[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] nicky-xda:
Huawei has apparently closed the the possibility to unlock the bootloader for the future.

Does this mean, there is no other way to unlock the bootloader with their devices and instal custom ROMs?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] halfcoast:
You can still get unlock codes. I have got mine for Mate 10 just today in the event I decide I want to unlock after 22nd July.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] nicky-xda:
Thanks for this hint, halfcoast!

But i - and a lot other users - do not have a huawei phone yet and only think about buying one in the future depending on if it's unlockable or not. ;)

Does the "huawei service" stop on the 22nd July and no unlock codes and no other unlock method, no customROMs for the mate 10 and their other phones afterwards?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Tugboat87:
My understanding is that after the 22nd, they won't be providing any codes to unlock anymore.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Klanac89:
U can't unlock bootloader after 22.07.2018 = the death for custom roms

I will sell my Mate 10 Pro and never buy again a Huawei device. So easy...
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambada24:
I was given a Tab 4 which shows this message when I switch it on: "Enter your PIN or password to use the encrypted device memory"

Tried factory data reset but still asks for password / pin.

Anything I can do to unlock it?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keikari:
Things you can do

1. If device has TWRP custom recovery you can format data partition(it's different than factory reset)

2. If device doesn't have TWRP, you can install it and then do thing 1

3. You can download official firmware for your device(it might be a bit difficult to find, but not too difficult) and use program called Odin to install it. Google for guides about that if needed.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambada24:
Thanks for your reply....some other questions...

1. How can I tell if the device has TWRP installed?

2. Which is easier to find and install, TWRP or official firmware?

3. What would I need to do after installing official firmware?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keikari:
1. Power off the device. Then hold middle button + vol up + power. If it says TWRP it has TWRP. If you bought device as new and you haven't installed TWRP yourself it will have stock recovery.

2. TWRP is easier, but they are pretty much same. You'll probably need to use Odin to install TWRP anyway and TWRP is easier to find and much smaller to download.

3. Nothing, it should boot normally.

[Android Head-Units] Leafhood:
Hi all,

I have this head unit in my car (2gb version)

(can't link because of 1st post, but AliExpress item 32868132999, just put it in search)

and I got links to 2 firmwares that fit it.

mediafire dot com /file/ud14b8lvxz4i684/Quad_Core8.0_PX5.zip/file

mediafire dot com /file/5wkv6rfu26352d7/8.0PX5.rar

1 . First of all - are there custom roms for this? Maybe those firmwares could tell what model I'm working with? I've tried to look around the forums but I can't get a read what model this is.

Baseband version says SF3GR_M-26.3_cpeg_rk-r2p_bc2-20160629_111639

and MCU version says 2018-06-02 12:21:04 FAD_(R76)__90_D1_V1.0_CAN(All) _AMP

2. I've looked at the files in the firmware packages, but I'm afraid to touch those without knowing if it's ok.

And how can I repack Allapp.pkg if I change something inside of it? In Windows 10.

I'd like to have root and disable the "feature" that maxes the system volume every second, I'd like to have my volume by speed back but now it's impossible.

I hope someone could help me to get started, getting really dizzy reading through dozens of threads here!

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] looxonline:
Based on your specs it looks like a SoFIA model made by FYT. It's important to understand the different tiers of terminology around here. Took me a while and I'm still learning. There are manufacturers (FYT, MTC, QD, etc...) and resellers (Joying, Witson, etc...). Then there are chipsets (Rockchip, Allwinner, SoFIA). Some manufacturers use various different chipsets in their head units. FYT may use some SoFIA and some Rockchip. Some resellers will also sell various different models that come with similar specs but different chipsets. Finally there is the MCU. This is probably the most manufacturer specific part of the whole HU. It handles all of the stuff that Android can't. FYT probably has the best implementation because it is able to hand off more stuff to Android than the others and that means that we are less dependent of a manufacturer specific part. Normally you can tell who manufactures a unit based on the formatting of the MCU string. Your formatting suggests it is an FYT unit. Gtxaspec has a custom ROM out for SoFIA FYT units. Look through the threads posted by him and you'll find it. My best advice to you is to read, read, read and read some more. You will struggle to find one cohesive walkthrough on these forums but if you put all of the pieces together then you will most likely be able to learn a lot.

