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.

EMUI 5 (Nougat) B320 via Firmware Finder!

Hey guys!
I am Vivek from Ahmedabad, India. I am writing this just to let you all know about my recent experience with FF!
I bought my 6X (BLN-L22) like 2 months back and couldnt get any official ota even after waiting this long. I tried to contact the EMUI admin in Facebook and they told me that its being pushed to individual devices gradually. Now as promising as it sounds, how long is someone supposed to wait right?
Now, I came across an ocean of unfavorable and negative reviews about FF here in XDA and also in other websites. A lot of people complained about disappearance of updater and app twin along with other apps. While others complained of buggy performance or some other issues with the camera. But what I later found out was that people were trying to jump from an old release to the latest one without patching the previous releases of the full OTA in FF!
Some people had issues while jumping from 301 to 320 and some from 310 to 320. And some had twrp installed so its obv to face random issues anyway. Well, I was in B132 all this time and I didnt know what to patch first. But I read somewhere that my release and B320 were stables ones compared to others. So I backed up every single thing from my phone and took the risk only to see if all the hype about FF was true or not...
And to my surprise, it actually worked!! I simply flashed my phone to B320 from B132 using the proxy method and it all happened within an hour. I am on Nougat (EMUI 5) now and its super smooth. I have all the new features like App twin and box based push notifications. I even have the updater file which many complained of vanishing after flashing. It all worked just fine!
I was given a little inspiration by a guy named Gopi here for trying out the FF after all those crazy reviews. He said "You never know unless you try". And I went for it! haha!
So go ahead folks! B320 through FF is what you need if you dont wish to wait too much for the OTA. Special thanks to the developers of FF for this!
Good luck! :good:
Peace.

I'm legit jealous . Cause in my device (BLL-L22) there is still no full nougat update in it (with the app twin etc). Just wish huawei release it soon

advice needed
So previously if we update manually everyone is facing only minor issues. But the main which some have reported is if you factory reset after the update then then are complaining about missing updater in setting and also some apps like calculator. So I want to know if this still exists. Have you tried factory reset on your phone after update ? Are the apps like updater still present after factory reset? Please help me I am done waiting for ota

No I didnt went for the factory reset. It wasnt necessary anyway. I simply updated from B132 to B320 via FF and within 15 mins, the whole update was installed. I got App Twin, Updater and a lot of other new features. I didnt faced any bug so far. Been using EMUI 5 since 3 days now. Dont wait for OTA if you dont wish to. Just upgrade via FF buddy. Good luck!

I think you won't get future OTA updates after this...
Because I also updated with firmware finder from Marshmallow to Nougat build 310 just as happy as you and now I'm not getting 320 update....?

People who updated with firmware finder earlier are getting 320 build as OTA but it shows "update failed" when try to update.

You need to unroot.
No it will not erase your data.
Stock recovery is needed if you are updating via FOTA.
Also make sure your system is not modified.
No need to relock your bootloader.

My recents is broken after this latest update. Is it just me or are others facing similar issues?

Is camera 2 API enabled?
If not can we enable it?

Yeah i think it does not change if u had already enabled it before the update. I used my Gcam after update, works as earlier. i guess no need to re enable it.

Yes true !

Noticed slight improvement in battery backup, previously it used to give 1hr of SOT/10% of battery but now it has improved to 1hr20mins/10% of battery!
I feel some improvements in dt2w are done,reducing standby drain

I noticed it too , I am getting more screen on time I think notch area still isn't handled properly

improvement in notch here means no more chopped battery percentage, but still no real full screen when playing movies or youtube.

Can you be spefiic about this? Please don't say delayed Pie rollout is misguiding. Maybe it would be better for them not to annouce an expcted date for updates but then people would still keep asking.
I have had my phone for 2 weeks and I am very happy with it. It does everything I need from a phone and is a decent upgrade from my K8 Note. I am happy to have the Feb security patch in reasonable time.
I had a problem with the DND icon not being removed after turning off DND but that seems to be fixed in this update. I use System UI Tuner to remove mobile data icons so I have more space in the status bar for notifications.

Hey See when you know you can't roll out update soon just don't promise it? I am not asking them to roll it out soon am asking them to be honest ! Because that's what makes company credible . I bought this phone with a hope that am getting pie which I wanted to explore but then from January it's been March but still we haven't got Pie . If Asus knew it can't roll out update that soon it probably shouldn't have started promising that ( and that would have cause them to lose customer) . Its not about you being happy with your phone it's about if you lied your words lose credibility!!!

There's a new software available as of 2019-02-11, so what's new?

Hello,
I noticed there's a new software available as of 2019-02-11, still lollipop but what's new?
Did it finally solve the issues with the older ones?
Anyone tried?

Oh well I installed over kitkat and it seems ok for now. There's no lockscreen lag and the battery life is a little bit less than kitkat but I wouldn't say the battery usage is extreme as I heard with older lollipops!!
So until now I like..
Will update if something else comes up..

There's no lag with the lockscreen what so ever.
So weird how they added a new software in 2019 :laugh:

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.

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:
