[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pix106:
After doing this, would we get a different result than upgrading from b360 to b380 via FF ?

Is correct b380 version number shown instead of "b360 + january 2017 security update + updated kernel" after upgrading to b380 ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DMart9406:
B380 have it all in one , but you cannot upgrade from b360 to b380 i think
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pix106:
I actually did upgrade from b360 to b380, security patch date end kernel version changed, but version number shown in settings is still b360.

Do people who upgraded directly from b131 to b380 have b380 or b360 in settings ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DMart9406:
In order to have b380 in settings you must downgrade to b131, the ones like you still have the b360 ... I think b360 is some kind of betab, i didnt recive it , i recived directly b380 , but i dont know for sure
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dedovec:
I already made this roll back to B131 two days ago, because of bad battery life at B360. After roll back to B131 Hicare prompted me for update- B360, not B380! Nevermind, i am happy with my battery life now.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] distho:
I'm using an FRD-L04 and rolled back but was only given to option to update back to B360 (3/1/2017) so I did and now the build number says NRD90M test-keys...

I feel like I may have made a terrible mistake somewhere, if anyone can guide me back?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DMart9406:
That is the "half-way" version , the version you use to downgrade from nougat to marshmalow , now you must download the MM version and force update with dload
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] distho:
Thanks for the reply! This is what I have after I downgraded to MM (Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L04_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C567B122_United States_Nonspecific) and then back to Nougat (using FF).

Would you still say that I should downgrade using the Honor 8_Firmware_FRD-L04_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.1_C567B122_United States_Nonspecific and then try to update?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dominikrod:
Why would you downgrade to version B122 when there is a newer full MM firmware B162?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] distho:
Oh, because I just wanted to downgrade so I can try to get B380 (at the beginning I was on B360 and read that the only way to get to B380 was to downgrade?)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dominikrod:
As far as I know there is no B380 firmware for the Honor FRD-L04/L14. That's an update/patch that came out just for the FRD-L09/19 to improve power consumption and stability. So I'm not sure what you're trying to do other than brick your phone.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DMart9406:
And not everyone with that versions could install that patch
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kenkie:
I am trying to download the firmware for L09 on FF but after I press the link from downloads the app close and nothing happens, am I doing it wrong? Please advice.thanks
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rafaelcantarela:
Does anyone got the B380 update for the FRD-L19C636 version?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blackwatch:
I have a slight issue after using FF and I am hoping someone maybe able to help me please.

I bought a Huawei P9 Lite around 3 weeks ago and it came as VNS-L31C432B131 out of the box. The first thing I did was unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and then Root it. I then installed Meticulus TWRP as I was going to install a custom rom but decided against it.

Then using FF and FF Proxy I installed the C432B160 update ( By pushing it to the Huawei updater ). That installed fine and I then had the official Early updater B370 option in HiCare so I installed that. During installation I saw no errors etc however I have noticed I have some missing apps and on the settings icon I have a red 1

Also If trying to go back into FF I cant connect to the servers to see if there is an Apps update I can flash.

Is there something I can do to get the missing apps or is there a way to lock the bootloader so I dont get the warning message on boot, so I can take the phone back to the store and get a new one.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Why do you guys keep messing up your phone then cry when something goes bad. Just wait until the kernel source is released by Huawei
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnhux7:
Well said.

It's being seen day after day.

People are getting a perfectly good phone and rooting it for no real reason.

Just wait Guys
[Remix OS for PC] Oberth:
Hi Everyone,

I have a Ramos i9 tablet which was pretty much the first x86 android tablet based on the Intel reference design, however pretty much like all cheaper tablets there's no longer any updates for it. Given it's technically the same hardware as a low level Win Tablet unless I'm missing something obvious it should really be able to run RemixOS. I've seen around a 'Intel Tablet Installer' but is this purely for Win tablets or will it work on the Ramos?

