Out of the blue, my watch is now requiring me to input a pin just to navigate between screens. When I go to Settings/Security/Lock/Type - the option for "None" is greyed out. And then under Settings/Security/Lock/Use for - the option for payments only is also greyed out. I have factory reset the watch and this is still occurring. Other than awaiting the next update, hopefully with a patch, does anyone know a workaround?

[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] DarkSun0212:
Hello everyone,

i am searching for a security focused/hardened Custom Rom for the Huawei P20 Lite.

Something like GrapheneOS. GrapheneOS sounds very interesting but unfortunately it is not available for the P20 Lite.

Please note that i am not only talking about Privacy. I am searching a secure Rom.

I often find LineageOS when i am googling, but i think it is more privacy focused and i also read that security updates often be shipped to late...

Greetings and thanks in advance

@-Alf- I now read this the second time in connection with security questions.

What is the deal about Kirin Devices? I mean what makes it impossible to harden a ROM/OS and deactivate unsafe Software Parts/Services and install security features?
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
I can't name the reasons, I'm not a developer. I only know that ROM/OS like Graphene, Postmarket, Sailfish, UbuntuTouch etc. etc. (all that works on Snapdragon, MTK, etc.) , cannot be installed on Kirin. Or they only work partially.
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] Arealhooman:
No roms are safe. Your data can always be wiped, stolen etc with a custom recovery and unlocked bootloader

Hi. This should be straight forward, but I'm not finding it so using Oneplus 7pro phone and 5 watch. Right now I change the file name to ".mp3" and use the galaxy app to move the file, then change the name back on the watch. What's a better way?

Solved: MyWear File Explorer on both devices.

Can someone like @blakegriplingph can revive the Nabi 2 servers from Fuhu when it shutdown in 2019?

Any tips, tricks or progress can be posted here.

Mod edit: Social media link.removed.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] blakegriplingph:
I'm afraid not as no one even bothered saving the files from that server.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] GwenHasANabi:
Well, they can recreate it.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] StealthyWolf:
Not that simple, we don't know what exactly was on those severs. That's like telling you to recreate a text file I deleted from my computer. While it technically could be possible there isn't enough interest in a niche and obsolete product for someone to painstakingly remake servers from nothing and then host them. Sorry to disappoint.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] atomic339:
Sorry for this boring question but I still can't decide between vs 7 and 7pro.

I use OnePlus 7Pro and for now I hate curved display because it is very problematic to get good screen protector.

I know the difference between phones.

But please tell me your opinion about curved screen. About problem with screen protect etc.

If you have to make a new decision, will you choose 7 or 7pro?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I would choose the 7 Pro with a Spigen Tough Armor case.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wilberfan:
I originally got the Pixel 6 because I was concerned about the curved screen on the Pro. I took a chance when I upgraded to the Pixel 7 and went with the Pro.

I honestly have forgotten that the 7 Pro has a curved screen. I have a Spigen case on it and NO screen protector and have it in a leather holster when I'm out and about.

It's all a good combination for me. 👍
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MrBelter:
Hated the curved screen but i soon got used to it on the P6P and clearly that followed though on to the P7P. Film screen protectors seem to work really well, they are bubble free and the self repairing aspect of them is brilliant, they tend to last around 6 months in my experience.

Personally i think the macro is a waste of time but it is there if you want it, i'd rather have a fix focus lens on the ultra wide given its main job is landscapes etc and you can get the same macro result using one of the zoom ranges without macro turned on so it feels like a gimmick (to me). The 5x zoom doesn't seem as good as the 4x was on the P6P for some reason, not range but image quality, they always seem very soft and lacking in detail to me, everyone else's seem fine though so it may just be my phone in particular.

Battery life is great and i often don't need to charge it on a night.

