Back up your data

- Unlock your bootloader

- Flash TWRP

- Root

- Use SRK Tool to change your Oem and cust files to the same version of the rom you want to install

- install your rom same version than oem and cust with TWRP

- Let boot completly

- Factory reset

- Then relock your bootloader with fastboot

It will factory reset again and you'll have a full official working device.

It should work just great. There are some tutorials on the forum just look at it.

Try the step by step guide in this link : https://xdaforums.com/mate-8/general/how-to-install-nxt-l09c432b560-official-t3542546

I did it to get my L29C636B321 to L29C432B560 and it's fully working.
[Mate 8 General] bailey2408:
I also debranded my L29C636B320 and running L29C432B560 now.. however data keeps cutting out and cant download mms messages.. I did not use twrp to install cust and oem as you stated.. is that the problem and how do you install cust and oem in twrp?

Watch tihs video instruction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZVsIKtdgV4
[Mate 8 General] didshub:
In fact i used SRKtools to backup my oem and cust, then i change my oem and cust with SRKtools from c636 to c432.

Then i just followed the step by step guide of this thread : https://xdaforums.com/mate-8/general/how-to-install-nxt-l29c432b560-official-t3540042
[Mate 8 General] bailey2408:
yeah thats exactly what I did too.. most everything works.. except occasional data disconnect and cant get mms to download.. was wondering if you took extra step of restoring oem and cust from c636 after flashing 432b560? can you get mms?
[Mate 8 General] didshub:
i was on NXT-L29C636B321 and i never rooted or flashed something else on my mate. (i only upgraded with dload method a few months ago)

For what i remember i did like that:

-Unlocked bootloader with dc unlocker and SRKtools.

-installed twrp with SRKTOOLS

- rooted with SRKtools or flashing with twrp i can't remember.

- backup oem and cust and then change it from c636 to C432 with srktools.

- factory reset

- relocked bootloader

then i've done the step by step guide of the B560 official from the beginning.

Everything works great. dual sim, mms etc...
[Mate 8 General] bailey2408:
Well I did the rollback.. still rebranded as l29c432 running b192 and of course all working including mms.. shall investigate further
[Mate 8 General] wmfreak:
anybody attempted debranding while on EMUI 5.0?

My AL10C00 is running B577 and is well except the little annoying chinese characters here and there. I'd love to debrand it to L29C423 (EU) once and for all.

My bootloader is unlocked. Please advice.

Is there a way to root the (2015) Nvidia Shield Android TV 500gb Pro running Nougat? I know there is a way to do the 16gb version.

Thanks
[Shield Android TV General] hallydamaster:
I just updated mine this evening.

Installed SuperSU from TWRP, and everything is good, so no problems.
[Shield Android TV General] SuperRedX:
Okay thanks. I will try it out later.
[Shield Android TV General] I_did_it_just_tmrrow:
THX 4 reply and info but when you update with ota it should reflashed your recovery and locked your bootloader again, right?

I try to find a simple way to flash the new nougat-update on my foster device (pro, 2015 version) without need to unlock the bootloader and reflash the twrp-recovery again after it. Did you use this recovery?

Greetings by Idijt
[Shield Android TV General] hallydamaster:
I flashed the official TWRP when it came out. Since then, I haven't done anything.

Yesterday I just applied the full OTA as asked by the SATV. I didn't replace recovery or remove root.

TWRP flashed the OTA just fine, but halted on the restart, so did that manually.

After that, I let it boot. Restarted to recovery, which was still my TWRP, and flashed newest SuperSU.zip.

Job done!
[Shield Android TV General] abraxxas:
I was running rooted MM and accepted nougat update, the update used TWRP and all went well just lost root, so I sideloaded the supersu and all working well.
[Shield Android TV General] Pizzo78:
Hello to all. My shield was with root before upgrading to Android 7, after I reinstalled TWRP and I loaded supersu. At first start everything worked as it should and then lose root permissions on the following day. Now when I try to install supersu seems to work, TWRP does not return errors but when I restart the shield pro, the permissions are not active. If anyone can help me solve. I'm sorry for my English, I use google translate
[Shield Android TV General] Ichijoe:
Yes it reflashed the recovery partition, but why would it relock the bootloader? In any case I was able to reflash TWRP (as my Recovery), and than SuperSU, (as One does) on my '15 Pro (500Gb), without any major heartburn.

Thankfully I haven't quite ran into that problem. But being slightly more careful to not slide (or swipe) the Permissions Bar (at TWRPs first boot. I can only presume that having done this, before ' cause I was an idiot, was what caused me to softbrick after the Update)... So as to avoid future softbricks.

Again everything seemed to go well I was in fact rooted, but because I opted not to reset the Permissions at that first boot. It turned out that the /system Partition was still set as Read Only! Which was a bit of a be-yitch, meaning the only way I could get AdAway working this was was to eventually open /system and set a symlink to /data/data/hosts, than make /system Read Only again.

There isn't really many other Apps sans ES File Explorer Pro that also require such special Permissions, that I'd have an immediate use for. And, IIRC ES File Explorer never gave me as much trouble as AdAway has.

So chances are that this is where you should be looking. e.g. Your Filesystem Permissions. Of course you change these ultimately at your own risk.
[Shield Android TV General] Pizzo78:
I think I know well the TWRP operation, I use it for a long time on all my phones. I cleaned it up and repeat the procedure from the beginning but was not successful. Not even install supersu, if I set it manually, on startup it tells me that the device is not rooted
[G4 General] Al0n:

[G4 General] kouzelnik3:
I am not able to flash it. On 9% it shows the error :/
[G4 General] heroutm:
Same here. Error after passing 9%.
[G4 General] kessaras:
this is not new , this is v20g SEA ... v20g we got it in other countries since a year ago. v20k italy is latest for our phone.

tell them that "one year later its too late to release v20g there but thank you anyway" haha
[G4 General] Al0n:
V20g is internal version for SEA.

It is new version because it includea 01-01-2017 security patch
[G4 General] jurastefo:
V20k version some link with Kdz?
[G4 General] Velkyrix:
Well this shows that LG do still (Somewhat) update our phone. Probably getting nougat in may tho XD
[G4 General] tmihai20:
Apparently SEA is South East Asia. I am waiting for an Europe kdz.
[G4 General] klisza1993:
can i flash this KDZ file ?

i got h815 and im from poland - if its matter.
[G4 General] kessaras:
doesn't matter where you r from.
[G4 General] tmihai20:
People with International version have reported issues while flashing. Read above. I am not trying to flash this specific version.
[G4 General] klisza1993:
Seems to be that I have a bootliop issue.
[G4 General] gentr:

[G4 General] sinple:
This version introduce rich text communication
[G4 General] kouzelnik3:
What do you mean by this?
[G4 General] Windows10Mobile:
I have installed this and get the same error. HOWEVER, there is a fix for it.

https://yadi.sk/d/KIG5F82jmXcUR/LGUP_0x2000_Error_Fix

copy the following LGUP_8994.dll to C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\8994
[G4 General] kouzelnik3:
After I've installed it, it says that this firmware is not for normal users or something like that.
[G4 General] Windows10Mobile:
yeah mine gets same error message whenever I reboot my phone.

the work around is easy for this problem, press back button.

it is a fair trade-off for me because I get this message in favor of Google's JAN security pack.
[G4 General] jurastefo:
Is some possible how to flash it this firmware for International version phone or waiting for europe version?. Always suck on 9%
[G4 General] kouzelnik3:
It is... As you can see three posts before, there is a solution.

And it is functional because I tried it and it finished the installation.

