[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] -Alf-:
You should be able to use DCUnlocker (hcu-client) on Oreo, but you may need to downgrade first (my guess is to a firmware version before July 2018). Downgrading can be done with the dload method. But, this process may BRICK your phone , it seems it's impossible to downgrade build number to .376 and earlier, due to a GTU Turbo technology, which came with .379 (google patch 10.2018).

Also you can't downgrade to Nougat AFAIK.

I recommend looking for information in the Huawei P10 section, read carefully here

https://xdaforums.com/p10/help/downgrade-to-nougat-pie-t4002259?nocache=1

On Oreo you can try unlock bootloader using "potatoNV" method , can be found in P10 section. It is a test point method - so back cover needs to be removed .

Or, you can get BL unlock code without problems using paid service

I have unlocked the bootloader and I want to go back to android PIE, can I do it with the dload method?
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] -Alf-:
Yes, you can. Dload method will lock the BL again. (As long as you kept a copy of your unlock code then you can unlock your bootloader again. Each bootloader code is permanent, it wont expire.).
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] uvzen:
Thanks, I have the bootloader code so i will unlock again.

Hi,

I have a Huawei P10 Plus which is stacked on VKY-L29 8.0.0.361 C185. I want to downgrade it to stock rom as VKY-L29C185B170. I got service firmware of it. As you know dload file comes ready with it. I don't have bootloader code but I can get it. And also I only use stock version of software, I don't install twrp, supersu or other extreme things.

Do you think that also will work on it? If you say yes, I'll give a try for.
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] -Alf-:
Yes, it will work. Keep in mind, that dload method will erase all your data!
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] livevalue:
Now I'm backing up. Within a couple of minutes I'll give a try.
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] livevalue:
Unfortunately sofware install failed for P10 Plus model. I'm lucky I got a backup file :)

Thanks anyway.
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] -Alf-:
It should work for all Hua/Ho models, IMO you are doing something wrong
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] livevalue:
When software update comes %10 installation fails. I even wiped wholde data and cache manually.

I tried software update with code entry and also power+volume up button. It's not a big deal.. Nothing wrong, it just didn't work on P 10 Plus model with Service Full Repair Vicky-L29 C185B170 Firmware.
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] -Alf-:
- damaged SD card

- the downloaded firmware is broken

- when the update process starts, you must disconnect the phone from the PC

- incorrect contents of the dload folder

Have you downloaded this ROM ?
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] livevalue:
Brand new Sandisk and I already tested, downloaded with no issues. It already contains a guide for I attached. As I said before it's not a big deal. Maybe because of android version.
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Toranks:
This method works for me once, but no more. Anybody know why it may be? Now every time EMUI recovery shows an error and offers a reboot. I've bootloader unlocked. May I need to lock bootloader before try this?
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] -Alf-:
Try what?
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Toranks:
This dload install method
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] -Alf-:
- First of all make sure to have the stock recovery flash.

- Download correct Service ROM (for C432 region)

- keep in mind that this process will erase all your data (inc. root) and lock the bootloader again .
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Toranks:
All 3 ok, but keeps "update error" when EMUI recovery try to update... I don't know why this works for me the first time, but never more, including the same ROM of the first time
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] -Alf-:
I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you want at all...

I'm trying to install an OTA ROM with dload method, but doesn't work except the first time
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] -Alf-:
With dload method you can install Service ROM only (since android 7). What is your current build number?

If you want install OTA, try HiSuite, or eRecovery & WiFi.
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Toranks:
What is a Service ROM? I'm using Full OTA finded on androidhost.ru
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] -Alf-:
all firmware on this website is Service ROM , fullOTA can be download from Firmware Finder only. Okay, it doesn't matter now, IMO you are doing something wrong

your bootloader cannot be unlocked after correct installation of the service ROM.
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Toranks:
Yes, but I don't know what am i doing wrong xD

Where is the service ROMs on this website?

Hmmm... but I unlock bootloader after the first dload installation yesterday...
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] -Alf-:
Hmmm, and today you will lock it again ? :)

I give up... Good luck!

P.S.: read carefully bro...
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Toranks:
Sorry, I better explain what I do briefly and in steps, because I am not very good at English, causing misunderstandings.

- Start with: Asian Huawei P20 Lite (ANE-LX2 hw spcseas) with original firmware (8.0.0).

- With DC-Unlocker via pay 4+2 credits, I unlock bootloader code and change region from spcseas to eu

- Rooted via fastboot pach ramdisk patched_ramdisk.img (a patched ramdisk valid for firmware 8)

- Install an european oficial firmware finded on androidhost.ru via dload (WORKS!: Huawei P20 Lite ANE-LX1 ANE-L01 hw eu HLRCF Anne-L01 9.1.0.132(C432E5R1P7T8) Firmware 9.0.0 r3 EMUI9.1.0 05014YWP [androidhost.ru])

- Unlock bootloader again

- g-sensors doesn't work on an 9.1 european firmware, so I need to back to an 8 firmware.

- Dload method doesn't work whith this file: "Huawei P20 Lite ANE-LX1 ANE-L21 hw eu HLRCF Anne-L21 8.0.0.180(C432) Firmware 8.0.0 r1 EMUI8.0 05014YXX [androidhost.ru]".

- I try to reinstall same firmware before (european 9.1) via same dload method only for testing purposing. Doesn't work. I Try to test some others firmwares but none works.

- Install twrp via fastboot, and an asian 8.0 firmware via twrp "Huawei P20 Lite ANE-LX1 ANE-L21 hw eu HLRCF Anne-L21 8.0.0.180(C432) Firmware 8.0.0 r1 EMUI8.0 05014YXX [androidhost.ru]" but g-sensors doesn't works neither

- Install twrp again and install: "Huawei P20 Lite ANE-LX2 8.0.0.140(C636) Full Stock Asia Pacific ministryofsolutions.com". Works and g-sensors back. Bootloader keeps unlocked

- Rooted

Now I am on this situation. I can't use dload method anymore, only twrp method and I don't know why.
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] -Alf-:
you are lucky that your phone is still alive...

Have you changed oeminfo to European?

it is impossible to successfully install Service ROM from TWRP, via dload method only!

It is impossible downgrade to the lower EMUI version using dload method & service ROM, it may brick your phone. You can downgrade to EMUI 8 only via HiSuite or using TWRP & HuRupdater tool (with fullOTA-MF firmware).

And keep in mind :

"

- First of all make sure to have the stock recovery flash. "

Change region - C/ variant
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Toranks:
You are right! xDDD

Yes, Cloud shows me a messange saying "this service isn't available from this country". Although I selected Spain for region and I am on Spain, not on Asia. Using "transform region" of DC-Unlocker (costing 2 credits), Cloud allowed me access from Spain.

Hmm but I could xD Simply doing a wipe to all partitions, and installing zip files from the dload folder. Works perfect to me...

Oops thanks!

This guide needs firmware finder. This is the first I try, but Huawei servers are offline :(

Thanks for all!
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] -Alf-:
As I said before, READ CAREFULLY !

"C/ variant"

it is useless and dangerous, but it's your choice.

Sorry to sound rude here, but something to recommend to you is completely useless...

did you follow the instructions? Can be found in ReleasedDoc folder in service ROM package
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Toranks:
Oops, thanks, I did not understand the phrase well

Don't worry, this is my first time doing this. I knew I was doing some things wrong :)
[Huawei P20 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] livevalue:
I only didn't try to use this method via using phones internal storage. How did i get through this? :)

[Xiaomi Mi 4i] TunerSG:
my mi4i has been serving me for the last coming to 4th years, I do get once a blue moon auto restart or hang issues but all goes well after the reboot. Using Accubattery to monitor batt stats and it states health at 88%. Was using the camera to take some shorts when phone went into bootloop. Fastboot was ok so tried flashing stock rom, again goes into bootloop and duration of Mi logo appearing n disappearing narrow down to seconds. Read on forum some guys have success after changing the battery, how can it be?!? luckily for me have already bought a spare batt months back from china online stores. last try then to verify this “myth” to me. and indeed, once the new batt sits in, Mi logo disappears n android loads new rom! So end of story, if your beloved mi4i has reached its critical batt years n it decides to show you its logo over n over again, it’s likely A BATTERY FAILURE.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] sevensaints:
i am still looking for answer but not the batter.y.

