Hi, I'm an happy owner of the Elephone M2 since I bought it.
I've already read on the forum solutions to solve this problem (no lockscreen customization) but it requires rooted device. I've also an Elephone M1 with the same OS and there is a simple option to do that.
Why can't Elephone release a small official update in order to solve little matters like this? I think it's a good deal for customers, also because it's an original firmware lack and not an user misuse.
Sorry for my english, I'm trying to do the best.
PS: Will I ever see an official update for Android 6? I saw a lot of device with the same hardware (or lower too) enjoying the update.
Thank you for answers!

Hi,
Just picked up the Huawei Ascend P7 from the Australian Teleco Optus - trying to understand if there are updates to version 3.0 of EMUI? I cant seem to find much info or any firmware versions relating to this version of the phone I saw the update for Europe for the P7-L10 version? Any assistance would be great as have spoken a few times to Huawei direct and they dont know anything to help!!
Cheers

Hello,
To be honest the phone isn't that good at all, performance is kinda bad, chinese hardware, chinese software, no support for anything.
As far as I've searched on google, theres nothing about P7-L11 EMUI 3.0, sadly.
Even I am trying to exchange this phone for an LG Nexus 5 (older phone, made out of plastic, but higher performance with recent updates)
If I were you I would of gone back to the store and changed it for something more popular, since Huawei's P7 is the first 'flagship' phone introduced in 2014, yet its not popular at all with crappy performance but 'good' build quality (why would u wanna have 2 glass panels that are easily scratchable, and a camera lens thats made out of cheap plastic).
Sorry if I didn't help you very well, I've made the same mistake with this phone
Best regards,
James
Hi guys,
I'd like to talk about huawei state of the scene nowdays. Maybe can be usefull to others.
I have a P10 branded with Italy carrier stuck ant C113 B364 so I started to think to mod this phone. Mainly because of the GPU Turbo that on sheet seems awsome but for what I've read is not so awsome.
The Huawei scene seems dead...very dead, except for openkirin and fromfuture and a custom Kernel. The point is: is Huawei messed things up on purpose to discourage the modding community?
The main thing because I don't consider now an OpenKirin rom is because Camera (it seems is preinstalled in OK rom but I didn't find any review and I don't have time in this period to make a test) and the main thing because I don't consider fROM future is because magisk preinstalled, I never had luck with root hider module, and some bank and nintendo app, don't start with rooted rom.
But If I just want to rebrand go, for example for C342 B387 which is the lastest stock fw, will this prevent me to downgrade later? because my fear is to update to a fw and then have trouble with downgrade...
A thing that I hate is when a brand deny me freedom with my phone, I hate so much, but in this particular period of my life I don't have much time to test and change rom if something goes wrong. Maybe next year, I will have time to mess with custom rom, change it, revert back, as much as I can...
So why the modding community is pretty dead or stuck on B370? what are the issues?
Are there any problem if someone try lastest stock (B387 now)? can we have always the possibility to downgrade to B370? treble? or revert even to nougat?
why gpu turbo is so shi**y?
how huawei is trying to killing the community? and why in your opinion?
I think will be interesting to talk about this, maybe it could help other than me
thank you
Hello.
Yes, i'm thinking that Huawei trying to kill community especially some critics, which they are not satisfied of update process. They don't respond on Facebook, live chat etc. First of all, they blocked servers with bootloader unlocking codes, why ? I don't know, maybe rumors about invigilation have point here - AOSP roms - less control, but this is only my presumptions. Second thing, they blocked servers with software which cause tools like Firmware Finder have limited functionality.
Huawei treat some countries like 3rd world's countries like Poland. We are stucked on B376 build since October, FF shows 4 next builds including GPU Turbo builds but no one got update on phone. Other countries like Germany have B380 active distribution, and BETA test program of Android Pie including beta distribution since few days. Lot of peoples here have branded phones with C738 region, after buing bootloader code for 4$ and debrand, they getting new OTA updates faster and earlier than phones bought in open market ! I know cases where some branded phones have approval for C432 build in FF. That's not funny.
And now the best thing, P10 Lite got updates with November security and GPU Turbo 3 weeks ago! P10 stucked with September Google safety patches. Low-budget phone have much better support here.
Regarding GPU Turbo feature, that's very strange how Huawei made awesome marketing by fixing bug in software. First they limited performance then fixed them to increasing their sale.
Today, i know that i bought my first and last Huawei.
Regards,
Matt.
Thank you @dm1991 it's a nice answer. For me p10 will be the last huawei ever.
Btw now I'd like to discover if its true that there are issue on downgrading from build above b370
Hello there
Newcomer here, greetings from Indonesia. I'm here because I need help with my Z3 (I already posted it). And that phone is probably going to the first time I flashed something to my phone, if there's a solution for it, that is. Been knowing this forum (and sometimes pay a visit when I have problem with my devices) since 2016, back when I need help with my Galaxy Tab 3 Lite and also back when my cousin really into custom rom (doesn't do it that much nowadays tho)
Good Morning,
i have no technical background but using software and Hardware. Keep hardware for a long time.
Joined as I replace with a xperia 1 .
I like the new phone and was happy with the price, but it has a catch.
I purchase a SO-03L Version with a disgustingly infected(couple dozen of stupid unisntalable apps &n services NTT DOCOMA operating system.
I like to use it via the german Vodafon network.
The device is sim UNlocked
I always would liked to use my phone with a selfchosen clean OS and as want to use the chance of the the device to try a custom os ( lineage OS or maybe the Pixel rom).
I am well aware that most Information are most likely already publish within this forum but I yet struggle to gather them to feel confident about flashbooting my precious device.
Anyhow, if anyone could direct me to the right thread or would even be willing to assist me via dm or similar I would appreciate it.

