Hi! I installed B596 om my phone, seems fine to me but i can´t install twrp 3.1.0-0, doesn´t boot! Only twrp3.0.2-0 seems to be working.

On B594 TWRP 3.1.0-0 works fine, what can be doing this?

Thanks in advance!

Forget it! I found a working twrp 3.1.0-0!

You have region C185 Middle east if I am not wrong and this update is for region C432 EU so sorry you can't update....... Try converting to EU region if you want this update to work
[P8lite General] Triptamine:
Is there anyway to confirm that?
[P8lite General] Vinnipinni:
Flash TWRP, boot into it, download the Firmware package and do NOT extract it. It should be an Update.zip. Simply flash that file with TWRP. Make a Backup before. If it doesn't work, wipe everything but Internal Storage and try to flash. Just don't forget your backup.

EDIT: this is a bit messy.

1. Flash TWRP

2. Make full Backup of everything

3. Wipe Everything but Data and Internal

4. Flash the downloaded update.zip

5. Boot into system.

If someone goes wrong, just restore your backup.

If it doesn't work, you could try to also wipe data and Internal Storage, usually this is not required, but who knowsm

[P8lite General] hbilalshah:
Hey [MENTION=7063184]sokkoban[/MENTION],

I've been using this rom for a week now and here are the issues and bugs I've found so far.

1) Driving mode didn't worked

2) There was no option for disabling the hide navbar button

3) Camera lacked the online translation modes

4) Phone Manager was not chinese version.

Then you made a post to fix the driving mode issue by changing some values in local.prop

" ro.config.hw_opta=432 =>999

ro.config.hw_optb=999=>156 "

Now this thing fixed all of those issues, driving mode worked, we got the chinese version of Phone manager ( Optimization did't worked but that's okay for me ), Online translation modes appeared in camera, option appeared to disable the hide navbar button, Multiwindow mode I fixed myself as I had made a whitelist with every android application available in market you could rarely find an application that isn't supported by Multiwindow, in short the ROM became awesome for me. but then after 2 days I find out that after changing those values in local.prop all 5 modes of motion control stopped working and that is a big issue. Is there a way I can make them work again without reverting back those values in local.prop ...???

Thanks in advance.

Hey sokkoban , can you recommend us a version of xposed that works perfect with your last custom P8 Lite ALE-L21C432B596 v1. from 5th April ?

I installed rom, all works great, but I dont want to have problems with installing official version and if dialer crashes or something doesnt work... you know... If you can tell us the version that works great without any bugs , I will appreciate that.

Thanks in advance man, continue with great work. :)

[P8lite General] Vinnipinni:
Xposed magisk is stupid and useless anyway. It takes a longer time to boot, some tweaks won't work and it breaks security net anyways. Use the normal one and if you need security net you can just uninstall it.

What's the latest rom Honor 4c has, and if it's the same, why huwei isn't developing 1 rom for both phones?
[P8lite General] kilroystyx:
In the stock rom B596/B597 is not possible enable Light painting mode and OTG.
[P8lite General] miststudent2011:
The latest ROM available for HONOR 4C in my region is Honor 4C_Firmware_CHM-U01_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.0_C675B530

but it is available only through manual update not as OTA .

---------- Post added at 06:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 AM ----------

Even on my honor 4C (B530) MM OTG is not available by default I enabled it through ROOT and modifying Build prop file, but in KK and LP it is available by default need to just enable the option in settings.:confused:

[P8lite General] Vinnipinni:
Yeah and don't forget to use an OTG-Y Cable. You NEED external power supply.
[P8lite General] miststudent2011:
I am using otg pen drive it doesn't require any external power supply but for normal pendrives you might need otg-y cable.
[P8lite General] Vinnipinni:
You are on P8 Lite right? So you just confirmed what I was since a long time, but Nobody believes me.
[P8lite General] miststudent2011:
Actually I am using Honor 4C with P8 Lite ROM(B596).
[P8lite General] kilroystyx:
You are saying that in your phone Honor 4C with P8 Lite ROM (B596) stock and rooted you only need add two lines in the build.prop and that's all to get OTG working?
[P8lite General] allrightlite:
So I can use a SSD with external power? But the speed is limited on USB 2.0, right? So we can max. get 40MB/s. But that's ok.
[P8lite General] D1stRU3T0R:
I read somewhere that honor phone can be modified to use otg but sadly, p8lite can't, I hope I'm wrong :d

[P8lite General] allrightlite:
I won't test it, sry (using LOS14.1, Android 7.1.2). But I could test it, because I have an old USB connection, OTG cable and old SSD. But I think it's the same possible as would you use pc data connection, too.
[P8lite General] miststudent2011:
zip file provided in OP and also tested it on twrp backup provided by OP

This mean your partition data was not touched by the B596, you still have the same as your previous rom, I suppose it was B530, right?

