[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] ksdug:
Hello, fellow Android hackers.

Short: I am trying to install CM on a L21, but fail booting into TWRP (getting only stock recovery).

What I did, working with a brand-new phone:

Unlock bootloader.

Flash TWRP 3.0.2.

Boot to TWRP. It worked.

Try flashing CM, which failed due to some failed assert. Googling revealed a thread on these forums which suggested I had to do a stock update to Marshmallow first.

Downloaded the update through EMUI's updater.

The updater booted to TWRP which aborted the installation because of a failed zip signature check.

I disabled signature checking and ran the installation again. It succeeded.

Tried to directly install CM over it. I got the error message stating I couldn't flash on top of incompatible data.

At this point, I probably should just have wiped system and flash CM, but for some reason I decided to boot to stock.

Here is where it all seems to have gone wrong. :D

Try to flash and boot to TWRP, like in steps 13 to 18.

Push the B340 UPDATE.APP to /sdcard/dload.

Start the phone using

power + vol down + vol up

.

I have verified that the phone is on B340 and the builtin updater won't find further updates.

(I have repeated this step and the following ones countless times.)

Boot to bootloader and flash TWRP. Yes, the command succeeds.

…$ sudo fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-kiwi.img
target reported max download size of 266338304 bytes
sending 'recovery' (45202 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.418s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.641s]
finished. total time: 2.059s

fastboot reboot

adb reboot recovery # boots to stock recovery

Boot to bootloader and flash TWRP.

Hold

power + vol up

I read that the duration holding the keys matters, so I tried this very often, but I always got to one of two different stock recoveries.

Factory reset and cache wipe with one of the two stock recoveries.

I also considered crushing the phone on the wall on multiple occasions, but then decided it would not help me with my goal.

Okay.

L21 with B340, how u boot to TWRP? -_-

Also, the two stock recoveries have the menu options "Download latest version and recovery, Reboot, Shutdown" and "Reboot, Wipe data/factory reset, Wipe cache partition".

I humbly thank everyone in advance who might have some contributions to share.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Romiui:
ok . as i understand ,

First Charge Ur Phone Up To 50%+

Second : Go Back To Stock L 5.0.1

Third : download The latest Nightly Version OF CM + Recovery Rom | Recovey

Forth : Flash Recovery Only Throw ADB if u got any error please Attach here if success Go to step 5

Fifth : Shut Down And HOLD Volume-up + Power As soon u see Honor logo Release Power But Keep Volume Rocked Pressed !

Last : Install The Cm After U already copy To SD Card .

Gd Luck ! .
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] thilak devraj:
i will presume that you are on stock recovery,

now go to honor 5x repository and download b320 firmware

now place it in dload folder and flash

now boot to bootlader and try flashing twrp

then do not directly boot to revovery

just do fastboot reboot

then now do adb reboot recovery

youl be with twrp and forst things first ,compulsarily do a backup

then now assuming that you have transfered layest cm to sd card,

first goto wipe , then select all except internal and external sd cards , then wipe

now install, you should be good to go,

i had your issue when i was on b34p, but b320 is a great base and supports all custom roms..try it
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] ksdug:
(I am sorry for not answering sooner, but I have a lot on my plate right now. :/ )

Thanks for the replies.

2: As I understood it I only had to upgrade to M in the first place to be able to install CM. The downgrade will not undo whatever happened there?

3: I am not sure that I understand what you're trying to say, but I know of no way to flash recoveries via ADB. The point is that, as posted in the OP, flash via fastboot allegedly succeeds and as soon as I boot to the recovery, I'm back to stock.

Thanks. I actually tried the dload method with B140 after writing this post, but it doesn't seem to work—same with B330 (the repo doesn't contain a B320 for L21). As far as I can tell, the dload install appears pretends to work fine: I'm getting a successful archive verification, an install meter and no error message. But the OS is not replaced.

I am uncertain if I need an actual microSD card—different sources seem to suggest different things here—but I generally would assume that, if there was no valid image in the right place, I would be getting an error message.

