Help I've been Hacked

I had my honor 5x unlocked and everything perfect the way I wanted it. It did an update by itself and has been acting weird ever since. I can't get into the bootloader thru adb fastboot bootloader. When I boot into bootloader thru adb I get a message that I have to connect to the huawei hisuite. Also has rolled back to emui 4.0 and can't get the newest emui or update to the newest android os 7.1. I feel like Im stuck. When I try to view videos I've taken it wants me to grant "videos" permissions to make phone calls and access other stuff. I am at a loss and don't know how to proceed. I've lost the twrp I installed and it will only load to the factory recovery and can't wipe the cache just do a restart. My device is unlocked but I can't boot into the bootloader. Did a factory reset and it seems that it made it worse and I lost all my prevouis tweeks and now installs things by itself. Also says that it isn't rooted (root checker) which I did root and my super SU got erased. Please help. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you. :crying::confused::eek:
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] ecualobo:
I was able to install Twrp recovery img thru adb fastboot bootloader (I guess I was on the bootloader but the "connect to Suite" was throwing me off) and then I flashed the super Su zip file from TWRP.

I installed the root checker app but it is stating "Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device. Device: KIW-L24 Android Version: 6.0.1". Its weird because I cant find the Super User App Icon but I keep getting a pop up to grant permissions just like I did before when it was rooted. Seems to be rooted but not fully or something. :eek::confused:

---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

No sure what I did but I got the root checker to verify that it is rooted and I got the SuperSu app logo to appear (Ran a debugger program that might have helped). So happy now. Will try to update Emui and install the latest android. Thank you all. :D
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] NgDev:
Hi, and thanks for such a friendly thread.

I've just bought and tried the Honor 5X to get a first feel and I don't like EMUI at all. I come from a Galaxy core 2 duo with a Kitkat 4.4.2. With this smartphone I was able to get root privileges (CWD & super su) and I removed a lot of useless apps thanks to titanium backup pro (+- half of stock apps). That's about the extents of my ability.

Now I want to ditch EMUI and every single overlay from huawei, and remove every single app that I could install myself (e.g.: I don't want a calendar or movie/music reader app I'll install mine, but I do want the app to send SMS).

I understand that the solution is to install a ROM that would correspond to my needs. I've found many threads pertinent but they have too much information or are too complex. Here are the questions that remain unclear :

What ROM correspond the most to my need ? Does a ROM fresh from Mountain View fully supporting my phone exist ? Without the Google apps I don't want (I used many gapps but I don't use Movies, Music, Now, +n, Book, ...) ? Anyway I'll be able to root and remove any app I don't want but finding them all is tedious and someone probably already did it.

I've found LineageOS which seems promising but I'm not sure it's what I want and I'm also concerned about stability and updating my phone after flashing the custom ROM (will I still get security updates ?).

What are the steps to install a ROM from a brand new phone ? As noob friendly as possible.

Rooting ? Installing an intermediate software (CWD, TRWP, ...) ? There are many possibilities but I don't know what are the steps I need.

My build number : KIW-L21 C432B350

EMUI : 4.0

Android : 6.0.1

core version : 3.10.49-g3457563

There was a possible problem with something called volte but I don't know if I have it or not.

Thanks for the help

Make sure the zip you flash doesn't contain an emmc file. It re-locks the bootloader.

[Xposed General] ksnewland:
Hey guys,

Long time xposed module user from android 4 through 6. I just got a new (used) Nexus 5X and am considering downgrading to Marshmallow so that I can get xposed back.

Why do people even bother hacking 7.0+ if you can't run xposed? I get that you can use custom firmware with some nice customization, but I feel like 90% of the value of rooting my phone is in xposed. Minminguard, for example, is something I can't live without; adblocking apps is probably the nicest feature I can imagine. Several other custom xposed-only apps as well.

So... what do you all think? Run android 7+ without xposed while waiting for someone kind enough to release xposed module for it, or stay android 6.0 forever to take advantage of the amazing app library within xposed module?
[Xposed General] hooks024:
Plenty of advantages. The Google assistant is available without xposed on 7.0 and 7.1 roms. You can now reply to text messages from your notification screen, and delete emails even when you have multiple messages there. Xposed will be great once we get it, but there's plenty of stuff about nougat that makes it worth it.
[Xposed General] eurominican:
Any other benefits? Im on the same boat as OP, dont see much benefit without xposed atm.

[Xposed General] Istvan_86:
Hello, I´m on the same boat than you, I updated to Nougat just to give it a try but I come back to Marshmallow only for Xposed, all the features from Nougat are not enough for me without Xposed.
[Xposed General] varioventus:
Yeah, yeah, wait for Xposed Nougat. Will be realeased in 2195.

