[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] :
To flash the stable Pie Custom ROM you need to be on EMUI 8. I think you are on EMUI 8 first. So if you can, then first upgrade to EMUI 8. After that we can flash the ROM. Can you tell me your Current Model No? Also, do you want to flash EMUI 8 China or India? China has been most updated but doesn't have Gapps so you can't use as daily driver. Anyway you are only gonna use it to flash Custom ROM. Indian EMUI 8 has Gapps and can be used as daily driver. Another thing about Chinese EMUI 8 is that you most likely won't have signal when you boot it for the first time but there is an easy fix for that.

Side note: Never use SU to root your phone. It's dead. Magisk is now the prime. It's easier to root and unroot with Magisk, you can hide Root access from Certain Apps so that you can continue using them e.g Pokemon Go, Android Pay and Banking Apps which don't work on rooted phones. It's also System-less root, so you aren't modifying System. And you can install Magisk Modules from the Manager app. So it's better. But this is my personal preference.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jackmeat:
That's what I thought about HuRUpdater warrning about the booloader lock. Was wondering if they tried it with the OTA-MF (which the phone downloads by default) vs the FullOTA-MF. Regarding Firmware Finder, I've seen when there are more than the two updates (OTA-MF and FullOTA-MF) available for one new firmware revision. I would presume the FF files are OK, but I don't mind waiting the few extra days for Huawei to make the update official.

Thanks again for your support on these forums and great community![/QUOTE]

You can refer directly to me, I am the OP. And yes, it was FullOTA-MF and no there was no warning about bootloader lock, or it wouldn't have been done, I would've been right back here asking [MENTION=8892904]Mannan Qamar[/MENTION]

what to do LOL
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] :
Yeah I agree with you. At first I also couldn't tolerate less than 100%. But after learning that it was either that or stock EMUI I stopped complaining. And it's hard to find a 100% Custom ROM anyway. And I never used Xposed. I flashed it one time on EMUI 8 and it was a bootloop. It wouldn't have been if I hadn't panicked. It said it would take 15 mins to boot. I started pressing buttons after 5. And because I was a total Noob, I tried everything to fix it without success. Flashed disabler. Nothing. Reflashed exposed. Same. In the end, I just wiped everything from my phone ( System, Data, Internal & Caches). Tried flashing Elemental ROM. Failed. Try to flash firmware via HWOTA. Fail. In the end I just again wiped all the partition and flashed via Hurupdater. That fixed it. Since then I haven't touched Xposed.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jackmeat:
Yeah, about that "no signal, easy fix" thing. That is exactly what I went through on my LG back when I did that with a custom ROM and it was a nightmare. Maybe I'll go with Oreo then and avoid that happening again. I am still on EMUI 5, 5.04 I think. The phone is Honor 6x, BLN-L24

I think the FULL-OTA downloaded by Huawei locks the Bootloader. I have used FULL-OTA from Firmware Finder and it never locked my Bootloader. But since you used the one from Huawei, it was meant to restore your system. Hence the Bootloader lock.

Well, that seems to go against hurupdater giving any form of warning then.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] :
So you want to upgrade to EMUI 8? Great. Now keep in mind that wether you wanna flash a Pie ROM or Oreo ROM, you need EMUI 8 for both. And the signal issue will be on EMUI 8 but as I said, it's really easy to fix. It takes less than two minutes. So next step is deciding wether you want Indian EMUI 8 or Chinese. Chinese is good for flashing Custom ROM and Indian is good as daily driver. Make up your mind, and then we can Debrand+Update. That process will take less then 30 minutes. Providing you have the files downloaded
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jackmeat:
Oh, so I am stuck with going with EMUI 8 for either of those. Nope, I think I'll be patient and just wait for Oreo to come out in the US. I would just like to get this phone back to getting the piddly OTA updates for now, so I suppose that means keeping EMUI 5. I realize you say this fix is a two minute deal, but I had the exact same assurance previously and it wasn't. Trust me, feel free to find that nightmare of a thread trying to get the phone to work as a phone. So for now I am more than happy just getting this back to unlocked, twrp installed, rooted and getting my OTA updates as they come along. It seems they are working on releasing Oreo sooner or later here, so I'll just be patient, and if they decide to never release it in the US, then I can worry about the custom rom route and emui 8.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] :
Not to rain on your parade but the chances of EMUI 8 being released in US is pretty low. And believe me, it's a two minutes fix. Installing EMUI 8 and on top of that the Pie ROM will take less than 45 minutes. But it's your choice. And you can't get OTA with an unlocked Bootloader. So by trying to update, you won't only get the latest OS, but also the latest security patch. And there is no risk of bricking if you follow along exactly.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] WetWilly:
No offense intended ...

