_BKF_NV_W Failed (Using Upgrade Download tool)



Hi/Hello Sir/Maam

I am a owner of a Cherry mobile Flare S3 mini, which has a Spreadtrum Chipset (Sc8830). My problem is that I accidentally flash a rom that causes it to be deadboot. I look on ways on how to revive it and I find this "Upgrade Download Tool' which is a flash tool for spreadtrum devices. But I can flash my stock rom which is in .pac format through this Upgrade Download Tool because I always get this error "_BKF_NV_W", I dont know what that means and I really need somehelp. Can somebody here help me with this error? I would appreciate any help that will come to you with regards to this. Thanks and I hope that you can help me.

[Q] Best way to upgrade US i-467 (AT&T) to 4.4.2



Sorry for the post, but I've looked elsewhere and searched can't seem to find the best, fastest, and easiest way to accomplish this.

1. I have an AT&T GN8.0 (SGH-i467) on 4.1.2. Build CAMF2. I'd like to upgrade to 4.4.2 The device is rooted, with locked bootloader and stock recovery. I also have an AT&T Pay-as-you-go SIM installed.

2. I'd like to end up on 4.4.2 rooted. I have never been offered the 4.4.2 upgrade on my device and I'm not sure if it's because I have a PAYG sim or it's cause I'm rooted.

3. I'm not afraid of Odin, download mode, etc., so if anyone can help me figure out the best way to get myself upgraded, I'd appreciate it. If you want to point out some posts, threads, etc., that can help, that would be great too, but I've scanned all of those and it all just gels together to where I'm not sure what's what anymore.

Thanks.

Mate 7 Upgrade to Lollipop TL10



Hi guys,

So I just noticed that a lot of us are having a hard time with Mate 7's latest firmware B324. Some people are posting questions whether it's ok to upgrade from this version or that to B324. Only a handful of people were able to upgrade to LP without problems -- and when I say without problems, people who were able to upgrade their phones without any bugs.

Anyway, I just want to share with you guys what I have experienced. And I want to show you what I did.

I did 3 downgrades, all of them were because of the bugs found in B324.

THESE ARE ONLY APPLICABLE TO TL10
1. B120SP04 -> B324 (I did not do a factory reset. I flashed it manually)
  • Smart Screenshot works. Cannot get circle motion screenshot to work.
    Scrolling is a bit laggy.
    2 separate instances of Message app running
    Motion Control is present


2. B120SP04 -> B324 (Cleared cache partition, reformatted phone. Flashed it manually)
  • Smart Screenshot doesn't work. Cannot get circle motion screenshot to work.
    Scrolling is a bit laggy.
    2 separate instances of Message app running
    Motion Control is present


3. B120SP04 -> B130 -> B324 (Factory reset. Downloaded B130 via OTA)
  • Smart Screenshot doesn't work. Cannot get circle motion screenshot to work.
    Scrolling is a bit laggy.
    2 separate instances of Message app running
    Motion Control is present


4. B120SP04 -> B125SP02 -> B324 (Factory reset after flashing B125)
  • Smart Screenshot works. Cannot get circle motion screenshot to work.
    Scrolling is a bit smoother.
    Only 1 instance of Message app running
    Motion Control is present


Download List:
B120SP04 http://consumer.huawei.com/mm/suppor...code=Jazz-TL10
B125SP02 http://consumer.huawei.com/it/suppor...x.htm?id=45462

Big thanks to wavefaster for helping me with the B125SP02 upgrade.

For people who have upgraded from different version, please do post. I'll update this post so other Mate 7 users can refer to this.

Getting "Your device is corrupt." error message after MM upgrade



I flashed my Nexus 9 (Wi-Fi) to Android 6.0 (via manually fastboot'n the image files) and now when the device starts up it gives me the error message below. Everything is stock and its not rooted. The only thing of note is that when flashing the system.img file fastboot threw a failed to allocate error message so I used mfastboot to flash system.img instead. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly.

