Rooted p9 update to latest.

Hello.
I have huawei p9 eval09c432b386 rooted twrp.
In system update menu there is 391, but cannot install cause the root. Trying firmware finder to latest approved 394.
First with dns changes - cannot install.
Then using proxy - the same, cannot install.
Download the 3 zips and install manually via twrp - gave some error code (5 or 7) and after reboot still the same version.
Is there any way to update without wipe, reinstall to latest stable version?
Thanks in advance!

FF with DNS or regular OTA update, same case, non-stock recovery and boot partitions prevent upgrade.
I had similar, b393 rooted by SuperSU and I wanted to upgrade to OTA b394
0) Made various backuups: TWRP (just in case), Backup app, HiSuite (not needed if you backup via Backup app), backup of Google and WhatsApp acc, local VCard backup of Contacts (not needed because of previously listed backups)
1) unrooted in SuperSU,
2) flashed through TWRP stock boot partition (I had TWRP backup before I did root) - this step is probably not needed because of step 1
3) wiped Dalwik and Cache and rebooted to system
4) ADB, Fastboot and flashed stock b393 recovery (in your case it would be stock b386 recovery)
5) booted to stock recovery and made factory reset - pretty sure this was not needed but I did (I later restored apps, etc, from backups)
6) booted to system, opened System Update, selected in its Settings Full Update (it will download 2 GB) - this step, per se, does not wipe your stuff, but step 5 does (although, I think 5 is not needed) and let it OTA update.
At the end, I restored critical staff from Backup app - it wouldn't be needed if I omitted (unnecessary?) step 5
See in the other thread, that post and two following
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74755692&postcount=421

Is there any another way to upgrade?
I think in one of forum threads there was zip, which can be installed via twrp without format backup restore procedure.
I prefer to backup my whole data and make fresh install of the latest version.

helping root p9 eva-L09C432B394

Hello.
I was participated in few subjects about this issue, so now I am asking again for help.
Short story.
I have Huawei p9 with b386 working twrp recovery and supersu. Next steps was upgrading to b394.
I make supersu full unistall from supersu app. Than flashing with nocheckrecovery
>fastboot flash recovery eva_l09b391_nocheckrecovery.img from this thread
>fastboot reboot
After that updated my device to b394 by OTA and everything was great.
Start to install recovery and supersu, but with my mistake was entering huawei recovery and I wipe my device, and bootloader was locked.
Unlocked it again and install twrp 3.1.1.1 open kirin from here - installed successfully.
Than flashed some version of supersu, I think 2.79 (which zip I don't kept) and root works ok. As everything was updated I decide to update supersu app, but then the problem appears.
When I am flashing any of SuperSU version, they were installed, but not worked. Here some picture
Then try different version of SuperSu (also two version ot 2.79), but still has no root. RootChecker says "Sorry, root access is not properly installed" , Adaway is stucking at home screee, ES File manager has no root explorer, terminal cannot make "su" and etc.
Try this method, but still same result
1. twrp -> flash -> UPDATE-unSU-signed.zip
2. restore original boot.img b394
fastboot flash boot L09-b394-BOOT.img
fastbook reboot
3. twrp -> advanced Wipe -> Wipe Dalvik/Cache and Cache only - reboot
4. twrp -> flash > SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-permissive.zip (no cleaning caches or else, never did before anyway)
Have you got any idea or try something different to have twrp and supersu on b394 without full wipe/clean/reset the device ?
Thanks in advance !

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74863763&postcount=857
You'lll need a clean b394 and TWRP to flash

I prefer original firmware, but if there no other solution...

When you like supersu install only v2. 82 sel permissive and busybox 1.27.2 YDS universal or magisk v 14.0 or beta 14.5. i like supersu but on this moment magisk is better. magisk must flash in recovery
---------- Post added at 08:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 AM ----------
Update via ota to b394. When system lock bootloader unlock them(fastboot maybe show red stat unlock). After factory reset low level flash twrp 3.1.1.1 open kirin not from twrp. me. After install twrp flash super su or magisk without factory reset from twrp. Download full ota from ota update (b391)

Magisk 14.5 beta give me some error at the beginning of flashing. Will try both versions 14.0 and 14.5 again and paste the results.

Finally I made this steps.
twrp -> flash -> UPDATE-unSU-signed.zip
Enter to fastboot mode
fastboot flash boot L09-b394-BOOT.img
fastboot flash recovery b394_recovery_stock.img
After quick setup start root+recovery procedure.
Enter fasbtoot mode
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-1-eva.img
Enter in twrp (vol up + power until logo) and flash SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-permissive.zip.
Everything seem to work ok.
Thanks all for helping !

I found what make supersu stop working.
When restoring from huawei backup app, there is option to restore "system data" than "settings".
So definitely it makes something.
How can I detect what is the reason after restoring this settings from systemdata huawei backup ?

[Q] how to update after rooting (magisk) ?

Hello
I was on B180 (PRA-LX1C432) rooted with magisk
No updates available in settings/update firmware, but connecting to PC HiSuite B194 appeared (which seems to be for Honor 8 lite by the way). It downloaded it, pushed it to phe phone, but when rebooting it goes to twrp... so obviously I'm still on B180
I imagine we have to flash back stock recovery before updating ? And then twrp again, magisk flash, etc ?
Thanks !

