Hopefully you made a TWRP backup before you started messing with stuff, if not, you may be out of luck until they release a factory image. Good news, I did upload my build.prop for you to try and see if it fixes it. https://mega.co.nz/#!1lBmiDba!IaQGyOCQUFS1zPGfBKmQkC--DLoQMml3I1rGscFwTaQ Good luck.

Rooted but no System R/W

I used towelroot to root my sgp561, SuperSu works, TB works at freezing apps, but i can not get busybox to install because it does not have read/write access to the system neither can i edit build.prop once i make changes to it save and reboot the changes are reverted back to default like i didnt even change anything. Any ideas?

You didn´t mentioned which firmware you are currently but generally you can have system r/w acces by installing @Nut´s XZDualrecovery. Link is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2794175
It disable SonyRic which is to blame that you don´t have system write acces. You could also try to flash this in custom recovery (TWRP) which just put @Nut rickiller script´s to correct places: https://mega.co.nz/#!EEwwyTCK!A9mukPNmnuULXCXaU_mmwmvfxLXxythip2PGqd-u4DI.

I'm running 17.1.d.0.437 and bootloader is locked since it is Verizon model and not able to load a custom recovery. So by not being able to have a custom recovery the reason? I have a locked bootloader on my note 3 and able to have root without issues. I know different devices.
edit: Just notice that link you sent is for locked bootloader. never saw that post. I look at it. Thanks

Stuck in Bootloop post Font Installer (root) by Jrummy Apps

Mates, am an idiot, Thanks.
Am on Jelly Bean rooted, thought i would install fonts since stock are boring, i had tried ifonts too but they didn't work.
So i grabbed a free copy Fonts installer root by Jrummy apps https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer&hl=en
i selected a font, it asked and it backed up my stock fonts. Then I installed the desired font, but it won't get past Huawei logo.
I tried adb but it's says unauthorised though I see the device number. Google couldn't help.
I was hoping to intsall stock fonts via adb, possible or how else?
Don't have twrp and it does boot into bootloader screen, where it says boot loader status unlocked. I read related forums but can't seem
to lock on which way is better?
Help please

Did that, not working.
then try this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2886630
And remember root is double side sword, you should have backup before play as root.
Is there anyway to change fonts through the entire operating system? Not Dpi. Has anyone had success. I have tried iFonts, font installer by jrummy apps, then via xposed, but no success. Am on 4.3, B148.

I'm not sure, but I think the Huawei Themes let you change the font?
Not happening, here, atleast. Thanks though.

I bricked my phone by formating the internal storage

I bricked my phone.
h850 open bootloader. i tried to format the internal storage. didnt made a backup. now it wants a password and my own one doesnt work. is there any chance to repair it?
thank you in advance!
What wants password? TWRP ?
Try to flash the latest v10e KZD file with LGUP.
on a side note: what will happen when all tries are gone? will it erase it self? there is nothing to loose for me if this is the case?!

I dont know that counter your talking about. After restoring a backup from TWRP I got an issue that it wont accept my pin code to enter the phone. I've followed the steps in this link and it deleted the pin code. I hope this will help you. Please post your result. http://www.howtogeek.com/240657/how-to-fix-pin-errors-after-restoring-from-twrp-android-backups/
Please delete ALL 5 files one by one. It worked for me every time.

hm, i dont think that this is the same thing on my phone.
just to clarify what i did:
i flashed no-verity-opt-encrypt-2.1.zip
i erased userdata and cache in fastboot
i flashed LG-H85010E-Flashable.COMPLETE.zip and FLUENCE_HD24_PATCH.zip
and then my problem(screenshot) occurred

I never ever have seen such a screen
But I would guess that something went wrong when flashing 10E or the patch.
I recommend the following:
- Check if TWRP is still installed
- If yes, format data again
- Re-flash SuperSU or no-verity-opt-encrypt-2.1.zip
- Reboot
If you lost TWRP, you have to flash it again, format data etc.
I've done all the steps you have listed few times but never encountered this problem. Can you even access the TWRP menu? Maybe ask Miustone the developer of HD24? Please tell if you can access the TWRP and your files

after formatting data in TWRP the new screen appears, thanks for that. but the bar in the new screen(screenshot) doesn't change.
the button beneath the bar makes the phone going into recovery and format cache.
repair data after format data did the trick! thanks everyone for the fast help!!! love you all

SMS failure after root with Magisk

Hello,
maybe someone would be able to help or explain. Running on 9.1.0.215 (but tried with 9.1.0.210 as well), after I try to root with Magisk (=flash patched recovery_ramdisk), my SMS stop working. I've tried more applications (default 'Messaging', Google 'Messages', also Facebook 'Messenger') but no chance, phone is not able to receive or create any SMS messages. However, everything else is working fine.
I'm pretty sure that it's caused by this activity, because when I flash back original RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img, SMS are back again.
Any ideas what could be wrong? I really like to use Magisk, but unfortunately, it's no go without SMS.
Thanks!
1. Flash stock recovery_ramdisk. (If you already flash magisk patched ramdisk). Stock recovery is needed to factory reset.
2. back up your data.
3. reboot to recovery. Perform factory reset
4. Power off device. Hold volume down, plug usb to boot to bootloader.
5. flash magisk patched recovery ramdisk
6. Reboot by holding power + volume up button.
7. Done

Thanks for hint!
Doing factory reset isn't exactly one's wish, but if there is no other choice I will definitely give it a try. Speaking of backup/restore of apps - can you please give me a hint, what could be the most comfortable way of doing that? I do not care about data - that is easy to backup/restore - but is there any simple way how to avoid manual re-installation of all apps after restore?
Thanks again!

Hi, just to confirm that I had exactly the same problem. To solve it, I had to reinstall the original recovery ramdisk.

When you go through the setup it should suggest it if you've backed up to drive. Otherwise use titanium backup. It saves the apks and works with root

But reinstall original recovery ramdisk means no root, right?
Did you succeed with rooting afterwards, e. g. with factory reset like suggested above?

I haven't tried it, sorry.
I ran into this problem on my honor 9 and in addition to a not working sms-app,the dialer app was broken aswell.
I did find this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/fix-messages-dialer-9-1-root-required-t3955964 and this fixed both issues.
adb shell
su
rm /data/user/0/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/*
rm /data/user/0/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/*
Go back to phone and wipe data of Phone and Messages
Go back to command prompt and:
reboot recovery​

Glad I could help I tried a factory reset and rooted afterwards, but as soon as magisk was flashed, sms stopped working and tons of "access denied" or so errors started to show up in the log.

I unlocked my bootloader last year, when you could get the unlock code from their website. Unlocking your bootloader on Pie with one of those codes should still work.
I don't know, if other unlocking method like dc-unlocker or funkyhuawei will work. Sry

Thank youuuuuu this worked perfectly for me. I had to change the directory name from user to user_de, but once I did that, it was perfect And I didn't even lose my text messages
Oh no This solution worked, but after doing it, I no longer have access to 4G/LTE on my phone. Did this happen to anyone else? Is there a fix for this?
