rooted Huawei P10 and update OTA - Huawei P10 Questions & Answers

Hello everybody.
I'm a new member in this very helpful forum because I need to ask rather than read already existing threads that didn't help that much...
First of all, I'm sorry for my English. My mother tongue is German.
I'm a very happy owner of a unlocked and rooted VTR-L09C432B150.
One week ago, I received the message that OTA 162 is available now.
I know, the forum is overfilled with questions about that problem but anyway, I still don't feel very well advised...
I figured out, that there are many ways to solve the problem. Let me tell you the ways I know and where I stuck.
Redlotus is a way but it seems that many users were not successful with installing a new firmware.
Firmware Finder is the other chance but actually it seems to be not working for P10 Devices because nobody knows the correct partitions that are needed?
I'm not very experienced about modding and all these ways seem to be very riskfull to brick my P10.
How did you update your phone in the easiest way?
I would also relock and flash the stock recovery before installing the OTA and get backto unlocked bootloader and TWRP after. Very annoying but it is OK. The functionality to back up system data (settings etc) is given by System app (save/restore), right?
May I use the eRecovery function to get back to stock recovery with unlocked bootloader? Didn't find any answer and don't want to do heavy mistakes.
Ok a lot of questions and much to explain. Sorry for that but I'm sure you can help me patiently.
Thanks.

[Q] Rooting and OTA's

*I'm getting this out of the way first.* I know this may be a very stupid question to some of you, but I've looked on multiple threads and posts about this topic and have gotten mixed results and answers, so I thought this would be the best site to get a definitive answer.
I just got my Nexus 6 through AT&T today and wanted to root it to get rid of the very annoying AT&T splash screen you get when you turn the phone on. I know how to root and unlock the bootloader, but when I do that will I still be able to get OTA updates from Google without any fancy flashing or things like that? I'm sticking with stock Android and I'm not installing any custom ROMs. I know on a lot of other phones you can get OTA updates when rooted, but you have to install them manually. If it's too much of a hassle I just won't root it.
Thanks in advance,
Robert (Mokedoke)
It's better explained in other threads. But no, you can't take OTA. If you unlock only I believe you'll be fine. But as soon as you modify system files it won't work for OTA. Lollipop checks for these changes and the install will fail out.
You won't be able to get the OTA, but you can manually flash your phone to get the latest ROM and with out loosing data. Search the forum there directions to show you how.

update 5.1 lmy4ze with ota on new vzw xt1103 or stay stock?

Wondering if I should update downloaded ota then root or will the update screw things up like locking my boot loader and installing things I don't want or that will make customizing more difficult or impossible? Have had real bad luck with Verizon ota's in the past when it comes to rooting, unlocking, jailbreaking etc... And from what I've been reading on other threads this and other nexus ota updates have been really buggy especially with WiFi and BT. Mine works perfect right now and all I really want is to root it and remove the update file and turn off the update app. Thanks in advance for any advice.

If you want root, first thing you should do is unlock the bootloader. Second thing you should do is read all the threads regarding root in the SuperSU subforum. Third thing is you want marshmallow because battery life, in my experience, is far better.
I haven't experienced any buggy WiFi or BT with either of my N6s. Just because you had bad luck in the past doesn't mean you'll have the same experience with this phone. The only bad luck you'll encounter would come from your own inexperience.

Its a Nexus. Even Verizon ota's won't lock it. Update it, unlock the boot loader before or after. Flash back, flash forward, flash sideways. It is all up to you. The entire os/image is downloadable from Google, it is a fully ipen phone.
There are no widespread problems with Marshmallow. It is great. You get that impression because only the people with problems post.
So I would stop reading threads about problems and just read the threads about flashing and customizing.
Take the ota's up to the current version.
Unlock the bootloader.
Flash TWRP.
Flash systemless root version 2.65 from chainfire.
That will get you started.
Thanks for the advice all, did the updates, unlocked the boot loader & rooted. Easiest phone ever to mod !

Stuck on marshmallow forever??

I wonder if anyone else is having my kind of issue? I spoke to Huawei support through the HiCare app last week. I enquired about emui 5.0 coming to the p9 in the UK. They told me it has been rolling out in waves for the past 5 weeks and it will make its way to me as soon as but could be as late as june. I mentioned that it is C432 software running on my phone and I asked them could they not push it manually to my phone. They told me no they can't do that, it has to be approved by all the networks first, even if my phone is unlocked and running C432 software. I also mentioned that it is on B166 and it's security patch was dated june 2016, they didn't seem to bothered by that. So I came on here and managed to flash B182 and that worked so I tried to move on to a package with emui 5.0 and all the ones I tried fail whilst installing and there is still no update available on the phone. Am I going to be on Marshmallow forever? Sorry for the rant.
Cheers
Just do it yourself manually then....
I used this guide and it worked fine... https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70594380&postcount=2
Went from B182 to B361 and the phone then updated itself to B378 straight away (which is the recommended route)
If you then want to root, you can flash TWRP & the special SuperSU from here... https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/twrp-t3565703
Easy as 3.141592...
I might end up doing that. I didn't want to go down that route as I didn't have a lot of success with that last time. Thanks for the reply.

