[Firmware] EMUI 8.1 / 9.0 Flash, Root and Downgrade Guide (L29C432/L29C636)

How to FLASH EMUI 8.1 / 9.0 including latest single base versions (build 197+)
Your device must have the following
1. Bootloader should be unlocked (if you have not already unlocked bootloader, there are paid services available)
2. Enable USB debugging in Settings > Developer options > USB debugging
3. Remove Fingerprint ID, Face lock and Lock screen password. This is very very important otherwise your device will be soft bricked
Firmware Download:
You can download ROM version that you want (EMUI 8.1 / 9.0) from this LINK
If you do not see latest EMUI 9.0 firmwares, use the links below,
EMUI 9.0 Build 204
EMUI 9.0 build 236
EMUI 9.0 build 241
EMUI 9.0 build 243
EMUI 9.0 build 251
Do not try to update to build 241 straight from EMUI 8.0. It will brick your device and you will end up with black screen. Update to build 195 and then update to any later builds.
Files that you will be downloading are,
>> Upto build 195
update.zip
update_full_CLT-L29_hw_eu.zip
>> After build 197 or later
update_full_base.zip
Preparation:
a. Download this Flash tool and extract to your PC
b. Copy downloaded Firmware files to ZIPS-HERE folder (you can find this folder where you have extracted Flash tool
How to flash Firmware
1. Double click to run the file cmd-here.exe. It opens command prompt in the same folder where you are.
2. Once command prompt opens, type FLASH_two_files.bat if you have multiple Firmware files (2 files) or FLASH_full_base.bat if you have single base file from latest EMUI 9.0. Follow steps carefully. Once flashing is complete, it will boot normally.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS METHOD OF FLASHING DO NOT WIPE DATA and all the installed apps will be intact. But you will loose ROOT. You have root again.
How to ROOT EMUI 8.1 / EMUI 9.0
For EMUI 8.1:
1. Download this TWRP and flash it in fastboot mode
2. Download Magisk from this LINK
3. Flash in TWRP (using the command fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk images/twrp.img). twrp.img is already in the Flash tool that you downloaded.
For EMUI 9.0: Thanks to @ArtaxXP for the findings and the post is here LINK
1. Pre-patch images you need for different version are below. You will be patching this file yourself with magisk canary version.
RECOVERY_RAMDIS_163.img
RECOVERY_RAMDIS_195.img
RECOVERY_RAMDIS_9.0_204.img
RECOVERY_RAMDIS_9.0_236.img
RECOVERY_RAMDIS_9.0_241.img
RECOVERY_RAMDIS_9.0_243.img
RECOVERY_RAMDIS_9.0_251.img
and copy this img to your device (these recovery_ramdisk file extracted from respective EMUI firmware UPDATE.APP)
2. Download and Install latest magisk manager
3. Open Magisk manager, go to settings > update channel > Custom and use the link below
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/master/canary_builds/release.json
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. Go back to magisk manager default page and refresh (pull down). Install the latest magisk manager version when prompted. Now open magisk manager after installing the updated version and again pull down to refresh
5. Now you will be asked to download and flash the latest magisk version. Click on Install and when the next window comes choose "patch only the boot.img" option. Choose the image file that you have downloaded from the link in step 1 above
6. Wait until patching is complete. The patched image will be found in Download folder in your device. Copy this patched_boot.img to your PC in the same folder where you have extracted the Flash tool you used to flash the ROM
7. Reboot device to fastboot mode and flash patched_boot.img using
fastboot command ===> fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk patched_boot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. Now issue command fastboot reboot. Quickly unplug USB cable and hold vol-up button. Now your device will be booted in to rooted ROM
Careful Note:
If you reboot your device normally, it boots in to non-rooted ROM.
To boot to rooted ROM, hold vol-up button until Huawei Logo appears while booting.
IF YOU HAVE PATCHED WITH LATEST MAGISK CANARY BUILD 18.2+, THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO HOLD VOL UP BUTTON WHEN REBOOTING. JUST POWER YOUR DEVICE NORMALLY AND IT BOOTS IN TO ROOTED ROM
How to DOWNGRADE from EMUI 9.0 to EMUI 8.1 for ROOTED EMUI
1. Remove fingerpring, disable screenlock & password and app lock in Settings / Security & privacy. If you miss this step your device will be soft bricked.
2. Download from here / extract yourself EMUI 9.0 recovery_ramdisk from UPDATE.APP
RECOVERY_RAMDIS_195.img (EMUI 9.0 release 11.01.2019)
3. Flash this RECOVERY_RAMDIS_195.img in fastboot and restart your device normally.
Your device may boot in to eRecovery. Switch off and restart in to fastboot and flash this RECOVERY_RAMDIS_195.img again in fastboot
4. Folllow the steps explained in How to Flash section.

GENERAL TWEAKS
AdGuard DNS:
You can read here what is DNS and the goodies of changins it https://www.maketecheasier.com/best-alternate-dns-services/
If anyone wants to change DNS AdGuard which stops ads in browsing. Flash it in magisk. I have done two versions. Default version blocks ads but allows browsing explicit sites and Family Protection block every ads and also explicit contents.
Files attached are,
AdGuard_DNS_(Default).v0.zip
AdGuard_DNS_(Family_Protection).v0.zip
Removal of Apps via ADB command:
If anyone wants to remove bloatware (that you may consider bloat) follow the steps below,
Note: This command doesn't remove the app altogether from your device. It removes the app from the default user 0. To get the apps back, just factory reset your device.
1. Download and unzip ADB files [Link]
2. Make sure that you have enabled USB debugging from Settings / System / Developers options [google search and find how to enable Developer option]
3. Connect your phone to your PC. Go to the folder where you have extracted the file downloaded from step 1 above
4. Double click to run the file cmd-here.exe. It opens command prompt in the same folder where you are
5. Run the command, adb shell
6. Now you can start debloating the apps that you want to (see commands below)
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.youtube [YouTube]

Nice guide, thanks for the mention!
I should add I did not upload these files. They are from a link shared in the MOD EDIT: TELEGRAM LINK DELETED. Check it out as there's lots of useful information in there.

