[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Pyteck:
Hi Mi Max 3 Users,

Would someone be kind enough to check and confirm if you can use your bluetooth headsets with microphones on WhatsApp calls on the Mi Max 3 Phone.

I read a user's review that the microphone on your Bluetooth headset WILL NOT work (as in the user on the other end of the line will not hear you) when making WhatsApp Calls on this phone. The user says the Bluetooth microphone and headset works normally and as it should when making regular phone calls but DOES NOT work with Skype, WhatsApp, Facebook and other messaging apps. User claims that handset was tested at a Xiaomi store and they said that this feature wasn't supported on the phone.

Is someone kind enough to confirm this please.

I intend to buy this phone rather than the Redmi Note 5 and the phone being able to support the use of Bluetooth headsets with microphone and the mic on them for WhatsApp calls is a crucial element in my decision process. Everything else seem ok (unless you guys have noticed other problems in daily use).

Thanks in advance for your help.

I recently received a Samsung Galaxy S7 after my brother passed away and left it to me. The PIN is unknown, and Android Device Manager was not set up on the phone. I can only make the phone ring using the Manager, but nothing else. Is there any procedure that can unlock this phone and preserve the contents, since there may be photos and videos on there that I want to keep. There is no SD card. Thank you for any help, it would mean do much to my family.

Hi, Please help me, My P20 PRO CLT-L29 is bricked during re-branding. FRP is locked and boot-loader is re-locked. I am stucked at recovery. Factory reset from recovery finishes successfully but still the device doesn't boot up. E-recovery shows "gettting package info failed." Tried DNS e-recovery method through firmware finder but the DNS is not working!

Is there any way to unbrick my device?

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] QuazIqbal:
FINALLY SOLVED by flashing the firmware files through dload method via USB- OTG. You can search and download firmware files on https://androidhost.ru/search.html

Feel free to ask if you face any difficulties.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] forever_lol:
How did you flash firmware via usb otg? Could You please link tutorial?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] QuazIqbal:
I didn't find any guide. I was in fact guided by Mr. oslo83 in a telegram group https://t.me/flashing_huawei

The process is very simple. I will try to reproduce the steps I followed as under :-

1) Download the correct firmware for your device according to your region from https://androidhost.ru/search.html and extract it. (Note :The downloaded firmware must be of the same build number installed or superior bcoz downgrading can hard brick your device)

2) After extraction you will find a folder named "dload" (This is our concerned folder, pay attention!)

3) Inside the 'dload' you will find one zip file named 'update_sd', extract its content within the dload folder but keep the un-extracted zip also as it is.

4) Apart from 'update_sd.zip' you will also find two subfolders inside 'dload'.

In my case the two subfolders were '... 'update_sd_CLT-L29_hw_eu' & ''update_sd_CLT-L09_hw_eu'

5) Since my model was CLT-L29 therefore I deleted the subfolder named 'update_sd_CLT-L09_hw_eu'

6) Now rename the subfolder "update_sd_CLT-L29_hw_eu" to "CLT-L29_hw_eu" and on opening it you will find a same named zip inside. Like before extract its content within the subfolder and also keep the zip file intact'

7) That's it. Your 'dload' folder is now ready to be transferred to the USB drive for flashing.

8) Attach your OTG-USB to your device and restart your device. While restarting keep pressing Volume UP & DOWN key simultaneously. Your phone will now enter into dload mode and will start flashing after verifying firmware.

9) Bingo! you have now fully working stock rom. (Bootloader locked, FRP Unlocked, E-recovery functional again)

Note: Before doing this operation make sure your USB drive is perfectly working and exFAT formatted. You can check your drive by H2testW on windows. In my case my first USB drive was faulty and that's why dload was giving me errors.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] forever_lol:
Thank You very much! Last question Did you format your sd card as FAT32 or exfat?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] QuazIqbal:
Oops forgot to mention, exFAT.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] forever_lol:
Hi I've just made my own attempt and it eventually worked like a charm. only one thing: In my case those subfolders name were CLT-L29_hw_eu and CLT-L09_hw_eu. It's important not to rename them. (I removed L09 as my model is L29) Firstly I renamed it to update_sd_CLT-L29_hw_eu and software update failed. I restored then the original name (and also deleted meta-inf folders) and volia worked like a charm :)!

