I did it, I think the new PotatoNV (v2.2.1) unlocks the system in a different way than the one from 2 years ago (v2.0.0)... or it was the downgrading to 8.0.0.126...or it was my own backed oeminfo but I doubt it.

The thing is that the firmware version from OP's AGS2C008 zip is 8.0.0.258 which is different form the one we were trying to flash from OP's dload method which is 8.0.0.125.

Anyway, it was quite of a journey: after flashing my own oeminfo and sending 8.0.0.125(C00) through EMUI Flasher, it failed at 67% like before but this time I had lost touch input to recoveries so wipe data if you can (cannot write YES to proceed, Vol UP and Vol DN did not move cursor to keyboard). Not even in TWRP the touch did not worked. Then I've flashed AGS2C008, do not remember if wiped data, but it booted into C00, touch was ok both in OS and recoveries afterwards.

It upgraded to 9.0.0.131 and now is upgrading to 9.0.0.146. I could not send Harmony OS directly from HiSuite (group version error). I am also using my own oeminfo now.

Awesome, thanks!
[Huawei MediaPad T5 Guides, News, & Discussion] denzelcris:
As a side note on the black screen some are facing:

[moved here]

It upgraded to HarmonyOS latest version 2.0.0.230 for now.

Installed YouTube app and it says that it won't run because Google Play Services are not supported for this device. Any fix for this?... or just use website with brave

Also please add Huawei Wallet and Huawei Assistant on the debloat list.

Netflix and Prime Video both run fine with HD resolution.

Edit:

YouTube Music oddly works but you have to freeze MicroG installed by Magisk, sign into YTM and then unfreeze MicroG.

Thanks!

Hi there, I know its been a while, but I wonder how you rooted LineageOS 18?

I flashed my Mediapad T5 with TWRP from https://sourceforge.net/projects/da...ts/files/Huawei/P8 Lite 2017/Android-11/TWRP/

then installed LineageOS lineage-18.1-20220523-UNOFFICIAL-prague.img.xz from https://sourceforge.net/projects/da...les/Huawei/P8 Lite 2017/Android-11/LineageOS/

last I installed https://github.com/Magisk-Phh/Releases/blob/master/Magisk-v20.4-phh.zip via TWRP and it shows patch boot image success

but after this my tab won't boot, lucky I made backup of my ramdisk image so I can restore and boot the tab again to unroot LinageOS18

I believe you have to be rooted to install EMUI flahser right?

Thanks

Thank you 😃

My tablet is eea variant,

AGS2-W09 C431 region code.​

And I can only install this

FILES FOR AGS2-W09 & W19

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=14655340768118449355

But system.img is unflashable, parse error, I can only flash the modified system image found on Mediapad T5 Support telegram group.

But if I try to update it to android 9 PIE then error comes about failed update, chienese language

.
[Huawei MediaPad T5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jc700:
That's very strange because i did all steps from this post and that worked for me
[Huawei MediaPad T5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jc700:
I've just remembered that after flashing this rom once, i couldn't flash it again because when i tried to flash system.img, It failed.
[Huawei MediaPad T5 Guides, News, & Discussion] denzelcris:
Something odd happened: the tablet unrooted itself ... perhaps through a software upgrade but HarmonyOS version is the same as before (2.0.0.230)

I need to remember how to reinstall Magisk ... 😡

as for:

I think I have installed a special Magisk variant through TWRP for that custom rom, it may have been "Magisk-v23-Canary-phh-Aonly-A11" (cant't remember from where I've got it, perhaps from that telegram group or some other post)
[Huawei MediaPad T5 Guides, News, & Discussion] denzelcris:
I've tried reflashing through fastboot my old patched recovery_ramdisk from a year ago, but no luck. I have then tried installing the latest Magisk v25.2, repatching recovery_ramdisk for 2.0.0.230, reflashing and ... still nothing, Magisk says not installed after rebooting.

What is happening?

