[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ShadowFlame303:
Currently on EMUI 8 and looking to update to EMUI 9 but I still haven't received the update. Looking to use the dload method maybe.

I'm on ALP-L09 8.0.0.137 (C212) but it's a custom version I believe. It says "Custum version: CUSTC212D001"

I was wondering if I could download ALP-L09 9.0.0.159 (C212) from FirmwareFinder (Says it's not approved for installation even though it's the same region, probably because I have a custom version from my cellphone provider AT&T Mexico) and install it via the dload method.

Would this brick my phone and how would I do the dload method exactly?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] lamerto:
I'm on the same boat, and 159 has been in FF for over a month now only in FullOTA. Pinche ATT nunca aprueba rápido las cosas....
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
You can't install regular updates as dload. You would need service firmware from androidhost.ru
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ShadowFlame303:
Can't seem to find a file with the right model/region on the website but if I do, how would I go about doing the dload method?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
Extract the downloaded zip. Go into the Software folder, copy 'dload' folder to the root of a micro sd. Put micro sd in your phone, reboot while holding vol up + down. This will put you in dload mode where update will start (takes a while).

Alternatively you can open dialer app and enter:*#*#2846579#*#*, this will open Projectmenu. Tap on Software upgrade, SD Upgrade, 'yes'. Phone will reboot to dload mode and start update.

[MENTION=2247733]ante0[/MENTION] i have usa version and it doesnt have microsd slot, i was able to download full rom from ff along with data rom as well, i extracted update.app, now do i have to flash each partition seperately or just system and i have no clue what those commands are, i have tried it with usb otg and dialer pad method but it said install failed, i also registered it in ff and tried erecovery method but my phone does not boot to erecovery only regular recovery, i can boot to fastboot fine, this phone was never bl unlocked, any ideas on how to proceed.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
It doesn't work with firmware from FF. Those are online only.

What happens if you boot device and hold volume up after the Huawei logo?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] lingarajug:
[MENTION=2247733]ante0[/MENTION] i have tried that and the phone just boots regularly.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
USB + vol up then?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] lingarajug:
It goes into normal recovery not erecovery, i am on 129 december security update.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ShadowFlame303:
So I cant find firmware with my same region (C212) but could I still install firmware for the same model (ALP-L09) but different region? This one for example: Huawei Mate 10 orange all HLRCF ALP-L09 9.0.0.161(C109E4R1P9T8) Firmware 9.0.0 r3 EMUI9.0.0 05014VKY [androidhost.ru].zip
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
Not without rebranding. Which you would have to unlock to do. (or pre-june firmware where dc is not patched)
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ShadowFlame303:
Oh, nice to know. Since I can't find firmware for my region on androidhost, do you know of any other websites where I could find C212 firmware?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ShadowFlame303:
Would this file work/website work? https://firmware.gem-flash.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=file&id=139570

But the update.app size to large cannot copy to SD card
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] lingarajug:
U need to format sdcard with exfat not fat32 file system due to file size restriction of 4gb for fat32 and NTFS won't work as android cant read.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] revjamescarver:
Pie

No, you can't just download and install it that way first off it is not approved which means your stock recovery won't install it, second there is no "dload" method for upgrades, that only works for service ROMs, and third, if your phone has a carrier provided ROM that is customized, updates will come from the carrier.

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------

Nope, doesn't work that way, to use a different region ROM you would have to rebranding your phone to another region.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
dload firmware has a sd_update.zip in it. That one you don't extract.

regular update.zip will not work with dload.

It's probably the same as the one on FF. So might be a waste of money as you have to pay for it.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] LWMcClam:
Well this is my question. Windows Mobile can vary from 26mb to 80mb in a rom. But the iPhone operating system is 700mb.

http://www.roughlydrafted.com/2007/0...ernel-and-ram/

Could we develop a version of Windows Mobile, or even a small linux that could be installed on a SD card and utilize the phones memory as RAM? This would alot us more room software render better graphics and give us a much larger kernel that would also increase stability and speed.

With the current specs of a Kaiser, you might be able to use even something like Windows 98 in the background with a java GUI.

I'm just throwing out an idea, let me know what you think.:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] stuart_f:
It's less than 500MB but we won't quibble.