ROM Upgrade Options for Moto G Purchased 4/2014 Running VZW Android 4.3 US



Hello, this is my first post on these forums, but I have used several threads found on here previously. A little background: I purchased my Moto G from Boost Mobile back in April of 2014, ran it for a month on the Boost network, then unlocked the bootloader, rooted it, and loaded the Verizon Android 4.3 US rom and ported it over to Page Plus, and I have been there ever since.

My question now is, I'd like to get a clean factory reset on it in hopes of restoring some performance. It lags from time to time and has developed some quirks over the year and a half. I know Android 4.3 is an old version, would I benefit from any newer ones? I've been having trouble finding the correct rom I should be using for my phone. The link I originally got the VZW 4.3 US Rom from is no longer working, and I'm not sure where else to look.

I've backed up my user apps+app data with Titanium Backup Pro, my WiFi passwords, SMS, and this time, remembered to transfer my pictures as well as the backup files themselves off my internal storage/SD card. I think I am ready to flash.

What options should I look into for a new start? TIA.



Is the windows 10 upgrade easy or should I keep waiting for windows 10 stock



I ordered a windows 10 version of this tablet over 3 weeks ago and it just isn't coming in stock where I ordered it but I see that they do have a windows 8.1 version in stock. From what I have seen upgrading to windows 10 doesn't look like a lot of fun. Can you comment on your experience and if you think I should just keep waiting for one with windows 10 already installed to come into stock.



optimus 4x hd as a upgrade from galaxy s i9000?



i have a questions for you guys. i was thinking about buying lg optimus 4x hd as an upgrade from my old galaxy s i9000 and was wondering about few things.

first, how's loudspeaker loudness? i use my phone for wake up alarm in the morning, and sometimes my galaxy can't wake me up - not loud enough. is 4x hd louder, the same, or less loud?

somewhere i read that there are lags in games that other phones from same generation doesn't have - sometimes i like to do a little gaming on phone so i'm interested is those lags sorted out with custom roms or are they still there?

i suppose that battery life is better then on my old galaxy, yes?

and last question: how's the sound quality through earphones? i've seen an review on gsmarena about bad sound quality. is that true or they just got defective unit? should i stick with my old galaxy for music, or is 4x hd ok for that?

first i was thinking of buying htc one x but i already had one, and it broke. and it doesn't have a microsd card slot which is kinda dealbreaker for me. then there is galaxy s3 which shares the same cpu as note 10.1 (older version), which i had before, and it was lagging on games pretty badly.

Help upgrade a SHV-E160S 4.0.4 IMM76D.VH29 to latest??



Hi guys!

This is my first time to post a thread in this forum, I just bought a Samsung Note with model SHV-E160S, Android Version 4.0.4 and Build# IMM76D.VH29. I know that this is a Korean Variant and I'm using it here in Philippines (I can send SMS -- Openline). I don't know if this phone is already rooted, I don't know how to check.

What I'm trying to accomplish is to upgrade this phone from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 then later on upgrade it to Android Lollipop 5.1 and I don't know how. It will be a great pleasure if someone help me or direct me on what should I do.

I'm totally new to android devices and I'm not familiar on how to upgrade,update or root an android device.

Thanks!

still no upgrade for SM P905, Samsung just lie to their customers who paid big money



still no upgrade for SM P905, Samsung just lie to their customers who paid big money for the so called FLAGSHIP tablet


Lamentable, aucune mise a jour depuis la version Android 4.4.2, pour la SM-P905 version P905XXUANA7; (3G/Wifi) un produit PRO c'est pas sérieux.
Produit payé a sa sortie à plus de 900 euro. je pense que SAMSUNG de fout de la gueule du monde. idem pour la tablette Galaxy Note 10.1 edition 2012 n'a jamais eu de mise à jour. un vraie scandale.



Shield Tablet button upgrade




Just thought I'd share an easy fix for the Shield's less than stellar buttons (my only complaint about the Shield)

Buy these



And do this:





And that's pretty much it. I'm sure the jelly type buttons would work just as well. Only used on the power button as I don't have a problem with the volume buttons.

