This thread is for whoever wishes to contribute to the development of this particular model, (Galaxy On5), Any and all help is appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] hydroman202:
As per request, I unpacked the stock recovery, repacked it, and attempted to flash it through odin. The result was "failed", on the odin side, but the device did not say anything, (This was in download mode).
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
Upload the boot image so I can compile it.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] hydroman202:
I would, but all I have is the recovery img. How I got that was from another user who got the firmware. I will ask him to see if he can send me the boot img.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
OK I have not compiled TWRP with a recovery before so just to be safe I use a boot image. I just split it with Mkboot tools and replace the images in the device tree source code made for the T-Mobile/Metro version.

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ----------

The build prop has to match in order for it to work. Upload the boot image and I can work on it.

It's pointless at the moment even compiling custom recovery for this device as it won't flash.

It seems this device has a locked bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
Well it compiled with no problem with the Metro version all you do is enable development settings and select OEM unlock and USB debugging. I didn't have to use ADB for "fastboot OEM unlock". So I don't know. Thanks for the heads up.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ashyx:
Compiling isn't the issue, it's the fact the image is unsigned. There are no special headers I can see in the stock recovery image, which could cause the issue, so it seems purely down to the bootloader being locked down.

Also regarding OEM unlock and USB debugging.

It isn't and never has been required to enable usb debugging to flash a recovery.

I know this is incorrectly posted all over the Internet, but usb debugging is purely an OS dependent operation and has no use outside of a booted OS.

We are looking at alternative ways, but options are extremely limited.

Also check out the boot image. It's identical to the T-Mobile Metro version. Would you be able to test it out?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ashyx:
I dont own the device I'm just chipping in.

Where did you get the boot image, is it for the S550TL?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
Yes it's for the S550L [MENTION=6430051]hydroman202[/MENTION] gave it to me so I split it with Mkboot tools and compiled.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ashyx:
That was the recovery image I sent him wasn't it?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
It said boot image so I split it and compiled it as on5ltetfntmo
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] hydroman202:
Does anyone know how to perform "oem unlock" without fastboot? Every time I try to access it, it reboots back into the normal os.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ashyx:
You need to enable it in developer settings.

What was the image you sent to czarsuperstar@gmail.com?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] hydroman202:
The image i sent him was the boot img from my device, which i found somewhere on the internet, (i don't remember where, i had done A LOT of googling), but i was lucky enough to find it. sorry i cant remember the exact site.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ashyx:
Just the boot.img you found or the whole firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] hydroman202:
also, i have been trying to find ways to unlock the bootloader of this device, but all of the methods i have found require root or fastboot. Do you have any ideas on how i might achieve root?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] hydroman202:
I wish i had the whole firmware, but it was just the boot img. I was pretty sure it was the right one, but i might have been mistaken.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilzad:
I am looking to buy a tablet I come across 2 tablets which have intrigued me the xperia z3 compact and the nvidia shield k1. I liked them both for the specs and low price. The tablet will be used for surfing the internet, youtube, Facebook, games, watching movies things like that so I was wondering if someone who has both or has had experience can recommend me which one is better or if there is another tablet that is better suited for me.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plopingo:

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilzad:
If they both are the same price which one would you go for?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plopingo:
I bought the Shield yesterday because I want to play games with.

But If I was not in this situation (more video/internet/app usage) I will definitively go for the Sony because despite the smaller battery she has better battery life and not a little it's like 10 hrs more in certain condition so very well optimized rom from sony.

But maybe I can fix the shield battery with a custom rom will see ;)
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niii4:
The z3's bottleneck is the GPU.

---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------

If you set the Shield power mode to just 2 CPU cores, you'll get much more battery life.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plopingo:
And the shields interface remain smooth?

No problem for watching video and stuff or it start lagging?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niii4:
It still runs smooth. You may sense a difference with highly demanding games. Or when you transcode videos.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plopingo:
thanks you for all this information :)
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:
You cannot disable cores on the k1. You can verify this with cpuz. Also the z3 compact tablet has a terrible processor combo by today's standards and doesn't come anywhere near the k1. It also does not have nvidia specific games, console mode, or gamestream (although this can be done with a 3rd party app call moonlight streaming). The speakers are also not as good and it will probably never get another update, ever. There is no reason to buy the sony tablet over the shield.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plopingo:
why you have the setting for manage core if its not working ?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niii4:
Then cpuz is apparently showing wrong data, I'd say.

