Jtag dead phone to life and rewrite IMEI

I had the same thing, sent it to Fonefunshop in England, they said they could fix it, the didn't even open it as discovered by the guys who fixed it and is necessary to use jtag.

Fonefunshop said eMMC chip was bad, which is not true, but that led me to search for someone to replace the chip. I found A2Z cellular in Ottawa, Canada. They got the phone to boot up, but IMMEI was null( I did this trying to flash back to stock after TWRP screwed up). They rewrote original IMEI , now phone works like new. These guys are amazing.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] A_Bad_Marksman:
Thank you all for the advice.

But I have now managed to unbrick and reflash the firmware. khawarjaved's advice turned out to be what fixed it in the end.

That was close, nearly lost £30 :)

I have been through that situation man.... So always ready to help, ??
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] shaun100689:
Hi pros

I'm in kind of a similar situation....I think I flashed MY 950U PIE with wrong BL

This phone is dead....Doesn't boot...no download mode....No recovery mode....

When connected to pc....device manager Recognises device as QUALCOMM HS USB 9008

Any way to brig it back to life...?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] tonycstech:
Your phone is connected in edl download mod. It will accept special files which will allow it to boot to download mode and let you flash stock firmware

The tool used for this is emmcdl.exe

It has to come with phone specific files

No idea where to get it. Ask people here, those who root phones. They know.

Hi so recently discovered that mms is terrible through one plus messaging app so downloaded Google messages app which I used to use on pixel and any other Android.

My issue is when accessing the camera to take a picture through the messages app everything looks stretched vertically. Once picture is take and sent it appears shorter and normal. I have disable on screen button not sure if that has something to do with it.

[Greenify] DanielCeregatti:
Greenify "went away" as did two apps it had hibernated, now I can't re-install them

Hi,

I recently rooted my AT&T LGv30 and installed TWRP and Magisk 1.6. I then installed Xposed via Magisk Manager and played with it a bit. I went on to install Greenify donation and enabled all the beta and aggressive stuff, as well as Xposed integration. I later discovered that Xposed breaks SafetyNet checks so I decided to remove it. When I did, Greenify "went away". I had to re-install it. It was only later that I noticed 2 other apps were missing, namely Xmeye (a security camera app notorious for consuming battery) and Spotify (here I was just playing around, but Greenify said it was using battery, so...). These were the only two apps I had added to Greenify.

I then attempt to re-install both of these apps from the Google Play store. It goes through the process of downloading, then installing, but at the end of the installation process, the Google Play button simply reverts back to "Install", as if nothing happened. The same thing happens when I try again, on either app. I can install any other app just fine.

I've run the latest Xposed uninstaller zip from recovery, but this didn't help. I do have a vague recollection of Greenify continuing to run in root + Xposed mode after Xposed had been removed, if that makes any sense. Eventually, after a subsequent re-install of Greenify (not if before or after Xposed was removed), it then walked my through the setup again, and is now running only in root mode. Yet, the problem with the two apps remains.

I'm hoping someone has a suggestion before I wipe everything and start over.

Thanks,

Daniel
[Greenify] DanielCeregatti:
Following up on my own post. I ended up installing SD Maid, which was able to show me both Spotify and Xmeye as "stopped". From the app I selected to delete both applications, which I could not do anywhere else, as they didn't show up in normal apps. My guess is that Greenify with Xposed and therefore root caused some file ownership issue that the normal utilities were not able to handle.

Daniel
[Greenify] DB126:
Root cause likely resides elsewhere; Greenify doesn't mess with permissions.
[Greenify] DanielCeregatti:
Yet the two apps managed by Greenify stopped working. So you're saying correlation does not equal causation? Because the evidence here indicates otherwise. Just sayin'...
[Greenify] DB126:
Correlation assumed but unproven. Greenify has been around a long time with a large user base. The situation you describe appears to be an outlier.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Ken_sonic:
So whenever i get a call from someone and if i am using earphones they complain that they can hear their own voice from my end, i even tried other earphones too. If i am listening to music on earphones and went to voice call or discord voice chat they say that they can hear the song i am listening to.

Is it a software problem or a hardware?

It has been only 3 days since i bought it, and it was okay, this problem started today.

Please help me.

[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] faagaspar:
Hi guys,

I've notice something:

I've been using a Huawei p20 lite for the last couple of months and I always used Do not disturb function during night/bed time.

I've also always used the smartphone as alarm clock ;)

However since the last update ANE-LX1 8.0.0.144 (C432), the alarm won't go on, it does nothing, during do not disturb is active.

I've checked the priorities and alarm is a priority, so it should go on and ring and wake me up :p but this stopped happening.

Do you have this issue?

Thanks
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] ghty:
Hi. Well one of the thing You can try is to clear cache memory and see if it helps.

There is a link on the YouTube how to wipe cache memory on P20 lite - but i am not able to post it.

let us know if that helped.
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] khaisttj92:
turn off device > press vol up + on/off button > you will enter recovery mode then in there you select clear cache
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] faagaspar:
Thanks guys.

all the above was tested but did not work.

I got it solved but only with a full wipe factory reset and configuring device as new... :p

Thanks again
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] dexterxda:
I have a P20 and had the same problem. I fixed it by going into the clock app settings/notifications and there, enabling priority display. The fact that I used phone clone to copy everything from my old phone might have messed with this, or maybe it was like that from the start...
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] Letzen:
Enable silent mode, not do not disturb mode.
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] Tackion:
Try this (for EMUI 8.0.0):

Settings => Apps & Notifications => Notification Management => Clock => Enable Priority Display (it was off by default on my phone).

The popup to allow USB debugging from my computer doesn't popup when I connect my Oneplus 5 to my computer, and thus ADB devices comes back empty. This is only happening for my PC on stock Rom. When I tried installing another Rom, the popup to allow USB debug option comes and the phone is getting detected in my PC. Even on stock Rom, in another PC popup to allow usb debug option comes, only in my PC stock Rom it is not getting detected. Not sure whats and wheres the issue(PC or Phone)?!

I I've rooted my phone before and it was working fine previously and it stopped being detect after OB10 . I looked online too and tried options like restarting, turning debugging off and on, revoke USB authorization etc...... nothing works :( Please HELP!!!!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Dirk:
If you have a folder named '.android' in your User Directory, delete it and then try again. If this doesn't work uninstall your current ADB software and reinstall the Platform Tools package:

https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

I've had this once or twice and that always did the job.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] swapnilshah:
Thanks will try that and update you...
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] swapnilshah:
I tried deleting .android folder in user directory and also reinstalled the platform tools package.... but still it is not showing the device in adb devices command.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Dirk:
On the Stock ROM, where you are having the trouble, does your PC see the phone when you connect it. i.e does it show up as a device in Explorer and Device Manager? When you enable MTP can you transfer files?

As it's only a problem on the OOS ROM, i wonder if it's a Driver issue. When you installed the Platform Tools, did you install the Google USB Drivers?

Also have a look here. There may be some useful information:

[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] magoooood:
Hi,

I live in Egypt and the Honor View10 is NOT officially sold here so I bought it from the hihonor UK website. I noticed that I never receive OTA updates despite trying to check for updates from time to time. When I wait for too long for OTA and it never comes, I use Firmware Finder which is NOT working nowadays for some reason & honestly I'm not a big fan of it since my phone is a flagship and relatively new so why not getting OTA updates directly from Honor?!

Chatting with Customer Service today revealed a schocking thing. I was told that I should be using the phone in Europe with an European SIM to get updates since my phone is not supported in my region!!! I told him that my phone is the international version and it was unlocked (sim free) so how come I won't be getting updates just because I'm not living in Europe?!! all he said is that he'll forward my complaint to the dev team to investigate but no promises:(:confused:

But is this really the case with all other brands or it's just Honor/Huawei?!

