I flashed Android 9.0 Pie beta just a few days ago and everything works fine. But, now I have to visit Huawei service (camera won't focus) and I'd like to lock the bootloader beforehand, so that the warning message goes away. Maybe even downgrade to 8.0, because having 9.0 beta installed may...

I've tried using this extractor but with no success. I've also read somewhere that I shouldn't try using it with P10 Plus, but I can't really recall where or why. Anyway, after several tries, I'm back to v16.7, and to be honest I'm good for the time being. Thanks for your help.

I want to try the patched boot image method, but I'm not sure how I can get the boot.img file. Can I extract it somehow from the update I used to manually upgrade to Oreo? I have the 3 .zip files in my PC.

A few hours ago I got a notification to upgrade the Magisk Manager. After I did that, Magisk manager said that Magisk is not installed. I downloaded the new version (v17.0) and tried installing it through TWRP, as I did the first time, but it fails with a 255 error (cannot install zip). Anyone...

I installed the zip but don't see the option to record anywhere. Device is `VKY-L09C432B375`

Yeah, you were right. The app you link says that tests pass.

Thanks for the recommendations and info! I downloaded a separate "checker" app and says that my device is NOT compatible. Since my bank app works as intended with the "Hide" function, I think I'm ok. I'm just curious why it doesn't work though.

Success with `VKY-L09C432B171`. But, SafetyNet check says "The response is invalid". I don't really care for it atm, one app that detected that my phone is rooted, worked fine after I used the "Magisk Hide" feature. Anyone had any luck with Viper4Android? I am new to Magisk, what modules (that...

I did get all contents of the `sdcard` out. I'm just trying to see if I can get app data as well.

My phone got stuck in a bootloop since yesterday and now I am trying to get out any data/backup I can. After dozens of tries (most of the times it just reboots when I choose to get into recovery from the bootloader), I managed to get to recovery and get the whole `sdcard` contents with `adb...

Permissive mode is not working for me, for some reason. TitaniumBackup on Android 6.0/ElementalX v6.02/SuperSU v2.52 still saves at ''storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup'. I tried both SELinuxModeChanger and the permissive.zip flashable that ElementalX post is supplying.

I've recently changed my cracked screen (to an authorized LG service center) and right after that my battery started behaving strangely. At this point I'll be lucky if the battery lasts for 2 or 3 hours. I was about to change the battery too, but then I remember reading in a review for a Nexus...

I had the same issue, and although I didn't have the time to investigate it much, the problem seems to be the following: Backups used to be located at storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup (sdcard) and they are now saved to storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup The second path is only accessible...

It's a risk for sure, but the price difference I think justifies it. My concern now is whether service centers for LG here in Greece, will service US devices or they'll respond that they have no spare parts for the US model.

Thanks man. Now all I have to do is find someone from US to bring me one :)
