Hi guys. I'm going probably to buy an Honor 9 soon. Since I'm completely new to EMUI (coming from Samsung and HTC), in which way can I install/do the following things?
0) Bootloader unlock;
1) TWRP;
2) Magisk;
3) Xposed Framework.
I read about some kind of encryption of internal data partition, so I don't know how properly move with this new device. Thanks!!

Are you really too damn lazy to read the existing threads on this device? It's not like there's a lot of development threads for you to go to the bother of reading through.
If you particularly want a phone for modding then this is definitely NOT the right one, do yourself a favour and buy something like a OnePlus which has serious dev support.

That's why I asked for, I didn't find much for starting with modding with this particular OS. Anyway, I'm sorry.

Huawei devices don't like modding
1. U need be registered on Huawei web site for unlocking code...
2. TWRP is not fully working some problems with encryption or something like that.
3. If u will search arround couple people have rooted phones with Magisk (if I good remember small advice is, right after formating phone flash Magisk. I recommend to search
4. Xposed... don't know, try and leave results

Am I missing it or are there instructions to root and instructions for multi-boot but no ROM for the LG G Vista, please?
I've searched and read through a bunch of threads but nada ... so far.
Will any of the ROMs for other LG G-series phones work?
Thanks!
Wait ... I just looked in About phone and it says this is a VS880.
I just got this from Verizon.
I'm seeing the VS880 referred to as a G2 and a G3 on the Internet - what is it really, please?
It came with Android 4.4.2, kernel version 3.4.0+, and our son rooted it for me earlier today.
Just in case any of those details help ...

They are the same thing. One is the internal name while the other is normal users name of the device. As for roms make sure to do your reading up as the device is pretty locked down.
So, you are saying that there is no ROM anywhere for the LG G Vista/VS880?
Is there any reason to believe that anyone is actively developing one?
There are so many sites touting Rooting as a pathway to loading a ROM it seems odd there there is not one.

It takes more then root. You need an u locked bootloader or a way to bypass a locked bootloader like safestrap or bump. Most developers that make roms only make them for devices they own.
The bootloader bypass has been solved:
http://www.unlock-bootloader.info/mp3-0/lg-g-vista-6569.html
The LG G Vista/VX880 is "free" on Verizon with the $16/mo Edge data plan & has a nice big display.
I have my Samsung Tab4 7" tablet for sale as I don't need it now that I have the LG G Vista/VX880.
There are ROMs for the models all around the LG G Vista/VX880 - it's hard to believe that LG made that phone so radically different from the others that tweaking an existing ROM to port it would be beyond a developer.
Sure wish I had the skills ... sigh.
It's not really that. It's most developers seldom do ports. Let alone for devices that don't have. After looking at the spec is not a bad mid range device. But also remember that. Most carriers in the world are GSM carriers and very few work on cdma devices.
There are plenty of Tuts on how to port. Could be something you could look into

Modified request: Is there an app/hack that strips-out all of the Google stuff, especially their backdoors & data-leeching?
If no one is going to build a custom mod - which seems apparent - it sure would be good to have a clean machine onto which to then install carefully selected apps.

Simple answer is no. You would have to build a rom from source and then remove alot of the Google based code. There is a project that is working on it but you lose alot of functionality.

Not completely no. Many have been trying over the years. Your biggest issue is the device your using. Once that is taken care of you can try and build something but like I said alot of the stuff is built directly into the os.
To be honest privacy is an illusion at best now a days. Every thing monitors what you do. From credit cards to social net networking. It is all made to get as much info as it can about a person. Even carriers do it. It has even come to light that Verizon can monitor the apps installed on a device.

Many Many hours wasted on Google,Bing,ect. I haven't found anything. I have seen where some people refer to this as the same as a G2 And others but it's clearly not. But yeah wish someone would put something out. Agreed. I have however figured out how to get Viper4Android and Dolby Atmos to work. So if anyone is interested in knowing how that's done hit me up. All you have to have is root. NO custom recovery. Haven't seen a post on how to do that either? I still have 8 more to go before I can post lol.

Hello, all! I'm using a castoff tablet (nonprofits cut costs at all costs), and need to update the browser. I'll do research, of course, but I thought I'd set up a new account here first so that I might ask the experts. What say you? Many thanks...

