Hello,

I have received a lenovo s856 td-lte quadcore snapdragon

the smartphone now facing encryption unsuccessful issue and requested to reset.

and i don't know if the device is on usb debug turned ON

things that i have done with the phone

i proceed to reset as requested, format userdata / cache - still resulted to encryption unsuccessful

i hard reset the phone (volume - + power button), format userdata / cache - still resulted to encryption unsuccessful

i reinstall the stock firmware, through hard reset the phone (volume - + power button), update by external sd - still resulted to encryption unsuccessful

i reinstall the stock firmware, using QFIL flasher, completely flashed - still resulted to encryption unsuccessful

p/s as advised to use TWRP fix -

tried to install TWRP with 15 SECONDS ADB INSTALLER following the detailed tutorial, and failed (the adb command not found error message appeared )

is there any other method to flash TWRP?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tali099:
Do a custom recovery like twrp(recommended) and wipe all the partitions and install stock ROM again after that wipe with the recovery immediately after the flash then flash the phone again it will set things straight

Hello guys, yesterday i got my Honor 8 and tonight i made some video recordings, the thing is that when i zoom (even only a little bit) the camera quality is very bad. Even my mother's Note 3 has a better quality, i had both phones and i tried to record the same thing at the same time. So is that normal ? P.S. I have no ideea how to use PRO Mode, i was on Auto. Thanks.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
Took the video in daylight ? Or in night mode ?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Sheldd:
It was in a very big room,there was good light and after they turn off some lights and was bad light too. For me was a dissapoinment in both case... I think even my P8 Lite is doing better... I will try today to take some photos and videos to show.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
Yeah , samples would be appreciated
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Sheldd:
Ok, so here we are. I want to mention that yesterday when i recorded i was running B131 (FRD-L09) and now i'm on B320. But nothing changed.

A little video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LdDkzovVuU

Photos: -No zoom: https://postimg.org/image/nljcicvuf/

-Maximum zoom: https://postimg.org/image/e9phg3w9v/

Idk, maybe i expected more from this camera, but for me doesn't look too good...

Tbh all huawei can't take good zoom photos, but it is a lot better with less noise than older huawei phones. Sure u can return the phone if not satisfied?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] macbuggo:
The Honor 8 is the wrong phone to use if you want to make video recordings. It only does 1080p and doesn't have OIS, so hand shakes are magnified the more you zoom in (and it's digital zoom, not optical zoom either).
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Sheldd:
Thanks both for the answers, i wanted to know if it's something wrong with my phone or it's normal for all Honor 8. I'm not going to return it, it looks great and works very well.

Cmon guys, stop complaining about camera. This is a phone, not a digital camera! Photos made by H8 are decent. In low light conditions, go with Pro photo mode and play with options, there is plenty of choices... As I said, quality of photos are not the best - in range of Samsung Galaxy S7 or Google Pixel, but decent!

Anyway, use flash always (not auto, but on), in all conditions!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] eksasol:
From the video comparison I seen on YouTube, Honor 8 video recording actually look better than both Pixel and iPhone 7 @ 1080p, unfortunately it lacks OIS so is shaky. There is just no point to zoom on a smartphone unless you have optical zoom like the iPhone 7 Plus, or at least have 4K recording, and OIS is going to be a must.

I think you should get the iPhone 7 Plus if you want to zoom. Or perhaps an Android phone that has larger micron per pixel (1.25um or more) and OIS.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] lautta10:
After facing battery and temperature issues with OOS 3.5.4 decided to go back to 3.5.3.

But first i would like tryout some custom kernels to see if they can manage and work this out.

My question is that I'm currently running locked bootloader with default encryption, so...

Is it possible to backup data partition throughout adb to reflash it once bootloader is unlocked?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] josephcsible:
You can, though note that even a full adb backup leaves out some stuff that true nandroid backups get, so don't expect absolutely everything to be there when you restore. There's a more detailed explanation of this at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1678239.

[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] BigCountry907:
Rename the RUU to

2PSTIMG.zip

Copy 2PSTIMG.zip to a external sd card.

Put sd card in phone if not allready.

