[Q] What kernel and WebOS ver. Are you using?.

This thread is for see What Kernel and WebOS version are you using, how buggy is it.
I use WebOS ver. 2.1.0. And I'm using SR71 Blackbird Kernel. I have to make resets every 2/3 days, and sometimes when i'm playing music it gets freeze!.

Now let's see your WebOS Device

I've got webOS 1.4.5. I don't know what kernel, default one for my Pre- I guess. I reset only to swap to my spare battery, not because of freezes. I think that's usually once a week, although it has been every day at times of heavy usage.

I dont need to reset, but i do once a week just habit.
Would like to try 2.0, but seems like a big hassle for very little improvement.

Nice =). My mom's Pre plus, she do a reset like monthly. And you should try WebOS 2.x.x, but well is your selection , Have a nice day.

Thanks
I would like to try 2.x.x but, according to internals, my pre + would still be registered as a 1.4.5 so i couldnt download apps for 2.x.x unless they were homebrew. I just read an article today about HP locking out palm devices upgraded to 2.x.x from accessing the cloud, back up, restore and other functions. I think i will wait for the pre3.
I will be getting a TP in the next month. very excited.

[Cancelling Docomo paid apps like NOTTV for the SC-04E]
I just figured out how to cancel NOTTV -
Just so you know - when you sign up for Docomo service they throw anywhere from 5-10 apps that they you have to add in order for the contract to go into effect or something like that.
Anyways, a day or two after you sign your contract, you can cancel all of the apps without any problem and never have to worry about them again. Of course, with the exception of NOTTV. You actually have to go into dMenu (Docomo menu) to start this cancellation process.
Here are the instructions in Japanese if you understand them -
Japanese instructions to turn off/cancel NOTTV
The English instructions are as follows:
First open the above link as that page actually has images that I'm not going to post here that show the procedure.
Just go to this link - on your phone using the stock browser. http://sp.nottv.jp/support/help/#procedure or Click here
Once on that page you will see the following Japanese text 各種手続きについて - it's the 2nd Pink heading down the page.
Near the bottom of that you will see the following Japanese text NOTTVの解約方法について教えてほしい。(How to cancel NOTTV is basically what it says.) then you will see a list of instructions open up and near the bottom of those instructions there will be a link in Japanese text that says 2. NOTTVスマートフォンサイトからこちらから. Click that link on your phone - the link won't work here.
Then when the next page opens on the bottom will be a black button - click it.
Then a page with two black buttons on it will appear. Click the top one that says in Japanese text ドコモケータイ払い.
This will take you to your docomo login page on which you must login your phone number and docomo password.
Then it will take you to the payment page and you will see a transaction number at the top and a big black button that says in Japanese text 解約.
Once you click that you will be cancelled. It will ask you to fill out some survey. If my English steps do not work please have a Japanese friend walk you through the other site's walk-through.
Hope this helps anyone who needed it.
A little more info if you have trouble is here.

