I'd like to warn some about damage done to my phone during the installation of the SGFresh InvisShield. My phone was permanently damaged during installation. LOCA leaked into the speaker grills and damaged the microphone. It works but is a noticeably muffled. Also, either alcohol used for clean up or the LOCA messed up the finish on the back of the phone. It's kind of matte and lost some luster.

Here's what happened:

I followed the installation instructions perfectly, but LOCA leaked out all over the phone and I ended up with several bubbles. So I followed troubleshooting steps to remove bubbles (wrap one end and pry up the protector on the other). This just resulted in the bubbles moving to the middle of the screen and staying intact. Worse when I unwrapped the end, the LOCA had leaking into the speaker grill. Since, I refused to cure the LOCA inside the speaker grill, I had no choice but to remove the protector the clean out the grill. Removing the protector with wet LOCA, means the LOCA is free to leak all over the device. I had to thoroughly clean my phone with with rubbing alcohol. The back plastic looks pretty bad now. I think the solvent in the LOCA jacked it up.

In spite of that, I tried again with the second LOCA application (they include two) and had the same experience. I think the amount of LOCA they sent me was simply too much. On top of that the LOCA burns your skin. The LOCA containers have a little stopper in them that has to be removed with your fingernail. I have red burns on the tips of my fingers and I threw away $52 (including shipping).

Edit: If you decide to purchase this screen protector, wpy's suggestion to cover the speakers with tape is a very good idea.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] benpage:
I really appreciate the thoughtful response, but I won't be giving this product a second chance. It nearly ruined my microphone. I spent the last hour letting rubbing alcohol soak in the bottom speaker and then blowing it out with canned air. People can sort of hear me now. I'm going to clean it a few more times and hope for the best.

I did 2 installs of the sgfresh invisShield. First one i installed it misaligned with the front facing camera and had a glare when using the front facing camera so i did a fresh install with a 2nd glass panelA. Second install went well and i am satisfied with their product, I too was very concerned with the loca flowing inside the front speakers so before both install i taped the front speaker with clear 3m tape. taped just to the very edge of the speaker and it prevented the loca to flow inside the speakers. The loca does stings when in contact with skin and face so be carefull. Excess loca will leak on the sides so i place the phone on a few sheets of paper table napkins to collect the excess loca as it flows out of the sides then I cured each end for 20 seconeds then cleaned the phone sides with wipes and alcohol. after cleaning i cure again for a couple of minutes. Also i used maybe 1 + 1/4 of the provided loca my reasoning was a bit more is better than it not reaching the edges of the glass. Also as a tip to removed the air bubbles on the edges lift gently pass the bubble then apply a bit of pressure when pressing down so that the bubble will be pushed out. it seem if you do it too gently the bubble just stays in place. Hope this help. i am satisfied with the product.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] luigidk:
I love my invisishield. Just followed the video instructions.

No loca in speakers.

Bubbles were removed easily during installation by using the method described.

Sorry to hear you had so many challenges
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Mikulec:
No problem here, installation went fine on the first try.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] luigidk:
Maybe such a deflamatory post should be moderated and removed.

Personally I don't think it's rude or inaccurate - the post just reflects one person's experience and opinion. Others here may have similar experience, or different / better experience - and are free to share their opinions as well. I think a site like this would lose credibility if it were to filter out anyone's negative experiences, even if other folks have positive experiences with the same products or services. If somebody is rude, lies, or is disrespectful that's a problem (IMHO), but this is simply a matter of people sharing their own experiences.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kaped31:
That sucks that the LOCA leaked all over the speakers. Mine did not go into the speakers until I tried fixing a bubble. Even then I covered it up with a dust removal sticker and cured it and then cleaned it with some alcohol and a toothbrush (did not pour alcohol on to the speaker. Just on the toothbrush and then lightly brushed). Product is great though!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Mikulec:
On the other hand, there is already a thread about this screen protector. Why not to post it there? Why the need to make it so much more visible by screating new thread?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] benpage:
I'm not sure if you meant defamatory or inflammatory. My post isn't defamatory. I only described my experiences.

I can sort of see how the title could be taken as inflammatory. I changed the title and tweaked the first paragraph based on your feedback.

My phone was permanently damaged during installation. My microphone works but is a noticeably muffled. My intention was to make sure people know this is a real risk. I didn't want the warning lost in a thread with 600 messages. There have been some very good replies to this thread. It now has good information on how to avoid this problem and how to recover from it. I think this thread could end up being very helpful to some people.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Mikulec:
All the info here is already in the original thread and also in the installation manual videos on youtube.

EDIT: looks like your thread was moved to the original thread.

