Dark Side of Oz

Everyone creatively involved says its a big fat coincidence, but still nifty.

Thank you for this

Yeah, tried doing the dark side of the rainbow once, and it works fairly well right in the beginning but quickly starts falling apart.

Considering there's also some disagreement as to when exactly you're supposed to start the album, I think many of the coincidences were noticed and recorded by people stoned off their ass.

The same friend who gave me his Redmi 2 has now lent me his Honor 6x for me to fix. It's so corrupted that a factory reset from recovery mode yields "!". Which means the only option I have is to flash the stock ROM onto this thing through fastboot.

It really doesn't want to. I have tried for a full fucking hour trying to get this thing into fastboot just once. The instructions I followed online say to hold Power + Vol. Up + Vol. Down, then release Power as soon as it turns on. Every time I think it works, it instead boots into this thing's excuse for a recovery.

The worst part is that I've already loaded the stock ROM into an SD card for the phone to detect and flash, and I'm just hoping that I can get it to work just once.

Edit: I've managed to get this thing to enter fastboot. Now it's asking me to open Hisuite, but either a) it requires software to be installed on the phone to work or b) my cables are borked.

Some stock recoveries offer a limited subset of an ADB server.

If it boots into crippled recovery, try connecting to it over ADB, and telling it to reboot into fastboot.

eg:

adb reboot fastboot

The worst that will happen is that the recovery does not provide that function, and it will fail. Nothing really to lose. Try it.


EDIT

If you have fastboot running on the phone, but cannot send a payload, check to be sure that you have the drivers installed properly on your computer, and that you have the full adb software suite available.  there's an executable called fastboot that is used to send payloads to the phone, and is part of the full adb suite.  This is useful for things like "One time only TWRP" and pals.

If you are doing this with a windows computer, there's a useful package available on XDA that installs the full suite, and the drivers for you.

FURTHER EDIT:

This "Hisuite" thing is a Hauwei proprietary thing. Unlike with Samsung devices (because of their elimination of true fastboot mode, and instead using ODIN), you should not need that software at all. The ADB toolset's Fastboot command should be sufficient to send a payload to the device over the USB cable. No muss no fuss.

Code: [Select]

E:\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached

Followed by:

Code: [Select]

E:\platform-tools>adb reboot fastboot
error: no devices/emulators found

Could be nonexistent adb on the other end, or (more likely) broken cables that only transmit power. It's probably the one downside of using a phone that takes USB-C instead of microUSB; you don't bother checking if your microUSB cables work properly.

Fastboot is not ADB!!

Try using fastboot.

Try something like--

fastboot getvar all

for example, to test if the connection is hot.

Can't seem to get my avatars to show, which kind of sucks.

It's currently trying to load "http://http://publicdomainvectors.org/photos/baldmandrinkscoffee.png" if that helps.  It's good you're avoiding https since https links won't load either.  The host might not allow hotlinking so it might be easier to upload your avatar to imgur or similar.

Mildly upset:  I had an unnecessary comma in all three of those sentences.  I've really fallen into that habit again, haven't I.

What commas? There are periods, and from what I see, they are properly placed.

Hmm, imgur doesn't work either. Oh well. Thanks anyways.

Sadly, it doesn't seem to work either. Thanks for pointing it out, though. Didn't notice I accidentally put it twice.
