Hello, i found a gear fit2 while out jogging, advertised to try find the owner and no one replied, so now i have this unit ....i did a factory reset and of course now the activation lock is on by the original owner. Is there a way of resetting this so i can use it? Is it a firmware installation process i need to do to solve this? or do i just throw it in the rubbish bin?
Thanks in advance for any help.
same issue when bought a Gear S2 on ebay. Returned the watch, can not do anything to remove activation lock easily.
For Gear S2 there is a guy wich can unlock with remote PC connection and it ask $45 (search youtube for Gear S2 activation lock).
I BOUGHT THE FILES. once i have done the process and check it works i will post the links here for free. if someone can help me creating the tutorial that will be nice (im lazzy) will hit with news soon as i have them

Hi did you ever finish? I would be happy to pay you some$ for the files. I'd rather pay you than one of these jerks trying to extort money from people on youtube.
So it's not hard to put the thing into download mode wireless, and connect to it over wifi with my computer. the rest of the process and the files though, I don't have.
Thanks
I paid
I paid 30usd and he unlocked it for me. It works great. 1hr.
What ADB Commands are Needed?
Getting the files is not a big deal, it's what you do once you have them that matters. The part that's missing that all the Shady greedy unlock service providers try to hide from you when they do the removal process, are the ADB Commands they use to remove the activation lock.
Basically they use net Odin and recovery wireless download mode (AP) to flash firmware revision that lets you enter developer mode and enable ADB, and then ADB into the Gear Fit 2 and remove the lock via ADB command, while they have Echo off to hide what they're doing in the command window.
after it's done and you reboot, you net Odin flash to regular retail firmware. And you're done
Does anyone know the ADB Commands are once the Fit 2 is connected, to remove activation lock?
Could be common to what is done for Samsung's other Tizen smart watches.

Do you still have the steps? Other than the files what are the ADB Commands once connected? Thanks
Steps for everyone else since the OP seems to have disappeared. Here is the basics, what we're missing are the ADB commands to remove the actual protection. Someone can fill in the blank please since I saw everything but those commands (they were hidden)
1. Download Net Odin and install. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1...WhHTzFLNHhTbUk - Also have ADB installed on your computer. Minimal ADB and Fastboot is one package you can use for this.
2. Also youll need to download a gear fit 2 factory diagnostic? firmware here ver U1DQH1 works - http://www.gsm-file.com/files/factorysw-combination-file-6378 . And a set of normal firmware. Such as from here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1...Wp6MnNsWHpLelE
3. Hold power down on gear fit 2 until you see rebooting in blue, while it says that hit power button 2-3 times to get to bootloader menu. use power to move to Download (wireless) and hold power down to select. as soon as it enters Download wireless mode, hit power twice quickly to change to AP mode.
4. Run Net Odin and leave it running. Then go to your wireless settings and connect to the now-visible Gear Fit 2. After a few minutes, Net Odin should show an IP address in the box on the left.
5. Click the AP button in Net Odin and load the unzipped combination FTMA file you downloaded above. Hit Start and flash it. Once done, Fit 2 will reboot to a screen with yellow diagnostic info. Hit Power, settings, connection, wifi, turn it on, then connect to your wireless internet connection.
6. Once connected, then touch that network connection in the Fit 2 connection list to open up details, and note the ip address (example: 192.168.201.12).
7. Hit back button to go back into settings, then Gear Info, then enable developer mode (this enables ADB), then hit back to back out of settings menu
8. Open up a command prompt window in the directory where you have adb.exe, and type adb connect IPADDRESS:26101
- note IPADDRESS is your Ip address you noted above, and the :26101 is a port number. So using above example, I would type:
adb connect 192.168.201.12:26101
9. Once connected, type adb devices and you should see it listed.
10. THIS IS THE MISSING STEP - here are the ADB commands to remove the activation lock settings/flags. SOMEONE PLEASE FILL THIS IN
11. Once step 10 is done, hold power to reboot your Fit 2 (it's ready to be flashed with retail firmware), and just like before, but it into Download wireless mode, and AP mode.
-to check if the lock is removed, you can instead first select download mode (USB) instead of wireless, and see if it says ACTIVATION LOCKFF to confirm/doublecheck
12. In Net Odin take your unzipped retail firmware files and place each file as named in filenames, in the appropriate slots for AP, CSC, and BL. Hit Start to flash.
13. Once done and rebooted, should be clean and good to go.
These steps should pretty much encapsulate the process of what these guys are doing via Teamviewer, it's the ADB steps we are missing. Hopefully there's someone out there not trying to profit off of everyone whos nice enough to help us fill that part in. Thanks.
Thanks PaulieP for the tutorial... I need this but your files on drive are 404, can you add shared link please
I just found a gear fit2 on my bike ride this morning. I'd be pretty upset if I lost this myself so I wanted to see what my options are for returning it to its owner. With technology today, I'd assume that there's gotta be some way to find the owner of a device...
Does anyone have any ideas

