Charles method doesn't work for me [ B380 update ] - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

I followed the guide, and it just doesn't work for me. Could someone please make guide on how to do this, or explain it to me, because I have no clue why it doesn't work...
And oh yea, I'm on b131 if that means something to you....

You need to be more specific in the description of what you do and when it doesn't work. Otherwise there is no way any of us will know how to help you.
Here's a guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69885525&postcount=11

Everyone is talking **** about b380 is it even worth it ?

In the part where the request should pop up in the Charles app, for me, nothing happens. And I'm positive that I did everything properly in the guide. Tried it again and again, maybe 10 times, but still nothing... I wanted to install B380 update with it, but I found easier way. I flashed back b131 firmware and from there I sent the update to my phone via Firmware Finder. It was relatively easy. Sorry for poorly describing my problem earlier.

To be honest, I don't see much of a difference, but just to remind you that I installed update couple of hours ago, so I might be wrong. I didn't have battery issues on b360, but I'm that kind of a person who loves newest firmwares on their phone :angel:

[Q] It's been 4 days and I still can't fix this bootloop!

Okay I had an L rom for about a month maybe less. Then Friday night, it just turns off and now all I see is flying colors.
In the ask any question thread I asked and some really awesome dudes were trying to help me but all of their solutions were in vain.
I used method 1 and 2 of the return to stock.
I made sure I followed EVERY step. Still nothing, it's been trying to boot for far far too long.
I really need my phone, and I'm not sure what else to do. I can't jump because I'm broke and that tamper flag is up.
Can someone help me? I have teamveiwer if it helps.
Also I should say I get several errors I think, like no recovery.sig or boot.sig when I clearly just flashed them.
Why do I get these errors? Is nobody else having the same problem as me? I'm getting really frustrated and to anyone who helps me solve my problem will get my oatmeal raisin cookie recipe (Not kidding, that's serious).
Please somebody help me. Ill be constantly refreshing this page so if you have any questions I will answer them.
Have you booted into the bootloader and used a Google bat file to flash the device completely clean?
Sent from my Android 5.0 Nexus 5
Yes
Follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701
Download "15 second adb installer" if you're having issues with adb or fastboot commands
Ignore the .sig errors
Worst case scenario flash each file one by one if flash all.bat doesn't work
Post up what happens after you run flash all.bat too
Have you tried flashing the KitKat factory images instead of Lollipop?

Either the op fixed the phone and is now celebrating by getting very drunk, or he smashed his phone out of frustration and doesn't care anymore lol.
Either way he's not refreshing this page constantly like he said
I didn't get the insurance or the warranty or nothing
No its still broken but I end up having to help my friend cause he car broke down all day.
No I didn't really want kitkat again, I really wanted to keep L. Ill try it when I can though.
I did both ways, flash all and flash manually but neither worked.

System Update won't let me downgrade or root.

I made the mistake of installing the most recent system update to change my baseband to G920VVRU2AOF1 and I tried re-rooting using ping-pong root and it won't let me install the su binary. I tried downgrading to OE2 using Odin, but that was a fail. Someone please help!!

It sounds like Verizon is up to their old tricks and preventing rollback by incrementing the bootloader again. Sadly you are stuck with no way to root if you can not flash back. All you can do is try submitting your info to the pingpong root thread and hope they can root it.

Not sure why you upgraded??
There is no root for the VZW version of the phone for that or newer versions now.
Pingpong will NEVER work again since its method of exploit was patched.
Most likey, another root method will come up but most likey will trip KNOX.
This is why they have been saying, DON'T UPGRADE OR TAKE A NEW OTA, but some people don't read or follow instructions. It is and has been on the pingpong root first post for some time.

Plus when the new version is rootable by a custom ROM you still won't be able to downgrade. That leaves the high possibility to loose root when something goes wrong and you have to Odin back to stock. Hopefully 5.1.x will be able to roll back, if not I won't upgrade.

