This only lets you flash a recovery. You could theoretically install the builds using TWRP. But as I mentioned before, phone will only allow a genuine Huawei boot image to boot when the bootloader is locked, so it is not likely to boot. You might be able to flash a custom ramdisk using this tool, and boot holding volume up with usb connected, bypassing the check for genuine Huawei software, allowing it to boot. You can certainly play with it and see.

Mate 9 Softed Bricked. Please HELP!!

First I'd like to state that I'm not exactly a noob however I'm not quite a developer. I originally got my start with my htc m8 and various samsungs and for the most part, never had an issue. Now i own a huawei and I think I'm missing something because no matter what I do I cant seem to get her up and running again. so lets begin. Im going to make this post as comprehensive as possible for the sake of avoiding suggestions that I've already tried. I successfully unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp, rooted with super su. Then, I came across I came across something known as Magsick.. I have never heard of this and honestly have no idea what it is outside of the briefly reading about how it's the thing to have on your huawei.. So, I downloaded and tried to flash TWRP per the instructions provided on the site. This is where it all went to hell. The phone went into bootloop.. I still had twrp and fastboot however the device was undescoverable by huawei suite (inorder to re flash firmware then rom). After endless search, I found update.zip and two other files which were supposed to restore my device. I ignorantly used twrp to flash the update.zip file with obvious errors. Then I flashed the other 2 files which also yielded errors. However! The phone booted up normally only with the Android logo rather than the previous huawei logo. Regardless it booted to initial setup except I had no keyboard. I assumed this probably was an incompatibility between the firmware and the rom I just successfully flashed. Unfortunately I had no access to an OTG keyboard therefore I was back to square one. After more seemingly endless research I came across the manual "Correct: method of updating the firmware.. UPDATE.APP into dload both on sd and internal storages, hold 3 buttons to initialize update. No matter how many variants I tried or different ways I used to extract the Update file, The install either failed all together or failed at 5%. Frustrated and defeated I, for the first time, gave in and brought it to a supposed guru of Bricked devices. Yeah F****n Right!! The guy straight told me from the get that from my description I had more technical knowledge than he did, with Huawei devices that is. Nevertheless he would try to reach out to some other guys and would hopefully figure out how to get her back up.. Week later I had it back the same way I gave it. I then contacted Huawei and long story short,they aint gonna touch it..SO!!! I still have TWRP, the boot loader is unlocked and I'm stuck with a $500 brick thats shaped like a phone.. I've wasted $30 using dc-unlocker. Only thing that did was trip FRP Lock which now is green and reads lock rather than unlocked. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please don't suggest I get a better phone or any other sarcastic response cause I'd rather hear it. Thanks. Only genuine advise please.

Hi there.

I have been reading about diy methods with soldering a resistor to the usb connector cable. With this "mod" you should be able to connect a device via OTG and charge the tablet at the same time.

I want to use an external microphone for google assistant and need to charge the device when the screen is off.

Is there a change to make this work with the t 580 tablet?

2. Install beta/prerelease system software, without needing to be a beta tester.

3. Recover a bricked phone.

4. Rebranding / Change the region of your phone (China -> Europe, for example, to get Google and so on.)

5. Root your EMUI 8 phone, even with stock recovery (This feature is free)

Except for rooting, all of these features are supported even if you cannot unlock your phone's bootloader.

We are pleased to announce FHUnbrickFlashTool -- You can now repair any recent Huawei phone via fastboot, even if you cannot access eRecovery or boot the phone! Even if it doesn't show the Huawei logo, as long as you can get a fastboot connection to your computer, you can recover the phone! Google FHUnbrickFlashTool or check FunkyHuawei's reddit for details.

To find FunkyHuawei, please Google it. Or you can find a link to the service within the following XDA Portal article.

In cooperation with XDA, FunkyHuawei is offering a free credit to Recognized Developers and Recognized Contributers on XDA.

Please PM me for more details.

Mate 9 Pro Device-Specific Information

The Mate 9 Pro now has a relatively mature community with many methods to do many things.

However, there are still some things only possible with FunkyHuawei, so it would be most useful for:

1. Installing updates on bootloader-locked devices, even if the update is not approved by Huawei for your device.

2. Rebranding bootloader-locked devices.

3. Restoring bricked devices.

Note that even though the Mate 10 Root tool is designed for the Mate 10, it works perfectly on the Mate 9 Pro running Android O betas.

This tool is FREE, and might be easier than installing TWRP and rooting that way.
[Huawei Mate 9 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much does FunkyHuawei cost?

A: You need to buy credits on the FunkyHuawei website. The price per credit varies depending on the number of credits you buy. Different operations cost different amounts of credits. However, the Root feature of the Mate 10 tool is free, and as mentioned above, Recognized Developers/Contributors of XDA can ask for a free credit.

Q: My phone is bootloader locked, and FRP locked. My bootloader unlock code dosen't work. It won't boot. eRecovery doesn't work. Can you help?

A: Yes. With the Mate 10 this is now a common situation. Contact FunkyHuawei for help in this situation. We'll need to access your computer remotely and the procedure is a little bit complicated, but the phone can be unbricked.

Q: I can't get my bootloader unlock code/don't want to unlock my bootloader, but I want to change my phone to something other than Chinese. Can you help?

A: Yes. Our new FunkyHuawei Rebrand Tool works on ALL recent Huawei phones, to rebrand them to another region even when the bootloader is locked.