I'm here not to knock any brand down but paying around GBP 450 for a phone that will torture me just to get OTA updates is a thing that I regret now very much - especially that they have all their attention nowadays on their newer phone (the Honor 10), which is pretty much identical to the Honor View 10 but with a notch! and my phone seems like it was forgotten very quickly!.

If this issue is not resolved, I'll drop Honor/Huawei brand entirely from any future considerations! a hard move on my part because of their excellent hardware but I can't pay at least ~ USD 500 for a phone without having OTA pushed to me wherever I am in the world!!!
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] (--light--):
Well first of all this is bull**** that you need European sim to get updates

Kindly mention the version you are currently on.. Just to notify you, updates are quite slow on view 10 so it's like 1 update in about 2 months

There are ways you can debrand your phone and change it to US, Indian or China version as well getting updates shouldn't be a problem, at best use Vpn to overcome any geographic restrictions
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] magoooood:
Thanks for your answer. I'm quite sure their customer service wasn't right and my sim has nothing to do with updates as I bought it sim free in the first place. I was wondering if there's any way to convert my phone from European to US and install their Oreo 8.1 ROM with the EMUI 8.1? I obtained an unlock code from their website but I kept it aside as I'm not planning to use custom ROMs untill official suppport stops completely.

I'm currently on the BKL-L09 8.0.0.160(C432) - bootloader is locked and no root or any modification has been applied to my phone.

Android Security Patch: May 5, 2018

I know that there's the B162 update which has EIS + June security patch + some fixes for sound...etc

and there's also the B163 update with has July security patch.

I'm not interested to install VPN's for daily use as I'm not super worrying about privacy, but I installed and tried several free VPNs and configured them to any European country, but checking for updates gave nothing up till this moment I'm writing this. I'm really pissed off!
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] (--light--):
Well yes 163 is available for your device, u can always use firmware finder for update, lucky for you full ROM is present on firmware finder, not just incremental updates, u can use this

If u get any problem installing this just search for "dload" method and it will update just fine
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] Santi_SAZ:
Not everybody I know in Spain has 162 update, the OTA are rolling out in batches, perhaps with a VPN you could get the OTA in a easier way, but wait for a few days to check if OTA is available
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] magoooood:
I found many people bricked their device because this method has high chances of failure.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] magoooood:
I will wait for the end of July and hopefully I hear something about an update showing up in Europe but I'm still very pissed off because this model has been very quickly ignored in favour of the subsequent notched model!! I have never ever seen a company release pretty much identical hardware consecutively!! [emoji80]
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] br54:
I used the dload method on my c675 to update from b130 to b151.. Then used the system update to go to b161

As long as the dload contains the exact ROM for your phone it will work.

Other than that use system update.

HFF is useless to my phone.. Always rejects the update from them.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] magoooood:
I am confused myself because for each firmware version, there is ota and fullota and for each of these, there are three files and I'm not sure which one is the actual update. For example if I ignore the B163 for now because it's not approved yet, the B162 OTA for example has three files in it and I am not sure what to do with them. For example, some people say to unzip the update.zip file inside a dload folder and some people say just keep it zipped and put it on the root of internal storage so I'm confused a lot. View attachment 4555044View attachment 4555045
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] br54:
In the dload method you must use all 3.. But for your model

I give up on HFF... It's useless now other than downloading full ota maybe.

Let me find the link explaining the dload method... Except change the c675 to your number... On the dload method you will have a fresh device wiped off all your data.

Imho I'd wait till you get it through system... The b161 installed perfect.

I don't think HFF is official and is having problems...I deleted it as none of the files seem to work and always gets rejected.

I'll link to the form that had a detailed dload method I used and was successful with the b151.

For dload always use full ota.. With system update you can use partial.

