Read his post again. He wants to Sim unlock.

You just told him to do something he doesn't need to do.

[MENTION=9772709]PDQL[/MENTION] the T-Mobile version can only be Sim unlocked with the device unlock app while connected to the T-Mobile network. There is no way to hack the app.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] aslezak:
Right. After the bootloader unlock it goes through setting the 0000 permissions on id_00 which should sim unlock his phone.

Do you have a better idea for him? Is the T-Mobile software still going to block the sim after this? If so he can flash the retail software and voila, no more lock.

After reading all of your link I see what you're saying. However your pictures are in English, the OP used Google translate to write their post, that will translate the words in your link but not the screen pictures which describe the part they need.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] blake .l:
You have to use the unlock app on the phone and if that dont work you have to contact t-mobile and they can unlock the sim lock, BUT they WILL NOT unlock it if the phone has an outstanding bill owed on the phone from the previous owner. Unlocking the bootloader has nothing to do with sim unlocking I unlocked my bootloader same day i got my phone but had to call t-mobile to get the sim lock removed.....

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mazinya:
After searching and reading, it comes down to either the 20x or the regular 20. I also thought about the View 20 but that is off the shelf now. I read and watched everything on youtube about them both so i know what to expect mostly. But i do have some important questions.. Ill start by saying currently own the Mate 9. Since the mate 9, for some reason, i am always drawn to Huawei mate phones

First thing I would like to know about the 20x is how is the speakerphone loudness when talking to someone else. Is it strong enough? Can you hear the other person clearly and loudly? I know that listening to music and speaking on the speakerphone not necessarily have the same quality and volume.

Everyday use... is it a hassle to carry on you? Is it a hassle to use with one hand?

Last thing and most important i wanna know is bang for the buck, value for money.

Only thing that deters me from the 20X is the price. It will cost me about $970 doesnt matter if i buy it online or in my country (import tax, etc bring it to that price even if i buy online for $750) . I have NEVER thought i would spend that much on a damn phone, and even thinking about it now sounds ridiculous. In my whole life time, the most I spent on a phone was $650, but that phone is the only one which really gives me the strong itch to spend on it, and IF i do, there is just NO WAY i am going to upgrade again in 2-3 years. So this HAS to be something that will keep on running smoothly stay relevant for at least 3 years, just like the Mate 9 i have now.

I dont game at all, but I do like to browse a lot and watch Netflix so the big screen and the insane speakers sounds great. Can I afford the phone? yes I can. But if i do, i need to know that its totally worth the price.

The other option is the Mate 20 (pro is a no go) which sounds good too (4GB/128) , but obviously not as good as the 20x and will cost me $660.. thats a $300 price difference. So I really need your UNBIASED advice.

I am also worried about updates.. until these days i have never received Oreo on my Mate 9
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Governa:
For me the choice is obvious. The Mate 20 X has a bigger screen, AMOLED display, larger battery, better camera.

Side note, Android 9 is due to be released for the Mate 9 (C432) in the upcoming weeks. You might want to check Firmware Finder if you're still stuck on Nougat.

I've upgraded from a Mate 9 to the 20 X only for the larger screen. I was quite happy with it otherwise.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] ajsmsg78:
That $300 you'd be saving over the course of two years is only $12 a month. If you had a Mate 20 X and a Mate 20 in front of you and you only owned the Mate 20 you'd probably kick yourself for not spending the extra few hundred and getting the Mate 20 X. If you plan on keeping the phone for a while then don't go cheap and just spend the extra money. Everything is loud on the 20 X. You won't be disappointed. I said the same thing, that I'd never spend this much money on a phone again until I heard about the 20 X. I'm glad I spent the money because the phone is awesome.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mazinya:
Firmware Finder wont help. i tried everything. my phone wont get updates.

Big screen is also what i want.. although 6.5" with flat screen isnt that small either. Just hard to decide if phone is worth almost $1k
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] filip_pine:
I have 2 units MATE 20 X, just like the guys above me said, the most i have ever spent on a phone was 475 EUR back in time when Nokia 93i was Released. Since then i have owned Galaxy Note 3 Clone, LeTV Le Max X900 ( which i buiild it myself with all the parts ) and Xiaomi Mi Mix. When Mate 20 X was released, i knew it since the first second this phone is for me... all i wanted was a bigger screen , as you may notice my Screen Experience has increased with every phone i have owned : Nokia N93i, Note 3 Clone, LeTv LeMax, Xiaomi Mi Mix 6.4inch.

Mate 20 X has almost everything you could possibly want from a Smartphone and still is cheaper than it's competitors : Big AMOLED Screen, Dual Stereo Speakers, Leica Triple Camera, 5000MAh battery. These are the reason i choose Mate 20 X. I' a little bit of a maniac, so i bought another one as a backup unit...

