AFAIK mate 9 had twrp ... i had it on mine
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] GrayJack:
Though it's not official: https://twrp.me/Devices/Huawei/
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] GrayJack:
Frankly speaking I am waiting twrp at least for Mate 10, not Pro. The absence of microsd shortens the use of custom recovery especially for backup.

And I really hope Xiaomi will return microsd in Mi7 so it will be a really good device.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
Worked just as good

Did the job perfect.

---------- Post added at 12:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 AM ----------

Why? Adb works perfect for backups

Once twrp releases I'll post a thread on how to increase the longevity and performance of this phone (tested on mate 9)

Really exited to see what this phone can do when its pushed
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] GrayJack:
Because I love to revert all changes back without PC.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
You can recover with internal storage

Twep doesn't touch the storage partition (or omit it)
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] GrayJack:
I know the difference between /data and /data/media

But anyway sometimes backing up is a problem when internal storage is used for /data backup. You can refer to Xiaomi Mi6 issues on this as an example.

OTG can be used to back/restore with TWRP! [emoji6]
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] chronicfathead:
I used to use it this way in the past. [emoji3]
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pretoriano80:
Well, it's still a good alternative and doesn't require a PC.And with a good usb3 adapter is quite fast. [emoji6]
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] GrayJack:
Yeah, in this case it would be the only solution.

So let's summarize. In real life I have to additionally carry with Pro version:

OTG adapter

3.5 jack adapter

None of them for Mate 10 non-Pro.

I really believe it is too much, guys ;)
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
yeah i understand

but i think most people play on their phones near a computer, so that makes it a little easier (you can pull and push after data gets wiped)

only time will tell whether or not we will get TWRP

i really hope we do
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Byte_76:
As one of the first devices to be released with Oreo and being Treble compliant, there is so much potential.

I'm also really hoping for TWRP for the backup features and for the many other advantages that it offers. I really hope that the developer community for the Mate 10 grows. It's a great piece of hardware and with enough developers on-board, it can be awesome!
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
If anyone could explain how to build the device tree, I could do it. I don't really know what files you need to build a working recovery. Fstab and recovery.fstab are the ones I know. And the init.* ones. I've been trying for hours, but can't get it working. The furthest I got was to the twrp splash.

I was comparing and replacing files from the mate 9 tree, but still no go.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pretoriano80:
Hi, you can find the device tree here - - > https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=74765519 .

I was thinking to try it myself for Mate 10 Pro , but didn't had the time to do it.

Also you can have a look at the TWRP for Mate 9 (the Oreo version by duraraa).

Edit: To build from device tree, there's a minimal manifest that you can use it with Omnirom sources. There are some examples here on XDA, or you can search on GitHub for TWRP for other Huawei devices (Mate 9 or Honor).
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Yup, I'm using those. The one by auras seems to be all files that are in the stock recovery. The one by duraaraa is just the recovery for nougat, but changed fstab (I think anyway) to Oreo.

The one by mankindtw is also for nougat, changed fstab.

It's this one: https://github.com/Tkkg1994/android_device_hi3660

And I've tried that one, replacing the files for Oreo ones does not work.

Same with Auras.

The problem is finding instructions on device trees. How to find out what files are needed etc.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pretoriano80:
I meant this recovery for Oreo -> https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3687622

The device three from Auras should be complete, but you will need a build environment to use it. There are several guides on XDA that shows you how to build TWRP without synching the whole Omnirom repo,but just what's needed to build the recovery.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
His ends up in a flashing screen, that's without changing anything. The recovery.fstab might be the problem as it's just copied from /vendor/etc/.

I'm using minimal, but going to see if editing it works, else switch to full omni
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pretoriano80:
It could be, but i didn't worked on this project anymore.I don't have a development environment anymore and also i locked the bootloader.

Btw, you should be able to test TWRP with Android Emulator, too.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Nothing works. Tried a bunch of times now with minimal and full. With android-7.1 branch and 8.0.

It flashes fine, but black screen when it's supposed to show the twrp splash then reboot.

With 7.1 branch it doesn't complete compiling. Message:

"ERROR: permissive domains not allowed in user builds.

List of invalid domains:

recovery"

And I'm not sure what I need to change. I was looking around in /system/sepolicy/private (and public), but there are a lot of files. Interesting ones should be domain.te, recovery.te. But I don't know what I should change as the error message is vague.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] whymista:
Don't see the mate 9 version although the pro and the view 10 do. Has anyone tried these versions. Trying to use it to us HuRUpdate to put the version you of the updated firmware that worked in the bricked thread

ok man use this Rom

http://www.egoshare.com/download.php?id=C37C37709
[Miscellaneous Android Development] siljaer:
This is another adaptation of @ottmi's work, this time to AICP (64bit). It started as an experiment by request of @josoft86, tested on an italian forum, but it turned out to be rather appreciated.

Credits go to the usual list of suspects: @ottmi (obviously!), @dev_harsh1998 (device tree), @lolmaxlik_ru (peach device tree).

