Topic about rollback (downgrade ) firmware, on Huawei smartphones with EMUI 11 android

Huawei phones normally is able to rollback (downgrade) firmware.

However, newer phone like Mate 40 Pro that come pre-installed with EMUI 11 is not able to downgrade firmware.

Huawei disabled this feature.

Is there any way to do a workaround on this, to re-allow firmware downgrade ??

Will appreciate your advice :)

The SU-binary you copy onto Android is a file - an executable, hence this temporary root solution is everlasting, unless you remove it, for example via ADB

adb devices
adb shell "rm -f /data/local/tmp/su"

Hey,

I'm trying to downgrade a P40 Pro (ELS-LGRP4-OVS) from 11 to 10.1.0.131 in order to Googlify it. The problem is that I cannot find a working mirror for HiSuite Proxy on pro-teammt.ru . For example I'm trying to download this but I'm getting "An error occurred."

Can you please direct me to a working method of downgrading to "Googlify" my phone and/or to downgrade to 10.1.0.131?

[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] 072648:
I am reaching here because I have exhausted all other resources and I suspect the most knowledgeable people

are here.

For the last 2-3 weeks I've been stuck with a problem that I am unable to resolve, for which reason I cannot use my new phone. It has a technical aspect, that's why I'm here.

I have a new Pixel 4a 5G. A TMo agent botched the eSIM activation -- sent me a "blank" Apple eSIM that did not work in an Android device -- I had to erase it. Thus I spent those weeks personalizing the phone without an active SIM and, thus, no mobile account, using just the WiFi, believing I can install a eSIM later.

All TMo stores in SF are closed. After I talked to about 4-5 clueless agents, I reached a manager (in the Philippines!) who told me that the only solution is to factory reset the phone and activate an eSIM properly, which means I would have to repeat all that personalization -- I cannot afford that.

1. Isn't there a way to activate a SIM without a reset? Does this hold for both eSIM and physical SIM? I have

an old SIM I could transfer from the old phone.

2. Is all the personalization recoverable from backup? Anything that's lost?

I don't trust TMo anymore and would drop it, but it has the plan that suits me best and in my experience the

other carriers are not much better.

Please advise. Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] arkiltk:
I'm about to buy an old tablet - probably a kindle fire of some sort but I'm not sure yet. I was told by a store worker at a gadget shop that old tablets have some kind of "update block" meaning they can't be updated anymore or something. I don't remember the details but he seemed to be saying you can't download newer apps on the old devices or something. I can go back and ask for more details but I am just hoping that someone here knows what I am talking about and can fill me in on what I need to know before buying an old tablet?

I have hacked devices before (e.g. my sony psp way back or my ps3) and don't really mind rooting/jailbreaking a device, as long as it isn't too time-consuming. I basically just want an android tablet that can run new and old apps etc. Nothing fancy. Just a basic device for apps that I might need from time to time as well as using it while on the go for internet etc.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Each app gets compiled to be run on specific Android versions.: It's the app developer who defines the minimum and the maximum Android version his app can run on. So it's obvious not all apps are backwards-compatible.
[General Questions and Answers] arkiltk:
I did not know that, very interesting. So what is the "update block" or whatever it is that the store person was telling me about and how does one overcome it? I know old androids only update "firmware" to a certain point, right? What happens after that? How do I run apps that are compiled to run on newer versions?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Don't know what the store person had in mind. True is that an update is a patch for an existing Android version - what gets rolled out by OEM / carrier if they deem it necessary - whereas an upgrade is a complete replacement of an existing Android version by a higher version ( e.g. Android 4 -> Android 5 ) - what is never rolled out by OEM / carrier.

What you need is an upgrade. Because OEM / carrier certainly don't offer one you have to install a Custom ROM that matches the old tablet's hardware specs, what in turn requires you before install a Custom Recovery that is suitable to the tablet.
[General Questions and Answers] arkiltk:
Right, so if I've done my (light) research correctly it would go something like this for a kindle fire HD, right? :

1. Root

2. Install android somehow

3. Upgrade the android to latest version

This is after very quick research I did on transforming a kindle fire HD to an android tablet so apologies if it doesn't make sense.

Assuming it does though, is root really necessary or can one go directly from kindle --> android? Also will step 3 already give the latest android version or is an upgrade usually needed (or would it just depend on how you actually do step 2?)

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] EonOfBlack:
Which Kindle Fire HD were you looking at?
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
It's NOT needed to root Android.

To flash a Custom Recovery like TWRP it's only needed that device's bootloader got unlocked before.

Look inside here:

How to Install TWRP Recovery on Android without Root

TWRP allows the user to install, back up, and restore firmware on an Android device. Here's how to install TWRP on Android without rooting.

www.maketecheasier.com
[General Questions and Answers] arkiltk:
Not sure yet but it seems like the shop has a lot of variety within my budget from kindle fire HD 2012 to kindle fire 7" 2015 5th gen. It also has a handful of other brands within my budget: google nexus, acer iconia, lenovo smarttab, generic android tablets, etc.

Does this work for kindle fire too or just android? If only android is that what you would recommend? The reason I want a kindle fire is because I had one before for a short time and liked it. But a previous generic android tablet I had overheated at the back making it very uncomfortable on the hands. I can send you a list of the options I have at the moment if that would help?
[General Questions and Answers] EonOfBlack:
If you're wanting to have the latest updates on your tablet, I'd say pick another device that isn't a Amazon tablet. Other tablets often have better support for custom ROMs and firmware. While you can find custom ROMs and firmware available for Kindle Fire tablets, they are often outdated and abandoned. You can flash TWRP onto a Kindle Fire, but most of that time that will only give you the ability to root it.

I installed the PixelExp+ Rom on my friends OP5. was good and smooth but the battery life was utter garbage (if u have AOD on, u cannot maintain batt life).

i tried installing the lazy kernel ( post here ). No improvement in performance or in battery life.

So moved back to PixelExp kernel.

Flashed Stormbreaker kernel (from here).

->Booted fine

->WiFi and Audio works fine

->Will update on batt usage/drainage

Note:

-Stormbreaker kernel, from what i understood, is unified for both OP5 and 5T.(Please do check before)

-All credits to where its due. None of these files are mine. I'm only trying to improve batt life for day-to-day usage and updating here for easier finding on what worked.

Hi All,

Issue: Unable to access Synology mobile apps (DS File, DS Cam, DS Video, etc) via my mobile network however still able to access via Wifi. I was able to access these apps previously via mobile network. I've also narrowed it down to the issue being local to my phone as my wife's phone (Huawei P20+) and my workphone (iPhone 8) has no issue with accessing the apps via mobile network.

Have uninstalled and reinstalled the app.

Have checked app settings set autostart to yes and no restrictions for battery saver. Also no date usage restriction.

Have anyone faced similar issues and found a fix or does anyone have any ideas what could be the problem?

SOT is a nonsense way to measure IMHO.

As it would really depend on how one uses the phone.

I get anything between 5- 8 hours SOT depending on what I do.

Rest is all auto or adaptive.

Working days I come home with around 70% battery and them try to deplete it by playing COD and stuff in the evening and still have 40 -30 % left.

I do charge overnight regardless how much battery is left as I like a full battery in the mornings.

Hello i've flashed a custom ROM for my Redmi 9 this morning but it failed.

Now my phone doing a big f* bootloop, the recovery (TWRP) is dead and the fastboot too.

I've found a tool named SP Tool to repair the phone but the problem is when i plug my phone to my computer the phone is charging (logic) and instead showing the animation of the battery it bootloop until it runs out of battery.

