[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apad121:
Hi there

I am still on build NXT - L29C636B193 with June secuirity patch.

I have the dual SIM L29 4gb gold variant. I am in the UK.

Still waiting for Nougat. From reading around it seems that almost everyone has already recieved the official OTA...

I have also seen people manually flashing the OTA but I am worried I may lose my warranty and make certain apps like Android Pay unavailable.

All advice is appreciated

Thanks:laugh:
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danterape:
If you want to have warranty, stay at stock.

There is a major difference between nougat and mm (in look and performance for me). I dont need my warranty because - 1) ive bought it in china , 2) what does warranty cover? if i crash screen - warranty is worthless, if i crash software - i can fix it by myself :) - so its useless...

I ve swaped soft for european L29C432B320 from DL-00 and i dont care about OTA or some****.

Just flashed, rooted and using as always. For me root is necessary, so warratny is useless anyway.

The only thing is that if something bricks your phone like e.g. melting in pocket (vide SGS Note7 :D) there is nothing you can do...

So - for me - just manually flashed nougat and root it and its ok.

i have a C636 and converted to C432 and i am on B560 works fine

So can I do this without losing warranty or rooting?

Because I want things like Android Pay to still be intact.

Are you in Europe as well?

Because I want to know if my imported Huawei Mate 8 will receive an official OTA from Huawei...

Thanks
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letschky:
I receive the Ota only to the converted C432.

On original C636 no Ota Updates
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apad121:
Can I load the latest update onto the device so that the system update menu will recognise the update?

Maybe use dload or somrthing?

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnie72:
Yes, Europe. In HiCare i checked Europe/Germany and recive OTA update.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apad121:
Hi there

When I contacted the European chat helper in the Hi care app, they said that my model the NXT - L29 will not get OTA updates while i am not in Southeast Asia?

I don't know if this true as it sounds bizarre, most devices are still updated when not in their home land.

What model number is yours?

Thanks
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwanner:
checksum error

Hi there,

the update appears and it starts to download, but most of the time, I get a checksum error. Only 2 times (out of perhaps 8 downloads) it downloaded properly, so far. The device restarted and got stuck at the "Your device got unlocked and can't be trusted." and "The device is now booting" prompt. I let it rest for more than 3 hours, but nothing happened.

So: none of the categories in the poll apply to me: I seem to get the update, but cannot install it.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apad121:
Are you also on the L29?

Which country are you in?

Did you root or unlock the bootloader?
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwanner:
I finally figured what was wrong: I had a bad (as in not accepted by the system) update in the dload folder of the sdcard. Thus even after flashing TWRP via adb or the stock firmware upgrade, that was tried and denied, first.

Once I removed that folder, I could successfully install TWRP and the latest CM/Lineage build (alpha-4).

To actually answer your questions: Yes, CH, and yes, bootloader unlocked.

Hi there

On the firmware downloader app, a new update has been launched but it is B330? Emui 4.1?

Take a look below
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyDroidMy:
I had manually uppdated to B521 and tried to update to B563 trough the Firmware Finder without success.

Then I downgraded to B193, tried update to B563 and failed.

Updated to B211 then and did factory reset. After restart I got new firmware showing in system update in settings.

So I´m guessing it´s official OTA update as I didn´t update through Firmware Finder.

I was on L29C185B180, and the 321 update (4.1) just hit my phone on Thursday.

Think they'll be able to port the Google Android system to all WM capable phones?

Do you think anyone will make one for the wizard?:D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Myrddin Wyllt:
I'm sure you'll see some home-cooked ROMs, once Android is released, but you probably won't ever see an official release for a phone as out-of-date as the poor Wizard.

