[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] w0lv3n:
Gday everyone.

I just got this phone and since it was first powered on I've had issues. I will likely be going back to the carrier tomorrow and asking for a replacement, but wanted to put my experience down here. Ive looked at a lot of other threads, but all of them involve unlocking of bootloader, flashing etc - I havent done ANY of this (yet). Its fresh out of the box.

Location: Australia

Carrier: Optus

Model: MHA-L09 (cant access extended model number)

So first up, had issues connecting to the carriers in-store wifi, which uses a captive portal.

When I finally got it going I was presented with a Chinese site - id accept this usually considering it is Huawei.

This phone is a replacement for my dead Note4 and as such I wanted to restore apps, as I had no internet, I skipped the process.

Got back to my office and connected to my wifi fine, so decided to factory reset to get a fresh start.

Noticed that after reset the initial process was in a different order. Restored from Google and all apps downloaded, happy days for a couple of hours, just waiting for my service to port over.

2 hours later, I decide to restart the phone, it gets hung up on the Optus logo which is displayed before the reboot starts.

Hard reboot.

System loads, I figure I may as well see about a firmware update. Get 'Package installer isn't responding' errors. Try again, works, no updates available.

Go to google photos, get 'Package installer isn't responding' error.

At this point I think, f**k - what is going on here.

So I reboot into recovery to wipe the cache. This processes fine, but then the option to reboot the phone doesn't work.

Hard reboot.

Boots into recovery without me touching it.

Hard reboot. - happens again.

So then I think, fine ok, I've upset the balance, lets do a factory reset.

Factory reset hangs on 99% for over 30 minutes.

Against better judgement - hard reboot.

Now I have the EMUI logo with a nice round 0% under it... and that's where its staying.

Thoughts?

I have to fly interstate on the weekend and cant really afford unreliable comms. Should I ditch the Huawei?

Thanks all.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] w0lv3n:
So - it seems that nowhere did i find a mention of the fact that if i plug it into my PC and goto the recovery mode, it loads eRecovery. Whilst this didnt actually work (I believe it only works for CN firmware) It did give me a shutdown option. I shut it down and started it again and im back into a fresh install.

Lets see how I go now...
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
Never restore backups from other phone.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] w0lv3n:
Wow, helpful.

I didn't restore the backup from another phone, just apps, ie google downloaded the apps I selected.

The device is still performing poorly, even a standard reboot does not succeed, instead it hangs on the carrier logo before actually rebooting.

Ill take it back to the store tomorrow and ask for another one, im hoping Ive just gotten a dud.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] BenHD:
Hi xda community,

I've upgraded to B380 from B131, everything works fine with the exception of Audio streaming, haven't tried calls yet. So I basically can't connect my phone to cars, tried a 2011 BMW and a 2016 VW.

Pairing is working, when I want to stream music it works for two to three seconds, then bluetooth is magically disabled and needs to be reenabled for another 2-3 seconds of Music.

So far I've tried reverting back to stock B380 without TWRP or root.

Could somebody please point to to what I am doing wrong?

I've found several threads reguarding the issue but for none of them Bluetooth only seems to work for a couple of seconds.

Thanks a lot,

Ben
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Betacart:
I have also big troubles with Bluetooth - even it shows, that it is enabled, it not work or work partially. For me, only one thing helps - reboot. Try it too, after you are disconnected, reboot phone and check BT status, if disabled, enable it manually.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AUSTIZ1997:
So I recently got a Nexus 9. I think it was affected by the battery issues with android nougat. I rooted and used greenify and got much better battery life but decided I wanted to unroot and see if over a couple days the battery life would have gotten better. So I connected to my computer and stupidly sent the "fastboot flashing lock" command and now my Nexus is stuck in a boot loop because of TWRP. I knew that locking the bootloader would initiate a factory reset but didn't take into account that TWRP may affect that so now I can not use my Nexus. The device says it is a developer edition and not intended for personal use and I don't I know what to try. Just letting everyone know I only tried to sideloading and flash. I appreciate everyone who takes the time to read this and try to help.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the.teejster:
Have you tried following instructions from google to flash a factory image ?

https://developers.google.com/android/images
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AUSTIZ1997:
I have but I can't flash due to the bootloader being locked and I can't sideloading because every time I tried it just errors or does nothing
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo9818:
Did you try booting your nexus to fast boot and execute fastboot oem unlock?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AUSTIZ1997:

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AUSTIZ1997:
Update, I was able to finally get into the custom recovery and tried to flash the stock recovery and now it just boots into fastboot mode but I got rid of the custom recovery (as far as I know) and the boot screen that said the tablet was a developer device
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NskiBod:
Same problem here in May 2017, the OTA update prompted by Google sent the device into a bootloop. As the Bootloader was locked and there was no way to change to USB debugging mode it wasn't possible to use Recovery mode or to flash an OTA. Wiped data cache, tried all options in HBoot menu, tried flashing OTAs and full block OTA didn't work either. Just stuck in bootloop.

