If you select download latest package which size do you get?

I think you can update, even with root, it should replace your recovery and update.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] faizalotai:
Select download full packages, got same size, ok..i'll try it with root 1st
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
Good luck!

I was hoping for a full update and not an incremental one.... let's just wait and see.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
That's what I'm finding very strange.

I tought we would get a full update package, even bigger than the previous (supposedly) beta package...

But, let's wait and see...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] faizalotai:
Yeah, just upgrade and DAMN,

This is just half of it...lol

Need data_full as well..no BT, no Keyboard and etc..

What are you doing Huawei

Time to revert
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
Well that's what I was suspecting..... don't know if it was because you have root and twrp, but very strange that this update is not a full package.

Nevertheless, you can try to rollback to previous MM version and do the update afterwards, that will probable work.

Things are starting to look like OnePlus is the only "bang for the buck" phone worth buying
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] faizalotai:
I'll try check again via updater with clean stock MM..but that size...ummmm..1.39gb.

That's clearly not full packages..

Edit :: After revert to stock untouch MM, I got this..

Will try this one out.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
Looks more trustable but even so, it has the same size of the "beta" we are using.

But ok, it's not like it isn't working very well, just a little bit confusing.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] faizalotai:
I guess, yeah...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mivoe99:
I would ****in like it if they would have stopped teasing this **** and then it still takes forever until it's rolling out...

Just got OTA from Updater. FRD-L14 TMOBILE USA. Download package is B360 at 2.27 GB. Can't install yet still need the phone this morning.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
What's the Android Security Patch Level date of the update that's rolling it out for everyone? Can someone tell me?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
Good question! Someone?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Oitanigami:
Dec 16
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gus194:
Hmm on the Beta B360 version it's Dec 16. Might have to go back to B162 and install the new version.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChamferedEdges:
What about FRD L19 then? No good news on my side.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krchi:
Can anyone check if reducing to 720p option works in this B360 release?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] infernalhotdog7777:
Its been already roll out in malaysia since a week ago and mine still doesn't receive yet, huawei malaysia said they will send update via OTA batch by batch WTF!???
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hachamacha:
I think the only thing in there that is "new" (and I'm not sure of it) is the "global release" part. No one is going to come out with a new version with changes that has the exact same version number as before. How would they even track that? This just sounds like the usual Honor miscommunication. Try asking a question on their official board and you'll find it hard to believe the replies you get back from them (I mean how little relation there is between the question and reply).

I'm good with the b360 I've got and wouldn't take a chance on screwing it up by yet another phony update, but if you're on a version prior to b360, then sure ..
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sTefIx420:
Someone tryed this?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] infernalhotdog7777:
Which batch you are at... Mine is FRD-L09 B130
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
I think I'll only updat if they release a full update file.

I'm happy with it as it is and don't want to have troubles again when rooting.

I wrote that on the official thread, no it doesn't work, it does say that it is applied to only certain apps though.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] WYPIERDAALAAC:
If official stable will have the same security level as beta it will means that no real difference between them. I hope they will share real, full and official stable update of emui 5 soon. No just the same b360..
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
Beta security patch is 1 December
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] WYPIERDAALAAC:
I see. [MENTION=7960178]Oitanigami[/MENTION] said its 16.

So how it looks in your phones, guys?

1 or 16 dec level of security patch.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] takichiman:
It's 1 December 2016, 16 standed for the year lol

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
That could be the "open beta" we are using since beginning January?

I'm. Confused about the security patch. Is it 1 or 16 December?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dani.din:
1/12/16

My bad, Stupid me XD but latest are from february so anyway no update even if they reported it in latest changelog.

Releasing an update in mid-February, with a kernel built in late December and a December security patch level? Not cool honor!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fnudaniel83:
So I updated my phone to Android N through firmware finder by team MT, security patch is 1 Dec 2016. Is this the official update or a beta update?

Thank you if somebody can clarify that.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] i2000s:
I think they have the tradition to put security level to the 1st day of a month. For instance, my B162 has the Android Security Patch Level dated on Oct 1, 2016. This is obviously not the real date, because the Kernel Version is dated to Oct 26 03:33:56 CST 2016, which is after the Security Level date!

