if i flash a modem firmware with my current custom rom.
And then if i clean flash another rom after that should I need to flash modem firmware again or the modem firmware will stay with my device???
If that stay in my device then what i have to do to remove it in future if i need to.
Also tell about kernel???
What is black screen kernel???
If i flash it what kind of changes come in my device???
Heyyo, modem firmware is separate from your ROM so there is no need to worry about reflashing.
The kernel is essentially the interface between the hardware and Android. Some are built for performance, battery saving or a balance between them.
Blackscreen Kernel is currently the most optimized kernel with a little more emphasis on performance than battery saving. It is built for Nougat ROMs and there's a bunch of ROMs that actually include it already such as BlackX, Slimroms, 1nfrag's AICP builds, Andr68rus's Dirty Unicorn builds and his Paranoid Android builds. Custom ROMs require a compatible ramdisk for Blackscreen kernel to work so it isn't guaranteed that ROMs without it included will be compatible.

All you need to do is reflash whichever version of modem firmware reflects the EUI ROM version your phone came with.
For example, my x829 came with NA 16s so I'd flash NA 16s modem firmware.
I haven't seen any need to revert to a worse modem firmware though as newer ones have improved my signal reliability plus fingerprint reader performance when the device is asleep.

Hi.
My device came with "Indian 16S", but the fingerprint function was not very responsive. Updated to Indian 19S and the fingerprint become very responsive, but only for 5 days, so it became poor responsive. Tried calibrate, add new fingerprint, but after and after these processes, it became like "dead" (no response at all -- even a vibration; nothing). "Fabric Restore" the ROM did not change the situation, and update to Chinese 23S and Chinese 26S did not turn the fingerprint sensor back to life. So I tried the "QFIL process", but even with the DEV ROM, nothing happens to capture the fingerprint. So i installed TWRP to change ROM (the DEV ROM does not update with any update.zip stock ROMs - "corrupted file" error) to Indian 16S again, and updated - by "update.zip" file (now it works) -- to 19S again. The device still not capture any fingerprint, but it's not completely dead, but a sort of crazy, because if the "tap to shoot" function is enable, the camera app shoot -- "automagically" -- photos like a crazy gunner...
What can I do? Is anything that I can can do to get the fingerprint sensor "normal" again? My device is with the 19S Indiam ROM again and the modem is ".2.0c1.9-00033-M8996FAAAANAZM-1" -- (is the 00"033" version?)
Can i change for another better modem version? Maybe the fingerprint sensor became less "sensible" and capture fingerprints again -- and not shoot photos "automatically"...
Best regards.

You can always try a different version sure! Modem firmware developer 466D might be the newest one
https://yadi.sk/d/woKdrlRrv8yhr/Для разработчиков
Otherwise it seems thus far modem firmware 23s, 26s and 28s are all the same for the latest stable

I had no success. Installed "466D_V.00050" modem zip file on TWRP, restarted, confirmed the new modem version on "About the Device / Base Band", but the fingerprint sensor on fingerprint register application still unsresponsive. I also installed "CN_26S_V.00033", same result. So, I installed again the "466D_V.00050" only to test if a new Stock ROM subscribes that. I updated (update.zip process) the 19S Indian ROM with the CN 26S ROM, and yes, the modem version turned to the CN 26S version (MPSS.TH.2.0.c1.9-00033-M8996FAAAANAZM-1) -- without any modification on the fingerprint malfunctioning.
If I had any updates about the fingerprint problem, I'll update it with a new reply on this topic.
Thanks.
Best regards.
Ah darn! Hmm I'm not too sure then sorry friend... I remember seeing a topic before where a dude had the same issue and ended up replacing the fingerprint reader hardware and got it working so sadly you might have to do that or even maybe opening it up and reseating it?
I'd check for that thread or research the price of the part plus a suction cup to take the screen off and replacement adhesive tape there's also some videos on YouTube for opening up the Le Max 2 with a heat gun or hair dryer that's what I had to do to replace my screen before but I've never done any other hardware swaps yet
I am still using modern firmware of INDIAN 19s.
I am unable to make carrier Video call everything else works fine.
Is flashing CN 26s modern firmware is gonna help??? ( Because my device is Indian x821)
I am checked carrier video calling with LINEAGE OS, MOKKIE, AOSP EXTENDED not worked with any one of these and currently i am using Pixel Experience Rom and carrier video call still not working .
Please Help.
Thanks.
Which modem firmware is the latest, 466D or 30s?
Pls send the link also, thanx.
In XDA-Developers every code builders finding solutions for Mate 9 but there is nothing for Mate 9 Pro (LON) versions.
I am opening this thread if someone give a hand to resolve downgrading problem Oreo Beta to Offical Nougat.
In Mate 9 forum @mankindtw build HWOTA 8 solution for MHA versions. Probably people will suggest me to use FunkyHuawei thing. But PayPal and BitCoin payment methods are not working in my country because of acredition at banking system.
So if any developer can support M9 Pro, it's too much appriciated for me.

