[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] RobinGill:
Updated to Ranju's. Straight afterwards I've installed a few apps - opera, newsgater pro, flash and vijay555 (torch app).

Now I'm finding I can't stream 3gp from sites such as youtube. Also for some strange reason my device keeps setting the screen brightness level to 0. Happened a few times in very intense sunlight so I didn't care. Happened a few times at work which is annoying, but I won't be able to use my phone if it happens in the dark.

Only pattern I've noticed is that the phone seems to be doing it sometimes when turning it off powersave mode by holding the power or backlight button.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] RobinGill:
I think I've realised why 3gp downloads won't play - somehow my security certificates on my phone seem to be screwed - possibly as a result of getting down to around 200k of free memory. Time for a reflash it looks like.

Anyone got any ideas about the backlighting?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] yrsmart:
any way to get the certification back with out re-flash?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Tahmaseeb:
the backlight? well like u said... when u hold on the power butten for sometime the blacklight turns off....n if u hold on to it again then it will turn itself on again...

so u can say u have 2 option with the power butten

hold on to it then the backlight turns of n on

hold n release then it goes to power saver mode

hope that helps

Perhaps we can work with this?
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] JazonX:
Wonderful App, Unfortunately Huawei patched this vulnerability.

After 5 unsuccessful attempts, The Phone reboots itself to prevent the algorithm from working.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] borgqueenx:
We dont know if this is a security fix or not. Maybe with some luck its a bug that could be circumvented somehow.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xchatter:
There is a workaround for the reboots described in this pull request https://github.com/SkyEmie/huawei-honor-unlock-bootloader/pull/16

I don't know if it is merged, but the guy forked the repo and implemented it I think -> https://github.com/mschabhuettl/huawei-honor-unlock-bootloader
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] JazonX:
I've read through the commits, Looks like a possible solution _ But I'm not seeing any success stories yet.

Also, continuously rebooting your phone maybe over a 1000 times is not really a good idea.

Have you tried this on your device or waiting for someone else to take one for the team ?
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] borgqueenx:
I note that fastboot files are included in this methods. Is it even possible to get latest huawei phones to fastboot?
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xchatter:
Hi there,

I don't have any Huawei device right now. Only one P20 Pro for my wife but I unlocked it with a code back then.

I had a Mate 30 Pro but sold. Waiting for some stable google services solutions and I will buy again.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] colthekid:
Yes no problem at all.

ADB reboot bootloader works just fine, the usual white bootloader screen. No FRP lock though, which explains the "missing" switch in Developer Options.

Fastboot reboot, then reboots the phone as normal.

Didn't try any other commands.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] borgqueenx:
Just waiting to get my pro plus to try this. Anyone else?
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] GabiTM:
Any way to try it without erasing all the data? After hours of installing all the google apps it's not easy to just erase it.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] borgqueenx:
Unfortunately not. Although if all data is erased, it should have successfully completed its task and then you have a unlocked bootloader.

If no unlocked bootloader, your data should be kept on the device.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] JazonX:
Make a backup with HiSuite on PC : Which you can restore later if the operation is successful.

Your data will only be erased if the Bootloader gets unlocked. At the attempt / trying stage It won't trigger a data wipe.

If the bootloader does get unlocked, It will be a massive win which is totally worth doing the google installations again.

Maybe next time onwards you can use Titanium Backup to backup apps and data., Push the Google Apps from the system dump of P30 Pro EMUI 10 to the Mate 30 / P40 Pro devices to have Playstore certified GMS, Host level adblocking and many more life-saving solutions.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] GabiTM:
Sorry guys and gals but the script doen't work on P40 Pro.

Fastboot works and the script reboots the phone but commands like oem unlock and oem info don't work.

Any other ideas?
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] borgqueenx:
That is unfortunate. I dont think we can do more then. Will request a lock for this topic if no one else gives ideas this week.

