[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] trojancreeper:
Hey, I've been using Kangvip rom for the Mate10Pro from this (https://xdaforums.com/mate-10/help/kangvip-rom-t3738379)

It comes rooted with Supersu, and got TWRP up and running.

Now I thought of comming back to the stock version of the phone, and having a problem with that.

First my bootloader is unlocked and FRP is locked, Enable Oem unlocking in Devs Settings is off and greyed out, when trying to flash from the full OTA (from this website)

http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=bla-l29C432B129&firmware_page=0

Based on my Version BLA-l29C432B129

When I try to flash something, an error appears with Command not allowed, I read that I should relock the bootloader so I did try, but got the error " Root type is risk" so it didn't work.

Same problem in TWRP, everything is SDCARD is encrypted so I can't have a zip or boot image there.

Heard you could system upgrade with inbuilt huawei software, but only allows an external sd card :/

I'd just want to return to stock firmware , stock recovery and unrooted :)

I will provide as much information as I can!

Kind Regards Felipe

P Developer Preview 1 is here!

https://developer.android.com/preview/index.html

Keep in mind:

Performance and battery

System and app performance is known to be periodically slow and janky, and devices may become occasionally unresponsive. These problems may become more acute with prolonged use.

Battery life may be regressed in this early release for screen-on and screen-off use cases.

I am not able to spend the time flashing DP1 at the moment, but if someone does, I would be extremely appreciative if they could let me know if the multi-touch bug introduced in Android 8.1.0 has been fixed! Thanks in advance... https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/70344455
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] gee2012:
Unless you don`t flash it on your daily driver i suggest to wait till the second version wich is ususaly more stable.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrkhigh:
Do the locked Verizon pixels have the ability to flash this? And if they do, can they flash back?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DaKoin:
How did you guys flash Android P. i keep getting errors when i click flash all.bat
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] renzo.olivares:
I had the same issue, I had to update my platform-tools through the sdk manager, and used the flash-all command from the cmd.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DaKoin:
didnt work for me

Thanks for replying. I downloaded the latest platform tools as well. when you say you used the flash all command you mean the flash-all.bat file found in the goolge factory image zip file...i did that but it gave a few errors then booted back up and i was still on android 8.1.0.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jawshdarnit:
Has anyone uploaded the notification sounds from Android P yet? If so, link me up! ?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AaronGavin:
Hmm looking at videos of it I'm not sure if I like the new notification panel/quick toggles but I do enjoy seeing all those good features they have put in hopefully more will come with future previews

And who knows maybe the new panel will grow on me like the lighter theme on oreo did lol
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] renzo.olivares:
What I meant was I used the included flash-all.sh. So what I did was extract the factory images contents into the platform-tools folder. Then I navigated to the platform-tools folder using command prompt and then ran the "flash-all" command. Hope that helps
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DaKoin:
didnt work for me

that didnt work, it says at the end :

Device version-bootloader is 'mw8998-002.0059.00'.

Update requires 'mw8998-002.0067.00'.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] renzo.olivares:
Have you tried flashing the march image first, then the developer preview? That is also one of the steps i took when having problems but am unsure if that solved it.

Which phone are you using? And is it operator locked?

---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------

Also if you are using pixel 2 xl. You will have to unlock critical files after unlocking the bootloader. $fastboot flashing unlock_critical

Android P screenshots
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DaKoin:
had to resort to a custom script

I tried flashing march factory image it was giving problems just the same. i used toolkit that didnt help either what i tried was to use deuces toolkit and that worked and i flashed march update. then i tried to do Android P still wouldnt work. used Deuces toolkit with android p and it worked like a charm.

---------- Post added at 07:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 AM ----------

I'm using Pixel 2 and it is not locked. I tried critical unlock, that did not work, so i just used regular "fastboot flashing unlock " i go tit to work in the end but i had to use Deuces custom script to flash the files.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] TinoQ:
Which kernel version is used ?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00293:
I flashed it from Mac on pixel 2 from Google and had no issues. The settings UI is different but overall, pretty solid. Not had any issues so far.

One issue I experienced was not able to modify DND for car driving mode. I wanted to set it to priority and it stays in alarm only.

The options you see when you long press to get to launcher settings is always visible in a layer if you watch closely. This becomes more visible when you pull up the drawer.

/usr/local/bin/mke2fs failed with status 1

error: Cannot generate image for userdata

Im getting this error when trying to flash the dev preview. Anyone know how to fix it?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Download the latest platform-tools from: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html#download

Once you extract and list the contents, you will notice it has its own mke2fs. Assuming you are on *nix based platform running a bash shell, set the PATH to pick that instead of /usr/local/bin.