Guess they pulled the files but it doesn't matter, there are a lot of places to download Net Odin. For the factory firmware you can also get it from the other site (gsm-files).
I want to reiterate though that those files are useless in removing activation lock unless we have the ADB commands the unlockers use - as mentioned in the missing step 10 of the tutorial.

They do it exactly the way I outlined in the tutorial / step-by-step, that is the only way any of them that offer paid services do it.
Again, the only way we are able to do it ourselves, is if someone fills in the missing ADB commands for us that these unlockers keep hidden when they are connected via Teamviewer.
The files will not help you without this information above, there is no bypass without those ADB commands to remove the reactivation lock from a Samsung Tizen device.

I understand but dis you download a factory diagnostic firmware ? I want to try
so I might be doing the youtube activation removal process for the gear fit 2 that I found on my bike ride. so far I've read prices ranging form $30-$45. Does anyone know what's the lowest price paid for this "service"?
second. I'm not totally clear on how the process works but I assume that someone remotely connects to my machine, with the watch connected, and runs some unknown adb commands on my system. This leads me to my second question. If I pay for this service, is there any way to capture the keystrokes by using some sort of key logger?
If anyone can help me out with finding this information, I'll gladly post the adb commands for anyone to use

The process works exactly how I outlined in my step by step a few posts back.
The missing part are the ADB commands which are hidden valley the use of Echo Off in the command window .
You will need some sort of keylogger or capture that will record even keystrokes in a command prompt window with Echo Off.

