[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] SonOfTheRain:
Hello,

I have Mate9 9.1.0.252 (C432E7R1P8) with Magisk installed via RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img patching method. I tried to download via Firmware Finder the latest version with this number and patched RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img for installation of Magisk.

Since some time, my phone started to ask to install an important patch. When I flash back stoc RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img, system downloads and installs the patch and in software update page I see Mate9 9.1.0.252 (C432E7R1P8) (Patch 3) . When I flash from Firmware Finder after that, the patch goes away and my phone asks me repeatedly to install this patch, at night automatically tries it etc. It's quite annoying.

Is there any way to extract RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img from device or any location of firmware with patch 3 included? I wouldn't like to switch updates off btw.

Thanks in advance.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
Some ideas (experiment on your own responsibility):

- Do OTA update (b252 Patch03), then flash your Magisk patched Recovery (made from b252 without Patch03) but to eRecovery, then boot to the rooted system via eRecovery

Then

a) Enable ADB, run the following commands from PC:

adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery_ramdisk of=/sdcard/RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img

After the su command you have to grant root privilege on the phone, to ADB.

It should dump Recovery image to Internal memory

Or

b) From Terminal Emulator app, run the following commands:

su
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery_ramdisk of=/sdcard/RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img

After the su command you have to grant root privilege to the Terminal Emulator.

It should also dump Recovery image to Internal memory

Comments:

(a) and (b) should disk dump Recovery image on the rooted phone (!) but I think the pre-step will fail: Fastboot will fail to flash to eRecovery.

Another option would be to flash TWRP but to eRecovery and then to execute from Advanced/Terminal in TWRP:

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery_ramdisk of=/external_sd/RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img

However, Fastboot will again fail to flash (TWRP) to eRecovery, and TWRP would fail to dump to Internal memory (because of encryption)

So no use, sorry - just ideas, but there is always some catch 22 ;-(

Likewise, you cannot disk dump Recovery image directly either from the not rooted b252 Patch03, because (a) or (b) would require root privileges for ADB or Terminal Emulator, respectively

And if you flash the Magisk patched Recovery to Recovery partition n(as usual), you will have root and you could disk dump - but the OTA Recovery b252 Patch03 would be already gone (flashed over)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Eliott:
I am currently living in Japan and have just picked up a new HT1100 (Touch Dual) on the Docomo network.

This is my first smartphone/PDA and I am very happy with it except for the language problem.

The entire system is in Japanese and I would like to change it to English. I have tried asking Docomo who didn't have a clue what to do and it seems that the original English software has been completely removed and replaced with an all-Japanese ROM.

I have never changed the ROM on a smartphone before but I am willing to give it a go but I have a few questions which I can't find answers to by searching -

1, Would it be better for me to try and find an English language pack (if one exists)?

2, If I do have to change the ROM completely then which would be the best one for me?

3, If everything gets screwed up then what are my chances of unbricking it and putting the original Japanese software back on?

4, If everything goes to plan and I change the software to a hacked version can I still use my Docomo sim card in it? Or is there some kind of security check between the sim card and the phone that means the card will only work with the Docomo ROM?

Sorry for all the questions but I'm a bit of a newbie at this and don't want to ruin a brand new phone that I am otherwise so happy with!

neon 100

japanese ht1100 code name is neon 100 not niki,

so do not flash niki radio or rom to ht1100(neon 100).
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Eliott:
Thanks for the replies!

I will certainly read each step carefully before I flash the phone with new ROM.

But before I do I just want to check one thing to be completely clear - are you saying that after I put on this new homebrew ROM I will DEFINITELY be able to use my Docomo sim card in it without any problems?

Also, what settings would I need to enter on the new phone to use it properly? ie, when I flashed normal phones in the past I needed to re-enter all the MMS/internet settings. Is it the same with these smartphones or are there any other settings I will need to get?

