After I updated my sisters phone to EMUI 3.1 (android 5.1.1) the phone became pretty much unusable. Even after reinstalling all apps or a factory reset, apps keep crashing. E.g. facebook loads up and is usable but just freezes after a few seconds and then crashes. Already contacted Huawei but no luck. Does anyone have tips, or should we just wait for the next update to patch things up? Thanx in advance

It happened the same to me! Nothing is working right now. Google chrome, the alarm, facebook, youtube, everything crashes! I made a hard reset and installed the apps again but nothing to do!
How can I fix the problem and have my beautiful phone back?
Shame on Android 5, I want go back to Android 4.4.2!
Please help!

Factory reset and don't install facebook app.
Sent from my HUAWEI P7-L10 using XDA Free mobile app
Guys, i have the same probçem with my p7. Everything worked propperly before the update D:
I looked everywhere but nobody seem to have an answer, i think we will have to wait till the next update
Same for me
Same problem for me, after the update, Google Play Services threw an error, I cleaned that apps cache and performed a reboot, after which that problem seemed to be solved. However some apps (especially the facebook one), just freezes when scrolling through the app
Hopefully this can be resolved quickly, as the phone was operating just fine before the update.
i have the same problem after 5.1.1 update.
the phone crashes all the time..
any sugestions?
Same problem here. After update several apps freeze while using. Especially facebook, alarm (clock) and the speach messages on WhatsApp. We have tried wiping the cage and factory reset already. Device is not rooted and runs stock firmware, update was ota.
I have that problems too, please help.
Even before crashing, fb videos doesnt load...
I tried wipe partition reset, which seems it has wirked on note 4, but for ne it hasn t worked
Same problem here... all apps get frozen after a few seconds (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat...) and even the alarm or internal apps are not working well. When do you think it will arrive a new update?
I hope they will release a new update or patch soon. My girlfriend's smartphone is quite useless now.
Same problem here!
Well my phone is not crashing, tho it did just a few times maybe in 2 weeks. Nothing too serious. But it is a little bit buggy, and kinda slow. Hope they fix all this

I have the same problem. Somebody in XDA is helping me to fix it. I don't know if is possible but I'll paste the chat with the instructions in here. I'm about to start the process, maybe it helps you.

Nothing, i did a force update to B800 and then to B621 because miss the app updater. Now i'm on 830 and still waiting a real stable beta..
-Sorry but I'm learning about this Android world. Can you tell me how did you do this force update to B800, please?
Force update is a different way to start the update. So, download B800, extract the update.app file on PC (no on file manager of the phone because then don't work), after that create a folder called "dload" and put the UPDATE.APP file here. Turn off your phone and press vol+, vol- and power buttons all together, in this way will start the process of upgrade( or downgrade like this). before restart of phone the dload folder with update.app inside has to be put on the root of the sdcard or the internal storage..

Sounds interesting! Were you successful with this instructions? Has the phone to be rootet? Where did you get the b800 file? And which Android version did you have in the end? I'm a little confused because you mentioned B805, B800 and B621...

Unfortunately I couldn´t "downgrade" the EMUI version from 3.1, but I could change from B832 to B830. Still can't get root access. For now, I'm gonna try this version and if I find something wrong, I'll try to change to B800 (as transitional rom) and go back to B621, as the instructions above.

OK, I don't want to root the phone or install a custom recovery, because my girlfriend doesn't want to void her warranty. I'm just looking for a way to reverse the last update and get back to the stock android version before, because with the last update she got lots of problems with her phone.