It's possible while you are in stock recover via Firmware Finder. Just you need to find which stock ROM works for your device. None of Rollback Roms worked with me.
Yep! I'm also waiting for this! Hope a solution comes soon

Probably @mankindtw preparing a solution. He made the old HWOTA system and nowadays keeps silence. It's my guess, waiting for the official ROM release date.
@duraaraa I have a spesific problem. I'm using Huawei Mate 9 Pro. Bootloader unlocked, Oeminfo file belongs to orginal LON-AL00C00B225 but system running under Oreo 8.0.0.323 C636 log. It is sometimes running and sometimes don't.
I tried to downgrade Oreo to Nougat but it wasn't possible by Firmware Finder (special thanks to @gmanrainy for kind interest) or @mankindtw 's solutions. Probably file structure is different on Oreo, that could be reason for not downgrading.
Anyway, I know you are also moderating FunkyHuawei webpage. Is it possible for my situation to rebrand C636 and install LON-L29C636B235 version? Your payment methods not working in my country so I'l figure it out somehow. But I clearly wanted to learn if it is really work for me.

Yes, it's possible. But I would need to look into which package you need to install. You'd probably need to use FHRebrandTool to fix the branding correctly.

It's not problem to use it. I already downloaded tools but looking forward for your answer. Thank you.
I successfully rebranded my phone to LON-L29C636 via your stock OEMINFO file. Now phone is in bootloop.
I am really wondering that is FunkyHuawei able to install B235 Nougat firmware. I'll share all details who are looking solution to downgrade Oreo to Nougat.

You'd need to flash the Oreo firmware with FHUnbrickTool if it's not booting. Or you can re-unlock the bootloader. Probably issue is you used the tool with unlocked bootloader and a modified partition somewhere, I'm guessing.
You might also be able to use eRecovery method with Android O firmware. Downgrading to N will need to be done AFTER you have it booting in Android O.
I can't monitor this thread well, so you should email FH support if you need help.
EDIT: I apologize. I thought you were using FH tools. Apparently not. Yes, FH can fix your phone, to answer your question from before. There is no other solution for M9Pro right now.

I wrote an email on 23th but there is no answer from FHteam. Anyway my phone now is totally bricked. Opening in error mode. Error no 13 with no image. As you know I tried to downgrade from Oreo to Nougat.
Can we fix it and install the original Chinese edition on my phone? No problem if it would be Oreo or Nougat.
I'm going to try to buy credits from a different way, because PayPal is not working in my area.

@duraaraa I want to thank FunkyHuawei team for responding very fast this time. We were online together.
I think my device hard bricked and I'll try everything to access fastboot mode. I always have bootloop and error mode continously. Key combinations don't work. Only power key, but it doesn't shuts down the phone, it always restarts. I was really expecting a downgrade solution from @mankindtw like he did for Mate 9 before. But he didn't and now device is hard bricked. Before an Oreo installation they need to warn people about there is no return.
No problem. I believe we will save my M9 Pro together. Thank you in advance and I'll stay in touch.

I had neccesary testpoint and get board firmware. There is no problem anymore but anyway thank you in advance brother.
I used Firmware Finder and it did the job. I downgraded from LON-L29C432B368 to LON-L29C432B229. You need to select FullOTA-MF-PV version.
Being a no good dirty cheater, I'm a big fan of Game Guardian and I use it with great success on my HTC U11 phone. I recently discovered that it can be used without root, by using a virtualization environment such as Parallel Space or VirtualXposed. As I haven't rooted my M5 (SHT-09), I downloaded Parallel Space and GG and got it all running. However, I've found that I cannot make any edits to game memory space from within GG.
The are a number of posts on the GG forum suggesting that there is a bug (or security feature) in many Huawei device cores / firmware that relates to the implementation of the ptrace system function call. Something in the firmware seems to prevent the GG process from modifying the child process memory space using PTRACE_POKETEXT or PTRACE_POKEDATA.
The suggestion of the developer of GG is to "change the firmware so that there the ptrace system call works normally".
Anyone aware of this "feature" of Huawei device firmwares? Is there / could there be a solution to modify the firmware to "fix" this behaviour?
I saw you posted on my thread. Thanks for that. I wanted to see whether flashing a different kernel like Serenity would help. But i doubt it. Might be worth a try. Would have loved to know that beforehand. :/ Any other ideas? What I am seeing is that it needs a competent developer to recode the Kernel. I would then flash that patch. Other than that it is defined as unfixable. That we'd have to change the device. :/
It's the main reason that I haven't rooted / unlocked the bootloader, as running GG is pretty much all I use root for on other devicxes. And the fact that rooting / boot unlock kills Widevine level 1 support, which is madness on a 2k device like the M5. Wouldn't want Netflix streaming SD content only.
From what I understand, which isn't much, the issue is buried deep down in the kernel. Not sure if a custom kernel would solve the problem or not. Knowing XDA, I'm sure someone will be crazy enough to try it at some point in the future!