Repair shop encountered same problems so they then suspected the logic board. They heated it up to reflow the solder and success! Logic board may fail again through dry joint but I believe this risk can't be avoided by switching manufacturer as they all use the same component-to-board soldering practice.

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a software program that allows the O2 to read out such things as SMS, Email, Word docs....etc.....

That is, it transalates what is written and reads it back to you in a friendly voice.

Thanks in advance !
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] observer365:
Is this question for real???
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] mariner_heart:
maximum you can get is microsoft voice commands.

but the answer to your question is "no"
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] new_ppc_user:
you dont think it is a valid question?

obviously you havent seen the latest nokias (as an example) that can read back your sms messages with great accuracy. thats what prompted me to ask !

Hi,

I'm searching for Telefunken Tango mobile stock rom... can aynone help me?
[Samsung Gear S3] Pixmixa:
Unfortunetly the firmware I would like to flash is not availiable on the common sources, but luckely I could get a physical watch to extract it from.

Now I am searching for a tutorial or workaround about how to extract / backup a complete gear firmware and prepare it for flashing with Odin.

I already searched a lot but could not find anything. :(
[Samsung Gear S3] adfree:
:confused:

No idea what you searched nor what you found...

A.

But as you know it is Linux based...

1 method is dd...

This require ROOT...

Root for Gear S3 not successfully yet... :o :(

B.

Full dump via Direct eMMC...

Require HIGH solder skills + additional Hard and Software...

A and B require additional steps... to pull out every partition... :rolleyes:

+ little problem... as maybe private files will stay in these "Images"...

Your Pics... mails, Passwords etc... :D

C.

If you have Full Firmware as base... and you catch the FOTA file...

The incremental mini Update...

In theory it is possible to start such FOTA update manually from device...

I did it only with Mobile... SM-Z130H...

D.

It is easier and more safe... to use leaked Firmware...

Yeah I know... not all for free available... BUT they are available. :D

Depend on what you are searching for...

Something like this is floating around in Interenet...

R760_XXU1[B]APL1[/B]_OXA1APL1.zip

Best Regards

Edit 1.

Example for dd Command...

dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/dump/fulldumpZ1.bin

CAUTION!

This is taken from my Z1... Mobile... with external SD card inside...

It is possible to dump without SD card inside... as enough free space... not all Bytes mandatory and also every single partition is possible to dump...

But only if ROOTed... :D :rolleyes: :o
[Samsung Gear S3] Pixmixa:
Thank you very much.:svetius: This gives me a good overwiev about the posibilities.

To summarize: At least A and B is out. A is not possible and B is out due to the missing hardware and probably skills.

C and D is left. But both need software that i do not have. Of cource I would pay for it. No problem.

What I want to try first is not about the S3 but the S2. I want the firmware of an Gear S2 3G S-RM735 in Vodafone version (watch availiable) to work on a Gear S3 3G Sport S-RM730 that comes currently with AT&T Software.
[Samsung Gear S3] adfree:
Sometimes it is easier to "focus" on 1 or 2 features...

If you have luck these are simple apps... or some Settings crap...

Example from Tizen Mobile...

All available Tizen handsets Z2, Z3... have Theme Store.

Only Z1 have no Theme Store... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Instead trying to flash whole Firmware from Z2 or Z3 to Z1...

I have simple copied "ThemeStore.TPK"...

Simple installed this TPK to Z1...

+ little tiny Modification...

And Voila...

Z1 can enter Z3 Theme Store... and oh surprice... it work. :D

Maybe something similar is with your wish possible...

To use complete Firmware and/or dumped Firmware have most sideeffects...

Toooo risky... toooo much work.

Best Regards
[Samsung Gear S3] Pixmixa:
You recommendation to focus, was what I now did. I have sold all Tizen watches beside my S3 Frontier LTE and will wait for he Huawei Watch 2. That watch has all the possibilties that I wanted the S2 Sport from but no need for flashing and maybe crashing. It is a standalone version for sports and therefore I can leave mobile at home but stream fresh musik as long as I have network.