They aren't even getting official WM6 out to Wizards, so why would HTC bother with an OS that probably won't even be released in 2008?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Kingaries79:
When using the flash in auto mode I always get this yellow tint which is very annoying. When I switch to pro mode I can change the white balance to florescent and it removes that yellow tint and make the picture look more natural when using the flash. Is there away to correct when using auto mode? I only ask this because when I'm on pro made its way to much stuff on the screen. Look at the 2 examples below.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] bujor.paul:
Hello, I'm trying to update to Nougat (C432B336). The beta is not available in my country (Romania) and I used Firmware Finder to get the update, but it gave me an error saying it is not compatible with my device (VNS-L21). I looked around and found something and now I'm confused:

Can anyone explain to me what's going on? Thanks!

Hello!

Is it possible to install Lineage OS 14 on Xperia Mini pro?

If not, what is the latest Lineage OS version that is possible to install on Xperia Mini Pro?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iXaidyiu:
CM12.1 (based on Android 5.1.1) should be the latest CM (or LOS) that Xperia Mini Pro support.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Henrik Jansson:
Ok, thanks!

Do you know where to download it, and if there is some step by step instruction somewhere on the internet how to install it.

https://basketbuild.com/devs/AdrianDC/LegacyXperia/mango/LineageOS-14.x

How to install LineageOS 14.1 Rom (Android 7.1.2)

1. External memory card is required to install the rom (Ext4 only 1 partition). At least around 4gb, must be very fast (Class 10 u3), and should be at around 8gb if possible. All apps, data, etc will go here.

2. Flash boot.img (In fastboot mode).

3. Go wipe, swipe. Go advanced wipe and wipe system.

4. Go advanced --> sideload. Connect USB and type 'adb sideload rom-14.1-xxx.zip' & after type 'adb sideload opengapps-7.1-xxx.zip'

5. Reboot to system. Ignore any warning message.

Thanks for the mango link, but where is the boot. Img file ?

Did you take a look inside lineage-14.1-20170514-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-mango.zip ? ;)

Because I didn't test it yet: Are there any issues with this build (camera working)?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] saljut7:
Just tried lineage-14.1-20170514-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-mango.zip and the installation overall was like described by Tromponauta.

The problem is that the touch screen is not responding within LOS. Everything else works (keyboard, camera etc.), just the touch screen seems to have problems. It works just fine inside TWRP and booting LOS for the first time it was responding for the first moment and then stopped (no response, like a frozen OS but the hardware keys still work). I've rebooted back inside TWRP to confirm the touch screen is working and it is.

Any ideas?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] saljut7:
There was a problem with my display cable. Changed the display and it works just fine now.

Just energy consumption seems to be very high. I bought a new battery which is listed as 100% for around 3hours and then drops down to 0% immediately.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] saljut7:
This problem is caused whenever a SIM card is inserted. Without SIM card the battery lasts a day as expected.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] EvilMonkey88:
Its probably your phone hardware problem. I'm running CM14.1 on two mango phones.. without gapps and everything works .. well.. one of them have occasional freeze problems I'm struggling to diagnose, so removing battery is required from time to time to reboot it.

Anyway sim card works fine on both phones with normal battery use.

ROM is quite fast (maybe faster then CM11) but I'm using A1 sd card and no gapps ..

btw I also had some freezing problems on this phone when on other ROMs so maybe its hardware..

Its certainly worth giving CM14.1 try (as per other post earlier on)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] saljut7:
I've experienced this as well but I doubt this has something to do with the hardware (except the fact that the hardware is maybe just too outdated to handle a current LOS and current apps).

Is there really no effect on battery drain if the ROM was not optimized for certain country GSM settings?

Yes, the sk17i is still a great peace of hardware for me used as "walkman" and for instant messaging. I'm very thankful that the sk17i is still suppoprted, thanks to all devs involved!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] EvilMonkey88:
On main mango I get between 12-18 hours depending on use.. (its mostly light though.. messengers, emails, phone calls, etc not much browsing) so battery drain is same ish as other ROMs I tried..

