hi

You need to break the rom image down.

When you run the upgrade, it will extract files to your temporary location, browse to this folder and you will find the romupgrade utility as well as the nk.nbf and ms.nbf. Replace the ms.nbf with the extended rom version that you wish to use in this temp directory and then continue the flash process.

If you are unable to find the temp location that the files textract too, then simply flash the original rom, then reboot the device, enter back into bootloader and flash only the extended rom that you wish to use.

Cheers,

Beatsy

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] nasr345tt:
your problem not with ex rom but the problem with what rom you are use is it have ex rom open or not open if has open ex rom you can do you want if not have open ex rom you cant
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] beast0898:
PM me a link where I can download the extended rom file that you are trying to flash, I will have a look at it, and email/upload back to you if any fixes are required.

Cheers,

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Lowell_Dennis:
I was able to save a ton on my monthy bill by moving from AT&T to T-mobile.

The rest of the family all had iPhones so the move was relatively smooth for them.

I have a Samsung S7 Active (G891A). I have been able to get it to work on T-Mobile network,

However, there are still tons of AT&T only settings and apps and stuff still hanging around.

I am looking for advice as to what to do ...

Live with it?

Use a custom ROM? If so which?

What are ramifications of custom ROM (the phone is obviously unlocked)?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
If the active has an unlocked variant, you could flash the unlocked firmware via Odin which has no bloat.

Custom ROM's won't be an option if it's a Snapdragon/Qualcomm SoC since they have locked bootloaders.

I was only able to find S8 active firmware from the usual sites (updato & sammobile) but there was an S8 unlocked variant so there has to be an S7 unlocked variant.

ATTN: Proceed at your own risk. The following procedures could not only physically damage your device but also could damage the software rendering the device useless. I assume no responsibility

At this time you will be required to remove the rear casing of your wear24, which involves removing Tri-point screws as well as heating the casing to soften the adhesive. I am also in the process of developing a method that would not require you to remove the rear case but instead puncture it 4 times. More info to come

Building usb connection device

The first step is to build a device, to connect to the usb pinout on the WEAR24 circuit board.

Simply take a standard usb 2.0 or 3.0 cable, strip the ends to reveal 4 separate colors, consisting of RED WHITE Green and Black

Then take 4 standard male to male breadboard jumper cables, solder the ends of the usb cable to each jumper cable.

Paying attention to the colors associated with the usb end of the cable. line the non-soldered ends in the following order and wrap electrical tape around the black plastic connector to keep the pins in the correct order and sturdy.

Red-TP1

Green-TP2

White-TP3

Black-TP4

You should then have a usb cable attached to 4 prong fork looking connector.

Removing rear cover of watch

This part can result in permanent damage to your watch casing. Be careful as the plastic cover is very fragile

You will need

Y000 Tri-point bit for the back plate.

Suction-Cup

Tweezers

Guitar pick or other thin plastic tool for prying

Heat Gun

Start by using the tri-point bit to remove the 4 screws located on the back plate. You may need to utilize tweezers in order to remove the screws.

Once the screws have been removed. Utilize the low setting and heat the back casing around the edges with the heat gun for approximately 2 - 3 minutes, making sure to keep the heat gun nozzle approximately 3-4 inches from the plate. Avoid heating the straps as they contain your antennas for your LTE, WIFI, and BT.

Immediately, use the suction cup on the rear cover to try and pull up on the cover.

A small gap should form between the cover and the watch.

Slide the guitar pick in between this gap.

Use the guitar pick to help separate the cover from the watch

NOTE: Do not try and separate the cover using the screw holes or the speaker holes. Nor by prying the edge without forming the gap first, you will damage the plastic if you try. It's very fragile

Using the guitar pick, carefully separate the wireless charging coil from the rear of the watch. Do not remove it. Simply separate and allow it to bend out of the way.

Carefully peel back the tape and foil covering the SIM card.

I lightly scored the tape with a utility knife and peeled it away.

On the board itself, there should be a small black rectangular tape.

Using tweezers, peel away the black tape exposing 4 round gold contact point on the board.

