New B170 and touchplus - Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello, I ordered the protective film touchplus I see him again in around two weeks. the problem is that the new version B170 removed the ability to use the touchplus in Europe. I will start this post so that we can start an advanced search with the whole community because if one is not touchplus users are permanently stuck on the B132 ... I am interested in any proposals and unlock my bootloader and I root I tried the build.prop but not worked. thank you in advance

Download this file : https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B90WlDTwpRLXXzhOMkhHV1JnNkE
Unpack on PC
Copy whole folder "HWTouchplus" to SD card
Download Root explorer
Copy whole folder "HWTouchplus" to /System/apps/
Set permissions to 0755 (Touch & Hold folder until menu pops open, press "Permissions" set as this)
Did not test this, Its copied from B132, hope it works.

well then I try the new menu touchplus appears in the settings but do not open. so I simultaneously tried to activate the function in the touchplus build.prop but the result is the same .Can be another file is needed? Thank you for helping me .

Did you restart your phone ?
If after restart still not working, try to go to system/apps/HWTouchplus, and install the APK that is in there.
It can fail, i dont know if it will work. I will look for touchplus in my build.prop
//edit
Edit buildprop, this is part of my build.prop.
Code:
ro.config.hw_gps_power_track=true
ro.config.hw_smartcardservice=true
ro.config.hw_subtitle_support=true
ro.config.hw_support_geofence=true
ro.config.hw_touchplus_enabled=true
ro.cust.cdrom=/cust/preinstalled/public/cdrom/autorun.iso
Search in your build.prop (for example) for : "geofence", and add the touchplus line after it

Yes I rebooted after.
touchplus the line in build.prop I had seen before and I had already tried to put True.
I tried to install the .apk but he said impossible.
I then go to another folder in the system / app to view the permissions and this is what I did:
1» folder touchplus (775)
2» as the arm64 in 775
3» the .apk rw rr. Same any other application Huawei presents in system / app.
still the same result.

That is weird. We can try to backup with Titanium backup, and then you restore the app + data
Want to try that?

You have another app in system/privapp?

Yes thx you
Backup when touchplus is activate.

Touchplus active, put folder in this rar on phone, install titaniumbackup and it should be able to restore.
Maybe remove old Touchplus folder in system/app

No its not working its not active touchplus the menu. I Not see any solution

Last possibility : Put folder in system/apps, so it appear in menu, then restore with titanium backup?
If not i dont see any solution :/

Hello, I recently bought a Huawei P8 I am very satisfied I consider the best smartphone I had. but recently I was very disappointed, in fact at setting a(update) B170 days there was great novelty of the knock on like, but against the function to touchplus was removed ... why? I bought protection touchplus 50 euros and now she is unusable over the touchplus function was one of the reasons I bought the P8 and now I have more. it is. as bought a car with GPS integration and some week later removing it to you without good reason! Is voluntary on your part? or is it a mistake? Would you have a solution? thank you to consider that I am not the only one who dislikes it, it can damage your brand image. thank you in advance.