Ex:

export PATH=/your/path/to/platform-tools:$PATH

This should fix your problem (since I had experienced it a while ago)
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JAYNO20:
I like the screenshot option in the power menu. Anyone able to port that to Oreo? ;)
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fadelight:
I'm having trouble let getting the PC to recognize the phone once it's in recovery. Started on windows... Read a ton of threads about windows being an issue, so I switched to Linux... Same issue. Adb is recognized when the phone is booted but not once it's in recovery. Bummer. :(
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jucacarvalho1987:
Will we have any beta program where we can flash the beta versions using OTA?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sman999:
Try to select the device driver manually as "adb device" in the windows 10 device manager. it should solve the issue.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mikulec:
In May according to their timeplan
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fadelight:
I tried that as well. I really thought switching to Linux would bypass the issues I was having with windows. I find it odd that it was responding the same way.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sman999:
Tried a different USB cable? USB port? also have you selected "sideload an Ota via adb" in recovery.?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pandemic187:
I have to agree here. Change for the sake of change is often not beneficial. I much prefer the 8.1 quick settings - they are simpler and look better. The ones on P just look tacky. That, plus the fact that it definitely seems glitchy, made me go right back to 8.1.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fadelight:
Yup. All the common problems / solutions have been checked. I've been using adb since 2011 so I'm pretty used to it. That means it's either an actual issue, or it's going to be something so stupid I'm going to feel 2" tall when I figure it out.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsuraDas:
I maybe a minority but I like the visual aesthetics.. don't like the time to the left but I understand the notch dilemma as more OEMS want to slim down the bezel and adding more advanced features to the FFC. Then of course the blatant apple copy cats. I do agree that quick settings isn't as useful however this is the 1st developer preview.

In any case people always complain about visual changes and then once it becomes the norm we get use to it
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] worldsoutro:
Threads like these make me sad. Google shouldn't release such early state previews. As many times as it is stated that these are not good to put on daily driver, people still do then ***** about things not working or how things look.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsuraDas:
This isn't meant to be a daily driver, in fact Google discourages people from installing it. It's also probably why the dev preview OTA isn't available yet. Probably by DP 2 or 3 it will be available
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] gee2012:
So true, this preview is meant for developers and OEMS only.

Guys, I've added speaker amplifiers patches and andoid P support into latest release of my mod, is there anyone, who can try & tell if it works (bootloops, how sounds compared to stock, etc)?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] thesebastian:
I'll try to update when the beta program is released (so it will be with a newer DP). However, first I'll ask if the Performance is the same or better than stable Android. (I generally had bad performance with the first 1 or 2 Android betas). I don't mind to use beta Android if the bugs are some fc's etc, only about performance.

e.g.:

First 2-3 Lollipop DP were crap in performance.

Mashmallow and Nougat DP I think they were fine from the start.

In Oreo; I didn't like the first DP, too slow to execute apps, but the 3rd DP was totally fine.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
I've been pleasantly surprised that I'm able to run the it with no issues at all, good performance, and great battery life.

how toget back to 8.1?

anybody know how roll back to 8.1?

after updating to android P,there're some bugs that I can't stand,so I tried to roll back.

but I can't open the oem unlock bar in developer options in settings, It's drving me crazy,

anyone can help me?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] arnavde:
Which device are you using? And also is it locked with operator or unlocked?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] thesebastian:
You should flash-all 8.1 image wiping (again) your phone. Same way you installed P.

It's pixel 2, it's lockd by me after flashing Android P,now I want to roll back, can't unlock bl now
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] thesebastian:
After flashing P and manually relocking the bootloader. Haven't you disabled "OEM Unlocking" option in developer options?

That's the only option I know that should prevent the bootloader from being unlocked (again).

Sent from my Pixel 2
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] arnavde:
Check dev options if OEM unlock is turned on.

USB debugging should be on. Mine was turned of after flashing P.

I also have gone back to stock 8.1 from P. Faced no problems.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AlexPhang:
Everything need to be on is on, did you unlock bl,when you flashing back?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] arnavde:
Yes i unlocked my bootloader while flashing back to Oreo
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AlexPhang:
I did turn off oem unlock, now I'm try to turn it back on in develop option, but it just had no response
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] thesebastian:
No idea...this is something that might be reported as a bug of this DP1.

Months ago there were some issues with unlocking the bootloader maybe this is related...but I can't recall the symptoms that those users were having. (E.g. if they also weren't unable to tick that option or if the option was just "grayed out" as not available)

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
Can you let us know what kinds of bugs? Part of the community benefit to running developer previews is that we can pool our experiences. I'm interested to test and see what kind of issues you're having, and if I'm having the same ones.