Is it not fairly easy to brick the phone using these non OTA methods?

In my opinion... No. Not if you follow the guides/rules.
No offence to anyone intended, but I think most problems are caused by people flashing the wrong rom/package without really searching & checking its the correct one. How many times do you see posts/threads on here asking questions that were answered a couple of posts before or in the previous thread?
I've been flashing roms and stock updates on various model phones for quite a few years and never had any issues like soft bricks. A few bootloops granted, but never a brick! I always follow the guides people on here write, to the letter, even though I'm sure I know enough to work it out myself.
And what's more important, I have my "disaster recovery" planned and ready...just in case things do go pear shaped!

I wish i was on C432. I'd be flashing nougat myself. I'm on O2 UK with C40B190 version. From what I've read i have to jump through a lot of hoops just to get to C432. Then I can go to Nougat. Was told updates were coming in March but nothing happened.......

I have have a L09 running C432B182 on my phone which was sourced from O2.
Should I not then automatically go to Nougat via OTA?

Yes in due course, but it seems to be taking a while for the OTA to "arrive" on individuals phones, that's why people are doing it manually.
If you don't mind waiting then don't bother, it'll happen eventually.

How am i on C40190 then if you got yours from O2 too. It makes no sense. I'll be debranding when i get some free time.
your instructions worked perfect for me thank you went from 166 > 182> 361> 378 just as described mine would not update either

Cheers pal. I've been doing my homework and will be following your guide. Just need some free time to do it. How long does it take roughly? Sorry for another question but do i have to enable OEM unlocking in the developer settings.
on every reboot the phone would take 5 mins i left mine connected to pc at all times

Can't remember precisely, but if you allowed 20-30 mins for each rom flash (including reunlocking & reflashing twrp when needed etc) you'd probably be on the right side of the actual timing overall.
Read up on the instructions for each step, download everything you need in advance & I have a separate sdcard on standby with the b136 rom on it to start again from step 1 if things go pear shaped (you can do this up to the nougat step, after then you have to downgrade back to MM first)
Yes, enable oem unlocking and make sure you're confident on using adb/fastboot, unlocking the bootloader and flashing twrp.
Come back & ask questions if you have issues, although I'm not an expert (maybe an enthusiastic amateur!), so probably best to ask in the thread relating to the bit you had problems with.

Completely agree.. People do not take time enough to read carefully not only the how-to or guides but the whole thread to read other users doubts or bad experiences to avoid fall in same errors... Rush=>possible errors...
So please take your time torl read carefully and make a checklist step by step quite easy amd safe to change chat and then flash full b136 and enjoy the updates!
But carriers shouks/could treat their customer better and release more frequently the official updates with their bloatware to avoid force people to find workaround....

Sorry if this has been asked... I have a P9 (EVA-L09) on B134. I'm lost. There are so many different guides when searching... Any help would be great! It has been a long time since I've messed with any of this - Samsung S5 era.
Thanks for all the help. Managed to do this correctly yesterday.

Canadian P20 Pro version CLT-L04, Questions about Magisk and bootloader unlock

Hi! I picked up my Canadian P20 Pro last week and couldn't be happier. It's been many years since I've owned a rootable device though and a lot has changed! I've done my best to read through all the guides for rooting the P20 Pro and it's only lead to further confusion as there seem to be many recent advancements. There seem to be a lot of different versions of this phone too. So I have some questions I'm hoping someone can answer easily! Let's assume my bootloader is already unlocked....
1) there's a really great guide on rooting the P20 Pro using All In One tool. But that requires flashing TWRP to achieve root using Magisk. I do not require TWRP as I only want root and do not wish to flash any roms.
a) is there a way to root with Magisk and NOT flash TWRP? I can't seem to find a straight answer on this...
b) failing that, can TWRP safely be removed and keep root afterward?
2) after unlocking the bootloader I was welcomed by a terrifyingly orange warning about my now 'unsafe' phone. I've read mixed things on hiding this. Is there currently a way to hide it?
3) how does the process work for OTA updates on an unlocked bootloader assuming there is no TWRP? I've read differing opinions on the necessity of flashing a no_check.img to the ramdisk and have no understanding of the new security checks on these phones. Can I run risk of bricking my phone through an automated update?
Ultimately I'm scared of forgetting TWRP is on my phone and accepting an update that'll brick it. Any information is welcome as are similar questions!
I am also curious if there is a good root process for this phone. Find anything yet?

