Can't update to 127. Stuck on 125. - Huawei Mate 10 Questions & Answers

Hi all,
I'm stuck on 125 on my mate 10 Pro with optus in australia.
I'm using firmware finder to download 127 (see images attached) but am getting stuck actually applying the download. It says server unavailable.
I've tried rebooting, 4g, 2.4ghz WiFi with dns, 5ghz WiFi with dns, I just can't get it to install.
I do not want to pay for funky, but if anyone has any suggestions on how I can update that'd be great. I'm sick of optus and Australia being so far behind the rest of the world!!

Hey there, not sure if this will help - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74942104&postcount=837
All the best!

That update is for C432 devices (european no brand), while your device is a C34... it will not work.
You need to wait for an OTA update for your region (c34).

Stay to 125 if you don't have any issue.
127 sucks.........

Keep loosing 3G connectivity

Hi,
This might be specific to my provider(Airtel) or city (Bangalore, India) so please excuse me for sending to such a wide audience. But I hope its specific to phone and there is a solution.
I keep loosing my 3g connectivity on this phone. It comes and goes and has now basically become a reliability issue. Most of the times I need to deactivate the data network mode and activate it back.
Has anyone else also noticed this?
It's because where you live 3G service is unstable, same with me also, it goes back to H+.
Regards.
or maybe you should try and change your modem.
try flashing KH1 or KH3, see if it matters..
Thanks for the responses. If its related to network, I guess I don't have a choice. About flashing the ROM, I have not yet rooted the phone and lies is still on KF3, so guess I will wait for the next update and hope things will improve.
I had some similar problems here in The Netherlands... I use a provider that is 'roaming' on another provider's network (for those who are familiar: I use Telfort, which roams on the KPN network).
The current CSC I have in my phone, is a specific CSC for The Netherlands (XENKE1). However, it keeps losing 3G connectivity over time, and I also need to reset the connection to get it back working.
For now I can solve this issue by manually selecting the operator instead of automatic operator selection. You might want to try this, it worked for me at least.
Thanks gscjot. Your solution seems to have worked. In last 20 odd hours I had to manually restart the 3g service only once. So I guess this is actually not a issue with the phone itself but the operator. Thanks a lot.
It might have something to do with the modem or CSC that is in the phone. I am currently on stock 2.3.3 but I tried Darky's rom as well (on 2.3.4). As this ROM has a different CSC, I could leave the network detection on automatic. Only setback then, is that the phone shows 'r' (roaming) on my home network and I have to manually disable 3G when I go abroad.
Best regards,
Gerco

Hmm, NL-KPN here with Polish CSC (OXA, don't ask me why, bought it in NL) but I stream internet radio on my way to work in the car for 70 km without losing connection once, and that includes 2 long tunnels.
All stock KG5 with only cf-root.
Still no relief

Hi,
Can anyone on 2.3.4 comment if they see the same issue as mentioned here. I am again back to my struggling ways and starting to believe that is this a software only issue and courtesy SAMSUNG.

Honor 5X Won't Reliably Connect to Wifi

My home wifi details are saved on my phone. For some reason when I come home from work my phone refuses to automatically connect. I have to manually connect every time. Is this some strange setting on the phone or 'power saving'?
Does anyone know why this is and how I can fix it? It's unrooted KIW-L21, running 5.1.1.
I have the same problem.
What is strange is that this problem started about a week ago. The first two weeks, the 5x connected automatically, like all other devices that we have. The Honor 5x is the only device that has this problem.
Having exactly the same problem.
That is strange. I have not seen this moving between work and home wifi. Always connects.
It is the same with my KIW-L21. I attached a screenshot where the first wifi should connect automatically. Underneath the name of the wifi it says: "No internet connection possible, deactivated".
Then I need to connect manually. That will work fine but is not so practicable.
I have been having the same problem for just over a week, I got back from work today and it decided to connect automagically again. In trying to fix this I unchecked a box in advanced wifi options which said check for internet access. It didn't appear to work at the time but might be worth giving it a go.

Well no combination of settngs seemed to have fixed it so far. I'm going to try a static IP and see if that makes any difference.
If any of you have root, the wifi config files are located in: /data/misc/wifi/wpasuplicant.conf. You might find something interesting.
Static IP makes no difference. The phone is close to being returned right now. Massive shame as it's good other than this.