Due to the build system, in order for russian friends to use the ROM on their Ark Benefit A3s, I had to make a separate build for them; I used the @lolmaxlik_ru device tree with some changes for 64bit:

https://github.com/siljaer/device_ark_peach

The kernel is based on Lineage kernel, with code for the Trunk from @ottmi's kernel. Kernel source is here:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] karabassssss:
thanks!

can I use dirty upgrade from last ottmi's build ?

is mediaserver works as expected in your roms ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] siljaer:
Sorry, I guess dirty upgrade is not possible. Camera and video recording are working AFAIK. I am not using this ROM as a daily driver, but people who are report so.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] karabassssss:
installed 20171217 version on trunk.

so far all works including mediaserver!

Thanks a lot! :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] siljaer:
Thanks for your feedback!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] karabassssss:
will you keep it up in the near future or this is occasional build ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] siljaer:
Actually, I am not using it; as I told, this ROM was born because of a kind request by [MENTION=6487919]josoft86[/MENTION]. It was just an experiment, but it turned out that AICP (after they transitioned from oracle java to openjdk) was quite simple to build.

However, if some people are using it and ask for it, I can rebuild it in order to include monthly changes. If people report problems, I can try and solve them. It's up to you, basically :)

In the past I had problems with disk space, now I have plenty of space on an external drive and I have also set up a partition for building ROMS (no more virtual machines...), so it's not a big deal.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] karabassssss:
I'll be more than happy! thanks!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] siljaer:
Fine. I've just made a new build, but it has still December security updates (but a new boot animation :D ).

I will try again in a few days, in order to publish something with more significant changes :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] karabassssss:
fantastic, thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] karabassssss:
One thing,

not sure it related to aicp build, but it started to happen only when moved from ottmi's last build to aicp.

Sometimes , when phone goes into sleep mode, it unable to wake up no matter what you doing. Only removing battery and reinserting it back solves the problem.

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] siljaer:
Thanks for your feedback, I will try to investigate. Meanwhile, I tried to compile AICP but it did not show Jan updates. I will make another build soon, no matter if it is updated, so you will be able to try it and see whether the problem still occurs.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] karabassssss:
great! thanks in advance
[Miscellaneous Android Development] siljaer:
New build is ready. Actually, I think AICP development for 12.1 has stalled, due to 13.1 progress. So, this is likely the last build for a while. As soon as an official build pops up for a msm8916 device I will try porting that. Let me know whether the problem you reported persists.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] karabassssss:
thanks. will try & report
[Miscellaneous Android Development] siljaer:
I assume you have a Trunk with an A3 screen; am I right?

Thanks for the feedback. Would you please give me more details about the problem?

Can you revert to the previously working firmware?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] karabassssss:
https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_huawei_msm8916-common/tree/lineage-15.0

this isn't suitable ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] siljaer:
Kernel isn't a problem: I got major help by [MENTION=5835908]dev_harsh1998[/MENTION] to patch trunk's kernel. So far, my tries to build anything Oreo for the trunk have failed. I am going to try again, but not in a short time (I am quite busy at the moment).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] karabassssss:
ok.thanks for the update!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] siljaer:
Sorry for the delay. The problem is not the driver, but probably the dtb files (information about the hardware). You should use A3 versions.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] termn8er:
Hi folks not sure if this has been discussed or where I should put this, long story short I am trying to use the Nickalodeon apk on

my Amazon Fire TV as we canceled it from Comcast, but they have not notified Nick so via my phone or online we can still access it.

However, when I installed the apk on the Fire TV and go through the approval process via my phone, Comcast/Xfinity does not show

up as a provider since I guess, they know we are installing it on an Amazon device. So has anyone discuss this for other apps

where Comcast will not allow you to verify your account and is there any work around?

Very nice adventure Sir

Help

Hello Phillip,

My S7 screen was damaged and i acquired a LDU and attempted the motherboard and daughterboard swap. The screen came come and I it would seem that everything was fine....except that the touchscreen is unresponsive lol....in your experience is it a software/firmware issue or did i damage the digitizer? could it be i did not "reconnect" it properly. Plz help
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] phreich:
I believe that would work. The daughterboard and antennas should be the same for both the FD and the F models.

Let me know how it goes.

Good luck,

Philip
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] phreich:
It isn't a firmware issue because the F motherboard you used should have F firmware on it. If you tried to flash the FD firmware onto the F motherboard you will likely run into serious problems because the hardware for the second SIM card is not present. You could simply re-flash the F firmware onto your motherboard and eliminate this as the issue. Make sure you use the non-HOME CSC version so your phone will be completely set back to factory settings. The HOME version of the CSC firmware section preserves some of the user data. The non-HOME version resets almost everything.

It's hard to say what the problem is without having the phone to look at. It would seem strange that you would have somehow broken the digitizer but not the Amoled display. However, if you nicked the screen's cable when you removed it from the LDU, that might be causing the issue.

I would try to disconnect and re-seat the display cable and see what happens -- you've got nothing to lose at this point. Make sure you don't force the connector into place -- it should connect easily once you get it lined up correctly. If you forced it, you may have bent some of the pins on the motherboard or the ribbon connector and that could be causing your issue. Look closely at both under a strong magnifier to check this. If something is bent, sometimes it can be unbent, but you'll need magnification and needle-sharp tools to manipulate the tiny contacts.

