    Post So... rooting in August?

    I'm afraid Dc-unlocker does not support P20 Pro at the moment. I'm not sure if it ever will. I bought about 5 credits for it and when attempting to unlock I get error 375 if I remember correctly. Don't bother trying at the moment.

    Post [UNLOCK] Two methods to unlock bootloader without offical Huawei website (ANE-LX1)

    God damn. I seem to run into the same issue. CLT-L29 8.1.0.152(C432) I heard that it's impossible to unlock the bootloader even if you have the code for it if running the latest OS update. Is this true? Are we stuck with Huawei's spyware for good?

    Guys, this is getting pretty annoying. Been using this ROM for a week now. Ticked almost all the boxes during installation. (pixel 2 mod etc.) The phone will occasionally freeze while charging. Probably has something to do with always-on display during charging? Becomes unresponsive with...

    I have a suggestion to make. I don't have enough programming experience to know if this is difficult to implement or not. One of the battery icon modes is a radial one. The less battery you have - the smaller the circle is. The problem though is that it uses radius instead of area of the circle...

    Post Unable to format in TWRP

    I fixed the problem. It turned out to be a faulty USB-C to USB-A cable. The only problems were with file transfer-related commands. I then tried transferring a 1 kb file, then 1 mb (failed) then 200kb, then 300kb (failed). So it turns out the cable is ****ty. Wow. And nothing is corrupted. I'm...

    Yes I'm using the latest binaries - I got them via Android SDK and updated everything. I checked the ones you linked and they are exactly the same. Regarding the hash check - this has nothing to do with the file being corrupted. This happens with ANY file I try to flash. I tried putting the...

    Post [GUIDE] [UPDATE 3] How to enable Google Assistant on your phone (Android 7.0+ only)

    Did you flash velvet first, then buildprop? Also it says in the OP that if you still get Now on Tap you have to clear Google App's data. I did this and instantly got Assistant.

    I tried to flash Pure Nexus 7.0 today and been trying to fix this the whole day. I get bootloops no matter what I'm installing from scratch, be it 6.0, 7.0, factory 7.0 image, or restoring an old backup. I can boot into bootloader but not sure what to do from here. I even wiped the internal...

    I used 3.0.2.1, not an ancient one like you're imagining. The only problem I had was the 2 red "unknown command" errors, and it says in the FAQ of the thread that these errors are harmless but I updated anyway thinking this is somehow related to the bootloops. edit: Also I forgot to make it...

    I still have GPS problems on V10.0. The location only updates every 5 minutes or so, so I guess it has problem getting a gps "lock". Happens in all apps that use location.

    I still have an issue that I've had since 8.0. Basically apps have some kind of trouble getting location in the background, and even not in the background. This breaks Google's Timeline feature.

    Has the location bug been fixed? Back when I tried this ROM I had to go back because apps like Google Maps couldn't get location in the background by themselves, only if forced. I think it was some issue with samsung proprietary files, I'm not sure though. If it's fixed then I'm definitely...