Another thing based on observation is that Different Regions may have listed the B360 on different release dates! For instance, L09 has the latest B360 dated on Feb 6th and less release in Dec, while L04 has the latest B360 dated on Jan 3rd and a lot of release in Dec. I am not sure if the latest versions are the same except for language and configuration differences, but they all have the same baseband and kernel versions based on the date points available online.

I think what is enough to distinguish different versions is the Baseband Version. For instance, on About phone, my Baseband Version for B162 is 21.255.00.00.030. Could anyone confirm this baseband version date to confirm this idea?

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] MrDraska:
Maby this post help you when you get bootlop to recovery each time after installing twrp and custom rom.

Problem is exsdcard uses on old phone:

1. Disable phone

2. Remove sdcard

3. Run phone.

4. After system is run put sdcard again and delete twrp folder in file manager.

5. Reboot phone.

End.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] eric5949:
Didn't work for me.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] MrDraska:
1.Reinstall twrp, don't boot the rom, boot first in recovery

2.format data, wipe cache, art.

3.reboot to recovery again and flash any custom roms

[Thinkpad Tablet General] Rookie1919:
I cant install the drivers automaticly because I dont have a working Yoga Tab. I just can boot into fastboot mode. I run "fastboot devices" and therre it is, but not with "adb devices". My device manager knows my tablet and tell me "Android Bootloader Interface" when I connect the tablet. If I try to update the driver it says they are allready installed.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] wpinacz:
Have You try "fastboot boot recovery.img" to boot recovery?

Do You have recovery.img?

If You have problem entering "Flashing Mode" (via "adb reboot edl"), You can try this link with patched fastboot to support rebooting to edl, I didn't test it, someone can try....

https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/guide-how-to-reboot-to-edl-fastboot-t3394292
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Rookie1919:
I connected the pad while i pressed Vol-. Then I used the exe in the new fastboot thing. Then I did this:

C:\adb>adb devices

List of devices attached

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

C:\adb>adb reboot edl

error: no devices/emulators found
[Thinkpad Tablet General] wpinacz:
So if You maneged to run new fastboot exe to boot to edl, the screen should be black on Yoga (and device is in "Flashing Mode", check device manager in Windows, You should install driver from „Qualcomm_USBDriver_2.1.0.5_x64.cab”, the device manager should install „Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COMx)” device.

Next You should do the flashing by QFIL as described in my tutorial above.

In my tutorial I was using adb to boot to edl ("Flashing Mode") because my tablet was booting, as I understand Your tablet don't boot anywhere beside fastboot, so You must enter edl ("Flashing Mode") via fastboot without using adb (adb should work only if You boot tablet)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Rookie1919:
Doestn work. I booted to recovery and tried a factory reset. Then the message "couldnt mount system" appears. Could this be the problem? And how coult I solve this?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] wpinacz:
Hmmm, I think its because of damaged system, dont know how to help (Im not Android pro), if internal storage isnt damaged then only way I know is to flash ROM via QFIL, and for that You must enter edl ("Flashing Mode") either with adb, fastboot or booting with some magic key combination.

Unless You enter edl You couldnt flash device, try in recovery mode if adb is working to boot edl.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] tapayn02:
I don't know exactly where to post I just need the plain stock image of the yt3 x50f ROW so I can put it on the tablet I somehow got a PRC CN ROM on it and now no Google apps or anything just the zip file I need to place on the SD card is all I need I've looked everywhere spent all night I'm surprised I havnt bricked it I found 1 but qfil or qdloader wouldn't put it on the tablet I just want my tablet back.....
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Rookie1919:
Dont know exactly why, but i managed it to run. Now all is fine. Thx 4 your help.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] wpinacz:
Hi, I think flashing with only update.zip can cause bricked device like I bricked mine, fast search on lenovo-forums.ru gives me a link and another link to ROM flashed via QPST/QFIL, don't know if flashing can be done exacly with tools I unbricked mine YT3-850L, for details ask them at lenovo-forums.ru (You could use translate.google.com if You don't know Russian language, just as I did)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] tapayn02:
That's how I got the Chinese version on the tablet just putting it on the SD card
[Thinkpad Tablet General] wpinacz:
The links above that I gave You isn't for flashing via SD-Card (dont flash It via Android recovery), It's mean to flash from PC via QFIL application.

