Guys, I desperately need your help. I bought this MiA1 few months ago, I pressed android version in setting but it appears android Nougat logo? I am so confuse right now. Need help to flash this MiA1 to original Android One.

Another info: My MiA1 stucks at Jan 1, 2018 android security patch level.

Baseband version:

Can you post a screenshot of the about phone in settings? And a screenshot of the nougat logo you get?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Riche101UK:
All Mi a1 come with Nougat as stock. I got mine beginning of June. You need to use Mi Flash app to flash stock rom, https://www.getdroidtips.com/xiaomi-mi-a1-stock-firmware/ I found it here. It will format everything and re lock bootloader.

Thousand of thanks sir. Btw,

Sir, i would like to seek help from you regarding my problem on the main thread. About android one oreo but then appear Nougat. What's on your mind right now about this issue? Have you ever encounter this kind of problem before?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Ritik99:
You are still on N but just don't know why its showing 8.0, in setting. Haven't heard anyone else face such issue.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] jack_21:
First reflash the firmware, then see if the Nougat logo has disappeared

Please do a full backup before flashing the firmware (contacts, sms, media files)

I am using the Htc Tytn/Hermes and have active sync installed on my windows xp service pack 2 desktop.

I can download virus updates and play Open Arena online but i cannot access the internet through my browsers(IE and Firefox)?? My windows firewall is turned off and i dont have any other firewall installed. I tried re-installing active sync as well

It was working last week, so im not sure what i have done. The only 2 programs i have installed that i think would affect my access would be hamachi, a vpn client and FoxServ, a local web server with Apache, MySQL and PHP. I have uninstalled hamachi and i still have no change?!?

I tried system restore as well and because its a new pc i dont have any restore points from when it was working to test with:mad:

Basically i can use anything(skype,updating etc) but my browsers which is pretty pointless..anybody have any ideas

PS i also tried switching it from normal to advanced network functionality on my device for usb to pc connection??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] baadier:
i have just downloaded the latest version of active sync to see if that will make a difference, i will only be able to test later though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] baadier:
i have tried the latest version of active sync and still no internet access through the browsers..anybody with ANY ideas?

Try going backwards

You say you havent done much but install a couple of programs?

How about uninstalling these programs and working backwards till you find the source of the problem.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] baadier:
i tried that as well but i eventually got it sorted out,i had avast! installed and something in the program was blocking net eaccess to port 80 which is the http port and not actually blocking the browsers. so i uninstalled it and popped in avg and the problems fixed..finally. its weird cause i never changed any settings in avast to activate it in the first place.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] dekraan:
Hey all,

I love stock android! So when i read about OpenKirin I was excited. Did anyone use this to install LineageOS on our mate9 successful? What are your experiences?

I have another question as well: I changed my model to the MHA-L29, rooted with a custom recovery.

OpenKirin says it needs to have the stock one. Does anyone have a link to the stock MHA-L29 recovery and a guide on how to install it?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
First off, this thread probably belongs in Q/A.

Moving on:

I've run all 3 provided ROMs, Carbon as my daily driver and Lineage and RR for testing various things. They all work pretty well.

For stock recovery & ramdisk, download your current firmware (or if you've run other Treble ROMs as well, the version that corresponds to your current build number in Settings / System / About Phone) using Firmware Finder - you only need the main update.zip for this. You'll also need one of the utilities for extracting them. There's Huawei Update Extractor (I think that's what it's called anyway) for Windows, or https://github.com/marcominetti/split_updata.pl for Linux / Mac. Extract the ramdisk and recovery ramdisk images and there you go.

Installing those is a matter of rebooting into the bootloader and running:

fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk.img

fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img

(The name for recovery_ramdisk.img may vary a bit - the windows app will extract it as RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img.)

From there, just follow their instructions. If you have any problems, hit up the Telegram chat linked off the site, someone will be willing to help.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] dekraan:
[MENTION=5066134]irony_delerium[/MENTION], thank you very much. That sounds like something even I can do without too much problems :)

How do you like it, being on LineageOS?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
Like I said in my original reply, my daily driver is Carbon; the Lineage builds I've only run briefly because NFC wasn't enabled, but the CarbonROM builds there have it. I use Google Pay every day, so it's kind of a requirement for me.

With that said, the only thing that's got issues for me is the camera app, and most of the blame for that is with Huawei. It generally works, but it'll close & restart often when switching modes or trying to start a recording.

I know there are various other minor issues with recording video in all 3, again because Huawei. (They put together bum codecs, and then patched the system side of the EMUI media stack to deal with the bum codecs, instead of fixing the codecs.)

Also worthy of mention (especially because I see people asking about this all the time): there is no VoLTE support. The devs are aware of it. Unless you're on a network that is pure LTE, it's mostly a non-issue. If you are, it's probably a deal breaker.

Getting on from there, they're all clean Android experiences, without the overbearing weight of EMUI. They don't try to pull some of the things EMUI did - the final breaking point for me was when it insisted on terminating apps in the background regardless of how much you might actually be using them. (In my case, AdGuard as a VPN service.)

Some comments before, Huawei Firmware Extractor. Extract system.img from the stock rom you used before flash Lineage.

Flash stock system.img in fastboot.

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] prestonmcafee:
I was on OldDroid's OpenKirin, but today switched to Carbon Beta 2 from https://openkirin.net/download/. This installed without problems and I did a hard reset as part of installation. The earlier version worked very well, except there were a few bugs. I haven't found any bugs in this ROM yet.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] jellmoo:
Random question: Does anyone know if it's safe to go from one build to another directly? I'm trying Lineage but would like to give Resurrection Remix a go. The instructions say that you should be coming from EMUI...

Thanks
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
It's fine to go between them, provided you reload the stock ramdisk (if you installed Magisk) & factory reset before booting into the new ROM.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] mcc2005:
You can switch between the Custom Roms. I always do. Backup your data on the data partition via USB to PC, go to TWRP do a factory reset and then install the new image via fastboot. Reboot and rejoice
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
TWRP only works right on a Huawei device if you're either decrypted or running EMUI. (On a custom ROM, with an encrypted device, TWRP doesn't even start up - it locks up at the splash screen.)

Factory reset using stock recovery. Only using stock recovery. The OpenKirin team will not support any other configuration.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] mcc2005:
yes you are right. but there is still the possibility to do these things with a patched TWRP. I use this for my Mate 9 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h50RJ6LNNSEVW9CS16C0NjeP7ZZNTECE/view?usp=sharing
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
And the reason why I say anything is because the 2 most common problems I see are:

1) "I'm on Jio, where's my VoLTE?"

2) "I used TWRP and (it's not working | I screwed up | it's broken)".

The response to the first is universally, go back to stock.

The second, restore your entire stock firmware and then follow the instructions exactly as they are written.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] prestonmcafee:
With root, you can back up your apps with Titanium. I haven't had good luck with backing up settings with Titanium and after attempting to restore settings, I usually wind up wasting an hour or two and then factory-resetting and just reinstalling the apps. Now I don't even bother backing up settings, but just back up my apps. Even then two or three seem to be botched but uninstalling/reinstalling those will fix that problem. (It isn't always the same ones, either; not sure what causes this). This approach avoids the pain of configuring apps, e.g. travel app usernames and passwords, as well as preserving messages and the like. The biggest nuisance for me is that I carry around 40 unread Amazon books, which have to be sent to the phone (and I'm not so good at remembering which ones I've already read out of the more than 500 in my account), and I carry a bunch of google offline maps, which have to be manually recreated. Lastpass helps with login information too.

In my most recent (Carbon B2) install, I didn't bother with the backup but installed everything fresh and I had a fully functioning phone with 99% of the configuration I like within 2 hours, since I'd been pretty careful to put all the passwords and so on for my roughly 80 apps into a secured text file, as well as backing up my Nova launcher settings.

How can I install this carbon rom I try allready but twrp ask me on what partition I want to install the .img file and It shows bunch of it

I'm running twrp latest by pretoriano

Thank you very much guys
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
Restore your stock ramdisk and recovery partitions. (I'd actually start with a full restore to stock firmware first: get your vendor patches in order. 8.0.0.369 is available for most phones on c567, 370 might be available.)

Factory reset using stock recovery. Flash with fastboot. Magisk for root & SafetyNet.

do you know where can i download the stock ramdisk and recovery partition for mate 9 i was running 8.0.0.369 sorry i put 360

Now i'm using android 7.0. based rom aur 2.3, if i want to install that stock android rom, do i have to flash android 8 based twrp?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] try1231:
Hi! I'm ready to flash Carbon ROM on my MHA-L29 tonight. But I need to double confirm one thing:

If I decided to switch back to EMUI 8, i just need to: fastboot flash system [system.img from update.app], is that all?

Thanks in advance!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
So long as you don't change anything else (like going in as root and mounting /vendor rw, for example), that and ramdisk.img, if you use Magisk.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] try1231:
[/COLOR]

So if I've decided to flash TWRP for Magisk and Xposed, I will need to fastboot flash:

1) ramdisk.img

2) recovery_ramdisk.img

3) system.img

Correct?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
Generally recommended to not use TWRP - it's decryption function only works under stock. Otherwise, yes.

With that said: TWRP and Xposed aren't supported with the OpenKirin ROMs at all. TWRP for at least the reason I mentioned above, and it also does a factory reset wrong on Huawei devices - it's why so many people end up with seemingly broken fingerprint readers, for example, and if used for a wipe anyway, requires a full reload.

Xposed, well, that one messes with the inner workings of the runtime. Don't think I need to say more there.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] try1231:
Ok noted. Can I flash magisk modules and xposed modules using fastboot? Or the stock recovery?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
Magisk can be flashed via fastboot. Also the way I'd recommend doing it for now anyway, as I've seen lots of corrupt kernel images because Magisk flashes the wrong partition with at least Magisk Manager 5.8.0 and Magisk 16.6.

Once you install Carbon, boot into it, push your ramdisk.img over, and use Magisk Manager to install Magisk into the ramdisk image. Pull it back & install via fastboot.

From there, if you want Xposed, systemless Xposed is available through Magisk as well.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] try1231:
Ok. I'll stay off from TWRP for now. The step that flash ramdisk.img after Carbon ROM booted, which ramdisk.img are you talking about?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
Stock ramdisk image from update.app.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] try1231:
I've flashed Carbon ROM successfully, but when I installed Magisk Manager it shows Magisk v16 was already installed. I did factory reset and format data before flashing. Will it cause any issue? Magisk modules & Xposed modules works fine though :laugh:
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
Then it looks like magisk is working fine. Probably wouldn't hurt to reinstall it anyway - don't use direct install, there is (or at least recently was) a bug that caused it to flash kernel instead of ramdisk.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Zreux:
Install your rom stock with hwota8 like an update
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Caguayote:
The problem was that twrp does not boot up it stays stuck at lockscreen I was using twrp by pretoriano

It cost me like 60 dollars to get it back to life using funkyhuawei unlimited credits for a mont

Then I use hwota8 to update to 3.69 I think then I install twrp and restore my backup that I have saved

Thanks for all the help and time that you guys take to try to help others
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] enricojacko:
Hi. Sorry but I didn't understand how to do these steps: in which way I can do that? Thanks.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
Enable Developer Options.

Turn on ADB debugging.

Connect to your computer.

Run:

adb push <path-to-ramdisk.img> /sdcard

Open Magisk Manager on your phone. (Install it first, obviously, if you haven't.)

Select "Install".

When it asks the method: "Patch boot image"

Select the file in the file picker. (You might have to go to "Show internal storage" in the file picker to find it.)

Let Magisk do it's thing.

Go back to your computer.

Run:

adb pull /sdcard/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img

fastboot reboot

Trying out OpenKirin Carbon Beta 4.

I’ve never had any issues with the stock Huawei ROM so the AOSP ROM doesn’t solve any issues for me.

I keep seeing complaints about EMUI settings and frankly I think they are better than the stock AOSP, but again how often do you go into settings anyway.

There are some things I definitely don’t like about this ROM.

