@ y-type

You have been able to handle that situation, my watch also suffer from such condition. do not see com port for imei recording.
[Huawei Watch 2] or1onz:
My watch(DLXX) is now stuck at Huawei logo due to my mistake of flashing a wrong boot.img ... ...

Now that ADB cannot detect device, nor my PC.

It does not show up in device manager too.

Anyone has any clue what can be wrong?

[Update]

I was able to use Fastboot on my watch after quite number of tries.

From fastboot i flash to boot twrp and further that flash custom rom by janjan.

It is now booted up with custom rom and running again.
[Huawei Watch 2] pub01:
Aloha:)

I went through the whole process, because i accidentally bricked my LTE watch with a BT version firmware. After i brought it back to life thanks to this thread, i flashed janjan's rom, and experienced the same as the others, the imei is 0.

I found a file on the watch: /nvdata/IMEI which contains my original imei number, so it's not lost, but it doesn't help:)

I'm a little bit stuck at this point..

Hi, where did you find the Emei folder and file? I'm looking for it but it's not in the path you wrote, pls help me
[Huawei Watch 2] pub01:
There is an nvdata folder on my watch root ditectory.
[Huawei Watch 2] Venum83:
Hello I know that I ask you a lot you could take a picture of your root and the open file of the mei obviously obscuring your imei thanks
[Huawei Watch 2] pub01:
You need to root your watch (you can find threads about it on xda)

Then on your watch:

1. preferences >> system >> info >> build number - press 10x to enable developer options

2. developer options >> enable ADB debugging

now you can connect to your watch with adb shell, you can see all the folders using ls command including nvdata. My watch not rooted right now, so i cannot provide pictures.
[Huawei Watch 2] Venum83:
hello I found the file and also I have my imei written in the file now you have to understand why it is not read

[Huawei Watch 2] dennisgrue:
Hello all,

a few years ago I came across the thread here and tried to revive my Huawei Watch 2 Bluetooth following the instructions. At that time I failed with the Sahara Error. In the last few days my old smartwatch fell into my hands again and I thought I could try my luck again and searched this thread again. So far my experiences flashing (so far only smartphones and tablets) have always been positive and there was always a way to revive devices. So it frustrates me especially that I fail on the watch. I downloaded the recovery and QFIL, connected the watch to the Windows 11 laptop with the official cable, ran QFIL as administrator, set flat build, loaded the recovery and hit download. Again the same error as before:

ERROR: function: sahara_rx_data:237 Unable to read packet header. Only read 0 bytes.
ERROR: function: sahara_main:924 Sahara protocol error
ERROR: fuction: main: 303 Uploading Image using Sahara protocol failed
Download Fail: Sahara Fail:QSaharaServer Fail:Process fail

I didn't think that a desert could annoy me so much ...

Since this thread is already a few years old, and the watch probably won't be usable for everyday use by now anyway, it's my last attempt. I would be happy if I can somehow still make this beast shine, otherwise it will probably be disposed of. If someone still has a bright idea to eliminate this error, I would be very grateful. I guess hope dies last.

Many greetings from Germany
[Huawei Watch 2] CryingPants:
Hello!

Though, I'm not sure what caused your device brick, but I'm sure flashing stock image through fastboot can solve every problem.

My watch bricked once for no reason, just keeps boot looping, I flashed stock twrp ROM and backup multiple times but didn't work out.

Until I found the software Huawei used in their repair store 🥹(I was looking for this for days). it's basically just a software programmed to flash stock image into every partition of your device, I've uploaded it onto my Google drive:

HUAWEI WATCH 2 BT_中国版升级_NWD1.170711.002_release.exe

drive.google.com

This tool is made for Chinese market, so your device will get Chinese edition ROM installed after you used this tool. You can unlock the fastboot afterwards and flash other ROMs or backups you want.

Again, this worked for my device(sawfish),

I bought my watch from China, I'm not sure if there's any difference in other partitions, but this will probably unbrick your device.

Hope this can get your beast back!

Good luck 🤞
[Huawei Watch 2] dennisgrue:
Hey there!

