I need to unlock bootloader in mi a1.

I want to know will unlocking bootloader wipe all data?

Can I unlock bootloader through this method?

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Never_Sm1le:
That method works, but first you have to enable "enable OEM" unlock option, by tapping "Build number" 7 times and then go into developer option.

And BL unlock will wipe all data, there is a holding volume- method to prevent wiping but I never be able to make it work.

[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] Binbin Qian:
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] jonaaa:
You don't need this, install the TWRP-3.0.3.0 OMFG mod or the LR-Team one and then use the "Sign Boot" patch...
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers] rond14:
I had a problem of recovery replacement, it happened to me after installing TWRP and rebooting the phone. This is what I was doing:

- Installed TWRP.

- Reboot phone.

- Keep volume up + power booting while rebooting.

- Recovery overwritten automatically.

My mistake was to keep the power button pressed after the first vibration. Therefore, while rebooting when you feel the vibration release the power button and wait for TWRP to start. Just in case, in my phone after releasing the power button it kept in black screen, if you have this, just press once the power button.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Blob Blobbed:
There is an app for jailbroken iOS devices called coolbooter that partitions a jailbroken idevice's hard drive an installs a second version of iOS, which can then be booted from the first one. The app is particularly useful for people with older iDevices stuck on newer versions of iOS because it allows them to install any version as the second OS, providing significant performance boosts in many cases.

just spitballin here, but would something similar be possible on bootloader locked android devices like N950U? Like, a way to run TWRP or something similar after initial boot, boot a 2nd OS and run it from there?

Hello,

I'm currently in China but from Canada, and picked up the P 30 Pro (love it!) while here.

I've been reading I can update the firmware to get Google on swipe left instead of HiBoard.

The model says it's a VOG-AL10 on the settings page. Is it possible to use the VOG-L29 or or other firmware? I don't want to brick my device.

Everything on the phone otherwise works, I just don't like the HiBoard being in Chinese so I would like to get google on that screen instead. Is this possible yet? I do have developer options but i cannot select unlock bootloader.

This is my first Huawai phone so I'm not too clear on how to go about doing this.

I was going to grab the firmware from this site;

Can I flash it using "normal" procedure (firmware->sd card, run update.app) ?
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] RW13:
VOG-AL10 with Google account

Here is the solution: You need a mid range non activated in China Huawei phone logged with your Google personal account turned on. Open the ' PHONE CLONE' in your VOG-AL10 and select 'THIS IS THE NEW PHONE' to transfer all your data and apps stored in the mid range phone to the VOG-AL10. When the process has finished your VOG-AL10 will be a Chinese Huawei cloned phone with all the Google account functions.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] NJ72:
Moral of the story - do your research first.

The P30 Pro Chinese versions do not usually have Google Play certification. I don't believe that there is currently a way to change the model ID to VOG-L29 either.

They are in /OEM. You can use twrp file manager to delete them (or rename the apk with a ~ at the end) and they will be gone. /OEM/app and OEM/priv-app.

I usually just rename them first, that way if it causes a problem it's not gone. I can name it back and all is well.

I think that the stock software attempts to boost shadow detail to the point that it sacrifices blacks and contrast. I also think the color temperature seems far too warm. While I'm sure Google Camera is the preferred solution, has anyone been using the "Pro Mode" with success? If so what tips do you have? What do your settings look like? What do you pre-set and what do you leave on automatic?

Here is how I have the manual controls set and so far I feel like I'm getting better pics. I still don't know the best settings for "metering" but I'm looking into it. Another note, I think that the images come out a bit less "processed" as well in Pro Mode.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dagrim1:
Also interested, I tried using pro mode but noticed auto gave nicer pictures overall (with pro there was overexposure at light sources for example, or the overall balance was less good). But the auto/default pictures overall are a bit too bright to my liking, I also installed Camera FV-5 which has an RGB histogram option and the red seems overrepresented in there (I notice this mainly in house).

Might give it another try soon, it does remember the settings rigth?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] EricMartinSoCal:
Yes it remembers the settings. My initial issue was color temp. The whites on the stock software are simply not white. I made some adjustments and I'm much happier with the color temp a bit cooler. For example:

Hello all. Before tweaking to DCD 3.1.2, Voice command would announce incoming messages and callers. Now, with dcd, the actual ringtone is played over bluetooth headset and no announcments are made. any thoughts on how to eliminate ringtone being played over bluetooth and have announcments made again? Thanks folks. You guys rock!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] t0mmyr:
mine acts different...i get ringtone in my headset and it announces who calls over ringtone in my headset, also my phone vibrates but doesnt ring.

i wish there was an easy way to configure the settings cuz i would like for my phone to vibrate and ring out loud (im not always wearing my bt headset 24/7 when bt is enabled) and i want my headset to announce so and so is caling or the number if its not in my phonebook.

i also notice when in a call it announces who is calling in for call waiting which is cool

Ring and voice command

Not only those problems but, I have no options for voice commands. I can't set them up use them or even find a icon for them. I am also missing a lot of just standard options. There are no personal settings there is no where to Finnish the GPS setup. I am getting a little tired of running a rom that has absolutely nothing in it. I understand that you should be able to do more with a dcd rom but I don't understand how you are supposed to utilize these options when they have been forcefully removed from the OS. If anyone knows where I can pick up the stock voice command prog, the stock MSN messenger, and how to replace the missing personal settings tab and the slide sound tab. That would be helpful.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
First of all, dcd's roms are meant to be cooked clean. That's why UC compatibility was added. Lots of people got excited when it was first added, but I've seen very very few people actually utilize it the way it's supposed to. Before I go on I have to ask...are you cooking your own rom using the kitchen, or are you using the precooked rom that is posted? If you're using the latter, then NOTHING besides the essential functions will be installed. It's a clean precooked rom and nothing else.

That being said, if you're cooking your own rom with the kitchen, there's a few things you should know...

Voice Command does not come stock with the phone. It's a third party application from Microsoft that costs roughly $40. There isn't an option for it in BuildOS, so unless you have it and you're installing it via a cab (the way I recommend), or through an OEM, then you will not see any options for it, as it is not installed. If you're referring to Voice Speed Dialer, that's a whole different program. There are no options for it. You have to manually record yourself speaking the commands.

Sliding Sound has to be added using BuildOS. If you're not checking it off prior to cooking the rom, then it will not be included in your rom.

I don't use MSN messenger, but I'm going to guess that Windows Live is what you're looking for? If so, Windows Live also has to be added using BuildOS.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say "Finish the GPS settings". Could you clarify?

As far as your personal settings tab goes, that is a valid problem and we would have to speak further in detail for me to diagnose it.

Can someone with DCD Rom 3.1.x and also MS Voice Command confirm if a bug is present? I have 3.0.4 and my wife has 3.0.1 and we both have the same issue with MS VC. Basically, if you use VC to set the ringer volume, you can not re-adjust it using the phone. So, turn off ringer using VC then try to turn it back on using the stylus. Verify that the volume is turned back on.

I simply can not turn the volume back on with the stylus. I can turn it back using VC no problem. Thanks.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] c@rL0$:
I personally do not use Microsoft Voice Command anymore.

The reason is that it uses a lot of resources on my phone.

I did several customizations on my phone and have several apps installed and I roughly get 24 to 25 mb at startup. With voice command I get around 19 to 20.

I just rather use Voice Speed Dial that is in DCD's Kitchens. Yes you would have to program your voice to recognize the commands, but it does what I need it to do and it saves a lot of memory.
