Glad I could help! I know I broke my head over this one during the first week of me having a WM phone. I figured it out thanks to the Fdc Soft Task Manager using the Netstat utility. It let me know exactly what the network stack of the phone was trying to do and the URL exclussion I just stumbled upon and reading what the page said it lead me to believe that it might be a routing table for configured "WORK" connections. And it worked. :)

During the past month or two of using my exchange like this and switching around ROMs and cooking my own ones now I've noticed that having TCP Data Reconnect and Transmission Retry settings in your registry set to high will cause Active Sync to take a long ass time for it to actually route communications through the VPN connection. I noticed this after using custom ROMs wich some have these settings increased to ensure communications go through but they raise connection timeouts way to much. On my own custom ROM I've set these to defaults (2 and 4 respectively) and Active Sync only takes about 1 minute to start syncing onces you hit sync while you wait for it to dial the cellular line and the VPN.
[Networking] amkaos:
you talk about the vpn..

i think you are in the very small percentage of ppl who can get that to work.

i have the activesync set to manual and have tried the vpn type to both IPSec/L2TP and PPTP

w/o success..i always get a UN PW error which i know cant be so..

i set the host ip to what was shown from "whatsmyip"..

searching for quite awhile, i see thousands of ppl who cant get it to work and have

never found a reliable method that works for anyone but the person who posted it.

if you could back track a little and post how to do it, there are probly

thousands of ppl who would find it very useful and really appreciate it.

thanx

Well one thing is how to setup a WM device's VPN client to connect to your VPN server and another is actually configuring your VPN server. Do you have a working VPN setup in your corporate network already? This usually is setup by having a static IP assigned to your corporate internet connection and a firewall configured to allow VPN access with all the necessary traffic and authentication routes.

If you don't have a static IP in your office and use a lower cost DSL or Cable connection you aren't SOL, for these types of connections you can use a service like dyndns.org to dynamically upadate your dynamic IP into a static dns name like: mycompany.dyndns.org for example. This requires you to setup your firewall or ISP modem to communicate with dyndns.org to report the changes. Most firewalls come with this funcionality already built-in, but most of them also call them by different names so you'd have to look up your equipment's documentation on how to report a dynamic dns service.

I would be happy to help you setup your VPN correctly but its more practicall for me to help you setup a checklist on which type of VPN you want to setup (IPSec or PPTP) and what your corporate network's infrastructure looks like and let you know what to look for in google; there is PLENTY of very helpful information on the web on how to setup VPN but first you have to know what you need and how you are going to achieve it and then you'll know what to look for.

Each setup is very particular to the customer's needs and the network infrastructure that is setup and how much security you want to use (IPSec is a naturally secured VPN tunnel protocol while PPTP is not secured by nature but can be secured with a Radius server in your DMZ validating authentication in an encruypted manner to your Active Directory service).

What I posted above will work for an already existing and working PPTP VPN connection wich I already had running for years in my office and I regularly use with my laptop to connect to my exchange server while on the road or at home. What I posted above is what is need to get your WM device to connect to an already functioning PPTP VPN server.

Hope this helps. And if I'm to help you make a checklist I need a lot of information:

Type of ISP (static IP or dynamic IP)

Type/Brand of firewall device

How the devices are connected together (dumb modem or internet router from your ISP to your firewall's WAN port or a full blown router provided by your ISP wich is patched into your firewall's WAN port)

Internal network configuration (both AD and Exchange on same server (SBS) or separated)

What amount of security you are looking for.

Send me some PMs and maybe I could at least point you in the right direction.

nttdemented: I'm doing the PPTP shuffle at the moment, and wanted to pick your brains..

The basic connection is running fine - e.g. when I add 192.168.0.1 as an Exception and go to http://192.168.0.1 in Pocket IE the VPN fires up and I see the page just fine.

I've also added '10.6.1.8' as an exception, but if I go to that address in PIE, I don't see any network activity (using ethereal/tcpdump) on the 'ppp0' server interface (I use Ubuntu server's pptpd) ...

Can I assume that your Exchange server is hosted on the same machine as your PPTP server? Some MS SBS or similar?

Even if I configure an http proxy (on the 192.168.0.1 IP) I see no activity when I try the 10.6.1.8 address. :/
[Networking] Matk89:
thanks so much!!

that i didn't find/read about the "exceptions" option in WM before...

