Flashing P preview - Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi everyone
Like most of you, I have received the news that the android P preview is now live for the Essential Phone. And I am trying to flash it to my device, but am running into a few doubts. I already have adb and fastboot ready on my PC and have already downloaded the .zip from this link https://www.essential.com/developer/developer-preview, provided by Essential. But when I try to flash it, my command window does not recognize the flashall.bat line, even when I open it directly from the adb-fastboot and P preview folder. Also, it seems there is no flashall file like there is in the 7.1.1 and 8.1 images provided by Essential.
Has anyone here been able to flash it already? If so, how?
Btw, I'm using windows PowerShell, if that changes anything.
Thank you all for your help.

Did you download the fastboot file? If so, just search for the flashall.bat and double click it

Can anyone tell me how to load the OTA file. And any WiFi fix found yet?

From what I'm reading, flashing the ota over the side loaded zip is the fix for wifi.

+1

Why we don't have adaptive battery option and also there are some features missing. Also i can see that date is from april month in ota. Did we get developer preview 1

If you change launchers you lose gestures which sucks ?

Also WiFi tethering is broken

all windows apps are broken... sharepoint, onedrive teams etc. etc. (only crash...)

Every time I try to sideload the OTA zip I get to 18% and then * failed to read command: no error. Anyone else experienced this?
Nevermind. I was able to run the flashall.bat with the fills in a new folder and it worked.

One drive works for me so I'd call out a bad flash on your side

Did first the OTA ..then with all Crashes from MS apps i did a factory reset....still all MS apps crash.... (Maybe the Problem is intune with apps policies...

Most likely. Unmanaged phone and works well for me. You should be using a real MDM like VMware Workspace One UEM (also known as AirWatch) and not Intune - Microsoft can't come anywhere close to the capabilities of AW.

Hi, I have downloaded the OTA file of android P, can someone explain me how to flash it? if possible step-by-step.
Thanks

Google Search by Voice v1.4.1 install fails

Searched the forum and wiki and can't find anything on this.
Trying hard not be a 'compleet newb'....
Problem: I've tried to download and install the latest update (v1.4.1) to Google Search by Voice. It fails saying it is not correctly signed. I am not able to uninstall it via the Market software. The existing version is present and still works.
I was thinking of manually uninstalling it and then attempting a re-install from the market. Has anyone had any success getting this update to install on CM 4.2.7.1?
I'm running Cyanogen 4.2.7.1 on my HTC Magic 32B, applied over the flashed and clean-installed 1.6 rooted base - no CM Updater. (Seems to give a better, more stable result - may affect the behaviour of the update).
this stupid error happens because of the test keys or the userdebug keys thay cyanogenmod uses. I would download it somewhere online and use adb to replace the old one wiht the new one. It should work.
Yes I have the same problem with same model phone etc. etc.
I understand the workaround will be the same as Google maps 3.2.1 update but I cannot find up to date "Google search by voice" apk. I was wondering if anyone knows a source that mirrors up to date apps, or could even link a tut about how to get apk's copied out of the phones /tmp folder?
Thanks
I'll check out the package name in the Applications settings and see if I can find it anywhere or somehow capture it. Later....won't have any time until this evening.

That's great I didn't think of that, ill whip out those quotation marks and asterisks for google too. Also later...... 00:20 is not the right time for this....... so tempted......!!!
I fixed the maps.apk problem by going into adb and uninstalling maps.apk and then removing all traces of it. Then I went to marketplace and i downloaded it as normal and it now works perfectly.
Try that with voice search
Do we know what the package name is? Usually something like "com.google.android.apps.xxx" Could try uninstalling through adb. Then re-download from the market?
hello, could u plz share the installer? its not available on the marketplace in my country.
thanks very much
success
Ok, I managed to get Google Search by Voice updated to 1.4.1. I'm no pro and it took ages but it works.
Could a mod advise whether I am allowed to post a link to the apk?
I would be happy to post the steps i took but its not something i have done before and worse still, i used cmd not putty (noob error #1!). So the commands and the order i used them in are lost.
Should have used ubuntu..............
the concept consisted of updating the app and simultaneously using this command while it was downloading
Code:
cp /cache/downloadfile-9.apk /sdcard/download
"9" is only because it is the 9th apk i have downloaded and once the install fails the OS deletes the apk.
(for anyone else it would be different. go into /cache and type ls at the prompt to see what your next number will be)
then rename downloadfile-*.apk to VoiceSearch.apk, remove the original in the phone using adb and replace with the updated app.
I will post again tomorrow with clearer instructions but would much rather post a link to the apk I got, if it is permitted
hmmm. doing an 'adb shell rm /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk' and reinstalling from the market still gives you the unsigned error?

