Is this an official update from Huawei?

Hello guys, today I found a new update for the music app of my mate 9 ( I uploaded a photos in the links bellow)
ibb.co/csfhCy
ibb.co/fKDPQJ
1- how is it possible to be version 12 and get an update with a lower version?
2- when I clicked update it moved me to accept installs from unknown resources?
What do you recommend for me guys, is this a virus or what?

50 View and no reply, come on guys =(

I wouldn't install it.
Sometimes I install apps from unknown sources but then I have actively and intentionally downloaded them.
An official update from Huawei doesn't come this way.
Simply delete it.

I've got updates from Huawei like that before. If you don't have any mods that bypass signature validation, then you should be fine. If the application was not officially signed by Huawei then it would fail to install on your phone anyway. So the mere fact that the update got installed successfully is an indication that it is official and from Huawei.
I don't know about the version number though. If the version number of the APK itself was lower it would have failed to install. So I'm guessing they just have a problem with the in-app version numbering.

strange only seems to have been a small security patch, was hoping it might fix sensitive sensors etc also, though I did notice Google pushing an update a week or so back so maybe that fixed the gestures? Anyone know where we can find out what Google is pushing out via play store?
(edit: it took forever to optimise my apps, thought it was stuck after about 20min but no it finally installed, though maybe it was due to having some cloned apps this time)

You WILL lose root with the update; you just need to re-root it. No data loss if you do an OTA.
I've been installing all updates like this:
1. Download both OTA and full image from Essential onto PC.
2. Apply OTA via adb sideload.
3. Reboot, wait for the update to complete. The root is lost at this point.
4. Extract boot.img from the full image, copy to phone.
5. Patch boot.img with Magisk, copy patched file back to PC.
6. Flash patched boot.img via fastboot.
7. Reboot. You are now rooted again.
These steps are also described in details in other threads. I also tried once to do an OTA update directly on the phone, but somehow it took forever to finish, so I am sticking to my old method...

@kt-Froggy or anyone
I reckon this update that fixed 3rd party launcher must have come via the Play store using Googles new Project Mainline update system on Android 10. I did notice something was updating a few weeks ago in the background. Does anyone know where we can see what bits of Android has been updated via Play store?

Sorry, I have no idea... Would be interesting to know, for sure.
I also did notice a couple of times some updates in the background, even though I have auto updates disabled in Play Store. Didn't catch what was updating, though. I know some components are getting updated automatically regardless of the settings, e.g. Instant Apps, but not sure what exactly that was...

HELP After updating Android System Webview My Phone is Unresponsive

Hello Guys,
I come in need of a help,
I'm writing from my computer now,
Yesterday my phone was working fine,
Today morning, I updated the apps on my phone; amongst the updates was android system webview.
After a reboot, my phone is unresponsive, it won't open any of the apps from that point.
I reboot again, since keyboard doesn't work, I used the OTG cable to use the physical keyboard to enter the password and get in. Tried entering setting to uninstall that crap app, settings is unresponsive.
No SIM services, no keyboard, no fingerprint, no settings etc.. basically nothing works and everything says "unresponsive and asks to either wait or close".
The only thing I have now is TWRP Recovery, and I'm inside it now.
I've wiped Cache + Dalvik / ART Cache : Result still same, nothing works.
I mailed [email protected] (which is provided in the app's "Developer" section) about this and got a reply that the mail is no longer being monitored.
Can someone please let me know how I can remove android system webview by using TWRP ? So that I can enter the phone back again as normal..
Device Details:
Lenovo K8 Note
Android 7.1.1 Nougat, (Never updated the OS)
Device has been rooted and has recovery options.

I think you can find WebView module in Magisk respiratory so I suggest you give that a try. Flash it and I think it will be fine as long as you have Magisk installed, of course.

Thanks, I couldn't quite understand that..
I've never read/seen a need for Magisk so far.. so may I know what is the procedure to be done here...?
I do read Magisk is a systemless Root, (I already have SuperSu, is that the same functionality? (though I can't open anything that is))

Find the Magisk zip on Google and flash it over TWRP.
Head over to the Magisk module site and you will be able to find an alternate WebView module you can flash. It will be in zip format so I guess you will need USB to transfer those files to your phone since you cannot use it to download modules.

Give it a try and come to tell if you have sorted it out.
If not, you will probably need to flash your ROM again hoping the application won't stay updated but to back to stock version.

Oh, one more thing,
Does this procedure mean, I'll lose TWRP and SuperSu?
Can I not just downgrade the android system webview manually itself?

You won't lose TWRP but I am not sure about SuperSu since it's very old and people don't use it from the time Magisk appeared. I don't think you will be able to have both TWRP and SuperSu.
It would be good for you to just uninstall the updates of WebView if you can use your phone at all. That would solve the problem.

