[Huawei MediaPad M2] Pascal536:
Do not by it.

The M2 will stay on 5.1, while the M3 is on 7.0

That is a shame From huawei
[Huawei MediaPad M2] shlape:
I wouldn't be so harsh on Huawei. They did provide a means to unlock your device. Unfortunately there isn't much in the way of after-market development at the moment. I'd be willing to give it a try but don't really know where to start, however the investigation continues... ;)

<rant>As a side-note, Oppo takes the award for the worst company. As a R7s owner I was surprised at the length they went to stop people developing for this device, and they didn't provide any updates either. If you want to advise anyone which company to avoid, I think Oppo is at the top of the list.</rant>
[Huawei MediaPad M2] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Yeah it's a real shame. They promised Marshmallow and cancelled it in the end without any information to us users...

I changed from samsung to huawei but I will never buy huawey: I had to buy a new smartphone and I was convinced to buy huawei Nova but after this deportment I will change my choice
[Huawei MediaPad M2] allrightlite:
There is an Android 6.0 update since a half year. But this don't come over OTA, right? They have canceled this? I could flash it for 6 month. Since this time there come no newer security patches. Really bad by huawei.

The update has broken some things like the launcher. I have must for the person take the settings new. Maybe that was the reason for cancel. Just flashable, no OTA, so do you mean it, right?

For M2-801L (lte-version) we have used the B206. Looks that huawei's developer had gotten no much time for this device. So no official roll out possible. For P8 Lite they roll out every month security patches. Crazy for a cheap phone.
[Huawei MediaPad M2] Pascal536:
Bye

[Huawei MediaPad M2] allrightlite:
Samsung is almost in every device ;) My Z Play has Samsung MMC flash and Samsung RAM :D So far so good. Updates? LOS14.1 the best, but not so easy on Kirin ;)

Short: Media Pad M2 and updates are dead :rolleyes:
[Huawei MediaPad M2] hundred_miles_high:
Samsung are no better.

I have lost count of the amount of Samsung devices that I have owned that have never had more than one or two very minor updates and then been abandoned by them.

My last tablet was the Galaxy TabPRO 8.4, it was released as part of their flagship range at the time, got 3 or 4 security patches then abandoned by them - only ever had 4.4.2 which was a real shame given its good spec and awesome 2560 x 1600 screen.
[Huawei MediaPad M2] Boris An:
I dont care about updates

You shouldn't be so harsh on huawei, because updates are only important if you play on your device. I only use it as a media device, and not for games, and I think there will be sufficient apps for it in the next 3 years. It is also important, that no update is better than ****ty update. I just changed from my Nexus 7 to Huawei mediapad, because there was an update to lollipop. beforethe update everything was smooth,now the device is lagging so hard, I wish I were able to downgrade it.

[Huawei MediaPad M2] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
[MENTION=8892433]Boris An[/MENTION] sorry to correct you. But with all those newly found security breaches on the SoC level "no update" is unacceptable. I bought it because Huawei stated that they will update the M2 at least to Marshmallow. That's just ridiculous and causes an enormous fragmentation. I'm so glad that Treble has to be active and implemented on all devices delivered with an Android 8 since this year. Won't buy any device running Android 7 or lower any longer, just to show those OEM that it's time for a change. And Huawei is just dead for me. Never again. Such a bad service...

Treble can realise a better update policy across different OEMs and bring Android nearer to the best practice update policy of Apple, assuring more devices to be other latest Android version and security-patch level.

[Huawei MediaPad M2] allrightlite:
6.0 on 801l available, but security patch just from end 2016. Very bad and there is no newer version like B206?
[Huawei MediaPad M2] Scorp76-:
Will post the name, something like B010 was pushed today as a new security patch.Something like 58Mb, with device improvements and security updates.Didnt install it yet.I have the 16gb wifi version of the 10.1 inch M2.Gladly the still update it, now hoping we will ever get a newer emui.Nice tab, very nice but cant share it with my partner for example due to emui 3.1..Happy anyway!
[Huawei MediaPad M2] allrightlite:
For the M2 801l it's B208 out with march security patch and EMUI 4.0.3. Better than nothing.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] nitish.4you:
I own the 6GB Ram version of the phone and wants to root it so as to use Titanium backup to restore all the contents of my previous phone.

But the Problem is that we are still going to get some big OTA updates regarding camera and maybe more bug fixes.

I know the general procedure for rooting the device i.e. first unlock the bootloader then install a custom recovery then root.

I just wanted to ask if I just install back the stock recovery after rooting the device then will I get the Ota updates?

And I am sorry if any similar question has already been asked, I searched but didn't find any. Thanks
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Hastaloego:
im using twrp and magisk for root. i still get OTA updates. but only the full updates, the 1,5 gb size

after that i need to flash twrp again and then install magisk again too.

but no data lost or anything so if you can live with that, its no biggy.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] nitish.4you:
Can you throw some more light on this.I just want the latest updates. Download size etc doesn't matter.

