Hi,

I used a slightly adapted version of this list.

Phone was always working fine without any issues at all.

Now, I received the Oreo update this morning which ended up with an infinite boot loop - not sure if its due to the uninstalled packages though.

Does anybody have the same issue or any suggestions before I try to wipe data/factory reset?

Thank you,

Patrick

Don't tell me wife, but when I did this I omitted the "-k" and actually deleted a few apps. Last night she asked me if she could try the Samsung Messages app instead of Textra. Of course, that was one of the ones I had deleted. Thankfully, the app was in the Galaxy App store and I was able to install it from there. So if you make the same dumb choice that I made, you can restore some of the apps via the Galaxy App store.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] slicetwo:
Ok. So I've figured out how to reinstall things without having to do a factory reset. It's kind of a pain in the ass but it works.

1. Pull the APK from your phone. For example, for Bixby Global Action, in command, type ADB Pull /system/priv-app/BixbyGlobalAction/BixbyGlobalAction.apk

2. In command, type adb install -l -r BixbyGlobalAction.APK. This bypasses the security stuff and basically re-enables the app.

3. I restarted my phone, cleared the Bixby Voice data and cache, and now I have Bixby back and enabled.

I feel like this should work for any system app.

You can get the apk from apk mirror. Not all of them will install as Samsung will only let you install up to a certain version. It's trial and error.

Did anyone ever come up w/ an exhaustive list that shows something like the Samsung nomenclature for the app & then a layman/noob/Google Play term for the app? I plowed thru the 18 pages & didn't see it. Something like a list w/ Column A, Column B entries like:

com.samsung.android.widgetapp.yahooedge.finance = Yahoo Finance (or whatever it really equates to; this is just my assumption)

As many have noted, it's pretty dangerous to just go thru these com.* entries & hope you know what the product is you're getting rid of. Hope that makes sense.

I'm trying to replace the stock ROM on my phone in an attempt to find out if another ROM has fixed a set of really annoying bugs present in stock. My phone is running the latest OTA from OnePlus (ONEPLUS A3000_16_170610).

I've followed the following steps:

Flash the latest versions of TWRP and SuperSU. Reboot several times.

Disable lockscreen security.

Boot to recovery and do a full backup.

Reboot and copy new ROM and Gapps to /sdcard.

Reboot to recovery.

Wipe dalvik, system, data, and cache.

Attempt to install the ROM. At this point, I get the following error:

Checking for MODEM build time-stamp 2017-06-27 21:43:31
assert failed: op3.verify_modem("2017-06-27 21:43:31") == "1"
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/RR-N-v5.8.4-20170806-oneplus3-Official.zip'

This example is using the latest Resurrection Remix ROM, but I've also gotten the exact same error from the latest LineageOS.

What's wrong?

Hello,

I have a galaxsy s5 906k and I've been reading on how to unlock the bootloader as I'm trying to install Remix OS and it seems I've come across a lot of misinformation.... and if possible can someone tell me what exactly I need to unlock the bootloader, as I can't find a list of the appropriate tools? Do I need twrp for my specific device?? Some have said yes and some no.

My phone is already rooted.

Also post unlock bootloader question, can I use the 900k rom from remix to install on my 906k?

EDIT**

I can only boot into download mode, not fastboot mode. adb devices returns the device, but fastboot devices returns nothing. Tried adb reboot-bootloader`and it just shows waiting for any device.

These all boot into download/odin mode!!!!!!

adb reboot download

adb reboot bootloader / adb reboot-bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot flashing unlock

Only one that boots into recovery mode! Then I go to Reboot to bootloader and it comes back to recovery mode!!!!!!!!!!

adb reboot recovery
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] labbi05:
Hi everybody,

I have a little problem with my 6X (BLN-L21C432B360) and I didn't find the solution for it. After a longer time I try to change my theme, but nothing happend. I try it with an 'free' hwt-file and with a theme from the 'theme-store' and nothing works. After that I checked the settings and I didn't found anything that helps. Next step was a factory reset, with restore the apps and some data of the apps and the display layout. Didn't help. Last try was a reinstall the B360 Firmware and check again all settings. At the end it didn't work. If I choose a theme, and I press 'apply' the screen would be renew, but there is no change to the new choosen theme.

Has someone the same problem, or better does someone knows the solution for that problem ? I think it is a 'hidden' permission, that I don't found.

An idea was, to reinstall the themes or EMUI app, but I didn"t found an apk file.

