[Q] Unlock Bootloader B609 + recovery

Hi everyone
I recently updated to B609 and (as expected) my phone was un-rooted.
I decided it would be better for me to just install a ROM instead of waiting for a new way to ROOT every time a new OTA comes out. (I have seen some very interesting ones that include Xposed)
This would be the first time i install a ROM on one of my phones but i do know how to use custom recovery's and i will always keep a copy of a backup close so i can flash back when something goes wrong.
A problem i have with starting all of this: I can't seem to find a way to unlock the Bootloader on my phone.
I have looked online but i always get links for older versions/other phones/German stuff.
Second problem: The recovery. As far as i understand, there is no working TWRP for EMUI3.0. BUT there should be a working CMW recovery. Should i go fot CMW?
Third problem: Which ROM? There are 3 that grabbed my attention. Se7en-Rom (But it seems like it hasn't been updated in a while), My-RoM (which seems the most interesting for me at the moment) and Miui (which i just found out about). Which should i go with or should i use another one? I can already say that i want my phone Rooted and Xposed is something i would love to have back (since i used to have it on my previous phone).
Any advice and help would be appreciated

I have a P7-L10 with B609. I was able to successfully root it with RootGenius. When you root it, the bootloader is unlocked at the same time. As far as I can tell, the root is 100%. As for CWM, you can get it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/development/mods-tweaks-kernels-recoverys-emui-2-3-t2966670
TWRP doesn't work with B609/emui3.0.
My L10 has faulty flash memory and won't accept a custom recovery, so I can't test CWM or any custom ROMs. Perhaps others can advise. Good luck!

RootGenius was the first thing i tried. It went up to 66% then i got an error but that was a fully Chinese version.
I just tried it again with the one i found by using Google and it goes up to 72%, then tells me that the root has failed.
Which version did you use?

This is what I used and it worked fine (root genius): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789337
As for bootloader, as far as I know from, starting with firmware 133 (Emui 2.3) all devices have unlocked bootloader
CWM is the only custom recovery for the moment;
Did not try any custom ROM (I'm happy with stock ROM for the moment).
Cheers

That's the first one i tried out. The first few times it ended in an Error. I tried it again today and when my phone reboots during the process, RootGenius loses contact with my phone.
And there is a bootloader-ish thing, but the only options i have is reboot, factory reset and cache wipe.

Hmmm, strange problem. Assuming you have the latest version of HiSuite installed and your drivers are current, all I can suggest is trying again with RootGenius (I used version 1.8.7) with your firewall and antivirus disabled or perhaps trying with Vroot. If you do decide to try Vroot it probably won't work unless you disable your firewall and antivirus.

I disabled my firewall and antivirus and gave RootGenius another try. Normally it goes up to 71% and gives me the error. Now it went to 71%, rebooted and then it gave me the error. The weird part is that right before i get the error, it says the installation is complete.
Moved on to Vroot (which is called Iroot now apparently) . It took a while longer but it wasn't able to do it either.

Get in bootloader mode, if your bootloader is unlocked, it will be written and highlighted with red color. I will point out again, starting with firmware B133 (Emui 2.3) all bootloaders for L10 version (I don't know for Chinese versions) are unlocked
Cheers.

update to b615 and flash or just flash this >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/development/b615-unlocked-boot-img-t3050926 and use rootgenius remove inmutable etc...

You were right! (not that i every doubted you). I found the problem i had: For some reason, i couldn't boot in bootloader trough my phone BUT i was able to do it with 'adb reboot bootloader'. After making some idiotic mistakes and having to re-flash the stock ROM, I finally was able to install My-RoM v3.3, its rooted, i have Xposed so i am happy
So thank everyone for the help!