Then do

Boot to download mode. Vol down + Power.

It should say file found hit volume up to flash.

Hit the volume up button.

When phone reboots to download mode again. Because it probably will.

Hit volume up again to flash entire ruu.

NOW YOU ARE BACK IN BUISNESS..

Say Thanks.

[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] der_saeufer:
Just did it on a T-Mobile branded Desire 530. Worked great once I remembered to reboot after pushing the new file.

The phone has to be rooted, obviously, since you need su access to push/pull that file.

I'm stuck at dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p36new of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p36

'dd' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Is the error i get after su
[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] der_saeufer:
That's a windows error message. You have to be in adb shell for any of this to work. When you type "adb shell" it should connect to your phone and give you a different prompt. Only then can you issue commands to the phone.

(You have to have usb debugging enabled on the phone to use adb at all, and the phone has to be rooted for the required su command to work)
[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] henrique.h12:
So, did you code this:

adb push mmcblk0p52-rfg_8-UnLocked.txt /sdcard/mmcblk0p52new

exit

exit

Then just reboot? My 530 keeps locked ;/
[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] der_saeufer:
Well, I went through the whole documented process... rooting the phone first, pulling the old file, comparing it to be sure it's the same as the 'locked' one posted (it was), pushing the new 'unlocked' file and rebooting. Once you've pushed the 'unlocked' file and put it in the correct place, the phone should be unlocked on reboot. If it doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you other than to try again and follow the instructions to the letter. If you're getting error messages along the way, resolve those.
[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] henrique.h12:
I also read the whole post then do the process normaly even with more than one M9 (m9 ok, 530 no)

p36 or p52?

The original thread only mentioned p36. Why are you now discussing p52?

In order to simply SIM unlock the 530, p36 is the partion we should be replacing, correct?

Or does it vary on this phone, and p52 needs to be overwritten?

Hi All,

I have got a T-mobile HTC desire 530. I am trying to follow the same steps but got confused. I have downloaded the file RUU_A16_UL_M60_DESIRE_SENSE70GP_TMUS_TMOUS_1.36.53 1.4 from given location and tried to follow as given instruction. I am new to android world. I have installed ADB and able to follow till step 5. I am not sure what do we mean by flashing here. is flashing will remove all the t-mobile bootloader (apps and other garbage) and remove the lock as well. Please help me here.
[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] henrique.h12:
Download the RUU file from HTC web site then open, its a .exe file that will guide you to update your system then:

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p36 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p36old

exit

exit

adb pull /sdcard/mmcblk0p36old

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Drag both files (locked partitions) into HxD and press Ctrl + K or

go to File > Analysis > File-Compare > Compare

It will prop up 'both files are identical

If there is a file difference then STOP

----------------------------------------------------------------------

adb push mmcblk0p36-rfg_8-UnLocked.txt /sdcard/mmcblk0p36new

adb shell

su

i got htc 10 too, may i ask u a little bit? i guess its same to all models.

downloaded its twrp backup & ota. can i just flash a small portion of a firmware to remove demo? is it boot, system or recovery?

Just wanna know if there is any shortcut, because i do not wish 2 unlock bootloader/install twrp. I just wanna use the most simple step to remove the demo. if there is no other way, i can go thru the bootloader unlocking n custom recovery option.
[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] BigCountry907:
I will need to see the backup from your device to tell you what is different.

It may be the same exact firmware with some bits set in other partitions.

You only need to unlock the boot loader of one device.

And flash TWRP to 1 device.

This is so you can use adb shell wile booted to TWRP to make that backup.

I found a RUU for your specific device.

You will need to copy the RUU to a sd card.

Boot to download mode with the sd card inserted.

Then when it asks hit volume up to flash the phone.

So flashing them all will be easy.

The backup is a little more work but will greatly help with my development efforts.

I should have the RUU posted for you in then next couple hours.

I can tell you that by simply flashing the pg2fs partition with a pg2fs partition from a s-off device will unlock the boot loader and S-OFF at the same time.

Trouble is you can only flash pg2fs if you are S-off

You need to boot to FTM mode to get S-off.

