[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] mauiblue:
Thanks shivadow for responding to my post. So I downloaded one of the one of the latest versions (from the zip variant link) and renamed it "firmware.zip" I am using ADB to do the process (https://xdaforums.com/u11/how-to/collection-htcu-u11-ruu-firmware-t3612048) and I get this error:

C:\adb>fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

target reported max download size of 2399200000 bytes

error: cannot load 'firmware.zip'

I renamed it a couple other times and I still get that error above. My phone (U11) is in the download mode. Just for giggles when I type in on the command prompt "fastboot oem rebootRUU" I get to a screen that has HTC on it and says and the warning "Security Warning. If you flash this phone with any ROM that was not officially released by HTC you take the risk of releasing...." When I give the command to flash the zip file I get the same error as above.

I am hopeful that I can get this phone back to normal running status. I just need to get the right commands and files to do this.

I appreciate any and all help to get my phone back to normal again. Aloha.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] mbaseball3:
Sorry just saw all the updates. Notifications turned off apparently. Since I was able to get phone back on I can say it's not like it used to. I've tried to run the RUU which fails every time. And my signal has turned to absolute crap; constant dropped signal and barely any LTE. So, I'm no help since all I've done is get the phone on but not working properly lol.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] mauiblue:
Aloha and thanks for taking the time to respond. Well you got farther than me as I was not able to get my phone out of trouble. Tomorrow will make two weeks since I sent my phone out to HTC. I just got the new HTC U12+ yesterday as I can't go without a reliable set because I need one for my jobs.

Next time if I do unlock the bootloader on any phone I will figure out how to do the process of rooting, updating, and not bricking the phone.

I hope you sort things out with your phone.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] mbaseball3:
I'm not sure about getting further when it feels messed up still, ha. Yeah I get ya though, had the same experience freaking out that I wouldn't have a phone for work. Fortunately I had my cracked screen m10 that served as a backup until I was able to get the u11 to boot. I swear the last phones I rooted were less hassle than these more complex devices. Hope HTC can get it figured out for you.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] mauiblue:
I agree that the past phones were not so hard to unlock, root, update, and tweak. Now with the U12+ dual A/B slot partition and multiple files that are needed to root the phone it can be overwhelming.

I'm sure HTC will be able fix the phone but at what cost? I'm just waiting it out and hoping for the best.

Aloha!

I use Opera mini and i going crazy about those Security Warnings when i open Opera-mini, same for Gmail etc. Is there some tweak or something so i don't have those warnings when i start Opera-mini? I use it in combination with Jbed.

I have the same problem with GMail and various other midlets. I'd love to find a fix too.

The recently released Opera Mini 4 beta is available as a 'signed' version which addresses the issue.

Do you have an link to that version? I have downloaded the one from Opera itself but that one has the same problems.

Go to http://mini.opera.com/beta/ on your phone and download the high memory version (multiple certificates).

Hi,

newbie question here since this is my first "more modern" Android (had Gingerbread before):

When I install app by .apk there's this 'Run in background' toggle along with the permissions settings. What does this toggle do, and I guess more importantly how do I change it afterward, as I might have selected the wrong direction for some of the apps I have installed.

Thanks,

I accidentally deleted my OS through TWRP recovery while I was trying to clear the cache. Now the device is stuck at the Xperia logo and I can't even access TWRP anymore. I can't get flashtool to recognize my device either. :/

I did this: xperiastockrom.com/flash-sony-xperia-stock-rom (Sorry can't post links yet)

but I can't even turn my device off .. it's just stuck on the Sony Logo

So everything was fine till Step 11

Someone can help me? Or is the phone lost for ever?

[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] rafaelsartori:
i have come from another device with lineage os, and since i come to miui i cant see my contacts pictures.

all my contacts were sucessfully imported but i used to have a lot of pics showing on dialer contacts/recent list, and now i cant see any contact photo. is there a fix or workaround for that?