Specs are

CPU: Intel Atom Z2580

GPU: PowerVR SGX544MP

RAM 2GB,LPDDR2

Storage 16GB

Any help on this would be grand as RemixOS looks to be the best way to upgrade to the later Android versions.
[Remix OS for PC] wairrior:
you can try this kernel

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] KobaltPanther:
So here is my current problem: My phone will drastically slow down when trying to multitask. I.e. I basically cant do anything when Pandora is running or ill start to get stops and skips (not connection related), and occasionally, depending on the app, the phone with freeze for an extended period, things disappear from the screen, then it goes blank and back to lock screen asking for pattern rather than fingerprint for "added security." (this is what I'm calling a crash)

Many apps will also start to lag and crash after periods of time, even running on their own. Like tumblr, meetme and facebook.

I have my CPU usage up, and idle is around 7 across the board. Once it starts to creep up above 12-15 is when ill start to get the lagging, lock ups and freezes occur around 20-30, and I've seen it spike as high as ~55 before a crash. Thing is, I'm getting lock ups and freezes while the graphical bar (the red, green, blue one) is barely moving past the CPU usage numbers.

Sorry, I'm not too sure what info to provide. This is a new problem for me. My old phone (running a 1.2ghz quad core, LG optimus G) was able to multitask better than this phone. I never had any skips or freezes while running pandora AND one of those other apps on that phone. Is this a corrupted install? Is this Octo core phone just THAT slow?! I'm not super experienced with ADB, but experienced enough to use it if need be. Any help would be appreciated.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] NinjaL:
I would first try a clean flash/factory reset/cache wipe but is there a reason why you are still using cm13 vs los14? I had no issues with cm13 but los14 is much better anyways.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] KobaltPanther:
Los14 was not avail when I was flashing my phone. I use it for business so its always risky to flash and what not. Never had a problem, I just don't wanna risk it. But if this is the case, may as well move to los14.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] NinjaL:
Ah I see, yeah makes sense haha

Yeah I would backup and then try a clean flash/factory reset if you want to stay on cm13, other than that, I don't know anything general you could do as far as staying on marshmallow goes.

Los14 and Los14 based roms are much smoother however and most of the bugs have been worked out by now. If you're not set on staying with marshmallow, try out some of the nougat roms :good:

Obv you'll want to backup, wipe, flash a rom, flash gapps, wipe cache/dalvik, and reboot but you prob know the drill already haha. You are on twrp or cm recovery?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] KobaltPanther:
Nah, I'm not stuck with MM. I like to stay with the best available, so yeah, I'll definitely go with Los14. Thanks for the input! As long as its smoother and allows me to actually multitask, I'm sold. I tend to use TWRP, but that's probably just because its what I'm used to. The interface is nice. And you can update OTA.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] NinjaL:
Yeah twrp is what I use too :good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compufreek:
I had a korean 4.4 rom on my galaxy s3, it was rooted I tried to go to recovery to try out cm 14.1, I couldnt get in trough key combo so I used application, did everything like many times before and after all installed, the phone rebooted and got stuck at cm loading screen. tried to leave battery out over night and then inserted battery and let phone turned on for a while and nothing worked, still could not get to recovery or download (none of the keys are working) so i load up odin and insert the jig, i get to download mode, try to reflash twrp, nothing i tried cwm and still nothing. I install everything back to stock and i get stuck at samsung logo (sound of the bootup silences halfway trough but led slowly fades and back on aggain )

So to cut it short, everything is working but i cant get the phone to boot and the key combo doesnt work (keys are ok and functioning properly otherwise) is there any way to get to recovery if you cant boot the phone and key combo doesnt work ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Nope. There is no way to communicate with the device. You'll have to fix the buttons.

Beamed in by telepathy.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compufreek:
How do I do that ? The keys as I said are working, I have tested them before the brick. What could be the reason for the phone not going into download/recovery mode?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] hacam:
Hi all, just got my new V20 (Verizon)! Feels good to be back after my beloved G3 died last year. I know that Android 7.0 includes the new file-based encryption, but you have to enable it from developer options. Should be "convert to file encryption." However I don't have the option on my V20. Am I missing something? Does anyone else have the option?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mva1985:
On Verizon as well and I don't have it either.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] nexus6r3plicant01:
All v20 have encryption enabled out the box as when we root and use TWRP have to wipe the whole thing
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] farleydwnsu:
Does that mean that after we finish installing TWRP and boot the phone for the first time it will start using the file based encryption again?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Team DevDigitel:
No

To be able to use twrp you have to remove encryption and mot use it as it blocks twrp from backing up your data.