Greeting,
It was heard that rooting T-01D are similar as F-05D.
I found a website regarding rooting F-05D, but I dont read Japanese, just want to know if anyone have tried the enclosed method to root T-01D?
or could anybody do the translation, since the terms become quite strange after using the online translators
The following link is ref. of rooting F-05D:
ttp://ayati.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2012/01/f-05droot-1d0b.html
(should be "http" rather than "ttp")
The source code of T-01D have been provided also, but I have no idea how to use it and root the machine:
ttp://spf.fmworld.net/oss/t-01d/data/download.html
(should be "http" rather than "ttp")
Thank you very much in advance?
Update of 4/4
the following t-01d rooting procedures is provided by Magimaster
Hello.
I am sending this pm regarding the translation for flashing the Fujitsu f-05d sold by Docomo in Japan. I cannot reply in the development section due to my low post count.
My phone is an f-05d. I do not have a t-01d but, according to the original rooting guide for the f-05d, the users are reporting success in rooting the t-01d as well.
I will not really translate for you. Rather, I will explain what I did to root my f-05d.
Here is a rough summary of the steps I followed:
For starters, you need to make sure that adb recognizes your phone when connected to the PC via USB. This means that you need to install the Android SDK and the USB driver for your t-01d by Fujitsu.
I had trouble getting adb to recognize my phone, as Window$ insisted in recognizing it as an USB drive. What I did, among other things, was:
In the phone settings, go to Applications > Development and check USB Debigging and Stay awake.
Install the Google USB Driver package, in the extras section of the Android SDK Manager.
With the phone connected to the PC, go to Window$ device manager > Universal Serial Bus Controllers and uninstall (use the delete key from your the keyboard) every mass storage device that appeared when my phone was connected. Disconnect and reconnect the usb cable.
Only until I did this final step was my phone recognized and listed as Android Phone > Android Composite ADB Interface in the device manager. If your device is not recognized, you just cannot continue. Look for help about this, or else you cannot move on with this method of rooting.
Confirm that your phone is recognized as Android Phone > Android Composite ADB Interface in the Window$ device manager. Do not continue until it is.
From the Android SDK manager, install the package android sdk platform-tools.
You need download F05Droot.zip from the original blog page your linked before. I will not link to the file directly, but you should have no problem finding it. Extract the files within into the program directory \Android\android-sdk\platform-tools (this is my path).
You need to download a replacement for the file lsm_disabler.ko that is inside the F05Droot.zip. Get it from here and extract it an replace the one inside the platform-tools directory.
By the way, this platform-tools directory is the one that has the adb executable file. Just a heads up.
You need to download su. I cannot tell you where to get it. I just do not know where I got mine from, but was easy so go for it When you have it, extract it and put it in the platform-tools directory.
Confirm that the platform-tools directory includes these files:
Code:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
su
lsm_disabler.ko
f05dsu.bat
There will be more, but these are the ones needed for this to work.
Now, get ready to root. Connect your phone to the PC.
Go to your phone settings > setting my body > step/activity counter app > pedometer use and confirm it is checked on.
In the platform-tools directory, look for f05dsu.bat and run it. A DOS window will open. This is the funny part. Unless you are doing this from a Japanese version of Window$, or from a Window$ with Japanese locale active, you will see a lot of strange symbols instead of Japanese characters... which would be the same for almost anyone anyway Regardless, you will see a prompt to Press any key to continue . . .. At this point, you do not need to do anything on your phone, other than visually checking that the check mark on the pedometer is set.
On the DOS window press any key, your will see more garbage and another prompt to press any key. This is the important part. See if you can find among all those symbols this pattern: OFF/ON. If you do see it, it means we are on track.
Now that you were able to see the OFF/ON, go to your phone and uncheck the pedometer (OFF) and check it again (ON).
In the DOS window, press any key. Your phone will reboot. The message in the DOS window says that you must wait for the phone to boot up and for Window$ to recognize your usb connection to the phone.
When/if your phone is recognized by Window$, go to the DOS window and press any key.
Again, press any key and your phone will reboot.
The DOS window has a message indicating that you must now install superuser and busybox. When your phone reboots, go to the android market and install from there when you have the time.
You can now close the DOS window because, unless there was any error, you are now rooted, my friend
From the market, install a terminal, or an app that includes a terminal. I use Rom Toolbox because it has a terminal and scripts to mount the /system as rw.
Open whatever terminal you chose and, at the $ prompt type su
If new prompt is #, type soff
You will need to run these commands every time before trying to mount /system as rw.
That is all. I hope you can root your phone.
Just a petition, post this message in the forums, as it may help others who have similar difficulties. It sure could have helped me if someone had done before me.
Have a nice one and please forgive my English.

update 15/4
On 13/4 finally i got my phone rooted
I have to run f05droot.bat instead of f05dsu.bat
After I have run the f05dsu.bat, for the steps, no error popout.
then I open the terminal type su, it reply me "permission denied".
I know it is not successful, after several run, the situation still the same.
after that have checked the contents of f05droot.bat and f05dsu.bat.
They are very similar but the f05droot.bat will push the superuser and busybox into the device at the same time.
(so I added those files in the directory \Android\android-sdk\platform-tools )
Therefore, i tried that and its works finally.
I feel really exciting at that moment.
I hope this post can help they T-01d user to root the phone.
personally I really like this phone ^~^
the su file is also important
Anyone try it? Does it work?
I have got the source code from its web
But I dont know how to use that and lead me to root the machine

Can you post a review of this device?

