[Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjollnir82:
Hello,

this is my first post on XDA, and despite the fact I know how to flash recoveries, ROMs, how to use TWRP, and have some basics in Linux, I am quite a noob in the Android (and generally, Linux and mobile) world.

So... I screwed it up my Honor 6 H60-L12 trying to downgrade the EMUI stock ROM :) (aaaand... I can't recall the versions of the ROMs...).

After flashing a ROM older than the one I had on my phone, the 3-buttons update (VOL+, VOL- and POWER, at the same time, when the device is off) didn't work, at all, and I landed into a stuck-at-boot situation (in which the "Honor logo" is displayed indefinitely). Also, I cannot power off the device (and being unibody, there is no way to take out the battery - without opening it...).

May it be that I screwed up the "download mode" (or Update mode) of my phone? Does my phone have a "download mode" anyway? Again, I am not an expert, so I may be totally wrong about all this.

I tried to use the MultiTool to unbrick the phone, to flash a Stock ROM, and flash stock and custom recovery, and this is the output:

- unbrick -> stuck-at-boot ("Honor logo" displayed indefinitely), no "recovery mode", no "download mode", "fastboot" OK

- flash stock ROM -> stuck-at-boot or bootloop, no "recovery mode", no "download mode", "fastboot" OK

- flash custom ROM -> bootloop, working TWRP "recovery mode" OK, no "download mode", "fastboot" OK

- flash stock recovery -> I cannot access the recovery, "fastboot" OK

- flash TWRP custom recovery -> I can access the TWRP recovery and operate in it (but it works only with recent versions of TWRP), no "download mode", "fastboot" OK

- flash CWM custom recovery -> any version work, at all :( no "download mode", "fastboot" OK

The only thing that is fully working is the "Fastboot mode", and when I have TWRP installed, I can use "adb", as a remote shell as well.

The problem is that I tried to unbrick the device with any method I knew: Multitool, bare fastboot, TWRP... Someone said to me that I had to use Odin, but I could not put the device into "download mode", which made me think that the problem may be the fact I screwed up, in some way, the "download mode".

How can I solve this issue?

Does even have the H60-L12 a "download mode"?

And a last doubt: is it normal that my H60-L12 platform name is "hi_mci.0" (and "hi_mci.1"), while it should be "ff1fe000.dwmmc0"? (i.e., the main filesystem tree is "/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/", while it should be "/dev/block/platform/ff1fe000.dwmmc0/"?

Thanks a lot for any help.

In any case, I am very willing to learn more about these marvellous and complex systems :)

Get the update.app , extract recovery.img from update.app with huawei firmware extractor. Later install that extracted recovery from fastboot .

privacy/security issues concern me.

So here I am to learn how to do the upgrade if it can be done on my SGH-i747.

I will do the grunt work but not sure what to ask for or what postings I need to read.

So, if anyone can help this nubbie, I would appreciate it.

Note: I posted this in another general Android forum and realized this specific forum should be better, I hope.

Unfortunately most custom ROMs in this forum were based off Gionee so likely you will get no SIM. Use your stock ROM /etc/firmware folder to replace that in ROM.
[Blu Vivo XL] Nacholer:
Thank you for your response.

I've already got twrp installed for 5.1

So i should just install this MM based ROM i said on the post and replace /etc/firmware folder?

Or i need to install stock MM from ota first?

Thing is, i cant OTA update, it says that the system is corrupted, i even tried from twrp but no luck
[Blu Vivo XL] Nacholer:
I've seen that i need stock mm to be able to install most of the custom rom's in xda

Thing is i can't install any OTA update. Should i flash 5.1 stock rom on top of the modified one i'm running?

By modified i am talking about the root and xposed, which is the cause i cant OTA
[Blu Vivo XL] min1968:
Follow my steps exactly then you can do OTA to MM.

The key is to use the 8 files backup to restore stock 5.1, not the backup only includes 4 files.
[Blu Vivo XL] Nacholer:
Alright, ill do that. Tried with the 4 files backup last night, didn't work as you just told.

Do you have a link to the 5.1 stock recovery i should flash with sp flash tool? I can't find it anywhere. It wont work if i still have twrp installed, right?

Thanks! i really appreciate it, and great guide btw
[Blu Vivo XL] Nacholer:
I installed the 11 files backup and i still can't get ota. I should install the stock recovery, right? got a link for that?

Thank you in advance!
[Blu Vivo XL] Rayan:
In my case I have a fully working STOCK but ROOTED Marshmallow Blu Vivo XL with working IMEI, but as soon as I wipe and install say AEX rom, I lose both IMEI functions and also get the dreaded wifi NVRAM error (but working wifi).

I also restored the etc/firmware directory to AEX but it wont help regain IMEI functionality.

MTK Engineering mode does not work on AEX because it complains not being stock rom so it closes.

For the life of me, I can't make a connection to the PC through SP Flash Tool too.

Any pointers?

TIA!

Yes, I know how to recover IMEI on the stock ROM and I'm currently running stock MM

The problem I have is that I can't run custom ROMs even if I try the etc/firmware trick you mentioned.

