So, You can't enter fastboot mode am i right ?

Do you connect usb cable to your devices before press Vol- and Power button ?
[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] WackyJoker:
Current Situation

After the battery was dead, i actually can enter the fastboot and i used TWRP 3.1.1 for huawei P10 Plus from github. double wiped my device and by far i have entered the system normally.

However, the ROM wasn't official and i lost my warranty for unlock my huawei phone. And the custom service from Huawei said that they don't provide any official ROM Since it's Android 7.0 .

This ROM is really crappy that i can't delete/uninstall any Application i installed.(It gets reboot everytime i try to and the Application is still there even i just tried to Delete/Uninstall).

Worst of all, some options does not work properly in "Option" menu . (For example i can't access to "Developer mode" that everytime i press it it tabbed back to the former menu.)

I really hate this crappy menu so i tried to search on the internet for P10 Plus ROM so far i get B133 update ROM i can find and i tried to install it from SDcard by pressing VOL - and VOL + and Power buttom.

It says failed to update system at 5% while updating/recoverying the system.

and the ROM which i'm using was found in HUAWEI's official fan forum from Club.Huawei.com a forum belongs in china.(Rooted rom B140).

Right now seems the only option for me is to find a better ROM than this .(At least won't get me so many bugs like this one .:crying: )

and Thanks for your comment "Bigbearxl" it worked as normally it should after the battery was dead then i recharged it.

Yet Right now the PC doesn't recognize the device though Via-Usb because it's not Huawei official ROM and Hisuite helper only recognize their own ROM and the rest Phone helper or ADB can't recognize the device while The Phone is Booting normal .

And Reply to "Craphead" Yoroot is a special Root tool for Huawei P10/P10 plus made by chinese from Huawei Fan Club forum.

I debranded my phone from L09 to L29 DualSim with this guide. It work with moded stock recoverys.
[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] WackyJoker:
well i tried your method but there were some file that can't be downloaded from that post so i used another and,eventhough with complete files, the method i posted and i was going to use it tonight. Failed.

did all the steps from update.bat indicated and all worked fine till the last step that it says " automaticly install system" and the phone shows error at recovery.(similar to dload method because it automaticly create dload and exact those ROM files)

it indicates a big red " ! " sign and stopped. basicly i'm back to "No System Status"

The only method wowrks for my "P10 Plus" is " flash system system.img " method.

yet i don't know how to exact system.img boot.img recovery.img etc from those stock firmware like those chinese.

i have some of their rewrote roms (it's crappy because i has no default camera and it's for chinese P10 Plus A.K.A VKY_L29) .

Yet i can't find any System.img on google by far.
[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] WackyJoker:
I haven't tried your Firmware Finder method , i think i can install crappy system.img then try your Firmware Finder method.

Because right now i wiped my system and i'm without system :crying:

well just tried your method and at last step it says installing failed. then i reboot entered rec mode choose wipe/factory reset

wiped till 50% and stopped, it can't factory reset.

Before this method fastboot mode was " Phone unlock " " Bootloader unlock."

Now it's just "Phone unlock"

it shows a big "!" sign at the last step . i did everything it tells and tried both sdcard&script way to flash twice both rebrand&same brand update.

after the failure i can't enter "Vol +" and "Vol -" and "Power button" to do dload method . When i try to do that it just goes in Recovery mode.

In recovery mode i tried to wipe data/factory reset. It stopps at 50% which is after wipe and starting to factory reset at 50% it failed.

I believe i did everything correctly as instruction told. Yet at last step it comes big red "!" sign with "Software install failed" with little words "The update package does not exist. Please download the package again."

I did it 4 times with sd card same brand and pc, with sd card rebrand and pc.

then i rebooted phone and get in to recovery, trying to do "wipe data/factory reset" and at 49% it stopped and says "Update installing failed" .

Now i can't even flash system.img to get in that crappy rom that i talked about. :crying::crying:

OMG it worked !!!!