Really wondering if like Mannan said there's a difference between the FullOTA downloaded by the phone and the FF download. I have saved all of the OTA files I've downloaded from FF and I may have the FullOTA files the phone downloaded by eRecovery when the regular update failed - if I do, I'll run a checksum on them and report back.

That said, I have never had the FullOTA downloaded to the phone since B366, e.g., the B375 update the phone downloaded was the OTA and not FullOTA package.

jackmeat - one more thing, you're using HuRUPdater version 0.4, right? Just checking the bases looking for why it might not have worked on your phone when it worked for two similar update on each of my two BLN-L24s.

I guess I am in the minority because I don't really have many issues with EMUI. I always use Nova Launcher regardless of my Android device so I don't see EMUI most of the time, and I have found some EMUI features convenient - like the 3-finger swipe for screenshots, the themes, Magazine Unlock, etc. It may be bloated and may affect phone performance, but the phone works fine.

Xposed can be a pain - I had similar issues but ultimately got them resolved when rooting my Fire tablet and installing Xposed - but it fixes the SD card access issues that Google can't seem to straighten out. On devices like the Fire tablet where Magisk isn't an option and SU is the only option for rooting, Xposed can be a lifesaver.

I am tending to agree with you since 1) Huawei has already moved on to Pie updates for its newer phones, and 2) the US isn't really on Huawei's radar. That said, I am very grateful for the bimonthly updates that include the latest Google security patches.

I'm with jackmeat here, I'm capable of the debranding/update to Oreo/flash new ROM process but not interested in doing it at the moment. I admittedly haven't looked at the 3rd party ROMs lately, but I really like the Huawei camera app as-is and am willing to live with the bimonthly updates for the time being. I'll definitely reconsider if/when the official updates stop coming.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jackmeat:
I can hear until blue in the face how easy it will be, and I trust Mannan isn't going to do me harm, but I assure you when I went through this custom thing on my LG, no one in their right mind thought I was going to have to bring it back to stock, backup my EFS partition ONLY to my pc (didn't have an sd card in that phone since it wasn't possible) and then install the custom rom, then go back, do the whole process over of root and twrp, and then flash the EFS partition to then flash two more MVNO specific things to get the phone to work with freedompop. so yes, I am very hesitant to do that all over again and find out what the tricks will have to be this time to get my phone to work with safelink. My freedompop on my LG is working just fine and I refuse to do any more changes to that phone.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] :
Thanks for the support. And hey man, what you are happy with, we all are. It's your phone. Now regarding this OTA thingy, I personally used a System Downloaded OTA to update via Hurupdater. No bootloader relock for me. Maybe it did warn OP but he didn't realize? I generally prefer Firmware Finder for my OTA. Not that I have needed it since the last OTA was two months ago. Since then I have said Buh-Bye to EMUI and use custom ROMs.

