[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] SWBgHz:
So I found a guy on eBay (yes, I know - but I do fine in eBay and know how to use the protections it affords) that has Chinese version with the B109SP01 firmware that will run Google Play services. This solves the issues, right? It is dual SIM and 128/6 GB (has other sizes too) so question is will this work or just not worth bothering with it?

Oops, yes I know - should have edited previous post instead of adding another.

Adding info that answers my questions so, hopefully, others questions as well. Thanks to all here and elsewhere for the clarity:

The Chinese model is MHA-AL00, and two international models are MHA-L29 and MHA-L09. The MHA-AL00 and the MHA-L29 both support the same bands, basically almost all bands. The MHA-L09 supports all of the bands of the other two models except Band 41 (so bad news for Sprint and China/India if my research is correct). The MHA-L09 is single sim while the MLA-AL00 and MHA-L29 are dual-sim (the hybrid kind so second SIM slot is SD slot). Only the MHA-AL00 now comes in the 128 or 256 and 6 GB variant. Some, not many, MHA-AL00 phones will have the B109SP01 firmware but maybe not many - if it does then you basically got the same thing as an International version in terms of Google Play working (just don't do system update until word here is the Play issue is fixed in the ROM they are pushing out), SIM slots, etc and in future it is likely with unlocked bootloader it could be flashed to become an International version. In short, it seems MHA-AL00 (Chinese) and MHA-L29 (International) are the same hardware phone with the former have the 128/256 and 6 GB option out there and the MLA-L09 is the same but missing the aforementioned band and second SIM slot.

Will edit original post with this info too so easy for anyone to see. Thanks all.

I just received the MHA-L00 Mate 9 couple of days ago and I was able to install google play without any issues after installing GMSinstaller from Huawei app, I received a firmware OTA as soon as I connected to my wifi B165SP01 which has been working fine. I will keep you posted once I do more tests on it and using it on a daily basis.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] kolembo:
I have the international L29 with B158 and 64gb. Dual.

Runs exactely like any other phone vis-a-vis Google / Facebook / Whatsapp
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] goranimo:
How did you get B158? Regular OTA or some kind of black magic? Mine is still on B126 with nothing to update...
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] RR-99:
Is that really B158, or B138?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ilbambino:
received OTA B167 update on my MHA-AL00 working fine using T-mobile, google apps installed using GSM from HiApp. Only annoying thing is not able to use stock audio controls (Everything is in chinese) and notification bugs considering to rebrand to international verison whenever I have time
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] bulderhart:
I ordered the Mate 9 from a local supplier (Switzerland) 6 months ago. They sent me the MHA-AL00 which - intriguingly - already had Google Play installed. There was no sign of the phone having been set up before to allow the supplier to install Google Play.... Anyway, everything worked as expected and they only thing I noticed that a few obscure menus were in Chinese as well as some text on the lock screen. Last month I broke the screen and since I liked the phone so much (the battery life is a-ma-zing!) I ordered a new one. This time they sent me the MHA-L29 and the only difference I noted is that all the traces to Chinese were gone. Other than that the phones look, feel and act exactly the same. If you figure out how to tweek the very aggressive power management features, this phone is easy to love.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] s8plususer:
Alright guys I know I am late to the party but I am considering buying a chinese version with 128GB and 6GBRAM from Ebay. My only question is, now that the phone has been out for a while, is it possible to unlock the bootloader and install the international ROM on the chinese 128/6 mate 9?

Or is it safer to stick with the 64GB/4GB RAM MHA-L29?

Btw I am from Australia
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] cross1989:
i have the international version, mha-l29c185...works great with google installed...also they do have google play store and all the apps on huawei app market...i seen the 128gb mate 9 6gb ram runing play store in videos....not sure whats all the if are about...can easily install a rom with google in it...
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] 5[Strogino]:
Yeah. It is possible. Even it will detect that you have 6 / 128 specs on world ROM.

Maximum you will have some troubles with unlock bootloader. In strange cases Chinese models get wrong unlock code via official way. Also, you have to register Huawei account and use phone with it in 14 days to approve your legitimate reason to unlock.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] TheLotus:
I dropped it in June 2015, and damaged the screen. The device would turn on, however, the screen was unresponsive. I Later bought an LCD kit and repaired it last March. It worked perfectly for a month and a half, then I dropped it again. It's been broken for ~6 months, though recently I got its screen repaired. It is not booting up, as I expected, as it has not been touched for so long. How long, if ever, will it take for the tablet to obtain enough charge to power on again?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lowridincrew,:
Plug it in and give it about a hour or two. It should be ok
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] William1020000:
You really can risk damaging the battery leaving it in a discharged state. Leave it plugged in for 12 hours and come back to it :)

[T-Mobile LG G3] Mastersoy:
Hello, as you can see in the title, I need help rooting my G3. I tried multiple ways like purple drake, kingoroot, and king root and all 3 didn't work. Is there another way I can root my phone without like downgrading it or anything? Thanks! :)

I too am interested in this. Does it perform better on Win vs Android? Also how is it done?
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] CornholeOS_x86:
I had Windows 8 going on on of the (many) versions of an NX16A10132S, then I screwed it up trying to change the bios settings back so I could boot a linux live so I could backup the working, bootable, partitions/table for easy installing on my other Ares.. Ended up accidentally disabling usb in bios.

