I have been running 4.0 for a long time, so i thought it was about time to get a newer version. so i ran the acmeuninstaller and was about to upload a new rom when i encountered a strange problem. i'm asked if i want to initialize the disk when i select mass storage mode. I have tried from webOS and from CWM, have also tried two usb cables, both my macbook pro and my windows 7 laptop. the original usb cable doesn't seem to be working anymore so i haven't got to try with that.
I didn't have any problems using recovery to transfer using nova com or preware. just the mass storage part that seem to be out of order.
any help is appreciated.
I'm starting to suspect something seriously wrong with the tablet.
i had ran a acmeuninstaller, but still booted into android. so i downloaded a rom and a file manager, and then a problem i've been having started to occur - processes dying etc. usually fixed by a reboot. which was one of the reasons i wanted to try something else.
so i took a reboot, and well - everything i had downloaded was gone. so i did the opposite thing, started deleting everything i've downloaded.
next reboot - everything was back in place.
More of this and i'll just use webOS which seem to work well. beside the usb connection that don't work.
I have never used any uninstaller to flash a new ROM. All I do is do a factory reset, clear cache, clear Dalvik cache then install new Rom and Gapps. I did this when I went from 10.1 to 10.2 to finally 11.0. Also, I have found that having the most current recovery installed will help also. For example...CWM version 6.0.4.7 is needed to install CM 11.0 because datamedia support is required to properly support emulated sdcard storage in 4.4. I also use CacheMate to regularly clear my caches.
This is a known occurrence with the touchpad.
DO NOT, if prompted, format the disc when connected in USB mode.
If you google your problem, there is a solution out there.
If you don't find it, let me knownand I'll try and find the link for you.
Your touchpad is not fubar !!
Peace
Hi,
A colleague of mine give me his Sony Xperia T (with Cyanogen 11 4.4.4) installed.
Because there is a bug with multiples calendars that are not synchronized (synchronized once, when configuring the account), I upgrade to CM 12 Lollipop.
After upgrading, a reset factory, installing Google Apps via recovery mode, I encounter two problems :
- All is working good with my home WIFI but not my Network WIFI (My computer is connected to this wifi network right now). I don't see it in the list of WIFI on my phone, but i See the others networks.
- When I want to use the camera, it says that I must install an SD card first... But an SD card is already installed, recognized by Android (I can see it in the "Stockage" section), I can browse the SD via the File Explorer. I have tried to to uninstall and reinstall the SD card but the problem remains.
Any Ideas ?
Thansk for your help,
Vincent

do not Wipe Sdcard
Step
before your need use Flashtool go back Firmware Android 4.XX & ReBoot to 4.XX System & off system
fastboot flash boot boot.img
in TWRP you cand Wipe Anything , but do not Wipe Sdcard, [internal storage]
Then Install CM12 & APP
do not try TWRP back up, you will be Return Flash Firmware
Solved
Hi,
Thanks for your reply, But I did something else as describe in my third post (this solution does not need to reinstall any firmware) :

I just reset my Nook HD Plus (Ovation) with CM 10.2, and ran into an issue where Setup Wizard is crashing upon first boot. This is due to some erroneous interactions between ROM & the version of the GAPPS I installed a while ago. Back then, I booted once first, and only then installed GAPPS, so things worked fine.
Strangely enough, until Setup Wizard is run once, the tablet is not fully functional. Swipe down does not work to get to Settings, had to run Settings as an app. Also, Home button does not work either.
Here is how I fixed the issue.
1) Reboot to TWRP, use the built in file manager to rename /system/apps/SetupWizard.apk to *apk_ (do not delete!)
2) Reboot into System, navigate half-halfheartedly to Settings (it is not well functioning at this point), turn on ADB, authorize your computer, then disconnect
3) Now, use a File manager (with root), rename /system/apps/SetupWizard.apk_ back to *apk
4) Plug ADB cable into your PC - at this point "Setup Wizard" is activated by ADB connection
5) Go through Setup Wizard, and that is it!

Hello!
2 pcs P20 Pro (now servicing). Tested 10 and 9 version, not read OTG (in system or in recovery).
Now offline (not PC) update from SD available only... this phone not support SD-Card! Only OTG-SD.
-Attached 3 other USB-OTG converter cable (1pcs new, 1pcs 20x used)
-Attached pendrive (exFAT, FAT32, NTFS)
-Attached SD (exFAT, FAT32) in Kingston USB-SD converter
Pendrive LED not on: not readed.
Tested OTG cable to other USB device, 5V ok, Data line voltage ok: USB all 4 pin ok!
Tested OTG cables other older droid 5.1 phone, all working, SD readed with converter, pendrive readed correctly.
One P20 Pro bricked. Bootloader locked, fastboot mode available only (screen blank), Multi-Tool flasher/unbricker "stock service flash" downloaded to phone and failed (no write permission). Hisuite not support this phone recovery. No other method to unbrick, only SD-update. How to working this port?
Live system not read OTG and bricked system not read OTG.
Live system developer mode settings (*#*#2846579#*#*) changed to default, Manufactture, Hisuite, same. Developer software upgrade: 1. Memory card, 2. APK standalone, not available OTG/USB. Connected to PC: Photo mode, File mode and Charging mode available only (not available reverse charge).
USB port measurement: not powered live system, booting, recovery "update OTG mode" not powered the USB port!
1 phone= inside cable USB to mainboard bad? 2 phone= 2 cable bad??? Not real!
Charging ok. PC connection ok.
What is a problem???
Hey Looking Forward To Help You..
1.Go To "SETTINGS"
2.Search For "OTG"
3.Some Phones Like Eg.Oneplus Have OTG Option In the Status Bar Customisation Tab..
4.Use An Prober Cable [OR] See If It Works On The Other Phone..
5.Important The Drive/SD You're Using Doesn't Have Any Hardware Issues!
6.Best Thing Is Two Option.
A.Software Update.
B.Factory Reset - Data Loss [Not Recommended]
7.Or It Must Be an Hardware Issue Please Reach Out To The Nearest Mobile Service Centre.
Alwaya XDA Peace

