How to Update an rooted device with Stock Rom? - Huawei P10 Questions & Answers

Hey everyone,
i would like to root my P10 with Magisk and stock firmware before i can´t get any bootloader unlock key from Huawei anymore.
My question is is it possible to update the system to the latest Firmware Versions from Huawei (via FF or TWRP) later on without to re root the device ?
Regards.

Use my guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/guide-manual-updgrade-to-update-oreo-t3758286
It does exactly what you want, but you still need to reinstall Magisk-Root because /system will be overwritten.
Personal data, settings and apps will be untouched by the update but do a backup just to be sure.

Yes, indeed, LiveTWRP will no longer work on newer builds, i am afraid you will need to flash the recovery to device if you want to use it.
After all, the 'Live' version is a bonus, and without source i have no idea what they did that caused it failed to boot.

Live TWRP part confirmed, it can no longer be used with newer EMUI version.
For sdcard problem, can you confirm your device is H3C H30-U10? Not H3W or other variant? Intl. or China set?
I would suggest you to try the following:
1) Reset TWRP settings
2) Try other SD card, different brand if possible.
3) Smaller storage size, eg: If you are using 16GB now, try one with lower size like 8GB, 4GB.
4) Format the SD card with android, remove any extra feature such as sdcard encryption.

I believed you have it connected to internet and checked for update and there is no OTA available for your device, correct?
Unfortunely HW has removed the download link for B110, i do not have any backup for B110 either, i didn't download it earlier.
For now i think what you can do it ask your friend or some else with B110 to do a TWRP backup and use the backup to restore.
You need to restore /system & /cust partitions only, once you have done that do a factory data reset from a booted system.
I wish i could help more but i have the slowest internet on the planet so nothing i can do here.

TWRP B110 backup from your country? Yea, that would be fine too, but if you have the B110 UPDATE.APP that would be better.
I am not sure if B108 locked BL could survive TWRP restore without first soft-bricking it, i didn't try that, or i tried but forgot ...

Any suggestion?
Thanks a lot
hi ,
just because of your guide, i was able to get back my honor 3c from soft brick to original international B115 image. thanks a lot for supporting.
@codelover
I had checked all steps you've been explained, but it goes failed when i flashed the rom through TWRP
anyway, I'll try your suggestion later, because i had flashed Emui 2.3 currently.
By the way, i had root emui 2.3 and verify by root checker, but i had problem with busybox. I cannot install it.
my system memory remains 34mb, does the memory space too small to instal busybox?
Help please
Hello! I downloaded the firmware EMUI2.3_H30-U10_4.9.1 and did everything you wrote, but after extracting the firmware by HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.8.0 I did found in the folder the file '_PrepareFiles.exe' (item 13 of your post)! What is wrong? Thank you!!!
suggestion
dear sir,
it is great to have your guide with me, i just wanted to make a suggestion, at the point where you have summarize the steps for installing kit kat on international hand sets, please write an instruction that all international users must have unlocked their phones, before rom update, so after upgrading they could run live TWRP easily.
Thanks and regards once again.
Hello! I downloaded the firmware EMUI2.3_H30-U10_4.9.1 to flash the phone by Flash Tool. According the guide "Restoring Official Stock ROM using SPFT" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...809&postcount=) after extracting the firmware by HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.8.0 the file "_PrepareFiles.exe" must be appear in the folder with extracted firmware. But in my case when I extracted the file "update.app" I did'nt find the file "_PrepareFiles.exe" in the folder (((( What is wrong? The NET.framework v.4.5.1. is instastalled. Thank you!

Can i flash zip or ftf via adb? i'm using cm12 rom.
hi guys,
I bought a Z3C and I just checked the bootloader is not locked .
pen the dialler and enter #*#7378423#*# to access the service menu.
Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes
I wanted to know if I could flash via Flashtool software directly ?
OK, so I've used the method described in the thread, flashed firmware.zip from recovery on rooted 4.4.4. (.77), after flashing I wiped cache and dalvik, rebooted, android was upgraded, system booted, and all of my apps and settings remained intacted. Is this normal? I expected clean start. I used D5803_23.1.A.0.690_Generic_NCB-Root-XZDR2.8.3-SuperSU.