***this issue happen on MIUI9 and today i have updated to MIUI10 and it persist.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] metelhammer:
Turn on contact > tap three dots at top > settings > Display photos and info.

if this does not shows contact photos try installing google phone and contact apps from play store and see if it fixes your issue.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] rafaelsartori:
its already enabled.

about installing google apps, also tried (used the patched one, once the official isnt compatible).
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] metelhammer:
Not sure why they didn't synchronized despite using Google phone and contacts apps.

Have you tried changing default phone and dialer app to Google and synchronized it again with restart your device.

If this doesn't works you'll have to set pictures manually and it's quite hectic.

In MIUI they look very small in circle.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] csetera:
I actually have an unlocked S8 on Verizon, but I think the question is generally applicable to all of the firmware versions.

I recently switched from AT&T to Verizon. While the switch has been great in general, it has lead to low signal in our basement where my office is located. While calls/texts seem to work in the basement, I'm noticing reduced battery life due to the reduced signal.

I picked up a (3G) Network Extender to try to improve the situation, but it seems to behave differently than I would have expected. I wasn't thrilled to have to disable VOLTE in order to use the extender at all (since it isn't the LTE version), but the bigger issue is that it *seems* like the device is still using the cell towers except when there is an actual incoming or outgoing call. Is that correct? What does that mean from a battery usage perspective?

In the end, I'm trying to figure out whether there is any real value in using the extender if it doesn't improve battery life? Can anyone comment?

Thanks,

Craig
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] rhricik447:
The 3G extender only routes when there is data going to or from your phone (phone calls). You should see a little icon indicating that you are connecting to the extender. I had 2 of the 3G extenders, neither did anything to help my cellphone battery. I also had continuing issues with losing the GPS sync signal almost daily, even with the external antenna connected and outside away from the house. Verizon has also said that they are "retiring " 3G at the end of 2019 in my area. I bought their new 4G extender, and it works like a miniature cell tower - phone is always connected to it when in range, and it does seem to help with the battery life. Data / messaging / VOLTE works *much* better. Best of all, GPS lock has been solid with no drops at all. If you bought the 3G extender from a Verizon store, take it back and get the 4G instead - works sooo much better!

This is good to know. I actually bought this off of EBay for cheap, so I can't easily swap it out. At that point, I didn't understand the behavior of the device and phone.
[T-Mobile LG G4] onikett:
Hello, I have the LG G4 H811 (S/W: V10d, written on back of the phone) version. After buying the phone, I tried to update to marshmallow from lollipop using LG Bridge as the automatic update wasn't coming to my phone. After the process was apparently completed my phone isn't turning on anymore. Tried power button, volume up+down+power etc. But not working. no charging sign.

When connecting the phone to pc through usb, most of the times it doesn't find anything ("unknown usb device" or something). Once in a while it finds as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLOADER 9008" in device manager. ( P.S. It finds as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLOADER 9008" if I remove and insert the battery for the first time)

Now I've surfed the net for a few hours and found various potential solutions. Was trying this solution first: boycracked dot com/2016/08/04/how-to-unbrick-updates-firmware-flashing-any-lg-android-devices-using-kdz-updater-tools/

(Can't copy direct link being a new member. please replace the "dot")

But the method is not working. Showing "extract file error" when i select the .kdz file and click "launch software update"

Should I try this method: androidmtk dot com/use-qualcomm-flash-image-loader-qfil

By the way, Do I need a specific .kdz file (stock firmware) for the V10d variant? If so, I haven't found it after searching for hours and was trying different .kdz files (all for H811 though). If I need the specific file please give me some link where I can find it. So far the model number(H811) isn't matching when i find a V10d version.

I'll try to use the SD card fix once I manage a card and card reader: forum dot xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/general/lg-g4-h811-complete-unbrick-guide-100-t3461629

Still I would need the specifc .kdz file I guess for V10d version??