Somehow, when i got my phone, i got it to work without this workaround, it just worked, out of the box, no exception setting required. (VPN settings + exchange server location were enough)

But yesterday, from the one moment to the next, it suddenly stopped working.

In my efforts to get it to work again i deleted the exchange settings, but doing that, I deleted all my contacts and my agenda! I was in big trouble because I really needed those , but after reading your post, i got it working again! my phone is synching "as we speak" and i'm very happy!

don't know how it worked before, don't know why it stopped working, all I know is, it's working now!

you made my day ;)
[Networking] nttdemented:
Good to know!

Cheers!

I've since stopped using this method as we got around to publishing our Exchange server with an SSL certificate so I'm actually using SSL enabled ActiveSync push on my phone now. :)
[Networking] cbasualdo:
Excuse me but perhaps you can help me too.

My problem is that I can get/sync my mails using WIFI.

If I connect thru GPRS, y go to send/receive and I get all the mails. If I'm on my office and connect thru WIFI to the work net I also get all the mails from the exchange server.

The problem is when I'm outside my office and connect to other wifi net and try to sync my mails. I have an HTC TOUCH CRUISE with WM 6.1 original from HTC without any flash.

Thanks in advance.
[Networking] DarrenUtd:
VPN connection doesn't always connect for ActiveSync synchronization?

I have had ActiveSync working with an Exchange server over a PPTP VPN connection for years now, but there has been one nagging issue I can't figure out. For the most part it works, but sometimes when ActiveSync tries to sync it will not make the VPN connection. There is only one connection listed when I tap on the icon on the notification bar - the phone's data connection. So in activesync, the icon with the arrows spins for a while but nothing synchronizes. I think it ends up saying "waiting for network" or something like that. It seems to always work when I manually hit "sync", but sometimes it fails on scheduled synchronizations.

Any idea why this happens sometimes?
[Networking] dz0rpw:
oh...cheers...got my brain back...

The exceptions rule has almost fixed mine now. I'm getting mail but not through Activesync (just sits waiting for network).

Hi,

I own a ulefone armor 8 phone to use and configure IoT devices. Unfortunately the bluetooth connection between the phone and the devices is unstable i.e. some functions do not work and when trying to upload a new firmware the connection breaks down completely. I tried to change the avrcp version without success additionaly cant change turn off a2dp harware offload option.

I don't know if this would help but I'm asking for your help because at the moment the phone is useless.

On other phones(samsung s20, xiaomi mi10, samsung j5 and others) everything works. Is it the fault of the phone's crappy software or is there a solution?

Hi guys,

I would like to ask you some simple (for you) things.

1) I want to root my device (ticwatch pro 2020) to test some features, but then i want to reset to factory settings and stock rom.

I would like to know if there would be some issues about restoring it (e.g. the device will be ever seen as rooted from mobvoi/google or similar things).

2) if i root my smartwatch, i will be able to use all google services (not interested in google pay) or i will have some troubles?

If there is already a thread about it, please link me. I've already looked for it without founding.

Hope you will help me, thanks in advance.

Actually, ruu is rom update utility, which is used to update a ROM. RUU is not a rom.

regardless, it requires you to flash your device to a new/ updated rom/radio. which was my point. pardon my previous response.

Thanks for doing this. But I wonder: will this procedure work on a wifi-only model SHT-W09 running on EMUI 8.0.0?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Orekaria:

You can try to get the unlock code with PotatoNV (step 1.1), which is harmless and then decide. Also the old guides are probably good for your EMUI version.

Hi!

I was trying to follow your guide, but opening the cover was too hard for me.

Originally my motivation to unlock the bootloader was to install Lineage OS, and then to install Google Services.

I have tried numerous methods to do so, but somehow they did not work for MediaPad M5 Pro, due to EMUI version or recent security patches.

However, I have managed to install Google services by accident.

I almost gave up, and decided to install at least a decent browser (Brave).

I found it on APKPure.

It is a kind of a third party package manager.

To install Brave I needed to install the package manager first.

APKPure APK Downloader for Android Wear, Phones, Tablets, TV

Download and update the latest Android™ Apps apk in APKPure, the best free Android APK Downloader online right at apkpure.com. Come and join APKPure's clan.

m.apkpure.com

Brave got installed, but to my surprise I could also find Youtube app on APKPure.

When I installed Youtube, APKPure package manager have installed Google Play Store as well!

With Google Play I could install all the other apps, I needed.

