I'm currently running ALP-L29 9.0.0.109(C185E2R1P8log) and i'm trying to install ALP-L29 9.0.0.159(C185E2R1P12) though system upgrade option, but when i'm trying to upgrade it shows system update error message and the upgrade does not executes.

Do i need to roll back to 8.0 version first? This beta that i have now installed will detect someday the new version and upgrade automatically ? the device is already unlocked.

Please advice.

Dear

How did you manage to install android pie on your mate 10? I am still at 8.0.0.140 and no any update since 2months.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] themathers:
I'm not sure which method he used to update his phone, but you can use eRecovery method of FunkyHuawei if your phone is not unlocked with bootloader. I used it to update to 9.0.0.108 (mine is C636), going to update to 9.0.0.159 tonighf. Check the attached image, it shows the available Pie firmwares as mentioned.

Dear I have tried to update with dload but its giving error after first reatart the device. And i think my phone is locked with bootlader(not sure). Mine is c185 MiddleEast version.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] themathers:
Since Huawei stopped the bootloader unlocking service, and I got my phone recently, the method of unlocking the bootloader is troublesome and kind of costly, so I decided not to do anything with it. With FunkyHuawei's eRecovery method, you can update your phone to any firmwares available on their site even with a locked bootloaded. It is quite easy, you should take a look at it. If you decided to go with them, I'd recommend you to back up your data (HiSuite might not be able to restore app data) before updating. I had to factory reset the phone after the update because the phone might have some glitches. Really, I'd recommend this method, it does cost you $18 but it gets the job done. You can PM me if you have any further question.

I had an error while trying to update to 159 via eRecovery method. The computer does not recognize the USB connection. Couldn't fix it myself so I contacted FunkyHuawei and they advised me to do HiSuite method and it worked. I thought I had to downgrade to Oreo first but I just left the 159 on and it could update. May be that could be your solution too.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] rayxanber:
Thank you all, i have unlocked, rebrand and install Pie my device using funkyhuawei services but since i ran out of credits i want to be sure that if i renew just 1 credit to download the new firmware i can do the upgrade directly from my pie old build to the new one without issues instead of purchase more credits if i have to execute more tasks.

I've manage to download the new build from another site but as i mentioned as im trying to installing using the hidden menu it does not work

When is mate 10 (Alp-l29, c185) receiving emui 9 in the middle east?

Hi I am desperate to receive emui 9.0 after seeing many sites claiming the beta for middle east varients.

I joined the beta program few months ago but misteriously got kicked out or I must say the "my projects" tab was empty a week ago. I would like to know when actually huawei will roll out and OTA update for the mate 10, thankyou
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Fazee99:
Dear,

I have managed to install ALP-L29 9.0.0.159 through funkyhuawei, and its working perfectly fine. but I need to know whether i will receive the future OTA updates or no? Also my ERecovery is no more functional, I can not go back to stock \ROM. Please advise..

Thanks
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] themathers:
Regarding to OTA, FH told me that we might be able to receive (this build is a legit build from Huawei anyway), but we have to wait and see. I notice that Huawei sends out update at different times to different locations for the same model, hate it. Mate 10 pro is on build 161, but Mate 10 is on build 159, so I guess we have to check FH once in a while together with System Updater. Actually, FH released official Pie updates before Huawei officially announced Pie update schedule, kinda strange though, many have a conspiracy theory on the relationship between FH and Huawei :D

I think the ROMs provided by FH are stock ROM, that is why we can update the phone through Huawei methods and not third-party ones. Let me guess, you did a factory reset after upgarding to Pie? I had this problem with beta version, and it is an issue with Pie builds, according to FH. If you want to downgrade to Oreo or another build, you have to do it via a specific HiSuite version, to me this way is so much faster than eRecovery. I can provide you the software, but I'd suggest you to contact to FH first, they told me that the reason they don't publish this method is because not every one's issue has a same cause. This is a last resort.

Hope this'd be helpful.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Fazee99:
Dear,

They also told me that they didn't stop OTA updates, it's upto huawei to send OTA updates, I hope so it will be like this,

Yes I did factory reset after installing the Pie on my phone, because it was little slow and glitches. No ERecovery is not working to go back to Stock recovery. Can you please tell me that method to try it. Which version you are talking about for HiSuite. I want to go back to the Stock ROM and to receive updates via Huawei OTA. Its very strange to me, that updates are available in the market for the phone, and Huawei not sending to their phones, and also someone like(FW) able to update the phone, something is fishy. May huawei becomes more professional in doing promises.. and satisfy their customers more.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] themathers:
Yes, I also got glitches and many time couldn't turn on the screen, that is why I had to do it. I uploaded the HiSuite version here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NYsPYS6aB1BHaf1p5F_mJJJQMOSc0lql/view?usp=drivesdk

Uninstall your current HiSuite, install this version and follow the same steps (DNS) with FH but without eRecovery.

Not so sure about the stock recovery as you mentioned, but may be what you need is to downgrade to Oreo. I checked on FH and they have a new firmware for downgrade purpose, I don't know what is the difference though. Good luck.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] themathers:
Just received a patch for build 159 from Huawei, so I think OTA works normal on FH's roms.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Fazee99:
Finally, ALP-L29 9.0.0.159 officially launched here in Saudi Arabia, and I was not satisfied with the FunkyHuawei software. So decided to downgrade my phone to Android Oreo again, and then update officially.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Slacker:
Saturday evening, while I was going to sleep, I saw my screen wake up (across the room) I kind of looked at it to see if someone was calling and saw the boot logo, didnt think much of it and went to sleep.