If you didn´t wipe data in recovery, then no data should be wiped. That´s normal.
Yes, that's it. But, did I had to wipe data? I've read that clean install is recommended. I've noticed no problems in the last couple of hours of usage.
Dirty Flash from 23.0.1.A.5.77
I dirty flashed 23.1.A.0.690 from Greatslon MIUI v5 23.0.1.A.5.77 and still have root.
The phone froze and bootlooped a couple of times when i installed and restarted it, but patience was rewarded, as it finally booted.
I can still mount /system as rw both via adb shell, "onboard" terminal and through Root Browser.
Can i be of some help with a logcat, and in case how?
I am a software developer myself, but in a different branch than android. I just can't see through how i should get started with android development.
Great work guys
I guess i should add, that i still have my bootloader locked.
So to summarize:
>Bootloader locked (never unlocked)
>Firmware 23.1.A.0.690 from this thread
>Full root
>System R/W
Hey,
is there a chance to change the carrier name on the lockscreen? In the upper left corner it says "no service" but my carrier is already set up successfully.
Maybe its just because im from germany and its a generic rom or something. so is there a option to set up manually?
greets
Interesting, I did exactly the same but only have partial root, meaning that my system indicates root but I don't have writing permissions. Tried the ADB fix but did not work. Any other suggestions for getting full root again?
FYI: Nut has mentioned that he fixed recovery in his main development thread and will be working on releasing it to everyone soon.
Tnx for ur great work... but i have problem to download from mega site.. and specialy from the folder...
can anyone give me the direct link of [5.0.2] Firmware 23.1.A.0.690 Generic and A.5.77... not the folder link...

You would only need to restore the TA backup if you've unlocked your bootloader in the past.

No, system rw is working atm with the newest(2.8.3) release from nut with locked bl. At least for Z3C . the system rw not working refers to other devices.
So when he manages to get the new recovery working you should just be able to install it. That is my hope at least. Anyway in case it doesnt you can backup with titanium backup and after flashing everything again just restore.

oh!
Really thanks for the answers, but I'm not sure to have understand (first sony for me).
I have kk, rooted and with locked bootloader. I have no recovery (I can't manage in flashing that without unlock), so how can I flash the preeroted LP?
I understand that if I backup TA, unlock BL, flash a recovery, flash a pre-rooted LP (after a full wipe), flash the last NUT recovery and then relock the BL restoring TA, I should finally have LP with root, R/W, and drm feature right? Am I missing something? Sorry for the High Noob Lvl xD

Go to the thread of NUT dual recovery and (assuming your on a windows pc) download the installer for nut dual recovery. it will let you install the recovery on locked bootloader by running the install.bat file. with this recovery you can then flash a prerooted lollipop zip (you can do it yourself with prf creator, include the newest SuperSU zip and the newest dual recovery zip together with stock lollipop rom) after wiping your phone. people also just flashed over KK but i prefer to do it clean and set up my phone newly again. you will then end up with a phone which has system rw and root on lollipop but the recovery will be gone until NUT fixes it. That is what everybody is waiting for.
So unlocking BL wont really gain you anything except sonys DRM keys not working. it will just introduce an additional step to relock them.
Here is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
to get into recovery just spam the volume up button(or down since it has two recoveries ) when your phone boots and lights up the led.

[Z2Pro] Zui 2.5.462 OTA (Nougat) full rom+firmware update (Magisk+Xposed work !)

Hi !
This is a backup of the latest OTA of ZUI by Zuk/Lenovo, already configured in english, chineses apps uninstalled, and playstore/google services installed.
Magisk root and unofficial Xposed-Magisk for Nougat work on this rom !
(I've tested Youtube Adaway, Youtube background, Lucky Patcher, Adblocker reborn, it's working well)
Your not need to do a wipe, and you can keep your data if you come to 2.5.435 ZUI rom ! But you have obligation to install boot & firmware, because latest OTA by zuk upgrade both !
[Quick Charge is disabled by default when the screen is on, look the screen capture, it's normal, this is a new setting come with this latest OTA, you can change that on developper settings ! ]

I don't know how to merge XML translation into rom, sorry.
After receiving OTA update to 462 ST, SOT is reduced to 4 hours of moderate usage (usually 5-6 hours).. Phone temperature is a bit warmer, standby temp usally 27 C, now is 32 C, charging temp is around 37 C.. It's a thin phone, you can feel when the temperature is going up..
Is the OTA update works in this rom? In System Update app I have info: "Your system has been root, we are unable to provide the latest version of the system"
ZUI OTA doesn't support unlocked bootloader, rooted or not the phone just shows this message when the bootloader is unlocked...
Hello, someone has already gained some experience about this Rom, is there anything you should know? Thank you
Anyone can help making this rom multilanguage?
Is francko76 the only one who can help us, or can anyone ask the creator of AEX?

