[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Venkata Lochan Nune:
The update website isn't going to come back anytime soon. But if you just don't mind opening your device again(you need to access the test point), there's a fix. this method doesn't just need anything. even if your device is hard bricked, it can get you back running. This was described in a youtube video with working links based on a forum on xda.

link : click here

I got a similar problem recently but I flashed update.zip of emui 8 - > Bootlooped - > factory reset with twrp - > successfully booted but doesn't get past the setup screen. Fix : flashed a gsi treble image(based on android 10) - > working perfect except for camera and volte.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] King_of_Android:
The update website is there. Its https://www.firmfinder.ml/ . No need to install any gsi
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Venkata Lochan Nune:
My bad 😑, I thought the update website to be huawei's official one(something like update.hicloud and all isn't it?). Well, thanks for the information but I still prefer gsi. It's buttery smooth 😊.

And one more thing, if you follow the youtube video I mentioned, you don't need any gsi. You can get your device back on stock EMUI 5.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Venkata Lochan Nune:
Hey I have a doubt... Will the recoveries we find in twrp official website / app work on EMUI 8? I wanted to try them but I'm afraid I might brick my device again. Getting it back is a hectic thing and I already had to face it thrice. LOL 😂.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] lmaohelp:
Hi, thanks for trying to help! I am using the website to install the firmware but I am having problems with it currently, and I made a post about it, if you could help me with that it would be greatly appreciated.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Venkata Lochan Nune:
I tried using that website but I wasn't able to figure out how to use it. So just left it. Did you try the method which I described earlier?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] lmaohelp:
I haven't tried to use the method you posted yet, because it is a bit more lengthy and complicated. If the method I was using does not work I'll use the video and let you know how it goes. Thanks!
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Venkata Lochan Nune:
Well, just clear these things:

Is your bootloader still unlocked?

Did you try using another recovery image instead of the one you are getting error for?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] lmaohelp:
My bootloader is still unlocked, yes. However, I did not try to flash another recovery image, as I was not sure where I could find one that worked. I forgot which image I used at first but it had worked the first time, so that was why I did not bother finding a different recovery. Do you have a suggestion for a recovery to install?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Venkata Lochan Nune:
I'm attaching one that works with emui 8 try using it (Remember you have to flash it to recovery_ramdisk).
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Venkata Lochan Nune:
Well after reading your post 1 again, I think there's no such partition as recovery_ramdisk(because it will be there only from android 8). So find a recovery in google which works on hi6250 devices with emui 4. That should work. Update me with the result
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] speedson:
hi

can you boot into recovery (must be TWRP) at the moment? then try the following...click the link in post 3 and in youtube expand the info...then click the unbrick link and download the oeminfo.

on the phone (TWRP) recovery flash the oeminfo in to the oeminfo partion...reboot to erecovery and then download the stock rom....after this reboot into system

i had unbrick some huawei devices with this method and it helps e´very time :)

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Venkata Lochan Nune:
His problem us with twrp.

He can only access fastboot but isn't able to flash twrp...
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] lmaohelp:
So I have tried many different recoveries, such as ones for EMUI 4 and 5 and flashing directly to recovery, which gave me an error "image verification failed", and flashing an EMUI 8 to ramdisk would give me the same error as before. I think the partitions on this device is really messed up lol. Also, when I type fastboot reboot recovery, it would just get stuck at the loading screen, so does that mean there is no working recovery installed?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Venkata Lochan Nune:
Maybe yes. Did you try directly booting the image without flashing?

fastboot boot recovery.img
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] lmaohelp:
Yup, I tried that as well, and it told me "invalid command"
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Venkata Lochan Nune:
Well as you said, you partitions must have been really messed up. I have no other ideas except the test point method.

Are you trying anything else?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] speedson:
Ok we have some option that could help you...

