[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] dopefish1337:
Hello guys,

i am thinking about buying the Huawei M5 Tablet for my girlfriend but i am afraid of Huwaei due to their bad update policy.

- Does anyone know how long they support their devices? More then 1 year?

- How often does Huawei distribute Security Updates? Monthly?

- Any chances of Android 9?

- Will this device support project treble with gsi? This maybe a solution for Android 9.

My current device is a Google Pixel C Tablet and a Google Pixel 1 XL. So i am enjoying the regular security updates.

Right now i am too afraid of buying a closed source Tablet which might will not get any updates!

What do you think?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] rillrill:
It will come with Oreo, so its treble enabled thus will get updates pretty fast.

It's been a while since I've visited.

I plan to root with magisk and keep the stock recovery (boot to TWRP to install magisk). In such a scenario, it would still not be possible to update with a normal OTA, as the update process would see the device as compromised, even with a system-less root method. Is this accurate?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] LordM:
Yeah, as Magisk still changes something.

On my Nexus 5X it was possible to download the OTA and save it on a computer, then go to Magisk Manager, restore stock boot.img, reboot to (stock) recovery, sideload OTA via ADB, reboot to bootloader, boot TWRP via fastboot, flash Magisk and then boot your updated phone.

As I didn't test this on my Pixel 2 yet, I can not guarantee, that it works this way. Make sure, you have backups of everything!
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] nolimit78:
That seems like a bunch of extra work to get the OTA. I would use the system image (downloaded from google) and apply it (removing the -w). Once applied then fastboot boot twrp.img to install magisk.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] floepie:
I suppose this is what most people do, but it still seems like a pain to keep root. Maybe I will see if I can go rootless for as long as I can stand to see the ads. I really don't know what else I would need for root access for these days. After a bit of hiatus with the iphone, I've grown a bit lazy lately.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] nolimit78:
My suggestion involves 2.5 steps. It's far less painful than trying to use the OTA. That's what I do and I'm systemless rooted with Magisk.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] orography:
I used to do the whole system image thing, until I realized that even with the hassle of patching the boot image with Magisk, applying the OTA update is likely faster.

RCS Features for Android Messages not installing for Huawei P20 Lite

Hi! I have the huawei p20 lite, under Globe Telecoms from the Philippines, (which supports RCS) but setting up the chat features from my phone indefinitely run like to forever. Did every possible fix written online forums and alike - from clearing cache, uninstall and reinstall the app, force stopping, rolling out the update etc, but none worked, and as of this writing, the setup blue screen is still running on the background. While my sister (who is on huawei p20) and my dad (on samsung j5 prime) both also being on the same network as I am, have successfully setup the RCS features for android messages app. Help pls? Thank you!

Facing the same issue. I tried clearing carrier services data, reinstalling messaging app, hiding root, disabling ad blocking.. But all attempts for activating chat feature in google messages result in "excuse the wait" screen. My carrier supports RCS as friends with Samsung phones can use this feature. Any idea how to get it on Mi A1? :)

Same problem

I have the same problem. Has anyone got any hints at least? It's very annoying and no other phone seems to have it.
[HTC U11 Life Questions & Answers] ucomix:
I'm having the same issue. Screen goes kinda white for half a second and looks as it would start an app, but then goes back to what app you just had opened.

It is not a constant flickering or flashing, as reported from Samsung and other Devices and which is documented via Videos on the Net.

It would be hard to film it, as I haven't been able to reproduce thus behaviour.

When I play a game (King of Avalon) and when I'm just typing and that issue occurs, the typed text is gone. Luckily it doesn't happen while typing on WhatsApp or other apps with text features.

A while back it was almost gone, but then came back, without me having changed the app Setup.

I will reset the phone and see, if it comes back.

I still think it's an issue brought up from apps that use the GPU a lot.

Have tried different settings the Developer Options from Android (Disable HW-Overlay,...) but it didn't help.

Will report, once I have resetted, but will take a while, until I have time for testing.

Hey, I also had this problem, it helped me change the language in voice search to English and turn off "ok google". I use the phone in a different language and I also had it in voice search.
[HTC U11 Life Questions & Answers] jdanisse:
Hello fellow HTC u11 life friends -

I found this thread by Googling, so hopefully others will find it too. I have also been having this very annoying problem for several weeks. Can't remember when exactly it started. Was it after an Android update? :confused:

This problem appears to be related to the Google app settings on the phone, as the previous poster suggested. When I read his post, I went to the Google app settings (Setting --> Apps --> Google) and didn't see anything out of the ordinary, but I noticed that there is a setting called Display over other apps. This was set to "yes" by default, so I changed it to "no". Since I made this change yesterday, I have not had the white screen flash once.

It seems like the Google app is being triggered briefly for whatever reason and then closing. By not allowing the app to display over others, if the app is triggered, you won't get that brief white screen like the app is about to open. At least, that's what I think. Fingers crossed the fix holds. I hope this works for others. Let me know!
[HTC U11 Life Questions & Answers] ucomix:
Before I call you a genius, I still have to wait a bit (and of course hoping)

I just turned off different things in the Google App "show notification for ***"

In this case *** was for Price Alert, stocks alert, sports alert and so on.

