[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Goldendawn:
Hi,

I have seen this posted a number of times and people keep saying "just Google" or "look at other threads" however I am confused as to what they mean because none of the stuff around seems valid anymore in 2021.

Right now:

There is no modern up to day process to unlock the bootloader that I can find in Google (even if only looking at the last 1 months sites)

I have found so far is telling me to get an unlock bootloader from Huawei which I can't do (they don't offer it any more)

I have found sites telling me to pay for the bootloader code from funkyhuawei, site that no longer offers them, someone posted about "Direct unlock with no code" but didn't go into details on how that is done, and then I found this on rootmygalaxy:

" Update 2021: All the bootloader unlocking methods have been blocked by Huawei. So none of the methods is working currently. Don’t try to unlock Huawei or Honor devices as of now. For full timeline of events read the story below. We will be updating the post once there is a valid way available. "

So, is that basically meaning that Huawei P20 cannot be unlocked; therefore you cannot root it? If it can be unlocked still can someone, please post a link to how because Google is failing to find anything that is, in fact, working or the information being shared isn't clear enough to explain what is possible.

I am trying to just get information as to if I am wasting my time trying to root this phone, or if it is, in fact, possible or not.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Goldendawn:
BTW - I have seen {Mod edit} however this only works on EMU 9 or lower. If you are EMU 10 you have to roll back, but it appears Huawei have prevented this (hiSuite doesn't offer the options any more).
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Goldendawn:
Okay, this has been fixed - so I am doing the roll-back now. If that works, I will try the URL included in the port above and then report back, so if people want to know what is possible.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Goldendawn:
Okay ... um.... they need to remote onto your computer and do it.... that is totally unacceptable.

So basically, there is no way that I can see that allows "ME" to unlock the bootloader, and instead you are allowing people to access your computer, so they can do it.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorgekc:
Hello. I have a Samsung Tab4 SM-T531 10 tablet that had been corrupting some app and even the android itself. I sometimes had to reinstall the manufacturer's firmware. In the middle of the night, he simply died. It doesn't turn on or ascend anything or with angry prayers. I changed the battery and nothing. I managed to make Rwindows recognize QHSUSB_BULK which is a QUALCOMM driver and that's how I managed to make a brief contact. Win 7 and XP now recognize this driver. Is there any way to revive this device via SERIAL? I appreciate any information in order to recover my tablet. Best regards, Jorge K.C.

Olá. Tenho um tablet Samsung Tab4 SM-T531 10 que vinha corrompendo alguns app e ate mesmo o proprio android. Algumas vezes tive que reinstalar o firmware do fabricante. No meio da madrugada, simplesmente morreu. Nao liga nem ascende nada nem com reza braba. Troquei a bateria e nada. Consegui fazer o Rwindows reconhecer o QHSUSB_BULK que é um driver da QUALCOMM e so assim consegui fazer um breve contato. Win 7 e Xp reconhecem agora esse driver. Tem alguma forma de reviver este dispositivo via SERIAL? Agradeço qualquer informacao no sentido de recuperar o meu tablet. Best regards, Jorge K. C.

Its been a while since some users of this phone ran to this problem. But in the end there's a way to fix it...

How:

Unlocking factory mode and correcting proximity sensor.

Go throught this:

Dial *#06# to open up the IMEI information screen on your OnePlus device. Then, long press on the IMEI 1 field to copy it.

Open the unlock code generator by clicking on this link and paste the IMEI in the blank field.

Select Unlock for 10 Minutes.

Press “CONVERT” to get the unlock code.

Dial *#*#5646#*#* on your phone. You should see a screen that prompts you to scan a QR code. Press the back button so that you can access the code input field.

Enter the unlock code in the field and press the “OK” button.

​

If everything goes right, you should see the following screen:​

​

Voila! Now you can access Factory Mode by dialing *#808# or *#36446337#.

Trought the FactoryMode:

When FactoryMode window pops-up you will be in Assembly test projects scroll right to: Device debug. You should see the following screen

​

Go to Proximity Sensor Test

​

Check For yourself the infrared proximity test

Mine was crazy and kept stuck in near after I put my hand over.

If you got to here its time to do the calibration.

BE AWARE TO REMOVE THE CASE AND CLEAN THE SURFACE NEAR THE FRONT SPEAKER

Get yourself a white paper or a whitemask (Yeah i've done this way lol) and go near to a window for nice illumination, not too bright nor poor light. Just what you can get near a window in a cloudy day.​

Put the phone on a flat surface​

Do as the calibration test say and put the paper/mask over the speaker of the phone above 5 cms. and Check.​

Go to test, try covering/uncovering with your hand over 5 cms and you should find yourself with something like this, if not try calibrating again:​

Hi! I don't know if you are still following this Post.... In my OP 9RT I cannot go into Factory Mode, the code is not working. I got the device specific code from the Link provided with my IEMI , but the *#*#5646#*#* isn't working!

Any work around possible , please?
[Google Pixel 5a] thx1200:
Does there exist an app locker that fully works with Android 11? By "app locker" I mean an app that presents a lock screen on a per-app basis. (Fingerprint support is also good!)

Every one I've tried in Play Store fails to lock the settings, which means it's trivial to bypass by simply uninstalling (and deactivating admin for those that go at least that extra step). Note: I'm not asking for a hacker-proof locker app, just one that is not trivial to bypass for the average or moderately above average user. I do also have a proper lock screen and remote wipe enabled for deeper protection. My use case is just more of a extra bit of protection for if somebody picks up my phone while it is unlocked unattended - just the extra protection so it's not so easy to see email or messages, etc.