About OTA over magisk I found that on P9 forum:
1) unroot by Magisk Uninstaller, find the download link in the post https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...63&postcount=1
2) flash from TWRP original stock boot img
3) wipe Dalwik and Cache from TWRP
3) flash from fastboot original stock recovery
4) let it make OTA update but select in the System Update settings to use Full (not differential) update - it will not delete your apps and settings
maybe the safest way indeed...
But as I "catch" the full ota, maybe I can use fastboot to flash only system and boot, and the reflash magisk to patch new boot img ?
anyone ?

Nobody updated after root ??

Ok, this is what I did and happened:
- In TWRP, flash magisk uninstaller script: ERROR 1. After reboot magisk was still here. That was a bad start...
- So I opened magisk app, click Uninstall and then Complete Uninstall. After that I made a reboot as asked, and device rebooted twice.
- Then, went to download mode and flashed stock recovery. And reboot.
- Then went to settings/updates/download latest full ota. It downloaded but refused to start the install process claiming to free up more than 900MB... Nothing on my internal sdcard so I had to uninstall some apps... cool !
- Then it reboot and installed the update
- First boot took a while, I still have "this device cannot be trusted" on start, and OEM unlock in settings is grayed and ON, so I think the bootloader is still unlocked
- Theme and wallpapers were reset with the update
For now I don't have flashed back twrp neither magisk .

In the meantime have you flashed TRWP and Migistik ? And again: do you have still to update your signature or something went wrong in installing fw B194.
Lastly: what do you mean by "went to download mode and flashed"...

Flash stock updates when twrp is installed

I found an easy and convenient way to flash Huawei updates when twrp is installed. No data loss. In my case I updated from June to July patch without any hiccups.
1. Download the HWOTA8 folder zip to your device and extract it to the root of your SD card. I provided the link at the bottom of the tutorial.
2. Download the Huawei update and wait till it finished.
3. Boot to twrp and go straight to the HWOTA8 folder.
4. Now install the hwota8_update.zip, this will install a special no check version of the stock recovery.
5. After reboot you'll see a failed update attempt, ignore the message and boot to system.
6. Now that we have the stock recovery you can go straight to the update app in the settings and install the update.
7. After 5 minutes the update should be finished and the device will boot to system.
8. The bootloader will be still unlocked so you can modify again with twrp, magisk and so on. No data loss.

gude, tried this today to upgrade P10plus from .382 to .385. worked as promissed. afterwards just installed the TWRP and magisk to get back root. thx

Dear Sir,
Thank you for the clear and concise method for flashing stock updates when TWRP is installed.
Please help me with instructions how to upgrade my unlocked, rooted and TWRP installed Android 7 ROM to OREO.
My phone model number is: VKY-L09
Build number: VKY-L09C02B102
EMUI version: 5.1
Android: 7.0
Kernel: 4.1.18-gfd75bb
TWRP: 3.1.0-0

there is only one thing that makes me wonder: i cannot install a differential update, this always fails, so the complete package will download ( almost 3GB ), then the installation will be successful. any idea why?

Question Question about OTA update zip file

My phone M2102K1G came with IN ROM as I bought the phone in India during launch.
I unlocked bootloader and flashed Xiaomi.eu's fastboot ROM which is based on CN ROM and my model was then M2102M1C. I didn't like the Xiaomi.eu ROM and switched to Global MI fastboot Rom. Rooted as well. Very happy with this
I did not fastboot flash TWRP and left my phone on stock recovery. I have tested fastboot boot TWRP and that works well though the initial language (TWRP) is Chinese and you have to first switch the language to English. I haven't flashed anything via TWRP as yet.
My question is:
OTA zip file (Global MI Rom)
Can i flash it via TWRP?
Even though my phone is for the India IN region?
And if I can flash it via TWRP, then do I immediately flash with Magisk zip as well to keep root?
Thanks to anyone who had the patience to read through this and can hopefully reply.

In case you want update a stock ROM without TWRP and keep root throughout the updates here is my guide to do so.
Download on your phone latest recovery package manually from trusted websites. You can find the ROMs and firmware specific for your device on here https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/star/ remember to download the recovery version
Disable magisk modules and reboot
Upon reboot go to settings->system version->Miui(top left button)-> in the updater click several times on the main icon to unlock hidden settings->once unlocked tap on the three dots on the top right and select "choose update package"->browse your folder to find the downloaded recovery package,select it and press the V button on the bottom->update will start->wait until completion and reboot
Once rebooted follow the procedure to flash magisk.zip
Reboot the phone into fastboot
Connect phone to the pc
Boot into twrp
Once in twrp flash dalvik and cache
Flash magisk.zip and rewipe dalvik and cache
Reboot system and voila

Ok thanks.
I'm definitely gonna follow these steps the next time I get an OTA update.
Don't need to be rooted to flash boot TWRP is it?

No, you don't need,but you don't flash twrp, you just boot into twrp

If I have a unlocked and rooted phone with stock recovery, what happens if I just update normally via the stock update procedure? Will it not work?
Without disabling Magisk or anything and just updating.

Honestly I don't know but I can say that magisk wasn't fully working after updating without reflashing it

Okay.
So I cannot flash the OTA zip.
But have to update using the full recovery ROM for the updated version.
And then flash Magisk via fastboot boot TWRP

How will I get boot.img from the recovery ROM?
Only fastboot ROM will have boot.img

I think you have a bit of confusion, only thing you have to di is download magisk.zip on your phone, boot into twrp and flash it, simple

Yes, you will probably have to reinstall Magisk as root will more than likely be broken. The update server still sees a stock rom and as long as you have stock recovery, the stock OTAs will work.

The guide posted above explains properly the steps. Will try that next time around.
