[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Sicilian:
Hello Guys!

I've been reading around the forums for sometime now and the more I read, the more confused I get. I've never flashed my phone(s) with custom ROMs and have absolutely no knowledge about the process and risks.

My requirements are:

Android Nougat

All phone features work including camera, gps, sensors, etc.

VoLTE enabled [If not, I'm fine]

I use my phone mostly for:

Phone calls

Messaging, Whatsapp, Hangouts, etc.

Web Surfing, Emails, etc.

Netflix and Amazon Prime

GPS Navigation

Can somebody suggest me a suitable custom ROM?

P.S.: I tried searching for a similar thread in order to avoid creating this one but, couldn't find one.

All the N based roms are based off of LinOS 14.1. And there is a problem getting full functionality from the camera.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Sicilian:
Okay! So apart from the Camera, everything should work on the LinOS 14.1 based ROMs?

Hi all!

I am thinking about buying the Frontier but have a doubt here: what's the material used on the back of the watch? Is it plasctic? And the translucent part over the HR sensor, is it glass or plastic?

Are both the back cover and these translucent sensor cover prone to scratches?

Hope to get som input from you soon.

Need to finish my order!

Thanks!

Plastique I would say...

You can google for this:

The frontier has glass covering the HR module ( says it on the back) and as for the body I would say metal , since it feels cold to the touch, unlike any plastic matterial ( can't say for sure, could be plastic as some articles have stated) . Three months in - not a single scratch.

Build quality is great, does not feel cheap at all. Nice and heavy.

hw to install
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ante0:
You extract zip, put contents in external_sd/dload/

then boot using vol up + vol down + power. It's useful if you manage to brick or want to rebrand.

Or want to rollback from Oreo to Nougat.

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

Phew. Thanks to these dload images...

I was going to update to Oreo again to try some stuff to get Magisk running.

I downloaded Oreo Beta from pro-teammt.ru using Linux. Little did I know the update.zip was corrupt (Later I tried downloading multiple times using both browser and wget, different MD5 each time so something is up with my computer).

So I updated like usual using HWOTA. It started installing, I don't know how long it got to, but I was presented with a screen that said PLEASE REDOWNLOAD PACKAGE USING RECOVERY.

So I rebooted. ERROR MODE. Now I'm scared... I googled "Mate 10 release date" just in case, lol.

I rebooted to fastboot mode, thankfully it still worked. I had to unlock bootloader again. Now I tried flashing stock B197 recovery, FAILED: (remote: partition length get error).

I tried the same with boot. Same result.

Then I figured out it probably had the new Oreo partition names for boot and recovery, and thankfully those flashed fine.

So flashed TWRP for Oreo, flashed oeminfo for AL00C00 using dd. Flashed ERECOVERY partitions using dd as well, just in case.

Back to bootloader to unlock again after flashing oeminfo, then flashed back stock recovery_ramdisk.

Then placed dload folder on external sd and booted up using vol up+down+power

Now my Mate 9 is booting up again!

So with this Builds I can rollback from Oreo to naught? But my phone isn't listed... European MHA-L29C432
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ante0:
You need to rebrand to AL00C00 to rollback.

In other words, flash AL00 oeminfo.bin, use AL00 dload. Then rebrand back to L29C432 using Hwota. It's currently the only free way of rolling back to Nougat.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] albertobom:
I've change some things in system. It's there a problem to use dload if I have change system?

Also I've to have dload on external sdcard right?

So the steps are:

Flash oeminfo.bin info

Then use erecovery and dload right
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ante0:
It doesn't check system or any other partition so it will install.

Yes, ext sd:/dload/files from AL00C00(B115 is what I used) dload rar.

Extract dload rar, place all files on external SD in dload folder.

Flash AL00C00 oeminfo.bin. use vol up+vol down+power to boot, make sure USB is unplugged else it will stuck on 5%.

After you will have to rebrand back to L29C432 using HWOTA.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] albertobom:
Thanks my dear friend I'm at beta oreo and it's running amazing but I think I'll have to go back to N so I can make new updates since Oreo doesn't have patched recovery yet.

Hi, I'm having a similiar issue. I can't flash any recovery using fastboot (FAILED: (remote: partition length get error). , I'm on emui 5.0.1 android 7.0 (phone works perfectly fine), is possible to flash TWRP recovery using DD? if so, how? it's my first time doing this with a huawei phone and I want to try oreo beta

UPDATE:

Bricked it, can't flash recovery, only fastboot, can't force update neither, any idea?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ante0:
recovery is named recovery_ramdisk on Oreo.

So fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img

Make sure you flash twrp from the oreo thread.

If you're on Nougat recovery partition is named recovery, so:

Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Twrp is in the regular twrp thread.

You can only use dd in twrp, not using fastboot.

If you tried updating to Oreo I would try both recovery and recovery_ramdisk.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] seniga1:
flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img

That did the trick, really appreciated, you'r my new hero :highfive:
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] revjamescarver:
Oreo updates

You should be able to get updates if you are on the Oreo beta, update checks for stock recovery and won't update if you are on a custom or patched recovery, system update would just see you as updating from beta to release version, beta and release versions are both official ROMs so I don't think you would have any issues with updating as long as the device brand is the same.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] jaldi:
plz help sir

I did what you have described above ... flashed oreo twrp successfully but when tried to boot into TWRP it never boots into TWRP ( only a screen appears having three options : 1. Reboot system now 2. Wipe data/factory reset 3. Wipe cache partition.

I'm neither able to perform wipe data/factory reset nor able to wipe cache( it goes to 40% and gives error)

Struck here for more than 15 days...any help will be highly appreciated.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ante0:
You do have Oreo, right?

TWRP should fail to install if you don't have Oreo (unless you're flashing it to recovery and not recovery_ramdisk).

But it sounds to me like it's not installing at all, since you're ending up in stock recovery.

Make sure you use "fastboot flash" , not "fastboot boot"
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] jaldi:
Thanks for the reply

Please, help me..:! I need the service ROM for MHA-L09...

Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Wirmpolter:
So, will the service ROM, that is right for my device (MHA-AL00, before I attempted to rebrand) only work then if my OEMinfo matches? Or can I still download it and then downgrade to nougat from oreo? The reason why I ask is that in following the rebrand method on here for being on oreo, I messed up. Now, the phone works fine but is now a different model number and vendor then what it was originally. This has also caused the issue in bootloader mode, where it says Phone lock and FRP lock underneath it., leaving me unable to use the majority of the fastboot commands.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] jaldi:
Rather using downgrade method already mentioned here on xda, better and simpler method is to use service rom, extract it to update.app and use Dload method. As in any case oeminfo should match to b636 or al00(Dload method only works in these 2 regional roms). Then you can use hwota to change to any region or update to oreo too.

As far as phone locked and frp locked status is concern, i was in the same waters but somehow i did manage to get out of it... Don't remember how.. Sry... M trying to recall.. Anyways have you tried clearing cache partition and full factory reset.... Give it a try.. If u haven't
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Wirmpolter:
Yeah, unfortunately, I tried both of those and no changes. I even performed the factory reset and reset all settings in the settings menu, still no changes. And, using the phone dialer to factory reset, which is the full one, failed to complete.

Long story short, I messed up and tried to rebrand to a USA mate c567 so now, of course, the service roms don't work because they don't match the oeminfo, which I can't change anymore because I have no TWRP recovery, only the stock recovery.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] hussam_qashu:
I have the same problem. Can you please share the dd method? I believe erecovery is damaged and I cant flash it again via fastboot.

The dload method is never working for me, when I press the buttons its just boot to recovery :(
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ante0:
eRecovery is locked from flashing in fastboot if you're on Oreo.

And for dd you would need TWRP.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] hussam_qashu:
I have TWRP , any idea how to flash eRecovery ?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ante0:
dd if=/sdcard/erecovery_ramdisk.img of=/dev/block/platform/ff3b0000.ufs/by-name/erecovery_ramdisk_a

recovery_ramdisk and erecovery_ramdisk use the same image. So unless you know you flashed something else to eRecovery, it's something else that's the problem.

Phone would most likely show the error screen too when you try to boot to eRecovery
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] hussam_qashu:
I have never flashed anything to eRecovery.

The error screen after Huawei logo is :

Func NO: 11 ( recovery image )

Error NO: 2 (load failed )

I flashed stock firmware manually. Ramdisk, kernel, system, cust, and recovery. No boot also :(
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ante0:
Well, flash erecovery as explained above. Then flash:

dd if=/sdcard/erecovery_kernel.img of=/dev/block/platform/ff3b0000.ufs/by-name/erecovery_kernel_a

dd if=/sdcard/erecovery_vendor.img of=/dev/block/platform/ff3b0000.ufs/by-name/erecovery_vendor_a

dd if=/sdcard/erecovery_vbmeta.img of=/dev/block/platform/ff3b0000.ufs/by-name/erecovery_vbmeta_a

They're all in your firmwares update.app

Edit: wait, you updated from Nougat to Oreo by flashing those, or Oreo to Oreo?

