Don't take culiacanthelphimselfsometimes seriously, obviously. We're all super frustrated with Huawei and the lack of love towards our variant. And with more pending US-China issues, let's see what will happen. And our government just accused Huawei of stealing more things.

The name change to the new long one, feom bla-a09: I can't speak on that. But, if you have the big update file, and extract recovery from it, then you'll be keeping everything consistent, and you should be alright.

EDIT - try to make a copy of that file to your internal storage so that you can manipulate it after the update (if you decide to take it). Otherwise, the update will install and the file will get deleted.

Losing bootloader unlock: all of us that were unlocked with Pie and took the Oreo upgrade did NOT lose the bootloader unlock. If I remember correctly, we did lose it, but we just redid the unlocking steps, and we were unlocked once again.

There is uncertainty and no way of making a backup so that if something fails you could restore. So why not stay as you are? Of course, the update app will continue to try it, and you will probably wake up one morning with Oreo installed. Perhaps that's your destiny, and even if that happens and you're unable to unlock and root, you still have a pretty awesome phone with amazing battery life.

Those are my thoughts. Cautious, sure. But that's the best huaway to approach this phone, in my opinion. Cautiously.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] sdspieg:
Thanks much for that again - very useful! A few comments - inline

I just didn't understand what I had done to deserve his wrath - since he seems to have given useful advice to others before. So I just wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. But so thanks for setting me straight on this one :)

I can't wait for the day

that people (and especially governments) will stop playing these stupid 'geopolitical' games. [And that happens to be the area that I work in :) ].

that Huawei starts realizing that it can make a lot more money internationally by playing the 'open' card. I bought this phone just because I knew it was a great phone, produced at volume, that they allowed us to unlock our bootloader - so all of this, I thought, would lead to a vibrant community and great ROMs. They could still make 'special' closed firmware for the Chinese and/or Russian, and/or other similar markets, but then have open software for the rest of us

that Western governments also start basing their decisions on companies like Huawei based on facts (which are a LOT easier to ascertain in an open model), rather than on politics. And BTW - that is what most 'normal' Western governments - and, alas, on many topics the current US administration no longer belongs in that category - have been doing. Still being cautious, but letting facts talk louder than prejudice - AND giving Huawei an honest chance to address concerns we might have.

Just to make it clear - it HAD a longer name initially (and I think I posted it higher up), bu it started with BLA-A09, whereas now it starts with BLA-LGRP2. I understand that BLA-A09 was the US version, I haven't quite been able to figure out what region LGRP2 stands for.

Ok - I WILL still try that this weekend.

Will do

Ok - so at least now I know. The thing is that I used the Huawei site (when it was still up) to unlock. But I have been looking in all of my mailboxes to find the email I must have received with the code, but I can't find it. Can any of you tell me what I should look for in my mailbox? I tried huawei and unlock and bootloader, but couldn't find it. Or - alternatively - if there was a file that they sent us, what was the name of that file? I should still have it somewhere on my harddrive then.

Thanks for that sensible advice. I think I will still try extracting and installing that recovery this weekend, as I guess very little can go wrong that. If that allows me to reacquire root, I can still try to follow your initial suggestion with the EMUI flasher. If it doesn't work, I guess I'll just go ahead with the update. And if you guys can help me to find my unlock code in my mailbox or on my hard drive, I could still be in business.

But so thanks again for all of this, nabril15 - you're a class act!

What did he do to be deserving of YOUR wrath?

On a different note, told ya!
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] revjamescarver:
Government

Problem with Huawei is first off that they have direct ties to the Chinese government, as with all Chinese phones (the Chinese variants) they spy on the users, so in that Huawei is no different than the rest. As far as them spying on the US users, really who knows, I am sure that for the majority of us, we really don't have anything they want unless they start wholesale mining of our personal information. Knowing how tied to the Chinese government most companies are (after all they are still a communist country), if I was working for the government I would stay from any unapproved devices. The Chinese government has a long history of spying and hacking our computers and infrastructure (fact) so let the users decide.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Dude, just watch this (even if you've seen it before; this particular time really do pay attention) 0:50 - 1:50 (ONE MINUTE)

If you're feeling lazy, allow me to sum it up in a request:

Can you tell me the difference between a) NSA's DOMESTIC, UNWARRANTED,

CONTINUOUS

surveillance and

ALL

that entails (such as Google's, Apple's, Amazon's, Facebook's, etc. obligation to comply to government requests AND not even being able to disclose the nature of such requests not mattering if it takes place AFTER "such and such" case is wrapped up AND without disclosing ANY personal details whatsoever... just to give you ONE example) and b) Chinese companies' obligation to cooperate with the Chinese government?

