Wow that is awesome reply, thanks so much, I'll give a shot tomorrow and let you know. Cheers
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] smokiedawson:
Hi, the security patch level is 5 may 2017.

I have downloaded the file and put onto sd card. It was the update.app file that was extracted. It was in a folder called dload but just copy pasted the update.app file.

I try to do local update and it cant find it. Says...unable to find update package. Please download the package and copy to your sd card or the /dload directory in your internal storage.

Not sure what to do, i have just over 4gb on phone storage avail, should i do the /dload update?
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] GaT7:
Ok, so that's like the latest anyway. Just wondering if you really need this one which is dated more than a year ago.

Yes, if you've already copied it, manually create a folder called d'load on the SD card & cut+paste it into this folder. Then try again.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] smokiedawson:
Restarted phone, tried local update - its doing it now :)
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] smokiedawson:
Have updated all good - now showing GRA-UL00C470B200

Cannot find any updates for either of the methods suggested to take it any further towards marshmallow.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] wbrambley:
Hi, I'm in NZ with a GRA-L09. Your problem I think is you need to debrand your phone to an open market version.

(For the L09 that is C432) I was stuck like you are waiting for local carriers to provide updates but they'd rather sell you a new phone. The guide on here hopefully apples to the UL00 too. Only word of caution would be too check the carrier bands are compatible.

Edit: looks like C185 is open version but I could be wrong, latest is B390.

Sent from my HUAWEI GRA-L09
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] smokiedawson:
thanks wbrambley, I think i will leave like it is. probably sell it soon i reckon. It is open branded, bought outright. Not and never locked to any network.

Cheers for all help guys.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] GaT7:
Ok, don't worry, That's why I mentioned in an earlier post, "if none offered, let us know".

What you need to install next is a Marshmallow C636 build (Southern Pacific region) - note that here you are moving from C470, which is not normally recommended. But it'll work fine as the region (SP) is identical (only the Cxxx code changes), & also as confirmed by namaiki in this forum thread (view last couple of posts).

For further confirmation, also view attached screenshot below from the download source.

Delete the B200 update file in the dload folder.

Direct, full download for GRA-UL00 C636

B361

(Marshmallow): http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=91443&siteCode=sg

Here, as it's going to be a 'forced' update, follow the dload-dialler method to install as mentioned in post #2.

Once it completes, check for an OTA update (Settings > Update > Check for update). If nothing, you can proceed to install the latest found by Firmware Finder (FF), which is C636B372 (confirm for yourself in FF).

Delete the B361 update file in the dload folder.

Direct, full download for GRA-UL00 C636

B372

: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G985/g104/v88000/f1/full/update.zip

Again, use the dload-dialler method to install. After completion, can you confirm the security patch level date - it should be June 2017.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] smokiedawson:
ok, so have done the first update B361 - it actually started upgrade for a while, then said incompatability with customization information. Please download the correct update package - reboot.

So I rebooted, phone was completely wiped (no dramas), and set it up again. Couldn't do australia, so chose usa over english UK.

Now it shows following:

Model Number: GRACE

Build Number: GRA - C900B361

EMUI version EMUII 4.0.1

Android Version 6.0

Android Security patch level Juni 1 2016

I have noticed that right down the bottom of that screen it used to have a custom version (numbers and letters).

It's not there anymore.

Anyways i will try for the next update you mentioned now.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] smokiedawson:
All good - did the update B372. I assume all is ok. model number GRACE

Build Number GRA-C900B372 (why does it not show the UL00?

EMUI 4.0.3

Android Version 6.0

Android security patch level July 1, 2017

Think it all seems good. Any chance of Nougat lol ?? Just kidding.

Cheers for all help, much appreciated. Not sure if anymore to do now, seem fine.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] smokiedawson:
Only other thing is when setting up, no mention of australia. Can only choose English (UK) or English (US). Then amongst the next selections is no australia etc. Any ideas?
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] smokiedawson:
Righto - lots of issues now. cant sign into google or anything at all actually. for example, trying to sign into google - just goes in a loop to sign in. cant even get past the next button.

Other stuff crashing. bluetooth doesnt seem to be working.

Should I somehow go back to another version?
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] GaT7:
Sorry to hear about the issues. Just goes to show that sometimes what works for one doesn't always work for everyone else (this is rare though it would appear).