Furthermore I disabled the "display over other Apps" as well.

I could imagine that this latter feature doesn't have to be turned off completely, rather than turning off all those useless alerts for stuff I've never even looked for.

Will try to go the next days to see, if that blinking is gone and if soy trying to activate the feature with almost no alerts in order to determine, what the exact culprit is.

Disabling the feature totally might do it, but if for example some alerts were useful, then it would be nice, if at least they worked out as supposed to.

Will keep you guys posted.

Fingers crossed ^^

Did turn off not only for Google but silenced many other apps as well, but still flashes.

Just deactivated "Display over other Apps" in YouTube. Maybe that helps.

Tried this method and so far (1h) no flashes. Sounds reasonable, that Google is trying to send some notices to the screen and that functionality is somehow bugged. I'm fine with turning off ok, Google. Have never used it anyway. [emoji28]

The white screens interval increesed and taking foto's was sometimes difficult because white screens passed by a few times per taking a foto.

Now I received 8.1 and no white screens till now (20h)
[HTC U11 Life Questions & Answers] ucomix:
Are you using the built in Camera, or some app?

I got 8.1 too but no changes. Have to admit I'm using Google Cam Port. Might be that, because otherwise I've turned off kinda all notifications, but it's still flashing.

As mentioned earlier, I should do a full wipe and use the built in cam and such, but I don't really like it.

I'll see, when I find the time to wipe and set it up again...

[HTC U11 Life Questions & Answers] Kreacher01:
I had this issue in the past (some weeks ago) randomly and not very often. It then stopped without me changing anything at the phone. At least since the upgrade to 8.1 I didn't see that flashing again.

But now -out of a sudden and again without any change in the settings or any application or OS upgrade- it started yesterday evening and now occurs more often than before. Did anybody else experience the same?

So far I did not try the tips here in the forum but if the frequency of the flashes increases I'll do.

I'm wondering what is causing these issues when they start at a moment's notice without any previous change at the phone.

Is there any way to flash a kdz from my G4 ? :D

LG G4 with locked bootloader, Twrpinfish installed
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdembiske:
It would help if you were more specific about what you are trying to do.

With that said, are you talking a stock kdz or a rooted system image? If a rooted system image you can do it with TWRP-in-FiSH, provided you can obtain the one you want from a member who provides his own TWRP-in-FiSH system image backup but you can't do a stock KDZ. Cross-flashing any different model firmwares, at this stage (until steadfasterX completes and publishes his boot loader unlock process), runs a high risk of a hard brick.

Thx to [MENTION=5937299]the_naxhoo[/MENTION] for this tot

Also there seems to be easy ways to edit a kdz with hex editors apps than winhex for example, which requires a hefty priced pro add-on. BTW I've flashed different region kdz with LGUP without issues.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdembiske:
Being able to flash different region kdz's is very Model specific - e.g. H815 International/Europe version plus a very limited number of other models and only one or two with locked bootloaders (most of which have issues from what I can tell). Some models, like the H812 are locked up tighter, running a very high risk of hard bricks screwing around with other model/region firmware flashing- So again, you have to be specific.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fil3s:
Apologies. I own a H815T and have flashed H815 kdz's , so my question is- if there is any way to zip a kdz for flashing, extract correct partitions for the zip , edit the kdz for flashing from the device etc, i think it would be a pretty handy tool

Sorry if I'm asking in the wrong place but I followed your guide to bullet proof method to get started with SALT - FWUL 2.5 persistent.

I get to the welcome screen but when I press enter on 'FWUL 2.5 persistent' it says no such directory.

I have chosen -linux ,arch linux32bit (64bit wasn't available on my laptop) after following steps to create the .vdi drive in VirtualBox directory
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fil3s:
Nevermind ,I had to use x64 arch Linux.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdembiske:
We should move this over to the FWUL thread.

First, confirm you have downloaded only from this location in the FWUL OP for the persistent versions (my concern here is that you have downloaded a forgetful version):

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=214529

Make sure you are running the latest version of (Windows) VirtualBox and that you have installed the Extension Pack as well.

Even if your Windows PC/laptop is 32bit, the VirtualBox drop-down menu should allow you, in the 'New' setup menu, to select Linux and under that entry, the 64bit Arch Linux OS (it should be right above or below the 32bit version in the drop-down menu) - that is what FWUL is based on ... i.e., it doesn't matter that your PC/laptop is 32bit.

Ensure you are matching your .img file name in the conversion command exactly to the

persistent

.img file name you downloaded, extracted and moved over to the VirtualBox original install folder to run the conversion command. Copying and pasting the conversion command from my post, is the most error free way to do it, provided the file name matches exactly to the .img file you downloaded.

Important

: Insure you have enough available hard drive space on you PC/laptop to install the size of FWUL .vdi disk you created, in addition to the .img file you downloaded.

Check the following two locations on your PC/Laptop hard drive for the .vdi file you created from the conversion command.

C:\Users\Your_User_Name\VirtualBoxVMS

C:\Users\Your_User_Name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\

If you need to try again, remove the FWUL install and delete all FWUL related files - double check the two file locations above to make sure there are no FWUL related files there whatsoever.

Any further questions, please post to the FWUL thread.
