[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] Lokzor:
Hey guys my first post here!

I'm having touchscreen issues after the oreo update (android 8). I got the update around 10 days ago.

I'm experiencing the following:

- The most important: Taps not registering sometimes. I used to be able to softly tap anything without any problem, but now my taps are not registering sometimes and i have to double tap.

- Bad scroll detection : the device sometimes recognizes scrolling as a knuckle gesture (crop screenshot) or scroll responsiveness is laggy.

- Tap registering as a knuckle tap. This happened only once. I tapped two times with my finger as the first one didn't register and it took a screenshot.

My use of the phone didn't change since the update and I'm kinda concerned. Is this a software problem? Anyone else experienced something similar?
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] dolon:
I have the same issue! Many times knuckle gestures turns on not recognize correctly the touch.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] djg269:
Reboot phone in recovery mode and select format cache.

Restart and try touchscreen again.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] tomzzi:
Same issues with touch screen response after Oreo update.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] tomzzi:
Format cache does not solve the problem.

Sometimes is not registering finger. Sometimes register as double tap.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] yahord:
This is happening with my phone as well. It also registers phantom input, like occasionally things on far away from my fingers. The YouTube app has been especially sluggish when scrolling or swiping, to the point where it confuses swipes with taps and opens random stuff while lagging, or just crashes. The gboard is also becoming increasingly unpredictable and sometimes it feels like everything is being registered a litte skewed.

I checked the memory in case I got one of the bad ones, but it seems ok. It must be either the screen or a software thing then?
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] Cloud1989:

Hi Guys,

Any suggestions on a good Tempered glass screen protector for our beloved Nokia 7 Plus?

I bought a Colorox brand from Amazon but it turned out to be simple protector not tempered.

Any suggestions or links much appreciated.

Regards.
[Nokia 7 Plus Accessories] vishuxperia:
Ordered one from Amazon, will be delivered tomorrow. Lets see how it is, I'll update here.

Will wait... As mine is crap..

Cheers
[Nokia 7 Plus Accessories] vishuxperia:
Mine is crap too..

It is not even covering full screen and there is a gap too...

I m going for a refund...

Update:

Got my refund from Amazon. I chatted with the representative and she promised me complete refund even if the tempered glass breaks while pulling it out.

Now Ordered a new one we'll see how it is.

Just a piece of advice...

Nano glass is BS
[Nokia 7 Plus Accessories] vishuxperia:
Yes it is. It's not glass it's just a fancy name for screen protector film..

I received two pieces and used the second one my mom's Redmi 4a.

So I kind of like it as there is no gaps on the edges but the screen is not fully covered by it. The edge is not that visible in daily use so there's that....

:confused:

Kind of mixed review here. Buy it on your own risk....
[Nokia 7 Plus Accessories] Xebeck:
.

.good for you...

But try the one I suggested next time...

It's tempered and covers everything and works well with a case...?
[Nokia 7 Plus Accessories] vishuxperia:
Sure absolutely...:)
[Nokia 7 Plus Accessories] jazzzzzzz:
Am also waiting for it to get delivered...
[Nokia 7 Plus Accessories] timurdis:
Since I've already burned my fingers, here is my story..

I purchased this tempered glass from Amazon based on positive reviews it received : https://www.amazon.in/Annure%C2%AE-Tempered-Glass-Screen-Protector/dp/B07CF4CMH7/ref=pd_sim_107_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=GBYV8AP8CSG8Y07B4CFC

I managed to apply the cover without a single bubble but since the since edges were not curved, it remained unfasten across vertical edges & after few days air gaps were filled with dust.

So I went to several phone galleries for a new one where the glasses were either not precised or tad expensive. Later I found a cheap one in a shop (Rs. 250/-) which when applied did not even stick properly to almost 25% of screen & when I told the shopkeeper to reply my old one it already attracted lots of dust so I didn't pay anything but my old glass.

Later in one shop, the shopkeeper suggested me to go for a thin screen guard which was worth Rs 400/- which is my current screen protection. Adhesive is just superb, cause when the device gets warm it sort of looses it's grip across curve (if cover is not curved) & though mine faces the same issue it either sticks automatically or by pressing once device temp goes normal & so far not a single scratch/dust (I travel in dust prone region).

