Got mine today for my LRD-14.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
I've heard others complaining about this. Personally haven't experienced anything yet (though I did just update yesterday). In fact standby drain is lesser now imo.

Ironic how this update was meant to provide better battery life but ended up harming it for many.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SSyar:
Yes., badly.., read post #22 from this thread
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] freemannhp:
I updated it from B389 with magisk. After updating, bootloader is still unlocked; just need to reflash magisk to get root back. But keep it mind that before updating, you need to restore stock recovery and use full image of B391. The quick update doesn't work for me.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SSyar:
so how is your battery life after the update..,

Hey SSyar, did you find a way to fix it? I am having the same issue. I went through Factory Reset and still having a 20% drain overnight! It is ver frustrating!

no bro.., just dealing with it with conservative usage
[General Topics] Justme2k:
So no one who knows more about this?

I would be very happy if i could at least test if they're really used that often as they say they are(where i live).

And since i could try it in different major 'cities' over here, i suppose catching a imsi catcher soon or later;)

I'm quite curios if all the pple, telling that there is a lot of abuse with these machines, are right, or if that's all nonsens...
[General Topics] NighTalon:
It would be nice if a warning icon could be integrated into Windows Mobile or the dialer to indicate that a call is not being encrypted. Read the Wikipedia entry for IMSI-catcher for more info. I'm guessing CDMA is largely unaffected since the hole seems to rely on the UMTS spec's backward-compatibility with GSM.

I'd also like to note that Skype is the way to go for true endpoint to endpoint call encryption. You know, if you're a gangster or something and need to brush off the popos. It would be interesting to investigate whether the WM6 integrated VOIP stack requires authentication/encryption.

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] lostbetweenbits:
Hi everyone! I f'ed my phone today.

It's an EVA-L19C636, that was still on B170 and never received any updates. So I tried to install the next higher build number found via Firmware Finder (IMEI check was successful).

It failed after 5% progress and since then it will only boot into eRecovery. Trying to repair it using WiFi ends with "Getting package info failed".

-3-button-flash is working

-Stock recovery is working

-Fastboot is working

-Phone is locked

-FRP lock is on

I tried to flash stock firmware via dload, but every attempt fails immediately after verifying the update (5% again).

Tested with:

-B190

-B158

Everytime it says: "Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package." The builds have all been for EVA-L19C636.

Then I tried to reflash B170 using Huawei Updater, but HiSuite doesn't support recovery for EVA-L19.

Eventually I even wanted to give B361 a try, but with that update on the SD the phone doesn't even go into flash mode but gets stuck at the Huawei boot logo.

Does anybody have a link for EVA-L19C636 B170, so I could try this using dload?

Or is there any other firmware or method around that might give me my phone back?

Thanks for any idea!

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] shafiaszad:
My OnePlus 3 is about one and half years old, bought from india. Recently I have updated to Open beta 31 by experience os. I also tried the z unleashed ROM. Then again gone back to experience os based on 5.0.1 . After some days my phone was crashing sometimes, also sometimes it was becoming unresponsive after going sleep.

∆ I looked for this issue in the internet and came to know that it is called Sleep Of Death Issue. I'm my case the symptoms are:

1. The mobile goes unresponsive after going to sleep, it doesn't do anything when power button pressed or fingerprint pressed.

2. The mobile stays black and little warm. Sometimes if battery low the red led was still blinking.

3. There is no connection to network, the mobile seems dead.

4. To wake up the phone I have to hold down the power button to turn it off. Again hold down to turn off. Sometime have to insert the charging cable, otherwise nothing happens.

∆ I have seen in forums that same happened with Nexus 4. Some OnePlus users also reported this issue. But nobody has found a sure solution to fix.

∆ Following some suggestions I have downgraded to oos 5.0.1 and 4.5.1 by urooting and going stock. the Sleep Of Death was still happening in both.

∆ Then I followed the hard brick recovery method to go back to oos 3.1.2. but sleep of death was still happening.

∆ Then I formatted all partition by twrp and flashed freedom os based on oos 4.5.1. It was ok for one day and then SOD started again.

1. I have tried Ex kernel, bluespark kernel. No fix.

2. Tried turning off doze, pocket mode. No fix.

3. Tried z unleashed ROM at first but no fix.

4. Tried turning off WiFi, removing sim card. No fix.

∆ Now I am using SOD killer app from play store which prevents the processor from going to deep sleep. There is no sod for one day now but it consumes battery so it's not a solution.

