[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ezraiil1:
hi,this happened to me before.

i cant remember how i did fix it but try these things...

First extract recovery image(Recovery.img or boot.img) from ur UPDATE.APP Or Extract the recovery_Ramdisk.img and RAMDISK.IMG from ur UPDATE.APP.(for Oreo,its Ramdisk and for nougat,its recovery.)

#for the first case(nougat),after u extracted that recovery.img Or boot.img file,u should flash them through fastboot with this command :fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then reboot and see if works if it didnt work,then try boot.img and use this: fastboot flash recovery Boot.img

##for the second case(oreo),after u extracted that recovery_Ramdisk.img file,u should flash it through fastboot with this command :fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_Ramdisk.img Then

u should flash RAMDISK.IMG through fastboot with this command :fastboot flash ramdisk RAMDISK.IMG

Due to image,im assuming u r running Nougat and missing recovery partition so try the first method and hope for the best.

I would like to know what software versions have been released for the model ls997. Specifically what the phone shiped with and what was the last version that was exploitable with dirty Santa.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
I can only tell you that the last version that is rootable is ZV7. I wrote a post on how to do it. If you are ZV8 or higher the LS997 is currently the only V20 that can't be rooted.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] WhiteWidows:
I'm seeing software version LS997ZVD. Is that ZV8?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
No, ZV7, ZV8, ZV9, ZVA, ZVB....

See where this is going, and you are on ZVD.

Sell your phone on eBay and buy an H918. I just picker two up. One for 120 and another for 100 .. both in mint condition.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] migoblu:
I have been reading that rooting will trip the KNOX, thus voiding the warranty on Samsung devices. How long is the Samsung KNOX warranty period?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
Not understanding the question. You have a warranty period, usually 1 year. If you trip the knox bit in that 1 year, then warranty is up. If you do it outside of the 1 year, it doesn't matter, as there is no warranty left. Make sense?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] migoblu:
Thanks that is the information I needed. So, this KNOX counter thing is as long as the Samsung device warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
The knox bit is a part of the hardware. When you do something (root, unlock bootloader), the bit is flipped and burnt. It can't be undone. There may be a 'counter', I've never seen one. But all it would do is count how many times you've booted the device with an non-warranty kernel. Even if you find a way to set it to zero, I don't think there's any way you can change the burnt bit in the hardware.

There's a util on play store called 'knox status samsung' https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bryancandi.knoxcheck

As it says also, once the knox bit is set, that's it, there's no going back.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] migoblu:
Thanks, I was going to root my SM-T580, but since I only bought it this month, I'll wait to root it in case I need any warranty work.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] humanoid924:
Many users on this forum have a bricked Honor 7X (BND-L24 variant) and haven't found a working guide to breath life back into their devices. Fortunately, I found a method that appears to have fixed my BND-L24 that was running on oreo. Maybe it will work for you too. Nougat users, feel free to try this method on your devices. Just know that I am not responsible for any damage or anything else should your bricked-phone-situation go from bad to worse.

********REQUIREMENTS********

1. microSD card ---> You need one of those adapter things to access the microSD card on your computer. We're going to be moving files to this little guy.

2. TWRP recovery --> We're going to be flashing a zip so stock recovery won't work here. Don't worry, once we flash the zip, TWRP will be gone :)

3. HuRUpdater_0.3.zip --> I know there is a HuRUpdater_0.2.zip too but I used HuRUpdater_0.3.zip when I unbricked mine so . . . that's what we're gonna use. You can download it here: https://xdaforums.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279 Don't forget to thank the developer!

********STEPS********

1. First things first. Download these three files:

update.zip

update_full_BND-L24_hw_usa.zip

update_data_full_public.zip

2. Once downloaded, rename them as listed here. THIS STEP IS NOT OPTIONAL

update_full_BND-L24_hw_usa.zip -----> update_all_hw.zip

update_data_full_public.zip -----> update_data_public.zip

DO NOT RENAME update.zip

3. Make a folder on the microSD card. You can name it whatever you would like. For the purposes of this guide, I named mine "Recovery". Move all four of the zips (or archives, whatever you wanna call them) that you downloaded to this new "Recovery" folder. Then eject the microSD card.

4. Insert the microSD card into your paperweight, I mean bricked Honor 7X. Then boot into TWRP.

5. In TWRP, tap on "Install". Then browse to your external SD card and tap on "HuRUpdater_0.3.zip". Swipe to flash it.

6. Once everything finishes installing, tap on "Reboot" then "System" (I have no idea why you would want to install the TWRP app if you don't have TWRP anymore but . . . to every man his own). When the unlocked-bootloader-warning screen pops up, press and hold the volume up button to boot into eRecovery. Perform a factory reset from there.