TWRP basically is a menu what allows you to select and apply ADB and/or Fastboot commands.
SuperSU is a Superuser access management tool: it requires SU binary got installed on Android.
Both mentioned sofwares are completely different things, don't depend on each other.
BTW:
I always root Android without the need to make use of Magisk or SuperSU.

So, I went through these

I got is, .. the adb and appt command says "not found". so.. confusion. and I also see that Bromite System Webview might or might not work on some apps..
So,
Is there a way to downgrade an app through recovery mode
or delete that app's data and start from scratch for that alone?
or is there a way to flash an old Android System Web View through TWRP?

Please help, I have spent the whole day trying to fix this.
I already have SuperSu and it seems if I need to goto Magisk (which is just for that other webview application, I have to do a lot of rolling back and applications going away, ) I don't want that..
Let's keep the Magisk idea as last resort and please let me know if there is any other way to delete the entire Android Webview related stuff and start from beginning.

Attached the attack of errors. (these are just few of the ANR popups, there are lots more.. at the last screen you can see even settings won't respond)

My recommendation: Reflash phone's Stock ROM to get rid off of all modifications you applied so far, then restart modding from the scratch.

Just because of one application?
I just want that android webview gone/replaced with a stable one, is that not possible without destroying everything?

Thanks everyone.
we have a solution,
In my case, uninstalling the Xposed framework fixed it for me..
So, while working on this issue I had made a flow map and a log of what is done and its results, may be someone else can benefit from it in the future..
Spoiler: Tries and results
Even starting the entering phone itself is a big issue, because the keyboard applications don't come up; fingerprint doesn't work on first boot as a security measure as well; connected physical keyboard to OTG to phone to enter password... then greeted with lots of errors of all the applications.

Posted to XDA, have some ideas worth trying
Unpacking the system web view.apk on computer gives crap details as it is almost completely encrypted.
Going rabbit hunting through the rabbit hole, checking each folders on "/"
found something similar /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
Quick google search confirms that I’m on the right path to finding it...
May be data or XML is somewhere too?
Deleted(copied and deleted) /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
Result, Same
Then Reverted
PS: Original Copy at ext_sdcard
Replaced the existing one (92.0.4515.115 with 90.0.4430.210)
Result, no changes.
Then reverted with the crappy original
May be adb will install properly?
Tried adb commands on phone on TWRP, doesn't work
Tried adb from computer to phone, unable to connect to phone.
Was doing it wrong, while in TWRP, I need to initiate "ADB Sideload" and then connect from PC (with Firewall allowed)
then "adb devices", shows connected device with serial number
after the above, the adb push keeps saying "error: connect failed: closed"
turning phone ON and connecting for additional settings (USB debugging) pops "mtp host failed" as soon as I wire..
Started the phone, switched over to Guest account, (oddly seems stuff there are kind of better with lesser error messages), tried launching playstore and wifi, both need password which I don't have, entering settings, hangs for a while, quickly go to apps and uninstall updates for android system web view.. web view becomes 0.0.1
results, fail
Created a temporary user account on phone whilst booting, (because of the observable lesser apps running if I switch over from main..)
added my gaccount on it,
launched playstore to update the android system web view..
the update is stuck at 60%~70 %each time and is unable to complete..
took the v90 application that is on pendrive, connected otg.. and started to install application manually from there..
it said, no space.. even though there is around 4 GB free... continued to disable other applications, such as chrome, youtube, drive etc..
still unable to install the v90 application
even installing other apps (sudoku example) have the same issue,
and then I see a popup that package manager has stopped working (aha! so that itself doesn't work, then can't install),
Went to see if I can change something on developer options, developer option wont come up even after 7+ taps.. hmm strange, may be only main account can have dev options.
While at it, swapped out the Gboard with older AOSP keyboard (retaining Fleksy though).
Rebooted and tried again.. no fix yet..
Atleast I don't have to switch to physical keyboard now for every reboot, since the inner older keyboard comes for first boot.
By TWRP, removed existing app and replaced with v87; doesn't seem to be any different, same errors...
Was about to install the Magisk but it seems to have lots and lots of catches to it, and things to-do before I can go to that...
Continuing investigation on how to downgrade and get back to older state
Through TWRP, deleted the app folder from /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
researched to see if there is something else to delete, couldn't find much... proceeding from what we know...
Removed ATSystem.apk (3C's helper) from /system/priv-app just in cast (copy placed at ext_sdcard)
result no change..
Started at around 31-Jul-21 13:00 and went on till 01-Aug-21 01-26 pausing to for the day to rest...
Restored App Folder back to /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
WebViewGoogle.apk is v90 again.. (the original seems to be missing, meh, not like it's going to fix)
reboot, result, no changes.
Starting step to install magisk
Removing xposed now..
wiped dalvik cache
rebooting
Kind of stable!!!
Everything seems to work?!?!
Firewalled all app except playstore and mail,
mail seems to work, but can't open the mails (just the headers are received), clicking on the mail says "unable to inflate webview"
aha, I forgot that I have v87 still, if I update that again, will it work (if it doesn't we know how to revert now)
proceeds to update v87 to latest
reboots,
I guess issue resolved by uninstalling xposed, next step to enter phone and move data to safe zone and think about next step.

