[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Bopie:
Hi,

I have had to get a new phone and have decided on the honor 8 due to specs and vides i have watched, also the price it retails for was a big factor how ever i have come from the LG G3 (it set on fire -_-)

Is it worth me unlocking the boot loader and what exactly are the benefits to it ?

I will want to root the phone as i use apps that require this will i void warranty or will i be able to undo this and keep warranty ?

Also i do like the TWRP i had on my G3 but only for the backup option, is it worth me changing the recovery as i have noticed no custom roms anyway and by the looks there is a tool that i can use for backups ?

Thanks for reading :)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Unlocking bootloader won't get you much (only custom recovery now).

Honor don't void warranty if you unlock the bootloader or root the device

And for me, it's not worth to flash TWRP now, no custom ROMs and it doesn't work with all models
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Bopie:
perfect thank you for the response :) that everything i need to know, now im just waiting as i have 24 hours before my phone is delivered aha.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Enjoy :)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] jerryhou85:
Don't unlock your bootloader and just enjoy your phone as much as possible at this stage.

Unlock maybe 1 year later... :)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
If I have the honor 8, I will unlock it once there's a beta custom ROM
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] HonorCasper:
Same here, once theres Rom to flash, unlocking will happen:fingers-crossed:
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] HonorUSA_Noah:
We always warn our users, if you want to change the bootloader code or root the phone -- the warranty will be void. (NS)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Tmobilefan906:
Well...at least having root is a start. That way he can install root apps. It was like that on a few devices I had, but was grateful on at least having root. IMJS
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Yes especially when you can bring google assistant to MM through xposed
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] HonorCasper:
What is the benefits of Google assistant? It sounds like an annoying app that I would uninstall as fast as I can say "bloatware" :laugh:

But I don't know the app so that's why I'm asking:)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
No, it's integrated in the google app and it replaces now on tap.

Simply its "now on tap" on steroids
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] HonorCasper:
Nice, and I can get that with Xposed?????
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Yup, just xposed and android n-ify
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] simeon4real:
Does unlocking the bootloader or rooting increases flash count?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Tmobilefan906:
I didn't think honor had a "flash counter"
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] simeon4real:
Okay.thanks for your reply.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Almost all phone have a flash counter (modern ones) :)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Tmobilefan906:
I thought that only pertained to Samsung bootloaders. Sorry.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] simeon4real:
I Thought as much. That's how manufacturers checkmate warranty voiding
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Exactly
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] electrolt:
Please tell me exactly, do I loose warranty if I root my honor 8?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Ascertion:
No, Honor (the company) stated on the Reddit AMA that unlocking bootloader does not void the warranty.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Honor_Noah:
Unlocking Bootloader WILL void the warranty!

The above is not true. If you were to unlock the bootloader on your Honor 8 device, it

WILL

void the warranty. Please beware! [ns]
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zinko_pt:
Is there different warranty policies for EMEA and US?

Regarding bootloader unlock it might be different...
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Tmobilefan906:
Unlocking bootloader voids warranty as u are modding and altering partitions on your device. Now if there was a way to rid the "unlocked" on bootloader....
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Warranty will stay lost even if you relock it. :D
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zinko_pt:
This is so old thinking. Check OnePlus, HTC and Google.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Ascertion:
You need to find a source on this. This is from the Honor teams AMA.

Via http://www.reddit.com/r/android/comments/50ivz4/_/d74jia7
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Thanks for the clarification.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zinko_pt:
But Honor USA is contradicting this...
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Tmobilefan906:
Yea. Let's get this straight. Lol. I really want this device.

Hello everyone,

I have a problem, i got a Samsung Galaxy A3 (SM-A300FU) wich is fallen on the ground this resulted in a dead lcd and touch screen, the device is locked with a pincode, i allready got a new phone, but i would like to recover the files i got on that phone, is there anny way i could try?

- USB-debugging is DISABLED

- Tried a Delock connection kit 5 in 1 with HDMI (The phone plings as soon as i connect the HDMI to to connection kit, but it doesnt give signal)

- Samsung Kies software reconises the phone, but it cant access it because its locked.

If there is anny way that i could recover the data partically its also fine.

Regards,

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] PlutoDelic:
1.

Flash TWRP through download mode

. - power down with Power + Volume Down (emulates battery removal), wait a few second, boot in to

Download Mode

with Power + Home + Volume Down. Odin should show a COMx (x for number) sign and a

green

color on the slot. MAKE SURE YOU UNTICK

AUTO-REBOOT

, or else the stock recovery will reflash itself.

