[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docfunk:
tried, i get errors when trying to unlock or lock the boot loader,

...

FAILED (remote: already fastboot unlocked)

finished. total time: 0.005s

i get this when i try to lock it

...

FAILED (remote: root type is risk)

finished. total time: 0.009s

the wired thing about this is i flashed C636B521, rebooted the phone and lost root TWRP and recovery, but the phone was still on emui 4.1 B321.

after i noticed my bootloader was locked so i unlocked it, it formatted the phone and after i was stuck on EMUI 5 with the bootloader unlocked. i'm ok with EMUI 5 for now but i will need to upgrade when 5 comes out of beta.

anything i try in fastboot gives me errors, tried with SRK Tool and i get the same errors.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rann77:
"fastboot flash oeminfo" not works in unlocked booloader mode generally.

"fastboot flash oeminfo" works while DC Phoenix flashing update.app.

My solution is for real bricked phone, in your condition, as you already had unlocked bootloader,DC Phoenix seems not needed. Beacuse:

Backup and restore oeminfo can be done in TWRP,

Flash update.app can be done through sdcard.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elias_ck:
hello, so i have the same problem you had but i can't use DC Phoenix cuz can't buy credit.

i have tried most tools here but with no luck.

any help
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docfunk:
no luck, I spent hours trying to fix this and not getting anywhere..
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docfunk:
I got it to work,

not 100% sure what fixed it since i tried a number of things over 2 days..

but i think this is what fixed the bootloader

1) used HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.9.5 and extracted (1) RECOVERY.IMG (2) BOOT.IMG (3) SYSTEM.IMG from C636B180 to SRK tool's UNBRICK folder

2) SRK did Option 7, 14, FASTBOOT BOOT,RECOVERY,SYSTEM. put the phone in fastboot Vol down Power on, then flashed the info from B180, this will brick the phone, it won't boot after, not sure if rebooting is needed after the flash.

3) use HuaweiUpdateExtractor and extract (1) RECOVERY.IMG (2) BOOT.IMG (3) SYSTEM.IMG from C636B521 to SRK tool's UNBRICK folder and Flash it again with SRK.

after reboot the phone should boot back in to EMUI 5,

4) put the downgrade update.app in dlaod of the sdcard and shut the phone off, unplug the usb cable and i was able to boot the phone with vol up + vol down and run the downgrade app and then the phone was

on c900b500, added c636b180 to dload, after the update is done do Vol up and power on and did a factory reset of the phone.

the phone booted normally into B180 and updated to B211 from there.

The bootloader was locked after downgrading to B180

I hope this works for anyone having problems, I don't want to be responsible for any problems if anything happens during the process..
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elias_ck:
so i did this thing and it worked i don't know if it's related to what i did the last couple of days. but i put the rollback update from andriod 7 for the c185 using sdcard to update it went till 90% and said failed after that i used the b320 update through sdcard again, it reached 99% and said failed.

but the device booted fine.

so try it. hope it work for you.

i am FRP LOCKED too, can you give me download links or any guides or tips to try what you just did, i really need my phone these days
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jw78jw78:
when i was doing flash here flash there, countless times, the frp was some time locked some unlocked and even sometime no-show. but it never affected the flashing. so i suppose that your issue has nothing to do with frp lock or not, though i don't even know what is FRP.

my device is Huawei Mate 8 NXT-L29 (C185) so the updates are its

install this

http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=91643&version=358294&siteCode=kwen

Copy the extracted dload folder to the external SD card, power your phone off, hold Volume down + Volume up + Power for a few seconds until the update starts.

it may fail but anyway after that

install this

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1076/g104/v51770/f1/full/update.zip

as before (Copy the extracted dload folder to the external SD card, power your phone off, hold Volume down + Volume up + Power for a few seconds until the update starts)

and it should start
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Armali:
i think it's too late, today i flashed the rollback package and it was successful, the phone restarted and after that i cannot flash anything else from dload cause whenever i press power button + volume up and down, the phone just restarts which and stays at the huawei logo, i can only access the bootloader at the moment but i am frp locked, and i can't shut down my phone
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elias_ck:
happened to me too but i kept trying till it worked, you should try to do a wipe might help.

