[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chewyboy0:
Hi! I have a Idol 3 (6045I variant) and everytime I try to restore to stock using Mobile Upgrade Q it gets to the part where it says "Searching the server for latest available software" then the phone turns on normally and it says "Download update software package failed. Please check your internet connection." and it does this on two computers that I have tried with two different upgrade Q versions. Could someone please help me identify the problem?

It seems Alcatel abandoned our device.

It seems Alcatel abandoned our device.

Ha, ha...

Look the reason you are getting the message is because you restored your phone once on IP 240.4.4.xx.x.xx.xx. If you use another IP address you would not get that message. So, use a vpn or change you IP or use someone else's internet connection. It has happened to me more then once and was very frustrating as until I figured it out. Go to google and type in "What is my IP address" and start their.

HEY OFF TOPIC but can you believe that XPOSED is finally released for Nougat!!!!
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chewyboy0:
This doesn't seem to be the case because even after using a different internet connections and a vpn it still throws out an error message and after updating to a newer version of upgrade q it says "There is no greater version available to upgrade your phone" which doesn't make any sense.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vq8acsxht:
Good, it says "There is no greater version available to upgrade your phone" now do a factory reset of the phone. If you did not destory the recovery partition you should be good to go.

Use this program here ...

https://mega.nz/#!9UdDGJLI!9S87X0wH0OEc3nKSd7dZHCES7RpDW8iWpPnPSqCPLzs (I'm trying to think of how this goes by memory so bare with me)

make sure you have the drivers installed. extract the file and the password is in the txt file. I can't remember the exact steps, but I think it will do some type of update or you go to "get version" if you don't see 6045 in the device list. once it's there you can go to the grey box besides get version that says update or download or something. my brain heh I can't remember, but then you click that and it will bring you back to stock. I did it on my 6045O flawlessly. It brought me right into the latest update. also if you go into the program files and go to the Sugar software folder after it's downloading the latest firmware for your phone and you go to the bin folder you should see a downloaded folder with your model number plus some other numbers and letters. copy that to your desktop. once that's done find the file starting with "R" that is the recovery image. delete that and replace it with twrp recovery image and just name it recovery. go back into the main Sugar folder in the program files and replace the folder with your model number with that folder. you also see a folder named download. that is the downloaded firmware you can delete that folder and just leave the modded folder with your model number containing the twrp recovery image. meanwhile, go through the setup process on your phone and skip all the steps you can and go into the phone. go to the about device and tap on the build number to unlock the developer options. make sure the OEM bootloader unlock is toggled and I just changed the usb debugging also although I don't think that's necessary. go back into the Sugar program and then go to just the update or whatever it is beside the get version and click that and it will update the phone with the latest firmware and it will put the custom recovery on it. make sure once it's done downloading you unplug it and turn it off then go into recovery mode by holding the power down and volume up until the main logo comes up then let go of power and keep holding volume up until twrp boots up. make sure you already have the latest SuperSU zip on your sdcard. go to the terminal or sometimes one comes up from the beginning and enter the systemless supersu line/code or whatever you call it and then hit enter or if it will go straight into twrp first do a factory reset in the advanced wipe tab then the systemless supersu terminal line code and then install the supersu zip. that's it. your back to the latest firmware and rooted. oh and btw, I forgot if you have to be in download mode when you are using the Sugar program. I play around in several phones so forgot at the moment. If you need to go into download mode just plug in the usb as your holding power, volume up and down at the same time and then when it goes into the download mode screen hold volume up for 5-10 seconds until the screen goes black. I hope it helps and sorry if any of this is confusing. It can be a bit advanced for some.

Mobile Q doesnt work here too.

With or Without VPN cant download the update package :/
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vq8acsxht:
Press and hold the Volume up button, then briefly press the Power button. Keep pressing the Volume up button. Scroll to the desired language using the Volume down button, then press the Power button. Scroll to wipe data/factory reset by pressing the Volume down button.

Then try to do an update OTA.

If you are running stock and have for the last 6 months or so, their are not any new updates???

Just curious why you would think their is an update??

Also, "There is no greater version available to upgrade your phone" chewyboy0 admitted that Mobile Q software does work because Mobile Q software had to go out to the Alcatel servers to check which version he had.

Finally, Also, you gave no reference of whether you are running stock ROM, Rooted?? TWRP?? or for that matter whether you Samsung Galaxy phone can be plugged into the Mobile Q software. In other words, your coming up a little short on details.

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Siraj Enriq:
I am from india, using 6045k, lost duel sim support duo to flashing of marionette's Rom. Still trying to get duel sim back, tried eluga firmware also, but unfortunately i didn't get any error at 45%. Now i am using flyos 2.0, its working like charm. But only one sim is there, i tried several software upgrader versions, but server is not connecting, its always stuck at 20%.