My wife's phone after upgrade to B830 has some problems but the one most critical is with the audio service.
If you turn off sound, vibro or total silence, sound does not work at all, even after you turn it back on.
When you enter ringtone choosing settings you can't get out, phone stucks, you can't go to alarm clock, also - you are stuck here, nothing works, you can't change alarm time etc...
Phone calls make no sound, just vibro. Only way to get out of this is to reboot a phone.
Can i fix it without doing full factory reset?
Hey all!
I found a german site that has the android M beta, i havent tested it, but someone should probably post guide and links for updating to the beta
in short there is also now a B508->B550->803 update. i think its the version from india, but according to my understanding of the german site from google translate, it seems to work in europe as well.
im gonna test it later on today and let you know how it goes. )(

i can now confirm this is working on H60-L04, updated with unlocked bootloader but needed to go back to stock recovery for my B521 install.
i can't remember the policy on posting links here, so i will refrain from this until clarified.
the basic is as always: (usually a backup isnt required, but better safe than sorry)
1. back up your phone to computer(with hi-suite) or SD-card, or use titanium if rooted.
2.restore to stock recovery
3.install update.app(which in this package will downgrade to B507(previous beta)
4.then local restore the update.zip which will install the B803.
(5.) restore backup if needed
experience:
they have removed the option to downscale the screen which might impact battery life. (at least in 5.1.1 the difference between 1080p and 720p was as much as almost 30% or for me charging once a day to two times a day...im really the power user so if you usually have a battery the whole day or two days, then...well...). The battery drained pretty much like normal for me yesterday, but i didnt activate/open all of my 80+ installed apps. (about 20 of them i use on a daily basis, the rest about weekly use).
there is some errors entering recovery mode(when pressing the buttons for entering recovery during startup it tries to install some update, but is unsuccessful and reboots), but i will se if im able to flash CWM recovery later. any battery issues i experience now might be due to unwiped cache.
Android M in general doesnt appear to be a giant leap forward, but i clearly notice that some apps do run a lot better on android M. (especially the google apps and google fit but this is to be expected)
apparently it also appears on my device that some notifications and the "push" functionality they have tried to copy from ios doesnt work as smoothly as i had hoped, but again, this IS a beta, perhaps even an early one.
the only noticeable, or possibly a bigger bug, is a bit more laggy menus and slower animations in MIUI 4.0 compared to the MIUI 3.1 . it just doesnt feel "snappy" when browsing through menus like before.
let me know and i will put together a guide to install this beta! (if you dont know what a BETA version is, dont install it)
There's already a few topics about the testing versions in the General section.
The screen displays "No upgrade file!", but the file update.zip I put it in the folder "dload". How can I fix?

Hi everyone !
I rooted my Honor 5C a while ago and everything went smoothly. After installing Xposed, some modules and some nice root apps, I decided to take a step forward.
Lately, I heard of MicroG to replace Google Apps and Services. Since I'm actually and for quite some time trying to degooglise myself more and more, it catched my interest. Thus, according to several tutorials, I used Root App Deleter to uninstall GApps, in order to replace them with the MicroG framework. Then I reboot and... well my device was unable to pass the Honor screen. So I went to TWRP recovery menu and tried a factory reset, which changed nothing, so I went deeper in the wipe settings and wiped... pretty much everything yeah. This was quite a stupid thing to do, now I don't even have an OS installed on my phone...
And of course, I've been stupid enough to never did a nandroid backup. Feel free to yell or mock me, I know I really should have...
Anyway, at this point, it seems that the only available option to me would be to flash a stock rom to my device, but I can't find one for the EU version NEM-L51. Actually, I can't find any stock rom for Honor 5C on Huawei site, nor on the web. I did quite some research today and I swear I couldn't find anything, anywhere. And here I am.
Please guys, can someone help me ? I know I'm at fault for not taking my precautions before doing some risky stuff, and I guess it was going to happen to me one of these days, but I hope there is something I can do.
Thanks in advance for reading and eventually trying to help me if you can.
See ya !

Thanks for answering. I installed that software on Windows, but by searching for "NEM-L51", I got a list of several models : NEM-L51C10B141, NEM-L51C432B130, NEM-L51C432B120, NEM-L51C10B121, NEM-L51C432B104 and NEM-L51C432B103. I have no idea which one I should try to download. Can you help me figuring that out ?
Again, thank you for your help.

i guess thats the only thing you can do unless someone else uploads a twrp backup that you can flash.
to start download honor multitool and huawei update extractor. use the unbrick option use lowest Bxxx number first until the phone boots. may have to wait a few minutes
or idk if you can use the 3 button flash method, considering you dont know which version you have installed previously.