I've done Whitestone loca and just ordered the sgfreshidea as Whitestones warranty is a joke. The kit I got from white stone had stickers to cover speaker grills and sponges to absorb any run off on the edges.. I'm not sure what sgfreshidea kit comes with as I have not received it yet. But to anyone else. Cover anywhere the the screen protector will not be. Clear tape should work. even with the Whitestone I had some run off but no issues getting into anything it shouldn't.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] butterbeanmash:
Easier said than done - the InvisShield sits absolutely flush with the edge of the speaker grills.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] letrain02:
The white stone is pretty close. I only did one application with my Whitestone kit (Which they wanted me to ship everything back at my expense, and charge $15 handling fee to send me my "warranty replacement", i can get 2 protectors from sgfreshidea for that price). The tabs they send actually lock into the frame they send that you set the phone in. And the tab-tape they send with white stone just barely cover the to the edge of speaker. So with the whitestone kit it's easier to get it right at the edge. I'll see how they work with the sgfreshidea when they they get here and report back. Maybe these tabs can be found elsewhere? As I found with the whitestone having a little missing local on the edge was not s killer... It takes a lot to life the screen off. But dust did kind of collect on one of the edges. Maybe I'll take the risk and use clear packing tape and no special frame kit and see if I can get it done with regular household items. If I screw up I have extra loca and it only hardens when it's hit with uv.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] mikepopo99:
How i fixed my phone from the same problem.

So I had the same exact problem as you. So this is what i did. I took a toothbrush poured some rubbing alcohol on the speakers. and stared gently brushing it. Then after that go to you tube and play a very high bass song. the pour more alcohol on the speakers and let it sit you'll see the liquid vibrating. then flip it and beat it into a towel really hard. keep poring and flipping it and beating it onto a towel until the speakers sound better. And something for the mic take an ear swab and dip it i the alcohol and tap it into the mic and let it sit then flip it and beat it into a towel. Trust me it works. I just fixed mine I'm so happy. !!!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] def-g:
For $50 this is NUTS!!! I switched to Whitestone cause SG was too difficult and messy. Whitestone glass is also way better. SG gets hazy if u gotta clean LOCA off. But there customer service is TOP NOTCH. Unfortunately if you're in Canada or the US. Delivery is like a month. Which again is NUTS!!!

G
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] tysj:
You use masking tape or the usual Scotch tape (probably any normal consumer level tape would work). I'm surprised no one thought of covering up the speakers for the install.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] mikepopo99:
$45 on Amazon

Wow its $45 on amazon and primed shipping. So have you tried it? Does it come with the kit that helps with installation. Did any of the glue leak on the speakers?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] def-g:
Tried em both. No LOCA leakage whatsoever. Plus u get tabs to cover the grills as a precaution. The kit makes installation a breeze. The only thing u need to do is properly clean the screen. With SG the protector doesn't come with protective film. So u have to clean that also. Making the chance of getting particles on the screen and thus wrecking the install way higher and alot more stressful. With the WStone Once put on. U don't even know it's there. Clear and fingerprint resistant like the phone screen. Whitestone is the one to get.

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Buran79:
If you only want to relocked your bootloader just use the HWOTA8_Mate 10 tool from the link bellow.

download the tool > go to lock directory > use relock.bat

you'll need to provide your bootloader unlock code to re-locked it.

Hi, i just started thinking about that, just to be sure since i did not get mtp folder in my computer anymore(win 10)

i switched to my laptop win 8.1,

installed the adb driver manually as adb composite interface in normal mtp\debug phone on.

in fastboot the driver said adb sooner single interface

and then when i am supposed to switch inn to the stock recovery modded with adb support,

i get 3 devies with yellow ! in device manager:

1. huawei- device properties and details then choose bus reported device description: huawei

2. unknown device: - device properties and details then choose bus reported device description: adb interface

3. unknown device: - device properties and details then choose bus reported device description: hdb interface

what should i set these to manually?

i am trying to use "flash update" in HWOTA_mate10 guide and i am on step D run ota.

supposed to switch from fastboot to recovery then the script waits for adb connection

Bootloader Unlock not possible - but eRecovery working

[MENTION=2247733]ante0[/MENTION]

I have Mate 10 BLA-L09c432 and installed latest Firmware 8.0.0.157 since two days. I updated with official OTA.

Before I had 8.0.0.137 → on that Firmware I read the Bootloader Unlock Code with DC Unlocker → and I got a new Unlock Code.

The originial Unlock Code did not work anymore (Phone was from a friend of mine and bricked and I restored it by FunkyHuawei - and bought it).

