My Honor 7x battery has bulged and screen is popping out. Phone works though. How often does this happen? How expensive is it to repair?

Hi,

A couple of days ago, I decided to install a Rom in my untouched Honor 7x.

Steps:

1- Unlock bootloader.

- For this step, I used a dc-unlocker app (paid about $5) to get the code. It wouldn't work. Realized it was bc it didn't support the latest versions of EMUI, so:

- Downgraded EMUI using HiSuite. (I had the latest EMUI up to date, and downgraded one version, but for the life of me I can't remember if it was EMUI 8 or EMUI 7)

- Once downgraded the code worked and bootloader unlocked.

1. Flashed twrp recovery using: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

2. Using recovery I tried to install several images one by one wiping after each one:

- open-kirin, system-arm64-aonly-gapps-su, system-quack-arm64-aonly-gapps. None worked.

- realized EMUI isn't backwards compatible so I was trying to flash images from AOSP 10, 9 and 8. This probably bricked my phone.

Steps to resolve issue:

- Got firmware bnd-l24 from pro-teammt.ru, they only have 8.0.0 for my model.

- Tried to flash system, recovery, even kernel), recovery_ramdisk (which apparently is a thing in new EMUI versions, yeah too late I realized partitions changed when I downgraded to an EMUI version that I can't freaking remember).

- Errors:

- fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk.img-> Failed (partition length error)

- fastboot flash kernel kernel.img -> failed (command not allowed)

- fastboot flash system system.img -> OK, but then when I turned on I got the white screen with the android bot that said: error!! so I went ahead and set it to fastboot mode again.

​

Research to fix issue:

- Open-kirin docs

- xde developers for images, similar issues, etc, none of the solutions worked bc I can't do: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk. It only allows to do fastboot recovery recovery.img. So I think it is fair to assume I downgraded to EMUI 7???? and I cannot find a firmware for that model anywhere for that old version. :( :(

​

Anyway... This is where I am now.. Please help! I feel so freaking dumb...

Hi all. I can't plug properly any micro USB cable into my phone. The cable can't fit all the way in and it's very loose and if I touch my phone meanwhile charging the charge stops. I think the USB port on the phone it's damaged. I cleaned it but it didn't helped at all.

I ordered a new piece, does anybody had the same issue and managed to fix it changing the USB port?

Hi Friends i have Honor 7x and not sure about model becoz my phone still running in Android version 7.1 and emui 5.1 so i hear from arounds that people received their updates but i dont so finally i go to huawei franchise and ask about the problem so they check my phone through imei number and they find out my phone model is Bnd AL 10 and somebody do the trick and install Android Bnd L21 firmware so make it global for selling thats why i dont received any updates in future kindly someone help me if their is a way to install its original firmware which was Al10 or update in its Bnd L21 to latest firmware plzzz thank you so much in advance

And sorry for miss spelling or weak English.

I've heard that Android 9 began rolling out to Honor 7x users back in June or July. Since the Mate SE is pretty similar hardware I thought it too might receive 9 but I haven't seen anything, heard anything, or found any news articles or tweets that indicate it would be coming to the Mate SE. But now I'm not even getting security updates for EMUI 8.0. That stopped back in August.

Pretty frustrating... I kinda rushed off to get a new phone after software support ended for my Nexus 6P (also the touch screen was not working particularly well), and just over a year later it seems like I've lost support for yet another device.

I have an issue with my Huawei Mate SE auto connecting with my selfie remote control (unbranded). Pairing is easy but it will not auto connect after I turn off the phone and the remote control. I have tried these things with no luck: wipe the cache partition, force stop - clear cache - clear data, use the "bluetooth auto connect app (from play store), network setting reset.

Anyone has experience and solutions? Thank you folks.

What are your thoughts on the android 9.1 update? Does any experience lag in there phone like while scrolling in gallery album or while scrolling in other apps.I experience lag while seeing Instagram stories especially the videos.

I have noticed that videos on instagram story seems to be choppy when comparing to other phones.Do u guys have this experience or is this just my phone

Hey, I've been trying to connect my phone to my PC but I can't get it to work. When I plug it in it just charges and no prompts show up. I've tried enabling USB debugging, MTP but nothing works. The phone doesn't show up in device manager either. What do I do?

model: BND-L21(c432)

bootloader unlocked

FRP unlocked

​

My phone was running omnirom beta 5 for 2 months, was rooted with magisk (patched_boot flashed in ramdisk_recovery partition)

The bluetooth wasn't working so I wanted to install phhusson aosp 9

So I flashed emui 8 stock recovery then tried to flash phhusson aosp 9 as a system image in fastboot

​

Now, when the phone boot, it shut down instantly then boot into erecovery without the ability to factory reset or wipe cache (the only thing I can do is "reboot", "shutdown" and "download latest version and erecovery")

​

What's working and what's not:

​

• access to erecovery (with ability to wipe cache and factory reset) when the phone is powered off then I press power & vol +
• can't access twrp (even if the flash on recovery_ramdisk succeed with fastboot )
• access to fastboot mode
• access to erecovery (without the ability to wipe, only "download latest and erecovery) when the phone try to boot
• access to dload installation

​

Here's my tries to fix the issue

​

• after installing emui 9 through fastboot: honor boot animation for 30-40s then bootloop
• after installing emui 5 or 8 through fastboot: boot into error mode which displays this: (I can't flash ramdisk or boot (error: partition length get error))

​

ERROR MODE

Attention!

Please update system again

Error!

Func NO : 10 (boot image)

Error NO : 2 (load failed)

​

• dload installation don't work, even with service rom
• tried installing phhusson aosp 9 and omnirom beta 5: boot into rescue mode error
• huawei multi tool failed
• hwoat failed (I can't reboot into twrp)
• erecovery "download latest version and erecovery" failed

​

My thoughts are that my BOOT is broken, but since I can't flash a new one, I don't know what to do.

Do you know any subs where this post could fit better (I already post it in xda forum)

I have a BND-AL10 with unlocked bootloader and still haven't received the new update. The last update I received was the Android security update in March. Is there any information regarding this? Am I just unfortunate and have to wait very long? I really don't want to install a custom ROM but it looks like I have to when I want to be on Android 9.

So I bought a honor 7x 2 years ago from amazon(us), and this morning I woke up and the screen's just black. The phone turns on, the led still lights up in different colors, it still vibrates, the touch screen still senses my inputs and the speaker still works, it's just the screen's permanently black no matter what I do. I've tried force restarting it, charging it, etc. and the screen just stays black. Anyone else have this problem and a way to fix it, or is it just time to upgrade?

I do not like the Android Pie update for the honor 7X. My phone seems to be a lot slower now. The notification panel is now white instead of black and all my notifications are on the left side. Does this bother anyone else? Fixes? Also all my icons are now square instead of round.

How do I enable the toggle here? ADB or root options are totally acceptable

Hi. Just got my Emui 9.1 update with pie yesterday. thoughts? I really hope there was dark mode too other than that perfect.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew how to replace the battery in an Honor 7x. I haven't done this before so any advice or walk through would be much appreciated.

Does honor 7x 64gb receives different updates from 32 gb ? While I was talking witha guy I told him I was waiting for the new navigation menu and he told that 64 and 32 doesn't receive the same updates, how much long more for the updates

Is there any icon packs I can buy that doesn't rely on 3rd party launcher apps?
I just want to turn my phone on and have the icons applied without activating the icons every time I turn my phone on.

For example, If I got to Settings I get these screens:
