Update 535 C00 has been pushed officially

If your HiCare region is not set to China, set it to China, then search for an update either in HiCare or Settings -> Update. You will then be eligible for the push.
Haven't tried other Asian regions, but it wasn't pushing to my device with Europe set in HiCare.
Speed, battery life and network performance seem to be significantly improved.

Thank you,
works very well your tip.

Hey Friends,
I used FirmwareFinder to download the 3 OTA-MF (not FullOTA-MF) files.
Is it possible to install the update with TWRP and HuRUpdater without loosing any data and without the need to reinstall all installed apps?

I'd also like to know this.
Also, if the bootloader locks again when doing/flashing an update, can the same old unlock code be used or do I have to request a new code?
Thx

Today I received the update 8.0.0.555.
After all these Years there are still Updates

Hi Letschky! How are you?
I'm still using the Honor Note 8 and love the size.
I was on B538 happily but something happened. I had to relock and unlock the bootloader (To write a new recovery. Seems after a few years it relocks while still showing "unlocked" in fastboot. So weird.) and I didn't know it would factory reset the thing. Then I couldn't unlock the bootloader because Find My Phone got turned on somehow, and the thing was bootlooping. So frustrating.
Anyway. There doesn't seem to be a way to get back to B538 anymore. Hisuite Proxy doesn't work for me. Have you tried it? With official Hisuite you can go to B359 and B528 then B539. I couldn't root B539 so had to settle for B528.
Now I'm contemplating updating all the way to B555 or whatever the newest is, and try to extract the boot.img and patch it with magisk. The only problem is, how the hell do I get a hold of boot.img? It seems TWRP for Oreo broke after B53X somewhere. They must have switched to a different partition configuration.
Now I'm on B528 and battery life isn't great but I did get root and xposed to work.
I can't figure out where official Hisuite is downloading the firmware update. Do you know? It's not in /data/media/0/HwOUC/ which some people report.
Cheers! /Mike

Short version: Are you running 555 rooted? May I ask how?
Thank you so much.

Patched Boot.img via Magisk
I added the Patched Boot img.
Unpack with Winzip and flash via Fastboot
fastboot flash ramdisk magisk_patched-25205_hnSnL.img
For me works root without any Problem.

You sir are a life saver! Is this on 555?
I would like to share something I found with you, if I get it to work on 555. On B538 I used a custom stock rom wanmei, and in it there's a config app called Mobile. There are TONS of features but for me only ONE feature that's been really freaking useful to me. It's to disable the temp sensor. It enables full speed charging. Stock charging often slows down to 1200mA but with this it blasts 2700mA until 80% (I use BatteryChargeLimit anyway to stop at 80-85%). I've been charging like this for years and no battery degradation. That's why I want to stay on B528 or B538 where this app works. I want to try it on B555 too.
Also. I have found that the default CPU governor isn't "interactive" on the slower cores. Only on the faster ones. Setting this to "interactive" gives a nice battery and speed boost compared to performance/conservative/ondemand. This app Mobile can set the governnor too. Mobile requests root access upon first launch. I hope it works on 555 too, after I extract it from the system/app on my B528. I remember after B538 it became a PAID app. You had to pay the developer like 20 usd to activate it. Sneaky. Anyway, I have the free one I can share with you.

Here they are if you're interested.
These are all the custom folders I could find in system/app. The app itself is only the Hwsystemmobile folder but I don't know if it has dependencies in the other ones.
Been using this for years. Took me a long time to translate. The setting I love is at the bottom of the screenshot. ”核心温控“ turn that on. From the main menu you first need to enter the sub page ”其他功能“ (other functions).
In ”其他功能“ you can also set the cpu governor etc.

Yes for 555.
Have you a Link or can upload the wanmei rom?

It actually works to flash this over a stock B528 even though it's meant for B538. The system remains B528 but Mobile works normally without bugs. I've used it for a week now as a daily driver.
It's possible to revert to B528 using official Hisuite. Gotta go to B359 first.
Let me know if you manage to get anything to work. I used to get 8h screen on time on B538. I miss that. With B528 I seem to get like 5h. Terrible.
How's 555?

Other features Mobile has are things like enabling VoLTE, enabling RAM compression, gaming modes, hiding status/nav bars, disabling automatic updates, etc.

I do seem to have more free RAM on B528. I never saw 2.4GB free on B538 but on B528 I did. I'd still take the better battery if I had to choose one.

ok thank you, (Downloading)which Twrp to use to install this Rom?The is Multilanguage?

