Hi. I set up an encryption in my phone, which asks for the password during booting the phone or booting into recovery. I don't have a problem with it, just want to change it.

Question: How do I change it? The button is grayed out.

Currently on Resurrection Remix 5.8.3

Here you can watch it yourself. After some time, all ROMs and stock didn't boot at all. I tried everything! Every little thing! Then I made a flashable zip using Huawei Update extractor (I know you are thinking: GOD! REALLY?!?!)and (sadly) flashed it. Now this happens. Please help!

Should I remove battery?

EDIT (18th of august): Huawei responded after a long time. They said they have a lot of people being dumb like me. They say you would need to change the mainboard, whicht would cost almost as much as the phone costs new. Sad, but thats life :(
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simply F:
Hi

Try booting long pressing volume up and power button and, if something happens, press factory reset.

PS: great job! ;)
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p8tgames:
Nope. As I said, tried everything without opening device.

Oh, after rage I dropped it, now No more blinking lights! And the backlight is on. Trying adb now

Yes, how would I install the compressed zip

Shutdown your phone and then connect it to PC but just press the vol- button.. that should log you in fastboot mode

does anyone know of a app that can send a text message from a 4 digit number?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rignfool:
Usually a 4 digit number is a speciality thing...

Like for a radio station... Or a broadcast from your cell provider... Or an emergency thing...

I know it's also possible to spoof your number in a text message... Though I don't know how...

Maybe if you explained better your goal... I could help
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] error28:
For what country?

These are SMS short codes, and they cost a lot of money to lease. It's usually thousands of euros to start, and then some amount of cents per message. The service provider you use will determine how you actually send messages with it. Usually it's through an API that you will have your own developers build something for you, if you're a business. If you're just a starving college student you probably aren't going to get one of these at all.

"The Nexus 6P (like many newer phones) has a dual LED flash. One LED is a warm white, while the other is cool white. When taking a photo, the two lights are mixed to create a color balance the camera deems appropriate to the scene. When using the flashlight it just turns them both on at a fixed brightness, resulting in a warm-ish colored light."

[Huawei Y6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GokulNC:
Note:

This is not bootanimation, this is the splash screen (the 'Huwaei' boot logo which is displayed when device is switched ON)

This is for Huawei Y6 Only..

(For other devices, please send me your splash.img so that I can create a tool for you too.)

NOTE: I think this tool is no longer working for latest firmwares.

Please check this new tool: [GUIDE] Changing boot splash image on the Huawei Y6

Requirements:

1. Rooted Huawei Y6 (any ROM)

2. Optional: Terminal Emulator app or Custom Recovery or atleast working fastboot in computer

3. You're proceeding at your own risk.

STEPS to create logo.img:

Before proceeding, make sure fastboot is setup properly in your computer (just incase something goes wrong)..

1. Download & Extract this in computer: Huawei_Y6_Logo_Maker.zip

2. Make sure you have a 720x1280 resolution picture.

3. Now rename your picture as logo.png or logo.jpg (according to its format) & replace it inside "pics" folder of the extracted folder.

4. Finally, run the 'Create_Logo.bat' to create logo.img , which you can find inside the "output" folder.

STEPS to flash logo.img:

Optional: To backup your original logo.img:

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/logo of=/sdcard/logo.img

(Not necessary though.. You may get it from the stock firmware itself.)

Now, Choose any one easy method:

a. To flash from recovery:

Transfer the flashable_logo.zip to your device and flash from TWRP or CWM or Philz or any other custom recovery.

b. To flash from Terminal Emulator:

Transfer the logo.img to your device's Internal Storage, Open Terminal Emulator & enter the following to flash it:

su
dd if=/sdcard/logo.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/logo

c. To flash from Fastboot mode:

fastboot flash logo logo.img

Note:

Incase something goes wrong or device doesn't bootup, flash the stock logo.img from custom recovery or fastboot.

Hit the Thanks :good: button if it worked for you :)

You're welcome to post the bootlogos that you created..

Thanks to [MENTION=8135713]adam_s_459_[/MENTION] who provided the stock logo.img of his Huawei Y6 (SCL-L04)
[Huawei Y6 Guides, News, & Discussion] adam_s_459_:
Thank you so much for making this tool. I have been wanting to change that screen for so long as it is very ugly ?. :svetius:
[Huawei Y6 Guides, News, & Discussion] adam_s_459_:
So I followed all of the steps and it made the logo.img but when I Flash it it just doesn't do anything. Just the same old Huawei logo ?
[Huawei Y6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GokulNC:
Try method b) or c) to install logo.img..

I guess flashing from recovery doesn't work because the path to logo (partition) in the updater-script is wrong..