I am fine with whatever suggestion that wouldn't result in a brick. Data loss is fine, there's nothing on it. :D
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] muradulislam:
A dumb question but do you disconnect the phone from PC or Mac after flashing twrp, firing fastboot reboot and quickly press power and vol up to boot to twrp.

If you already did that, try unlocking command once more and then try flashing it...

You can also try

Fastboot boot twrp_kiwi.img

To boot directly to twrp without flashing.

Hope any of it works.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Romiui:
All recoveries can be Flashed throw Fast-boot ADB Boss :) .
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] thilak devraj:
glad you did it
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] ksdug:
I rephrased that part as it was unclear. I didn't manage to pull off a downgrade.

I did, but to no avail. Reunlocking had no effect either.

I love you. I had totally forgotten about that. Using the boot command I managed to install CM, but I still cannot replace the stock recovery. Maybe I'll try letting CM write its own recovery with its next update, but I guess I'll leave it at that. The only downside is that my dad now needs me for doing updates. :/

Thanks very much.

how to boot Honor 5x into TWRP

I know this is an old post, but since I tried for nearly a week to get my Honor 5x to boot in TWRP when pushing volume up + power button, I just wanted to post how I finally got it working, just in case anyone else should have the same problem...

1. First, I downloaded the latest stock rom. On my Honor 5x Android 5 (Lollipop) was installed, so I downloaded an Android 6 (marshmallow) stock rom. Make sure to get the correct version for your region (e.g. C432 for Europe). I found the correct rom file by simply googeling. If you are in a boot loop or do not have a working android on your phone, read instructions below.

2. I un-zipped the rom file and copied the update.app to my sd card to folder "dload"

3. I booted regularly into Android and started the update installation from the settings, where I could select option to install from SD card.

4. once that was done, i enabled USB debugging in developer tools and booted into TWRP from ADB with command

fastboot boot twrp-3.1.0-0-kiwi.img

5. Then, I installed SuperSu (SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip)

6. Then, I flahed TWRP directly FROM TWRP. To do so, I clicked "Install" button, clicked "Install Image" and then selected TWRP file (which i copied to my SD card earlier). BE CAREFUL TO FLASH TWRP as Revovery (NOT boot). Actually, I first flashed twrp-3.0.0-0-kiwi.img, then directly after flashed twrp-3.0.2-0-kiwi.img and then I flashed twrp-3.0.0-1-kiwi.img (you see I was kind of desperate...). After that, from TWRP I booted into bootloader and again flashed twrp image from PC using adb:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-kiwi.img

7. from ADB, I again booted into TWRP

fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-0-kiwi.img

8. ... where I once more installed TWRP.

After that I clicked reboot and selected to boot into Recovery. Then it finally worked.

After endless tries to get my phone to boot into TWRP when pushing volume up and power button, I am not sure which of the above steps made the difference. I think the important part is to update to the latest android version.

BTW: my first problem was I bricked my phone by trying to install lineageos from TWRP 3.1.1.1 and was in an endless bootloop. Here is how I got a regular android running:

I booted into bootloader (power + vol DOWN) and flashed the following files from adb (i got the files by extracting an android stock rom with Huawei Update Extractor (HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.9.3.zip)):

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash cust cust.img

Hope this helps...

It's better to post in a new thread, that will be more helpful for you
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mido.gawad:
Greetings everyone ,,

I plan to buy either this phone or the LG G5

I'm used to both companies since i tried both companies and and had no problems except the reason to change broken screens :cool:

anyway what i like in the S6 edge+ is the bigger Screen and longer battery life time

and the G5 has newer CPU && GPU (i game a lot), better camera sensor(dual camera and 1.8F vs 1.9F for the S6), replaceable battery and SD card option

although the G5 is cheaper i still want to get a big screen device coz i suck with roads and i use maps a lot while driving and i read a lot weather it's facebook or PDFS and i never tried VR so will the bigger screen be better

and the nougat updates ,, will the s6 get an official update coz i hate cm camera

what do u think guys which device should i get ?!!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aimara:
not only bigger screen but super amoled display ,to be frank you should be comparing g5 with s7 edge in terms of spec wise , never used lg smart phones , so cant comment much as super amoled screen is one of the top list for myself , vr wise i feel QHD is still not enough as i still see pixels , not complaining much since it just a extra feature and cheaper alternative to htc vive ,maybe a 4k display might be better
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] enzo24754:
This is a thread for discussing about BeanStalk build for the P9 Lite.

