Rooting possible? yes/maybe/no - Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers

How is Huawei handling root? Is it suspected to work or will this be a problem?

I guess the rooting process may be a bit similar to the Mate 20s. It took a while before root became available for Mate and the process relies on a somewhat compilicated procedure involving FunkeyHuawei and buying credits. If you really want to have root then probably better to wait or to buy a phone which is easier to root.

Hi,
Somewhat agree. Root might take time.
What I can confirm is that oem unlock is not greyed out.

So do you think that someone will cook TWRP and magisk?

I already extracted the ram disk and tried patching it with Magisk.
It didn't boot.
Any other bright ideas?

Hope that someone will find a solution, maybe on chinese forums. I can't buy a non-rootable phone.

Is not ramdisk that you need to patch, try patch stock Recovery, at least works with EMUI 9.

Is "RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img", in the tool is missing the "K". You can rename it to "RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img"
If you need to flash in the fastboot use this command:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk.img

My p30 pro arrive today and i thought i can root it with this tutorial
https://myphoneupdate.com/root-huawei-p30-pro-unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-recovery/
And now i read here that its not possible? That is very Bad if this is so :/
Sorry for Bad English

Yeah, I figured it. Output was patched_boot img. It flashed without any issues. But couldn't reboot afterwards. Went into bootloop, and then back to eRecovery. Normal boot is fine. Patched boot didn't work.

Unfortunately this means that Magisk is not ready to patch EMUI9.1

Has anyone tried the process ?
I might be doing it wrong, Please give it a try from your end as well!

How to flash? Don't we need to unlock the bootloader first, if so I have to buy a unlock code right? I'm om 0.124

Yes, to flash you need bootloader unlocked.
Don't waste your money yet, let's first JazonX test the recovery_ramdisk.img patched by me.

JazonX, have you tried? I hope it works

Looking for stock recovery to flash OTA

I need the stock recovery image (from 23.16.3.victara_retca.retca.en.CA) so I can flash the 6.0 update since it won't work with TWRP.
Any help? Google isn't providing me with much.
Does it have to be from the Canadian variant (not sure if the recovery images are different between variants)?
Tried looking here for the correct zip, which should contain the recovery image?

I have no clue. I doubt it would have to be the retCA version. I'm sure everything besides radio and system will be the same.
This is from the latest RETCA XT1097 5.1 firmware:

Worked perfectly.
My process
- Flash stock 5.1 using fastboot (Steps can be found on Motorola's site or somewhere on XDA)
- Install Marshmallow OTA
- Flash cracked boot.img for Marshmallow. This step is needed in order for TWRP to stick and for you to root without getting stuck on the warning screen. (I'll find the link for you if you can't. It's somewhere on XDA.)
- Flash TWRP
- Create backup so I don't have to go through this process next time haha

Something odd has happened since upgrading to 6.0.
'adb devices' still sees my phone, but 'fastboot devices' no longer sees anything, and making a desktop back-up with adb now creates a file containing 0 bytes.
Everything else seems fine. Are there some new permissions I need to give before this will work?
Thanks again.
Edit: I managed to get fastboot working, however now I've run into a new problem.
To confirm, when you say flash the cracked boot.img for Marshmallow, I should execute 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' for the cracked boot.img?
I'm getting the error: mismatched partition size (boot)
I can still enter TWRP with fastboot, but it's not permanent without the cracked boot.img
Am I missing a step?
Edit #2: Finally got TWRP to stick another way and have root now. Thanks for everything!

Any ToT file for disabling big cores?

Hello everyone.
Unfortunately my lg g4 bootlooped. And after extensive Google search, i see that most models have a tot file which disables big cores so u can run the phone on the small cores
Does the T-Mobile variant have such a tot file? if yes then can somebody give me the link? if no then can somebody create one using the following info?
Agimax said:
Why not just edit the files below for the two large cores (if you have root):
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/online (open file and change from a one to a zero)
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu5/online (open file and change from a one to a zero)
You could also just have the startup file do it (can modify the ripped system partition & put back on phone):
etc/dir/init.qcom.post_boot.sh (find your processor code - 8992 and add echo lines there with the rest of the cpu commands)

Afaik you need a box to create tot files.
Besides this I have never created any big core disabling but I know @the_naxhoo has.
if you can reach the download mode you could flash with the lglaf shell a modified boot image which is doing the job. If you do not have Linux get your copy of FWUL which has everything on board (like the lglaf shell).
The modded boot image has to disable the cores either by the cmdline or the sys echo or both. I saw that cmdline thing during my unlock attempts and think those are much better then the echo to sys..
Creating a kdz would be maybe possible
creating a TWRP zip for sure but I'm very very busy at the moment...
So just one more time (as still not answered.. ) do you had TWRP installed before the bootloop occurs?
...and If so what happens when you try to get into it?

