Hi guys,

just getting report regarding huawei P8 Lite Alice 21, codename ALE L21, 2015 hw release

so firstly to unlock the bootloader, dont pay for it, use potatoNV, and dont forget to add those steps (under linux) :

fastboot oem backdoor set 1

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot oem lock-state info

fastboot oem get-bootinfo

fastboot oem get-lockstate

In case of further issues with bootloader unlocking, just know that you can get in touch with the potatonv dev on the corrseponding telegram support channel, he might be back to you if you have a serious feedback. Github (or the other plateform I never remember) works too, to show your problems with huawei models.

as Im experiencing the LineageOS 14 release, Andro 7.1.2 20210711 (marty/darkjoker), I report the following :

A/ wifi problems : sometimes, when I airplane mode or just turn off wifi, it's just impossible to get it on again, I have to completely restart the phone. I don't do anything specific, except Im out of rang or just turn it off from menu or airplane mode. But very often it can't be turned on back if I don't reboot the phone

B/ power, restart..

1 of 10 attempts of just shutdown the phone by using the button then menu works. 9 of 10 attemps it's ust shows the "shutting down" screen forever, last time it took 2 hours of "shutting down" but did not. Had to salvage restart it by holding ten seconds the power button.

Btw, if the P8Lite running LOS14 is plugged in USB, just know that it cant stay powered of for a long times, after ten minutes lineageos just power on automatically, even if you dont touch the phone ;)

Btw the only way to poweroff the phone is to restart it (powerof button almost never works), then at encryption-unlocking code screen to power it off normally, but if you let it on the usb cable it will automatically poweron back after a while.

C/ unlock screen problems :

sometimes when the phone is on and locked, I just try to enter my PIN. numbers works. Then to validate. Then it freeze. Then it's very funny to see that it's doing nothing anymore, that only emergency button and dialpad for unlocking works but not the validate code button one : and even if the button of number works, it doesnt mark them on the PIN code field! As for the wifi problem, the only way to solve this looks like to poweroff and reboot the phone..

D/ just see few days ago the camera works, front and rear, but can't record videos..

In addition, just know I use on daily life twilight to get my eyes in a better way..dunno if it can cause issues.

ps: does this one is ready/working for P8Lite2015?

Did you manage to fix this?
[P8lite General] lm8lm8:
absolutely not, however I do :

either I enter two or three wrong passwords firstly, then the right one

or I just salvage reboot

but the first one is a right one, cause when it happens keyboard is totally passive

Which is much better? Performance? Gaming? Battery?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] OakaO:
With the new update, miui global 12.5.8, the system no longer allows gestures AND third party launchers and forces default launcher to the system launcher if gesture navigation is selected. 3rd party launchers work with button navigation, and FGN. However, with 3rd party and FNG the navigation buttons persist. Is there anyway around this (i.e. 3rd party launcher with gesture navigation without navigation buttons persisting).

I have tried disabling the miui system launcher through adb, but it doesn't seem to work, launcher is still running.

Selecting the default launcher as system launcher, selecting gesture navigation and then launching 3rd party launcher and FNG gets the desired outcome, however the system launcher is still running/ selected as default (gesture for home button swaps back to system launcher - can remap home gesture to open 3rd party launcher as a work around for the home button).

Thanks,
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] OakaO:
Found a solution, but doesn't stick with power cycle:

adb shell settings put global force_fsg_nav_bar 1
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] kenny.lam:
Hey thanks mate, I try this and it looks successful, but can not keep when we reboot, any solutions for that bro, I also report issue to Xiaomi / Nova as well, is this Android 11's issue ?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] brontolo999:
Dears

I'm experiencing the same issue as OakaO with MIUI 12.5.8: cannot even set gestures if a 3-party launcher is being in use.

I've read this interesting thread https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/third-party-launcher-gestures.62948/ and tried the two solutions described there.

They works but have some side effects.

First solution:

The usage of the LADB app with the command settings put global force_fsg_nav_bar 1 works but has the side effect that you lose any theme status bar you may have configured: the status bar gets back to the one of the stock theme.

