Back to stock - Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi! One question. Is there a way to go back to stock rom? I don't care about warranty, I just want to install stock 5.1 (or 6.0 if it's available). I've had a lot of issues with custom roms and I want to check if on stock rom those issues gonna last.

It's going to upgrade you to MM(6.0.1), and you will loose fastboot access....

[Q] Updated to Jelly Bean and got bugged

So, yesterday I decided to upgrade my Android version from ICS to JB. I forgot to do a factory reset first, and now I can barely use the tab. I'm guessing it's laggy and slow because it has only 200~mb of space only. Buuut, the huge problem is that I can't reboot. The button for the last comfirmation is dead. I click it, but nothing happens.
Anyone had a similar experience? The device is not rooted.

I second quazmed's info.. Something went wrong with the install.. I'm guessing you upgraded through Samsung kies? Or did you get a notification to upgrade? Either way its a messed up system and you should use Odin to reflash the firmware.
Tip. If you just hold the power button long enough, the device will reboot that's true on any Samsung device I believe..

[Q] Help Please!

So I have a VZW S3 on NE1 rooted and running xposed. I am not sure what module it was that I installed but my phone is now stuck with the SystemUI constantly crashing to the point of me being unable to use the phone. Then I, like a moron, Unrooted my phone thinking that would stop the issue. It didn't. I do have usb debugging enabled and my phone connects to the computer. Can I just boot into recovery and use the Xposed-disabler-recovery zip to fix this? will that wreck my phone since VZW is so annoying? Would that wipe my memory? And if that doesn't work what else could I do except pull everything I can off my phone and and reflash the entire thing using Odin?
Thanks a million!

OK, I see then just flash the xposed-disabled-recovery.zip using custom recovery. If you locked with only stock recovery, you may need to do a factory reset,

If it says AP Fastboot Flash Mode at the very top, you need to work with fastboot tool, not adb. They're not the same.

The lines are due to the fact that you have a lollipop bootloader with a Kit Kat ROM. Upgrade to stock 5.02 or the latest CM12 and the lines will go away, except possibly in custom recovery. No lines if running stock recovery.

If you're running Kit Kat, it will stop if you lock and unlock the phone using the power button. If you restart the phone or your boot into recovery, the lines will reappear until your lock and re-lock again.

going back to stock

I flashed TWRP and unlocked bootloader, I am on mha-l29c636b158. How can I return to completely stock? I want to receive updates via ota because I read that there is a new update to fix the touch screen not being responsive. Or is there a flashable stock zip update I can flash?

I spent that past two days rooting and flashing the one rom I could. Had to ignore some Chinese. I am USA 567B167. Got into trouble a number of times. This phone is funky compared to all the rooting I have done. I booted into erocovery, downloaded stock 2GB, wiped and was back to current stock without issue. It bootlooped if I didn't hard reset and wipe cache.

So you just booted to erecovery and from there it automatically downloaded the stock firmware?
You can return stock by use dload update.

yes. I did it twice. that is how many times I got into trouble and was the only solution. It worked great as it gives you the ability to log into wifi with a keyboard present to put in the password, then downloads the stock current rom and flashes it. You have to format data and wipe cache yourself.
Miss Wugfresh root tool. Get you out of any trouble.
It says getting package info failed in erecovery

Erecovery only work for Chinese firmware.
Use the guide above and yes you can receive ota.
I also received the same message. Getting into recovery was inconsistent for me even with TWRP. Sometimes it would do the auto downloaded and fail thing and other times it would go into TWRP. You need to get where you have three choices and pick erocovery and push the start button. This brings up the restore ability. Worked perfect on the USA model.

Completely positive. It happened by accident because I got in a bad place with HRT rom. Came out completely stock and current when no upgrade need. Then I rooted stock and somehow lost gapps including keyboard. Did it again and back to stock. All in erecovery. No other programs or files. It did a 2.5GB download, flashed in Emui and rebooted like when I bought it.

Sorry for the no noob question: I just got my mate 9 and unlocked bootloader and rooted it. Recovery is TWRP 3.0.2-2.
Where do i find this erecovery? Couldn't see any download option in TWRP and even Google didn't know that term. Could anybody please explain step by step how to revert to stock (for the only sake of getting OTAs) once the phone has unlocked bootloader and is rooted using the method from xda with modified boot.img?
Or is it even possible to take OTAs while being rooted with system read only? On my previous phone, the Asus Zenfone 2 this was possible.
Thanks a lot

Thanks for the quick answer. Let me clearify what I understood : this erecovery is available only on the PC?
So basically I wait in rooted state until I receive the next OTA, don't take it but switch off the phone.
Then connect it to the PC and boot it up by holding the volume up + power key.
Then what happens exactly?

Booting the phone while plugged and with volume up will take you to erecovery on ur phone.
There you connect to wifi and the firmware get downloaded into ur phone

Ah ok, this erecovery is still available on my phone even if I already flashed a custom recovery, right?
Then after downloading the firmware, erecovery will flash it and overwrite root and lock my bootloader again, correct?

Honor 4c upgrade from kitkat v4.4.2 to marshmallow v6.0?

Im using Huawei Honor 4c running OS v4.4.2. Now I want to update my device OS with v6.0 EMUI 4. I found one on official website but with different build number. My device build number is V100R001C185B130 but firmware on website has build number C185B503. Will there be any issue if I upgrade firmware?
Also do I have need to first upgrade from Kitkat to Lollipop and then Marshmallow, or I can directly upgrade from Kitkat to Marshmallow?
I'm wishing to upgrade official firmware availabe on Huawei website.
If the firmware is wrong the update will fail and device will stay in previous state.
Trying to go straight to Marshmallow won't cause any issues, update will fail before starting if it doesn't work.

And can I upgrade it putting in device storage, but not in external sd card?

Then it's most likely hardware issue. If you think it's software issue, you can either try to find rollback updates or install TWRP custom recovery and see if some custom rom will give your screen some life.
My wifi/BT was completely broken once and I thought it was hardware issue(factory reset and re-install didn't fixed it), but after I wiped all basic partitions in TWRP and then did stock force update, it started working.
So, what now I need to do is TWRP recovery flash?
