Could you try booting the stock recovery from the update (update.app / RECOVERY.img)? I extracted using the Huawei update extract tool.

I'm not sure if this phone has some type of lock on booting a recovery (without flashing) ...

If it's easier for you, I've uploaded the extracted RECOVERY.img here:

I've had that file for a while but haven't the time to make a new twrp for it as i'm always working on my axon 7 ;)

Anyway thnx for the effort :good:

I'll test it today and update you.

EDIT : cant fastboot boot stockrecovery.img too - hangs on booting...

Seems to be a problem there. Let's look into that.

Sheesh .. does "adb reboot recovery" work either?

I flashed mine so I have no idea if that works. If it doesn't work for you, and you never flashed it, we should also try to adb reboot recovery2 & see if that also fails.

Thanks again for your help.
[Huawei Y7 (2017) Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
You're welcome.

As a matter of fact, as i look into my updates i logcatted from my phone (see OP), the recovery.img of 140 and 150 are the same size : 59032 (as yours).

But the latest 160, has a size of 62592. Check for yourself. Strange...

Anyway, i cannot fastboot boot stockrecovery like said, neither size 140 neither 160 . What works is adb reboot recovery as it is standard.

Btw, there is no such command as fastboot

re

boot recovery imo. Only fastboot reboot or fastboot boot recovery (either for twrp or your stockrecovery)

Also, what do you mean with : you flashed yours....what did you flash ? and why would you flash your stock recovery as you're on stock :confused:

Explain what you have done so far because it's unclear what you're doing.
[Huawei Y7 (2017) Guides, News, & Discussion] aslezak:
I flashed various TWRPs of similar models as my recovery, including the two links I had posted in this discussion. I flashed them because "fastboot boot recovery.img" doesn't seem to work on our devices.

I still have the stock recovery in partition "erecovery" so I can adb reboot erecovery, but if I adb reboot recovery, I get the blue power light and black screen.

It's good to know that "adb reboot recovery" works for you. In the update packages, the erecovery.img and recovery.img are exactly the same file, so that's expected. It must be that the erecovery for the Y7 2017 is different than the erecovery for the Ascend XT2 H1711 :crying:
[Huawei Y7 (2017) Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
ok i understand.

True, most likely they are different as you could expect.

Nevertheless we need a twrp :D

Is there any way (utility?) to view what programs are eating what program memory? I'm talking about stuff that doesn't show up the in the Task List. Stock Task List has a search function for "large files" but it doesn't show what background processes are actually using up your program memory. I'd like to see where it's all going and maybe figure out something I can remove/uninstall to free up some program memory.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Potetsjokolade:
Hello. I am considering changing my battery on my Galaxy S7, as the capacity has gone down to 78% after 1.5 years of use. I still want to have it waterproof. What I am considering doing, is to;

1. Buy a Genuine S7 battery

2. Buy the genuine back cover bonding adhesive

When I do this procedure, I will make sure to remove the old adhesive properly, and adding the new adhesive in such a way that there wont be any wrinkles.

My goal is to ensure that the phone is waterproof after the procedure.

Have anyone done this before? And do you think it would work?

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
First of all, what are you using to measure the capacity of the battery? Apps don't work

1. That is not a genuine battery for $6

2. Unlikely to be genuine adhesive either

If not sold by Samsung, and ridiculously cheap = fake

In fact, if eBay = generally fake

It's possible you could seal it again if done well and correctly, but personally I wouldn't ever chance putting it under water again once the seal was broken

Here is the ROM image uploaded by Quixote78:

https://yadi.sk/d/fN5Oinvt3MwufR

But there is a problem, it has a very unusual extension.

If i remember correctly, this extension was used by windows Mobile ROMs.

So... How do you open this?

I wanna see if the Nokia apps work on LineageOS.

And the thing is that this is the only Nokia 6 version that actually has those apps. All the other TA-XXXX versions have nearly stock Android without most of the Nokia apps.

Or does anybody have a system dump of the first original TA-1000 ROM in .zip format?

