[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] mkoz:
I'm just wondering how the ROMUpdateUtility is checking if dedicated .nbh suits to current SPL and IPL. As I've mentioned above, I've tried to use official DOPOD Herald RUU (with SPL/IPL 1.09.0001 included) and it doesn't suits my device with 1.11.0001. Why? CID should be the same and the only differences are in SPL and IPL. As it's official RUU I thought it would work even on my device with higher SIPL/IPL. When I realize that it doesn't work I'm wondering if the way with changing the SPL and IPL strings in .nbh file will do the job.

Now I think that the reason of non flashing, even with official RUU, could be corrupted CID-block after using HardSPL with low IPL/SPL. I've read thread about similar problem with Wizard. The question is: how to restore the CID block in our bricked devices? I'm not even sure if this theory with CID-block is a reason...

What do you think about such a trick:

- Run RUU on someone's working HTC device but only until the moment, when it wants you to click the last button to finally proceed with flashing. (This step is to let RUU to know that this RUU is correctly dedicated to our device). It's a kind of fake for RUU, cause our CID doesn't much the CID of ROM included in RUU.

- Next disconnect working device from the USB and connect your bricked device with launched bootloader mode

- Next click the final button to launch flashing in RUU application. If the process of CID matching was done before thit step, the flasher should start and let us flash our bricked device. But I'm sceptic to this solution. If it was so trivial, everyone could flash his device with different ROMs so easy...

I can't try this trick cause I don't have working HTC. What do you think? Will it work or not?

Guys can anyone explain the utility of the second camera??
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Ranop11:
For night time shoots low light lens
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Docxsido:
Lot of reviewers are saying it doesn't have any effect on low light photos
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
2nd lens is for taking pictures when light level is below 10 lux, for portrait mode and for autofocusing.

But in reality, the mechanism involved for taking low light pics is kind of useless and the end result is gimmicky and useless.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] 3lMghraby:
it's for bokeh effect and depth sening
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Docxsido:
Nope you're wrong. The depth effect and bokkeh on one plus 5t are software based
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] 3lMghraby:
if so try to block the other lens while trying to do portrait
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Docxsido:
The have the same focal length bro, they can't do a hardware bokkeh
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] 3lMghraby:
they can

one is collecting depth data the other is photo

also the portrait mode is limited to a distance where there is focusing contrast
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Rajeev:
Try this...
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Ranop11:
Yep it's basically useless lens. Cheap way to make it more attractive for noobs
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Michaelflat1:
It's low light camera. I can definetly see them switch sometimes.

Also has a wider FOV (i don't know why), look at 1080p 60. Although i think that is without the EIS cut-in.

Also the bokeh effect can be done by having one focus near (at face) and one focus far (at landscape), and the bits in focus at far are blurred more. It is basically software, but with two lenses it can be better.

Nobody here can reopen the authorization. Check the official MIUI forums, they might reopen them again.

Or look to see if you can borrow some else's account, who already has it. Post in the unbrick thread.

[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] Abomb:
I installed magisk through flashing zip in twrp (tried v16, v16.6 and v16.7 beta) on my moto x4 (stock boot.img, Android 8.0), installation works but when I reboot to system I get stuck in a bootloop. I installed "mm" module and it shows the installed module, so I guess magisk is installed correctly. I tried looking for a magisk log in /cache but it is empty, and since it does not even get to the "normal" stage of a system boot I also got no adb logs. I also tried patching the stock boot.img with magisk manager and flashing this, but that also results in a bootloop. Really not sure what I'm doing wrong, I checked tutorials/videos (also specifically for my device) and it's rather straight forward, just flash the zip and done. Any help would be appreciated.
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] haidermiz:
I have a backup file of my device p20 lite from PC this backup size is 15gb and i don't have memory card or USB Flash Drive i want to restore it using pc. I've TWRP installed on my device is there any way to restore from pc?
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] brandox0:
If you have the TWRP of Pretoriano80 you can connect your device to the PC while it is inside the TWRP. This TWRP allows you to transfer files from the PC to the device since it has the MTP function enabled, so you simply have to take the backup and pass it to your internal memory and restore it (if you lack space format the data and system from advanced wipe)

Aftert 3 days of use here is my experience. The boot animation logo is weird and it looks like it's flattened from top and bottom. During 1st configuration screen there was problem with connecting to wi-fi, but after logging through mobile data all worked fine(didn't have that problem on other roms). The ui looks very similar to LOS couldn't spot the difference. The system itself works faster than both LOS 14.1 and 15.1(both boot and starting apps/settings menu). Bluetooth, camera, speaker/sound working fine even after calls but I didn't check with headphones. The main problem I have that made me switch back to LOS is battery life and heat. I use efficiency mode for battery on most roms cause I don't game. But here I even used power save. Using apps like 9gag, twitch, reddit or spotify I get 34-38C. Battery life on both power save and efficiency is 10-12h SoT, where on LOS 14.1 I get 24-26h and on LOS 15.1 20-22h and max 30C. Overall better experience than LOS but battery life and heat needs fixing :)

[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] lalitkhokhar:
Hi,

My phone is stuck at boot

error boot.img

keeps rebooting, unable to boot to recovery (can only access erecovery)

bootloader unlocked, frp locked

I tried using dload method to flash stock firmware but each time installation fails at 5% and I am not getting anywhere with it.

