As the title states, anyone else have the boot loader relock itself after the update? I still have my unlock code from when I first bought the phone but it just sucks that basically I lose all my stuff which was the reason why I unlocked it in the first place. It is what it is though

Yeah man, it's just rolled out by imei number. I bought mine back in first week of February and bought my wife's a week later. She still hasn't received the update yet but I got it yesterday early am

I just got the ota at 6:30am but my wife hasn't received it yet. We bought phones about two weeks apart.

So I checked the system update button and I still haven't received the emui 8 ota update but it is available the L24 on firmware finder for download for anyone of you who might have messed up their system files. Maybe you can now get back on the right track using that

Yeah exactly the same reason as the post above mine. I unlocked the bootloader the day I got the phone so that way when the time comes to do any rooting or modding I wouldn't have to wipe my phone and lose everything. And I've still received all the ota updates on the L24 thus far with the...

I got that update yesterday also on the L24. Nothing special which is very disappointing. Got excited for a couple seconds until I read the description

The only problem with that is that it's still a backup made with twrp so that means the recovery isn't stock right? Which means still won't be able to take ota updates right?

Hasn't been released yet by Huawei. We're all waiting bud

Not exactly. Facebook came pre-installed and can't be removed iirc. I went through and disabled every app I didn't use. Basically what it does when you disable a pre-installed app it resets the app back to factory version then disables it. Below is two screen shots. One of the pre-installed...

Yeah man it seems like they are rolling them out in some unknown pattern so it's pretty sporadic as to when anyone gets it. I just happened to go into the setting and saw it

Go into system settings >> system update and it will be in there if you have an update available

Maybe I can send it to you? It's one that I pieced together from like 4 other ones. Or I can try to upload it to and post the link. I'll do that shortly. Here man, try this and see if it'll let you download it from my Google Drive...

i'm not 100% sure but i think in order to boot twrp using "fastboot boot" command you have to specify, according to "fastboot help" , it's something like "fastboot [kernel] [ramdisk] boot [xxx.img]" and in other posts i see it being written as "fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot <path to...

Nah man. I thought about doing the no twrp install root method posted but decided against it because the twrp available isn't 100% made for our phone. And I keep reading they disabled "fastboot boot" command. I'm gonna hold off until they release the stock firmware did the L24 before I did into...

I'm in Florida and both the wife and I got the update. Not sure what kind of process they use for rolling out updates

But again, removing system apps could cause the ota to fail if one of those apps tries to get updated and it's not there

Nope. I have an unlocked bootloader and I just got an OTA yesterday. Installed with no problem. The twrp is a definite reason why one wouldn't be able to install ota and I'm not 100% sure but I think that being rooted is another although I've read conflicting stories about the root part.

I'm pretty sure the only stock firmware that has been released for this device is the Chinese variant. If you're on the L24 variant like I am there is no way to get back to stock of you rooted and installed twrp unless you made your own backups.

Not sure if this would work but i was looking around and came across this and maybe it could help. droid views.com/fix-emui-5-themes-app-after-unlocking-bootloader/ add the www and remove the space between "droid views"

tbh i have no clue what the hell it's for. it says something about changing the background of photos. all i saw was a bunch of filters to play with like a dumbed down version of Snapchat but my wife said those were already there so i'm clueless

Just to let everyone know I have an unlocked bootloader and I was able to install the B140 update that came through. So if you're on the L24 maybe go into system update and manually check for an update because I didn't get any notification at all for it. I just happened to go into it and it was...

Most of the things I read about that thing is that it's malware.

I haven't rooted or installed twrp yet until the L24 releases the stock firmware but as another user stated you can remove some of the third party apps. The ones that Huawei made system apps that can't be removed without root are the ones that would give problems with the ota like the stock...

Yeah I'm done listening to your nonsense. You're just one of those people who like to argue just for the sake of arguing. Ofc I understand this is an entry level/bottom tier device but at the same time I'm not the one bitching about it either so there's a fact for you. I bought this phone...