So far I've had no issues at all on P DP1, at least in terms of what I'm using, I'm able to run all my same applications as 8.1 and have had no bugs. Some things are even better, like battery life, the annoying Gmail sync issue is gone, etc.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] arnavde:
I faced problems while picking up second call and also call conferencing.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AlexPhang:
Alright, mostly it's the problem of network, because I'm in China, there are some "special" reasons, so I cannot use Google service, FB, etc. In Android Oreo, I can use shadowsocks to download and update apps from play store, I can sync calender, contacts, Google keep, and other stuff. But in Android P, I can't download apps, can't update apps, can't sync Google service,and I don't know why,so I think it's a bug of new update, at least for me, who living in China. Another thing, many apps I often use can't open in Android P, actually it's app developers' fault, but Android P did cause some inconvenience, like sharing bikes apps, which is very popular in China, and I need use them to go to work.For things like battery life, lags, I'm okay with them, cause it's a beta preview system.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
Good battery life
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jascolli:
I ran the DP1 for a day but switched back to oreo because Gmail wasn't syncing for me. From what I'm reading though, others don't seem to have this issue. What is the general consensus on Gmail? Is it working for you guys? If so, I may give it another try.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
For me it's the exact opposite. Gmail wasn't syncing for me on 8.1 (February or March), but it is syncing on DP1.

As far as I've read, nobody knows what's up with the Gmail syncing issue.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] gee2012:
DP1 is running great for me, only my bank app stops because of the higher API level of Android P. But not a big deal for me. For the rest P seems smoother and more responsive than O and batterylife is also good, wifi/4G connections all work without issues and no issues with apps syncing.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] RichRatsch:
Some Apps crashing

Loving the "P" look & feel, features, performance and stability

Most Apps work smooth, around 20% crash while opening (Nine Mail, Skype, My Banking App,..)

I tried deleting App Data and re-installing them, but this didn't help

Any chance to solve this without a factory reset? Installing newer Google Services Beta ?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] xFirefly93:
This is something that the app developers have to fix/patch because of API differences between Android O and P.

Just wait a few weeks/one month and it will be patched! :)
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
I'm using Nine with no crashes, I installed via the factory image with a full wipe.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] RichRatsch:
Thanks guys!

So it seems I need to do a full wipe.

I sideloaded the P OTA via ADB.

I'm not rooted, bootloader is locked.

Is a factory reset enough / does the same job?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] rft183:
Yeah, I sideloaded the OTA and found that none of my email programs worked properly! They all ended up crashing as soon as I'd open them. I ended up going back to Oreo. Now I'm tempted to try loading the factory image of P to see if it makes a difference.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] RichRatsch:
Maybe a kind fellow XDA member can confirm, if this could solve our issue?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sahilarora2003:
Installed it yesterday and no problems so far. Every connection is working perfectly. Just key pressing issues exist as there is a lil delay while pressing a key. Better than Oreo. We will have to wait until second release to see it as more stable.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] KMHartford:
When uninstalling andriod P. With locked bootloader can you downgrade to any version of Oreo 8.1, or only the last version of Oreo installed before upgrading to Android P
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] nickporwal:
Not sure but you have to be connected with internet. I faced this issue long time back on nexus 6p. I connected with wifi, closed settings, again open the developer options. It was enabled.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
It's worth trying. I hadn't intended to factory reset, but I was bootlooping after installing P so I had to reset in order to get the device to boot.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
The only way to revert is by flashing via the fastboot. If you use an unlocked bootloader, you are stuck too you get DP2, resister to the beta program and hopefully that will offer you a way to get the previous version when you sign out of the beta program.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] KMHartford:
Good to know,

My bootloader is Verizon locked, so I didn't want to risk being stuck so I didn't actually Flash DP1
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] slyr114:
Anyway to disable the API not compatible messages from toast notifications popping up? Seems stable so far.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MoervYO:
When I flashed the OTA, apps like Gmail, Timehop and Snapchat were crashing. Is it true that this can be fixed by performing a factory reset after flashing Preview 1?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] RichRatsch:
Absolutely, can confirm. Had the same issue, after the factory reset everything works like a charm.

Loving P!

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] thesebastian:
If you already read the topic and you are good. Go ahead.

I'd personally wait for Preview 2. If they add that to the android beta program after a 2-3 days I'll jump in. If not, I'll just wait for the android Beta program OTA.

Preview 1*(initial release, alpha)

Preview 2*(incremental update, beta)

Preview 3*(final APIs and official SDK, Play publishing, beta)

Preview 4*(release candidate for testing)

Preview 5*(release candidate for final testing)

Final release*to AOSP and ecosystem

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] hanschke:
I dont think it is a good idea? 90% crashed for my. K9 Mail for example too.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] xFirefly93:
Because nearly no apps have been optimized for the API and framework changes that Android P comes with.

Better wait until P is moving into a stable release, then..

You can sideload ota's via adb but you can't go back so if you update to P and don't like it you're trapped till later

I have a device with unlock bootloader issues. I sideloaded Android P OTA and used from release. So I needed to wait for next dated OTA so yesterdays OPM2.171019.029 OTA sideloaded

fine. I did have to : recovery, factory reset. Which was explained in P instructions. So back to "normal" for me. Project Fi worked as well with P as production 8.1.

I kinda think battery life was less, no much. Wasn't happy that messager has downgraded Blocking notifications from per group message to Global. Which is a PIA.