Thanks for our help.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
Hi, did you already tried to use EMUI themes factory app available on Play Store? It's an alternative themes engine for custom themes, maybe it could work... Anyway, i just extracted my EMUI themes apk file. I have a BLN-L21xxxx360 too, so if you'd like to try a reinstall, i leave in attachments the apk (even if i don't think that the problem will be solved this way)
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] labbi05:

Broken? Dammit, on my phone works... I already faced this problem with an other Huawei app some time ago, the compass. Seems like extracting apks from Huawei stock roms doesn't always works so... Can't figure out why, since that if there was some kind of copyright or protection in their apps, the apks extracted shouldn't work at all, neither on my phone. Try follow this link to go on Huawei themes factory https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.emuithemesfactory.emuithemesfactory to me the app is shown

[MENTION=8242346]RedSkull23[/MENTION]

no change..... :(

I install the app, download a theme, press 'apply', restart my phone.....and it didn"t work.

What I find out, if I use the customize button ( I hope that is the right word for it, because my system language is not english). It shows that the theme change is made. He shows for both, lock screen wallpaper and Icons the new theme. When I try to change the lockscreen wallpaper and the icons manuel nothing happend.

Changing the wallpaper of the homescreen and the lock screen via the system setting works wonderfull.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
Wow... That's f****** weird. At this point i dunno what it'd be. The data restore after the wipe of the data could not help if the error was in data files, but the reinstallation of the firmware theoretically should had fixed that... one last thing so: did you gave access to "phone" permission at the themes app? It couldn't work without that permission because Hw themes checks your IMEI, try to look if the themes app owns that permission from

Settings-> apps-> themes-> authorizations
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] labbi05:
I checked the permissions of the theme app. There are three things. All of them are given. No changes.....

How about installing an older version of EMUI themes (just the previous version) and see if it changes any thing
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] labbi05:
I try one thing. I made a factory reset of my device with no restore. The naked phone (without Google or any apps), I try to switch the theme and it didn't work. So now I think that my Firmware ROM has the problem. I thinkk the best way would be an rollback to an older Firmware and then an upgrade to the actually version.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
If even an older version suffers that bug i think that too. Try even that method, if nothing will change start to consider the idea of switching to an other firmware compatible with your phone
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
That seems the only solution
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] labbi05:
So, I made a complete rollback to B130 via B300. After that, I try the themes and it works. Then I made the update (back) to B360 and then the themes work.

Thanks to everybody for the help.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
Very bizarre because coming back on B360, that should contain the same files of the previous B360, should make represent the issue :eek: but finally you've solved the problem and that's what matters.

Hi

I recently got into rooting my Android, and the procedure went flawlessly.

I then thought about installing custom rom, and that, well... Didn't go for the best.

In fact, now my phone is in a boot loop.

Though I still have access to eRecovery and TWRP, I can't get it to Factory Reset.

I tried to restore a backup ( I did this backup before installing the custom rom ), didn't work.

I get messages like : " Unable to mount /vendor " or " Can't mount /data " which led me to wiping everything (except SD Card) and these error messages keep coming up.

I then tried Huawei eRestore, couln't get it to work, because after a few minutes it gives me this " Can't get package info " message.

A few other attempts at saving my phone were installing the stock rom, via TWRP or the " dload " folder.

So I ask for help here since I don't know what else to do.

I should precise that it is a VNS-L31 DualSim ( 3G of RAM ).

Thank you for any help !

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] KraftCee:
Hi, thanks for the advice.

I was successfully able to install Elite Recovery by Hassan.

Unfortunately, when I try to boot via the custom recovery, I first get a screen showing a blue square and a red square on a green background (as strange as it sounds). Then it boots, " The system failed verification " or something. Then the Android booting logo (not the Huawei brand one). And it loads forever.

Maybe because the phone has no OS.

I'm gonna try installing EMUI 4.1.1 Android 6.0 (since the phone first came with this version) with the dload folder method, then proceed to update it from the built in updater.

I'll keep you in touch.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] jugglingj0hn:
Hello,

I need to help someone with the CAZ-AL10 version of this phone recover some accidentally deleted photos on android 7.0. Though I have rooted phones in the past, I have never been asked to recover deleted pictures. From the research I have done in the past hour or so, I have found that file recovery on android phones:

Requires root

Requires you to use software on a computer

I wanted to reach out to see if anyone here has experience with either of these. The software I was going to try to use at this point is called "Dr. fone," as it seems the most reliable, but they clearly say you need root if your phone isn't in the model/android version on a list they have. If anyone else has any other suggestions/techniques, please let me know. I am particularly wary of third party software, as most of the websites seem really scammy to me, so if anyone can vouch for any that would be great.

Also, regarding root, I guess this is the Chinese version of the phone, and I can not read Chinese, so I really want to make sure I don't mess anything up. Could someone point me to a root method which will work with this version? Is it the same as other versions?

Thanks in advance for any help.