1.	Notifications are grayish on white. Can fix, sort of with Substratum, but Substratum has always had issues.

2.	Quick tiles are grayish on white. Can fix, sort of with Substratum, but Substratum has always had issues.

3.	The Navigation bar buttons cannot be rearranged, don’t have an option to interactively hide the Nav Bar, and there aren’t any alternative button icons. Stock EMUI is really nice, can do all of these things.

Other than those issues there isn’t anything bad or great about the ROM, maybe a few less bloatware apps to remove or disable.

Really happy with battery life.

Worth a try.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Okiera29:
I put Carbon on mine just a couple days ago and I like it so far. I used MyBackup to restore all my messages, contacts and apps. It took me about an hour to get everything back to normal after the install. I like the 'lightness' of carbon. I guess I had a bunch of bloatware and didn't realize it. So far everything is good. MyBackup even restored the stock Huawei camera apk!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
Just a note: the stock camera APK is included in the OpenKirin ROMs already.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Okiera29:
Yup, but now I have two!! :laugh: I used MyBackup to freeze one. Still can't get my SD card recognized properly though...
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
Drop into the OpenKirin telegram group and pick up the latest build of CarbonROM there. Some fixes for SD card handling got added to it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] TheDude1998:
Open Kirin has been a treat for me, way more stable than any of the treble rooms I've tried, there's a build of omirom I've been running that's amazing. I'm torn between serenity and hyperplus for my kernel though, which do others prefer?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Okiera29:
I haven't tried either kernel yet with a custom rom. I did run serenity with the stock EMUI and noticed a difference in battery life. I have never tried hyperplus. Updated to CarbonV4 yesterday and everything is running great. I had some issues with Magisk... and yes, I did flash the original ramdisk file before rebooting after installing V4. Could not get Magisk to install without a boot loop till I unchecked preserve force encryption and then it would boot right. Rom is very quick and snappy!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] vijer:
Over the years I have tried different kernels on different devices and have never seen any difference between kernels. I recently tried HyperPlus on the stock EMUI and didn't notice any difference. With the Carbon ROM I'm getting about two days of battery life and about 10 hours of screen on time. So I would really question what benefit you think you will get from a different kernel.

Just my 3 cents.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] :
Guys, can anyone help me about this rom?

Now i'm using RomAur android 7.0 based. I want to try this pure stock android. Please send me some screenshots, reviews, videos or comments about open kirin.

Is battery good?

Phone is faster than emui?

Any broken thing?

How is camera quality?

I need some information. Thanks.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
I regularly get 10h SOT running both CarbonROM and OmniROM. (Disclaimer: OpenKirin OmniROM is my build.)

Faster than EMUI? Meh, seems faster to me, but that's just as much because it doesn't carry the weight of EMUI around. (Also just as much that I run add-ons to remove zram-based swap.)

Broken things: the camera. There is a ported EMUI camera app, which works for pictures aside from portrait mode, for the most part; video works as well. The app frequently glitches out when switching modes, but it does come back. (Most of this is because of the way Huawei implemented it, it's something I'm currently digging into.)

The quality of the photos taken looks to my untrained eye to be about the same as hwcam on EMUI, same goes for videos. ("Works for me", basically. I didn't use the camera too much then, I don't use it a lot now, so *shrug*)

I flashed TWRP on OpenKirin CarbonV4 and then flashed the port of the P20 camera to my mate 9.

[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] TheCzarOfAll:
For the built-in Screen Recorder, is there any config I can edit in order to extend the max length to more than 5 minutes? I have explored other options and it seems that the only app that works on Oreo to any degree is RecMe, but I have constant issues with crashing using it. If I could extend the built-in app's max length, it would work perfectly for my needs in terms of internal audio and my goals.

[HTC U11+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] IronSheik:
Since this is the International model, you are getting the standard international icons:

3G data icon for 3G/HSPA+

4G data icon for both 4G & LTE data connectivity

but you may prefer to have the true LTE indicator shown which is standard on US specific devices

To enable the LTE data icon instead of the generic 4G one on the status bar, edit the default.xml file located in:

/system/customize/ACC

change the following line from true to false

so it should be:

<item type="boolean" name="show_4g_for_lte">false</item>

reboot to see fix