If not rooted, use PC with Hisuite official software.
If not communicated to phone, need to reflash manually. This is not free.
In DC-Unlocker site download 2 software + pay 3 day license for this softwares and use.
Bootloop and cracking not related!
Cleared chaches??? Not solve?
Done factory erase,done cache memory erase,done restart and just staying on the Huawei screen where is saying down at the bottom Powered by Android for few minutes and after that goes in to the white meniu where you can select factory reset,updates (tried the WiFi update is not connecting),now I got the firmware and Kiwibird 4 in 1 card reader that you can plug up the "ass " of the phone usingOTG hopefully I can install the firmware from there...I have downloaded the firmware and just putting it on the SD card...have you tried that way?
Firmware install not working "offline" mode.
TWRP and any other not read OTG, only live system.
Another problem: OTG only support FAT/FAT32, not supported NTFS, ExFAT (Live system: need Paragon software). The firmware file more than FAT32 filesize limit (2GB), only stored NTFS or ExFAT = FW file too large for FAT.
Your FW upload only 3 method.
1. Boot to recovery, and set ADB mode, download the FW zip to DLOAD dir (from PC with USB cable + ADB), and install. (NOT TESTED!)
2. Boot to recovery, and set wifi recovery. Connect to wifi AP, download latest downloadable FW and install. (NOT TESTED)
3. Paid method: DC-Unlocker & DC-Phoenix work with standard recovery (limited access) and work own uploaded recovery (self opened bootloader/virtual testpoint).
OTG/SD not option for FW update!
Thanks you for your time,and writing back to me,yes,good point with different types of partitions,I forgot about it...I did try the nr.2 method and is not working,it can't download anything,I have trying different wiFi points,not starting any download,it does connect to the WiFi but can't find anything to be downloaded.
First method is not going to work as I have no access to set ADB mode,only fastboot mode,and is displayed that phone is locked soo, bootloader is locked and can't open it...soo only method to try is theast one...but don't know how much will that cost me.
Also I am thinking of other people said that the battery can have a problem too as my battery is getting empty fast...also something strange maybe..but if you tap the phone on the upper side on the edge it's restarting itself...I am thinking to open it up and try like that as in the past had been dropped soo back glass and camera glass have been replaced,but was working,until I have done factory reset and the process got interrupted in the middle of it and that was it...since.then..Inhave tried reset, factory reset,wipe cache, nothing working.
The softwares for 3 day ~20$. The DC-unlocker site write correct actual price.
If bootloader not opened, only available FW-update in Hisuite Huawei official software.
Test in recovery mode or bootloader mode.
(My recovery is TWRP, not available recovery method. Your available.)
Test connect to phone this software! If yes, but not available firmware, need to use special VPN software. Download offline your phone firmware to PC, or set specified link to VPN soft and Hisuite: update available! (Need Hisuite downgrade for this VPN method.)
If this update not working, purchase 3day license.
Need offline firmware file for your phone.
Soft-bootloader open if not working, use testpoint. (The DC-Phoenix manual write the testpoint position.)
Start the process in PC, Short testpoint to GND and plug USB. (If need, install drivers.)
Started upload unlocked bootloader and unlocked old recovery. After finished, reboot to recovery. (Without accu, work end... after reboot only work with plugged accu.) (Not need unplug accu!)
After booted recovery, wait PC to identify recovery mode, and started download.
The download 2 part! 1= firmware, 2=cust file. Need all selecting!
The download automated. Please wait for 100%. After end, rebooted to system.
Check IMEI, phone signal, MAC numbers. All ok? End flashing.
Wrong or no IMEI, bad MAC? Need the second software.
The second software unlock bootloader, FRP lock, all lock.
Unlocking bootloader (not need): software say the unlocking number, phone boot bootloader, PC USB ADB (Fastboot) command need to write the code, phone question: yes? Is yes, rebooted to recovery and CLEAR ALL DATA! After cleraing, boot system.
All phone start displayed "Phone untrusted".
Unlocked bootloder = uploadable TWRP or any recovery, after not need testpoint to flash.
Root: only rootable 8.1 system. (Not tested 8.1+, bootloader code not readable.)
Hi there mate,I have manage.to fix my phone,just following an old post here,with one russian website,where I got the firmware,put it on the SD card ,by the way you can make it eXFat ,will work for larger sizes,mine was 128 GB,and had to reboot the phone in update mode but selecting OTG/SD and it worked first time!I manage to update it with Android 10.After that all good,done the updates up to 12.
Thank you for your support and time!
Have a great week!