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------

I really appreciate the trust you are putting in me. And that does sound a lot of work. But if at any point you want to flash a ROM, maybe you try to take the risk. Just ask. I will personally guide you from Start-to-Finish.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jackmeat:
You do realize I am the OP, right? and no, it didn't warn, and yes, from what you said I used the system downloaded OTA and verified by size they were the same, and yes, it did lock my bootloader, and no, it did not flash twrp even though the image was in the same folder. i assume it didn't flash twrp because it had already locked the bootloader. so right now B377 sits, and cannot be installed even though my bootloader is locked, my phone is not rooted and i don't have a custom recovery such as twrp loaded....
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] :
Did you try dload?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jackmeat:
As in move the system downloaded OTA files onto the sd card in the dload folder i used for the previous update? No, i have not tried that. Should I have to be doing that now for some reason?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] :
You said that you had trouble updating. So a new flash should fix that. To do dload, extract update.zip of the update and copy the extracted files to SD card. Make a new folder in root of SD card called dload and place the files in that. Then power off phone and hold power+volume up+volume down simultaneously. Firmware will now flash. Once it finished, reboot and then try OTA update
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jackmeat:
should i just use the OTA for B377 that the system downloaded, or should i get the full-ota from firmware finder, or at this point, does that not matter? I noticed the OTA that downloaded to my phone is tiny compared to the full OTA that firmware finder has for B377, and there are 2 of them on firmware finder, both fullOTA-MF one is L24Cblah blah and the other is L24HNCblah blah. Same with just the OTA-MF, same 2 versions, and they appear to be the same size as the one already on my phone under HwOUC
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] :
Yeah you can use that.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jackmeat:
Ok, finally got around to doing that. Used the dload method as described. Got a little bit concerned there since it stuck at 5% for about 10 minutes...but then it rebooted. Tried the OTA for B377 after, and got the exact same EMUI screen with "software failed to install" and then the huawei url for emotion something or other. So nope, still can't get an everyday OTA
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] :
I don't suppose you would just unlock the bootloader, flash EMUI 8 and then a Custom ROM on top of that won't you
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jackmeat:
Willing to break down and do it

Are you still willing to help me do the upgrade? Emui, pi the whole thing. If so, any chance in the next few days? I am moving to Australia so at this point my phone service won't much matter if you are sure it'll work. Since I lost the unlocked bootloader, titanium is not a backup option for me, so I'd have to start there. If you already have a step by step, just point the way, mate. Thanx

As the topic states, I would like to setup my finger print to be able to use it with my banking app. I currently do not have it set up. I prefer using the face unlock to get into my phone as it's pretty much instantaneous. If I setup my finger print in the phone, will it then require me to use my finger print to unlock the phone, or will I be able to continue using the face scanner?

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] marshedpotato:
Hello team. I need to edit build.prop file on my J3 but I cannot root.

My understanding is that this is possible using custom recovery, just mount the system partition and push and pull the file file with adb. The problem is my handset (SM-J330FN) is running Android 8, and I think only custom recovery exists for Android 7. I tried installing the TWRP I found for Android 7, but the phone just boot loops, get stuck at Samsung logo and reboot. Don't think I can use this Android 7 TWRP with Android 8.

So next plan, I tried to wipe and install Android 7 firmware instead, but Odin said no. I take UK BTU firmware from updato.com the same way I do with Android 8 but it gets to the first stage and Odin says FAIL!

Can anyone provide a suggestion for how I can edit build.prop without root? I don't care how - maybe I can find a custom recovery for Android 8, maybe someone can help with why I can't install the Android 7 firmware, maybe someone knows of a way I can do a 1 time boot to recovery image (have used "fastboot reboot recovery.img" in the past but am aware that Samsung bootloader does not support fastboot). Maybe I can do it with root and remove the root after? Root needs to be not detected so I can use certain tools.

Any advice hugely appreciated

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] jpav80:
I have a Pixel 2 and I feel like ever since the device upgraded to Pie I get this random horizontal line that briefly flickers during a transition between apps from the launcher. It is the very bottom of the screen for any app that keeps a black navigation bar at the bottom. It will only flash or flicker once and doesn't happen all the time. The main app that does this is Hangouts but occasionally happens with others too like the camera app or Google News. I figured it might be software but wanted to see if anyone else noticed it. The device runs fine otherwise so hopefully not a big deal down the road if there is failing hardware.

Phone is completely stock, never rooted. I have tried safe mode, wiped cache, and just finished a factory wipe/reset. I think it may have happened with the latest update (I first noticed 2-3 weeks ago).

The wifi switch moves over and says turning on but it never turns on and eventually the switch goes back to the off position by itself.

[LG Watch Sport] booster33:
Hello everyone,

I've enjoyed this watch even if the battery life sucks since the beginning!! especially coming from the Samsung Gear S3, which has never ever lasted less than a day (24 hours).

Since the last Android Wear 2.0 update, the battery life is even worse, although I doubt it's actually linked, probably just a coincidence, but my watch hasn't make it through the afternoon for few weeks now. Barely 6 hours (with EVERYTHING disable, even bluetooth, in Airplane mode).

As of today, the watch will turn on and turn off few seconds later regardless the battery %.

