Can one modify the recovery.img file for a certain firmware version other than B391?
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
You haven't read OP #1?
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] kukubau:
You didn't understand my question.

Can one modify the recovery.img from another firmware package, other than B391?

Let's say I'd like to do a HEX file diff between two image files and modify the img file myself.

Is this possible? What should I look for?

For learning purposes.
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Atarii:
You can use this recovery with any firmware and ignore the version - I just used b391 as the base as that's the firmware I was on at the time.

You can't modify other recovery images by diffing the hex - you need to disassemble the recovery binary and overwrite the checks with arm assembly

Do you try downgrade using b300 update.app and then to b136 or b182???

Your method it's safe?? What when we brick device
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] kukubau:
Thanks for the clarification.

I've flashed the L19 B391 recovery image and flashed the B391 OTA using your method, but the phone didn't boot afterwards.

I'll try the B390 OTA later today, to see if it makes a difference.
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] dkionline:
if not, boot up and hold vol+ like you would enter to twrp, then it should flash automatically.
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Atarii:
Did you use the 2GB file?
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] kukubau:
Yes.

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

I've flashed my phone and unbricked it hundreds of times.

I've even posted an unbrick guide here on XDA forums.

I guess I know how to force flash it using the three key combo.
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Atarii:
I haven't personally tested this but I know others have for other device - so use at your own risk
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] dkionline:
Im not using 3 key, only 1.

If not boot, you have manually boot with key i posted before.

This is so nice. Is it possible to make one for PO Plus, VIE-L09 and VIE-L29? Thanks
[Huawei P9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] kukubau:
Doesn't boot into android os, no matter what.

I'll post a follow up after I try the B390 fw, maybe incremental updates are required.

I want to make use of my Galaxy S5 which is laying under the table hole time and I want your ideas.

My wish so far is to make it speak at loud current weather every 2h, for now I have app that says notifications at loud but I didn't find weather app that puts notifications with weather details as text every few hours, every weather app I installed so far just puts widget in notification area.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohhaxs:
You can do tons of ideas. One is to make your s5 a dash camera for your car. Another is to use it strictly as a music player in your car. You could also use it as one of those live picture frames. Creativity is key!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EZY-E:
I managed to make it speak IFTT notifications about weather at loud for now, every morning and before going to bed.

I want it to be like some kind of info center that speaks useful informations through day, but don't have any other ideas.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] magoooood:
I'm thinking about buying a new Huawei or (Honor) phone in the near future that have EMUI 8 Oreo pre-installed. To settle my decision about buying that specific brand (Huawei/Honor), I'd like to ask about the old famous bug of missing notifications that plagued EMUI 5. Does it still exist in anyway because of the silly restrictions to background activities/apps (even though Android takes care of this thing in Oreo! but Huawei seems to insist on keeping their own management!)?

and how about LED notification LED, Does it light up with any notification coming? and are the colors customizable?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] funcrusher:
That's a different issue. Blowing into the mic will do nothing for this.

---------- Post added at 11:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 AM ----------

Try recording again with some background noise.

It's possible to get decent sounding recording if there's only one source of sound - e.g. you're just speaking and there's no background noise of any kind.

I'm pretty sure this affects ALL 2 XLs.

[Fire General] ChompDroid126:
It's 2017 now, anyone who owns a 'Fire (5th Generation)' tablet may be playing games, on their tablets nowadays, and is it starting to go sluggish and tired? Should I switch? Why do we put up with this.

Meet "GameWorld OS", based on "Pure Nexus" but edited by a mile, designed for the "Fire (5th Generation)", wanna remove all Amazon junk and basically turn it into a normal gaming android tablet? Well, it's really easy, but the requirements you will need are:

*Root

*Flashfire APK

*Custom Recovery

*Computer

*ADB (if needed)

*SDCard or USB Via OTG Cable

WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW OR DO SOMETHING TERRIBLY WRONG MAY BRICK YOUR DEVICE TO THE POINT WHERE THE BOOTLOADER IS MISSING OR NO OPERATING SYSTEM! PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUCCESSION! ALSO, THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY TOO!

