[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] modest.young:
Several days ago I upgraded my H9 to b373. Root works good with magisk and also with [MENTION=1915408]phhusson[/MENTION]'s super user. So I decided to use treble ROM PIE v104. Installation was succesful. I also installed [MENTION=4332327]JBolho[/MENTION]'s kernel and the ROM works just great. I used it for more then three days without any problems. And on today's morning the phone was switched off eventhough yesterday baterry was on 46%. So I put it on charger and wait an hour. And then when I try to switched it on the phone bootloops and ends in stock recovery. So I flashed back stock ROM b373. Instalation process went just fine but right after signing to google account phone's display goes totally black, only capacitive buttons lighted. I try to reboot, then the phone boot normaly but after it boots up I see only baterry with 0%. So I try one more factory reset but it didn't help. So I relock the phone and it boot up and behaves normal and baterry was on 32%. And I try to relock bootloader and same problem appears - black screen and zero baterry. Now I'm back on b369 (unlocked bootloader) that is from my experience the best one and I dont face any problems.

So be careful
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pomaraczowy:
373 isnt applied for our device (yet?)

so i guess noone should flash it.

latest applied version is 371
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Did you verify it was compatible with your device ? I'm using B372 through FF and its working fine :)
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] modest.young:
I installed it through [MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION]'s HURupdater, so I didn't verify compatibility.
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] cioce:
I don't have any problem with B373 + TWRP 3.2.1-0 [0.3] + Magisk v17.1 Root

I'm almost sure that B374 will be out in the next days for C432 model, is already out for C635.

C432B373's working fine here, no problem at all.

OP could be wrong...
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
No DNS method works fine , FF doesnt like android 8 but works fine with 7 . Use Hisuite to downgrade from 8 to 7 then FF to update through DNS :)
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] modest.young:
I'm not 100% sure that b373 caused my problem, but it happened when I was on it and downgrading to b369 solved it.
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] geogsm_1:
You are downgrade? how?
[Honor 9  Guides, News, & Discussion] modest.young:

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] SY Corgi:
My old charging port melted because of what I suspect was a faulty charging cable, so I bought a new charging port board from China and swapped it in. Phone is now charging again, everything appears to be working except that I cannot get any service from my carrier. SIM card is acknowledged, it even shows the phone number in the *#*#4636#*#* menu, but phone picks up no service.

I am in Canada and have the USA version of the Axon 7. Never rooted or flashed any ROMs, is on Android 7.1.1. Carrier was Freedom Mobile and the phone was on LTE band 4 where I live... And for what it's worth, I also swapped in the old daughterboard with the melted charging port (after I've charged with the new board), phone picked up service right away

I suppose the charging port board /daughter board I got was from another version of Axon 7 and the network chip is somehow not reading my SIM? What do I need to do?

Would greatly appreciate any thoughts or info that could point me in the right direction! :):) Thanks in advance
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] kountry83:
Correct! You got the A2017 Chinese rf band chip/antenna. You need either a A2017U board to get bands here in US.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] SY Corgi:
Thanks for confirming my suspicions! So I did some more research and found out that the Chinese version doesn't support the LTE bands that my carrier runs, but it does have WCDMA/UMTS Band 2 and 5. I popped in a SIM card from a carrier that have towers in those 3G bands but the phone still wouldn't pick up service. (or am I mixing up WCDMA and UMTS? Those two are used interchangeably from what I've seen)

There was this this previous thread that suggests flashing the full firmware or the modem, or simply getting a GSM SIM inserted into the phone would work. I do have trouble switching the network mode away from LTE/WCDMA/GSM to WCDMA or GSM only.

Any chance I could get the Chinese daughterboard working on the US version (preferably without having to backup data and flashing anything)? If it reaches the 3G network that it is supposed to be compatible with would be great for now!

Alternatively where should I get the US version of the daughterboard? That would solve all my problems..:p I have looked on Ebay/Aliexpress again and don't see anything compatible (all from Chinese sellers and some of them dont even have the additional IC that comes with the US version of the phone).

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] SY Corgi:

Still looking and hoping to find ways to make the Chinese board work in the US phone :p
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Syberclone:
Have you tried the network operator settings ?

I'm not sure if this will work but its worth a try.

Because of the hardware changes it may not be detecting the network now.

The Chinese board could very well be messing up the outcome.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] SY Corgi:
Yes it's a good idea.

I've looked into that, I've tried clearing all the network settings and it still doesn't pick up service. Only thing I haven't tried so far is a factory reset but then I have tens of gigs of app data I need to back up before I do that..
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Syberclone:
Did you let your phone scan for networks?