2nd mango with CM14.1 works as alarm clock and sometimes squeezebox controller. mostly on airplane mode which gives over week battery life.. (no sim on that one)

3rd mango is on stock gingerbread converted into dashcam :p .. I get about 6-7 hours battery with HD recording on Daily Voyager (had to use tasker to turn off screen during recording though)

Got two more of those little buggers but sadly as spares now.. (broken screens)

Everyone tells me I'm mad to still use mini pro.. but I really like small phone with great keyboard.. (by today standards I should say tiny phone lol)

Once a while I consider buying new phone but haven't actually done it yet lol

Yes! +1 Thank you devs for all your work on xperia phones!.. Cheers

p.s I'm still hopeful for Android Go one day :P
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] saljut7:
Awesome... well I sitll doubt that my battery drain has something to do with the hardware. As far as I remember the battery life was already not very good when I was using the original Android for 2-3 years. My current battery is now at least 5 years old so I think the current battery capacity is quite okay. Before I had a Motorola xt894 with a Cyanogen Mod experimental/snapshot and the battery life was horrible in comparison to the standard Rom so I think it has something to do with a not optimized LOS.

btw: Did you experience any Wifi issues connecting to public Hotspots? Sometimes I have the problem that I can not connect to public hotspots that worked yesterday. The Wifi list says "saved" to the specific Hotspot after I tried to connect (insteadt of "connected").
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] EvilMonkey88:
hmm maybe you could try battery calibration? or "new" battery.. those are very cheap. seriously no excessive drain here on LOS.. managed 19hours and 10% left today..

no experience of public wifi problems.. but I don't really use them tbh

My main problem with LOS is random freeze when display wont wake up (even when notification is working and background menu lights).. sometimes phone is OK for few days but other times it can freeze few times a day. I keep changing settings in kernel auditor but cannot find out cause yet.. for a while I had suspicion freezes are more likely when using build in browser.. but maybe it was just coincidence
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] saljut7:
My sk17i lists errors like

System UI has stopped

com.android.phone has stopped

Settings has stopped

and is always rebooting / in a boot loop. I wanted to reinstall LOS but somehow my whole system seems to be read only. I've already tried https://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/help/accidently-selected-read-twrp-how-undo-t3312533 but everytime I access TWRP after a reboot "Mount" -> "Mount system partition read only" is checked. I tried to reinstall TWRP with

fastboot flash boot boot.img

but this doesn't affect the checked "Mount system partition read only" setting so I think TWRP is not reinstalled. Any idea how to fix this? In the end I just want to start over with a new installed LOS.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] EvilMonkey88:
Hmm not sure what to suggest as haven't experienced this. In my case everything went smooth on 3 different phones (sk17i) when following instructions from other post:

maybe sd card is corrupted, have you tried different one..?

Try wipe plus format everything and try again?

So does sideload completes fine and then you got error and bootloop?

Out of interest what ROM have you had before?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wheelsofsteel:
I just totalled my S4 Mini (i9195). The phone is alive but the LCD is totally smashed.

Been running CyanogenMod 11 for a couple of years. Once the ROM got stable I've been really happy with the hardware and software.

My question is what to do now.

Fix the phone and just carry on with CyanogenMod 11

Fix the phone and upgrade the ROM -- what's everyone using for day-to-day use; is it LineageOS? I like CyanogenMod 11 because it's not tied to Google, PrivacyGuard and LED notifications, otherwise fairly minimal. I don't want really want to go back to the unstability I remember of the early CyanogenMod 11 milestones.

Upgrade the phone to a new one. I'm not sure one is suitable; my main criteria are small size and switchable battery, custom ROM.

I'm fairly technical but new to posting on XDA. Hoping you can help me past some of the jargon and codenames. What are people using their S4 Mini day to day (not experimenting) doing?

Thanks -- Mark
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronRoo:
If you are going to keep your phone it sounds like CM13 would be best for you as it is very stable and you will get much newer security patches (though it looks like Arco will not be updating it any further for now). It has Privacy Guard and you can flash a smaller Open GApps package to keep Google to a minimum .....