If you have time, can you please post a mini review of the device? I wanted to buy one too and I'm quite excited reading your review!
Thanks and more power!
Here is the mini review
Screen color is perfect except black and accurate. Speed is good in comparing with SGS2. Battery life is similar to SGS2. Form factor is better than SGS2. Camera is outstanding, thanks to the 1.3MP camera. Waterproofing design is what I like. The bad is upgrading is only possible in Japan. Digital TV is useless. Sound level is a bit low.
personally i like this phone very much especially the outlook.
my personal review is the following:
1. same as above the screen is perfect
2. the camera is also excellent
3. while you have a phone call, it change mode automatically depends on the environment
4. if i switch off all the data things, this phone can stand more than one day
(so i wont blame the battery, because I think we use too many network related stuffs)
5. i have to admit that the firmware is not quite stable (fortunately the phone can be upgrade to 4.0 after july)
for the rooting process, it seems like someone has success:
(i think that is temp root)
search "T-01D 軟解, tofu-keitai" in google (that is chinese unfortunately)

hi HaoyuWen,
i have followed the steps, when i type su in the terminal simulator, it comes out segmentation fault su, do you have any idea.
I use titanium backup to check and it said my t-01d is not rooted.
for the pedometer on/off things, do i need to press the home key and go back to the pedometer to do the switch?
Thank you very much in advance

Anybody help me please?
Hey there everyone, sadly this guide isn't working for me. Everything in the guide goes smoothly and I do exactly what is listed but after my phone reboots the final time I still have no root access. I run f05droot.bat instead of f05dsu.bat like the user said but to no avail, I even ran f05dsu.bat and still nothing.
Anyone else have trouble? Maybe it is because I am on a certain FW? I am on 2.3.5
Baseband Version C_L1_M23
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #1
and Build number is V43R41C
Just wondering as I really want root to disable all of these RAM-hogging default applications.
Bump? Anyone?
As far as I know, this rooting method cannot be done on FW V43R41C.

Aw Thanks for the notice, of course it's my firmware. Any idea about ICS? It was supposed to come out in July but yeah..
I don't know about ICS for t-01d. My sc-01d has been already upgraded to ICS, the performance is improved a lot. sh-01d also gets ICS today.

I see, I read about the T-01D (among many others) getting updated from articles like this: http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/e.../docomo-update-ics-4-0-18-models-3662812.html
I'm sure the T-01D would perform pretty awesome and maybe pre-installed software would not be as big a deal as it is now. Maybe since your SH-01D is getting updated, T-01D isn't far behind. The only thing I have to see is if I can update out of Japan.
I don't have sh-01d but galaxy tab 10.1 sc-01d instead. My t-01d also upgraded to V43R41C last month during visiting Japan. Upgrade of t-01d may not be possible outside Japan as Software Update cannot be executed without docomo sim and network.

Ok, So i had a galaxy note 2 before and the phone was way to big for me. It was pretty annoying bringing that big phone to the bar. So I purchase a S4. I did some research and tryed to use terminal emulator but it was block by the new security software that the s4 comes with... So I found this video on youtube and it actually worked. I take no credit what so every for this i just found it and would like to share it .
1) Install all Samsung Drivers
2) Put the phone into Debuging mode. Make sure you plug it into the computer and make sure you allow the computer to debug the phone. A pop up usually comes on the phone make sure to check ALways for this computer and hit agree and ok
3) Go to link deleted by VECTUS /vroot and download the root software if your using google chrome the page is easily translated.
4) Install the software to your computer and run it
5) Hit the root button and thats it
I'm on windows 8.1 and it work for me so it should work for anyone because 8.1 sucks
AGAIN: I did not figure this out I am just sharing thanks

I'll keep everyone updated on the root. The only issue I had was when I installed superusersu i had to reset my phone twice (reset after disabling Knox). But everything else seems to be working fine. I want to use the galaxy gear so i'ma try to find a rom thats based off of 4.3
P.S.
I tried to put the links up but since I haven't hit 10 post yet I cant put the links in... If an admin will allow me i can put the links up thanks

Sigh... I'll try to be politically correct here... This thread was IN NO WAY actual development... So I moved it to general... You guys can talk about vroot or whatever it is all you want (in the CORRECT threads) but DO NOT post links to it... ANYWHERE until told otherwise here at XDA... Poster there is a method to XDA's madness and your post is a prime example (like why you can't post the link) of why we have rules here... For goodness sakes please read BEFORE (I suggest starting with XDA rules) you post such things, and in the wrong place no less... I'll chalk this up to being a novice (I would also run anti virus on your pc now that you have vroot on your pc, just a friendly hint)... THREAD CLOSED
Long story short... I have a non-rooted SGH-M919 (Samsung Galaxy S4) with a completely broken screen. USB to PC transfer doesn't work, it's set to charge only, Kies doesn't see it...etc.
I have found that it's still on my wifi and on my google play account so I can install apps from the website. Does anybody know any apps I can install that will instantly let me access my files (and transfer them) without needing to do anything on the phone's side? Remote access would be great but I'd settle for file sharing even if only on the local network.
Any other ideas would be great! I need to recover pictures and contacts that aren't on google, or the SD card. New phone doesn't take the SIM.
You're probably not going to like this answer, but I recommend you simply have the screen fixed. If MTP isn't enabled and you can't enable it, and it's not rooted... There's just not much you can do.