Lg answered nicely that they would take a look at it, and ask $20 for the diagnostic if I don't want them to process the fix!!! And I read online that the battery replacement is $60. I would rather throw it away...

Anyway, I have 2 questions :confused: :

Does someone knows where to source this damn battery (BL-S7)?? Out of stock on ebay

Did someone try to fit a Watch Urbane battery (BL-S6) which is 570mAh instead of 430mAh? Or anyone knows this battery size? (I know the connector is different but at this point it's not the biggest issue :D)

That could help many people meeting issues with this watch... (I'm done with LG!!)

Thanks!!
[LG Watch Sport] booster33:
Ok, I found the answer to my second question, and obviously bigger capacity = battery battery

the BL-S6 (Urban 2nd G) is about 31x27

the BL-S7 (Sport Watch) is about 28x27

So I'm still interested to know where to buy the BL-S7.

Thanks,
[LG Watch Sport] stag74:
Assuming I can find a BL-S7 battery, how easy is it to strip the watch down to change?

My watch is so random with shutdowns and % battery left remaining I am thinking it is all down to the battery after over 18 months daily usage/charging.
[LG Watch Sport] sirdizzle415:
Also interested in this.
[LG Watch Sport] sirdizzle415:
Disassembly is fairly easy if you take your time and disconnect the connection points. Nothing is really glued in place aside from the bottom cover and the battery to the rest of the chassis. I was able to get to the battery within 20 minutes.

I was also able to find a battery on ebay. We'll see how assembly goes when it's delivered.
[LG Watch Sport] stag74:
That is great, do you have the link to the battery on ebay?

Did you also have the same issues with random shutdowns, not being able to restart unless on the charger etc?

Keep us posted!

Thanks.
[LG Watch Sport] booster33:
I confirm that disassembling the watch is pretty easy and quick, the only thing is you can say goodbye to the waterproof!

[MENTION=3706279]sirdizzle415[/MENTION], does it come with the sealing? Please keep us updated if it does fix the reboot issue and if can even share the link :angel:

I only found 1 used....
[LG Watch Sport] sirdizzle415:
I wouldn't trust it to be waterproof anymore, but I'm mostly ok with that. If this watch survives a little while longer with a used $25 battery, I'd call that a win over buying another $300+ watch.

I should be getting the new battery tomorrow, should be pretty quick to put it back together. We'll see what happens.
[LG Watch Sport] sirdizzle415:
FYI, My new battery is still in route, so haven't had a chance to test it. It is available brand new on ebay though... If anyone wants to give it a try, the link is here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Wa...1e1230fc8:m:mALL_k1FrV1tgtB_vyDJXTg:rk:1:pf:0

Make sure to select the LG-S7 battery for the Watch Sport.
[LG Watch Sport] sirdizzle415:
Successful install of the battery! Watch no longer shuts off, and doesn't need to be on the charger to turn on.

I did try to carefully take my old battery apart. Multiple sources mentioned that it can be repaired by soldering a zero ohm link/resistor between two points. I could not identify them on the BL-S7 battery, so I probably won't be doing that.

All in all, it was a $25 dollar battery for me, so not a bad price to pay to extend the life.
[LG Watch Sport] booster33:
I just ordered the one from ebay! That's great it's back in stock!! [MENTION=3706279]sirdizzle415[/MENTION] Yours was a used one?? how did you glue back the back cover?

I know the watch won't be waterproof anymore, but I'm ok with that too.
[LG Watch Sport] sirdizzle415:
My existing seal was mostly intact. The back cover also has tabs that snap it back in place.
[LG Watch Sport] stag74:
Placed my order for a new battery.

There is simply nothing else to replace the Sport with LTE currently...unless you like apples.
[LG Watch Sport] booster33:
I just received the new battery!

Results are not so great so far, the watch does stay alive and do not reboot/ shut down randomly anymore.

But after an hour using it to update app, hard reset it, I lost 40%... I didn't charge the battery yet, so I don't want to be pessimistic (yet) but I think my main issue wasn't the battery.

The watch seems too warm to me, probably something wrong with the hardware, other than the battery.

Plus, damn the watch is so slow with the new version of Android wear, so laggy!!

But true there is no better android watch anyway, which is a shame...