But I've turned back to 20h for europe.
[G4 General] jurastefo:
Why are you return back? Some bug?
[G4 General] kouzelnik3:
It installed some bloatware to my phone like some stuff from Orange and something like MY EE. And it didn't work as I expected at all. It is probably not the constructive reason, but I didn't want to have this firmware installed in my mobile. :)
[G4 General] mluciani70:
I have a SEA version and just in case you use it... SEA firmware don't include the mirror link option. (I flashed my phone with the French firmware to use Mirror Link)

Hi do you have French firmware with january security patch and mirror link? If yes please share link
[G4 General] waagbull:

[G4 General] mluciani70:

[G4 General] jkissane:
Same for me, bit disappointing that nothing new has come out since then but LG seem to be on a ~6 month cycle for the G4 when it comes to the Google security patches. Hopefully we'll see something for the EU version soon.
[G4 General] EVicente:
this KDZ could be installed in a phone with the big cores turned off?
[G4 General] tmihai20:
[MENTION=4836123]Al0n[/MENTION]: can you please check if there is any news in the KDZ released today? There are a lot from Europe, mostly from Vodafone.
[G4 General] kouzelnik3:
If only it was Nougat...
[G4 General] kessaras:
Of course it isn't nougat. V20h Greek is the latest and of course it's mm
[G4 General] kouzelnik3:
Yes, but on devtester.ro are some new firmwares especially from Vodafone and one from Korea. So maybe?
[G4 General] kessaras:
a few countries got a new v10b. that looks wierd. but right after those v10b , a greek v20h is the latest.

So i don't have high hopes.

If one of those was nougat , it would roll out for all countries just like 20D , right ?
[G4 General] kouzelnik3:
Yes, it will rollout for all countries, but LG is slow and they will release some firmwares now, some of them few days later etc. If there is a new nougat update, it will be v30 version.
[G4 General] kessaras:
i don't want to create a new thread every time we get a new firmware.

is it possible someone on windows os to run the kdz extractor and share the latest v20h greek modem and bootloader ?
[G4 General] jurastefo:
Yes please share v20h greek link for download.
[G4 General] adelpozoman:
not getting update

one stupid questiln. mine came with v20h, but havent seen any update on the softelware center?
[G4 General] kessaras:
Each country got a different update. So we manually flash the latest
[G4 General] adelpozoman:
ok, how can i know what is the latest on my country?(spain)

and if I do manually like you said, it will wipe or be like a normal OTA update?
[G4 General] kouzelnik3:
You can find out which version is the latest for you your country for example if you write your IMEI in any website like devtester.ro etc.

And if you do the update manually, using lgup, it won't wipe your data if you choose upgrade method. If you choose refurbish, it will wipe you data in the internal storage.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jetsetwilly:
Just wondered, if most people want a pure Android experience, why do all the manufacturers insist in putting their spin on it? It must cost them more in development and, ultimately, unhappy customers and fewer sales...why not just save the hassle and release the hardware with a stock software experience?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] MrMD69:
1. Eg Samsung have it own "app store" that make money.

2. Some of user want to use re-maked software.

3. Money

4. Money

5. Custom branding needs - not every brands want to looks like a clean Android.

6. Overall money - eg they said "ooooo we bring a loot of work to our customer experience with system"
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] CampfireVibés:
Imo zte should have just themed the icons, & allowed the user to flash cm like themes but with deeper customization like re scaling and re positioning of elements and grids of the ui. now that would have been awesome. hmm and maybe throw in a smart notice widget with google assistant integration; imagine the lg g4 widget but with the brains of google assistant XD
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
Actually, I'm one of those who doesn't want a pure Android experience because it lacks the customizations and options I need. Last year I got a Huawei with EMUI, and then I sold it to get a phone with pure Android and I have to say that I missed EMUI since the first day because it came with a lot of features and things that are actually useful and I can say I was using at least 90% of those things in order to make the usability better: fingerprint gestures, one hand mode, movement gestures, apps, etc.

Before I used to get devices with pure Android and then install a couple of ROM'S/Add-on in order to have a great experience, but many UI have been improved by now and they offer a more mature and stable experience without the need to be rooting or anything. I can talk about Huawei with EMUI or Xiaomi with MIUI, both started like crap, but right now they are more polished and better, and probably that's what ZTE wants to achieve in the future, because MiFavor feels like a lot like a version of EMUI from a couple of years ago.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
Same here, no more than 10GB for system. That's why I always do a full reset and wipe when I get a new device, and I even delete all the internal memory. Some manufacturers like to put garbage on the internal memory.