Yeah I get that, but some games dont have a cloud feature. Making parallel space useless. Plus I appreciate some other root features. I have a note 8 which should work GG without root, but I'll see how it goes. Oh really, I'm a big time stream fan. I havent tried Netflix with root yet . Should still work tho. I think. Hmm well, problem is all kernels are made for devices like the mate 10 or the P20. Not sure if they will work with the M5, wouldn't want to brick after all the trouble. [Edit, found the nextflix module apk. Can flash that with Magisk. Makes it work again ]

Alright guys, I found this out today (I'm also Kr1msonReaper on GG forums);
Huawei kernel prevents GG from working in Android Oreo HOWEVER-- If you downgrade to Android Nougat, I find that it works perfectly. Hope this helps!
Just a note, when you are, of course, debloating Nougat, make sure to disable Huawei system update app so you don't find yourself in Oreo the next day.

How do you downgrade to nougat? Any reason not to do it? And will I retain root ?
I actually like Nougat more than Oreo as it fixes issues such as the ptrace error and seems to have more battery optimization. It's been a long time since I downgraded to Nougat and since then I got a new phone but here's the tutorial I followed. @mrmazak has helped me out of se sticky situations and his tutorials have never failed me. https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/guide-honor-7x-flash-oreo-update-t3781649/amp/
I believe you will lose root but you can easily flash magisk again after installing the downgrade package.
Hope this helped!

I am not sure this would work on the Huawei mediapad m5 tablet. As far as I can tell it never had a nougat firmware to rollback too. I looked for sht-w09 and the all the files appear to be for Android 8 and none for 7 nougat. Unless I am missing something??
Other than they locked out ptrace stuff and that it appears unlikely to get Android 9 in the US for my mode l its a pretty good tablet. Maybe I should just sell it and move on to a tab s6 that can be rooted.

Hey! You're right I couldn't seem to find a nougat downgrade. On the bright side, I did find a Pie update for your model. Who knows, maybe ptrace will be fixed in that version?

hello,
since the Honor 9 isnt getting any security fixes anymore what can we do
about the BlueFrag security hole?
https://www.andreafortuna.org/2020/...-critical-bluetooth-vulnerability-in-android/
It seems right now the only chance would be phussons android 10 GSI
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/how-to/android-10-t3993461
since there are no Custom Android 9 or 10 ROMS with latest Google Security Fixes - correct?
If someone figures out how to bypass the bootloader that huawei put, then we can start doing this roms thing, until then, unfortunate people like me are stuck at a locked bootloader.
Well i can technically do the whole process of flashing my board again using dc unlocker and then unlocking my bootloader while I'm at it, but that's too much hassle, man, plus you need some money to spare. It's not worth it anymore unless you absolutely have to, I'm just happy with a working phone lol

Nope, u have to pay for it, and yeah, i'm waiting for them to find an exploit on the security that huawei put in their gpu turbo update, bec. that's the root of our problem, i heard that if you downgrade to a non-turbo firmware, it's gonna brick your device, so might as well be patient until the guys at dc phoenix figures out how to read bootloader codes on emui9.
Also I saw that openkirin has hw buttons fixed, i think it's the capacitive buttons fix that people often lose bec. of installing twrp, so i'm excited for that day that we can install openkirin roms

Hi, I'm looking for a way to install gms on huawei p50 series European version, especially p50 pocket. I tried several methods, but all require or a downgrade, quindo you must necessarily own a p40 series or in any case in previous model that has come out of the factory with previous versions of emui, or a Chinese version of the device with harmony OS installed is required or finally to convert your device to a Chinese version, but for this procedure a downgrade to emui 11 or 10 is still required, which as mentioned before is impossible for the p50 series. Obviously huawei does not provide codes for unlocking the bootloader, so I am looking for an alternative way. As soon as a method for installation is found, it will be posted here. If you have medotes kindly post them
As far as I know P50 x started with EMUI 12. That's why you will not find a ROM to downgrade.
It seems that there is a custom ROM out for the pro but not for the pocket.
I just made another thread in this subforum to ask if someone can confirm that P50 harmony OS checks the phone model and refuses to run on the global version. Otherwise looking for HarmonyOS stock ROM and installation via TWRP could be an option.

The basic problem is that huawei does not allow unlocking the bootloader, not providing more codes since 2018. If you know alternative methods to unlock the bootloader, then install twrp and flash rom, you could write them here and I will be happy to try them
I state that I'm looking for solutions for native installation of gms, so 'gspace' or other emulation apps will not be good

How can I convert my p50 pocket eu to Chinese version? I tried several methods but with poor results
I think it's not possible for P50x.
It appears that in opposite to P40x they check now the smartphone model so that China ROM won't be available to install for an EU modell.

Yes, I knew. To convert the smartphone to Chinese version you need to downgrade to emui 10, which however you can not run on p50x as their factory os is emui 12.
That's why I opened this discussion to search or work on medotes for the native installer of gms on p50x eu.
Thank you for your reply.