The changes you see in 'About phone' is because you installed a different Cxxx build.

Revert to the working B361 update by reinstalling it via the dload-dialler method.

So replace the B372 update file with B361 & run the update steps.

If all works well (apart from the visual changes), only attempt OTA updates from now. In other words, don't use FF to find & install updates.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] smokiedawson:
That's ok, it happens. My problem is I can't even get my pc to show the sd card now to put the update file on. All I get is GRACE showing in my pc, and I open that, there is no files. Can't copy paste or anything, or even create new folder, very weird. This is via usb cable.

Trying to find a adapter for the micro sd card.

Any thoughts, sorry to be a pest.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] GaT7:
Yeah, sometimes it happens to me as well - try disconnecting & reconnecting. Otherwise the adapter (or cardreader) method should work.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] smokiedawson:
ok, so finally got the file to sd card, and installed via dialler GRA-UL00 C636B361 (Marshmallow). All working good.

still a bit confused as to why it shows in about phone GRA-C900B361 and not the UL00 part.

As android security patch is now 2016, should i go back to GRA-UL00C470B200.

I wanted really to update this phone to sell it, but not sure if it is still same region south pacific/asia etc. Sorry for all the dumb questions, still learning.

Cheers
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] smokiedawson:
I know you said not to use firmware finder etc, just had a look out of curiosity, and attached image is showing - worth a try or not?
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] erayrafet:
It shows the C900 'cause you have flashed a rom with different CUST partition from the original one. This is the reason why you are having those bugs. My advice for you is to extract the CUST image from GRA-UL00C636B361 with HuaweI Update extarctor and flash It in fastboot with the command "fastboot flash cust CUST.IMG".
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] smokiedawson:
Ok, i have extracted the cust.img from that firmware. Now not sure about this fastboot stuff and where to put the .img file (onto sd card?)
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] erayrafet:
You must put it in the ADB & Fastboot folder + Extract OEMINFO also.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] smokiedawson:
Doesnt seem to be any OEMINFO in the update file?

Have run the command and it gets stuck "waiting for any device"

im using windows 10 as its all i have.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] smokiedawson:
Ok so i decided to give the cust.img thing a miss.

I installed the update file again via dialler B372 and it is absolutely working a treat.

I have no idea why but all is as it should be.

Many thanks for all your patience and help. cheers
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] smokiedawson:
HI all, long time no see lol

I upgraded to another phone, and going to give P8 to a mate. I thought I would factory reset - bad idea! Had lots of issues with no google stuff etc, and lost a lot of the basic Huawei apps. Couldn't get into phone to setup, just a loop.

Eventually got it sorted and installed via dialler as listed earlier in post - version B361. Originally had put on Marshmallow B372

My question is since it is a while since doing all listed in this thread, what is the latest version I can put on the phone now, as would like to have security updates a bit more recent. And once i have whatever version installed will i ever get security updates. It is Aussie phone.

cheers for any help please.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] Sparkrite:

Hi all, I'm Italian I have the P10 Lite with firmware version WAS-LX1AC02B113 Vodafone brand, and I wanted to know some things;

1. With the Firmware Finder app I found the same version with firmware WAS-LX1AC02B115, can I download it and install it without problems?

2. Can you brand your phone with an official European firmware such as the B123 or are there any problems?

Thank you very much for anyone who will respond.

No problem! I'm glad you appreciate this ROM.

Also, WiFi hotspot is working great!
[T-Mobile LG G4] waseemmayaa:
Gonna flash this tonight. And whats about theme...?
[T-Mobile LG G4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Thanks. The Substratum theme engine works if you root the ROM.

Edit:

Bummer, the Substratum is broken in this build. I'll try to get that going again....
[T-Mobile LG G4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Make sure you set your default ringtone and notification sound. I forgot to give it a default. You only have to choose a ring tone and notification sound once.
[T-Mobile LG G4] raptorddd:
thank you for your time building this. and for sharing roms. planning on building others.? just curios.:good:
[T-Mobile LG G4] kpirnie:
awesome mate. slim roms are fantastic!
[T-Mobile LG G4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
It looks like there are a lot of good ROMs in the LG G4 section for H815/H811, I don't want to build "over" what people already have going. That being said, I am open to suggestion, but can't promise anything. Do you have a ROM request?

Thanks guys! Kind words are always welcome!

