[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] hunhool:
Ok, jump in the forum...

Just bought my P10plus (6gb/128gb) a few days ago, and surprisingly there is no update for my device(based in the Netherlands) latest update was b123. So how can I install the latest b133 update if I download through the app from play store?

Locked bootloader, no modifications at all.

Thx.

Is it worth to install at all?
[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] Craphead:
Only ways for updating past B123 right now are either through unlocking bootloader or by using Funkyhuawei. For the latter you have to pay though, currently minimum 23$. Imho there is no noticable difference between B123 and B133 though.
[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] v587zzy:
I would like to do OTA update on a Rooted P10 Plus as well... :) with TWRP

I only knew how to root the phone. Took me a while to root, not as easy as my other phones. Thus I don't want to unroot an reroot again.

Though I can wait, I dont really need to get the update installed the same day as OTA.

Is there any way to install it easily?

[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] R.azn:
This method from Mate 9 forum works, and it's free (I've flashed like 4/5 OTAs with it).

But it does a factory reset everytime, since you must unlock bootloader, and it becomes locked again with new OTA flashed, so need to backup first.

The oeminfo files for VKY-L09 (single sim), VKY-L29 (dual sim) and VKY-ALL (chinese dual sim) are in the zip, so you have to chose the right one and accordingly be sure to find the right files from hwmt.ru for your device ( i.e. don't try to instal L29 firmware with a L09 branded device ; it should boot, but you'll have a lot of weird bugs and it won't show the right device name in phone infos).

Hope it helps :good: !
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Mr Joegernaut:
Note 4 is getting kind of old and G5 seems like the only feasible upgrade since it has sd card slot, ir blaster, unlocked bootloader (H850), removable battery. You think it is worth the upgrade? Seems like these types of phones will not be made again in favor of boring iphone clones (I don't really care how the phone looks since i always put a case on it anyways, even metal and glass will scratch if dropped). If I wanted an iphone clone, I would just buy an iphone. I don't want to the v20 because of locked bootloader and the US996 variant doesn't support all the ATT bands I need.

Note 4 Pros:

- Camera lens doesn't crack like g5 (not sure if overplayed though), no bootloop issues (again I think over exaggerated compared to g4 which I had) but does have emmc issues.

- Larger screen (I can live without, g4 screen was big enough and g5 is similar)

- AMOLED (can be a con also)

- S pen, I hardly ever use it honestly.

- build quality is probably better

- micro usb (g5 has type c which means more cable adapters but is the future honestly)

G5 Pros:

- Faster and newer cpu

- 1GB more of ram

- Supports Andriod 7

- Better camera (plus wide angle camera)

- Better IR Blaster (able to learn codes)

- More LTE band support

Can I expect the same longevity out of the g5 compared to note 4? I have had my note 4 in a case with tempered glass, few drops no issues. Replaced battery once and still going strong. I like to root but run stock rom.

I would get the h850 variant, seems there are actually variants of the h850, how can you tell if it is Europe h850 vs some other? Thanks for any feedback.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] marco_n:

I'm actualy thinking the same thing. N4 to G5. My phone before the N4 was a nexus 4 and I've grew to hate the touchwiz interface in favour of a cleaner android experience. How's the G5 regarding this?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Nick216ohio:
I am not going to sugarcoat anything for y'all. Depends. How much you spending? I know it various for place to place. I am waiting for Note 8 myself. I'd say the G5 is the best bang for your buck flagship right now. But be careful this phone has issues.

Bad*

Notorious GPS issues-

Screen ghosting-

Build quality crap-

Few others-

Good*

Great price-

Good Specs-

Great camera-

Pretty good development-

Few others-

If money is not an issue for you wait and go with note 8. If it is then maybe g5 or OnePlus. Don't waste your money on galaxy S8 or G6 overpriced no true upgrade.

Only issue I've had is screen ghosting. If you do buy g5 get a newer issue manufacturer, less issues.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Mr Joegernaut:
I will be buying used. I paid $200 for note 4 tmobile version a year ago and see the prices of G5 near $300 h850 at least. Harder to find of course. I use ATT towers (cricket and h20 mainly) so looking to get the international version since it has unlocked bootloader. I may be able to get away with tmobile g5 version but I don't like they stripped away the fm radio and added some other things/took other things away. I miss the good ole days of google play edition phones. Andriod 7.0 has almost matched samsung touchwiz now in terms of features with multi-window apps, etc. Back in the day samsung and lg software had a lot more features but now the difference is almost zero with of course andriod vanilla being much smoother.