Plenty apps have compatibility issues with a myriad of Android devices.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:
Unfortunately cpuz is accurate and you cannot disable any cores on the shield tablet, despite what the UI might be telling you.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niii4:
Benchmarks tell a different story.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:
Ill run antutu for you right now, 2 and then 4 cores, and post the results. I assure you the cores will all be active no matter what. They are always firing no matter what you do.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:
The benchmarks do indicate that there is a performance hit, surprisingly. I ran a total of 8 benchmarks to be sure. I am not sure exactly what is happening, but the cores are not being turned off, that's for sure. You can verify this with any CPU monitoring app, I tried 5 different ones and they all said the same thing. I think maybe when you force the CPU into 2 core mode, it may under clock two of the cores or something, but not disable them. It's helpful to know that the option at least does something and is not just there and fake lol. However like I mentioned in another post of mine, setting the performance mode to custom to enable only two cores, will perform worse for battery like than just using optimized. Forcing two cores for individual games, might be helpful however, but probably not by much. As you can see from the following benchmarks, the scores are not halved by disabling half the cores, they are only slightly reduced. Not exactly sure what's going on, but may look into it further in the near future.

Benchmark 1 - two cores enabled:

CPU: 18378

Benchmark 2 - two cores enabled:

CPU: 18374

Benchmark 3 - four cores enabled:

CPU: 22660

Benchmark 4 - four cores enabled:

CPU: 22409
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Under what kind of conditions would that be? Engadget's review says 13.5 to 14 hours for their continuous video loop test, and they estimate 10 hours in "real world" use conditions.

https://www.engadget.com/2015/01/11/sony-xperia-z3-tablet-compact-review/

I get around 7 hours of screen-on time with my Shield, running stock and not messing with the cores.

The Sony tablet's battery life is impressive, for sure. But to say a 10 hour difference, is probably an overstatement.

This thread makes me wonder (yet again) where are the tablets? I know the tablet market is pretty stagnant, but its still a bit ridiculous that we are sitting here comparing a tablet from 2015 versus one from 2014. NVIDIA shelved its plan to update the Shield tablet this year. Not much else on the market. On the higher end, Samsung neglected to update its Galaxy Tab S2 this year.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plopingo:
maybe not deactivate but consume less battery it's what I need :)
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:
So under what circumstances will you switch to 2 core mode to save battery? The tablet has great battery until it fires up a game and there's not much you're going to do about gaming battery life.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plopingo:
more battery for movie/netflix :)
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seh6183:
Switching over to 2 cores during a movie will likely cost you battery due to the fact that the minimum clock speed for custom is much higher than the minimum clock speed for optimized.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plopingo:
My shield is coming in 2 days now :laugh: so thanks for all information you gave me.

I will do my own test and see the best result :good:
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madlive:
I have had both tablets. The k1 is brilliant for games. But the Z3c tablet beats in battery life and also day to day speed. I think that the EMMC module is faster and the +1GB of RAM makes quite the difference. So for browsing, regular use I would pick the Z3c, also the screen is suburb. Games? go for the K1
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedreo1997:
Well, now I messed it up again.

On a XT907 who had only 514 MB free (clearing cache in Settings > Storage), I changed from Dalvik to ART wanting to know what would happen (expecting only good things).

First of everything, when it turned ON again, the RAZR M said:

Android is upgrading... X of 218​

My face: :eek: (I only have installed MercadoLibre, a game -League of Angels: Fire Raiders-, Twitter, Facebook Lite, Banco Mercantil, Xapo and PayPal. Total: 7 apps). No mods, no root, no nothing.

After turning on (exactly 77 minutes after), it said:

Unfortunately com.android.phone has stopped​

But also, on the Notifications bar, I have the symbol of Low Disk Space, so I assume memory got to 0 MB free.

I want to know: Can I recover my personal files from the Internal Memory? Or I just think they are lost and just use RSD Lite and re-install? (I tried with 4 USB Cables to connect it to a PC and it just charges, but no data connection)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] tak.japan:
any news!?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] moderateinny:
It looks awesome...but $120 for a cradle? Ouch.

I had one of their GPS docks for a Treo 650 and it was a piece of junk. When it worked, it worked well but the design for the power input jack and crappy power cord (with no retention system) made the dock a pain to use.

Hopefully their lofty price of $120 means they've learned how to make a better product and now need to charge more to recoup that R&D. Nonetheless, I still have that old GPS dock if they'd like to offer me a competitive trade up! :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] osunick:
It's the combination of jacks that makes it worth the cash. With my 8125 I had a near-factory level of integration with handsfree calling (external mic) and stereo audio into my car's head unit. Unfortunately, none of the other cradles have a mic input.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] wareagle99:
I have to say that I am pretty excited about this as well. If it works as well as everyone says it does this is exactly what I am looking for. When it comes out I am getting this and the slim rubberized case. Hurry up :)

I'm thinking that he was referring to the 6800 from the link above.

But... I'll be checking every day to find out when it's available. Particularly if like the mogul it will work with extended batteries and with the slim/rubberized/hard shell case!

Looks like Seidio will be getting a couple hundred clams from me.:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] scooter1010:
I don't know about that. The coming soon for the Kaiser/Tilt is gone and there seems to be no answer from Seidio. When people ask about this they get no reply.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] maherb:
It is the link at the beginning of the thread
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] osunick:
Seidio said that the Tilt kit would be _like_ the 4700X one but in another thread they made it very clear that the 4700X kit is not compatible with the tilt. You should cancel your order if you already made it.