Best Marshmallow upgrade route



Hi,

So I keep reading all the 6.0 threads and have yet to come up with an answer. I am thinking of moving to Marshmallow. I have a few things I would like to keep and would like help understanding if it is possible at this point.

Upgrade to 6.0
Get adblocking of some type(either though app or modify hosts in recovery)
Verizon tethering check
Android Pay

I know I can use an app for tether, so that is 1 of 3 taken care of. Can someone help me answer the other 2? Will I get boot errors saying my device has been tampered? There has been a whirlwind of activity, maybe I'm just getting a little anxious and the answers will come in time.

Thanks



Really weird bluetooth behavior since 6.0 upgrade



So I'm not sure if this is an issue in the Doggcatcher app or not. So here's my setup and details.

Nexus 5 completely stock 6.0. Phone has never been rooted, bought new from Play store. Bootloader is locked.
I am using an LG HBS-730 bluetooth stereo headset
I have 2 numbers on this phone, one is the carrier number (T-Mobile), the other is a Google Voice number that is managed by the most recent version of Hangouts with the Hangouts dialer.

Twice today, I have been listening to a podcast using the Doggcatcher app when an incoming call from my Google Voice number happens through Hangouts. The Doggcatcher app will pause, I will push the call answer button on the headset, and the phone call will begin but the podcast will resume playback at the same time. I can pause the podcast via the app controls on the phone and the call will continue as normal. The caller can hear the podcast as well.

Not sure if it's the app or the OS/bluetooth causing this but it's really confusing. I reported the issue with the developers of the Doggcatcher app, but I haven't posted it to Google yet.

Any ideas?



[XT1040] Can't upgrade to Lollipop



Hello there. I'm new and I have a problem upgrading to 5.0 from kitkat. I barely know anything about cellphones and my friend was helping me out before this happened.
So the background story was this:
My cellphone (Moto G LTE XT1040) was not showing the push notifications so after digging, I looked for some solutions that required a rooted cellphone, so I did it.
I unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom recovery (TWRP), then I installed SuperSU to make the cellphone root and tinkered around with the solutions to the push notifications issue, and left the cellphone untouched after.
Just this week, I recieved the upgrade to android 5.1 and before installing it I unrooted the cellphone, uninstalled SuperSu, flashed it with stock recovery and then a factory reset it. That should clean everything, but it turns out that after 2 failed tries, It doesnt install the upgrade. The cellphone shuts down and it shows that it tries to install the upgrade but the bar fills up until around 15% and a quick error message displays and it restarts normally.
Should I just install the stock rom (the 500 mb file) so all functions and settings go back to true default?

Thanks beforehand and sorry for the bad english

Nexus 7 2013 WiFi - WiFi won't turn on after Marshmallow upgrade - bad Mac Address



Just sideloaded the Mashmallow update from 5.1.1 to 6.0 (downloaded from Google) and the update seemed to go normally - most things work as normal. But the WiFi wouldn't turn on, and it's mac address reports as 02:00:00:00:00:00. That address I know was an issue in the M Preview as a fake address.

I didn't want to hard reset it but in the end relented and loaded a clean new version of 6.0 from Google. When it restarts the second thing it wants to do, after selecting a language, is start the WiFi so it can log on. Of course WiFI won't start, and I can't "skip" so it's stuck. I tried Bad_Boyz fromXDA, and then going back to 5.1.1, and now forward again to 6.0 - same result. I suspect the WiFi mac address has been cleared. I found a little help that if I shell into the tablet, and write the mac address into /persist/wifi/.macaddr I might move forward. I know how to do this, but I can't shell in with adb. I can talk over USB, and run fastboot. When I connect via USB the Nexus mounts (sort of - the storage folder isn't shown when the tablet is at the "Select WiFi network" stage of setup)

When I run "adb devices" - I can't see any, even though I can "fastboot reboot recovery" and the like. I'm sure bluetooth (mac address) is broken too, but I"ll fix that later.

Does anyone have any idea how I can encourage adb to talk, so that I can "adb shell"?