555 is not bad,i use it since the Update..4,5 Hours SOT in almost three days of use

Ok i flash directly via DLOAD Method from 555 to 528.The next Update is 539 and not 538.You say it works on 528?Works this rom on 539?

Hi! I live in China so sorry for the late reply.
You flash that wanmei firmware in fastboot. There's a bat file (to run the bat you need to set windows language settings "Non-unicode" programs default language = Chinese simplified). Yeah it works on B528. I don't know how but it works. I'm using it since a few days.
In B539 if you try to flash it fails when flashing system.img. I suspect the names of the partitions changed around B539. Boot.img is flashed to "ramdisk" now, not boot. This is also why twrp doesn't work right I think.
Are you using a working twrp in 555? I tried flashing one oreo twrp.img dated July 2018 (the newest I could find) and it can't get write access. The log is just full of errors.

4.5h SOT on 555 oh nooo. I'll still try it and see what I get. If this is really the case i'll pay a chinese shop to get me back to B538. They said they can.
How about available RAM? After a reboot, can you see more than 2.0GB free in Recent Apps?

How do I upgrade from an rooted and unencrypted OOS 5.0.4 to OOS 9.0.5?

So recently I've been thinking of upgrading my phone from Oreo to Pie now that it is available and has had a few updates.
Now I haven't updated my phone in a while. The last time was around the summer of 2018. The OxygenOS version my 3T currently is running is 5.0.4 and my TWRP is on version 3.2.3-0.
A while back I was using the custom ROM 'FreedomOS' (for anyone that still remembers) but that ROM hit it's EOL point last year.
After FreedomOS went EOL I switched to stock ROM following this guide to stay decrypted: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/disable-dm-verity-force-encryption-op3t-t3688748
Since I switched back to stock I haven't touched the system or recovery at all besides updating Magisk now and then.
Now the question I'm having is how do I update my phone to the latest Pie version of OxygenOS? Which is version 9.0.5 as of writing this post.
Preferably I would like to upgrade with a dirty flash to keep my data (if I run into issues after I'll clean flash) and I also want to stay dencrypted and have Magisk as root.

For your own sakes don't do that. You probably won't be happy unless you want to update to have bigger numer in info screen. (Well if you would like to update to have bigger number in info screen I would suggest editing some conf file to achieve that.)

it's here all the the time, just follow the guide

First of all, both of you thanks for the replies.

Is the update that bad? If so, what makes Pie so much worse when comparing it to Oreo?

I've read through the thread a bit and notices this: "Important Note: If your device’s Bootloader is Unlocked, then installing this firmware will factory reset your phone as this is a firmware upgrade. All your personal data and app data will be wiped clean! So backup before flashing!"
Does this mean it will actually reset the entire phone and will wipe all of my apps and files? Is there not a way to dirty flash this new version without losing my apps and such?
Now also in the "Custom ROM" part it says the following: "3. Format Data partition - system will be encrypted (this is a must else system will not boot the new Android version)"
As my device is unencrypted at the moment do I need to let it encrypt for OOS 9 to actually boot up? Or can I just follow the steps in this guide and follow procedure 1 to stay unencrypted? https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/dm-verity-disable-oxygen-os-t3922324

In simple words phone is slower and hotter. Battery isn't better too (battery life for me was decreased from 5 to 3, 3.5 hours screen on time). You can find more on Oneplus forums.

i personally would suggest you to stay on oreo or jump to pie custom roms, just skip the oos 9.0.5..
the only thing that really fast and smooth just the face unlock feature :laugh:
as far as i know when you flashed stock oos your data will always be (re)encrypted, unless you do the firmware's patch things like you did before.
jumping (upgrade) from diff. android version it's better to do a clean flash (4 wipes, exclude int. storage will be saved)...and it's mandatory required (from stock to any custom roms). except when you forced to format data you'll lost all data in your phone, for sure.
and if you want to stay unencrypted and disable dm verity for good, it's better to do all that stuffs while on stock oos before you jump onto custom roms.
for more details and assistance i suggest you post on the main thread.

Terrible battery since Android 10 update

Hello,
I got my Note9 (N960W) at the beginning of December and was really happy with it, great quick phone, getting 8-9 hours SOT with AccuBattery, which is quite exagerated probably, and around 4h30 while monitoring with GSam.
I got the Android 10 update on Monday, March 9. I used to lose around 8-9% total overnight, but now with Android 10, it's more than 20%-30%. SOT is really worse than before too, but screen off time is the worst, more than 5% per hour. It was 2% per hour with Android 9.
I didn't change anything, didn't install any new apps or didn't change my habits. I just upgraded the OS. What the hell happened? Anyone with the same problem? What can I do? I already wiped off the cache but it didn't change a thing...
Thanks for any help...
Edit: I forgot to mention I also got a couple random freeze and reboot while using TuneIn Radio, something which never happened while on Android 9...

