Hi guys I'm trying to flash Jovi's Custom Rom. I accidentally pressed the update button on my phone that allows the Latest update from t-moble to kill the phone so It wont charge. Luckily I have quite a but of battery power left and I'm franticly trying to flash a jovi's custom rom. currently I'm getting a "Failed" message when trying to flash on ODEN 3.12 here are the directions I followed to the letter but no success.
First Thing Your Going To Do Is Download Both graceqltetmo_N930TUVU1APGC_Stock_Deodexed.zip And N930T_Note7_Adb_Rootkit_And_Odin_Pack.zip Files From The Download Link Section Below.
2. Extract All The Files From N930T_Note7_Adb_Rootkit_And_Odin_Pack.zip Onto Your PC Desktop, You Will Then Have Eight Files On Your Desktop Which Will Be MODIFIED_TMO_SPR_N930PVPU1APH3_REV00_ENGBOOT_FIRMW ARE.tar.md5, graceqltetmo_N930TUVU1APGC_Stock_Deodexed.img, SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.45.0.exe , adb-setup-1.4.3.exe, CommandPrompt.bat, Odin3.exe, Odin3.ini, And sun7.
3. If You Haven't Setup ADB On Your PC Yet Or Installed The Samsung USB Drivers, Just Open Both Executables SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.45.0.exe And adb-setup-1.4.3.exe And Complete Both The Setup Processes. Once Done You Should Now Have A Created ADB Directory Which Should Be Located At C:\adb. Once ADB Is Setup, Place The sun7 Folder And CommandPrompt.bat Inside Your ADB Folder From The New Directory.
4. Now Put Your Phone Into Download Mode By Powering Off Your Device First And Then Hold The "Volume Down+Home+Power Buttons" At The Same Time Until You See The Download Mode Warning Screen. Now Press The "Volume Up Button" And Then Insert Your Samsung USB Plug.
5. Now Open Odin3.exe, Click On "AP", Select "MODIFIED_TMO_SPR_N930PVPU1APH3_REV00_ENGBOOT_ FIRM WARE.tar.md5", And Then Click On "Start". Wait For A Couple Of Minutes For The Modified N930PVPU1APH3 Engboot Firmware To Finish Installing. After this step it says failed so this is where I'm suck currently at the bootloader. thanks guys for your help

It still works its just stuck at the boot loader. I think when I attempted to flash the stock rom back on the phone It wiped everything. Honestly I'm not trying to root I'm just trying to install the stock rom
You should be able to download it in Sammobile, they usually have every firmware available for Samsung phones. Then you would want to checkout the N7A their accepting beta testers for v2 of the app. Maybe check with them before to see how you should proceed on reinstalling the initial firmware to avoid the update again.

No problem I've been using package disabler pro & N7A's shield for a while now and haven't had any issues. Plus N7A is a really great community especially when other forums don't provide much assistance. I think about 80% off the people still using the Note 7 have either joined N7A or the N7 Rebels (I've heard they charge for their app & assistance but haven't verified myself). ?

Ok cool I just signed in to N7A site. It looks really informative. I downloaded the firmware from sam mobile as you suggested also I have about 10 more minuits before its done downloading. ill keep you posted.
Ok I'd check the help and tutorials section for re-flashing firmware after an update, cause I'm not sure how you would avoid getting the update again unless you have a some sort of shield or package disabling app in place.

I have a Note 5 as a backup and even that feels like a major downgrade I can't imagine what a Note 3 would be like.