I had a OnePlus before getting my Pixel 5A and OxygenOS has such an app lock feature. Again, it wasn't hacker-proof, but it was also not trivial to bypass.

Root/Magisk/XPosed module suggestions are okay for me.
[Google Pixel 5a] Kalel88:
I really am looking into this right now, I need it too!
[Google Pixel 5a] thx1200:
I found a good one. I tried a lot of different ways to bypass it, but it consistently works. Now, of course, as anybody will tell you, since it runs as a user app, there are ways to kill it (via ADB etc) so it's important to still have device-level security. This is just a defense-in-depth measure, such as when somebody is borrowing your phone or you left it unlocked unattended and want to slow down an adversary.

Please check the video attached herewith for reference.

Your hindi keyboard is not behaving as it should.

I have reporteď this issue many times but samsung always send precreated reply for every issue. Every time, samsung have a single solution and that is reset your phone.

This is the simple request and almost every keyboard in the market have this feature but samsung keyboard is a mess for typing in hindi.

Hey everyone! I'm Lance but online I am Revampedsun89. The Username came from my 1st Xbox360. I went through all the offline consoles until that day booting up one of the new releases with online play 🤭🤭 Gotta play online of course, check this "live" play, and that will need an account. I'm awful at naming things 😕 my 1st cat was Tigger and my 2nd was kitty 😑 so you see my dilemma. Fortunately they had an option to generate a random name and so I became Revampedsun89 FOR LIFE.

On that note I've been an entry level modder for most of my Android/pc life. Heck, I started on MySpace. Soo nothing serious, mostly offline apks or making paid content available for free. Lately I've tried doing some mods on my Galaxy s20, tried modding my games on my new HP Omen Gaming PC. This used to be a whole lot easier. 🤣 well here I am trying to be involved again, see if it's even worth it opening these doors again.

[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Elihu_GmG:
Works on LM-G820QM5?, I have bootloader unlocked
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SirOlive:
Yep, it's basically the unlocking/root process only you're formatting/flashing the "system" partition instead of "boot_a/b"
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
Great info, thnx for the write up. But what about the totc.cfg file? My understanding is no G8 is going to boot if there's a mis-match between that file and the hardware indication of what variant the phone is?

Sorry if my understanding is misguided, new to the G8 (and all it's idiosyncrasies).
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SirOlive:
In this case there is no tot file, no recovery, laf, or the like. GSI's are generic system images that are capable of being flashed to most Treble-Enabled Androids from Oreo on up. You do lose some of the device specific things (hence, generic), but they're a great alternative if you're like us and stuck with next to no custom anything built for your device. There's a whole forum for them on here, I highly suggest checking it out- it's a pretty awesome option to have.
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
Great, thnx, sorry for being a jerk but, this does work on a G8? Tested and proven? I ask because it's my understanding that without a match between the hardware encoded variant of the device and what's in the totc file, it won't boot.

you say there is no totc? then how does the hardware encoding get verified? See, that's why there are no custom roms. LG did this to keep people from crossflashing and it killed rom development.

Hey, if I'm wrong, feel free to point that out. But as far as I've discovered so far, a GSI doesn't get a free pass to bypass this mess LG has created with this mis-match hw / totc file.

cheers
[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SirOlive:
Sorry for being short, but a simple Google search would back up everything I've written. I wouldn't have written this up if it didn't work, or if it was just a theory... I wouldn't have said that my Verizon G8 is running Havoc if it didn't work. I was able to flash with zero problems. With the Treble Project, Google has mandated that Android devices boxed with 11+ (possibly 10?) be capable of not only recognizing, but running GSIs as to assist developers in testing apps and builds in varying versions of Android as quickly, easily, and simply as possible. This means that not only can one download and flash Android releases downloaded directly from Google, but devs can use the source code to create versions of their ROMs that will apply to a wide array of models that would never have seen development otherwise. Because these are "generic" images and are based upon system architecture type alone- not a particular make/model- there are sometimes things overlooked. For instance, in our case, the audio processing and LG's camera software are not present. These are decently made up for by the presence of flashable mods, though, and the phone remains fully functional, Google Play Certified (if desired), and as reliable as the ROM you choose to flash.

Basically, Google>LG. LG wants to use the Android platform, they must abide by Google's rules. They need not go into great detail, nor allow their devices to be changed to something fundamentally non-LG, nor divulge any potentially propitiatory subject matter (once again, "generic"), but they must allow the device to be open to a certain level of customization as designated by Google.

Is it ideal? Not if you're lucky enough to have ROMs tailored for your specific phone. But for those left behind- like the G8- it's a fantastic workaround that does, in fact, work. As I'm sure you're still skeptical, I will add screenshots tomorrow to prove the validity of this seemingly ludicrous claim. In the meantime, please do some research on the topic- or better yet, give it a shot- there's gotta be a guide around here somewhere.

Dude, I have no knowledge of G8, per se. My main goal was to get away from Sprint software on my v450pm. These phones are a little touchy. I do know that if you have a proven RESTORE method then you can mess around.. If you're Qfil_ing your phone you MUST have a backup of EVERY damn partition. I trashed my ftm partition and it was bad. Use telegram group for very good info. I have yet to be able to logon to Google Fi, an mnvo of Tmob. I've crossflashed to Eu A11, no go.