7. After the factory reset is completed, say hello to your now fully functional device.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] ekovv:
Giving this a try right now. Will report back. Thank you so much!
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] ekovv:
After flashing HuRUpdater_0.3.zip and holding volume up, it just boots back into TWRP?

Edit: Never mind, I'm dumb and didn't press volume down during the flash.

---------- Post added at 04:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 AM ----------

IT WORKED! Thanks so much!!!!!

One error in your directions though:

update_data_full_public.zip -----> update_full_public.zip

should be

update_data_full_public.zip -----> update_data_public.zip

Any known way to get TWRP first? I don't have it and erecovery seems to not install firmware
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] kaustubhtopre:
Download HWOTA8. After you extract it there is a twrp image in it. There is also a stock recovery image in it incase something goes wrong. There is a thread here on twrp. You will come across a twrp image by sudeep. You can use it too. Although it didn't work perfectly for me. Use adb or multitool to flash them

[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] fitkidgil:
Not sure what you mean by use the service rom... I can't flash the ROM because the bootloader is locked.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
The service rom does not need unlocked bootloader.

You do need your unlock code though.

Service rom BND-L21C432

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11050483647474828964

1. Unzip download

2. copy the dload folder to root of sdcard

3. power on phone holding all three buttons

4. After phone finishes and reboots, unlock frp and bootloader, if needed

5. Use Huru or HWOTA to flash correct firmware for your model/ region.

I need help

First, I did something and now when it boots it doesn't show the honor logo but it shows the huawei logo and can't progress farther (I swear I didn't try to install another OS)

Second, I can't access twrp but can access fastboot. I have downloaded twrp and was able to access it before I messed up even more to the point that it doesn't show the honor logo

In the fastboot screen, it says PHONE Relocked but when I type in fastboot oem get-info in the terminal of my computer with my honor 7x connected to it and fastboot screen it says (bootloader) unlocked ,so I'm not sure if the bootloader is actually locked or unlocked

So what I'm not sure about is what can I do to access TWRP. I tried installing it again but it didn't work either user error or it's just not possible to

All your help will be very appreciated because I don't have money to get another phone

i really shouldn't have done any of this knowing that I don't have money to get another phone

edit:

I don't think the OEM is unlocked like the thingy from the developer options because I don't see FRP in fastboot screen, just PHONE Relocked

[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] twfs:
Hi found this thread when searching for how to return a bnd-l24 to stock. I have a unlocked bootloader but still have stock recovery because I was just flashing treble ROMs in fastboot. So would this be the way to go and then just relock the bootloader or is there just some firmware I can flash since I still have stock recovery? Thanks in advance
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] rsdnt:
Friend, an advice, don't relock bootloader.

Try looking for hurupdater post, you have to download stock room files emui 8.0, and must have an SD Card

I brick my phone when I try to flash Stock rom

Hi, my dumbass self made a mistake. I followed your instruction by renaming update_full_BND-L24_hw_usa.zip -----> update_all_hw.zip update_data_full_public.zip -----> update_data_public.zip. I renamed them to update_all_hw.zip.zip and update_data_full_public.zip.zip without noticing. I went to my TWRP recovery and flashed HuRUpdater_0.3.zip. I then restart and now I got stuck in bootloader with no roms and no custom recovery inside. I tried to adb devices but it doesn't detect my phone. What should I do? How do I flash twrp recovery again? Thank you for help
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
If you are in bootloader, that is where you need to be to flash recovery.

If Oreo:

fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk bla_bla_twrp.img

If nougat:

fastboot flash recovery bla_bla_trwp.img

Of course the two file is different for each version.

[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] joenun:
can anyone help or point me in the right direction.

i have the us variant 7x and today there was oct update. after updating the phone rebooted and was stuck on honor logo.

i was able to get fastboot but not recovery. i tried adb to reboot recovery and it did not work, as if the recovery was not there.

so i then decided i wold try to reflash stock firmware. obviously i neede to unlock boot loader to do this so i unlocked it.

now the phone boots to the unlocked boot screen and sits on "your device is booting now..."

the real problem now is i cannot access bootloader any longer.

to recap...i cannot enter bootloader or recovery and the device is unlocked.

