Thanks you <3
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] dd66:
Personnaly (and tested) I would prefer the OTA sideload method before relocking bootloader, this may avoid bootloop or start screen stuck.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] truongcoi85:
Can you give specific instructions? Does rooting cause a loss of battery life?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] dd66:
Specific instructions may be found on Google developer site, quite easy.

Regarding the battery loss, no, it won't interfere. More, I have a custom kernel (EX) which preserve it significantly.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] CyberpodS2:
Just a personal preference maybe but... I would say flashing the full factory image WITH wipe still enabled is your safest route. Also DO NOT toggle off the "OEM Unlocking" switch until you are super sure all is back to the should and booting properly! There is actually no reason to ever toggle that switch back off in my opinion.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] sic0048:
If the relocking process wipes the phone (I've never done it myself), then there is zero benefit to flashing the factory image without having it do a full factory image. You need to backup your data in either case (if you have anything you want to keep). Having the phone do a full factory reset is the best way to ensure everything is back to normal prior to relocking the phone.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] CyberpodS2:
Perfect follow-up to my post. You did a better job articulating the risk avoidance aspect. Lol
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] lafester:
Better yet... Flash full October image and then take Nov ota before locking.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Cornloaf:
Sorry for the late reply to this thread, but I just went through this with my Pixel 4XL. I did a complete uninstall of Magisk and rebooted. I then went to the Google Pixel image page and used the flash feature for the latest version. I selected the option to wipe, restore partitions and lock the bootloader. It all seemed to go well until I booted the phone and ran through the setup pages and it prompted me to re-download my T-Mobile eSIM. I went into settings and deleted the eSIM and then did another factory reset on the phone just to be sure.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] kashifnawaz85:

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] krakout:
Hello!

Today I realised that Location History (and, hence, Location Sharing) is not available to me... Googling the issue I see that this issue has been bothering many users of Chinese phones, but with no clear solution.

Of course location history was working fine since the day I got the phone, and I didn't change anything like, say, flashing a new ROM. I'm on OB25, btw.

Anyone else facing the same issue?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] marcge 63:
Same for me. Was working fine for one years and a recent research showed that it stopped working...
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] krakout:
Had to remove my Google account, now it's working again. However, judging from others posting in various sites, I don't know for how long...
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] mouse4u:
I have the same issue on Vivo Iqoo Pro. the location history was working initially, and stopped working after the google play service automatically upgraded. What i am doing is uninstall the google play service and reinstall the original play service from the Vivo app market almost every the other day when google play service upgraded to the newest version.

I don't know how to stop the google play service automatic updating... maybe i have to root the cell phone and then there is a way to stop the play service updating...
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] krakout:
That's a valid question...

As for me, in the end I had enough and just cleanly flashed my ROM. For some reason, the problem did not appear again!

Hello,

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] NwotNot:
Hello,

In a late-night act of utter stupidity, when over-tired, I re-flashed the boot recovery with TWRP and bricked my M3. It obviously can't now enter boot recovery.

I've used TWRP and successfully re-flashed custom roms on my original Mate, and changed regions. (Not in any way an expert, I know how to follow instructions.)

I was trying to convert my Chinese (I was living there) ROM to UK. It's tricky nowadays.

This was a stupid error when tired. Any way back?

I read somewhere that people with the right hardware can do it, but finding someone. I'm in Leeds, UK.

The pad does (did) what I need, and I'm not in a position to buy a new one. If it's dead, it's dead; and I can move on.

Cheers in advance for any input.

SOLVED

See my last post on this thread.

After using Multi Tool V8 to enquire into the machine I switched off and rebooted.

It came back with a "Wipe cache" and "Reset to factory settings" Huawei screen, so I did both and - It booted!

It had spectacularly failed to do anything but boot-loop since coming out of a very dead battery yesterday.

1) Boot recovery, OTA recovery, and dload recovery from SD were all unavailable after the original overwriting of the bootloader.

2) After being dead for months, all recovery options booted from power button plus vol- Vol+ and Vol+/- - but still bootlooping.

Then, suddenly it booted into wipe cache/factory reset screen.

Android 7, EMUI 5.1.3

I have no idea why.

