[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] seti007:
Great and very helpful thread. thanks for everyone who's contributed to it. I'm trying to do the exact same thing coming from ROM Aur. Do you think I can use the same exact process is yours coming from a custom ROM? Did you have to do the boot loader unlock in order to Root? If there are no custom roms then perhaps the boot loader unlock is unnecessary? In order to install Magisk to root, what are the prerequisits? Do I need to reinstall TWRP? If so , is there a link to the correct version? Are there any other pointers that you can give me that you found out while doing this whole process? Thank you so much

---------- Post added at 01:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 AM ----------

Thanks for the guide!! Very helpful. However, Before I can even start following it, I'm running into some issues. The challenge that I'm facing is that I'm currently on a custom ROM (ROM AUR) and I do not know what my firmware build is. The box only tells me what the model number is and it's the MHA-L29. how would I find my firmware build ? The phone was purchased at bestbuy in the US.

Thanks again
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] kanej2006:
You can do the exact same process, however, I strongly suggest you follow the above guide from ante0. His guides are clear and upto date. Other guides were unclear and old not being upto date.

And yes, you must have an unlocked bootloader to flash a rom, however it is very easy to do. There are many guides which tell you how to do so. Simple fastboot commands when your phone is set to fastboot mode. You only need the unlock code via Huawei's website.

With regards to Magisk/SuperSU, yes, you must have a working recovery in order to flash either one. Without recovery you cannot get root access. I suggest you flash SuperSU as it is far easier than Magisk, a simple two step procedure!

What Android version are you on? Nougat or Oreo? Beware that when flashing recovery and root, it must be for the correct Android version. And of course if updating to Oreo, once again you will need to flash recovery and root made to run on Oreo to prevent issues and boot loops.

Do you not have the box that came with your device? I am guessing you have the international MHA-L29 version as I do, but you must be sure.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] cr2:
The bootloader (i.e. fastboot) is always locked (btw, is there an easy way to unlock FB Lock ?), you probably mean the 'USER Lock'. And the 'USER UnLock' is damaged only if you flash some random oeminfo files (which is a very dumb decision anyway).

This mechanism is documented in the USENIX paper i have linked in the OEMINFO thread.

---------- Post added at 12:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

It may be "easier", but Mate 9 is probably one of the most unbrickable smartphones that i know, because it can be recovered even if you manage to destroy 'partition table+xloader+fastboot' (the really critical parts, other partitions can be recovered without opening the phone case).
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] seti007:
Yes I intend to follow the awesome guide from ante0 (thanks for that ante). I'm on Nougat currently. After following the above method, I guess I will have a fully factory locked phone? SO, I will have to first install recovery, then root. Correct? I do have the box but it only says the model number MHA-L29. Nothing on firmware but since its a US phone bought here, I'm fairly confident that its a MHA-L29C567B183. Although when i installed ROM AUR I used the version for L29C432 and it worked. Which one would you try if you were me? Will I brick the phone if the version is incorrect? If that happens, how do i return to oreo stock from there? Do you have any links for the right Recovery and root?

Thanks and sorry for so many questions.

UPDATE-- So have an update. I was able to install oreo using the method listed above. everything seems to be working fine. however I'm getting an error 255 message while creating a backup I'm using TWRP. Thinking that my data partition needed decrypting, I deleted it and rebooted the phone. Set it up and then went back into TWRP. I'm still getting the same backup error. any ideas? The route also installed and works fine . My concern now is that I would end up with I found that cannot be backed up with TWRP. BTW. I installed TWRP 3.2.1-0 from here https://xdaforums.com/mate-9/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-t3734967.

Thanks
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] kanej2006:
^ 1 Thing hopefully you did not forget, before flashing the rom, you must ''wipe data'' from TWRP recovery otherwise you will get bootloop and the encryption issue. Did you wipe data from recovery prior to flashing? Encryption is removed/disabled when wiping data in recovery.

Glad you got somewhere at least. If it wasn't for the guide from Ante0, I'd still be bootlooping on Nougat. :)

[MENTION=2247733]ante0[/MENTION]

can i use these commands to upgrade to O as well

the only difference in the folder should be the hwota8 and the update zips for O ?

d if=/external_sd/HWOTA/MHA_RECOVERY_NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/sdd33

echo --update_package=/sdcard/HWOTA/update_data_public.zip >> /cache/recovery/command

echo --update_package=/sdcard/HWOTA/update_all_hw.zip >> /cache/recovery/command
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ante0:
If you're on Nougat you only need to replace update.zip, update_all_hw.zip and update_data_public.zip with Oreo ones. The rest can stay as is. If Oreo to Oreo you'd need to replace nocheck recovery with Oreo one and the partitions to flash. You can just use the HWOTA8 update zip for that from mankindtws Oreo flash thread.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Kiranekun:
Hello, guys.

