Use the Google Cam instead. In portrait mode it uses the f1.5 lens, which results in much better portraits than in live focus mode (and flash).

[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] ginoseg:
I have an Honor 7X and it has caused me incredible amount of stress and waste of time trying to get Oreo. I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT.

I had been trying to use the software updater to check for Oreo for months and it always said I had the latest software - which isn't true. I also used Hi Suite to no avail. I just registered my phone with Huawei and it updated. I am not sure if your third phone is unregistered, but make an account with them and check. I wasted so much time, bricked my phone, paid for DC Unlocker, tried to flash Oreo stock etc... finally I have it the legitimate way.

Now, the next thing I would like to do is install an Oreo custom rom - but I am not paying more money to DC Unlocker. If anyone wants me account details for the DC Unlock to recover their bricked phone, I have 2 days left and will provide info.

I mean, I know of 2 really easy ways to update to oreo, it isn't very hard...

1. You can use hurupdater and download full ota of oreo and flash it

2. You can use firmware finder app and have it update through dns and whatnot

That looks reall promising.

Also my BL locked honor 7x has the ancient version B101 !! Thats the version which it comes with.

Tried several things and didn't managed it to update to oreo (Firmware FInder with DNS & Proxy, Factory reset, ...)

Your approach sound promising.

Did you register the phone on www.hihonor.com ?

When you register the phone, did you wait some time before checking for system update again?

Thank you

pOpY

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

Thanks for your suggestions!

I am also stuck @ B101 version since ages (12/2017).

1. hurupdater just works if BL is unlocked. I have no BL unlock and also will leave it as it is :o

2. This approach does'nt either! Have tested DNS & VPN method, the device is seeing the update but always states "Update Package error" (just from mind, did'nt remind me of the correct message)

Have tested this with several packages where FF always states that it is approved.

So the OPs approach seems maybe an solution/workaround.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] ginoseg:
The update was immediate after I registered. However, I have thought about the process I took.

I tried several times using various methods of updating to oreo... and finally I bricked the phone.

I then downloaded DC Unlocker and paid to unbrick the phone and tried to flash official stock rom for Oreo. It didn't work.

I then flashed official stock raught rom and the phone unbricked. I made an account with huawei and registered the phone. Immediately the update for oreo popped up.

My thoughts - either I was using a modified rom which the vendor installed and this prevented an update to oreo, or I just needed to register.

My advice - try registering an account with huawei and if you don't get an update, try flashing official stock rom with no modifications. Also make sure the stock rom is designed for your particular phone - I learnt the hard way and bricked the phone. But in the end, many hours later and 18 euros later I have Oreo.

Yes it true, Android Pie should be available soon - but I believe if you can't get Android 8, it's unlikely the phone will update to 9.

Huawei has made it very difficult for people with their restriction on unlocking bootloader - very very disappointed. My main phone is Huawei P20 Pro and I am very happy with it, but the Honor 7x is a potentially amazing phone... just disappointed with a few things. I would have kept the Honor 7x if the camera was a bit better and would have no problem in paying a bit more.

Best wishes guys. I still have access to DC Unlocker if anyone wants it - think it has a day left.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] popy2006:

Will make an acount soon to test if it helps out.

[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] ginoseg:
DC Unlocker can potentially unlock the BL but I didn't pay for that. Yet anyway.

I paid for 3 days access to the software, and I have 1 day left. If you find that after registering your phone it does not update to oreo, and you want use it to flash official stock rom for your phone, let me know. I have 1 day left of using the software.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] popy2006:

I am on BND-L21 modell and fiormware is BND-L21C432B101, its stock, never done anything regarding firmware (because it dont work :).

How can i archive this?

Sorry not much experience with honor/huawei devices.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] ginoseg:
I don't have a lot of time right now as I am heading out...

But download the exact stock Naught rom for you phone - very very important. Don't try Oreo as it won't work. The file should be an official version without any modifications.

I used this website: http://huawei-firmware.com/phone-list/huawei-honor-7x

Also, make sure it is the full OTA (should be about 1.65GB). The file is a zip. You will need to extract the update.app file from the zip.

The DC Unlocker software uses the update.app file from the zip.

Once you have download both the DC Unlocker and official stock rom as outlined above, connect your phone in fastboot mode and flash the update.app to the phone. You will then have the official stock rom. By the way, please back everything up on your phone - I would suggest to a computer.

Then register the phone with the Huawei with your ID and Oreo should download. I will PM you the login details for my DC Unlocker account. I can tell you now - it won't unlock the bootloader, I don't have enough credits for it. I just bought enough to unbrick the phone.

Finally, I can't take responsibility for anything - I am just telling you what I did when 1) I couldn't update to Oreo, 2) I had my phone bricked, and 3) I now have Oreo.

I hope it helps you and anyone else facing this issue.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] ginoseg:

[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] ginoseg:
To be honest, I don't know which one would be suitable for your phone. I made my guess based on the fact that you have a BND-L21 model. Also I was looking out for "FullOTA-MF" rom and also one which I think is Naught.