Moin,
curious about how active the community is. After using the phone "branded" by NTT, I still like the hardware, but the spammy and messy OS doesn't spark joy at all + I am struggling to connect to my german vodafone network without further steps.
even tho I did quite a bit of reading into custom forms, I never ever installed flash tool etc in the fear bricking my precious phone Had a fight with my girl and will proof this evening that I am capable of making that phone my phone.
I will gather and sort my steps and publish them here, if it work smoothly it will be documented and if I was a fool and f*** up to follow not even a dozen step manual, I deeply wish some veteran slides into my notifications >oo<

EDIT: JUST CHECKED comments and seems working with emma method so won t work with phones post 2017 ( ITHINK?)
NOTE: MY Last phone died a epic death of touchscreen and I a couldn't recover much data any way. so I did some backup, but it ain t worth a lot.
New Phone new life:-D
I am concerned as in XDA Thread ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/can-i-fash-xperia-1-so3l-to-global-rom.4436503/ )
the SO 03L brought up issues even tho some solve it with"poking the fingerprint sensor")^^
Step 1: Get smooth
Using a Dell xps 14 Win 10 connected to wlan and electricity and the phone is charged by 99%
No SIM no sd card card
USB C cable is proudly "donated" by an SCAN DISK sdd harddrive so should be a decent enough.
Next Step. BACK UP and factory reset
Another check for SIM LOCK issues and note of the IMEI
Back to draft: looking into

###Edit.
Light on the horizon ? S UNLOCK TOOL
Note Link available in the forum, I took it out as the tool requires payment and after reading I ll think it is unnecessary as already available in the forum.
I took a breath and postpone it. Supposedly the shop agreed to refund if I am not happy, but await answer of the forum and local network
Thanks
Friday iam meeting with a workshop to flash the phone.
Recommanationas for a rom
Hey all, I recently get my hand on a Lenovo IdeaPad A10 (S/N UB02130810). Obviously it's quite an old device already, but it's in a really good shape and I may find it quite useful on my daily routine.
However, it's currently running an Android 4.2 and I was curious if there is a way to manually update it/install from scratch any new version, preferably Android 10 I think.
A friend of mine tried to look for something online but couldn't find a definitive answer or solution in how I could do that, so I though I may ask here, I hope I chose the right thread, my first time posting here
