SOLVED: Using Aurora Store, downloaded installed APK Installer. With proper permissions, this works fine.

OK, I'm up and running but can't install apk's I've put into downloads when booted from recovery. No option on 'Install unknown apps' to allow 'Files.'

I can't even install from a root file manager that has been given proper permissions.

And I have no problem downloading attachments.

Thoughts?

I just got mine back up following OP's install instructions. They worked out this time, and that is coming from stock. I flashed the ExSDCard Access Enabler from twrp immediately after Magisk.zip (before cache wipe) and storage is working. You don't need anything else.

And I had installed the manager on stock tablet to prepare boot.img before I even unlocked it, just planning ahead then but now it wouldn't be needed as it all went like it should.

STAY AWAY from trying to format the micro_sd card on the device. I now have two corrupted cards, one salvagable and one ??? probably not. Accidentally erased back-up so at last formatting attempt device was soft bricked and wouldn't install anything bootable from twrp. Had to use Sigma Key to flash board software using test point to get factory mode because fastboot was not allowed. Don't try formatting sdcard.

Gapps & Play Store

So, before I realized what Aurora was for, I also flashed Gapps Pico - but none of the icons show up for them... not an issue, I've installed what I needed from Aurora or an apk export.

Here is what is strange - although I installed Apk Installer, when I go to install an apk I've downloaded from an email, Play Store is an option to install it! The Play Store icon, like the rest of the Gaaps icons from the pico install (except what I installed from Aurora) is missing!

Thoughts? I'd like to have the Play Store icon so I can run it....

SON OF A GUN - rebooted and the Play Store icon is back!

Curious if any of this module tinkering gave you a safetynet pass?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] tek3195:
Nah, hadn't checked 'til you asked. I don't have any need for it so never bother with it. According to https://gitlab.com/Nanolx/NanoDroid/blob/master/README.md#issues it is supposed to, once you get everything lined up.

from the readme:

SafetyNet

Note: microG's Droid Guard Helper is currently not able to perform SafetyNet Attestation.

SafetyNet check complain with Google Play Services are missing

see Google Play Services are missing above

SafetyNet check fails after upgrading Magisk to version 18.0

go to Magisk Manager > Magisk Hide and activate it for microG DroidGuard Helper

Applications crash during SafetyNet check

install microG DroidGuard Helper as user-app (required on some ROMs), as root, on-device, issue:

pm install -r /system/app/DroidGuard/DroidGuard.apk

this is done automatically in Magisk Mode (as of version 20.5)

Play Store

Play Store giving error RH-01

ensure you rebooted after microG setup

ensure Play Store has signature spoofing permission

go to Settings > Apps > Permissions > Signature Spoofing and grant it

force close Play Store and open it again

go to Settings > Apps > Play Store > Permissions and grant at least the Phone permission
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bejam:
Thanks very much. I don't have major need for safetynet but thought it would be good to be able to use banking apps... Although not until can lock the screen (with the magisk version) , which I understand is coming.

I'll give some of your tips a go when I do my next update.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] friedsonjm:
For some reason, both Gboard and Tor Browser are unable to update from Play Store, are looking for external storage. Given all the ways I've 'tricked out' the OS, with Magisk, microG, etc. I don't know if this is the 'fault' of the OS or an add-on.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] tek3195:
Got similar now with Gmail, had same external storage demand for some apps that do not require it last week. It's a combination of tweaks and OS. Been looking at a bunch of logs and it is having problems with storage from ------beginning of system. No Magisk= no storage for me so kinda had to use it and had problems with gapps installed also so don't think it is microG either. I think it just a matter of us asking too much from a ROM that we know isn't ready yet. When surdu_petru gets kernel done and everything else working like it's supposed to then we can start wringing it out. I'm just glad he has given us what he has, I couldn't use it with stock Huawei and had issues with greatslon's mod.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Indeed ... I also stopped to fix some issues on this ROM until the kernel will be properly updated because some of them are closely related to kernel :)
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] tek3195:
I didn't think to mention it before, but try installing or updating with root thru Aurora store.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] friedsonjm:
Well, that was interesting... did not work, and now my Play Store is gone again! Not a big deal....

Update 2020-06-13.zip - Questions

First off thank you Surdu Petru for all your hard work and adding my # to latest version so I can make calls again.

Second thank you to the wonderful guides by Surdu Petru and ericzollman that enabled a huge noob like me to install LineageOS-15.1-BEETHOVEN_2020-06-13.zip.

Lastly as a result of being a noob I have a couple questions I was hoping someone might know the answer too.

1. What is FPS? I can see one of the roms has this included but I am unable to work out what it does.

2. My fingerprint reader button does not work. It will not allow me to use as a button to navigate or as a finger print reader. Is this normal or have I messed something up during the install (Probably messed something up)

Thank you in advance.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Hi!