[Q] No SIM-card found

Hey all!
So my problem is that my SGS can't find any SIM cards...
First of all i got 2.1 android and then i updated to 2.2 version:I9000NEJP2
After that it seemed that my SGS was really slow, so i decided to use CFW.
I installed Darky's v.8.0
Everything worked fine, was really fast.
The next step was to unlock the simlock. First i tried SGS Unlock freeware.
I watched some vids and read some threads and the most of em said or wrote that this app worked fine. I tried it but the app couldn't find any codes on the phone.
After that i decided to try the PC version. I downloaded "Generate Unlock Windows" but this doesn't work for me too. No keys were shown in the box -.- .
So i tried it sometimes, and the result was, that i couldn't use my SGS any more.
Can't find the sim. I tried several times, nothing worked.
Then i downgraded my fw to I900XXJP2 once more, but useless...
does anybode have an unfreeze code, or does anybody know how i could solve that prob?
maybe unlock-code?
and if yes, where could i get this the best way?
Simlock is [3; Austria]
IMEI (still the original one): 354795/04/228598/8
thanks for any kind of help
maybe i'll sound a little bit nooby, but i'm new in that forum and also a new android user
thx
This may or may not solve your problem but some people have found that their SIM card seems to stop working after they have changed their product code. The fix for this is to run the following commands from ADB (you need to be rooted with SU installed):
- adb shell
- su
- busybox chown 1001:1001 /efs/nv_data.bin
- reboot
Or if you have a Terminal Emulator on your phone you can do the following:
-su
-chown 1001:1001 /efs/nv_data.bin
-reboot
AFAIK it can't do any harm running this file ownership command on nv_data.bin even is it isn't the cause of thr problem so give it a try, I hope it helps!
so first of all i got to tell u, that i've never used ADB before, and i do not know what that is and how i can start that
i started to google it but after reading several pages i'm do not know more...
could you pls tell me how i can start and type that?
and also where i can find it?
thx
didnt work
I tried the one with the terminal emulator..
did everything like u wrote, reboot...
nothing happened
seems that i ruined something -.-
maybe an other idea how i could solve that prob?
additional information: i got a little simcard symbol at the top of the screen and next to it there is a callsign
try nav_data.bin copy to your pc and run sgux from cmd or post it here
can't find the efs folder on my phone, where should i look for the file?...

So for ON is network lock which is good.
Ok you keep your orginal nv_data file on pc and copy these files to your efs folder with super manager. Then reboot phone and post back does sim work now.

Do you know a side where i could find the codes for other countries?
Or what things i shall do too.
This guy wrote that he tried it at 2.1 and i have 2.2.
Could that be a prob?
thx for ur help

Not sure but try this. delete files I send you in elf folder and copy these 2 files from zip and then reboot phone and see with code is network lock on or off and if it doesn't work then delete files from elf folder (ones I send you) and copy orginal nv_data.bin back; then reboot phone and with code see network unlock
and please post back for all situations. Also try booting phone without any sim in it and then with sim
when enter code if no locks are there then it should be everything like in picture

OK this is last shot. If nothing worked before try these 2 files from zip on phone and post back; and before coping them delete old ones and also can you post your nv.log from efs folder?
Tried everyone of your solutions and in every case i could NOT see the [ON] or [OFF].
It seems like it disappeard. Only space left, no symbols, nothing.
And the card can't be found too.
ups sorry forgot to attach 2 files. If this doesn't work I don't know what will. then put back orginal file in efs folder.
Also if you know someone who has also sgs still locked to your network copy his files here (complete efs folder)
all files I posted are modified and worked without problem on my sgs. Also please post nv.log from you efs folder here

[Q] Willingly uninstalled a default app (how could i be soo dumb)

Please help me, i have a Galaxy S gt-i9000 with froyo (rooted) and i downloaded some custom dialer/ contacts and sms packs (it looked nice so i thought .. why not give it a try) but one of the apps said that its recommended to remove the default app so that it wont cause any conflicts. i wanted to uninstall the default dialer app but i ended up uninstalling the "Phone" app .. and now i cant use the contacts widget.. touching a contact wont pop up the menu with options (call, video call, send sms ..)
i wanted to check if i can try anything in Kies (restore or something) but my phone doesn't seem to be recognized anymore in Kies :|
Is there anything to be done?
any advice is deeply appreciated.
i have attached phone apk for you to install. you just need to unzip it and place it under /system /app and then reboot. make sure system is mounted RW
if that fails, reflash the ROM.
thank you for the prompt answer.
i downloaded the zip but i cant get to the root folder .. i mean .. i can only connect the phone in storage mode ...
should i try using a card?