I did have it in a Spigen Tough Armor case but recently changed to a Caseology Athlex, i do like the Tough Armor but they always end up feeling manky.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
The curved screen is barely even noticeable. I just struggle to believe that anybody has an issue because of an eighth of an inch around the edge of a phone. I mean the damn thing is as big as the phone gets as it is. And, like was posted above, barely even noticeable. Particularly when it’s in a case.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MrBelter:
It is the fragility of it and the lack of regular screen protectors that are the issue, not the curve.

I am using the P7P with the Whitestone with no problems or concerns. If you are looking for a TPU the Superschieldz worked well while I was waiting for the Whitestone.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mikebb00:
I switched to the Pixel 7 Pro from a OnePlus 7T. Keep in mind if you use a Dual SIMs in you OP7Pro it's a little tricky and you have to install Automate to utilize dual ringtones on the Pixel 7 Pro. The screen protector I'm using is the Zagg Shield - works fine for a non-glass screen protector and others should do the same. The Pixel 7 Pro Cameras are what got me to switch from the OnePlus 7T - I almost went with the OnePlus 10Pro - already knew this was close 1yr old and AT&T Allowed the devices 5G on the network .. so I went with the P7Pro.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] atomic339:
Thanks, last question.

New device from box - do you make factory reset only and update or do you flash stock ROM via fasfboot etc?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
No need to factory reset a new device, but if it's me, do the minimal setup at first boot, flash January Firmware after unlocking the bootloader, making sure you disable verity and verification so you can flash custom Kernels, since that will wipe the device anyway.

I recommend Pixflasher if you're unsure of or want to avoid using ADB commands

The only thing which interest me in root is vowifi calling.

I need to test VoLTE, because I have bad cellular signal in my house.

So if I decided not to root device. Should I update only from phon (ota) or the first time do it from computer?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
By the computer is much faster. You can still use Pixelflasher, just don't install Magisk. Just flash the newest firmware and since you're not unlocking your bootloader or going to use a kernel, you can save data and not check verity and verification
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] atomic339:
Thanks. Personally, do you use PixelFlasher or fastboot?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
Pixelflasher. It’s just too easy and a lot faster.

I went from the 6 pro to the 7 pro only because from Google, with the trade in, it was only $200.00.

I got the pro only because of the camera.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Samuel Holland:
Nice👍👍
[Lenovo P11] tylerdanarg:
Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Some cuestions that you may have an answer for:

1. Has the bootloader to be unlock? What happens if I have the bootloader lock? (I lock mine with zui 14 in order to get L1)

2. Is there a way to change region code like in others lenovo models? Will it have any impact on OTAs?

3. Can you rollback to zui 14?

Thanks in advance. I think that will be able to have a full working rom with OTAs and L1 eventually. This is a huge step forward
[Lenovo P11] Pawnty:
Out of curiosity, does the Chinese model have an Ultra fast charging?

My Global P11 Pro gen 2 does Rapid charge and my cable display caps out at 10w which I wouldn't say is rapid...

Same cable and charger gives me much faster speeds on my Galaxy S22U.
[Lenovo P11] als_bvg:
It does. The Chinese running ZUI has Ultra-fast charging with the original cable and charger. :)
[Lenovo P11] als_bvg:
1 - You don't need the bootloader to be unlocked to flash this global version. I had Zui 14 with a locked bootloader and OEM locked, and the flashing worked. The OEM toggle will not be available once you use this version. It says you need to connect to the internet or contact your carrier.

2 - No way to change the region code so far. OTA will not work as described. It was tested on an older version. It will download and try to install but will fail. This is the latest rom so no OTA updates so far, we will have to wait to see if it will be the same.

3 - Yes, you can roll back to Zui 14. I did that quite a few times during my tests. Bricked the device more than 20 times and was always able to roll back to ZUI.
[Lenovo P11] Hanswurstistda:
Thank you so much!

Generating User Accounts is working too? Wanted to use the tablet for the family, but ZUI doesn't offer accounts and Google Family doesn't work.
[Lenovo P11] vitiosing:
Hi. Thank you very much for the excellent work! Testing, so far so good. Do I have an L1 or am I misunderstanding something? Screenshot attached.
[Lenovo P11] daybreak7456:
Thanks for the great work you do.