Cmdline is how I disabled the cores on the Nexus, the fix is easy to do on a boot.img, but LG uses the KDZ files, which use a totally different file structure, and I'm not sure if the LG flash tool has file checks, even on unlocked bootloaders. I will do some research and see what I can do. If anyone has any knowledge on modifying kdz files, please tell me.

asked steadfasterx about kdz and his reply is as follows
steadfasterX said:
me too. never created KDZs yet but there are tools for it - afaik.
My first approach would have been to flash the boot image in the download mode with the lglaf shell (https://github.com/steadfasterX/lglaf/tree/g4) .
requires to do a flash of a modified boot image with dd on /dev/block/mmcblk0 with the correct seek ..

[XT1789-05] Stock OREO Firmware (retbr)

Hey dudes,
since no one ever did this, I uploaded all Oreo Stock (retbr) for or beloved XT1789-05 released so far.
Here are the link:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/emeuwiyaxpqqu56/AABKMNnrmMOwR5S0pBH2d7lWa?dl=0
The folder also contains RSD-lite for Mac and Linux users.
Enjoy.
if you are a Linux or Mac user and don't know how to use RSD, *I'll show you how to do with simple steps.
here we go:
1- Unzip the RSD-lite folder on your desktop;
2- Unzip the firmware zip and copy all files to the RSD folder on your desktop;
3- Open your terminal and go to the RSD-lite folder and connect your cellphone on USB with USB DEBUBBING ON;
4- Type this commands and hit ENTER after every line:
adb reboot bootloader
if you are on Linux;
bash rsd-flash.sh flashfile.xml
if you are on Mac:
./rsd-flash.sh flashfile.xml
press enter to start the flash from terminal
5- Watch for any errors. If no errors at the end of the script then press enter to reboot the device.
Many thanks to @Liboicl for the Linix script and @rootjunky for Mac script.
I'll keep adding the firmware on this folder as soon they pop up .

That happened because the bootloader noticed slot B doesn't have Oreo firmware on it. I'll make a .sh and .bat for you in a couple of days for AOSP from the files in that zip. It will be firmware only, no system or OEM images as it will be for AOSP prep more than back to stock.

Installing twrp shouldn't matter the model. Just boot to twrp and flash the zip, it will edit your current boot image and not mess with any special properties like radio stuff that differ from model to model.

For me, this is actually the worst Moto phone I've ever owned (and I've owned 4 of them), specially by the price I paid for it... the phone doesn't worth not even half the price.
In fact, this is my last Moto ever, I'm done with Moto/Lenovo or any other Chinese crap for that matter.

A question from a newbie

First of all i want to make clear that, i am new to this community, so for any inconvenience please forgive me.
I was curious about what will be the safest way to root my Android 11 devices running on MIUI Global 12.5.2 .
i watched a lot of YouTube videos but didn't come up with an answer i am looking for, i got confused a lot some people suggest doing without pc and some with some apps.
I would be glad if someone can explain to me, the best way to root Android device and do's and dont's before and after rooting the device. And how can i prevent my device from:
Getting hard/soft Brick.
Losing Data.
Data encryption.
And the things i should get familiar with before rooting.
Thanks to everyone in advance

You can not root without losing data, unlocking Xiaomi bootloader wipe all your data. For rooting, take a look Magisk instruction https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html very easy

Make backup of data,apps, unlock bootloader then you can root your phone with magisk. Unlocking bootloader wiping all data.

Tap older version and download the recovery. Use https://github.com/ssut/payload-dumper-go to extract boot.img from payload.bin. Look how here https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-magisk/

I tapped on the older version, however mine version, i.e (12.5.2.0 RJCINXM ), is not listed.
I checked a couple of websites too, on them only this version is not listed others are like 12.5.3.0 etc

Let me get it straight, you mean the ROM version doesn't matter, however the ROM should be same as that of the device model.

Recovery ROM, unzip and extract from payload.bin.

[REQUEST] Persist.img for the ROG Phone 3, Android 11

Hello everyone,
Can someone help me with fixing my Persist Partition?
My Fingerprint Scanner doesn't work, and I found out it might be due to a corrupt /Persist.
I've tried extracting a Payload.bin (from the latest OTA Firmware) but it doesn't contain any Persist Images.
Can anyone either send me their Persist.img or help me find a original Persist.img from the Stock ROM?
Thanks in advance!

If I may ask, is this your Persist, or is this from an Official ROM?

It's mine. Persist is not part of the ROM, that's why you can extract it from there. It's factory installed in its own partition.

That makes sense.
Though I kinda think that it's dumb that it's kind-of-impossible to obtain an "official" Persist Image from Asus since others like Xiaomi just put it into their Firmwares too, but alrighty I guess.
Will flash tomorrow and hopefully it helps.

Well, kind of expected that but it doesn't work.
The Contents of my Persist Partition don't seem to change no matter how often I "erase" and "flash" the Persist.img. Calibrating with the "Factory Test" Tool also gives me an "get calibrate failed" error again so yeah.... Guess I'll go with Face Unlock for now.
Thank you very much though for your quick help.

How do you flash it? Try using TWRP and if that doesn't work you should be able to flash it with the device in EDL mode.

I tried all of that actually. It flashed just fine, but that's pretty much it.