Get the Mate 20X, it is worth spending the money on this amazing smartphone.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] ThaDraGun:
Since the price drop I think the mate 20 PRO is actually cheaper then the mate 20x. It dropped by $450!

5G version of mate 20 x has been announced, but I'm hoping price and release date pops up soon. There are not many details yet. Then maybe the 20x will drop in price.

I really want the mate 20x but I don't know if I want to wait a bit to see if the price will drop or wait for the 5G version so that it is more future proof. I'm the same when I buy this phone it will quite a while before I get something else.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] filip_pine:
The price of Mate X is 2299$ and it will be released mid year... Price will not drop so fast ... The market for that phone is a totally different one... What it scares me about Mate X is 5G and only 4500MAh Battery with all that screen on it... Thanks, but i'll stick with Mate 20 X
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] ThaDraGun:
No you missread

There is a 5G version of the Mate 20X being released.

I'm not talking about the folding mate x phone.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mazinya:
Would you recommend getting it from ebay? never MSRP is selling it, but im worried buying an almost 1k phone from ebay. The other option i have is Clove UK, but they are $95 more expensive than MSRP but i assume more reliable
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] baskinrobbin:
Mate 20 Pro price has been reduced so it's on par with the 20 X. If I didn't want a large screen size I'd go with the 20 Pro. No reason to consider the 20
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mazinya:
20 pro is a no go for me. Dont like the wide notch and dont like the long and narrow screen.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] CTR640:
Pro is ugly too but that's my opinion of course. It's a no go for me and it also misses the 3.5mm audio jack.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mazinya:
I have never even considered the pro. it was never an option.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] CTR640:
Same for me. Have you made your decision wether to go for the Mate 20 or 20X?

It sucks Huawei doesn't deliver it globally :/
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] esselite:
Go for 20x. Its pricing is very competitive even now. There is no sense of Waiting. I mean, how much it has to drop so this woul be enough for you?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] ajsmsg78:
I buy my phones from them including pre ordering the 20 X. (never-msrp) They are a very reliable seller and I've never had an issue.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mazinya:
I understood that he is importing it from Singapore (not sure about that), and Clove is selling UK stock.. could this have effect on updates? I certainly wouldnt want that what happened with my Mate 9 would happen again with a $1000 phone
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] scienceguylabs:
"Everyday use... is it a hassle to carry on you? Is it a hassle to use with one hand?"

It's not a hassle at all to carry. It fits in pockets, etc. It is rather tall, but if you're interested in this phone at all, you know all about the size of it. It's a heavy phone. I don't mind the weight, though. I like a phone with a bit of heft. I have larger than average hands, but I still can't completely use it one-handed. I have no problem texting and other day to day uses using one hand, but I find that it's just easier to do certain things on it using two hands or one hand plus the pen accessory. If your hands aren't larger than most, you'll be using two hands more than you're used to using. It's no big deal though, and you get used to it quickly.

"Last thing and most important i wanna know is bang for the buck, value for money."

I bought the phone the day it was available internationally, so I paid close to a thousand dollars, and I still think the cost was justifiable. It has a killer screen, killer camera, pen input, an extremely reliable, rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, loud speakers, and lightning fast processor. Huawei has been updating this phone monthly so far. I've always been worried about Huawei's lack of support soon after a phone is released. They've been on top of this phone, however. I'm really satisfied with their support so far. I would imagine, however, that if you keep this phone for 3 or more years, your update and support expectations shouldn't be too high. I'm just guessing here, but I think the really good support Huawei is giving to the new Mate line of phones will slack off by October or so, once the new line comes out. In three years, I would imagine very little support.

"I dont game at all, but I do like to browse a lot and watch Netflix so the big screen and the insane speakers sounds great. Can I afford the phone? yes I can. But if i do, i need to know that its totally worth the price."

I don't do much gaming either. Whatever else you do on this phone will be made better by the screen. It's that good, and it's really big. YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, web browsing....all that is excellent on this phone. Just remember, it's a heavy phone. So, long video or browsing sessions might take some effort if you're holding the phone the entire time.

If you can afford the X, I say go for it. Get the international version and get it working right out of the box. You won't be disappointed.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mazinya:
Gonna buy the phone today. I decided to get it from Clove UK since they give 2 years warranty unlike eBay. I hope i wont need it, but if i put down 1K on a phone, i would like to have some warranty. I heard that UK are about the last to get updates though
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] btblue:
I've the 20X. Was going to get the pro but, don't like curved screens, don't want in screen scanner, don't use wireless charging... Don't like the dimensions. Mate 20 X is an epic phone however!

