Hi, [MENTION=8132939]yzar78[/MENTION] Exactly which Araymod did you flash? I have the same phone and service as you (Sprint Note 3) and I flashed the Phronesis v5.1 Note 7/S7 Edge rom and suffered the same problem. No network signal. Wifi worked great. Internet, bluetooth and all, just couldn't call or text. I'm a newbie, so any and all information is appreaciated.

Thanks again!:D

Thanks for the useful information. I've suffered the same problem after flashing the Phronesis v5.1 Note 7/ S7 Edge rom. Going to check the suggested forums now.

Thanks again!:D

I'm Having the same issue.

does anyone know the service mode dialer codes?

The phone is currently set to gsm, but I'm hoping like in older roms we can switch it to lte/cdma

I flashed TWRP and unlocked bootloader, I am on mha-l29c636b158. How can I return to completely stock? I want to receive updates via ota because I read that there is a new update to fix the touch screen not being responsive. Or is there a flashable stock zip update I can flash?

I spent that past two days rooting and flashing the one rom I could. Had to ignore some Chinese. I am USA 567B167. Got into trouble a number of times. This phone is funky compared to all the rooting I have done. I booted into erocovery, downloaded stock 2GB, wiped and was back to current stock without issue. It bootlooped if I didn't hard reset and wipe cache.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Jaimesco12:
Will I be able to receive otas?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Jaimesco12:
So you just booted to erecovery and from there it automatically downloaded the stock firmware?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] newyesor:
You can return stock by use dload update.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] rndchef:
yes. I did it twice. that is how many times I got into trouble and was the only solution. It worked great as it gives you the ability to log into wifi with a keyboard present to put in the password, then downloads the stock current rom and flashes it. You have to format data and wipe cache yourself.

Miss Wugfresh root tool. Get you out of any trouble.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Jaimesco12:
It says getting package info failed in erecovery
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Jaimesco12:
any ideas?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
Erecovery only work for Chinese firmware.

Use the guide above and yes you can receive ota.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] rndchef:
I also received the same message. Getting into recovery was inconsistent for me even with TWRP. Sometimes it would do the auto downloaded and fail thing and other times it would go into TWRP. You need to get where you have three choices and pick erocovery and push the start button. This brings up the restore ability. Worked perfect on the USA model.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
Do you say that you recovered your phone from erecovery? For usa model?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] rndchef:
Yes. Twice. Once to get off of HRT rom that was wonky and another to remove root because I lost Google apps. All accidents and was grateful to discover erecovery put me back on the current B167 version stock.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
Are you sure ur not using a paid service?

That's a good news, that was only possible for Chinese firmware,hope they extend it to all regions.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] rndchef:
Completely positive. It happened by accident because I got in a bad place with HRT rom. Came out completely stock and current when no upgrade need. Then I rooted stock and somehow lost gapps including keyboard. Did it again and back to stock. All in erecovery. No other programs or files. It did a 2.5GB download, flashed in Emui and rebooted like when I bought it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] itenos:
Sorry for the no noob question: I just got my mate 9 and unlocked bootloader and rooted it. Recovery is TWRP 3.0.2-2.

Where do i find this erecovery? Couldn't see any download option in TWRP and even Google didn't know that term. Could anybody please explain step by step how to revert to stock (for the only sake of getting OTAs) once the phone has unlocked bootloader and is rooted using the method from xda with modified boot.img?

Or is it even possible to take OTAs while being rooted with system read only? On my previous phone, the Asus Zenfone 2 this was possible.

Thanks a lot
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
Connect ur phone to usb,and boot ur phone while holding volume up.

Please report back if erecovery recovered ur phone.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] itenos:
Thanks for the quick answer. Let me clearify what I understood : this erecovery is available only on the PC?

So basically I wait in rooted state until I receive the next OTA, don't take it but switch off the phone.

Then connect it to the PC and boot it up by holding the volume up + power key.

Then what happens exactly?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
Booting the phone while plugged and with volume up will take you to erecovery on ur phone.

There you connect to wifi and the firmware get downloaded into ur phone
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] itenos:
Ah ok, this erecovery is still available on my phone even if I already flashed a custom recovery, right?