I unlocked the Bootloader with the new Code (read by DC) and it worked.

Two days ago I decided to update with OTA. I reflashed the original recovery_ramdisk and ramdisk.img. Update was succesful.

→ I tried to relock the Bootloader (because I am thinking about to sell the phone) → and it does not work! Not with the originial Code, not with the new Code (read on b137)

I did nothing wrong, because this year I unlocked about 40 devices (because I am helping to repair bricked phones from Users of Android Hilfe de) and I know very well how to do. (OEM Unlock enabled, ADB Debugging and USB Debugging enabled, HiSuite HDB disabled, HiSuite on PC closed, ADB and Fastboot working....)

fastboot oem relock UNLOCKCODE

does not work

But I have no idea yet how to relock the Loader :) I will try once more - but perhaps you or someone has an idea?

So perhaps I should just be happy to have a unlocked Phone and keep it instead of selling it....

Everything else is working.

And I found out some interesting point → seems Huawei started to bring the Feature of eRecovery even to European Versions of his Phones (from a certain firmware version)

I booted to Huawei eRecovery and "Download latest version and Recovery" is running without FunkyHuawei :)
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Pretoriano80:
Use the DLOAD method with the B150 firmware from androidhost.ru, that should lock (not relock) it.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Tecalote:
Thanks Mate :good:

So I have just to check the Xloader thing before
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Pretoriano80:
B150 from androidhost.ru is xloader 2, which build do you have now?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Tecalote:
I have b157 (latest Firmware for c432, installed with official OTA (Full) from b137 to b157)
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Pretoriano80:
Then you can use B150 to downgrade with DLOAD method. That should reset the phone and lock the bootloader, to fabric condition.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Tecalote:
Thanks for your help! :good:

I will do that and report :)
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Tecalote:
[MENTION=2642882]Pretoriano80[/MENTION]

I downloaded the Firmware yesterday.

Just two more questions:

1) Are you sure the downgrade doesn't destroy the phone? I am asking not because of Xloader (which is okay, as you said) but cause of following:

Mate 9 for example on latest Firmware with GPU Turbo can not anymore downgraded, because every downgrade will destroy the phone (same as if going from 02 to 01) even if both Xloader are 02.

2) I have seen, there is also PIE on FH, installable with Nocheck Recovery.

Would this also close the Loader, if I upgrade (instead of downgrade)

Thx ;)
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Pretoriano80:
1) It was already tested a few times, no bricks and everything went smooth (even downgrading from Pie was fine)

2)No,i don't think that will lock your bootloader.

[MENTION=2642882]Pretoriano80[/MENTION] Hi Pretoriano, I'm going to try the dload method to have my phone in a "LOCKED" state instead of a "RELOCKED" one.

I actually rolled back from 9 to 8.0.0.150(C432).

I downloaded a service frimware from androidhostru like you said (still 150C432) and I'm going to use the method 1 first and 2 if it didn't work. My folder structure in my dload folder looks like that, does it looks ok to you ?

Thanks in advance !
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Pretoriano80:

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Pretoriano80:
Good! So you were already on B150?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] SurfaceCube:
Indeed ! I was in the Pie beta, but finally understood how dload method worked after three months (and I got myself an OTG cable recently too). So downgraded to 150 via the usual method, then used eRecovery to "set everything right", updated to 150patch01 and now I got a notice for an official update to Pie beta 108 my bad-
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Pretoriano80:
Oh, so you are saying that you just received the B161 ota uodate? ?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] SurfaceCube:
My bad, was actually the 108 one that everyone got from the beta app one month ago :( Hopefully the 161 or another number will come soon enough :angel:
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Tecalote:
Everything perfect, it worked without any issues. In the folder structure I deleted the folder for BLA-L29 and let only BLA-L09 (because I have L09) I downgraded to b150, Bootloader was original closed as you promised (factory condition) and got after the Patch with OTA and finally b157.

Thanks a lot [MENTION=2642882]Pretoriano80[/MENTION] :good:
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Pretoriano80:
Yes, you can delete one folder, based on the device you own (BLA-L29 or BLA-L09).

However, it seems that DLOAD is failing if you are on Pie B108 or higher.

Due bad support from the Chinese manufacturers, we decided to buy you an device for developing us an stable version, and fix some issues on the device.

First we wanted to ask if somebody can do it, then we wanted to create a list with the issues.

We are almost 30 People and will buy you an unit for experiments.

A German developer is preferred, because of communication.

If you're not german, it is no problem as well. Will just have little communication problems :)

This is the Unit:

As an new user on this forum im not able to put links in.

Just search on aliexpress for "E90 Android" There will all the same.
