Downgrading to Nougat is not recommended, because EMUI 8 is Treble supported.

That means it has dozens of new partitions and partition lengths. Many people have screwed their phone trying to downgrade.

Unless you have foolproof method of downgrading and correct '

downgrade firmware

' (yes, it's different, cause it will re-write all the partitions again), Don't do it.

I have a similar problem and I cannot get back to stock from the RR oero

I used the method to upgrade from 5.1 to oero 8.0 here https://xdaforums.com/honor-7x/how-to/guide-honor-7x-flash-oreo-update-t3781649/

Then used the Openkirin RR install method using stock recovery. - all goin good but RR has to many crashes.

I have tried to roll back to Stock using the same HWOTA method putting the update files int HWOTA 8 folder, all looks good in twrp and I wipe Cache and Dalvik but it still reboots into RR

I've noticed in Twrp in red letters it says cannot find partition /system

Rebooting into recovery after using to install TWRP it first boots into stock recovery then when i press factory reset it will boot into TWRP.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] skatingrocker17:
I purchased an ATT S9+ for use on T-Mobile. Before inserting my SIM, I flashed from U (ATT) to U1 to U(T-Mobile). However, after inserting my SIM card my Service provider SW ver. says XAA/XAA/ATT. I have tried reflashing the T-Mobile CSC (both home and the normal CSC), performed another factory reset, and wiped cache. My CSC is still XAA. Is there any way I can change the CSC to TMB for T-Mobile?

I'm currently on 2ARC6.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Incarniac:
Someone in the G965U TMB thread may be able to help you. Bear in mind you're now on bootloader v2 so you can't flash back to a firmware with bootloader v1 (for any further experiments you may want to try).
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] skatingrocker17:
Thanks. I think the solution is to wait for the U1 firmware to be released with bootloader v2 and then flash back to U1 (with sim card in). Afterwards I should be able to flash the T-Mobile firmware and have the TMB CSC enabled.

Hello Admin, I just bought a new Xiaomi Note 2 with a stable ROM. Ever since, have been battling with browsing or connecting with 3g on my two sims lines. When I put the sim in another phone or modem, 3g is super fast. I decided to upgrade to 9, back to 8 and even flashed to a beta version, same thing still happening. On 3g, the phone continually tries to send packets, but no packets are coming in.

I think its a modem firmwire issue. Please is there any modem firmware specifically for my own country Nigeria? or is there a way I can get a modem firmware that works here?

For those who are not familiar with Seamless System Update. If you have ever used Linux, you will find that it can update itself while you are using it. Unlike windows that Pops Green screen and you need to wait for update to complete. In the same way, this feature introduces A/B partition so you can update your phone while using it and next time you reboot it will be running new update.

Read this for more information https://m.androidcentral.com/what-are-seamless-updates-and-how-will-they-work

I tested my Redmi note 5 pro (Indian Varient) and found that this feature is not available in the device.

I would like to know if this is ROM specific or Manufacturer firmware specific. (Can a Rom add this feature)?

Why would MIUI not come with this when their system updates are big and time consuming?

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] allcaps33:
I bought the original Pixel from Verizon and that was a complete waste. Then the Pixel2 was released, and I bought it online (directly from Google). I've had it for a long while.

The first thing I did was oem unlock and flash twrp, Magisk, and Elemental X. I was running the stock rom and just let all of the updates slip past (updating the kernel of course) and had a few issues so I thought I'd factory reset and update the phone.

But I didn't take the sim card out...

When the phone rebooted it behaved *exactly* like the original Pixel if you had the sim card in. It specifically sets up according to what Verizon wants on the phone.

Now, when I go into the developer settings, the oem unlock is greyed out!!!

Does Verizon lock Pixel phones regardless of its origin?

I'm not completely stupid, this just doesn't make sense... Anyone else have this issue?

Honestly, I didn't think something like that was possible. Can anyone here confirm the hardware is the exact same? Is it possible Verizon signing keys can overwrite default/official Google keys?

Or will the phone behave as normal if I reset without the sim in?

Gonna try it and report back after work (gotta wait another 8 hours or so as of writing this).
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] DuckRuckus:
Exactly how did you update it, and I mean every step you took?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] allcaps33:
The steps, specifically as possible:

downloaded the original image from Google (https://developers.google.com/android/images)

I grabbed [8.1.0 (OPM1.171019.013, Jan 2018] as that was the version I was running

Extracted zip, extracted the zip inside the zip (to get boot.img)

flashed stock recovery to boot_a and boot_b (using instructions found at https://www.androidexplained.com/pixel-2-restore-stock-recovery/

Reboot

Checked phone to see if it worked fine

Rebooted to [stock] recovery to see if it would load

This is where things get a little sketchy, as I could only confirm the stock recovery was in place. I only saw dead Andy with "No Command"

Reboot to system- everything looks okay so far...

Let phone automagically download and install any/all updates through the System Settings.

Make sure I want to- and then actually, factory reset phone (I did *not* remove the sim card)

Went through the initial setup

wait for it...

At this point, all Verizon default apps were installed on phone during the initial setup (not at user request/Google Play Store):

MyVerizon, Messages+, etc.