You just have to put the files in your twrp backup folder. Make a backup yourself in order for the folder to be created and then with a file manager replace your files with the files of this backup. After that just restore it with twrp

Backing up stock rom before flashing another

Hi
I have been following the thread for the linage os in the View 10 forum.
Several people have reported it working on Honor 9 Lite which is treble compatible, before I try it out however I wanted to be sure I could go back to my current rom which is the official LLD-L31 for the UK honor 9 lite.
My current build number is LLD-L31 8.0.0.121(C432)
What options do I have to restore if I don't like the rom I flash?
So far I have managed to pull the System & ODM folders to my pc. all except the Vendor file due to a permissions error.
Is this enough? Can I simply push these folders back? and at which point do I attempt the push? When booted/in recovery etc?
Otherwise, Is there an official or unofficial Huawei/Honor restore tool? or maybe a full rom I can flash? HiSuite says it has this function, but my device isn't listed.
Sorry for all the questions, it's been a while since I flashed a rom & it was always via TWRP I understand treble roms are flashed via the stock recovery though

I have the same model and have also been following the thread. My understanding, and hopefully someone will correct if wrong, is that with project treble GSI you're only overwriting, via fastboot, system.img partition, therefore if you want to return to your original I suspect you can do the same thing again and fastboot original.img with a factory reset.
There is a utility called huawei firmware finder which allows you to look for firmware. I tried it but can only find the LLD-AL10 8.0.0.100(C675CUSTC675D4) which i think is for the 4/64GB veresion or may even be for the huawei P smart. Until honor make the firmware available not sure what other options exist.
BTW it would help if you report back with any success/failures if you try it. Also interested in what this version Lineage OS is missing/not working, I think the camera still has some issues last i checked the thread.

My understanding, and hopefully someone will correct if wrong, is that with project treble GSI you're only overwriting, via fastboot, system.img partition, therefore if you want to return to your original I suspect you can do the same thing again and fastboot original.img with a factory reset.
There is a utility called huawei firmware finder which allows you to look for firmware. I tried it but can only find the LLD-AL10 8.0.0.100(C675CUSTC675D4) which i think is for the 4/64GB veresion or may even be for the huawei P smart. Until honor make the firmware available not sure what other options exist.
BTW it would help if you report back with any success/failures if you try it. Also interested in what this version Lineage OS is missing/not working, I think the camera still has some issues last i checked the thread.

Thanks for the reply, I suspected that's how it worked, just flash back the original system image.
I think I'm gonna hang fire for the time being until I know I have the correct firmware to go back if needed, hopefully the camera will be sorted by then too.
I flashed a firmware today and couldn't revert to stock because can't find it. Any ideas?

When you unlocked your bootloader and before you overwrote your system partition you should have taken a backup of your stock system partition so you can restore it. Honor has not made the firmware available yet as far as I know.

Just in case I decide to try this, how do I get a flashable file?
I pulled the contents of system + odm via ADB but just ended up with 2.3GB of folders.
Can I convert this to a flashable .img file? Or should I have done this another way?

found description for how to do it for v10 on another site:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system of=/storage/emulated/0/system.img
this implies root is required so I guess you would:
1. unlock bootloader
2. load TWRP.
3. load root (su).
4. reboot back into TWRP and save system.img.
However, you make it work you need to make sure system.img is saved before any changes are made.

I was thinking about this today & came to the same conclusion.
The idea is to pull a clean unmodified system image, but the only way to do that is by using root privileges SU, then via TWRP - Does that not make it a modified image?
Maybe I'm thinking about it too much:silly:
What Root method & TWRP versions have Honor 9 Lite users had success with? I'm keen to give this a go

Not TWRP as that is the recovery partition (recovery.img) not the system partition (system. Img). Not sure about root though as i believe that does add stuff in one, or more, of the system sub folders, maybe someone else can confirm, but if you're using superuser then unzipping that should tell you what's being added and where. However, if you think about it, this has always been a bit of an issue with any android. You cannot take a nandroid backup without some kind of custom recovery so how can you ever take a snapshot of the stock rom. Specialised tools can do it as they can dump the entire rom but how can any android be dumped in full straight out of the box without first changing something.?
You could try this:

but it never really worked properly for me.

Question after TWRP and root

Hi,
I am all new to Xiaomi (so a big noob into this).
I would like to flash the TWRP and to root the phone.
So here are my questions:
1.After that, will my phone received the OTA updates?
2.Or is better to take the rom from the xiaomi.eu and install them?
3.But with this, will I lose all the settings/application from the phone?
Thank you in advance for the answers.
A little up for my question :angel:

If you unlock you receive ota updates, but if you install twrp and magisk root you can't have ota. You should use a patched boot image maybe.
It is better you install xiaomi eu rom, it updates via ota with twrp also installed.
If you pass to xiaomi eu you have to format data, so you lose your apps and settings just first time
Thank you @HTCDevil for the explanation.
So sad that the root can't be kept.
So I will install twrp and the eu rom. With this I have 2 on the 3 things.
The phone is new so no data yet.....
Thank you again.

You can root after installing xiaomi eu.

Yes you are right, but I will need to do this on every update, right?
If I understand correct I will need to do if rooted:
-manual update of the rom
-new root of the new rom
Also, will I lose all the settings after an update of the xiami eu image?

Xiaomi eu has ota update, it flashes rom in twrp and wipe dalvik / cache automatically, so you don't lose data or settings. If you lose magisk you simply reinstall in twrp, related app and settings stay there
Thank you again @HTCDevil for your help.
Now I am ready for working with my MI9.
