Hi there,
Using a German G1 updated with signed-kila-ota-126986.f6469a1e.zip
The update was working without any problems, but now, the G1 is completly in english (no problem so far), the settings for US, keeps sending SMS to a unknown number and so on.
Normally it is not possible to make an update if this is not for the same region or if it from a different carrie.r
I think this is a really bad bug, because this Update shouldn´t work on german devices, so someone of the Google-dev did some mistakes..
Or let me say, my device has now not the features that it should have and, I have to check my bill next month, it causes costs it shouldn´t.
Cheers,
brasax
My car has a similar bug as well:
If i drive really fast and pull the handbrake while stearing left or right I loose control over it. Thats a serious security issue...
No, seriously now:
It would be a bug, if one could make this update by accident. But NOBODY will ever do that. You did something to the device which it was originally never supposed to, so it`s your own fault.
Sorry, but this is wrong..
Normally there should be a version-control or a check.
For example Nokia or SE. They will check first the firmware-version (generic, carrier and so on) and then it is allowing an update or not. So it is impossible to flash an german version with an us-version and vice versa (if you do the legal way and not using davinci)
In this case, it was nowhere written that this update is not for german devices and it is an official update from google, downloaded from the website.
The update should not be possible at all if it is not for german devices..
Same is happening with other RC, they are not working, message appears: not allowed.
The update was working without any issues, no warnings at all.
hi brasax,
i too had the same problem with the weird essemsses. you are probably talking about something like this "Die Kurzwahl 72059 ist nicht vergeben." , well it hapened for about 18 hours and now all is fine. i read somewhere that you will not be charged for them. whatever the case, we are in the same boat.
otherwise, i am sort of enjoying the update
I don´t have any problems with this version, beside the sms..
But I think Google needs to now about that..
are you still receiving those smses? i am happy not to receive them any more.
if you consider it to be a bug that the update installs on the german g1, i find it a good bug because otherwise we wouldnt have had the pleasure of enjoying the update now.
and i am pretty sure that google is aware of the fact that we are able to update our devices to rc33 using "signed-kila-ota-126986.f6469a1e.zip"
i hope that you are aware that you are able to revert back to the official german version in case you find the update annoying
It is not a bug. You are referring to a US build. A US build that uses MyFaves. MyFaves that uses SMS to update. The country code on the outgoing isn't going through so no, you shouldn't be charged.

The only official way of updating the device is to wait for an OTA update and confirm it. When there is another (unofficial) way of flashing it and it takes even other languages (which actually are working without any fault) it is not necessarily a bug.
If you see it that way, it would be a hardware bug that you can run the device on Nokia Batteries as well.
This forum offers hundreds of ROMs, which were originally never designed to work on the devices we flash it to. Is that all just a bug which needs to be fixed?
Maybe there is misunderstanding.
If you use a ROM that is not from Google itself, then it is not a bug, then you defently do something you can, but you shouldn´t do.
Same with Davinci for SE-devices. You can use Davinci to flash any firmware you are not supposed to and you loosing your guaranty. If you flash it with a firmware that is delivered from SE directly for your phone and afterwards it is not working correctly, then it is a problem of SE and they have to deliver a solution to fix it. That is the reason that you only get, for example, firmwares only for the german market and not from US.
In this case, it was an official upgrade from Google and not a custum-build one.

well, i had just read this:
"Übrigens kann man mit einer Art Ctrl-Alt-Entfernen das G1 auf Werkseinstellungen zurücksetzen. Nachtrag: Allerdings werden hier nur die Daten und Einstellungen gelöscht, die Firmware-Version bleibt. Für ein Downgrade z.B. zurück auf RC29 muss man ein Image auf das G1 hochspielen und das Gerät falshen (hier die Anleitung)."
here: http://electrobabe.at/tag/t-mobile-g1/
which misled me to think that it is possible pretty simply, but upon further research to try and reply to your question, i have noticed that it's probably not that easily possible
sorry
I hard-bricked my phone. Every step brought me deeper into the black hole which the phone is now. The last operation was to flash a rom per "dd in= out=/dev/sd..". Only the qualcomm modem is recognized now. I asked the experts from gsm-europe.de for unbricking service but got negative answer. Is there really no way to resurrect it?

I'm in the same bucket of suck, linux only recognizes at TTYUSB0 "modem" What answer did you get from gsm-europe? Simply they can't/wont help you or that the phone is dead?

"To my knowledge there is no solution available for this model yet, unfortunately." (No reply on phone calls)
My exact question was "LG G2 (ls980) hard-bricked: I hard-bricked my phone with the attempt to flash it with dd. Now it reports as modem only under Linux. Can you fix it?"
I consider to ask another service. Cannot believe that rewriting the bootsector is that difficult.
i tried out the cm12 alpha rom now i want to go back to stock touchwiz bnl9. i made a backup before flashing cm12 . i using philztouch recovery but after restoring the date my s5 ends up in a bootloop. i tried flashing bnl9 with odin but again bootloop. what can i do in order to go back to bnl9 android 5.0 touchwiz???
You could try flashing an official stock rom on it with Odin, root it, use Flashify or Rashr to flash the recovery and THEN restore the backup.
Might just work.