yes it will still give an unsigned error.
that is why you need to copy the apk which android market downloads to /cache before it deletes it, i copied it to /sdcard/download. then install via adb afterwards.
you have to manual install the apk to avoid unsigned error, once you have done this any future updates through market will be fine. Maps updated fine to 3.3 after i manually installed 3.2.1
How?

Any advice on how you did that? I can imagine sitting with finger poised over the enter button in an adb shell.......is that what you did? Or is there a more certain, simple way?

I downloaded the VoiceSearch.apk file and adb pushed it into /system/app on my phone and it works perfectly. The market sees it as installed and valid.
But I inspected my "normal" load phone (which has voice search) and nowhere could i see anything resembling "VoiceSearch.apk".
Where is this file on an un-rooted phone?

Thanks bro , i did look at this and followed the steps but i couldn't get it to work. I did number one because i'm already rooted and have lollipop. Could you give a more basic step ? like which files to download ? i know the terms. I just can't seem to understand it .

Since you don't have twrp your best choice is step 1 of autoprime. Just follow the steps. Make sure you have the latest USB drivers for lg g3. Also you need to make sure your device is properly connected via adb. To do that you open a terminal inside the folder containing the files. To get adb correctly you hit shift and right click inside the folder the open terminal. Once terminal is open you start by connecting the device via adb. To check is connected your adb device id must show with the word device in front. If it shows unauthorized you need to allowed the connection on the phone. Once connected you need to push the files to the root of the sdcard
adb push "each file" /sdcard/
Then follow with the commands on step 1. Very important to rename twrp file to the name shown in the command.

THANK YOU I GOT IT but i have a quick question , i can now flash exposed on here ? and get roms that are bumped ?
You can flashes any rom bumped since this is bumped as well, if you run into a boot loop make sure to flash the corresponding modem either kk or lollipop. About xposed you can try but you better read the best way to install it because there are issues with lg cover app and the weather app.
i got it working, now im just trying to figure out why G3 tweakbox is not working with xposed
I actuality used the twrp app and it worked like a charm.

There are other threads that discuss this matter in detail. I personally don't use xpose until gets more friendly and stable with lollipop.

I've been using TWRP manager, since I'm avoiding xposed on 5.0.2 ( APM+ is the only xPosed module I really miss, anyway).

[HELP] Features Missing after unlocking bootloader

Well although I planned to unlock bootloader after a few months I decided to grab the opportunity when unlock page started working and with the ultimatum by Huawei about providing unlock codes, but ever since I unlocked and fixed multiple boot loops I noticed few apps and features are now missing such as
HiFi Huawei sounds in Settings is gone
Unable to change or apply themes
smart remote Control is now gone,
Phone no longer stay awake while looking at it
There might be more stuff missing which I haven't noticed
I mean it feels absurd I just unlocked bootloader why are these stuffs missing this makes no sense to me, all I did is installed twrp, installed magisk no modules nothing, in fact, my favorite mods are giving boot loops anyway but that aside I do need the above things back please help out a friend, anyone else faced this ?
I have a theory like Miui had a "region" option and apps changes according to regions set. So does something like this happens in EMUI as well, I don't remember exactly but I believe I set region/language as the UK while completing the setup, if so how can I change it back(PS: I live in India)
or its the side effect of root perhaps?
PHONE: HONOR VIEW 10
Current EMUI ver:8.0

No idea what kind of issues you had, but none of those vanished after unlocking my bootloader.
I've been able to use themes just like before, the display stays on when I look at it and those Huawei sounds in settings are still there as well. No idea about the remote since I never used it anyway.
So idk what went wrong on your phone but it doesn't look like that's anything "normal"
Help please !