Oh... sorry to hear that.
I don't know the solution to that, because mine is rooted I was able to get into the custom recovery and fix things.. not sure what can be done here for your case, (I do know that the old samsung's default recovery is kinda unreadable for English speakers)
So, I think it's best for you to start a new thread in the forum, because if you make a new thread there's a higher chance of reply than this thread which is already marked solved.

Cannot download updates, why?

Found 12.5.3, tried to download and update, stuck at `get info 0%' forever.
Found package installer system app update as well, tried to download, failed instantly.
Poco x3 NFC, EU version, no root, all standard apps.
The system app update history shows last successful update was on 29 Oct. On 3rd Nov, got the reminder of new miui ota. Then, spotted this bug.
Any solution?

Does the phone work? If have this problem also, but the phone can not write to the internal+external storage at all after the last update, so I can not download anything.
Nevertheless, you can download the official rom as recovery image on your own at mi.com/global => mi community => rom downloads => poco x3 nfc. Follow the flash instructions there (copy file to phone, select it in the update preferences section 'about phone=>miuiVersion') In the case you doesn't have the menu point to select the rom package as file. you have to tab multiple times on the miui logo in the update app to enable this menu point.

thanks mate.
it worked properly except this 'cannot download ' update problem.
Interestingly, the google play updates, camera, chrome browser download, xiaomi music plaer... all write files fine. no problem at all.
the apps that has the problem are:
1. xiaomi's getapp app
2. system app updater
3. the miui updater
i found somewhere the OTA zip and recovery zip. what's the difference between them?
if I download the from (recovery zip) where you mentioned, should I:
1. unlock the bootloader?
2. will the process you mentioned clear all my data after the installation?
Thank you so much. I am awaiting some confirmations before proceeding.

OTA is 'over the air' update, this is also a recovery image. There exists also fastboot images, but these are a different thing.
Make sure that you really download the right rom for your phone (look at the exact type number, e.g. RJGEUXM for European phones, look in the 'about phone' section what type yours is), also directly from xiaomi, as I mentioned. If you use these roms, you don't have to unlock the bootloader, and you also will not loose data. If you select them in the updater, it is just as you receive an OTA update. You have to unlock if you flash with adb/fastboot, but in this case you would loose your data during unlocking

Question Upgrading to 12 from 11 on magisk rooted device.

I rooted this device (model XT2131-1 TMO) while it was still on the android 11 using magisk method (currently on v25.2) and it runs fine honestly but when playing games every time the system update window appears it will completely boot me out of said game. I always selected not now( as I know updates break root if you just update) but I wanted to try and just update it and work on rooting that version after but then I receive "Package Verification Failed" notice and nothing happens. After so many attempts of selecting "not now" it will completely stop for a few weeks then start popping up again. So far this is absolutely the only issue I have ATM. More an annoyance really. Is there a way to completely disable that system update notification from appearing entirely or where should I look to restore, update, and then reboot on Android 12? I'd prefer just get rid of the update popup as everything else works fine. I'd appreciate any help thank you.

I also just remembered I've asked this in another thread but in this one im asking more about preferably disabling the system update notification entirely which will fix my main issue of it.

Solution: flash current stock kernel and run update again. You can grab updated stock kernel from RSA and patch and regain root

You can't delete it but you can certainly freeze it find an app like SD maid on Google Play you can freeze all the update apps and associated dll files there's about six or seven of them

I've still got an older pro version of that actually. Ty I'll look into that.

I'm seeing two under sdmaid. Both say frozen already. Which one is the actual android system update app pls?

Yes but there is android system update and then Motorola system update. I've disabled/froze(yes using sd maid and other root accessed app managers separately so as not to mess up anything else) both and their services/triggers (anything linked to ether) each at a time for a couple days and both at the same time and still appears constantly. Only thing I can think of is to completely reset to full stock,go to 12 and reboot ....

Try to disablw this application. i read that this help. I do not vouch for it, I’m not responsible for what happens due to it.

Look for an app called preference manager on Google Play.
Of course it'll require root.
Select each individual app it'll take you to the XML file it creates.
Look for all the timer entries and change them to zero basically make a mess out of it if you will.
As long as you've disabled all the receivers that should stop the app from Auto Wake