Thanks for your feedback.

FPS it's the fingerprint sensor.

You should install the version with FPS of LOS 15.1 if you want to use it. You can't use fingerprint navigation like on stock Emui because LOS don't provide this feature.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] geoffwdixon:
Thank you for explaining that... i really showed how much of a noob I am on that one....

I will install the one with FPS tomorrow when I'm more awake lol... thx again
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] infamous_black:
I just wanted to confirm that you can download and save to storage if you install exsdcard access enabler magisk module.

Can't wait for the future builds!
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] friedsonjm:
Go look at post #172 on 14 June for what you need to do to enable storage. I am able to use storage now. I also sideloaded Play Store, which seems to come and go. Some things won't update - Gboard among them, as they seem to call for 'external storage?!' Note, do NOT try to get an SD card working.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] tek3195:
SD Card should work no problem, you just cant format in device. If it says something is wrong with it or says it has to be formatted to use, stop. Remove the card and format it Fat32 in gparted or disks or ??? you want to use. The best is another android and format it for portable, eject it properly then you're good to go. When you re-insert card it should ask what you want to do. Choose portable and it should change to done, your card is ready for photos and portable media.

If it says needs formatting for portable use, don't do it. Take card out and try again with a diff method. Under no circumstance do you want to format. Roughly what I got from logs is it is combining and or interchanging mmcblk0 and mmcblk1. At one point it was identifying disk:179_192 as /dev/block/mmcblk0 and that simply doesn't work. When that happens it formats part of your internal sdcard instead of external causing a bit of a problem. When I tried to partition sdcard from root shell via adb using sm it caused me to have to use Sigma Key with test point to recover the brick once again.

So, you can use sd card for external storage. DO NOT FORMAT and DO NOT PARTITION the SDCard from within the device. You will regret if you do. We just have to be patient and wait on kernel, it'll be worth it.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thunderz1:
When updating from the 2020-05-24 build to 2020-06-13 is it acceptable to just flash the ROM and wipe dalvik/cache or should we do a full wipe? Thanks again for the wonderful work! Really brought new life to the tablet.

Kernel Test !

Hi !

Our kernel for LOS 15.1 grow up with almost 9000 new commits and I released a test version of this kernel.

If you use LOS 15.1 please do this update and let me to know your feedback after a few days of use.

I'm especially interested if you have any extra errors or if something doesn't work as before ... as it's too early to notice a visible improvement :)

Thanks in advance for your feedback !

Installations: Via TWRP install image and choose boot for flash or via bootloader mode : "fastboot flash boot boot_lte/wifi.img"

Kernel version : 4.2.0-rc4
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] friedsonjm:
OK, I've tried this two ways:

1. Just installed boot image over my current setup. Got stuck on 'Your device is booting now.'

2. To eliminate all potential conflicts, I wiped everything, formatted data, reinstalled ROM and nano-GAPPS, then flashed new boot image. Got stuck at 'Your device is booting now,' then eventually went to the Huawei recovery screen. Tried to boot again, stuck again on 'Your device is booting now.'

I'm using the non-FPS ROM.

thoughts?

[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Ok, you shouldn't wipe anything .... usually it should boot without any wipe.

Do you have WiFi version of M3, right ? as on LTE devices it should working properly ( already tested on BTV-DL09 ) .
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] friedsonjm:
Yes, I have the wifi version. Just to check, I downloaded the FPS version, wiped, and tried again. Same problem, ended up on EMUI screen. Anything else you want me to try?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Sorry, unfortunately nothing for the moment, I'll wait for other feedbacks from the WiFi devices .... but I think it's something to do with the kernel update and this is not a good sign ... in fact if the kernel it's not booted on your device ( even if it's boot on LTE devices ) it is a step back in the kernel upgrade process as I need a few days maybe more to check what's wrong and I don't have a WiFi device to be able to test/fix this issue very fast !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] friedsonjm:
Iwill test whatever you want! :) Not sure if any logs are created while its trying to boot, that I could send you?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thundercracker:
I have the WiFi only version and had a somewhat similar issue. I'm not sure why it helped, but I installed everything as a standalone.

For instance, I installed LOS and then rebooted to recovery. Then installed Gapps and rebooted to recovery. Then lastly installed the boot image and successfully booted. Make sure that Install TWRP if not present option is checked in TWRP.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Ok, thanks ... I was a bit worried because there is no reason that the new kernel to working on BTV-DL09 ( LTE models ) and not on BTV-W09 ( WiFi models )
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] friedsonjm:
Just tried the same, did not work for me. Did you use the brand new version of the boot image?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
You shouldn't complicate things in any way ... as this is a test kernel we don't need GApps to be installed on the first attempt , so just go to TWRP and on advanced wipe, wipe all apart external storage ( MicroSD card ) , reboot device once again in TWRP, perform a wipe to factory reset and install the last LOS 15.1 available into OP along with your boot.img for WiFi version ( also from OP ) !