[GUIDE] Unbrick Huawei P8 Lite 2017 PRA-LX1 No Brand

Hi folks
When I get back the device from Huawei services, I receive a boot.img without encryption that let me able to backup and restore the firmware hundred times without errors .
In this tutorial I'll show you how to do that without need to bring the phone to Huawei services to reset the software, starting from now can be done as well.
Requirements:
Unlocked bootloader, you know how to do that.
My own TWRP, that authorized Huawei store told should use my own TWRP to restore the phone, so get it from here by downloading the latest version.
Stock firmware, click here to download it, it's for single sim only.
Stock IMGS that needed for decrypt and to re-enable the encryption once firmware has been done with restoration, click here to download them.
7 zip to unpack the tar.gz.
Code:
[CENTER][COLOR="Red"][SIZE="4"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Please read the steps carefully because I'm not going to repeat them for each user, thanks[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER]
Reset Steps:
Download the C432B161.
Unpack the .tar.gz archive with 7 zip.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Rename from C432B161 to TWRP.
Copy to the Internal Storage.
Reboot to TWRP Recovery by the following command.
in the IMGS archive you will find a bootimage called boot.img, rename it to boot.emmc.win and copy to TWRP->BACKUPS->57UDU17709001769->2017-10-18--12-03-00_NRD90M_test-keys -> replace it and then follow the video
Go to the TWRP.
Wipe everything except the external_sd (the path where you copy the backup)
Tab on Restore.
Choose the copied backup make sure to rename from C432B161 to TWRP to match.
Select all partitions.
Swipe the screen and wait until finish.
Reboot to bootloader once done.
In the IMGS.tar.gz there is a file caller boot.img flash via fastboot as boot and will get booted like charm
Warning:
You are not allowed to copy or steal the files of my guide without ask my permissions.
Because I take almost week to upload the firmware after many times of failing upload.
Mention this guide for who looking helps to restore this device.
If I saw any piece of my contents in other threads, I'll report as abuse and ask a moderator to close his thread because I already saw someone rename my recovery and put it inside his thread without asking permission. that's all.
This guide could be helpful for who want to debrand his device, so we need tester.
to enable dual sim: you must flash an oeminfo partition from dual sim firmware.
Happy restoring.

Can I change from dualsim to monosim with this guide?

to be honest, I can't confirm since is the full backup from my single device.
in case dual sim still appear even after restore, you have to flash the single sim oeminfo partition.

converting from dual to single. But after restoring the fw remains b182, not 161

yup because some partitions is upgraded to b182 (dual sim), same thing happen to me b181 (single sim). for converting to single sim, I'll upload the oeminfo partition soon.
Note: this operation might will lock bootloader/frp automatically, so I recommend to check them via fastboot mod.

When oeminfo?

Looks like the images gone bad, and now point:

can be quite challenging
Wiped cache/data/system and restored everything that I was allowed to from your backup.
Meanwhile I changed name of directory: TWRP\BACKUPS\57UDU17709001769\2017-10-18--12-03-00_NRD90M_test-keys to
TWRP\BACKUPS\9DC7N17A17006059\2017-10-18--12-03-00_NRD90M_test-keys in order to make the backup visible in TWRP Restore menu.
(Hope that didn't change anything?)
Then I completed your "Reset Steps" tutorial, reboot and [...]
that hilarious green screen is still in place of previous Huawei:
After initial configuration my first impression was that I downloaded wrong backup, cause it looks more like the Elite ROM V6 (5 icons at bottom-screen menu, google searchbar, additional options (4 rows instead of 2) in upper-scroll menu and the pinkish-purple wallpaper) even the blinking NFC problem I had with that ROM is present there, but yet it's not that one. All informations in settings>about phone are from your backup, I even checked if the Android Studio will find my phone - and it did! That was unavaible in HassanMirza01's ROM.
So there's my question - does it suppose to look that way? Or I just messed something really hard and the visual theme files from previous OS's stayed somehow on my phone?
Don't take me wrong - after this tutorial I ended up with fully functional, nice looking (as soon as I change the pinkish wallpaper...) smartphone, so I'm really happy thanks to you!
Anyway I found it also interesting how the GreenScreen could ended up in such a place, so I'll try to figure that out.

even if downgraded will keep on b182 because some partitions will not downgraded since my twrp is designed to backup/restore only necessary partitions for fully worked firmware.

I also had to rename TWRP\BACKUPS\57UDU17709001769\2017-10-18--12-03-00_NRD90M_test-keys to
TWRP\BACKUPS\<my device ID visible in adb devices>\2017-10-18--12-03-00_NRD90M_test-keys in order to make the backup visible in TWRP Restore menu, thanks @Sixter. Please update the first page accordingly.
But even doing so, when coming to Huawei eRecovery I'm still stuck with "Getting package info failed" issue, I cannot get back EMUI yet. Any hint?