Wow I was very surprised to read your answer. I downloaded the tool and ran it as administrator. I was still able to translate the buttons, however the text at the top does not seem to be displayed correctly. I don't quite understand what the program is trying to tell me. The clock is connected and listed in the device manager as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. The watch screen is black.
[Huawei Watch 2] CryingPants:
It basically just want you to connect your watch with bootloader screen, then hit the start button, it will run everything automatically. You can try to display your Windows in Chinese, then the texts should display correctly :)

If that still doesn't work, I also have a zip file of those images, I'll upload it later.
[Huawei Watch 2] dennisgrue:
I actually tried to install Chinese as a language. Unfortunately it did not change the text.

That will probably be the problem. I can't get my clock into fastboot mode. The screen just stays black.

Thanks for your effort!

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Razzzzer:
Howdy Kids

I got a replacement S9+ to replace my current damaged model... all things being equal... the old phone had the voicemail badge in the apps section and notifications of how many are unread.

the new phone does not have the voicemail badge... I have checked and I see it as a system app with all the needed sliders (nofications on, badge on, permissions, ect) that I can think of....

any idea as to what I could be missing?

thanks!

I managed to find that thread a short time after my post and is exactly what I needed... its odd that the voicemail app appears to be present just would show/update on the new phone... I don't believe I sideloaded the voicemail app on the older s9+ ...

thanks again for taking the time to reply!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Zealotki11er:
Just got a Pixel 2 XL and been experiencing sync problem with Bluetooth of Audio with Video using my Car Stereo. The only baseline is that my S7 Edge did not have this problem with Android 7.0 and 8.0. Anything I can do to fix this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kaiser4782787890:
So, I have the HTC TyTn II and I sync only with my laptop and use my desktop just to transfer files and maybe install applications. The most annoying this is that ActiveSync wants to create a sync profile with my phone but I always have to click cancel and then it goes to "Guest" mode as noted on the top. I finally dug out the disassembler and nop'd out the call to the Synchronization Wizzard so it enters Guest mode immediately and quietly. Uploaded is A/S version 4.5.0 Build 5096 if anyone has a dedicated computer to upload files/download apps but not necessarily want to keep track of outlook/contacts/notes/etc

Hope someone can find this usefull.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] liay:
good work!

but, IMHO, dont think this is the best solution

here's MS' official solution:

Nice read. I would suppose the registry modification would be easier for upgrades/updates as well. Thanks for the tip.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] johanromijn:
Thanks for this! I'll try it on my work laptop tomorrow.

I know that trick but it's not working for me.

When I make that key in my registry, I can connect my PDA to my laptop, and it will be in Guest-Mode.

BUT, when I open Active Sync on my device to sync with my works exchange server, I will not work.

However, when I simply cancel Active Sync partnership wizard on my laptop, (so connect in guest-mode) I can sync fine.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dtravler:
I hoped this would have been the solution for us.

We have a lot of users with there smartphone. Coz they use flexible workspaces The sync on several pc's. We don't want to make a new partnership every time. Canceling the partnership makes it possible to sync with Exchange. But with this ActiveSync version this doesnt work. Also the GuestOnly register change syncing with exchange is not possible.

Anyone a solution?

Activesync Didn't Synch contacts

Hi,

Pls, when connecting my Touch cruise with Activesync, i found a message (Registered owner name does not match that in device information, make sure that is speleed exactly the same) in spite of write down the owner information in the PDA as the same mentioned in Computer name, i can't sych my contacts.

Pls advice

http://w15.easy-share.com/1701928313.html

fiddle with it..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] johanromijn:
I think when using this program to force ActiveSync guest mode, it just adds:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"GuestOnly"=dword:00000001

to the registry.

That tweak is not working for me.

I can connect succesfully, but my device won't sync.

Clicking "sync" on my device, just doesn't do anything.

BTW: I sync with an Echange server through LAN network.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] YrrchSebor:
I have a pretty good deal on an AT&T Galaxy Tab S4 T837, and I was wondering I if get it unlocked, would it work with a T-Mobile smartphone sim? I know it doesn't have a dialer or native texting like the international model, and I know it wouldn't work with an AT&T smartphone sim, but since it would be a different carrier maybe it wouldn't know the difference? I happen to have a smartphone line that I'm not using on T-Mobile, and I don't want to buy a separate tablet plan.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime / J7 On NXT (Exynos7870)] abittercoffee73:
On the Odin screen of your phones VERY some of you may notice the absence of "RP SWREV" string. My phone came from Chile. G610M single SIM. And there was none.

I know this sounds weird, but it was! Samsung sometimes messing things up.