Now fully working. (Including restarting) :)
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] qllkevuoi:
I fell in a similar situation after having flashed a magisk module .. unfortunately my nandroid backup didn't restore my devices, but I was able to enter in twrp recovery.. so,..

if you can boot in twrp recovery, not all hopes are lost..

first of all, you must download a stock firmware for your device (i suggest to download trough huawei firmware finder: https://xdaforums.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146/amp/)

You must download a fullota version of stock firmware

then, you can flash this firmware (3 zip files) trough hurupdater via twrp recovery: https://xdaforums.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279/amp/

in order to not overwrite twrp recovery, put the twrp.img file in the same folder and rename it to recovery.img

you can find more info in this topic (follow the instructions, in particular those on how to use hurupdater): https://xdaforums.com/mediapad-m3/how-to/updating-btv-dl09-to-unapproved-firmware-t3817541

in order to find a firmware suitable to your device, try to find info on it: you have a mediapad m3 European? American? asian? just wifi or also 4G-LTE (whit a sim and phone functions)? lite or normal version? 10 inches or 8.4?

everyone of these devices have different codenames and suitable firmwares

I found exact firmware for my devices with the procedure described here:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77241673&postcount=3

.. but, if you flashed a wrong firmware, i really don't know if it might help you..

anyway, i wish the info above could help you.

Update - Bootloader working after battery drain: Now what?

[Edit] Post redundant as it started working - see OP.

Well...

After being without power for so long I turned the tablet on and it booted!

However, it then went into OTA and updated - rebooted - and locked the damned bootloader. :mad:

1) It's showing as rooted.

2) Boot loader is locked.

3) Fastboot & rescue mode comes up.

4) Recovery (OTA) still comes up but "Fails" this time.

I don't recall how I unlocked it last time. I don't ever rememebr an unlock code.

Status:

Fastboot reports it exists.

ADB reports "Null" not found. (ADB drivers installed).

Firmware version: CPN-AL00C233B078

Device name: CPN-AL00

Serial Number: Showing

IMEI: Showing

Bootloader state: LOCK

I have an old TWRP backup - don't know how to use it.

Solutions?

a) Any kind devs prepared to work with me and find the boot unlocker code for this 5-year old tablet?

b) Any other solutions now we know what's what?

I'm self employed without income in this pandemic and can't really afford to buy a new tablet. If I have to, it won't be Huawei.

(There's a T3 10.6" at £89, but I'm not biting - I need to sort out a budget tablet with at least the oomph of the M3.)

Any help much appreciated. :good:

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] palatkik:
I did a thread earlier whereby I installed a replacement battery in my Mate-9 as the original had started to swell. I did it myself.

Today I notice that the recharging of the battery has become inconsistent, although I have managed for 2 months or more already with replacement battery. Sometimes it charges normally from 3-100% in 90 minutes, other times it won't charge at all. Sometimes it charges faster when turned off, other times it won't charge turned off. A full charge runs as normal for me up to 2 days usage. I cannot determine any pattern as to when it will charge or not charge. It seemed to happen after a recent Huawei system update. I'm using build 9.1.0.252 on model MHA-L29.

** Would a factory reset help at all, or is changing the battery the cause of this does anyone think - or maybe something else I could do?

Thanks.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] palatkik:
This seems to have been Huawei system related for me. The poor battery recharging happened after a Huawei system update. Now Huawei has updated my system again to 9.1.0.252 (C636E7R1P8patch04) and the recharging procedure is normal again.

This is beta version so expect bugs rom/device specific.

Known bug: fp gestures, sepolicy permissive

You can clean flash from pie, but be sure to back up you data and not to encrypt/decrypt on Q, it will soft brick your phone.

Flash instruction:

-You should be on latest twrp, download from folder in OP

1. Download all needed files: Rom, gapps (check OP)

2. Put them to you internal/external phone storage

3. Reboot your phone to TWRP

4. Wipe /system, /data, /vendor, /cache

5. Flash Rom, Gapps, magisk (optional)

6. Reboot

If your phone is laggy, you did something wrong. Audio might stop working, just restart phone. This rom lacks features for now, more coming soon. If you want stable rom, downgrade to pie or get a new device :) Remember, this is still beta.

Because Android 11 Beta 1 was released yesterday there are new GSI builds available. The OG Pixel XL is supposed to support GSIs. Can you explain me how I flash that onto my old Marlin (Pixel XL) device?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] flash713:
You should be able to find the information that you're looking for here https://developer.android.com/topic/generic-system-image/releases#android-gsi-11

If I were you I'd wait. While there's no guarantee I'm pretty sure android 11 roms will be available at some point made for the XL. The Pixel XL is an A/B partition device. Just always make a backup and transfer it on to a thumb drive or your computer before you start installing anything and always have your factory image handy and know how to use fastboot and adb so you can recover if something goes wrong. This whole Android thing is all about reading and searching. Just installing things without knowing what's really going on and how to recover is risky and I would not suggest it.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Help The Peace:
I actually checked out that thread already. I followed the link what to do when the partition size isn't big enough initially. But it didn't work for me. So I guess you're right. I shouldn't flash the GSI and instead wait for Android 11 builds for Marlin. <3
