Hello
Just got myself a new piece today. I'm afraid to do anything wrong and afraid to use without installing a new ROM myself.
I have read on different forums that when you buy a global version they are often infested with malware and you have to do af fastboot update to remove it all.
I haven't powered the device up yet because I want to do things right the first time.
My intention is to have the newest official stable global rom on the phone. I just not sure which step i need to take.
If a helpful soul could advice me I would really really appriciate that I have found several guide but I need to know the exact right steps. It is okay if you link to a step by step guide.
Here are links that I would go with, but I'm not sure if I need to unlock and if I have to wait for 2 weeks to be approved or if there is a quicker way

Hello welcome to the yard. ?
If you're still afraid of beginning with all these great guides, better do not power on though.
Sent from my lithium using XDA Labs
Well eventually I will have to power it on - won't I
I'm not affraid to use these guides or some other detailed step by step procedure. I'm just a little confused about the order and if these guides can be used if I want newest official global stabel ROM. I guess It is more the steps than what you do in the steps - hope it makes sense

You'll have to get it powered up and registered. Xiaomi impose a 3 day embargo on you where you cannot unlock the bootloader, I'd at least get that timer ticking away and then apply to unlock it asap.
Then you need to install TWRP. I recommend searching for the Mr Raine's version.
Pick a ROM and then off you go!

Think they're trying to scare you, just look about phone check ROM number to see if it matches 1 of Xiaomi official ROM. I had vendor ROM and my house hasn't been stolen, just don't turn you're data on.

A fastboot update wouldn't remove anything that's on the device. As it sounds, it would just perform an update.
As others stated, you should get it powered on & start the unlock process through Xiaomi. You don't need to sign into your Google account, so the only thing they would have access to is the Xiaomi account you register with.
After you are able to unlock the device, get a custom recovery (TWRP) installed. You may need to try a few different ones, i.e.: The "official" one doesn't have the touchscreen when booted into it.
From there, choose a ROM, flash, & you're good to go.

Thanks for the help so far and good advices.
Update of the situation is that I powered the beauty up. I could see that it took me through the entire setup phase from the beginning like it is normal for a brand new and untouched phone. Shortly after it was updated twice via OTA and is now on the newest official global ROM.
Everything is working perfect and I am extremely happy with the phone.
Two days ago I requested Xiaomi to unlock the bootloader as I would like to root the phone.

Let me know how it goes when you do, & what you end up flashing. I'm done the latest MIUI Beta & now the Pixel Experience 8.1 ROM, & I keep losing voice call server. Looks like I can still text, but no outgoing or incoming calls. I'm running on Project Fi too. With all these issues, I'm considering a switch to the Essential Phone. Arriving today for me to test out.

Hi Guys
I've searched long and hard and now I think I'm at a loss.
I've bricked my new P20 Pro by successfully rooting and installing magisk but stupidly I've tried installing Viper4Android via selinux switch method....It's completely messed everything up.
I can get into erecovery fine but even after factory data wipes, resets, cache wipes, numerous resets....to no avail.
Is there a factory image I can flash laying about? it's my last effort at fixing this I think
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
Cheers
Hi. Sorry to hear that.
I once unihstalled a Magisk module using the uninstaller in recovery mode. I'm not sure about viper4android but that's probably your best bet, if available.
Thanks huanhoho, I think I'm going to have to wait for an image to flash or something as there is no option available for an uninstall.

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.

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
I installed LineageOS 15.1 on my L04 with out any issue. Some things to consider. USB-C will only charge the device, Titanium Backup will install but doesn't get root access and you'll miss the camera application.

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.

Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help me with what looks like a self caused issue on my P9.
My phone was running EVA-L19C185B401 but I was having an issue where my when using the camera, occasionally the phone would die on low battery even though there was plenty of battery, the only way to recover from this was to plug the phone in and restart.
This problem became apparent on the last firmware upgrade, so as an experiment I attempted to roll it back.
The phone is now running EVA-L19C185B300 but most of the stock apps have vanished including the camera which is the reason I bought the thing!
The keyboard had also vanished but I got round this by plugging in a usb keyboard.
Does anyone know of a version of firmware that will restore my missing apps?
Huawei Tech Support are being as useful as a chocolate spoon.
Thanks in advance, Colin
Rebrand to C432 and start from scratch. search the topics on how to do it please. All the info you need is here. Dont focus on how to restore the camera but focus on how to rollback on MM version and upgrade it to the latest one.
About battery:
Because this phone is 2 years old, most likely your battery is dead and thats why it was shutting down when you could have even 90%. Or even when you turn on the camera is freezing and dies.
It happens to the best of us and 90% of the Huawei owners after excessive use ,charge,recharge because every battery has a specific range of recharging circles .
In this case you have to replace the battery.
If you dont have warranty on your phone due to unlocked bootloader, root, etc order a battery from eBay.
Ill go for something like this since it has pentalobe screwdriver https://www.ebay.com/itm/BATTERIA-O...381064&hash=item25e864e8dc:g:ZdcAAOSw3EVbI6CS
(Thats an example and you can search others but make sure you buy a pentalobe screwdriver and picks) the procedure was easy for me just follow that guide step by step.
If you have guaranty u better give it to your nearest Huawei store but expect to get it delayed.
Thats all i can suggest you.
Good luck on your research and restoring your device.