People, let's get real! There won't be any Xposed for Nougat. Even if will be released, it will happen so late it would be useless - Android 8 will be the word by then and everyone will ask for Xposed Oreo.
[Xposed General] ABotelho23:
People have been saying this since 5.0. Xposed for Nougat is basically done already, just needs small fixes.

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

There will be an Xposed for Nougat! You think it's easy to make Xposed working on new Android versions why don't you make it yourself then? Even Samsung and other manufacturers need months to update to new Android versions because of the many changes Google added. If it works good Rovo release it if you don't want to wait no problem but then why are you in an Xposed thread? You have no respect to Xposed dev while he does it for free.

You do understand the source code is out there right? If you're so impatient you should to and make it compatible yourself. This isn't a paid product from a commercial company; you literally have NO right to complain.

Not very probably. Google constantly makes changes against Xposed and other hacking tools...
[Xposed General] varioventus:
Please, keep your respect lessons for your kids.

I presume you're personal with Robert, you've called him and he told you he's working hard on Xposed Nougat.

Robert have the right to live a life, outside of xposed. That means he have the right to NOT realese any new version of the framework if that would require an amount of work too heavy for one single developer.
[Xposed General] Filip013:
If anyone is interested you could use DualBootPatcher to test things out. I'm using DualBootPatcher with stock MIUI based on MM as primary ROM and Lineage 14.1 as data slot ROM, so I can test it out. So far Lineage seems nice but a lack of Xposed is very limiting.

Devs last update stated hooks were generally working, which is the core function of what Xposed offers to modules. Of course it's partially an assumption, but we also have to consider he's got a life and isn't getting paid for Xposed.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] Thorin78:
Hopefully this can help some people who don't want to use custom recovery or need root.

My MIX came with a vendor rom from gearbest "Global" 8.0.8.0.0 Stable. I was able to figure out that the bootloader was unlocked through the fastboot method. The vendor ROM didn't have the MIUnlock status within the developer options. I requested for unlock before I knew about the fastboot method. The updater app wouldn't work, no matter which app ROM from xiaomi I downloaded. It would always give me the cannot verify error. But I finally was able to flash to the Dev Rom (no eu) weekly build and then add gapps to it. None of this required twrp or rooting. So here are my steps that I went through. Yes there is Chinese bloatware, but many you can uninstall.

1. Make sure it's unlocked. I used the fastboot option via command prompt. I used this.

2. download XiaomiFlash (old version) here. The newest version kept giving me a Specified cast is invalid problem. you can read about it here

3. Download latest fastboot update Developer ROM.

4. Follow steps 4 through 6 on this webpage here. Make sure you decompress the .tgz file. :)

My vendor ROM had the Playstore access. But after the update, it was giving me a server error. So I installed the following apps in this order to get it working again. If at some point the install fails, then uninstall the app first and reinstall.

1. Install Google Services Framework 6.0.1

2. Install Google Play Services

3. Install Google Account Manager

4. Install Google Play Store

Reboot and you should have access to the google apps and start downloading other google apps. I then also started uninstalling all of the chinese apps that I couldn't read/understand.

If this is not new, then let this thread die. If this works for you. awesome.

Things that I still can't get to work

1. Android Pay

2. Google Play Movies still says this device is not supported.

3. Can't sync with google contacts

Update I haven't tested this, but you can try it on the Dev or the Stable

[MENTION=3169046]Thorin78[/MENTION]

A well put together resource is always welcome.

I think I have an answer/solution for some of your ongoing issues:

1) Android Pay not working:

The unlocked bootloader is probably the reason it's not working.I wouldn't recommend relocking it unless you're on an official Xiaomi ROM.

2) Cannot add new contacts:

I've run into that as well.For now, I'm just adding them on my PC via G-Mail (new contacts).Next time you sync on your phone & you should see the new contacts.

3) Google Play Movies issues may be a location issue.If the phone/Google settings isn't allowing for the exact area/country location where you are/Google Play Movies is official,then that may be the problem.

Loading one of the other ROMs may solve this.

These issues may possibly be solved utilizing root apps/Xposed/etc..... IDK,but,if one is savvy enough to unlock the bootloader/Root/ROM/install Xposed framework & modules,then they can likely find those solutions w/o any assistance.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] Thorin78:
Thanks [MENTION=3512846]KOLIOSIS[/MENTION], I'm not as concerned w/ #1 and #3 so much. But now I can't get contacts to even sync or show up. It's quite weird. It's not part of the sync procedure.

I do agree, if people are already savvy enough to go through the entire process w/ twrp, they probably are better off w/ that procedure.

Anyways, if this isn't working for others either, hope it's made them more comfortable going the next step of twrp.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
For whatever reason,(Google) contacts isn't automatically updating/syncing on the MIX.

Until there's a fix,you'll have to go to SETTINGS > ACCOUNTS > OTHER ACCOUNTS > GOOGLE

Tap on the affected Google account & tap CONTACTS.