In addition it seems to not be resilient to reboot so after any reboot you have to enable ADB stuff and so on (for security reason, I prefer to not have them always enabled)

(I don't like that so I skipped this solution)

Second solution:

the usage of the adb command adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural works too but (as stated in the thread) it has the side effect that you still see the gesture bar (which reduces also the screen size) but you totally lose the bottom gestures (even if you use Fluid Navigation Gestures app)

(I don't like that so I skipped this solution too)

At the end..... I lose the game :( and I'm using now my 3-party launcher with 3 navigation buttons which gives me a really ugly effect especially because I use also klwp theme and the 3 buttons are really bad.

After that I wrote on MI community (here the thread https://c.mi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=3943484&page=1&extra=#pid20869921 ).

I'm still waiting for a further feedback but I'm worried that this behaviour is not a bug but a clear choice or strategy from Xiaomi.

Let's see what will happen.

bye
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Zibri:
I don't want the nav bar but the software buttons.. the problem is that they are white and autohide does not work in most apps.

any solution?

Hello friends I just received an OTA update through Oxygen OS updater ...in app it was mentioned that rooted device have to download full stable not incremental updates but the version of update shows 11.0.8.8 should I install directly or should I flash through twrp...or should I ignore...?? My current version is 11.0.8.8
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] dlads:
I would wait for the full update.

Guessing you're in the EU.

The update is just security for October nothing more.

PS: to update perform the following.

1. Download full update via Oxy updater

2. Install it but do not reboot

3. Open Magisk and select install after OTA

4. Take reboot

Done.

Afterwards if the update for some reason has written over TWRP (shouldn't have) then just remove the module and reinstall the Magisk/TWRP module and you're done

Where can I download the updated zip bro? Should I remove the module first or can I flash on top of the existing one?
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Lycidias:
Just edited my post with the link because XDA upload failed. You can just flash on top :-)
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Lycidias:

[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] jackreaper:
Thank you ....is it necessary to update security ? And will it remove my rooted status..... I am in India...and sir the third step what should I install from magisk...thank you again.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] dlads:
No worries, if you open up Magisk you'll see two install buttons, click the top one then you'll see four options. The bottom one is install after OTA.

That's step 3.

And no you won't lose root but you have to use the full update not an incremental.

I'm not going to bother as it's not necessary for me
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] jackreaper:
Ok sir thanks a lot....I used to see how to install things through magisk but never knew how ....now I know it..
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] dlads:
No worries man, use the like button btw 👍

Also the install button there isn't for apps or modules it's just for root.

To install modules it's the bottom right button
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Extreme_Ninja2099:
Hi,

I'll be getting my OP8 Pro tomorrow, does it restore a OOS 11 TWRP backup properly and is the windows 10 disable signature enforcement needed? I'm coming from my OP6T device and some ROM, twrp, rooting experience but only for that device. Idk if it's going to be the same for twrp for the 8 Pro
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] dlads:
Twrp is now functional to a point it'll be completely familiar to you, so coming from a 6T you won't see any difference on the surface.

Not too sure about signature as I haven't had to deal with that so I would assume not.

As for root I have a guide you can use to boot / flash images, you can find this in the guides section, or just copy over Magisk and flash in TWRP.

I haven't done a back up/restore as yet but I'm assured that it does work.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Extreme_Ninja2099:
Thanks. Will this version of twrp work on custom ROMs too? Can I flash magisk.zip file with this version of TWRP? I hope so, as my OP8 Pro would literally work the same way as my OP6T, but instead of booting .img file + flash the .zip file for TWRP is just flash the .img file via fastboot mode (just like back in my op3 days). Obvs I'll have to install the custom ROMs not via twrp (.zip files), but flash twrp afterwards. I'll test the backup/restore function when I get my OP8 pro on OOS 11.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] dlads:
You don't need to boot and flash.

To root you boot the image in fastboot then direct install via Magisk manager

Or

Flash Magisk.Zip via twrp

Not both.

People have already tested fishing custom ROMs via this twrp and it's been fine.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Extreme_Ninja2099:
I'm not gonna do the boot img way and do the classic install of the magisk.zip file instead. I know not to do both! Thank you so much! I'll let u know if the twrp backup/restore works for OOS. It probs won't work for the custom ROM, but I'll try
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] dlads:
There's a button for thanks pal ;)

No worries, if you get stuck let us know we'll help you out.