Hello, I think I have a similar situation. My phone's fastboot mode shows "Phone unlocked" & "FRP lock". I can boot into the system but the oem unlock option is grey out and cannot be enabled. I'm wondering where I can get the right oeminfo.img file for my phone and can I flash it into my phone in order to get the broken oeminfo file recovered?

Did you found which password is required for fastboot oem frp-unlock
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexito696:
Its easy. Update to the last version of nougat. Login with google acount. Later erase google account in settings. Factory reset in setting And now frp unlocked. Later unlock bootloader and flash Marshmallow. Its worked for me.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peepooh:
No need to pay

Just downgrade to b521, look here in the thread on how to downgrade no pc required as long as you have the update.app after downgrade the lock oem can be on and off again settings...No need to pay for dc unlocker..

Warning it will erase all your file better back.up

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bestofrhcp:
Hello,

Ive had my Pixel XL Since October. I've used it day in and day out since then. Have been very careful with it. In November I got a case for it. Made buy Bear motion. I noticed that when I would put my phone down on any level surface. I would rock back and forth. I thought it was the case, so I didn't think much of it. Today I was rocking the phone Naked and it did the same thing! After taking a look at it, I tried bending the phone from is corners to try to straighten it out. I put it back on the counter and now was rocking the opposite way. It wasn't very forceful either. I mean very little effort on pressing of the corners. I'm kind of disappointed in this as I had a Nexus 6P and I know it had a bending issue (towards the center) as well but didn't rock like this. Has anyone had this issue with their Pixel or Pixel XL? I have a couple of videos to illustrate what I saw. I hope this helps explain a bit better. Sorry for the music playing in the background!

mine is bent, i noticed the rocking the other day. I thought it was my case as well, took it out, and it still rocked. Mine rocks the same exact way as in the first linked video. A lot of people say it is an iphone clone from the front, now it rocks like an iphone lol
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bestofrhcp:

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] biscuitownz:
None here. I once went go karting with my nexus 5 and it was bent like that after it. I just bent it back lol
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] waitinonanoob10:
Your phone is not bent.

The Pixel and Pixel XL are pretty durable phones. The thing about the pixel is that from top to bottom, the thickness is slightly chaffered. Depending on how smooth and even the surface, you can notice how the thickness gets thinner from top to bottom.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Juzman:
Never had these issues with my 6P or Pixel XL.

My phone was bent from day one. slight rocking on multiple flat surfaces. kind of anoyying. My honor 5x is perfectly flat, alumninium build, and was $200.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bestofrhcp:
. I know there is a thickness difference from the top to the bottom but it shouldn't rock like it does. It's a catacorner rocking.

I'm wondering if the people with bent phones are carrying them in their back pocket.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Alcolawl:
This. Not to mention at least 90% of all women I've known that have dropped their phone in the toilet keep it in their back pocket. That thought alone prevents me from putting my phone back there, even though it's sometimes annoying to have in the front pocket of my jeans. (The grey Google Live case is a really sticky silicone).

No bending here. Flat as a rock.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bestofrhcp:
This might be the case. I sat on it while driving before. I'm going to not do that to see if that was the cause.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] airmaxx23:
I've never carried a phone in my back pocket, a flat phone on a round ass just doesn't seem like a good combo.
[Android General] dronus2:
On an Oneplus 2, using OxygenOS, I revoke all data sensitive rights from the "Google Play services" and "Google App" apps for privacy. It seems most Google apps don't rely strongly in these background services. Google Maps for example is still working fine, given the right to use Location itself.

Now there is a notification every some hours, that the service app will not work well without those rights and user experience will suffer.

So I also revoke both service apps of notifications (by checking Settings -> Apps -> App info -> Notifications -> Block all).

However, the notifications still occur.

-How can those apps circumvent the notification block?

-Maybe the notification is issued by the system on insufficent rights, and not the application itself?

-How can I find out how to block those annoying notifications?

-Maybe those apps abuse another service app to place their notification, if so how can I find this linkage?

[T-Mobile LG G4] jazee:
I switched an LG G4 from AT&T to T-Mobile. Lost my delayed, no answer call forwarding setting. I can get the service codes to work such as check balance (#225#) and display IMEI, etc. But I can't get any of the call setting MMI codes to work.

Got the codes from here: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4041

But: **61*{phone number}**5# produces the error:

Call forwarding

Connection problem or invalid MMI code

I went into Mobile Network Settings and tried registering T-Mobile LTE, and T-mobile GSM networks and didn't make a difference. Everything else is working fine (like LTE data and service codes like I mentioned above.)

I'm guessing the AT&T doc on MMI codes is incorrect, at least for this model phone?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anybody know if theres an app that allows carrier billing? For example, If i want to download an app from the play store i have to use my credit card. I cant pay the bill using my phone credit! Ideally however i would like to use my phone credit as i have a little too much credit and this would be a great way for me to use it up! My understanding is that some networks allow this but vodafone do not! My phone is unlocked though so iam wondering if there is a way i could set this up?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Superguy:
I do it all the time thru Google Play with AT&T. Your carrier has to support it and it's treated like a credit card. AT&T caps purchases at $100 per line, so if you exceed that, it declines as a credit card would.

Hello community members,

TL;DR no adb, no fastboot, no flashmode, no QDloader (or similar) ... how to unbrick it?

I was trying to force Android to allow lower lcd backlight brightness levels by patching framework-res.apk and I had the edited zip file ready to flash. Then I realized that my Android 7 Ressurection remix ROM (thread) flashed Cyanogenmod recovery, which I don't like. So I decided to reflash TWRP 3.0.2 (link) ( edit: using "fastboot flash boot twrp.img", which was almost fatal mistake) and it has gone almost well. The phone started to boot into recovery mode everytime (and took a long time doing so). So I googled a bit and found this thread which lead me to this thread. I was looking forward to seeing my display brightness at lower than default values, so I probably skipped some security checks and texts with red color, so I flashed the zip with the boot.img replaced. After flashing I chose reboot and nothing happened since.

The problem is I flashed something that was not for my device (extracted boot.img to wrong mmcblk). The command that bricked my phone is (from META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script):

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p6");

After that it doesn't boot, doesn't light up LED (even when charging), doesn't get detected by PC in any state.

So I have no adb, no fastboot and no flashmode and not even a QDloader or similar mode.

Is there a way to unbrick it?

EDIT: How to unbrick it using JTAG interface? If I find somebody that has the required equipment, what data do I need to give them?
[Sony Xperia M] valkata752:
Hey there! :) Did you manage to solve the issue, because I just got into the same situation after the zip didn't save the corrected partitions but the initial ones... So i ended up without any signs of life in my phone :D
[Sony Xperia M] mik13ST:
Nope, I found no solution ... even some kind of Qualcomm flashing mode via COM (serial port over USB) does not show up nowhere. I gave up and bought a used S5 mini, which is full of features I appreciate.

I'm gonna keep this Xperia M for some time if some solution comes up.

[Sony Xperia M] mik13ST:
Nice looking tutorial, but I cannot find any download link for that One Click Unbrick Tool in that article. I doubt it would work, they are not explaining what it does.

No, as I said. The partition that got overwritten was /dev/block/mmcblk0p6. It was overwritten by boot.img from LG OPTIMUS 3D that I link to in the main post.

Came across this earlier. Called Sprint to see if I qualified... What a joke. They said I couldn't bc I activated my device too early (release date) and I had another phone on the contract. I'm going to drop them soon, but I'm case they care about any other customers, you might try your luck.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aholeinthewor1d:
Before looking on their website I figured I would ask you since you are already a Sprint customer. Do they offer any kind of unlimited data plan currently? I am with Verizon and still on their old unlimited data plan right now but I am always curious if I can get a better price elsewhere. For years it was annoying because I couldn't get a device through Verizon or else I would loose unlimited so I've had to trade phones here and there to get new ones. I got lucky this time and got a Pixel from Best Buy for basically $140. The deal was $240 technically but I also got a hundred dollar gift card :)

So yea just curious about any unlimited plans sprint offeres I remember hearing Tmobile had unlimited again but there was some kind of catch to the plan.. I think you only got 480p video or something

thanks!