When I was searching for ROM for my YT3-850L I found Chinese version too, i dont think You can find any update.zip with full ROM for Your Lenovo, there are only ROW's which are only updates from one version to another (not full android).

If You wish to try something i recommend backing up to .QNC file via QPST (it's NVRAM which stores IMEI, WIFI Mac, BT Mac, GPSID and other settings - for me it was additional sound not working).

The ROM's flashed via QFIL/QPST are full android backups, I don't think that in lenovo-forums.ru are Chinese versions.

If You go to lenovo-forums.ru there is at top on right on site button to choose language and translate so it's easy to read.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] tapayn02:
OK Thanks I'll give it a shot

hi wpinacz

i have lenovo yt3-850M tab and i install chines rom from through the sd card please give row version of qpst rom and very very thank for giveing yt3-850l row rom

i am very trbul this time if you help i feel greatful

thank you
[Thinkpad Tablet General] wpinacz:
Here's the link , be sure to READ INSTRUCTIONS before flashing, as I read it's mean to flash from PC not from SCDARD.

For all to know, I don't have any other ROM than for YT3-850L, different models (like "M" or "Y") are using different ROM than mine, the tools and drivers could be different to flash, the steps to flash device could be different too. So if anyone else got other version than "L" should be searching on other xda topics like here , or at lenovo-forums.ru
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Bhaskar1091:
Thanks for help.

Thanks WPINACZ, you took me out of that PRC rom. now i can use my tab once again. updated the chinese rom while downgrading and then was unable to load gaps or any google apps.

Your elaborate process took me out of the rom.:good::good::good::good:

Only thing to update is, i did it on the Windows 10 Pro. I did not have to install any drivers while following the procedures.

Thanks again.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] wpinacz:
I'm glad to know that my guide helped someone, I've made it because there wasn't any guide on net and so anyone could flash device fast, I've spent about 1 week to find all that I need to flash device because of work I had only few hours daily to write through translator in Russian language, hopefully I managed to meet baikal0912 who shared with me rom as I share with You, I've tested all drivers, tools and methods to bring back my Yoga to life and figured to write this guide so others can flash without problems.

Phone featuers not working

Dear WPINACZ,

only Q i have is now my tab is with 850L rom, which does not support Phone feature.But my tab earlier was 850M (with phone features). I don't need the phone but because of this few apps which i use regularly cannot be installed (basically because they need the phone permissions) Please if you could help.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] wpinacz:
Sorry but I don't know any possible way to enable phone on L rom, I was reading how enable phone on other tablets (like Samsung) and the process needs rooted device and .zip patch for device which I don't think will work on Lenovo, messing with low level settings in QPST could damage device too, so I think the easiest and cleanest way is to grab M rom from lenovo-forums.ru

You could try to install some phone .apk from other developers but it won't enable phone permissions, and of course You can't make phone calls.

Hello everybody,

Thanks for the good instructions. It helped me with my problem on a dead YT3-850F. I only just had to use a different firmware.

In order to start the edl-mode from the switched-off state, I only needed to hold down the 2 volume buttons at the same time while establishing the USB connection. It must not be pressed the power button !!!

Excuse my bad English!

Bricked Yoga

Dear all,

I've got bricked Yoga Tab 3 YT3-850L.

Device does not boot - it gets stuck on the very first "Lenovo" banner screen. I can boot to recovery mode, but resetting the device did not help. I can start fastboot too, but bootloader is locked and I can't change there anything in easy way. Adb does not recognize device at all.

I tried to install all the drivers [MENTION=7566686]wpinacz[/MENTION] posted here. But I can't get HS-USB devices to show in device manager. When I connect device in fastboot mode I see Android device->Lenovo composite ADB interface in device manager ("fastboot devices" list "0123456789ABCDEF fastboot"). When device is stuck at Lenovo logo I see Portable devices->MTP USB device. In any case there is no port for QFIL to talk to.

So far I'm stuck as my tablet. What should I try next? Thanks in advance.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] wpinacz:
Tried method in post nr 3 ? https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71161197&postcount=3

You could try enter EDL from fastboot, if You can't then You should register at lenovo-forums.ru and use translator to speak with someone ( baikal0912 ?)

I'm leaving tomorrow with my family for entire week to hungary so until I'm back can' help more.