Pls help me.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciclolars:
Currently Alcatel has disabled the posibility of reflashing a stock ROM with Mobile Upgrade Q, so the only way is by flashing via TWRP or Sahara tool.

I have a 6045Y in latest stock MM (Build 22) and i'm incapable of performing a flash with Mobile Upgrade Q in order to clean my modified /system, the worst thing is that there is no flashable zip of this version which contain many critical fixes. I'm too very annoyed with this change of policy of Alcatel/TCL, they want me to buy a new smatphone but I'll not give them that pleasure, the Idol 3 5.5 is the best smartphone i've ever had in terms of hardware, it's a shame...

Actually, yesterday only i heard about q.5.1.8, its been a year that i was trying to do this. Appart from q5.1.8, i connected VPN to U. S. Now everything is fine.

I dont know which one helped me, that the q5.1.8 or the VPN. :laugh:

Thanks to all.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciclolars:
How exactly did you managed to do it? Is it possible to reflash the stock ROM?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Siraj Enriq:
Actually, software upgrader can do the job. But the problem was slow server speed. Use q. 5.1.8, simply connect your in switch off condition, and try upgrading, if its not working, try VPN. I tried psyphon VPN connected to USA. In india serveris very slow.

6045k still running on lilopop, thats why people go going for stock roms.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciclolars:
In my case, Mobile Upgrade Q display a message that says I'm currently in the latest software version so it doesn't allow me to reflash stock ROM. My device is a 6045Y build 22 MM.

Hi guys

I know the creator of Newflasher has been removed, and so has his tutorial and useful information in the crossdevice section....

But does anyone have a good tutorial and also a confirmed working version of newflasher so that I can flash my XZP to a generic Australian version?

Really much appreciated!

Cheers

Hi!

I just flashed my XZP, read here :)

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] cheetah2k:
Thanks for your help guys. Flashing mine went smooth and easy :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Lorehaze:
did u exclude all .ta files??
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] cheetah2k:
Yes

Do not use any of the *.ta files. Only copy the *sin files across (except for the userdata - but this made no difference anyways as my userdata was corrupt after the flash).

My aim was to change from Vodafone Australia, to Australian Generic (sony shop) firmware so that I would get all the latest updates quick, instead of waiting for carrier updates (which take ages).

I did not change countries.

So I used newflasher to do all the *.sin files from the Australian Generic firmware to the phone. After the first boot post flashing, I got the "your password is correct, but your user data is corrupt - Reset Phone" warning. I let it reset the phone, then before doing anything else, I powered it off and went to Sony Companion and then did a software recovery (full wipe and full 1.5gb flash) so that if there was anything I missed in the flashing, it would be picked up in the official Sony Companion flash.

Worked a charm. I used to do the a similar method with flashtool on the older Sony phones, especially where some user compiled FTF files had others userdata on them.

Cheers
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] laes443:
Thanks for that dude, going to try that tonight to unbrand my Telstra XZP. Just a question though - Where you said to not use any of the *.ta files, and ONLY the *.sin files across - You mentioned you used all of the *.sin except userdata, but if I were to copy the userdata file over as well, would that matter or do anything bad?

Edit: Also - There's a *.ta file in the boot folder for the FW, do I exclude this also?

Guessing that excluding the *.ta files will ensure the TA partition will be left intact to not affect DRM, etc.

Thanks man.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] laes443:
Hey I just followed your instructions, excluded all TA files including the one in the BOOT folde r- Worked perfectly as you said, just restored in Xperia Companion! Thanks mate!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] cheetah2k:
Good news! enjoy :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] sToRm//:
I'm currently developing a tool for XZP. I will integrate a working flasher and some other tools. What is still missing for me at the moment, is a working hack for the DRM. I've been biting my teeth for days. I am currently trying to understand the process better. I just look at the respective files in IDA and my head smokes. If someone finds a usable approach, let me know. I would integrate the whole thing into the tool.

What I can safely say is that previous versions of the DRM fix do not run, but still have an effect. Without DRM fix the Google camera runs almost without problems and the system camera makes green pictures. With the DRM fix the Google Camera makes green pictures. So the approach does not have to be wrong.

You will make many people happy with your tool considering we desperately need a safe and reliable one!

I'm sure most would love to ditch NewFlasher as it's... not very safe considering who it comes from.

It would be amazing if you could release it asap when you feel it's stable.

Hey guys, I'm in search of a good USB Type C battery pack for charging my Pixel on the go. I want something between 10,000 and 20,000 mAh, and I'd prefer if it had the usb-pd standard. Anyone know of any good ones to recommend? Thanks!