So does anybody have any solution plz help me. I am very disappointed because it is my primary device. Thank you in advance.

https://xdaforums.com/lenovo-zuk-z2/help/phone-bricked-partition-t3599107

The solution is on post #6. Copying it here.

SOLVED

Hi all,

it was a pain in the ass but i finally got it back to work..

What happened:

Flashing a corrupt image messed up the phone completely. After playing around a bit the phone doesn't enter EDL mode with Pwr-Vol- anymore.

The phone always started into TWRP, luckily fastboot was still available in bootmanager.

Another strange thing was that TWRP forgot all settings after reboot.

Nice guys in this forum gave the tip to modify a USB-C cable as it was explained on zukfans.eu, that brought it back to EDL - yeah.

But this also didnt solve my problem since that flashing process exited with an error - damn.

My solution after hours of trying flashing various Stock releases....

1. I had to reformat /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 with ext2 ( seems to be destroyed for some reason) mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p16

2. Create /system folder (mkdir /system) in TWRP -> advanced -> Terminal)

3. Flash boot.img from stock image ( Enter fastboot, connect to PC, open cmd prompt and enter adb directory) fastboot.exe -i 0x2b4c flash boot boot.img

4. Flash lastest (seems to be important in my case) TWRP with fastboot.exe -i 0x2b4c flash recovery twrp.img (or whatevery the filename is)

5. Reboot into TWRP and transfer flashable image to the phone and flash it as usual.

After formating userdata, there will be nothing in the data partition, i think you should also format system, and try twrp by hendibul which is for removing encryption but may help, or try twrp version 3.0.3.0 if both methods failed, try with different earlier versions, and remember to format userdata and system everytime with fastboot and flash recovery by fastboot.

I think you should also try mi flash which may work after formating userdata and system.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Rony John:
where can i find the link to hendibul. Google search shows zero results :). can you give me a link?

Qfil and miflash always gives me successful flash. I just cant boot the system after that. Will get stuck at zuk logo. I guess it because something is wrong with the partition table. TWRP cant mount system because of that.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] narshi shukla:
Hendibul twrp is included in zui roms, go to zui Oreo twrp flashable threads and find in post, some user extracted and shared it. If my memory is good then there is one thread in which hendibul have shared modded twrp.

There is also a chinese twrp which u can find on zukfans.eu

I dont know if any of these will work or not, but as you have already tried and nothing is working, then you can try these if it works if will be wonderful :svetius:

---------- Post added at 04:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 AM ----------

Have you tried qfil and mi flash after formating system and userdata by fastboot?

You should try every available zui. One of them should work.

In mi flash there is a option of clean everything and re lock try that.

And before flashing, boot device in edl mode.

Adb reboot edl
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Rony John:
Thanks for the suggestion. I will give it a try and update the results
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] narshi shukla:

---------- Post added at 05:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 AM ----------

Before flashing it with pc, make sure it is shown as qhusb dload 9008 after boosting edl.

After completing flashing, wait a minute disconnect device and press power button, it will vibrate for a long time 2 3 minutes then it will boot.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Rony John:
Device recognised as 9008 in port.

Tried flashing with miflash with rom version 1.9.xx. Flash was success but upon booting device turns off after zuk logo. White led light stayed ON after turn screen OFF.

Tried with qfil ver 2.7. Flash success but upon pressing power putton, device just short vibrate with an led blink. wont turn on and no display.

Should i smash this device :D
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] narshi shukla:
Well, I and most others can't help beyond that, you need to dig deeper in internet, may be someone else also got same issue and resolved it.

One last suggestion, try with deep flash cable or try with removing battery and then flashing, i have seen some people successfully flashed by this way.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Rony John:
Tried again with miflash and rom version 2.xx. success but stuck at zuk logo. Fastboot says locked now. For rom version 1.9.xx it stayed unlocked even when i chose erase and lock in miflash. Attaching fastboot page pic.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Rony John:
I found an alternative for deepflash cable. Shorting pin 2 with a copper wire can change 900E to 9008.qfil always kick me to 900E and now im an expert in getting back to 9008.:laugh: Deepflash cable is just for accessing 9008 port. Right?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] narshi shukla:
Either flash with higher version of zui, with qflash or try to unlock and flash twrp, i think its giving some good signals.