The only cons is that it leaves less than 1 mm display unprotected across vertical edges but I can't complain much since the screen of this device has immediate curve at the end of display & almost 90% of currently available protectors are without precised curve.

So the conclusion is, unless you can find tempered glass with perfect & precised curves go for thin screen guard at least for now since the device is relatively new.
[Nokia 7 Plus Accessories] applesaw:
Did you get it yet and if yes how is it, is it like it is shown in the Amazon pic ? Please let me know

Thanks

*Cheers*
[Nokia 7 Plus Accessories] jazzzzzzz:
I dont know whether it happened to me only,any way my edges where not completely filled, some part of the display is covered with the blacks in the side.So I have requested for a refund...I dont like a screen guard which cut outs the display
[Nokia 7 Plus Accessories] Xebeck:

It was a good experience for me. Some bubbles happen while installing but bgo away in a day or 2.
[Nokia 7 Plus Accessories] pvsvamsi:
Any reliable tempered glass? Can someone suggest one?
[Nokia 7 Plus Accessories] himanshuvatsal:
Please suggest a durable tempered glass for Nokia 7 plus in India. I don't have a problem if the edges are not covered completely or left uncovered an mm or two, since in curved edges phones it is really difficult to protect the edges from bubbles.
[Nokia 7 Plus Accessories] Saswata Chakraborty:
Like some other people already said, since Nokia 7 plus is relatively new, there is no good tempered glass available as of now. But I can suggest you a good screen protector which will protect your screen from getting scratched (ofcourse it cant protect the screen from getting cracked).

Link: https://www.gadgetshieldz.com/nokia-7-plus-screen-protectors-covers-cases.html

GadgetShieldz is a well-known brand for their quality products. There are plenty of videos on YouTube praising GadgetShieldz screen protectors. Although the price is a bit high, but it's worth every single penny.

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] samiller:
I'm considering buying an SHT-W09 with firmware version 8.0.0.200 (C567), but I'd like to know if I can root it first. I do not know if the bootloader has been unlocked. Since you have the same version, can you confirm that it's possible to unlock and root, and if so, sketch out how it's done? I'm confused about whether it's possible with this firmware.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] AndDiSa:
Unlocking is possible *only* if you've gotten already your unlock code. As this service was suspended about 2 years ago there is no easy way to get it unlocked.

Small request to developers, or people with access to reliable file hosting: I don't have a developer account, so all the files I linked or referenced in the OP are hosted on free hosting sites. That file hosting has expiration date and max downloads limit, so the files will become inaccessible sooner rather than later. Please upload these files to reliable hosting and create a post with the links. I will link your post in the OP as a mirror.

In the meantime, mirror for SHT-W09 firmware: https://mega.nz/#!asVjmZrR!bW2OmXgTjnyVN4pqb9fA7OzAJ4bzil7YZxNW14qoCmk

Hello, can somebody test sixaxis controller tool with root and magisk? There is a Trial in Google Play Store, that is called sixaxis compatibility checker without purchise the App. Maybe i want to buy the Tablet, but only with Dualshock 4 Support...
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] MishaalRahman:
Just a heads up, been following threads on this forum for flashing a GSI. Now that you guys can root, you can also make backups of your own stock system image if you can't find one from Firmware Finder. Then you can safely try flashing the GSI.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] AndDiSa:
[MENTION=7050182]MishaalRahman[/MENTION] well it's bit like chicken egg dilemma. As we do not have a stock system image for e.g. SHT-W09 we cannot patch the ramdisk.img and so we cannot get the stock system image ...
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] theboundless:
Thanks Apo11on, great to have root so soon for the M5! Do you know if there's a way to get Xposed working? I tried the Xposed Framework SDK 26 from inside Magisk, but it put me in a boot loop.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] OHP:
Question is, for those of us with the Non Pro version, can this still be done.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] fludox:
[MENTION=2303369]OHP[/MENTION] Yes. The OP did it with the 8.4" version which has no pro option.

