Hello guys,
I am trying to encrypt phone - already tried this on Extended AOSP, Pixel Experience CAF and non-CAF. Everytime, I do this:
- clean data/cache/system
- flash rom
- reboot
- skip google account login, set up PIN
- go to settings, try to encrypt phone
- android robot with gears appear for a few seconds,
- screen goes black, but is still lit by backlight
- after few more seconds lockscreen apears as if I rebooted.
I have no idea why, I cant get it to encrypt.
Can someone please point me at the right direction?

Hello everyone, i have a Little problem, i'm actually on latest aex mod 8.1 and everytime i try to install a miui based rom (epic and masik) installation is going fine, boot too but i'm stuck with a message telling me that encryption was unsuccessfull a message pop ups to restart phone and perform a Factory reset to solve this issue.i hit the button, phone restart to twrp wipe automatically data i guess (don't really remember) and reboot and again the same message. I've never encrypted my device and twrp dosn't ask me for a password. I've only set a fingerprint with pin code to secure my phone. Still i could restore my aex backup with twrp.
Anyone could explain whats going on?
Édit: same error if i try to install RR 7.1 it tells me that encryption (not decryption) was interrupted and had to reboot to twrp and restore a back up. I'm really confused
Lemme guess, you're here because something about EMUI just doesn't serve you well.
I sure hope you're in the right thread.
I found flashing mate 10 to be too confusing, I've spent over 10 hours working on mine to make it work, so I hope you don't have to.
I am new to flashing Huawei phones, so if there are anything that could have been done better, please let me know.
Please take everything I write with a grain of salt, this worked for me but I'm not sure if it will work for anyone else.
tldr: if you find a rom for honor view 10, there is a good chance that it would work for mate 10 too
*IMPORTANT: NONE OF THESE RECOVERIES OR ROMS USED ARE OFFICIAL, FLASH AT UR OWN RISK*
PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST BEFORE TRYING ANYTHING, YOU MIGHT SRSLY SCREW UP
Model: ALP-AL00 or A00 (its the Chinese duo sim version)
Steps:
1. Get ADB here
2. Unlock the bootloader, here's how.
3. Install twrp which is downloaded here
, I used "twrp_bla_alp_0.7.img". After you installed and run 'fastboot reboot', immediately unplug ur phone and hold up volume button until twrp shows up
4. Wipe your data in twrp with format data
a) If run into system unable to unmount error, try factory reset a few times then format until the error no longer appearsb) If ur device internal storage does not load or takes forever, restart your phone and enter twrp by 'adb reboot bootloader' and 'fastboot reboot', still immediately unplug and hold up buttonc) If after restart ur touchscreen stopped working. which happened to mine, connect a mouse via type c and proceed, don't panic6. Download rom here and install, make sure you flash all system, gapps, Huawei cam and hotspot patch at one go then reboot
7. Enjoy! :good:
Before you ask any questions:
- If you don't have ur bootloader unlocked, I got my code from a personal transaction for 30 euros, pm me for more info as I am not affiliated and do not want to publicly advertise
- If you never flashed any other rom before, I don't recommend this procedure
- If during setup your phone takes forever to update, just pop a sim card in and choose to restore ur phone from google account
- If you used the above point and after you get in system tries to setup in notification bar, just disable system setup in app settings
- If something went seriously wrong, you can always do emui recovery through pressing volume up in that "ur phone is unlock and can't be trusted" bootup screen (given you didn't screw up emui recovery, data format and factory reset in twrp will not rid emui recovery)
Where I ran into problems I can't resolve:
- After flashing the rom, my twrp doesn't seem to cooperate anymore as it just gets stuck on the loading screen forever. Reflashing twrp doesn't seem to solve the problem
What works (That I care about):
- Pretty much every normal function
- Huawei camera, tho it no where near as good as stock Huawei camera on emui for mate 10 but its miles above the default camera in custom roms
What's missing that I found so far (or I'm just too dumb to find it)
- Can't customize power menu
- Can't customize icons in notification bar
- No support for Huawei's fingerprint sensor gestures
- Snapchat bug (see pics), can be bandaged by the anything that toggles nav bar hide like xda's navigation gestures

Overall I have been using this rom for around 4 days now on my daily driver, it has been very stable and I would say its daily driver material. To those of you who wants to flash their mate 10, wish you the best of luck!
Phone starts to boot normally, then as soon as android starts and it shows the lock screen, it initiates another reboot. It loops this infinitely. Before this it was starting to grow unstable and was doing random crashes like this, but now it just crashes instantly as soon as it hits the lock screen on boot.
ROM is Mokee and my TWRP is 3.3.1-0. I can enter Recovery in TWRP atleast. Seems to be working fine inside there.
I would like to reset it, but my 2FA is attached, and so I need to get into the phone long enough to disengage all of them.
What can I do here?
Here's hoping:
Is there a way to backup Google 2FA from within TWRP so I can restore my phone and bring back Google Authenticator just the way it was?
Hello there,
I've just found my old GT-S5300 from back in the day, and I tried turning it on to eventually use it again.
The issue is that when turning on, I get the usual "Welcome to GT-S5300" screen, and it tells me to "Touch the Android to begin"; when trying to do so, my phone doesn't let me go to the next screen to connect to Google and all the miscellaneous steps that come later. The touch screen does react, I can change the language/type a number in emergency call, the Android flashes when I touch it but it doesn't let me go to the next step.
I have tried factory resetting/wiping cache & data but nothing does it, I keep getting stuck on the same screen.
I even tried flashing a custom ROM and the stock ROM, but it seems my phone can't read the SD card I insert in it, I don't know why (32GB, works on other devices).
I have CWM Recovery installed so whenever I go to Recovery mode I have the CWM Recovery menu which appears.
Before burying it in my closet, my phone was indeed rooted.
Do you have any idea if there is a way to use this phone again? Thank you!
It is as absurd as it sounds. Rooting the phone was not simple, I always ended up with bootloops. After trying so many combinations from the different sources I could find online, this one worked:
- flash stock rom 11
- go to fastboot
- flash brigudav's TWRP
- wipe. reset. reboot to recovery
- change file system to ext2 then back to 4. reboot to recovery
- flash built-in magisk of TWRP
- flash DecScript Universal v2
- it boots up with magisk
Everything seems fine. I actually thought I was finally done. But after setting up the phone and then putting a pin, I found it to be wrong after the first lock.
I retried the same process but with passwords and patterns. It DOES NOT work. Gives wrong pin even though it was set up 30 seconds ago and I am 100% SURE OF IT.
What I think happened was the that the pins do not get stored but rather an encryption of them. And somewhere along the process of rooting, I messed with the encryption system, and so the pins do not map to the same hashcode and does not unlock.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance <3