Furthermore the app development of Tizen did not realy accelerate for the last month.
[Samsung Gear S3] garyinskeep1:
Does anyone no how to extract the firmware from a t mobile Gear s2 watch I'm trying to see if it is possible to flash it onto a Verizon gear s2 watch right now the way it is I can't activate watch on t mobile as a standalone device but it has never been activated on Verizon so technically it has never had a Sim number assigned so if I flash t mobile it should let me activate on t mobile anyone have any suggestions.

Thanks for this info. I have to go back to my G2 for a couple months and could not find a good root method. I ended up using Kingroot but removed kingroot su using this link, https://www.droidmen.com/remove-kingroot-kinguser-with-supersu/ampand now have Super SU
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyintZ:
You're very welcome, Rybean. Thanks for providing that link as well. That appears to be a better method than having to purchase an app from the playstore to replace KingRoot's SU with SuperSU. Has everything worked out well for you so far?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyintZ:
After testing the above method to remove KingRoot's superuser and replace it with SuperSU, after a fresh root with KingRoot - I can confirm that it works without issue. So, if any of you decide to utilize the KingRoot rooting method and would like to switch over to SuperSU - please try this method first. If it does not work, then I suggest trying the SuperSU-Me app from the Play Store.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrautHolg:
That link doesn't seem to work anymore.... Also, any advice on KingoRoot, as far as replacing it with SuperSU goes?

I downgraded my device to 3.2.8 from nougat because of the bluetooth issues.

I just downloaded the full OTA zip of the latest Marshmallow version.

You can find the links here:

http://downloads.oneplus.net/devices/oneplus-3/page/2/

I flashed OnePlus 3 OxygenOS 3.2.8.

I am using Windows, but approach is basicaly the same in linux.

You need to setup adb on your computer, go to recovery, then in recovery options go to update from adb (not sure if its called exactly like this) and then in command prompt type:

adb sideload PathAndNameOfTheZip

Replace "PathAndNameOfTheZip" with the actual path and name of the zip file ofc :)

And wait for this process to be completed and reboot.

This process will wipe your data and internal storage so backup everything first.. I havent :)

Did you not read his guide he clearly states,"I am not a genious, only french canadien with time to lose, i going to try to do my best, my english is not perfect."

"canadien" is how French people spell it, do you watch hockey, look at how the Montreal Canadiens is spelled not Montreal Canadians.

Anyway there is currently no root for our V20s from Freedom or Videotron since the Bootloaders are locked. I have tried. I cant say that this method works since IK am not willoing to try it until my warranty is up. But I have done a similar process on an old samsung from Wind mobile , Had to convert it to a T mobile version in order to root, ****ty thing was I could not return it to original version.

Awesome with one major issue.

I realize this is an older write up, however, this is what worked for my Canadian Freedom V20 H915. I spent 24 hours with other methods and none of them worked properly. I would either end up in loops or permanent static. So thank you for this method and write up as it is the only one that has my phone rooted and functioning.

Here's my problem:

After an unspecified time after each boot, the touch screen stops functioning. My guess is the kernel? Anyone else experiencing this or know of a possible solution?

Thanks.

yes boot2 suppose to give static. that means dirty santa/elf has worked. Dirtysanta/elf causes static on all v20 models.

Now it was matter of flashing an updated us996 rom and updated kernel that fixes static on boot like mk2000 us996 santa bttf.

The option to turn off the shutter sound has been removed by Motorola in the Marshmallow update, at least for the Indian market. ( I don't know if they had added this feature in the future updates but 6.0 doesn't have that option)

The only way to remove/disable the camera shutter sound is to remove the camera_click.ogg from the system for which you need a Rooted device.

* Grant root access to ES File Explorer, navigate to /system/media/audio/ui/ & rename camera_click.ogg to camera_click.bak

Reboot the device.:good:

In several threads I've seen it recommended that you charge to 100% before flashing your phone. Are there any facts behind this or is it just voodoo?

What's the reasoning behind it?

Thanks,

-Brett.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Dont Die

If you phone dies whilst flashing it becomes a nice shiny brick! You can try and fix it but it wont be easy.

If you're at 100% there is little chance of the phone turning off.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] johanromijn:
CustomRUU will not start when your battery is under 50%.

When your battery is over 50% loaded you can flash safely.

There is no reason why it should be fully loaded.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] shogunmark:
i would suggest it being more than the required 50%.. flashing a phone takes alot out of the battery....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] zzoinks:
I think I phrased my original question wrong: I understand that sufficient charge is needed for the actual act of flashing.... however, I've seen it suggested that having a 100% charge has positive effects even after the flash. i.e., it somehow makes your phone perform better post-flash.

Any truth to this?

Thanks for the replies so far!