I am so stupid that i forgot to change the file name of hw_eu_full_update.zip to hw_eu_update.zip as instruction told.

I only changed the update_full_date_public but i forgot to change the previous one.

Now i'm in the official system.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] lcerura:
Hi, I've got this one Note 4 that's had loads of trouble presumably since the last security update.

Baseband Version: N910AUCS2EQD1

Android: 6.0.1

Have seen the instructions and all as to how to go about downgrading BUT one site I came across with the original stock firmware downloads outright state how:

""DO not ever try to downgrade from any newest Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow updates back to an older 6.0.1 build version""

'and so I'm lost. Should trying to then reinstall the same Baseband version atop what's already there a good first alternative? ...that is, just in case it was never upgraded properly in the first place? Or is that not even possible?

Is trying to downgrade at all a futile pursuit?

Would truly appreciate any suggestions, help, direction...heck, anything! Thanks in advance.

:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] will5:
I downgraded from 6.0.1 epk5 to 5.1.1 with no problem.

Can i downgrade note 4 n910a from marshmallow to lollilop,please help me i am in great trouble because marsmallow update is very bad with a lot of reboot issue ,battery drain.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] braindead444:
Once you are on QD1 you will not be able to go back to anything lower than that firmware. The bootloader is now at the latest version and has blown one of those imaginary "e-fuses" so that you can not go back in time to any other vulnerable OS. I just tried today to go from EQD1 to EPK5 and It would not flash and would fail every time whilst using the latest Odin. So good luck on finding anything on getting you back to another firmware version but at this time I do not believe there is anything that will move you back to the firmware you want. If you do happen to find something or make your own exploit do tell ;) [MENTION=8295028]sanaullahkhan371[/MENTION] If you are on QD1 you are not going to be able to downgrade if you are on PK5 you can try the Odin downgrade method that will5 presumably used but if you are not in this firmware use case you are SOL.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] roxster:
Hi,

Can you please let me know how did you downgrade? Is it straight away flash to 5.1.1 or did you follow any steps?

I am also planning to downgrade. Anyways, I stopped using Note 4 after update to 6.0.1 as it was switching off every now and then due to update. Might as well make this phone usable to take photos and as a video player for my kid :)

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] will5:
I just odin to this firmware N910AUCU2DOI2-5.1.1 It s available somewhere on this forum.

Read how to odin if you never used it. In this case you need to unzip the file and load AP, BL, CP and CSC files on odin and flash.

Was running 6.0.1 epk5 previously.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] roxster:
Thanks a lot buddy! :good:

My note 4 was also running on 6.0.1 EPK5. Found the 5.1.1 firmware and followed your instructions to downgrade. My phone came back to life and is usable now.:victory:

No more switching off abruptly! I wont update anymore since all the apps which I use are working fine with current version of Android.

Were you ever able to flash back to an older version from QD1? Others have said that the bootloader was not incremented in QD1.

Were you able to downgrade from EQD1 to 5.1.1? I am on EQH1 and I am not able to downgrade

I'm also on EQH1. I have never tried to downgrade. I was just curious if it was possible, in case a root method was discovered that only worked on older versions. But I've just learned to live without root. EQH1 works fine for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] dictum9:
I had the infamous freeze/reboot/shutdown issue with 6.0.1 and I wasn't sure if that was the issue but I downgraded to 5.1 and have fewer issues now. The phone runs just fine, except it does not reboot. You have to do a soft reset every time. But with the Wakelock app, at least it runs.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] lvrma:
Hey!

It's my first post here so it this isn't the best place for such a question then by all means mods pls move the thread to where it should be :p

Basically, where I'm currently living (Brazil), things tend to get pretty violent and phone thefts are very common. Now the thing is, if it's an iPhone usually the thieves just throw it away, as once it's locked it becomes useless. When it comes to Android though, some of them will dig deep trying to access your info like pictures, passwords, bank information, among other things. They even manage to break IMEI locks and stuff. I got my S5 stolen recently and the information theft part put me through hell. Yet, I'd much rather have an S8+ then any other iPhone currently, so my question is how could I completely theft proof it?