I'm looking to buy the Chinese 10" wifi version myself but need Google Play Store + Services on it which I'm guessing the Chinese version doesn't have. Is one of the firmwares at the website you link to a global version of the firmware that will work on this model?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Si73:
Doesn't matter what version you have as long as you have access to your device firmware and the ramdisk.img. You really need to reread the guide.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] OHP:
Problem I have is :

CMR-W09C432B123 (8.0.0.123) from download headlines.

notice the Bold letter.

my Firmware on device:

CMR-W09C432123 (8.0.0.123)

obliviously it could be nothing but I wouldn't want to brick my tablet :fingers-crossed:
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Si73:
I have exactly the same tablet/firmware as you and it was fine. The additional letter also threw me a little. But if you are unsure, download Huawei Firmware Finder from Google play and it will automatically detect your tablets firmware (which you can download if you wish).
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] OHP:
I took the plunge, and I am sucessfully rooted now :silly:
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] m5mediapad:
struggling with this part

2. Transfer this patched ramdisk image to your device

Note for users with version of M5 other than SHT-AL09: Do NOT use the above ramdisk image. Download the full stock rom (update.zip) from the site I linked in the credits. Extract UPDATE.APP file from the zip. Then use HuaweiUpdateExtractor to extract ramdisk.img specific to your device. If you get errors in HuaweiUpdateExtractor - uncheck first 2 checkboxes for checksum verification on Settings tab and try again

I have a CMR-W09 :s i can got the files downloaded and the huwai software not sure how i make a img
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] thref23:
The good news is I followed these instructions yesterday and they worked perfectly (SHT-AL09).

The bad news is, I seem to have lost root overnight.

---------- Post added at 06:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 AM ----------

And I figured out why I lost root; I was playing around with Developer options and switched the default GPU renderer from 'default' to 'Skia.' Apparently, this disables root access until you switch back. I regained root access on a reboot, lost it again after switching back to Skia, and then regained it after switching back to default.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] m5mediapad:
I got the right image file from the site and huwai extract. I have googled how to use this app but what files do I extract as there appears to be. Alot ? I extracted all of them ? I don't have a ramdisk.img

Also thanks for writting this up. Without it I would be lost
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] dkk6:
Thanks for the efforts making this thread. Unfortunately my device is SHT-W09 and I'm still waiting for the right firmware. Is there anything I can help, considering I have the device?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] AndDiSa:
[MENTION=8491361]dkk6[/MENTION] I am in the same boat as you. Unfortunately I installed the update to 8.0.0 123 without having the Firmware Finder installed on the device. Do you have installed already the update to 8.0.0 123?

If not, you could install Firmware Finder and provide us with the ota url ...
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] m5mediapad:
This works perfectly no issues. i had some how maanged to download the wrong rom first. AND thankfully it did not have a ramdisk in. it is important that your firmware matches the firmware present on the site as explained. This was easy guide to follow now to flash it with somthing other then andriod
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] dkk6:
I'm on 8.0.0.101
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] general1977:
Thank you for your answer. I downloaded that firmware from the link in the first post. As the headline on that particular website it says that the firmwares are for the M5 10 pro. So there seems to be a messup on that site. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I will try the Huawei Firmware Finder as you suggested.

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] general1977:
I now downloaded the correct firmwares with the Huawei Firmware Finder. I ordered a Huawei MediaTab M5 10, so I figuered I need the firmware with the code CMR-AL09C00B185. As a second firmware CMR-AL09C432B183 is available. Older firmwares seem not to be available for the code CMR-AL09.

Will the versions 8.0.0.185 or 8.0.0.183 work with this method?

What does the customization code C00 mean? I'm from Germany so I figuered I need C432 (Europe).

Will I loose Widevine L1 when flashing Magisk?

Regards

Achim
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] general1977:
Success! Magisk installed and root available. I didn't dare installing TWRP yet, because I read that some problems exist. More research needed.

However all preparations were wrong. I needed the firmware CMR-WR09C432B168 dated 2018.07.18. Today the Windows version of the Huawei Firmware Finder would not start on my PC. The Android version on the tablet itself worked and told me that neither 183 nor 185 would be approved on my tablet so I used 8.0.0.168 which the tablet wanted to update itself to anyways.