Not sure why I upgraded either. Didn't research the consequences. It was an impulsive decision. I'm pissed I can't root my damn phone, can't even flash one of my backups.
I skim when I read the threads, and then my terrible memory gets me in situations like this.
Ugh, I need an App dev to make a new rooting app.
Just read the ping pong root thread... I'm a dumbass. :/

This upgrade s!#t is exactly that, [email protected]#t!! Don't upgrade. If they're not letting us downgrade with this upgrade, they're surely not going to let us downgrade with 5.1.x.
I'm still pissed. My battery is draining because of all the bloat that I can't manipulate if I were rooted. It's bugging the heck out of me not having full control of my phone.
Of course the upgrade wasn't good and why rooted users are not taking it.
You put you in the position you are in now. All the warnings were already there.

I'm the only one to blame, I'm already aware. Thanks! And I truly mean that.
Rule #1 is never ever take an OTA, just wait. I don't mean to throw salt on the wounds or anything but hopefully you'll save others from making the same mistake and I'm sure you won't make it again.
There's a lot of smart people working on this phone so don't give up hope just yet, you might catch a break. Heck, maybe a sock puppet will leak an unlocked bootloader like what happened with the S3. You never know.

Same thing happened to me, I stayed up all night trying to find a quick root, I dont care about messing with KNOX I just want my custom ROM back! But noooo there just isnt much variety I guess. Now I have to suffer because Verizon is lame.

I feel somewhat relieved that I'm not alone on this. I've literally been screwing with my phone, Odin, and whatnot for hours trying to find a way of having somewhat control over this phone... obviously, to no avail. Tired of 'permission DENIED/Failed' prompts.

It's not so much Samsung's fault, it's our damn carrier, Verizon that's making phone manipulating harder. I've had the S2, two S3's, and an S4, and I've never had issues with unlocking, rooting, abusing them until I switched to Verizon and got the S6. These damn OTA's are unnecessary.
Your so true
It's not even that, but the lack of control and uselessness of the updates frustrate me, and probably alot of other people. Verizon needs to step it up. I actually work for Verizon. And let me tell you. They are sneaky. So many people come in about bills being overpriced or something. It's awful. Anyways. I have great faith in out moddkng community and their will be a fix soon!
Hi everyone! I just rooted...super excited now! A few questions....
1. How do I disable update prompt?
2. Can I delete bloatware by using Root Explorer app or should I move them to data first then uninstall?
3. I am looking through different threads and it looks like we still can't flash much due to locked bootloader, correct? I am still on 1AOC3 haha afraid to touch anything
Thank you in advance! Loving S6!!!

Kinda curious... why did you post this to a thread about a problem "System Update won't let me downgrade or root." do you have that problem or are you just posting where ever feels good.
There are a lot of existing threads which cover what you are asking about.
Absolutely.... I posted because:
1. I searched and couldn't find a relevant thread on what I needed ...
2. I am 7 months pregnant and just love posting around random threads because it feels good.
Gee, thank you for being nice....

How to Disable Ota update?

Hey guys, there is a new update that keeps bothering me but I don't want to update. I'm rooted. How do I get rid of the notification to reboot and install??
Could I use titanium backup for this??
Thanks!!
It seems the update notification is coming from Google Play services. I wouldn't recommend disabling that package.
I would just follow these instructions and you should be good.
Can someone tell me what software version I'm supposed to be on? Just got the phone today and the baseband seems to be correct according to T-Mobile website but the google security version is dated 5-1-2016.

10i is the latest, you can root 10d following the guide here by tungkick, it applies to 10d as well, and read autoprimes all in one here. A video on YouTube helped as well. I would root, install twrp on the build you are on then use autoprimes zip to go to 10i located here.

If you have checked for an update manually and don't see one it might just take some time. I would personally not update, root 10d and then flash autoprimes 10i bringing you up to date.

Does 10i fix gps? I was concerned about gps coming from the S6 Edge. They were warning me in the store about all these issues that the G5 supposedly has (not gps but other things) and I had read my self about everybody's gps problems. So I tried it out a little while ago and it seemed like it was bouncing around a little bit while standing still but while driving it worked pretty accurately, other than the google navigation arrow being sideways in the wrong direction.