You need either Root Explorer (paid) or Astro File Manager (free) from the market. Storage mode is fine, just copy the unzipped apk from your pc to the internal storage, then use one of the apps above to move it to /system /app.
Make sure you mount /system /app as rw or it wont paste.
ok so i copied it in /app ... asked me if i want to replace .. canceled and tried to run the phone apk that i already had ... it said App not installed.. so i copied and replaced the one from you .. and tried to run .. still no result :|
the phone apk is there ... but i think the dialer app is the one actually missing .. could you please add the dialer app as well?

right now i have from dialer: dialertabactivity.odex (i think there should be a dialer.apk here as well)
and from phone: Phone.apk, Phone.odex, Phone_Util.apk, Phone_Util.odex, PhoneErrService.apk, PhoneErrService.odex, PhoneSetupWizard.apk, PhoneSetupWizard.odex
pff .. i erased the contacts.apk as well :| i just figured that one out :|

Yep, it's the one with the green square, no Dialer.apk on my phone, just DialerTabActivity (apk&odex)Ok I've added a few into this rar, most you probably have, but I found 2 contact ones you didn't mention, so maybe they will help, these are all I have on my laptop that are related to the phone I think, see if they help.
you got a DialerTabActivity apk?
i copied all and overwrite them but still cant install the apps back. i would of wanted to keep my apps and stuff ... is there any other way to reinstall the default apps that i stupidly uninstalled? (Contacts, Dialer, Phone) dont know if it helps .. but i used the "Uninstaller for Root" app

Ok, I could be wrong here, but I'm fairly sure I read somewhere on here that you need to MOVE system apps, not COPY them, so go to system/app/ again and delete the ones you copied, then Move them from root of your sd to system/apps again. Then maybe try a reboot. I'm not sure this will solve it, but it's probably worth a try...
well ... no wireless here ... no wap on my sim ... cant get astro at the moment seems that everything i thought i was doing was bogus .. the file manager was saying that it was pasting/ copying/ deleting but it wasn't ... I'll replay tomorrow after downloading astro and after i actually do everything suggested

Sorry, I assumed you were using Astro, or Root Explorer.
Astro is free on the market so it should be ok for me to post it here (if not, someone tell me ok?).
Gimme a few minutes to upload it...
ok .. i'll wait as much as it takes .. just to get this bastard working
Hey, happy to help, if I'm actually helping lol. That's what the sites for
Ok I've attached Astro, but I'd recommend buying Root Explorer, it's what I use. Also I've included a pic of the permissions needed by each of the files I put in the rar. I don't know about Astro, but in Root Explorer you just long press the app to get to permissions menu. You may not even need them, I'm not sure. Will check back tommorrow to see if you're making any progress.
ok thanks once again .. and good night
well astro cant edit permissions .. or at least not the free version .. or maybe they changed it in newer versions (in case there are any)

Damn, that's a pity, that was the latest version from the market, think you should buy Root Explorer if you can.
Permissions aside, did you successfully move the files with Astro?
If you did, dont try to install them, try a reboot first, I think that's what I did when I put the email.apk from SGSII into my SGS.
Sorry I didn't solve your problem tonight, will try again tommorrow if you want
i couldnt even move them cause the app dir is read only ... same for the files ... so unless i can get an app that can edit permissions i cant try moving/rebooting .

You need to be rooted, at least to be able to use AntTek and Root Uninstaller, and no, you won't loose it in case of FW update, unless the upgrade is for the camera too... but the process is fast. 5 minutes and its done

Thanks Dude, but did download the ICS Camera, to take pictures without shutter sound.
Ruedas, a rooted phone doesnt receive OTA updates, right?
strange thing that i downloaded the apk, tried to install it but wouldnt work even after changing permissions. Had no camera forawhile. Downloaded the stock apk, just copy and pasted it in the folder and all of a sudden i have my camera back with no shutter sound...no idea why but thanks
I'm trying my best to fix (IOW; mute) the shutter sound on my GF's O4X. While I believe I understand how this is done, I'm not able to actually get it done.
I've managed to get the phone rooted (thanks to alexp999's simple to follow guide). If I've understood things correctly; I now need to replace the original camera.apk with the modified one found in this thread.
Problem is that, in the /system/app folder, both renaming files (the old camera.apk) and copying files (the new camera.apk) to the folder fails.
Anyone able to see what I'm missing / doing wrong? Any help would be thoroughly appreciated!..

With "Root Uninstaller Pro" I uninstall the original one, than I grab the modded file and past it in .../system/app and I install it from there.