Settings > network > mobile network > network operators.

In Oreo its.

Settings > network > sim card > mobile network > network operators.

Let it scan(this can take a minute or 2) then select your appropriate provider.

Hope this helps

So someone tried to charge the phone with a micro usb cable and ruined the port. It will only charge slowly when powered down. I bought a cheap chinese charging port board 15.99 plus 2.00 shipping and now it fast charges( off&on) but have no cell service. So I put the original back, and the cell service works. THe chinese board has this E222034 and no QR code, and the original has a QR code with E315850. My phone is a usa model, and does anyone know where to get a compatible one?

I have an honor 9 lld-l21 with unlocked bootloader and i had twrp and magiskintalled but i wanted to update to the latest version so i tried updating without changing anything and i would get errors in twrp so i flashed the stock ramdisk and nothing happened then used huawei update extractor And extracted recovery_ramdis.img and it WAS written like recovery_ramdis.img and i patched recovery ramdisk in twrp with this file then rebooted the phone it boots normally and i can do whatever i want inside the phone but when i tried updating it downloaded the update powered off and then tried to get in recovery but it couldn't and booted in to the phone and said update failed i tried factory reseting my phone but same thing happenes, it shuts down tries to open recovery, it cant then boots to normal phone and says factory reset failed. I tried using adb to reboot to recovery or fastboot but it cant, it shuts down the phone, goes to open recovery or fastboot then opens the phone normally. So i cant patch the phone with any stock firmware or anything like that because i cant load into fastboot. I tried using hisuite and using the system recovery option there and it tells me theres nothing wrong with my phone. Its like i deleted fastboot and recovery from my phone.

Note : i am not in a bootloop i can enter the phone fine and do whatever inside infact im posting this with my phone i just cant enter fastboot or recovery or erecovery or anyhting.

Please help. :crying:

OK you have knackered your recovery, you still haven't told me how you try to enter fastboot.

Try this to enter fastboot, from phone off while holding Vol Down connect to PC with USB lead.

Been trying to download mu 9.6.2 ota update for the past two weeks. The download status remains 0%.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] kvas:
:cowboy: I am new to this forum, but have an issue with my Pixel XL that I can't specifically identify, so here I go... I have a Google Pixel XL I purchased from Verizon when they first came out in 2016: (Not sure if the phone is specific to Verizon, was told Google would not let Verizon install thier own firmware). The phone has been pretty good to me. Although I dont think I have had issues with the microphone, Google Hangouts has always been buggy, slow, and crashed. I have kept up the updates, and recently updated to PIE. Google did recommend doing a factory reset over the years which I mistakingly never did due to laziness of not backing up my files. Well, yesterday the unthinkable happened.

While test calling my phone number from another phone, I tried to call Hangouts on my Pixel XL. The phone froze as it usually does. Like a moron I was inattentive and just tried to restart the phone. I got the screen of death that said, "Can't load Android system. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you may need to perform a factory reset and erase all user data stored on this device." I don't want to perform a reset, because I had backup OFF (mistake). It gives me the option to continue, or factory reset. I can't boot into safe mode, but I can go to the screen with the android guy laying on his back, (power button + volume down). Once I select recovery, I get the white screen with google logo, then wait... then I get into the screen with android guy laying on his back with red triangle and exclamation point... Then after holding (Power button then volume up) I can get into the screen with "Reboot system now" "Reboot to bootloader" "Apply update from ADB" "Apply update from SD card" "Wipe data/factory reset" "Mount/system" "View recovery logs" "Run graphics test" "Run locale test" "Power off".... I also downloaded all the files from developers.googledotcom: Factory images, Full OTA images, driver binaries(I think they are correct). Problem is developer mode/usb debugging was not selected at the time of the crash and I obviously cant get into the settings. I am just unclear about which sequence could possibly restore the corrupt file preventing the phone from booting? It seems like I have the necessary usb drivers working, and it seems like my laptop is communicating with my phone while in the command prompt.

I am not very experienced anymore, but I can follow instructions. I just refuse to give up and do a factory reset. I don't care about permanently bricking my phone as it is useless to me with my lost data... CAN ANYONE HELP?? I'm sure there are some forums on here which do explain what to do, but I have searched for a whole day and I cant seem to find a specific one...

