[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] bahador_b_92:
I tried to do a rollback from Android Nougat to Marshmallow on my VNS-L31C432B370. So I downloaded the Rollback-Package (Intermediate Package) from Huawei website and also the full B160 package. I put the first UPDATE.APP ind dload folder in root of my SD card and the tried holding Vol+ and Vol - keys and then the power key for around ten seconds. The force upgrade screen appeared and applied the UPDATE.APP and restarted the phone however as I have bricked this phone before, I remember that after the first restart there should come a "user reset" process to earse some data! This didn't appear and instead it got stuck on the screen which says bootloader is unlocked and gives 3 options. I waited a little and then restarted the phone with holding the Power key and tried to the same key combinations to redo the force upgrade process, but it just didnt't work! No matter how many times I tried the same thing that took me to force upgrade mode once before, it just doesn't work anymore! I can see that the phone trying to go recovery mode as the boot prompt screen changes from having 3 options to none, but still hangs on your device is now booting...

1. Bootloader was unlocked

2. FRP was unlocked

3. Chinese TWRP was the recovery

I can't make the phone to be detected by fastboot or adb as it apparently doesn't boot far enough to be detected by adb or fastboot! I also have installed the correct adb usb drivers for my device and I have the latest ADB & Fatsboot minimal on my Windows 10 PC!

Last time it took me a frustrating time of 10+ hours to find a way to bring it back to life, now I don't know what to do when the even the force upgrade is not working! I also let the phone to run out of battery and tried again, but still no luck.

P.S: When I try to enter force upgrade mode, it vibrates two times before showing the Huawei logo and going to boot/info screen!
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] romeo_coi:
Can You please explain me a bit clearly about what is the exactly time when we connect device to pc because the device always vibrates 2 times when it startups. And in your case did You connect usb cable to the device firts then connect to pc or connect usb to pc first? Because I see sometime it's really matter where we connect the usb cable first. Last thing I wanna ask: did your phone hold a charge during the brick? Mine doesn't, the led keep blinking red, device charge a little bit and startups then stucking and then turn it off by low battery. It was took me 2 days and I think I need to send device to a repair service until I found your topic, I have exactly symptom as You.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] harryhcs:
Mine does the same. Battery does not seems to charge. I cannot get into fasdtboot or recovery. aAAAAAH!!!!!
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] strykrmas:
I'm having the same problem. I have L23. It started when i attempted to wipe all partitions through twrp and flash nougat when it all failed. I then attempted to relock and then unlock the bootloader and since then ive been getting the logo screen with no fastboot or recovery. Ive tried the three button method and no lock. everything ive tried it keeps going back to the logo screen. plz help...
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] strykrmas:
By the way my bootloader is locked....
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] strykrmas:
OK I've managed to revive my vns-L23. It was running nougat c605b362 but I kind da grew tired of it having been running c605b120. On nougat, time and time again I attempted to install xposed and otg previllages but that proved futile. So I attempted to try my own method of rollback and that's when I getting stuck on the first boot logo.

You see what I did was...

First I went into twrp and wiped the partition (exclusive of SD card).

Then I started flashing .img files that I had extracted from the update. App of b120 hoping that I wudve rolled back.

After trying to flash system. Img it failed.

Cust.Img also failed.

So I decided to relock the bootloader and try to unlock it again...

The phone immediately got stuck on the first logo and showed no signs of coming out of tht...

For 8 hours I had no hope of restarting my phone, until d battery died and was able to boot into fastboot.

I again unlocked the bootloader but now with a dead battery everything seem grim.

Until I figure it out... The only way to get it back up n running was to flash d same firmware it had before. So viola right back to where I've started...

So.... Is there anyway to roll back vns-L23 from c605b362 to c605b120...

Help...!!

[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] lukem99626:
Hey guys just brought a xz unlocked UK to replace my bootloader g4.. Can anyone tell me what updates from Sony are like security. Patches are we getting 7.1? Sorry if this was asked before I couldn't. Find with search have a great day :o
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Aaromtaar:
It is up to date ( March 2017 ) security patch wise, soon enough we'll get 7.1 and 8.0 afterwards. Sony has really upped their update policy as of late.
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
For getting GPS to work on Wings production models I believe it is necessary to also dump and reconstruct the radio ROM from a pre-prod model. We also need the radio dumped from a production model so that we can compare. The dump procedure is more complicated than dumping the OS and this is nothing for n00bs.

