[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] Ace~:
Hello everybody.

I'm a new member in this very helpful forum because I need to ask rather than read already existing threads that didn't help that much...

First of all, I'm sorry for my English. My mother tongue is German.

I'm a very happy owner of a unlocked and rooted VTR-L09C432B150.

One week ago, I received the message that OTA 162 is available now.

I know, the forum is overfilled with questions about that problem but anyway, I still don't feel very well advised...

I figured out, that there are many ways to solve the problem. Let me tell you the ways I know and where I stuck.

Redlotus is a way but it seems that many users were not successful with installing a new firmware.

Firmware Finder is the other chance but actually it seems to be not working for P10 Devices because nobody knows the correct partitions that are needed?

I'm not very experienced about modding and all these ways seem to be very riskfull to brick my P10.

How did you update your phone in the easiest way?

I would also relock and flash the stock recovery before installing the OTA and get backto unlocked bootloader and TWRP after. Very annoying but it is OK. The functionality to back up system data (settings etc) is given by System app (save/restore), right?

May I use the eRecovery function to get back to stock recovery with unlocked bootloader? Didn't find any answer and don't want to do heavy mistakes.

Ok a lot of questions and much to explain. Sorry for that but I'm sure you can help me patiently. ;)

Thanks.

Hi guys, i just bought an unlocked SM-G935A galaxy model and it works fine with my Mexican carrier "Telcel" (can receive calls, messages, mobile data) however i notice that i won't have any Samsung and OS updates since this is an AT&T firmware, i have made some research and i believe that i have some options to change the AT&T firmware to another one that might work fine and it should be unlocked and free to get Samsung updates, however i'm not sure which one will work fine and it won't harm my device.

I have found these firmware's that might work fine:

SM-G935U (G935UUES4BQG1)

Sm-G935F (G935FXXU1DQG1)

Does any one have knowledge about this, or have any recommendations?

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] XavierP56:
Hi,

My P9 has a weird problem. I can't install any official firmwares : They all fail when installing, whatever the method : 3 buttons, HiSuite + Proxy, Firmware Finder + Proxy on phone, even eRecovery with DNS change.

It's a L09C432 (debranded, used to take updates fine before B383).

Using eRecovery, I'm trying to install as many firmwares as I can, hoping one will install. So far, I've B360-FullOTA-MF-PV, B386-FullOTA-MF-PV without luck.

Is there a "clean-up" package somewhere ?

Any suggestions ?

Thanks !
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] _Frostplexx_:
Install the official firmware over TWRP Recovery. It should also install the stock recovery, so the next time when you reboot into recovery it should be the stock recovery.

Is this properly waterproof?

Has anyone tried?

I don't trust mine for some reason....
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] yolinkin:
I tried YouTube in the shower to play some music. It starts doing all sort of things as it recognized water drops as touch actions on the screen. The moment the water hits the speakers it starts going dodgy. A good wipe later and the phone works perfectly. Although I must admit I started panicking a bit when I started hearing the distortions from the speakers.

I have not emerged it fully in water so that's all I've got for now. But I got great fate in it. I work on a boat in shallow waters so no doubt it will fall in one day and I'm going to go fishing for it. I will come with updates when it does happen

Well done. Yeah, steam in my bath gets the screen acting funny.

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] SiggieX:
I already tried twice to use it underwater on purpose. Both times it got damaged. The HTC support didnt even knew it should be waterproof, so I got both times a new one from Vodafone Germany. If it happens a third time, I'll choose another phone, because it was the additional reason for me to buy it. Shame on HTC..
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] spikeydoo2006:
They don't know it should be water proof, because it isn't. It's advertised as water/dust resistant. 2 different things.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] sephstyler:
Can you elaborate what you tried?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
Don't understand why people want to drown their phones underwater. I do believe HTC's intention for making it water resistant was for more device protection, not for snapchat scuba diving Lmao. Although, it did seem they were leading us to believe that we could take under water pics with the squeeze feature. They dropped the ball on that one.

Mine fell into sea water

It never turned on

and he is dead
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] spikeydoo2006:
Probably due to the salt in sea water. When it dries it crystallises. If any got in, it will affect the internal components.

Also check HTC website. It states clearly that it should only be resistant against still fresh/Tap water. Info attached.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] SiggieX:
The first time I had it 20cm under water for 10s. Some bubbles left from the microphone down below. This time I#d wouldnt even survived a rondom accident with water.

The second time I tried it in my bathtub for around 5 minutes to test if pics or vids would work. It did a bit. Controlling the phone while changing from water to air or the other direction is impossible, because it unterstands waterdrpos as input. so if u dive into water, it automatically pushes both buttons.

Controlling it fully under water work, but u dont really see what u do.

The thing is, if HTC says it is IP 67, it also should be it. So I will also try it with ne next changed one. When something happens in the future, I really want it to be waterproof.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] p50kombi:
I think there is a general misconception of the official IP67 rating..

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73584248&postcount=29

Just check there, also HTC claim, quite correctly it should resist water, but (like the official IP67 rating claims) you shouldn't submerge your device intentionally.

Trust me on this, I'm an engineer, IP67 does not mean you can happily use your device underwater, it should just survive a short trip into water (ie accidents) and you should be able to use it in rain etc.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
I grew up knowing that electronic devices and water do not mix. I have owned almost all of the flagships without ever worrying about waterproofing. I never have water issues with my device cause I don't think it's a good idea to put it in water. This issue is way overblown.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] evo4g63t:
I think this water resistance fad needs to die. I'd rather have removable battery than this 30 minute water resistance bs.