My note 4 had gps issues, very weak antenna and I had to adjust it a few times. Fails to lock sometimes though, only negative I have to say. Also there are some others note 4 people starting to have memory and motherboard issues so pretty much no different than g5. Do the g5 camera lens really fracture easy, if so best way to protect it? I run a dual layer case on my note 4, hard plastic outer shell with tpu inner and tempered glass on front. The case is really thin, not otterbox thick.

I plan on using the g5 for the next 3 years or so until they start phasing out lte compatible bands and forcing upgrades. I can probably get like $125 for note 4 so g5 would only be like $150-$175.

To answer other guys question about touchwiz vs sense, sense seems less bloated at least it did when I had the g4. I think samsung has optimized touchwiz a lot over the years and is probably pretty fast on the s8 but then again they don't have to add so many custom features like multi-window/etc since andriod 7.0 comes with it now standard.

How do you tell if the phone is newer manufactured and what is the cut-off date to avoid ghosting issues on the g5?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Nick216ohio:
Get a good case aka outter box, bulky but that thing can take a beating. I've dropped mine a million times and device looks new.

Ghosting issues seem like a guaranteed to happen. There's filter apps that help with it. The newer built issues seem to have less of the other issues GPS and few others. Well because your buying it used might not have original box. But it says it on the box far as manufacturing date. You could also ask the seller, they may know.

[SuperR Kitchen] Xennet:
For all those lazy fellows like me out there who doesn't want each time to open up an elevated command prompt and to type python superr to launch the kitchen in windows...

I created a tiny program Launch Kitchen.exe (attached below) which you can copy to the root of your superr-kitchen3 folder and just double click to launch the kitchen with elevated command prompt previleges (it natively opens with elevated administrator rights, no need to run as administrator) so that no more previlege/adminstrative errors while cooking ROMs. You can easily create a shortcut to the Launch Kitchen.exe on your desktop for ease of access.

[MENTION=5787964]SuperR.[/MENTION].. Sorry if you didn't like the icon...
[SuperR Kitchen] SuperR.:
This seems cool, but Windows defender deleted the zip right after I downloaded it. Said there was malware. Attached is a screenshot of windows defender history showing the reported malware.
[SuperR Kitchen] Xennet:
That's false alarm

I had compressed the executable with upx packer to reduce the size and also that the underlying code cannot be easily altered

But,

Packed executables are sometimes detected as malwares because the normal windows ms header is replaced by the packer header..

That's why just don't trust windows defender

If you need I can upload the unpacked executable.

Or you can just ignore the warning in the windows defender

But it's really nice to have a launcher that automatically launches the kitchen with elevated previlegess so that no problem ever occurs due to inadequate admin rights and UAC policy while building, packing or unpacking of ROMs or boot images..
[SuperR Kitchen] Xennet:

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] xanadu1979:
I have a US unlocked HTC 10. I'm S-Off, but the bootloader is locked and I'm not rooted. Using totally stock software. Android Pay had been working fine up until a few weeks ago, but now it stopped working and my Play Store settings says my phone is "Uncertified" under "Device certification".

There were a few updates a few weeks ago. I'm wondering if one of them caused the device to be Uncertified when it is s-off? Or maybe it was a recent update to Android Pay or Play Services?

Can anyone verify that just having s-off breaks Android Pay?

Yes but Google has access to everything, so they can check whether you've modified it or not, but there are also some posts on the web that complete stock phones even non HTC can't use Android pay because of play store shows uncertified device. Don't blame HTC or so for that. It's Google ****

[LG G Flex 2] mackn:
can some one please help me....i purchased an unlocked former sprint lg g flex 2 from ebay to use with my gsm sim card.

I have used the phone for 10 days without any problem but from nowwhere today it just showed invalid card.

when i reinsert the sim,it detects the sim for about 10 min and then brings a pop up on the screen saying "the phone ll reboot until you insert a valid sim card"then it reboots and stays on invalid sim.

Tried a different sim it also works for roughly 5 min and then does the same thing.

I have tried hard reset,factory reset,rebooting it and everything that i found on google but nothing works,still stack on "INVALID CARD"

Any help please i ll appreciate!
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
Best thing to do is return it. Never buy a sprint device for use on GSM carriers. Only buy a sprint device if you intend on using it on Sprint.
[LG G Flex 2] mackn:
unfortunately am not in the US currently and it can be difficult to return it.