Hi, after may hours of feeling like a numpty, I can find no way of doing what you suggested.
I've gotten as far as unlocking my bootloader and installing TWRP.
I cant seem to find a version of SuperSU that works with my phone.
Could anyone point me in the right direction?
All I really want to achieve is to install a rom that has the Huawei Stock camera app?
No matter what I try, it seems I can't get away from EVA-L19C185B300.
wrong post sorry
vampirian said:
Suoer SU is dead for our devices with Oreo. Magisk will work for you. Now tge steps you have to do is to roll back in your first version. Use firnware finder to find tge rom you need. Pretty much honor 10 theoretically works the same with honor V10.. Reading their forums you might get a solution for honor 10. Do not install any if their firnwares. Just sre the programs they use and steps and replace their firmware with honor 10

Do you need to use a particular version of Magisk?
I tried with Magisk-v16.6 and all it seems to do is cause my phone to get stuck in a boot loop i.e. the Huawei splashscreen just starts to appear and the phone crashes, it'll keep doing this till I reinstall EVA-L19C185B300.

sorry my mistake i though your post was about honor 10.
The same though applies for your device , check here in general forum how to rollback your device on earlier version like marshmallow and then reupdate it to the latest Nougat one.
Switch to c432 is better for you

All the guides I see tell you to install EVA-L19C185B300, which is what I have, then flash EVAL19C185B210.
This stops after 5% and says there is a compatibility error, think I'll just need to accept that I've messed up my phone and just use it in its rather diminished capacity, tbh, it actually works better, it's only the camera app I miss, if I could root the damn thing I could install the camera APK.
Hey ho, thanks anyways.
Just need to start saving up for a P20 now haha
No no there is nothing you did that is terminal for your device. Rollback to marshmallow please and update, update , update r. Im coming back from my bands 6 day tour tomorrow. Ill be more than glad to help you fix the problem once i am back. I cant do it from the phone cause my fingers are like bricks after playing guitar so many hours.
PS: Think about the cheaper option i ended up as well. Honor 10
Im a big supporter for this device!!! Amazing on everything

ok with a quick search follow this guide please. Return to stock recovery before everything to rollback. After you roll back update to latest version and then we will find out which magisk Root will work . The important thing is to be safe without bricking your device and have your camera back.

Thanks matey, I had tried the roll back, it's this that seems to have mucked the phone up.
I completed the 1st step, going back to EVA-L19C185B300.
Bizarrely, I tried the rollback steps again tonight and it worked!
I'm now on Android 6 EMUI 4.1.2 and all the stock apps are back
I'm not quite sure what went on as I had tried the steps in the link before, it was the Update.app file in that link that rolled me back to B300.
I used the Firmware Finder App on Android Play store to find the B220 Firmware and hey presto!
I'm a happy, happy boy now.
Thanks for the info and help, hope your hands are returning back to normal after the tour

Wondering if anyone can help me with what looks like a self caused issue on my P9.
My phone was running EVA-L19C185B401 but I was having an issue where my when using the camera, occasionally the phone would die on low battery even though there was plenty of battery, the only way to recover from this was to plug the phone in and restart.
This problem became apparent on the last firmware upgrade, so as an experiment I attempted to roll it back.
The phone is now running EVA-L19C185B300 but most of the stock apps have vanished including the camera which is the reason I bought the thing!
The keyboard had also vanished but I got round this by plugging in a usb keyboard.
Does anyone know of a version of firmware that will restore my missing apps?
Huawei Tech Support are being as useful as a chocolate spoon.
Thanks in advance, Colin

Anyone know a fix for this.

You're likely going to need magisk I believe.
Sounds like the bootloader is unlocked

Bootloader is not unlocked...it's this rubbish UI made by xiamio
Do not relock your bootloader!! I did this and got my phone BRICKED! Looks like you got a Chinese version with Global ROM like me. Try to use Magisk .. I am still trying to figure out how to unbrick my device. Used it for 2 days .. and for this very reason got it messed up.

Did exactly the same thing, probably with the same Global ROM as well. Thoroughly regretting doing a re-lock now. I have it in Xiaomi Recovery right now so I should be able to use adb or fastboot. Is there a working ROM that I can attempt to flash to get it to boot again?

I was not able to flash anything on there via recovery. I read somewhere that it should be possible via Mi Flash Pro if you flash it with a ROM that is as new as the one on there. But have not been able to figure that one out. Now exploring deep flash... deep sadness that is! One shop said it could fix it for 49 USD .. so far for saving by ordering via AliExpress!
Let me know if you get anywhere with this. Would be happy to try anything

Thanks for the advice :good:
Hi all,
I have the same problem. My phone's bootloader was open since the first time, and I cannot use the Google pay. I tried to install a different rom, I had the global rom and I changed it to the EU rom (now is V10. 3.15.0) but still does not work. So strange because the Magisk says everything is fine, but I can't download the Netflix app from the play and can't use Google pay.
I really waiting for some kind of help...
@ionflux posted a guide how to make G-pay work.
Just follow last paragraph in this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79859363&postcount=1

Did you flash + relock on an existing rom or on an empty device?
