[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] richplays:
I've only used Full-OTAs, no bugfixes. None of them seem to work.

Yesterday I tried manually selecting a different model in Firmware Finder;

VNS-L21C185 instead of the default VNS-L21C432-

and downloaded VNS-L21C185B397 update. It verified fine but I couldn't install it due to my recovery being TWRP and not the stock one. What I think I'll try is flashing the recovery of the original Marshmallow firmware that's currently on the system and seeing if it will install this update. I kinda doubt it will tho.

Any other suggestions?

Is there any way I can install a nougat TWRP without my current working firmware being on nougat?

If not, is there any way I can install a nougat firmware with TWRP 3.0.2.0? In order to flash update.zip / update.app files I need to get the stock recovery back, but I can't seem to be able to do that.

Is there any way I can flash a standard OEM Rom onto it with TWRP?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8561749:
you can't install nougat TWRP in EMUI 4. you can install update.app with original recovery.

extract UPDATE.APP from update.zip

place UPDATE.APP to dload folder in sdcard.

press power button, vol+ and vol-

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mtcellph:
I recently bought what was supposed to be a "NEW Unlocked" Note 8 from seller on Ebay and when it arrived, I noticed that it was a few updates behind so I connected it to my WiFi and attempted to update it, but I received this error message:

[IMG="Note 8 - Failed software update"]https://i.imgur.com/urdvEtT.jpg[/IMG]

I contacted the seller, but they were not helpful at all, so I installed the Phone INFO ★SAM★ app by vndnguyen to research the issue myself. The information the app provided was really confusing to say the least. First of all, the phones settings menu shows that the phones model number is SM-950U (US Market).

[IMG="Note 8 - About Phone Screen"]https://i.imgur.com/NyRsi16.jpg[/IMG]

The model number provided by app however is SM-9500 (Chinese / Hong Kong Market)

[IMG="Phone INFO *SAM* - General Tab"]https://i.imgur.com/fgdfBMD.jpg[/IMG]

Adding to that confusion, the phone seems to have both US and Chinese firmware components installed on it as shown by the following screenshot:

[IMG="Phone INFO *SAM* - Note 8 Firmware Tab"]https://i.imgur.com/LVN0v89.jpg[/IMG]

The CSC codes all seem to point to the phone originally being created for the Hong Kong market as shown in this screenshot:

[IMG="Phone INFO *SAM* - Note 8 CSC Tab"]https://i.imgur.com/iX0NSmg.jpg[/IMG]

However, when I checked the phones IMEI number, it comes back that it was originally a T-Mobile phone. Maybe that was just the last carrier that the IMEI was registered to I am not 100% certain about this, but there is definitely something very odd about this phone and so my questions are:

1.) Is there anyway (without tearing the phone apart) to tell exactly what model this phone is (950U or 9500) ?

2.) Why would anyone alter the phone like this / what advantages are there to doing this ?

3.) Is there anyway to actually update this device ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SnowFuhrer:
You could update it with odin. It looks like the update center downloaded the wrong update.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mtcellph:
Thanks for the reply, but I do not think this was done by a bad OTA update or anything like that. I think this was done intentionally because I bought a different Note 8 about a month ago from a different seller and it had this same issue so I think this is done on purpose. What that purpose is I am not sure about yet, but I hope someone can help answer that question. As far as using ODIN to update is concerned I first have to figure out what the real model of the phone is so I can flash the right firmware, but thanks again for the reply.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MrMike2182:
I'm more worried about that phone being a knock-off fake! If it really was N950U it would absolutely not be able to have that firmware on it that's currently on it. Also if you try to install the real firmware it's more than likely going to brick it especially if it's fake because that firmware is just not right. I would immediately send it back and get your money back!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SnowFuhrer:
I doubt it's fake, just had some alterations on it. [MENTION=5578597]mtcellph[/MENTION] to see the model of the phone, boot into download mode. It should say.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mtcellph:
[MENTION=6221912]MrMike2182[/MENTION]

I already got a refund from Ebay and they told me to keep the phone too so I am not worried about bricking it or anything like that.

[MENTION=9069680]SnowFuhrer[/MENTION]

This is the information from my Download Mode screen:

It shows the Carrier as TMB (T-Mobile) which would in theory be a SM-N950U model device, but I hoping more for an actual model number so I could be sure. Any other way to get a more definite answer would be welcome.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] UnBeATaBLe~PrO:
What probably happened is, They took a broken phone from 1 region and used the parts from another region to fix. Probably board stuff. That might explain why it has mix match info
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mtcellph:
You might be right, but I would still like to update it if possible because everything else works on the phone.

Again if anyone has any sort of advice on figuring this mystery out, I would love to hear it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] iceepyon:
I seen devices sold like this with the exact same setup. Usually done by third party refurbishers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SnowFuhrer:
So what is the use of it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] iceepyon:
Most 3rd party device repair specialist would use working parts from similar devices to make a new device and sell it on for a profit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mtcellph:
The Phone INFO app did say it was a refurb which is the reason why Ebay let me keep it, but the mystery still remains. Is it a N9500 with N950U parts in it or vise versa?