These are the main factors which I took into account which got my phone unbricked and using the official stock rom rather than a custom one which the vendor modified before I bought it. I have doubled checked, you have about 23 hours with the DC Unlocker to play around...

By the way, you extract the update file from the zip, that is the only file you'll need from the zip

[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] kietob:
I bought a new Moto G6 Plus XT1926. My goal is to install a twrp image as recovery and then next the lineage.

I got a weird issue when trying to flash "twrp-3.2.1-37-evert.img" on my 1926 by using "./fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-37-evert.img" on a mac console. The output is:

XT1926 myMac$ ./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

sending 'recovery' (29440 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.630s]

writing 'recovery'..

(bootloader) Invalid partition name recovery

FAILED (remote failure)

finished. total time: 0.634s

Just before I unlocked the Bootloader. I tried:

1. Locking bootloader again and flash => nope

2. Restoring the partition table by the following commands:

./fastboot oem fb_mode_set

./fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

./fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

./fastboot flash logo logo.bin

./fastboot flash boot boot.img

Does anyone know why the partition "recovery" may be not present and how to make it flashable?

I flashed a XT1039 multiple times without issues, so I got some experiences. But i am out of ideas here.

How can it be that there simple is no recover on the phone I wonder.

Also I downloaded the "TWRP official" App and installed it within the Moto G stock rom and it also says that it can not locate the recovery.

I tried some stuff for two evenings and now i do not know how to continue...

Thanks for hints!
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] AleSebEri:
The Recovery is inside the boot, that's why the G6Plus don't have an official TWRP.

The ones we have are the bootable one with decryption enabled, or a flashable one with no decryption
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] kietob:
So instead of flashing the TWRP to the recovery partition, I should flash it to the boot partition?
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] Xplorer4x4:
No. Do not flash it at all! Load bootloader on your phone, from a pc with a fb and fastboot on it, run "fastboot boot twrp.img" without quotes and twrp.img matches the filename of the twrp IMG file. At this time we can not install twrp to our device. We can only boot it on our device using a pc every single time you need twrp. There was a twrp.img for our device we could flash with fastboot to install on our device but it does not properly flash files sadly. We are trying to raise funds to buy a device for a recognized developer in hopes of making some real progress on modding this device! Look around the G6 forums here and find the thread if you are able to make a PayPal donation or would like to see if you could donate in another way.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ralwig88:
Hi

I have a dual-sim Samsung S9 (international version) SM-960F. I have a Telstra SIM that had Wi-Fi calling enabled when I used it on my old iPhone 6. Wifi calling doesn't work and isn't an option on the S9 when the SIM is inserted.

I have discussed with a Samsung kiosk representative, and he claims that he can't flash with a Telstra firmware as the phone is "international" and won't work.

My question is

a) is what the Samsung rep saying true?

b) is this something that will be addressed by Samsung over time (ie. to include updates to firmware to include Telstra) and I just need to be patient?

c) I'm making a big assumption that the Samsung S9 actually has VOLTE and wifi calling hardware able(?)

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Chris_el:
I have been looking for a solution to this as well. My S9 currently has the XSG CSC Code and I want to change it to either XSA or TEL. Flashing through Odin didn't change it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Docmjldds:
Both you folks maybe would like to try the Detonator file that makes your phone think it's on Tmobile, and Wifi calling works. Just enable wifi calling in advanced connections settings after flashing. But also READ how to uninstall/disable the detonator file by editing the root EFS/IEMI mps_code.dat as well as omcnw_code.dat by using all capital letters to change from TMB to whatever your original prodcode.dat file show when opening with an app such as root explorer. The last three letters all caps is what you absolutely need to change if you decide to flash any kernels or ROMs. The Detonator file is simply an add on, not a ROM. This is all explained on the Detonator web site. Look at Forum here under Cross device development. Look specifically for posts from me which has links to latest V3 version as well as OPs WEB site.

My Exynos was an unlocked S9 with a CSC using AFG. This should give you Volte as well as Wifi calling. I cannot overemphasize the need to edit those file if you ever decide to change kernels or ROMs or you may end up with issues such as unable mount /system or /Data. Or issues such as booting up and seeing a message box on a new install saying your SIM card is PUK Network locked. This WILL happen if you don't edit those files.

Thanks for reaching out. This happens when you first set up your device, or when you install new apps on your phone. It's Androids (kind of silly) way of showing you that you can swipe up from the bottom of the screen to access the apps that were just installed / updated.

Unfortunately, there's no way to disable this. Hope that answers your question.

This is day 3 with the phone and the darn things are still bouncing.

I chatted with the support people. Their attempts to fix this were:

- Clear cache and storage in Pixel Launcher under Settings > Apps & Notifications > Pixel Launcher > Storage. Reboot.

- When that didn't help, do the same for Google. Reboot.

- When that didn't help, check Safe Mode.

- When that didn't help, they wanted me to reset the phone to factory defaults.

I'm avoiding the reset since the thought of setting everything up again fills me with dread (especially re-registering all my sites in Google Authenticator).

If it works fine with other chargers but not the original I doubt it's the charge port. For me the original charger will often only work if it's plugged in one way.

Yalp Store let's you download free apps from the Play Store.
