[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] lilck:
Hello guys,

my goal is to successfully unlock the bootloader with the safest possible method. I`m not completely inexperienced with unlocking, rooting etc, but every phone is different, and to avoid some mistakes, i want to get shure, if its possible with my procedure that i think could work.

Actual Phone status:

Build number: ALP-L29 8.0.0.141(c636patch01) - I think this is xloader 01 / Security Patch is 1. August 2018

Bootloader : locked

FRP : locked

SIM/Net :unlocked

I tried HCU Client 1.0.0.0290, phone gets recognized, but bootloader can`t be read, i get:

Read bootloader code fail!

Not supported/unknown chipset!

I think it`s cause of to high build number, and security patch.

So now, my main idea is to downgrade with dload method.

I downloaded these Service Firmware from androidhost.ru:

ALP-L29 8.0.0.135(C185) Firmware Android 8.0.0 EMUI 8.0.0 05014TBQ androidhost.ru / Not shure what xloader in it, but should be 01. Maybe someone knows

C636 i couldn`t find.

My 1st question: Can I flash this firmware, without bricking my phone?

If no, what possibilities I have else?

My 2nd : Has the Simcard be installed for unlocking?

I appreciate all your help, greets from germany
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
141 is xloader 02 if I remember correctly. Firmware finder is down so can't check. And as such you won't be able to downgrade to a build where dc works.

Flashing C185 on C636 is not recommended. It could work but you would have to use DC unlocker temp unlock after to flash C185 oeminfo, then flash dload again. I have not tried this.

But still, if B141 is xloader 02 it will not work anyway.

Wait for FF to come back online to check what xloader ALP-L29C432B142 is
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] brGabriel:
So, I successfully unlocked the bootloader, then followed the instructions to install TWRP (which worked initially because I was able to access TWRP immediately after flashing). But how to I access it again once I'm back in the OS? When I click reboot to recovery it always reverts back to the stock recovery. I'm still on the stock OS, but I just assumed once TWRP was installed I could boot into it from there. What am I missing?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] brGabriel:
Solved the problem by getting Magisk installed and using Flashify app to flash the downloaded TWRP img.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] DoR3M3:
[MENTION=4545994]brGabriel[/MENTION] just use the fastboot commands as mentioned by manojpawarsj12;

Don't mess around with Flashify, it's dated and a good way to brick your phone... :(

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DKXC:
So the new Fire HD 8 came out and I bought it yesterday, came today. Interestingly it runs now Android 7 (FireOS 6) which is cool. Would be nice to see root or something for this some day but maybe they patched the rest of the stuff from what I saw on the Fire 7, 5th gen. (ADB commands to disable or uninstall stuff). Didn't try it out yet.

Well, performance is okay, but the RAM is for some reason about 60 to 70% full all the time.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] snoozer854:
Been thinking about buying one like yours, but was wondering if the directions to install Google Play Store still works.

Did you install it?

I imagine all the ram being used like that is the Amazon stuff that is pre-installed.

Thanks
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] tylerhole:
I'm curious about the Google play store install method too.

And it has to be all the Amazon stuff using up all the ram, I agree. That's usually the culprit when ya got a fresh install of stock firmware on there.

I have the new Fire HD 8 since thursday and could easily install the playstore following this method.

I would have liked to change the default launcher to Apex launcher, but LauncherHijack unfortunately does not seem to work on the 8th gen (yet)...

I've been messing around with adb on the device, but I can't find a way to uninstall any of the Amazon apps or content. Sometimes with

Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]

. Even when it shows SUCCESS, the app is reinstalled in seconds, it's not actually successful. That's as much as I've found as of yet.

I can also confirm that just installing the 4 Google APKs gets the Play Store working, no issues there.

And I can confirm that Launcher Hijack v3 does not work.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] LPParis:
Hello,

Right, I did not mention it, but I also have tried LauncherHijack V2.1 seeing that V3 crashed, but it did not work for me unfortunately, neither with Apex, nor with Evie...

I choose the launcher in LauncherHijack V2.1, click on ok (set your launcher to Evie), I reboot and nothing has changed. :(

Which launcher did you manage to subtitute to the default one, please ? Did you use LauncherHijack V2.1 or another version ?

Any thoughts?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Llamos:
Amazon doesn't play nicely with the whole "Accounts" part of Android. It spams your Accounts registry with a bunch of duplicate and dummy accounts to get all of its stuff working. Unfortunately that breaks some Google things, like Contacts. I've also had some issues with Inbox (but it's not a popular one unfortunately). The Amazon Contacts app has support for Google contacts, and you can then make it your default contacts provider without syncing to Amazon. That was the only way I could get it working at least.

Mine completely turned itself off for some reason. Maybe a bug in the system? Or something that causes auto turning-off. I wanted to charge it today and I was wondering why the screen didn't turn on.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DKXC:
But Smart Suspend is only for WiFi?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Is Amazon's power saver in general. I have always deactivated it. Just saying it sounds like a power saving feature. If that's the case smart suspend would be the first place to look.

It says it only turns off WiFi and Bluetooth if unused. Nothing more. I don't think that was it that turned my tablet completely off in the night.

I am researching tablets... My main use for it will be in my vehicle to run Google Maps and to stream music via BT. Does the Fire HD 8 come with Google Maps? (Not a big deal, since I can sideload GApps...) But would Google Maps turn by turn nav work with no WiFi if I have downloaded the map for offline use? I can always use my personal phone as a WiFi hotspot when Nav is needed, but if I can get this working without the need for WiFi, that would be sweet. The price point of this tablet and size are exactly what I'm looking for - if it will meet my needs. (Basically want to use it as Android Auto since I'll never seen an update on my uConnect to support it.)

BTW, I am in Canada - will I have to deal with these ads that people keep talking about? I'm not overly concerned about it - just curious.

I just got my Fire Tablet 8 HD. It cost $50, plus I bought a 64GB microSD for $11. I installed the files listed above and got the play store working right away.

I tried the adb commands to get rid of the ads, and it seemed to work, but overnight it reverted back to the ads. They aren't very intrusive, so I don't really care. On the other hand, I would probably try to get rid of them if I could. Actually, it would be nice if I could root it and install another ROM. At $50, I'm very comfortable with playing around with it.

I mostly use it for reading RSS feeds (feedme app), and reading Reddit (sync app).

Here is the first nice thing of it, all the needed Test Points grouped in a very convenient and accessible place :cool:

Fire HD 8 (8th Gen) a first look of the internals: Test Points​

The Test Points are placed on the opposite side of the µSD Card, very near to it. No need to take the PCB apart. Soldering still necessary, no root yet.

Though to get to the TX and RX Test Points it is necessary to completely take the PCB apart since they are on the back (the hidden part of the PCB).

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] lickwid:
It works. Make sure you either have your MicroSD formatted to external storage, or else just remove the MicroSD card completely. You can always switch to internal storage after you get the Play Store up and running. Try that and it should work.

The more important issue is how laggy this tablet is. We need to figure out how to disable all the bloat software taking up so much RAM.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] ruderthanyou:
I know no questions in General, but hasn't anyone figured out why there aren't any notifications from apps from the play store, like ring.com and hangouts. Issue seems to be related to just the HD 8 2018 version. Email apps that pull data seem to work fine, but not things that push notifications down to the device. I'm not the only one experiencing the ring.com issue; its posted on other message board. Also heard reports that facebook messenger from the play store also doesn't do notifications.

I replied to a post on Help & Troubleshooting about a week ago about the issue, but no responses to date.

Has anyone else confirmed the issue here on XDA?