Im read in the 4PDA (the russian XDA xD) forum that it should be possible to flash the oeminfo by fastboot command. So just download the HWOTA_BLN_Eng and expand it. Then go to 7 or 8 Folder and there you go to oeminfo folder. There you choose the right one for your Device and local area...for example BLN-L21 (Device) C432 (European Area)

Extract the file to your desktop and rename it to BLN-L21C432.img

--->be sure that you have the right Device driver installed and the right ADB driver for your device to<---

ok now Copy and Paste the BLN-L21C432.img to ADB folder and start command with admin rights

start the phone into fastboot mode

--->bootloader must be unlocked<---

in the command

fastboot flash oeminfo BLN-L21C432.img

wait for the result and it can not hurt to pray a bit in this moment...hihi :)

if this have success...you type in command

fastboot reboot

wait to the screen you can press 3 seconds Vol+ to go into erecovery....connect to wlan and it should work step by step like it should.

after download and recover the stock rom reboot and go again to erecover by press Vol+ for 3 seconds and now go to the second option...wipe data/factory reset and write yes+enter

in stock recovery wipe Data after that wipe Cache...reboot and wait that system boot the initial boot for first setup.

If this will not working...tell me what honor 6x you have and wich local area you are from and wich firmware you stock had before you doing wronng ;)

good luck bro

solong

speedson 🤘 🙃 🤘
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Venkata Lochan Nune:
Highly informative and useful!

But wait, does the erecovery download the ROM from huawei's server? I think update.hicloud.com is down right?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] lmaohelp:
I am able to access the Huawei eRecovery at any point, and if it actually worked I would never be at this point. Their servers seem to be permanently inaccessible, and the phone is unable to download the required files. I even tried flashing the oeminfo file for my phone (BLN-AL10) and using the HiSuite Proxy method, but HiSuite is still unable to recognize my phone for some reason. At this point, I think that my partitions are messed up beyond repair.

EDIT: Actually, now that I think about it, the servers might not actually down as the reason that getting package info has failed in eRecovery is because the model is not an actual model that can be recognized by the servers, which can be related to the problem with HiSuite not recognizing my phones model. Maybe I'll try flashing oeminfo again, even though I have already done so. The oeminfo I am looking for is for BLN-AL10, does anyone have a proper download for it?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] lmaohelp:
This method actually worked for me when I tried again! The phone boots into the OS now. But I am unsure what to do next. The video says to flash the oeminfo file, but it doesn't provide for for my model (BLN-AL10C00). Would it be fine if I just flashed the BLN-AL20C00 one? If so, where would I find the update.app file for it, because I can't find it in the repository.

Edit: Nevermind. I see the update.app file linked in the youtube video description now. That would work for all models right? I just flash the BLN-AL20C00 oeminfo and use dload method?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] lmaohelp:
Just an update before I go to sleep. I flashed the BLN-AL20C00 oeminfo, flashed the update.app in the video description using dload, unlocked my bootloader again(found out that flashing oeminfo relocks bootloader) and my phone is now on EMUI 5.0.2. I was able to flash TWRP(twrp-3.1.1-0-berlin.img) using the command (fastboot flash recovery img) instead of (fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk img), and am wondering how to update it to EMUI 8 now.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] ARDV:
i have a p10 l09 wich has emui 5.1

so i wanted to upgrade it

i first unlocked the bootloader with test point methode and it was unlocked fine.

next it flashed twrp: twrp-3.1.1-0-vtr.img

it flashed fine.

then i wanted to take a backup. i couldnt take it because data partition was 0?

i re formated the data partition with twrp to ext4 then i take a backup

next i flashded stock EMUI 8:

Huawei P10 VTR-L09 claro la Victoria-L09A 8.0.0.308(C25CUSTC25D1) Firmware 8.0.0 r1 EMUI8.0 05014KNW

after that

it flashed successfully but the bootloader was locked again

so i unlocked it again with test points

then i flashed twrp for EMUI 8: twrp_p10_0.1.img

after that i flashed the EMUI9 version:

Huawei P10 VTR-L09 hw eu HLRCF Victoria-L09B 9.0.1.185(C432E1R1P9T8) Firmware 9.0.0 r3 EMUI9.0.1 05014JRX

i wanted to flash LeaOS with android 13 but it was just for VTR-L29 dual sim and not for L09

when i reflashed the system.img that i;ve extracted from the .APP stock image with the: "split_updata.pl-master" code the phone stucks in connecting to google to be unlcoked.

so i reflashed userdata from fastboot: fastboot flash userdata USERDATA.img and the problem gone

for dark theme: there are several ones in the market place to download and apply.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] elfarto:
I have a SM-N985F Note20Ultra, i recenty purchased a GoogleFi subscription and set it up using eSIM, (shows up as eSIM1 on the phone) my phone already has a normal SIM (SIM1) from my standard carrier.