I had the same issue of it not always reconnecting to my home wifi when I came back in range, but so far the above method seems to have worked for me (although only one day of testing so far).
can anybody tell me where is hidden wifi add option is ?
Not sure this Google Connectivity Services help but I have it on all my devices.

I have the same problem.
I have found out that with the option "check for internet access" off (under Settings -> Wifi -> Menu -> Advanced Settings) it still won't work, but it will automatically connect to Wifi when the screen is turned off and on again. At least it's quicker than having to connect manually, but still not a satisfying solution.
My model number is also KIW-L21.
UPDATE: Removing the home network and saving it again (with the exact same settings as before) apparently solve the issue. Now it is autoconnecting when the toggle is switched to on.

I really can't understand why there are apps compatible with Honor 5X in the United States (KIW-L24) and not compatible with the same device in Europe (KIW-L21). As far as I know, the main difference is the price (more expensive in Europe, around 268$).

I had the exact same issue. This happened on multiple wifi networks. Would not automatically connect to wifi, showed disabled, I would manually hit connect again. Several times a day it would just disco. I rooted and tried the 140 update, same thing. When I installed the CM12 ROM it didn't even detect my wireless network!! Weird. I changed the channel on my home wifi and it immediately saw the network. Something with the wifi channel, security, and EMUI?? Working great now though for five days.

Wifi constantly dropping on X829

Hey guys,
I tried to find something about my problem, but there's only on thread here with a similar problem without any informations, so I decided to create a new one.
I'm sorry if there's already a solution and I was too dump to find it... If there's one, I'd be very thankful for a link.
So.... I own a X829 6/128 with a German SIM and it works very fine for me. After trying different ROM's I'm now at RR 5.8.5 @ 7.1.2 and it's really good.
But it doesn't matter which ROM I flash, I'm tortured by constantly wifi-drops.... In the meanwhile I even changed the router and repeater at home to different devices, played with the 2.4- and 5-GHz-bands and channels, and it doesn't matter what I choose (2.4/5 on the router or 2.4/5 on the repeater): The phone is constantly dropping the wifi.
Sometimes it's working for 30 minutes, sometimes it's dropping the connection after 5-10 seconds... I flashed different radio's, but no change.
It doesn't matter if I'm doing something "online" or if the phone's just lying on the table.
Thanks alot in advance!
Lot's of greetings an Merry Christmas!

Same phone, same problem.
But to be honest - i just realized when i read your post ... to me its like 99% its working and sometimes not then its in 3g 4g network. I usually do not even realize
Hey there,
nah, for me it's like vice versa. Mostly I can't even do a speedtest without the connection dropping...
Loading news? I have to try several times...
Download something? Hahaha, forget it!
Since the X829 has no B20 I really need Wifi at home, cause here's only Edge available besides LTE.
I'm really out of ideas.
Yesterday I found a thread about a Samsung phone with some similar problems, where the solution was diable the localisation via Wifi/Bluetooth, so I changed mine to GPS only, and it was working like a charm - at first.
After like 30-40 min. the same error occurred again.
Btw:
Here's the Hardware I have tried at home:
- Telekom Speedport Smart Router (Huawai) - replaced
- Telekom Speedport W925V (Arcadyan) - current
- TP-Link RE200 AC750 Repeater - replaced
- Netgear EX6150 AC1200 Repeater - current
As I said... I tried every configuration with a/b/g/n... Different channels instead of automatic...
It's really annoying.
Thanks alot for your help, but now go to you family y'all!
It's Christmas! This has time until after the holidays!

Soooooo..... You haven't really mentioned trying it elsewhere. Have the same problem at a different location? Do you have multiple devices using the WiFi? I had a similar problem when I bought a smart TV, while streaming Netflix router "kicked" off the other devices.