Notes
1) It has been confirmed that's working on EMUI 4.1. However, it haven't been tested on EMUI 5 and i don't know if encryption is working. If it is working, you won't have to format /data. So, i would be glad if someone could test it.
2) I've chose the red color because it looks kinda cool and it's also easy to know which recovery you're using. In future, i may change it back to blue or i may change it to other color (like teal). I may also do it like @Meticulus did for his TWRP's (red color when you're on EMUI and blue when you're on LineageOS etc.) or maybe a new color every time you go to recovery lol.
3) There are still some things with blue color. I'll look into it more as I'd like to change the whole blue color. I wanna do it in the source code.

If you meant chinese language, then it doesn't have it as far as i can see. If you meant the chinese model of Nova, well it should work on all models.

I don't have any problem with backups. I've made backups and restored them without any problem. As for OTG, I don't have the possibility to test that.

Well, seems the sd card was buggy, replaced it with a new samsung evo and
everything went smooth from there. (seems ext sd is the only selectable storage).
Now, have you noticed the warning about "project" part during backup?
is it normal?

I'm not sure what you mean and I don't remember seeing this, but it's also possible that I've just missed it.
Could you share a screenshot? You can take screenshots in recovery just like you do when your phone is booted. You can also share a recovery log.

Actually, It's Product no Project!
I PM'd you the recovery.log
nothing important I guess?

I haven't received any PM. Maybe it's XDA's fault as it looks like it's fucked up. All my posts were delayed today and noticed the same thing at other users.
Well, I didn't have this problem, but /product has some files (like acdbata, needed for audio) which EMUI uses and LineageOS or other ROMs too (since it's using blobs from EMUI). So, this could be a problem for ROMs like Lineage, but I think you can just fastboot the product.img after you extract it from update.app (stock firmware).
You can also try to restore this TWRP backup of product partition and restore it.

Thanks, as you may read the log later, it gave 2 errors at beginning and the end that it could not read or open Product. something like that.
I'm still on B151 MM Rom , will this backup of product work with any version?

Ok , my fear came true, long story short: I installed latest rom via FF app and bootloop began.
tried many ways, didnt work. flashed twrp again and tried to restore that nandroid backup, turns out those 2 errors were serious: failed to mount cust, failed to mount product, system goes near end then another error and quits. only boot and data seems restored fine.
while i'm going to try that smoochi's backup (bless him) , can you please recheck to see if my case was some isolated issue or there is something to fix about this reccovery?
thanks

Hi...youve learned the lesson...never install from FF...ive been using twrp for quite a while on my nova plus and never had such problems except once cuz i tried to restore a backup that ive done format/data...then got into bootloop..
What are you planning to use...emui4 or 5 ?

Ok, I restored with smoochi backup then updated to B341 , now cust is gone
(no update in setting either) so went to reflash this twrp , but it seems unlocking bootloader is not enough, now says FRP locked! wtf??
I already hate this android 7! I'll get back to 6 first chance i get !

I had same problem...theme manager not working...file and updade manager gone so...
Frp locked is OEM unlock in developement...it must be ON...
Im still on emui4 and will stay on it ?

EMUI 9 root updates

I just looked up a few threads about rooting EMUI 9.
The one and only who kinda managed to do it is the developer of Magisk John Wu.
If you wanna stay updated about rooting EMUI 9 on Huawei P20pro, you should follow this guy:
EMUI9 root
still NO EMUI 9 kernel sources released

Rooting / Magisk is one thing. I think in addition to that we also need a working twrp or some recovery for Emui 9 to be able to flash stuff with relative ease. On top of that the OEM unlock option is greyed out which is problematical itself. So, this is all gonna be a bit complicated.

Well, there is a modded versions of TWRP Mate Rs Porsche with working decryption and for most people including me, oem-unlock is not greyed out when you have unlocked frp and unlocked bootloader.
I'm on the final of EMUI 9. So the last important thing would be a rooted EMUI 9 to get some important things working.

Unlocked frp = oem unlock enabled in dev options
Unlock bootloader and frp itself doesn't cause "enable oem unlock" being greyed out. It's not getting greyed out just by upgrading to pie either. Upgrade to pie and factory reset does!
Good to know about twrp working on p20 pro

his point is, even you got the question wrong,
no files from that list will root your emui 9 simply by flashing any of it,
you gonna need a copy of RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img pulled from update.app of latest emui 9.0 firmware,
copy it to device with latest canary magisk & magisk manager installed,
patching the .img using that canary manager, and you will get patched_boot.img stored in download folder in that device,
copy it to your pc and flash it to recovery_ramdisk partition using fastboot,
or if you really are that lazy, simply download the prepatched one here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rhl405-ALbYrtGHilrNUR5Fuq4yATvTH/view?usp=drivesdk
and flash it from fastboot to your recovery_ramdisk partition