We have successfully implemented the global implementation.

My tablet is formatted with the SP Flash Tool. The serial number was lost at that time. (When I looked in the settings, the serial number was 0123456789ABCDEF.)

The serial number itself was recovered by rewriting the proinfo.bin. I think this formatting probably caused the Widevine-related settings to disappear and become L3.

I ask other L3 users, did you format with SP Flash Tool or python?
[Lenovo P11] tylerdanarg:
Flash mine today from ZUI 14 with bootloader lock, L1 and Google Play Certified to Global ROM and I kept L1, Google Certified Device and everything Is working. Even fast charging.

Thanks a lot! Let's see what happens when an OTA Will be available.
[Lenovo P11] GeesRiK:
I bought it for my daughter to use and have Family link for her Google Account and its all kinds of wonky (it shows my daughters account under Accounts then it vanishes. the only way I can add it back in is by signing into the Play store but then after an hour or so it goes. Works fine with my google account. Damn Family Link!)

(its on 14.0.413, and has an update pending for 14.0.640 ST). Not a clue how to check if its a modified ROM or what, but was going to try the above and see how it gets on. 🤞
[Lenovo P11] tylerdanarg:
Just to clarify fast charging Is shown on the screen but I don't if it's 10w ir 30w. I Will do some measures today and keep you posted
[Lenovo P11] vitiosing:
Try the AccuBattery app, it may not be accurate, but it shows the charging current. I don't want to charge it yet. I will first discharge it and then install this app and start charging. It's convenient because it shows time to charge up to 100%.
[Lenovo P11] als_bvg:
Thanks for your input. I formated it before using the option "format + download" and serial number is now 012345678ABCDEF. I can try doing what you did with the file proinfo.bin. Any specific tutorial you used?
[Lenovo P11] als_bvg:
Go to your settings menu. If you see the word ZUI anywhere, it's the Chinese model and you can flash the global if you want. :)
[Lenovo P11] GeesRiK:
Thanks! Yep, I have ZUI! I think its the family link attached to my daughters Google account that makes it annoying, but can't see any down sides in going to the Global to be honest. Can't get any worse... can it?! :oops::ROFLMAO:(y)
[Lenovo P11] als_bvg:
It shouldn't get any worse lol, but if your daughter is a kid you might benefit of a global rom, it has Kids space and the possibility of creating multiple users.
[Lenovo P11] GeesRiK:
Awesome! Big thanks.
[Lenovo P11] daybreak7456:
What I did.

Install Python and mtkclient on a windows 10 computer.

python mtk rl --skip userdata "Destination path"

Backup everything but the user data with the above command

Open the backed up proinfo.bin with HxD and rewrite the serial number at the beginning.

python mtk wl "Destination path"

Flash the rewritten proinfo.bin with the above command.

Please check the commands and other information on the website.

I used to be able to do this, but I just tried it with a globalised tablet and it didn't work: the BROM mode (press power and volume plus simultaneously to connect the cable) is difficult to connect and even if it does, an error message appears and the process stops. When I get more time, I will switch back to zui14 and give it a try.
[Lenovo P11] als_bvg:
Nice one! I can test it tomorrow. It's actually easier to pull the proinfo.bin file using MTK META Utility by using option Dump NV region. I was able to get and edit the file. Not sure how to flash it again on ZUI with a unlocked bootloader. But that's a start. I managed to get another Serial number by flashing another user's backup, but I still have L3, so might not be connected. I'll keep trying.
[Lenovo P11] als_bvg:
I actually managed to get it back by flashing the edited proinfo.bin file using this command on ZUI with unlocked bootloader and OEM unlocked: fastboot flash proinfo proinfo.bin

Now let's see if it impacts or not L3. Testing...