I didn't loose Widevine L1 but I (of course) have the annoying warning screen on bootup of the tablet now because the bootloader is unlocked. Can I get rid of that somehow?

Regards

This is not a paid support site, where you pay a monthly fee to other people to do things for you. Why do you expect "someone" to donate their personal time and do all that work repetitively, of downloading 3.5GB firmware after every Huawei update, extracting it and uploading every ramdisk for you? Have you thought about that "someone" being you, and contributing back to XDA community?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] invictuz:
^

^ +1!

Like Apo11on said: this is a community driven solution to which a very few have contributed a great deal in time, knowledge, testing, posting, etc.
[MENTION=3057254]StephenMSmith[/MENTION]: this would be a perfect opportunity for you to shine by writing up an automation script that pulled each new version and dumped the RAMDisk in a central location that everyone can access...

Everytime someone grabbed the latest version they would see your name and think: "Dam! what a swell guy for contributing his time and ability to this community!"

If I root the MediaPad M5 in this way, do I lose DRM L1? and will I be able to watch Netflix on HD?

thanks in advance.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] StephenMSmith:
Don't get me wrong -- I am truly appreciative of all of the hard work everyone other than me has put into this thread (and others!). I'm admit I'm being super lazy, I haven't even found and downloaded the Huawei updater or update files yet as I try to see if I can truly live w/o rooting. I only root for Adaway and sometimes specific reasons. For my MediaPad M5 specific reason is lack of APTxHD and LDAC bluetooth protocols which are in Android O.

OK, I'll try to make myself useful soon and contribute.

You'll retain L1 with root, so yes to HD on Netflix! Just remember to hide root in Magisk

I successfully rooted my french wifi M5 8.4, without using TWRP.

For people looking for patched_boot.img, it's attached below.

It comes from this firmware : SHT-W09 C432 B168 (8.0.0.168)

Now I'd just like to get rid of the annoying warning message at start up regarding the unlocked bootloader, but I believe it's impossible...

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] StephenMSmith:
Worked perfectly for me too with my CMR-W09. Thanks to OP and everyone else in thread! If your using Magisk, I'd advise to download the APTx-Android O libraries and install. For reasons I don't know, Huawei excluded both APTx-HD and LDAC from M5 despite being core part of Android O.

So now as I understand it, when the next OTA comes out the Hauwei updater will detect modified boot image and download the full multi Gb update rather than just the patch. The update will apply just fine but will obviously replace modified boot image so we're back to simply doing the steps in 1st thread. Right?

Magisk Manager unable to unpack boot image Mediapad M5 8,4

Model SHT-AL09

build 8.0.0.172(C432)

magisk is no more installed and magisk manager is unable to unpack boot image

i suppose it is because of last system update ?

what can i do to keep my apps and regain magisk root ?

Magisk root worked before that system update.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] AndDiSa:
A short recap, as it was already described several times: You need to extract ramdisk.img from the full ota package, install Magisk-Manager on your device, transfer ramdisk.img to the device, open Magisk-Manager, choose patch boot.img but select ramdisk.img, transfer back patched_boot.img to your PC and flash that file as ramdisk.img using fastboot.

My CMR-W09 cannot be detected by dc-unlocker as it is too new (181), did you have no problems?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] StephenMSmith:
I was able to unlock w/DC locker but that was in July or so, about 2 updates ago. For me, DC unlocker couldn't see my tablet until I installed the Huawei utility and it's drivers, ie. that app that pops up when you plug in tablet to computer.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] pmj_pedro:
I had the same problem with dc unlocker ( I am running 161), but was able to solve it by disable the adb on my tablet in the developer options.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] xdathail:
It's off by default on mine (adb in charge only mode), I tried both tho.

The guys at DC-unlocker say it isn't possible 172+, and they have begun giving refunds.

As things stand it is not possible to root this device. I'm kinda stuffed because I can't return it now, and I can't use it either because I can't rebind the modifier keys and I'm not unlearning years of key habbits for a 300 dollar tablet. I think I'll just give it to someone.