Thanks for trying!
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] colthekid:
Huawei have probably taken away the unlocking option from the bootloader seeing as they don't support unlocking anymore.

There's no "FRP unlock" switch in Developer Options like on previous models (p10/20/30 etc) either which implies the same.

Shame, would have been nice to find a potential "backdoor" to unlock & root! With Magisk able to be installed, that would have solved all the Google/uncertified problems people are having.

The "Phone Finder" error message is interesting though, I assume you tried it with that disabled? I think iPhone's have a similar block... Maybe you can't unlock the handset with that turned on?
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] borgqueenx:
The chance to find a security engineer/hacker that wants to dedicate time into finding a exploit and unlocking without incentive other then getting media attention, is quite low.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] GabiTM:
Can we start a gofundme or something similar, money is a good incentive. :D
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] borgqueenx:
Nope, because this is a very well paid job.

It could start to be attractive if you also count the media attention at minimum 50k dollar.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Gatos7:
If I was in Huawei shoes I would just unlock the bootloader again. Don't see what they gain from keeping them locked, while on the same time unlocking then might boost new device sales a bit
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] marcel112:
Just like I thought...

The ban will cost them sure a lot sales off smartphones... And also aocked bootloader ?
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] larhius:
For all huawei guys accidentally reading this: Since you don't allow to unlock the bootloader I don't recommend buying a huawei device for any of my friends and anyone who asks about it I'll tell how ****ty your devices are. Whenever I have an opportunity to review the huawei device - it gets lowest rating I can give.

P.S. I'm an unlucky owner of huawei tablet which I bought just after they have stopped giving unloader keys. Came to this thread to figure out if anything has changed.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] colthekid:
The ban's been in place for nearly 2 years... It's cost them nothing... Sales are up! https://cdn.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/countagew.jpg

Thank you so much for your insightful criticism. Thankfully the vast majority of people are much more reasonable and buy a particular tablet/handset for other reasons than "can I unlock the bootloader & root it".

Perhaps you should have investigated the possibility before buying & stop blaming Huawei for your "****ty" mistake!

It is. Shut down your phone. Once it has fully turned off hold the volume down key for ~5 seconds. While still holding down the button, plug in your charging cable. Keep holding down the button until your phone turns on.

I can provide 2 IMEI numbers and their unlock codes, Do we have a way to decode the formula ?
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] M4rt1n94:
I think we may should create a open list with the IMEIs and the Unlock Code which belongs to them. IMEIs itself are not bounded to any personal data so this should not be a problem for anyone.

Then with the list everyone who wants can try to solve the riddle of how Unlock Codes are depending on the IMEI :)

If you gus agree I would host this list. But we should also know which device thei are for and other unpersonalised infos.

This doesn't even work on the Mate 20 Pro (2 year old phone) which has allow OEM unlock option in the developer settings. The P40 Pro doesn't have that option, so what made you guys think this would work on our phone???
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Nextasy:
So going by all these discussions here, it all comes down to one or two things:

- P40(series and beyond ) cannot be unlocked(bootloaderwise)

- it cannot be rooted too (talkless of having custom recovery)...

Jut got my P40 Pro 2day and i'm sending it back for another "user friendly" phone
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jericho246:
Huawei phones have been 'impossible' to unlock for quite some time now. Do more research when purchasing a phone next time.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Nextasy:
I did my research and it's not as if it is my first time of using Huawei device. I have been Samsung all the way until P10 came out and i used it for 2 years before switching back to Samsung.

Way back then Huawei devices could be unlocked and rooted (though not pretty easy) and same with Samsung until the S10 came out and the whole rooting and unlocking bootloader game changed. And then came John Wu with the Magisk root. Though it's no more easy to root the Sammy devices compared to pre S10 era it is still rootable. Thanks to John Wu. So my thought was and is , maybe, only maybe somebody would come up with a solution for Huawei, too. Hence my question.