Requirements

- Qualcomm QPST software (search)

- QC diagnostics drivers (attached)

- HardSPL, only needed if you want to dump from a production model

Procedure

1. Restart in tri-color bootloader mode and start MTTY

2. Type: rtask a

3. Type: radata Note: What you type is not echoed on screen!!!! (after pressing enter ignore the error message "Parameter error")

4. Type: retuoR Note: What you type is not echoed on screen!!!!

5. Type: rtask c

After step 5. the device will enter QC diagnostics mode and it will install 3 new devices on your PC. Make sure you install the attached drivers. After driver installation look in device manager to find which COM port the QC diag driver uses.

6. Exit MTTY

7. Start "QPST Configuration" and check if the device is recognized and if it is in "download" mode

8. Start "QPST Memory Debug", click "Get Regions" and then "Save To"

9. Upload the dumped files on XDA Devs FTP server

Dump NV Items

The configuration of radio are stored as NV items. It is possible to dump these as foolows:

1. Restart in tri-color bootloader mode and start MTTY

2. Type: rtask c

3. Exit MTTY and start "QPST RF NV Item Manager" and select Read from Phone from the File menu followed by Write Only listed Items to .QCN file

4. Upload the dumped files on XDA Devs FTP server

Version numbers listed in Splash screen

Please note them down and post them here.

Note that this procedure cannot harm your device in any way.

Final note: once an official HTC RUU file is available for Wings we can flash the reconstructed OS and Radio to your device. A RUU will be available sooner or later.
[HTC Wings] el_lo:
Here is the link to Qualcomm QPST software 2.7.247 ;)

I tried everything you said above, and all went well (retuoR gave mean an invalid command, but I went further and everything was ok :confused:).

I attached pictures of the task manager and QPST configuration.

The files you should have when you're done are : smi.bin ; ebi.bin ; load.cmm and whatever.qcn (this last file is the NV dump) . Is this correct Jockyw ? Will we have to reconstruct those to a .nbh file somehow?
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Well done el_lo :)

Yes, with ebi.bin and smi.bin *and* an official RUU we can reconstruct a complete pre-prod ROM.
[HTC Wings] butzchan:
An official RUU?
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Yes

Can someone write down version numbers appearing in the splash screen please. Thx.
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
Mine: (pre-production with working GPS):

R 1.58.06.16

G 25.42.11.00H

D 0.91.00.00

In Bootloader I have:

WING200 MFG

SPL-0.91.1000

CPLD-7
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
After I have put it into bootloader and started MTTY, I type in:

rtask a

Then it seems to hang. It shows:

POWER OFF PMIC VREG_USB : SUCCESS!

C VREG_USB : SUCCESS!

But I cannot enter more strings now...
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
I just ignored rtask a and did all other things

It installed the drivers but I get the following screen:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=66378&stc=1&d=1200611892
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Yes you can. You can type it, but you won't see what you type on screen! :)

Your screenshot is showing the device in QC Diag mode, but not in Dload mode.

Try again and follow my instructions.
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
Ok its now working... dumping in this moment...

you need the NV Items too?

Where can I upload it? which ftp-link?
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
Ok I have the smi.bin , ebi.bin and load.cmm

But cannot get the NV-File...

did exactly what you said:

1. Restart in tri-color bootloader mode and start MTTY

2. Type: rtask c

3. Exit MTTY and start "QPST RF NV Item Manager" and select Read from Phone from the File menu followed by Write Only listed Items to .QCN file

but while starting "Read from File" I get:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=66379&stc=1&d=1200614645
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
My fault... I had to choose the com-port in the settings first...

So I got all the files you want...

I have upload it here:

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Wings/HTC_Wings_Preproduction_radio_Dump_dumdidum.zip

I hope you can do something good with it. I love the GPS on my Wings :-) But the preproduction ROM is very unstable, so I'de love to get a stable ROM with GPS-Support. Although I fear that they have deactivated something on hardware, cause the producive wings are getting GPS data, just no fix... perhaps no antenna?
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Well done :)

Yes, I share your fears but let's see we can proof it using the "reconstruct pre-prod software" approach :D
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Anyone with a prod model care to take a note of the version strings in the splash screen please? Please note them down and post them here.
[HTC Wings] moneytoo:
Production

R 1.58.17.02

Thx for that link.