I have a Canadian CLT-L04 that i rebranded and rooted to CLT-L29 with the guide on here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...de-how-to-root-debrand-remove-retail-t3788326
if you want better firmware compared to version 109 thats still on clt-l04 you can follow this guide, it worked well for me. (don't wait canadian OTA it'll take too long)
1) quite sure that TWRP is the easiest and safest way to root. Currently unaware of a better way to root the phone.
b) if you remove TWRP by flashing a stock recovery_ramdisk, root is kept. If you do an OTA though you might lose root.
2) thats here to stay i believe. Cannot find a way to hide it currently.
3)In this guide under the "install an OTA Stock Update: PC Method" you will find all the information you need.
cheers
I finally found the info I needed in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...ide-getting-started-unlock-twrp-root-t3806180
Overall it was a very simple process and took less than an hour including reading. Once you've got your bootloader unlock code the all in one tool handles it from there. Unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP, reboot into TWRP, flash Magisk and you're done. You can flash the no_check file over TWRP if you want to be ready for updates but I decided to leave TWRP on for now. Loving having root on this phone so far!
On a different note, has anyone discovered any ROMs for this phone yet that can handle the notch? I almost tried Lineage until I found out there is no notch support. I've grown strangely fond of the thing for some reason lol

If you do a full backup of the L04 in TWRP before rebranding you should be able to go back to it easily at any time, just remember to save it somewhere safe other than the phone itself. If you've already flashed and are looking to go back you may find someone willing to share a stock backup if you ask around. But always best to do your own backup first, then you can go back whenever you like!

Anyone unlocked bootloader and rooted recently for the L04 model with 120(C792) Sept-2018 update?
Im scared to update before unlocking and rooting as the update might do something to fastboot etc. (this has happened to LG)
If not, then Ill update but if so, Ill just not update and unlock it as it is.

It's really easy to update once you've unlocked, I would suggest unlocking first if you have concerns. I have an L04 as well and just updated to 120 with no problems.

Hey, Thanks djparent, I unlocked and updated as you suggested.
Everything working properly, just need to root/twrp etc. now.

No problem, glad it worked for you. I've soft bricked and recovered my phone a few times now experimenting so if you run into any problems I'm happy to help! Lots to learn with the P20.
I have a CLT-L04 8.1.0.136 C69 with October security patch from Mexico I want to rebrand it to CLT- L29 to get wifi calling and get rid of all the bloatware. Could I use this tutorial from dladz's tutorial:

One of the notes mentions the following: I) ]NOTE*** If you are on a later firmware than 120, please do not attempt this guide!!
I have only rooted one phone before in my life so I am no expert. I do no want to mess up my phone becuse it is the only one that I have. Also If I unlock the boot loader and rebrand can i get OTAs and the upcoming Pie release? Thanks for the help!
LineageOS 15.1 on L04

Did you install it with a locked bootloader ? I really dont feel like paying for an unlock code. Would like to try Lineage though.

I do have an unlocked bootloader. Truth is i'm addicted to Rom's lol. That in mind I have tried every Rom, kernel, flash-able zip within this Forum and I can't brick this thing. L04 Canadian. Lineage is the best Rom for our device.
Roms that work:
- Lineage - Hauwei camera can be installed and works, dark mode works well.
------- Doesn't work: USB-C audio, NFC, RAW Option in the camera, Second ear piece as speaker, main speaker works well.
- First Ever Android 9 - Being the first build it works well. (Note: When I installed this rom I never installed the RemoveEncryption-P20Pro.zip) Seemed to work just fine without it. I did run it just because I wanted to see if it would brick my phone. It didn't.
-------Doesn't work: Dark mode, NFC, RAW Option in camera, Second ear piece as speaker, main speaker works well, seems to kill TWRP. eRecovery needed to get TWRP to function.
- AOSP 9 - Berkeley-Flex - Do Not Use...not ready.

What did you use to unlock your bootloader ? Funky ? Also I know what you mean I am addicted to Roms as well :laugh: Thanks for all the info I really appreciate it.

Rooting Pie

Hi
I will have my N960F/DS in a couple of weeks. I prefer not to root it for at least a couple of months in case of any warranty issues. However, by then it should have upgraded to Pie. Does anyone know whether the current root methods will work under Pie? Do they work under the current beta?
If your phone has an unlocked bootloader, pie won't change that. You're probably thinking about the exploit days that new updates patched.
So yes, it will be rooted as soon as the devs build twrp.
Great! Thanks!
Similar problem
I have a brand new N960FD and im have the "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed" because i installed twrp and tried to do so with no-verity-encrypt and RMM state bypass. but now im stuck and i don't know what to do to root my new phone... (with magisk, which didn't work as well....)
I just want pie with root and no trouble.
Anyone can help me ?

read carefully Dr.ketans post in the general discussion. its pinned.
nothing anyone can do for you that you can't do by yourself by reading. i would also suggest you to read throught Docs whole pinned thread(user comments) and then do the same thing with the twrp thread in the dev section.
all issues and questions have come up sooner or later. you just need to want to take time and read.
down the line, you'll have also more questions and these answers would probably answer themselves after those 2 reads.( might be a lengthy read but sure beats having a phone that is not operating like you want it to)
Samsung account problem
I have the same model, n960fd, rooted with magisk tests checked, everything is fine, but when i want to connect to a samsung account, it loops and ask me again for the password, non stop.
Is there any known solution ?
Please help