No, I made a clean flash by wiping all partitions before flashing new ROM

Well it definitely adds the option to the settings. Can't test it though.
[P8lite General] kilroystyx:
-Because you are in different region, not in C432, your model number shows hi6210sft instead of ALE-L21, this mean CUST partition is not accessed by your current SW. You can flash EU Location to solve this issue.

-In your device NFC is working?

-OTG, two lines suggested by you add the option in the settings as user devler mention, but still not working, could you upload a pic with explorer accessing OTG device?
[P8lite General] miststudent2011:
Have you tried edited correct command I have updated today.

My device doesn't support NFC hardware issues.

As I have made a clean flash my partitions would be definitely changed

Because you are in different region, not in C432, your model number shows hi6210sft instead of ALE-L21, this mean CUST partition is not accessed by your current SW. You can flash EU Location to solve this issue.

What does this mean in what sense does location is relevant to update .
[P8lite General] kilroystyx:
Thank you to share USB drive screenshot, seems to be everything works fine with OTG, luck you, but even both devices have same uP and same main board, OTG only works in the 4C, unfortunately for P8lite owners.

-Because you are using B596 that is specific for C432 location, when you flash the SW you loose your location, not gain a new one :(

check what you have now dialing in the dial pad *#*#2846579#*#*

In the ProjectMenu select option

3. Network Information Query

Then

4. Vender Country Info

If shows:

Vender: hw

Country: eu

You are fine for SW B596 :)

If not, you have to to flash zip made by sokkoban to get europe location, find in his blog, then you get correct model number for this SW. Europe location allow your device now read well the file local.prop located in /hw_oem that is a link to /system/hw_oem/ALE-L21/prop/

If you don't like see ALE-L21 in your phone edit this file.

Other place that can define the model is in the build.prop file, for P8lite the line ro.product.model is set to hi6210sft by default, you can edit the line as you wish.

Be careful if you decide edit these files, an irregular change can soft brick your device, to recover from there you can backup the original file first, and in case of needed replace with one with wrong data using file manager from TWRP, after coping don't forget set right permission too, 0644 or rw-r--r--
[P8lite General] miststudent2011:
Oh thank you.

On dialing *#*#2846579#*#* I got a message as vendor info country file not found.

Actually my friend too has the same mobile without any modifications with stock b530 even for him too on dialing *#*#2846579#*#* gives the same message I got.

I don't know why the the vendor file is missing from both devices.

Previously I flashed vendor info file of Europe region for Europe update but it caused network instability so I reverted and edited build prop file to change my device model number but currently I felt it is not necessary so I left it like that. Is it that important?
[P8lite General] miststudent2011:
Try this method for otg

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69580194&postcount=38
[P8lite General] kilroystyx:
Shouldn't be a big issue, because everything works.

Probably the device certification status is uncertified, when you turn on the Bluetooth show weird name...

Sorry but didn't help, thanks anyway

Are you familiar with the Smartcare apk?

This apk worth it?
[P8lite General] miststudent2011:
No idea regarding the app from where did you get that app can you share the apk ? of the app.

Also can you share the dialer apk with call recording feature tried to extract from our ROM but it is causing error , need it to install it on my friends phone with stock B530.

And also how to check whether device is certified or not.

PS:You will get OTG option in smart assistance menu not in Developers options you need to enable it inorder to use OTG ;)
[P8lite General] Szauko:
TWRP

Can i flash it using twrp?
[P8lite General] p8tgames:
No. You can restore it in TWRP
[P8lite General] kilroystyx:
Yes, I know how to activate OTG on the settings menu, as you can see in the pic enclosed :)

Related to Smartcare, I thought it was a apk that comes with Honor 4C ROMs, but if you don’t recognize this mean that can be from other device, like CAM or CHE2

To have this apk working you need unzip the file HwIntelligent.zip and copy to the following location:

/system/priv-app/

Grant the right permissions:

0755 to folders =>

HwIntelligent

lib

arm64

0644 to files =>

HwIntelligent.apk

libtbtv3312.so

libTrafficRadar.so

libumetrip.so

Reboot and then you can access to apk via Settings/Smart assistance or just click in the lamp located in the slide menu/Notifications area/upper right corner, see pic enclosed.

How to check device certification status

Play Store => Settings => Scroll to end of the page and Certified or Uncertified is there

Check pics enclosed, they can also guide you.