Then after downloading the firmware, erecovery will flash it and overwrite root and lock my bootloader again, correct?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
True.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] rndchef:
Turn off phone. Hold volume up button, then hold power button until it vibrates and let go, keep holding volume up until the either the erecovery starts or you are given the option to choose it. This bypasses TWRP if installed. However, some times it would go right into flash mode and fail. Do the steps again and it should give you the option to restore to stock. No computer needed. It will ask for wifi connection and provide a keyboard to enter password. As much as I struggle to like this phone, that is the easiest restore to stock I have ever seen.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] itenos:
Thanks, that sounds really easy.

Does that also eliminate this ugly full screen warning that you can't trust this phone because the bootloader has been unlocked?

I never had a problem bringing a rooted phone to service because usually they don't really kook into it if your problem is something hardware related but with this huge warning every service technician would immediately void the warranty I suppose
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
Instead of asking lot of questions why don't you try and let us know :p
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] itenos:
Hmm, this answer kind of surprises me. So let me explain why I will not try that out and let you know just for the sake of it:

As the OP, I am solely interested on how to get an OTA with my brand new rooted phone as every phone has different procedures. And as I couldn't find any guide in this forum, I tried to ask questions that would interest also future readers of this thread. And I think we managed well so far. Until your last reply...

Now the question that is rising automatically is, how is it that you want to know if that ugly warning screen disappears after having already reverted back to stock twice?

Anyway, please let's not start to make this thread boring by posting more irrelevant posts. Mine here is enough... [emoji6]

And thank you again for making things a lot clearer to a noob like me
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] rndchef:
To answer your first question, the restore will unroot, lock bootloader and restore to factory. I have no idea if you can stay rooted and get OTA updates. The warning screen is definitely gone, TWRP gone and my bootloader is locked again.

The only reason I have found to send in is because it's dead or won't boot so it has never mattered if rooted at that point. It you can get to the warning screen then typically you can get out of trouble with the help of the smart people on this site. :good:
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
The problem is erecovery doesn't work for none Chinese firmwares as far as i know,and it's not working in my international phone.

But the user above has confirmed it's working for his US model.

So that's why I'm telling you to try cause it may not work for you.

Anyway trying won't do anything to ur phone,you can stop the download if it started and maybe it wont start,you may get "getting package failed".
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] itenos:
Ah, so there was a misunderstanding here. I was talking about the ugly warning screen and you've been talking about erecovery. Well, I just tried the erecovery and it seems to work on my c636b158. I didn't try to start the download yet because I'm not on WiFi at the moment

View attachment 4074638
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] itenos:
Decided today to try out this method in order to get the b172 OTA. Well, unfortunately it doesn't work on my c636b158. With the volume up button method I always get into TWRP, no way to choose erecovery anywhere.

The only way I see to get into it is from the normal boot as seen in the picture on my previous post.

Anyway, once inside there and connected to WiFi I only receive package info failed error.

Guess I have to go the way of flashing boot.img and recovery.img

Problem is that I have no idea where to get the original recovery.img from. Couldn't find it here on xda, just the boot is available.

Anyone care to help with it? Possibly also giving some step by step as this is my first OTA and I don't want to brick my phone.

Thanks a lot

Just came over the "download full package" option in system update. Would that do the same trick like the erecovery way?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] jr313:
It will fail. You need to flash stock recovery in order to use firmware finder app to update or take any OTA.

dload method not work on my mate 9
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] mat_919:
how do I go back.

All the guides for rooting I found on-line were useless. I followed one closely trying to do systemless root with Magick. I have been studying for two days all the guides before I touched anything. I unlocked bootloader, flashed latest TWRP, tried to do full nandroid backup... which failed. Error 255 something... Downgraded TWRP, thinking it was very new and might have been still buggy. Nothing same error. So I proceeded without backup since the phone is new. Flashed Magisk 13.3, rebooted, flashed superuser, rebooted, copied Magisk Manager apk and copied superuser apk and installed them.

Root checker initially said that everything was OK, but Ti complained about backup directory not being available.