I don't know this tool, but after a quick research, it looks like Honor Multitool has been made for Honor 6 and 7 devices. Or am I wrong ? As for Huawei Update Extractor, isn't a tradition file extractor good enough for this ? I thought I could flash the ROM from the TWRP menu, but it's not going to be that easy, right ?
Anyway, links for B103 and B104 are dead. But why some zip are NEM-L51C432Bxxx and others NEM-L51C10Bxxx ? Are they from different devices ? Guess I can try them all regardless, things won't get any worse because of that, right ?
Oh, and some zip files are OTA and others are FULL, but assuming I don't have an OS installed, I guess I have to go for the FULL types, correct ?
Sorry for asking so many questions, I'm pretty unaware of what to do in these circumstances and I really hope I'll be able to get my phone working again...

the multitool should work for all as honor phones are similar, need huawei update extractor. google which version of the phone you have to see which Cxx you need. yes you need full
p.s you can also use this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/help/to-destroyed-ur-h7-noob-friendly-t3554793

In the end, I ended trying the second method from there : http://www.gizmoadvices.com/install-stock-firmware-honor-5c-b102/ with a file I got from Huawei Firmware Finder. Basically, in case this can help someone, I extracted the archive content in the internal storage (my phone was plugged to my PC while in TWRP menu), then created a dload folder within which I cut/paste the update.app previously extracted. Then I powered off my device and rebooted it while pressing the volume up, down and power button as you also suggested. After the process completed and another reboot, the whole thing was apparently good to go. For now anyway, I receive phone calls and texts, and network is functioning as well.
Still, I noticed something strange. I downloaded the NEM-L51C10B141 build version, but in my phone info, I have the NEM-L51C432B141, which wasn't even in the list of the zip files from Huawei Firmware Finder. How comes ? Plus, I can't know for sure, but I think I hadn't this version since it is apparently the most recent one available. Is it possible that I have now a more recent build version than my phone had considering it didn't seem to want to update beforehand ? Also, what could be the fallout after that ?
Again, thank you. You've been a huge help, I wouldn't have made it without you. I'll be more careful next time.

Well, I looked at the options and it's clearly not the version I had before, there are some differences here and there. Basically, the build number just refer to the latest security patches, is that it ? So if I have a more recent one, I guess it's just lucky me. Dunno why Huawei didn't propose me to update to it though... And I'm still on Android 6.0.
Sad thing is, this method apparently locked again my bootloader. I guess TWRP is gone too then... Long road ahead.
Thanks again for your help.

Hey folks,
NOTE: SOLVED, update below
On my VTR-L09 Single Sim, I flashed TWRP to edit /vendor/etc/hosts and then flashed recovery again. I went a wrong path there and had to flash the original recovery in order to do a factory reset & wipe. My /data-Partition was broken during the process, too, because I was accidentally wiped it
After the fresh wipe, I started the phone again and after it loaded, configured it (without restoring from my backup) and after a couple of seconds my camera app disappeared from the home screen. Dafuq? Since then, I tried to recover it a couple of times.
I am now hoping that the B126-Update brings my camera app back when it arrives via OTA, but until then:
Does anyone have an Idea where my camera app went, and how I can get it back?
Obviously, I checked under the disabled apps.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
I am on VTR-L09C432B123
UPDATE: I worked out a way of re-flashing an official update without funkyhuawei, check out https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/development/dev-introducing-redlotus-source-huawei-t3601493
Did you try to install another camera app to see if the camera turn on? it's possible that the data folder of camera to be erased.

Have you tried the HiSuite system restore option. I never used it. But if it works like the restore option from Samsung and Sony. You should restart your phone in recovery mode and the original firmware will be flashed?
Hey
thanks for your answers.
The hisuite does not support my model yet (argh).
OpenCamera works fine, whatsapp's camera feature as well....
The Gallery App is still there, by the way.
I'm having the same issue too after an unsuccessful root which required me to factory reset my P10. After factory rest the stock camera app is missing..
Could someone upload their stock camera backup file? It would be much appreciated.
I attached the HwCamera2 folder with apk, lib and oat folder from /system/priv-app.
I'm on VTR-L29C432B123.