Good luck,

Philip

Fortunately I've found 930FD's motherboard. My S7 comeback to live again.

I've experienced damaged motherboard twice. After played around with TWRP custom rom.

Do bad flashing customrom from TWP, indeed able to damage the motherboard sir?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] phreich:
I don't use TWRP. I flash the motherboards with Odin. In my experience, you can usually resurrect a motherboard with corrupted or wong firmware by reflashing it with the proper factory firmware using Odin.

Just curious, where did you find the 930FD motherboard, and how much did it cost? Do they have more? I also am looking for a 930FD motherboard.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] agusto888:
Already try flashing proper stock rom via odin with no luck. Sending them to official samsung service center : they also cant flash the stock firmware. I am quite sure it was the symptom of damaged Emmc UFS

I live at Indonesia. Got the working mobo from local online shop, I dont think they can deliver overseas.

The FD mobo cost $125 and the F cost $90 in online shop.

In offical samsung service center, the FD mobo cost $240
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] michael.santos:
Hi Philip,

converting an LDU to a full working smartphone is possible just taking the back out and if you don't mind loosing the two bottom touch buttons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnwfCc5Y0H0

You could then install the Simple Control App to have the soft buttons enabled so you could have all the functionality from the two touch buttons you loose: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ace.jun.simplecontrol

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] EhudBenjamin:
When my phone is charging it seems to randomly display charging rapidly, charging, or charging slowly. I'm running stock nougat and have tried the original charger and another PD charger with the same results. Is his a known issue or a phone problem?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] NaterTots:
It's possibly just how they charge.

Lithium ion batteries in phones don't generally charge at just one rate from 0-100%. Around 85-90% they slow down. And the last 5% or so may be the slowest.

That's probably what you see
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ChronoReverse:
Assuming you're seeing it switch to charging and then slow charging as it gets closer to 100% this sounds normal.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] EhudBenjamin:
I thought that at first also, but it does it all the way through the charge.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] PhaseBurn:
Mine does this fairly often, and the battery percentage never matters. It happens equally as often at 40% as it does at 70% or anywhere in between. Additionally, mine will sometimes go onto the charger and just be stuck at "Charging slowly" and never change. Nothing's changed on the other end, either - it's plugged into the same port it's always plugged into. I seem to have better luck in getting it to charge rapidly when I plug it in with the display powered off, but that could be a bias I haven't eliminated. I have no actual statistical data to back it up.

I've opened a ticket with Essential Support, but haven't gotten a response beyond them asking a few questions and telling me they'd "look into it" (almost a month ago).

I will say that regardless of what the display actually says, the time it takes to charge fully seems to be fairly consistent (for the battery percentage it's at when I plug it in, obviously). But no, you aren't alone in seeing this behaviour. I'm on Oreo, too, not Nougat.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] combat goofwing:
Mine does the same but still charge's from zero to 100 in expected time around 70/80 minutes,it tends to jump to slowly when nearly full .

Have to say battery life I'm getting is nothing short of astounding for a 3040mha battery
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] EhudBenjamin:
Thanks for the replies, I'll try timing it and seeing how long it takes.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] LieutenantCommanderData:
same here with original wall plug and USB cable. Stock 7.1.1.

After reboot it stays on "Charging rapidly". until another day or so.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] EhudBenjamin:
Oreo seems to fix it.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] LieutenantCommanderData:
btw, seems that when I'm charging in Flight Mode it's always stuck at "Slowly Charging" , looking forward to test this on Oreo.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] LieutenantCommanderData:
can anybody confirm that PH-1 is always stuck in Slowly Charging when in Flight Mode? (and if you are Android N or O). I'm wondering if it's my device or general issue.

btw here Essential support answer on that issue:

My device in flight mode doesn't charge full in 1 hour.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Zargone:
Charge Time

Essential is saying 1.5 hours... that is about what it takes for me.

Has anyone tried the root method in the link below? Does it work for sprint? Is it really the easiest method? I recently bought the GS8 and am looking for the easiest/cleanest way to root, just to use Wifi Tether. Not interested in ROM, just stock.

Thanks in advance :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] Insomaniac10:
I would not ever attempt any method that is posted by a click-bait site like this. Just the fact that it still refers to the "AP" field of Odin as "PDA" serves as a red flag that this method has likely been copy-pasted from a very outdated method.

I just came from a Blackberry Keyone, which has a hardware root of trust, which means it is literally unrootable (hence "World's most secure Android") - yet whenever I would Google "root bb keyone" just for the hell of it, I would always see posts like the one you have linked to that just copy-pasted methods for other devices. Don't trust these sites.

These are currently your best options:

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 PM ----------

FYI proceed with caution! I attempted to root my phone the other day and bricked my device (you will see my post in this forum). I was not running Odin as admin, which is a very stupid mistake, but goes to show that the smallest slip-up can lead to very big problems. Rooting is not as easy as it used to be since our bootloader is not unlocked. Really make sure you know what you are doing before attempting to root this device.