You can only boot FTM mode if you are S-off

So it's a real catch 22.

Now if you have a Tool to get S-off like XTC-2 Clip you can get S-off.

Or if you unlock the boot loader and use sunshine.

I'm developing a way to get S-off with my sd-card trick.

But it's gonna take some time.

[MENTION=1179365]wee2000[/MENTION]

http://www.mediafire.com/file/a59oeekihkrt1ce/2PSTIMG.zip

I named the file wrong.

So download the file from the link above.

Rename it to 0PM3IMG.zip

Case sensitive

Copy the file to a sd card.

Put the sd card in the phone.

Boot into download mode.

Power and Volume down key.

On the phone screen it will say press volume up to flash.

It will do a h-boot pre-update and then reboot.

After it reboots if it says press volume up do it again.

Sometimes 2 or 3 times.

Eventually it will flash all the files. So when you see it flash SYSTEM you know it has completed fully.

Pleas hit the thanks button. And please make that backup of your device with the demo Firmware on it.

[MENTION=1179365]wee2000[/MENTION]

Did you flash the RUU on a device now?

Oem Unlocking is easy to overcome.

I have a frp.img that has the unlock switch set.

You would need root access to flash it........Can you get root??

If you cant get root I can make a SD Card that can probably get you root access.

Your CID should be ok for unlocking.

Try

fastboot oem get_identifier_token

If it says kill switch not enabled then you need the frp.img

Other than that i have a tool to unlock if you want to sell me a device.
[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] wee2000:
i wanted to enable oem unlocking prior to unlocking bootloader, so that i could provide the info to trade with u. I have not flash any RUU yet because i wanted to preserve the demo OS for u..

[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] BigCountry907:
FRP to enable bootloader unlock

Ok here is the FRP.img

You need to

dd if=/[COLOR="Red"]external_sd[/COLOR]/frp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p49

This has the same effect as turning on Enable oem unlock.

You will be able to generate the unlock token after you flash the frp.img

Now if you could flash the pg1fs.img included here.

Then you would have full bootloader unlock and S-OFF.

You need to

dd if=/[COLOR="Red"]external_sd[/COLOR]/pg1fs.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2

What you will find is that you cannot dd the pg1fs.img.

But flashing the frp.img will enable you to unlock the bootloader.

You need root to flash FRP.

put the images on a sd card or copy to the internal storage.

edit the external_sd path to match where you put the frp.img

Then.

adb shell
su
dd if=/[COLOR="Red"]external_sd[/COLOR]/frp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p49

You might need to change the external_sd path to the path of your external sd card.

I thought you had 20 devices ??

Let me know if you need any help.
[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] wee2000:
i need root to flash frp. but from the tutorial in this site, to root it(tried kingroot but doesn't root), i need to unlock bootloader & flash twrp.. I cant achieve root without unlocking bootloader?

For these code to work, i need to have superuser, right?

dd if=/external_sd/frp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p49

dd if=/external_sd/pg1fs.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Yes mixed model about 20pc. i do have some demo OS HTC 10, x9, desire 625 as well. Do u need me to extract the software for other models? I could spare 1-2pc each unit for that purpose
[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] BigCountry907:
I'm curious what the difference is with the demo models.

The security and other options seem to be mainly controlled by the change of a few bytes in the pg1fs partition.

We only need 1 of each device to pull the backups from.

No damage will happen to any of the devices we pull the software from.

You will be able to flash them with the standard RUU to make full version.

Wow wait a min.

I forgot that there are a few partitions that the RUU does not flash.

Like pg1fs.

You should flash the RUU for the 530 see it it becomes full or stays demo.

This could turn into a fun situation.

I enjoy these type of things.

If you need RUU for other devices just pm me.

I can get you anything you need.

To get you root without unlocking the boot-loader i will have to make a special SD-Card.

Just like here.

[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] BigCountry907:
I dont need screenshots.

Im interested in looking at the raw partitions.

I borrowed a 530 for a little bit.

Have FIsH booting on a sd card.

This will give you TWRP with a locked bootloader.

We will use the terminal and run a script to update the frp and misc partitions.

Then you can unlock the bootloader.