Q: I'm not seeing the latest version listed on FunkyHuawei or elsewhere as an OTA. Why not?

A: Huawei has a very odd and unpredictable way of rolling out OTA updates. You can use FunkyHuawei to install the new version immediately, or can wait for the update to be rolled out. It might be a month or more after release until the update reaches your device from Huawei directly. We have no idea why.

Q: Why isn't FunkyHuawei free?

A: Because many of FunkyHuawei's features cost FunkyHuawei money to provide. Features that don't cost FunkyHuawei money to provide, like rooting the Mate 10 or our TWRP build for Mate 9/Oreo, for example, are generally made available for free. There are also bills to pay, kids to put through school, and so on.

Q: I noticed FunkyHuawei in an XDA Portal article!

A: FunkyHuawei loves XDA, and is cooperating with them as much as possible. Recognized Developers and Contributors on the XDA forums are welcome to claim a free credit from FunkyHuawei as well.

Q: I have a different question.

A: This is what this thread is for! Post away!

I have a S7 G930A ATT that I bought from my brother. the battery worked fine for him but once I got it and updated it. (Don't remember what version he had it on). But now my battery life is horrible. I used Odin and downgraded to 6.0.1 cause i read other people were having the same issue but it hasn't fixed it . Should I replace the battery? Any other ideas? I'm at 73% and it's only been in battery form like a hour and a half with screen on for probably 30 minutes .
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] nyepo:
Try to go to App > Settings, look for more options (3 dots) then click "Reset App Permissions".

It happened to me and also to others when updating from Marshmallow to Nougat. As you may have allowed different sets of permissions to many of your apps, as the new version pops up in your device, some apps have no permission to do some things and keep trying (although they can't) and no popup is shown -due to a bug maybe?-.

As mentioned, for me resetting all app permissions worked like a charm and the battery is as good as with 6.0.1. Just as a side note, if you do this some apps will start to ask for permissions again (as it will delete all permissions). Just accept them when you open the app. Somewill start showing errors until you grant their permissions again, and others won't work until you do. This is fine, you just need to give them the permissions they need when asked.

Hey guys,

i have

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 SM-N950F (INS) (Non-Rooted)

i have seen newer Updates of Samsung system apps like

touchwiz, phone, soundalive, gallery, and many more newer version apps in ApkMirror.com

but when i download the newer version and try to install. it fails to install. it tells

"app did not install"

1) tried the secure setup On and Off and it did not work for me in installing apk

(failed)

2) tried OEM unlock and tried Adb debugger enabled and tried installing from Adb terminal pc

(failed)

3) tried in safe mode also

(failed)

4) tried uninstalling updates and installing newer direct downloaded from apk mirror

(failed)

i simply could not install any newer version apps also in this note 8 could some one please find a solution for this as even these Samsung galaxy store and play store has too old versions of apk which i felt the rom is quite slow. if Apkmirror tells

"there is no mod done to the apk and signatures are pure Samsung".

then why the note 8 is not installing it.

Please dont tell me to root and do the copy paste and permission work

(this process i know and i dont want to root my device at any cost)

Please someone find the solution for this problem without Root option its a really need to solve this problem for most of them

This is the same problem as I described here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3701934

ADB will not work!

Installing after removing earlier updates won't!

This has nothing to do with the APK source! (and [MENTION=248531]Bandito[/MENTION]: not all apks there are from oreo, lol. they are pure minority...)

Our Problem is a Samsung-wanted security mechanism to prevent manual updates for some Samsung apps, mainly system apps!

On S8 it worked to change device secure startup from one setting to the other, reboot, and then as long as you do not reboot again, you could update these apps with the apks from apk-mirror!

for note8 no such workaround is known, at least not for what I know...

I have exactly the same problem here. APK of any Samsung system app refuses to install. However, Samsung Galaxy Apps and Samsung Themes are able to be updated using latest .apk files from www.apkmirror.com, so give it a try! Installing via ADB returns this error:

Failed to install app.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_BY_BUILDTYPE_BY_SECURITY_POLICY]

Searching this error on Google returns no useful results, so this definitely needs more attention. I also do not understand why the "About" section of each Samsung system app claims that "The latest version is already installed" when there is obviously a newer version available.

I had a similar problem. I was wanted to install a newer version of memo app on j510f with android 7.1.1 because after flashing new xsg rom it's missed its bidirectional writing ability (on android 6.0.1 it was starting from left side while typing english and was starting from right side while typing persian or arabic, automatically).

well, my solution:

first, i did what amit.a said in this link:

after installing it i used app2sd app to convert it to system app. then i restarted the device and finish!

after restarting, if app icon changed to android logo, reinstall it using amit.a's method.

i even installed samsung note with this way, but totally it didn't work on my device and stopped working :(

First update to android 9 pie.

Then find the version of system app that you desired to update.

After that find the apk of the original app on apkmirror .The phone I tested is samsung j7 pro 2017 on stock launcher 10.0.35.14.(Yes,you can update launcher)

Then check the apk size. Finally search for a apk which has similar size.(error less than 1mb)

Please open the app to see if it is working .

Please note that it you updates launcher it will keep stopping and you need to get to App information and click the settings icon.

Then click Hide apps and choose none (go back to home screen) and it will stop stopping.

Good luck! :)