I have wanted to find a way to get VOLTE working on ATT ever since I got my S7 EDGE (G935F). I may be wrong, but My understanding is that you have to have an ATT Device in order to get it on ATT.

I am wondering if anyone has found a way to make this happen and if so, what steps could I follow to do it as well? I have tried using ATT CSC and that didn't help at all - at least not to my knowledge -

Anyone ?

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] digitalbreak:
So, just like others I have been itching to install the Nougat beta and boy what a ride I had. I used the Charles method and installed the beta successfully. While install was great, the software was not. I had several things missing and It did not go well.

First and foremost, beta is ONLY for FRD-L04 models which is the US 32GB single sim version and NOT for the FRD-L14 64GB models. The beta build really screwed up my phone and I had to downgrade to official MM build. The software doesn't really tell there is a mismatch in the model as technically they are the same specs except for the storage.

To downgrade, I read this thread and then downloaded and restored from the image from the Honor 8 downloads page. Restored to MM successfully but guess what, my model number showed FRD-L04 and not FRD-L14. This was a problem. Why? Well, it turns out when you set up Android Pay, it clearly tells that I am running a custom ROM. While all day to day function work right, you are still running a custom rom as you are not running the software for FRD-L14.

Honor 8 site does not have the restore image in their downloads page. I called their support and they acknowledged that the restore image available is not for FRD-L14. They are working on it to see why they don't have this image available for download.

So, how do you restore?

Thanks to this thread, I was able to get the full image. Below are the links:

1. update.zip

2. update_data_full_hw_usa.zip (only if you need the bloat)

Download those and flash them from SD card as described in this thread. That will get you the MM build. Below is the build number you should be if you are in MM:

- FRD-L14C567B162

Hope tha helps.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] clsA:
[MENTION=5323697]digitalbreak[/MENTION]

Although your post is very informative your missing some key elements.

Where is your Rollback Update.app zip ?

The correct way to restore MM from Nougat is to flash rollback and then your last full update.zip (B162 ?)

you could try the one for the L04 here >> http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=92098&version=360320&siteCode=us

the link you posted to FRD-L04, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.1, C567B122 is useless and just makes it confusing

Also flashing the update_data_full_hw_usa.zip is how you update the /cust partition

that's where your Local.prop is stored and that's where your phone gets the information displayed in the Settings / About screens.

So if you had not previously changed the /cust their would be no need to flash it again after the Full update.app is flashed.

You would be able to tell this if your Settings/About screens are wrong after the flash.

Also you state that using the Charles method did not go well ? That's really not possible, because this method downloads the files directly from Huawei servers

and the update is the same as if the OTA were pushed to your phone. Only real way to mess that up is to input the wrong response in Charles App and download the wrong update. If you had linked the correct FRD-L14C567B360 file in Charles you would have had no problems.

Bottom line

If your on Nougat Beta and you want to return to MM

you simply dload flash the Rollback and then the Full B162

and you should be back to stock. If Settings / About is incorrect

dload flash the update.app inside the update_data_full_hw_usa.zip

And just for reference here are all the files available for you phone >> http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=frd-L14

And to get the correct update_data_full_hw_usa.zip for each version

just edit the update.zip download link

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1278/g104/v72029/f1/full/update.zip

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] digitalbreak:
Unfortunately that doesn't help for FRD-L14, at least for me as it didnt succeed. I tried the included manual step by step but it did not restore to MM.

If I am not wrong, when you use Charles method and download the update, it applies those and hence since I had pulled L04 update into my L14, the /cust was changed by the OTA.

In the sense that I had pulled the update for the wrong model. It was hard to find that the beta program was only for FRD-L04 and not for FRD-L14. And that thread is so long it is difficult to even guess that if you are a newcomer.

In theory yes and works well for FRD-L04. I couldnt find the builds in Honor's web site for FRD-L14. Getting to know the servers from other methods is OK, but thats not how most customers do. We geeks do that :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] harryrasul:
I can do the rollback but I just realized that I have the 64GB version which is the FRD-L14

http://www.phonemore.com/huawei-honor-8/models/629

I'm not sure if there is a FRD-L14(64GB) variant of the MM firmware available anywhere. If so, I'm not aware of the link of the site to find it. Secondly, if I do install the FRD-L04(32GB) variant of the MM firmware would that create problems for the phone in upgrading and later trying to root and install custom ROM etc.

Much Thanks
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] digitalbreak:
Installing the FDR-L04 image on FDR-L14 will tell Google that you are using an unidentified or a custom ROM version. That will limit certain services/apps like for example Android Pay and even sometimes updater to work. Android Pay certainly didn't work for me. Some say its just a file that contains the hardware info that needs to change while the rest are the same, but I have had no luck with that approach.
