... forgot it too :D ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] s4goa:
the obvious problem

the obvious problem - though some still deny it - is that SPFT is not as reliable and easy to use as fastboot, while both simply flash a "boot.img" file.

So the FASTBOOT method is far easier to perform than any methond requiring SPFT on either Windows or Linux.

"Also when you boot to TWRP again it will still be there and data should be readable Not encrypted unless you set a pin / password of course."

those who NEVER use a bloody PIN will not find that so natural at all.

its easier without PIN then later add a PIN if you feel unsafe without PIN.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
MediaTek's SPFlashTool is super easy and super reliable. Anyone who has a Mediatek device should take just a little time and effort to install it and learn how to use it. :rolleyes:

There are thousands video tut's and written information available on how to install it and use it it's unreal :laugh:

SPFlashTool can do far more than just flash the boot and recovery. It can backup you entire phone and restore it even if your phone wont boot up.

Windows 8 > 10 Problems are due to crappy Windows not installing the drivers not SPFlashTool again lots of tut's on how to install the drivers on WindowXX.

Linux issues are Simple just disable the "ModemManager" simply google how to do that on whatever distro you are on.

EG:

To Disable:
sudo systemctl disable ModemManager.service
To re-enable:
sudo systemctl enable ModemManager.service
then to Start it again:
sudo systemctl start ModemManager.service

Not true really :rolleyes: it's just easier to install adb and fastboot on the PC for most noob's. :eek:

Once you have SPFlashTool setup and working it super simple even you could do it I think. :cyclops:

TWRP may work with a PIN you have set it's just nobody ever bothered to say if it does or doesn't work when encrypted with a PIN

I never tested that because I do not encrypt my dev devices.

My daily use phones remain locked and encrypted by default just in case a super hacker like you finds it. :laugh:

I Think that could my upload too so they should work. Thunderdrive download is broken :( but here is the Latest T3 TWRP I could Find T3-TWRP-Final.img

Use SPFlashTool or MTK-SU to Back UP before you Flash TWRP or anything else. (y)

EDIT: add link to MTK-SU Thread.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] a_petrov303:
thank you, it worked!

I managed to install the version contained T3-TWRP-Final.img

HOWEVER, inspired but that success, I decided not to stop here and upgrade to version 291.340

That worked too, but there was no root.

So I tried to insert boot, recovery from "patched_boot" and TWRP recovery which gave me root on first attempt.

Then things went wrong, very wrong. I have the continuous loop of "optimizing apps" now.

I managed to come back to my first scenario, where TWRP was working.

I have managed to enter TWRP now, how can I restore the phone from TWRP please?

I am on main TWRP screen with blue buttons.

UPDATE: many hours later, I managed to flash version 291.

However, I do not have TWRP and I assme no root either. Is this doable, or I should be gratefull for this and back off?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] a_petrov303:
is there significant improvement between version *.291 (most recent, right) and .268, .273?

READ THE [UPDATE] DOWN BELOW

Many Note3 Korean Variant users also reported this case

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2484602&page=115

The problem is that, I can't connect to LTE without losing my Network Radio Service Connection. I can connect to E/G/3G/H/H+ and still have network service, so I can still make calls and text messages, but when I turn on my Mobile Data, when it tries to connect to LTE, suddenly my service gets diconnected and I can't make phone calls nor messages though I could still use the data. I've already tried 3 LTE-Capable SIMS but the issue still happens.

What I had in mind is that it might be because it is Carrier Locked since it is a Korean Variant, but the problem still persists even after flasing other custom roms (this includes Note 7 Port ROMS, LineageOS, Stock-Based ROMS).

I love my Note 3, I will do anything to keep it alive, but still this one problem keeps bugging me...

Why can't I use both LTE data connection and radio service connection simultaneously?

Is anyone out there knowledge and willing enough to help us Note 3 KV users with this issue? :crying:

[UPDATE]

I get it now, when a phone is using LTE it means its not connected to any Mobile Network Service, instead it is connected to Data Network Service, yet it should receive Phone calls and Messages but it means that the phone will disconnect to LTE and switch to GSM/WCDMA (E/G/H/3G/H+) to be able to recieve the incoming call or message. I've tried that with my friends' phones, The first phone is connected to Data and is using LTE and the other phone is trying to call the first phone. The moment I call the first phone, I noticed that the LTE icon dropped to H and then recieve the call, It only happened because the option selected on the "Network Mode" (under Settings/More Networks/Mobile Networks-->Network Mode) is [LTE/WCDMA/GSM auto connect] so that's how it works :eek:

But that doesn't happen to my phone, after turning off the Mobile Data (I was connected to LTE btw) my phone doesn't automatically connect to GSM nor WCDMA network, it just stay on LTE mode and I have to manually select the GSM/WCDMA option in order to get Network Service.