Hey just giving you an update. Phone still stuck at boot loader but I have watched the lady known as catwoman video on youtube. I have downloaded and unzipped all the files and even tried to flash without success. Oden keeps giving me a fail. The only problem is with the smart switch application she recommended for download. I downloaded it and ran the app like suggested. It said that the my device is unsupported by smart switch. I cam to the conclusion that this is the way I should have started vs wiping everything which is the reason I'm stuck at the boot loader because there is no data on my phone. Here are the steps I took to get past this problem.
1. Reinstalled Smart Switch, but after the re- install no success.
2. I reopened Smart Switch and clicked the tab that says "MORE" then on Emergency Software & instillation. I followed the steps which included imputing my device model number and S/N. Did that but my device is still reading as a unsupported device on smart switch. I'm in progress of contacting her to see if she or any of her team as any ideas. Hopefully I'm back up and running soon. I cant wait for the note 8 so I can be done with this

P9 Firmware issues

Hi all,
I'm afraid this is a plea for help!
My P9 (EVA-L09) was working fine with the factory image and i rooted it and it worked fine.
I then attempted to follow the debrand guide to get Android 7 and this worked OK except i was missing the EMUI apps (camera, clock etc). So i updated to another Android 7 image (B822?) at which point i was left with no keyboard.
I then tried to flash the old firmware back on and my phone wouldn't boot.
I followed all of the DC phoenix instructions and it still wouldn't boot so i then used DC phoenix to install the factory image and this worked.
From this point i was able to install B136 and then numerous other versions upto the Android 7 one again but no keyboard once again.
The strange thing is that at this point i can no longer lock or unlock the bootloader it says wrong key, and whenever i do a factory restore i don't get the 'out of box experience' where it asks you to connect to the wifi etc.
I just want i working up to date phone, preferably on Android 7 but if not that is no problem.
Would someone that knows a bit more about android be kind enough to teamveiwer on and help me please?
Thanks
Ben
Also, i have just tried to install the current firmware from the Huawei site and this also fails, sits at 5% installing update and goes nowhere...
Sorry, to correct myself the error when trying to unlock bootloader is "remote: command not allowed"

Help!!!! Mate 20 Pro (LYA-AL00) Chinese Version Stuck after dload to android 10

I considered myself to be noob here . It's my fault not to did a lot of research as possible before I proceed my upgrade since I wanted my Huawei Mate 20 Pro (LYA-AL00) (chinese version with no finger print) to run Android 10 instead of 9 (Which I didn't know what version I was using but I believe it was the latest of Android 9 for Mate 20 Pro). What I did was following this guide >
https://ministryofsolutions.com/202...-emui10-android-10-stock-firmware-update.html
everything described in the above link seems legit so I immediately follow step by step and download the stock firmware almost 5 hours. After using OTA with dload I saw the screen install the firmware successfully. However, after few minute the phone boot up and it showed "your device has loaded a different operating system". In such case, I couldn't do anything with erecovery or even using the hstool here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-pro/how-to/manual-upgrading-mate-20-pro-bl-locked-t3905924
by using the method above, i stuck at (install recovery or install system) where my phone screen show circle with 5% processing, then hi suite say failed recovery. In such case, I believed I might install the wrong firmware which isn't allow for my phone? If it is wrong why the phone allow to install the firmware via dload? If not compatible or wrong should not let user process the work.
Right now I stuck at (Your device is loaded a different operating system) and nothing I can do in erecovery including using wifi to update. Can anyone help? Thank you
Sorry for my bad english.
NEED HELP !!!! same problem on lya l09
i used hisuite to update my mate 20 pro LYA L09 to emui 10 ( the official way ) after the update was installed my phone was stuck in this black screen " your device has loaded a different operating software " . i tried using erecovery " get package info failed"
OTG DLoad package method, if works you will be fine. If not, try DC phoenix with a Dload package. Last time I experienced same thing. Then DC phoenix helps.

The guide seems overly complicated...
You just need to place the firmware zip file in the root directory of your phone. Sometimes, the phone will detect it immediately but if not, just restart and you should see a popup dialogue box at the bottom asking you if you want to update.
If above is what you did and it said update failed, I would recommend re-downloading the firmware from Asus website, again. Then, try to update, again. Sometimes the downloading process goes bad and since Asus does not provide MD5 checksum, you cannot check. This is what happened to me once...after re-downloading the firmware, the update process went fine.