[update] got back root, had to boot into recovery first with PWR + VOL UP
[Huawei MediaPad T5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mattyb_uk:
Hey folks - managed to root and unfortunately didn't follow the instructions to the letter so didn't backup the oeminfo - tried flashing the newer rom but it won't let me install the system.img.

Anyone have any ideas or an oeminfo file for the global mediapad t5 they would be okay to share? thanks

ignore that! found the oemfile.

@denzelcris - would you be able to detail the steps you took and the files you used in one post to do this? I'm having a hard time following which files I need to download.
[Huawei MediaPad T5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mattyb_uk:
Update - have managed to install the china DL rom using TWRP. I just flashed using the system_update.zip.

It booted but wouldn't update using the EMUI interface.

I have booted into fastboot and flashed the AGS2008.1 update manually - I started with the VENDOR.img file first and it's successfully installed and it's now updating to HarmonyOS

I have Huawei Mediapad T5 AGS2-W09 EU device. How can I unlock bootloader without dissembling the device? Because I'm afraid of breaking the screen.
[Huawei MediaPad T5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mattyb_uk:
There's a couple of unlock services online that will do it but you need to pay. You just need a razor blade or sharp pick to be honest. the screen is mounted on a plastic bracket. it just pops off but you need to prise it apart from below.
[Huawei MediaPad T5 Guides, News, & Discussion] shezza1:
Hi,

I noticed a few people having isues with loading the image and given this I am a bit reluctant to try. I notice the guy that wrote the tutorial had build 8.0.0.0.360 and others with issues had 8.0.0.0.371. Has anyone actually got a AGS2-W09 with build 8.0.0.0.371 to work? If not, do you think if I downgrade to 8.0.0.0.360 it will succeed? If I can downgrade where would I go about getting the image from?

Ideally, someone will confirm a successful upgrade from 8.0.0.0.371 unsing the files in the tutorial but given others with this build have had issuse thought i'd ask.

Thanks,

Sheeza1
[Huawei MediaPad T5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mattyb_uk:
Yep. I upgraded from 371. Honestly don't bother. It runs like lard on the T5. Probably best to root and go for lineage or look at removing the bloat from EMUI 8
[Huawei MediaPad T5 Guides, News, & Discussion] shezza1:
Interesting, thanks for the info. I thought the EMUI 8 was laggy and was hoping android 9 mght be quicker. What version of lineage works best, 18.1 or earlier versions?

[Huawei MediaPad T5 Guides, News, & Discussion] schrabikus:
AGS2-L09 with Emui 8.0.0

Flashed oeminfo and chinese firmware files, cleared data from recovery and boot into system.

Now it shows AGS2-AL00 8.0.0.215(C00) in system info, and no OTA updates. Updating from HiSuite not working (Firms are not approved for installation) ant there's a total mess with firmware version numbers...

WIKI PAGE ABOUT DRIVER DEVELOPMENT FOR MSM720X DEVICES

==========================================================

image courtesy of tsalta. Thanks mate.

Also, try GFXboost. It's cool to see the device CAN go beyond the normal speeds.

Installation: Disable Manila or Titanium before installing the cabfile. It's to make sure there are no files in use when copying the files. If you have an older version of the driverpack installed, best thing to do is a hard-reset. I know, it sucks. But believe me, it's best for your device.

MOD EDIT - Added NeoS, Magnif, Chainfire & topaz driver cabs
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] asci:
Please don't let me go crazy with that results...So do you mean it's poor in graphic performance???
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] NeoS:
It's... Average at best. Same as the Diamond and Pro. For now. I'm gonna try and see what i can do to improve it. And i hope some others will aid me in that. ;)

I already got the lights working with Hardware rendering now, but that's too easy. Gonna do some SPB benches...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] maqui01:
is it a huge different talking about the screen?? I mean, watching a movie or something is totally different or it's kinda the same?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] danny_and_2:
What about trying VSBenchmark ( Link to vsBenchmark )
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] NeoS:
hmm. VSbenchmark won't run. No errors, but it just hangs.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] NeoS:
Found an interesting registry setting:

HKLM\software\HTC\VelocityEngine\3D\Enable=0

I set it to 1. I don't see any big improvements or whatever. yet...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] JanSchotsmans:
From what I've been reading HTC shipped the HD with the MS reference driver for the graphics.