I've a little problem... Earlier, i decided to download LineageOS 14.1 on my LG G6 H870. Everything worked perfectly, then, i decided to download the latest nightly update (OTA). It has been downloaded and installed on my phone, but now, my phone reboot only in recovery (TWRP) mode. Even if i format data, even if i flash another rom like Fulmics. It boots only in recovery mode (but i have access to fastboot mode, i don't know if it can help), and i don't know what to do...

If you have any idea... In all cases, thank your for your help.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] basicreece:
Flash stock or fulmics will fix issue. This is due to the OTA update. LOS isn't really working to well on G6 yet.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Kiranekun:
Strangely, when i try to flash the Fulmics ROM, it doesn't resolve the issue...

I'll try with a stock ROM.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] basicreece:
try flashing magisk too, helps patch boot
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] mingo_mgx:
If you're stuck always rebooting into TWRP, the easiest fix is to force a reboot into TWRP (again) using the button combo. Hold Pwr + Vol down until you see the LG logo, release power for 2s (while holding vol down still) and hold both again until you're back in TWRP. After re-entering TWRP using the button combo, you'll be able to reboot to system as normal
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Kiranekun:
Thanks for your help.

Actually, i've install (one more time) TWRP Recovery via the fastboot mode. And after that, i was able to reinstall LineageOS and to boot as normal.

But, if everytime i do an OTA update on LineageOS i get this issue...

Do you think that the solution is to put the update on the storage, and to flash it everytime an update is realeased ?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jjfgsyg:
Hi, same problem here, but after doing the force reboot still into in twrp.

Any idea? Im so desperate

[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] DB126:
Kernel controls CPU governors and their parameters. Likely some/all of the Oreo ROMs package a custom kernel that lacks the features you desire.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] linkzex:
Thinking about buying this phone. Can you guys tell me the common issues with this phone? The one I'm most concerned with is the headphone jack, does it produce hiss sound at low volume? I ask this since I came across a lot of phones with that issue. Thanks in advance
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] Domanshi:
I personally don't experience hissing on this phone. As far as issues, it involves the OTA from Vendor Roms which bricked some devices. You can check your ROM version and cross reference it with the ones on the Mi website to make sure. Aside from that, I don't see anything wrong with the phone.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] baggord:
Hi, I'm also considering to buy Note 5 and I just wanted to say that I don't have that problem with Note 4, it doesn't mean much since I don't use N5 but I think there is very very little chance for hissing issue in any device produced in 2017.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
Hi, when I purchased seller offer also a global variant for 40 usd more.

Many people confuse about global device version and global firmware that it´s not the same.

You just have to pay special attention to the bands that is enabled, the global version has more bands enabled, by i.e my version that is a non global doesn´t have LTE bands 2 (1900) nor 4 (1700/2100) it mean that in my country it can´t work on 4G (of course I bought it so it is cause I didn´t need). This is the main difference.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] Abnoiesu:
I really don't understand because my device is working with the B4 (1700) band but it is not a real Global version. :silly:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
Why do you say that has B4? Where you saw it?

Look at this info, just 4G apparted, this is a non-global version from a chinese seller you can find these specs;

4G	FDD LTE B5:850 /B8:900 /B3:1800 /B1:2100 /B7:2600

TD LTE B38：2600 /B39：1900/ B40：2300 /B41：2500 MHz

TD or TDD is the LTE FOR China, look up FDD LTE bands.

And this is a Global version, seller usually put in a red highlighted the bands added

4G: FDD LTE B5:850 /B8:900 /B3:1800 /B1:2100 /B7:2600 /B4:1700 /B20:800;

TD LTE B38：2600 / B40：2300

Differences here are bands 4 for Latin America and guess some regions of Asia and maybe others and band 20 for Spain.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] Abnoiesu:
I mentioned that because my 4g shouldn't work but it appears in the notification bar.

I bought the "Official Global ROM" (I saw it is not the Global Version)

FDD LTE B3:1800/B1:2100/B7:2600/B5:850/B8:900MHz

TDD LTE B34:2100/B38:2600/B39:1900/B40:2300/B41:2500MHz

This confuses me :silly:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
No, if your device hasn´t these two added bands definitely it´s not a global version (global rom concept mean nothing for this) is a hardware limitation although can work within 4G depending on your company carrier in some of the 5 frequencies enabled.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] stole38:
I have a Chinese RN5, it has loads of bands dudes. The chance of it not working on your network are slim.

