[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 911delorean:
(Keep in mind all of this is happening without a OS on it after the sentence where i decied to format) New to the forums and still noobish at flashing roms and the like. But here is my delima, I had a kindle fire HD that i got years ago and flashed properly with the 2nd boot loader, TWRP ( I think at the time the version was like 2.7.0.0), and Pac-Rom, well wanting to try the Cyanogenmod and other roms, being a complete idiot I decided that I would format the device completely and flash a new rom and gapps because I have just had more success flashing that way. Anyway, I finish and was looking at roms on XDA and noticed that TWRP finially got updated to 3.0 so I assumed that I would finially get mass storage support over usb, like a flash drive. well that didn't end up working still, oh well no biggie i have used ADB a few times to push some roms over. So I find out ADB had a message to the extent of when I did the ADB devices command , the device was unauthorized. So I thought crap something must have gone wrong when I was updating to the new version, so ended up fastbooting into a version of TWRP 2.8.something, and that worked but my device was still unauthorized, so restarted, and now its in some odd boot loop, like the kindle fire logo will only stay up for a few seconds then shut down immediately, and just keep repeating like that, the blue logo won't show up and I cant boot into fastboot or into TWRP.

Does anyone know what went wrong or how to fix it. Huge thanks if you can!:):)

Help please unlocking GSM radios on LG G4 with VS9862AA

Hello, a family member received their phone back from LG with a replaced motherboard due to the boot loop issue. We got it back with the VS9862AA software version (Build Number MRA58K).

Can anyone one point me to instructions on what to do to get the GSM radios unlocked so they can use the phone on AT&T or T-Mobile? I remember doing the install to 6.0 Marshmallow maybe a year or more ago when it wasn't available yet officially, and that one had the unlocked bootloader and GSM radios unlocked. So I'm somewhat familiar with the process, I just need to go back and revisit my notes I made about the ordeal.

Has there been any improvements to make this process easier if we just want the GSM radios unlocked? Any help would be very, very appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

Hi Guys,

My friend bricked his phone. Im trying to recover it. Its a VNS-L21.

I tried putting the stock rom on it using dload method from

and

but the upgrade fails everytime saying incompatible.

any help is appreciated :fingers-crossed:

My fix for the issue

Hey man, I got a problem just like you and this is the way I fixed it.

Download the Huawei update extractor:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2433454

And use this to open your Update.app you already downloaded.

Extract the 'boot.img' and the 'system.img'.

Now you need fastboot, follow this tutorial:

https://www.xda-developers.com/xda-...tall-adb-and-fastboot-system-wide-in-windows/

Now open terminal/cmd/powershell and open the folder the boot.img and system.img you extracted are in.

Connect your phone in fastboot and run the following commands:

fastboot flash system [Extracted_System.Img]

fastboot flash boot [Extracted_Boot.img]

fastboot reboot

This resolved the issue for me, I hope also for you!
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] malikusmanrasheed:
Hi Jatan,

Thanks for the reply. I tried that as well with a couple of stock images but all i got was a blank screen. Can you share the stock image that you used?

:good:
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] malikusmanrasheed:
for most Stock images when i try to "Fastboot flash system d:\System.img" ( system.img is in D: in my case), i get this error

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] colthekid:
How did he brick it? What was he specifically doing (nougat update etc.)? Do you get the same error when you try and flash a boot image, stock recovery or other partitions?

Can you install twrp? If so, try wiping the system & boot partitions in twrp, then try flashing boot & system again in fastboot. If he'd updated to nougat, then you'll need to try and flash the rollback package first then dload a Marshmallow rom and go from there
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] JatanX:
I would suggest using this tool:

https://xdaforums.com/p9/development/huawei-p9-eva-l09-eva-l19-eva-l29-tool-t3591358

to install this tool to unlock bootloader and install twrp.

After unlocking your bootloader everything on your phone is gone though.

Then in twrp you can try to repair your your partitians by going to wipe->advanced wipe->repair or change...

And thereafter continue with the steps is provided earlier or install a new rom, this is up to you.

I hope it fixes it for you.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] malikusmanrasheed:
Hi colthekid,

He just went nuts and wiped everything he could see in the twrp.

After that I have tried to write this via the method jatan suggested:

VNS-L21C185B360

from http://www.stechguide.com/download-huawei-p9-lite-b360-nougat-update/

still no boot.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] malikusmanrasheed:
I'l try that and update.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] malikusmanrasheed:
i have twrp. repaired the partitions. did the flast via fast boot using the above method

"Now open terminal/cmd/powershell and open the folder the boot.img and system.img you extracted are in.

Connect your phone in fastboot and run the following commands:

fastboot flash system [Extracted_System.Img]

fastboot flash boot [Extracted_Boot.img]

fastboot reboot"

and still the same. It flashes the files fine. but at boot i get a black screen.

I think im using the wrong files. Can anyone please share the link for a full stock rom nougat , or a roll back from nougat to mm (i flashed this VNS-L21C185B360 latest)

Putting the puzzle back again:

I think the genius removed the oeminfo along with everything else he could see in the twrp wipe menu.

I tried to put multiple firmwares on the device nougat ( as he updated) but the boot still showed blank.

As soon as i flashed the oeminfo --> then MM firmware, the device booted up.

Thank you so much everyone for your help. Really appreciate it :good::good::good::good::good::good:
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] colthekid:
Excellent! :good::good::D:D

And I'm sure your friend is glad to have a working phone again!

Explains why dload wouldn't work as well. As far as I'm aware the update.app checks oeminfo to make sure the firmware is compatible. Hence if you want to debrand a phone to C432, you have to flash a C432 oeminfo before the C432 update.app will flash successfully. No oeminfo=no compatibility for anything!!!

please help unbrick my P9

I can't get into fastboot, the only one thing it boots is the eRecovery, (system partition damaged)

somehow i managed to get to fastboot but trying to flash system get error

sending sparse 'system' (449861 KB)...