MODEL - BND-AL10

How can i recover my phone from this state? Please help!
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
They did something different for dload on this phone.

It needs special firmware to dload

We found that service firmware for l21c432 will get the phone working again, then use hwota to restore correct region firmware
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] lalitkhokhar:
what is hwota?

will i need to keep all files in dload folder or just the update.app?

is service firmware same as the full ota which is found on Firmware finder?

and there are two type of full ota FullOTA-MF and FullOTA-MF-PV which one should i download
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
Service rom is different then fullOTA.

From the screenshot you have . The fullota-mf-pv examples are Oreo and the ones without the pv are nougat.

This separation is not allways Oreo/ nougat, but only in your example.

HWOTA is a method to force install fullOTA files that uses a modified stock recovery that bypasses version verifications.

Here is link.--( there is other hwota too. One that has more batch file script and incorporate bootloader unlock and device rebranding. )

https://xdaforums.com/honor-7x/how-to/guide-honor-7x-flash-oreo-update-t3781649

And service rom was found on rusian site 4pda.

The file download there has reached a download limit and forces you to sign up for a Yandex account. I copied the service rom to Android file host.

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.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] lalitkhokhar:
thank you! I will try this.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] lalitkhokhar:
[MENTION=5312578]mrmazak[/MENTION] Thank you very much! L21 firmware worked and I am running it without any issue.

What difference does it make as now I am using BND-L21 firmware instead of BND-AL10?

Acc. to me this Rom is better as there are very few bloatware installed as compared to AL10 and everything seems to work fine.

In About Phone only things changed are-

Build number

Baseband Version

Model and imei are same as before.

Does i really need to install AL-10 firmware again?
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
As long as the phone is working normally, I think you should be fine . But further updates will , of course, need to be manually done . Like this install was.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] XandeR180:
Restored my phone using the service firmware but the "OEM Unlock" option in the Developer Options is completely missing. Is there a fix for this?
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
Never saw that before, unless your phone in C00 or C01 (China region)

Try factory reset?

Then skip wifi and Google account, but set a lock screen pin or pattern. See if that helps.

Then share screenshot of "about phone". Block out imei number though.

Also which service ROM did you use. How did you use it. Did you change method from as described, did it flash both parts? The update and hw_update?
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] XandeR180:
Actually, my phone is a BND-L34 (Mate SE)

Performed a factory reset 3 times. Third time I set up a pattern but the option still hasn't appeared.

I used the ROM in the link you provided in your previous post (had no idea there were any others, as I haven't been able to find anything else).

Didn't change anything. Extracted the dload folder to my external SD card, powered on while holding all three buttons and the update itself went just fine. Also I'm not sure how to tell whether or not it flashed both parts.

Everything else SEEMS to be working. Haven't poked around or anything, nor have I tried my SIM card. However the only issue I'm coming across (that I actually care about at the moment) is the inability to enable OEM unlocking (not grayed out or anything. It's just completely missing).

Pictures below.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
The system number ending in .046 is clue that the second part of service ROM did not load.

Before worrying about the oem toggle too much. Does the boooader screen show frp locked?
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] XandeR180:
Nope. It just says "PHONE locked". Weird, I could've sworn it said frp locked the first time I went into fastboot
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
Alright, oem unlock should work.

Then after the reset and boot up , back to fastboot to flash TWRP.

Then use hwota, and best to go with probably b330,
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] XandeR180:
WOW it actually worked!! I'm amazed that it was that simple. Thank you so much. I'll follow your HWOTA guide and keep you posted if anything goes wrong :good:
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
I did see one time the issue with unknown model and strange build number. And hwota did not help going from emui 8 to emui 8. But downgradeing from emui 8 to emui 5 fixed it. Then update back to 8 went normal
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] XandeR180:
Actually, installing the update files for emui 8 while on emui 8 worked perfectly! At least I think. Everything looks normal so far, even the model number and build number
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
Sounds good.

So now let me ask what was the issue you had to recover from. And I assume you had the unlock code already?

I ask because yesterday I was helping someone , also with mate se. They are trying to get uock code from DC unlock, but need to downgrade first. I had guided a downgrade this way before to get unlock codes , and it went just fine. But when you had the unknown model number, it makes me wonder what caused it, and of it could be avoided for the guy I'm helping now.
