[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Whiskey103:
Here's another thing I noticed.

I've a little longer custom notification sound set, not a default available one.

When you activate anything CleanSlate notification wise (KAD, flash, blink etc) the custom notification sound doesn't get the chance to "finish".

I guess it's interrupted by something like KAD kicking in or button flash etc. Duno.

What can this be, I always blamed my setup but in past few days on stock/Viper oreo it worked fine.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
It could be kad IMHO.

That one simulates a power button.

Solution could be to add a kick in delay before it starts to show, so you can enjoy the long sound.

Hello Tbalden, I've noticed some strange behauviour. Tried to flash R91 Leedroid clear on wiped DUGL version, when choosing your kernel it didnt work and bootlooped. Choosing HTC's kernel did work. Now I've played around with different versions heres what i get:

V3.7.3 Bootloop

V3.7.0 Bootloop

V3.6.3 Bootloop

V3.6.2 V2 BOOTS

I dont know whether this is helpful for you but it seems you've changed something that makes my phone bootloop around.

Still im happy that it works at least on V3.6.2 V2.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
So you're unrooted, right, if I read it right in the LeeDroid ROM thread...

There was an issue with verifiedbootstate kernel level override, which seemed to be a Stock vs Magisk rooted boot partition reboot.

But then it seems you're not with magisk root, and still you have the bootloop.

I need SafetyNet check override in kernel as I'm unrooted too. On my Hongkong device this works pretty well. But seems like there's something else than magisk at play here... So I'll have to figure something out...

Could you please backup your boot image that booted finally, and upload it someplace so I can download?
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] lol8888:
Yes i run unrooted. I maybe a bit rusty considering android, my last android device was like the htc wildfire on 2.2 custom rom. Been on windows phone for quite a long time.

I've did a TWRP Backup of the boot partition, hope it will help you:

Grab it HERE

much appreciated!! Thank you for your constant support!
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
ok, found the issue. Now I understand it better. Problem is, that since probably Oreo, the verity check is stricter. The kernel patch to hide the unlocked state (verifiedbootimage=orange) is now triggering the Verity check. So the current kernel works only with stock system image and fitting verity_key. Here it boots without problem because I flash over my stock boot partition with a good verity_key, while on leedroid and other roms the system does not match the verity key.

- I need to provide a stock rom version for those who have a verity passing system, and hiding the boot image modification like now

- Provide a custom rom version , here the kernel patch with hiding modification needs to be disabled
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
- OREO update 3.7.4 stable -

...Happy New Year all...

​

Updates and Fixes

- updated WireGuard

- update installer zips to latest Companion and Configuration APKs

- providing two installer zips from now on:

--- 1., Normal installer for Custom ROMs

--- 2., Stock phone (system and boot) installer with passing verity. When you're flashing only the kernel on a stock or stock RUUed phone, and you don't need system mods. This will pass the SafetyNet check. Won't boot with modified system or boot image with non-fitting verity key, like custom ROMs

Hello. I've downloaded the last version of the Kernel (3.7.4) for custom roms. Leedroid is installed. In settings it shows me the Version 3.7.3 of the Kernel. Is this only a cosmetic bug?

Can someone please check out the "flash only when vibrating" switch?

Was playing with this and for me it doesn't seem to work correctly.

I get a notification, definitely with vibration and BLN and LED start blinking but Flash stays off.

Probably something wrong with my weird setup or something but ya never know.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] FuriousK:
Just a thought, but any chance you have "Face Down" ON as well, but the phone not face down?

Happy New Year guys!

Your new version does work for me. I've double checked with the stock one which bootlooped, but the kernel for custom roms work just fine. Thank you very much for your help.

Will donate small amount via pp. :o)
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] FuriousK:
tbalden, I've noticed something with BLN I think:

- During or even sometimes after a BLN has went off, if I wake the phone with the power button (or even with the home button),

the button lights don't light back up with the screen.

- If I power off and on twice (sometimes just once), the button lights then come back with the screen.

- It doesn't happen every single time

- but I have been able to reproduce it playing with notifications

Another little thing:

- Noticed you fixed the white text on white with a Dark Substratum Theme in Configuration - awesome!