However, I believe the settings that made it work for me were.

USB OTG Support = ACPI --> PCI Mode

OS Selection = GMIN --> Windows 8.x

Network Stack = Disable --> Enable (Something about Win8 Bitlocker in the desc. Took the longest to find lol.)

PXE Boot capability = Disabled

At least these are some of the settings I remember changing before I got Win8 to work.

I've tried the same with Win10 but couldn't even get it to show up in the efi boot devices list. Hope maybe some of this helps a bit.
[Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.] zaooza:
I'm trying to install win 8 (8.1, 10, 11) x64 on ares 8a. The settings you mentioned don't help to run the windows installer (or I need to change something else). The windows installation usb drive shows bsod with ACPI_BIOS_ERROR message after windows boot logo.

I was able to run live linux distros from usb (mint, bliss os 15, clonesilla, acronis disk director), but I need windows :(
[Nokia Lumia 1020] lrmmf:
Hi,

i need your help. my nokia 1020 stopped working and it appears a message "Problems in 1020 - error:unable to find a bootable option. Press any key to shut down".

This is the first of 2 problems. My second problem is that i was using na application (akruto sync) to simulate na Exchange server and locally synchronize my phone with my laptop.. the problem is that i changed my laptop and stopped syncing it... and, before the problem previously mentioned, i couldn't access my calendar...

In the end my question is this: if i recover from the 1st problem, is there anyway to copy a calendar directly to my laptop or to Outlook.com?

Regards

Hello

There is a app called emoji switcher. I don't like the Android MM emojis. and that app will change it to Lolipop or ios emoji.

This app did work fine on oxygen 3.2.2. Today i did update oxygen from 3.2.2 to 3.2.8. and the app wasn't working. i did figure out i can do this manual to by moving the file to system/font folder or system/data/ folder don't know which one it was.

But when I copy paste it it says operation failed by Rootbrowser paid version from speed software. And es file explorer gave me the error "read only file system". both app got root premision. I did read on the internet "try to delete apk files in system/app folder" I did try that to but i can't do that to....

Can someone help me ?

You need to mount /system as r/w otherwise you wont be able to modify it, even with root.

After updating my unlocked HTC 10 to Android 7, I noticed "menu button" option in display settings. There is a check mark, but I don't know what it does.

I'd guess it's giving you the option of having the new one on screen, or continue using the capacitive button. Just a guess tho

You mean the three line hamburger menu button? It's just an addition to get to most used setting options quickly. It's not only in display, it's on other settings menus as well
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
I don't really see any changes when I toggle "menu option" in the display settings.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] ordeniz:
I selected that and didn't see any difference until I opened JetAudioPlus.There was a menu icon on the right bottom corner of the app.I think some apps make it visible,to make the menu easy to reach.Bu when I click it it still opens the menu on the upper right corner.I think the option is there because someone may need it in some apps.I don't need it.So I disabled it.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Cro Cop:
Is there some way I can use the right "recent apps" button as a real menu button??

I already tried Button mapper app by Flar and it doesn't have that function.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Aukutsutsu:
Did they get rid of the option to long press the recent apps button for menu? If so, that's lame...
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Cro Cop:
Yes they did. Somebody who has a twitter account should write to Mo Versi or Graham Wheeler so that they are aware of this issue!

[Samsung Gear S3] Naturesretard:
Hey all, Just got my LTE variant and have been fiddling around with it and have discovered some things. Wanted to post here and let people know what I've come across.

So far I have discovered:

-Gear works with Rooted Devices (at least with my Note 4)

-Samsung Pay from Gear works with Rooted Devices (Can't add my Discover Card yet, planned support for hopefully end of year)

-You DON'T have to use the default texting app in order to send/receive/reply to messages from the S3. So far, the apps I've found that support this are Google Hangouts, ChompSMS, Textra, and Google Messenger. It does have a few hangups though. This thread states the methods I used to achieve this and the hangups observed by doing this.

-You can control phone music from the s3, but cannot stream to it...yet.

-Gear seems to auto lock when removed from wrist. Unable to tell if it's based on the lack of heart beat or sense of movement. Not an issue, just making aware.