Can you tell me the procedure what you do to retain rooted access and still get latest updates.? Thanks
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Hastaloego:
i assume you know how to get root ? unlock bootloader, flash twrp, install magisk or supersu ?

well from there its just the same.

getting ota updates see attachment.

after the update you are back to stock recovery without data lost.

so just flash twrp again and install root again, thats all.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] alukarulz:
1. Unlock Bootloader and Flash TWRP

2. Flash and Download APK Magisk 13.3 (Root + Pass SafetyNet)

3. If there is a new update go to OnePlus 5 Downloads

4. Boot into TWRP and Flash the new update.

5. Everytime you flash a new update you must also flash Magisk Root.

6. Done
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] PrakashGD:
Should we flash twrp recovery and root zip right away after flashing full ota package??
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] maikvitesse:
You don't have to flash twrp recovery again.

You can flash a root zip right after flashing the full OTA package

I'll tell you I've had many brands of phones throughout the years, and none of them are as refined, smooth, efficient as this OP5....

Stick to Oxygen OS is my advise, I've always been a fan of AOSP and LOS based ROMS, but only with the OP5 I keep coming back to stock.

Enjoy the phone is my last advise. Use a custom kernel, you'll find your favorite, they save tons of battery, besides making the device EVEN smoother and efficient.

Shortly, Best phone i've ever owned: battery life (SOT), performance, shell temperature, ram, storage performance, stock feeling. And i've owned quite a lot.

This is the first android i've seen that doesn't lag when installing apps (!!!)

Display is really ok, and personally i am glad they keept the 1080p for efficiency and performance reasons (i've used 1080p also on s7).

What bothers me is the standby battery life (still better than my previous s6/s7). The wifi seems to consume more battery than other devices

I notice the jelly effect but that doesn't bother me.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] kooldude4u:
i am a note 4 owner and i am also in dilemma of buying op5 and after reading your comments and cat fight i am still having second thoughts mainly because of the disasters since the op5 has launched be it jelly scrolling effect, crappy camera, 911 reboots, cheating benchmark apps and what not. i was really looking forward to buying that device the day it launched and for some reason i held myself from buying it and i guess i made right decision at that time but still i am not totally against it, its just that now they need to convince users more and harder. I'm looking to buy new device and the options i think i have are op5, s8(+), iphone 7(+). now some of you will say s8 and iphone costs much more than op5 so to cut it some slack but in my opinion oneplus have always been treated as flagship killer and so it deserves that level of scrutiny and comparison (even my note 4 can take better pics than op5 and have OIS and you all know its a 3 year old phone) and now some will say iphone is different league or something and personally i dont like iphone either but since the flagships have been unveiled this year all i felt was that manufacturers are doing gimmics just to justify price increase of the phone that they were launching. if you take s8 they havent changed much in it from s7 and they increased prices to coverup losses. In my opinion its july 2017 and honestly i dont think i can say that i feel that any flagship device launched this year till now is worth buying, i had high expectation from op5 (as my friend owns op3t and i have used it too) but all those disasters are making me change my mind from android and to shift to iphone ( i know its closed os) but atleast they have what android lacks atm stability.

if anyone want to add something to my opinion i welcome them.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] DSF:
Honestly i was also holding myself to buy thr device, got scared by all the posts with the issues...

But couldn't support the pathetic battery life of the s7 and also how it was heating even when using for simple tasks.. so i risked and ordered the 128gb! Do i regret the decision? Nope, as i've prior said - best device for my needs.

Of course they hyped camera that doesn't deliver. Of course the camera is bad in low light or if you have shacky hands (s7 was too a hit or miss btw for objects in motion or little shakes). Also the details lacks sharpness.. But the colors and dynamic range seems very good. And if you get good amount of light the pictures looks nice (at least as long you don't zoom in => lack of sharpness)

Also i got the jelly effect and i clearly see it, ajd it's very noticeable. But i kinda like it, it's as it's a fancy fesired effect :D

I don't care if they cheated in benchmarks.. what matters is real performance.. and this is a beast in terms of speed! Also the storage performance is top notch.

The perceived device temperature is so much better than my last few phones (including BlackBerry z10, s6 edge, s7). I kinda like metal back.

Get the phone. Great everything. The only downside is the camera- not because it's bad but because OnePlus made such a huge deal about it being world shatteringly awesome. It's not great but it's ok. Maybe with software updates later. But not now. And on average I take about one picture a week....so this is coming from a guy who doesn't give a flip about the camera. And dash charging is amazing. I had a quick charge 3 device before this and am exceedingly pleased with the op5.
