Hi guys,
I recently bought this phone and it already had a problem on the last OTA update, a network trouble which didn't let the phone get the sim network working, so I flashed a firmware from here which was pre-rooted.
Everything is working fine, less the apps which everytime I install/uninstall causes the phone to restart almost EVERYTIME...
Plus the storage so poor (4GB) already full, I have Link2SD installed but I can't install directly on the SD, only on the phone storage, what is impossible already.
Hope somebody can help with this, i'm not a pro but neither a newbie.
Thanks.

Hi.
I finally could change my other Note 4 as it was giving problems (Rooted). This time i wont root.
The problem im having is with the Interal Storage being much less than the advertised. I updated firmware with Kies and all went fine.
From 32GB i got only 24GB.
Is it not too much 8GB for the Software and how can i delete some apps without root?
Thank you.
You can't delete system apps without root.
Unfortunately with root i keep getting reboots.
Shame cannot be solved. I used Chainfire Root but reboots are random.
Make sure you use a correct root file.
What is your device type and product name?
Unfortunately you can't free up any space without root. I also have 24gb free space, but I solved my problem with a 64GB sandisk Extreme Plus.
I gave up on rooting my SM-N910H using CF-Auto-Root, random reboots also. Back to stock until another rooting method comes out.
I did double check the file i used for rooting from Chainfire and all the steps as i did wiith the Note 3 i used but this time no luck. I read in forums people with same problem when rooting Note 4.
My phone is the European Free N910F (no Carrier phone company).
Hello,
I updated my galaxy s4 gt-i9500 - Indian exynos version to android lollipop 5.0.1
After the update, the device is very fluidic and I never had any glitch. The update seems to be pretty stable as well. But around 2 weeks after this update I got this problem- my device got factory data reset on its own with everything erased from both internal memory and sd card as well. This happened when my device was kept on a table and when I saw it, it was turning on and then i found that startup screen that comes after the reset. After around 1 week, when I was using my phone a random message appeared on my screen saying "erasing sd card" I was pretty much sure that it was the same problem so I turned off my device, when I turned it on, everything from my sd card was erased, but nothing happened to phone memory. When I went to service centre, they were saying it could be a problem of the update. They seem to be not knowing about the problem and offered me to go back to kitkat. I dont want to go back to kitkat so my last resort was xda-developers. Please help.
What exactly do you want from XDA?
I want a solution to my problem.
I want to know what is happening with my deviceand a possible solution for my problem.
Hi all, my Note 3 is an SCL22 AU Japan. I have to inform you that I'm no expert with unlocking, rooting, and other technicalities involved when getting my phone to work. I just really need it to be unlocked and properly work without freezing, restarting, etc.
It's been around 8 months now since I used some guy's modded firmware (or whatever it's called, newbie here) Chinese SM900D through skype and had him teach me to root and unlock my Note 3. It was a success, and I had rooted and unlocked my Note 3. Now I am experiencing issues with Nova Launcher Prime, sometimes it just freezes and I am left with no choice but to force restart. Also, it restarts from time to time (already formatted my SD, unmounted and mounted). The restart is really quick, more like a fast boot or something.
Since it's been around 8 months or so since I rooted and unlocked it, I was wondering if there may be some new firmware or new method I can use to prevent the problems I am currently having. Can anyone point me to a newbie friendly and updated thread that may help me? I really liked this phone before, but now it's like it's dying and I want to save it. Any help is appreciated. Thank you all!
Hi
I have a Huawei ascend G7 purchased in the UK from “Carphone warehouse” who seem to have been the only UK supplier of this model
The model is G7-L01
Android 4.4.4
EMUI 3.0
Custom version CUSTC432D001
My problem is a few banking apps I rely on have now stopped working as their updated versions insist on android 5 or higher
There has never been an OTA update for this phone since I purchased It
The only official ROMS listed on their website I can find seem to be for the G7-L11
I contacted Huawei support who confirmed that the particular model and custom version I have has no official updates newer than I am currently running and there no planned updates for it.
What are my options for getting this phone upgraded ? if possible I’d like to go with a stock ROM. could I use one from another region ?
Although I’ve had lots of phones in the past that I’ve put custom ROMS on I’ve always tried to keep this phone as stock because the same banking apps I rely on wouldn’t work properly on my last phone because they detected it had been rooted.
Searching these forums I’ve found a few guides but nothing for the particular custom version I have. I don’t know if this matters ? I don’t want to risk bricking it with an incompatible ROM
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer
OK this is weird.
3+ years of no OTA updates. I enquire with Huawei and am told there are none and it is out of support.
Less than a week later and I'm being offered an OTA update.
Staggering coincidence ?
Only thing is it is reporting that I should download and do an SD card update instead of an OTA update as it is detecting that my device has been "modified".
I seem to recall I unlocked it a long time ago to try and root it but the root was unsuccessful.
Update is Android 5.1
EMUI 3.1
G7-L01C432B350CUSTC43D002
I just need to find it somewhere :-/

