will this work on pra-lx2? ty
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] boofman:
It does. It worked on mine.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] Manuele1000:
Well, for adb sideload, even if it is stuck on "starting adb sideload", don't worry about logs, just try the command ADB SIDELOAD *.zip in cmd, and it will works. The adb sideload logs seems to be bugged.

For the "keep system read only" message, maybe it is because of a corrupted /data partition (and then it can't write configuration file on data) or, if you have an External SD, it can be corrupted too. Because twrp should write CONFIGURATION file somewhere and loads it when booting. And, for the "permission denied" when backup anything, same thing. If you haven't got a /Data partition (internal or externalSD card, it doesn't matter), well, not only you can't write configuration file, but can't also backup anything (because, where do you want to store the backups?)

Another thing that you might be aware of is the encryption. If /Data is encrypted, you can't mount it, even if it is not corrupted. Try to do a "Format data" or to buy/format sdcard, and tell me if you resolved.

Note: Corruption and Encryption aren't same things but it gives us similiar problem. Like "can't mount", or "can't write files".

Best regards!

I solved flashing the zip from external sd. The TWRP configuration issues remains.

/Data is present and i don't think it's corrupted everything is working fine..

/data backup failure

Where are we on this issue ?

I know some of us can backup /data without issue, but I still get a failure like "can't mount /data" (PRALX1C530B111).

Also will there be an official twrp for this device, or is it not common enough for it ?

Nice. What's the name of the OTA update files, where does System Update download it?
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] boofman:
I got three files. Copied one of them to external SD, "update_PRA-L22_hw_spcseas.zip" flashed that one using TWRP as I noticed the zip contains updater script that made sense.

I forgot where I copied it from, since I was at work on a break. It should have been on /cache, as after unsuccesful update via System Update app, I couldn't find them anymore.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] :
I got these files. Which one is it?
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] boofman:
Following the naming convention, it should be the 2nd one, though I don't take responsibility should anything happens..and YMMV
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] boofman:

Huawei GR3 2017 a.k.a. P8 lite 2017 a.k.a Nova lite 2017 is SOFT Bricked.

Good day, guys. Please help me to fix my device PRA-LX2. I had unlocked its bootloader and then flashed TWRP recovery after that I accidentally reset the developer options without noticing that the OEM unlocking remains OFF. Then I've decided to relock it again. So it bricks, I really don't know what to do I can't unlock the bootloader again coz the FRP is locked I don't even know how to restore its system. Is there any other way to restore its system?
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] :
I know there is a way with dc-phoenix, paid tool (15€ for 72h use). It writes firmware or recovery over locked FRP.

But maybe you can just flash stock recovery and do a factory reset from there?

---------- Post added at 01:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 AM ----------

Firstly, flash stock recovery via fastboot.

Unroot your Device ( on SuperSU app )

Download Firmware finder on Playstore

Download the B123 full firmware ( proxy method )

then your good to to.

flash twrp again then flash SuperSU again to root.

HI,

I have a problem with TWRP. My tel is a brik and every install on ROM Stock is failed...

This error is caused by TWRP ?

[P8 Lite (2017) Development] f301460:
So to clarify, no factory resetting in TWRP. Only in stock recovery. But after I install TWRP then what? No factory resetting at all? Or is it done through the phone settings? I ask for clarity in this because I want to install a custom rom and am used to doing factory resets quite often.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] :
Flash stock Recovery in fastboot every time you wanna do factory reset, but i wouldn't do anything yet as there are no good and fully working ROM yet. Wait until LinageOS becomes usable, if ever.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] f301460:
Even 3.1.1-2 isn't stable enough for factory reset in recovery? I can wait for custom rom. I am more interested in rooting and backing up/ restoring my previous apps via TitaniumBackup.

It is good that there is decent activity around this phone. But it is curious that nothing stable has as of yet...not even a stable recovery rom.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] :
You can root and backup/restore everything in TWRP just fine. Just don't do factory reset.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] f301460:
Alright. I'll be wary of that.

Does anyone tried this method on Build C69B110?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] izzibew26:
Ok, quick and dirty yet once again.

This method is not so quick but it works and will keep through OTA updates. I don't know who originally came up with this but this is where i found it so my credit goes to [MENTION=3500850]Sczar[/MENTION] for his post

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69767241&postcount=3

OK, here we go. First go here and root your phone( you can unroot when you're done):

https://xdaforums.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/sm-g935p-spr-root-nougat-7-0-data-t3568780
[MENTION=7523343]godpowerrr[/MENTION] is always around to help.