Go away, read what you wrote and come back when you realise that's just drivel.

Hey sorry for title

i want to know how to make my phone just work like Feature phone on one click.

And another click Phone like super beast mode without Any reboot...

My motive behind this Power And battery

Feature phone mean i get super dooper SOT
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Kirahvi:
One click super dooper mode eh? Just download more ram and overcharge your phone during a full moon.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] bud7dha:
You need a kernel manager, like EX Kernel Manager, that can support at least two profiles. However, I don't think such an app will work on the fly - switching between profiles without a reboot. Another option is Spectrum, but the kernel has to support the injector script. There's a thread about Spectrum here: https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-spectrum-kernel-manager-users-t3601542. Good luck!
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] maxip:
You could achieve some of this using Tasker (or similar) as you could address brightness / replication status / radios / Bluetooth / etc. Won't allow kernel changes (unless rooted and using a 3rd party tool) but for me, the majority of battery is spent on screen being on & background tasks.

Is it me, or is this tempered glass screen protector really difficult to apply without getting air bubbles? Does anyone have any tips on installing it?
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] xiaNLJ:
get your phone and tempered glass in your bathroom , install it after a shower ,steam makes a dust-free room. and before u did it make sure u read the install instruction.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] dermotti:
Tempered seems the easiest not to get air bubbles imho.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] Frankenscript:
+1 the shower room trick. I do this all the time.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] lemonspeakers:
That's been the case since forever, but THIS particular screen protector, the official one by OnePlus, is by far, THE WORSE.

Trust me when I say, I've ordered more than 7 (seven) official screen protector and they are the toughest TGSP I've ever applied in my life and I've applied hundreds of tempered glass screen protectors.

1) The back plastic is incredibly difficult to separate. You will most likely warp the glass (or crack it) while separating it and risk getting lint stuck on the adhesive when the glass and plastic snaps apart (yes it will snap).

2) most likely a bubble will persist and will not go down no matter how hard to you to work it out. And it's not the adhesive that's the culprit, it's somehow the screen and the glass protector don't mate perfectly. Because if you reverse the TGSP and install it backwards with the notch on the bottom of the screen, it adheres perfectly without bubbles indicating the adhesive is not at fault.

3) You'll get pissed and blame OnePlus for such crappy product and will request a refund but they'll give you a very, very hard time this PayPal is your best friend to get the refund.

4) You'll find a lot of bubbles. And I mean a lot. And the official hard squeegee is not as good as your finger nail to work those bubbles out.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] crzycrkr:
In my experience it was easy to install and I had no issue with bubbles at all. Positioning was easy with the supplied case and the few bubbles that were there worked out in about 30 seconds. I will say removing it from the backing was somewhat difficult
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] Sassapphras:
I had trouble with this too. What I did was wrap the cleaning cloth around my finger tip and press hard into the bubbles, rubbing my finger around them until they "squeeged" out. I had like 15 bubbles, most were small, but one was a little bigger and was quite stubborn. I just worked a little longer on it and it finally came out.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] kakisadan:
Can anyone recommend a better tempered glass rather than the overpriced OEM oneplus glass? This is my second one and I'm sick of how difficult it is to apply and also the price isn't the most friendly. Thanks

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Hyperbomb64:
Hi all! I ordered a phone from ebay and it's supposed to arrive soon. The phone is supposed to be new, but after looking around trying to buy from well known stores that don't have any in stock I'm kind of thinking its not actually new. My Droid Turbo is not doing so hot anymore so it was time for an upgrade. Anyway I'm wondering if there are any ways to tell if a phone is refurbished. I've tried the ##786# on my Turbo and it doesn't do anything (also tried the other variant) so I don't know if that would be a reliable method on the V30+.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] scutterflux:
I'm sorry to report this, but I don't think you can easily know that. You could take it apart to check for different glue type or an off-brand battery might reveal repairs. Maybe scratch the screen with materials of known hardness to check if it's the correct Gorilla glass hardness. There might be ways to tell if the software/model was changed but I'm new to the LG way of doing things and can't help you with that yet.

I hope I was of help to you.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
This phone is a great successor to the "Droid Turbo" (the best known of the Moto Quarks). I looked for a year, started

this extensive thread in 2017

comparing all the phones available, and narrowed it to the V30.