O boy, not sure whats going on but the phone keeps rebooting after using LGUP and it says bootloader failed in red even though it is succesful in LGUP. The first tot i downloaded on the phone and then transferred to the computer. Im retrying with it downloaded right to the pc. Also i think things may be wonky as i already had LG USB mobile driver exe installed for LG G4. IDK what the issue is here. EDIT.......GRRR stupid me , I never unlocked the bootloader as I forgot about it because it wasnt in the root instructions. I have no idea what to do now. Phone is in a bootloop.

I followed the guide and the video I referenced, I would start over stock if that's a possibility. I really don't know what advice to offer, double and triple check everything you do before doing it.

I ended up fixing it. 4 hours later lol. First time I messed up because I forgot to unlock boot loader. Second time i was having issues with the storage encryption after flashing autoprimes H83010i......so I had to redo everything all over again from scratch. I kept messing things up because I wasn't able to thoroughly read because I was on someone else's computer who was hovering over me and trying to make me hurry. Finally landed on 10i rooted, installed xposed, adaway etc.........after all these flashes battery pulls etc I'm not sure it was so good for the health of my phone lol. Also I'm pretty sure there's an update that just was released yesterday so it feels kinda pointless. Anyways, is there a way to disable the annoying messages on reboot and or change the boot screens?
Sighs, I really don't want to have to go through all of that just to get rid of an update message. Is there any other way? My phone is perfect on 10d.

New TMO FOTA update

Really? I didn't check or know how. I used the kdz for 10i a couple of weeks ago and I took the 10j update. Rooted from there and have only been flashing 10j roms. That's why i thought it was new. How do i check?

If you click on the notification it should give you more info on it (Haven't actually clicked on one since JB so don't quote me on that lol) or you can pull the update from /cache and upload it to google drive and send me the link so I can look at it. (Dont put the link in the forums cause people tend to flash first, question later why they leap before they look).

@Tilde88 or another will have to look at this. I tried numerous ways to extract this (I'm on Windows and am not familiar with messing with python on it, keep getting Command "bsdiff" is not valid, don't have dual boot on Windows 10 for a Ubuntu OS to do android related things yet, haven't had any motivation for anything these days) but I at least see it checks in the updater script if your system is NRD90M before it proceeds.
I just cant see an update so soon after J. We all know how good LG is at updates as well as source.

You are right, but I also remember with 10j, everyone seemed to get it within a day on TMO.
But you may be right if another one is out.
What size is the zip file?
It's strange why I would see an update on my phone. I am on 10j everything (bootloaded and all) and still got that update.

This was the update i took. Also, you can still root just fine.

Can't download latest firmware

Hi!
My problem is that I can't download the latest firmware like the FRD-L09C432B394. The latest for my phone is the FRD-L09C432B389.
I tried rollback the phone to Android 6.0 / EMUI 4.1, installing C432B131 official firmware
The phone takes me to update to Android 7.0, and then to FRD-L09C432B389. After that, no other updates.
I wiped all the things I could before doing that, and uninstalled roots. I don't know what the problem might be.
Hope you guys could help me, maybe there's an obvious spot that I'm missing.
UPDATE: After 9 days I still didn't get the update. I'm sure now there's a problem, and I can't find it.
UPDATED 2: I GOT IT! I finally got the update after 15 days. I had to go manually in the update tab to receive it. Thank you guys for keeping me patient and helping me!

It happened to me also, Indian Variant, but after few days, I received via phone updater. Tried to push via firmware finder but couldn't install.

Not for me unluckly. I manage to download the update through the official update option, but when it reaches 100% it says something like the update isn't compatible, and deletes it.

May be you need to be little more patience.
We have B340 rolling out for Honor 6X and few got it in early August and few getting it now and others are still waiting but they are getting slowly. Its like they are slowly sending to users but eventually send to all.
I GOT IT! I finally got the update after 15 days. I had to go manually in the update tab to receive it. Thank you guys for keeping me patient and helping me!