[Samsung Gear VR] olex195:
I was able to completely disable thermal throttling on N4 Snapdragon (including Oculus driver that throttles independently of kernel), it will work at full performance in VR until it blacks out from insufficient voltage. But now it's half dead because of EMMC fail (not caused by this mod - It will happen to every single N910F board after ~1.5 years because Samsung decided to install cheap memory).

It still boots if I cool it down with an ice pack and works fine after that but it won't last forever. I don't know exactly how I was able to completely disable thermal throttling - I was unable to reproduce the effect from fresh install, even after repeating all steps, so every time the system gets corrupted due to bad EMMC, I flash my lucky TWRP backup with no throttling. The backup is a Dr. Ketan ROM M12 with AEL kernel 10.8 I modified to work with ported N7 ROMs.

Now I want to make my N4 Exynos ignore temperatures and battery level in VR the same way.

Does anyone know how to achieve that? Simply adjusting thermal values in kernel is not enough, I need a way to disable throttling in Oculus Driver.

edit: I found some info on how it works, could be useful if anyone else is working on it https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/mobilesdk/latest/concepts/mobile-power-overview/

I'm fully aware of what I'm doing, please don't lecture me about possible dangers.

[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] Happy Hepatitis:
Hello,

I just ordered my X820 for dirt cheap (€136). I wanted to ask you about the routine of getting custom ROMs up and running.

From what I understand the procedure is the following:

1. Activate USB debugging and OEM unlocking

2. Go to fastboot and use OEM unlock

3. Fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img

4. Boot into TWRP and format data????

5. Wipe system, caches, data, blah blah

6. Sideload lineage.zip, gapps.zip and magisk.zip eventually

7. Profit

Is this procedure correct? On my other (Xiaomi Redmi Note 3) phone I skipped formatting data and it still worked.

I don't need the stock ROM backup, lineage is the main reason I purchased this device.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] popoyaya:
I would fastboot TWRP before flashing it and do a full backup. You may need it at some point to fix fingerprint sensor or camera or return the phone to factory state in case of a warranty claim.

The procedure you describe is right, but no need to format data.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] Happy Hepatitis:
I saw a guide where it says I should boot into TWRP (yes, boot into TWRP, via fastboot) and do a backup from there... Than actually install TWRP and other zips. So I'll do that, thanks.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo, formatting data is a good step because EUI ROM does some odd data partitioning and prevents custom ROMs from fully utilizing the data partition unless they do format data (it could show up as only 30GB available instead of closer to 54GB since the system partition takes a chunk of the 64GB and so on).

Also, I'd recommend OmniROM over LineageOS. LOS 14.1 is pretty good but OmniROM is more stable and has SafetyNet Google Certification without the need for Magisk hide and potentially Universal SafetyNet fix module.

If you want a ROM with similar environment to LOS 14.1 but with further enhancements to EAS, vendor and device tree? I'd recommend SlimRoms as it has a lot of good tweaks. SlimRoms does require Magisk Hide and for some they also require Universal SafetyNet fix module.

Ps. For some sideloading doesn't work but this does:

adp push nameoffile.zip /sdcard

Which copies the zip to the root of the sdcard folder.

Psps. once you flash a custom ROM you will want to flash an updated modem firmware as it fixes the fingerprint reader when the device sleeps for Nougat and experimental Oreo ROMs.

I recommend either the Chinese 26s 05.09 stable one here

https://yadi.sk/d/woKdrlRrv8yhr/Китай

And some also say developer 466D works better for them so experiment as you wish

https://yadi.sk/d/woKdrlRrv8yhr/Для разработчиков
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] Happy Hepatitis:
Thanks for the valuable info. I appreciate OmniROM, and SlimRom, and basically everyone that has contributed with a line of code. But I'm more of a LineageOS guy, I like the official Lineage stuff.

You say that on the official TWRP adb sideload doesn't work??? Edit: Oh I see, I will try, if that fails I will use push, thanks again.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] Happy Hepatitis:
After I get the device out of the box I will update to the latest available update from the EUI updater, then I will proceed to install custom ROMs. On my other device doing that update updates the firmware as well, is this the case with this device?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo, yes they do as they include the firmware files.