Is there any sort of app / software that will work on a 9500 that will not work on a 950U? I did see the thread about unlocking using an app named 835crom.apk that will unlock the BL of a N9500 model, but apparently will just crash when ran on a N950U model, but it's from like 2017 and I am not trying to root or anything like that.

I simply want to update to the latest security patch available for the phone, but I first need to find out what firmware I need to flash to do that. Again any help in this are would be really appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] iceepyon:
From what I know the majority of the components used in the Note 8 are interchanged able with the exception of the SOC, motherboards and modems. While both the N9500 and the N950U run on the same SOC, they do not utilize the same modems. Which maybe what is causing your issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MrMike2182:
I really wouldn't flash anything to it period! Simply because you can't flash one hardware piece with the N9500 and then try to flash the N950U hardware piece because it doesn't work like that! If anything is going to work it would most likely be the unlocked N950U1 firmware but I would tread cautiously because if your modem needs N9500 and your board/CPU needs N950U it's just going to mess it up!

Edit: Also about wanting to update just for the security patch, it's highly unlikely that you'll EVER be the target of such security breaches.. Ask around, if you're not rooted it's seriously HIGHLY UNLIKELY!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SnowFuhrer:
If you knew what you were doing, you could flash the modem from one firmware and flash the rest from the motherboard model.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] iceepyon:
Yeah. But you would have to be extremely skilled in doing so.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mtcellph:
Thanks for the replies and I don't really understand why this would be that complicated. It's obviously possible to mix & match the firmware on the phone and it still work (minus the non-updating issue) because that is how it is now, but from what everyone is saying it's a lot more difficult then just flashing the right firmware in ODIN, but I do not understand why and would appreciate some clarification on this.

If the hardware on both models is basically exactly the same thing with the exception of the modem and the current modem that is installed is from the US version, would I not just be able to flash the full US firmware using ODIN and call it a day? If not, why?

Right now the Baseband (modem) and Bootloader are both from the US model. The CSC (which could easily be changed later if I wanted / needed to do that) & PDA (which is basically just the android OS stuff) are from the Chinese model. I am far from an expert in this area but it seems that the PDA is the only thing that I would need to change or am I missing something ?

Finally, I should have included that the reason I NEED to get the security patch updated on the phone is because the firmware (CSC & PDA) that is installed on the phone now does not have VOLTE enabled/working on it and in a later security patch it does have it enabled/working & since I would be using the phone on the Verizon network I kind of have to have VOLTE or the phone will not work once they turn off 2G/3G in the near future.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SnowFuhrer:
I think it would work with an AP partition(pda) flash. It only flashes system, recovery and boot partitions.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mtcellph:
Thanks for the reply & I think so as well because I am just updating the version that is already flashed on the phone and the PDA is what contains the Android security updates I need if I not mistaken.

This seems like it would be a fairly trivial process, but other users have stated it's more difficult than it seems so I'm curious why they have come to that conclusion.

I think I'll give it a few more days to see if anyone else responds before moving forward just to be on the safe side.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mtcellph:
Well I bit the bullet and just tried flashing just the PDA file, but It wouldn't even install. I then tried flashing the full US unlocked firmware. Installed just fine, but still didn't work properly.

Finally, I flashed the full T-Mobile firmware and that did work. The only issue is I actually want to be on Verizon network so I'm going to call T-Mobile and see if they will unlock it for me. If that doesn't work I guess I'll have to have it unlocked with one of those pay to unlock services.

Hello everybody,

im experiencing ghost touch issues with my GM1903. If i touch the display + the metal frame(especially the area around the charging port) there are ghost touches. Especially visible when playing games like pubg or whatever.

A link to an video of the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXu7WOtd9o4

There is also a thread in the oneplus forum existing, but still no reaction from oneplus....

And before there will be asking someone. Yes i have tried a factory reset, a reflash of the rom etc.

Currently i have sent in the phone, what im asking for is if anyone of you are experiencing the same issue please comment below with the production date.

Mine says 2019.06.03

Thank you!

[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] quini2k:
Do they appear when charging only?
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] asc366:
They appear only when not charging, when touching the metal base part around the chargeport and enabling airplanemode fixes it. Disable NFC doesn't, disabling nightlight doesn't, nor disabling any of wifi, bluetooth, gps, 3-finger-screenshot, tap-to-wake or the videoenhancer.

They will be because of an unlocked bootloader. Nothing to do with the flashing.

If you flash the correct region ROM in the Mi Flash Tool and choose to lock the bootloader, afterwards those problems will be gone again.

What are you trying to achieve? What process are you trying to do that you want simple instructions for?
