[Q] I got problem with Nokia care suite

Now I'm using lumia 900 with unofficial 7.8.
So, it is impossible to mount official 7.8 via zune, because zune recognises my lumia as the latest version.
To get official version, I gotta downgrade it to official 7.5.
First of all, I prepared 7.5 version of firmware.
Then, connected to Nokia care suite, I started recovery.
But, it gives me error message "No response received! Unable to verify response"
What's wrong with it? Plz someone get me right direction..

Help to unlock the bootloader

So I have been trying to install Cyanogenmod 14, but I am kind of new to this, so I will probably seem pretty stupid. I basically tried to install it but forgot to unlock my bootloader. It was messed up, but I got help to install 2.20.40.184, so it works again. Now, however, I still want to install cyanogenmod 14. Partly because I for some reason don't get the OTA updates (I live in Denmark, where the Zenfone 2 isn't sold, so that may be it), so I've been stuck on lollipop since I got the phone. I don't even get a software update section under settings. So after all this, I tried to unlock the bootloader with the official app that you can download from the Asus website, however, when I do that, I get an error message saying "This device model is not supported". So looking for manual ways to root, I only found one that works with marshmallow, and when I download a ROM for marshmallow, I don't get the notification about an available software update. I also cannot enter recovery mode.
Hope this made sense, and that I posted it in the right place. Thank you!

Look for raw file .196 LP from RealYoti on here
Flash it in boot loader, with AFTool
You may have a china firmware converted to WW.
Once you flash try unlock ..or update from sd card to M ...Check my signature for flashing in AFT , also clues in downgrade link for how to write M to be recognised after a reboot for updating
If not got Chinese original serial you should be fine
Then when upgraded to M , Modder tool should be ok for unlocking bl in M
Then you can install 14.1
Hi, thank you very much for your reply.
Should I flash the raw file .196 even though I am using .184 right now? And which of the links in your signature is for flashing with AFtool (and where do I get AFTool?)
I have no idea if I have a chinese firmware converted to WW. Sorry, I am new to this xD
Yes, I am planning to use the modder tool once I have managed to update to Marshmallow.
Thank you very much

Installing a "Not Approved" firmware from Firmware Finder

Hi,
My device is still stuck at B102. I tried to install the "Approved" updates in FF but they failed. I noticed that you have to come from a specific firmware to update to a new one. Like to install the B124, you have to come from B123. This concludes that updates come in sequence. However, the next software after B102 is B105 but this version is "not approved" for installation.
So my question is, has anybody tried to install a "not approved" firmware with success? What's the consequence? Will it just say it failed then boots back to normal or will it mess up my device?
Thanks for answering.
it wont install it will error out.

Hi
I don't have unlocked bootloader, so I can't help you more in that side.
However, I can help you in the "no OS" problem, because after 3 days I think that lineage isn't your main idea anymore
To flash stock firmware, even with unlocked bootloader, you have to use in your PC or "EMMA" tool by Sony, or newflasher.
You need stock ftf firmware to do that, easily downloadable in the link https://xpericheck.com/ .
If what abovementioned doesn't work, simply relock bootloader and perform a clean install via Xperia Companion (with your PC).
Hope this helps :highfive:

Trying to flash firmware to MediaPad, please help!

I am trying to flash firmware on to Huawei MediaPad M2-801L.
I have a number of issues:
Can't get into device to enable Developer Options, there is a firmware problem not allowing me to do this.
I don't have an unlocked bootloader
Using fastboot commands to flash device keeps giving me this error: FAILED (remote: 'Command not allowed'). (I have installed Android Studio, and I am doing the commands within the "platform_tools" folder, with the relevant files to flash the device with).
I have even tried to install twrp with no avail
I have researched the internet for hours yesterday, trying different methods to try and get my tablet back up and running again. Every method I tried, I seemed to bump into many errors along the way.
I can get into fastboot mode and download mode. I have tried using QFIL, however I don't have a RawProgram and Patch file.
Is there something I'm missing? Can anyone guide me in the right direction if possible?
Thanks in advance!
