[MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION] Hi, with stock ROM when you auto-rotate the tablet to landscape mode and disable the auto-rotate, then you lock the screen and unlock it again it's still landscape mode. In your ROM it's always portrait mode after unlock when auto-rotate is off which is very anonying. Could you maybe fix that? Kind regards Uludag.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] CountryBoy_71:
Good Morning All,

I am just wondering if the above mentioned unlock was the DC-Unlocker way and if anyone has successfully tested it on the M3 10. I obviously found the guide which details the process for the M3 8's. Just wanted to verify.

Thank you.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
I'm not sure , but I'll try to fix this on the next updates !

Yes, DC-Unlocker it's working well on both devices : Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 10 & M3 Lite 8 ( Snapdragon version ) & also on Huawei MediaPad M3 8.4 ( Kirin version )

Hi [MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION],

And what about photo camera?

Do you think you can fix it?

Or there is another app that could work?

Thanks.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] CountryBoy_71:
I know I have cross-posted this and I will go back and remove them but thought I would include it here since the ultimate goal of my project is to get to LOS17.1 following this procedure.

Since I am still able to get into TWRP, can I just skip getting back into the stock ROM (my problem above) and follow the instructions posted at the beginning of the thread? I am currently running TWRP 3.2.0 which I know I can update after LOS.

Thanks and sorry for being such a pain!
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
I'm sorry but I can't help you !

First, you should be more explicit ... I really don't understand what you did till now on your device and in what state it's your device now !

If you need help, try to make yourself more understood and also post here step by step what you already did on your device .... and in which state it's your device ( what twrp do you have, what ROM do you use and if it's able to boot or not )

Thanks for understanding :o

Unfortunately the camera cannot be fixed ... there is a kernel issues about camera drivers and Huawei has no interest in releasing a fully functional kernel compatible with stock EMUI ROM Android Nougat !

Moreover, if you compile a kernel from the released source of the kernel your device will not even able to boot ... I had to add another 4000 new patches to be able to successfully boot on Android Nougat !

Good Day [MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION]

Since I have now given my hands a slap for not elaborating properly in my previous question, above, I will try and provide all necessary information and steps I have taken to now. This is on my BAH-W09

1. unlocked bootloader

2. installed twrp 3.2.0

3. wiped all

4. installed LOS17.1 & GAPPS (latest)

5. booted into LOS and finished setting up OS

6. back into recovery, updated to twrp 3.3.1 and flashed Magisk Zip v20.2

7. rebooted back into OS

8. installed magisk apk

So far, for me, the only issue I am having is that when I open up magisk apk, it is showing me that magisk is not installed. I have spent quite a large portion of the day trying to figure out (read/search) to see if there was something I did/didn't do properly. I haven't been able to find out how to resolve this issue. Hopefully I have given you enough information to provide some feedback but please feel free to let me know if you need more.

Thanks for keeping this device alive, when Huawei gave up ;)

Just taking a moment out of the day to say thank you for all your work on this device. Almost a week in on LOS17.1 and I have a renewed appreciation for this device. Fast and clean! Please keep up the great work!

Also, I just wanted to follow up and see if there is any feedback you are (or anyone else) is able to provide on my previous post (#436) on Magisk issues?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Thanks !

Unfortunately I don't use Magisk, so I can't help you, sorry !

Anyone problems using Google Chrome ?

i cant see any website with Chrome (white screen) and the tabs are gone, seems like a problem with the rendering....

what ive done :

- delete Chrome cache & settings -> no change

- (dirty) upgrade from the september to the october ROM -> no change

- delete dalvik, etc... -> no change

- install Firefox, Firefox works...

hmmm... any hints ?

Marc
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kuraikaze:
I'm seeing this too, but it seems to be a problem with the latest Chrome version (86.0.4240.185) rather than LOS 17.1 as it was working fine when I first installed the latest ROM update but only started misbehaving after Chrome updated a day or two ago.

The issue seems to occur when Chrome is started in landscape mode. If you rotate the device to portrait Chrome starts rendering properly again, and continues to work when you rotate back to landscape again afterwards.

Weird :confused:
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] #marcg#:
Year, yesterday i got it too.. .. Switch it to auto-rotate and rotate the tab from landscape and portrait and back, and it works...

Marc
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kuraikaze:
UPDATE: Doing a Force Stop and Clear Cache on latest Chrome seems to cure this permanently.

