What is this anyway - P8 Lite (2017) Discussion

I just want to use a custom ROM, not find out after a day that i need to do additional steps. And then when there's a guide for the additional steps, it's not really a guide.
Seriously, what kind of first step is "download update.zip" anyway? I did and it contained a trojan. Thanks for nothing

Who the hell are you even talking to?!
Seems more like you don't know what you are doing and are angry because of that.

First of all, this question should not have been posed here.
Answer: There is nothing special that you need to do to your phone other than follow the installation instructions described in these ROM threads. It's just a matter of downloading files and put them in the root of the internal sd.
you really need to look at the FAQ. It's has EVERYTHING, you've search in the wrong section i'm afraid! Go to Q&A, it's all there, and then look at General to get you started.
Ok tnx for redirecting the thread.
But need i to root my phone before i flashin a custom rom ?

As I have mentioned earlier, you do not have to do anything prior to flashing a custom rom...just follow their installation instructions.

need help restoring Gear to stock firmware

Hi, I installed null on my Gear, but it gave me lot of problems so I decided to restore the stock firmware. I have done lot of searches, but since I am a newbie a didn't understand what to do. First i don't know where to get the ROM file. I found a thread listing all the stock ROMs for the various regions, but there are no download links, the author just says "you know where"... ehm I don't actually know where so I am totally confused. Plus, I don't actually know what to do with the ROM file once I download it.
Ok I know this could be a very noob question, but I am really confused, because all the guides are not so clear and sometimes they use some kind of coded language (is this cool?) and I can't get the meaning of any the expressions used, understanding anything. I just need to know what to download (just need a link) and how to flash it in order to restore my gear to stock ROM. Thanks for your patience, hope you can help.

Hello, thanks for your precious help and sorry for the late answer. I found the download page, but I just can't download the file: when I select the one I need, it redirects me to a page where I can choose two mirrors. One simply doesn't work (RapidGator) and the other one (TeraFile) redirects me to a site where I choose regular download, complete the captcha and then just wait, and wait, and wait and nothing happens (chrome acts like loading a new page, showing the tiny "spinning wheel" near the title of the tab but nothing happens). Hope you can help finding a new link

Hi, thanks a lot, but I tried again after a few hours and it did work. I forgot to post, since I was at work. Sorry, my bad. By the way I flashed the file, but it didn't work: my gear was stuck at boot displaying the samsung logo. So I tried to recover it using Kies and it did work, and now it runs it's own original ROM. Sorry again for forgetting to post how I solved and thanks for your interest.

Well, i think you don't actually need those files: if you restore the device using Kies it works flawlessly. All you need to know is your device's serial number, and it's printed on the side of its original box.

Does it download the firmware from a server or just resets the gear?

It downloads from www.sammobile.com
I'm pretty sure it downloads the latest official firmware, since it actually says "Downloading" in the first phase of the procedure.
Only gave option to upgrade to latest firmware. Got the .md5 from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2631244

Yes it is very easy to root the Note 4 with CF-AutoRoot. Here is a great guide by @TEKHD you can follow.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n910tuvu1anih-cf-t2903733
You can also look at this guide by @jovy23 and he has all the files you need in one zip.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56226823&postcount=2
If all you care about it rooting the phone, just follow the guides up to that point. Good Luck!

Not a problem, take your time the first time and follow the instructions exactly. Once you have done it once, you should get it and it is a breeze after that.

I did it this way and it worked perfectly. Had a little mishap though trying to download twrp through pay stpore instead of flashing. But, everything works now
Could you help me? I flashed a stock lollipop rom via odin and it worked flawlessly. I now would like to reroot my device. I downloaded all the correct files and when I go to flash the tar file via Odin I get an error, "security check fail: recovery". It won't flash but luckily didn't brick my device. I've tried plenty of time to no avail

Go to settings - security - reactivation unlock (uncheck it). Try flashing again, you should be good to go.

Can you Reinstall Stock Firmware on Amazon Exclusive R1 HD?

Just the question from the title. I just bought one. I can live with ads but not anyone's favorite. But before I start using it, can I simply reinstall it with stock firmware? If so is there some tutorial I can follow?

To return to fully stock , locked boot loader, stock system, recovery, out of box condition (V6.1)
You must be on old preloader so you can use sp flash tool to flash these partitons. You probably could put the images into a recovery zip also,
But that is not the way I did it so I dont have the info on it.
1. Verify you have access to flash tool.
if you do not have access will need to roll back with these instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/how-to/r1hd-update-6-6-bootloader-roll-t3491096
2. once you have spft access, download my o.o.b. package. from same link as above, click on the "click to show content" button.
3. unpack into one folder. Load scatter file into flsh tool. (DO NOT USE FORMAT DOWNLOAD ONLY)
I dont know of any reason to go this drastic of a restore but here you go.

[Q] Can't boot into TWRP and my phone got unrooted

Hello!
I have a Huawei Mate 9 (MHA-L29C432B190). Yesterday I tried to root my Phone to play Pokemon Go with fake gps. After I managed to root my phone, I couldn't boot into TWRP Recovery Mode anymore.
Because I still had some files I needed to flash I installed Flashfire from the PlayStore. I think after I flashed the newest Magisk version(The flash failed because of Error:1), my device got unrooted. But I think my device is still partly rooted because I can't get into Pokemon Go. Everytime I try to start it I get stuck the loading screen. So right now I can't flash anything to get my root back and I don't have the root to use alternative flash applications. I also tried to start return my phone to stock back with a update.app But it can't be installed. I also can't use "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" I always get " Writing 'recovery'...FAILED (remote:command can't be used/allowed)". And also after some reboots my oem unlock got turned off and I can't turn it on anymore.
I don't have any ideas anymore what to do. I thought I could root my device, so I could unroot properly with superuser. I tried some other application like KingRoot oder OneClickRoot but both of them don't have a rooting method for the Huawei Mate 9 yet. Btw I don't have a backup because of my naivety.
I hope you guys can help me . I appreciate any ideas
Thanks in advance

That doesn't tell me anything. That just tells me that you tried flashing.
It doesn't tell me anything about exactly what you tried to flash or what errors you got when you flashed. I need more precise information to help you. Your simple answers aren't helping me understand anything about what you have going on with your device.
What tools have you used? What guide/instructions did you use? What files have you used? What errors did you get? What results did you get. What do mean "didn't work"? "Didn't work" can mean many things.
I might be able to help you fix your device but I can't fix ignorance.

First I tried to do a force upgrade with a "dload" folder with a update.app file on my sdcard . After booting into this upgrade mode by pressing vol up + vol down + power button my device starts to install the stock firmware, but after it reaches 5% I get the message "Error with installing" and a Link to the same site when you boot into twrp. This always happens no matter which file I use. Next I tried to do a normal upgrade by calling this number "*#*#2846579#*#*" (The dload folder is still on my sdcard). But when I start the software upgrade I get booted into twrp and like I said in my post, always when I try to get into twrp I get stuck on the "Your device is booting screen". This is what I tried and basicly every site on google is saying I should try to do one of these two methods

Stock upgrades are not going to work if you are rooted and have TWRP.
Stock updates require stock recovery and an unmodified system partition(no root).
