Yeah. Although that was on a different update. I believe they have issues with OTA updates.

which ROM is that?

I just received the update "Elephone P8000 20150909222555", is it a new one?
I just let it install through the recovery and it is now stuck in the Elephone logo while booting! FML
Seems that I can't post links but here is an image of what the OTA promt said: http :// imgur. com/ lndzEj4.png

And the only "news" in this ROM update is that they've changed default launcher to a spyware/trojan included x-launcher, complete b*ll**** nonsense from Elephone dev.

I don't use SIM 2 so it won't affect me. But I've seen they mentioned some IMEI issues that causes this problem with some SIM cards.
They also mentioned some issues with the launcher they use (spam, adverts etc). Do you have these issues as well?

I've always used the nova launcher without issues. Before I upgraded today sim 2 was working fine. I bought this phone for dual sim and now it doesn't work

Check if your IMEI is ok.
If not check the solution posted here
Hope that helps. Let us know how it will go.

What do you mean check my IMEI?

I had the exact same problem after ota update (stuck at bootimage)...
I precisly followed this guide: bbs.elephone.hk/thread-1037-1-1.html#.VfpyK7P7vtS and it works again.
With this Firmware version i could use ota without breaking my device. I think OTA just didn't work for the 07/09 firmware version I had on my phone.
Best Regards,
Lukas
edit: sry for the messed up link(aren't allowed to post links yet)

borofanuk said:

Click to collapse
Go to your Settings->About Phone->Status->IMEI information
There you can see the IMEI for each SIM slot. If it's messed up for a one slot I guess that's the reason a SIM card won't work.
For example there a 15 digit number for Slot 1 and 2 and then a 2 digit number for SV for each slot.
FYI, I never use the 2nd slot so I'm not sure if it's working or not.
Hope this clarifies at least something for you and you'll be able to fix your phone.

Don't install this buggy Update

The update is not buggy for me. Everything seems to be working fine (2 SIMs etc). No problems so far. As for the launcher I always use Nova myself so I don't know what the problem is with the new one. Aesthetically though it is a lot better than it was, because it resembles stock (it has app drawer etc).
Just don't install OTA

Yeah, I had to follow the guide on how to flash the device since the OTA soft-bricked the phone. It was a bit of a hassle doing so in Windows 10 but it is doable

I'm trying to do mine on Windows 8.1 but i have some issues with the driver. Got any tips?
I'm installing the driver but I get some errors at the end of the installation. Then I connect my phone, in the device manager i get the driver name there for a few secs and then it goes away.

Facebook video problem

Hello!
I have this wierd problem with my facebook app that it only plays videos whilst connected to a wifi network.
Connected to 4g/3g it stays buffering and nothing happens. Settings in facebook are ok and the phone have been
full wiped numerous times, (old time flashaholic).
Also, this problem only occurs when i´m using the cm13 rom, no problem whatsoever on stock firmware.
Phone i´m using is an LG G4 (H815).
Anyone got any suggestions?

True, but it has never worked on my phone since the relase of cm13, been on and off since it came. I wouldnt doubt that it would be rom related IF i could find someone else with the same issue, but I cant.. :/

Has anyone tried installing this?

Yes but I mean if I do not lose my files when updating, like my photos or applications I hope and you answer me fast because I am about to update

I didn't lose any files.

Heads up that payment apps do not currently work with this update. Android Pay says this is not an official rom, and LG Pay requires and update for android 10 that doesn't exist yet. I suspect because although it might be official firmware, it hasn't officially been released yet.

Hmmm thinking of pulling the trigger on this. Wondering if they made improvements in the camera app? Also wondering if there is a battery drain. A lot of updates from several different phone manufacturer's are reporting battery drain after updating to Android 10.

Yes

I notice the battery exactly the same, the camera improved and added new modes, but mainly the interface and fluidity of the Android 10 device improved much more than with Android 9

I took a gamble and decided to install it. Maaananaannnnn am I love this update. What a refinement! Feels like a new phone so much more polished that 9 was on the g8. Also loving the system wide dark made aka night mode. Everything is so buttery smooth

Meanwhile T-Mobile won't say anything on when they will push the update out for their variant. :crying:

With the security lock screen are the numbers suppose to be so small

Idk how was fixed issue which i had but last few days i get update for health app and for firmware. Problem which i had was gone. Try uninstall everything and try factory reset on watch..

Looks like the magic watch got an update and the spo2 function is now added.. Guess we will also get it soon.

SPO2 for Honor comes End of March.
The question should be: Is this the same useless **** as in the honor band 5? No logs, not shown in the app, only OnDemand on the watch....or do we get a log in the watch about the messurements

I'm stuck on firmware 1.0.11.8 and I'm on the latest version of Huawei Health Beta (10.0.5.008)

Installing Google play on WIFI matepad pro

Hey guys hows it going? just trying to see if someone can clear some stuff up for me. My Matepad pro is in the mail or else i'd try myself. So my understanding is that at this moment the Playstore cannot be installed on a WIFI Matepad pro, only the 5G version? This is of course what i've read from various youtube comments. One thing i am curious about is when i was going to purchase the tablet from Aliexpress alot of the sellers there offer the wifi version with the play store pre-installed, how do they pull this off? i'm assuming this means its at least possible?

hi mate, try the one from FoneTech channel on YouTube, that's the only one that worked perfectly on mine

Hi Dr.Light, I am thinking about ordering Huawei MatePad Pro(MRX-W09) as there is a discount for it going on.
Do you mind me asking if the GMS(through fonetech tutorial) that you installed has been working since it was successfully installed?
Your review of it would be greatly appreciated. As it's very attractive deal...just want to make sure it can work on the WiFi version too as I see some of the tutorials mentioning the GMS only works if it is the MatePad Pro LTE/5G.
Thanks in advance!

Hi all
I have the Matepad Pro 6Gb/128gb MRX-W09 and have been trying to get Play store installed I have tried 3 different methods and apart from one which will not go past Sign-in on playstore, the others give the Goggle services play protect error. My Pad is on the latest version of EMUI 10.1.0.151(C432E135R1P135) and is a UK version
bought from Curry's. Anyone with this latest EMUI version able to install the Play Store please advise.
TIA

This one didn't work:

but this one worked for me (WIFI 256 GB - EMUI 10.1.0):
youtube.com/watch?v=uKfz4xeMzh0 :good:

Likely the most important tweak with the latest MIUI updates - not even the full reset - but:
the "switch back the system time year" part in the beginning (then it can be turned back onward the process).
Another that works: youtube.com/watch?v=pXotMm47K2E

Works for me... No msg saying device not protected. Latest emui 10.1.0.150 on MRX-W09. But everytime run playstore, date need to change to latest or "Auto".
Sent from my MRX-W09 using Tapatalk

I will try 1 last time for this, but the other 3 I've tried says lzplay won't launch, some error soon as I open it.
10.4 tho.
I see a lot of these guides saying 'now change the date back to automatic' but they never say WHEN to set it to 2018?

Mine works google apps w/ updates (system updated also to latest 10.1.0.137) and even Netflix runs (actually runs movies with sign in). Up for sale on Swappa. LTE 8gb 256gb version.

hi i have the MRX-W09 and my compilation number is 10.1.0.172. Any tutorial? thanks

You can follow this link. That's the latest tutorial he has. I did his previous one and it worked perfectly, updating emui version also works. I'm now on 10.1.0.176.
Hope that helps you out.