Therez a fix for twrp i started to port to the v20 so it wasnt a requirement to decrypt but in all honesty encryption slows your handset down a ton!

So you either use full device encyrption by defualt.

Or you formatt your phone and flash a Rom that has decryption turned off.

If you ask the dev of your model nicely that makes the rom you are gonna use i bet he would make you a boot.img with it on if you wanted. Just know that twrp backups of your data will not work.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JMOLINA:
Hi to everyone,

I want to share with all, my worst ever experience with a device (htc kaiser) and the horrid Customer Service provided by HTC Americas.

First, this is my 5 or 6 HTC device and 4th in one year time (all devices before this one has work flawless).

I bought the HTC Kaiser on Mobileplanet and was delivered to my on Sep. 26 2007.

After just 3 weeks of usage the screen lost its input (touch) sensitivity, so I call HTC Americas Repair Service Dept. to inquire about a solution.

They toll me I had to send on my expense the device to be evaluated and if the problem was cover by warranty, it would be repair without further cost to me. Anyhow, even that the phone has only 3 weeks of usage, I had to provide a credit card or they would not give a Return Authorization Number (how is that).

The phone was repair under warranty and return to me with a new screen but without a new screen protector (when the phone was send, It has the oem screen protector).

After 2 weeks of usage, the phone module of the device stop working, it would not pickup the signal from the carrier, it not even try to search for a network.

Of course I try all the posible software solutions: shut off the phone, soft reset, hard reset, etc. Nothing will make the phone to pickup any cellular signal.

This time, I call the number for HTC Custumer Service in the USA. It turns out that this number actually is for a Software Technical Support but they would not provide any customer support beside software technical advice, so my call was transfer to the HTC Repair Center.

I explain to the HTC Representative that this was the 2 time in 4 weeks, that the phone stop working and since that I would like to get a replacement phone.

I was told that HTC would not in any case, offer a replacement phone and as before, I had to send the phone again and provide my credit card again if I wanted the phone to be repair, even that is under warranty.

So in short, I had spend $800 for a phone that only worked 4 weeks, that the manufacture refuse to replace and if I want it repair, even that is under warranty, I have to pay for the shipping cost and provide a credit card to cover for repairs, even that the phone still under warranty.

Can anyone give ideas on how to proceed to get HTC to replace the phone and provide a better customer support.

Regards and happy new year to all.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jaingram:
I'm surprised you got any support from HTC America, this phone isn't support by the America's. Any authorized dealer should have told you before purchase. Kaiser support is handled over seas.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JMOLINA:
Well mobileplanet never toll me that the phone was not supported in the USA.

Do you think they would take some resposability in the matter?

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] terragady:
Hi, this happend already to me few times so I decided to put it on here.

Sometimes when I pick up my phone and try to unlock it nothing happens, fingerprint and button all the same it looks like it completely Off. Then i have to press few times a button to actually start it and it's booting. There is huge battery loss after it boot up. See image.

I am in Stock 4.0.2 no root just few standard apps installed. Nothing fancy. This happend already few times to me. I left the phone locked and when I want to unlock its dead. Also it is behaving weirdly, when I turn it off manually I just need to press longer a button and it's turning on, but here I need to press it few times to work.

Does it happen to anyone else?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Inflection:
Honestly, there's not enough information to understand exactly why it's happening. You need to get a logcat in the time before the reboot; unfortunately, logcats get erased during a reboot so it might be a little tricky getting it if the reboot is seemingly random. Someone had posted this as a possible way of getting the log:

Otherwise, it's hard for anyone to help. I'm not much help in actually figuring out the issue, but I know if you can get the log, someone else probably can help.

For more information on logcats: Logcat Tutorial
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] terragady:
Yeah I was trying to connect it to PC but nothing, so it is turned off. I will try next time to run command when turning on, maybe there will be something but I do not see it working before it gets erased. I was hoping that anyone else is having this problem so it might be rom related. It is completely random so you can;t guess when it happens.

