I bought an Optimus One in Dubai and it didn't came with android market (apparently it's blocked over here), so I rooted it and installed the vending.apk manually.
It opens but force close all the time, downloads never start and after a while it force closes... I've tried clearing the data and using market enabler but the problem persists.
Im new on android, anyone can help?
Thanks!
Facing the same problem...
@raguida
Strange coincidence!! I also bought the Optimus One (P-503) from Dubai and facing the same problem of not having Android Market. For some strange reason, SLIDE ME is pre-loaded on the phone... but it cannot hold a candle to Android Market.
Can you walk me through the steps used for rooting it? Also, where did you get the vending.apk from?
Help from the gurus would certainly help leveraging the power of Android.
Thanks!!
Anyone has market running properly on Optimus One?
I've downloaded many vending.apk files the only one that actually installed is attached, but like I said even when it doesn't force close the downloads stuck on "starting download" phase...
Maybe it's not the proper vending.apk for this phone or for froyo... if any user have this phone with market running and can upload the apk it would be great...
To root it was really simple just follow the step by step video on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Good luck and let me know if you have better luck... I suggest you try to install the market before rooting bcs so far rooting the phone didnt help on anything and maybe in the end it's not even necessary...
I downloaded my market.apk from phone. It is actualized to last version. Maybe it will help maybe not. You will see.
Customized sw from Vodafone, Central Europe (LG-P500-V10a)
//EDIT:
What about name of application? Can't be problem here?
Thanks a lot, you version is much newer then the one I was using, unfortunatelly the FC still happens when I try to download or open the downloads tab... or maybe it's because of my version, it's V-10c...
Thanks anyway!

It's strange. Maybe problem is not in application itself. Check it out.
If problem is really in issue that Google's market doesn't support East countries you probably will have to flash one of original-one firmware from another country.
Which version of fw do you have?

It will be fine check if P503 and P500 are same model with different ROMs. If so, then chose your original ROM and flash it into.
It have one problem - lost of warranty.

I've flashed the 10a version on the phone and now the market is running normally, I've lost my nDrive app with Dubai map but downloaded it again from the market and its all set now... Thanks a lot!
Don't want to abuse but there's 2 more questions, the phone is not rooted anymore, can I repeat the 1 click root process? And how can I delete some European apps that come on 10a version such Netlog?
Cheers!

After re-flash you of course lost also rooting, because whole ROM was replaced. For rooting you can use same steps as before you used. (Super One click 1.5.5+ (PC app), z4root (android app), or configure via adb shell)
If is phone rooted, than you are allowed to delete what you want - also pre-installed apps. You can find this apps in /system/app but be careful what are you delete!!
Can somebody confirm this path? I'm not sure about this.

Any reason for selecting the 10A version and not the 10C version? I read here that the 10A version has a bug and the user was being recommended 10C.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850312
Any problems being noticed by you subsequent to the flashing? Also, does the IMEI number get wiped out after flashing?

Because it seems, that A,B,C aren't older or newer version, but only country modification. But nobody knows, what is true.
Discuss about this you can find here.
I think that possibility of different language (country) versions can be likeliest.

I've chosen 10a bcs mine was already showing 10c, but I think it was a modified version of 10c (without market), anyway 10a is working fine. Does the 10c version come with nDrive or you also had to download it again?
Have you noticed any missing apps from your previous version to this 10c you installed? Also there are any new apps other them market there?
Cheers,

If you choose the right FW the installation works well and within a few minutes. If you choose a wrong FW the installation stops with an error. So there is no risk.
I haven't the permission to post a screen shot. It should be the BLA-L29C605B133 2018.03.22 Full-ota. Check Firmware Access with imei.

it only means that the firmware is not yet rolling out for your device but it can now be installed to the variant you are using. you can now install that firmware. regarding the brightness issue try this, go to dev options and look for "Increase readability under sunlight" switch it off, its on by default that fixed my brightness issue. im using a regular mate 10 (ALP-L29)
Friends, if the firmware is not approved in FirmwareFinder we can only download and do not install??
Hi All,
I'm having a bit of an issue. I updated from KangVIP 127 to 130, however upon doing so my mobile data is disabled, I reverted back to build 127 and it's still disabled. I tried searching for others with this issue or solutions and was having trouble finding anything of worth.
Entering the mobile network settings menu, immediately boots me back out to the main settings menu. I figure Ill likely have to do a backup and hard reflash, but I was hoping someone else had ideas.
What device? What version is your stock firmware? From what I experienced, KangVIP 130 needs stock firmware B135 for Mate 10 ALP-L29.
To get back to stock, just turn on OTA updates in KangVIP, connect to wifi, then download latest full firmware from Firmware Finder that's approved for your IMEI.

Using the OTA will revert you back to stock so root is gone but bootloader will stay unlocked.
Hi,
I've noticed the issue and it started to annoy me
When I get the phone to landscape position it does not auto-rotate.
It was working previously, but I don't know when exactly it stopped and what could cause it.
I have tried to restart the phone, to wipe the cache partition, to restore factory settings - nothing helped.
Is this known issue or should I ask for service and hardware repair?
It's happening with my Huawei P20 Lite ANE-LX1 8.0.0.146(C461).

Until now it's just you who reported the issue here, a few questions before you go for service repair:
Since when do you have your phone?
Did it fell sometimes?
Are you using a custom ROM or the original one from Huawei?
And of course I had to ask even though it's obvious, do you have auto-rotate option ON or OFF?
Cheers,
AS

Let's answer one by one
I've purchased it brand new one month ago (9-Nov-18).
It never fell nor bumped hard.
I'm using original Huawei ROM.
Auto-rotate is ON, of course

Good morning
I have some news for you, there is a current problem with also a person with problems on the compass (sensor for rotation) @Rondrey, and I can see your versions are the same.
So before you guys send your phone to warranty I suggest the following:
Either downgrade to the previous version of the EMUI or wait for another update from OTA.
To install or downgrade official software please look into this thread/guide by @kilroystyx:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-lite/how-to/rom-official-emui-8-0-huawei-p20-lite-t3773999
So either you guys wait for the latest update 8.0.0.147 on build C461 of your country and see if it fixes it or downgrade to 8.0.0.145 or 8.0.0.144 using a dload package (step 7 of the guide of kilroystyx).
Kindly,
AS

Should be fixable by software, it's Huawei's fault obviously altough right now, the only thing you can do to make it work is either having a custom ROM to see if works alright which it should if it doesn't try custom kernels and check if it works out
Else you need to downgrade to a version which was working before.

I was able to download the huawei pie full update zip and data from FF and how do i flash it using fstboot, do i just flash the system or do i have to flash all the partitions within the update.app as its changing to pie from oreo and what are the commands to flsh the partitions, nit sure if it will flash as it is still unapproved and bootloader might deny flashing it i am not sure, any ideas.
I was able to install the ff firmware using beta flashy 0.2 tool and all is well.

Did it wipe all your data?. Hopefully not.
I got the official update on my mate 10 pro
The version is 9.0.0.159
The downside is the camera app seems unstable, and crashes every so often..

Sorry to revive such an old post but wanted to ask you how you used the flashy tool. Did you drop the 2 pie files into the "zips here" folder? Did you need to unzip the pie update files? Another post mentioned unzipping but maybe that was because it was a p20. Did you use the beta pie files or actual non beta files? Has it been able to get normal updates ota since then? Thank you