LinageOS is already very stable but there are a few small bugs (maybe a big one with the dialer as some people have reported in last few days having no audio on calls) as you would expect on a "TEST" ROM, but some are using for daily driver with no real problems. Maybe give it a look once it's gone "official".

It's almost impossible to get a new phone with good spec and small size now :( especially one that has such a great custom ROM's available.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wheelsofsteel:
I just came across the S5 Mini.. Seems like it might be the last phone that fulfill my hardware requirements and it won't cost me much more to upgrade than to repair my current phone. Did all the S4 Mini crowd move to the S5 Mini or is there good reason to stick with the old? For example, worse support for the hardware.

Thanks for the ROM tips, I will definitely try version 13 once I have a working phone just to see. If I really don't like it I can always consider going back to 11.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronRoo:
Yes, S5 Mini will probably be a good choice, though not as much development by the looks of it, but we S4 Mini owners have been spoilt. Don't think that many people upgraded to it, but I don't really know.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wheelsofsteel:
Yup I think I have, and until now took it for granted that most of the phones were reverse engineered to the same level.

I made a decision and ordered the parts to repair my S4 Mini, that will be my day-to-day phone. When I get it I might spin up CM13 for a test. As for a 'new' phone that will have to wait. Thanks for the advice.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andi46:
Take the Lineage OS 14.1 build from arco68. and TWRP 3.03 from neozone75 Much more performance,longer battery life,and my s4 mini boots packed with a lot apps in under 1min. ;) when flashed, don't miss to set the preferrred network type in Mobile radio networks- if you have no LTE contract set it to 3G . good luck for repair ;)
[YotaPhone] Luke25361:
I'm currently on Android 5.0, HK firmware.

Is it possible to flash to the 5.0 RU firmware and keep my current data and settings?

Sorry if this has already been answered, I've looked in other posts but couldn't find this answer anywhere.
[YotaPhone] cvzalez:
Your current data and settings are saved in the user partition, when flash with YotaFlasher it asks you if you want to format the user partition, if you say "No" it won't delete your data, BUT remember that changing firmwares can have different code and settings characteristics, and can be unstable because of using old settings, that problem is mostly likely with different versions of the Android OS for example from KitKat to Lollipop, but not as much if you change for example from EU Lollipop to Russian Lollipop, still it can happen. Never the less is always important to backup important data.
[YotaPhone] luks333:
have you tried flashing via OTA? When I have got my YD201 it had a HK firmware and when I launched OTA update it updated to the latest RU firmware. No problems at all.
[YotaPhone] Luke25361:
Thank you

I decided to just backup my important data before hand and said Yes when prompted about formatting the user partition.

The flashing was successful!

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] kingoftheafro:
OK let's rephrase because apparently you don't realize I wouldn't be writing this if I had done that and it worked. Also "sure" to my no. 1 doesn't make me feel better. I need a definite answer as in someone has done it. Also, again, I went through multiple threads, asked questions, and none got answers. I was completely ignored. So unless you can make a nice clean list for me, don't tell me something I've obviously done already. Thank you.

Take the time to make a proper post, explaining what you have done and what is going wrong and you will get a better answer.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] kingoftheafro:
I haven't done anything with the phone yet. Haven't been able to. Every post I've read gives a link to another post for something else that needs to be done before you can do what the previous post stated you can do. It's utterly confusing. What I'm asking for is a list from start to finish of what needs to be done without being linked all over the place. My head is all over the place right now because not a single OP says this is the absolute first step before you can do anything with the phone. I thought I had it all down and then out of nowhere I find out before you can install LOS you need the universal bootloader flashed. Now I'm back to square 1 trying to figure out what steps go where. Honestly my first post was pretty proper in my request, but for some reason people assume that I haven't read anything. I stated clearly what device I'm on and that I hadn't done any steps yet. I don't know how much more specific I can be.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] lafester:
So again, which guide are you wanting to use and what is your question?

LOS has nothing to do with getting your phone unlocked and twrp installed, try to stay focused.
