Certificate errors while browsing https internet sites - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

I have my Mate 9 for four weeks now and in the beginning everything was perfect.
Some day I decided to unlock the bootloader via Huawei online service. That went smooth except for the subsequent factory reset. It startet and gave an error that it was not successful. After the phone booted I went through the start wizard, into the settings and did a manual factory reset that finished successfully...
I used to use the Lightning browser to open web pages but one fine day, there may be a coincidence to the bootloader unlock but I do not remember exactly, I started to get certificate errors, even when opening xda-developers. The browser showed a message about a security problem and an invalid certificate. At some well known shopping sites too.
Interestingly enough some other sites work flawlessly like my home banking site as an example.
I have checked if the default system certificates are present (they are), made a factory reset again, also tested some different browsers:
Browsers with certificate errors
Lightning
JumpGo
Privacy Browser
working Browsers
Icecat
Firefox
Any ideas?

Does it happen on 4g and wifi?
Did you change dns for funkyhuawei use?

Yes, happens on both 4G and wifi.
I haven't used funkyhuawei yet, only glanced over the instructions.
At first I wanted to root the phone when I unlocked its bootloader but the benefit of Android 7 being rootet seems technically limited at the moment so I decided to temporarily live without. However I left the bootloader unlocked. This was with firmware 126.
The recent OTA updated my Mate 9 to MHA-L29C432B138. Somehow it managed to relock the bootloader. When I checked it today, it was locked. I did'nt touch it.
But it brought no change concerning the certificate error.

Did you check that all system credentials are enabled?try clearing user credentials certificate.
maybe wipe cache in stock recovery and do factory reset from there.
Not sure if unlocking bootloader will wipe drm keys that had any relation with this.

All system credentials are enabled. User credentials are empty.
No I have wiped cache in emui recovery and factory reset.
Only finished the setup wizard and enabled wifi.
Now I tested with Chrome browser too. I shows no error, just like Firefox and Icecat.
Lightning Browser and the others shows certificate invalid when I open xda.
Could there be a change in certificate / credential handling in Android N so that some browsers need modification to work?
Can somebody please test Lightning with "https://www.xda-developers.com" on her / his Mate 9?
Thank you so much!

If you open developer settings,there is something about chrome enabled maybe you can change it to other browsers.
I didn't tried any browser beside chrome and no problem over here.

Do you mean webview implementation - is it called like that in English? It has only one fixed option called "Chrome Stable".
I also have a system app "Android System Webview" that is deactivated.
I think there could have been a change in the webview implementation in Android N.

After more research and reading playstore feedback I have come to the conclusion, that there must have been a change in Android N in either the webview implementation and / or the way ssl certificates are dealt with.
I am using Chrome as my default browser right now. Firefox and Icecat are too clumsy.
I hope, there will be a solution to this in the near future.

Same issue locked boatloader... Good to know it's not just me... Issues with dolphin browser! Doesn't seem to occur with chrome browse at all. While using Dolphin I just checked off "show security settings"

Same issue here but on Honor 8, started after unlocking bootloader on Nougat.

[Q] stock JB browser doesn't keep me logged into sites

Hi Everyone,
The stock JB (EOS 3) browser has recently stopped keeping me logged into both Google sites and other websites. I stay logged in for a browser session, but when I reboot my Xoom or force close the browser, the login does not persist and I have to signin to every site again. Username and password boxes populate properly, but the sites don't autologin.
This didn't used to happen. Historically, I only ever very rarely had to login to Google sitess through the browswer - it used to do it automatically 99% of the time. Similarly, other website logins persisted for quite a long while - or until I logged into the same site via my PC.
I've tried clearing all passwords, cookies, and the cache - with no success. I've also made sure that all relevent "keep me logged in" tick boxes are ticked, on those sites that have them - still I get prompted to login again after rebooting the tablet.
I was wondering whether anyone had any insight about why logins no longer persist on my Xoom. My thoughts are that cookies are not being stored properly, but I have no idea how to verify/resolve this.
Thanks,
Slow

Since my original post, I have also tried clearing the app cache and Dalvik cache via recovery, with no success.
While not keeping me from using my Xoom, it still is a bit annoying...

Unfortunately nobody has provided any insight into my issue. So, I decided to upgrade to EOS4v197. The browser is back to logging in automatically as it is supposed to.

Windows Store Issue

Okay, not sure where to start, but my Windows Store quit working. I was doing a search in the store when it crashed. Every time I go to load it, I get a spinning circle and it just does this for an indefinite length of time.
So far, I have ran wsreset multiple times, both as administrator, and as a regular user. It still continues to be stuck loading. I also ran system file checker to see if there was any file corruption but it found no issues. Is there something simple that I am missing here?
Thanks!
Hello !
I've got the same problem as yours, and I tried everything. Rebooting, use the MS tool to fix store problems, I even 'refreshed' the surface (RT 1st gen for me) but with the option to keep all the files and settings. No luck.
Then I created a new local dummy user account on the surface and the store was loading... But only for that user, not for me.
So I decided to backup everything in One Drive, and restore my surface from scratch... At the restore window, I chose to start without a previous backup and setup like a new device.
Now the store is loading properly. Sadly I have not found any other solution

I had this problem and fixed it by changing my Microsoft Account password.
It then forced the app to ask me for a password.
With the new password entered, the Store and Skydrive worked perfectly. (No need to refresh the device)

Thanks. I actually did refresh my Surface, but settings were a piece of cake to restore. And yes, the store works now. I will try this option in the future though.
I had the same problem and I found a fix for it on in the microsoft knowledge base. I can't remember the details but it involved clearing the cache through the command prompt I believe.
You should just call MS support, I'm sure their tech would know exactly what to do.