[Root guide for Docomo Samsung Galaxy S4 SC-04E]
Everyone's favorite topic.
There are a few members working on this now.
Some have used other methods that have worked but nothing foolproof that always works has been done yet.
If you have the MF1 update and want to root then use the gs4eXT method posted further down into this forum.
It does appear that you can also root using that method with the MF2 update but it is a very limited root. Titanium Backup won't work, you can't flash any other ROMs, maybe other things too. So for me, rooting at this time is not yet an option.
I'm sure this will change soon. Somebody will figure something out.
[ML2 update root guide]
coming soon...
[MF2 update root guide]
I'm on MF2. Root works. Titanium Backup works.
Here are the exact steps that I took:
1. Restore factory image (MF2 in my case)
2. Install Android Terminal Emulator.
3. Install GS4eXT (paid)
4. Opened Android Terminal Emulator. Left it at that.
5. Hit menu, then went to open GS4eXT
6. f**k the device. Yes. Yes.
7. When the process finished, my last message was only "sorry too much. [email protected]:/$"
My phone did NOT display "Please reboot manualy operation."
8. I pressed the power button, and clicked on Restart.
9. System restarted, and then a message popped up in Japanese asking if I wanted to install Superuser. Yes. Open.
10. Back to the Play Store, I then installed Super SU. Open. Super SU will say that there are other programs using root access, and will ask to uninstall those other programs. Hit Cancel.
11. Installed Titanium Backup.
Notice: Titanium was granted root via SU via Superuser. So Superuser is granting Super SU root. And in turn, Super SU granted Titanium root. Sounds weird, but you'll see what I mean.
Test Conducted: Installed a backed up app and data from my last phone. Success! All my saved files were included in the restoration process.
I restarted my phone. It booted as normal.
Opened my restored app. Everything worked as normal.
Opened up Titanium, but had it was looking for root access. I had to open Super SU back up again. After that, I went back to Titanium, and root access was granted once again.
After I uninstall all my bloatware, I'm going to try updating the phone and see if it keeps root (or see if I can root again after the update).
Thanks a million!
Another root guide from cezeff
Flashed the CM 4.4.1 and having no problems...cam and video working fine...one thing i found out is to be on the super safe side be sure to flash in order...
1. be rooted on either a rooted stock or another aosp rom
2. ensure you have the cwm 6.0.4.5 flashed as your recovery....its easy, just flash the tar via Odin
3. download and copy the 4.3 slimbean, CM11 and/or AOSP 4.4.2 to and sd card and place in your phone...just do this before you boot into recovery.
4. i advise downloading the gapps provided by pa and copy that you your sc card too....you can choose from either the full, core or bare minimal gapps...plus you can flash the cam separate too with photosphere... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 theres the link
5.boot into recovery, do a full wipe
6. install 4.3 Slim Bean
7. wipe again... then install either CM11 or AOSP, then flash the gapp package
8. wipe cache, and davilk then reboot
9. let sit for 10 minutes reboot
i had flashed the 4.4.2 but ran into reboot problems...probably because i jumped ahead and didnt flash in order....this is just a rough guide....

SeeYou has released a stable 4.4.2 CM 11.0 ROM. I have flashed it and have experienced no issues.

Thanks for starting this.
Ordered mine last week too, looking forward to Thursday when I pick it up - currently on the SC-02C.
As for root, the Motochopper exploit should work I guess...

SC-04E has only Felica secure element internally, but is being supplied with an NFC-A secure element on the (pink) SIM card.
This is sneaky shibari lock-in on Docomo's part - it forces you to keep your Docomo SIM in when overseas if you want to do contactless payment on the Mastercard NFC-A terminals. Well played Docomo, well played...
I'm still on the wall on whether or not to get it, feels uncomfortable in my hands (too wide) and the SO-04E Xperia A (which will be sold elsewhere as the ZR) feels so much better.

Every phone feels different though with a case on it as well. It feels the same to me as my gs3 ,so no complaints from me.

S3 without case is same width as my S2 with case, which already feels too big for my hand.

Got it!
Ok, picked it up this morning. :good:
Very nice, its a touch bigger but curved enough to not feel too big.
Will set it up tonight. Pulled the SIM out and stuck it back in the S2 for now (used a 90YEN Sim Card adapter to make it fit) good to know that even after changing to the contract to use the Xi (LTE) network it still works fine in the S2 - Though now I have a 3GB monthly limit on data... (chose the 3GB lite plan for now)

Cool! Hopefully we get a root soon. Yeah I switched to the 3gb data plan a while back since I barely even use 1 gb a month. Wish they had smaller plans ,but owell.

Anyone tried the unlock method from here (through service menu)? Success or fail?

So I picked mine up today. The amount of bloat on the thing annoys me quite a bit. I can't wait for the bootloader to be cracked wide open so I can flash to stock.
I have a simple use question though that I'm a little confused on. I've got Mobile Suica installed now and I've never used it before, since my last phone was a S2. Do I have to have an app running when I touch it to the readers? Does the Reader/Writer, P2P setting need to be turned on to use it?