OKAY [ 14.749s]

writing 'system'...

FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure)

finished. total time: 15.142s

Update: To get into fastboot is very important that smartphone is connected via USB to PC, then Power-button and VolumeDown together till Phone gets into fastboot.

from there flash TWRP, and reboot to recovery, after that install full Update (Files and guideline is here in first post part 3 and 4 https://xdaforums.com/p9/development/rom-huawei-p9-magic-rainbow-t3601064).

Is this feature not on the VZW variant? When I first set up my S8+ it was there then completely disappeared. The button is not in the notification shade. I have reordered the buttons and the grid and cannot find it. Also it is not in the settings and or developer options. (I know it wouldn't be in developer options but checked anyway).

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] gangrif:
So, I bought a cheap "4k action camera" to play around with. It has wifi, and I was working on getting it connected to my phone .

While doing so, the wifi on my phone sort of.. hung. I couldnt switch to my usual wifi network, it was just sit and spin, eventually wifi stopped showing my networks altogether. If i open ip the wifi settings, the indicator just spins, i cant turn off wifi, and no networks are listed. After doing so, I cant even shut down my phone without holding the power button for 10 seconds.

I'm just trying to get this cleared up, anyone have any suggestions? I have my phone connected via ADB, but it's stock, no mods, no root. I've considered a factory reset, but I'd like to avoid that if I can.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] gangrif:
Well. After a few hours of fighting with this, I ended up unlocking (which of course wiped my phone). This way I'm free to root or flash in the future without that being a barrier again. The wipe, of course, resolved my problem.

I'm trying to decide if I want to jump straight to a custom ROM now or not, before I get too deep into getting my phone set back up. Any suggestions?

Hello,

This won't help in case you want to open a command prompt in a specific folder. Check the link above...

Cheers...

EDIT: updated link. Tested it myself and the previous one didn't work. This one does :good:

Also, just in case you would like to go back to previous state, instead of deleting the cmd DWRD as stated on part 10 of the tutorial

10. Delete the DWORD with the name HideBasedOnVelocityId.

I suggest you right click on the name, select "rename" and just add an underscore _ like this _HideBasedOnVelocityId

Do the same if you follow the second part of the guide and want to hide the "Open PowerShell window here"

Cheers :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Citizen_Snips:
This didn't work for me. I tried renaming first and then deleting the entry. None worked. I went back and tried again and all the settings are already correct as per the guide. I did it again anyways and still nothing even after a reboot. Not a huge deal since I can still just open CMD and cd to the correct location. I have mine at c:/SDK/platform-tools so it isn't a huge pain. Any ideas? I took the latest Creator update.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Citizen_Snips:
What the heck, I wonder why it isn't working for me. Is your username (for step 6) a single word or two? Mine is my first and last name. I don't think that should be an issue since when I type it in and hit check names it shows up as PC NAME\FIRST LAST so it doesn't seem to have any problems with that. Checked the box under it, deleted registry key. Changed admin to full control & nothing. Tried giving USER full control as well and nothing.

I've followed the steps 100% about 8 times now, I know I'm not missing anything, but it just won't work for me. :crying:

Try adding this *.reg file: Enable Command Prompt.reg

Just double click and accept... Open it if you wish, basically, it's just the "HideBasedOnVelocityId" renamed to "_HideBasedOnVelocityId"

I didn't find infos if it also needs proper permissions.

Let me know if it works...

Also adding a "disable command prompt" in case you want to revert the change. I just found the *.reg somewhere and edited it a bit...

I tried the *.reg file just for fun and it seems it still needs proper permission though...

By the way, did you properly set the full control at step 9?

Strange, but after a reboot it disappeared for me until i set "full control" for my username (Seb desktop as you can see on the attached screenshot) and not administrator as per the tutorial... This thing is really weird. Doesn't work for you, disappear after reboot for me, lol...

you are of course totally correct, it's not the answer the OP was looking for.

But it is how I personally answered the same question when I encountered the same scenario the other day.

And it has the added benefit of working "out of the box", so to speak, which might appeal to users who aren't interested in, or confident enough to, make system wide changes.

I also felt it might also be helpful to users who haven't previously had the need to use PowerShell or that might not be familiar with setting path variables etc etc

not everyone who reads this thread will be looking for the same answer as the OP, but they might be in same scenario ☺️

I followed this video: How to Unlock Bootloader on HTC Desire! Works on All HTC Devices (livingandroid)

I did perfectly, no hiccups

I then followed this video: The Easiest Way To Root Any Android Device Without A Computer (2017) (The Android Guy)

So in my genius i thought (well dang why dont i just wipe everything and it'll be good "just like my iPod")

Guys i want to cry from how dumb i am. I've never posted here. I have never had an android much less messed with one. It tells me that if i reboot the system I will have no OS. That sounds extremely bad in my head. Is there anything i can do to somehow just fix this. Anything at all? Thank you so much for any help.

[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakesnot-hereman:
Yeah, going through with that last part sounds like a pretty poor idea. I don't think you're totally screwed yet, though. Try finding the *RUU* for your version on the HTC website, paying close attention to the model and carrier. In theory, the RUU alone should reset your OS back to the factory state, but it apparently doesn't work 100% of the time. If it doesn't work, say something and I'll reply with new instructions.

Good luck out there, man.

Jake

P.S. I think all you had to do to root this thing is flash SuperSU. At any rate, there's a tutorial in this forum that makes it pretty easy; you shouldn't be able to do this again if you follow it. Check it out if you get the chance.