From LOS to Stock
Thats not a problem bro, have a 50mbps 250gb monthly plan in broadband. Wanted you to know that I am coming from LOS to stock as much as I know it would require only system.img. But if you think anything else would be required, then please upload that too, as I have only the stock recovery and nothing else.

2. Also what is the version u have uploaded mate(8.0.0.140/8.0.0.151)?
3. Also can you upload ramdisk, kernel, stock recovery also?
4. Is there any way to get FULLOTA-MF for India as provided in other regions?
Thank you.
I flashed it bro but no network.
I think I need radio/modem files.
Could you please upload? I'm waiting.

here you go , rest of the partitions
Do the same unzip in PC- Copy all these files inside twrp backup folder, go to twrp and use restore option hopefully it will work
this is 140 update backup I haven't received 151 officially due to unknown reasons, but I had made changes to my system partition so it contains almost all new features and fixes of 151 except the 3D creator cam,
3D creator is in my data partition which i did not backup
Hey, Are you sure taking restore of this one alongwith previous one will do the job ? I guess imei resides in efs partition which I cannot see here. Can you confirm this once please ?

U need to place them directly in /system/app
Or /data/apps and give permission rw-r--r--

Take your own backup first... Try installing only one partition at time... To be honest this EMUI is very new to me... Dont know y they made so many different partitions
Or maybe it's a kirin's thing... I should have just gone with Op5t like rest of the world... Its just chaos and confusion here

Can someone please save the 10.5.8.IN55CB OTA from T-mobile before updating?

Since T-mobile hasn't posted it, I'm surprised no one has saved off the update for others to download. If anyone gets the notification that the update is available PLEASE save it (plug it into your PC and select file transfer) off the device and provide a link to help the rest of us out.
Much appreciated.

I forgot to add this: Where in the internal storage would/should I look? I need to back up my phone anyways, therefore, this is a perfect opportunity.
Thanks.
After it downloads you should be able to say "wait to install later." It should be around 360MB I hear. If you have an app that shows file sizes it should locate this as a large file on your device. Like Free Cleaner and File Manager, from the PlayStore, if you go under Memory, go under large files, it should show you the location. Then go there and zip it up and save to another directory like Download. And then upload to Mega.nz or another file sharing site. Thank you for helping!!!
i needed the TMobile modem if one of you guys could share that it would help
i am uploading it right now. I am in desperate need of a persist.img from tmobile device. some how I managed to delete my only copy and my backup to the cloud I guess never was completed. if you could do this for me I would be ever so grateful. ill have the update in about 10 min

Quick update: My phone keeps rebooting after downloading the update and lands back into the tmobile splash screen and into the home screen.
What am I doing wrong? Reason being this is that I'm trying to preserve this OTA myself as well.

This is exactly what I need as well, just the modem.bin or NON-HLOS.bin whatever is on the modem partition. I suppose there is a way to pull from adb as well. However, not knowing what is in the OTA makes it quite difficult to see if there are mulitple modem partitions.
Go to system / build number / click it 7 times (it should say you are now a developer), the enable USB debugging. Trust the computer you plug it into (it will ask you on the screen of the phone), then type:
adb pull /dev/block/by-name/modem NON-HLOS.bin
Something like the above should work and save to your fastboot directory,where ever you ran the ADB command from. Then you can zip that file up and upload and we get all the new modem bands.
my problem is i use TMobile and changed to eu and global my 4g is 120mbs 5g 44mbits it was 198 i needed it to test if it changes you fastboot flash modem_a or(b) i could use someone who has TMobile modem backed up in twrp i can give everyone img then
i think i found issue with 5g nr is turned off i used settings database editor to change from 0 to 1
Would this help with 5g speeds? Also I have already updated, but I plan to keep my TMobile 8 stock so I'll try to get whatever files you guys need. Currently at work though.
see where i flashed modem
i have 10.59 what file do you need i dumped it

Do you have to be rooted for it to actually save? I followed that app's instruction and gave permission via ADB but it doesn't seem to save for me.