DoCoMo Unlimited Plan not Unlimited [Fix]
OK I got my phone today, now what?
I hate the new data plans, just setting up my phone used 500mb in data alone today.
So I found a solution that works without rooting the phone to help us former "unlimited-plan" users still think we are on an unlimited plan.
It's super easy but, unfortunately, not free. Most of the Android users I know already know about this app.
Basically, I set it to automatically turn on the WiFi and connect to your home network without using GPS. And also when you leave home it shuts WiFi off and puts you back on data.
One you learn how to use it for one location, you'll start doing it for every location you go to that has a free WiFi connection (i.e. - Starbucks, etc.)
If anyone gets the app or already has it, let me know and I'll post further instructions
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
But well worth the $2.99.

#confirmed
CF autoroot for i9505 works, i just did it, now to remove this bloat
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219803
looks like you will lose NFC and stock recoveryfunctions though. SU wont update the binary but apps requiring root access like TiBu read as rooted. will update with more info after more playing if i find out anything else.
edit: Well seems more not rooted than rooted. while some apps function many do not or only work partially. guess ill wait around for the stock image and restore unless somone finds something out before then

Another good alternative is to use NFC tags to trigger things like that.

anyone pull a stock image of the ROM yet?
@SQ3.0dotJP the flashing process went just fine but when I go into try to use SU and update the binary, it fails to update and Root checker shows my device is not rooted....were you able to get yours fully rooted?....we should send a message in the Auto-Root form to try and be sure we get officially supported....

i just tried to update the binary and got the same error, weird because TB works and other apps requiring root..so far. did you mail the dev for CF, looks like a partial root if anything. but I havent lost any functionality aside from the normal osaifu and 1seg like with the GS3. i wont attempt a recovery install until the stock image gets posted on sammobile

Are you asking for a sub forum thread in here about rooting?

Yes it is 703L, after OTA to B029 all GAPPS and multilanguage working perfect There is only one function stuck to Chinese "Data Traffic Management" on settings it does not show my real data provider but only Chinese towns and Providers although it is displaying the real data consumed.
After about 10 days of intensive use i am happy choosing P8 Max it is working very good special in multi tasking not even one failure (need to reboot or shut down).....

Mate 9 Pro Daydream

I've updated my L29-c636 to the latest 181 version. I see that daydream vr been installed, so I bought the Daydream View headset. Went through the setup process, only to find that I get a black screen when I'm told to put the phone in the vr headset. Daydream seems to be working partially as I can hear some birds from the phone's speakers. I can increase or decrease the volume using the remotre, and there is an x and settings cog in either of the upper corners. Other than that though, nothing, nada: black screen only.
Anyone else have a similar experience?

I have LON-L29C721 and no update available Anybody else ?

Try firmware finder, it seems like 181 is authenticated.

I used firmware finder app to upgrade to LON-L29C636B181 (still on locked bootloader), which worked fine. No Daydream VR controller yet, so couldn't get past the controller pairing menu.

Cool, if you do get one, see if you can view something. Btw, I read someone had used another phone to simulate the controller, not sure if it's genuinely possible though.

how did you get 181 to download with firmware finder?
I only see 2 OTA's for 181, not a full file..
thanks

With firmware finder proxy. Selected the ota, changed the proxy settings as the app dictates and used the phone's menu to search for an update. As soon as it started downloading, I removed the proxy settings.

thanks; I didn't think of switching to the "system" update option once it started to download, but I did, and now its downloaded it and it installed B181 perfectly!..thanks again:good::good::good:

LON-C636 here. I tried both OTA updates on Firmware Finder and them both gave me "Authentication failed" dialog
Seems that it's rolling out in phases again

Same here... and its annoying to have to keep trying it and fail - chewing up heaps of bandwidth... i guess im just impatient lol. My FF shows 3 different updates.. one that says "FullOTA-MF" which is 2.353gb and then two smaller ones (509mb and 615mb) which just say "OTA-MF".. its strange they have 2 differing smaller ones.. either way I have tried all 3 of these, and none work yet.

Called Huawei UK support and they said that all updates including the daydream support rols out in CHINA followed by USA, followed by Western Europe and then all others. There can be up to 7 days delay between regions. Ah well..