And yes let us know how the back up/restore goes, more info the better.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] AlDollaz:
Yes, please do. There are conflicting reports in this thread on whether restore works as it should.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Docomoco:
This is probably a noob question but I wanna make sure.....

This is only for A11, right?

I am currently on A10, rooted, Magisk and twrp-3.4.0-14-instantnoodle-unified-mauronofrio installed.

So first I would need to update to A11, then root with Magisk, then install this via Magic or flash it with flashboot.

Am I correct?

Thanks.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Revenant Ghost:
That's why I'm still on the fence about installing this.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] jackreaper:
Hello Friends ,

Does TWRP have factory reset options?

Will factory reset wipe my root and TWRP ?

How to perform it ?

Tanks a lot for the guidance
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] kitcostantino:
I'm no expert, but my *theory* would be put full update, Magisk.apk , and new TWRP on internal storage then install new TWRP from old TWRP, flash update, flash magisk.

But again, this is only my conjecture, not a proven thing from my end. Someone out there likely has done exactly that. It's what I would have done if I had gone back to android 10 more recently, then seen the new TWRP that works on a11.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Unn113:
I would rather flash a11 as should be, from stock update app, then flash twrp via fastboot, then flash magisk from recovery
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] kitcostantino:
Honestly, no matter how one does such, it's a good idea to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. (Backup entire internal storage, etc). I also wouldn't bank on a backup from one TWRP restoring to another.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Unn113:
In this case android 10 data is incompatible with a11, so I would back up my data to pc manually
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Extreme_Ninja2099:
For backup/restore, I'm gonna follow mauronofrio's method (For the Backups use always "system_image" and "vendor_image" instead of "system" and "vendor".).

This always worked for me on the OP6T and OP3. So it should be the same for my OP8 Pro
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Mchlbenner51:
I did restore it was custom to custom and to reformat to get it to boot.

Make sure you back up your data on the computer.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Extreme_Ninja2099:
Someone online suggested to backup my persist and imei partition. I found my persist, but which one is for imei? Is it (metadata, or boot or DTBO or EFS or Modem or recovery or VBMeta)? I'm not sure which partition is for imei on the OP Pro

Update: it was EFS. For the TWRP backup, the partitions are different. But I chose boot, data, and the system/vendor for the twrp backup. let's see how the restore goes...
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] AlDollaz:
Good luck! Are you using OOS?
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] rodken:
Please share the steps - as a lot of folks are waiting for the 'green light' on the restore function because just having 1 or 2 people give the thumbs up is not really reassuring.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Mchlbenner51:
I backup internal data restored data and boot.

It got boot loop so I reformated and it booted up.

I don't believe Oss would work.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Extreme_Ninja2099:
This is for OOS... Ok after bricking it and trying restore via fastboot ROMs form Mauronofrio (they don't work). I managed to save my 8 pro with the fastboot rom installer and using the OOS payload.bin. Ok I'm now gonna restore the TWRP backup I made for OOS and let's see
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] Extreme_Ninja2099:
I have found a weird issue. Restoring partitions for twrp backup doesn't work for OOS 11.0.8.8? It can't find the partitions... Idk why. Also transferring the files are having a issue transferring them on to my device
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] AlDollaz:
Well, that's disappointing.
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] BillGoss:
1. What exactly were the partitions you backed up?

2. Also what was your process to restore the backup?
[OnePlus 8 / 8 Pro & 8T Cross Device Development] dlads:
IMEI is efs mate...I had the commands somewhere from the OnePlus 5.

Back up

--------------

Says to do this in TWRP in the advanced terminal? Not sure about that, I'd try fastboot tbh.

Press enter after each command:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/sdcard/modemst1.bin bs=512

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/sdcard/modemst2.bin bs=512

Restore

Copy both modemst1.bin & modemst2.bin files to your PC.

In Fastboot:

fastboot flash modemst1 modemst1.bin

fastboot flash modemst2 modemst2.bin

This shouldn't matter if the Nand back up is actually working. All partitions will be backed up