That's not too helpful... I found a (paid) app that attempts to recover files from the phone's download mode, which I think I could get to. There's gotta be other (free) options out there if download mode has access to files. Also as I said, I'm sure there's some app out there that shares files on the local network. I just need a name if anybody has one.
Thanks for answering still... but I know there's options.

Oh! Well if you can get to recovery, you may be able to pull the files off the device or back it up entirely.
Search "adb from recovery" and see if that gets you anywhere. If you *can* use adb, you might be able use adb's "backup" command to back up whatever you have on there.

No custom recovery and no root access so I don't think adb will work for me... will it? I've confirmed USB debugging is off.

Well, I've never used adb from recovery before, but a quick search makes me think it could be possible. If you're desperate to recover the data, I' m assuming anything is worth a try.
Now most of the time, stock recovery doesn't have adb access, but if you can manage to unlock your phone, you would be able to install CWM recovery and boot to it.
However, this is unlikely, as IMO, the SGS4 is one of the most painful phones to try to unlock, especially when you don't have access to the screen.
soo.. I am trying adb right now. I did...
adb shell
cd /sdcard/DCIM/Camera
ls
and all my pictures are listed! I tried doing a pull at that point and it says device not found... which it clearly is since it's reading the info. Any idea what my next step is? mounting or something? I feel like I'm so close!
EDIT:
BOOM! got it! I read one post online that said "stay out of shell for pull" I reopened my adb window and just did "adb pull /sdcard/DCIM/Camera" and all is recovered now. Thanks and I hope this post helps somebody in the future!

Nothing special at all. It only required:
> Phone in download mode, wired to PC with USB cable
> ADB installed on PC
> Samsung USB Drivers
> Open adb command prompt, and run the pull command (after finding the exact directory using adb shell)

