dload method works with SD_update.tag firmware

My CLT-L09 was on 9.0.0.251(C432E5) and I wanted to hard reset because battery life had gotten a lot worse. I had root via Magisk with an unlocked bootloader. I flashed the latest TWRP from their app and did a factory reset. After that I couldn't boot anymore and I could only get into fastboot, eRecovery and dload. I think I had OEM unlock turned on, but I should have removed all passwords and fingerprints because fastboot was pretty much useless because FRP lock was on.

Previously when I had soft-bricked the phone, I could recover by flashing all those partitions from something like HWOTA but with an FRP lock that was no longer an option. I spent a whole evening trying all sorts of things with eRecovery like setting DNS on the wifi router and hacking HiSuite but I'm pretty sure none of those methods work anymore.

Thankfully I came across this thread and was able to fix the phone with the method described here. It took me a while to figure out that you need firmware that has the Software\dload\SD_update.tag in it. None of the firmware on Firmware Finder seems to have that and a lot of the new ones on Android Host also do not. It seems that correct firmwares are the ones with separate folders for L09 and L29 making them quite a bit larger at 5GB, compared to the incompatible 3GB ones.

Thanks so much for all your help!

Generally, since EMUI 8, TWRP does not read Data and Internal memory.

Since EMUI 9.1, due to EROFS, System is read only

Factory reset must be performed only from eRecovery:

Before that, Magisk must be uninstalled and TWRP reverted back to stock Recovery
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] lalovzg:
It worked!

Are you kidding me right now? How!?

I wasn in a state where I could ONLY access fastboot to recover the phone (yeah, maybe DC-Phoenix and stuff would have made an awesome job), the only thing that I had never tried was to "fastboot erase userdata". How does that even work?

I was thinking in buying a DC account for credits, maybe paying a service center... and in the end, what made a huge difference was the only thing I did that was different from every single previous attempt: erase userdata (which I only know its app or user data mounted in /data).

Holy molly! Thank you so much, you saved me like 30 euros.

Any help is appreciated . I tried to go from 8.1.163 to android 9 and is bricked now ...black screen and fastboot
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Luis2k33-XDA:
Send it to a Huawei service centre, said to the staff that the phone got bricked updating itself, and normally they will change for free the motherboard, in case you have bootloader code it will not work more with the new imei in the new motherboard

Mate 20 pro bricked...HELP !

Hi guys, looked through all the old threads on this topic and come to a brick wall ! Followed the steps to restore my mate 20 pro from the instructions but am unable to proceed as the firmware file which i have downloaded does not contain ANY folders named 'Dload' and when i search the whole file with the search icon in the corner it does not find any update_sd either what do i do im confused now...? Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance.

I have a P20 Pro bricked with Bootloader Locked and FRP unlocked.

The phone was a CLT-L29 C652 (DEMO), but after some issue now it is Chipset-Boston 8.1.0.001 (PR00). I cannot use dload method, I got "System update failed". I cannot use DC Phoenix nor HCU Client. I cannot got Phone in TestPoint mode (I cannot do it in hardware method).

The story: I got phone in Manufacture Mode, then I start process to enable testpoint mode with success. My phone got with BlackScreen but it still works in fastboot. So Using HCU Client I unlock bootloader. After that I use DC Phoenix to flash the C432 version of CLT-L29 8.1.0, after all work I got phone that stucks on HUAWEI animation logo. I got with surprise my phone was now a Chipset-Boston 8.1.0!

Then I tried again to return in testpoint mode, but nothing happens. I can enter in Fastboot and eRecovery.

Someone can help me? Please???

How did you get wind down?

Edit: I found it inside wellbeing app but it doesn't work.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] LazerL0rd:
Most of the features are tied into the Google Settings app while our system uses the Sony variant. Even on AOSP quite a few of these don't work.

The added stuff to settings also includes some kernel switches (DT2W) which wouldn't do anything as our kernel doesn't support that specific feature too.

I would personally suggest installing the Pix3fy module and taking what you get from there. I personally think Digital Wellbeing will become a feature and or part of a possible Pie MR2 (9.1).

May I ask why you don't just use Pix3lify. Cause it's working and stable on my XZP, it supports non Magisk installations, and if you select slim mode and disable everything except accent and overlay (it asks you during installation) you get the same result without the massive effort?

Hi,

Has anyone got the old style dialer, im using duttys 6.1 which is awasome but i dont get on with the new dialer and defaul call filter, After the old one that was a blue color that if you pressed down it went to speedials and left i think went to call log (all filter).

Thanks a lot

Jason
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] naser404:
Man, Dialers arent made the same, one thing i reliazed is that HTC dialers are slow, i hate having to press a couple of times to end call & close the dialer & still wait about a second.

I just tried Alex's Ultra clean rom wich is using HTC dialer but its tweaked nicely 4 speed or is it the rom?

The dialer that comes with Duttys rom is faster then HTC but i dont like the GUI.

I had the Imate Ultimate 9502 & the dialer is by far the fastest with great gui, now if someone can find that, would be awsome.

I would love a dialer where once i press end call it instantly closes.

The search 4 the top dialers+ tweaks continues =)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mccune:

The dialer you are asking about in the first post is in the latest ROM Dutty made. ;)

Dont suppose anyone has the actual cab as my current duttys rom is spot on and i dont want to re rom it again as mine is just right.

The imate was a great phone, I loved the VGA screen, the great dialer speed & looks, Keyboard was good but not great, all in all it was a joy to see imate finally coming out with a great phone, but I had to revert back to HTC cause I was dying of agony of not being able to flash & try other ROMs.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] android_dan:
Here's the 411. The first issue is this, when my phone reaches 100% and I disconnect the power cord it will still read as charging. Even if it doesn't reach full charge when I remove the cord it will continue to read "charging". It will do this until I turn off the phone and wait a minute or two and power up. That brings on my second problem. Let's say before I restart it reads 87%. Upon restarting it will read 68% and the longer I leave the phone off the more charge I lose. If I were to fully charge the phone and leave it off say an hour it might read 25% upon restart. Ideas?

PS

When I bought the phone off Ebay I bought insurance. I called and instead of fixing my phone they simply gave me a gift card to Ebay for the cost of the phone. They said the phone is mine to do with as I please.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] TokedUp:
Hello. Recently left Google Fi and a Pixel XL for Spectrum Mobile's $45 unlimited plan and a beautiful black Note 9. Spectrum Wireless runs on the Verizon network. My question is does anyone know what way I'll be getting updates for the phone? Will it be Verizon updates and security patches? Or will Spectrum wireless have separate firmware updates?

I've searched every where for answers and even called Spectrum. No answers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] daniel4653:
I would just buy a Verizon or US unlocked model and use that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RaymondPJR:
I imagine it would depend on the model number of the phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] CrazyApe18:
Go to About Phone in Settings. Then click Software Information. Finally, scroll down to "Service provider SW ver" and tell us what's in there. Based on that, I'll be able to tell you where your updates will come from.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] TokedUp:
Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] CrazyApe18:
Your updates will be delivered through the Samsung FOTA servers, as approved by Spectrum. They are, unfortunately, still on September patch (ARH6).

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
I get that this is likely covering old ground,but,have you contacted Spectrum regarding updates?

https://mobile.spectrum.com/support...ions-about-spectrum-mobile-we're-here-to-help

Granted,whoever you speak with is likely clueless..... just ruling out any/all possibilities & giving Spectrum CS the benefit of the doubt that they may actually have accurate information regarding who controls /issues the actual update for your device.

My guess would be if this device has carrier specific apps/etc.... & the update will come from Spectrum.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] TokedUp:
Yes I have contacted them. They have no idea. The phone is bought straight from Samsung thru them I think. So they have no info on the devices they sell. Which is ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
He can't. Unfortunately Spectrum wireless won't allow you to bring your own device. You have to use their phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] daniel4653:
Damn that sucks. What if you buy a cheap phone from them. Grab the Sim and pop it into your compatible phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Hmm...that's POSSIBLE. I'm not sure as I don't have Spectrum, I just did some research on them ironically yesterday.

I would think that would work; however, remember Sprint is capable of blocking Unlocked phones from other carriers. You can't just stick your SIM in a non-Sprint phone. They have to whitelist the IMEI before it will activate.

I realize Spectrum is a Verizon MVNO, not Sprint, I'm just using Sprint as an example to say it's possible.

Plus I'm not sure Spectrum has any cheap phones.