Or please tell where the "logo" block file is present in the /dev/block/ directory so that I'll edit that in the tool
[Huawei Y6 Guides, News, & Discussion] adam_s_459_:
I cannot find the logo file in that directory. I tried flashing from terminal and it didn't work. And I get an"external command not allowed" error in fastboot
[Huawei Y6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GokulNC:
How did you extract the logo.img from your device then?

If you extracted it from stock firmware, please find out how it's flashed into device..

(If it's a flashable zip, send the updater-script.

If it's a fastboot flashable firmware, send me .bat files if there's any)

It means you have not setup the fastboot tool properly..

Search and follow the instructions to properly set it up :)
[Huawei Y6 Guides, News, & Discussion] adam_s_459_:
So for some reason I couldn't upload just the updater script but this is the flashable file with it in it. I extracted the logo.img from stock firmware. I don't really know how to find out how is flashed on the device sorry. I don't know where I would find any .Bat files because I am fairly new to this type of thing. I hope this helps. Thanks.

Try flashing it to the misc partition.. (Back it up before you do)

Because I don't own an Huawei Y6 device

Did you add a modified stock kernel or anything like that to this?
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gnino:
Not sure what boot loader I have. Pretty sure it isn't nougat though. Think it'll brick my device? MM Rom and kernel from u and twrp installed.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] puzzimassa:
I already tried flashing this on my marshmallow k550 and it bricked and kept looping when it booted up, you will need to update to nougat so you can also get the nougat bootloader and such. I am using it on my nougat k550 and it's working great ? just wished i backed up my data as i accidentally deleted everything ?
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pvsgh:
Yes, dm-verity patch is applied to stock kernel, otherwise if you install the stock kernel and reboot the device by mistake, device will be encrypted.

Nougat bootloader is required, it is mentioned in the Requirements for the ROM.

Yes, Nougat bootloader is required. Also ROM will not delete/wipe anything on internal sdcard.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] puzzimassa:
I'm having problems with google play services, it won't update from 10 to 11 and so google assistant isn't working, any advice or help?
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pvsgh:
So you don't get option to update the google services? usually you should get a message like " this application won't run unless you update play services" then only you can see and update play services in play store.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mrnonamenobody:
So I had downloaded and installed the debloated marshmallow version and it's working great. And of course has the marshmallow bootloader so if I wanted to update from where I am to the debloated nougat version with the nougat bootloader how would I go about this?
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] puzzimassa:

Any chance for metroPCS users

Any chance for metroPCS users?

I like this phone but the rooted/debloated version would a significant upgrade.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kdayyy:
It works, but somehow the whole firmware is turned into TMobile. Everything is working including rils & data, but, if you ever wanted to flash a kdz file, you would have to use TMobile's kdz and not MetroPCS, because it will not detect using LG Bridge or LG UP.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] pvsgh:
I think if you wipe the system/boot using TWRP before trying the Metro KDZ file it should work.
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] br0adband:
I'm about to get an MS550 today for a good price, I just want to confirm this if you can (given the time, it could take you days to respond to this question) that this will work on the MS550 but once it's flashed then basically the MS550 does become a K550 and there's no turning back, right? I have no issue with this myself because I'm a T-Mobile user, never bothered with MetroPCS but the price for the MS550 I'm getting (just $40 and it's unlocked already plus original box, all accessories, and two fairly nice cases too) I don't want to miss this deal so I'm getting it regardless. :D

I look forward to your answer whenever you get the chance...

Hey, [MENTION=4342818]pvsgh[/MENTION] how do you upgrade your boot loader? because nougat is 7.0.1 and my phone is 6.0.1, i also have TWRP.

Edit: i updated my phone to Nougat 7.0 using the pc program LG Bridge!
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kdayyy:
Works Well

Make sure you're on 7.0 bootloader. Do a nandroid of ms550 rom, just in case you want to go back for whatever reason. Also download both variant of kdz file for future reference. Do a full wipe, flash pvsgh ROM in TWRP and enjoy your prerooted stock debloated ROM.

I'm honestly not bothered being on k550 firmware as long as everything is working. Like pvgsh said, you can do a whole system wipe and flash ms550 kdz and it should bring it back but, haven't tried
[LG Stylo 2 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] br0adband:
Thanks for that info, kdayyy. The MS550 has 6.01 on it as somewhat expected, hasn't been updated in some time (still on the January 1 2017 security patches) and of course it's trying to update so I'll be doing research tonight before really figuring out what I want to do with it.

As I do like using Xposed (for just one plugin, the Physical Button Music Control so I can change music tracks/etc with the volume buttons) it seems that there's no working Xposed for Android 7 yet so I may just stay with 6.x for the time being and see what happens. Like I said, a lot of research to do tonight and tomorrow before deciding on what I want to do with it. Would love to get the bootloader unlocked proper and just get Lineage on it but that doesn't seem possible for the present time, unfortunately.

Ah, yet another device to start on, I told myself I'd stop doing this and here I go again for the 387th time it seems. :D
