And after what a a right way make a updrade?
Very thanks,Igor
Hi!
I recently acquired a B60 serial, TF101 that has the android version 3.1 ; with build number HMJ37.US_epad-8.4.4.11-20110711
The system is prompting for an update , I believe it is for the 3.2 upgrade, which I didn't do yet.
I am very much interested in getting custom firm ware installed.
I had an opportunity to read the forum, and just needed directions in the right way:
1. Should I upgrade to the V8.6.5.9 (Android 3.2) from the ASUS website or the OVA that the system is prompting me to do so? I am just concerned with the following statement from ASUS website: ※Firmware update cannot do *SKU conversion* and downgrade version .... I believe this means, I can't downgrade after?
2. I can use the Universal Rooting Tool that is discussed on this forum, but I believe in that case I need to do #1 above, is that correct? or Can I do it with the stock firmware that I have?
3. the custom firmware I am interested in is the Android Revolution ; it says it requires: Clockworkmod Recovery - using the #2 mentioned above, will it be installed automatically?
Thanks.
P.S. Let me know anything else that I have missed.
Hi,
has anybody idea why is the top rated relatively new Huawei Mate 8 phone (runs Android Marshmallow) incompatible with the Android Auto app?
Google says on the troubleshooting pages:
My phone is incompatible
Some phones with Android Lollipop (5.0) and higher may be incompatible with Android Auto. If you see an "Incompatible phone" notification when opening the Android Auto app, your phone may not have enough memory or a video encoder that supports Android Auto.
The Mate 8 is a powerful phone: it is quite unlikely that there is an issue with the memory. Is there a workaround ? An apk file direct installation without Google Play did not work.
Thank you
Mike
Works fine on my phone. What model are you using? Have you rooted or flashed different region firmware?
Hi kunalmalviya ,
thank you for trying to help.
In the meantime I have found out that Google does not support the Android Auto app for all countries and my (Slovakia) is not listed unfortunately. So I do not know if there is an issue with the cellphone or the country.
I downloaded another apk files and manage to install them but none of them worked, i.e. I could not connect the phone with the car. I tried even the debug mode - I found on Youtube a video from Germany from someone who said that Huawei works only in debug mode.
Btw. I have a not rooted phone with original region FW, NXT-LO9, build NXT-L09C432B180, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.0.
Thank you
mike
I'm in the US and I am also seeing this phone is incompatible with Android Auto? I'm on L29C432B320
Do I need to flash to a different firmware?
Just got my Oneplus 9 CN version. It seems the android auto won't work. I enabled all the permissions and auto launch. When I plug in the USB, it says "no installed apps work with this USB accessory".
Any clue how to fix it? Or I have to install the Global version firmware?
Many thanks
Never mind. Got the oxygen os flashed. Everything works flawless.
Good morning
So I've a xiaoxin pad 11 pro:
Model: tb-j706f
android version: 10
software version: tb-_706f_rf01_201229
ROM: TB-J706F_S240073_201229_ROW
kernel: 4.14.117 from 2020
Widevine: L1
And I whant to update to TB-J706F_S620150_211226_ROW. So my questions are many
-Can i use lenovo sofware to update?
-Do i need to lock or unlock oem bootloader from settings?
-Can only be done using QFIL or other softwares?
-Do i need to find out if it's region lock?
-How to backup this img, if everything goes wrong?
-Do i have to install the original chinese version, or can i just update the international one?
I see alot of threats talking about going from international to chinese, but I like to have play store and keepping widevine lv.1. Without having to do a lot of "work".
I've tried to use the OTA function, but downloads the update (just after my current version) it restart's and gets to the lenovo logo on the screen and reboots. Like a boot loop. I've to manually shutdown the tablet and it's back to normal.
After readding this forum, i still dont see a uniform way to update this device, and more importantly a easy way to do it. Can all of you help me?
- yes
- no
- yes
- even CN versions can be flashed with global rom
- you could still flash an img you download online if something wrongs happen
- it's on your own, if you have L1 with global unless you want latest updates no need to go CN, stay global.
if OTA update doesn't work maybe reset the device or even flash the newest rom available from lolinet then update with OTA.
@melones22 Thanks for the aswers.
Do you know if i download the newest global rom from lolinet, and force install, if i keep my lv1?
if you relock bootloader, likely. personally with natsafety patch + hde etc still l3
be absolute sure that you didn’t modified anything else than flashing before relocking

Yes, but I nver used it

If you flash stock ROMs CN or Global you do NOT need to unlock bootloader
front3 said:

To flash a ROM you can use QFIL, I never used Lenovo softwaare so I am not sure if you can flash form there only last version or if you have a choice.
Normally you should not be required to use QFIL and you should be able to update with OTA updates.

If you are having problems updating I guess it doesn't hurt finding that out.

You should backup QCN with QFIL and all partitions (you can probably exclude vendor and userdata) with QFIL or edl, there is a guide for both methods (I use edl) https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/two-ways-to-backup-tb-j706f-without-unlocking-bootloader.4402799/

You should be able to update your global ROM but since you are having problems I don't exclude you might need to go back to CN ROM before flashing again the Global ROM.

I am not sure what's the problem with your OTA update.
I would suggest to:
Backup your QCN and all partitions first
Open your QCN with QCNView and check the region in NV Item 6858
If your region is 02 is Global and OTA update should work, so maybe try a factory reset and see if after OTA update works.
If it's 00 (region unlocked) or 01 (China) that might be the reason OTA updates are not working.
Edit
I read again the version you have now and it's quite old, that probably does not have any region lock.
In the one tablet I had from the shop with Chinese ROM I flashed TB-J706F_S250260_210804_ROW, that set it as global region and then from that I run OTA updates.
So I think you should backup as I said before and then flash TB-J706F_S250260_210804_ROW, make sure to select the right settings in QFIL and NEVER check "Reset state machine".

Hi Mr. Crayon,
Is there any guide in how to do as what you mentioned above ? I'm quite new to this 'manual update' and still learning. Would really appreciate your help on this. My Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2020 (TB-J706F_S268018_210731_ROW) is still running on android 10 and my device is not certified by play protect. T.T
Hello.
Thanks @MrCrayon, but i never has able to use qfil to backup my device. To complicated for me. But thanks for the help.
So what i did to update my tablet. After feeling the same way @shaoki92 , i just tried to use lenovo tools. And... puff... update done.
No problems what so ever,
Did not lose L1
And did not have to mess with bootloader or region lock.
But i understand that i took a big risk. The tablet could've become just a paper weight. But until now working fine. With new android and everything.

Hi front3,
May i ask how do you update using lenovo tools ? Thanks
Im no expert that so ever. But i can tell you that i did.
Install lenovo assistance, on windows.
Used the charging cable of the tablet to connect to pc.
Launch the app
Connect to the device via app
(And i dont remember now, but i think its recue my device, and update, inside the app)
The app gives you a warning about using the tool on CH devices, and i took the risk.
Check the firmware version that the app gives you, and what it the lastest that has been deploid. Just to be sure. And do it if you dont mind taking the risk, do it.
In my case, the version that the app recomended has not on lolinet at that time. It only show up there, weeks later. But because the app connects to lenovo servers directly, i think it was safe.
Be careful because you can brick the device. And like @MrCrayon explained, i had one very old firmware, so xiaoxin didnt have the same "security" feactures has the newer devices. So maybe that is why it worked.