Thanks for the reply and suggestion RuedasLocas!
Titanium Backup seems to have the option to uninstall system apps, I'll give that a go. Would however like to figure out how to copy files to the system/app folder before I do that (given that this is required to re-install/enable the camera). Have tried with both ES File Manager and Total Commander; both have been given SU-privelages, both are able to browse to the folder, neither is able to copy files to or rename files in the folder...

Use "AntTek" explorer, works together, or alone if you wish, with Root Uninstaller, you can copy/paste or just cut/paste...

Tried AnTek Explorer; What an interesting file manager! Will have to test this for a longer period of time, could possibly become my new goto file manager. Thanks for the tip!..
Though I couldn't get the new/modified camera.apk to the system/app directory. Though this time it failed with an error messge; "Error Don't have enough permission to do this action" (see attached screenshot). Have double-checked that "Native mode" is enabled within AnTek and that its (permanently) enabled in SuperSU. Not sure how I can give an app even more permissions...

Have double-checked that "Native mode" is enabled within AnTek and that its (permanently) enabled in SuperSU. Not sure how I can give an app even more permissions...

Just reboot the phone and it should be enough.
Some apps need a reboot to work properly.

Thanks for all the help! Rebooting allowed me to rename files. Then I finally figured out why copying files to the system folder failed (or at least partly); For reasons unknown to me, I weren't allowed to copy/move files directly from the external_sd card to the system/app directory, Had to first move the to an internal location, then I could move then to the desired location!
End result; The annoying shutter sound is gone! :victory:
Again; Thanks for all the help!

The IMEI is not supossed to change, is your phone's UINIQUE number. Try editing the build.prop for model number and see if it works for you.
Thank you so much for an early reply. I am a noob when it comes to flashing roms and changing the builds. I will be very grateful to you if you can provide me with a link which tells how to change the build.

Try this
Take the build.prop from the system folder and copy it in your internal storage
Now in pc open buil.prop from internal storage
Do the required editing in notepad or notepad ++
Save it
Now using root explorer copy the edited buil.prop to system folder with permissions rw-r-r

I can understand your doubt. I am attaching the photo of my box it says c5302.
Please try to help me if you can. I am helpless here since I have unlocked the bootloader and the sony customer care people won't consider it under warranty.

[LOGCAT] Can't set any secure screen lock

I was using a ROM with Android 8.1 but after returning to the NovaOS (Nougat) ROM whenever I try to add any secure lock screen method (PIN / Pattern / Pass) the settings application force closure. After trying to set Pattern method the settings app just force close, but after trying to set PIN/Pass method it actually set the pin but also force close and I cannot try again to set others methods because it ask for the pin and keeps closing.
This happens in any TW or Stock based ROM. But in AOSP/LineageOS ROMs works normally.
Things I already have tried:
* Full wipe
* Reinstall at least 5 different ROMs
* Installing ROMs with and without root/gapps
* Format /system and /data
* Encrypt and decrypt phone/Microsd card.
* Changing Kernel
* "Fix contexts" in TWRP
* Smash the phone to a wall
I do not know what I can do to solve this problem, I don't want to use my phone without a secure lock/fingerprint or use Oreo ROMs, can someone help me?
Maybe try flash stock firmware using odin first and then try other roms.
Even after flashing Stock Rom through Odin the problem persists, omg...
Tried flashing Stock and doing full wipe after too but no sucess...
I think some protected/secure partition are messed up, because I noticed now my wifi password are not being saved after a reboot too, and after I flashed Stock Rom via Odin and phone reboots to Stock Recovery to finish the process, at this point I get a error in recovery like "cannot find /misc partition", I dont know if this is normal or not.
Here is more detailed logs from adb logcat, honestly I'm starting to get afraid of this not being possible to solve, please guys, I need help, there so much experts and experienced people here, you are my last hope

Hi guys,
I have the same problem and I have not been able to give the permissions to the efs folder, I'm using root eplorer and giving rw permissions.
The efs folder handles these 0771 permissions and I try to change it to 0775 but when restarting the phone the changes are not applied.
please help:crying:
Same issue here, is it possible to make the change persistent through reboots? I can't set screen locks :/
