Tried Kingo Root and it keeps failing at 90%. Tried Kingo Root (for PC) and that makes it to 100%, but fails as well. Was about to try the method outlined on TeamAndroid.com's page, but I could not find my specific model their model page.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Do a search, it's hairy but works.

Does anyone have any actual advice? Telling me, in essence, to rtff doesn't help. From what I can tell, N950U is not rootable at the moment. Am I wrong? If so, what steps do I need to take to root my phone? I hate using my phone in its stock condition.
As rbeavers said, do a search. Or if you looked around a bit, & I really mean just a little bit you will easily find it. Take a look in the development section. Or if you looked in the Sprint section you'd really have no problem finding it as it's the only thread there.
You have Snapdragon if you did not know. And be sure to read the thread very carefully, the 80% part.

Hello guys. I just got an updater notification and I wanted to know which Android version is it based on. Google Search doesn't give any results. Anybody has it installed and can give me some feedback?
Can you take screenshot? I quess it is for Lollipop.

It's all in Polish, so you probalby won't understand. I'll just install it and give it a go.
It says only saying about improvements, not about any technical stuff like Android version.

Thanks, mine update failed to download unfortunately. Shame it's still Android 5.0.1 and EMUI 3.1. I hoped for Marshmallow :laugh:
I can't download it...it's slow.... 40% in 4 h, but in the end has stopped.
Yeah, mine isn't downloading either. It has partially downloaded several times and failed repeatedly. I'm in Slovenia with US English settings.
Hi! I have the same problem with the download. It's very slow and it crashed several times. Is it a problem with my phone or a problem from Huawei's servers? Thanks!
Now I download without problems and installed, but earlier its very, very slow, 3% per hour. I'm in Poland.
Anyone can share the experience after installing B200 ?
Is it better than B190 in terms of battery life (at least after this day or so since release
Is the fix for "double-tap-letters" still present i.e. was not removed / did not come back? (B190 fixed this and I hope that all future updates will be fine)
P.S. I cannot find anywhere link to this B200. (I found only the update for standard P8). Anyone can share a link if possible?
Installed it this morning and there are two things that I noticed:
- status bar isn't showing 4g but it says lte
- double tap bug has been repaired I think

Double-tap bug has been repaired already in B190 (but thanks for letting us know that nobody broke it in newer B200
---
Anyone has the link? I cannot find it on official Huawei site.
I can't install B200, 4% error every time :/ can someone help? or give a link to a solution
Installed. No notable changes.

i wanted to update it per local update again or to the beta version above, but it always says "Software install failed".
does anyone have the same problem or know how i can fix it ? would be a big help !!

Maybe you should downgrade to B170 or something like that but I am not sure.

Hello everyone,
I've been a lurker here for a bit, and this is my very first post.
By following a few guides here, I was able to successfully install CyanogenMod 13 (latest nightly) and OpenGApps (nano). Everything works fine, and I'm very happy with the custom ROM; however, I noticed that the data speeds are definitely not LTE even though it shows on the reception signal symbol that it is, indeed, LTE. In fact, it has slowed down to the point where I can barely use Google Maps, and it's almost impossible to load a webpage, much less download an app. I'm also experiencing spotty reception. I did not have either of these problems before installing Cyanogenmod.
The following is some information about the phone:

From what I have seen this is what's provided to solve most problems. I'm a little clueless as to exactly what information I should provide, so please guide me and I'll provide it accordingly. Also, I did some searching and did not see any forum thread addressing this issue. If I scrolled right past it, or if I'm just plainly blind, and there is indeed a thread about this with a fix, then please post the link and close this thread.
Some help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,

I am running and old rooted G900A still on 4.4.2.
I haven't updated for so long that I am having a hard time deciphering what steps I would take to flash a new rom and if it would be worth it or not.
One thing that is convincing me to make the jump to a higher OS is wifi calling and texting seems to be available, however I hardly see any mention of it anywhere in the forums. Does anybody know what version of Android I'd need for wifi calling and texting and if I have to be unrooted/rooted, stock rom, custom rom?

Thanks. I think for me it might even be worth it to unroot and go back to stock and update to at least the 6.0 version you mentioned, or the latest ATT version available if that's what I need to do to get wifi calling and texting. Now I just need to figure out the best way to do that...
Memory tells me I have AnyKernel ROM but I can't find much about it on xda anymore... probably because it's pretty dated. That being said, it was the best ROM I've ever used and I'd like to do a clean wipe and install it again.