LG V30/V30+

* 1440P OLED (537 ppi)

* Qi wireless charging

* 3.5mm headset jack

* Quad DAC

* DTS 3D stereo (now on US998, but coming to others)

* IP68 dust/water resistance

* rear camera OIS on normal lens - plus 120 degree wide angle lens

superfast fingerprint sensor

* 64GB (V30) or 128GB (V30+) internal storage

* microSD port for additional storage

* bootloader unlock and root

* no notch

However, you are right that now several sellers on eBay are claiming new in box -- unopened -- but are really refurbished. I ordered V30+ to have another backup -- and instead was sent 64GB V30 in V30+ box, and had a 64GB microSD sim card already inserted . That's' NOT a new V30+ phone. That's a scam attempt to claim "hey there's 128GB storage!". :rolleyes: Yeah, the box said V30+, but inside was just V30. :rolleyes: So, obviously "refurbished." I got a refund.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Hyperbomb64:
No problem. I probably won't go as far as taking it apart. I'll just check the IMEI and such and see if I can get any clues. Under heavy use for a few days I should know if its good or not.

Yeah I decided on this phone because of your thread in the Turbo forum. I went to see if anyone had any good tips to fix a broken power button and saw the comment you made about the 2019 basically being the end for the Turbo unless I keep running stock marshmallow. So hopefully this phone isn't a pile of junk so I can have something reliable. I guess I'll know in a few hours lol.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Also XDA app truncated my bulleted points in the app view. Just now, I had to go remove the list function and just have asterisks.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Hyperbomb64:
So got the phone and so far its come with a screen protector installed and the serial number on the sticker in the back doesn't match whats in the phone. Imei is only off by one number and the phone works on my network. So doesn't appear to be new but it looks like everything is in working order.

The back isn't completely flush with the phone so I'm not sure if it's been opened or if its supposed to be like that.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Return it if you don't feel comfortable with it.

If IMEI one number off, you mean one place has one more or one less number listed on box from firmware view (12 digits one place, 13 digits another)? That's normal. Don't ask me why.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] IshsXda:
Reality is, many "new" phones in ebay are openbox or refurb/used/like new. From my experience, if you can get a good deal, then getting an open box isnt a big deal. They are basically almost new lol.

But to answer your question, look for evidence of wear such as pocket gunk, screen burn in, stock software/patch level etc.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
I would, at least, complain about the phone NOT being brand new. They should offer a discount because they lied. Either way, you also have a case to return the device as it's not as advertised. I'd say get the discount at least... they owe you that much, at least. (I don't know how to do this, but I'd lead with just saying that the device isn't new, and letting them make an offer... others may have better advice.)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
When I complained, they offered me $45 discount to shut up. I gave them bad review and opened case with eBay. I told them I wanted full refund, but could have taken the $45 and kept the phone.

They gave me full refund, free shipping back and then offered me another $25 to change my review to positive.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ldeveraux:
You didn't accept that $25, right??
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Hyperbomb64:
I ended up just sending the phone back. It was clearly refurbished and had no warranty so if it crapped out on me I would've been out of luck. Ended up just buying the LS998 from B&H. More expensive, but at least I know it'll be what I paid for.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ldeveraux:
Should have checked Swappa!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] NeonHD:
Oh god, you couldn't be more than right. After receiving my "brand new" open box V30 from eBay, I found several tiny scratches on one of the corners of the chassis. I took a picture of it and sent it to the seller, and they offered me either to keep the phone with partial refund of $50, or send the phone back for a full refund. Of course I didn't mind it, so I kept it and got $50 back. I regret not bargaining with them though, should've said something like $75 or even $100 instead. Who knows, maybe they'll go with it.

What I'm concerned about the most is whether or not the phone was refurbished or not. If it was, then it would lose its IP water rating.

---------- Post added at 01:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 AM ----------

EXACTLY! When I messaged the seller about those scratches, they told me that there wasn't any scratches when they shipped it to me and tried to imply that it got scratched during shipping. They were obviously lying as the box that it shipped with came intact. I don't like the fact that they were lying, however their newest ads for the V30 now says "may or may not contain small scratches", so I guess they admitted it.