Once rooted open up a root file explorer and navigate to /efs/imei/ and open the file "mps_code.dat " with a text editor.

Change the SPR to spr (lowercase) and save the file. Once that file is changed simply use odin to flash the stock firmware, preferably with home_csc to avoid losing your apps and settings.

Once you're booted back up you should be able to use the ##3282# dialer code and select view, then APN Settings. At that point you should be able to simply tap on the APN and add the dun to default,mms line. don't forget to click save after you edit each APN you add it to. At this point you have some different features but you lost your wifi calling and gained video calling. You're free to keep it this way if you like. if you want wifi calling and the normal setup continue on with the next few steps.

Once you double check the changes took, simply re-root and change the file contents back to uppercase. After you save the file re-flash stock firmware with home_csc. This will restore wifi calling and anything else that was missing. At this point you're now on stock non-rooted with your tethering APNs. If you wish to remain stock with tethering stop here, you're all set.

From here you can either do your OTA or root, either way this will keep through the root or OTA.

Lol stop it.. so quick question.. since Sprint zone is disabled and I were do to this tutorial, how is it possible to check if no data is actually being applied?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] izzibew26:
It sounds like you're asking how to check without sprintzone if your data is showing up on the hotspot data of your plan or just normal data use. if that's what you're asking i assume you could check that online in your account details or call sprint and ask. I've never had the hotspot on my plan so i'm not really familiar with how it all works. If that is what you were asking i'd be interested in knowing as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] godpowerrr:
Ehh sort of. I guess what im asking is does your fix cancel out using mobile data which ends up charging if exceeded. And if it does, how do you verify or how are you verifying atm? Simply asking because ive tried some hotspot bypass' before and it was using my mobile data. Unsure hows this works, thx
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] izzibew26:
My best guess would be that it doesn't affect the hotspot plans data usage based solely on the dun method being used to bypass Tmo hotspot limit. I would like to see a verified answer from someone that actually has a hotspot plan. [emoji6]

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] jmckeejr:
Let's say you're already rooted and plan to stay that way, do you think it possible to change this file (SPR to spr)>reboot>change APNs>change file back? Or is the flashing to a stock Rom needed after the change?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] izzibew26:
I think it may be possible with another carrier but I think our packages that we disable keep this from seeing the change after a reboot. I haven't gotten any response about another carrier so I have no idea how it works for them. The flashing seems to be what triggers the system to see the change. If you use the home_csc when you flash you don't have to re-disable packages, re-install apps, or set your phone back up. Honestly I don't have the time to check package by package, with a reboot after each one, but I would encourage anyone with the time and patience to give it a try. Worst case Ontario you'll have to re-flash stock anyway. The original method doesn't usually take more than 10 minutes and lasts through updates.

I recently installed L-Call and it never worked correctly so I then installed the Lollipop call app which they're basically clones of each other. They are to change the incoming call screen to that of the Lollipop OS. I received a call this morning and my systemui just crashed. I un-installed first the Lollipop call app and then L-Call and yet every time I make or receive a call I can take the call but have to reboot the phone after the call every single time.

In order to prevent leaks during screen sleep want to run Amplify together with Greenify

What about such alarm (reported by Amplify):

Full Name:

com.Elecont.WeatherClock/.WakeUpReceiver

Elecont eWeather is an application which has many alarms count after every night despite setting it to update just when screen on (and the alarm checks very frequently when screen already comes ON so its crazy). It has time indication on its widgets in very graphical fashion so it takes care to show it accurately and that's why it constantly checks if screen is awaken.

It seems just Xposed module like Greenify can take care of such cases: hibernate when screen OFF and unhibernate when screen comes ON, however it doesn't hibernate the eWeather - why?

Probably because eWeather has two major components: widgets associated background service

and

GUI main interface,

and Greenify can see just GUI part and just this keeps hibernated.

How to make Greenify hibernate both components of eWeather, especially its service? Add list of Greenify shows just one entry eWeather and after choosing it the service component still runs unrestricted during phone sleep.

However as you can see other means seem to fail I'd like to return to Greenify. And at once have the big question. Please, see this screen:

and tell me how to enforce of hibernating these applications when the screen sets OFF (and to unhibernate just after screen comes ON): 3CToolBox, Ampere and CoolTool?

Important much to put these applications into hibernation with screen OFF as they have many wakelocks and are reported as power intensive!