Btw, it's not waterproof that would imply it's resistant to water indefinitely these phones are simply water resistant.

Further there have been situations where phones that have been exposed to water won't charge because a sensor thinks the charge port is wet (on the s8 anyway).
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Alpert3:
Agreed. I'm an engineer as well, and "water resistance" definitely refers to "water", like tap water or mineral water. It won't resist to sea water, orange juice, coca cola, high temperature bath/shower/SPA, and the steam.

And for some who put their phones into the refrigerator in summer and when phone gets hot, the water comes from the air inside...won't resist to that either.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] konsti23:
Definitely not water proof

Hi there

The U11 is definitely not water proof. In the brief desctiption (at least in Switzerland, guess it's the same in "any" german description) it is clearly stated "Wasserdicht" (= water proof). Today the device fell into sea water, maybe 1 m and stayed for about 30 seconds.

After some hours I opened he sim tray and the white spot (liquid damage indicator (LDI)appeared red. So water definitely penetrated the device. Guess it doesn't matter wether it's sea or other water - but the damages inside are certainly higher with sea water due to the salt.

I could turn on the device and it felt into a kind of boot loop. Starting up in download mode worked. It is now in a rice bath and I am waiting now a few hours.

Hope I don't have to buy a new device...

And I will have to adjust my signature...

Water proof - guarantee case - update

Hi all

Small update regarding the "water proof" case. Well, it shows up that the thing is getting very complicate. I explain how the reparation chain is organized in Switzerland:

- Device is sold in Electronic Shop (the name is not important)

- In case of reparation: Drop the device with Electronic Shop

- Electronic shop sends device to a reparation center in Switzerand which repairs normally devices (any brands). At this repair center, HTC devices are NOT repaired, they are sent to Czech Republic (or Poland - I don't remember) for reparation.

- And then the whole chain is going back to the Electronic shop

Now, I have received an invoice for the reparation because of the water damage. After that I have contacted the reparation center Switzerland (which explained that they don't repair HTC devices) and after that the reparation center abroad. They now play the game telling me "Yes, your device has a water damage". When I reply that the HTC U11 is supposed NOT to have water damages (according to the specs) I get the reply "yes, we understand that you are angry, but in case of water damages we can't do anything. And your device has a water damage".

Next reply: Reparation center in Switzerland says "Please refer to Reparation Center abroad". Reparation Center abroad says "Please see this case with reparation center in Switzerland". So nobody is taking it's responsibilities.

I also get the statement from the reparation center abroad that every device is tested for water proof before they are sold. And this would also be a reason that my device was not water proof on another spot. YES SURE!

I am really pxxxed off. This is the first time in 10 years that I have a reparation in guarantee. If HTC is not willing to repair my device as guarantee case then I am done with them. I HOPE HTC READS THIS.

Thanks for reading
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Cibor:
If they send devices to Poland probably CCS or CTDI is HTC's partner. If your water indicator was red it is very bad. Only way is to ask for test of tightness. If you have contact to service center in Poland and you have problem (cause they may have problem with English :D) I can help you if you want (I'm Polish).
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] konsti23:
That's very nice of you. But again - Yes, the device has a water damage, I totally agree. But the device is supposed NOT to have water damages, because it's supposed to be water proof.

HTC U11 is water and dust resistant and has an IP67 rating as defined in the International Standard IEC 60529. With the nano SIM/microSD slot covered and closed tightly, this phone is water resistant if it is briefly submerged by accident in fresh water less than 1 meter deep and no longer than 30 minutes at room temperature.

This is from HTC homepage...
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Cibor:
I know, but if your Sim slot was closed water shouldn't damage your device. That's why they should perform tightness test.

But...

If you have told them that was sea not fresh water you have no chance to fix your U11 using warranty.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] momo100:
HTC u11 phone malfunctioned and was completely dead, after getting rain IN MY POCKET. I contacted the HTC Germany and they say they are NOT responsible. And there is no warrantee for water damage. Please be careful, your water resistant phone might not be that water resistant after all.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] ibolito:
Beware dear HTC U11 owners. I have 2 HTC U11 in my family, the second one has a flaw. I washed it with clear tape water for like 5 seconds, so no pressure at all, it wasn't buried in 1 or 2 meters deep, and still I saw water beneath the front camera. The phone still worked with no problem,but I was scared so I let it seat for a night in a box full of rice, and now it's OK, no water left inside but be careful, especially because HTC repair service is one of the worst out there. I will never wash it again, I will just wipe it with wet wipes but nothing more.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
The key word here is "briefly" submerged by accident. In other words, you drop it in a toilet bowl and retrieve it immediately. But we knew here from the very beginning that the U11 wasn't very much waterproof.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
The problems mainly come from wrong usage. Many user took the upper mic for the SIM card ejector, instead of the little hole in the SIM tray, thus penetrating the water proof membrane. About 90% of water damages recorded were caused by that very incident.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
That makes a lot more sense. I've had my U11 in pouring down rain at concerts, taking pictures and never had any issues.

Accidentally dropped multiple times in bucket full of water. The touch goes crazy until a clean wipe. Also once we went for boating and I was taking 60fps 1080p video for a while and it got overheated. I dipped it in the lake water and kept it that way for 10-15 sec and it worked as a perfect coolant. A clean wipe after that gave me another 15-20 minutes video time. Did it couple times until the battery drained due to video Rec.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Wolfdragon:

The Netflix app has a cast button which loads Netflix on the Chromecast then using the phone/tablet you select what you wanna watch, so in a sense the Android app is like a remote for the Chromecast.