2.

Access Phone via ADB recovery

- After flashing the TWRP, power down again with Power + Volume Down and boot in to

Recovery Mode

with Power + Home + Volume Up.

You should now be able to "adb pull" files from the phone to the computer.

Minimal ADB & Fastboot

TWRP for A300FU (Odin included)

hi all,

I have done all the steps but the TWRP gives me a message of "unmodified sysetm partition", I can not see well from the broken screen but it seems to me this:

[IMG="screen example"]https://highonandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/howto-root-lgv20-38-720x410.png[/IMG]

obviously, due to the broken screen, I can not swipe, my pc recognizes and installs the smartphone drivers but if I run the command "adb devices" I do not see any connected any device.

Is it the fault of the swype I can not do? if there is an alternative to the swype to get over this screen?

thanks.

Sorry the problem was the pc and a old adb installation, change pc solved the issue
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] alex.do:
Just as mentioned above. I dont mind waiting but just wanna ask is there anybody able to get it already? I've done some google, some pages offer a very 'detailed' instructions like just install TWRP using fastboot method then flash the SuperSU binary then bingo!! Some others state unlocking BL is required. Since to me xda is the only reliable source so I guess I will be looking for answers here.

Cheers
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] tommy1616:
since the Z3+ and newer devices, root with lock bootloader is impossible at least for now.

btw, unlock bootloader is so easy for root, why not? Warranty?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] alex.do:
Well... DRM keys thing is what i concern. AFAIK im gonna have to give up some features if i lose it so...

Btw it'd be appreciated if u could share some posts about re-locking bootloader and backing up/restoring DRM keys, especially for this new Xperia XZ.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] tommy1616:
This kernel have DRM Patch

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz/development/kernel-andropluskernel-v01-t3475240

But.... If unlocked bootloader, DRM keys well loss

and no backup way in marshmallow with no root at the least
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] alex.do:
That's what im worrying haha. Guess i'll wait, patiently, for a talent shows up ;)

Someone just pls pls find a way to have it rooted without unlocking BL, or just a way to back up TA BEFORE unlocking for the sake of DRM keys sh!t then nothing would stop me from enjoying root :D
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] aidy.lucas:
I've been waiting for over 3mths for some progress on backing up the ta keys on all the x range(I have the xa) I don't see it ever happening to be honest and I've made the mistake of loosing ta keys before I won't be doing it again.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] 1st.qwerty:
this one works perfect, I was ordered about 20 pcs & I'm happy

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New...32423785994.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.WfBHbl
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] h0LLe:
when i ordered my replacement screen such a set was included in my package. i cleaned off the surface where the adhesive would sit really carefully and then mounted everything back together. put some pressure on the device while i finished the replacement. the next day i saw the display on one edge slightly popping out of the device. now i let 2 heavy marketing books sitting on it for a day to put some pressure on it again...

maybe adding some heat to the glue will help?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] 1st.qwerty:
The "glue", "adhesive tape" included with glass is rubbish. I have this same as You. I ordered only "adhesive tape" from link above, and the glass fits perfect.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] op3n:
super glue is da best
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Soldier2000:
I ordered the same kind of adhesive tape: http://www.ebay.nl/itm/For-Sony-Xpe...625890?hash=item3ac0da28a2:g:YOsAAOSwPcVVmUIn

Is this also rubbish? :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] op3n:
B7000 work perfectly. Glue with this and never open ur phone, guaranteed!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Crusheer:
Did you only use B7000 OR B7000 + adhesive tape? Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] op3n:
man..if u can apply, adeziv tape + b7000 will be perfect bcs if u apply only b7000 the back cover will be too inside. U can test without any adeziv and see how da cover fits on ur phone and by that u will know how is without ad tape. I applied b7000 only and i didnt liked. that remain to ur pleasures :)

Alt+Tab
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KruseLudsMobile:
SPB Pocket Plus

SPB Pocjket Plus has an alt+tab application included which I mapped to my Tilt's PTT button. Very handy (but not free!):

http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus/?en

It also and one other FANTASTIC feature that makes the whole package worth every penny - scrolling within ie and other applications. Check out the video in the above link.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ranj9119:
this excatly the spb pocket plus' alt+tab i extracted from the original SPB Pocket Plus 4.0
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chunga168:
hahaha, is this legal???

But who cares i guess... there were times when all i wanted was the alt tab feature... so thanks for doing that :)

And more.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] kalel77:

EDIT Sorry I have not seen the latest answers thank you

EDIT2 I'm on elementalX 7 can i flash over it?