[Xiaomi Mi 4i] Ak567:
Yeah, recently I had a similar issue, phone was rebooting randomly and than on the next day, even android was not loading and phone just rebooted although when connected to charger phone was booting successfully, problem was solved by replacing the battery(of an older mi4i)..one thing to complain is that Xiaomi stopped providing spare parts for Mi4i(even battery) so one has to replace it with local one which don't last forore than 8-10 months...Xiaomi wants it's user to change their phone every two years by not providing them with essential spare parts of old models .

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] chrisliphart:
I've scoured the web all morning, and I can't figure this one out. I know that with the default Samsung Messages app, notifications come in with little single line bubbles, instead of standard heads-up notification banners. Switching to the Android Messages app fixed that for me, but WhatsApp is doing it to. Is there a way to make WhatsApp use normal banners? I assume this a Samsung thing (my Essential Phone, Pixel 2 XL, and LG G7 didn't do this), and if so, where do I go to turn it off? WhatsApp was installed from the Play Store, so I wouldn't think it'd have any fancy Samsung modifications to it, but I can't find a setting in there for normal banners either. Neither Skype nor FB Messenger (with chat heads turned off; I hate them) exhibit this behavior, and show normal banners. What am I missing?

EDIT:

I figured it out. I had forgotten from forever ago that Edge Lighting changes the notification style. Turned that off, and now banners are working properly.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lewisly:
I suspect i have foolishly tried to root my Alcatel A2 xl, as I''ve never done it before and it looks unconventional, and it's now stuck in boot loop. I can hold volume up and power and get to select boot mode, but recovery freezes the screen and selecting normal triggers the boot loop. Fastboot works still.

It was all working fine, I'd set up adb and a couple drivers, then followed some guide here to install Clockwork Recovery by flashing it via adb. I did that, and can't do anything sense - i read somewhere else i should have wiped data first, could this have been it?

Any help on how to recover enormously appreciated. At this point i've tried the official Alcatel tool to reset a stock rom and it can't detect the phone correctly, and that's it. I dont want to go trying to flash another recovery or custom ROM on yet as im uncertain what went wrong.

Also just want to say thanks in advance, and thanks for the whole site, it's the only reliable looking place i could find for android advice :D, i mean im sure you know that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KIBS2173:
Try this

Hi there,

I am not sure if this will work or not as ALCATEL is famous for making cheap smartphones however the number of ROMS out there are slim, I was wondering do you have the stock rom with you and are you able to connect your phone to your computer and can ADB detect it.

If your still able to boot into recovery you can uninstall root by wiping its memory completely.

And if your phone is able to get recognised by ADB I suggest you to reinstall the whole ROM

I have found a website which might help you to get the ROM

https://www.needrom.com/category/alcatel/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lewisly:
Hey thanks thanks. I can't boot into recovery frustratingly, but it can be recognised by adb.

I dont have a stock rom though so thanks for website - can you point me to the right ROM? There doesn't seem to be anything specific to the A2 XL model, but it has a MT8321 processor so does that mean any ROM for that would work? NEEDROM /tablet_captiva_pad_10_3g_plus_mt8321/

or the A2 XL also seems to have exactly the same processor as the Pixi 4, and both come with the 8050D tag-on which i have no idea what means. So would that be a better shout? NEEDROM /rom-stock-pixi-4-7-alcatel-9003a-telcel/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KIBS2173:
Hi there,

However you can download SP-FLASH TOOL and look up the another alcatel phone matching the same description