Yes. I haven't any Wifi's to try nearby. And when I connected so one in a restaurant for example, I haven't watched it all the time.
In the meanwhile I disabled the WiFi of the Router. I connected the repeater via cable and set it up as AP. No changes (the router can't drop a device which is not directly connected to it, right?). Also I gave the phone a static IP outside the DHCP-range, to make sure the router (DHCP server) can't kick me via releasing the IP.
(I've tried that because we use TV-over-IP "Telekom Entertain"... Usually the router uses WMM/QoS to make sure the bandwidth is always enough for TV Unfornately I can't change that, so I decided to set up the repeater as AP)
No real changes. Sometimes (like now) it's working like a charm. Sometimes it's dropping like every 10 seconds.
PS:
While I wrote this there was only one drop. ^^

Hmmm. I don't have that much experience with routers. But I can suggest 2 ideas.
At some point, at a different location, confirm its your device with the problem.
Second is try a VPN from your max.
Seems like a simple solution your missing. Assuming your phone is in working order, software solid, just WiFi dropping out sounds crazy. Especially if there hasn't been any other instances around the forum.
Good luck, sorry I haven't really helped.
Hello, I have the same problem as you, the only solution I found was to install the Rom CUOCO 92 28s, after installing, you go into WIFI, then advanced settings, look for WIFI frequency band, select "use only 2.4GHz band So, after that normal wifi works, unfortunately you're going to have to go back to Android 6.0.1, but your wifi will work

Still thanks for your replies and help thinking!
A VPN would also drop (it's not the transfer itself, the whole connection is gone), I think. And I noticed this problem first since I flashed an Android 7/N-ROM, as itsbianchi said.

Thanks alot! But I don't really wanna go a step backwards. I hope there's a stable/official 8/O-ROM soon to try. And I still can't figure out why they put away the possibility to manage your networks/settings on your own. -.-
But if there's no other option, I'll give it a try. Thank you!

Some update
I found in the dev-settings an option for a "more agressive handover" to mobile network.
When my understanding is correct it should handover to mobile network ealier, if the wifi-signal is weak. I just activated that setting, to see if the the connection is lost more often (because I thought that maybe the threshold of that setting is too high -> switching between my Wifi and Mobile all the time). But it seems that it's more stable now... I dunno why. I just checked it like an hour ago. Maybe there's no change, since sometimes the connection is pretty stable and sometimes it's dropping all the time. I'll just try it for the next hours/days...
Btw:
I was in a restaurant with an open wifi two days ago: Not one drop while I was there (I checked the connection as often as I could).
Maybe some food for thoughts for you guys...
Friend, enter the LAN settings of your router, but in the protocol of IPV6, and disable the assignment of IPV6, I was col this same problem.

I have similar problems with wifi. Wifi connection does not drop but I can't download large files or I can't install apps from Google Play store larger than 5 MB. Download process stops after several megabytes. I tried so many ROMs including Cuoco92's 23S and I tried "use only 2.4GHz band" setting in 23S but I haven't tried Cuoco92's 28S. Because I read a lot of bad comments about Cuoco's 28S. Do you think should I try Cuoco's 28S?
Or is it a hardware problem?

Error: LOWI-7.7.2.5.a [LOWIUtils] channelBandToFreq: Invalid band, channel = 1,0

Sony xperia x compact. Rom is sony rom. Flashed with UK firmware so the fingerprint scanner works. Rooted. A few of the bloat apps disabled.
Android 7.1.1 Build 34.3.A.0.206
Finally got a AC/N router. The phone will not connect to either AC or N. It simply falls back to G. ( 5ghz we're talking about) I get the error in the title , plust there will also be a message from WifiQualifiedNetworkSelector that shows that network is blacklisted. The network will then show as disabled when you view available wifi networks.
Router is a Netgear R7000 flashed with ddwrt. I saw a post about region so I changed the region to Europe and still no. Tried to set the channel by hand as per another post, that didn't work either.
I googled that error and get nothing. What is LOWI? What is keeping this from connecting?
Thank you.

Question Wifi 6E on XQ-CT72 (TW Version)

Hi there, got myself a TW version X1 iv. Ive found out that it wasn't able to see Wifi 6E (6Ghz) hotspots. I read that TW hasn't adopted Wifi 6E so TW firmware probably has that disabled.
Question: can anyone confirm whether they can see Wifi 6E hotspots on HK / SEA firmware? Can I cross flash other firmwares under the same XQ-CT72 SKU?
Many thanks.
Also: is it something that can be bypassed without having to flash firmware?
Edit: went ahead and flashed HK and then USA firmware, neither worked, still couldn't see Wifi 6E network. Anyone have any luck with this & does the router config matter?

