Update to CLT-L29 8.1.0.156(C432) - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi,
Is it safe to update to .156 from .152, can I still use Magisk to root?
I'm currently using Magisk v16.0 apk 5.6.4 and it kinda works with some crashes and bugs. (the phone has the bootloader unlocked and TWRP by Pretoriano80 installed)
Thanks!

I have to say some 4d predictive focus on camera app is not working for me since b156

I do NOT recommend .156, you will be getting a lot of messages about available patches who will not install correctly as you have the so-called unofficial TWRP bootloader.
What I do recommend is that you update to .157. There is some more info on that in the last posts of the thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...awei-p20-pro-charlotte-l29c432b131-8-t3809964
Magisk 17.1 works just fine on .157.

Thanks, found 2 files for the .157 update (update.zip and update_all_hw.zip.zip) still searching for update_data_full_public.zip, with pro-teammt.r u down, are there any other sources?
Also installed Magisk 17.1 on .152, works much better but now bank app is not starting even with magisk hide (was a terrible app to start, i'll use the browser)

You can also use the app Firmware Finder for Huawei, just search for it on Google Play.

Just had notification of CLT-L09 8.1.0.161(C432) ... I am currently on .159 .. but cannot find any info on what this latest 161 does

Yes stable
I failed to flash from 390 using the dialer method.
Flashed over B392, no problems so far.
Used dialer method.

Last ROMs (B392 and B393) fail when updating using dialer method. But they do update, at 100% it shows an error "update failed", when restarted it does optimization of a system and boots and then in settings it shows the correct version (B393 currently).
Strange

nononono, i was just re-trying the stock system for some experiments. The CM13 is fine, and it works very well, but sometimes third-part apps (downloaded via apk or play store) crash.

I've tried CM13 ROM but the crashes were very annoying. Opera browser was crashing couple of times per hour, Swype keyboard was crashing when I was typing, a lot of games were crashing at launch, Google Translate was crashing when tried to use camera. I would love to have CM13 instead of Huawei firmware but for now it's unusable.
Topic: successful update from B321 to B393 using dialer method.
Guys,
How do I get stock recovery from this version of the ROM?
On B390 I installed TWRP, replaced the HOSTS file with one that blocks ads, removed some unnecessary system apps and replaced TWRP with stock recovery.
Do you think that using B391 recovery (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862705190) is a good idea?
I don't want to root the phone because I don't feel it's necessary.

So what about getting root?

Now that many 5C models have the emui 5.0/nougat update, has anyone tried rooting it yet? Also is it still the case that Xposed is still not available for nougat??
yeah theres no android N xposed even abdroid 8 is coming already... i dont see point on rooting without xposed since theres no root adblock apps.
I like to install sound mods and I use lucky patcher to remove ads and get in-app stuff, freedom app as well. They all need root. Just downloaded open kirin twrp for emui 5.0. It's been deleted from xda posts but seek and ye shall find. I also have the revolution recovery twrp for nougat but although it worked for emui 5 beta, apparently it doesn't with the proper release. I downloaded superuser for emui 5.0/nougat so now I'm going to do various backups and give rooting a go.
usually there comes bug fix OTA in few weeks after android version updte, i wait till device is discontinued updates and root thn

Okay, so I was just about to root but then I see your post but can u explain in more detail please why it's better to wait for final ota. And do you know for sure if/when there will be more OTA bug fixes??

waiting for official ota is good to be sure that region is correct so youre able to make calls and text, but NEM-L21 has only one region so it doesnt matter if you use official OTA or use proxy method.
Okay so I have successfully rooted my phone by flashing super user zip file through twrp! Damn shame Xposed framework is not available for nougat though but at least I can install sound mods and can use lucky patcher to get rid of ads in apps and use freedom to get free inapp stuff. Also I use root essentials and L speed app. Beggars can't be choosers :angel:

I just tried it. Both the unofficial TWRP and the modded SuperSU seem to work so far.
Yes I think we used the same files and installation. OpenKirinHi6250 twrp and superuser.zip for emui 5.0. :good:

Seems to work fine so far. But I really have no idea why this TWRP works while the official doesn't. Same about this modded SuperSU.

Have you or anyone else had any problems installing busy box? I tried installing busy box pro(sterricson app) and it would not install. I tried all 4 paths to install to but it failed every time. So I installed busy box pro(jrummy app) and after running a script in the app to mount read/write I was able to install successfully. Just to make sure I install to su/bin, su/xbin, system/bin and system/xbin. I ran a root/busy box checker app.and it says both installed correctly...

I use the busybox installer app by meefik (because it's free software) and it works fine.
Thanks Zarou and iantechie1979, I was looking for working TWRP since days.
TWRP and SuperSu worked for me too (Honor 5C NEM-L51 version B350).