NOTE: Go to YouTube to find multiple videos on rooting the "Fire (5th Generation)" if you don't know how to root that device.

NOTE 2: YOU MUST BE ON FIRE OS 5.1.1 OR 5.1.2 OR ELSE THIS WILL NOT WORK!

Now, this ROM currently doesn't have any stores, you will need to transfer Google play apk requirements that are designed for Android 5.1 Lollipop.

To install:

Firstly, backup any data stored on your device as the whole system partition needs to be erased in order for the ROM to install correctly, I recommend "Titanium Backup" as that will back up all your applications to an SDCard or OTG if you own those.

Next, install FlashFire from the internet, if install is blocked, enable unknown sources, after, open up the FlashFire app.

Now backup your ROM in case something seriously wrong occurs to your device or for some reason it gets bricked, then you can fix it.

Now, go to the plus button and add a zip, its recommended to add a zip file containing Google Play etc and the operating system itself.

Afterwards, go to wipe and tick everything!

Finally, check again to make sure you did everything right, if you look at the top of the tablet, you can see everything you ticked, so double check that, and if it looks good, plug in your device and hit "FLASH".

There will be a red banner saying FlashFire for most likely five-ten minutes, so be very patient and do not accidentally power off the tablet!

If you don't understand anything I said, go on YouTube and find videos on installing ROMS on the device.

Here is the link:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/12yWavj8omn1vi-Ie1h1qhzMSWgCVw6oi/view

Enjoy :)
[Fire General] freaky2xd:
it's nice to see that people still make ROMs for The Fire tablet, hoever, we really do need root for the 7th gen!
[Fire General] tonibm19:
What changes does it have compared to los12.1/pure nexus?
[Fire General] ChompDroid126:
A ton changes are gonna be done, battery sounds, alarms, ringtones, keyboard sounds and notification sounds are all different so far, this ROM has root pre-built, Google play store is now here after an update! The launcher is gonna be changed and a kids friendly launcher is gonna be added for parents to monitor their children's activity! Thanks for asking :o:laugh::fingers-crossed::victory::victory:

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] dark_prince:
I have planned to buy O2 XDA IIs from my frnd (2nd hand for sure)

Does it comes under the name, blueangel???

also please tell me pros and cons about this dmobile device

I already own O2 xda exec, typhoon and voyager:)

what about this one???

cud U, experienced users please guide me....am i gonna upgrade its rom to WM6 or not??
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] EmZvr:
It's a great device, you won't make a mistake :P It has Intel PXA263 400mhz processor (This is the only thing i don't like in blueangel. It is not so fast. If you plan to play 3d games it is not very good for this. But you can easily overclock it with pocket master to 530mhz. With this frequency it handles everything without Snow Rally - there's a little lag and you can't play Playstation 1 games even if you overclock it to 590. I got 21-23fps in Tony Hawk Pro Skater with @530mhz and Frameskip - 2), 128 ram (This is great! With so much ram you don't need real close button.But there are no applications that wants more than 32 ram, so this is not a big advantage), Big screen and the best design for games(The screen is perfect. It wouldn't be bad if there was VGA screen but QVGA is not so bad either. In web browsing the qvga resolution is a big dissadvantage. You have to scrool a lot. But now there are browsers now that supports Zoom function.With it the browsing is good even on qvga device. When Opera 9.5 comes out it will rock :) And the design is great for games. It's like joystick when you handle it in landscape position and there are many buttons), 64mb Flash Storage(It's not much but you don't need more. There are SD Cards for that), SD/MMC expansion slot( The bad thing here is that it doesn't support SDHC, there are no drivers for that and there won't be in future :( ), CIF camera (It is really badd. The image quality is similar. If you try to record video it lags. I don't know why :/ It does it wven in the lowest quality), WiFi( No problems here), Bluetooth (No problems here either), IrDA( It can't be used as a remote controller because the irda range is around 3 meters)

And finally the PocketPC comes with WM2003. You can install WM6.1 but I recommend you to wait for explode's WM6.1. His roms are the best :P With the new windows the pocket becmoes really fast and stable. That's all, it's a great device :P
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] jdc:
Nice choice. I recently picked up a hermes and while it is very nice, there are some things I miss from the Angel.