I was going to go and find an .apk of the previous version and overwrite current with that, when it occurred to me that there might be a bunch of old junk in the cache that was processed slightly differently by the old render/javascript engine. Cleared that out and now the current version seems to be back to behaving normally.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] #marcg#:
Thanks, this morning ive done a clean Rom flash and a clean App install and all works percekt now....next time im waiting a few days, its easyer... :)
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kuraikaze:
It's so weird that a simple clearing of Chrome cache worked for me, but you had to do a full flash.

Bizarre :/
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] #marcg#:
I think clearing the cache would working now, but last week definitly not. I try this at 3.11. and your Post i read After i flash the Tab... :D

New Update !

Hi !

A new update was released with the last security patch : November 5, 2020 !

Like always, please check OP for downloads, thanks !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Kagum:
Hey Sudru,

the new update seems to be good. I didn't recognize any problems.

But i think the UI works a bit smoother. Good work.

Thank you.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Uludag:
[MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION] Thanks for the great work. But lock screen rotation behaviour still seems to be wrong. The setting which would fix that should be:

/system/build.prop log.tag.launcher_force_rotate=VERBOSE lockscreen.rot_override=true

Any chance you could take a look on the before the next update?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Thanks, sure I'll take a look later :)

Hi, I'm stuck in a boot loop and can only get into fastboot mode. I have tried fastboot flashing multiple twrp versions, but it just goes back into looping after rebooting. I had the latest 11/21 Lineage installed but found the touch screen was not working so I tried the 3/15 version of it. After that, I got stuck in this loop and can't seem to get into recovery at all. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks for all your help, I've successfully installed twrp and unlocked my bootloader earlier thanks to you!
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
You have issues because you did not carefully follow the installation steps ...

Please go here and try to respect step by step installation instructions ... it's stated clearly when you should update TWRP/ROM and also in which TWRP/ROM you should be before to update TWRP/ROM !

My advice it's to start from scratch and also don't miss to do a full clean install !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Eilermoon:
Thanks for the link, I found this before which is where I got that version of TWRP from. I understand I probably messed something up, but that doesn't help me with my current situation of a boot-loop.

I didn't see a solution to this guy's problem which sounds like mine unless I missed something. Is there something I can do from bootloader? Flashing a new TWRP from bootloader doesn't help me at all.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] pasha4ur:
Manual is written in such way that many people stuck with such problem.

We asked developer to rewrite manual but ...
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Eilermoon:
Great! So I'm screwed? You still have the same issue?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Only 2 users doesn't mean many people.

And Yes, the Installation instructions was already updated, so you can't go wrong if you read them carefully !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Eilermoon:
It would be nice if I got a direct answer, at least. My tablet is now bricked and to your knowledge, there's no way to fix this?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] wallak.1973:
I think it's also very clear that you should flash a custom ROM on your device at your own risk.

This place is not the right place for complaints or others, we are responsible for our acts.

We want a lot of things (for free if possible), many people here never donated or collaborated (I did) and, when problems arrive, we urge for solutions. Not fair. Stay at stock ROM and learn about processes and risks, after that, if You are ready, go for the flash.

Anyway, for You, so sorry for your bricked tablet, maybe you should navigate on the forums where there are exactly ways to explore/recover a device, because it's a general question and, normally, it's a common problem, not related to an specific ROM.

Best regards, and good luck on your recovery.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] pasha4ur:
Hi

These people are very conceited and cannot admit that the instructions are not fully written. I stopped donating because of this behavior.

I don't remember how I recovered my tablet and there is no instructions how avoid such problem.

Maybe you should install recovery and LOS from topic for LOS 16, then update new recovery for installing LOS 17 and flash LOS 17.

As I said, these people do not want to admit that the instructions are not complete and lead to errors for those who just found out about the firmware and try to install Android 10 right away.

You will not find a warning about this anywhere in the instructions in this topic. And they will not help you.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
In 10 years of development on xda, I have found many users of this kind who complain that their device is broken, but many forgot to specify exactly what other wrong operations they performed until they reached that state .... I understand that it's much easier to blame the developer instead of being right and taking responsibility for what you did wrong !

I want to remind you that no matter how well the installation instructions are explained, there will always be a person who does not understand them !

And even if he understands them, it's enough to miss a step from Installation instruction and your device will be bricked.

I can't guess what he did on his device to give him concrete help ... when you need help you must specify all the operations ( step by step ) you have done before !

And as you can see in the screenshot below, it was expected to break the device ...