If you want to try to force an update

Find the rom you want to upgrade to

Download the full ota.... And follow this guide

I imported my phone from the UK and using it in Egypt which doesn't have this phone sold officially. I have complained again to the customer service today that I'm not receiving OTA updates and he insisted that I won't be having updates because I'm not using a UK sim and that's their policy so I am seeing now a contradiction between what you're saying and what I was told by the customer service!
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
agreed. we get updates. sometimes SIM is needed but sometime doesnt. I got bunch of updates on my 6X from China with Indian SIM. anyways, user can dload the full firmware for updating it manually.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] Leo_83:
Hello seems like my parents are having the same issue. The phones are bought from China and are BKL-AL20.

But looking in about phone it states

Modell: BKL-L09

Version: BKL-L09 8.0.0.110 (C432)

So they seem to be running on very old version. I'm pretty sure that they got OTA updates the first time they opened the phone. When I now try to update the phone says that there are no updates. C432 is Europe and my parents are in Sweden and hence using a Swedish sim-cards.

Is there anyway to get the phones updated, preferably without loosing any data or the hassle of unlocking bootloader and rooting the phones?

Edit: I tried phone updater, HiSuite updater and HiCare updater.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
You can use dload. Download the firmware foem firmware finder and update.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] Leo_83:
Won't that wipe data?
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
In most of the cases, no. I have not faced issue of data wipe with dload but still go with backup, hisute
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] Leo_83:
Do you just download the OTA file from Firmware Finder?

I see great, now I need to read up how the dload method is done. Thanks for the help.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Dload method is given in my signature.

Oh ok. Not sure. As worked fine on Indian variant. Haven't tried on EU variant but oost debrand, i did once and was working fine.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] Leo_83:
BTW does the update just fail or is there a risk of bricking the device?

---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 PM ----------

@shashank1320 do think incremental updates are needed or could I just try the latest version when doing the dload method?
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Same or latest anything would work but as Sabresh said it doesn't work with c432 then you are out of options
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] Leo_83:
If it is the same then just taking the latest is x easier.

Yeah, but if it is just a failure/aborted update I could give it a try. Going to wait for his response.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] Leo_83:
[MENTION=6714681]shashank1320[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6943250]iamsabresh[/MENTION] so I gave it a try but it didn't work. I got failure each time. Very strange that it doesn't work on C432. Why would that option be limited by Huawei.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] br54:
Only reason dload won't work is either it's not approved

Or oeminfo mismatch

Dload didn't work until I got an approved copy.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] Leo_83:
[emoji848] How does one check if the oeminfo mismatches?

I'm from India and I got the 163 update on my C432 View 10 via Hisuite.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] Leo_83:
Could this be the reason for no OTA coming through?
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] Leo_83:
Hmm so strange
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] Leo_83:
Okay funny thing, I started a chat via HiCare (apparently they have local support because I got a swedish support personal). I told them that the phone hadn't received any OTA and that I tried the software updater, HiCare and HiSuite. They asked for IMEI and told me that the phone probably was bought abroad and thus probably wouldn't receive any OTA but that via HiSuite the phone would always get updates when they are available.

But like I stated already in HiSuite it says that the phone already has the latest software. Something that the support personal also said.

Edit: Maybe I should try a VPN on the computer and then try HiSuite.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] iamsabresh:
I tried a VPN on my phone, my PC and ran a VPN natively in my router, but the update never showed. I tried it without anything when I got the OTA
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] Leo_83:
I'm thinking that maybe they never push the update in Sweden or that we missed the window to update. Could also be that we missed previous updates and now the latest don't show because we don't have the previous version. But since you clearly got the update for C432 maybe I could try a VPN to country you are in.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] iamsabresh:
Try a VPN to India or the US, cause a friend of mine got the update in the US as well.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] Leo_83:
No dice... Still says it has the latest

If you haven't gotten your unlock codes by now, it's a nightmare using the alternatives
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] Leo_83:
Well I don't have the unlock codes but the phone is unlocked since they were bought from China, so it shouldn't be a problem to flash the software other than it will have to be a clean install...

Not sim unlocked

Bootloader unlocked
