It looks like Huawei/Honor continues the development of security patches for EMUI 5 - b410 is approved by IMEI and contains August patches, while b412 contains September patches and will probably be approved soon. However, nothing new on the EMUI 8 side of things.
I don't remember how things were with the EMUI 4->5 transition, but the fact that they continue to focus on providing updates only for the old emui doesn't fill me with confidence.
Was 8.0.0.521 an one-off? I hope not.
I think Oreo is an one-off. Infact i returned back to b407
It's really disappointing, because the B521 firnware has some annoying bugs.
To me, the fact that Huawei controls both processor (Kirin) and OS (EMUI), should mean that they would be of the likes of Apple and iOS, or the likes of Google and Pixels: each version of EMUI should be able to be installed on all compatible phones, on launch day. I can't believe they cannot do that, unless their developers' skills are so bad.
This is a lost opportunity, in favour clearly of selling more phones. They envision being better than Apple, without taking the first page of their book: fewer phones, better support.
If that's the case in the end, "so long and thanks for all the fish".

I just wanted the treble support. Now I'm using custom rom RR and it seems pretty good.

That's nice that it worked for you - however a lot of people didn't want to switch to a custom treble ROM; they just needed a properly updated official OS with security updates.

"LOS - Stability, basic, like AOSP, but with a tad bit more customizability
OmniROM - Both hitting the sweet spot between RR and LOS. NFC.
RR - Really good battery life, customization to the max"
I am using RR coz of the customizations. AFAIK all the roms are usable as daily driver. There might be minor bugs here and there but nothing too big. NFC is only available on Omni. No VoLTE support on any rom. Thats all i can think of right now. Their web has detailed info.

Yeah I think it's pretty easy. It's a root solution, in general. Installation guide which you can use also for our device can be found here. Usage is pretty easy but now we're getting off topic with that.

The OnePlus 7 will be my first OnePlus device, not going for the Pro as it isn't worth the extra money IMO.
Anyway
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/help/oneplus-6-rooting-disadvantages-t3797477
Having read the above thread...
I assume the Widevine L1 to L3 "problem" also applies to the OnePlus 7 (Pro).
But I can live with that since I really want adblock on my phone.
All my previous phones have been HTC devices, where - if you had installed a custom rom - could still update the phones firmware by flashing a zip via fastboot/hboot. These zip files only contained the firmware, recovery, bootloader,... but didn't touch the system partition, so you could keep using your custom rom afterwards without any issues.
Since I know that the stock OS on OnePlus devices is very good, I am not sure if I will be installing a custom rom anytime soon.
However I would still like to know if the same is possible on these devices?
Judging on what has been possible on previous OnePlus phones, yes, you should be able to flash firmware only separately when using a custom rom.
You know you''re in the wrong forum? You want to be here.

It is confirmed. as in OP6T, at least in my device: 9.5.4 GM1913.
Additionally I would want to raise that, possibly, digital wellbeing was disabled as well while on unlocked OP7P.
Could someone confirm it with Locked Bootloader?
Thanks
Yes, I can confirm that digital well being is disabled after unlocking the boot loader while it was working when I still had it locked.

Sure, on YouTube luckily all is still fine :good:
I just want to make check if this is still the case?
Rooting the phone still removes the DRM however you root it?
No alternative way to save the DRM or reinstall it?
If your question is Netflix related, then I have rooted OP7 Pro with Magisk and there's no issue at all.
Unlocking bootloader changes widevine to l3. No way around that. Nothing to do with root.

Actually it has to do with unlocking the bootloader and rooting typically goes hand in hand with bootloader unlocking so it kind of does.

I heard some people unlock the bootloader and use root to debloat and make certain system changes that persist after unrooting. I don't know why they unroot other then google pay as Magisk allows google pay to work.

There are modded Netflix apps to achieve higher quality, but yes, with the normal app only 480p

Once you unlock the bootloader DRM keys are lost happens on every phone afaik, And defaults to L3 have to relock the bootloader to get back to L1.

May occur on most, but not all. I came from a PixelXL and this wasn't an issue. Honestly, this is about the only thing that has made me hesitant to unlock the bootloader on my OP7Pro.

I can confirm it too. After upgrade to Stable A11 from A10 (with root and unlocked bootloader from 1st day) got L1 Certfication.
As the title suggests, my Poco X3 NFC (MIUI 12.0.1.0RJGMIXM Android 11) widevine drm downgrades from L1 to L3 overnight. There were no updates and whatsoever. When I opened netflix it downgraded from L1 to L3. I've also updated all security certificates (FIDO and IFAA) but also for some reason I cannot update the Widevine certificate (Error code: 1).

Hello, i download version 12.5.1 and it is solved, just go to the fingerprint settings, select payments with fingerprint and there will be the option to download the certificate, and you will be able to use the rom you want.

Yes as I've seen on reddit threads. They've fixed most bugs including the ones I've encountered and somehow improves performance in some ways. Can I ask if it improved the perfomance and if it has annoying bugs? I'll wait for the update so it is much safer as I don't have any replacement phone if something goes wrong. Thanks for the feedback.