---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

It's been like that since new, nothing to do with factory resets. I've done a few of those already. Must be Chinese bloatware. Just not sure though what I can remove
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nigelnkj:
Is it a China model?

Do a factory reset and do not use Google to restore, use the 'WeShare' app to backup all data to your SD card before you factory reset. When done resetting, just open 'WeShare' and choose restore data from SD

Only do this if your total internal storage shows 16GB or somewhere around there

People don't want stock android. Xda people, yes. Normal people, no.

If you remember some manufacturers had "Google play editions" of their regular phones. Which were their phone (galaxy s X) or so, but stock Android. They didn't sell. People =/= xda people in an way.

I still have a vzw galaxy s4, mdk bootloader (semi unlocked) running 5.1 GPE. I think there's a aicp 7.x rom available, but nothing official as this device has been EOL for a while. It's a spare/backup phone which is used rarely.

Give this man a cookie!

The truth is that normal people like those extra functionalities that a custom UI gives, and I had every Nexus until the Nexus 6 and I used to root and install a lot of stuff, but from 2-3 years to now, stock roms on the phones are pretty decent by now.

People didn't buy them because they were full price. They could get big discounts on the carrier version.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] cutterjohn:
I take it that by this you mean that you'd like the customization w/o having to root it? As IIRC there's a VERY GOOD and VERY COMPREHENSIVE customization tool that works on rooted devices. I've forgotten the name of it now as by the time that I found it, I was pretty happy with stock android v. bloated LG, HTC, etc.

Secondly many of the features that you mention are AFAIK standard Android features. Usually it seems if any extras are any good that they eventually show up in stock or a google app, e.g. swype enabled keyboard which the google keyboard now does as well although to me it seems that ALL version(swype to stock) have SEVERELY dumbed down the default dictionaries as when the feature first appeared it was so accurate but nowadays I get imbecility by default. I haven't gotten round to digging into this particular gripe yet as I've essentially given up on phones/tablets for any meaningful communication beyond as a phone. Anything remotely complex waits until the ULTIMATE input device is available, i.e. a computer and ... wait for it ... a KEYBOARD (although I do like active styluses, not the crappy long finger capacitive crap... even m$ hw rec is halfway decent... and beats swyping, etc. by miles but is still no REAL-honest-to-god-hw kb replacement... emoji's are cute and all but at the end of the day useless tripe best suited to frivolities and then even rare application is best IMNHO...)

Damn! Now I'm probably going to investigate WTF happened to swype keyboards that makes them very nearly useless now as they apparently have dictionaries suited to ADHD kindergartners...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
The tool is called Gravitybox, and I used as well, but more and more ROM's and even Android are taking those features, so there is no need to root or customize anymore except when you really need specific things with a particular objective.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nigelnkj:
I heard from my local service centre that the software storage format is 16GB, so if its installed without doing a factory reset to reset the storage to default 64GB, it will stay at 16GB
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] front firing speakers:
It's a 128gb a2017 on b013. When it updated from b07 to b013 it performed a factory reset. When I received phone originally from Ali express, it was already showing around 16gb of system stuff. Currently it's 17.5gb. What's going on?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nigelnkj:
Not too sure. Might wanna contact zte.cn

I was told to do a factory reset and to not backup using google when they installed software meant for the A2017 model on my A2017G model.

[Paranoid Android Q&A] JanK411:
Hello,

I'm having big issues while trying to install paranoid on my op3.

I downloaded the newest version (6.0.3), wiped everything (even my local storage :o), installation worked without errors, but I'm not able to boot. After the oneplus logo there is only a black screen without any boot animation or something like that.

I tried installing with and without gapps (opengapps nano), after failing several times I also tried the older version of paranoid (6.0.2). Also no success.

After that I installed another OS (LineageOs) which is running fine on my phone...

Does anyone here has got an idea for me or is there someone having the same issues?

Will this work with MS Access 2003 files though?

HandBase from ddh software is my favourite. If you get the professional version ($40) it comes with a PC sync conduit and forms designer. You can then link MSaccess tables directly to tables on your device and when you activesync they sync up too.

I have installed Sound Profile to set my profile widgets, but it happens also without Sound Profile.