Under Settings|Connections|SIM Card manager i set Mobile Data to SIM1 , after a while or after a phone reboot, it resets to eSIM1, this is driving me mad as i don't want to use GoogleFI for data. Any idea what's going on or how to fix it, short of disabling the eSIM ?

Maybe you can change settings in Google Fi app.

Check Google support:

Activate your Google Fi service - Android - Google Fi Wireless Help

Hi guys,

can someone look in to the windows folder, if there is such file(HTCHomeSettings.xml)?

If yes, can someone post it here?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Andyw2100:
My Galaxy S21 Ultra received an update on 4/10. I noticed, after receiving that update, that my phone was vibrating for all notifications and also when I turned the screen off. Digging around a little I realized that the option in Settings/Sounds and Vibration/Notification Vibration Pattern/ no longer shows "none" as an optional vibration pattern. (I believe I must have had set "none" as my Notification Vibration Pattern before this update, either manually, or perhaps by default. I don't remember doing it.)

The result of this is that there is no way to prevent the phone from vibrating on EVERY notification, since a pattern other than "none" must be set.

I also believe that this vibrating continues for at least some notifications even when the phone is in "Do Not Disturb" mode.

I can't imagine I am the only person experiencing this.

I have reported this to Samsung. Assuming others are experiencing this, it would be great if you could note that here, and also let Samsung technical support know, so that they can get this fixed.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ilovetobet:
Nope, your not alone. Was hoping someone would have already posted a fix. Dont understand why updates seem so hard to do these days,.................
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Post Nine:
have you checked in the app notification settings?

press and hold the app > i button > notifications > check each notification option and maybe disable the vibrate if you don't want it to vibrate?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Post Nine:
and you have submitted an error report on samsung members app? or the community?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Andyw2100:
I just checked several apps. The apps all have different notification options, but none of the apps I checked had a specific notification option for vibrate.

I did both.

I made a post very similar to my initial post here on the Samsung forums. And as I said in my initial post here, I did report it to Samsung. It was just the first level tech support and while the rep was very polite, and assured me that it would be corrected in a coming patch, she also said she had not heard about it before. So I took that basically as lip-service, and am not holding my breath. That's part of the reason I suggested that others also report it, as I'm guessing the more people that report the problem, the greater the likelihood that it will get resolved.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ilovetobet:
Literally the first thing I tried, no cigar
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Post Nine:
ok so i meant the samsung members app where you can submit an error report and it sends errors directly to samsung so they can take a look at the issue. this is not the live chat with the tech support.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Andyw2100:
I said I posted in Samsung Forums, but it was through the Samsung Members App on my phone. Sorry if I had the terminology wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Ipse_Tase:
I only had the phone for a week and forced the April update as soon as it was available in Canada. Noticed the same idiotic removal of "None" in vibration pattern options.

Literally the first phone where I can't remove vibrations.

One solution might be to reduce the "Vibration intensity" for notifications to zero... but it's a sh!tty workaround.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Andyw2100:
I hadn't thought of changing the vibration intensity to zero. I just did that and there were actually options to set the vibration intensity separately for incoming calls, touch interactions, and NOTIFICATIONS! I don't know if those options were always there or not, but if not perhaps that is why the "none" vibration pattern was removed. (I'm not suggesting that was actually a good idea.) In any case, I think setting the notifications vibration intensity to zero, while leaving the others as they were, is actually a good work-around for me. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ilovetobet:
Cheers for tip, will give it a try
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Andyw2100:
I did a quick Google search, and the option to select different vibration intensity levels for the three different selections is not new. So that in no way explains the missing vibration option "none."