Once the rom cookers get cracking I'm sure the driver update will be part of that.

With the Touch Cruise/Polaris, this made a gigantic difference in graphics performance and smoothnes of the interface.

I don't really get why the heck HTC won't install up to date and up to snuff drivers in new devices. It bites.

With a big screen like the HD, you need good graphics drivers.

I do have to say though that the performance of the HD is rather good compared to other HTC devices in the office. Especially for first release level firmwares
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] asci:
Well, I received my HD and display didn't impress me that much! Brightness is not impressive, Diamond and iPhone are better, colors and text seems to be faded. The white has a warm colour temperature...

Any one had the same impressions?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] prospects:
yes i wish there would be a way to increase brightness!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] NeoS:
It won't be easy to patch this driver for the HD. The Polaris and Kaiser driver were rev. 1 drivers. The Diamond and up are rev. 2. This means LOTS of low level coding and WAY more time consuming.

And the Polaris and Kaiser drivers themselves are still under development, so don't expect anything from the people who work on those drivers. (as far as i know, i'm the only one who got myself an HD)

The driver seems to work pretty similar to the Polaris (my old device) and as I said earler, i got Lights.exe to work on hardware rendering. But that's pretty much it. No improvements on speed or anything. I will however see how far i can push this myself.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pzucchel:
...no! it looked to me gorgeous. what's your problem?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] asci:
If you refer to display...not so gorgeous...I remember the X7500 one more brightness than HD one.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stesa:
have you tried to manually set brightness ? it seem the lightsensor is'nt so efficent ...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] asci:
Ciao Stesa...;)

Yes, I did, is the very first thing I do when I unbox all of them...At least from X7500 ;)

About the light sensor, it seems to work differently from the Diamond one, but I found it more reactive and the changes according to the ambient brightness value are more evident.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] NeoS:
Nice! I see the performance of the X1 almost matches the HD. This could mean that a possible video driver could ALSO work on the Xperia.

I'm currently trying to see if the P3D driver can be of some use for the HD. I think it can, but it needs major alterations.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] thanosc:
No Sunny day today in Greece brightness just fine. maybe uncheck the autobrightnes??? a bit slow some times.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] LelleZet:
(sorry for my bad english) :)

I've doing some tests with the HTC-CA-Kaiser driver on the Blackstone.

I'am using the D3DM_ati.dll from this package. Lights.exe, D3DMdemo.exe and Triangle.exe running excellent.

Lights.exe tells me:

Hardware Rasterization: True

Hardware T&L: true

Triangles about 250-270 frames/sec.

Then i tested the Diamond Hologram. To make it running i've copy the HTCAPI.DLL into \WINDOWS\ folder.

It runs excellent!

TFLO3d also runs absolutly perfect!

But GLbenchmark won't run, even with original driver and the Omnia driver. :(

The first test ist running but the others not.

@NeoS2007

How have you managed to start glbenchmark?
[General Questions and Answers] i3GX:
What Does A Custom ROM DEPEND on?

So unfortunately my phone, being an amazon phone, isn't a popular device and has NO custom roms available, I struggled to find a TWRP file but I FINALLY found one. Does the rom depend on architecture? Chip? Screen Size? Camera? What makes a BV A80 Pro (Same phone just a slightly differnt chip and the Pro doesn't have NFC) lineage os ROM (BV A80 Pro has an LOS Custom ROM) not work on a BV A80 Plus? I couldn't find an answer on google and I know people here are smart (Except me) I really want Lineage OS, Havoc OS, Bliss or AOISP. How would I get one of these on my device?