So my final question is Why doesn't my Note 3 automatically switches Network Mode?

No it doesn't, the problem is already there even before I rooted my device. Flashing stock lollipop rom on odin didn't help either
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zlazaar:
Please start to read about LTE technology and its frenquency bands.

Then find answers to these questions :

1- My SM-N900L is locked to use which frequency bands ?

2- Wich bands are in use in my actual location (country) ?

3- Is it possible to unlock more frequency bands for my N900L ?

i can provide more help if things remains not clear enough.

Good luck :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Llamas_are_Good:
I tried searching the supported LTE bands of N900L but I can't find any sites that tell exactly what the N900L actually supports though I found out on this forum

https://www.frequencycheck.com/models/AZzWA/samsung-sm-n900s-galaxy-note-3-lte-a

I did try checking my phone on www.frequencycheck.com, N900L is not on the list..

https://www.frequencycheck.com/models/AZzWA/samsung-sm-n900s-galaxy-note-3-lte-a

N900S though shows that it supports Bands 3, 5, and 17.

I also look it up on wikipedia on where the SMART network (my current network) falls on the list of LTE frequency bands, and it shows that it is on Band 05 alongside with South Korean Networks LGU+ and SKT. The supported LTE bands on my country are Band 1, 3, 5, 7, 28 and 41

https://www.frequencycheck.com/countries/philippines

I searched for how to unlock all LTE frequency bands on N900L or Korean Variants or Note 3 but the only option that shows up is by accessing the Service Menu on Stock ROM and manually changing the values, which still didn't work for me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zlazaar:
According to my search, N900L is locked to :

LTE protocol : B1 (2100) and B5 (850)

LTE-A protocol : B3 (1800) and B7 (2600)

Now try to find the specific frequency band used by your carrier (he can't use all of the six available bands in Philippines), and activate it.

Wich stock firmware do you use when trying to access Service Mode ? It must be the LGU+ one.

And what code did you dial for the same purpose ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Llamas_are_Good:
When you said activate, you mean select the band to be used by the phone right?

- Yes, I used the LGU+ Lollipop Stock ROM

- I typed in the dialpad, *#0011# and changed the network preference to LTE ONLY.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zlazaar:
I mean activate only the LTE's frquency band used by your carrier.

Check your PM.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Llamas_are_Good:
I've already done that, but the problem with radio service network is still present, I can't make or receive any phones calls nor messages.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrcatalin:
Hey guys. I'm sorry if this has already been posted, but I've searched everywhere on the internet and could not find this same problem. No troubleshooting tips helped either.

I own a Lenovo P2 and until recently I could connect to the PC via USB without any problems. Now, my PC doesn't recognize the phone at all. I mean that it doesn't even show up as faulty device or searching for drivers.

With no computer does my phone connect anymore.

The USB cable is not faulty either, nor the PC USB ports and the phone's jack, and the option for MTP is selected. Despite all this it only charges.

Here is the catchy part as the USB configuration setting seems bugged out for me. No matter which option I choose, MTP will show up as selected, yet the phone will only charge.

i am getting a brand new huawei mate 10 pro returning my current brand new one as it got updated to the latest emui which prevents bootloader unlocking, how do i succesfully unlock the bootloader on the next mate 10 pro?

1.how do i prevent it from updating and ruining my chances of unlocking the bootloader Before i have a chance to unlock it, will it force update?

2.how do i keep the bootloader locked will i have to flash some other rom on it to prevent it from updating ota or can i update it ota and keep the bootloader unlocked with twrp or will it be permanently locked if i attempt to ota update after twrp is installed and after the bootloader is unlocked

3.i read that it can restore the default recovery on first boot can anyone explain this to me

since the latest emui prevents the bootloader from being unlocked i only have one chance, and if it somehow updates to the latest emui then it's locked forever, so how do i unlock the bootloader permanently without worrying about it unlocking ever again, i thought that once the bootloader is unlocked and twrp is installed then it will stay like that, but then i read that it can get overitten just with an ota update and once it updates then i can never unlock it again.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
1. Set up device, but don't plug in SIM or enable WiFi. Go to settings and check patch level.

Depending on Cust of course, but generally July or later can't be downgraded (If downgrade is needed). This is due to updated bootloader.

If May/June or earlier you should be able to use HCU-client directly to get unlock code.

For example, BLA-L29C432B145 (June) can be downgraded to B142 (May) where HCU works. This is using dload firmware from androidhost.ru (requires an OTG-cable and USB-stick 8gb min or a OTG usb hub and USB-stick 8gb min).

B146+ can't be downgraded to old bootloader due to updated bootloader.

2. When you have the unlock code you can use it, always, no matter what firmware (At least as it is now, this might change in the future)

Firmware don't normally lock bootloader.

