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 I was under the impression that the builtin Wireguard code was out of date and needed an update to work properly.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

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...

Thanks for the reply. I used twrp-3.4.0-0-ali, downloaded from the official download page. Is there a special download page for 64bit TWRP? Kind regards, FWieP

Thank you Thank you very much for building and posting this ROM. I would very much like to try it on my G6 (XT1925-5). Following this thread, I got as far as unlocking the bootloader and booting TWRP from fastboot. But could not flash anything because of a locked boot.img. I have requested an...

Hello, I too would appreciate a modified boot image for this firmware version. I'm using a G6 XT1925-5. This is the original boot image, pulled as instructed in step 2. PPSS29.55-37-7-10-stockboot.img Kind regards and thanks! FWieP

Tutorial update Hello all, These days, I reinstalled my dualboot system of Debian (primary) and Ubuntu Studio (music production and Y550-building). I followed my own tutorial, and found some small errors since the upgrade to v. 20.04 LTS. To be specific: - the package libncurses5 has to be...

No, not yet. But I have read about KVM and Qemu. Sadly, I think my system has not enough RAM to host the virtmanager, one guest's Debian desktop and another guest Ubuntu. It barely builds when I reboot to Ubuntu and then start the procedure - on the text console (no GUI login). Maybe a future...

I think I've found the place to add "Y550" to the assertion options during install, see this commit on GitHub. Unfortunately, my build of the most recent sources keeps on failing. I'm waiting for the January-2020 patches to appear, then I will try again. as rudolfm suggested. Kind regards...

7.1.2 update delayed Hello all, Today, the LineageOS sources for 14.1 have been updated to include the December 2019 security updates, see this link to the changelog. Following my own instructions, be it under Ubuntu or Debian, I am not able to build the ROM. I keep getting memory-related...

It took some time and effort, but I've managed to get the build-environment up and running on my Debian 10 systems. For anyone interested: - I had to install the libncurses5 package alongside the libncurses5-dev package mentioned in my own tutorial. - I had to have the openjdk-8 Java, but that...

7.1.2 update delayed Dear all, This month's security patches are being applied to the 7.1.2 LineageOS sourcecode as I am writing this post. I will not be able to apply them into my regular monthly update of the Y550 custom ROM at this time. I have switched my GNU/Linux system from Ubuntu...

Could you try making a backup of your data, then a factory reset in TWRP? Does the problem reappear? Kind regards, FWieP

No 8.1 or 9.0 from FWieP Dear all, I would like you to know that I will not be able to provide an Android 8.1 or 9.0 custom ROM for the Y550 devices. For any device, actually. I will however keep on building the monthly 7.1.2 updates - as long as LineageOS officially supports that version...

Thanks for the information and clarification. Although I do not use Magisk or root myself, I think many users will benefit from your (many) thorough investigations. Kind regards, FWieP

No certainly not better. It's probably the same file, only signed. Apparently not - when I tried to flash it using TWRP, the updater-script complained about it not being signed. So I searched for and found a way to sign it myself (using LineageOS keys already on disk). That's all. Kind...

https://fwiep.nl/y550/4xqwt_lp_modem-signed.zip This is the package on the page pndwal pointed to, signed with the keys of LineageOS and hosted by me. I wrote about the procedure a few posts ago. Kind regards, FWieP

I have just tested (2019-06-26 22:38 +200) using Firefox on Linux; the download works for me. Could you try again using another browser or device? Kind regards, FWieP

Which notification do you mean? While charging, my LED lights yellow-ish. I have tested using a clean install of my latest ROM, receiving SMS (3x): - When not charging, my Y550-L01 beeps and gives me a green blinking LED. - When charging with the original charger (not USB), same behavior. -...

Did you flash the modem zip before the custom ROM? This should fix any dialer issues. Note: I downloaded this zip from post #2, here on XDA. I then signed it using LineageOS' utilities using below script. Lastly, I uploaded it alongside my building tutorial. #!/bin/bash # # Script for signing...

Actually, I set up a VirtualBox VM with about 7GB of RAM (my host system has 8 GB of physical RAM). The system monitor on the (Ubuntu) host showed 100% RAM usage and almost 100% swap usage, but the build succeeded. Don't forget to shut down the VM when you're done; your host system will not like...

Well, here it is: a tutorial on how to build Android 7.1.2 for Y550 devices. Thanks to pndwal for proofreading and feedback. It's a standalone HTML file which should be readable to anyone. https://fwiep.nl/y550/how-to-build-7.1.2.html Please DO try this at home and feedback. :) Kind regards, FWieP