- There's still some white text on white in Companion, JUST the Version Info down at the bottom (Top Notifications are in Black, and the middle text under "Extra Notification Detection" section is in grey)

Thanks
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Whiskey103:
Nope. That's not it sadly.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
Thank you! Highly appreciated! :highfive:
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
Hey, thanks for reporting. Definitely it's in the possibilities, especially since at screen ON event there's a logic that stop bln Blinking if it's active. So maybe that concurs with the brightness setting of the keys.

I'll check and try to reproduce.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
I've tested it and seems to be ok, as long as the vibration is a Double vibration of the notification.

BLN/LED will start even if it's not a double vibration pattern, because of the Companion app is now channeling notifications from the framework level, so there's no need for a vibration pattern. Yet, this specific Flashlight "flash only when vibrating" switch only triggers if there's a double vibration pattern.

Also there are some special vibration lengths that are interpreted as non-notification vibrations. If the specific application is using that, it might cause such behavior (flashlight staying off). But these are all very short vibrations (like screen unlock fingerprint vibration or squeeze vibration), not the ones used for notifications.

Is it happening with all applications?
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Whiskey103:
Well, for instance Tapatalk notification and my email both have single vibration hence flash isn't activated.

It's impossible to set different vibration patterns ofcourse.

I figured "flash only on vibration" would be just that, as it says.

Ow well, not much I can do about it then.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Whiskey103:
Geh, I found a app in playstore called "good vibrations"... What's in a name lol.

Long story short, it intercepts default single notifications/vibrations and instead pushed a custom vibration on a "per app set" bases.

Like 2 short, 2 long, whatever.

So yea, it's cool you can set different patterns on everything.

That is pretty working around my little problem, perhaps helpful for others as well.

Factory Reset, start configuring language, dont connect any WIFI or DATA and Next button after this the screen show Configuring Phone, press volume up + volume down - home button and button back, and Woola bypass the stupid activation

This is the method
[Sprint LG G4] nov0:
Thanks guys, I managed to skip this step. I founded tutorial on youtube, but phone must be connected to WiFI, otherwise there is no skip option only back to connect.

I have another problem, now it says that SIM card is invalid. I cannot connect to mobile network. It seems it is SIM locked, but I used current SIM with this phone and had no problems. Do you know guys is there some possible way to unlock again this phone without root? Again, I cannot contact Sprint because I'm not their user.
[Sprint LG G4] TheMadScientist:
you might be able to try some trusted 3rd party unlckers no way to downgrade either or brick will result to try inter nat rom so thats not an option either and problem with some 3rd party unlock companys is sprint still has apns greyed out so not able to mod them some have reported ok but basicly now its a monetary risk and in my opinion the device isnt really worth investing any cash into except for the camera no root methods are available beyond zv6 firmware no downgrade possible

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

you might look for sevice menu ## codes look for a setting that says itson and disable it may need msl code n wich is still obtainable throught sprint its hard work but i have done it many times

mayers unlock method sometimes requires manual diable of itson to get rid of invalid sim card notification

no root needed

I spent two days faffing with putting files into the dload folder and flashing before ota options appeared, and now I'm on 585. I've found the battery life to be pretty poor compared to 193 which is where I was before, and I've messed around with all the battery life increasing options.. Really not fussed with what version I'm on as long as I get a good battery life - used to get up to two days - now, after coming off the charger at 6 am, I'm lucky if it's got power left at 10 pm! Any thoughts as to which 636 rom might be best for battery life?

Thanks!
[Mate 8 General] plain_white:
I'm using b585 as well and the battery life is really the worst among all the roms so far. The best battery life I think is still b211 but that would mean change back to marshmallow.

[Mate 8 General] Bearded_1:
Now trying to downgrade using the info and file found on here: http://consumer.huawei.com/sg/support/mobile-phones/mate8-sg-sup.htm

I have put the rollback update.app file in and flashed it from powered off, leaving my phone now saying it is on NXT-L29C636B500 as expected, but then when copying over and trying to flash NXT-L29C636B211 - or any other emui 4 rom - the update fails and the build number now shows as NXT-L29C900B500. I wonder if there is there a stable rollback rom from B585?