deanr1977 said:
I take no credit for this work I just noticed this new work over at AFTVNews & am passing on the info for everyone over here at XDA FireTv forums. The dev behind this is rbox & AFTVNews was posting & making the guides for everyone to use.
Here's all the information -
This is a new method of blocking software updates on a rooted Fire TV or Fire TV Stick. It involves setting a custom software version number in the device’s build.prop configuration file. Rbox came up with this idea and asked me to test if it works. The main advantage to this update blocking method is that it can be implemented from within TWRP custom recovery before the device boots. That means, if you factory reset (i.e., wipe data partition) a Fire TV, you can ensure the device does not update during the initial setup process. Prior to this method, you had to rely on external router or OpenDNS update blocking methods when going through the Fire TV initial setup process after factory reseting. Now you can block updates internally before starting the initial setup process. If you have a rooted device and are blocking updates using the “pm disable …” method (method 1 in my blocking guide), it’s a good idea to also follow this guide to have an additional update blocking method in place.
Important
This update blocking method MUST BE REDONE EVERY TIME YOU INSTALL A ROM. That is why it’s best to use both this method and the “pm disable …” method (method 1) from my blocking guide. This blocking method does survive a factory reset, which method 1 does not. So this method will cover you when factory resetting your device, and method 1 will cover you if you flash a new ROM but forget to re-apply this method, since method 1 survives installing a new ROM.
You can implement this update blocking procedure from within TWRP or within Fire OS. Obviously, if you are following this method to block updates during the initial setup process, you need to implement this update block from within TWRP. If your device is already setup and you are following this guide to just have an additional blocking method in place, then it’s actually simpler to implement this method from within Fire OS.
NOTE: I will be updating this guide with screenshots for each step within the next few days. So if it’s difficult to understand, you should wait for the screenshots to be added.
Guide using TWRP
Boot into TWRP Custom Recovery. Be sure you are following this guide AFTER you’re done installing a ROM. Installing a ROM will remove this blocking method, so it should be done last, just before you boot into Fire OS.
Select Mount from the TWRP main menu.
Check the box next to System and then return to the main menu by pressing the home shaped button in the bottom center.
You now need to transfer the file /system/build.prop from your Fire TV to your PC. You can do this using ADB or by copying it to a microSD card or USB drive connected to your device.
To transfer the file using ADB:
Connect to your device via ADB. You will need to be connected over ethernet and the IP of your device is displayed in the upper left of the main TWRP menu.
Transfer the file to your PC by running the command:
adb pull /system/build.prop [PATH-ON-YOUR-PC]
Be sure to replace [PATH-ON-YOUR-PC] with the directory on your PC where you want the file to be saved.
Mac example:
adb pull /system/build.prop /Users/AFTVnews/Downloads/
Windows example:
adb pull /system/build.prop C:\Users\AFTVnews\Desktop\
To transfer the file using a microSD card or USB drive:
Insert the microSD card or USB drive into your Fire TV.
Select Mount from the TWRP main menu.
If it is not already checked, check the box next to Micro SDCard or USB (depending on which one you’re using). Then return to the main TWRP menu by clicking the home shaped button in the bottom center.
Click Advanced from the TWRP main menu.
Click File Manager from the menu.
Click the system directory.
Click the build.prop file.
Click Copy File from the menu.
Click the external_sd if you’re using a micro SD card, or select usb if you’re using a USB drive.
Click the Select Current Directory button in the lower right.
Click the Swipe to Confirm button to copy the file to your external storage device.
Press the home shaped button to return to the main TWRP menu. Go back into the Mount menu and uncheck your external storage device. You can now remove your microSD card or USB drive and connect it to your PC.
Now that you have the build.prop file on your PC, open it with a plain text editor.
Find the line (near the top) that starts with ro.build.version.number=
Replace the numbers on that line with 987654321 and save the file.
Now you need to transfer the file back to your Fire TV.
To transfer the file back using ADB:
Run the command:
adb push [PATH-TO-build.prop-ON-YOUR-PC] /system/build.prop
Be sure to replace [PATH-TO-build.prop-ON-YOUR-PC] with the location on your PC where the build.prop file is stored.
Mac example:
adb push /Users/AFTVnews/Downloads/build.prop /system/build.prop
Windows example:
adb push C:\Users\AFTVnews\Desktop\build.prop /system/build.prop
To transfer the file using a microSD card or USB drive:
Insert the microSD card or USB drive into your Fire TV.
Select Mount from the TWRP main menu.
If it is not already checked, check the box next to Micro SDCard or USB (depending on which one you’re using). Then return to the main TWRP menu by clicking the home shaped button in the bottom center.
Click Advanced from the TWRP main menu.
Click File Manager from the menu.
Click the external_sd if you’re using a micro SD card, or select usb if you’re using a USB drive. (You may need to select “Up A Level” first.)
Click the build.prop file.
Click Copy File from the menu.
Click the system directory. (You may need to select “Up A Level” first.)
Click the Select Current Directory button in the lower right.
Click the Swipe to Confirm button to copy the file to your /system directory.
Press the home shaped button to return to the main TWRP menu.
That’s it. To confirm the custom version number is saved correctly, do one of the following:
If you’re connected via ADB, run the following command:
adb shell cat /system/build.prop | grep number
Or, within TWRP, go to Advanced, then to Terminal, and type the following command:
cat /system/build.prop | grep number
You should see ro.build.version.number=987654321 printed out. If you get the original version number printed out, then you did something wrong and need to repeat this guide from the beginning.
Guide using ES File Explorer within Fire OS
It will be a lot easier to follow this guide if you have a keyboard and mouse connect to your device. First, install the app ES File Explorer onto your Fire TV or Fire TV Stick from the Amazon Fire TV appstore.
Open ES File Explorer.
Scroll down the menu on the left and turn on the “Root Explorer” option under the “Tools” sub-menu.
Grant su permission if you’re asked.
Press back or escape to dismiss the popup menu.
Scroll up the menu on the left and select “Local”.
Select “Device” from the options that appear.
Scroll down and select the “system” folder.
Scroll down and select the “build.prop” file.
Select to open it with “ES Note Editor”
Select the pencil icon in the top right to edit the file.
Find the line that starts with ro.build.version.number and replace the number on that line with 987654321. It’s best to use the error keys on your remote or keyboard, instead of clicking with a mouse, to edit the number.
Click the back arrow icon in the upper left. Not the one in the upper right.
Click “Yes” when asked if you want to save.
Click the back arrow icon in the upper left again.
To verify your changes were saved, open the build.prop file again and ensure the number next to ro.build.version.number is still 987654321