Regards,

wpinacz
[Thinkpad Tablet General] kindzmarauli:
Yes, I've tried patched fastboot to enter EDL, but device just reboots. BTW I checked that ADB sideloading seems to work. Is it possible to sideload entire ROM? Probably stupid question, It's a first time I'm trying to fix android tablet myself :)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] wpinacz:
I saw somewhere that YT3-850M (M model) You could power off device, hold VOL+ and VOL-, then connect USB to enter EDL, try that maybe.....

Also after patched edl it should reboot and then You should see in device manager QDLaoader

Eventually there's method using EDL USB cable, heres link how to do it yourself with switch to make EDL on/off:

http://forum.gsmdevelopers.com/hard...mm-edl-cable-9008-com-9008-xiaomi-lg-etc.html

As far as I read You could shortcut two pins in microUSB cable, (5GND with 3D+), on the image where says USB MINI should be nr 3 and 4 (middle and most right)

If You are aware of shortcutting wrong pins, then print the scheme and go to Your local electronic technician so He could make the cable for You.

Give feedback if some method works.

Regards.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] kindzmarauli:
Thank you for suggestions, I've tried them all, but nothing works. Device just does not show up in Device manager as something recognizable. Others suggested it's a hardware problem (maybe, it was fixed once under warranty) so it's not worth trying to flash it.

Maybe I'll search Russian Lenovo forum (I do read Russian) for information.

Have an nice trip!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] johnsamshri:
Thanks WPINACZ, your write-up is a gem, it covers all bases, and is really thorough. I have not seen a guide as complete as this. If I had seen this earlier, it would have saved days of my time, spent rectifying a persistent OTA Update after Root, which would neither install nor give up. I had to un-root, go back to Stock, try the Update and it failed. Reason was that though I had taken a complete Backup, I did that after Flashing TWRP into Recovery, and that had already over-written the Stock Recovery. And seemed there was no way I could get the identical Stock Recovery Image anywhere online. OTA Update kept failing. I couldn't find a proper YT3-850M ROM, and settled for a YT3-X50M ROM from Android MTK, and had a lot of trouble getting it flashed. I happened to come across your site, because I couldn't register on any Network, and a constant Nag Message would come, "Managed Roaming, Network with Limited Service'. I totally couldn't make sense of it, and had to keep searching online, and trying out stuff. Finally I found that the IMEI Number was '0' in NV RAM. Now I am going to use your tips to flash the Original IMEI back... Thanks so much.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Ashkmn:
I read the whole conversation...

I have problem with my lenovo yt3 850m is it i have mabaged to successfully flashed the stock firmware as you mentioned bt while the first boot it sometimes went upto lenovo gif that shows while usual boot or sometimes upto google setup and then it gets switch off automatically with a kind of some battery low sound and mild vibration... First i thought the battery is discharged bt.... It have charge.... even i tried with an hour of charging.... And again then i am stuck with boot loop if i restart it..... Then i have to format it in recovery and again it can boot upto lenovo gif..... But not into the system...

[Moto Z Questions & Answers] MAX_G:
Hi guys any idea whether it's possible to replace the motherboard in a moto Z force with the motherboard from a moto Z that way it may be possible to obtain the advantages of the shatterproof screen, improved battery and even the camera on a platform with unlocked international firmware. Possibly the smart black gold varient and no Verizon bloat or restrictions.

The PDAF may be an issue as may be the capacity charge controller but if the monos are the same with the peripherals the only variences a unique Frankenstein build may be possible.

This is my first post here. I have y220-u00. I've moved the launcher to sd card and now I have a boot logo loop. Can I do something with ADB or any other tool just to recover it. I can't go to recovery mod, it doesn't work at all. it was so before as well.

Please any help.......

@sawdoctor

Ist very kindly on you part to bother with my problem. Thank you!

As I said I can't access the recovery mod. I used to access it before but no longer now. The power and volume buttons make nothing. I can access by them only the factory phone test menu. This recovery issue is not a result of the boot loop issue I have now. In the past I tried to flash other ROMs. I was able to access recovery mod. But in some point it stopped. I suppose the bootloader is been changed not by my will though. This is the reason I tried SP flash tool but I followed diferent tuts and I installed different drivers. Now I have error message and the PC can't recognize the phone.... I think I should