But then something happened and now I have only 2 green check marks and 4 red X's. Also... it recommends SuperSU, not SuperUser.

Now I think, the only way to clear this mess is to go back to my MHA-L29C567B190 stock.....

Any decent step-by-step guide, preferably with pictures I can use?

I don't want to damage something even more.

Idea of systemless root was appealing mostly for PokemonGo,

Someone mentioned eRecovery before, that it worked.. Was that verified? Will such eRecovery flash lock my bootloader back too?

After BL unlock, messages showing up device is untrusted are also not nice. Any way to get rid of them?

I don't have technical android background, but rooting my old lovely GT-N7100 was piece of cake. Even LG Flex 2 without unlocked BL was not so hard. But now? Oh my... that Huawei. What do I do now?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ante0:
It's enough to just flash Magisk 13.3, no need to flash phh superuser (if you're on b182+, else magisk won't flash at all AFAIK).

Try by flashing back stock boot image, https://mega.nz/#!cw01zCCS!AX3wKw0V7pbIYC79Ny6OJ5CTuyxq-xA1ibltLMIRRZQ then flash Magisk 13.3 after.

If it still gives you red x in Magisk Manager, try:

*#*#2846579#*#* in stock dialer, tap on Background settings, tap on Log settings, check all 3 logs.

Reboot and re-run SafetyNet check
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] mat_919:
Great, thank you, let me see if I can understand... (BTW for anyone interested, I confirm, I was able to go back to stock by using eRecovery just fine, which downloaded and upgraded ROM from B180 to B190 and locked bootloader in the process).

1. Flash back to stock (which I already did)

2. If bootloader locked, unlock by contacting Huawei

3. flash TWRP (any particular version?)

4. INSTALL Magisk 13.3 via TWRP recovery

5. install Magisk manager

That should give me systemless root... and Titanium Backup should work with no issues...
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ante0:
Ah yes. Twrp needs to be 3.1.0 from the twrp thread in development.

If bootloader is locked you only need to unlock it again using unlock code in fastboot mode (assuming you were unlocked to begin with).

If you're decrypted, or want to be, install official 13.3 (remember to format data and flash public and hw zips for your model). If you want to stay encrypted install modified 13.3 (https://mega.nz/#!I4FQzbyA!gBZelHmD3lGGwzGISUXkf7GQTUAq5i785d_qPHQOaVE)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] mat_919:
Great, ....

:) sorry, but I have few more....

When we talk decrypted/encrypted is it like open source TrueCrypt or windows bitlocker kind encryption?

Is stock encrypted to begin with?

Why would I want to be encrypted (unless worked for CIA and processed classified information)?

When DEcryption occurs? During BL flashing? Reflashing stock? How to check current encryption status on the phone?

Just to make sure ... TWRP is model specific, is it?

... and finally...

when I used eRecovery to go back to factory, do I still have to do above?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ante0:
It's Androids File-based encryption.

Stock is encrypted.

Well, lets say someone stole your phone, if it's not encrypted they could access your data.

Encryption is on until you input your pin/fingerprint, that's when your system is decrypted.

If you haven't used Format Data in TWRP you're encrypted.

The only real downside to being encrypted (currently anyway) is that you can't backup the /data partition in TWRP.

I only use Titanium Backup so I don't mind being encrypted. And it saves a step when updating rom (the step being Format Data -> Flash back HW and Public zip).

That was the easiest way to restore this phone back to stock ( I am on the USA firmware) Thank You!! :good :highfive:
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jpzli:
As far I know, any Google Play and Google Play Services update released in 2017 and beyond probably won't work the A100. I speculate, this is due to Google stopping their support for CPU without the NEON instruction set.

Requirement:

Root Access

A root file explorer

Instruction:

1. Turn off Wifi to prevent auto-update when reverting back to the factory version

2. Go into the Settings => Select Apps => Find Google Play Services and Google Play Store => Uninstall Updates to restore to factory version

3. Download the latest APKs that works

Google Play Store 7.4.25

Google Play Services 10.0.84

4. Using a root file explorer, go into data/app and create two folders called com.google.android.gms-1.apk and com.google.android.gms-2.apk.