Also if possible please give me the link to a method which is apparently most successful as it seems to be a old problem.

My phone is virtually brand new and am feeling a bit helpless. Please help me by giving some effective solutions. Thanks in advance.

Update: FWIW I followed this link: forum dot gsmhosting.com/vbb/f779/unbrick-lg-g4-brick-hs-usb-qdloader-9008-without-box-2211744/

I apparently succeeded in finishing the operation (didn't use jumper method. Pressed volume up+down method)

But after it showed "succeed", nothing seems to have changed. But seems like the phone is shown as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLOADER 9008" every time I connect it to PC. Before doing this operation, I had to remove battery and insert again to show it that way. Otherwise it showed "unknown usb device"

But seeing that nothing substantial happening, i tried to follow the same process again. But this time it showed error "Unable to download flash programmer using Sahara protocol"

I don't know what's happening, but just describing the process so that it might be easier for experienced guys to understand.

Why not just use LGUP to flash the Android 6.0 Marshmallow .kdz as a "Referb" and be done with it?

Get the Android 6.0 Marshmallow .kdz for your phone model here:

http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G4/

Look for T-Mobile H811.

Get LGUP here. LGUP is better than the LG Flash Tool (IMO) and it's easier to use. Don't let the instructions deter you. It's simpler than it looks.

https://xdaforums.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803

Instructions:

1. Connect USB cable to PC.

2. Power off phone and then hold Vol. Up while connecting the USB cable to phone.

3. Your LG G4 should now be in Download Mode.

4. Start LGUP.

5. It should detect your phone. If it does, you will see something like this:

6. Select "Upgrade" and then use the "...." to select the .kdz for your phone.

7. Now decide if you want to do a full wipe and flash (Refurbish), or upgrade to a higher version of Android (Upgrade) and keep all of your files and settings.

8. Hit "Start" and wait for it to finish. It may restart your phone a few times. Be patient.

9. You can check the percentage under "Progress".

10. It will let you know when it's done.
[T-Mobile LG G4] onikett:
Which H811 version should I use? As I asked do I need to use the specific version my phone had before being bricked? (I don't remember which but the default version written on the back of the phone is V10d)

LGUP couldn't detect my phone. I can't remember if I used volume up when connecting but I've tried similar things when trying to different softwares and it wasnt working.

I've given it to a repair shop. After they removed the battery and plugged in two wires from some device to the back of the phone it did turn on but the lg logo came and showing probably error 1006. The repaired said the phone isn't coming to the 'download mode'.

Then they initally tried downloading some h811 dump file and installing it. But failed. Now they're saying they'll need to use JTAG box to fix it.
[T-Mobile LG G4] onikett:
I just remember now, after buying the phone from some guy, I factory reset it. Now when I opened chrome, some att dot com website was showing as default homepage. That website started loading by default. What does it mean???

Does it mean the phone already had at&t(H810) firmware installed? But when powering on the phone it shows T-mobile logo and H811 is written on the back of the phone(after popping out the back cover) multiple places.

The repairer says the phone is refurbished( (I also think so). So two things can happen:

1. The motherboard was originally H811 but a H810 motherboad and H810 firmware were installed on the phone upon refurbishment. In that case why would it show the T-mobile logo when the phone starts?? Also it showed "H811" in Android (About Phone>>Model number)

2. The motherboard is still H811, but somehow H810 firmware was installed on the phone. Is it possible??? If it is then when I tried to do official update using LG Bridge, maybe LG Bridge thought the phone firmware is H811 and tried to install H811 firmware over a H810 one and the phone got bricked.

What do you think guys?? Any expert suggestion will be highly helpful... As I do feel like knowing which installing the proper firmware(H810 or H811) will take the phone back to life.

Sounds like a Frankenstein device. You can't recover it with using the wrong files. Jtag or not.