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] aten:
hi,I have same handset with you , and have flashed english rom , if you want to flash any english rom,I think you will cannt use docomo network mms, hi-speed data plan etc.

and cannt accesse internet. so, must dump docomo original rom before flash other english rom. good luck.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Eliott:
I don't know if my phone is network locked as I have not tried another sim yet but I wouldn't be surprised if it it.

Actually, after mailing HTC Japan they have pointed me in the direction of an English language pack sold by another company. I have to wait another 24 hours before I can use it but it looks promising - http://www.cfcompany.co.jp/product/mobem/mobem.html

If Aten is right then flashing the phone will be no use to me if the Docomo sim card doesn't work.

I will wait and try this language pack to see how that works out. Maybe after that I will consider flashing the ROM.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] seth2006:
The MMS and Connection settings are store either in *.Rgu files or *.Xml files on the Rom, not sure which ones. I had the same issue with my Telstra branded Rom, the network settings were built in so i couldn't connect to any other network. If you dump your rom and upload it up i can have a look and extract these settings for you.

Cheers
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Eliott:
Well that language pack software arrived last night and I installed it without any problems.

It all seems pretty good. Not everything is translated but its enough to make the phone useable for me.

The only major issue I have is that it seems incompatible with the whole Touchflo interface. The touchflo will not open my videos or, photos or music files any more. I cannot use the Touchflo shortcuts and it seems I am also unable to set an MP3 as my ringtone/alarm etc.

Is there something I could change to make this work?

I am busy with work for the next few days but will see if I can upload this ROM on the weekend.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] $m0k3d_0u+:
i have a samsung sm-g960u, that is locked to Sprint. On attempt to network unlock it by flashing the CP, it decided to never boot into the OS again. To clarify, when it was done flashing (with latest Odin), it reset, and made it to the blue screen with the Android icon, and the spinning arrows that says "Updating system software" and it will stay that way until the battery runs out. Upon using the Volume down and Pwr button reset, instead of taking me to Maintenance Mode, it goes to the black Factory Reset screen. Rebooting, Shutting Down, and rebooting into Download mode, all result in the phone being locked at this screen. I still have Download mode if im quick enoough to hit it after i power cycle it, and ive flashed the stock software successfully ( Odin says anyway) multiple times, with this same result. My question is this: Is this fixable through using the Nand Erase option in Odin? Also in the logs, i noticed it had some lines about the kernal being experimental(?) and to not use it, so im wondering when i flashed that CP modem file, if it somehow re wrote this version kernel into the phone? Im completely at a standstill here and any help would be great, as the phone is completely unusable at this point.
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] clumsy30:
Hello everyone. I will try to explain what happened. Yesterday, was trying to unlock the bootloader but ended up trying to install a global rom without unlocking the bootloader first. Long story short, the update ended up failing and now the system has been destroyed. I was thinking of unlocking the bootloader via the official software when the waiting period is over and then flash TWRP and Lineage OS. But I have a problem, mi_unlock stops at 99% and then reboots my phone to fastboot. The bootloader is locked, I'm using a windows computer, my drivers are updated and before messing everything up I enabled usb debugging. :(

Any suggestions?

Dear all, help me please with the issue.

I have unknown Chinese HU with Tesla style 768x1024 resolution screen, Sophia3G processor, 4/64Gb etc.

"About" is as follow:

[IMG="About HU"]https://saltrukovich.ru/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/About1.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG="About HU 2"]https://saltrukovich.ru/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/About2.jpg[/IMG]

There is a more known Chinese HU Teyes TPro with absolutely the same specs and settings structure and menu view, but:

Lower Android version (Unknown - 9.0, Teyes Tpro - 8.1)

Another version of MCU (Unknown is newer)

Another version of Bluetooth (Teyes is newer)

"About" form Teyes FW Upgrade manual

[IMG="About Teyes TPro"]https://saltrukovich.ru/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/TeyesTpro.jpg[/IMG]

The questions are:

1. May I use Teyes FW to upgrade (or we can call it downgrade may be) my HU?

2. Does Android version, MCU and Bluetooth versions difference make sense or not in this case?

3. To control the HU with steering wheel (Dongfeng AX7 chineese car) there is a CANBUS module with the HU bundled:

[IMG="CANBUS"]https://saltrukovich.ru/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/IMG_20200123_225238.jpg[/IMG]

Is there a possibility that Teyes Tpro will not have the settings needed to control my HU by my wheel as follow (as I said Settings menu in both HU is the same and there is this setting in both HU, the question is only if it is possible that my configuration is absent in Teyes FW):

[IMG="CAN_settings"]https://saltrukovich.ru/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Can.jpg[/IMG]

4. Finally - how to back up my HU to be 100% sure that if something goes wrong I can restore it (no root).

Thank you in advance for your support

Russian Dongfeng AX7 community will be really thankful

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] malise:
Hello, I am using a Samsung Evo Plus 128GB card in my 32GB Xiaomi Mi A1 formatted as internal storage.

Today I wanted to do a benchmark because lately the phone is pretty slow and laggy, in particular the apps that I installed in the SD storage, so I unmonted the SD card from settings, but when I restarted the phone all my applications that were installed in the SD completely disappeared. Usually when the SD card was unmounted or not inserted these apps were displayed greyed out and after mounting the card they returned normal, but this time all apps are gone.

I tried unmounting the SD and rebooting again the phone but with no results. I noticed that now the phone doesn't show the notification with progress bar when mounting the SD but it mounts instantly. In storage settings I see used space for apps in the SD but if i tap that it says no apps installed.

The biggest problem is that if I try to install again some of the apps that were installed in the SD I can't because phone's behavior is:

-from play store: the app looks uninstalled, but pressing install results in a loop where play store continuosly download the app again and again.

-from apk files: packet manager tells that the app is already installed, and if I click update prints "app not installed" then crashes.

Can I do something to make these apps visible to the system again without wiping everything?

Guys I've had the pixel 2xl for over a year now and i last did a clean install 5-6 months ago. I don't really have a problem with the phone with occasional drops in frame rate in some applications. I was just curious to know your views incl. pros and cons of resetting my phone and would you advice me to do it?

Thanks in advance.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:

Thanks but that will show same photos twice one in my phone and one of the Google cloud. Is there no way i can restore them in one tap from Google photos.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Don't really know, I've never done that before. I find it easier to just back up my photo folders to my pc, which are also synced to my google photos folders. So after a reset, I just drag & drop my photo folders from pc to phone, and google photos already recognizes them :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] 100rabh7791:
Google photos folder in your phone or Pc? Am i missing something?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:

I'll have to try! Let me see if i can experiment this before hard resetting my phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
You can also create a folders on your internal storage with a root type, or standard file manager with names like..Family, dogs, or whatever. Then drop your photos in those folders. Your gallery app, like QuickPic will pick them up, which you can then sync those folders with google photos :good:

I use AT&T for my carrier.

I'm trying to understand if I can use a brand new OP6T T-mobile version - https://www.oneplus.com/oneplus-6t-tmo?from=6t - on ATT. I had presumed if I follow the guides here to SIM unlock and flash the international version, that would allow me to use ATT (without ever using, talking to, or becoming a customer of Tmobile). Is that the case?

If not, can it be done at all (dual sim tray? 2nd imei?)?

Thanks.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Frankenscript:
If it is Sim unlocked, it should work fine, but why buy a T-Mo phone if you won't be using it there? Instead buy the global version.

I routinely see posts here from folks using the T-Mo version on other carriers and having issues, or troubles from flashing the international OS version.

Also if there is an issue with the unlock and you aren't a TMo customer who knows what the resolution path would be.

Trust me. Spend a bit more for the global phone. There are all these issues with converted phone's not passing safety net, Netflix not showing, Google Pay not working depending on what OS version you are on... It isn't worth the savings you might get.
