[Mate 8 General] lvrksn:
Hi everyone. Im having a problem and im losing my mind and getting so confused that I have to ask you for help. I have a Huawei mate 8 nxt-l29 with software versión nxt-l29c900b156 and im not getting the update for nougat. I've read that its because my cust versión and that I should change it. Is there a way or can anyone guide me though with which software versión should I install? I dont know what else to do, everyone says to install different versions to get the official OTA. which one should I use and how can I do it? Thanks!!
[Mate 8 General] nikolas60:
there is a guide using dc phoenix but you pay 15 euros to install nougat you change region to debrend l29 version and after you get all the updates together first all marshmallow fixes and after all nougat versions from b560 to b582

---------- Post added at 05:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 AM ----------

i was having same rom as you it easy put you pay one time there is a guide here on this forum of mate 8 how to do it
[Mate 8 General] lvrksn:
yea i could do that but im an enthusiast and i like a lot to change and experiment roms,i just need a guide of how to do it,that's how i always did it with all my phones,pay for someone to do it would not be very nice,but if that's the last option and nobody can help me then there will be no choice haha.thank you very much for you reply!!
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Use SRK tools, see videos on how to do with that. All is available here. You will be able to do easily yourself.

For dual SIM and better battery and a few added functionalities, go for Chinese ROM. DL will be perfect. AL is for single SIM.
[Mate 8 General] lvrksn:
the thing is this. in the back of the phone the model is nxt-tl00 but the rom versión has been changed to nxt-l29c900b156, I think this is the international version, I dunno how they did that because the phone came factory sealed. so I have this versión that I think is Chinese with this european rom, that's why im a little confused, can I directly install another european versión that allow me to get the update directly? I will see later how to unlock the bootloader that I've read that I need to do it first to install any rom. thank you very much for replying
[Mate 8 General] apat26:
Process is same whether you convert to another European or to Chinese. And it does not make any difference if your printed model is TL and you change to another version..

To get updates, after changing the version,you need to factory reset, lock bootloader, and put Stock recovery again. In most cases, you will get this all by default once you change your version and then when you upgrade from MM to Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] mechlord:
so i finally tried to root the tablet, after updated it to 7.0

something must have gone wrong with the process and im stuck. After some googling, i think basically i need to flash a fresh stock rom. I don't want to try anything else (eg. twrp) to avoid further complications.

So my question is: Is there any stock rom here on xda that i can use? i have seen some on sammobile.com but for some reason i cant download them, it keeps failing. since most people here use google docs, thats what i was hoping for.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XsaucerX:
If you are running on marshmallow(6.*) Ignore that, first restart the phone on safe mode and then do what this member said(i had the same problem before nougat) or just give the app permissions while you are in safe mode.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conductive:
Thanks for the reply.

I appear to be a bit different. 3dot menu has show system, sort by size and Reset app preferences.

Gear menu has Draw over apps. Unfortunately when I select Draw Over apps I find that all of the apps with the exception of a recently installed one are disabled.

My feeling is that I have had some time of File permissions SNFU that pretty much farked everything. At the moment I can not access files on a computer via usb and am not even able to read my SD directly from a computer.

Any suggestions on fixing hosed permissions or other would be extremely helpful.

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] panchodmb:
So, this is it. I'm running ZUI 2.5.412 ST, and read somewhere that it has a glass lens and it can compete with many high quality cellphone cameras. The thing is, that with stock camera app I'm not getting nearly the performance on mid light as i see on youtube. Pretty much on outside light it looks amazing (anyway, the fact that i cannot tell the difference there doesn't mean that it's not there). Also there are 1080@60 videos there, where the stock camera app and stock zui doesn't let me modify the fps settings at any way, the questions are mostl likely:

1) Is stock camera app the best quality option? I'm not into ROMs and this kind of apps neither, so don't know how much it would change. Could I change the fps and more quality settings with this or that is a ROM-thing

2) I want to flash a new ROM (as I read, Jaguar is the most stable) but, if I'm not mistaken, general camera quality for videos and photos on ROMs tends to be worse, can you confirm me this? Or there's a ROM with good photos and video quality that I can check out? I'm using automatic settings and that's mostly what I look for, anyway wouldnt mind having great manual settings to adjust if i want to for some specific shots!

3) When you flash camera blobs and default camera app on a custom ROM, what does it really mean? I can get stock performance on custom ROMs? Will it work for any camera app as long as I install the blobs?

4) What's the native and best output scalation for front camera and front back camera? Don't know how to tell if the lens are 4:3, 1:1 or 16:9, is there info of that somewhere?

Thank you so much!
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Passa91:
Stock ZUI has better camera quality than a custom ROM. AFAIK, no one has ported the ZUI camera app and framework to a custom ROM.

On a Nougat custom ROM without camera2 API support, your best bet is the OnePlus camera app. It does HDR, but photos are still awful. This is the current setup I have, and photos are much worse than the Nexus 5 I migrated from (which used the GCam app with HDR+).

Some Oreo ROMs support camera2 API, so you can use a modded GCam app. Google's HDR+ algorithm produces pretty decent photos. This is probably the highest quality you'll get on a custom ROM - but it's still a little unstable at the moment and I don't know how it compares to the ZUI camera.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] panchodmb:
Yes, but I mean, I saw some photos on youtube/google and also videos, my quality is not even near that, I understand photos could be taken with manual options, but the videos too? Also saw that many low-light videos look slow af, mines doesn't, but the quality is waaaay worse. Don't know what setting I'm missing really. Does the OnePlus camera app let you configure all the settings for photos and video? Or it's as limited as the stock one?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Passa91:
No, the OnePlus app has very few configuration options. It's probably worse than stock in that regard.

