Hey All,
I've spent days now scouring the web looking for anyone and anything to root my G920A running G920AUCU3CPD6 (Marshmallow 6.0.1). There is absolutely nothing I could find. I have queried just about every method, and I have several emails out to various developers, sw companies, etc., but nothing yet. Is there anyone out there who can help?
Is there anyone out there who can help?

No.
Jeez
Wow what a blunt reply. Anyway I have also been probing the far corners of the clearweb for a root on this device. No luck. PingPong root doesn't support it, SRSRoot says that it rooted the phone, but it doesn't actually work. I'm not going to try to flash a rom with odin cause i need to keep the data on it. Lmk if you find anything out. Peace.
I believe the next logical step would be to try reverse-engineering parts of the new kernel and look for exploitable bugs, rather than looking for work done on the subject by other individuals and attempting to classify them as the same thing.

I don't care about the data, since I lost it already anyways. I would be willing to flash via odin, but didn't find anything useful. Sounds like you may have?

I wouldn't even know where to begin with that, bit outside my technical expertise. Is it something you are familiar with? Or can you point me in the right direction?
Can I downgrade from the PD6 OTA? I am running 100% official. I see there are no tools for rooting 6.0.1, but can I odin down to a version of 5.1.1 that I can root? It's been a while since I have done that, and IIRC sometimes it's impossible to downgrade once you have upgraded. I don't care about Knox or Samsung Pay, losing those is fine.
Thread jacked! Haha
I heard you can, man. Check that 'Root 5.1.1 with a snag' thread that Metalcated started.
I think somebody mentioned you can. Usually you can't - you're right - but I don't think this bootloader was enforcing it. Worse comes to worst it'll just fail to ODIN it and you're stuck. No real risk of bricking. :good:

I mean, a good hex editor would be a start.
Maybe like IDA Pro? I love IDA :3
You could probably scope out some good Android disassembly tools if you look.
Maybe checking the AOSP code itself?
Maybe look into the Android system images that you can download with the SDK?
Not sure. A bit out of mine too, but definitely an area of interest.

Will be trying this on my G920A soon. (PD6)
Short answer: No.
Long answer: it's not public yet. I saw many people in other forums talking about a private method that allows them to root G920A 6.0.1 and untethered (unlike the one we have right now for 5.1.1). I do not have the files and I don't know if it's going to be released to the public. I hope one of the insiders leaks it soon because I don't wanna upgrade to 6.0.1 without root.

Just came to know about this. Updating the phone to support security level L1 requires authentic pc connection so phone has to be sent to service center to be updated.

Well id love if they cannuse this opportunity to make a vendor partition as well:laugh:
I love in India so I'll send mine for the update next week as they'll be covering courier cost.
I hope there will be some way in near future where it can be implemented in custom roms.

+1, i have a OnePlus for that, friendly root, Pure Android (OOS or Custom) :highfive:
Netflix is on my computer or tv, not my Smartphone
They should make something that we could access remotely to update this. Like, c'mon, we are in 2018 they don't our phone in their hands to update it.
So is this done on the hardware level so that it sticks for factory resets and custom ROMs? You know, like official LineageOS 15.1 released today? :fingers-crossed:
And I noticed a few others mentioning locked bootloaders... I don't care if I have to wipe and relock it to have it serviced but will I still get L1 if I unlock and TWRP it again?

I think it's only with an oos based rom possible cause without locked bootloader it won't be possible in my opinion and regarding the statement of oneplus.

Thanks it seems that you dealed with a support worker with little knowledge.
I dont think the "update" would surfive a full wipe as there are no extra partitions/chips to write to that we ourselfs cannot. If i'm wrong please do tell..

This update will survive wipes, and can surely be used for OOS based ROMs, OnePlus told me that rooting, unlocking the bootloader will not break the update again and that it is going to stick when on custom ROMs (they haven't guaranteed it tho). The reason why we, users cannot do the update ourselves, is because of Googles requirements - the executing PC must be authenticated to to generate special keys, which are unique to each and every device. It is inconvenient, but it's the only way OP can execute the update.
Im new to Huawei but I have full untouched firmware would like to share with everyone .

