[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] franzschenk:
Can't downgrade my Honor 5x from B370 to B350, which is obviousely required before flashing Lineage OS.

- A lot of Guides write that the downgrade should be performed with the Android Update App, then choosing "local update". This doesn't work, because this "local update" menu option is no longer available on B370 Firmware.

- Other Guides write to put the "update.app" file with the old B350 firmware in a dload folder on the SD card, then to restart the phone by pressing both volume keys and power key at the same time. When I'm doing that, the package is verified, then the installation starts, stuck for about 2 minutes at 5%, then the phone reboots without any message, and nothing happened. The Honor 5x is still on B370.

Any advice? Have tried different B350 Packages from different sites. Has anyone a link to a B350 (or to another old Firmware that works for a Linage OS installation) that is proved to work for downgrading B370 on KIW 21? Thank you all in advance for any help.

Thank You!

So what is the recommended upgrade procedure for installing Lineage OS on Honor 5x with Stock FW B370?

1. Flash Lineage OS over B370

2. Flash this Patch

or is it the other way round?

It's disappointing that there is not anymore any guide that works. It's impossible to flash any older Honor 5x stock firmware version. It doesn't work with the Honor update program (local update option is no longer available), it doesn't work with power+Vol-Up+Vol-Down (phone reboots at 5% without installing anything), and it's also not possible to flash a Honor firmware zip with TWRP (Error 7).

What's intresting is that only Lineage OS warns that a VoLTE FW like B370 has to be downgraded before installing Lineage OS. All XDA developer sections for all the other custom ROMs don't mention that a VoLTE FW has to be downgraded before installing the custom ROM.

- Has anybody successfully installed a custom ROM on a Honor 5x without downgrading the VoLTE FW before?

- Is this downgrade only required for installing Lineage OS, or is it also required or recommended for installing any other custom ROM?

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] rodolphe06:
×You need twrp first, custom recovery then before anything backup nandroid first then follow normal custom rom flash processus and for volte it seems you need to flash patch after ROM.

If it boot bingo, then flash gapps, magisk whatever you want.

×Los say it but it is known for every ROM

×Seems [MENTION=6744703]lineu94[/MENTION] giving the patch has successfuly used it.

BUT: some say to not flash what you dont know.

Im not responsable for what will happen.

Nore lineu94 giving the patch.

May be PM him to know where he got patch from who......

If it works, give him credits and thank him for useful comment and zip
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] franzschenk:
Thank you all for your help.

The patch file that you mentioned is for a Honor 8 device.

In XDA Forums, there are at least three threads that describe how to downgrade a Honor 5x from B370 to an older firmware with the three different methods that I have all tried and described here, and not one of them works in my case. My Honor 5x is my primary phone, and my old Galaxy S3 is used by my wife. Since there is not one documented description that works, it's too risky to me to install Lineage OS or any other ROM. I can not take the risk to break my device because I'm using it.

Will stay on B370 stock FW and live with a laggy device and the problems (Exchange Email and Bluetooth) and the missing security patches.

I'm very disappointed from Honor: They promised functional updates for at least two years and security updates even longer. That was one of the main reasons why I have bought the Honor 5x. If Honor wouldn't have lie to their customers, we would have Andoid 8 on our device today. Instead, we have Android 6 with the last security update from March 2017. My next device will be anything other than Honor or Huawei.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] franzschenk:
Took the risk to flash Lineage OS after a successful Bachup from TWRP recovery to the SD card., and was finally successsful! But it was a lot of "try and error". What worked for me:

1. Performed factory reset in TWRP, and cleaned dvalik/cache, Then, I flashed Lineage OS, the ZIP file that was mentioned here and open Gapps in this order. Then performed factory reset and clean dvalik/cache.

2. The phone restarted, but landed in some kind of Huawei Recovery. Could restart the phone several times, always landed in Huawei recovery.

3. Rebooted the phone with pressing both volume keys and the power key at the same time. It booted into TWRP recovery.

4. Reflashed Lineage OS and Gapps again without the ZIP file. Performed facory reset again.

And hurra, the Honor x booted in Lineage OS
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] donlecho:
Does It still working for you? I will try to do this on b360 firmware
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] franzschenk:
Yes, I'm on Lineage OS and the 5x is still much faster and I like the features.

But there is no more Development for the Honor 5x. According the Honor update promise, our device should be on Oreo today. And Huawei and Honor just stopped releasing unlock codes for the bootloader. It's very important that customers that want to use their device for more than one year stay away from these two brands!
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] donlecho:
I also succeeded to install Lineage OS on B360, all what we must to do is install again from TWRP. Everything is working

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] ogrillion:
Hey Guys

So only have had my 5t for about a week, excellent battery life compared to my Galaxy S7, but I feel standby drain could be better.

I noticed in better battery stats - kernel wake lock my biggest wakelock is always hal_bluetooth_lock. I do use a smart watch so maybe this is unavoidable but I can't really find any information about it.

I am using beta 3 rom, rooted with magisk and running stock kernel. Only using the background YouTube module, adaway and better battery stats.

Partial wakelocks are nothing unusual. Alarms are typically Android system, Google play services at the top.

Thanks

I did root by following instructions from this thread.

I just noticed that Netflix is no longer working.

I was wondering if anyone has successfully installed Magisk on the Verizon Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900V) or any other suggestions to get apps like Netflix to work properly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkensx:
first off what rom are you on? and or android version. 2nd are you using the latest version of Netflix? third what is the exact issue you are having with Netflix? (errors, etc..)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artfrey:
Netflix blocks rooted devices now. Apparently you have to run something to hide the fact that you are rooted.