Sunday afternoon I go to use my phone and it is off, I hold the power button and get nothing, try a few more times, still nothing.

This is a 9 month old 100% stock pixel 2 running android 9

I tried a couple of adb tool kits and of course they dont connect, no adb.

The only sign of life is that the computer acknowledges the connection when i connect by usb to the pc, I found that in device manager it shows it as a qualcom dloader, which sounds to me like it is in download mode.

I assume my hands are tied due to it being stock.

To make matters worse, I went through the process of getting a replacement and google shipped it to an old address and say they cant do anything about it, so now i have a $650 charge on my CC and no idea if i will ever see the replacement, googles phone support is a nightmare, six hours on the phone and on hold with them and got nowhere, the last thing they said is that someone from support will contact me by email.

While trying to find a solution on the web I came across a surprising number of people with the same issue.

Any tips about things to try or even how to get google support to fix the replacement being shipped to the wrong address will be appreciated.

Sony App collection​

What can my module do?​

- It allows you to install most Sony apps from the PlayStore or you download the APKs from APKMirror (Music, Album, Live Wallpapers and many more)

- It supports add ons for apps that aren't available at the Play Store (Widgets, E-mail, Contacts, Dialer, Launcher and some more)

- Couple of functions are still in work and hopefully will be added soon

How do I install it?​

1. Download and install the Base module in Magisk

- Now, after a reboot, you can start getting your Sony apps from the PlayStore or you install the from me tested APK's

Optional:

2. Download and install an add-on of your choice in Magisk

- That's all

Add-on description:

The most add-ons remove the AOSP/Google apps and replace it with the Sony alternative.

After uninstalling the module the AOSP/Google app will be restored.

Extra (non-magisk):

3. Download and flash the Xperia Bootanimation via TWRP

Workarounds​

How to open AR effect?

- Download and install More Shortcuts from the PlayStore

Open the App and select "Activity"

Search for "AR effect" and tap on it

Now tap on the first entry in the list (AREffectApp) and creat a shortcut

Now there is a shortcut on your launcher with that you can open the app

How to open the Xperia Assist?

- It doesn't create a app icon, it creates a new category in the settings app, so just open the settings and tap on "Xperia Assist"

How to open the Photo editor?

-You have to install also the Album app to use it.

From the Album app you just tap on a photo and then on the edit button than you can choose the photo editor

You miss an app or have a problem with an existing one?

-Just leave a comment and I'll help you as soon as possible.

Do you want an add-on that I haven't created yet?

-Just ask and I will give my best to create it for you.

Gdrive is to slow or aren't available?

-Then use the Mega mirror

[Magisk] Toni1988:
Many thanks dear developer for porting Sony Apps to the community and for making them available to anyone.

I tried 4 Apks on my Xiaomi Mi A2, where I was the most curious about, like for example the live wallpapers and normal wallpapers and I have to say that I was amazed. It remembers you of the PS3 live wallpapers. On top of that it offers many colours.

Other than that I tried Photo Editor which has nice editing features. This one is maybe a bit simplistic in its choices but the choices it offers are compelling. Sony almost always means great quality and you can tell for yourself.

The play store recognizes and finds Sony Apps after installing the base module in magisk which is a bonus. :good:

If all 4 Apks worked, then the others should work, too.

IT WORKS :cool:

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
I think using create a profile that uses "UI Action" from AutoInput as a context will get you where you want. It should trigger anytime you touch the screen and the associated task contains a wait so if another touch occurs, the task will re-fire and start the wait again. The profile should be configured to abort the existing task for that to work. If the wait completes, then your daydream app can be launched.

I downloaded the December factory image and updated the same way I always do:

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-walleye-mw8998-002.0073.02.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio-walleye-g8998-00253-1809191716.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot update image-walleye-pq1a.181205.002.zip

After the standard update flow, the device rebooted and gave me the usual verified boot Orange warning screen, then I pressed power twice to move past it and the device loaded into the bootloader with "ERROR: LoadImageAndAuth Failed: Load Error" at the bottom.

Now when I try to boot, I don't get the verified boot screen, just the bootloader with "ERROR: Slot Unbootable: Load Error"

The bootloader no longer enumerates as a USB device, so I can't try reflashing the bootloader or flashing it to slot B (I am on slot A) or anything else. It does still say "Device State: unlocked" but I can't seem to do anything else.

I have tried multiple USB A->C cables and a USB C->C cable and multiple host machines, but none of them will get the Pixel 2 to show up in Device Manager.

Have I had a hardware failure? Is this any kind of known issue and is there any way to recover it?

Thanks.

To successfully root on the Dec update you must use Magisk v18.0

[2018.12.8] Magisk v18.0 - Root & Universal Systemless Interface [Android 5.0+]

If you've used an older version, you'll get a boot loop into Recovery.

Does your desktop/ laptop recognize your Pixel 2 in bootloader mode?

If it does, then there is almost 99% chance you can get it to boot up with some flashing.

If it doesn't there's literally no way for us to recover it.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] yuva_cool:
I too have been flashing since the last 2 years. But this was the first time everything went to hell. I mean this is ridiculous. And as far as I have noticed many people are facing this issue after flashing the December patches. I'm guessing something on the Google's end messed up things.

I applied for a repair and they picked up my device. Will know in a few days if they are kind enough to repair it for free.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] drmason:
Kind? I hope it's not a thing of kindness. As far as I know a unlocked bootloader doesn't void warranty... and they provide 24 month of warranty so I expect a free replacement.

My replacement should be arriving soon and if they will charge me the full price again this will be my last pixel I guess. Also they didn't argue or asked more questions at all on the hotline after I told them it died after flashing december patch. I guess they know whats going on...