Thx, I received a fake Global and updated it with lasted ROW with RSA.

Rooted it.

And I'm really happy.

The ROM is very good and I really like the OLED screen 😍
[Lenovo P11] pokkanima:
hmm but how can we update the global rom? the last rom seem to be Jun 27, 2023.
[Lenovo P11] chrissss91:
It's really simple, juste use Lenovo RSA : https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/fr/fr/products/tablets/p-series/tab-p11-pro-2nd-gen/downloads/ds101291-rescue-and-smart-assistant-lmsa?Products=TABLETS/P-SERIES/TAB-P11-PRO-2ND-GEN

Install it (it takes time because of all the Mediateck USB Drivers), launch it, then in Rescue Tab select Tablet, insert your S/N.

At first it told me that I had a chinese model and that it was not supposed to be supported but I gave it a try (select "Recommanded Method").

In the first drop list select : "Lenovo Tab P11 Pro(2nd Gen)", in the second drop list select "TB132FU" (be sure that you possess this model) and in the 3rd drop list, select your region. I guess that if you choose China it'll purpose the CN version and for every other country it'll purpose the ROW (Rest Of World) version. It seems that China Mainland is not there anymore so whatever country you choose, it'll purpose the ROW (Rest Of World) version.

It showed me that I could install "TB132FU_S240212_230921_ROW" (Android 13 with Android Security update from Sept 1st 2023).

Click Download and just follow the process.

I have to admit that I've never seen such a good process (a lot of popup explaining every step, sometimes with pictures 😍) for a process like that.
[Lenovo P11] pokkanima:
Oh ic, it will not brick the global fake rom i hope?
[Lenovo P11] chrissss91:
If you select the good model and follow all the step I think that there is no risk.

And only the flashing process is at risk, which is the very last step, since this is the only moment the tablet is connected to th PC.

Be aware that the tablet screen is turned off during the flash so you won't have any clue of the flashing progress on the tablet. So wait RSA to complete before unplugging the USB wire (IIRC it takes ~5 min).
[Lenovo P11] pokkanima:
Thanks so much, it seems that they require a serial number but my china tablet serial number doesnt work.

However, if we got to do a fresh reinstall everytime we update, it would be extremely painful.
[Lenovo P11] Laesx:
Do you have to do something special when it tells you to connect the device to the computer? I do everything, turn off the device, have it unplugged then plug it in when it asks, but nothing happens, a bunch of windows unplug/plug noises but no reaction from the software or the tablet.
[Lenovo P11] chrissss91:
No, as far as I remember, I just had to wait for software progress bar to move on.

Tablet screen was off during the whole flash (no sign of life 😅). I think that it took at least +5 min.
[Lenovo P11] Laesx:
Yup seemed to be an issue with my PC, it went fine on Laptop, although global is a bit meh, L1 was kept but no fast charging like in ZUI, also a few things are a bit uglier, I'm considering flashing ZUI back.
[Lenovo P11] chrissss91:
Glad it worked.

Never been on ZUI since I flashed it on day 1 so I can't compare, but I have to say that I really like Global ROM.

And I don't need fast charge since I also use the tablet as a photo frame and activated the battery protection (nice feature I was not aware of : Battery is charged between 20% and 60%)
[Lenovo P11] BathshebaDoom:
It is no longer possible to select a country in RSA.

Why is this?
[Lenovo P11] chrissss91:
I guess it's because they were all leading to "TB132FU_S240212_230921_ROW.zip"
[Lenovo P11] BathshebaDoom:
Will PRC, China not be able to choose in the hereafter?

This makes it impossible to ZUI the TB132FU purchased on AliExpress anymore.

I changed from ZUI to the latest Global ROM, thank you for the instructions. I like the ROM with the exception of the taskbar sometimes showing over apps, like the browser and even Netflix. I can't find a way to hide it. Does anyone know?

IIRC you can hide it if you use gesture (instead of 3 buttons) with a long press on it.