So someone can help me please 😅

Thanks

Edit: Oh i forgot, now i've realised than when i flashed the rom i've wiped the entire phone (internal storage too)

My bad... 😕
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] XDHx86:
Is your device Merlin or Lancelot? If you're not sure, what processor do you have, Qualcomm or MTK?

If it is Qualcomm, try test-point method to access EDL mode, then use Mi Flash Tool to flash MIUI on your device. Read this FAQ to learn more.

If it is MTK, then follow this guide and download the tools used in the video from here. You can find your device ROM (Lancelot) here.

Just make sure you're flashing global version if your device is global or chinese if your device is chinese.

If you're not sure what you're doing, I highly recommend sending it to a professional.

Goodluck.

[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] XDHx86:
Both SIM slots have no IMEI? I assume you wiped all and didn't backup?

You'll need Modem Meta and ENG ROM to fix that, you can get the ROM and the specific way to fix it from here.

If you're lost you'll find all the answers in the thread, but don't be afraid to ask there just don't ask an already asked question.

[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] XDHx86:
This tool installs the driver required to unbrick your device, if you can find your device specific driver to install on your PC then you can skip using this tool and install the driver manually.

If you can't find the driver, then try using a different cable when connecting the phone to the PC. Or a different port in the PC (Like the legacy 2.0 USB port in the motherboard).

The tool should first detect any device connected to install the driver it doesn't work the other way. If it still doesn't work then your only option is to find the driver manually. Or maybe you can find an updated version of the same tool or a similar tool.
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] Kisle:
Thanks for your help. Actually I got it working with a lot of try and error... not even sure which drivers worked at the end. Also I had to switch to a win 7 computer.

[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] XDHx86:

Might be a random guess but it could be because signature protection was enabled on the win 11 PC.

Someone help me please? Two days ago i bricked my redmi 9 eea after update via ota. He just died, no infinite loop or charge. After a tutorial from here was able to revive him with sp flash, phyton and other stuffs. Everyting went OK and my phone is alive again. Whatever now I've getting issues that weren't there before hard brick. My redmi doesnt recognize my Sim card. I enter my pin security and then don't get any sim card signal. Also can't log on play store with my Google account, i get this message "there was a problem communicating with Google servers, try again later." Tried to wipe Google play services data, also from play store, formated redmi from recovery but the problems remains. Maybe i need to reinstall rom again, im pretty sure it was the right rom i flashed because i download it from miui official website. Unfortunately after reviving my redmi with sp flash, my bootloader got locked again. Sense i cant log with Google account because phone doesn't recognize my chip to activate data sim card, i cant either unlock with mi unlock. Is there any solution for this? Thanks.

Perhaps flashing phone with another rom the problem gets fixed. I can still flash my phone with sp flash even with bootloader blocked right? My redmi comes with a European rom. To revive him i used rom last update, maybe should try a previous version?

[Redmi Note 9 Pro (International Model) General and] cold_start:
Hello guys!

Hope I chose a right place to post my question. If not, please redirect me.

So I have Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro 6/128 with MIUI Global 12.0.1 Stable (RJZMIXM). Bootloader is not unlocked. No root, obviously. I often use it with Xiaomi Redmi AirDots Bluetooth earphones.

The problem is that phone's earpiece stops working for no visible reason. Basically, I can speak with another person only via phone's loudspeaker or earphones, and it's not normal.

What I tried to do and what didn't help:

1. Reflashing official firmware through Updater. It helped several times, but then stopped.

2. Turning VoLTE off.

3. Moving SIM card from slot 1 to slot 2 and back.

4. Pressing hard on the phone's back near the earpiece. During this experiment I managed to hear a VERY quiet sound from the earpiece, but it's not what can be called a normal work.

5. Rebooting phone several times in a row.

I don't want to take my phone to a service center, 'cause they'll take it for 2 weeks minimum, and I need it for my job. Even more, my guess it's a software problem, but I still can't figure out how to fix it.

Please help me to fix the earpiece. Any advice would be appreciated.