3. To restore stock recovery you would either:

Extract it from your firmwares update.app, acquired from firmware finder. This is extracted using Huawei Update Extractor.

Stock recovery is named recovery_ramdisk and can be flashed through fastboot.

OR

You can 'dd' erecovery_ramdisk to recovery_ramdisk (both partitions are the same, different 'entry' points). This is using terminal in TWRP

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/erecovery_ramdisk of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery_ramdisk

I would suggest using the update.app approach if you're not comfortable using terminal. 'dd' is a potentially dangerous command.

But your device should ship with an already HCU compatible firmware, so you should be able to get code right away, as long as you don't connect to the internet first.

can i set it up without a Connection? from what i remember setting it up the first time it forced me to connect to the internet, as for unlocking that seems really complicated, from what i saw i can use dc unlocker with the click of a few buttons so i don't quite understand these methods, so you mean this is better than dc unlocker, does that mean once i get the code i can update emui and relock the bootloader and then unlock it? no need for any software or anything once i have the code then it's like an official code so i never have to worry about not being able to unlock the bootloader again can i then unlock the bootloader no matter how new emui if i want, and what firmware will it have if it comes brand new should it have the firmware it shipped with on release?

let's say the phone comes with Before may security patch can i then easily just get the code without much complication and then it's the same code as if i were to get it directly from huawei meaning i don't have to worry about updating emui and having the bootloader locked permanently? this is all news to me as i thought you needed to use dc unlocker as a workaround and that this only works on older emui meaning if i unlock the bootloader update emui then it's locked forever.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
Hcu-Client is made by DC-Unlocker, but it works for newer phones. Its the same procedure as using DC-Unlocker, and uses the same credits. Just follow the instructions found in the program.

The downgrade would only be needed it your firmware is higher than the supported ones, and still on old bootloader.

I can't say for sure the unlock code will work for all eternity, but at least for now it will work after you update (and if phone for some reason locks after update).

If it works or not on future firmware is up to Huawei. My phone stayed unlocked when flashing Pie beta anyway....

When you have the code you it will be like the official one, so keep it somewhere safe. :p

I'm pretty sure you can skip through the whole set up without connecting to the Internet.

I can't remember what firmware my phone came with, it might have been on C432B127 or C432B129...

DC unlocker/HCU is only to get the unlock code as Huawei closed their site to get it. You can safely update after getting it.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] zzcool:
oh so no need for a Cable or anything after i received the code, once i received it on the appropriate firmware then i can update emui, this means anything i do doesn't do anything to the phone itself, i don't need to do any modification on my phone i just use it to get the code then i update emui like normal and then when i feel like it i unlock the bootloader with the code, so i can get the code and just forget about it afterwards unless huweai invalidates it in the future?

simply put

1.i unbox the phone and set it up with no sim card or internet skip all logins

2.i connect it to a pc and get the code through hcu however that is done

3. i reset the phone and set it up like i normally would with internet and a simcard and then update it ota

then when i feel like it i can unlock the bootloader on the newest firmware and then install a custom rom

It means it's not supported since May/June. I guess they just write that so they don't have to investigate into which firmware exactly.

It works on May patch firmware and earlier. Some cust even works on June.

Since your signature is Italian I guess you have C432?

If so, last build it worked on was B142. If you're on B145 you can downgrade to B142. If you're on B146 or later you can't get unlock code. (at least for now)

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
If DC-Unlocker doesn't work, use HCU-client. I can't remember if Mate 10 Pro is too new for DC-unlocker.

It's the same credits anyway, and it won't use credits if phone is not supported in DC-unlocker (You won't get the Bootloader code option anyway).

It may ask you to factory reset in HCU to get code, if it does just comply.

You will need 4 credits, which equals $4

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
Yes, it should work forever. I say should because it's Huawei and you never know if they decide to lock all unlocked phones and make the unlock codes invalid....

It should work in updated EMUI, atleast in Oreo.

What Huawei did, what I found out anyway, that made unlock code generation not working anymore is changing the key needed to generate it.

It's the same with the backdoor they use, it needs a new key to work. So technically all old unlock codes should work as the end result when generating an unlock code would be the same regardless of what key is needed to generate it. I guess anyway.

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
B145?

If so you have to downgrade to B142, firmware is available on androidhost.ru.

You will also need an otg cable and a memory stick/usb adapter and minimum 8gb memory. (Samsungs USB-C to USB-A works fine for this if you happen to have one)

Or a USB hub.

Then extract your downloaded firmware zip, just cut and paste "sd_update" folder to external memory stick and start phone in dload mode.

There are instructions that come with the firmware on how you flash it (dload mode, folder structure etc.)

External memory is needed as Mate 10 Pro can't read internal while in recovery.
