Ok so i have a Fire HD tablet with dysfunctional WiFi. Right now its on the OS 4.5.5 and I'm trying to follow this guide to root it. So seeing as I can't update to developer preview or OS 5 through wifi, is it possible for me to flash a firmware using adb with the command adb sideload ?? I'm thinking about using either update-kindle-devpreview_ariel-20.5.2.2_user_522041550.bin from here or update-kindle-full_ariel-20.5.2.2_user_522053520.bin from here
You're in a bind. Adb sideload mode is only available in OS 5.x recovery (or TWRP, which requires root). Afaik the only way to get OS 5 is to have Amazon download it to your device. You could try putting the developer preview bin on the SD card and do "check for updates" in Settings, but I don't think it will work.

I see, well I'll try your suggestion and post back whether it works or not
Update:
Finally got around to testing out your suggestion. It worked! I placed update-kindle-devpreview_ariel-20.5.2.2_user_522041550.bin in "sdcard/" then I went into System Updates and I saw a screen similar to the attached picture. I just pressed Update and it updated successfully.
PS: I didn't remember to take a screenshot before I did the update so I put another update file in "sdcard/" after I updated then took the screenshot, but I was originally on the latest unrooted 4.5.5.

Hi,
I've Huawei Ascend G630-U251 phone and I put on it the firmware version:
" Huawei G630-U251 Firmware Andriod 4.3 EMUI 2.0 V100R001C00B159CUSTC605D001 "
I don't know if it is a bug, but I don't have the shortcut bar in the notification panel and I can't enable it because the notification panel is disabled.
Is that a bug?
If not, how can I enable it?

Can I solve it by changing the content of Build.prop? How often the system checks the build.prop file and acts according to it?
Hello and welcome to XDA Q&A section of the Forum.
Kindly reply to this post explaining if you have any mods or tweaks such as, root acces, XPosed framework, custom kernel, custom ROM, custom recovery.
Thank you.
Thanks.
I downloaded the firmware and update it using the update mechanism on the phone.
I downloaded the firmware from here (huawei website):
http://consumer.huawei.com/pa/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=60944&key4=g630
It is not really android 4.4.4 nor emui 3.0, it is android 4.3 and emui 2.0.
And I don't have root access.
I'll be glad if someone can help me.
Thank you again.

And it comes of a .zip or .img? Did you factory reset before and after the flash?

It is a single file called "update.app" and it needs to be in a directory named "dload" in the SD card and then I updated the version in my phone with the update mechanism in the system.
I tried factory reset after the flash to fix it but it didn't work.
Maybe it has something to do with the build.prop file? isn't that the configuration of the system?
How often the system loads the build.prop file?
Don't you suppose to know about these stuff?

First the 10 beta version recovery flashed
https://download.c.realme.com/osupdate/P2Q.ozip
After that, flashed last V9 old version A12 there is no night mode + SOT
https://download.c.realme.com/osupdate/Q2P.zip
If you want a newer normal setup from the file manager version last V9 A21 night mode + SOT working
https://download.c.realme.com/osupdate/RMX1851EX_11_A.21_OTA_0210_all_201912092010.ozip
After flashing the p2q zip can I flash directly the latest coloros ozip available from realme website or is it just the q2p zip which can be flashed
data backup needed?
Thanks a lot for posting this.
So do we need to take backup of the device, while doing the " 10 beta version recovery flashed- using P2Q.ozip"? Like the photos and videos and data will be in the same way or it gets cleared?
And also, if possible, can you post the details steps of it?

Yes , you need to backup your storage
Android 10 will be forced downloaded and installed on ur phone after downgrading to 9
Can't copy the Q2P file to the phone. Instead, I get the message "Cannot copy item. The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected". Tried several times. I can copy over all but that file, for some reason.
EDIT (17/3/20): Downloading it via the phone, instead of the computer, proved effective.
Stuck on beta version
After installing ptoQ when it's on Android 10 24/03/2020 update it stuck on beta version
Which is not allowing to flash other ozip files
Such as p2Q and the official stock rom RMX1851EX_11_A.21_OTA_0210_all_201912092010.ozip
Unable to disable quotas on dev/block/platform because system/bin/tune2fs is missing
Installation aborted
Little help will be appreciated...
cant Flash
I can't flash the Q2P, the writing failed installation

Hi,
Newbie here so go easy!
Ive been changing the settings on an imported chinese tablet such as boot image, remove bloatware, download apps required, etc and it works great. However, I want to be able to create a full image of one tablet and transfer that to other tablets I buy so I dont have to manually do this every time. Basically a full backup and restore of everything on the tablet.
Can anyone assist on the best process to do this.
Thanks
If device's Android got rooted then you can perform a full NANDroid backup by means of either TWRP or FlashFire. FYI: ROOT is required for mounting all partitions as RW.
TWRP:

Hi, I worked out why flash fire was crashing, but some of the items in the app are greyed out so it doesn't allow a back up. I think its because I still have the standard recovery that came with the tablet instead of something like TWRP. And I cant find one online that will work.
Are there any other ways to do a full back up programmatically?
Hello, everyone,
I have a problem, I got a tab s6 which I can't update.

You have written too few details.
If your device is refurbished (bought from unofficial distribution), then even through Odin you may have a problem with flashing.
Check PhoneINFO 3.8.5 to see what you have on your device.

This unit has the initial firmware version and requires a gradual upgrade from BIT 2, BIT 3, to BIT 4.
After these updates using Odin, the device should see an update in the classic way.

hello thanks for your answer, i installed the last update with odin and now android 12 is on the tablet but it gets stuck on the loading screen tablet is starting, my question can i still flash the old updates with odin or how should i now Action?
I wrote you to install in order, without skipping. Did you do that? You can't flash an older firmware version than from the BIT with which you installed the last firmware.
Try clearing the cache in recovery mode. Do not reset to factory settings for now.
My phone is the CPH2459. I purchased it with the July 5, 2022/2022-07-05 Android Version.
1. I enabled developer mode.
2. I had enabled oem bootloader unlock
3. I had enabled "Disable Updates at startup
4. I has disabled automatic play store updates.
Two days go by and the phone goes behind my back and installs an Android 11 update so now I'm on Android 11 September 9, 2022/2022-09-05 update.
The phone tried to mention that it wanted to start the next update to Android S or some nonsense but I decided to stop right there and factory reset it.
After the reset, I'm still stuck on Android 11 September 9, 2022/2022-09-05 update.
Now tonight I want to try and continue rooting this phone unless there is a way to rollback to original Android 11 July 5, 2022/2022-07-05 Android Version.
What would be my next steps. I have downloaded everything I've been suggested to a usb so I can keep working on this step by step. You guys are awesome for sharing this information. Thank you for what you do.
Absolutely! And thank you. Heading home now so Ill shoot you my info.
Once I get familiar with getting this to run on one os I should be able to save copies and then jump back and forth right? I always wonder if it will be like how samsung and other manufacturers sabotage attempts to downgrade and other such annoyances.
So I would go here?

Then I would download which one of these stock boot images?
Followed by which Firmware version?
Just want to make sure I'm on track. None of them say US version, so I'm assuming Global version?
I'd like to know if he ever backed up his rom...I could use a copy.
I see. May I send you a pm?