Just don't like it when people here pretend to be wiser than they are really are when questions are asked by other members here. Remember, there is no STUPID question: Only stupid answers!!

Just my thought....

[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] galaxy6220:
Not sure he it's the same, but with the curtana version - Swipe taskbar down, then down to expand again and swipe left. 'Edit' is the last button.

Unfortunately my Redmi Note 9S doesn't have NFC. I too was pretty disappointed after leading to believe it did have it after reading many misleading reviews on different websites. Is is still a brilliant phone though.

I will update if the problem is solved then.

Thank you for help.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] Uzair Aziz Suria:
This problem has got something to do with dissimilarity between AOSP quick settings edit icon and MIUI quick settings edit tile. If you are coming from an AOSP based rom, and recover backup from cloud, quick settings backup does not have a backup of edit tile, and MIUI does not have the edit icon, so you end up having neither of them.

Best solution I could find was to setup adb on your pc and pass the following command:

adb shell settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles default

For Android handsets and tablets running Android 5.0 Lollipop or newer, you can navigate straight to the “Security” menu under settings. Getting here might be slightly different depending on your OEM, but with stock Android, this can be found under Settings > Personal > Security.

Here you should see an option to “Encrypt phone” or “Encrypt tablet”. You’ll be asked to plug your phone in to charge while the process takes place, just to make sure that your phone doesn’t shut off and cause errors. If you haven’t done so already, you will be prompted to set a lock screen PIN or password, which you will need to enter when you turn your phone on or unlock it in order to access your newly encrypted files. Be sure to remember this password!

Hi there,

I don't know if some of you already had Sony-Ericsson phones, but there is a useful feature on them (which must also exist for other brands): when you plug your headphones in the phone, it switches to "headphones" sound profile.

When unplugging them, the sound profile goes back to the state it was before plugging-in.

Is there a way, on Windows Mobile, and thus for Diamond, to do such a thing? Or, at least, to switch to "silent" mode when unplugging the headphones cable?

Thanks for your answers!

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] NephilimHoss:
Following a guide to flash a custom ROM, I followed these steps after flashing TWRP:

- Go to main menu, then tap Wipe.

- Now tap Format Data and continue with the formatting process. This will remove encryption as well as delete all files stored on the internal storage.

- Return to the previous menu and tap Advanced Wipe.

- Select the Cache and System partitions to be wiped and then Swipe to Wipe.

- Sideload the /e/ .zip package:

- On the device, select “Advanced”, “ADB Sideload”, then swipe to begin sideload.

- On the host machine, sideload the package using: 'adb sideload filename.zip'

This process was unsuccessful, and now I am stuck in a bootloop, unable to access TWRP.

Tried the MSM tool but I get "Image does not match".

Not sure how to proceed. Any advice? I only have a few days to get this solved before I lose 300 bucks.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] protonic_1:
Hi all,

I'm wondering whether it is possible in some way to unlock additional NR bands on the S20. As far as I understand the Snapdragon 865 chipset, it comes as a fully-fledged 5G mobile platform which can be used in all countries and which supports all possible NR frequencies/bands.

So, it seems to me, that Samsung just locks off the majority of bands in the different models (for example, I got the G9810 and like to use it overall in Europe. However, Samsung only delivers the bands N1 and N78 but not e.g. N28).

Would be great if anybody could give me a hint about this.

Hello !

I recently have an accident with my Samsung Galaxy J5 2017 (SM-J530) and now the screen is totally broken, he stay black.

But I think the phone is always working , because it vibrate when I force reboot with power and volume down buttons.

I would like to recover my datas because i didnt save them with my google and Samsung accounts.

I know that the USB debugging is enable and probably OEM unlock (not really sure, don't remember).

I tested ADB commands and the device is detected but unauthorized because I can't allow acces on the screen.

My phone is also detected by Odin in download mode and I know that we can use ADB in custom recovery like TWRP but to install it permanantly and see internal storage we need to do a format data.

If someone have a solution and can help me,
