[Huawei Mate 9 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Monty Burns:
Guys,

i struggled with firmware finder route and failed miserably every time. I then looked at the HiSuite route and this was also a bit odd so, i examined what Funky do with replacing DNS entries and created the simple procedure below which has now worked THREE times, first time each try without fail:

1. Pay for/select the ROM you want on the Funky website

2. Install HiSuite

3. In your PC's network settings, change DNS to Primary 37.114.61.203 & Secondary 1.2.3.4

4. Be safe and start a CMD box, run "Ipconfig /release" and then "ipconfig /renew" finally probably unneeded but "ipconfig /flushdns"

5. **Restart browser** (important as it may have cached IP addresses)

6. Check with http://funkyhuaweidnscheck.com (if this loads, you're good to go! If not, check you've changed the correct network adapter and correct DNS IP addresses)

7. Connect phone via USB, install drivers, Run HiSuite and it will tell you there is a new version..... update!

I hope this helps but, please remember that I offer NO WARRANTY and you attempt this at your OWN RISK.

Good luck

*Currently running a C636 with B225.

*There should be no dependency on which version of Windows you use for the procedure, other than what is required by the HiSuite app itself. TCP/IP has been built in to Windows since Windows 95 iirc.
[Huawei Mate 9 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] white43:
Nice. I'll try this next time :)

Alternately - if you have a laptop with Wifi and Windows 10 - it is possible to turn it into a Wifi hotspot where you can modify the DNS to match Funkys.

https://www.howtogeek.com/214080/how-to-turn-your-windows-pc-into-a-wi-fi-hotspot/

I did the above and just amended the DNS. Then connected to this Wifi point in ERecovery. Supported method by FunkyHuawei!
[Huawei Mate 9 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Can confirm this works :)

HOWEVER. It doesn't appear to work on the LATEST version of HiSuite. I downloaded version from Huawei and it immediately asked to be updated. When I did that HiSuite constantly complained it couldn't connect to the internet to see update after changing the DNS settings. Uninstalled and installed version from Huawei again but didn't allow it to update. Then it worked straight away.

Now running B229 on C636 :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] PanNet:
Just simple question. Why I need to pay for update my mobile? I am on c636b182 and I can't update my mobile. Huawei let me know why?
[Huawei Mate 9 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] white43:
C636 is the Asian model. Are you in Asia? It looks like, if you're not, it won't update unless you're in that region. Someone did suggest putting a Hong Kong or Singapore SIM in it and it should update.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RealDogBoy:
My Nexus 6 is apparently locked without any OS installed. Is there any way to unlock it remotely? I can't get to the Developer Options page since it won't boot up.

I got into this mess by trying to flash a factory image (the July 2017 update for 7.1.1 n6f27H). I used Google's flash-all.sh script on my Linux desktop system to install it but it failed for unknown reasons that remain a mystery. :confused:

Then I did the fateful "fastboot oem lock" -- I don't know what I was thinking. :crying:

I can get to recovery mode on the N6 (which confirms that it's locked) and have tried most of the commands available but nothing helps. I can't get fastboot to do anything like flash image files since the bootloader is locked.

Is there a way out of this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMG1961:
Can you boot into bootloader and see if the phone is detected by fastboot devices? If so then see if flashing stock image works
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RealDogBoy:
The phone is detected by fastboot. But if I try to flash anything, the operation fails since the bootloader is locked.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "boot into bootloader", but if I select "restart bootloader" from recovery mode, the phone goes right back to recovery mode. I think that's because there's no OS loaded in recovery. :(

Thanks for responding.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Sideload a Google OTA image (not a factory image) through ADB to get Android back on the device. The OTA is signed by Google, thus it will install despite the bootloader being locked.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RealDogBoy:
That sounds like a good idea but I'm having trouble with ADB.

1) When I do "adb devices" I get:

No devices are listed, so apparently it can't see my N6. I checked to see if my $PATH is pointing to the location of a recently-downloaded copy of adb and I'm pretty sure that's correct.

2) When I do just "adb" I get:

But isn't the current version 1.4.x or something like that?

I think I'm on the right track. Thanks, Strephon.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMG1961:
when i do adb i get Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.32 Revision debian

Running Linux Lite 3.4
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Try "fastboot devices"
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgeridoohan:
That doesn't sound like the recovery, but the booloader. ADB doesn't work in the bootloader... Use your volume keys to browse to "Recovery" and then press the power button.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RealDogBoy:
I get this:

No idea what that means but at least fastboot is doing something.

