Hi!

Thx for this guid, it seems to be clearly and good to understand! I have only one problem: i can not find the row "echo - - update_package...... update_data public. zip..." from the file "META-INF>com>google>android>update-binary" from hwota8_update.zip from the downloaded folder HWOTA8 for changing... ???

I tried with notepad++, but i can not do this... How did you get this step working?

Thx a lot!
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soenisti:
You have to unzip the hwota8_update.zip file into another location, edit the extracted update_binary file and then repack the zip. The update_binary file in HWOTA8_<date>.zip is a binary file and shouldn't be edited with a text editor.

hi there guys, i'm having problems with step number 5, i do rewrite twrp with that command, everything seems ok, have no errors, but can't go ionto TWRP like it isn't installed.

i can't run TWRP, can you please help?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] stefan.irmen:
First few times i had the same problem...

When the phone is off an you will hold "Power" and "Volume+" button to boot into TWRP, just hold "Volume+" after phone is vibrating... Then you will boot into TWRP...
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] txonan:
You have to reinstall twrp and then continue with the steps.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] txonan:
The fact is that the recovery proccess is a **** in this model. Try to power completely off the phone and the Pess POWER + VOL+ when you feel the phone vibrates retire the press of power button and still pressing VOL+ button by this way sometime it goes ok. If TWRP load go ahead with the followings steps.

Other way it to reinstall again TWRP untill it loads.

Let me know if you suceed, good luck.

4. Create HWOTA8 folder and copy the following files: hwota8_update and MHA_RECOVERY8_NoCheck.img (from HWOTA8 folder), and the downloaded firmware files. After copu the firmware files you have to rename them one has to be named "update.zip" and the other one "update_all_hw.zip" (don't write.zip extension).

2. Download Firmare L29C900B217 or L09C900B217 depending your model (only are 2 downloads) fromhttp://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=VTR-L29c900&firmware_page=0

non-functional link?

How exactly is it to be?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pale1505:
just to let you know that nothing worked,

went to a shop, they tried everything, uploaded older firmwares, but after that the phone died, only black screen, couldn't even switch it on.

warranty did the trick :D

the guys replaced the mainboard, nothing else helped :D

so i'm waiting now for the official update :o

Good day! Can I use this method for installing Official Oreo from Beta? What I would like to do, is skip the deleting of row then just flash the twrp and continue with installation process.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pdbc:
I'm on VTR-L29C636B361.

I would like to rollback to Nougat, for root reasons. I'm trying to follow this method, but I'm not able to find the right files. All I succeded to find is the "update.zip", from Firmware Finder website, but no signs regarding others mentioned ("update_all_hw.zip"). Where can I dowload the right files?

Moreover: I flashed TWRP 3.2.1. I would like to go back on stock recovery, but again I'm facing a lot of problems. I would like to extract from update.app I have (from "update.zip" above mentioned), but HuaweiUpdateExtractor gives me a lot of error. Any help?

Thanks!
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] _Nostromo_:
At the HWFF website the link leads you to you need to click the "filelist" (not only the "update"), that will give you links to all the files needed.

For the rest I am not sure, would also like to get back to the stock recovery but so far found no way to do so... :(
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pdbc:
I can give you recovery.img and recovery2.img for VTR-L29C636B162. I flashed this and then roll back to Nougat (B172) with FF.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] _Nostromo_:
Thanks a lot for your offer, however unfortunately my model is VTR-L09 so I better do not mess it even more... ;)

how do i edit update-binary? Just odd things comes up with notepad++

Question

Hi, I have one question

Your phone was VTR-L29 C432 and you used the firmware of VTR-L29 C900, so can I use the C900 in any version to rollback and after that, what would be my version? C432 or C900?

I'm asking because for some reason I have VTR-L09 8.0.0.046(04VT) and I want to rollback, then rebrand and finally upgrade to VTR-L29 C432 with a custom kernel.

Thanks a lot!

This guide realy work ??
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dukenuken:
hello, I test by cons I have a problem, once flash hwota8_update.zip, it tries to restart in recovery and redémre on oreo, a solution?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] muhammadsyafiq:
Maybe this is a silly question. Do we need to change the recovery file since MHA is a code name for MATE 9. P10 use VTR. Is it still usable?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Incredible_Culp:
For those that are having force closing issues on certain apps, enabling immersive mode within apps seems to fix the problem..