Thanks for the file. May I know how do I get it installed?
I navigated through the same directory and found the same files as yours. I tried installing the apk file from both my own and yours but it says it is corrupted.
Thanks, @Jannomag. I have found that most other Huawei-Apps in that priv-app folder are also missing (except I am not entirely sad about many of those). I'll keep digging a bit.
*Update* I just found in my /etc/whitelistedapps.xml points to /vendor/etc/whitelistedapps.xml, which in turn does not exist.
could somebody with a working Camera app please check whether that file /vendor/etc/whitelistedapps.xml exists, and what is written in there?
This is just a straw I am holding on to, not a real trace or hint, though.

Hy Lukx, i have exactly the same problem. Wanted to root my phone, but I couldnt see the zip file in twrp, so i wiped whole data and did formatting the whole phone. after reboot my camera app was gone, also the themes were disappeared. I tried installing the firmware for my huawei (from a russian site but I dont know if its the right firmware) but it stopped at 5%.
My Phones Build Number is: VTR-L09C432B113
Thanks

Funny thing... I am suspecting that some version mismatch of the recovery or boot partition during the Wipe might be the cause, although I do not have any proof of that.
I am currently trying to write a free alternative to funkyhuawei, so we can flash the full firmware easily again. I think i won't be done with that before mid next week, though...
I am using the OpenCamera app in the meantime.

I didn't say that
But as FH reflashes your phone fully, it should do a full recovery. If you feel like investing money into that, why not try? Otherwise, I recommend you wait along with me for another week and see how far I get with my approach, which I promise to release for free...

I never really use the theme feature, as I have found "my" favorite theme initially and it's now in the Huawei Backup I carry around through reflashes (highly recommended, it stores on SD card). But the "Designs" app seems to show me a couple of designs, yes. I don't want to try downloading them right now, though.

Hey folks,
NOTE: SOLVED, update below
On my VTR-L09 Single Sim, I flashed TWRP to edit /vendor/etc/hosts and then flashed recovery again. I went a wrong path there and had to flash the original recovery in order to do a factory reset & wipe. My /data-Partition was broken during the process, too, because I was accidentally wiped it
After the fresh wipe, I started the phone again and after it loaded, configured it (without restoring from my backup) and after a couple of seconds my camera app disappeared from the home screen. Dafuq? Since then, I tried to recover it a couple of times.
I am now hoping that the B126-Update brings my camera app back when it arrives via OTA, but until then:
Does anyone have an Idea where my camera app went, and how I can get it back?
Obviously, I checked under the disabled apps.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
I am on VTR-L09C432B123
UPDATE: I worked out a way of re-flashing an official update without funkyhuawei, check out https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/development/dev-introducing-redlotus-source-huawei-t3601493

Guy all you need is follow step on this link to restock rom and start unlock bootloader again
You can try to restore factory settings.
Hi guys,
I have a sunmi v2 android PDA, and i want to remove blocked OS.
I can't find bootloader, or i dont know how to enter on it, also i want to install a recovery mode to flash a new ROM.
Someone can help me please with this problem?
Thank You.
Hi, I have the same problem. Did you find a way to do it?
Can you tell me please?
Thank you
I have V.1.. Firstly, are you guys able to allow installation of apps from "Unknown Sources"?
Just wondering if you ever managed to load android onto the V2 and remove the Sunmi OS? I have managed to enable dev mode and allow untrusted sources but on installing google play services and store all I get is crash reports and have to factory reset.
Thanks
J
Can you tell me what you did to install apps from untrusted sources? and what progress have you managed to make?

