[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
I wanted to post this to clarify things a bit over here. This forum is the biggest mess i've ever seen...

Okay, so people are saying that the blue led actually pops up somewhere on the system, but people have asked over at ZTE forums (which, to be honest, have less of a clue than us). So I tried to find a clear image of the mainboard and so far the best shot I could come up with is this one:

[IMG="See the LED on the upper left corner? I'm seeing 2 dots on the LED, and it has 4 contacts. Usually they use a common ground for RGB leds and they end up having 4 contacts too... weird"]www.laptopmain.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/ZTE-Axon-7-Teardown-37.jpg[/IMG]

So that's my take on the RG led thing... If anyone feels like googling for a nicer picture then :good:

I thought the official nougat was released last month? I went to check for updates and it said none available. Still on 6.0
[Mate 8 General] Deleted member 6802227:
First of all check your Model & buldnr.

and second of all Trust me you dont want Nougat so many ppl want to rollback and arent able to. nougat is buggy as ****
[Mate 8 General] brian85:
I checked my model and build number. What do I do after that?
[Mate 8 General] Deleted member 6802227:
tell me the buildnr.

L.09CXXXBXX ?
[Mate 8 General] brian85:
L09c636b191
[Mate 8 General] jee82:
Number one, It's easy to roll back (had to do it it because I flashed a test-keys build), number two, what's buggy about nougat? I've installed it on my L09C432 and have had no issues with it so far, if anything marshmallow was much buggier.
[Mate 8 General] Deleted member 6802227:
i have testkey build also, how did u get back? maybe u can help me on this!
[Mate 8 General] kaceps:
@OP

You could get the answer just by reading this forum. Everything is there.

But I get that it's a bit confusing, and it takes time to sort all the infos. So here's the main ideas.

Final release of nougat (Or EMUI 5.0) is expected this summer. This release will be pushed automatically on every mate 8. But not until a few more months.

Until then, there are betas. Those betas are pretty stable, but they are still only betas, test versions. There will be changes until final release, they do not work perfectly on every mate 8 out there, and more importantly they are not automatically pushed to every phone.

There are many variant of the mate 8. Your build number means that your have a model L09C636. And your software is on build 191. The build 191 is a stable and final release of EMUI 4.0, huawei's version of android 6.0.

Huawei regularly release new builds, but not for every variant. Build after 500 are EMUI 5.0, wich is android nougat. But also, every build after 500 is NOT final. Even if it's official (made by huawei) and stable, it's not definitive. And that's why huawei does not release every build for every model. At some point they will reach a release stable enough and release it for every variant, bu not for now.

So, can you get nougat ? Well, yes, but I wouldn't advise it.

There are many ways of installing one of the newer builds. If you really want to, there's even ways of changing your phone variant, since the difference between most variant is only software. But it's not really safe, or easy. For some, with the right model, it might not be that hard. But for others, the installation of the beta fails. The phone ends up not recognised as any model anymore, and is partially or totally unusable.

It's really not a good idea to start messing with your phone system if you do not know what a custom recovery, fastboot, or adb is. And if you are familiar with those, then you should know that there is always a chance that you will end up having to spend hours trying to understand incomplete guides to resurect your phone after something did not work as another guide said it would. Plus, nougat and emui 5.0 are not that different. The update does not radically change anything, it's really not worth taking any chance just to get it a few month early.

[MENTION=6802227]EGOiST1991[/MENTION]

I'm on C432, had teskey for a while.

I think what I did was

Fastboot -> flash TWRP 3.0.3..0

format data, then erase everything. don't reboot (since you just erased TWRP as well, you won't have it anymore after next reboot.)

Install kangvip ROM (don't ask me why, it's the only one I could get to boot. And it gave me build number C432B560, even though the rom in itself was buggy as hell.)

Then I used Dload method to flash the official C432B560

The phone would not boot, but I still gave it 10 or 15 minutes.

I booted to recovery again, did a factory reset. And now it works.
[Mate 8 General] jee82:
I used the files from this tutorial https://xdaforums.com/mate-8/general/how-to-downgrade-beta-b521-to-b170-t3546264 but there are rollback files for almost all models i think. Tutorial would be the same on all models though, all you really need is the rollback file and a full rom of the previous version you'd like to downgrade to. PS! I rolled back from b560 test-keys, not b521 and it worked flawlessly.

---------- Post added at 12:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 AM ----------

Final release of nougat is out for alot of models, china's had it for months, NXT-L29C432 and L09C432 has started getting it via OTA for some time now, and im sure other models also already got the final version, so saying every release before summer is beta is wrong.
[Mate 8 General] p51d007:
I'd wait...after watching the threads, it's still got a couple bugs...bluetooth and what not.

