[Treble-Enabled Device Guides, News, & Discussion] irony_delerium:
In Oreo and up, the erecovery partitions can't be flashed by fastboot unless you have a fully unlocked fastboot (not just a standard bootloader unlock). Huawei restricted the flashing of partitions, even if you're unlocked - an unlocked device can still only flash a limited set of partitions, and erecovery is not part of that whitelist.

The only ways of getting a fully unlocked fastboot are:

- Patching the contents of the nvme partition.

- On devices running roughly August or earlier security patch, with an slock token. (Only lasts for the single boot you do it.)

- Using testpoints and some variant of IDT to load sec_usb_xloader and sec_fastboot from a board software package. Again, only for a single boot, and whether the board xloader will even come up if your device has been updated to xloader2 isn't something I can be sure of.

Otherwise, if you need to flash a partition outside of system, kernel, recovery_*, and vbmeta, you have to use TWRP or do it from a root shell.

Yeah i thought so, i understand you, and i thank you. This is what i noticed once, can't remember the exact wording but it was something like

•FB LOCKED

•PHONE UNLOCKED

•FRP UNLOCKED

and i already had my two reds in the bl screen,

and i was already as fully locked as i can get as well, i also noticed a whole bunch of commands are crippled because of the decision, such as the erase and formats, and others I've come across. Well, we could be worse, we could be Verizon

----- I'm sorry, once again, what about that x loader thing?
[Treble-Enabled Device Guides, News, & Discussion] irony_delerium:
Sec_usb_xloader is used when booting from, essentially, a forced download state. In that boot state, screen doesn't come on; instead, it presents to a connected PC as a serial port (on Windows, it'll show up as HUAWEI USB SER in device manager), waiting for a utility to send over xloader and fastboot. Of course, it expects signed images (except maybe on chipsets marked for development), which is where that image comes in - it has a signature recognized by the chipset, so it'll take it and use it for startup. The fastboot image that goes along with it has it's lockdowns disabled, and so it'll flash anything.

Oooohhhhh!!!!

I once and this is in all honesty (why would i lie to you!) I had messed (as i always have and possibly will) with my phones, but this particular time it simply laid there, dead, one morning when i woke up. Nothing i did revived it. I looked up online. Nothing. Sent it back and they fixed it immediately.

What did i look up online? Huawei USB ser.

That's what my computer was showing. No screen. No vibration, only the "ding" the computer makes when plugging it.

To this date i don't know why it happened.

However, since you mention it, it's a possibility (or is it?) i may have updated the software inadvertently without rebooting (if that's even doable) and it either random rebooted itself at night or it died (can't remember if i had it plugged in or not. I don't recall however being the type of guy who carelessly updates thru unorthodox ways, tho!)

It's all very strange to this date.

But you what you said is interesting. Thank you! One more thing, if you consider it won't derail the thread much more, what's that in my screenshot i included last time?
[Treble-Enabled Device Guides, News, & Discussion] irony_delerium:
It's probably a signature file. It's too small to be xloader itself (the USB variants are ~150k as I recall), so it would probably be used with fastboot to allow flashing of xloader on an otherwise locked bootloader.

dude!

which by the way reminds me, after i booted q, i haven't been able to install ok-9 (or-a;not that i could before (only ok-8) - would it have anything to do with the vbmeta thingie? I do see you guys have or-b now, but I'll wait for your answer, thanking you in advance for any additional help)
[Treble-Enabled Device Guides, News, & Discussion] irony_delerium:
I haven't tried flashing the Mate 9 I've got with Q back to anything else, yet. I don't think it has anything to do with vbmeta, though - P goes "this said vbmeta but I don't see it, so I'm ignoring it" for the most part. Stock, perhaps, might care that it's not there.

No, I'm sorry, let me explain.:

[Treble-Enabled Device Guides, News, & Discussion] Robert314:
There is now a GSI by phusson https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list which you can download and flash like an openkirin ROM on EMUI 9 devices. You want to download the AB arm64 version because of the changes due to pie. The ROM will be very buggy and might not even boot because it's in alpha stage and is primarily targeted at booting before other issues are fixed.

Disclaimer: this is all from what I've inferred. I've had no experience of flashing GSIs from that page and so assume no responsibility for any bricked devices or thermonuclear wars!?

Edit: Also chances are openkirin are waiting for android 10 GSIs from their chosen ROMs to be bootable and reasonably working before they can apply the Kirin specific software and improvements. As many developers they prefer to distribute a working version as opposed to a really buggy broken version.

[Treble-Enabled Device Guides, News, & Discussion] Robert314:
Yeah flash in fastboot with usual fastboot flash system command. It might boot however it might not. I said A/B image because somewhere I read that devices updated to android pie with android pie vendor image should use A/B instead. Ok not sure at all?. I use my phone as a daily so only ever flash trustworthy openkirin ROMs even though I am quite interested in the ROM community.

[Treble-Enabled Device Guides, News, & Discussion] Robert314:
Read this https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki if your device is project treble enabled and you are currently running pie with a pie vendor image you should be good to go for flashing the new Q image or flashing an old pie image (which will be more stable)
[Treble-Enabled Device Guides, News, & Discussion] kev1807:
:) nice one. I'll try it after my vacation.