To enable untrusted sources I had dev mode on but under security > device admin > unknown sources. I don't know if you need to enable dev mode to turn that on but if so go to about > build number > tap until it enables. I'm not really a software guy and was hoping someone on the internet would have a solution to rooting the device and maybe ADB it, I did ask a software engineer friend of mine and he did some research on them, these things talk to Sunmi's servers on boot with the current FW so they are heavily locked down, so progress wise for me is it's been in a drawer since January and I'm hoping someone will have a way to root the thing :S
So I have no idea about Android things but I bought secondhand Sunmi V2 that is locked on Glovo aplication.
For the last week I managed to do some research about that:
1. The thing runs custom OS with some kind of recovery-from-boot.p thing that prevents most of modifications, cause after reboot it reverts some system things.
2. I tried to use SP flash tool to do full backup, made mine scatter file and thing I have no idea about
3. Managed to download TWRP recovery to device recovery partition with use of SP flash tool, this did not do anything and the thing booted to Phoenix recovery as normal....
4. With the help of WWR 2.51 I managed to install applications on it...
5. Installed Kingroot, didnt do anything, installed, APKPure, works nice, Magisk, dont know how to root...
6. Tried installing google play, it says it is installed, cant uninstall it nor open it...
7. Can't and don't know how to enter fastboot...
8. I am afraid to flash complete ROM from some other same chipset device...
9. After powering up, Sunmi connects to its own server and does some kind of evil magic to preinstall software and settings.
10. I contacted Sunmi, they kinda don't want to help, cause I will resell device after unblocking it.
11. Fount "that guy" from youtube that does unlocking it, on the minus side he wants money for unlock... and from his videos he flashes complete EMMC_USER bin to device to unlock google play.
Do anyone know which steps can I take further to try to unlock it by myself?
I have some spare time at work to do this kind of playing around.
Update:
I managed to extract system.img from device and I am able to browse files on it, the plan is to see can i change some files and setting in it and reflash it back to device. This is all overwhelming to me as I have no experience in android development.

Thank you for the update, Im following this thread to see how this goes. Im trying to unlock my Sunmi V1 too
I managed to brick it, stuck at boot looping... Somehow I redownload boot and system from my backup with SP flash tool and got it working back again...
So I tried using ASSAYED Kitchen and remove some Bloatware, rebuild it, and upload it back to device, used two files: System.img and boot.img... This bricked my device.
What am I doing wrong? This must surely be my error. Do I need to do something to recovery partition?
UPDATE:
Managed to install custom recovery TWRP, made it myself using Carliv Image Kitchen
UPDATE 2:
Even thou TWRP seems working, It does not mount any partitions: /data, /system... Invalid argument...
Does anyone know how to fix it easy way? because I cant find too similar custom TWRP to Sunmi...
Any custom system.img that I flash with SP tool does not want to boot, never, and even if I only open ASSAYED Kitchen, do nothing and repack it. Is the only way to install it with TWRP?
BIG UPDATE:
I have done 99% of the job!
I could write full from zero to hero tutorial for this, but basically I used TWRP to recover /data/system/users/0/package-restrictions.xml and edit it as I pleased and unlock google play.

I am also looking forward to the results you have done
So amazing!!
I am slowly loosing interest in this. Whatever I do it is just endless loop...
When I modify package-restrictions.xml and settings_secure.xml files I got GooglePlay and Maps and stuff, but first time you connect the device to internet, SunmiBaseService overwrites them with options used for this DeviceID.
I renamed this SunmiBaseService to something else, got this working, but then since the whole thing runs on this sunmi backbone you can't install any apk's. I can normally install apks using USB and enabled BaseService.
It would be best if I could have just normal Android on this thing since it is unusable if you block BaseService, and if you would do any system upgrade on some point in time it would overwrite and install this service by itself. Like I said, it is endless loop. Even after contacting sunmi my region cant't have this for private use.
I can provide all files used in this process, my scatter files, my TWRP recovery and else...
The question is is it possible to port clean Android to this device, like we install new windows on a PC?
Hello guys, any news for Sunmi? I got one, but i wan't to remove the OS, or enable Play on it.

No, I tried everything I know. Only thing that I did not do is replacing sunmibase service with some kind of android base service or paying some youtube guy 20$ for unlocking, but I doubt it would work correctly. Couse after you, in some point in time, update software or something I highly doubt it would work after that.

I am going to upload files that I have, but I need few days to do so.