But, if you really want to, check this thread>> https://xdaforums.com/mate-8/general/update-to-nougat-easiest-playstore-app-t3554957

Lot's of people have been successful using it. I can download it, but it's not the "full" update for my version of the Mate8, so it won't

update. Since, if you believe Huawei, the "official" version is due out sometime between now and the end of March...I can wait.

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------

Most rational answer I've heard in a while... ;)
[Mate 8 General] kaceps:
You might be right. It seems b560 is considered final version ( At least for the c432) and is being pushed to non-beta users. I though it was still beta.

All the more reason for OP to NOT try to force the update manually ! Just wait, it's comming in the next few months.
[Mate 8 General] Apad121:
I am in the UK with NXT - L29C636B193

Dual SIM 4gb

I am still on June secuirity patch.

Are there any later style releases for my device?

I thought that stable official nougat was already released and I thought Huawei just didn't push an OTA to models not in China.

Also can I update to nougat stable versions using firmware finder? In screenshot below. Without losing warranty or using root as I want to keep Android Pay intact.

Thanks

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] rosko1702:
HI.

On my rooted 3t i had:

- TWRP 3.0.4-1

- firmware 4.0.3

- ROM RR-N-v5.8.1-20170211

Everything was working great.

I was going through my email when screen went black...

I was not able to turn it on since.

I tried boot to recovery - after few seconds on TWRP flash screen it's not going nowhere... Screen is black and only notification light is white.

Same result when when just starting it.. I see Oneplus logo (powered by Android) and that is it.

Tried to boot into recovery through fastboot with the same result.

Anyone has an idea?

Thank you.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] MaxFTW:
From what you're saying I see that at least the device interacts somehow. Therefore I would suggest trying this --> https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/unbrick-unbrick-tutorial-oneplus-3t-t3515306

Seems like something went wrong with your internal hardware components. However, try to boot the phone into fastboot mode and try to flash new ROM zip from there with your laptop/pc.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] rosko1702:
Thank you for responding...

My feeling is the same... Something wrong with hardware.

I did re flash TWRP. TWRP is not loading...

I did try to load TWRP through fastload - same result.

I can (and I think I will) try to flash new ROM but I do not think this would help when even TWRP is not working.

Anyone knows what is warranty situation in my case?

Thank you.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] timobayl:
I had the same issue.

Use the unbrick tool. This will help you.

Your problem has nothing to do with hardware.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] rosko1702:
Just wondering..

In case of sucessfull unbrick... Does phone would need to be rooted again?

I mean the result is like phone is in original/new state...?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] timobayl:
Yes, the phone is like new from the box.

Oos 3.5.4
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] rosko1702:
The other question is where to go from here... after it is alive again..

What caused that?

Should I go back to

- TWRP 3.0.4-1

- firmware 4.0.3

- latest ROM RR-N-v5.8.1

Thanks
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] timobayl:
Yes.

For me it works that way.

Maybe its a saver way ota oos Update to 4.0.3.

Than twrp...
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] rosko1702:
TWRP 3.0.4-1 is not restoring internal storage

It is alive...

I ran unbrick tool... and it worked.

One issue.. TWRP 3.0.4-1 is not restoring DATA completely.

It is showing "Data (excl. storage)" instead of "Data" and not not restoring internal storage (pictures, messages, files).

Anyone knows what to do?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] timobayl:
It is the same as before. Nandroid never Backuped the internal storage.

What do you think how big is a Nandroid with internal storage?
[Android General] XxTyranTxX:
Okay, as the title said, I need advice on a program or software that will help me unlock two different phones.

They're both Sprint phones and They're not easy to unlock, I'm normally pretty good with these kinds of things but Sprints CDMA garbage is preventing me from prevailing.

The first phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 running 6.0.1 (Marshmallow)

The second Phone is an LG G3 running 5.0.2 (Lollipop)

as i said they're Sprint phones but i need to unlock them so that I can switch over to T-Mobile

I'm not paying to get them unlocked because if i was going to i'd be better buying a new phone instead.

Any advice on how to do this or where to go that won't cost anything?

[Mate 8 General] brian85:
I can't connect to or load anything, even though the status bar says I'm on 4g. Any ideas?
[Mate 8 General] p51d007:
You may have to call your provider, the IMEI number that the phone has, may not be in their directory.

I'm on Straight talk, using an "at&t" sim card and it works fine.