Do a fresh install and see if problems persists, if not, you fixed it.
For me fresh install solved all bugs and problems I had with dirty update

Do a factory reset or new clean install.
My phone is 1.5 years old and battery life is very well with android 10. About 7hrs sot.

This. Android updates are terrible with the incremental update system where only the changed portion of code are pushed to the device.
always do a factory reset when ther are major changes, such as when we went from 8->9 and 9->10.

Thanks for the replies.
But what's the difference between a factory reset and a clean install? If there is one, which one is the best?

Theoretically, if you update your phone from OTA and something goes wrong, then it's possible that the problem won't be fixed by a factory reset because the files it's "restoring" from are already corrupt in some way.
When you clean install through odin, you are flashing the entire OS and replacing every file in the filesystem. This can solve a lot of random problems when Android phones get updated from one flavor to another, i.e, Android 8 -> 9, or 9-> 10.
A lotmof people here disagree that factory reset and a clean install are different. But I disagree with them. If you only update through OTA, then it's entirely possible something can be "corrupt" in the filesystem.
This is because OTA updates are "block based", so instead of replacing all of the files for an update, only the modified "blocks" of data are downloaded and installed. So over time, it's possible to get a bad OTA update that doesn't clean up prior conflicting files, or something like that.
Just my 0.02$

I didn't do factory reset or clean install so far.
This is weird. Today, I was off work and I nearly had 8 hours SoT. Screen off time seems to be improving too. Still, got some wifi bugs today, it shut off a few times for no reason while being home.
But just before posting this, I got a random reboot.... Hmmmm...... Never had a random reboot while on Android 9.
Looks like I'll have to do this reset or clean install....

Yep..always must leave phone 1-2 days to see exactly how battery is.
For my opionion just reset your phone and you'll be fine.
Do a reset from recovery if you want..
Vol up + Bixby + power buttons.. and pick factory reset ...

I prefer odin, because unlike a factory reset, you can use the HOME_CSC file and keep you apps and settings intact, while re writing the filesystem for system. If that fixes things then no need to re set up your device, saving you between 30 mins-2 hours depending on how many settings you prefer to be a certain way.
If that doesn't fix your problem, then you can nuke the whole thing with the CSC file.
Factory reset through the phone relies on having the correct files to restore from, and with the way Android updates, it's becoming more common for the filesystem to get mildly corrupt in one way or another where factory reset through the device doesn't fix the issue thanks to block based updates. I don't think the block based system is cleaning up after itself properly and is leaving behind old code that conflicts with new code personally, but that's just a guess.

Search xda for samfirm download tool, install it and the needed windows components on your computer.
Then go to sammobile.com and look up your phone, sm-n960w and find your specific carrier code, it'll be 3 letters. Then use that code for the "region" box in the samfirm tool, and sm-n960w for model. It will download the latest firmware from samobile at the fastest speed your internet will allow.
Alternatively you can download it straight from samobile, but the download speed is DSL like unless you pay for an account.
The flash through odin, make sure you load the HOME_csc file and not the stands CSC file in order to reta9your settings and data.
flash CSC (along with all other fields) if your problem isn't fixed.

i got 960ou1 and i get 7 hours or more with the 10 update

quick backup question

can i completly back up my p20 pro including android 10 as i have to change it for another one this is faulty and i don´t want to go through the downloading all the updates on android again it was something like 15 to 20 gb last time as it walked through all the various androids to get to 10 and all other updates and i dont have that amount of data on my internet that´s almost my monthly quota....
thanks

No, you can't backup your android version.
You might be able to download a Full_OTA archive of the latest version and run a manual update (there are ways to do that), but it doesn't always work from any version to any version.

Question complete backup for realme X7max

Ok. I have a realme x7 MAX. ----RMX 3031
Realme UI version 2.0
Build number RMX3031_11_A.15
the june security update bricked my phone twice, and required a complete factory reset. Later the service center disabled automatic update.
now the July update is out. I want to know how to backup my phone completely so that in case this bricks my phone I can use my old image instead of the factory image.
I have adb installed and have used it to remove a lot of preinstalled programs

Since we are not Rooted, so try Swift backup available on play store