Help? Particular website access issues from android phone

Hopefully I'm posting this in an ok section. I'm not sure what the issue is, and I'm trying to figure out if this is a software, hardware, provider, or website issue. I am beginning to suspect a software issue though.
I have a stock HTC M8, and as of about 2 weeks ago, I'm having issues logging in to one particular website: http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/ , but ONLY when connected through my wireless provider. The main page loads just fine, but as soon as I hit the sign in button to try to get to the signin page, it hangs for a while, then I get the message "internal error - server connection terminated" .
Here's the thing though: If I try to sign in to the page while connected to a Wifi network, it works just fine, and will continue to work properly even if I turn wifi off, until such time as the page automatically ends my session and I have to log in again. It's just that initial log in that won't work if connected to a wireless network. Also, I can't log out either unless on a wifi connection.
Here's what I tried already:
- Tried to log in using my wife's S4 (also stock rom). No good.
- Tried Chrome and Firefox browsers. Same problem.
- Contacted the website support. They say my wireless connection is too slow. Speedtest says 80Mbps down, 30Mbps up, 31ms ping. Ummm... I'm going to say this isn't the issue.
- Contacted my wireless provider (Telus). They say they haven't made any changes the last couple of weeks.
The only changes I've made recently is that I updated Android System Webview. I can't even get a handle on what the heck this app is for (Typical review: "It changed my life! My acne disappeared, and I won the lottery!")
Any ideas? I'm at a loss here....
In chrome you should check on the requeat desktop page and give it a try
Sent from my SM-G355H using XDA Free mobile app
Sadly, I've tried that as well. No go on any browser.
That's why I figured maybe it was something HTC screwed up with a recent update.
Can you access that login with any other method on your htc
Nope. WiFi only. Every other attempt to reach the login page fails. Browser doesn't matter, desktop view is no good, manual or auto login is also useless.
It simply won't load the login page.
I noticed on my desktop that it goes from whatever page you click the login button from, to a log in page, and then back to your original page once you enter your information. It's that transition to and from that login page that seems to be where the issue lies.
I must be in the website you do not need to worry as your droid is safe
Sorry, but you lost me there...
It could be thatbi lost but i dont know coz at somd times i have same problem anf it goea away by itself so i think its a site problem
I thought that originally as well, but they claim they haven't changed anything and blame my ISP, my ISP claims they haven't changed anything and blames the site...
This is why I'm wondering if it maybe has something to do with android web view or the native browser interfering with the whole system since it started about the same time as I downloaded the updates.
You wouldn't by chance know where I could find an apk for the HTC browser 2 versions ago would you? That way I could remove all updates then install that and at least verify or eliminate a possible cause.
Yes i can tell you where is the befault internet brousef app present on your device.
Download ans install es file manager.
Open it. At the top you will see sd card tap that. A mwnu will open. In that menu the first option is / device select that.
In that search for system folder. Inside that you will find many folders but inside folder app and priv_app there are syatem apk
Your brouser app will be inaide one of them.
Try searching goos lucl

web authentication page pop up is not appearing

hi, I just bought my Zenfone 3 Max 5.5 a little over 2 weeks ago, and I noticed that the web authentication page does not automatically pop up when I connect to my office wifi. it used to work alright with my old phone. here are the troubleshooting steps I've done so far:
1. uninstall and install google chrome
2. used a different browser
3. checked if the notification is blocked for google chrome (which is not)
4. made sure the data is not restricted for chrome
5. allowed cookies in chrome
6. forget the office wifi and connected with other network (I tested this while I was at the airport). still no pop up
7. cleared data for chrome
I also contacted the asus service center but I was advised, after all the troubleshooting, to just do factory reset, but I'm really hoping it doesn't get to that. can someone help me please? Thank you.

[SOLVED] Asking for 'previous password' after wipe, won't accept Google credentials

Getting desperate here. My friend wanted to do a factory reset because she was running out of space, and everything was lagging. I told her no problem, just make sure to have your correct Google credentials. I don't use Google (Custom ROM FOSS guy) so have very little experience with possible issues.
So we went into the settings and wanted to initiate the factory reset process. She was asked to enter her PIN, which he had forgotten. She always uses fingerprint to access her device. Therefore I went into recovery and did the wipe from there. Everything seemed normal. We were greeted with the welcome screen, entered the Wi-Fi key, then it checked for updates for a moment. After that it asked for a "previous password". Before doing the factory reset, we double-checked her Google credentials to make sure nothing goes wrong. I was a little irritated that it wouldn't ask for her Google Account Email address first. Alas, after several attempts, it just wouldn't accept her Google password. We entered her account on a browser, no problem there.
I did some research, and there have been several people with the same or similar problems. Some report that they need to enter a PIN after factory reset. Seems like HTC is asking for a different password, and not the one for the Google account. Unfortunately she does not remember to have ever created a password for the device.
What really bugs me is that even the official HTC support page for the U11 does not mention this obstacle:
What can I do if I forgot my screen lock password, PIN, or pattern?
www.htc.com
I successfully bypassed FRP on a Samsung Galaxy J5 several years ago, and tried the same with the following tutorial:
Everything goes well, until the YouTube app opens and asks me to update. When I tap on update, it wants me to sign in to Google Play. When I tap on sign-in, it immediately asks for this ominous 'previous password' again.
Hope you guys have a solution. Data is all backed up, but she really needs this phone.
UPDATE: She remembered the password. She said she had to set it up together with the fingerprint when she got the device.
Still, I find it extremely misleading that HTC does not follow its own guidelines. The official support page for this model linked above explicitly states that in order to remove any PIN, pattern or password, you can wipe the device.
