Honor 8 - Instable System - How to clean to factory state? - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hello together - I have trouble with a clean reset / reflash of my Honor 8 ("FRD-L09C432B394")
Bootloader is unlocked - TWRP was installed.
After some problems I re-flashed the original Image B394 (first the original - and then the EU-Addon). I used the "dload"-method with the Three-Button method. OK - TWRP is gone. Then I did a factory reset - everythins seemed fine.
But - my phone has a strange behaviour. If I enter "Settings" I have a long delay (... 30 seconds). The phone-number for the hidden menu *#*#2846579#*#* is not working any more. Half of the apps are missing...
... something is seriously wrong.
What to do? How can I reset the phone to its original factory state?

Yo Try This With TWRP

Hello RealFireBlaze20 - you made my day! Of course I searched the forums... but it seems I'm too stupid to find the "good threads"
The TWRP-Method with the immediate recovery worked.
Thanks a lot! :good:

[Q] Nexus 5 camera does not record video

My wife has Nexus 5 (it is completely stock and unrooted with unlocked bootloader) running running Android 4.4.2. Recently, the stock camera app stopped recording videos. Tapping the record button does not do anything while camera works perfectly in photo mode. I factory reset the phone but the problem persists. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
lock the bootloader and send it back

Try to clear data and cache from camera in settings.
If that doesnt work either and you really have done the factory reset, you have to send it to repair bc of an hardware deffect. :crying:

I will try that but I think factory resetting clears cache, anyway. The phone camera worked fine previously but now suddenly it stopped.
Thanks anyway.
I have the same problem, when I change the camera app to record nothing happens when I press the red record button. I think the problem started when I upgraded to 4.4.2

And you flashed the right one? Hammerhead-4.4.2
Like i said before, if that doesnt help, you have to send it back to get a replacement.
You need to uncompress each download before use, which creates a new directory for that exact download. That directory contains a ./flash-all.sh script, which handles the various operations, installs the necessary bootloader, baseband firmware(s), and operating system. Note that this operation deletes all user data by default

Make yure that data gets wiped also! Dont forget to backup your sdcard bc it gets also wiped.

I did not flash anything. The phone was OTA updated. Please note that the phone received OTA update and when I applied it, it completed its process but did not update (it was still on older android version) and this happened several times (I mentioned this on a separate thread here on XDA old post).

I downgraded Nexus 5 from Android 4.4.2 to 4.4 and now the camera is working fine. But I am afraid of updating it back to 4.4.2.

Yes, I did it. Flashed the stock 4.4.2 and everything seems to work fine. However, when I tried updating using OTA after downgrading the update failed and stopped with "Error" message. After flashing 4.4.2 from scratch will hopefully allow smooth future OTA updates. Thanks everyone.

Glad you worked it out!
Good thing is - you got a Nexus, so its easy to flash all the stuff and go back to stock/factory image/recovery/...
:highfive:
Any update on this? I have this exact problem. No unlock, not root just pure OTA stock.
1. Video does not record. You press the red button and no timer comes up.
2. A VID_20140126_224910.mp4.tmp file is created 395.54 KB.
3. Time lapse works as do all the other camera functions.
4. The basic Google FAQ has generic instructions if an app does not work so I followed these.
5. in safe mode the camera works fine.
6. Power off and on again. The Video Camera then works fine and creates normal .mp4 files.
Things I have done that may affected the Camera in the first place;
1. Clear cache.
2. Put a .thumbnails file in DCIM to stop the gigantic .thumbnail folder being created.
3. Running nova launcher.
Unlikely these are a factor as I isolated them as an issue and rebooted but worth a mention just in case.
Camera works but have found the it subsequently stopped working again and had to repeat the Google FAQ steps to fix an app.
To answer my own question I found the uninstalling Said It_1.3.37.apk fixed the problem and just to prove it reinstalling brought the problem back.

[HELP]not able to take screenshort after updating to cos12.1

Guys i am not able to take any screenshort on my phone after updating to cos 12.1. When i try to take a screen short it says ( can't take screen short due to limited storage space, or its not allowed by the app or the organization) pls help and how to take screen short.
Thanks
hi mate, here a few solutions for you:
after updating you should wipe cache.
You can make a screenshot by holding volume down and power button at the same time.
Otherwise you can add the screenshot menue to the power menue:
go to settings, buttons, power menue and check screenshot. So you can take a screenshot with your power menue. Don't forget to make a reboot, done :fingers-crossed:

Hi mate, from where did you make your update? From 11 to 12 or from 12 to 12.1
When you updated from 11, did you make a clean install?
Remember when you change the major version of a rom you have to make a clean install cause it´s a complete new system.
Dirty flash is only possible within the same version (ex. 12.0 to 12.1) !!!
Try to reflash the rom again, should work:fingers-crossed:
Greets, reinipic
By the way, is your phone rooted or is it stockrom?