-Gear supports AOD (Always On Display). The type of display given is based on the watch face currently in use, so it would appear your watch face must have support for it otherwise it will default to a stock face (needs testing). Using AOD will shift pixels around to prevent burn in every time you go to wake the watch. Have lightly tested and can verify it shifts. Will be testing on my next charge cycle to test battery life and burn in potential (trying to test as much as I can within my 14 day period of which to exchange for another device (lemon law)

So far that's all I've come across and will update this page accordingly with more information. Please feel free to add yourself anything you have discovered so we can let the rest of our Gear toting brothers and sisters know these tips and tricks.
[Samsung Gear S3] optimummind:
You cant add Discover yet b/c it's not a supported bank yet.
[Samsung Gear S3] spencewesttx:
You CAN stream SoundCloud. It is terrible though.
[Samsung Gear S3] Naturesretard:
How?
[Samsung Gear S3] spencewesttx:
There is an app called "SoundCloudPro" in the Galaxy Store
[Samsung Gear S3] MobileUnlockBase:
Samsung Pay from Gear works with Rooted Devices (Can't add my Discover Card yet, but still investigating that)

How is that possible? Can't even install samsung pay on a rooted phone.
[Samsung Gear S3] Ahowe125:
The Samsung Pay you use is a baked in app that is part of the Samsung Gear app. I have in installed on my rooted Nougat port on my HTC 10 and it works perfect. You don't need the official Samsung Pay app installed on the device at all. It seems as of now, that Samsung thinks the security on the watch is enough to allow you to use it side by side with a rooted phone. I hope it stays that way, because I have never been able to use Android pay because of the Root issue.
[Samsung Gear S3] MobileUnlockBase:
Thank you. I just bought my watch a couple of hours ago.
[Samsung Gear S3] gurinder073:

I have bought the Gear s3 and would like to connect with my Samsung A9 Pro (sm-A9100), however, when I checked the passkey for both sides, the s3 and a9 pro keep connecting but no further....

Does anyone has such situation? and what can I do....

ps. My A9 pro was rooted and some defaulted samsung app were forzened before.
[Samsung Gear S3] Naturesretard:
Yes I did. However have been very busy since getting it and have not had time to update the thread. I've tested a few additional features and even a skin from Skinomi to protect the watch. When I have time tonight I will try to update what I can.

What I can say now, the watch feels a little lackluster, but since it's my first wearable, and it works for what I bought it for (messaging/calling, Samsung pay) it works great. But there are time I worry I'm not using it to its potential or it's just in its baby phases and doesn't have many apps yet.
[Samsung Gear S3] Tel864:
I just picked mine up a few days ago a and that sums up my feelings also. It's my first smartwatch and I've been wondering if I'm using it's full potential. I haven't been thrilled with the battery life but I have been playing around with it a lot and have only charged it a couple of times. Hopefully that will improve when I finally decide on a watch face that I can live with, I think I've changed the face a couple of hundred times. :)
[Samsung Gear S3] Ziken:
Samsung Pay is available on S3, the only difference is that if you bought the BT version, it'll requires that you have the phone nearby for the 4GLTE to make the payment or such. If you have the LTE model and uses that, then you should be fine.
[Samsung Gear S3] gpmg762:
Correction, BT version can do 10 transactions without the phone nearby for Samsung Pay. After that, you need to sync with the phone to get another 10.

yup I have done the stupid thing and wondering if there is a way out?

got the verizon pixel and unlocked bootloader using dePixel8. that worked

tried the chainfire root process a couple times but couldn't get it to work.

decided to just flash_all the stock X image downloaded from the google website and relock the bootloader. Now i remember seeing some error message about the factory image flash process but stupidly decided to go ahead anyway.

so now I have a brick that can only go to the bootloader mode where it shows the locked status. Trying to boot hits the "your device is corrupt. it can't be trusted and may not work properly" error message and just powers off. :(
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] johnandbodhi:
try fastboot continue
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] synkro1:
I had this happen to me today! No worries man, just follow this guy's post and you'll be fine. I just did it now and I'm back up and running (however I still haven't figured out how to root it just yet): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69572302&postcount=2

EDIT: Oh wait, I see that you locked the bootloader, honestly not sure if this will work then. I'm super new here and literally just got back into this stuff so I can root my phone that i got today (it's been 3+ years since doing any of this) but I hope you can figure it out!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] hucqym:
woohoo! awesome sauce! that worked. thanks a bunch.

It seemed to go beyond the error message but on the first two attempts it stayed stuck on the animation logo for a long time. So i just rebooted it again and tried fastboot continue the third time and this time it booted and I was able to rerun dePixel8 to unlock bootloader again!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] hucqym:
also I found out the problem with my initial attempt to reflash to stock image and the error message that I overlooked:

my path was accidentally picking up an older copy of fastboot that does not understand the android 7.x boot slots and so it failed with the stock 7.x images.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] UDPoster:
So... I broke my old Verizon M8 that was rooted. Got new one and upgraded it to 6.0.

Now I am trying to root it and get s-off.

From what I remember and my notes I need to temp root it with KingRoot, then use Sunshine to get s-off, after that I can install TWRP, and after that SuperSU binaries for permanent root.

I followed these steps

factory reset,

Installed KingRoot

did RUU using DOTTAT_VZWM8_M_S_ON_6_0_RUU.zip

Enabled USB Debug

Enabled High precision GPS

Enabled Mock location (set it to KingRoot)

Now I am running KingRoot and it keeps restarting at 18-20%. :(

Anything I am missing?

Did I had to do it with Android 5.0 and I can't root it with 6.0?

Thank You
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] UDPoster:
UPDATE: So I guess Sunshine can now temproot it self. I installed it, it updated to latest one, was able to gain temp root, and now I am S-OFF and boot loader unlocked. :D :D :D