I had the Mate 9, first saw it on holiday whilst I'm Thailand then imported one and charged the region loved loved loved it. Then bricked it and binned it. Very sad day...

Had S9+ then Note 9 (got sent back) then Honor View 10 that ended up in the toilet... So I researched and was instantly drawn to the X.

Got it, thought I'd made a mistake on day one, was too big I thought... Day two, hell, I wouldn't consider anything else.

Speakers are fantastic, dolby atmos stereo, battery life stellar, sometimes I get 9 hours SOT, play PUBG, hdr video, goes on and on. Love this phone as much as I loved my mate 9.

You'll love it too. Guaranteed! Let us know how you get on!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] filip_pine:
If you wait to much for a phone to drop in price, you might as well ,, be lucky enough '' and get a used phone ,, made it to look like new ''. Probably a returned unit... This thing is very common in China... They will usually drop price for those units who has been returned back by their customers for various reasons... Waiting is not an option, unless you risk to get a used phone... Chinese are very good when it comes to Refurbished them and sold them like new...
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mazinya:
Thats exactly my biggest fear. That I would think I had made a mistake and the phone is too big. I already pulled the trigger and ordered it from the UK with international shipping. Unfortunately, the Pound aint that cheap, so conversion wise I paid a total of $911. I hope this phone will serve as well as my Mate 9 did and hopefully this phone is gonna get updates
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] btblue:
Don't worry! You've not made a mistake. You're getting a lot of phone for the money...

Some advice. Depends on how you use yours... I left all of the packaging on it, including the screen cover that came with it (underneath it has a screen protector) just for added protection.

I love my Mate 20X as much as my Mate 9 but the camera is miles better, night mode blows the 9 into the past and then some.

You'll be happy, enjoy the prospect of having your new phone!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mazinya:
I only leave the screen protector. I still have it on my mate 9. I will share my thoughts once the phone arrives. Overall, I am really excited about this phone. Never paid that much for a phone and its the best phone I have ever bought it terms of specs and screen size
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] esselite:
Don't worry. This phone is one of a kind. You will love to Use it, as the quality is top notch.

So far I only miss tap to Wake function and led notification, but all the rest Just justify this expense.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] btblue:
Did you get it?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mazinya:
not yet. ordered it from Clove via Royal Mail so it will take a while. Really annoying thing is that few days after i ordered, price dropped by 76£ and the $900 I paid isnt cheap at all in the first place.

Btw, i read about screen turning to yellow or something like that after some days or months of use? should i be worried? I dont plan on replacing this phone in a year as i paid way too much for it
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mazinya:
Got the phone today! luckily i even managed to dodge custom taxes.

Only using it for a few hours, installed everything and first impressions are this phone is amazing. First, it took me 10 sec to get used to the size and weight. It really doesnt feel as big or heavy as i thought. My mate 9 now looks tiny haha

Phone is blazing fast. launching apps, scrolling, feels smooth and fast. sound is amazing, both speakerphone and audio. Watching Netflix and browsing on that screen is awesome. havent had a chance to try camera yet. When i set it up I also got the lastest update with march 1 security patch (unless it not the latest update?)

Overall so far, very positive experience.

Btw, how much does always on display eat from battery? is it significant? should i turn it off?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] CTR640:
Yeah, it's a very amazing phone and it's worth the extra few hundred bucks, otherwise we'd be kicking ourself for getting the Mate20 haha.

And about your question. OLED is totally different from the LCD and if something is black, the pixels of the oled screen will be turned off entirely.

So it doesn't eat battery at all unlike 'always on display' on lcd.

Hello

I have a Lenovo Tab 3 A8 (TB3-850M) that is bricked. I tried to reflash Stock ROM but it still doesn't boot.

You originally said:

I may be able to help if you answer the following:

Did the problem start with flashing stock ROM, or did you flash to try to fix existing problem? If preexisting, did it occur with normal use, or while doing any modding?

Did you possibly delete any critical partitions using sp flash tool? Eg, did you use format function?

Nb. I monitor the main TB3-850F threads where you previously posted, but won't know you've replied here unless you mention me or reply using my handle in quote. PW

1. - in Download Agent - take the file DA_SWSEK.bin - from where you launched Flash Tool

2. - select the scatter in the folder with the firmware - target_bin subfolder.

3. - do not forget (every time you start the software) to change Download Only to Firmware Upgrade

4. - press the DOWNLOAD button and only after that connect the switched-off body to the software.

- wait for it to finish and ONLY AFTER THIS disconnect the device from the PC and turn it on.

when i reflashed it, using the thread from pndwal, the sp flashtool said "invalid bbchip type 1003"

so i check scatter file the name and found this

now the error ""invalid bbchip type 1003" is fixed. i can reflash following your suggestion but no luck phone still dead.