I have heard you can do this with Magisk

I am really thinking about unrooting now but i don't know how.

also, i accidentally posted this under general and should have posted it under Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkensx:
magisk has an uninstaller zip you flash via twrp however im not 100% sure if it works correctly due to odexed rom as xposed has this issue as far as installing or uninstalling.

you could try this : https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-netflix-enabler-enable-netflix-t3708126 might help.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artfrey:
That's what I wanted to try but I dont have magisk installed and I was wondering if anyone had successfully installed magisk on the SM-N900V and could give me some help for a smooth install
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkensx:
assuming you have not tried to install magisk:

if you have the bootloader unlocked and are on lollipop or below bootloader (in case it relocks doubt that it will) and not just safe strapped and have TWRP or a custom recovery installed i'd say make a full backup via recovery and then attempt to install magisk the usual way and if you hit a snag or bootloop restore the backup and reach out to the official magisk thread for getting it installed..magisk thread: "Magisk" best i can suggest as it seems these threads are like a ghost town a lot of the time. lol

Hey guys so recently my Pixel 2 has been draining battery and I don't know why. I feel as though this had started happening right after the February 5 security update but i don't know if that makes sense... Any ideas on what could be causing the drain in battery? I have a screenshot to show you guys that Android System seems to be causing the issue. I have wifi scanning off too which I have seen can affect battery

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] leany3:
Hello! I bought elite 3 x722 and it comes with android 6- 5.8.020S shop rom., at first I didnt notice it because it comes with playstore and some other google features. I'm happy with phone but It doesnt allow me to upgrade at least for android 7 and the keyboard for messages is only in chinese or english tho' it has many languages to work with the phone. I've been reading you guys and I have watched some videos on youtube warning about Not Use Shop Roms, about this stealing our passwords thro' the apps etc. and Im scared. The thing is: apparently the official rom 5.9.026s comes with bugs, I've read lot of complains about people installing roms and the phone bricked then. My knowlodgment about phones is 0 so the tecnical language is being a pain in the ass for me to understand.. Want to kindly ask you what Rom for x722 Elite should I install. And how. And in a simple language language because Im a big noob

ps: sorry for my bad english
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] sk8223:
I'm on the 20s shop ROM from Banggood right now. I don't have an issue. As for privacy concerns, I can see where you're coming from. But the most you should be worried about is adware. You can uninstall LeEco bloatware apps via adb. See this post: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75670844&postcount=2

You should be more afraid of the NSA than some random Chinese companies that resell phones, lmao

As for installing a custom Nougat ROM, you can do that. Head over to the LeEco x722 development section. Hit the URL in my signature to learn how to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom ROM. Since you're on 20s, you'll be able to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom ROM easily. Read the sticky thread about the x722 in this forum before proceeding.

Stay away from official or stock 26s if you're interested in rooting your phone. Modded or custom 26s is fine.

Finally, this thread shouldn't exist because it asks some very basic questions. You should have read through this entire forum before making it. Please don't create threads without doing your research first. If you try that in other sub-forums, your threads will be removed or ignored.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] leany3:
thanks! I know these were dumb questions. I have read other topics trust me, but in the end I had the same doubts: 'so which rom should I install? which one is best?' because I always read stuff that worries me. But I dont like the shop rom. I even only get between 1.8- 2.1G out of 4G
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] sk8223:
Unused RAM is wasted RAM. That's what anyone who knows remotely anything about computers will tell you. And smartphones are just tiny computers. If you're experiencing app refreshes (going into an app restarts it) then it's probably the LeEco bloatware apps needlessly hogging memory in the background.

There's a phone code you can try in the stock LeEco dialer to turn off memory optimization or something like that. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/xdaforu...-to-past-notification-issue-eui-t3497530/amp/

As for which ROMs is the best, that's up to you to research for yourself.

[IMG="test photo"]https://i.imgur.com/EDQ69BL.jpg[/IMG]
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
Try downloading Camera FV-5 which has manual focus and see if the focus changes. If not, I'd think the camera module would need to be replaced. I've heard of this happening to phones after a drop.

There's a setting, I think in the viewfinder settings, that when checked will bring up a close view for manual focusing. It'll make it easier to see.

This question was asked some time ago but I can't find the thread.

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] OsniNO:
I'd like to use a kernel because this app cancels fingerprint unlock after four failed attempts (system checks fingerprint authentication even if it's not necessary).

I'll try it for some days, maybe it's not a big problem.

You can use EX kernel according to your Android version. Or Frostbitten kernel if you are on Oreo based roms. These kernels will make u our fingerprint as home button.

No issues here as well with Oreo 8.1. And I use the phone quite much. You should always keep in mind that any reports of malfunctions can also be linked to wrong use, wrong expectations or understanding of certain functionalities, or issues during the flashing procedure. The latter will not occur if you do an OTA upgrade. You find such reports and posts in every device section, except Apple iPhone forums because for iPhone users any bug is a feature by nature ... ?

I have a few issues with Oreo 8.1 but not anything that is show stopping. Wifi in certain apps will be slower than using cell data and I have the blue tooth automatic connectivity issue. Both have been reported to Essential and I look forward to the OTA update, hopefully soon.

As an aside, it's real easy to side load your phone, just follow directions or go to YouTube for vids.