When I try to enable OEM unlocking in developer settings, it is greyed out and says "connect to internet or contact your carrier". Any tips?

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Buddhaog:

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] l7777:
If you want to bootloader unlock, return it, buy directly from Google, do not select Verizon as your carrier even if you are a Verizon customer, pay full price. It is the only guaranteed way.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
Verizon branded models do not have unlockable bootloaders. Sorry, but you're out of luck.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
I'm pretty sure there is a way to roll back the 12 release even with a locked bootloader, which indeed you have. FYI it's locked forever, for all intents and purposes, if you have a Verizon Pixel. I'm not sure why you didn't research that before you installed an OS for developers. It's common knowledge and has been for years. Unless you have an unlocked bootloader or can definitely unlock the bootloader the only upgrade you should take is the OTA distributed by your carrier or by Google.

Done..

[General Topics] xMotoDA:
With multiple devices, I've noticed that on some custom ROMs Chrome(ium) don't animate when switching between tabs, and don't show the tab previews / thumbnails that if you overscroll it makes a barrel roll, it just looks plain and dragging from the tab indicator doesn't work.

Does anyone know why this is the case? Is there a build.prop option that Chrome(ium) checks for before choosing whether to display the full tab switching experience?

I noticed that on VMOS, an Android emulator for Android, you get the full tab switching experience, but on the ROM I'm using (the host for the Android VM) it doesn't, and since on some ROMs it works and on others it doesn't, I know it's not a hardware limitation.

I don't know where to ask so I'm asking here...

I have seen this part of the plugin and it has Normal, Vibrate, Silent and Automatic.

Im guessing that the Automatic profile will switch between Normal and Silent or Vibrate at certain times of the day. But I cant seem to find anything on the PPC to either set the times myself or even find out what those times are if they are predefined.

Does anyone have any idea?

I love the phone so far. However, there is a problem with Google Fi (Always).

I am able to receive the message, phone calls, etc just fine. However, i am not able to send out SMS. It always fails. I tried both the stock app and the google messaging app.

Did this happen to Xiaomi 11 as well? I am rocking a Chinese ROM at the moment, not sure if global rom would be any different.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] linnil:
so, at least with the chinese rom, don't use google messenging app. if you set that to be your default, you will face this issue. stay with stock messages app, you are fine.

Group chat doesn't work, oh well, not important.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] SHAUN231:
I had this issue with the Mi Mix 3. This helped me maybe it will help you. Go into the Google Fi App and force stop it and clear the data then turn on all the permissions for the app then try to send the messages
[General Topics] xMotoDA:
I come from a country where everyone uses WhatsApp to communicate, and I never worried about messaging apps.

But I will be in the USA, and it seems like people just use the default messaging app that comes on their phone (wtf???). And iPhones are bundled with a built in modern messaging app, but one that is locked down to only iPhone users, and falls back to the really old SMS/MMS (not RCS) when messaging non-iPhones, which would lead to iPhone users being annoyed from messaging non-iPhones (do they even support stuff like group chats, messages longer than a tweet, sending videos, location, etc? i guess not or not fully).

Ironically this makes it seem like having a feature phone would still be useful in that country.

Before, I didn't even understand why RCS even existed, just that it seemed like another seemingly cool messaging initiative by Google that was gonna fail just like Allo and so many others, and I'm not sure how helpful is it due to Apple not implementing it. I also didn't understand why Hangouts, Signal, Messenger, etc had the feature to be your SMS app and for example Messenger is pretty insistent even going to the path of dark patterns.

I'm curious to see what the thoughts and experiences of the American XDA community are. Do you use the SMS app? Do you use workarounds like BlueBubbles to use the proprietary iMessage?
[General Topics] Austinredstoner:
In order to use imessage on Android I heard u have to have a mac if u don't than their is no way to use imessage on Android

You can have a macOS virtual machine, though. But how much effort one would put to it would depend on how important it is in American society to have iMessage
