Hi there.
Some months ago Google Play stopped working on my system (Huawei U8800).
Don't know what I did although I had rooted the device around that time - I didnt connect the dots. Im not even sure it rooted correctly. I have since found Root Checker which I must have downloaded before the crash cos I was recently able to install it on the U8800. It does tell me in Root Info that Root Access - no access. So now Im deeper in the, err, mud.
Bottom line is I cant download anything and I really need it back.
Id really appreciate some advice here. Thx
Hi there, I'm experiencing some issues with my new bought phone Huawei P8 Lite(ALE-L21 Single-Sim locked in Vodafone Romania).
The first issue and that's kinda important is the notification one; I won't receive for example Facebook's Messenger messages, when phone it's locked or often on home screen. I've given priority on that damn task killer, I did anything recommended on all forums and sites, even from WhatsApp's thread about receiving delayed notifications, I also installed that Push notifications app;
When I said I often receive notifications on my home screen it's beacuse they are delayed I think. I want to fix this so bad so I made a thread about this. Everything has priority, even networking apps, the lock screen has the default theme, I really don't know what to do anymore.
And the second one is about the common double tap execution when writing or tapping or anything else. I'm experiencing some troubles there too, especially when I'm writing, the phone is executing the second tap without my action and I don't know how to fix that.
I'll let some informations about my phone..
I've purchased this phone on 31th of May, 2016
The model number is ALE-L21/Single Sim
The build number is ALE-L21C02 B140
Android 5.0.1 with EMUI 3.1
Phone isn't rooted or modified, and I want to fix these without rooting if it's possible.
well .. you have 2 options:
1. Check notifications manager from notifications panel
2. Upgrade to marshmallow: upgrade to b170 then upgrade to b564 and hope this will fix your problem xD
About the double tap: that is an often problem on this huawei and you can fix that by upgrading to last version of marshmallow.
Can't find an notification manager, may you show me where it is?
And about the versions I found only b170 but it's from spain and I told you that I'm a little bit scared beacuse it's locked in Vodafone Romania
It doesn't matter from where it is, it's official from huawei. It doesn't matter if it's locked in vodafone romania, mine was also locked in vodafone romania, and i have b565 now
You won't brick your phone.
Here it's notification manager:
If you can't find notification, it means that this option is not available on 5.0
May you give me some links to the updates, please? I really don't want to f**k up the phone
Update via local update: make a folder named dload on your internal memory or sdcard an put the update.app inside of this zip
Then, update with the same procedure to 6.0 by installing update.app from this zip
ALE-L21C02 B140
It looks that Your phone is branded and I don't know if You will have balong bug after upgrading the system to B170 and upper. I recommend you to make a debrand process but it needs an unlocked bootloader. When You decide to do it remember to have done a backup of Your data!

Oups, didn't read c02 xD
But i don't think it's a big problem, even if he has balong, he can install vendor or change it.
Could you explain me what's "balong" and "vendor"; I'm sorry but I'm completely parallel with these kind of "deep" stuff in phones..
Balong is a bug that appears when you are installing a firmware that is not for your country and it's a problem with the version not showing properly. The vendor file will fix it.
Sent from my ALE-L21 using XDA-Developers mobile app
And where can I find the vendor file, to avoid the balong bug?
And also is it a problem if I update my One-Sim Phone with an Dual-Sim FW?
That's strange, why are you having b140 on single sim?
And why you want to update with a dual sim version on single sim?
Just install b171 first then install b551, at last install b565 via ota.
Vendor file is inside firmware archives.
Hi,
I bought this phone Huawei P8Lite (ALE-L21) without being connected to any network carrier.
Before I start to unlock bootloader, install TWRP and Root the phone, I checked the system version and EMUI and the rest of the information needed before update to Marshmallow 6.0.
Before I had the following info:
OS: Lollipop 5.0.1
EMUI: 3.0
(ALE-L21C432B200)
At this point I had no update via OTA - (to the Android 6.0 Marshmallow), and made only unlock bootloader
After several hours of searching, I found that I could do a local update (B560 Marshmallow Firmware [Europe] - Dual SIM) available by Huawei.
Link: http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/06/download-huawei-p8-lite-l21-b564-marshmallow-firmware-europe/
I checked Huawei PDF on how to do the update but does not mention Required Version and proceeded to local update.
So far so good, the phone did the update without any problem.
I checked OTA for new update and the phone made update for B564 - Also mentioned by Carbontesla.com
Link: http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/06/download-huawei-p8-lite-l21-b564-marshmallow-firmware-europe/
Phone did the update (B564) without any problem, then I proceed installing TWRP and then I root the phone.
All work beautifully, but I noticed that whatever the application I use both SMS, Facebook, Whatsapp, GMail, takes too long to receive notifications.
I do not know if he was already with this bug when the phone was with Lollipop 5.0.1 with (ALE-L21C432B200) and EMUI 3.0
I have not had time yet to reset the phone to factory settings and verify that fixed the bug, I will do this weekend week :fingers-crossed:
Can someone help me?