I have started work on the AKLU kernel:

https://xdaforums.com/tmobile-g4/development/kernel-nougat-kernels-t3622811

It is very basic right now, but I plan to add more as time goes on. No promises, but my other AKLU kernels typically feature: More governors, more i/o schedulers, FauxSound, voltage control (so you can set your own voltage, under or over), and light overclocking of the CPU and GPU. So be sure to check it out, and take a look as time goes on and I (hopefully) add more features!
[T-Mobile LG G4] DsturbD:
cool, something new to try!! thanks for this!! i miss building slim when i had my nexus 5
[T-Mobile LG G4] raptorddd:
thank you .. this means more things to try. and this also helps G4 as it looks like its getting dead.. in development. thank you for your time.. and sharing.. no request right now later..
[T-Mobile LG G4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
An oddity that I've noticed on this and other Slim nougat ROMs:

Sometimes, when you use wave 2 wake, or press the power button to turn on the screen, the screen does not appear to come on. In reality it does, but the backlighting is not on, so the screen is too dark to see.

This is rare, but when it happens, I push the power button to turn off the screen, then push again to turn on, in which the screen is bright again.

I'll try to look at the settings to see where the disconnect is.
[T-Mobile LG G4] DsturbD:
So far so good. Love me some Slim. Odd thing though, the nav buttons have a double tap feel to them like you actually tap it twice, lime a double feedback. Has anyone else notices that? Typing and other taps do not have that, just on the nav buttons
[T-Mobile LG G4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
That is true, the nav bar does have a higher vibration / feedback setting than the keyboard. This is the default. I think the idea is to make you aware that you pressed the nav bar and not the keyboard.

Sometimes, while using the keyboard (I swipe to type on the default keyboard) I will get an odd double feedback vibration buzz that is stronger than normal. Have any of you had that?
[T-Mobile LG G4] raptorddd:
can it be removed.? in settings. also you say developer is balnk how to select usb debugging.? for restore titanium.?
[T-Mobile LG G4] DsturbD:
Don't use swipe that much but using it right now im not noticing that. Works OK. Thanks for the info on the nav buttons

I had no issues with TB. It worked fine out of the box. Just figured that all that was set by default
[T-Mobile LG G4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Yes, currently USB debugging is on by default. You could turn it off of you are rooted by editing your build prop.

On:

persist.service.adb.enable=1 persist.service.debuggable=1 persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb

Off:

persist.service.adb.enable=0 persist.service.debuggable=0 persist.sys.usb.config=mtp

And rebooting the phone. Hopefully I'll get that fixed, and you can turn it on and of the normal way. I just have not had time to look at it yet.
[T-Mobile LG G4] raptorddd:
thank you both midnight and alaska. ill try it.

I just fixed the developer options menu. Uploading now. I have slow internet, so it will be a couple of hours.... Here's a screenshot:

View attachment 4187158

Update is in the OP, ready for download!
[T-Mobile LG G4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Substratum.....

Previously, Substratum worked on my Slim Roms. However, I was using older repository data. So, after a repository sync, Substratum does not work on my builds. It says that it works, it applies, but it does not actually change anything.

I started doing some research and found that the SlimRoms team is implementing their own "Theme Manager". Here is the project page for it, as you can see, they are working on this pretty often (including yesterday) :

https://bugs.slimroms.org/projects/theme-engine/activity

That being said, I took the liberty of downloading and building the code. Attached are a few screenshots. I can't seem to find any useful information on this new theme "engine" and I currently cannot find any themes that work with it. I tried CM themes and Substratum themes, it does not recognize either.

Edit: I also tried old RRO themes, they did not register either.

So, my two cents:

1. I will wait on the substratum until the dust settles.

2. If you guys hear anything or know anything, let me know, too so we can add it to the ROM, or make changes appropriately.
[T-Mobile LG G4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Okay, new build is up, but you may not be in a rush to install it....

So, the new build with the new Slim Theme Manager is up in the OP. However, as I write this, I cannot find any compatible themes that work with it. So, if you have the 20170619 update, you don't NEED to update to this 20170620 update. You certainly may if you would like to look at the new Slim Theme Manager tool, but it is not very "useful" yet. I am digging around and trying to find some themes for it, perhaps even themes that the Slim Team is using for testing. Thus far I have not found one, but if you hear anything, let me know.
[T-Mobile LG G4] Brandon9231:
Are there any other changes besides the theme manager? Since there's no themes for it anyway is there any chance we could try fixing substratum instead until its finalized and has some themes?