please help

If you don't want to waste time transferring files and flashing twrp, you can always extract the update.zip and the UPDATE.APP and flash the system, kernel, ramdisk, and recovery_ramdis.img manually. Refer to https://openkirin.net/user_guide/how-to-flash-extracted-partition-images/

you will need to knw your unlock code, or there will be need to do other hack to get unlocked again
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ytim08:
Wait so this will lock my bootloader? Also does the version matter at all?
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
yes this is what is called a "service rom" it is intended to get devices to boot again. It is gonna lock bootloader in the process, but if you have the code you just do same as before. Enable oem unlock, then "fastboot oem unlock"

this rom is oreo. But there is also a nougat one available.

it will install bnd-l21c432 firmware. You will have a non correct version number diplayed on the about phone screen, but once you do the unlock you can (need to) do hwota update method, and return to your correct version
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ytim08:

[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
unlock bootloader again. same as before. You said you had code.

install twrp, and follow the hwota guide. installing l24 software.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ytim08:
That would not have worked. I found a workaround tho. By flashing TWRP I was able to get an ADB shell and dd the L24 oeminfo into of=/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/oeminfo then just reflash the stock oreo fw for the L24 and boom. Fully stock. (except the unlocked bootloader lol)
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
OEM must have been changed with DC then.

As I was following you posts it never had OEM Info changed, except maybe during the DC unlock and flash part.

I am not 100% sure or not on this, but from some of the chats I had read through, it seems possible that your unlock code might become changed by flashing an oeminfo file.

There is a hack or trick being used in one of the support groups , where you edit the nvme file . This edit will make it so you will not end up in a locked frp or bootloader again.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ytim08:
I was lucky to be on nougat firmware with old security patch. Otherwise the DC software would not have worked. My unlock code stayed the same, however. Can you link me the nvme hack? It sounds interesting, and for a modder like me, I'd like to never ever encounter this error again(lol).

[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] Sf3d0:
Hello, I have a Redmi 4x and I recently applied to unlock the bootloader.

After that, I tried installing SANTONI Resurrection Remix 6.1.0, but after booting to TWRP I downloaded from the link given in the thread, it was asking the decryption password. After googling it, I found it was the pin used to unlock the phone. I was entering the correct pin and after changing it twice from the MIUI settings, then I was stuck in a bootloop. I do not know what happened exactly, after rebooting from TWRP, I couldn't boot to the system or the recovery any more. So I downloaded the XiaoMiFlash tool and the Xiaomi_Redmi_4X_V8.2.10.0.MAMMIEA_20170609.0000.00_6.0_Global ROM and flashed it using the tool. Once the whole process is done, the phone reboots, but after the boot animation many messages from many apps start popping, all saying the same, except the name of the app, for example "Themes has stopped working", "Google services has stopped working". The recovery is now changed to a screen showing my phone and a cable saying only "pcsuite.mi.com". After installing the PCsuite, it won't recognize my phone. I also can't flash TWRP, because I get the following message in the command prompt: "error: no devices/emulators found", I think because I first need to enable USB Debugging in the new ROM. But the device can be recognized by the XiaoMiFlash tool.

I tried downloading an other ROM from Xiaomi, but MIUI ROM Download Page Shuts Down Temporarily Due to System Update.

What should I do?

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] nuudisco:
Hey guys,

I suppose I'm not purporting to have the step-by-step solution, but rather a potential solution should this be investigated by someone in the know? I'm trying to look up how to do this myself.

The only thing really holding me back from using this phone is the lack of support for WiFi calling. Otherwise, the recent phh-treble ROM has been entirely sufficient for me. I recently happened upon this thread on Reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/6yvu29/project_treble_and_wifi_calling/

It would seem that the only thing necessary to enable WiFi calling, you need a proper carrier configuration:

At first I assumed ROM developers would have to do potentially annoying proprietary stuff.

I'm almost wondering if a vendor.xml with an appropriate configuration could be ripped from a working device with WiFi calling (e.g., my old XZ1 Compact) and be repurposed for the Mix 2S.

Thoughts?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
It's possible Xiaomi doesn't have enough US customers to enable this feature in the US. I've had 4 Xiaomi phones that I've used on T-Mobile--MI Note 3, MI A1, MI Mix 2 and MI Mix 2S and WiFi calling worked on none of them including the MI A1 which ran stock Android instead of MIUI. But MI A1 owners who ran LOS did report that WiFi calling worked on their phones. I'm sure it's doable but probably not as simple as copying an XML Profile from another phone. There is no option for enabling or disabling WIFI Calling in the Global ROM. The ROM you are running would presumably need to support WIFI Calling in order for it to work.