So we have:

R 1.58.06.16

G 25.42.11.00H

D 0.91.00.00

Production S730:

D 1.31.408.0

and

R 1.58.17.02

G 25.62.30.03H

D 1.31.00.00

Someone should now dump radio rom of a prod model!
[HTC Wings] jcespi2005:
Hi, mate.

First of all, congratulations for the finding ;)

I'm taking a chance for the procedure in Kaiser device, and love to know what are the steps after the dump process to get the NB file...

For what i understand, i need to dump files from the first process (9 steps) and after this dump the config files too (4 steps), am i right?

many thanks...
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Compare smi.bin and ebi.bin with the radio.nb you flashed originally, that will give you the memory layout vs. the rom (.nb) layout. With that you can reconstruct a radio.nb from any radio dump.

Good luck!
[HTC Wings] el_lo:
I've uploaded the radio from a production model here : Radio Production Model ;)

Here is the info from the production model in question :

R1.58.17.02

G25.62.30.03h

D1.31.00.00
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Excellent, so now we only need an official RUU to sort it all out.

Maybe we won't need it to reconstruct the radio, I'm not yet sure about that one.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] CatTurbo:
Hello

I've got an old find 7a, which I flashed today to Omni 7.1.1. It works very well, no lag, but I miss the option power schedule which I know from Color OS. With this option it was possible to start and shutdown at a certain time.

So do you know a inoffcial rom, like Omni or Lineage OS, or dirty unicorns, or... which supports the power schedule option and the unified partition option with LVM? The android version isn't very important, it can be android 6.x or 7.x

Thanks you very mutch for an answer.

with best regards

CatTurbo
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarcoRaNote3:
I bought a used Note 4 Sprint and since I flashed marshmallow using odin on it it gets laggy or reboots from time to time.

Is it something with my Baseband? Like should I install a different Frimware or it's a marshmallow issue?

The battery is okay and the screen is all good as well.

And finally do you recommend me any stable ROM or stock ROM ? Thank you I'm advance :)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Modtronix:
You couldn't have got a better answer very concise and thought out. I can only add that a bad battery will have the same results as far as shutdowns in marshmallow. Never had a reboot issue. However many have with the earlier builds.
[General Topics] mamado_02:
I trust my fingerprint scanner very much - but I'd say I use my PIN/reader almost equally on my Honor 8.

But I definitely see your point and your concern, because you never know: anything can happen; especially with technology still being quite vulnerable today. Despite the security, workarounds, etc, things can still happen. That's the sad truth.

Does anyone have any idea when the UK shipments will be going out? Has anyone preordered from Clove? I am US based and patiently waiting my shiny new S8+. It seems the US based orders have already started rolling out so hopefully we see some movement for the UK devices next week.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mikey_sk:
delivery on all pre orders from the main shippers (samsung, carphone warehouse, very, argos) will be 20th april. clove are a reputable site so they should ship around that date assuming they will get stock 8 days early like the main suppliers. also add international shipping and import tax if held.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] non1oson:
as in we receive it on the 20th?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mikey_sk:
if you pre ordered from one of those suppliers you get the phone delivered to you 8 days early on 20th april. carphone give away a free sasmung wireless speaker as well which is kool.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Velrix:
Is it typical to get hit with import tax?

Just checked the most it would be is 1$ per value and item. So shouldn't really be an issue.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Velrix:
Just a heads up, if you ordered from Clover Tech they are stating they don't expect any stock until the 28th. Kinda sucks as I pre-ordered from them being in the US and all I didnt have much of a choice for the Eyxnos variant anyways. Other suppliers in UK are already shipping but it looks like Clover is not a supplier such as Very, Samsung themselves and carriers.

Sorry to rub it in, but I received my Clove Monday. They shipped Friday. DHL got it across the pond over the weekend.