As for the headphones dilemma, they do not hiss or produce low volume. Altho if you pair them with Xiaomi Pro HD which have a high impedance then you will notice a lack in volume. That can be easily fixed with Dolby Atmos the Magisk Module.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] crank_girl:
I'm returning my 2017G as the internal gyro sensor is wonky and it's not playing well with my VR headset.

I was following a guide (I don't think it's important to state which) to return to stock. Seemed to go well until my phone started asking for a password (there wasn't one active). I put in lots of passwords thinking it would just eventually factory reset itself. Instead of resetting, it accepted a password and I then got the decryption unsuccessful screen. "The password you have entered is correct but unfortunately your data is corrupt". It gives me the option to reset my phone but nothing happens. It looks like it's going into EDL mode (black screen with red led). I can see the phone in dev manager and it lists as QUSB etc when put into EDL mode. My problem is that it isn't listed as an adb device so I cant't flash anything further.

I have removed and installed drivers using zadig. I've removed and reinstalled the QUSB drivers. I've run the minimal adb thingy. Bear in mind that I've been flashing recoveries and roms with no issue up until now. I can also access FTM.

Any words of wisdom gratefully received.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Why did you try to get ADB while you were in EDL though? You only get the EDL connection there.

Look, two things:

-When you get the password thing you just have to format data (NOT wipe, but FORMAT). just remember that for the future.

-Since you didn't say what happened with the driver, let's see that first. Connect it, get into EDL (you can enter by key combination or by FTM then "adb reboot edl"), and when you're in EDL find the driver. If it is the Zadig driver uninstall it and "delete driver software too". After that hold all 3 keys (power and vol+-) until device manager refreshes and the phone flashes the led. After that the qualcomm driver should install itself. If it is "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" use MiFlash or djkuz's EDL Tool to flash a stock system.

p.s. can you actually flash something with adb??
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] lafester:
Lots of people seem to confuse adb with fastboot. Is that what you want to use?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] crank_girl:
Thanks both for responding. I think I've gotten myself a bit confused over what is supposed to be working at any given time.

I can get the phone into EDL mode and fastboot. Fastboot devices finds my phone. MiFlash doesn't find my phone despite having the QHSUSB driver installed.

What's the easiest way to return my phone to stock? I have MiFlash and Axon7toolkit installed.

Cheers!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] crank_girl:
It doesn't work. I only get the option to reset phone and if I press that the screen goes black with just a red led to indicate that it's not switched off. It hangs like that.

That's the other thing, my laptop doesn't communicate with the phone at all via adb.

These images might help - USBDeview showing the drivers in operation in various phone states.

First is FTM, then in fastboot, then in EDL, then when it's booted normally. Green denotes drivers that are functioning OK and pink is where it might be problematic. Can you spot any issues and have ideas on how I can put it right?

Cheers!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] lafester:
You have the wrong drivers.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
I tried to post yesterday and for some reason the XDA app didn't post the answer... Basically this:

-Forget ADB and that program that you're using to see the devices. EDL uses COM protocol, has nothing to do with adb at all.

-Go to Device manager and find where QUSB_BULK is. If it is in Unknown devices, either right click on it and try to install the driver automatically, or search for "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 drivers", download, install and try to install it on QUSB_BULK. If it is in an "USB devices" tab or on Ports "COM & LPT" simply right click, Uninstall device, Delete driver software for this device
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] crank_girl:
I've done that several times over but miflash still isn't detecting it.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] MocciJ:
Same problem with mine, below somewhere around 50% puff!! Maybe it's the hardware battery indicator that is stuck and returns values fairly optimistic about the drownage of the battery.. and maybe traumatise it like joysonx had done would make it right. Who knows!!

me too, mine can't work below 60%.

Hi

I have been thinking about how strong a online development team could be therefore this post.

I think it could be a great way to comporate around the world, with different time consuming and knowledge sparepartners.

Developers with

Android

Raspberry

Arduino

IOT

Building knowledge from a project to prototype and finish product

Testing

MCU

PCB

Contacts for manafacturing

I think you know what I am try to say.

I think a networkgroup of 3-6 persons from different countries and ages.

The reason for this are

I know if 1 person should do all the work it would take long time for develop and set in production. This would be a long time consuming work. Before a person get an idea become a true product.

About me

I am a Danish mid-age male. I have a lot of ideas in tecnologies of different kinds.

Access to

3D print

cnc

Laser cutter

and more

A generel WWW knowledge and development in different Environments.

If you thinks this sound interesting - please leave a reply.

So we can make an online working networkgroup and discuss the contents and make a brainstorm together.