Hi,
I also got this update notification on Saturday night. I have had this phone for 2 years now and never got a OTA notification until 2 days ago. The phone was working great, good battery life after 2 years and good performance. I use it mainly for youtube, whatsapp, some browsing, music, and calling.
Well, decided that updating to 5.1 would be a good idea but it hasnt. I cannot make any calls (phone disconnects and connects constantly to the mobile network, so every 2 seconds the "only emergency calls" message pops up and doesnt let me make calls). Same for receiving calls, when someone calls me it rings for 2 seconds and then it appears that call has been hung up, then it rings again, 2 seconds and hang up again... the constants connections and disconnections are drainning my battery (from 100% to 7% in 1.5 hours). Contacts didnt work and also messages either. As you go into one of them, it kicks you out of the list to the main screen. Of course this issue affects Data Mobile; I cannot use my phone internet unless its by Wifi.
Going into airplane mode stopped drainning problem plus contacts and messages are working now, but as soon as you turn airplane mode off you wont be able to go into contacts or messages/signal problems back.
Nothing of this happened when I had 4.4.4 version, so its clearly a software issue. Im gonna try doing a hard reset/factory defaults, since I could backup my contacts. And if this doesnt solve the problem, I think the best idea would be custom ROM/go back to 4.4.4.
This is a good phone, if good software is installed on it. It can last some more years.

Hi. I had exactly the same problems on my moms Ascend G7. She updated that OTA and mobile network got constantly shut off and on again. I solved it by doing a backup by Huawei HiSuite over PC. And then reflashed version 340 again manually (instructions at Huawei-Blog). Mobile networks are working again after flash but phone is still not working 100% correct. She gets randomly her mic muted in most calls, or recently her "back" button in navbar disappeared today...?
I'll either downgrade to 4.4.4 version or try lineage os soon.

I solved it too! In my case I backed up my contacts to the micro SD card and did factory wipe/reset from the recovery menu (by restarting and pressing vol+ + power). I had all my data in my micro SD card so there wasnt any need to backup or anything. After doing this factory reset everything is working fine: phone signal, calls, contacts, messages, battery life, etc. I installed back the few apps I had and now everything fine, even performance is good! same as in 4.4.4. Im gonna stick with lollipop for a while, If I find any issue itll be time for a custom ROM or downgrade to 4.4.4
Cheers:good:
Hey you know how to to root g7l01
Hi recently i have tried to root and install twrp for my mi a1 I had a lot of issues but i finally got twrp installed. Once twrp was installed it was all fine but when i tried to install magisk and root my phone my wifi slider would not go on. So i flashed the stock rom with mi flash this is when the problems began. Any stock rom i tried to flash would just put the phone into a bootloop. There was one rom that i had installed that worked however my sim card was no longer detected. I tried to ota update to 8.1 to see if that would fix the sim card issue but as soon as i updated with ota the phone would start bootlooping again. I then installed twrp again and tried a custom rom instead same issue the phone will just keep bootlooping. Its been a couple days now pretty much non stop trying to fix this phone but nothing i have tried is working and im going to need my phone soon i dont care what rom i have i just need a working phone. All help is greatly appreciated. PS my sim card slot is stuck and wont open so i cant try a different sim card but the sim card was working before i reverted to android 8 stock rom. Thanks guys.