If its locked and unlocked it means bootloader and recovery partition are working, and recovery can fix system, thats what the work of recovery partition.

One thing is striking in my brain is if its locked, then there should be stock recovery, if its not there flash using fastboot, and try to install update.zip from stock recovery.

---------- Post added at 06:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 AM ----------

Yeah its just for getting device in 9008 mode, but sometimes changing usb cables works,

---------- Post added at 06:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 AM ----------

What i can see is device is completely stock now, so try to flash official zui with higher version with updater. Zip file place in root of internal storage, for this you can use Adb push commands.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Rony John:
Why is everything so hard with this device. I cant find a stock recovery file from xda and zukfans.eu. quick question can i extract the recovery.img from a qpst rom and fastboot flash it?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] narshi shukla:
Yes you can,

Also if you have twrp backup, you can use that as well.

BTW if you still don't have stock recovery, try flashing once more may be this time it also flashes stock recovery.

WiFi Issues - I am having issues with my PH1 on 8.1 BETA (OPM1.180104.010 / AT&T) on connecting to an open network that has a sign in splash page. I can select to join the network but from what I can tell it gets stuck at obtaining IP address and the sign in splash page never opens. I have used this network for many years and on two other android devices without issue. The most recent being a Nexus 6P that ran 7.1.1 through 8.1. To double check that nothing has changed on the network side I even used the Nexus 6P today with no issues.

I have booted to safe mode, forgot network, reset network settings, and factory wiped to no avail. I do not know if this is an Oreo issue or something else it worked when the phone was new out of the box.

Any ideas?

My HTC Universal says the SIM Card cannot be found or is missing, which of course is not true. I have tried with several SIM-Cards, but none of them work better. The error message appears as follows: Sometimes the phone connects to the network, but then suddenly the connection is cut off.

I bought a second-hand device, but before I jump to any conclusions I would like to rule out whether:

-it could be related to a radio upgrade

-it could be related to the SIM-Lock removal

-it could be related to a ROM-Upgrade

I am using Radio 1.18 and maxstegi's ROM 4.7.

Besides, I would like to know where to fix the device. It was originally a T-Mobile MDA Pro, but now that their software isn't any longer installed, they would probably refuse.

Hi aym_louis "big mind"!

Yesterday I immediately went to buy the spray "deoxide for contacts" instead of "magnetic heads cleaner". It was not the kind that also protect the contacts, so it doesn't leave the oil layer on them.

Well...I opened the mda pro, sprayed all over the motherboard and waited for 20 mins. I inserted the sim and didn't work....at first!

I tried after some more time, and it worked, and kept working 'till now...thing that never happened before! Maybe it needed more time to deoxidate the mysterious contacts.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] pitermaikal:
It worked great!!!

Just tried the dry magnetic head cleaner spray and all I can say is it WORKED GREAT on my Uni, which was displaying that «Invalid or missing SIM card» annoying message!!! :)

I disassembled the unit completely (this included removing all the inner metallic "shields" fitted to both sides of the mainboard), sprayed the mainboard on both sides repeatedly and quite abundantly and allowed it to dry for an hour.

On the first reboots it kept getting stuck on the 1st splash screen, so I waited for another hour, for it do dry completely.

I then performed a hard reset on the Uni(t).

It simply

worked

. My SIM card is now recognized again.

I'm on my 4th reboot since I've reassembled it and the OS loads completely, I've reinstalled the software applications I lost after the hard reset and my SIM card keeps being recognized by the Uni and allowing me to make / receive phone calls & text messages.

Thanks a lot for the hint. :cool:

Hi Guys,

For what it's worth i have exactly the same problem on my G3 device. I used Servisol Video 40 from www.maplin.co.uk which is a tape head/disc drive cleaner, and it says on the can that it "removes tape oxides and dirt". I removed the shields around all the qualcomm chips and covered the MB, let it dry in sunlight (took 10 mins), reassembled and the problem is still exactly the same, i.e. this method DID NOT work.

For those of you who DID get this to work it would be very useful to know EXACTLY what cleaner you used.

It would also be helpful to know how 'permanent' the fix was, and if anyone else has tried what I have and succeeded or failed?

Many thanks for the helpful posts, if I can get this solution to work it would be awesome. If not then it's onto the rework station and who knows what then.

Cheers,

Appy