I noticed that the theme Interfacer isn't installed, which could be why themes aren't applying correctly. Could we switch to rootless OMS instead too? It's faster and more convenient since root isn't included in the ROM by default.
[T-Mobile LG G4] shrade:
hi, sorry if this is out of topic, or my bad english. is there any rom for this phone that have unlocked or working 3g 900mhz band? i used something like this:

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-unlock-aditional-bands-qualcomm-t2877031

now i can see the network but can´t register on it. any idea?
[T-Mobile LG G4] Brandon9231:
Technically off topic because of your phrasing, asking if THIS rom had it would be fine, no big deal though.

Not sure what you mean by not being able to register on the network but the option to make 3g the preferred network is in the settings under more>cellular networks>preferred network type. Do you not have data at all? Have you checked your APN settings? Sometimes you're not on the right one for your carrier when you first boot up.
[T-Mobile LG G4] shrade:
yes i have data over 2g, and have correctly configured the apn, when I choose 3g as network preferred and search for networks I see this:

CUBACEL, RAT:WCDMA

CUBACEL, RAT:GSM

when I choose WCDMA says: Unable to connect on this network ...

I have a rooted stock rom v20o

This model doesn't have unlocked the 900mhz band in 3g, so I use the post that i put in my previous reply to unlock it.
[T-Mobile LG G4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
No, there are no other changes in that build.

As for substratum, I'm not sure if I want to add it in, as Slim Roms appears to be making their own, but I'll take a look.

Shade,

Welcome. Off topic, but somehow related is okay with me.

As for your problem: Uh, this is not a ROM problem. ROMs do not set your bands, your link points to something you do to your own phone, which it sounds like you did already. If it does not work, then I am not sure what to tell you. I noticed that site was for opo and said HTC all over it, so I am not sure about using it on an s5. I would recommend that you post questions about that in the thread you linked here, as they may be able to help you. I do not know anything about it.
[T-Mobile LG G4] Brandon9231:
Yeah...I think you made it a bit too ROM specific, especially beings stock is a whole different beast from AOSP. I'd update to the latest firmware first (20v https://xdaforums.com/tmobile-g4/development/rom-lg-g4-h811-20v-stock-rooted-rom-5-t3608125) so you have the latest radios/modem and ask there.
[T-Mobile LG G4] shrade:
ok, thank both of you for the reply, i will try there
[T-Mobile LG G4] techinv:
Newbie question alert...

I have two H81120q phones for my teenage boys (twins) and would like to get them off of stock MM. I managed to get TWRP installed several months ago (not sure of version). Is there any issue installing this ROM (and AKLU kernel) on their phones as is? Do I need to update the MM version or firmware? Is there a particular version of TWRP that should be used?
[T-Mobile LG G4] Brandon9231:
As a general rule its best to always best to be on the latest version to avoid some random bugs that show up. Not often, but its broken stuff in the past like the camera/recording.

The latest is 20v and I posted the link a few posts back. They might have the ota notification but you can't use it since you have twrp installed, you have to update via kdz instead. Look up LGUP or uppercut here on XDA for the tool to flash the kdz.

A lot has changed for us regarding twrp, so I'd recommend upgrading to the latest version, but you might be fine depending on what version you have. I'm pretty sure there's a minimum version to be on for most ROMs, I just can't remember it.

You have to wait until after you've updated via kdz to reflash twrp since it overwrites the recovery. IIRC your bootloader should stay unlocked and you can just flash twrp again after making sure OEM unlocking is still enabled in the dev settings.

The process to flash twrp stays the same, so you shouldn't have much trouble, the hardest part is usually getting the right drivers for your PC to recognize the phone but you're already done with that part.

I'm just gonna assume you're already familiar with twrp itself and not explain how to use it, but just remember to clean flash when switching between ROMs, updating with a dirty flash is usually fine, just clean flash before reporting bugs.

tmobile variant doesnt have 3G .. i too had problems as the network i have has 4G but when it drops it goes to 2G..

i asked and LG told me that it isnt there. it was removed . and good question i want to use 3G as well.

so question here is. is it locked or is it removed by t mobile. i was told it doesnt support it. it was removed.