P.S. If you feel that this helped at all a thanks would be appreciated.
[Android Head-Units] Leafhood:
Thank you for the response. I +1 thanked you.

Do you mean the "GTX joying ROM V9a3 for FYT/SYU based Intel SoFIA Head Units!"

or "gtx ROM for "FYT" [JOYING] PX5 Head Units!"? As those firmwares I got have PX5 in their file name, I'd guess the PX5 one. But then when I look inside the firmware packages mcu-folder, there's a text file full of MCU versions that include "FAD_MCU_6021_6022_7786_20180602", and those 6021 and 6022 are mentioned in the non-PX5 rom: "For FYT SoM (5009/6011/6021/6022/6023) based JOYING / Intel SoFIA units ONLY!"

Still confused, haha! Another +1 thanks to a helpful reply :)
[Android Head-Units] looxonline:
You android build gives away that your unit is a SoFIA. If it starts with SF3GR then it's based on the intel SoFIA chipset. Also, if you look at the specs for the Ali Listing that you mentioned then you will see that it is also listed as a SoFIA unit. The MCU tells you that it is most likely manufactured by FYT. The fact that you see the same in the txt file listing the MCUs supported by the build on your unit confirms that it is manufactured by FYT. As per the Ali listing it is sold by funrover.

You should therefore use the SoFIA FYT ROM by gtxaspec. I've not tried it myself but as far as I understand he does not flash the MCU when you install the ROM so all of the original functionality should remain and you get the benefits of his ROM which are listed in that thread. You will need to root your unit first but that method is well established and discussed for the SoFIA units.

Make sure the phone plugged into a proper charger (not a computer) to charge for maybe an hour, before trying to restore with Mi Flash, press all three buttons power + vol+ + vol- while connecting to the computer for Mi Flash... the rest is the standard Mi Flash.

Are you on Windows XP?

make sure your modem driver installed correctly and the property of Dialer was right (user, etc)

Check your XP service.

Right click My Computer --> Manage.

Take a look 'service' under 'service and application'

Find 'Remote Access Auto Connection Manager' and 'Remote Access Connection Manager'. Start both of those service, change their property to Automatic if necessary so they'll loaded on windows start up.

Does it fix your problem?

Hi all. I've successfully rooted my Fire 10 (2017) using retyre's excellent offline rooting guide. I never (and still have not) connected to wifi and sideloaded 5.6.2.0 from what was previously at 5.5.0.0

After root, I've installed Google Play Store with xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77125897&postcount=80

Installed Xposed Framework Installer APK, but have yet to install the actual Xposed SDK because that requires an internet connection to retrieve the SDK. And I haven't downloaded a root file explorer yet, either.

Anyways, I've read and read before doing all these things, but there's one more thing to figure out before I finally connect to wifi.

What's the correct way to prevent Amazon from pushing a ROM OTA? I've seen 2 different implementations posted around the forums.

THIS:

OR

THIS:

bibikalka follows this up by saying this

-Someone help explain why one is better than the other?

-Will setting up a firewall prevent Amazon's apps as well as system firmware from being updated?

-Is the firewall implementation equally as effective as changing the DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk to DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk_?

-Is changing the build number in /system/build.prop to 987654321 all we actually need to do to protect us from firmware updates?

I did my best to compile all my relevant questions in one lengthy post hoping that it will help someone else in the same position as I am somewhere down the line. :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Cheesethief:
This method worked for me after rooting using the offline root guide. When I go into System Updates and click check, it just says "Check for updates failed." It does require root, so make sure to use the "su" command before the others or it will give you an error. I am on 5.6.0.1 by the way.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] bibikalka:
The methods can be ranked in terms of update prevention:

1) DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk_ blocks anything an everything, forever and ever

2) build.prop version blocks FireOS ROM updates (no threat to root), but does not block individual Amazon apk updates for various packages, so something like Amazon store may still update

3) firewall method is intermittent, and often people complain that it would still update even with the firewall blocking - this one is absolutely not recommended
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Hylex:
I will do the build.prop edit then. Thank you!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] TechNash:
I said Firewall because he didn't have root. A non-root firewall works, but isn't the most reliable.

Since you have root, go ahead and delete those two apps altogether. Use something like Titanium Backup, and then uninstall the OTA Apps. Make a backup in case you ever want automatic updates again.