Personnally, i tried dirty flashing it over CM but my phone went into bootloop. But looks like i am the only one who experiences that.

Remember, a developer is not a machine, he has got a life and a job. Please don't complain about known issues and be respectful ;)

Bug reporting is fine, but not commanding the developer.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] harisyks:
I flashed it successfully but the Google Camera didn't work, so I went back to CM. Personally, I like the ROM as it has a lot of features, but it's just not as fluid as CM.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Dankmeme:
Wrong section tho.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] sirlex:
I'm using the ROM for daily things and am impressed with it ! Only some small things that bug or don't show.

Does anyone know how I can install the NFC adapter in the ROM ? I've edited in the build.prop ( added nfc lines from other hw device ) but still no luck. When trying a 3rd party app to activate the nfc i get the toast message : " NFC ADAPTER NOT INSTALLED ".

Anyways, great job on the rom it's the best one here by far imo. Looking forward to see it grow and improve along the way.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] vispinet:
The first week or so I was very happy with the battery life. I could easily get two days out of a recharge. However for some reason now the battery drains much quicker and I can barely make it to the end of the day with my normal use. The "Android System" item on the battery stats is 29%. That seems too high. I have been installing apps recently so I wonder if an app is causing this. Any advice?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] JenItols:
Things I have done to get better battery life (or at least feel like I get better battery life):

Disable battery percentage display (it never helps)

Settings -> Display -> System Icons -> Battery Percentage (unchecked)

Change from LTE to WCDMA (preferred)/GSM (i get horrible LTE signal)

Settings -> More -> Mobile Networks -> Preferred network type

Disabled the default Android Device Administrator

Settings -> Lockscreen & security -> Device Administrator (unchecked)

Set Wi-FI to never stay awake

Settings -> Wi-Fi Settings -> Settings -> "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" (set to off)

Disable Bluetooth when not in use

Disable apps I dont use.

My best bet is that your Bluetooth or Wi-Fi are in a consistant ON state. Disabling bluetooth when not in use, and setting the Wi-Fi sleep policy would be the low hanging fruit if you havent done that yet.

If none of the above work then I would suggest one of the following:

1.) ADB into your phone and look at logs (logcat, dmesg, ...) to determine if there are any exceptions that could be causing the system to "hang".

2.) Factory reset
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] vispinet:
Thank you so much for the detailed answer. I feel a bit stupid now, but everything was solved with a simple reboot. Who knows which app must have hang. I will keep your message for future reference. Many thanks again.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] vispinet:
So after the Nougat update I'm back at square 1. Battery life is much worse. For an android phone is not that bad. It easily lasts through the day. However on MM I used to get 2 days with the same use (and this was one of the reasons I got this phone).
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] xperiaL:
hello guys

I've had this phone for a month now but I' can't seem to make the music player display the lyrics.

I've checked and it seems that every track has the lyrics in the proper mp3 tag field, but I get no lyrics yet.

any suggestion would be great, I'm lost. Thanks.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] SteadyDisorder:
I tried to do that too, and never got the lyrics working.

Hello all,

This is my first smartwatch, I am having some troubles connecting to certain WIFI. Is there limitations on what kind of WIFI network this watch can see and connect to? My home WIFI seems to work just fine, but when I am at work, it doesnt see all the networks, and the one it does see......it wont let me connect to? Is there any way to fix this? I am guessing it might be some sort of security settings on the WIFI at my workplace?

It may not have the functionality to connect to 5.0ghz, only 2.4ghz Wi-Fi. I can't test that because my home router is from my broadband provider. I tried a google search and the only thing that came up was that it can connect to wireless b/g/n. Nothing stating if it can or cannot connect to 5.0ghz.
[Samsung Gear S3] Ons1aught:
it can only connect to 2.4 ghz networks.

5 ghz usually need a/ac standard to connect to.
