I've manually updated my MediaPad 5 8.4 (SHT-AL09) every time a new update is released. I'm currently running variant c432 and rom version 8.0.0.191. I use the procedure I posted several months ago: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77177717&postcount=4

C432 variant just released 8.0.0.191 with November 2018 Security Patch.

I upgraded the firmware on my M5 SHT-AL09 from 163 to 172 using the same procedure as I previously outlined in post #4. I found out that this procedure only works with the full version of the firmware. I first tried running the OTA version. It failed at about 15% of the way through the...

For me it did not take long for the Pixel to start after boot. Maybe a minute or two. It did take 5-10 minutes to run the Pie update. Maybe it was because I originally installed Magisk 16 before going to version 16.7. I agree with post-mortem's suggestion. It will be easier for you to...

Me too... No issues with the SafetyNet check passing on version 16.7. Sent from my SHT-AL09 using Tapatalk

I fastboot flashed the 9.0 files on top of the July 8.1 version without a data wipe. I had to reinstall TWRP and Magisk using the same install procedure I used on 8.1. Even though root was successfully working on Magisk 16 I had to install beta version 16.7 for the SafetyNet check to work...

I had no issues installing the 9.0 factory image over the 8.1 July update without the data wipe option. I reinstalled TWRP 3.2.2.0 using its install procedure. I needed to upgrade Magisk 16 to the beta version 16.7 in order to get the SafetyNet check to work properly. So far no issues to...

You are correct. The Chinese version of the MediaPad M5 8.4 provides the LTE bands supported by AT&T. Make sure the seller converts the firmware from Chinese to European version (C432) so that when you receive the tablet it is in English and Google Play play is installed. As true for all...

Same. I am on stock rom and I too do not have the file in the drm folder.

In my experience using the Huawei P9 the only time I was successful upgrading the firmware from the dload folder was when the firmware version ended with MF-PV (Public Version). Even though Huawei releases versions of the firmware without the MF-PV extension from what I read these versions are...

Sorry about the typo. I meant to type SHT-AL09 as the model name of my tablet. To install the firmware upgrade as an update (no data wipe) I followed the Tutorial 2 procedure documented from the site below. It worked like a charm...

My wife and I were both successful using DC Unlocker to obtain the bootloader unlock code on our SHT-AL09 tablets. It was easy-peasy. Well worth the 4 Euros. I spent several hours researching and performing all the workarounds mentioned on the forums in an attempt to get the bootloader code...

I've been running on version 163 since last Friday (SHT-AL09). No differences between versions 151 and 163 that I have noticed other than the security update. Battery life, screen response, etc. are all about the same. My tablet is running smooth with no issues other than the well documented...

The OTA update installed successfully on XT1644 using the manual Recovery Install from SD Card procedure. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Did you get past this issue? The same thing happened to me. Thanks!