Thanks for help

It will seem dumb for some of you but important to me and others (i Hope there are some lol)..... so just to be clear :
1- do we have to follow these steps AFTER installing emui 9 ? coming from emui 8.1 161 with evira kernel and using mods i wanna start 100% fresh because first time i installed emui 9 163 i came back a week later because of battery consuption that was way worse and real bad SOT so it's major to me to proceed the best way - i have to go first to twrp and wipe all, data+system+caches before flashing emui 9 ?
2- any reason not to use the easiest way ? why to prefer the complicated one : pulling the file from update.app and copy and etc....?
3- magisk modules will be usable ?
Thanks to those of you who will bring light or give me confident in re-installing pie.
And of course merry Christmas everyone

1. Steps is for rooting, if you wanna start fresh, you can consider wiping /data after update. So none of your previous mods data no cache will tag along to your EMUI 9
2. Reason is, the difference of firmware versioning betweem region. You told me you updated to .163. My prepatched ramdisk is from C636 .168, although most of the time it can work universally across region and version (just like how custom recovery work in a universal way), there's no telling what huawei actually did between version update. So its always best to use and patch your own file. Since it will give you confidence, its your own doing after all.
3. I use youtubevanced, LKT, systemless host, swap torpedo, busybox and detach magisk modules, all work just fine on EMUI 9. You only need to redownload and reinstall all the modules (if you didnt wipe data, like me), because installation from oreo version wont work straight away on EMUI 9.
for extra information, SafetyNet and MagiskHide all working as well. I can use my banking app just fine.
as for precaution info,
i suggest you to use the flashy tools to install EMUI 9 from PC instead of using HuRU,
i did the HuRU way, and ends up with a messed up software serial number and broken recovery partition, meaning i can't flash TWRP, stock recovery nor a patched recovery ramdisk to acquired root. It will all fall to an error screen, telling me no recovery image available inside the system, and ask me to update system again. Fortunately the phone still boot just fine to system.
scratched my heads for hours until i manage to resolved it by flashing Recovery META and Recovery Vendor image through fastboot. After that i can reflash stock recovery, and the patched one (after i confirm stock one work fine)

Thanks a lot for your answers.

Another weebified custom ROM aiming to be a home for weebs - Based on Project Materium, an optimized LineageOS-based Android aftermarket firmware with extra features, developed by people all over the world.
Quoting the LineageOS description:
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

We offer vanilla, GApps and AuroraOSS variants. If you install a vanilla variant, the only supported GApps package is MindTheGapps (GApps/AuroraOSS builds are not available for a few devices due to space issues).
Download & instructions:
Install MIUI 12.5 if you have updated to anything Android 12.
Fully install custom recovery of your choice.
Flash the ROM. You can also sideload it with ADB if you want to.
!!! If you'll flash Magisk, you'll need to enable "Reflash (recovery) after installing a ROM" after choosing the ZIP as well !!!
After flashing, reboot to recovery.
Format data.
Flash Magisk if you want to.
Reboot to system and enjoy!
Download (Taken down due to discontinuation)
IMPORTANT: If you are coming from another ROM, you need to format data (TWRP > Wipe > Format Data > *type "yes"*).
IMPORTANT: If you want to keep Magisk after each OTA, you need to make it flash to inactive slot **right before rebooting** (Magisk > Install (In "Magisk" card) > Install to inactive slot)
About:
Features:
Latest security patches merged from LineageOS
SafetyNet passing unconditionally without Magisk/with kdrag0n's SafetyNet fix
Many optimizations coming from Stellar OS/Project Materium/droid-ng
New wallpapers & bootanimation
QS customization (tint, rows customizer, data usage)
Status bar customization (4G/LTE toggle, new NFC & VoLTE icons)
Kill app from notification
Notification pulse
KitKat-style notification ticker
Screenshot sound toggle
Per-app volume
WiFi & Bluetooth timeout
Smart Charging & Cutoff
Sensor, Wakelock and Alarm blocker
Battery info on lockscreen
Improved microG support (signature spoofing, location support)

Almost everything
Bugs:
Microphone doesn't work when speaker is enabled during calls.

