It is time for you to make a decision. → Note: The Bootloader must stay openin every case, or you loose the necessary changes

it's possible lock bootloader after install Stock Base A or B and patch?

Relocking the bootloader triggers Factory reset - which should remove all the changes made. In case (b) you even risk a brick.

Why do you prefer Bootloader locking?
If you want to be open for future OTA upgrades, choose (a) and be aware that unlocked bootloader does not prevent OTA - this has been repeated through many threads and there are tons of users (me too, many times with Nougat and one time here with Oreo, OTA Patch 01) who had unlocked bootloaders and were still able to receive and install OTA - only root or custom ROMs prevent OTA or may cause bricking.

Locked bootloader does not affect GPay, etc, hence the inconvenience is (only) in the boot screen showing an 'untrusted' phone.

As @zgfg said - if you lock the Bootloader (which triggers a lowlevel wipe Factory reset) you loose every setting for mobile network, NFC, etc....
Locked Bootloader is only possible on original EVA-AL10 (but not on rebranded)

New Topic: Push Notifications and Notifications on Lockscreen on Stock Firmware:



@zgfg reported following:
"There are problems with notifications (on locked screen). Running Blue Mail on both L09 Nougat (MR v4) and L19=AL10 Oreo (b528)
L09 pings me, AL10 not. Even when I unlock and open Blue Mail, it takes time. I've tried Launch combinations, no full proof solution
People also complained on XDA, P9, Oreo Experience"

→ Chinese firmware has different default settings than European firmware. For the notifications to work, two changes are required:
1) Open Settings /Battery - click on settings symbol above on the right - you will see:
"Keep WLAN on when sleeping" = While charging → change this to: Always

2) Open Settings /Wireless & networks /Mobile network - ADVANCED - you will see:
"Mobile data always on" = disabled → change this to: enabled

3) If you change a Theme → keep always Magazine Unlock. Only this enables notifications on Lockscreen
4) Open Settings /Apps & notifications /Notifications & status bar → check out the right settings for you

I hope, it helps...

I remade everything with new nonRoot method and notification started working with this new method ROM looks supper clean
Thank you @Tecalote :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the tip - I'm still using your 'old/original' rebranding method for b528 but applied this tip for notifications on the locked screen and it works

It will probably consume more battery while idle (forcing connections to keep alive), closer to Nougat - but we'll see.

Themes screenhot - when you allow to keep Magazine Unlock, it seesms it will force dynamic Magazine Unlock photos for the locked screen (showing date in Chinese).
You can later re-apply your own wallpaper for the locked screen, notifications will still work.

Notifications Settings screenshot - I tried also by switching on Pulse Notification light but LED does not flash

PS: In deep sleep (leave P9 to rest for 15-30 minutes), notifications (e.g. Blue Mail) come but after several minutes

Wolud huawei realese oreo for global or it will be only for china

Wolud huawei realese oreo for global or it will be only for china

As per all available info from other threads and links to external sources - No, only for China.
On EUmarket they want you to spend mony and but a new phone if Oreo is a must for you.
It' s maybe not a decision by Huawei itself, but forced by EU mobile operators - they mostly sell phones on contract, and on the other side, vendor can not prepare OTA upgrades without their endorsement

So if you really want Oreo, spend 4 Euros for Bootloader code and join the rebranding band-wagon

Does GPay work?

@dbesoli
Does GPay work?

Ok, I'm now on Oreo but GPay refuses to work. It says, this phone has been rooted or modified and can't be trust to payments. Still not rooted. I will try Magisk when I've some time. On the other side, my bank app has validated the credit card. I will test it tonite in some restaurant and I will tell

Magisk / Hide: GPay, NFC Service - maybe will help

Or try the trick with second user account as in post #4

It's very strange, GPay refuses to pay but using one of my banks apps as payment method it worked yesterday. When I'd tested this before with custom roms all payment methods weren't working.

I think I will try when have time to use the 'A' way and test GPay, and if not works back to 'B' and Magiskl.
What do you think?

I would say, wait and leave it first.
If the other banks apps are working, it's better than they don't.
For GPay I have good ideas. I will write you PM after this weekend.
I think it's, because Playstore is not certified (look Playstore /menu /settings - after PlayProtect) BTW: Disable PlayProtect.
There's integrated Antivirus in Phonemanager.
Tell me, if Playstore is certified /uncertified
