My mistake. No, I did not change the kernel. I am very grateful that it was ported and developed to what we use today. I was under the impression that the builtin Wireguard code was out of date and needed an update to work properly. That's why I started tinkering around with it (in a separate...

Thanks for this info. I hoped as much, and will not try to build in kernel support any longer. The app itself is very capable of making the VPN work. I use it on my primary device regularly. Thank you, but luckily, my Y550 has returned from the dead. It's WiFi was truly fixed by a thorough...

Thanks to the LineageOS-developers this is today's build containing the December-2020 and November-2020 security patches. Recent changes: LineageOS 14.1 Kernel: https://github.com/HUAWEI-Y550-Y635/android_kernel_huawei_msm8916/commits/los-14.1 ZIP: lineage-14.1-20201220-UNOFFICIAL-y550.zip...

FM radio? Would it be possible to add FM radio to this ROM? I have tried to add it myself, but failed. I always end up with a never-ending boot animation. First, I looked at the sources for the Huawei Y550 (LineageOS 14.1) which I regularly build for. It has FM radio support built in. After...

I think these steps will work: In Settings / System / Updater click refresh, and download the new release. Then, long-tick the downloaded update, choose 'export update'. The first time you do this, you have to give your permission to store the update on Internal Storage. Check with a file...

As always, you seem to be the master of finding information on XDA. Thanks for the research! :) I think I'll give it a go using the "Method B: Integrating into ROMs" - who knows what will happen. When the November-2020 patches arrive, I'll build as usual without explicit WireGuard stuff - and...

Good news and request Hello all, TL;DR: 1) my Y550-L01's wifi is working again TL;DR: 2) I'd like your help in testing the WireGuard functionality in this ROM Today, my personal Y550-L01 was given a new life. I decided to retry flashing the stock firmware to possibly fix the dead wifi (MAC ==...

Up until today, I thought this wouldn't work. When doing so, fastboot would say: writing 'recovery'... (bootloader) Image not signed or corrupt And thus, I thought it had not flashed at all. Today, I read elsewhere on this forum, to simply ignore this message and check whether it flashed. It...

Working fine Thanks for this ROM. Everything seems to work out of the box: LTE, wifi, Bluetooth, camera, audio volumes. Well done! What I do appreciate the most, is that abhishek_d9 has made his RR-support of this device official. That means that we will (probably) get regular and timely...

Thanks for the tip. I'm afraid this is another issue - I haven't flashed any Gapps with my ROM (yet), and have never even used Magisk before. BetoxxDios has shown me a way to get logfiles during boot: build an -eng variant instead of -user or -userdebug. Now, we're investigating what's going...

Close, but no cigar - yet Thanks BetoxxDios for providing the links to kernel, device and vendor trees in a private message. After expanding the RAM of my machine to 16GB and some very educational experiments, the build finally succeeded. TWRP flashed the ROM without any errors. Yeah! Then...

I don't know about stock ROMs, but the most recent LineageOS ROMs are suited for all variants (L01, L02 and L03). Sorry I can't help you. Kind regards, FWieP

7.1.2. update Thanks to the LineageOS-developers this is today's build containing the October-2020 security patches. Recent changes: LineageOS 14.1 Kernel: https://github.com/HUAWEI-Y550-Y635/android_kernel_huawei_msm8916/commits/los-14.1 ZIP: lineage-14.1-20201028-UNOFFICIAL-y550.zip MD5...

Having flashed this ROM a few days ago, I find it nearly perfect. Nearly :) the October 2020 security patches are available from LineageOS; can they be included? Would it be possible for you to share your kernel (link to source) and roomservice.xml? I would like to try and build the ROM...

Once again: thank you all. I downloaded the mali.img and booted TWRP from it. Then, I flashed the new LineageOS 17.1 and OpenGapps - without any problems, warnings or errors. If there is no way to flash TWRP into the recovery partition permanently, I can live with that. Most important thing is...
