I feel the backup pain, however - the difference between data backup (easy) versus full system backup - really is it necessary? Or just a "want to" item? (you have to answer that one for yourself...) AFA the ROMS list, there is a good write up over on Crackberry about that...

Note for clarity: carrier level unlocking does NOT affect rooting the phone (other than making it a pita to update). Sent from my H1611 using Tapatalk

If they weren't on clearance for $40, I couldn't justify it either. Probably can't anyway with moving and all, but still... Sent from my H1611 using Tapatalk

Doing the "shuffle" ain't real cool. If it were just hitting AT&T and Huawei you might (!) Have the moral high ground . But much as I am no fan of Wally-World, the shuffle costs them money, and so, not cool. Trying to get by to pick up a new H1611 since they supposedly have them on clearance...

Not too worried about that part myself, since I use GoPhone... but I understand that. Just wish we were the customer and not the merchandise being sold on most of these types of phones... Sent from my H1611 using Tapatalk

One just down the street shows 4. I may go get one to have a virgin (and a back up) Thank you very much for the heads up!

reloaded 170 full version on and it worked fine. Need to clean it up, as it threw the bloat back on - but didn't lose anything. Unfortunately, between 2 jobs, and moving (working on new house now, move in a couple weeks, then work on old house to sell it) I'm not seeing much time in my future...

ATT sent B180 down... And of course, overnight, my phone tried to update - and is now stuck in a boot loop with TWRP. Yay. Hope everyone else is having a better day.

Since I load all the Blackberry stuff on to mine, and I want as skinny as possible - I'd rather have next to nothing onboard. The only tools I like are the phone manager, the dialer, and the camera (although simpler dialer is growing on me)

Same method as clsa did so far as I can tell. Used supersu and flashed the update app. Since mine has done odd things since it was new with regards to taking updates, I was hoping for something different. Don't have anything much to add, just confirmation that partial updating appears to be a...

Troll semantics ? Maybe "limping" would be a better description... [emoji12] Sent from my H1611 using Tapatalk

Just for S'n'G I tried running the update app - got 170 running, but with the same ol' no wifi bug going on. took 5 reboots before it finally took off... even so - no wifi... So, back to 160 I went - stable again. SuperBrolySSJ - that would be really cool if you can get the backup of the...

Interesting. H1611 is in there (use search feature). Hoping beyond hope and wish I had more time to do something with it.

I was worried that might be the case - gotta "sacrifice a virgin" each time to get the rest of us updated. Have I mentioned that I hate sloppy code? (looking squarely at you, Huawei and ATT) Thanks for the effort!

as I said earlier - /cache/fotapkg/

that is the file sent down from ATT to the phone. I have unzipped it and looked at it as well -it's 209MB unzipped. Contains the following files and drawers: cust.new cust.patch cust.transfer system.new system.patch system.transfer UPDATE.APP (drawer) META-INF (drawer) com...

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AkvKyEBneZGLjuQ44wo1pwjtdbgOCA OneDrive link to file package_temp.zip should be 102 mb in size. Got it using Total Commander. It seems to be better at grabbing root files than Ghost was. Also, one other note - I modified the permissions from root root to everyone so that...

When I get it I'll get all that as well. The ATT update note calls it B160_B170_SMR_100 , I hit continue when I tried to hit "remind me later" - but it redownloaded. Ghost Commander shows nothing in the /cache - odd - so I don't know where it's actually sticking it. I'm searching for it...

working on grabbing it now. Tried grabbing it - and messed up and got past the waiting part - it tried to update and (of course) failed. I'll give it another shot shortly.

got the notice for update at noon today - but alas, I have mine rooted so it tried to update, and then reset and is back at 160. and yes, was really hoping beyond hope for some Nougat...

Thanks for explanation of the update. I saw it pop up at noon today on my phone, and couldn't find anything on it - the att website only showed 160 for me... waiting for a rooted update.

I finally got fed up enough with all the crap, and loaded this on last night. THANK YOU! My extremely horrid battery life has doubled today - I have 200+ extra megs of ram, and 2gb of additional space - all while using the same items and at about the same usage level as what I have been. For...

Normally no, the phone manufacturera are the ones that will/won't upgrade. I imagine that there are several factors that drive this. Total number of units out there, chipset and other included components (for drivers) similar phone compatibility (more installed base), type of user base. I...