Boot your device to LOS 15.1, and right now go again to TWRP and flash the new boot_wifi.img without any wipe . Now you can let me to know if your device boot or not on the LOS 15.1, Thanks !

This is the easiest way to test and will avoid unwanted issues related GApps or unwanted wipe :)
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] friedsonjm:
OK, did it just that way, except I don't have an external SD card in it, am using internal storage for files. Same problem, stuck on your device is booting now.

I can post the kernel log if you want it, will have to be in two posts as it is too many characters to fit in one post...
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Yes, you can send me /sys/fs/pstore content from TWRP .... but you need to let it booted with the new boot_wifi.img and then go direct to TWRP by keep pressing volume up button ( the USB cable should not be connected ). Thanks !

EDIT:

Yes, I guess you're right, there is a wifi issues on the last kernel update for both of them ( boot_lte.img & boot_wifi.img ) . With GApps installed I can't use wifi ( on LTE device ) as my device reboot instantly !

I'll try to fix this issue and I'll come back with a new test of kernel.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] friedsonjm:
Doing that, /sys/fs/pstore is empty. I do get kernel log and recovery log.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Please, has anyone tried the new boot_lte.img on BTV -DL09 ?

And also I need to know from more users with BTV-W09 if the new boot_wifi.img boot or no on their devices, Thanks !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] tek3195:
It booted on my w09 but trying to download boots to recovery.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Ok, thanks ... so, can you use your device with this new boot_wifi.img or not ?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] tek3195:
I honestly don't remember what happened but I had to wipe and re-flash everything. With a clean install it booted right up, but I couldn't download anything to complete setup. That was with Magisk installed from twrp didn't try without it. I've since re-flashed image from OP. Just finished a diff project so have time I can install again to give details and get you what you want, or wait till the next one, don't matter to me.

[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] friedsonjm:
WIFI - Installs and boots, sets-up OK with just ROM and boot image. Got a bootloop right after setting up wifi when I had installed pico GAPPS. Will try with GAPPS again. [NOTE: I always wipe and start with clean system with these trials.]

---------- Post added at 08:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 AM ----------

Just duplicated the problem - with FPS ROM, installing GAAPS it blows up when connecting to wifi.

UPDATE: I will try again with no-FPS ROM and see if that makes any difference.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] tek3195:
Flashed it dirty with fastboot. Booted quickly but did not have access to external_sd. My wallpaper changer pulls from external so had no home screen. Re-booted recovery and flashed Magisk in twrp without flashing any modules. Re-booted to system with external_sd support and when checked previous modules were still intact. Wifi was not working and when I tried to enable it it rebooted to recovery.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] friedsonjm:
Confirmed - with FPS or no-FPS ROM, if GAPPS (pico) is installed, can't get past the wifi setup.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
I had the same problem yesterday, when I was trying to connect to the wifi the device restarted ... but I changed something and today it seems to work well at least on LTE models !

Anyway, thank you very much for your feedbacks !

and the must flash or reset again the stting up my tablet again.

thats very bad.

no security .

now using my tablet witout security.

Thanks !!!
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] friedsonjm:
1. Are you using wifi or LTE model?

2. Are you installing GAAPS? Have you read recent posts?

3. Are you using FPS or non-FPS ROM?

Be aware that the developer is in the middle of working on the kernel, this is not yet a 'daily driver.'
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
I guess that you use the working Fps version of LOS with Magisk for root that's why you have this issue. If you want to use Magisk please use the non FPS version of LOS.

Unfortunately I did not save the TWRP device tree when I builded my TWRP because it's very easy to create one ... but I have the device tree for Nougat and you can easly create your TWRP tree from here, if you have a penchant for development .

Thanks, yeah I had just downloaded a device tree from your repo when you posted that. I guess I grabbed one for nougat, haven't looked yet. The main thing I was looking for was Boardconfig.mk or easy way of getting page sizes and addresses. I didn't want to do the math that I remember from the one time I made one from scratch. There should be no diff between nougat and oreo for boardconfig.mk unless I'm forgetting something is there ? Thanks for device tree , 'preciate it.

Just looked at it and should be perfect for me . I just need to trim about 80% of off. Thanks again

hope that is fixed in the future.

wipe all.

install los 15.1

boot into los 15.1

made any config and than

flash the the boot_lte.img to the boot partition and then boot to los 15.1.

made configs and connect to my wifi.

open www.yahoo.com and bang reboot to huawei erecovery.

go an reboot and boot los 15.1 again.

open browser and type www.yahoo.com and bang, reboot see above.
