Beat me to it. Folks, this is just a system dump. Unfortunately, without root, I cannot access the Cache partition, which is where the OTA zip file is stored.

I'm posting system dumps to encourage anyone and everyone to dig through. Hopefully we can find an exploit or some tidbit. I never bothered with the sampawn. While I am very grateful for the time, effort, and energy that went into that root, it's not a true root. When Oreo drops we're back to ground zero.

WHAT'S DIFFERENT:

- Polish: That's partly Google. Partly Samsung. Battery battery life. Things open faster. Etc. And I dirty flashed too.

- Battery Life: Took my phone off charger 16 hours ago and I have 40% left. Screen time 3hr. I heavily rely on my phone every day. Team communication apps, research, navigation, etc. No games. Could be different.

- PiP: Awesome. I had Navigation open earlier today and switched to Music to change songs, a little floating window with my navigation opened. PiP works with Google Maps!

- Band 46: Hasn't been fully initialized in my area, but signals are definitely much more stable.

- WiFi: More stable. I can reach 5G band at further distances. Likely just cleaned up code that's making these work better.

- Small UI changes, such as people edge is more glassy.

Oreo is well worth the patience. I'm only encountering small bugs here and there. It's very stable. So I'd say, maybe Xmas we'll have Oreo. Could be wishful thinking, but I'm hella impressed. This **** is smooth. Only thing I hate is the stupid emojis are the same as before.

I have been looking into the the S8+ Ota and noticed

SBDIFF. If we can figured out how they SBDIFF the OTA against the 7.0/NRD90M/G955USQU1AQHD firmware. we may be able to flash it.

I also noticed the OTA .bin file has to zip files concatenated together. the first zip only has one file in it called metadata and it is just text.

I know there are several apps for night filter but due to their complex ui and design it irritates user to interact with app.

So Light Delight is a simple Ui Night Filter App that let you pick any color as your night filter and low your screen brightness.

In notification there are two button to increase and decrease the opacity directly from notification so no need to go to app again and again.

Install and let me know about your thoughts :)

If you want to repack nb0 image:

edit files "list" of unpacked nb0 image, remove .md5 file from list.

Not guarantee moded packed nb0 will work - OST may give an error. Some images work some require md5. Depending from mlf content.

05.04.18 v3.4

-fixed long filenames in nokia firmware

-added repacking (may not working for new images for OST 3.1.4 with md5 check permanent)

But you dont need it! You can flash in OST by selecting of unpacked .mlf file

Yes, thanks, tried that, working.

I need now to figure a way to change the system.img, cause the md5 check is ruining that for me.

I tried the Miflash latest version & beta, but flash starts but stops quickly, com port errors, I see a lot of people struggling with this.

Any solution yet how the com problems are caused, maybe because of the USB cable type ?

So I can do nothing when the bootloader is not unlocked, I tried the official way first, but reached the maximum amount of sms (only 5) and I was too late to fill in the code due to some problems.

I want to flash a decent recovery like TWRP first as you can do nothing with the standard built in...

There seem to be also methods to flash the TWRP without unlocking the bootloader on youtube, I tested but I also have the com port error :(

Hello Guys,:)

I have Problem with Update my Mi a1 to Oct patch with Root Access.

Firstly Device Rooted with the Magisk 14 By Booting via Fastboot into TWRP Recovery and Flashing Root Zip in Slot A but after Booting to Slot A Which is Rooted automatically Downgraded to Sep Patch and OCT Update is Available to Download when I Download it gives an error for Installing and Could not install. After While Again Booting into Twrp and Boot into Slot B its already on OCT latest patch and Unrooted So How Can I Install the latest patch into Rooted Slot one which is Slot A ????:confused:

Please Reply.......
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Paradox♀:
You cannot update both the partitions at once...

The only way to update both partitions is to flash stock images from fastboot.

ps: you could just install uninstall magisk from magisk manager in slot a (that would restore the stock boot.img) and then install magisk into slot b, this would ensure that you could safely update via ota when oreo arrives for our device without any problems.

Hit thanks if I helped! ;)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Andromeda_Tech:
Thnx for reply.

So now i just uninstall magisk from slot a and install or flash it in slot b. Then when i need to use root then i boot into the slot b right ??? But modification done in rooted slot b will work on slot a ?? And what about update if i flash twrp in both or any one of slot??

Sorry for asking much..
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Paradox♀:
If you flash TWRP then the OTA updates would break on that slot, you have to install full ROM from TWRP in order to update the ROM.

If you have done any modifications to the /system (like build.prop, etc.) then you have to do that again on slot b, but if you use magisk modules then they would work as aspected in slot b as the modules are installed in the data partition, not in the system.

When you flash magisk in slot b then you don't need to switch to slot a to use root and if you uninstall magisk from slot a then the boot.img would be restored (now if there is any new OTA update then it could be installed on slot a) thus you won't be able to use root in that slot.

I would suggest you to uninstall magisk from the slot a and then install it into slot b and then boot from slot b and continue using this slot as the daily driver because the system in the slot a would be outdated.

I succeeded !!!

For those who are interested :

- install Kingroot 5.3.0 apk on your mobile (uninstall the installed app)

- run the root as many times as necessary, making sure that you have granted the administrator and accessibility rights

when the phone restarts, restart it

- as soon as the phone is rooted (be careful it's temporary but you can start again if necessary), install the flashify app

- choose "recovery image", and choose where you put your twrp http.s://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6EQd1aL0EmWX3I2WEFuVmdUcUk/view

- restart on the twrp (I took the opportunity to make a backup above all, count 10/15 minutes)

- launch the Supersu zip install (SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822) that you have taken care to place at the base of your sd card

- restart, supersu is installed

- to transfer my apps, I chose besides the app uninstall system (root)

And finally, here is your Alcatel pop 4 5051x which holds the load again and you can control without parasites

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morganebreizh:
"App uninstall system (root)" is an app from Google play but you can choose another one of course, just choose one "root" in order to access to app system.

Be careful of what you desinstall. To choose apps, I've looke on the battery, which apps were consuming the most and I uninstalled they after searching the net to make sure they were not needed.

Where are you from? Is your phone selling in stores or you got it from mobile operator by contract?

You can see available stock ROMs for your phone in Firmware Finder. Enter model MHA-L09C316 in search.

I did it, but FF did not find anything about your region. There are two options: stock ROMs for C316 are existing, but FF does not know where are they. Or Huawei did not post them to HiCloud.

If I have had phone with rare region, I will rebrand it to more popular region. It is too hard process for newbie. You have to read about unlock bootloader, TWRP, patched recovery, different models and regions. But staying on region C316 you may not receive any update even. By my experience, Huawei updates popular regions and does not care operator's versions.

As alternative you can ask provider (if phone by contract), write to Huawei or wait for update.