Get some Oreo in your life. I'm running crDroid 4.7 with fantastic results. Pie ROMs are becoming more stable, soon I'll be switching.
Or you want to reinstall your current ROM, why don't you format the data partition in TWRP to clear out the data from your phone?

I'll try Oreo out. I originally did try to go Oreo by Nitrogen but all of the Oreo links pointed to the Pie ROMs, so I don't know where to find those at either. I just need something stable is all. I'll check out crDroid 4.7. Thanks for the tip.
As far as the question about reinstalling my ROM, the reason behind this is because I own 2x Shamu's. The purpose behind a new install is so I don't mess the old one up (more than it already is) and then go without a daily driver. It worked well in the past as I bricked one (luckily brought it back) and would have been without a phone for 5-6 days if I hadn't set it up this way. I'm pretty novice when it comes to all this advanced stuff and I hedge against that by rotating between two.
Why do you need a copy of the ROM? If you want to start over with a factory reset, just do one...or wipe data, cache and dalvik in recovery. I would strongly suggest a nandroid first.
If you are looking to put this same OS on a different N6, take a nandroid and copy it over to the other phone and restore it. Make sure the bootloader matches at least the version on the original device.
I get not wanting to loose some look or function that you like, but you are trading security for that. There are several Oreo ROMs that may meet your needs. LineageOS is the replacement to the CyanogenMod ROM you're running. You won't find an official copy because it's been shutdown years ago. If you find a copy on the internet, you run the risk that it's modified.
Also, take a look at AOSiP and ABC ROMs.
If you decide to go to Oreo, you need to bite the bullet and upgrade to the last google stock ROM first so the bootloader is updated. You can get that from Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices .
"find somebody that you think is undeserving of your compassion and give it to them" - Christian Picciolini
I tried out crDroid with Oreo and it was laggy. Maybe because I didn't update my bootloader like ktmom mentioned above. Either way, I decided to try out PureNexus after that and PureNexus was speedy enough for me. Lacked a lot of the configurations I had with AnyKernel/CM13, but it offers enough to satisfy my needs. Appreciate all of the help and suggestions in this thread. This truly is a great community. Can't thank you all enough.
Any opinion?: firmware choice: Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T810 [moved from Android General Q&A]
I'm looking for best bets for choosing a good firmware update for this older SM-T810 tablet that I still like. It is Wifi-only.
The tablet recently got very flaky on Android 5 so I let it install an auto-downloaded image for Android 6. The new image probably came from Samsung since I was told at purchase that device had official Samsung firmware for Android 5.1.1. (see ABOUT DEVICE below)
Things got worse using the new Android 6 image, so bad that I'm ready to install new firmware by sideloading.
1. Since the device was rooted by prior owner (see: DEVICE HISTORY below for details) I am guessing I have little to gain by sticking with an official Samsung image--unless nothing else works. Does that sound right? And, does anything prevent me from going the non-Samsung route?
2. If it makes sense at this point to try a non-Samsung image, my question for folks here boils down to this: where am I likely to have the best luck finding a build that will work well on the device? For example, I wonder
who are the most experienced makers of firmware for this older tablet?
and which version of Android--7 or 8? Should I avoid 8 or go for it?
(I've seen an unofficial Lineage OS build for Android 8. I believe that Android 7 builds exist, too.)
Thanks for any suggestions.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
MORE:
(I've waited so long to update because a) I seldom use the tablet and b) seller said that he'd had problems with a German Nougat and had reverted to official Android 5.1.1. )

[DEVICE HISTORY, as far as I can say:
I bought in 2017 on swappa.com. Seller told me "What you would get out of the box is the official Samsung OEM firmware for Android 5.1.1 (XAR-T810XXU2BPB1-20160323135521) with the official Samsung recovery. Updates will apply without issue, either by directly loading with Odin or SmartSync, or doing an OTA firmware update....It is running pure stock firmware now. Since it was rooted at one point, the Samsung Knox flag is tripped. It's the only thing that would distinguish this device from a new-in-box tablet."]

Thanks. I didn't know it had GTS210 gpu.
Notebookcheck.net and Wikipedia show it as ARM Mali-T760 MP6.
Whatever, Lineage OS 15.1 doesn't seem to have any serious competition. Hope it works when I try it--first time jitters!
I got N on mine for a long time. Now I get O 15.1 linesgeos now. It looks like the best for gts210wifi for now.