Upgrading to android 11 or 12:

My phone has Android Q and I asked the company if my phone will ever receive an update past Q, They said no and I don't have the money to go buy a new phone. I flashed an A11 GSI in TWRP but it says "Cant flash system files to system" or something like that. How would I update it to A11?

System Apps:

Bloatware, Bloatware, BLOATWARE! I HATE IT! I don't know what flash file to edit, nor do I know how I would go about editing it so that I can remove the bloatware and add some apps. Help here would be great!

Aesthetics Editing:

So I recently rooted my phone (BV A80 Plus), and I only rooted my phone because I specifically bought the red version of that phone because I like red. Unfortunately, all the buttons, volume panel, settings app text, toggle switches and quick settings tiles are blue. Its not an attractive contrast and I wanted a way to make that blue accent a nice red. I tried the Dev options accent color, but it doesn't change every accent, it only changes the text accent. Everything else stays blue. I tried Swift installer AND substratum, but those tiles still stay blue... So I looked into my phones System UI apk, and I found that there is a separate color input for the tiles under res/values/colors. I don't know how to change that color so I guess I'm asking for a little help with that.

Is Another UI Possible On Stock Android?

Is it possible to replace the boring stock UI with a different one? Like One UI or Mi UI?

Sorry for the long post :(
[Touch HD General] fasty:
I've read reports of several people receiving their Touch HD with dead or stuck pixels.

Perhaps new owners would be kind enough to post the following information :

- Do you have any dead or stuck pixels, if so, how many (please post even if the answer is "none", to get a realistic view.

- How many defective pixels would you regard as "acceptable" for this device before it should be returned for replacement ?

Thanks in advance,

- Steve
[Touch HD General] Acelister:
I've seen 5 devices, all without dead pixels. And I think the standard is that 3 dead pixels are acceptable.
[Touch HD General] Raziel1:
Hi i got my german verison yesterday.

-Stuck Pixels : 2 (Staying white all the time)

-None, as this is a device which depends on its huge screen. But on the other hand, has got a small one compared to something like a 22" display whioch also has mostly none dead pixels or max 1 or two

beside of this: when i switched to camera mode, there was an area of around 2-4 pixels which stayed white all the time. not a dead pixel, more like a problem with the camera sensor (maybe dead sensor spots?? )

Good thing: went to store and will get a new device at monday :)
[Touch HD General] Dhorst:
Pixels

One stuck pixel, it's blue:(

I dont bother about one pixsel

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

Sorry for the English
[Touch HD General] Raziel1:
What version have you got? english, german?

if you just bought it, go and try to get a new one!!
[Touch HD General] finisterre:
As far as I am concerned, one dead pixel is unacceptable.

I only had this problem once (on an iPaq 3970 PDA) and I exchanged it.
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
I agree. 1 dead pixel is not acceptable for a £500+ phone. Would an online retailer accept it as a fault to return it for another one or is there a rule like with PSPs where a certain amount is possible and natural?
[Touch HD General] fasty:
Being an electronics designer, I understand the challenge of producing a flaw-free display of such size. Unfortunately, perhaps for the same reason, I would find even one dead pixel most annoying, especially for such an expensive device.

The good news is that under the UK distance selling regulations, if you buy it over the internet within the UK, you have 7 days to return it for a refund for any reason, providing it is returned exactly as received. It should be borne in mind that some suppliers impose re-stocking charges if sealed software discs have been opened, so read their terms and conditions carefully first !
[Touch HD General] finisterre:
But how do you return it exactly as received?

You have to break the seals on the box, tear open the various plastic bags containing the battery etc. Deplete the battery ever so slightly etc.
[Touch HD General] fasty:
See the Office of fair Trading Guide for businesses on distance sellling :

http://www.oft.gov.uk/shared_oft/business_leaflets/general/oft698.pdf, especially section 3.58.