Note: I think I have the latest versions of adb and fastboot running. I fixed a problem with my $PATH variable. Now when I do "adb" I get):

Isn't 1.0.39 the latest version?

But I still can't get adb to recognize the Nexus 6. When I do "adb devices", I get:

I think side-loading via adb is the best hope for fixing this but I still have to get adb working properly. Thanks again to that suggestion.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RealDogBoy:
When I do that (use the volume keys to browse to "recovery mode" and select that) I first get the black screen with "Google" in large letters, then I get a screen with a little android bot lying on his back with a red triangle over his chest and the following text below: "no command".

If I try "adb devices" while on the screen with the bot and the red triangle, I still don't see any devices listed. :(

Do you have any ideas about what could be the problem with adb?

Thank you for responding.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgeridoohan:
That's just as it should be. When you see the "dead" android, hold power and press volume up once. Now you should be in recovery and can sideload a full OTA. Instructions and downloads here: https://developers.google.com/android/ota
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RealDogBoy:
That did it! :cool:

Thank you so much.

[Lenovo K5 Note Questions & Answers] ranganitesh:
Hello XDA people, this lenovo Vibe K5 NOTE is a budget friendly phone so obliviously we don't have many experienced developers in our community, also we have tried out best to root this device but we failed.

As this mobile will not be updated to Android 7.0 by lenovo (currently on 6.0) so it becomes something like essential to root it for custom ROMs and for some other features.

So I request anybody here on forum who have capability to root it and may not own this device to help us in rooting this device.

Our current progress on rooting can be seen on last page of this thread

You can't; FireOS 5.4 can not be rooted at present. Also the wrong forum for Fire 10 questions. Please read before creating a new thread.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
If you want "full control" buy another device. Simple as that. Apple users have been facing this for years. Just because FireOS is based on Android does not entitle you to root or the ability to install a custom ROM.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ratzi:
Then amazon is better to program fire os.. then ok.. but not the terrible os now is..
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Sorry you don't like it. Serves Amazon's purposes well enough given the huge user base that continues to purchase their devices. I doubt there would be much of a financial return if Amazon invested in a make over. FireOS doesn't have to be 'best of breed' or even very good; only good enough to sell tablets and the products/services they link to.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ratzi:
I like the fire hd .. but finds a shame with every vendor not only Amazon, so little to deliver quality, hobby developers make it better, then you should at least give the possibility to choose the customer by yourself or match quality as by custom Rome .. we pay for it, customer is king, was times so thought ..

"Sorry my English not so Good, help with Transalator .."
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
"customer is king"

Actually, the customer's wallet is King. As long as they keep buying and using the device 'as-is' Amazon has no financial motivation to loosen the reins.

[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jman0:
Hi,

I know this has been discussed many times, but I have something more to share regarding this, and maybe it can help anyone find a solution.

My X820 arrived last Friday, bought from Geekbuying. It had Indian 19s ROM, although it might be slightly modified by the shop.

Fingerprint was working well, but I wanted a better and more optimized ROM, so I flashed TWRP and got Small EUI. The worst thing is that I forgot one important step (yes, backup) and flashed the ROM right away.

Fingerprint kept working, but got worse. On Indian 19s, it unlocked the screen or apps very quickly, but on Small EUI it took it 1 or 2 seconds, so on Sunday morning I tried the calibration option under settings. That's the moment the fingerprint scanner stopped working. I spent some time on Sunday, and most of Monday trying different ROMS, but nothing worked. The sensor would not react at all, and would not let me add fingers.

Yesterday, I found a thread, on a OnePlus 2 forum, where people described a similar issue on that phone, and the way they got the sensor to work again: they drained the battery down to 0%, to the point when the phone would shut down by itself. Then they charged the phone again, and the sensor came back to life.

I tried that (I'm now on Cuoco92's 93c ROM), and after turning the phone on again, the sensor seemed to keep failing, but there was a difference. Before that, it wouldn't react at all, but this time, a message instructed me to keep my finger on the sensor for a longer time and to try again. This message was not appearing before.

I left the phone alone for the night, as I use it as an alarm clock, and in the morning I tried again, and it worked. I was able to register fingers and the sensor began working as usual, and unlocked the screen almost instantly.