I had it only few times so it's not super annoying but still it is not normal behavior. In addition it is weird that battery went from 55% to 33%, just phone reboot will not drain that much... I hope there is nothing wrong with the phone itself.

Happened to me to on 4.0.2. Rebooted twice a day.

Solution to me was Qualcomm flash back to stock 3.5.1 and uodate from internal to 3.5.4. OTA 4.0.2.

The theard "how to unbrick".

Not one reboot until now in days.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] terragady:
I think I found a culprit responsible for it. It is Hill Climb 2 game which doesn't close properly sometimes and I think it causes some kind of crash in the system. Is it possible?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Inflection:
It's possible. Not necessarily the reason, but it might be. Either uninstall the app or freeze it using Titanium. Greenify might also work, but that allows the app to start itself up and potentially continue the issue. See if that stops the crashes for a couple of days.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] terragady:
The problem is that it doesn't happen often and only when I quit the game and lock the phone immediately after that. I am not sure if that's a reason though, just guessing because it happens after this last time. I will uninstall this game anyway, it's just time eater :D

[Mate 8 General] shadovraven:
I bought this phone like few months ago. When I held it for first time and used for few days I was completely charmed. For some time, this was the best android phone ever created for me but right now it's not. Why is that? Maybe because EMUI is a piece of trash. This is literally one of the worst android skins ever created, along with other ****ty chinese skins of course. The problems are not lack of app drawer or other generic and dumb issues people have about emui, this skin is broken to the core. Made by monkeys with brain damage. I tried all available android version for this phone and all of them have some annoying issues. In other words, this phone is unusable and it shouldn't be because it's not cheap. I'm a power user but constantly fiddling with a phone to make some basic functionality work is annoying even for me. Issues I experienced by firmware version:

- Notifications stops working as soon as phone enter doze (B152) and no, disabling doze is not a fix. Disabling a core system functionality which can be used to save phone from garbage google services doing havoc in the background is not a fix,

- Google backup transport constantly wakes up modems, sometimes every one second, sending very small data batches and completely decimating battery. Sometimes it does this for few minutes and sometimes it does it for hours. It doesn't matter how many google account I have or how many applications I have it happens every freaking time. On every single firmware version. And of course, backup disabled, sync also (all firmware versions)

- Doze is useless on Mate 8, doze is great because it fixes (actually it doesn't fix anything, it's jus workaround) horrible android battery life in standby. Does it works on Mate 8? Of course not ! Because dumb Huawei programmers added every single google service and app to permament whitelist which renders doze useless and main doze feature is ability to block ****ty google services (every version except B560+)

- Incosistent battery life (extreeeeeemeeeely incosistent battery life), same amount of apps in the background, same amount of notifications and one night - 1 % of battery, another one - 10%, amazing (all firmware versions).

- killing applications in the memory after long time of inactivity (of course killing apps, which shouldn't be killed, added to either protected or not closed apps, depending on version). I leave phone with 5 apps open in the background, at the morning only 1 is left in the memory. What is this? 50$ phone for christ sake?

- propably more smaller issues i forgot.

So is there a way (maybe some magic firmware version) to fix this phone? So instead of being garbage it will be actually useful and not frustrating? If not I'm selling this because I honestly can't remember a phone which annoyed me that much. Since 2006. And no, those are not my issues or I'm not using it wrong. These are well known issues baked deeply into crappy emui source code and "I don't have them" means I don't notice them.
[Mate 8 General] Phlox49:
I got this phone a few weeks ago, and I'm also unhappy with it. Specifically, the mirror screen function is super pixelated on my TV and almost unusable. No other Android phone I've used has this problem.

Update to Nougat with Emui 5. It's imho a huge improvement. Very very happy with it. Will never go back to Samsung or HTC.

I got a DLOO version. Admittedly, had a frustrating time trying to root, debrand. But once done, I'm now on L29C432B320 and using Nova launcher. No issues on usability or battery, etc. As suggested, hopefully EMUI 5 will further enhance the experience.