I had the same problem myself, but after doing every wipe possible, including a full factory reset, I was able to restore my Kit Kat backup without issue.
If you don't have a custom recovery installed anymore you can still do a factory reset using the stock recovery.
Hi XDA!
So I recently acquired (about 4 days ago) the unlocked, single-sim version of the Huawei P9 Lite VNS-L31. I remember that as soon as I connected it to the Wi-Fi, it download an OTA update to the version VNS-L31C33B105. After that I did some browsing around here, and I found out that there was a new version the B130 for the European variant. Silly me, decided to download and flash it via SD-Card. I noticed the region was diferent than mine but I still went ahead. After the update I checked the version and to my surprise it wasn't the VNS-L31C432B130, but instead it shows has VNS-L31C900B130.
My question is if I should be worried about this, as I may be cut off from OTA updates? If yes how do I fix this.
Thank you in advance

Heyho,
so far i know, to solve this problem, u need to the aligned custom.bin and maybe also the aligned oeminfo... To flash/copy both of them u'll need an unlocked boot-loader and root rights.
To solve ur problem, and also unlock dual-sim on ur single-sim device, u can use my toolkit. Just proceed with the steps under Dual-Sim.
PS: If u have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Sebastian

Im well aware of your toolkit and let me congratulate you on that. Excelent job on it. Thank you so much for your time and dedication. :good: Yes I figured i'd had to unlock the BL and root to fix it. There's people over at the P9 section saying they went through the same but the OTA updates still came anyway.
But anyways I'll still unlock the bootloader. Another question since we're talking about it? With unlocked BL, but stock recovery, there will be no problems with flashing future updates through SD-Card right?
Once again thank you so much for your contribution to our device. Keep it up

Hey again. I went ahead and unlocked the BL, Rooted, Flashed the stock recovery, and enabled dual-sim. The processed went smoothly without any problems what so ever. (Ther was a bump at the storage encryption asking for a password because for some dumb reason the keyboard wouldn't open, but i rebooted and then it showed up)
You were right, the device now reports as VNS-L31C432B130, and the 2nd slot for the SIM Card is working perfectly well.
You are the MAN! Thank you so much for the reply and the fix. Keep up the good work Sebastian!

Heyho,
yes it's possible to update via SD-Card/internal storage with an unlocked boot-loader. The only problem u'll have after an OTA or manual flashed update, u'll loose the unlocked boot-loader and ur root rights. So after an update u need to unlock and re-root again.
(But dual-sim and custom.bin will stay as before )

Heyho,
yes it's possible, but u must change to the C432 build in order to archive the dual-sim with an working build number (not C900). In this case u only need to follow the instructions right under dual-sim. (Update to L21C432B130, unlock the bootloader + root the device, do the dual-sim upgrade, and flash the L21C432B130 agian, that's all.)
(As u can see in my signature i had also an C150 [T-Mobile] device, now it's an "open" device with dual-sim.)
Hope i could help u

@k1ll3r8e grüss dich. könntest du mir eventuell privat schreiben. Habe ein Problem mit einem P9 Lite ist nachm Update auf C900. Manche App wie Facebook usw. lassen sich nicht mehr starten. Wie kriege ich es hin, dass das Handy normal läuft und ich die übliche C432 bekomme? Habe mir deine Anleitung angeschaut, aber bin technisch was Huawei angeht nicht so gut drauf würde mich freuen, wenn du mir helfen würdest.

Recovery Flash HTC M9 Prime camera edition
Hallo Schmidt,
nach langer recherche fand ich es heraus also eine recovery lässt sich sehr wohl flashen du brauchst die recovery
von twrp mit dem namen twrp-3.0.2-0-himar (nicht hima) die findest du hier im xda forum.
Flashe die recovery mit fastboot gehe dann in das recovery menü und mache einen kompletten wipe samt factory reset.
Ansonsten zeigt die recovery dauernd an cant mount disk etc... nach dem Wipe läuft alles perfekt !!! 100%
danach einfach noch die supersu flashen und dalvic cache wipen und gut ist hier noch der Link zur recovery
viel Erfolg!
Hi adi!
We should keep on writing english
Thx for your reply. But I do not dare. After flashing the himar-3.0.2.0 recovery the last time a had a really hard fight getting my m9 back to life. I prefer a rom-kitchen, I will use the stock-rom, add root-rights and flash then via fastbook. But hadn't time..
Btw, where is your link?