I figured that would probably be the way. Just wasn't sure does too the fact the app Setedit made it seem like it would save if you just gave it permissive over adb. No rush on you doing that though. Not sure if I'll be investing into all of that yet. I don't mind stock enough to modify yet.
Ok so where's the OTA download link?

T-Mobile variants don't give you the wait option it restarts immediately. Also you can't get to where it saves the update anyway without root. There's another way of doing it and we are waiting for it to be pulled

August Security Patch Rolling Out

[Global] Mi A2 Lite V11.0.10.0.QDLMIXM rolling out!

			
				
Wow. That's gotta be some kind of record for Xiaomi
Mine is only 13M though. Must be a tiny update.
Wow! First time ever that this Android One device is actually up to date security wise.
Yes, from July update only 13MB.
Maybe it was there before, but after updating I noticed a native screen recorder icon.
Updated: It is not native. I have a screen recorder app installed.
Direct share not yet available.

You are right. It's not a native app. I have a screen recordering app installed. Sorry for the wrong news.
Does someone know how to install an OTA Update without using the System Update App? It always says Installation Problem. Installation failed.
I'm rooted with magisk, that's the reason i guess.
I found the 13mb Update as a zip file, but it's not flashable via twrp... Any Suggestions?
Best regards
Alex

So you Flash the whole Rom (~1.2gb) and not just the Update?
I would like to find a way to Flash just the Update since your method is taking too long for me...

If you only have Magisk, the standard process should work for you.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-install-magisk-proper-support-ota-t3836952
If it's not working and you have somehow modified some other partition, it will be written to the logcat.
adb logcat | grep update_engine
My Problem is, even with magisk 'uninstalled' the Update App from xiaomi still says 'Installation failed: Installation Problem'
That even happens with totally Stock rom, no root and no twrp.
I dont know why. But is there any other way to Update manually without flashing the whole Big Rom file? Just the Update file...
There must be a reason why there is an update file in zip Format which is 13mb Big.
Best regards

Alex, You don't have to flash the whole big rom file, but you do have to download it though. You can get it from here: https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/daisy/roms-global-stable/
You then have to extract the files that you need with payload_dumper which you get from here:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850510260
NB that is the Windows 64bit version so make sure that is the OS your pc is using.
You then have to find which partition it is that is causing the problem for which you have to use a1291762's advice:
Code:
adb logcat | grep update_engine
and read very carefully through the results because the offending entry will be difficult to spot amongst the dozens of others.
You then flash the partition mentioned in the logcat. For example if 'system' is mentioned in the logcat as having an incorrect hash (that is always the reason for the failures) you would have to extract 'system.img' with payload_dumper and run
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
Then try the update again. If it works you will also probably have to reinstall Magisk from scratch again as flashing system will probably remove it.
Yes it is complicated - far too complicated, but the simple measure you call for - just flash an update file - has, to the best of my knowledge never been possible, so there must be some reason why that is so, but I don't know what it is.
Incidentally, the reason I am able to respond to this question is that I had a torrid time yesterday trying to update my A2 lite on which I had not one, but 3 errors. aboot hash incorrect, system hash incorrect, and before any of that the normal Magisk uninstall told me it had no images to restore and so had to be uninstalled completely. It took me hours and it wasn't that much fun.

The update is only 13M because it contains only changes. But for that to work, your partitions must be unmodified.
The larger update zip has complete partitions so it can work even if you have changes. You may be able to do the recovery update method with that file...
The even larger fastboot image has every partition.
thanks everyone for the help!
I did it as you said viking777 and it worked.
It's sad, that for an 13mb update this procedure is necessary, but thats how it is..
So thanks again everyone for the help

sure, even more quick if u dont need twrp
flash last rom with xiaomi flash (save user data selected)
then boot patched.img and install magisk, less than 10 mins and no need to worries about uninstall magisk or any mod before