DO NOT

overwrite any existing file. Do the same for Google Play Store - com.android.vending. This process will trick Android into thinking there is no room to place the updated APKs.

5. Turn on Wifi.

Hope this helps out.:)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] zroice:
Hey guys,

I managed to get a dual Sim Note 7 from Hong Kong which would not charge anymore and couldnt be downgraded through odin anymore to charge again using a combination of the oldest TGY firmware that I could find together with a custom Kernel taken from a chinese Rom for that variant.

I extracted the /system partition directly from the odin package and then installed that to the phone with TWRP, together with that chinese kernel which had charging fixed.

So far so good - phone would boot, charge and run fine actually. But I had problems to connect to a Wifi or rather lost connection over and over again, so I thought I might just have to try another modem.

I took the modem-part (CP) from the TGY firmware and flashed that through odin, which went fine actually, but since then the phone no longer boots up. I can still access TWRP and flash stuff with DD though.

I tried different modems from different roms, but i fear the phone had an update installed previously which is not available on the internet..

Please help me to get this thing up and running again. As explained i can access twrp and theoretically can DD flash everything from there, but I need a list which file belongs to which partition. On some its obvious, but on others unfortunately not.

Or do you maybe have another idea how to get this thing running again? What could be the cause that the phone no longer boots just after flashing the modem part?

Do I maybe just have to clear modemst1 and modemst2 partitions?

Need some expert help here please.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] zroice:
clearing modemst1 and modemst2 didnt help.. still bootlooping. Its stuck at the Galaxy Note 7 logo goes black and back to that. But thank god the twrp boots fine and it even charges in there still.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] zroice:
ohh forgot to say - its a N9300 (hongkong model with qualcomm cpu).

Unfortunately I do not know which is the stock firmware for this thing.

I already downloaded 2 firmwares (the oldest and the second most recent) and tried to flash those but odin would fail. Now over the weekend im downloading the latest Firmware I found - unfortunately it takes like 10 hours per firmware download - they are not available at sammobile.. =/

I hope the phone takes that rom finally but I fear it might have an even newer firmware installed previously that disabled charging completely and that is not available online.

When I used "getprop" to see bootloader version of the phone that version shown there was newer than all the roms I could find.

---

When that latest rom I'm currently downloading wont stick on the phone with odin i might have to try to directly dd-fflash stuff in twrp .. not much to lose I guess. Or I will have to dig reeeaaaal hard to find the firmware that was on there.

N9300ZHU3BQB1 is the firmware, but it is nowhere to be found for free. I finally got it through that link above (the one benyou54 posted). I managed to contact the guy from that thread but I had to pay 25$ to be able to download it. But the guy was actually pretty cool - first he wanted me to sign up for an account on that site for 130$ though - but I just needed that one firmware and its a friends phone so I wasnt willing to sign up for just one damn firmware lol.

But thank god this piece of **** note 7 would take it and boot again finally - without that firmware it would have probably been a brick or I wouldve needed to be super brave and overwrite partitions by hand with TWRP.

Man man - good were those days where you could just up and downgrade things just as you liked.... fk this downgrade blocks - if i want to be forced into **** i'd buy apple...

---

Now im back to square one with this note 7 dual sim. I tried just flashing TWRP and the modified kernel I had from the chinese custom rom I had found but it would not boot - because of "old kernel".

I hope I can get it to run with the kernel by extracting the system partition from an older rom to the system directly and then manually flashing csc and kernel over too. (this kinda worked the first time - before i decided to downgrade the modem which made the thing bootloop).
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] that1man:
Hey zroice, did you have any luck with restoring the note 7 software/firmware to where you can charge it again? I have a tmobile note 7 and accidentally updated to where it wont charge due to the popup that disables charging. I have to keep the phone plugged in so it wont drain.

Any chance you can provide a simple walkthrough of how to get it to charge again for someone who is far from knowledgeable on this kind of stuff?

In the meantime, can anyone recommend a app that can help me back up my note 7 since Samsung does let note 7 users install smart switch?