Be careful though, I and some other user noticed that restoring backups from this TWRP will result in a phone with no sound at all. I don't know if this is fixable, factory reset don't put it back to normal.
Other than that, this TWRP seemed, but I can say for sure. In any case, DO NOT RESTORE BACKUPS from this TWRP.

Magisk and supersu won't work with the latest ota update

After updating to the latest security patch (PRA-LX1 8.0.0.374(C432patch01)), I can't seem to root my phone anymore. Flashing supersu or magisk with TWRP causes my phone to not start up anymore. Are there any alternatives to magisk or supersu, or are there any particular (older) versions who are still able to root my phone?
Share your experience!
Thanks in advance
Hello. I rooted PRA-LX1 8.0.0.374(C432patch01). Following the next guide.

Magisk root detected by app

I am using the DnB online banking app. The new version of the app, released a few days ago, detects magisk root with hide turned on. Safetynett is also intact. Thought it may be of interest; I will be using the older version for now.

I have the same issue with Santander Wallet. But SafetyNet is intact and I am able to use GPay.
Please share if you find a solution elsewhere.
Any solution to this?
My banking app checks if ADB debugging is enabled, but it still says "root detected". If I disable ADB debugging, it works fine

Same thing with the Barclays banking app. It was working fine until a few days ago with Magisk Hide. Now, the app sends a superuser request and no matter what you choose (grant or deny), it detects the phone is rooted and gives a message that it doesn't support rooted devices. Also, the app hasn't updated since January 4th, so something else must have changed.
Edit. Using this method worked for me https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/santander-app-custom-rom-root-device-t3794753/post77321403#post77321403
I use two apps which are detecting root in my OnePlus 6 with OOS Beta 11 and Magisk 18:
VR-SecureGo
Die TK-App
Same problem
Well, I am not using a "Banking" app. But can say that an install of the Marlboro app.!!!
Install was ok. However, when starting app, it said that my phone was rooted! Then it stated that it can not be used on my devise and shut down. Will not actually restart now!
Devise - Samsung Galaxy S5, On Lineage 15.1 latest build, as well as Unofficial 16.0 build. With or with out SmartPack Kernel.
Both using the Latest Magisk 8.1!
(Yes, no Exposed used) just a few modules...
P. S. I can say, in 7.0-7.3 this was NOT an issue.
My only, other issue with 8.0 an 8.1.... Extremely hard to use the 2nd Partition (formatted - Ext4) Using Link2SD Plus! Can say didn't not have this on on prior Versions.
Still trying to fix this, but nothing yet (working many hours this past week) and nothing to stick... Yet!
Tanx for letting me blow off some steam on this...
Anyone that's having issues with root detecting apps could give the new MagiskHide implementation a try (it's been rewritten from scratch). Would be interesting to know if there's any improvement... Currently only found in the Canary builds (as of now at build 18108), but will of course find it's way to a stable release eventually. Having more users test the new implementation before a stable release is of course always nice though...
I tried beta manager, same thing. Unable to pay with Google pay.
Tesco pay+ now detects root as of today. It is enabled in Magisk Hide. App last updated 31st Jan but it was working fine last weekend - Google changed detection possibly?
if you have warez apps (lucky patcher, freedom, creehack, aptoide, acmarket, gameguardian etc) installed it may detect and uses 'root detected' as a generic message
My phone is One Plus 5T with bootloader unlocked and using the BETA latest OxygenOS.
Nothing was updated and from one day to another my google pay does not work anymore. Tried to add the card again, and it told me about "my phone is altered in some ways"
Before magisk was doing the job. Looks like we need to wait for some updates. I am amazed about the only few entries I found in internet about that.

Guide for rooting

Hello,
I have a second hand p20 pro (C432) with emui 12 on it. I succesfully downgrade to emui 9.1, fw on 9.1.0.387, and got my bootloader unlocked.
Twrp by pretorian installed but can't do anything with it. Data is encrypted, i just need to flash magisk. What's the way to go?
Thx for those who could help,guide me.

Thank you sir, i'm now rooted.
But now, contacts, messages and phone dialer keep crashing....uninstalled magisk and everything is fine. Reflashed magisk and same problems
try older Magisk. install the apk and set this file as custom channel. then patch the kernel ramdisk.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/b0694fad86/stable.json
i patch kernel.img not recovery_ramdis.img? or the 2?
i'm now with 21.4 and manager 8.0.7 but dialer still crashing (just recovery patched)
then it is probably not caused by magisk itself. maybe factory reset will help.
Maybe i messed to much when debloating fw, went with fresh install before flashing magisk and all working! thx for your help and advices