Ct 62 no special config on router my wifi 6e ap is a ubiquity uap 6 enterprise
Hello all,
I was able to figure this out. Here's a copy of my Reddit post:
After importing the Sony Xperia 1 IV "Gaming Edition" from Taiwan to the US for the additional 4GB of RAM (16GB vs 12GB) and ability to unlock the bootloader (the US model, XQ-CT62, does not allow bootloader unlocking), I discovered that my XQ-CT72 would not see my 6GHz network, only my 2.4/5GHz networks. After installing Termux and verifying that 6GHz was indeed disabled (iw list) despite my country code being set to the US already (iw reg get country), I attempted to flash XQ-CT62's modem firmware, which succeeded but still did not enable WiFi 6e. Comparing the firmwares with WinMerge, I found that the Taiwan and USA firmwares have different props set for several RF-related values in /oem/etc/customization/config.prop.
I wrote a short script to override the relevant props on the Taiwan firmware with the props from the US firmware and dropped it in /data/adb/post-fs-data.d (making sure the script was set to executable, i.e. chmod +x) to ensure Magisk would run it before most of Android had been started, and after that was able to see and connect to 6GHz networks successfully:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
resetprop -n ro.vendor.sony.wlan.6e_cc_list US
resetprop -n ro.vendor.product.rf.id PDX223-A2US
resetprop -n ro.oem_ant_switch_index_table 0,0,2,0,0,2,2,0,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,0,0,2,0,0,2,2,0,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,0,0,2,0,0,2,2,0,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,0,0,2,0,0,2,2,0,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2
resetprop -n ro.oem_sar_back_off_index_table 1,2,8,1,6,3,8,1,5,2,8,1,5,2,8,1,1,2,8,1,6,3,8,1,5,2,8,1,5,2,8,1
Note: I tested setting only resetprop -n ro.vendor.sony.wlan.6e_cc_list US without overriding the RF ID with ro.vendor.product.rf.id PDX223-A2US and this did not work unfortunately. ro.oem_ant_switch_index_table and ro.oem_sar_back_off_index_table are probably not strictly required, but since XQ-CT72 (TW) is not FCC-certified, I figured it would be best to adjust the antenna parameters to match the FCC-certified XQ-CT62 (US) just in case.
Reporting back - huge kudos to #8 @noellemercer 's post confirming it is indeed possible to bypass OS lvl restrictions.
I tried out his script but unfortunately still couldn't see WIFI 6E networks. iw reg get returns "unset" countries. In his reddit post he mentioned he was on US mobile network which was infeasible for me ATM, sadly.
I digged further and found out there's another property tied to wifi country code. I made change to that on top of the ones above and voila, all good!
You just need to add one more line to above:
resetprop -n ro.boot.wificountrycode US
Good luck!
Update - welp, I had got ahead of myself...
So after the fix I was able to see & connect to my 6Ghz network. But it remained unusable 99% of the time. My phone might be able to load a webpage or two before the connection would be automatically dropped. Can't even load up the speed test webpage lol!
I guess for me there's more to just setting a flag or two. I tried flashing CT62's modem firmware and it brought no improvements. iw outputs look alright though. @noellemercer how's your speed? Is your 6Ghz hotspot on 160mhz? I am wondering where else I should look at. Maybe all the props?

I'm using an Ubiquiti gateway/router and an ASUS GT-AXE11000 in AP-only mode running asuswrt-merlin 388.1. Channel width is set to 160MHz. I don't have issues with dropouts so I'm not sure what the cause could be unfortunately; I get about 700-900mbps down on speed tests which is about the same as my Pixel 6 Pro (my WAN is 2gbps up/1gbps down).
The only thing I can think of in your case is to check if something is resetting the US country code prop after your network drops, as that's the only client-side (i.e. the phone itself) difference between our setups.
Can confirm that after many tweaks 6Ghz wifi is working reliably. Interestingly webpages do not load as swiftly compared to 5Ghz but disconnects no longer happen. I did have to reconfigure my wireless router, which seemed to be the main culprit. Going forward I'll probably just cross flash USA firmware.
Update 5/12/2023 - can confirm it's still working like a charm after flashing multiple builds. I believe initially the problem lay more with my router (GT-11000AXE). I did a factory reset and format on USB drive, reflashed Merlin and reinstalled scripts that I used, no more drops. The above script is still needed (as Google account etc. might automatically change region) but yes you don't necessarily have to remain on US firmware (I did as I don't plan on using cellular in the near future - even if I do I'll just use basic telephony services).