I could never get used to MIUI myself so I feel you. For custom ROMs, there are quite a lot built (buildbotted) with practically the same bugs as well; you can check them out in respective Telegram groups/channels!

Hey there,
First of all, thx for bringing this
what about fast charging in these?
Would it work as expected?
Or as in every other GSI custom build i tested it doesn't work, and was kinda disappointing :/
Will the fix module be merged in the rom, making possible the avoid of magisk installing? Actually don't Care bout su and want m'y banking app to work
Hope to get your opinion soon

i followed the instructions to flash it down to the letter but cannot get it to boot. the phone will show the kasumi logo for a couple of minutes then just boots to fastboot. i am using orangefox recovery if that helps.

Have you tried with TWRP from Woomy?
All my previous tests were made with TWRP and appart i sometimes forget to format data After flash, once i did, it worked

Did smtg else this evening, worked on a project, that isn't related at all to Android flashing x)
I also got a RN10S with NFC, maybe something related to variants?
Edit1: gonna try flashing Kasumi 1.3 PoPiPa Auroraoos 20220721; will update the post soon
Edit2: Kasumi auroraoos bootloop actually, reflashed auroraoos boot.img still bootlooping;
Gonna try with Kasumi classic, latest build to see
Edit3: Kasumi official 20220721 boolooping as well
Edit4: Will do a last attempt with Kasumi 20220716
Last attempt worked, I successfully booted up Kasumi, but with several differences
1- Backed up Pics and other important things for me;
2- Unlocked BL - Mi Unlock BL Tool latest version;
3- Switched Rom from 12.5.18EU to 12.5.16G with Mi Flash version 2018.5.28.0 (select fastboot rom, refresh, clean all, flash);
4- Booted once to get system settled
5- Installed TWRP from Womymy, booted on it
6- Switched Slot to B, Reflashed current recovery and rebooted from inside TWRP
NO I didn't, I switched to Slot B, reflashed recovery, got plenty errors, didn't rebooted in the end.
7- MTP mounted Storage and passed the zip rom
8- Flashed Kasumi, flashed again TWRP with the toggler while flashing rom, then directly formated format data,
9- Booted rom successfully!
still no fast charge, will keep it tough
@windowz414
Well done porting LOS dude!
Completely debloated
But still 13Go system
Little problem on CPU info
Battery seems good, phone is responsive, all the things that can be tweaked my god , bushido! Notification makes me smile

I use the OFOX from Woomy and it works with it too, so it's not recovery fault.
You mentioned firmware requirement there, good shot! Glad to see someone that's not from the development team finally noticing it!

The vbmeta required is shipped along with the ZIP itself, so whether if you disable it or not, you can always keep verity enabled AS LONG AS YOU DON'T MODIFY ANYTHING INCLUDING INSTALLATION OF TWRP. The boot problem was due to some missing permissions required with Lawnchair 12.0, which was platform-specific issue. I have mitigated it as the lead developer of Kasumi and now just waiting for LineageOS to merge August '22 ASB on their Lineage 18.1 branches to ship newer builds. Until then, I have placed a little flashable that you can slap in on the recovery. It's global (means will work on all devices with latest Kasumi build installed). In fact, all it does is just putting the new permission XML file.

Not at all. Even though I have Secret, everything should be around the same across all variants, given that Woomy also tested it only for NFC during initial bringup before.

As I said previously, it's what system reports presumably due to some SEL denials. I tried to get as many as possible sorted out, still no luck. But just as a fact, it actually is fast charging.

Well, thank you I guess. ^^;
Before I begin with replies to these, just referring to "dude", I'm a girl so I would prefer you calling me with "dudess" or "dudette" instead. Again, all up to you. No forces here.
The debloat is rather Lineage talent, I really just based on Materium and added things on top.
That 13 GB system partition is something that's coming from partition values from source, so whatever you do unless you flash GSI, it will always be 13 GB. See GitHub:Kasumi-Devices/[email protected]/BoardConfig.mk (Partitions section, BOARD_SYSTEMIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE flag) for more info.
Eh, I still can't find a way to get CPU info properly, I guess it's related to kernel? Unsure though.
And some more tweaks will come as well, just stay tight! I'm working hard on another update! ;3

Unfortunately no. Kasumi 1.x.x are all Android 11. Android 12 Kasumi will be possible only once our internal tests will be done and I finally finish working on Kasumi v2. Hundreds hyped, gradually widening audience, looking into the release of it. xD