EDIT: I'm currently installing B330 - so it seems you can't just flash any old thing.. maybe I can go back to 211 from this?

EDIT: BALLS. Seems that downgrading to B330 ends up with an eRecovery screen where it tries to download a new recovery.. hmm - what to do next.

EDIT: Factory reset and back on B330! Now trying the rollback from there to 211

EDIT: Oh. I think that kills it. Now not booting at all and none of the button combinations do anything.. Don't use the rollback when you are on B330 guys :(
[Mate 8 General] Bearded_1:
There is a glimmer of hope..
[Mate 8 General] Don Kronos:
I had a very similar problem... It seems that Rollback patch only works if you install it from Nougat...

If you try to install from any other version, It'll brick your phone.

So, once you install a downgraded version, you cannot downgrade it more.. until you reach Nougat again.

I bricked my phone, and I tried a lot of things to unbrick it, flashed many roms (FYI: I even not had the bootloader unlocked, on fastboot FRP locked and Phone Locked).

And the unique thing that worked for me is there:

https://xdaforums.com/mate-8/help/how-to-unbrick-l29-al10-stuck-fastboot-t3599775

When you unbrick your phone with the "Factory Firmware", I recommend you to flash using the B330 build.

I made my account just for helping you.
[Mate 8 General] Bearded_1:
Wow. Thanks! I'll try this tomorrow when I have all the tools on my work pc!
[Mate 8 General] Bearded_1:
After first trying several other things like the Knife tool, or just flashing over extracted Nougat images, I used the DC Phoenix tool v39 using B585.

It failed.

Then I tried it using B330.

That failed too...

Then I tried v35 using B330. It mostly worked, and I started getting excited.. but on rebooting, it tried and failed to download the eRecovery.

At that point I then put in the SD card with B330 in the dload folder, held in all the buttons and the updater appeared.

It seemed to get stuck at 5% but carried on,

It seemed to get stuck at 19%.. but carried on,

It got all the way to 99%..

And failed.

But then it rebooted - the animated logo popped up and it booted through into B330!!! :laugh: Thank you so much!!
[Mate 8 General] Bearded_1:
Phew. Now not really wanting to go through all that again, but at the same time not wanting to be on EMUI 4.1 or 5 for the sake of a better battery life!

Post #3 in https://xdaforums.com/mate-8/help/how-to-unbrick-l29-al10-stuck-fastboot-t3599775 indicates that the NXT-AL10_M00A102_Factory_firmware_Global_Nonspecific_A ndroid_6.0_EMUI_4.0_DC_UNL.dgtks linked to the post will set the phone back to an android 4.3 base? Would it be possible do we think, to flash that through DC, and then be able to put an EMUI 4 rom like B211 on it?

Or should I do the sensible thing and leave it well alone now!
[Mate 8 General] Don Kronos:
You're supposed to do it first, with DC phoenix install first the NXT-AL10_M00A102_Factory_firmware_Global_Nonspecific_A ndroid_6.0_EMUI_4.0_DC_UNL.dgtks, it will rebuild all partitions and basic configurations that were lost and tried to recover flashing with other stock roms, and finally unbrick the phone..

And you start with android 4.3, but it is apparently of internal use by Huawei technicians. It has apps for testing many things like sound, processor, memory, storage, display, etc. And after that, you can now flash any stock rom without any problems...

FOR THE RECORD, my phone is almost 2 years old and since the upgrades of EMUI 4.1, it had a very high battery consumption. When I upgraded to EMUI 5, the thing was worse, in 5 or 6 hours of inactivity, the battery drained from 100% to 0%. As the problems started after the updates, I did not think it was related to a hardware problem.

But now that I unbricked my phone, and installed EMUI 4.1; my phone lasted only 4 hours ... from 100% to 70% in four hours and the battery was sometimes drained from 70% to 0% in seconds. So, I replaced the battery, when I opened the phone I realized that the battery was badly damaged. Now my phone (in EMUI 4.1 B330) lasts two days of inactivity and up to six hours of screen, like when I bought it.