You could try flashing one of the ROMs with camera2 API support and see how you find the quality of GCam HDR+. I don't know where you saw videos of fantastic Z2 camera performance - it's always been really disappointing for me personally, regardless of settings or configuration.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] panchodmb:
Just saw a few from youtube, I didn't mean it's fantastic, but it's better than mine for sure

I have a nexus 5 , looking to upgrade. Good choice?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] NaXal:
I keep switching between ZUI stock camera app, Open Camera, and Camera MX app.

I guess they process images quite differently from each other so at different condition, different app (out of those 3) produce good results.

I am not a camera guru so I rarely go manual. So I keep switching between those three in auto mode to find the best one to shoot.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Passa91:
I got the Z2 early this year - it was a good replacement for the N5. Similar form factor, much better battery life, faster performance. But the N5 has a better camera and the ROM scene was much better.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] GopalKaul:
Does the ported GCam work on this? The camera on nexus 5 rocks with HDR+... If it works, this device is mine...
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] panchodmb:
Yes, but only on Oreo roms because only there does the camera2 api work, and at the time all the Oreo ROMs are on an alpha stage, so unless someone manages to enable c2a on nougat, or if you want to be using an alpha/beta stage roms, you will have to wait a bit for the best experience

So..... I'm gonna get this beast in 2 months?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] glasseffects:
Thanks for the update. That's encouraging! I would've migrated the phone to Oreo if it were not for the lack of Agps.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] GopalKaul:
There is no GPS on the phone?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] panchodmb:
There is gps and Agps, maybe he meant that on actual Oreo roms there's no way to enable Agps, don't know
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] glasseffects:
A-GPS is network assisted GPS and it's not yet possible on Oreo for ZUK Z2. GPS on the other hand will work but a location fix will take minutes, that means no instantaneous location sharing or resolution in apps.

I tried to flash update.zip using sd card and 3 buttons combination and it failed

I tried through the code combination and it worked and the build number changed to nrd90m test-keys

so i tried to flash the second file with every way possible it fcailed

so tried to wipe data and it says failed but it actually deleted my data

unlocked bootloader installed TWRP 3.1.1.0 try to flash the second file ended with tow errors error 7 and E: unknown error [errorno]

so i backed up every thing and wiped data system internal cache and tried to install from the beginning same error when trying to flash any of the two files

restored back to nougat

so wiped again and try recovery img in adb succeeded and try to flash both files failed through twrp with the same errors and failed through 3 keys combination

so wiped all by twrp tried to restore backup , restored successfully but the phone boots to black screen with back light

what to do ? i still can boot into twrp and fastboot and use the 3 keys compination to flash

Thats an odd issue if you have s-off and flash different radios, you have to use a sense rom and flash the radio zip in recovery or use a pc to reflash the radio. Otherwise disable force encrypt to stop the formatting bs. Its worked for me

Make sure you are formatting data and not just wiping it. You need to go to wipe, format data then type yes.

Go to Menu -> System Settings -> Privacy (or User and Back Up) -> Factory Data Reset

Hi! I'm dealing with a friend's no-warranty S7 Edge with a similar problem: the S7E would reboot and gets into bootloop until I go to SafeMode and let it cool down (I mean the phone heats up a lot before it reboots). :eek: I'm think about rooting and limiting frequency cores to avoid overheating.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] aditia581999:
The thing is when the first time this happens, its when i use a custom kernel with undervolt + limiting freq, and goes on bootloop. So i revert back to fully stock rom, so yeah your mileage may vary. :)

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Rayan19997:

I asked firmware number because you cannot flash lowers firmware number after flashing higher firmware number..

You were on b131??
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Rayan19997:
Alright I think this is a good point , now that you can use the dload method you need to know under which EMUI version you were because the phone won't accept a firmware that is lower or to high compared to your actual EMUI version.

What I did when I was in your case is flashing a rollback package downloaded from honor official site and then flash an old EMUI which is under Android 6.x.

After a few tries you can make it, I hope I've been clear, English isn't my native language :)

Unable to get Product ID - Honor 8

My Honor 8 broke after it downloaded and installed the very first update. Since the failed 'update' I am NOT able to access Android at all. The phone was stuck on the Huawei eRecovery screen which fails to connect via wi-fi and is unable to connect or retrieve any information from the server to update and repair the phone. I was able to use a 'roll-back' package and install the stock firmware (FRD-AL10), but since I have done the roll-back and restored the stock firmware the phone boots to the first screen where you select your 'Region', then the 'Language', WiFi connection, Agree to the Terms & Conditions, then skip the following steps for Cloud and something else - after all this it goes back to the 'REGION' selection screen, then again the Language selection screen and so on - it just loops and never boots into Android.

Thus I am unable to get the Product ID, the unlock code, etc.

The phone is still locked and UNrooted as all the other solutions rely on the phone being UNlocked and Rooted - but since I DON'T have access to Android I cannot do anything with the phone.

Can someone help me to retrieve the Product ID from an essentially 'DEAD' Honor 8 phone??

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

I have followed this 'dload' process to load the stock 'FRD-AL10 - ...C00B135' onto my Honor 8, it completes successfully then the phone reboots to where I have to select the Region, then Language, then WiFi, then agree to the Agreement, etc.. then the phone 'loops' back to the Region, Language, WiFi, selection and everything from start.

Is there a way to get past this 'loop' to the point where the phone actually boots into Android?? I cannot access the Product ID, unlock or root the phone.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks.