But now,. two hours later, it is dead again. I've noticed it doesn't unlock the screen. I've just tried to remove the fingers I had registered earlier and see if I can add them again, but it doesn't work. This time, there's no message that instructs me to keep my finger on the sensor for a longer time, or to try again.

Well, I definitely haven't solved the issue, but I may have found something. Maybe others with dead sensors can try this solution and report back.

To drain the battery, I used this app: Your Battery Drainer

P.S.: BTW, I decided to try draining the battery because I remembered that when first I got the phone, the battery was empty. I almost freaked out when I tried to turn it on for the first time, as it wouldn't turn on, but it turned out to be that the battery was empty. After I left the phone charging for a while, it turned on normally.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kkcheong:
I also just got my phone today 6gb RAM, 64gb UFS2.0.

Fingerprint very fast with 19s ROM.

I think I will stick with this ROM forever.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jman0:
You should, that was my mistake (I think) besides the LeEco software, and maybe fp hardware, not being too good. I just flashed the stock Indian 19s ROM again and the sensor is not working. I'm now downloading the Chinese 16s version, which others reported helped them revive their sensors. If the Chinese ROM doesn't work, I'll flash the Indian ROM again and try draining the battery in the evening, as I did yesterday.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kkcheong:
Good investigative work. I wish you good luck and will be reading this thread until you get it working.

I am quite happy to get this for USD186 for current x820 version even though without headphone.

How do you know 19s is modified by the shop?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kkcheong:
Actually I just got the phone. I will report back if it does in 7 days. Haha.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jman0:
I don't know, maybe not. Anyway, I'm on the Indian 19s again and the fingerprint sensor is not working. If I have the time, I'll try draining the battery again this evening, and will report back tomorrow
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kkcheong:
Will wait for your result . 19s is actually badly optimized. I got 99k in Antutu.

I try every method with roms with apps but fingerprint newer works.

today i read this thread, i try now to drain battery with this app and i cant believe fingerprint start work.

But how long fingerprint will work.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kkcheong:
Is there a possibility quick charge 3.0 heat kill the fingerprint sensor? Did you enable quick charge in the menu? Mine one still disabled and I am now worry to turn it on.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blubber120:
Just try to flash the CN Firmware S16 not the whole Rom :)
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jman0:
That might be it. Today my sensor is not working, after draining the battery, but last night, when I charged the phone again, I did it with the fast charger. When I have the time, I'll try again with a pc or just disabling fast charging. Maybe you have a point there. Nice one.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jman0:
You mean the modem files, don't you? That was also one of my next steps, but first I'll try draining the battery again and not using quick charge afterwards. When I first got the phone with an empty battery, fast charging was not enabled, so it took the phone ages to charge, but the fp sensor worked. I think we may be close to a solution for everyone, and something LeEco should know. Maybe they can implement an slower fast charge which doesn't interfere with the fp sensor.

Anyway, fp sensor was not my main reason for purchasing this phone, so it's not that high on my priority list.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jman0:
As another user suggested, disable fast charging, if you have it enabled, and see if fp sensor keeps working afterwards. It's good to know this method worked for you, too
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jman0:
Well, after flashing the Indian 19s ROM and draining the battery, nothing changed, but it could still have something to do with fast charging. Although I had it disabled, when I plugged the phone in, using LeEco's original charger, it charged the phone fast, rather than slow, so I think that maybe it didn't work because of that. I'll repeat the process again, this time using an old regular slow charger.

Did anyone else tried? Did you succeed?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kkcheong:
I scared that quick charge heat already kill the finger print. I mean hardware is dead.

But I still support support experiment to fix the fingerprint.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] joseki@rogers.com:
I think the FP problem has to do with HEAT. The FP failed to work when I was on holiday in Florida a few weeks ago. When I returned to the cool Toronto ,Canada, it is back to normal - works most of the time.

I have tried.. draining all battery from 25% to 0% and smartphone Switch off and after i charged almost 50% without fast charge and tourn on but unfortunatly fp still dont work
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] rickyx32:
Listen guys, I hate to burst your bubble, but I have to... For starters, there are MANY people in the forums flashing all sorts of ROMs and different things, and their fingerprint readers still work. I can say the same thing for Quick Charge 3.0, everybody uses it, so I highly doubt that either of these things are causing the hardware failure.