*Once again thank You very much for Your help. It can be life saver in future :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] QuazIqbal:
I'm glad it worked. Yes... Yes.... I had also renamed it but forgot to mention it. I have updated the info. Thanks for pointing it out. In my case I didn't removed meta-inf folders and luckily it didn't pose as problem.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] QuazIqbal:
I think your case is of Xloader downgrade brick, as per your vendor country info I think you can try to flash CLT-L29 C432 build by the process mention above.

Hi,

Same problem after a rebrand but after done many "bullshits" my P20P have a black screen.

What is strange is that i can use fastboot.

Does OTG solution will help me?

Any sugestions for my trouble?

THX ^^
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] QuazIqbal:
I think OTG dload solution should work. Is your bootloader locked? What about FRP? What was the last firmware you flashed?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dabakh:
How l flash it with what tools?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] QuazIqbal:
No any tool is required. You just have to transfer the dload folder to your EX-FAT formatted USB drive and keep pressing the volume up & down during restart of your mobile. Your mobile will automatically detect the dload folder and start verifying and flashing the firmware.

The detailed steps is outlined in post no. #4 of this thread. Hope it well help you out.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] aux6d:
Bootloader unlocked & FRP unlocked.

I flashed the phone with the 9.0 CTL29 with FunkyHuawei but fail.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] QuazIqbal:
Since your BL & FRP is unlocked you can try to flash system image of your original build CLT-AL01 (try the most recent) via fastboot.

There is a tool which will assist you doing that https://pro-teammt.ru/huawei-multi-tool/ though I haven't tried this but you can dig into it. It might prove beneficial to you. You may get more info from their telegram group. https://t.me/Multi_Tool_8_TeamMT

Anyone able to just let me know how to put the files on the USB drive? I keep getting Update Failed
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] :
Hi, I'm about hours to jump from my window.

I wanted to flash EMUI 9 official C432 firmware, but I did it with HuRU so the compilation number was bad. I tried again with the official EMUI 9 beta update "The TOOL", but at some point TWRP lost conection with my PC, so as a dumb guy, I reseted the Developer Options, and the "Unlock OEM" option was greyed out and couldn't enable it.

So I rebooted to TWRP and made a Factory wipe, but I kept having problems with my pc detecting my phone. (I tried changing usb cable and port, reinstalling drivers, erasing all USB devices, etc). So I dont know why I did a Wipe Data partition, but it took so long that I turned off my phone.

So now, here is my problem/s:

>Bootloader unlocked/FRP Locked

>Constant Bootloop, nor OS or recovery works

>As I wiped Data partition, OS and TWRP or any recovery is not available (maybe?)

>As I have FRP Locked, I can't install any recovery nor .img (when I try to flash anything it says: "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)"

>Also I installed Magisk, so when I run command to LOCK bootloader, it says that there is root: "FAILED (remote: root type is risk)"

fastboot data, maybe could help:

It seems like "OEM unlock" option is inactive in Pie. I mean it's still available when you update to pie from oreo. However when You do factory reset this setting will be greyed out. (Mate 20 Pro users have the same issue out of the box as it was already released with pie.) Thank You huawei.

I think if I were you I would try to downgrade to oreo (if you of course can boot to system) using funky huawei (old hisuite method and choose downgrade firmware).

If only guys from androidhost.ru could create rollback package (rollback version of fw 156 for c432), that could be flashed via usb otg it would help a lot of users. I tried to do it myself but it installation failed.

"1) Download the correct firmware for your device according to your region from https://androidhost.ru/search.html and extract it. (Note :The downloaded firmware must be of the same build number installed or superior bcoz downgrading can hard brick your device) "

Unless You have speciall rollback firmware (like the one listed on funky that brings you back to 156) do no try to downgrade. Most likely it won't work or in worst case you'll brick your device.

Guys please. Firmware provided by androidhost.ru is NOT the same as the one downloaded from firmware finder.

You cannot simplye replace files and make it work.

When it comes to 157 - I've just downloaded 3 firmwares from androidhost.ru and in none of the downloaded packages was even mentioned it was a rollback version, I really don't know where this information come from.

Questions regarding how to are already replied in this thread. Do some research.