Here's where part of the bug lies,as when doing so,the sync is turned off instead of syncing. Simply turn it back on & your contacts should update/match whatever you have on your desktop PC.

OK,now we're getting somewhere:

I've been running the EU ROM 6.12.xx & as of a couple days ago,the GlobeROM 6.12.22 (which looks identical to me) & have/had (Google) contacts on both.

Kinda odd,never seen contacts sync missing with any mfg/phone ROM I've run in the past & that list includes Huawei/OPPO/OnePlus & the typical better known mfgs most are familiar with.

Perhaps loading the Google Contacts app from the Google Play Store will kick it into gear...........................................
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] Thorin78:
Ya, I've been searching on xiaomi forums too. Newp. I've uninstalled Google contacts, reinstalled google contacts (tho play store says it's incompatible).

Removed my google account, installed google contacts, google contacts sync and readded my google account through google contacts and still newp.

Everytime I start a google app, there's a new line added for Sync, but not for contacts.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Sounds like you've done your homework,IDK what else to suggest regarding contacts/syncing.

The only thing I can recommend is using the Nuclear Option & switching to either the EU ROM 6.12.xx (weekly) or the GlobeROM 6.12.xx
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] Thorin78:
Oh this is the Xiaomi Dev GlobeROm.

But ya, EU ROM soon if I can't get this working. It's also interesting that I got root via the Permissions options in the settings.

To get the google contacts working, you need to assigned all permission to it first then remove and add your google account again.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] N3M3SYS:
I had the same problem on my MIX. The 1st time I saved my contacts on another device as a .vcf file, and imported it from the MIX's contacts menu. Suddenly contacts appeared under Google account along with everything else.

[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] Shamako:
So I had CM on my P8 before. I wanted to go back to stock, so I rebooted to fastboot and flashed stock recovery and also system.img. What I didn't realize was that I had flashed again the CM system img instead of stock. Now, phone is stuck on the bootanimation in CM and wont boot.

Trying to go to recovery just results in a black screen flash and then reboot to Huawei logo again. Holding the down volume button and powering up, or holding both up and down and powering up doesn't get me into bootloader/fastboot. Even before this the combo key never got me into fastboot.

What do I do?

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] DannyBoy:
I've been buying HTC devices every year since the very first XDA came out. It seems to get harder each year to choose a device as more choice becomes available. I don't think the Athena was out last year (or only just out and a bit out of my price range) so it wasn't really a consideration.

Anyway I went for an Orbit/Armatis which I've really enjoyed, it has just about everything I need. Perhaps the only improvements I would make is 3G, VGA, more memory, faster processor and I do like the sound of the tv-out. So sounds like the Athena is still on the cards.

I'm just a bit worried I've missed the boat. What I mean is, is it a bit outdated now? Will they bring out a smaller/lighter version soon?

Other questions you could answer for me are as follows..

How have you all coped with the size?

For those of you using them as phone (rather than a umpc) how have they stood upto being in your pocket (without the case/keyboard)

I've heard they're not too good playing Divx movies (700mb variety). Is this true. Will the Roms available here correct this?

Any more advice great fully received.

Many thanks

Now is good many peoploe are looking for something new Umpc's, Asus eee or shift type things and a few going on ebay mine will be gone soon i expect but its a great device if ur using as a phone a lot get a good BT headset like LG Style-i
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Digital.Diablo:
Id recommend it, as long as you wanted a mini-pc, rather than a phone. The internet features, harddisk, screen, and connectivity options really tick all the boxes, and the enhanced roms really improve the product.

If you want to use it as a phone, be prepared to use a BT headset or the wired option, or the speakerphone. I can't fault it on sound quality, but if you're a pub regular, you'll feel like a bit of a tit having it on your belt or in your pocket. Either that, or face swapping your sim out to another more portable phone. Luckily I've got a work mobile as well, so I can take that out with me.

The TV out is pretty good as is the VGA, provided you're not putting it on too large a screen (only 640x480 res). But is ok on my work monitor, watching last nights telly programme that I missed, or a film. One thing to be wary of, is that you MUST run the movies off the Microdrive (or memory). If you try and play it off a USB keyfob, its just too slow to support it. MP3's are ok (although can take a fair few seconds to load).

All in all, it comes down to if you want a mini-pc, or a phone with PDA functionality.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] shortyboy:
the size took quite a bit of getting used to but once u get the feel of its awsome w/the 5" touch screen.i use my jabra bt8010 and its probably the best bluetooth stereo headset for the athena coz its got a caller ID and vibrate.i usually keep the athena in a pouch or in my pocket.i dont use the case since it makes it fatter and kind of akward to hold.playing divx,xvid,flv..etc videos are great on the athena.there are specific settings to be made in TCPMP and once they are set ur good to go.ive never had any problems playing videos after making the settings.just make sure u go look for a demo or someone with on and test it out for a while and try to get a feel for it.hope this helps