Also, remember that OnePlus uses Dash charge and all heat is relegated to the charger and not smartphone.

I own two X829's that I bought from Banggood for $196 each a few months ago, and the fingerprint readers still work after countless flashing and charging, and believe me the phone has gotten incredibly hot at times too.

Early on though, I thought that my fingerprint reader had died because it stopped working on when I moved to the Nougat ROMs and later I found out that I needed a more recent modem for the fingerprint reader to work (23S or 419D), but what I have done in a panic was contact Banggood and I told them that my fingerprint reader had died on both my phones. I told them that I had already troubleshooted and consulted the forums. I told them that it was a common defect. I made a YouTube video for them showing the problem. They told me that I could return it to them to China and that they would refund me, but I told them that it cost too much to ship to China and that the last time I returned something to them it got lost in the mail. They then said that I could take the phones to a local repair shop and that they would refund me the cost of the repair, they said that the most they could refund me was $116, so I made a fake invoice for $116 and send it to them because I had bought two fingerprint readers from AliExpress for $7 each and wanted to repair them myself.

In the end I never needed the fingerprint readers because I was wrong and sold them on eBay, and Banggood refunded me the $116 for the so called repair, so in the end I only paid $82 for my Le Max 2. Hope this helps!

You have to go to "About phone" in Settings, it's in the description under "Baseband version". The link below is to the collection of modems for the Le Max 2. The recommended ones are the Chinese 23S, and the Developer 419D.

[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Beackman:
The first thing i have done when i received mine X829 is, change the rom for the most up to date stock firmware

and the modem too.

And the first question i ask is, the modem are updated or not? because if you still flashing roms but not update the modem the FP never work the way is to be.

i have mine x829 for two months and flash a lot of roms and FP still working.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] godhek:
Hi all! I've been following this thread for the past couple of days and hoping to find solution for my dead fp. My unit is x829 model purchased from Gearbest and the fp stopped working after about 4 days of usage. So far, I've flashed Aurel's small EUI rom 15.1, but it didn't help.

So, last night I drained the battery which about 4% remaining to 0 and charged the phone with 3rd party universal charger with 2amp rating using 3rd party type c cable and with fast charging option switched to off. The rate of charging is about 1% for every 1.5 minutes.

Unfortunately, this method didn't help to revive my dead fp. Still no response at all after I switched on the phone again and tried to register a finger.

I checked my baseband version that installed with this rom as follows: MPSS.TH.2.0.c1.9-00024-M8996FAAAANAZM-1

My question is which version of modem is currently installed?

Another thing, I've installed TWRP in the recovery, so I can just flash the zip file if I want to change the modem version? I would really appreciate any help
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] NMir01:
The important part of your version is "00024" I guess, so if you check the link above, you can see that you have either Indian 16S or US 16S software.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jman0:
I'll drive one final test tonight. I've flashed Cuoco92's rom again (the one I had when my sensor revived for two hours) and I'll drain the battery one more time, leaving the phone untouched until tomorrow. If the sensor doesn't come back to life this time, I'll pass, until someone else gets it to work, or LeEco say something besides "use calibration". It's curious (I think) that my problems started just when I tried calibrating the sensor.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kkcheong:
It dies after you calibrate sensor?

---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

Are you going to try to flash all the modem?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jman0:
I've already tried chinese 16s and 26s, Indian 19s, and the development ones, and there was no change.

Regarding the calibration, the fingerprint scanner died just after using it. The sensor was working, but it would sometimes need 2 or more seconds to unlock the screen, so I decided to try calibration and see whether it could help improve performance. The fingerprint sensor hasn't worked ever since, except last tuesday, when it worked for two hours, just after draining my battery for the first time.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] razmth:
Where can I find a modem firmware to download?

When I bought my LM2, I've tested all main the features and then I've changed to Stock 23s. It's been a month since then and the FP was working just fine. Yesterday, after using GPS continuously for about an hour, the phone was hot. I mean, a lot. I guess that it was the main and probably only one reason for that. During the entire month that I've been using it, I haven't had time to play heavy games or anything that demands from the processor to heat it as yesterday, so that's my guess.

I'm still expecting that it will work again as some cases I've read about, just randomly.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kkcheong:
So we can say that heat kills fingerprint scanner?