Not trolling you extremely long guide but wouldnt it be a whole lot easier doing this from within Fire OS to open the build.prop from within root explorer and use the built in text editor? Just a thought, might save some people a few hours work.
---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------
Or you could even use build.prop editor apk, if you wanted to keep things very simple.
Sure rbox or AFTVNews will comment here soon but if you want a quicker reply follow the link above over to aftvnews.com & leave the comment there if you like? Like I said I'm just passing on the info this is not my guide, I'm not bothered about thanks & take no credit for this guide

I understand it has 2 parts, i just wondered why the need to drag over to a pc the build.prop to edit then push it back over, when the same thing could be done with build.prop editor apk or from within root explorers built in text editor, which would be a whole lot quicker ?
First thanx to AFTV for working @ this device and discovering another method to block updates.........
Second @ sconniyuk it was already mention that the guide has 2 parts 1 if you like to work on a PC and a keyboard (which I prefer) and another to work directly on the device ...your choice..... not mine

Theres no need to bite @ideveraux I will actually use the guide but will do it an easier method. Im not lumpimg any users with crazy hang ups and im not letting anyone try to get one over on me when all I originally did was ask why not complete the editing of the build.prop with 1 of 2 very simple methods and im getting the crap for it.
No thanks

Very childish but very very amusing.
By the time anyone gets through that essay the next fire device is out dated.
Have you got anymore jokes? That one was excellent ?
I have an issue with my M20P. I got the phone 12 days ago and everything was fine with notifications up until yesterday. As of right now, I am NOT receiving notifications for whatsapp, gmail,* FB, messanger on time. They're constantly late and usually show up only when I actually go into one of the apps, then the content shows up and syncs, I guess.
I decided to manually launch important apps such as gmail, messanger, whatsapp and I checked all 3 boxes (primary, secondary and background launch). And this morning, after some 9 hours of not touching the phone, I woke up and there were some notifications (quite a few actually) and I was happy thinking the issue's gone but I was curious why there were no messanger and gmail notifications (two of my most active apps) and* I was right... as soon as I entered gmail, the mail that I did NOT receive notification for came on top of queue and messanger literally blew with how many notifications came at once. Other apps, less important, followed with some notification.
I'm worried because I actually decided to manually launch apps I use the most and still, the issue persists, even though most of users had this sorted with manual launching...
So yes, manual launching did not fix it for me
Is there anything else I should do and what?
And also, I have found out that this has only happened thus far on WiFi, my home WiFi. Mobile data doesn't seem to be affected. Will have to confirm though. I don't know if that's an important information...
Please help. I don't wanna sell the phone because other than this bs I like it very much

That's the only fix available. You could unpack and decompile PowerGenie and see what's inside. A bunch of routines that try to identify apps that require being online, plus a bunch of hardcoded apps that are allowed to run in the background. That's Facebook and a bunch of Chinese apps. But everything else is being sent to sleep aggressively.
I tried every other setting available and still, the PowerGenie rendered any background app unusable.
You don't need to debug anything. Just turn on debugging, so you can disable PowerGenie. If you want to use your phone the way it is supposed to work, you have to get rid of PowerGenie. Using the ADB method is the only possible way I am afraid.