Can i root it?Can it get back to normal? so desperate right now.:(
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
No clue. Getting it to work can be difficult or could be easy. But it's just not a reliable device to use on GSM carriers.

Did you make sure network mode is set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE?

If so your best bet is to check out this thread not sure if it still applies https://xdaforums.com/g-flex2/general/sprint-g-flex-2ls996-gsm-domestic-t3122813

hi,

i have just discovered that my phone was already rooted by the seller after i ran root checker.

do you think if i unroot it and root it again would solve the problem that am having.
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
Just unrooting wouldn't solve the issue. The device was most likely rooted with changes to make it work with a gsm carrier. That phone in its stock state won't work on any other carrier at all besides sprint.

Hi hyelton

I want to unroot my phone it has stock rom of 5.1.1 zvb.can i use zv5 or what would you recommend.i just want to take it back to stock so that i can unlocked it with unlock code for gsm use.

Maybe it solve the problem am having.

Am a newbie to this rooting thing so i just want to do the right thing.

Device:LS996 from sprint.

Problem facing:service disable,invalid card
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
You should be able to since it's updating. But updating will actually make it to where you won't ever be able to use it.

You have more of a chance getting it working with a GSM carrier while rooted than not.

The issue your facing is not a problem, it's supposed to say that when inserting a non Sprint sim in the sprint device.

Remember that model has to be tampered with to make it work on a GSM carrier. It's not supposed to work on a non sprint carrier without things being changed.

Broken Antenna

I've had my LG G Flex 2 for a little over a year and this happened to me.

SOLUTION: The antenna is most likely broken and needs to be replaced. The lady at sprint said it is common with this phone so I'll try to figure out how to do that.
[LG G Flex 2] hyelton:
Yeah but your using the device on sprint? These users are not. They're using it on a GSM network outside of the US this issue is over the software not hardware.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] francesco_mnz:
Hi everyone,

My Xperia Z3 which I love is unfortunately dying and I need to replace it.

I'm buying either Honor 8 or Redmi Note 4 (if I decide to save some money - and also I like the big screen).

So, my question is: is Honor 8 still worth buying now around 320-330€? Is it worth double the price of the Note 4? I know it has no custom rom support, but:

-will it get Android O?

-how's the display in sunlight?

-how's the battery?

If the answer of all these questions is meh, I'll go with Redmi Note 4.

Thanks to everyone who will reply!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Nyssa1104:
Yes still worth buying. Honor /Huawei have a sale on the Honor 8 if the phone fits your needs go for it.. It's a great device.. Just my 2 cents worth..
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] infernalhotdog7777:
Display in sunlight and battery, camera , average performance very good, things that i dont recommend this device to other probably low in loud speaker quality.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] evilpaul13:
Rumor: There's going to be a new version announced/released in the next two to three months at an event in Taipei. I'd guess it'll have a Kirin 960 which has a much nicer GPU.

Huawei has been VERY bad with updates. I was using the B360 release until yesterday or the day before when B385 was pushed to me via OTA. A number of posters still haven't received that update and they're none too happy about it. B360 came out at the end of December 2016 and B385 just came out a week into May which is an unacceptably long time to be running months out of date security.

B385 may have introduced battery life problems I wasn't experiencing, but which others have been on B360. I have only been using it a day or two though, so it's hard for me to say for sure as of yet as my phone has spent most of its time on my PC or next to my bed charging.

Hopefully, the people who are still on B360 get B385 soon, hopefully the worse battery on my phone is just my imagination, and we'll get a timely update next month, but those things are all yet to be seen. If Huawei gets the update out to other Honor 8 owners within the next week, gets the May security update out in early June, and starts keeping up to date, then I'll be happy with the phone, but that remains to be seen.

It is a great phone, but if you buy one you may be stuck using 5 month out of date software indefinitely, and even if you get B385 right away we don't know that the next update will be out in a month. It could be not until November or never to get the update after it. Combine that with that a new version of the phone will probably be announced and available in a couple months and I'd say to wait. We don't know if or when Android O is coming to the Honor 8. As much as I like this phone I can't recommend buying it at the current time.

We still aren't getting any communication from Huawei/Honor as to what to expect as far as future updates. And that's really troubling.

I would suggest waiting for this years release which I would expect to be out soon or looking at the One Plus 3T. One Plus is rumored to be coming out with the One Plus 5 sometime soon too, so right now is not really a great time to be buying a phone if you can wait.