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] SnowmanDK:
I can confirm that this works for the CMR-AL09 also.

The only problem I had, was with opening up the device.

I had to use a thin metal object to get under the screen at first.

Oh, and then I had to search around to find out why I could not find my device using ADB...

REMEMBER TO ACTIVATE USB DEBUGGING in Developer options ;)

Hello !

Thanks for the tutorial, it worked great for my CMR W09 which was running these specs :

dir>fastboot oem get-bootinfo
(bootloader) unlocked

dir>fastboot oem get-product-model
(bootloader) CMR-W09

dir>fastboot oem get-build-number
(bootloader) :CMR-W09 9.1.0.360(C432E6R1P3)

dir>fastboot oem oeminforead-SYSTEM_VERSION
(bootloader) :CMR-W09 9.0.1.160(C432E3R1P3)

dir>fastboot getvar vendorcountry
vendorcountry: hw/eu

I installed the Android 9 version then the Android 10, worked perfectly fine for both. I indeed inputed the commands suggested by thorgan3. For those who have wondered when and how to input such commands, I followed the steps 1 and 2 and then I turned usb debugging ON and enterred the following instructions :

dir>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.phone
dir>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.providers.blockednumber
dir>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.bookmarkprovider
dir>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.calllogbackup
dir>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.carrierdefaultapp
dir>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.emergency
dir>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.providers.userdictionary

though I still had to uninstall com.android.phone through SDmaid

You can also finish cleaning up the ROM for the Wifi only models by putting :

dir>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.server.telecom
dir>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.providers.telephony

And after all that I finally prompted the next line to pursue tutorial with step 3 :

dir>adb reboot recovery

I strongly suggest that anyone tempting this maneuver should download an official stock ROM of the model and region of his device. To do so, as huawei revoked access to any of those, I factory reseted my tablet beforehand and connected it to the mobile hotspot of my computer. Using Wireshark I was able to snif the wifi my computer was connected to and hence get back the url (which was beginning with

Probably those images are too big to fit in the system partition, only the gapp "non vndk" and vanilla versions can fit. It is only 2,9Gb if i remember correctly, you could resize it anyway (i never did it).

Thanks. I solved it by using a updated version of fastboot tools

The problem I have now is that I dont have root. (and I have tested several ROMs: lineage, phh,.,..)

This is the steps I follow:

- factory reset ( in android and in recovery)

- erase system in bootloader

- flash ROM in bootloader

- flash vbmeta in bootloader ( fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img)

- wipe data and cache in recovery

The ROM is installed with SU app, but I dont have root (at least that says adaway)

All the GSI are derivate from the Phh treble. Adaway doesn't work because it cannot write onto the system partition, it is in RO mode. You have two ways, the first is to use magisk (Systemless mode for Adaway) but GSI images don't like magisk, test it. The second is to use the vndk variant but they are too big for our M5 as i wrote above.

In order to find the testpoint that is pictured for the SHT-W09, you have to remove a bunch of screws at the top of the device, disconnect the screen cables, the side button cables, some other cable near the button cable (maybe speaker or vibrator), the camera cable and a bunch of screws along the top. Then there is a board that fits around a black square and the board takes up most of the top of the device that you need to flip over. It took me hours to figure out all the things to disconnect and to flip the board over in order to see something that looks like the picture of the supposed test point. If you do all that then the photo looks the same as that board once you flip it over.

I still can't get it to work with shorting the test point to the shield. It looks like their red line goes between a silver indentation to the nearest shield. Does that seem right, or should it be one of the smaller copper or gold-colored dots?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] sbfisher:
For anyone still looking to get the testpoint to activate on the SHT-W09, this image makes it much more clear what point you should short to the shield. https://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f1...set-done-test-point-uni-android-tool-2976508/ . (the lavendar dots on the photo.) The more common photo that is everywhere in search engines has a big red line that is kind of unclear what it's pointing at (top dot? middle silver bit? bottom dot?)

I also had to disconnect the black cable coming from the battery area and only leave the tan-colored wire coming from the USB port connected. I got the boot loader unlocked now, so maybe I can breathe new life into this old device that rarely got updates. I wish the Lenovo Y700 was being sold normally in the US since there aren't a lot of 8-9 inch tablets these days and I don't really want to buy an iPad mini, a low resolution kids tablet or a the weird "global firmware" edition of the Y700 which seems to be kind of half-baked.