I appreciate the thorough report. Before I do that, I'll run some over night tests to see if this perhaps is just due to my WiFi. For example, I'll leave the phone over night with WiFi disabled and mobile data on. If I receive all the notifications at the time they should have been received - I'll know the issue is with my WiFi and I'll update it to static and use the pre-set DNSs I found online.
I'm guessing you had the same issue... did it only work for you when you disabled powergenie? Have you tried perhaps what I will - to see if it was a WiFi issue? Or did it happen to you on mobile data too?
And what I find EXTREMELY weird - I had P20 Pro like until 15 days ago, updated to EMUI 9 and it received all the notifications on time. Is this solely M20P issue?
My issue was the Blackberry mobile device management suite, my company uses. Those apps use Android for work, so a separate encrypted partition (and a different user id), open a VPN tunnel and fetch emails in the background.
I have tried every possible solution, like turning off startup control, enabling those apps to run in the background, even checked special permissions, tried different hacks, reset my device multiple times, ... . Nothing helped. The VPN tunnel was capped after a few minutes and even if I opened it manually (by starting the app), the email app was sent to sleep hence not receiving anything.
I started digging around and found a way to disable system-apps even when you cannot disable them from the Android menus. I pulled a copy and decompiled it. This PowerGenie app has routines to identify apps that have widgets, pull a lot of power, have notifications, ... . And it has a list of package names (Android apps) that are never sent to sleep. Stuff like Facebook and Chinese apps. As I started digging around I found this to be a commonly reported issue with Huawei smartphones of all flavours. I think they built that in to mask the fact that Kirin has a higher standby drain than Qualcomm and Samsung. I am just assuming that..
For me this definitely wasn't an issue with my WLAN, DNS or the likes. Now without the PowerGenie, when I turn off the flight mode in the morning, the VPN app is connecting automatically and my Blackberry Hub is pulling all emails. WhatsApp, Gmail, even third party calendar apps now show their notifications in time. So I am happy.
Did it have any influence on my battery life? no, not at all.
I did the same for a couple of colleagues having the same phone and issues and they all are very happy now.
My company even stopped supporting Huawei phones because of these issues.
I can't comment on the P20 unfortunately as this was my first Huawei. But maybe the fact that you were upgrading from Oreo to Pie was the difference here.

1) from your laptop
2) Follow the link, perform the steps in the tutorial below "How to Setup the Android Debug Bridge (ADB)".
Then scroll down to the part titled "Microsoft Windows ADB Setup". Download the file from the link and unpack to c:\adb (you will have to create the folder).
Then you connect your phone to your laptop and will see a prompt for authenticating your laptop. This is all well documented, just follow the link
3) On your laptop, start menu, run, cmd. Now you will see a console window. Just enter the commands below
Code:
c:\adb\platform-tools
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.powergenie
The reboot should obiously be done on your phone.
Sounds complicated, but is really easy.

Then you connect your phone to your laptop and will see a prompt for authenticating your laptop. This is all well documented, just follow the link
3) On your laptop, start menu, run, cmd. Now you will see a console window. Just enter the commands below
Code:
c:\adb\platform-tools
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.powergenie
The reboot should obiously be done on your phone.
Sounds complicated, but is really easy.

Hey, I finally gave in and tried to do this but I am having so much trouble doing this mate. Could you please explain like you're talking to a child? My computer skills are abysmal. I downloaded these 2 links you said on my laptop. But I am stuck at step 2. Here are the screenshot to see where I got held up lol

When I right click on "platform tools" it gives me several options such as "extract to a specified folder" and I clicked on that (I dont know if thats right) and what do I do now? I am confused with the steps provided in the link. "Extract the contents of this ZIP file into an easily accessible folder (such ad C:\adb)" I dont know where and how to do that
Then it says "Open Windows explorer and browse to where you extracted the contents of this ZIP File" what does this mean?
And 3rd step dont even get me started.
Could you by any chance upload a video of going through all that and doing everything needed up until running the command to.disable power genie? Im lost man

As much as I would like to help you, I think it would make more sense if you ask someone physically around you for help. I don't think I can make it more simple than that and explaining that in such a detail without knowing what system you have is quite complicated.... But I am sure that if you show the instructions to someone with a little bit more experience, it would be a lot simpler...
Sorry I cannot help you further...

I tried following your steps, but when I put in the command, it says " 'c:\adb\platform-tools' is not recognized as internal or external command, operable program or batch file "