I'm not really worried about them restoring the phone and reselling it, more about them accessing the data inside of it. I know the SD card can be protected through cryptography (although would accept "stronger" tips if there are any). When it comes to apps, aside from the basics of trusting what you install and stuff, are apps like Cerberus, Knox 2.0, or other Samsung features I'm not aware of, any good against someone who knows what they're doing? Is there a way to disable airplane mode or power offs? Also what is probably my strongest concern: is there a way to completely not allow system changes through a computer, like the one that removes the lock screen?

Being a programmer and computer science undergrad student (although not specializing in security nor mobile), I'd have no problem if the solutions would involve some coding or tweaking, just as long as they prove to be effective.

So, would you guys have any tips on how to completely secure the data given those concerns?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xile6:
The sd card can be Encrypted and if you have a password lock (fingerprint irsi etc...) then it will ask for that before it will unlock the phone.

Also they have a remote wipe. You can log i to google and remote wipe your phone when you found out its been stolen.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
You can set the phone to require a password to decrypt it when it's restarted. You can encrypt the SD card too. You can set it to lock instantly when the screen turns off. And you can use only a password to unlock it (no biometrics), which is the most secure option (if you use a suitable password). Finally, you can set the phone so that you can wipe it remotely, or to wipe itself after a number of consecutive incorrect password attempts. But even without the last two measures, your data will be unreadable without your password.

Unfortunately, though, if thieves are violent enough, they may be able to coerce you into divulging the password. If they succeed, they have full access to your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] lvrma:
What about stuff like that Dr. Fone Toolkit that supposedly removes the lock screen? From the quick look I took it seems it somehow patches the Android on the phone to remove the lock screen. Is there some sort of system encryption/lock to avoid that kind of stuff when connected to a computer?

Usually they just put it on airplane mode though, so google remote wipe is useless... Which is why I was looking for more of an offline fix through cryptography and such

If you have the phone encrypted and have the require pin on boot set. And you have the Qualcomm version that is locked down you have nothing to worry about.

Even the iPhone 7 has been jail broken or rooted the S8 with the Qualcomm chip is one of only a few phones that have not been hacked. It's actually WAY more secure than an iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
The phone is completely encrypted, so if you set it to require a password to restart and to turn the screen back on, then its contents are unreadable without the password regardless of how you connect to it.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] BratPAQ:
Like you, I'm interested with this topic, but unlike you, I would like the theief to have a useless phone if they cant unlock it. So that they would think twice the next time they want to steal an android. Else they would just continue stealing since you just put the phone on download mode, connect to a computer and root it.

About your question. Isnt disabling usb debugging mode on developer option block that risk? Also in my note 4, enabling knox will prevent your device from being rooted, at least thats what i understand from the description. i wonder where it is in s8.

speaking of knox, s8 has "Secure folder". its like a secured environment within a phone. Everything you put in here will be protected by knox. Apps, accounts, files, etc. And it would ask for another security to access it(pattern/pin/password).

you mentioned cerberus app, it has a function than can wipe device memory and wipe sd card via SMS command. so if you are fast enough, while the thief is running away and before he pulls out your sim card from the phone, you can send an sms command to wipe data.

Since you mentioned you are a programmer, this may be interesting to you, locking download mode and recovery mode on android to prevent thief from flashing hack to your phone. but this require a bit of patience if android isnt your forte.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
How is that easier than just selecting the Settings options to encrypt the SD card and to require a password to unlock upon restart?

---------- Post added at 06:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 AM ----------

Yes, and even without airplane mode, they can physically enclose the phone to block all electronic signals. Encrypting the phone (and SD card), using a secure password as the sole unlock method, affords the strongest protection against all attacks (except coercing the password from you).