Updating to one of the latest EUI versions requires upgrading to the same locale version.

If your phone is an x820 (it'll say on the back of the device) then Chinese 26s is the official latest but there is a leaked 28s.

If your device is a x829 like mine? They come with EUI 5.8.016s which is a modified vendor version that blocks updating even via the update.zip method... So that one you would be screwed and would need to unlock bootloader and then try either fastboot or TWRP flashing a different version of EUI ROM.

Sadly the LeEco official servers were down last I checked but there is a thread in the guides section that has links to the latest versions and I think Google drive backup links too.

I think x821 might be the India model but I could be wrong. If so then their latest is EUI 19s
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] Happy Hepatitis:
It's a X820 4GB RAM 32GB storage version, I ordered it from geekbuying.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ThE_MarD:
Ah cool! You should be lucky then and not be stuck on one of those vendor ones like my x829.

The easy way to tell is in your settings you will have an update checker. My x829 did not and wouldn't let me try the recovery update.zip method.

So you'll want to get the EUI ROM latest for your phone and then rename it to update.zip and place it into the root of your sdcard (/sdcard) and then boot to recovery and there should be a selection for "update from file".

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RecklessPro2.0:
Universal APN Fix for Sprint S4

​

Hey guys. So I've had quite a few issues with my Sprint S4 as far as stock roms go. I decided to install a custom rom called Vanir and try it out. Well an issue I ran into was I could only get 3G to work. 4G LTE wasn't working. So what I ended up doing to solve the problem was quite simple. I believe this will work on pretty much any Sprint phone with the issue. The cause is the APN's.

Things you need:

Universal APN Fix - androidfilehost.com/?fid=24531035584725098 - Since I can't post links being a noob

Sprint S4

Custom Recovery - TWRP/CWM

A few minutes.

First I would like to say that this method isn't sure to work for all devices but it worked fine for mine. It was just a little bit tricky. So with that being said, anything you follow from this is completely at your own risk.

So what do you do?

The Steps:

Put the Universal APN Fix on your phone. Rather you do so via USB or by downloading it on your phone.

Reboot into your recovery.

Flash the Universal APN Fix in your recovery.

Select the carrier you use.

Reboot your phone.

Go to settings.

Find your APN settings.

Click on the menu key on the top right of the APN settings and select Reset to Default

Then select the APN that displays.

Profit

You should now have LTE. If you don't, make sure you are in a LTE area. You can also restart your phone and see if that helps.

I personally don't know anything but this helped me so I figured I'd share. Hopefully anyone else having this issue can solve it.

This does work on 7.1.2.

[General Questions and Answers] KGMARSCH:
I have two MTK8735 tablets from the same manufacturer. They are supposed to be identical. Visually they are identical. Hardware specs are identical.

The old tablet was shipped with Android 5.1. The new tablet is shipped with Android 6.0.

The serial numbers on the tablets date them at August 2016 (OS 5.1) and July 2017 (OS 6.0).

Neither tablet is rooted and I need it to stay that way.

The manufacturer has provided me with full ROM's for both.

The old tablet can be flashed with the 6.0 ROM and it can then be flashed back to 5.1.

The new tablet cannot be flashed back to 5.1. If I try it just doesn't boot up at all. I then get a variety of different errors from sp Flash Tool depending on what I try to do including "PMT Changed for the ROM" and "FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL"

I have tried formatting the tablet before downloading. I have tried firmware upgrade. Neither work. I have the latest flash tool with the latest drivers.

One thing of note is the 6.0 ROM takes about 25 minutes to flash and then about 15 minutes to boot first time.

The 5.1 ROM takes less than 10 minutes to flash and boot on the old tablet.

Although they have provided me with the ROM's, the manufacturer is getting towards the end of the support they are willing to give me as they are supposed to be "consumer" tablets.

I am desperate to get the 5.1 image onto the new tablet as the 6.0 operating system is nowhere near stable enough for my purposes.

My feeling is that there is something on the new hardware that is verifying the ROM that is being flashed to it, but I am at the very limit of my understanding.

Any suggestions/advice gratefully welcomed.

Thanks in advance,

Kevin