I must flash Swap file changer after or before the EX Repack kernel?

Excuse for questions

Yes, you can.

No matter when you install "swap changer".
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Durrz:

[One (M8) Original Android Development] xXArisXx:
yea, it's not a CM13 Issue, the problem is in this kernel "ElementalX v 7.0.11", but I read in the previous posts that in the new version "ElementalX 7.0.12" the Wifi is fixed, SO I NEED IT NOW! :'( , is a good kernel the only fail is the Wifi...
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Zile995:
Again... This kernel is for Sense/GPE only.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] BL4CK_92:
you are one dense mofo. This kernel is not supposed to work with CM. So don't report issues and use a suitable kernel for cm.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Mikeybray16:
Does this kernel work on s.rom 2.0.1 sense 8 ? Much appreciated if someone could get back to me and let me know :)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] tunnex190:
Please I got a few questions to ask about this kernel.

I have already flashed the ElementalX Repack 7.00.11 and I don't seem to understand the swap file changer part.

1. This is the first time I flashed the kernel. Do I need to flash zipped swap file changer after?

2. After flashing the kernel, is it necessary to use a kernel manager for tuning? If yes, can someone help with EX kernel manager set up to get battery saving and good performance out of the kernel?

Thanks in anticipation.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] alex6600:
1. You need to flash swap changer before or after flashing the kernel.

2. If you want to change default options- use EX kernel manager.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] tunnex190:
Thanks. I'm going to flash the swap file changer now. Anything else I should know about after flashing? Cause I assume I don't need any other set up if the default options work perfectly
[One (M8) Original Android Development] alex6600:
Try to use phone without additional changes. If you don't like performance or battery - use ex kernel manager for tuning options.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] tunnex190:
Thanks. The performance is better. I can't say the same for battery saving
[One (M8) Original Android Development] geyenk:

[One (M8) Original Android Development] osidacarlo:
Im using wolla gpe rom. What swap file changer should I use along with the kernel? 820mb or 625mb?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] alex6600:
Use 820 for sure.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] osidacarlo:
Okay thanks!! For what roms should I use the 625 one? I'd like to know for future reference cos I always use ur kernel
[One (M8) Original Android Development] alex6600:
With 820 MB you have bigger swap = better multitasking.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Kyuubi10:
Hey dev,

Any reason KSM is disabled in this kernel?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] alex6600:
Are you need ksm?

Some of users reported more battery discharging with KSM enabled.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Kyuubi10:
Oh yeh, i'm aware of battery effects.

But on the M8 i'd prefer to have more efficient RAM use than worry about battery.

Just find it an interesting choice to completely remove it (although temporarily) as compared to keeping it turned off as default :)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] alex6600:
KSM is very hard to completely remove from sources.

Option disabled in defconfig.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Kyuubi10:
Is that something i can turn on myself prior to flashing the kernel, or will you have to make the change yourself then recompile kernel?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] alex6600:
Only after recompile.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Kyuubi10:
I see, any possibility of creating a version for me?

I'd be very grateful!

As long as it is not a bother!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] alex6600:
Here is link for .12 version with KSM enabled.

Test it. But make backup of you original installation. I don't have M8 to test this version of kernel.

Waiting for you feedback.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Kyuubi10:
Will feedback as soon as I have tested!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] DahakePL:
Can I flash the swap file long after using the rom and kernel?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] alex6600:
If you are using this kernel - you can and must flash swap file changer.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] DahakePL:
I'm using viper rom and this kernel but i didn't flash the swap file, so there won't be any problems at all if I flash this?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] alex6600:
Almost all ROM's using default zram driver and 4 zram devices.

In this kernel using backported zram version, with 1 device and 4 compression streams.

Because if you ROM using 4 zram devices- flash swap file changer.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] alex6600:
Any feedback about this version?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] kocher:
Thanks for this Kernel

I've flashed latest and works perfectly fine
[One (M8) Original Android Development] DahakePL:
Will magisk work with this kernel and viper rom?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Kyuubi10:
Sorry dev not yet, I've given my M8 to my aunt...so I need to find a time which won't inconvenience her.

Will let you know as soon as I test it.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] bradley_e_smith:
I am using this kernel with a GPE rom (Blue's stock - no root) and installed magisk and it works perfectly. If I disable the xposed and reboot it passes the safety check, with xposed everything I need works (needed magisk for AT&T uverse tv watching).
