "error", then in a dead android image, then saying "erasing" and then saying "installing system update" but it doesn't fix the problem

Questions

- Does anyone know what the actual issue is that the device stops?

- Is there any newer OTA for shamu I could use? Is there maybe a final Android N for shamu somewhere available?

- Given the above situation, is there any chance I can access files on my device?

- Any other option I have, except factory reset (and wiping my data)?

I really put a lot of effort in it (and learned a lot) but I only got that far. I wished there are other options?

Thanks in advance for helping,

Stefan
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Gugica:
So I have Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (G935F) and I really dislike all the bloatware Samsung puts on their devices.

So I installed Custom ROM to get rid of it. More specifically I installed Efficient ROM which let me choose which apps i want to have on my phone.

Being sick of preinstalled apps I selected all of them to not be installed. Along with default Clock App.

Which at first didn't bother me at all since I could install Google Clock app from the Play Store.

But my problem started when I wanted to use alarm feature. Though app is very well adopted by the system (the alarm icon even appears on the AOD which I did not expect), when I clean all open apps

it also shuts down my clock app. Which is really bothering me since Alarm does not work when app is not running.

I could just leave clock app opened in the apps menu, but it's annoying since I usually close the apps I don't currently use.

So my question is: What can I do to keep Google Clock running in the Background when i close it from recent apps? I have in mind feature that, for example, Facebook app has; that keeps you updated on notification even when you close it.

And that I don't forget to mention... There isn't any option to set Google clock as a default app on the default apps menu in settings.

I really don't want to flash ROM again just because of the stupid clock so if there is any solution I will be very grateful to share it with me.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Gugica:
OK i figured out that if I disable xposed, app stays opened. Anyone else experienced that issue with having xposed installed? I also find out that it's preventing Hangouts and several other apps to run in background as well, so I can't get any notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AaronAverage:
You could install xposed (if not already done) and download an app called App Settings. There you can set the app to be permanently running and/or hide it from the recent apps list.

Also, I don't think making it a system app will change anything as system apps, with a few exceptions, can also be closed from the recent apps just like user apps.

Edit: Just read you have xposed already installed. So just do as I said first, this way you can continue using xposed aswell as the clock app.