Camera doesn't load

Hi everybody,
I'm back with a new problem in my Honor 8 (FRD-L04)... I was one of the user who installed the faulty version 15.0 of the Magisk update, so as you can imagine my phone went into bootloop and had to go all over from a backup I did the past September. I was running the firmware version B385, and because I lost many important things for no backing up lately, I decided I would just update to the firmware version B389. My phone was rooted, so I had to flash a stock recovery and do a full package download for the update. Everything went smooth and the update worked well. I had to do a full wipe because after the update the bootloader locked and I unlocked it to root the phone once again. This happened 2 days ago, and today I tried to use the camera and this is were everything started going down. The camera simply doesn't load, if I clear the data and cache of the app and reopen the app, it shows the initial screen where you need to swipe it to start using the camera but after that it goes in some kind of opening closing loop, until finally it closes. When I try to open it again, it stays in a black screen until it closes. I have restarted the phone and cleared the dalvik/cache in TWRP but the problem persists. I don't know if this is important, but after starting the camera app and failing launching it, the flashlight stops working too. If i restart the phone, and start the flashlight it works well. I have been thinking in reinstalling the camera app, but I can't find the apk for it.
Hope somebody can help me with this small issue, so thanks in advanced

Thanks for replying Rommco05... You mean to downgrade to the B385 update? or rollback to B381?
I have found the update.zip file for the B389 upgrade here http://gsmtube.com/android-tips-tri...89-android-7-0-nougat-update-europe-9747.html but the links appear to be broken..
Rommco05, can you help me how to downgrade? I'm a noob at this and your help would be greatly appreciated! thanks

Have you tried restarting the phone? I had 1 time yesteday too, suddenly, the phone was idle, and when I checked Wifi found nothing. Restarted and then it works again. Not sure if related to March update or some other stuffs

Wow...after a factory reset, that's pretty much it!
You can try doing the reset network settings button (you can search it in the search bar in Settings or find it in the Internet setting on top right button [wrench and reset circle]), but I can't imagine it doing better than a factory reset.
The best/last thing that can be suggested, since it states you are rooted in your sig, is to flash the latest Full Factory image (March) and/or with the "-w" intact (since you stated that you did a factory reset so I imagine your phone is wiped anyways) and see if that doesn't fix the issue. The best 3 methods to achieve this is using the online Android Flash Tool, the tool PixelFlasher that can be found here on XDA, or manually using platform-tools (you must've used one of these in the past to be rooted, so I assume you're familiar).
Hopefully you get it figured out. Worst case, the phone is still under manufacturer's warranty and you should be able to get it replaced with a refurbished if it truly isn't resolved...

Mmmm...when you stated you "factory reset", it wasn't clear whether it was from the OS system setting or when flashing...
I don't think there is a "better clean" way to flash and/or reset the phone. If you're not flashing/sideloading OTA (which you aren't)...
It (reset network) was a very long shot, but worth exploring just in case it hadn't been tried yet...
I mean, I guess you can try Android Flash Tool and even go as far as to flash to both slots and relock bootloader to get a pure, stock status and see if the problem truly sticks that way. You've already wiped the phone, so I doubt this could hurt or you lose anything important at this point. But I can't imagine dirty flashing the latest March update (or even including disabling the verity stuff) wouldnt've addressed or reset things to set the issue straight...
If it's still there after relocking the bootloader and flashing to both slots, then it's warranty exchange time (if you ever want to resolve the issue)...
*most likely the flashing somehow wrecked the system board radio enough...
If/When this works, you'll need go through the trouble of unlocking the bootloader, and reflashing the Full Factory image with disabling the verity & validation stuff, before rooting again.
Ok I think it's a hardware problem. When I shake my phone, I hear something moving.
I dropped it from my bed saturday night. The wifi module must be disconnected.
Let's send it to Google....

Are you sure that what you are hearing move when you shake the phone is just the OIS for the camera? All phones with OIS will make some noise when you shake them.