Nice man, glad you got it working

All I'm saying is all the pissing and moaning you're doing is accomplishing what exactly? Not pushing the oreo update any faster. Not releasing the stock firmware any quicker because you're going on a 50 post rant voicing your dislike for how they are running their business. I don't see a point...

did you set it to show all notification content? I couldn't find the setting for like two days myself. When you click the notifications tab and then click notifications management, there is a little gear icon on the top right side. go in there and make sure "show when device is locked is...

Look dude, if you're unhappy with the phone or the service then jump ship. Put your phone on swappa.com and grab another one that is more to your liking. First you're writing about how people shouldn't be rooting and installing twrp and how we should leave everything stock. Now you're saying...

If that's bluetooth then that could very well contribute to some drainage. I keep getting a notification from phone manager telling me which apps are using data while screen is locked that I can't seem to get to go away lol

It might be something you installed bro. I personally haven't experienced any issues and my battery on this is better than any phone I've owned before. Maybe download a battery monitor app from Google play and see where the drain is coming from. As far as the lag, I haven't messed with anything...

But with doing that you won't be able to take ota. That's what I'm trying to avoid. It won't let me fastboot boot into twrp and even then I don't think I'd be able to backup the stock recovery. Maybe root is needed I'm not sure. Things would be an ass ton easier if they'd release the damn stock...

That's what I was attempting do but it wouldn't boot into it. It kept saying failed. I think I tried two different versions of twrp that are posted. Is there a different command line besides "fastboot boot twrp.img" that I need to be using? Or am I missing something else? I unlocked the...

But if I flash twrp, I won't be able to backup the stock recovery correct? So if something goes wrong down the line I won't be able to revert back to compete stock or install ota updates

Did you backup all your stock files before your rooted and installed twrp? If so, which method did you use?

So i combed through the threads and either i missed it or it was removed but i'll ask anyways. So, BND-L24 with unlocked bootloader, no root, no twrp installed. How do I go about backing up my stock files. I tried booting into the twrp image through fastboot and it kept saying "remote connection...

I don't see a description listed so which version are these for?

Dude chill a little man damn. Big deal, things get delayed, **** happens. And there is a rom posted in the rom section of this phone. How could you miss it when you post in almost every thread when anyone talks about rooting their phone. It's right here man...

I'd rather wait for a finished product as opposed to getting a half assed rushed disaster tbh.

Which article says that emui 8 isn't coming out until Q2? Nvm, found it. Checked that thread right after I replied here. Bummer right?!

Gotcha, sorry I can't help ya there man. I don't use whatsapp

If your notifications aren't coming through then you have to go into the notification settings and tune them to your liking. For instance, mine was set to hide all notification content on the lock screen. To going to notifications & status bar > notification management > see if your issue can...

People like to root and mod their own devices for their own reasons but you're right, a lot of the reasons I modded past devices was because the roms almost always ran better than stock but the 7x imho runs great. Used to be kernels for better battery life and such. I like custom roms because I...

Lmao, and that's why I'm not a developer. I just know having the stock image files is important so that when something gets screwed up got have something to fall back on.

My thoughts exactly. Why would they provide they website to unlock the bootloader if that kept ota updates from going through. The only thing that's really holding back the development of this device is Huawei hasn't released the full stock firmware package yet. I have the L24 version so it's...

Guessing this is for the Indian/Chinese version and the bnd-l24 is still sitting on the shelf? And rooting without making a backup isn't usually the smartest thing to do but we all know that. Is there a source this came from by any chance?

Well eventually/hopefully, we'll get some devs to pick up development on the device where twrp, root, and custom roms will let us get our phones to the way we want them. I stayed away from twrp and rooting just for that reason. I just disabled all the crap they added that I don't use

Not a whole lot yet. There is root and twrp for the Chinese/Indian version. The bnd-l24 is still dormant but I read that the root and twrp works there also. Guess everyone is waiting for the oreo update and the full stock official firmware from Huawei. Bootloader can be unlocked on all variants...