Ok, i tested LON-L29C636B181 with Daydream view and saw the same result as drdino, aka: everything looks good up to the point when it asks to insert the phone into the viewer. The background just stays black and does not start to show the video. Foreground is just the white separator bar, X and settings icon.
If i quickly switch off/on the phone, then i will see a quick blink of the VR video, so this seems to be some rendering problem.
Not sure what i could still do myself - except factory reset. But i do not dare because right now i do depend a lot on the phone (no good backup phone at the moment).
Given how i have an overseas model, i have not yet found a way to effectively complain to Huawei. I had contacted Huawei on the US once about the mate 9 pro (different issue), but they refused politely given how they do not sell it.
I did open a case with google though, not sure if that helps. Daydream app -> Settings (VR Settings) -> Help -> Contact Us -> Call
Google promised to send me an email about the case i opened with them, but i have not yet received any email. Maybe others here with the same problem on the Mate 9 Pro could also call up google, maybe someone will succeed bringing this problem to someones attention.

Same here, I chatted with Google for about an hour, and reached the same result, i.e. they will email me.
I think it's a display rendering issue, as I can see the momentary flicker as well.
An additional issue that I discovered is that the phone's nfc reader is on top, above the camera, whereas the headset's nfc tag is in the middle of the flap. For what it's worth, I copied an nfc tag and stuck it on the leftmost side of the flap but got the same result.
To replicate the flicker, you can try sticking the phone on top of the headset's nfc tag, it's reproducible maybe 4/10 times.

I am not even aware of any official USA or north-america versions of Mate 9 Pro or Mate 9 Porsche. All i can see are just overseas versions. This article https://www.androidheadlines.com/2017/03/huaweis-mate-9-pro-finally-supports-daydream.html also claims "Google also reiterates that the Mate 9 Pro and the Mate 9 Porsche Design are both available in the U.S., the UK, Germany, Australia, and Canada". WTF ?!

An additional issue that I discovered is that the phone's nfc reader is on top, above the camera, whereas the headset's nfc tag is in the middle of the flap. For what it's worth, I copied an nfc tag and stuck it on the leftmost side of the flap but got the same result.

Interesting. I did not even knew that the VR viewer has an NFC chip . Yeah, playing around with it, the reader in the mate 9 pro can not read it when it is inside the viewer, but only when you match up the locations of the reader and the chip. Funny.

I am not even aware of any official USA or north-america versions of Mate 9 Pro or Mate 9 Porsche. All i can see are just overseas versions. This article https://www.androidheadlines.com/2017/03/huaweis-mate-9-pro-finally-supports-daydream.html also claims "Google also reiterates that the Mate 9 Pro and the Mate 9 Porsche Design are both available in the U.S., the UK, Germany, Australia, and Canada". WTF ?!

LOL think that article is misinformed.. we definitely do NOT have the Mate 9 Pro for sale here in Australia, and when people asked on the Official Twitter / Facebook pages, Huawei AU responded to say it would not be sold. The Porsche Design however, did make a minor appearance here in Australia - Huawei AU did a Auction to raise funds for a charity, in which case they auctioned off 1 (yes ONE) "Limited Edition" Porsche Design Mate 9. We only have the Mate 9 as officially sold here in AU. Believe the same in USA? (or possibly you get the PD there in USA too?)

On Firmware Finder's website I found LON-L29C721B180 where the changelog says that "This update adds Daydream and optimizes system performance and stability." Not sure if this version is authenticated yet, however.

LON-L29C721B180 is for PD.
Believe some users have mentioned on PD forums they have managed to install it, and some others failed to install (auth failed).. But as per posts above the Daydream maybe not work and gets black screen when they try to add the device into the VR headset - would think the PD would have the same issue...

Called Huawei UK support and they said that all updates including the daydream support rols out in CHINA followed by USA, followed by Western Europe and then all others. There can be up to 7 days delay between regions. Ah well..

It's very interesting to see people just get this issue after B181 OTA. I am using LON-AL00C00B175 and found this issue since updated. So it's like couple weeks ago when Google hasn't announced M9P is daydream ready. Also, my friend in Huawei dev team told me Chinese version of M9P wouldn't get daydream support soon. So let's wait and see.

It was B181 that brought daydream support to the International Mate 9 Pro.