I don't quite understand this question. If you are asking if it was sold under the name of Blue Angel, no. Blue Angel is the HTC internal name for the phone. It was never sold by HTC directly, but to the various cell carriers who rebadged it with their own plastics and ROM/applications.

Pros:

Good CPU speed (the keiser runs at the same speed, 400 mhz)

The CPU has been around for a while, so 3rd party apps that are designed for the CPU work well.

Good physical size on the screen

Lots of storage and program memory when the extended ROM is resized/removed.

Cons:

Since it is an older platform, any MW version after 2003 is a hack. The drivers are generally ported from other phones and there are various bugs that will probably never be fixed due to a lack of hardware drivers. Everything does work, there are just various quirks. :)

Radio range (bluetooth, wifi, etc) are not the best. Heck, they often tend to be down right crappy.

Unless someone is able to write and release a SDHC driver for the card slot, it will never support SDHC cards, which will limit the phone to 4 gig cards. 2 gig is the official spec for SD, but there are a few 4 gig non-SDHC cards out there.

I still like mine and plan on passing it to my wife or using it for testing and development if she doesn't want it.

I would. MW6 is a huge improvement over 2003 and 5. The latest ROM builds out there work very well, if not 99% perfectly, and are fast.

In my opinion, Hemli releasing wm6 for the angel breathed new life into the device.

Really, I wish HTC would revive the device, make an updated version of it. The form factor, while is a bit big for a phone, is great for usability as a PDA.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Towserspvm2000:
I second that! Just ditched my Hermes for my old trusty Blue Angel, which blows the pants off it! I forgot how much I loved the 3.5 inch screen!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] DUdawei:
Rookie as well with the Blue Angel

I am getting started with the Blue angel as well (O2 Xda IIs)

I like it a lot this will probably become my best buddy during my travels

I got a couple of complementary questions about it.

I intend to use it for business purposes, mainly Internet through

Wifi and GPRS, pdf and offices documents.

I saw on this forum that you advise to change from WM 2003SE to Windows Mobile 6 (the last published by Microsoft)

-My question is: This PDA is already a bit old now, is it going to work smoothly wit the very last OS, which is designed for more recent PDAs (i.e which should be more efficient).

I mainly want to use it for Internet, wich browser do you recommend ?

Internet explorer? Opera Mobile? Opera Mini? other browser?

By the way what is the difference between Opera Mobile and Opera Mini
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mastar blastar:
you should go with opera mobile, as it is better suited for pda's. opera mini is suited for java based mobile phones.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mastar blastar:
man i wish they would do that, or release a device with the same glorious screen but with contemporary features, all in all the blu angel is still a killer device 4 years on.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Theri0n:
Absolutely right. I had been using the subj for 4 years in nearly extremal conditions, uprading and downgrading firmware dozen times. But, unfortunately it died as hero. Really great gadget, legend of HTC platform challenging ages.

Hello, I bought Samsung a3 2017 several days ago. I've installed ota nougat update and have been using it for a few days. There is one issue I've never encountered before on any other devices, the phone when connected to WiFi gets timeout for a few seconds, then allows data transferring for several seconds and then goes back to timeout. I've tried different wifies and it's surely problem of the phone, not WiFi. So, did anybody have this issue and how can I fix it?

Also if she does happen to get this installed on my phone again is there a way to locate the files and uninstall it if its hidden? Like rooting the phone or something of the nature?