TP1 TP2 TP3 TP4 should be listed next to each of the round gold contact points

Install apps that require root for testing

Once the watch has successfully booted, download the Advance Settings app from the play store.

Once the app is installed, if upon opening the app you experience no errors, you have successfully installed TWRP and rooted your watch.

You can now use the Advanced Settings app to reboot the watch directly into recovery and access TWRP

Thanks for the write up!

I just got my watch (haven't opened it yet) and want to confirm, I should go ahead and update it to the latest firmware before I even attempt to take the back off?

I wasn't sure if the bootloader was only unlockable on AW 1.0
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Undergroundstudents:
Yes. Update it completely to the latest firmware and AW version
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] vandal_:
OMG, did you really managed to get them rooted? I`ll definitely try that, not a big risk for a $50 watch

Yes they are rooted. Although someone needs to manage to compile a rom to enable nfc. I have all the files needed to do so, I just dont have the knowledge to compile roms
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] GameheadBrock:
Wear24 watch owner here. Is the watch still waterproof after taking it apart and ruining the adhesive? I use it a lot in the shower, pools, down the river so that's important to me. Thanks
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Undergroundstudents:
Technically the watch has never been waterproof, it is however water resistant. Also it depends on how carefully you take it apart, and if you replace the adhesive when you put it back together. If using my method and also using a watch cover pry tool to remove the back, as long as there is no damage. you should be able to peel the old adhesive off, replace it with new adhesive, and it should be water resistant again.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Skinny1979:
Now my Wear24 bootloader unlocked and rooted, thanks. Installed Network Signal Guru apk - this watch has only LTE B13 and WCDMA 1900/850. I dont know how we can add another bands.

And how we can unlock bluetooth microphone for voice on watch calling?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] bensdeals:
Pretty cool app (Network Signal Guru). However I don't think this will UNLOCK additional bands, but allow you to lock currently available bands. You'll have to use those Qualcomm QPST tools with a USB connection, like here (https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...-qualcomm-devices-oneplus-one-edition.193610/).

Let me know if you have any luck.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] bkkzak:
Do you have any idea what kind of adhesive it is?

And would it still be water resistant if I just keep the old adhesive on there but be sure to spread it around before resealing?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Skinny1979:
Did

and now my computer recognize watch as "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9092" (COM32), but QPST says 'No phone" on target port. Tried many different drivers. I think if I could connect in Diag - it will allow to unlock another bands. Becase it working with many phones at same msm8909 chip.

P.S. Played with TWRP backup and restore - received TWRP bootlop. Fix:

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] driftmaniac7:
Hey guys, I've somehow managed to brick my device while I was half asleep. Now I've installed just the UPDATED.app by using the dload method, this worked but I'm facing the issue of not having bluetooth work. I've tried several update files but the result is either that it flashes and it doesnt work correctly still, or it doesnt flash at all. I've only ever flashed the updated.app from the update.zip, but I haven't touched anything else, including the update_data_full_public.zip or update_full_VNS-L31_hw_eu. Is there a way to use the dload method of some sort to freshly install the firmware correctly? Right now I'm sitting on region C432 and B371. Any help is appreciated!
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Use rollback package, go back to A6, flash via dload C432B161 (A6 firmware for your phone), factory reset, and try update to Nougat via OTA or via Firmware finder.

You can't flash Nougat FW via dload.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] driftmaniac7:
I've looked for the B161 one, I have found one although it doesn't really work as it says "incompatible versions" in the dload method, am I doing something wrong or am I forgetting something? I'm using the one from this website https://www.gizrom.com/b161-emui-4-1-huawei-p9-lite-android-6-0/
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Which version have you, VNS-L21?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] driftmaniac7:
VNS-L31, dual sim one
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Strange, if your phone is dual SIM, B371 is wrong FW, it's for single SIM, okay, if you have dual, download rollback package for L-31:

http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=93789&version=373429&siteCode=sk

and VNS-L31C432B160:

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1164/g104/v66034/f1/full/update.zip

Now unpack rollback package, and paste update.app in the dload folder on SD card and flash using three button combo.

Remove rollback from dload folder, unpack B160 and paste update.app in dload, and flash (button combo). Factory reset and voila! you are on Marsmallow .
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] driftmaniac7:
I just did them, I think I was missing the rollback package. Bluetooth does work, as everything else. I think there should be an option to update, however I'm not sure which version I should find on the huawei firmware finder. The normal Updater doesn't seem to have an update (yet, I'm not sure if it'll pop up either). Any idea which is the most recent one that I can try? As I thought b371 was good but apparantly its single sim :P Thank you!
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
If you are now on B160, and can't update to Nougat via OTA (dont forget insert SIM card into phone), use Firmware finder, and send to update this FW: VNS-L31C432B370 FullOTA-MF-PV. "PV" is very important! No.: 80460 . And check firmware accses for your phone with IMEI.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] driftmaniac7:
I think I found that one, why was the PV important? Does it contain stuff that I was missing? :D I've also checked it with the firmware access, it seems it's working with the updater. It's still downloading, but I think it'll work. In any case thank you!
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] driftmaniac7:
It did work, there is another update waiting though, is it safe to update to the 380 version?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
You can now update the newest approved FW (for dual SIM :D)
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] driftmaniac7:

Hello,

My LG-D280N is bricked... i think... every time it boots it goes on a purple screen called Demigod crash handler, it also does the same thing when i try to factory reset it

So i had no choice but to flash a new room to hopefully fix it, THANKFULLY it does go to download mode without crashes and it does show up on my device manager as "Android bootloader interface" but even so the flashtool says port(USB or Serial) not found, here is what the phone says

[IMG="LG DL Screen"]https://i.imgur.com/TaLdeUc.jpg[/IMG]

As i was writing all that, it actually booted to android!!!! but there are infinite " app stopped" messages, it's impossible to go to settings and try to hard reset or rather it's impossible to go anywhere, looks to me like re-flashing a brand new stock rom is the only choice

i should say that i put this phone in my closet two months ago and it was fine! when i tried to use it today it was like that but anyway, is there anything i can do? I really need to fix that phone

Thanks alot, i really appreciate any help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meowstic:
An update... the phone responds to fastboot commands from ADB tools, it doesn't show up on "adb devices" list though

Wonder if there is a way to use to use fastboot commands to flash a kdz file?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meowstic:
More updates... i used a tool to extract everything from the KDZ file and reflashed the following files like this:

fastboot flash boot boot.bin

fastboot flash factory factory_475136.bin

fastboot flash factory recovery.bin

fastboot flash aboot aboot_144384.bin

fastboot flash aboot abootb_150528.bin

Now i could of have done something either right or extremely stupid BUT ever since i did that factory reset mode actually worked! no more demigod crash handlers and i also stopped seeing those small "boot verification errors" in the corner and the phone actually booted and saw the initial welcome screen, so it actually factory reseted! BUT even though it did I STILL saw the sea of "*instert app here* has stopped" which makes it impossible to navigate the phone

But for whatever reason, it's now stuck on the startup logo after a reset, well even if i screwed up badly, download mode still works like before sooo it's not much different, at the very least i got rid of the stupid demigod crash handler

I've been working on that phone for hours now... been researching on google with little to no information about this at all, most solutions involve the flash tool WHICH doesn't work so i had to come up with my own ideas... and to make matters worse nobody here has gave me clues on how to fix it which is why i give these updates, maybe all this information will help you come up with a solution
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meowstic:
Another update... i was wondering why it wouldn't be detected by my flashtool... until it hit me... the download mode itself has problems, thankfully fastboot still worked and i was able to reflash it using one of the files i extracted from the KDZ file

After this, my download mode now works correctly, it displays everything right and is now recognized by the flashtool! finally some real freaking progress, working on this thing is such a pain but finally im getting somewhere, but it's not over yet, right now im waiting for the device to reach 40% of charge before i flash the rom, hopefully no errors will occur as it has already been a HUGE pain and time consuming