No problem. I got stuck in a bootloop and took a while before I figured out how to fix. Im coming from Samdung

The thing I wasn't sure of was the differences in versions so I just took a shot (110) and after clearing the cache got it booted up again.
does the bootloader need to be unlocked for this?
i just got a replacement under warranty and its stuck on 109....the one that broke was 112
New comment!
Since the OP apparently is MIA, and since I'm kind of in the first few posts, I'm editing this to provide the latest links for which we in this thread have our hands on, in hopes that a helpless, suffering, wandering soul who may want/need it, sees it.
Other firmwares may be around if you ask.
Also, provide if you have some love to share, since i hear FF also gave up on the A09, presumably to be in tune to Huawei's contempt.
I dunno. Whatever. That's what a community such as this is for.
We also exist here, so check it out if you don't find whatchamacallit here
Thanks to my guide @ante0, for instilling in me a desire to help just like he's helped so many (i read a whole lot by you, even when i hardly ask you things! ...although I'm world's behind his knowledge, to be sure lol!
Thank you, @nabril15, for being a real "mate" on this hobby of ours, refreshing to see someone who comes for what brought them here, and stays afterwards to help in every and any thing they can.
I know, i sound like a just cooked a rom or developed the greatest app yet, but if i didn't say it now, when? xD
Lastly, don't forget to thank (thumbs and, if within your means, why not? a beer or latte) the guys who most immediately make this possible, @Pretoriano80, @zxz0O0 and @topjohnwu

For any flashing yes you do, there's a way to somehow make it recognize there's an update manually but you would have to search for that as i don't exactly recall how, and that way you wouldn't need to unlock bootloader

How can I do it without unlocking the boot loader?Pls can u tell me the method?I have search everywhere but didn't find it.
Does anyone know how to flash the VERSION.img file? I was able to flash the system partition however the phone still prompts for a software update, had to manually modify the local.prop file in /version/special_cust/BLA-A09/hw/usa/prop.

yeah, it's unfortunate but likely the case. It's the user/customer that has to suffer in the end. Spying via smartphones is done in the US as well. I that case we shouldn't have to worry

Hopefully will keep supporting their US versions, or send one update to change the version to European, thereby making it one less version to work on.

Is ridiculous when you think about it. Motorola is owned by Lenovo which is a Chinese company and US government gives them a pass.
Does anyone know, if you were to buy the INTERNATIONAL version of the Mate 10 Pro (Amazon) yeah, no U.S. warranty, would it get the updates faster than the actual U.S. version?
I'm thinking about getting the international version, since it has the bands for at&t (which I use via straight talk).

You should at least be able to rebrand to get updates. I wish I had done that. It will definitely get updates faster, maybe not the latest one. But better than none.
The US brand phone is still great without the latest updates. I'm not a gamer and I can do without face unlock
I'm not a gamer either, but, I'd like to have the security patches within a few weeks instead of months after release. Yeah, I know, you want instant updates, get an Apple or Pixel...but I see the Huawei patches released pretty much LAST for the U.S. versions of their phones.
I'm hoping after Treble is the "normal", patches will be pushed by Google, not the manufacturers or carriers.

Hey y'all,
Has anybody ever seen a Razer Phone 2 with THX Logo on the back of the phone? Just curious.
UPDATE!!!
This is definitely different because the bootloader is unlocked but it still has the DRMs intact. To get to the recovery/fastboot info it has a different hard key combo. Upon boot it shows a serial list and unlocked bootloader. It's dual SIM and has more internal storage. It has a different device name too Cheryl2/Bolt. It also has code Aurora apps for testing installed as default.
If it's possible to extract the DRMs from this device to use on Razer Phone 2s with unlocked bootloader's I'm all ears and will try to do it for y'all.
Thanks
Anybody?

What I'm curious about is why the build of the device is in June of this year, that it has 512 GB internal storage, dual SIM, and widevine L1 with bootloader unlocked. That's crazy. I would like to extract the DRM partition but don't know what partition it is under. We could all have unlocked bootloader's with widevine L1.

Awesome, Maybe someone will help you. I’m not ver knowledgeable about that sort of thing, but I know a few people who are. Has anyone reached out to you yet?
It seems that the widevine partition is located in the vendor partition. I know the vendors are easily flashed on Pixel devices, so maybe that would be plausible. I hope it is able to be done.

Hello,
Is there a way other than asking every single GSI Rom maker, if their Rom has the latest security patch installed. Or a way to find out?
Thank you:good:
Changelogs would mention those no?
Or just installing them and seeing for yourself. Unless you know how to breakdown fw and check there's no real way. But if you know how to do that, you wouldn't be asking either.