Check battery management and give access to work in the background for apps You need. Eventually check notification centre too.

Yes, I've been checking battery management if everything with access to work in the background for apps, and it seems to be ok and notification center too.
It continues with the same delay / bug
I hope this weekend to reset the phone to factory settings and verify if it keeps the same problem.
Check Wi-Fi sleep, and set it to off from Power Saving tab

I checked and is always on, no sleep.
Today is the day, I'm going to reset the phone to factory settings and then check if all is ok.
I'll be back once I have the result:fingers-crossed:
Before starting to reset the phone to factory settings, I made backup all my personal files and a recovery with TWRP if something wrong happened.
It seems to be all right after the whole process
I receive all notifications like any other phone in normal operation, no delay :good:
But before I celebrate, I will be alert to phone with daily use to make sure that everything continued well.
Thanks for all the help :good:
I asked this in the newbie thread, but no one has responded, so I'm trying here as well.
I'm not good at this, so apologies if I use the wrong terminology.
The "Encrypt phone" option in the Settings menu on my phone is missing -- according to several posts here, it's disabled by default on Huawei's ROM. Someone suggested to install a third-party Android launcher app. I did so, and gained access to the hidden encrypt phone menu, however, the option (the button) is greyed out.
Would rooting the phone and installing a custom ROM enable an "encrypt phone" option? If so, which method should I use to root it? And which custom ROM should I install? Would replacing the custom Huawei EMUI ROM with the Android 5.0 Lollipop stock ROM be helpful for enabling the option, for example?
How can I tell whether the phone is possibly already encrypted?
Some forum posts mention connection the phone via USB to my computer (Windows 7) and somehow, via a terminal command, force an encryption process. Does anyone know how to do that?
Data about the phone:
Model: HUAWEI CUN-L21
Version: CUN-L21C577B115, Android 5.1, EMUI 3.1
Let me know if you need more information. I'd be so grateful for any advice!

I believe you can try this:
https://www.jethrocarr.com/2013/12/29/encrypting-disk-on-android-4/
But probably they disabled encryption on your device because it will become very slow after encryption, but on the other hand you should be able to revert it quite easily, as long as you don't mind to restore your phone to factory settings.
Please let me know if this works for you
I have an at&t samsung s8 snapdragon Oreo. For some reason I deleted all my text message and I dont have a back up. In order to retrieve them back the software i purchased ask me to root my device. The problem is after i google all the internet forum I no where found root from oreo yet. So my question is if I downgrade to Nougat and root my device, am I still able to recover my files and text back. I know I probably need a clean install but the memory is not fully wipe and I know the files are still there somewhere right? Is it possible guys.. big thank you in advance everyone for the answer...ps. I really in a big trouble
Well, I guess the problem cant be solved

if you are able to downgrade and root the files will be over written by the downgrade and root method both leaving them more than likely gone
so pretty much you have to find a no root program that is capable of recovering them in oreo
Do you know by chance any software that really works without rooting? Thank you!!
Did you check your backups? Try to find an app that scans for deleted files, or a terminal command. Device manager most likely wiped the space.. probably shouldn't reboot the phone either..
Hi i have samsung s8 and have lost call record function and needed it several times.
I have tried loud speaker and changing settings but want to get it working again.
What is the best solution for this as i want to keep my banking apps working aswell so i cant root the phone
I have downloaded the firmware from sammobile for android 8 but before downgrading i have alot of photos and videos i am currently backing up.
I need to know if there are other solutions as i want to get all security patches and keep banking apps working but also keep call record. and android 8 will have vulnerability.
I have heard changing phone rom to another country may keep it updated but need help to which country can i change to that will allow call records.
from what i know - All Android 9 roms require Root.
So you have to downgrade to Android 8 if you dont want to root.
I have Android 9 and all my banking apps work, except for Samsung Pay.
Install Magisk and you can hide root detection for your banking apps. That way you can have Android 9 with Root and enable Call record - but still have your banking apps working.

I tried downgrading but it failed and i tried rooting my phone and successfully got to welcome screen after installing magisk but when i did a reboot it went into bootloop with "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"
I tried twice and get that message and can only install latest android 9.
I was on latest update prior to rooting so not sure if they stop flashing somehow.
I got unlock bootloader but cant flash anything as i get soft bricked.