Identify the real model first (mainboard FRONT)
[T-Mobile LG G4] onikett:
So I've to install the firmware(.kdz) according to the model no. written on the motherboard, no matter what other firmware was installed when the phone was running?

Another question, when running normal, it showed "H811" as model number in "About phone" section. Is it possible that the motherboard is NOT H811 but a H811 firmware was installed on it during refurbishment?

Btw, where is the model no. written on the mainboard? Here's a link of the phone teardown: https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/LG+G4+Teardown/42705

Frankenstein is what we call a device which is refurbished in a hackish way:

https://xdaforums.com/g4/general/unlock-unlock-lg-g4-device-usu-t3760451/post75817533

---> FAQ 21

So yes I can even let your device say it's an iPhone in android settings, download mode or almost anywhere. It's just code. And yes it's easy.

You can also just flash parts of another ROM if you know how and what so it does not brick or blow fuses. Dangerous when you don't understand how the g4 works internally but the refurbish ppl know what they do to fake the device enough so the average one do not see a diff.

You just have to follow that link in the above FAQ 21 and disassemble the mainboard and on the front you will see it.
[T-Mobile LG G4] onikett:
Thanks.

1. Do I have to use the .kdz compatible with the actual model number written on the mainboard?

2. Should I use LGUP procedure mentioned in an above post (by Gurren Lagann)?

2. How to know what version of .kdz do I have to install? I heard if the installed version is a downgrade from the actual version (before the phone was bricked), it will not work.

3. If LGUP can't detect my phone due to it being totally hard bricked, what procedure should I follow to install the new .kdz?

I'm not an expert on the intricacies of Android OS. So please answer the questions elaborately.

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Sucharek96:
Hi, I've got problem with my huawei p9

I really wanted an update to a newer build, so i used firmware finder using app proxy to download it before it will show in system updater. Installation went fine but after all i noticed two things: gps is not working - it shows place where i was two weeks ago as my current location and apps from google play to repair this aren't working - and the second problem is my build number. Instead of EVA-L09C150B385 which this update supposed to bring, it is NRD90M test-keys

And my question is that: Is it possible to reverse the update? And if not is it possible to somehow easily flash stock rom to this phone. The device has stock recovery, locked bootloader and was never rooted (and if possible I would rather prefer to keep it in that state)

I've heard about some method using the sdcard but at the moment i don't have big enough at home, so is there any other way?

Previously I was using LG smartphone and it could easily be fixed using LG flash tool

Is there some kind of similar app for huawei?

I know that google isn't biting and that there were similar threads before, but neither one of them really answers my questions and most of them are more about devices with custom recovery or/and root :rolleyes:

I would suggest following the debranding method with downgrading to old Android and then install newer version on top.

https://xdaforums.com/p9/how-to/guide-debranding-to-c432-updating-to-t3551523

You will need the bootloader unlock code.

Of course because of unlocking the bootloader, your device will be wiped so make sure you will have a backup of your data
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Newkeebrown:
As [MENTION=391790]edmun[/MENTION] says above, I'd rebrand your phone and then update from there. You must get an SD dude, I can't do without mine.

Once rebranded, use the following tool (all instructions are there) to get to the latest version. I got stuck on NDR test keys at the weekend and used this tool to roll-back and update.

https://xdaforums.com/p9/development/rebrand-update-tool-hwota7-p9-eva-t3820849

You can always relock your bootloader and remove root once you've finished.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] edmun:
As far as I remember, if you will follow the "debranding" manual, at the end you will have bootloader locked.

The debranding method does not root the phone, so no need to "un-root" afterwards.

In my opinion, that is the easiest and cleanest way to restore the phone to a clean genuine software

What Newkeebrown suggested is to rebrand the phone to P9 China which will allow you to install Android 8.0 (Oreo).

Unfortunately, at this moment, I can't confirm whether it is a good idea as I am quite too busy to test this method (it would involve of course backup and restore which takes around half a day for me)