What is the stock TWRP partition that has the modem and IMEI? Maybe if I flash it back through TWRP once I get AEX rom up and running?

any help would be great, thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Does Sunshine say it can do a carrier unlock? Because last I checked Sprint is CDMA, not GSM...
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Uzephi:
"Sprint SIM unlock features are considered experimental." If the M9 is like my other HTC phones, the command to s-on is "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" Note: this will brick a device that has any oddities that require s-off like mismatching aboot to firmware, etc. In other words, be sure you are full stock before running the command.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Jonathanlc2005:
the sprint m9 is CDMA and GSM. unless you can find somewhere that says it cant... then from what i know its supposed to work
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
I'm aware that all phones support all of the bands they are just locked...and Sprint last I checked is one that Locks said bands and only "officially" supports CDMA

Bro i not only want to unlock the boatloader but also wanna unlock for using it with other sims then the sprint itself
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Uzephi:
So you want a SIM unlock? Sunshine is the only method and per the Devs of it, it isn't guaranteed. "SIM unlock for sprint M9 is considered experimental."

Edit: only other way is to call Sprint and have them unlock the SIM. If it's not subsidized, they should have no issues unlocking the SIM.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Jonathanlc2005:
yeah let me stop you there. it doesnt work
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Uzephi:
Worked for me. Then again, I bought my HTC M9 outright from Sprint...

Edit: here is the stipulation on unlocking. Yes, the M9 is capable per this link. Please don't say carrier unlock doesn't work if they state it does and some of us had it happen quite easily...

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] succ_o_tash:
I am considering getting an HTC 10, but I have seen some very concerning reports about the HTC 10 burning from overheating USB cables.

Note that this is a problem with the phone itself, NOT the usual USB C issue with cheap cables not using 56kΩ termination, as it has been shown to happen even with a variety of cables that properly use 56k termination.

Examples of what I'm talking about:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-...ef=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B01AHKYIRS

Despite the speculation about blaming third party chargers in the links above, the phone has also been reported to overheat when using the stock charger: https://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-10/help/to-return-to-s-locked-o-using-usb-t3570535

HTC is apparently aware of this problem, but compensated for it by giving out extra chargers and protection as a "gift": http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-sending-out-extra-usb-c-cable-htc-10-direct-buyers

I'm curious whether this issue still happens with new devices, especially since the 10 has been available for more than a year now, and HTC has had time to fix its issues. So, I must ask you: How much does your phone heat up while charging? What was your phone's manufacture date? Do you use quick chargers? Only the stock charger? Only the USB port on your computer? How much does this affect how you personally use your phone?

Hi folks,

I have bought a Xtrons PB96MTVAPL last week. which is a GS MTCD PX5 Octa-Core HeadUnit.

I am very pleased withe the performance of the system and the UI in general.

Since i am pretty new to the matter i played around with it a bit today.

I wanted to optimize the Factory Settings today and "accidently" pushed the "Reset Soft-Buttons"-Option... resulting in directly disabled Soft-Buttons... which is not preferable on a "Soft-Button-Only HeadUnit".

I also have a horizontal mirrored touch input now wich is really crappy and twists my poor brain...

I have contacted the Xtrons-Support but I have the feeling they force me to return the Unit which i dont want....

Is there maybe a way to remap my MCU Softbuttons?

Is there anybody who could send me a copy of his dmcu.cfg for the PB96MTVAPL?
[Android Head-Units] zapedge:
[solved]

Hi,

i solved the issue myself by using the "Reset Toch Screen" function. One has to point at the upper left and lower right of the touch area. After that one can remap the softbuttons.

it was quite a struggle getting there with a totally flipped screen.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skivnit:
Everytime I get a new phone I install BBS and enable root features but I'd like to wait with the s8 before rooting. That's why I installed BBS and used adb comments to have root features without root. The reason for this is mainly checking for kernel and partial wakelocks and see what I can and can't control. A lot of people will have high battery drain on Wi-Fi without knowing it as it will be under Android system stats. After you install BBS CHECK if you have rx_wlan_wakelock. This one is caused by the router sending beacons to your phone constantly and preventing it from sleeping. There are 3 settings to change to avoid this.:

DTIM interval: set it as high as possible

BEACON interval: set it as high as possible

Fixed IP: assign your phone a fixed IP so the router doesn't send new IP to the phone frequently.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mysticales:
Or... create a virtual wifi ID and have your phone just connect to that with your settings.

Being that we are on XDA. Ill assume you know DD-wrt, Openwrt, etc.. which case changing the settings there on the router could help.

Rather have those tweaked for best speed for my pc anyways vs my phone thus the virtual wifi ssid config. :)

Hey guys, I just got the phone today. Usually the first thing I do is to shake the phone to see if there is any unexpected noise.

Then I tried to hold some parts tight, but the noise was still there. I wasn't able to find the cause.

I hear this noise too. If the sound you're hearing is just a little clicking every time it's shaken, I'd guess it's the camera.