Honestly, you can't start installing something when you haven't read or documented yourself enough beforehand, and as far as I can remember this cause was in your case as well !

This was also one of the reasons why xda was created, let's help each other, that's why I don't understand why users who have doubts about Installation don't ask for help before making a decision ... if you are unsure for the next step of installation, please ask here for help before to take any action on your device and not after that !

EDIT:

Please move the discussions about help to another section - there are specific topics where you need to post when you need help !

Here we will only talk about LOS 17.1

Thanks for understanding !

Thread CLOSED until next UPDATE !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
This thread will be soon cleaned from unrelated posts !

Please don't post here abusive post or unrelated with this topic !

If you want help of any kind but it is not strictly related to LOS 17.1, please do not post here because will be ignored ... instead, you should post in this section .

Thank you very much for your understanding !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] pasha4ur:
maybe after 1+ year you are ready to write in 1st post that people will not be able to restore device from this firmware to stock firmware and there are a lot bricked devices (even you have such).

Is it hard to make full descriptive post for users in a whole year?

I'm very, very thankful about surdu's great work. I know it takes a lot of time to create such a stable rom. The instruction steps to install TWRP at the first time and LineageOS afterwards are clear. The warnings too!

Surdu often helped with his special knowlege, even when users made mistakes. It was more than i in a developer forum expected. That helped me and others who ran in trouble.

We all know that installation of custom roms is a little bit risky. And we did it on our own risk. Most users in on xda don't expect a "full descriptive post". They respect the developers energy, time and risk he invest. And they are thankful that surdu goes forward in development. Thats more than enough.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:

Yeah, I just wanted to come in and support surdu. At least once or twice when updating to the next versions I 'bricked' my device but knowing when it happened allowed surdu to help me fix it. You have to be able to export logs etc.

Also reading the 25 pages on this thread will probably also help solve some of your issues.

Pretty much start again and follow each step. English is not surdu's first language but he is still pretty feckin good at it!

It works like a charm, simply fantastic. People should really think about to compare stock ROM to this one made by surdu_petru (more than people, probably Huawei should be ashamed about not extending life to this great tablet)

Surdu_petru, Lord of the ROM kitchen for this device, many and infinite thanks for your work, have a great end of year and happy happy happy new year.

👏👏👏👏👏
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jotajota1984:
Hi, Im new in this site, I would like to share my experience and thank to surdu for your amazing job.

My tablet: Huawei Mediapad m3 10 lite - BAH-W09. Starting with latest stock ROM (EMUI 5.2.1 if my memory doesnt fail), with locked bootloader.

My objective: I am using this tablet mainly to learn to play the piano with Synthesia, and stock Huawei was not working properly, under some random circunstances the MIDI connection was disconnected after some tens of seconds or up to 3/4 minutes, so decided to try to customize it with this thread ROM.

Fist of all, my steps:

1) Unlock the bootloader with the DC - Unlocker method (4€). A moment of panicking when the app recognice my tablet only in fastboot mode, but after installing Hi-Suite, things return to normal and I get the bootloader unlocked.

2) Install TWRP 3.2.0-0 in fastboot, reboot.

3) Install Lineage 16.0 in TWRP, reboot.

4) Install TWRP 3.3.1-3

5) Install Lineage 17.1 && open_gapps-arm64-10.0-nano-20201223.zip. In order to complete the starting configuration of gapps, I didnt configure wifi network because seems that first android configuration keeps looping itself, and didnt allow to finish the starting configuration.

After this steps, and some workarounds, I success to play Synthesia with my MIDI piano connected with USB-OTG.

Things that I see that are not working fully or working with workarounds:

- Taking pictures with Photo camera.

- Complete configuration of android. In spite ok skipping all the steps, it keeps looping to the first configuration steps. Anyway PlayStore works, I logged my account, and GooglePlay also works as expected.

- OTG seems to require that the device is connected at start.

- Huawei fingerprint sensor works, but the gestures are not recogniced ("remap buttons and gestures" application allows to map some actions but it fails after a short time)

- Sounds feels different from stock, more "canned". (I installed "Wavelet" application to improve this a little bit)

Im overall very happy with the update, the tablet feels so responsive and fast (probably the stock ROM was overly bloated) and my main objetive is achieved.

Thanks Surdu for your great job.

Best regards and Merry Christmas.

Edited: Added references to workaround applications.

For some reason MTP is enabled but the device is not detected by the PC.