EDIT

P.S. I'm in no way an insider, just an average Joe; however, my opinion is based on someone having belonged to the U.S. Armed Forces (right after 9/11, mind you!)

I don't have the facts but I can see this is about tech supremacy, REGARDLESS OF HOW ACCURATE the US government's assertions of what the Chinese COULD do are. Nothing at present, though, is accurate or true for that matter.

They spy, for the record, on citizens and foreigners alike, entrepreneurs the world over as well as political leaders; be them allies or foes, wartime or peacetime. With Huawei though, might be difficult to ask to hand over data....

One last snack for thought: why are OnePlus and multiple other Chinese companies allowed? They are, after all, Chinese! Doesn't their argument stand here? Hmm...

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Truly, truly touching a NO ZONE as far as (XDA) content goes
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] revjamescarver:
Exactly...

Not saying ANYTHING regarding the NSA and the **** they pull all the time, my comment was regarding the Chinese government, there are constant malicious attacks by Chinese government connected entities on our computers and infrastructure (read any computer firms papers on the matter). As far as why the US government is specifically targeting Huawei is more likely to be because of their subsidiaries doing business with Iran more than anything else. With what just happened however with Huawei being put on the entities list means US companies are barred from doing business with Huawei, meaning no Google, no Microsoft, nobody can do business with them. This is basically a disaster for Huawei on every level, no Google certification (no play store, no updates), no windows on their tablets or laptops. (Unless of course they settle with the government like ZTE had to)

"Alex, I'll take MASSIVE TANGENTS for $300 please"
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
I wasn't up to speed on it being "out of the game" like ZTE had at one point been.

What i see here on the US part is "patadas de ahogado" (Spanish idiom, which tries to paint a picture of someone fighting for dear life when life is all but gone, as if by reflex, like when you're drowning and you know that's it, yet stil your body can't help but gasping desperately for air (just to finish off drowning).

Anyhow. Good thing for we have open Kirin.

And if you want my last, honest opinion on the subject: it'll hurt them, but they will be just fine; they aren't no ZTE by laps and laps around the globe. They're better positioned to weather this: look how far they've made it WITHOUT the U.S?

I don't know on the commercial front (e.g., U.S. slaps tariffs worth 300 billion while China can only come up with 60 billion's worth to retaliate), but on the technological end (make no mistake: 5G is game-changing the world over!), I see (fortunately for me?! unfortunately? - ... Since I'm American!) that the US needs Huawei more than Huawei needs the US. Telecomm is what we're talking about here, and all which that encompasses (READ: EVERYTHING!)

Those who frown upon the "Wei", will be left behind in this race to incorporate what's coming into new and so far mostly unimaginable ways of living, governing, doing business, communicating, etc. (I can only imagine it's similar to our lives before and after the (gas) engine was invented, before and after dialup, before and after vaccines. I can only guess since it's like trying to declare the cellphone will be invented before you know of its existence).

But believe me, you can rest assured this is not about no alleged Apple patent or any OS or about well rounded, fully equipped, state of the art devices. Why do you think all this has escalated as it has? What's more, why do you think China, the country right up there in the big leagues along with the States, is so fiercely sticking up for it?

What would have been a better approach is (implicitly having admitted inferiority) and collaborated with China AS FRIENDS for that 5G...

But that 'carrot' was too proud!

As it stands now the only way is to annihilate their prowess and superiority any way they can, which, shamefully, is exactly what they're doing.

I mean, come on! The US doesn't beat around the bush, if they had something concretely and conclusively against Huawei they would have acted upon it like yesterday. Or yesteryear! They're only bullcrapping and looking around to see if someone's with them, approvingly.

Sorry, i ranted, i know it has little at this point to do with anything that resembles a reply to your post, rej.

