Guys do you even learn? Never trust the support person. Time tells everything. Remember the state we were in before the beta, "oh we will not receive Oreo", "some Oreo features will be backported", "we won't receive Oreo at all". Please...

Yup exactly.The Honor india executives said the same for Honor 8 long back but later backtracked on the decision and said it was under testing and will get it
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] malnabokor:
So was for P9 as well. (it is in the article).
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] agraceful:
LMFAO. Ok ok, first like hack said, support team members know absolutely nothing. If you've never worked at one of those call centers you wouldn't get it. Remember when they denied it completely and the CEO literally said the exact opposite? Lol. Maybe instead of being negative, start having a better attitude. I mean why would they continue to update the beta if they are going to drop it? Makes no sense sorry. But hey, you believe what you want bud.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nisde25:
If they f**k up the oreo update it will surely be my last honor device, this is just rubbish. I will get a device that has android one but it won't be a honor device, I think xiaomi can bring a lot cheaper device to the table and with android one support.

B520 is beta, waiting for next oreo "stable" build. :D
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kmry:
Mate 8 and P9 oreo is canceled due to "hardware limitations" (BS), i think they will do the same to us.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] k13tas:
Yes, I'm afraid that oreo for honor 8 is very unlikely at this point... :(
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Giuskiller:
Other bull****? If there were REALLY hardware limitations, they wouldn't have done a beta firmware...i guess. Plus, who managed to install oreo isn't facing major bugs (maybe camera? Idk)....so i hope they don't **** us up again
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tracerlx:
You guys worry way too much about what one article said.

chinese P9 (eva-al10) received the b520 oreo beta build on june 20th, just like the honor 8

why would huawei/honor release an updated build the day after having canceled the beta program for those models?

those rumours about the beta cancelation are false, at the moment at least

Ok Everyone,

This may seem like a weird question but here goes:

Is there anyway to defrag your PPC or even your SD card? Is it even worth it? I was just curious how you can keep you ppc tuned up after installing and uninstalling various cab files.

it's not really worth it

people defrag hd's because hd's have seek times

because the readhead have to move across the platter

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] landshark68:
As the other reply wrote, you can't flash TWRP recovery onto the Verizon S7 because the bootloader is locked. Can't be done. You need to check the guides in this forum to find out how to flash the few ROMs available.

Running stock - I recently wiped and managed to forget my password. As you all know biometrics won't work upon a fresh reboot. Well, I tried all I could remember and had no success. I found a link to samsung accounts which will remote unlock. Great!

Except now when I boot the phone it's a black backdrop "Please input pw to 'turn on' device'" and can see it's automatically set into airplane mode. I can't access the notification bar, I can't send the unlock command......what can I do?

Do I have to seriously wipe again?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Naturesretard:
don't bother replying as the phone wiped itself. Piece of **** phone software is a hunk of garbage. One single restart locked the whole phone out from ALL connectivity. No wifi, no cell, no anything.

What is the god damn point of remote software to unlock, track, locate devices if ONE ****ING restart locks out the entire software suite? Knox is trash.
[General Questions and Answers] isthisok:
i guess thats correct way to say it. i dont know if i should update 1st or leave it with the current firmware. i am experienced at rooting, but i am still in beginning of class so to say. lol, i have done research and found some cf auto roots that i think will work, but i cant find the answer online . i am looking in all the wrong places. so i decided this would be the right place. thank you for your time if i am lucky enough to get it, lol. i just worry, is this a stupid question?

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] cyberdust:
Interesting. I went to the German support chat and they only asked for email, product ID, serial and IMEI so far. Nothing about a reason whatsoever, but maybe that's yet to come

Edit: Interestingly they say that issuing a unlock code already voids warranty. I don't know what that is about
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Iocere:
That would mean that they store your imei somewhere to identify the phone if you need to send it in for repair wich i cant believe is legal.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] astrokreep:
I may be wrong but when I was using the bottloader unlock page I can swear they said they hold your data about your phone etc for 6 months after getting the code. So I think if you brick it in the first 6 months you can kiss any repairs goodbye.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] JadranB:
Well, I've bricked my P10 after 5 months, and I used code from their page. The authorized Huawei service changed motherboard without problems under warranty, for free. But I wouldn't take this for granted, could be it depends on service facility

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jake.S:
That's false, issuing a unlock code does not void the warranty. It's only when you do unlock the bootloader then it voids the warranty. So German end probably is saying that just to scare so people won't unlock their bootloader.

Bootloader Level Of Effort?

Unfortunately, I e-mailed Huawei UK Support on the 25th of July. I received a reply the next day stating "As of the 25th of July, we're no longer unlocking bootloaders". Particularly irritating; I wish I had been two weeks late instead :|

Anyway, I am curious as to what level of effort is involved in cracking the bootloader at this point? Is it something that could feasibly be done by the folks at DC-Unlocker, for example? Or are we now entirely reliant on a leak from Huawei of some kind?

I'm totally ignorant as to what's involved in unlocking a bootloader if it's not done by the manufacturer; I'm a few years out from rooting etc. but the last time I did it was via a tool and didn't involve the OEM at all.

It's blatantly obvious these guys are either working for Huawei, or know people working at Huawei.

Whilst I don't oppose it as it helps the community, they're risking their jobs (their choice) and it doesn't improve things with development or unlocking.

In fact, if Huawei catch staff doing this, it may harden their attitude further.

Are XDA still working on a solution with Huawei (at least for Honor)?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] coretm:
hi guys! the best way is to sell your phone !! Huawei company must understand what a bad thing they do with people :) they got the choice of people !! I decide to buy new a new mobile of Huawei but I refuse to buy it :) still, there are the more mobile company which you can unlock the bootloader
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] colthekid:
Why? Could they have not just found an exploit themselves? That's certainly what happened with some of the S-Off solutions that came out for the HTC Phones.

Again, why? Having to pay for unlocking certainly hasn't hindered development on other manufacturers phones. In fact where the manufacturer themselves doesn't allow it, I would say it can only improve things otherwise development would be completely nonexistant.

Harden it from "no more unlocking" to what..."really, really, no more unlocking. We really, really mean it"? :D

But I buy Huawei phones because I like them! What are you suggesting? Samsung? Really, really not thanks very much!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Cactus42:
As above, I bought Huawei because I like it. This is also a non solution - if you are selling a phone you already own, the manufacturer already has their money.