Things you need:

You need Android Terminal Emulator in the Play Store or cmd on Windows

i would prefer to do this from a PC so you can copy and paste the commands, but it can be done with any terminal emulator also.

Step 1: Connect your phone to your PC enable USB debugging mode

Step2: Open up cmd in Windows or the emulator on your phone and copy/paste or type:

- adb shell

itll give you a '$'

then copy and paste or type:

- settings put global policy_control immersive.full=apps,-com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

should enable automatically.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] elliwigy:
so a debloat script and replacing boot ani with a black one? ill give it ago next time i redo my phone lol (i already debloated and have that boot ani)

but nice little addition, i personally love removing bloat my last debloat script i dubbed 'The Purge" lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] galaxys:
Sounds good to me and I hate bloat! thanks for the work!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] imaverik:
Caution.,,

This breaks Fi app ... sort of.

the app wont run after zip. uninstall, reload from app store... still cant run app... app prompts to activate phone.. activate runs and app starts to work.

Same with "google" app (the default app that show when you swipe left from home screen.

Gmail too....
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Incredible_Culp:
Yep, that's pretty much what it does! The Purge hahah nice name!!

Absolutely.. Hope it works out for you.

I don't run the Google Fi app, nor did I even touch anything related to Fi..

My Google app works as intended, and I redownloaded gmail, and that works too.. Idk what could be the issue on your end..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Badger50:
I think I remember that script. Was that for the S5? ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] elliwigy:
i believe so haha too lazy to look it up
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] castano22:
Those this work with the January update? For some reason when I flash it my device becomes corrupted. I'm using twrp 3.2.1 if that helps
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Incredible_Culp:
Version/update doesn't matter..

Corrupted as in how?

I still use twrp 3.1.1. Beta 2
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] castano22:
Corrupted as in it won't let me boot up into the OS. It's with other mods too
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Incredible_Culp:
So far I've received an issue from a user on here (youll be able to read their issue on the last page) and i assume its user error due to me not having any issues at all..

My question is - has anyone else tried this script with complete success?? Given the 'thanks' i received, im assuming (again lol) that its working fine. In my experience on XDA, people only comment on whats wrong, and keep quiet when things are running as they should.. I'm now asking to voice your success just for reassurance for me :o

let me know guys, thanks! :good::fingers-crossed:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Incredible_Culp:
Just wanted to confirm that the debloat script works on the Feb update.. Just did it myself :highfive:

However, I did have a couple force closes on the Google app and Twitter (weird) -- after some testing, i got it working by enabling 'settings put global policy_control immersive.full=apps,-com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox' again

After I enabled that again, everything functions fine. :good:

Maybe this is needed for some apps that force close after flashing this debloat script (if you like immersive mode in apps)..

I'll post instructions in the 2nd post on the first page :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] cd993:
Hey, thanks for this! Any chance of an update to April release?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] dr_rick13:
do you debloat using TitaniumBackup? Last time I tried that, I got stuck in a bootloop :eek:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] cd993:
Yeah I find that happens too. Plus despite having busybox titanium isn't even deleting system apps anymore, they are still there after reboot. So for now I stick to freezing...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Solrex:
Hey, I have a born in jail N950-FD (BRI) Taiwan device and it is a born in jail device, so you have to wait around 7 days for the OEM toggle to appear, and every flash using an AROMA installer in TWRP will cause the OEM toggle to disappear and the 7 day timer will reset, and if you restart the device when the OEM toggle is not available, you will get the official binary error during boot screen, and your ass gets sent back to jail.

I have been to jail numerous times so I can say from experience that updating to the official BKQG firmware is the worst decision of my life. It is most anti-developer patch for the Note 8 to date. Once you update to a BQKG firmware there is no going back to older firmware as this was intentional from Samsung to patch any loopholes for the OEM toggle to show and stick before the 7 day or longer jail time.

After the 7 day jail time in BQKG, the OEM toggle appears with the toggle already turned on as it should even in older firmware however this is where the differences begin. When restarting the device numerous times in stock BQKG I noticed that the OEM toggle disappears in some boots but reappears when rebooting. If the OEM toggle disappears in some boots you can try turning off developer option and immediately turning it back on and the OEM toggle will reappear however that does not always work as it appears to be random.

Another trick is if you lose the OEM toggle after you got out of jail is to trigger the Easter egg which is tapping the Android Version which shows the Nougat logo, and tap the N logo numerous taps and then long press the logo until you see a cat icon at the bottom of the logo and once you see it you can safely exit and go back to developer section to see if the OEM toggle reappears. However if you see a icon with a circle and a slash then it not work, repeat the above steps until you see the cat icon. Again this method is for those who had the OEM unlock toggle appear after jail time but lost it again.

With this type of behavior I can see why many users are reporting official binary error even with the OEM unlock toggle on, but for me this OEM randomly disappearing between each boots did not happen in the older firmware but I could be wrong. Also since you cannot downgrade, the permanent update also patches the S8 cscs as the OEM toggle will disappear whether you have a S8 csc or not.

This post is to warn those who not updated to the latest BQKG firmware and have a OEM issue device is to stay away from it if you want the OEM toggle to stick after you got out of jail and especially if you are in a custom rom, because this update is designed to force you back to stock.

The only workaround and stability to stick OEM toggle after jail especislly to those who have updated to BQKG is to flash Dr.Ketan N6 Rom with OEM patch as the OEM toggle appears immediately and sticks during each and every boot.

Thank you very much for your valuable experience!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mollusk:
Perpetual is a simple image zooming demo.

You can zoom on any of the 200 images, and the pixels will turn into other images to zoom, perpetually.

What is it for ?

Nothing ! It's just a proof of concept and a demo I made...

If you have any images to submit to add into the demo, feel free to post in the forum and we'll update as soon as possible ! I'm looking for images that have nice colors and an overall dominant one (that'll be used for the color detection) Thanks for helping support this useless project !

Download Perpetual​

Perpetual Image Maker

Sexy Image Pack

Kaiser47's DeviantART selection (really awesome pack !)

SaintSeya pack

Zen nature pack

A video is available on that page if you want to see what it looks like without downloading/installing

Thanks for the feedback, suggestions, and images !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] surur:
Fascinating software - it works perfectly in portrait, its a bit slow and landscape, and it doesn't handle the change from portrait to landscape well.

Thanks for making my Kaiser much cooler however.

Any way the process could be automated, to make it into a semi-interactive screensaver?

Surur
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mollusk:
Well, technically, it's automated on my PC (there's no way to add all the needed data for the colors of the 200 images alone ^^) : I just have a folder with the images, launch my .Net app, and it scans through all the images, sorts by color, and outputs both miniature views (to avoid overloading the memory) and a huge array with the number of the image to use for every 16bit color ^^

It takes a while to run on my PC, so it's unlikely to work on in realtime, would have way too much loading time. I have just thought of an alternative method to build the color array, it could work much faster, but would only be available for real-time if you have only a few images... and if you don't have many images, well... It won't work to well ^^ You need to have at least 50 or 100 photos, ranging in pretty much all the possible colors (my PC app outputs which colors are overpopulated and which aren't populated enough, to know which images to remove and what colors to search for) ^^
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] surur:
While it would be cool to use my own pictures, it would be nice to see it zoom through the stock images without me having to touch the screen with the stylus too, independently.

Surur
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mollusk:
Well, this is a first release, I just wanted to have a quick proof of concept and that's it ^^

The future stuff that could be added :

- "Surface" button (to move back up)

- Auto button (could be nice to for lazy people ^^)

Anything else ? :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sercio:
A zooming back feature would be cool
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] surur:
Would that be for the skin-tone pictures :P ?

Surur
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sercio:
yeah:p

Btw there should be alot more pictures kind of ^^
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Alkhal:
This looks really cool I will have to try this on my Hermes. Does it work for VGA and Qvga?

*Edit* Only Qvga any plans for VGA? *Edit*
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mollusk:
Well, it should work on VGA, just that it's upscaled. I tested on emulator and the performance was good.

In theory, a 100% VGA version could be done. But the program is already 5MB, uses a lot of ram for all the images, and a full VGA version would just use 4 times more ram :s

Feel free to post some images (or send them by mail/PM) and I'll add them ^^
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sercio:
*Edit*

Ok here are some random Pictures i found and had on ma system! I extra made them 240x240 so you dont have any work rescaling them :P

Btw i would like if the "zooming" effect could be more smoother and slower if its possible...

Hope you like ma pics!

Regards
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mollusk:
Thanks, let me check that out.

As for zooming, the speed can be changed, not a problem :p I didn't actually test on hardware, just on emulator, so it might not be optimal yet...

TODO list (note to myself) :

- Auto-zoom

- Back button

- Speed button

edit : hey, nice set of pics :) I'll definately include most of them in the next release (either as additional pictures or as a remplacement. like flickr-color-picker.jpg which will be perfect to replace a sort of crappy image I had in the same style ^^) Thanks !

edit2 :

Could be fun if you know where to find nice pics (IE, with nice and different colors, won't be as simple) ;)

edit3 (last one, I promise !) :

Still looking for a good theme for the icon and the viewer, if anyone has an idea, please share !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sercio:
I found few random pics... hope you can use them :P
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mollusk:
Yay, those are awesome !

I'm currently finishing a set of 50 sexy photos, then I'll see if it works good enough with those ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nameless[PL]:
Cool and amazing app! Works perfectly on WM2003! :) Keep working :)

I think that you should make other app like that: http://www.mazaika.com/mazdownload.html for ppc (WM 2003 support for sure! :D ).

Nice work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mollusk:
Thanks for the link. That one seems nice too, but the images are in 64x64, whereas I use nice and big 240x240 images ^^ I'm thinking of modifying my PC .Net exe and redistributing it... It could produce a file like myimages.prp which would contain all the data needed, and could be copied on the PPC to open it...

As for SexyPerpetual, tested, it works pretty well ! The images aren't the best as I used the first image pack I could download on bittorrent. Not sure what the forum policy is for the kind of stuff, so I will not post a link to download it. Just send over a quick PM requesting the link and I'll answer back ;)

As for the video, if you want to take a look, here the link for the normal version's video : http://www.palib.info/blog/flvplayer.swf?file=http://www.xflib.net/Games/Perpetual/Perpetual.flv

Just keep replace the name by the sexy version's name and you should be able to view it ;) (if the admins don't want this posted, please just tell me and I'll remove it !)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kaiser47:
yes it woudl be cool if you can provide a tool that we can use to compile "our" versions with our pictures. it would be simpler than having to make special requests to you and sending many pics ?

but also if you really want pics, perhaps we can all send some to you ? public ftp or classic sharing sites like rapidshare ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nameless[PL]:
SexyPerpetual is very nice :D But insert "more naked photos" xD

BTW: I like kaiser47s idea :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mollusk:
Kaiser47, feel free to use any method to send of photos ;)

Yeah, I know, the sexy version misses a few naked photos ^^ But I just took a pack found on bittorrent, and used the ones with the most colors (because if I use only naked women on a white background, the transitions will be crappy, so I needed to have blue, red, etc....). If you have a pack with nice naked photos, I'll add them to the pack ;)

I'm currently modifying the PC part of the code to generate a special file which could be distributed and read by the PPC app, that way anyone can do an image pack :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nameless[PL]:
Cool idea :D

I do not have ones so I will w8 for new versions xD

So I recently became aware of the Razer Junglecat and immediately searched for anything similar for android, to no avail.

My question is if there is an obscure pad I'm unaware of that has similar function, or if not, who would you recommend for trying to get something custom made?

Be advised, I have almost no experience in design work, so coming up with an AutoCAD design (myself) for 3D printing is a bit over my head.

Hi, can anybody help me with speaker loud mode? I have Dolby Atmos And viper4 in my phone but IT isnt loud enough. What can I do? Some apps or zips modes through the TWRP ? Or some Rom with good volume and sound? Thanks alot
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] davorterzin:
Hi,what ROM are you using now?

I'm using Global Stable rom 8.2.1.0 for RN4 MTK and it is very loud even without Dolby Atmos...for example,i keep it on 60-70% of volume and is quite loud...with Dolby Atmos it is even louder (I have to keep it below 40%) and i'm the guy who has hearing problems (not deaf but my hearing is not good as it should be)...

I had the same issue with HTC and there was problem with the speaker itself...

Try to air-blow it a bit (maybe it's stuck with dust and dirt)...if that doesn't work,then maybe the speaker has gone bad [emoji20]
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] skeletonboy:
Dolby Atmos is sufficient; make a manual profile in the tab you prefer, and set the EQ like you see in the pic. Depending on the situation, enable dialogue enhancer or volume leveler, as you see fit. Keep in mind that WhatsApp audio clips are not affected by Atmos, all the remaining media is.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] alwan_afif:
I think dolby is loud enough, first make sure your phone (music player) connect to dolby. You can open dolby to check, and active the volume leveler. And i think use one surround sound, i suggest use dolby.

Now I'm using dolby lenovo version (install from magisk). But if dolby/viper still not loud, you can install volume step increase from magisk