Basically, you need to be allowed to try the goods. Makes sense, eh?
[Touch HD General] SingaporeAirlines:
Which is the problem with Distance Selling ! I would tolerate one dead pixel - preferably in a corner. I remember my Nokia 7710 didn't come with dead pixels but after about a year there was one - which was acceptable given its age.
[Touch HD General] Acelister:
The good thing is, the HD doesn't have seals on it until Orange puts them on. XD

So if you're getting it from a website, good news! No tearing to be done, lol!
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
So can people who already own one confirm that their boxes had no security seals on them please.
[Touch HD General] Raziel1:
Yeah, no seal at all. basicly you could even test the headset and other stuff as they weren't sealed eather. only the cd's were
[Touch HD General] gervasius:
How to test dead/stucked pixels?

I would do this immediately when I receive device....

thx
[Touch HD General] Raziel1:
Test them?? You will see them when you start your device.

dead/stuck pixels are pixels, which always stay black, white or another colour.

when i got the device already saw two white pixels when i switched the device on first. (you have to look closely because the pixels are small) but they are desturbing especially when the screen is it what makes this device special :mad:
[Touch HD General] gervasius:
ok, thx.. I got lot of touch screen devices but never dead pixels..

hope that history will continue :D
[Touch HD General] Raziel1:
same with me. never had any dead pixels on a phone or pc monitor. that was the first time. why did it have to happen on such agreat product?

any way, i was able to retrive it and will recieve another one on monday :)
[Touch HD General] gervasius:
any new device with dead pixels??
[Touch HD General] kalkoen:
Hi Guys,

Today i recieved my Touch HD from www.2call.nl

To add my 2 cents...

- No dead or stuck pixels on the device

- For a device at this price I'd assume that it went to thorough testing.

therefore I would consider 0 dead or stuck pixels as "acceptable".

- The product box didn't have a security seal.

Regards,

Kalkoen
[Touch HD General] Mark One:
Well it has more pixels than your average phone so a higher probability that one will fail I guess...
[Touch HD General] fasty:
Well I received my HD today.

I haven't noticed any dead pixels yet.

- Steve
[Touch HD General] davecash:
Hi guys,

Noticed what seems to be 1 stuck/dead pixel. Received my handset today from handtec... i live in Australia. Trying to do a few tests to fix the pixel up. It's really unacceptable to have even one dead pixel. It really distracts you while your using the phone. Going to be interesting if i have to send this handset back o/s
[Touch HD General] guanodude:
I have no dead pixels, but I would return mine if I had one (or more :p )

Indeed, for a €550,- phone, I wouldn't accept it.
[Touch HD General] kevwright:
There are no seals on the HD box, and a quick blast from a hairdryer will let you open many things without messing them up :-)

Kev
[Touch HD General] fasty:
There shouldn't be a problem for UK buyers anyway.

If you read the Distance Selling guidelines referenced on page 1 of this thread, you will see that they specifically mention being allowed to break seals if that is necessary to try the product.

Obviously however, it is only fair to the retailer to ensure that if you return it, it is re-packed in a "saleable" condition.

I remember buying a radio once from a well-known high street retailer, and when I got it home and opened the box, it looked like it had been used for a year! It was scratched and dirty. That really isn't acceptable !

- Steve
[Touch HD General] Da_Kem:
No dead pixels...
[Touch HD General] dreja:
When can you test (power up ) the device to examine dead pixels ?

As soon when you open the box (and put in sim card and battery) or you have first to fill up the battery ?
[Touch HD General] MHoefler:
I returned my first HD due to a defective "Volume Down" button. It had no dead pixels. Neither does the new one I have right now.

The battery comes charged, so you can test it in the shop. Simply insert the battery (without SIM card) and power on the device. After some initialization time, you'll get welcome screens in different colors (green, white, black at the beginning) so you can see if there are dead pixels or not.

Regards!
[Touch HD General] nin2thevoid:
The box is magnetically sealed, hence it has no sticker seal of any kind, unless some provider puts a seal on it. The default HTC packaging has no sealing of any kind other than a latch that locks in place magnetically.

No dead pixels here either, hope it stays that way!

Do not tolerate a dead pixel. Return it. I sure as hell would.