Ok, so, this is how it feels? I must admit you got me. Can you interpret now? :(

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] revjamescarver:
I was going to reply to that rambling post but I'll just post it here, take it for whatever it's worth. Huawei Mobile Services should NOT be installed unless you have a Chinese variant of this device. It is NOT a replacement for Google services. Google s banned in China hence the replacement from Huawei. They also have their own app store as well, filled with hacked, pirated, and generally unauthorized copies of apps from Google play.

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Ok, I'll grab the steering wheel a second, and turn the car (this thread) off the road by asking this:

How easy or difficult or cosmic is it to install an OpenKirin Rom on this thing?

Sure, there's a thread, and a separate link for OK, but will it work on our variant? I asked at that thread months ago, and I was told that it won't work by a senior member. Culiacanmention mentioned OpenKirin a few posts ago as an option, and so I curiously ask.

I think that you're suggesting that we stop using the Google play store in light of the recent worldwide hatred towards Huawei and the continuing suspensions and bans. Am I right? Please just say yes or no.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:

[MENTION=518121]tokoam[/MENTION] Battery life is bad and the led notification doesn't work on both of those roms?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tokoam:
Battery life is decent but you get way better optimization on battery on emui Notification led doesn't work on any phone I guess its a system wide issue on openkirin .Also headphone audio didn't work on RR not sure about Omni but yeah its the little things that get annoying running openkirin roms cause they are always in beta stage not everything works and they have a huge array of phones to cover.I would recommend sticking to EMUI 9 for stability,I would love to run it cause it is very fast due to it being such a small footprint.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] revjamescarver:
Use your head

Why in the hell would anyone want two sets of mobile services installed on their device? You do know that they have processes that are always running do you not? Having both Huawei and Google mobile services installed and running at the same time doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
You don't make a lot of sense! They're not duplicates. If you don't know, that's fine and all, but one would be wise to refrain from so energetically condemning that which he ignores!

Why do I? Because one of them is actually helpful. And the other one i "have to' have it.

And just because they're both Mobile Services does NOT mean they're like Coke and Pepsi or Honda and Toyota.

And again, that's why one doesn't replace the other!

However, shall you ever misplace your device, you can at least talk to really, and I'll give them that, really nice people over at Huawei.

Try talking to anyone in Google.

I've attached some usage, bear in mind that because of their logo, I've noted Huawei's usage in red, although judging by the numbers, i should have saved it for Google.

In fact, in one case scenario, Huawei's usage was so small i could do the split window thing.

Ultimately, we got a powerful device, stop tripping when you're in all likelihood using up more resources than me, I've got Yalp and Newpipe INSTEAD, not simultaneously, opposed to the "services"! That right there already more than makes it up: try THAT with your apps and DO post your results!

A little note and apology, for some reason when i upload pics thru Labs on my 60 (6T), they go sideways... :confused:

Ha! They didn't upload sideways this time

I also bet the apps you actually NEED alive don't get murdered left and right because of EMUI's overly aggressive "optimization"...

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] revjamescarver:
You don't have a clue...

I swear, do you even have a brain that functions? Huawei has their own mobile services for ONE reason, that is because Google services are BANNED in China and it is illegal to use them. Instead of just rambling on about things you no nothing about maybe you should do a little research as to why they have their own mobile services. And yes they ARE a replacement for Google services for their Chinese customers.

What, are you the grammar police all of a sudden? Give me a break buckwheat...
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
I loved the buckwheat reference. No, I'm not the police of anything. It just annoys me constantly when words are misspelled or misused (their vs there vs they're or mines or countless other grammatical errors that occur God knows why) and to blame our keyboard's autosuggest feature.

And all of a sudden it became acceptable to begin a subject by saying "me, my friend and a cousin..." , for example, instead of the correct way.

I would love to be around when archeologists dig up or texts and tweets and whatevers only to discover that we became a bunch of morons that used the words "like" and "goes" ad-nauseum, and that a perfect and beautiful language was butchered circa 2000s by shortening everything and by referring to ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING in the present tense; "6 years ago, i was like skiing, and my friend goes down the hill and hits someone."

Hopefully, though doubtful, you found the mistakes in that sentence.

I have noticed that if I open the camera app, aim it at the floor or wherever, and I DO NOT take a picture. If I press the recents button, the app camera thumbnail will be there of course, but it will show the image of the floor or to wherever the camera last pointed.

Does that happen to any of you? Is that last image seen by the camera lens stored in the cache or somewhere?