The error itself could mean that you used Nougat images on Oreo or vice-versa.

So the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Dual Sim & 256GB Internal Storage Maple Gold/Blue Colour is not available in Canada at the moment, so I have to order it through my parents who will bring it for me from abroad.

There are two Dual Sim and 256GB variants of the Galaxy Note8 that are available to me, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 (which is from Hong Kong Region) and the Samsung Exynos 8895 version (from UAE/Gulf Region).

I am more interested in the Samsung Exynos 8895 version from UAE/Gulf Region because Battery Life is one of my main priorities and I am more into Multi-Tasking than Gaming. Though I do game during my leisure time like Clash of Clans, Miniclip games, etc.

So will I be able to use the Exynos 8895 Variant from UAE/Gulf Region seamlessly in Canada? LIKE I really want the "SAMSUNG PAY" TO WORK IN CANADA, GALAXY APPS STORE, AND ALL OTHER FEATURES with ease.

Or "Samsung Pay" only works if I buy a Galaxy Note8 from Canada???!

Or IS IT MORE WISE TO GET THE SNAPDRAGON 835 Hong Kong version to use in Canada, because most android devices here have SD chipsets?

And which is the Best in terms of Battery Life, Camera, Multi Tasking, some Gaming, SD 835 or Exynos 8895 for the Galaxy Note8 for use in Canada??

And I intend to use the phone for the next 3 to 4 years, as Im spending about $1000 on this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] neograndizer:
If anything I would be concerned in what bands it supports and whether those bands will work with the Canadian carrier you are with. Secondly, Samsung Pay is not readily available in Canada. I think only CIBC users with CIBC credit cards can use Samsung Pay at the moment. No one else can.

Here's an idea, I wish I had the knowledge to create this. Have a 3d ball, diameter can be from far left to far right..........has multiple cubes/squares on the face........that will allow up-down motion as well as left-to-right. Whatever is closest to you is larger than the squares further back on the top and bottom of the ball. So if you go top to bottom, the ball looks like it's rolling toward you.........can somewhat remind you of the wheel on Price is Right. If you go left to right, it would spin toward the right and vice versa.

Hello everyone,

I recently decided too install the LineageOS.

Everything went fine, but I forgot Gapps and didnt want too use my phone without them so I decided too install the ROM again but this time with the apps.

I followed the linageos guide but accidently wiped everything before I could

adb push filename.zip /sdcard/

(dunno if thats the problem)

Im using TWRP 3.1.1-1. I can get into Recovery Mode. While in fastboot modus my pc detects my phone as an OnePlus, in Recovery modus its just android.

fastboot devices

shows my serial number. OEM is unlocked.

while in recovery mode

adb push filename.zip /sdcard/

gets me

No such file or directory

adb push C:\User\...filename.zip /sdcard/

gets me

failed to copy.. remote couldnt create file

while in fastboot mode I get

no devices/emulator found

Copying by dragging the file into internal storage doesnt work neighter.

I dont know what I did different besides the wipe before the copying. Maybe the wipe deactivates USB Debugging?

Maybe someone sees where my problem is.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] r717:
well first thanks for your reply. I flashed the original recovery and tried 2 sideload now. Seems to be driver problems. So I have to try every solution with Win10 and OP5 drivers I guess?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jhs39:
Make sure the Android drivers on your computer are up to date and also that you don't have any old drivers from a previous phone. I accidentally wiped everything on my OP5 once but when I connected it to my Windows 10 computer the OP5 was still recognized as a storage device--but I used TWRP not the stock recovery and also used the file explorer in TWRP. With the stock recovery you should still be able to side load flash the stock ROM from your computer. If you can't it's likely a driver issue.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] kipue:
I had once a similar issue, although not exactly this, just something with drivers.

A long process to fix was to install Linux as a virtual machine in Windows and that worked well. I could do all I needed, the phone was quickly recognized.

Virtualbox or VMware both are free/have a free version and I used Ubuntu.

Give it a try if all else fails.