He did, but after whichever one, after that none have worked... which means that it may well not be related to the flashing roms, but something else. It was just a thought to eliminate one other piece that could cause it and narrow it back to a software issue.

I'd suspect something else. Have you tried a different sim card? My BBRY Z10 did that a long time ago. New Sim cured it. And no, it never said that the sim was bad. Just no calls. Sent from my H1611 using Tapatalk

YOU SIR ARE A GENIUS! I now have B160 working and everything seems to be working so far... the wifi issue is fixed! THANK YOU!

You mean like printing it off and using it as a checklist? Because that's what I did last night. Did it exactly that way the first 3 times - and then attempted to let the phone update itself via OTA - by the way, the files are exactly the same size... so something in the phone doesn't think...

Re: root. I'll ask you that. I have unlocked it from code from Huawei, used TWRP on it, superSU on it (had to to get it to boot up) and currently have the unrooted minimal b150 loaded as os. But I had also tried it with bare naked b150 and it ran with that as well. When it fails to update...

Except that it fails on update. Every. Time. I got "onto this thread" because of attempting to roll back the 160 update ( that I apparently somehow succeeded to do and got it back to b150 so I had the wifi back and a stable os) Heck, it is even OTA downloading the b160 update even though I...

Thanks for the thought. I did this (actually more than once) last night. Half the time when I would wipe /data, it still wouldn't allow me to check the box to over-write it - and also came up with "/data not found" type errors. The full backup replacement file (mine AND the one someone...

My midstream 160 update OTA last week and then going to 150, has made this very problematic. I can't get the 160 update to go at all, and it acts for all the world like it's already there - but if I use 160, my wifi is gone. On 150 it works. Had a few scares tonight trying several iterations on...

B160 overall is not broken. It was/is broken for me because it wouldn't WiFi, and now won't ota back on to my phone. Overall though, it was running stable prior to *me* breaking it. Sent from my H1611 using Tapatalk

Seems to be at this point. I tried to update by rolling up a day, and it says I'm up to date via the OTA updater - but it is still showing B150.

TWRP to put the B150 stock boot recovery (many thanks to you for that btw) and B150 stripped stock rom onto it (thanks to you again!) It did wipe everything in the doing, but I'm ok with that - I was trying to get most of the crap off it anyway. It's now showing B150 in every place I know...

I did get it to roll back and have WiFi on b150 again. Waiting to update until I get done with the debloat. Sent from my H1611 using Tapatalk

It appears that they may have done something with the wifi driver. I did a bad thing and was trying to load the stripped stock rom on to my phone after the update - everything else is working - phone radios, bluetooth - and seemingly everything else, but the wifi refuses to turn on. Trying...

Mine just updated. Haven't had a chance to see what changes are - but it does still run ok so far... still no moving apps to sd card native... grrr.

Thanks, I'll take a look for it.

I got one of these. It came in yesterday. Along with the tempered glass. Glass went on nicely. Case did too. It adds some overall bulk but feels very solid on the phone. My only gripe about it is the relative lack of tactile feel for the power button on the side. But overall it was worth...

another +1 on the 128gb. You may want to check Wal-Mart - they had the Samsung Evo 128gb cards marked down to $37. here. Now if we could just move apps out to there...

Thank you for the thorough explanation. Nice to know the terrain of what we have to work with. Now if we could get into that EMUI and open up the ext cards - I have 128gb card just sitting there loafing - while the internal ram is just stuffed near full... I get why (or rather, what they...

Thanks! Still trying to get my noodle around the OS and what does what. This still gives much more room that the pitiful amount the OEM allows us out of the box.

Hi, Pardon my ignorance, but I am coming back to Android after several years away. The Ascend XT seems to lock all the apps in the internal 16gb, instead of letting anything reside out on the SD card. Does going to the Bare_Naked ROM open that up so that you can install apps out on the SD?

Hi, been reading about this on the dev side, and apparently, since I don't have 10 posts, I can't ask about any kind of update. I know that with 4.0.3, one could root the HKC p771a. With 4.0.4, HKC did something to prevent it. I tried the methods described there, and a couple of other...

I just got an old Palm 750 for ATT that I used successfully with my sim card... but it came with WM5, and I wanted to update it to WM6 (ATT 2.25) ... seems simple, right? Well, after finally finding the update (not so simple, due to Palm and MS being pissy at each other) I tried to run the...