Thanks - Yeah, am Treble enabled and on Pie-vendor (although I have to admit 9.0.1 only, but that's a minor typo on my behalf)

Someone even claimed to have booted up on the Mate 9, which features the HiSilicon Kirin 960 Octa-Core, as the Huawei Mediapad M5 Pro! I'll report back!

I am the most tired of Huawei and EMUI, after I had a "friendly" conversation with customer support regarding mirroring desktop mode ...

I had asked for the protocol used to mirror the display. As I am able to mirror desktop mode via windows10 "connect" but not via Chromecast. (I returned the Chromecast!). The woman was like "Why would anyone want to do this?This does not work" afterwards she hung up on me ... :D

Snapdragon chipsets tend to work better with GSIs. Do your research and find out if your device is treble compatible and how to flash it and the risks associated. However you might not be able to boot Q because you have an Oreo vendor image. However that might not be a problem. ? I don't know ?

[Fitbit Watches] lambstone:
3rd update: Contacted the fitbit support (again) and they say they have escalated once more to a higher tier. Contacted fitbit twitter which also claims that their higher support team is looking into this. For future updates, if you ever get in touch with someone named Da*** I, might be worth a shot trying to contact someone else.

2nd Update: When I asked fitbit to clarify the fact that I am out of pocket for my fitbit due to a mistake on their part they completely ignored my email and gave me the copy pasta bs about "not recycling it before you received"

1st update: I hate to beg for up votes but I would appreciate the visibility of this. Fitbit support has completely forsaken me. I followed everything they said and now they are refusing to send me a replacement. They said its impossible to issue a replacement unless they received the damaged fitbit. https://imgur.com/a/jpKOagw

/Back Story

That's right folks.

Do not. Don't recycle or dispose of your faulty fitbit until you actually received your warranty replacement. Story to follow.

My charge 3 had a problem so I contacted support and went through troubleshooting. Obviously it didn't work so I jumped through more hoops and a replacement order was made. Shortly after I received a confirmation.

You would assume all is well right? Wrong. I waited for almost a week for dispatch just to find out that my replacement was cancelled.

Back to fitbit support and only now do they tell me that they want me to send my faulty fitbit back to them. Problem is, I wasn't told about this during my prior communication with them. Being mindful of tech waste I have already chucked my faulty fitbit into electronics recycling. You see where I'm going with this?

Fitbit support then tries to insinuate that I was informed via email not to recycle until I received the replacement. This is obviously false. The email just provides a suggestion on what to do with your defective fitbit. After a long chat with the support staff they are now going to change the wording to make sure you don't dispose of it until you receive the replacement.

Now my fitbit is completely gone. Nada. They have however escalated this but I'm not sure how it'll turn out. Considering their sleep apnea promises have fallen flat so far as all.

TLDR. Fitbit issued me a replacement. They backtracked on it. Asked me to send the faulty unit back. I recycled mine. Now I'm stuck in limbo.

Hi, it is normal to not recycle a product when we are in the middle of a process of waranty/exchange/repare ;) we can when we have the replacement and even wait few time after, it is the logical process.

My assistant seems to work Ok for a while (after configuration), recognizing my voice locked, unlocked, in any screen. But after a while it simply stops working, not recognizing any voice. I noticed that when i put my headphones (with mic) on and say "Ok google" the it works again, and when i remove my headphone it keeps working for a while (maybe a few hours) before stop again. I think that is something on miui shutting down the mic sensor, and when i plug my headphone it reactivates. I dont know if theres any solution for this problem.

Google removed the WPS on Android Pie and there is no other way in enabling it because they technically removed it for good. WPS is fast but not secure as WPA/WPA2 so they removed it.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kctucka:
I boot looped my 2017 Fire 8 trying to install the Xposed framework. I have booted to recovery in an attempt to flash the Stock Firmware to my device, and selected the "apply update from ADB" option. When I attempt to do so, ADB does not recognize the device as connected.

I assume I have the correct ADB drivers installed, as I am capable of opening up a root shell on my 2017 Fire 10 when it is connected with the same USB cable and port. Maybe there is something wrong with the Fire 8 drivers?

Is there anything additional that must be done to enable ADB in recovery mode?

Edit: fixed it by manually updating the fire drivers through the device manager. This could only be done when in ADB sideload from recovery boot.

Device: Redmi Note 5 AI (Chinese 3/32)

Firmware: Pie Beta 9.3.29

Anti Rollback Index: 4

I was in MIUI official beta and upgraded to MIUI Pie Beta couple of days ago. I didn't like the update much and decided to flash custom ROM for the first time (for this device). So, I flashed Havoc OS 2.3(whyred) and after dealing with encryption I was able to boot successfully. But, camera and audio(music player, video player, YouTube), MTP, flash and few other things were not working, so I flashed Pixel Experience(whyred). Unfortunately, I wasn't able to boot this time. The rom booted into fastboot mode instead of system.

My understanding after roaming around XDA is that it's happening because my base firmware is pie. So, I want to flash an Oreo firmware. Is that possible? What about ARB?