You can't update the browser unless you root the device. If you just root it, the OS is so old you may not find a browser that will run on it. You really need to update the OS with a new ROM.
This is the 8gb model, right? Reports are that the limited RAM makes anything past KitKat (CM 11) problematic. I have posted some older ROMs :https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-tablet/general/cm-10-11-nook-8-gb-tablet-t3570821
I'd recommend a pico GApps package from opengapps.org for the CM 11 ROMs. There is a GApps package I included with one of the ROMs which was posted along with it originally, but I think it would be better not to overload the system. A pico package will basicallyy get you PlayStore access and nothing else (not even Gmail). Then you can add whatever you want (and not have what you don't want busy in the background).
If you want to try for Lollipop (CM 12.1), I have the file. Let me know.
Thank you! I was mistaken; the model is BNTV250...which, I gather, is the 16G.
I've researched rooting, and it appears that an SD card is usually required. There is little - meaning no - money to spend here, so I've also looked into other methods...such as kingroot. I'm a risk-taker, but I know so little about all of this.
"I have posted some older ROMs (see general section above this one) and you could try one of those. I'd recommend a pico GApps package from opengapps. If you want to try for Lollipop (CM 12.1), I have the file. Let me know." Beg pardon?

OK. The 16 gb is much better in terms of what's available and up-to-date. I have one and am using the AOSP 7.0 ROM (instructions for installation here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-tablet/general/how-to-installing-aosp-android-7-0-t3578665).
Don't be fixated on root. It is not going to solve your issues with updating the browser because the B&N Android version underneath all their stuff is 2.3. Current Android OS is 7.1 so......... You can see that finding a browser (or other apps) for the older system is not going to be easy and the results will be less than thrilling.
The safest way is flashing a ROM using an SD card (rooting is generally part of the package). I'd be very careful about kingroot. It may or may not work, but in any case you'd still be stuck on Android 2.3.
Maybe you can borrow an SD card?
Edit: but maybe you do just want to root and see if you can find a browser that will be better. In that case there is a simple guide somewhere in this forum, but it does require the use of an SD card

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?

I just got a Mate 10 and I wanted to know the state of the phone before touching anything: just a quick summary.
Do you have to unlock the bootloader to install stuff like TWRP? I wanted to at least root it to install Titanium Backup and remove a bit of bloatware. If so, can anyone share the latest tutorial? I've seen lots of them but I don't really know which one is up to date
Is it advised to install a custom ROM or is EMUI good enough? I was previously using a Redmi Note 3 with MIUI.
Is it known if this phone will get Android Q by any chance? Just curious
Thanks!!

Well, for me EMUI is very ok. I have a Mate 9 and Mate 10 Pro.
I used to flash custom ROMs on weekly basis (LG G2, G3, V10 & G5). Maybe it's laziness or the volatile nature of Kirin SoC and its difficulty in flashing but I've decided against doing it.
Bottom line is that I'm more than happy with EMUI especially 9

First question
-yes you have to unlock the bootloader in order to root phone( not recommended if you not sure what you doing because of very easy hard brick possibilities)
Second
-custom rom or Emui that is up 2 you, you like or don't like Emui and
Third
- Android Q is far far far away so IMO that is highly unlikely
Thanks!
I'll stick to EMUI, it's great so far and I don't want to mess anything up.

I am not an expert but I don`t think this is possible. They use different snapdragon model and probably bootloader is very different. As far as I understand there are two levels of bootloader, check installation instractions of Omni rom just to understand what I am talking about. Until twrp is released we can just flash roms that way but I am afraid developers don`t want to develop roms in this state.
Thanks for the quick response guys, much respect.....
I can see the logic in what you saying. Different processor, hence different coding.
I've got another related question,
in the 7 pro forums quite a lot of roms are installed via magisk. Couldn't that be implemented on the 7t Pro or is it an issue with dynamic partitions again?

The processor doesn't really matter much as far as I know. 855+ is just an overclocked version of 855, hardware is identical.
As far as I'm aware, treble roms should work on any device with treble so I don't think the kernel mattete as you use your already existing one.
I'm new to this also, so I'm might be completely wrong.