RIP 9/11 victims:(:angel:

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Phalanx7621:
Well if you can't get into your system, I'm not sure what choice you have other than to wipe and start again. If USB debugging is off, you can't even pull the files from the phone as far as I know.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] kvas:
I thought I came across a tutorial somewhere that allows USB debugging to be bypassed

Is there an option to enable USB debugging mode in recovery or through ADB? I can't even remember if I had debugging mode enabled.... My device was shipped through Verizon in Oct 2016, so it is bootloader locked anyway... It seems to be communicating with my laptop in CMD adp sideload, but Im not 100% sure.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] altwu:
it sounds like you can boot into the bootloader and recovery, so you don't need to bother with enabling usb debugging. having usb debugging enabled applies only when the phone is running android. it doesn't affect the recovery or bootloader modes. to verify, boot into the bootloader with power + volume down. you should get the screen with the android guy on his back. connect your phone to a computer via usb, and then run "fastboot devices". fastboot should be in the same folder where adb is. if fastboot returns a device name, it sees your phone and you should be able to sideload a full ota and restore your system. follow step 5 in this guide.

good luck!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] kvas:
Thanks for the reply!

I read on another recovery thread for "soft bricked" Pixel XLs that it is possible to not wipe the data by modifying the batch file. To my understanding this involves going to the script and editing it by simply deleting "-w", and saving. Can anyone give me confirmation of this? I don't want to wipe my data, but I am also not clear about some instructions I saw on the Google developers site.... It explains how to apply the OTA through cmd prompt if you dont want to wipe data. Conflicts with some information in this forum. Which option is better? Can someone explain the difference? I know OTA means over the air, but why would Google say to apply this instead of the full factory image in sideload ADB. Since I have corrupt file warning preventing me from booting into the home screen I just want to know what the best option is...:eek:
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] altwu:
there are 2 methods to flash android to your phone.

flash the factory image. the factory image zip contains a script that takes care of the flashing. it's basically several fastboot commands. to prevent data from getting wiped, the script needs to be edited to remove the -w option from the last fastboot command. the instructions you've seen that mention this are ones for flashing a factory image. but your bootloader needs to be unlocked to do this. since yours isn't, this isn't an option for you.

flash the ota zip. this is done with an adb sideload command. according to google's ota page(http://developers.google.com/android/ota), "This has the same effect as flashing the corresponding factory image, but without the need to wipe the device or unlock the bootloader." unlike flashing a full factory image, no extra steps are needed to prevent data from getting wiped.

i don't think one option is better than the other. some people here prefer to flash the ota, others prefer to flash the full factory image. i've been going with the factory image route ever since nougat and i can confirm that the script edit needed to prevent a data wipe works. but for you, since your bootloader is locked, you have only one option and that's to flash an ota. the instructions for flashing an ota are on google's ota page that i gave a link to or in the guide i mentioned in my previous reply.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] kvas:
Yup, that explains it. I wasn't clear about the instructions of the OTA method because on the developers site for Google it both talks about sideloading and enabling usb debugging in the options menu. Since I can't access my setting because my phone is soft bricked I have to use sideloader through the ADB. What I am also not clear on is the OTA for my situation. I gathered that the OTA flash was for Pixels that wouldnt take and update in a non-soft bricked phone. At this point I have no choice but to try. I talked to someone at Google and he sat on the phone for over an hour and a half with me helping me research this method. (THANKS GOOGLE))). Although I read that after the last Pie update many peoples phones became bricked so at least it shows they care. I just hope the OTA flash is provisioned for a soft bricked device. But in this business I realize nothing is guaranteed. I just wish I could locate someone who tried this on thier device so they could give some pointers....

We can all agree, if your phone is bootloader LOCKED do not do a factory flash if attempting to retain any data. Editing the script (-W) will only work with a bootloader UNLOCKED device. Long live the Pixel
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] kvas:
Now this just gets stranger and stranger... I tried loading the OTA file from sideloader. It reads my device just fine (adb devices)... but when I type adb sideloader <space> (filename) it says it cannot locate the file? I copied and pasted the file to the folder wehre adb.exe is. Cannot locate file, but device is located with no issues in the cmd. What am I doing wrong?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sb1893:
1) Is the Full OTA that you downloaded from Google in the same file directory on your computer as ADB.EXE?

2) Are you typing in the file name properly? Might be easier to rename it to something easier / shorter than the default that is downloaded from Google. (or you can drag/drop the file to your cmd window which will cut/paste the file name and proper path)

3) are you using proper syntax? Your sentence above says "adb sideloader <space> (filename)"....but the command is "adb sideload" (not sideloadER)

4) Within your command window, are you in the directory containing your adb.exe and ota.zip? Depending on how you launched the cmd window, you might need to change directory (cd) to the right path/folder...

from Google page:

Run the following command:

adb sideload ota_file.zip

where ota_file.zip is the name of the file you have downloaded and verified.

Good luck.