Xpost from S8+
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
Clove-sold S8's aren't pre-orders. We've bought and paid for one when they receive stock. I'd imagine it'll be first come first serve from the stock they receive. The UK launch date is April 28 so I'd assume UK resellers will start receiving stock a week ahead. So ours could be shipped out some time next week potentially. But it all depends on when Clove receives stock (and how much) which could be as late as launch day (April 28). I hope I get it before my 14 day return is up for the AT&T S8+ I pre-ordered. Clove is pretty communicative so I'm sure they'll keep us updated.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Velrix:
Good to know, thanks for the update. I know it's technically not a preorder as it deducted the payment immediately however wasn't sure about stock levels or shipment dates. I've seen a lot of rumors around items being sent around the 19th I'm the UK.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] gavinfabl:
A few retailers and some networks in the UK are offering the phone 8 days earlier than the official release date of 28th April. The 28th is when all places will have stock, which also applies to places like Amazon UK. The 8 day thing is just an irritating marketing ploy which favours some places who probably agree to promote the brand over another.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
The big resellers and wireless carriers that have deep relationships with Samsung will mostly abide by the rules Samsung applies. Others will be a bit more renegade. The problem with shipping them early is Samsung's support won't be fully prepared to deal with inquiries. Samsung's UK site doesn't even have the manual available yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] gavinfabl:
That is true. Anyway, Clove is one of my preferred companies and I have used them for about 10 years now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] osmosizzz:
First time using clove and seems like so far the experience is good. If it is, I will stick to them as they have the phone even cheaper than the US options which isn't bad for some of the software trades off. Regardless, seems like we won't be getting ours until the first week of may. They need to get the stock, then open to make the 5 minute call. Then close it back and ship it out to us. Im expecting mine the week of may 5th
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Sharpey76:
Used Clove quite a few times in the past and they always been good
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] st3rv:
I hope it'll arrive before Best Buy sells them unlocked for $725 / $825!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
The "U" versions of the S7-series Samsung sold weren't all they were cracked up to be. Devs sniffing around in the code found that the ROM was really the T-Mobile version with T-Mobile's proprietary stuff stripped out. But T-Mobile was referenced numerous times in the code. Samsung also totally neglected them update wise. AT&T got nougat out before Samsung did for the U's. It's still not out. So basically you'll be getting a carrier phone with the carrier stuff removed or hidden and no updates. And still no HD Voice or NumberSync if you're on AT&T. You're better off going for a "real" unlocked "F" from a region that gets regular updates. Only downside of an F over a U is the lack of U.S. warranty support.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] st3rv:
And I believe the F has Exynos and U Snapdragon... With the phones unusual requirement of a UK Sim to unlock, once the procedure has been completed, are we sure to get updates even while on a non-UK network?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] osmosizzz:
Yes we'll get the updates. When I have the international s7 edge from Singapore, I flashed firmwares from any country that got updates first via Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
Updates aren't carrier dependent, they're directly from Samsung. So any time BTU S8's get updated we'll get updated. I have a Singaporean NotePRO 12 that's 2 years old with an AT&T SIM in it that just received an update last week. It surprised me because Samsung disowns their devices after a year to 18 months.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] st3rv:
It sucks but to be fair it is clearly stated on the product page. Looks like we will get it around may 4th. They are talks that Best Buy will carry the U version on the 9th but nothing official yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] osmosizzz:
If the phone releases on the 28th in the UK, wouldn't shipment be he wet of the 4th? Think DHL will have it to us by end of week that week?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] st3rv:
OP and I are in the US and Clove expects to ship no earlier than friday the 28th, so we can't get it before early May. That's assuming it ships on the first day. They also have to unlock all international orders prior to shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Blaalad12:
As stated above. Clove unfortunately won't have stock until the 28th and at that , the guy i spoke to used the word 'hopefully' so he didn't exactly fill me with confidence that he will definitely have stock on the 28th! I reckon we will have our phone in the first week of may at best and thats hoping clove receive enough stock otherwise some of us may not receive our phones until the following week :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] st3rv:
I already canceled my US bound order because i was afraid of having to return it to the UK due to the red tint screen. According to a Best Buy employee, they will sell the unlocked version late april or early may (BH photo has it as an overpriced preorder for early may delivery as well), so it will probably not make a big difference on the delivery date... I've also read on the best buy product Q&A (granted it is far from being an official source) that Samsung will update the unlocked version monthly instead of quarterly like on the S7.