Raised an eyebrow, went to settings, enabled Developer Options, checked OEM unlock...

As of this point I have not been able to check if I can [fastboot oem unlock]

Another thing is that the flash-all.sh script refused to work properly, even with a root shell. I made sure to double check usb debug was enabled, udev rules in place, and checked, double checked cables and ports.

I can, however, confirm that I am on OPM2.171026.006.C1

I haven't memorized the list at the Google Images (*.img type) link above, but I'm pretty sure this one is listed as the generic Pixel 2 and not the Verizon variant. I will still attempt to unlock using the fastboot method... let's hope it still works...

Anywho, I work nights so, I won't be able to test anything out until after work, waffle house, and a nap. But I will indeed be back to keep this updated.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] DuckRuckus:
USB debugging is only for ADB, and has nothing to do with fastboot commands. When you attempted to run the flash-all script, were you in ADB or bootloader? In ADB it will fail, because it doesn't recognize fastboot commands. However, in the bootloader, if it's not recognizing fastboot commands, that's a whole different animal. OTAs, when it comes to VZW are dangerous, so it's always best to just sideload them via stock recovery. They should come straight from Google, but I'm afraid that something that you did in the entire process broke that.

In all honesty, all you really needed to do was unzip the latest factory image, run the flash-all script while you were still unlocked, and be done with it. The -w in the script would have taken care of the factory reset for you, as it's a full wipe.

Let us know if what you tried worked, and best of luck ?

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] DuckRuckus:
I do apologize for underestimating your knowledge. That being said, an OTA can't re-lock the bootloader without permission, as that would completely wipe userdata. And, neither can the presence of a SIM card. I fear that, with everything that you did, as far as getting your phone as clean as possible, you may have put the device in limbo, so to speak, and the OTAs, combined with vzw's penchant for locking bootloaders, may have made it susceptible to becoming a Verizon device. Just a thought.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] allcaps33:
I totally agree with you.

I'm just completely confused how this happened...

As you said, with an unlocked bootloader, it *might* have been possible that through some kind of bug it may have taken something VZW specific... But... The OTA packages don't actually contain the entire ROM do they?

From what I noticed, they're almost all under 80 MB, while the actual ROM packages are (on average) 1.5 GB.

At what point could this crossover happen?

(The reason I bring up package sizes is that would be the most likely reason for an overwrite... I think...)

Can I probe you for more theories? Out of the box solutions never work, perhaps you might trigger ideas within the community.

Thank you very much [MENTION=8594043]DuckRuckus[/MENTION] for your help!

Still to this point attempting anything within fastboot seems to just not work...

I can get "fastboot devices" and "fastboot reboot bootloader" to work. But that's about it. No other commands issued get so as a response.

Bricked Zenfone 3 ZE552KL - This package is for "WW_Phone" device. This is a ""

I'm handling a bricked Zenfone 3 ZE552KL WW model, but I am unable to flash the stock rom back into the device.

For context, this device has never been unlocked, rooted, and always worked under its original factory Android. As told by the owner, he received an OTA update notification last week and confirmed all prompts to initiate the update. As instructed, he plugged the device to its original charger, left the update running and went by with his day doing other stuff. When he returned, the device was completely OFF with 0% battery. We figured the charging cable disconnected due to a bad connector endpoint, and the phone ran out of juice while the update was running!

The result is a bricked Zenfone unable to boot beyond the ASUS logo. It keeps crashing and gets into a boot loop.

I have tried most of the basic tech support I can give him.

I have downloaded a fresh copy of the official ZE522KL firmware from the ASUS website.

I can boot the phone into recovery, which is still the original ASUS recovery. But as I try to flash the firmware, I get this lovely error message:

ERROR: This package is for "WW_Phone" device. This is a "".

I know for a fact this is a WW_Phone device because when I try to flash the JP firmware, the error message is different.

ERROR: This package is for "JP_Phone" device. This is a "WW_Phone".

Already tried "Wipe data/factory reset" and "Wipe cache partition" from the recovery menu, but that didn't help.

Already tried pushing the firmware via "adb sideload" and placing it in a SD card. Those didn't help either.

I am also willing to flash a community ROM, like LineageOS or Mokee, but I first need to unlock the bootloader. I'm running adb and fastboot from Linux, and I can't find a descent tool to unlock using Linux is proving to be a real pain. Every tool seems to be made for Windows only.

So, I'm resorting to anyone here, hoping anyone could give me a light before we send this phone directly to ASUS tech support, not available in our region (we'll need to ship it to another city).

Anything I can try before that? I'm running out of ideas.

Best regards and thanks in advance for any help.

[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8525333:
Try unlocking your bootloader using the unofficial way located in the Zenfone 3 forum. It should be doable because you only have to boot into your bootloader. You can then flash a custom recovery, such as TWRP, and go in and wipe data, cache + dalvik, and then install a custom ROM. In your case, it looks like the stock recovery can't detect the device model (WW_Phone), so it's most likely that something is wrong with the system partition.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] Saktis_STi:
No need. Flash RAW firmware is enough.

Thank you all for the tips. If this was my own device, I would be tinkering a lot more. But the owner decided to play safe and pay for repair in some authorized assistence shop.