If with "standard" you mean the input port micro-usb and output port USB, I can tell you the Aukey Powerbank works really well, I have it and charges pixel very fast.
[Google Pixel Accessories] wanfeilwong:
I'm using the Anker PowerCore+ 26800 PD. It may be bigger than you were looking for but it'll keep your phone charged for a while and charge at full speed. It also comes with a usb-c PD charger to charge the battery or your phone.
[Google Pixel Accessories] vansmack:
I looked at both the Anker and the RAVPower for USB-C to USB-C charging and the added bonus of PD, but found them to be both too bulky and too expensive to justify the purchase. Something smaller (in the 10000mah range) at about $30 would have been perfect, but it does not yet exist.

So I opted for the Eighty Plus 10000mAh Quick Charge 3.0 Universal Portable Charger, which does USB-C to USB-C charging in much more portable package at around $30, but does not support PD. It says it's "Charging Rapidly" when using c to c and is faster than most A to C connections, but it is not as fast as a wall charger or other PD battery packs.
[Google Pixel Accessories] daewond3r:
I picked up this RAVPower charger on Prime day and I'm satisfied. It is quite large though.
[Google Pixel Accessories] benhaube1:
Thanks for the replies! I guess the smaller batteries with USB-PD don't exist yet. I'll take a look at the ones that have been suggested.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghnogueira:
Hi guys!

I desperately need some help from you experts. I have recently noticed my LG G3 has been draining more battery than it should, especially when idle (or at least, theoretically when idle).

Please take a look at the sequence of screenshots (have in mind the analysis was made overnight, when the phone was sitting idle on my bedside):

Screenshot 1: You can see app usage has been the biggest juice thief, and an abnormal drain (24%) for a (supposedly) idle period of 6 hours.

Screenshot 2: Kernel & Android system are the biggest villains, but only sums up to 45%.

Screenshot 3: Taking a deeper look at Kernel, it shows only 7 minutes of CPU usage.

Screenshot 4: A deeper look at Android system also shows a small usage, only a few seconds shy of 6 minutes.

Screenshot 5: On the chart, we can see there was an absurd drain (around 20%) from 1:30 am to 5 am, and then it got stabilized. Wifi was on the whole time, and you can see it shows the phone was (theoretically) dozed 95% of the time.

Sctreenshot 6: Even though the phone was dozed, we can clearly see it has severe CPU usage throughout the whole night, and no pattern could be distinguished between the hours were the battery got the severe drain and the hours after. Even though the CPU frequency was low between 1:30 and 5 (except for a couple of peaks), the utilization averaged 45%.

This is why I need some expert's help. I cannot understand what is draining my battery, what is keeping my phone's CPU util so high... can someone please shed a light on this for me?

Thanks in advance!!! :fingers-crossed: :good: :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghnogueira:
Hello there guys. Anyone could please take a look at this and try and help me out?

Thanks!!!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysLucky:
Well, it's hard to answer simply such a complicated problem. There are so many variables to consider, but I would say rule out a few things first.

First, if you have TWRP installed, backup your current ROM and do a complete factory reset. If the problem persists, then you know it's something built into your ROM causing it and I would suggest swapping out that ROM for another. If the problem is gone, you know it's something you installed or modified in the ROM and you can start to narrow that down.

Second, I would try out the app WakeBlock. It's still in development, but it allows you to see active wakelocks (Android programming object used to keep the CPU running even if dozed) and block them if you want to. But the app may be useful for just tracking down battery hogs that are activated at 2am in the morning :p

Hope that helps! Good luck! :cowboy: :fingers-crossed:
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghnogueira:
Hi there. Thanks for trying to help!

I don't have TWRP, as I use stock ROM (phone has MobileIron installed for work use, so I can't have it rooted).

I already have wakelock detector installed on the phone, but I don't how many wakelocks during a night should be considered as OK or not...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysLucky:
True, you would need root to flash TWRP to allow backups/restores. However once TWRP is flashed, you could just install a ROM that does not have root and do not root it. That should pass all of MobileIrons checks which are mostly package name-based. In short, root is not required to keep TWRP installed. Something to consider.

Well, in reality you don't need any wakelocks active. Especially if you are asleep or not going to use the device for a while. Wakelocks can be doing anything from downloading advertisements for apps, to syncing emails with servers. You could block them all in a certain time frame, but that may be overkill. I suggest just going through the list of wakelock package names before you goto bed or when you know drain is at it's heaviest. The package name may be different from the name of the app, but it should give you something to go on. Just uninstall the heavy drainers or disable them enough so they can not drain you so much.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdk0117:
I'm in pretty much the same boat. I lose like 14-20% overnight and I have no clue why. Factory reset and it still seems to be that bad. I also use GSam and have almost exactly the same stats in terms of Android System and Kernel usage, so that means it shouldn't be an app thing (unless you and I have the same apps installed lol). I'm really at a loss as to why there is so much crazy drain.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghnogueira:
I understand I do not need, but I meant how many wouldn't be "harmful". But I'll keep an eye in a night where this thing happens and get back to you.