Related to call recording

You should give a try of sokkoban’s ROM, everything is enabled or user can easily enable it with less effort, if you google with following name you find the link to download V2

ALE-L21C432B596_MOD_TWRP_By_sokoban_V2

In case you prefer remain in stock ROM, bellow you can find the process that I follow to enable Call Recorder

1. Open your app Recorder and press on the button Recordings, on the top you see only "Normal"

2. Then install following apk as regular apk and accept all permissions => Link

3. If necessary enable "Unknown sources" to allow install non-official apps

4. Check again your app Recorder, press on the button Recordings, on the top you see now "Normal" and "Calls"

5. So far so good, but nothing is working yet...

6. Install following Zip via TWRP => Link

7. It's done

8. Should be possible enable record automatically
[P8lite General] miststudent2011:
Hey thanks for the detailed post. For the final time format your otg as FAT32 and check it.

Coming to my problem, currently I am on ALE-L21C432B596_MOD_TWRP_By_sokoban_V2 itself but the problem is by default the call recoding is disabled but when I try to enable it ,it just closes itself with out any message and the cycle repeats.

That's the reason I asked for apk of dialer ,Need to flash the app and have to verify the results.

And for device certification there is no such option in play store settings,my play store app is up to date.

Don't know why ?

About multi screen, is it possible enable it on your B596?

Call record

Light painting mode in camera

Eye comfort

SWS Mode

Multi Window

OTG

Multi User

Cover Screen

Gyroscope enabled

Rise to ear (Raise to ear to answer or make calls)

Also can you please add FTP option and dt2w feature?

---------- Post added at 06:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 AM ----------

Are you done with OTG or can we dive little deeper to get the solution?

Why cant you once give a try with B530 ROM on P8 lite?

As it is supporting by default on 4C might be any extra lib functions present in it?.
[P8lite General] sokkoban:
Call record - included

Light painting mode in camera - included

Eye comfort - included

SWS Mode - included

Multi Window - included

OTG - NOT supported by hardware => I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it's not supported by hardware!

Multi User - included

Cover Screen - included

Gyroscope enabled - enabled

Rise to ear (Raise to ear to answer or make calls) - included

Also can you please add FTP option and dt2w feature? - never saw this option in C432 ROM's
[P8lite General] miststudent2011:
Coming to FTP it is not present in Huawei stock ROMs but i came to known that it can be implemented on EMUI, Coming to double tap to wake i have seen that feature on some custom ROMs like LIneageOS

And also does it support Adoptive Storage?
[P8lite General] kilroystyx:
Yes, I'll try B530, no problem, but I don't expect extra libs for OTG start working, otherwise you can't have OTG working in your device with P8 lite ROM, this is HW issue...
[P8lite General] NeedleGames:
OTG solution enables it in settings but it doesn't work.
[P8lite General] sokkoban:
If you are a Linux user, you have a FULL of my respect! I'm a Linux Mint happy user :D
[P8lite General] kilroystyx:
As expected no OTG working on B530.

ROM is nice and smooth as P8 lite ROMs

Boot logo change from Huawei to Honor :)

A couple of new apps, like SOS, that sounds good to me, I will try implement in B598, and a lot of combinations of navigation buttons that are also fine to implement in B598 :good::good::good:
[P8lite General] miststudent2011:
Oh Thats nice did you dirty flash or clean flash the ROM?

As on stock B530 Rom I cant see permission manager option in settings and also I cant find navigation bar settings.(pic 7 and 9 from your attached SS)
[P8lite General] kilroystyx:
I've been doing a lot of changes and some tests...

In the local.prop I changed the following values:

old

ro.config.hw_opta=636

ro.config.hw_optb=999

new

ro.config.hw_opta=999

ro.config.hw_optb=156

This is to have an option to hide navigation bar, I didn't tested if permission manager works, and I can't check it because I moved to B598
[P8lite General] Audriuskins:

Add following line in the local.prop file located in /cust/hw/eu/prop/ and reboot

ro.config.soft_lock_enable=true

[P8lite General] NeedleGames:
Nope, it's KDE Neon. So far the best linux software repository (not distro by itself but rather ubuntu with kde software) I've ever used.

But I'm thinking about moving to something easier. This is easy to use but I only feel comfortable when I understand how the OS works completely - something that is too complicated for me with KDE Neon.

Can someone please guide me how to port eye comfort to B530 as B596 is causing network instability in my region. If there is no way to port eye comfort at least someone guide me how to get proper network.

If you wanna do some tests in your Honor 4C with B598 (not B596) adapted for your region try this:

- Flash B598

- Flash Europe location

- Root with magisk

In the TWRP:

- Wipe Dalvik, cache and data

- Restore this backup => Link

- Root again with magisk