Remember myself flashing Android 6 and 7 couple of times via Odin. Yes, I could flash 6's AP and CSC with 7'th bootloader and CP, drifting between them. No joking.

If you value this kind of freedom, be very careful with what you flash.

Yeah, weird post, but... it appears my case is somewhat unique. And I'd be grateful if someone points out how to downgrade bootloader back.

Well, no turning back now I guess. The only way is to flash via JTAG but it requires phone disassemble.
[Samsung Gear S3] Aintree Porsche:
One reason I jumped on this watch (when the price finally came down by half) is that it has the same 22mm lug width as my extensive NATO and Zulu strap collection. I think I have about 50. Prices range from $3 on eBay to $20 for the Blue Shark to $35 for the DaLuca Ballistic from Amazon. I picked up a pair of quick change/ quick change pins from Amazon to make it easier to remove and go back to the stock rubber strap without a need for the watch tool. I will post more pics later.
[Samsung Gear S3] Aintree Porsche:
A few more
[Samsung Gear S3] Aintree Porsche:
This is a great strap from Panatime on Amazon. 22mm ballistic with a full 12 inches of strap a very rare bonus. $18. The only similar one goes for $35.

Sorry for being honest. But your foto are useless.. i cant see a bleeding strap. All i see is your face watch and traces as some sort of strap. Photo taken in dark toilet room.

[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] shailendra1993:
I don't know what kind of developers HMD hires but, the software is half baked and not optimized properly.

Am I too late in saying that they should atleast provide bootloader unlock, so that we can have a better and more optimized software.

Blast Sarvikas, HMD and Nokia Mobiles on twitter and ask them either to optimize the software or provide bootloader unlock.

Problems right now:

1. Try locking phone using hardware button on an app with white screen, you will see a reddush hue when the screen turns off.

2. Very bad animation and laggy animations. App switching by double tapping recents used to be a breeze but now it's laggy af and sometimes doesn't even works.

3. Incompatibility with a lot of apps even after those apps are optimized for Android 9; Sound indictor sticks on the screen for more than one minute, phone heats a lot, battery draining, etc. One such app, that cause these problem is Lastpass.

4. Fingerprint problem; sometimes it doesn't works or is too late.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] pvaldeben:
Hi Folks,

Since I updated to Oreo I've been getting about 10 on a new battery and 8 hours on the original battery. I used to get about 14 to 16 hours. The batter graph is constantly what looks to be declining at 45 degrees even when not in use.

I've been out of the rooting scene for almost 3+ years already with LG G4 and LG v20 keeping then stock.

Anyone know how to increase battery life, if not would rooting help or is it possible to revert back?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] br0adband:
Of course the first question has to be: did you do a full factory reset on the device after Oreo was installed? If not, that could be part of the reason you're having such terrible battery life.

It should go without saying after all these years that regardless of what you believe about doing an in-place upgrade by an OTA update the recommendation is always always always do a full factory reset on the device AFTER the upgrade to the newer OS is complete.

Seriously, after so many years it's the one thing that I can't recommend enough. Yes, it's a complete pain in the ass to do it if you have a lot of apps and data on your device, but if you truly want the device to work the best it can with the new OS, a full factory reset is absolutely vital afaic, it just has to be done to get the device to "settle" into the new OS and ensure there's absolutely nothing left of the previous OS on the device.

That's my recommendation...
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Andy Chi:
Yea Broadband is right, you gotta remove any left overs from previous OS that conflicts with the current new OS.

Do a factory reset.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] pvaldeben:
Question there a difference between " Factory data Reset" and a hard reset?

Yes I did do a "Factory data Reset" and it definitely helped with data connection and phone calls. I reset because I was ready to get a new phone, but now data connections and calls are really good for these past 3 or 4 days. But battery drain is still about 10% per hour. Yesterday I did notice that the OS seems to be settling and battery got a little better because I got about 11+ hours of battery.

I'm liking my LG v20 all over again on Orio but this battery issue is killing me since I use GPS for hours at a time and when I do the phone dies alot sooner.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] pvaldeben:
thanks for all your advice. So I decided to roll back to 10p then root . Im upto updating TWRP to 3.2.3-1 or higher but I thought I installed the latest twrp but when I boot into twrp is says version 3.2.1-3 so that way I cant installed rooted Oreo yet. Started at around 8pm last night and topped at 3am... LOL like you said in another post its really not that difficult but I double and triple check every step I took.

Thanks for all you advice :good::good:.