FYI - I got $10 for an oldddddd Fire 7 trade-in AND a $20 coupon on a new tablet. So new Fire 10 could be as low as $120.

And if you wait a month till Black Fri, it will be $100!

I got one. LauncherHijacker works (use the renamed one), however it seems that Amazon's new battery system kills it after a while. I use FNG and set a swipe up to take me to nova launcher rather home. Widgets can be enabled without any work arounds. Google Play services can be sideloaded. Google Assistant can replace Alexa natively via developer settings.

I've had limited success with the renamed LauncherHijacker. My bluetooth keyboard stops working when it's enabled and it seems a little off when hitting the home button. Whenever I hit mine, it goes to the normal fire launcher, sits for a few seconds then launches nova. Maybe lag or if it's having to cold start the launcher?
Installed the latest google play packages. Also installed Youtube Vanced. Had to use not the newest release but the second newest release. Whenever installing MicroG w/ Youtube Vanced, whenever it tries to interact w/ the google accounts it crashed almost immediately. Installing the previous version I got everything working.

Yeah I had the issues with volume and such, so I got rid of it. For microG, you need to disable the battery optimizing from settings.

Loading greatness....
I can't wait for TWRP to come out for this tablet. I personally haven't bought one yet until TWRP Recovery is out. I also am waiting for Black Friday and Cyber Monday for this tablet to go on sale, then I'll buy one and wait for @Kaijones23 and @ggow to release a LineageOS.

@k4y0z and @xyz` have gone off the grid recently. Did the guys burn out??? The last time I pm'ed @xyz` , he was not interested in donations, and neither he had it set up. Has anything changed?
I might get the new HD10 on sale for Black Friday, and keep it in storage until root (if ever).The new HD10 has decent specs overall (1080p screen and cpu) for $100 (BF price!!!), but low on RAM.
What else can you get for $100 these days? For example, Dragon Touch K10 Tablet (10") is currently at $85 (usually $100), stock Android 9, BUT !!! 720p screen Easy MTK root, and no issues making it stick with the Magisk hack by @diplomatic.
I guess, the new HD10 with all its pros and cons is either for Amazon loyalists, or committed renegades, like most of us here

I indeed do not accept donations (I don't know what's up with this thread), and I don't plan on working on this device due to lack of time and interest.

I have moved on to the Onn product line distributed by Walmart. Still enjoy my older Amazon gizmos but probably won't be adding any Fire branded devices to portfolio anytime soon.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/wa...-to-unlock-root-xposed-onn-8-walmart-t3945284
BTW the donation thing turned sour after folks hijacked the original intent for their own selfish interests.

So this thread is basically something implying that people will help without consent of the Developers mentioned. How about asking for help, if you ( @AmznUser444 Dev ) don't have anything to contribute please don't volunteer others to help without their consent. What are your credentials @AmznUser444 Dev ? You seem to post alot of random BS that could brick peoples devices. Are you trying to help or what? This is basically people volunteering their free time to experiment and free us from vendors. Respect the process.... Sorry to complain, but request help and get approval. This is what stops progress.

Has anyone tried the OEM bootloader unlock in developers options to see it it actually unlocks it?
Nevermind just tried. It allows you to hit it, gives you warnings then just turns itself off. Sorry if this has already been tried and discussed.

@k4y0z, are you stared to create a bootloader exploit and TWRP image for Fire HD10 2019.

At what point did @k4y0z commit to doing this? Must have missed the memo.

Can Fire HD 10's bootloader will be cracked when OEM unlock is enabled.
Connect your Fire tablet to PC (USB debugging in developer options is enabled.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
//Now in fastboot mode. Type in terminal on your PC.
fastboot oem unlock

When attempting to reboot bootloader it just says =>fast boot mode on the screen. In terminal it says <waiting for device>
Every time adb reboot bootloader is done it says the device not recognized. I have driver installed.

No - this won't work (regardless of the fastboot connectivity/driver problem you are experiencing). Pay no attention to the rubbish posted earlier in this thread and elsewhere; dude is clueless.

Hold down the power button + volume down to go to recovery mode and select Reboot to bootloader.
Just try to use another USB-C cable with full size USB 3.0 or 3.1