Maybe the at&t store might have a number that will work.
[Mate 8 General] James_Watson:
So strange? Any screenshots?
[Mate 8 General] Samavb:
AT & T - 4G - Mate 8

a) Please check the APN settings - screenshots attached - it should be exactly as shown in the picture.

b) Go to settings - mobile data - networked apps - see if the app you are trying to use is checked in that list.

if both these options fail, check with ATT if they have same IMEI as the one you are using. If all these options are exactly like it should be, then you can try getting your sim card replaced and see if that makes difference.

I am using ATT too & experiencing battery drain when the phone is idle especially in doze. This started from this January ever since 2g services were shutdown. Are you experiencing the same? Any one else have this problem? phone idle drain is like 2% per hour overnight. I tried wipe cache and factory reset but the problem persists.
[Mate 8 General] brian85:
I found the issue. In the phone settings, I had to click on "more" under the network park and check "use mobile data". For some reason that was not turned on.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jormakka:
Hi

I recently tried to fix my wifes Galaxy S5 SM-G900F (Nordic), but nothing seems to work.

Problems started after she made an update to 6.0.1. The phone started to reboot randomly.

Later it went into a reboot loop and would not start. I had trouble getting to the factory reset menu, but once it worked and I made a factory reset / wipe.

Same problem, the phone stayed in the recovery boot loop.

I brought it to Samsung service, and they said that they could not install any rom on it.. So I tried myself.

I flashed the factory rom (6.0.1) with odin3 SUCCESFULLY, but nothing would change.. Still same recovery boot loop.

I did the same again with an older version (5.0).. Same problem.

I cant even reach the factory reset menu any more.

Is there something left to try?

-George-
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannymachado:
I do not know if I understood correctly.

When you install the original ROM it got stuck at the boot of Samsung, right?

Have you been in recovery mode yet? If you can not try installing Twrp, that's what got me wrong, I had a similar case. Install with Odin.

And put a ROM for example: LineageOS.

Next I flashed the pit file and it would start to samsung galaxy s5 logo (without the recovery boot.... text on top) and do a restart loop.

I even did the recovery with kies, and it went through, but still I only get to recovery boot loop.

As a last resort i did also a NAND flash with odin. Still recovery boot loop

Mate. When the Samsung service was not able to flash a ROM, you will not either. Had the same like you. After just 2 months of having this phone it started bootlooping. Tried everything. also the pit files. Flashing was no problem but the issue persisted. FLashed the stock ROM and brought it to the shop. They send it to samsung service and after a week I got a new device as the flash memory on the one that was bootlooping got defective somehow.

So well it´s not bricked as it still trying to boot but with a defective flash storage the results are almost the same as the needed data is corrupt due to defective memory cells.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeChuck5000:
I'm something of a noob here, so I appreciate your patience and help.

My wife's Nexus 5x applied the latest update for 7.1.1 and her phone then fell victim to the dreaded bootloop. I was able to get through this guide to apply a rescue OTA: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz6x7k-VkpUJam5Mc1hKa09PVGc/view (sorry, I can't post the hyperlink to an external site since I'm so new here, lol).

All of the steps completed down to step 21, when I tried reboot after the update - it rebooted then went right back into the boot loop.

The OTA I used was for Bullhead N4F26O (which is the one I should use based on the guide). I also tried N4F26I, but the OTA failed and it went straight to the bootloop.

I ran out the battery, charged it a bit, and tried again, but ran into the same problem (update completes, reboot, bootloop starts again).

Does anyone else have any more ideas on what I can try? At this point all I really care to do is recover any photos I can from the device (my wife forgot to setup image backup on her phone and USB debugging was never turned on). Google Fi already offered to send out a replacement, so I'm not worried about getting the device fully functional again.

Thanks for your help.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeChuck5000:
Not sure exactly what happened, but the phone was plugged into my PC stuck in the bootloop. I unplugged the phone and it booted...it didn't have much of a charge, so I quickly turned on developer mode, USB debugging, and some other option I noticed about allowing unlocking of the OEM bootloader. Also, I checked the backup settings for her photos and they were set to backup automatically, but just on a secondary Google account.

If anyone has any ideas for resurrecting the phone, I'd appreciate it (for the sake of learning if nothing else). Thanks
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tulsadiver:
Exactly how did you apply the update? Over the phone or fastboot? Can you get to fastboot mode (bootloader)? Unlocking the bootloader will erase everything.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeChuck5000:
I can get it into fastboot, and can sometimes get it into recovery (but not consistently...it often just goes into the bootloop when I try to launch recovery).

To apply the update I just followed the guide I linked to in my OP. First, installed the adb, fastboot, & usb drivers on my computer. I then put the phone into recovery, and wiped the partition cache. I then connected the phone to my PC, picked Apply update from ADB on the phone, and ran adb sideload c:\MyNexus\bullhead-ota-n4f26i-06953aec.zip from the command line on my PC.