Oh man! Thanks for this! Just perfect! Loving it =)

dang, i flashed these files on my first day with the p20, on a unknown region (C605) and now i'm having to go through with this rebranding: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/help/strange-rebrand-clt-l09-to-clt-29-c432-t3798978
never that easy, is it?

Do you need to name the folder anything specific?
Or literally just download those files an put them into a random folder on your phone?
How does the script see them, just looking for some clarity on that.
I understand the process just not that step.
Cheers for the guide and for taking the time.

You only select the HuRUpdater zip in twrp for flashing. The script automatically finds and flashes the other files.
Just make sure all the files are in the same folder (including HuRUpdater.zip). The folder can be called anything you want.

This stock ROM is very good and smooth. Any opinions?

Finally, received this via OTA
European model / Dual Sim (L29-C432)

is it normal to have " Chipset Boston 8.1.0.001 (011S3)" in build number ?
After the update I mean

any advantage of upgrading from 131 to 131a?

I flashed this yesterday. Honestly can't notice any difference. Build number still states 131...

Similarly I upgraded and don't see any difference, probably minor backend stuff. I think it's only really worth upgrading once a month when the new security patch comes. All the hassle for these small incremental updates isn't really worth it.

Hi guys, I have p20 pro l29 c432.
when I finished flashing huru.zip I reboot phone on twrp. Now phone is bricked
Can you help me please?

Same here :/
stock rom starts but is stuck after selecting WiFi (skipping doesn't work, some security bla about the necessity to verify via google account), it's stuck in "just a sec..." forever.
eRecovery also doesn't work, saying "failed to get package info" whenever I try.
Anyone with a solution?

Try to clean cache in erecovery and try again. Helped me with a different problem but maybe it works for you as well.

Is debranding necessary to flash this ROM? I'm on CLT-L04 8.1.0.109(C792), been learning Huawei's intricacies but still not understanding the debranding thing and keep hearing it tossed around. Are the ROMs themselves region locked or something?

Yes you do. You need to debrand.. Search for the thread in this Forum. You have to debrand to C432. Check your version from settings.

[SOLVED] FindDevice may cause a boot loop?

Hello.
I uninstalled Find Device (pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.finddevice) to avoid its periodic enabling reminders.
However now sometimes "find device has been destroyed" appears as a toast. Also the Security Status in the Settings now crashes.
After finding this message (despite it is other phone model) I'm frightened about a future reboot of my phone. Can my phone really enter in a boot loop the next time I reboot? I have the miui optimization disabled, though.
I have tried to install it back, downloading the 9.0 apk, but it says INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS. Using the "-r" switch also doesn't works ("com.xiaomi.finddevice is a persistent app. Persistent apps are not updateable"). I assume that this is due to haven't erased the app data (uninstalled with -k) but "pm clean" doesn't seems to clean it. I also have tried the -p option for partial installation, but returns a null exception.
Ah, my device is not rooted. MIUI Global 10.2 stable.

I managed to restore the application with the following adb command:
Code:
pm install-existing com.xiaomi.finddevice
It also works with applications uninstalled without "-k 0".
By the way, I used to use "pm disable", but now it seems it is called "pm disable-user".
So, next time I'll preferably use it instead of uninstalling, if works as expected.
Note that it doesn't allows to disable finddevice:
Code:
$ pm disable-user com.xiaomi.finddevice
Package com.xiaomi.finddevice new state: default
The package still continues in default state, unlike when it actually works:
Code:
$ pm disable-user com.miui.player
Package com.miui.player new state: disabled-user

is there a any way to uninstall this application without trouble (without bootloop)?

i have the same question is there a any way to uninstall this application without trouble (without bootloop)?

If it doesn't boot, it's awesome tho.

Without modifying the vendor ROM image there is no way to get rid of it.

Tired of all the pre-installed applications that come with your new phone. Most of them tend to be useless and some tend to be on annoying side with push notifications and battery drains.
One way to get rid of all these intruders is to root your device and delete them using some application or manual purge. Not everyone is comfortable with rooting and it's risks. Also, rooting is not an option on many phones coz of limited support from the developer community. Does that mean one has to learn to live with the bloat?
Thankfully, No. You can get rid of them with the use of ADB (Android Debugging Bridge). The method is safer than manual purge and would not break any system variables, allowing to keep accepting OTAs w/o any issues.
Let's Debloat your Phone.
Note: This method works on every OEM rom as well as custom rom without root access.
Requirements:
Android Platform Tools
Prerequisites:
Disable "App Vault", "Swipe up for google", "Wallpaper Carousel", "Find Device", "Mi Sync"(Don't confuse Mi Sync and Google Sync though)
Follow the steps carefully :
Initial Setup
1. Go to About Phone in Settings.
2. Tap on MIUI version/Build version until it shows You're now a developer. It might ask for password in some cases.
3. Go to Settings>Additional Settings>Developer Options or Settings>System>Developer Options.
4. Enable USB Debugging, Install via USB, USB Debugging(Security Settings). Accept all the prompts thrown.
Note: Most ROMs will only have USB Debugging toggle.
Note: On MIUI, the above step requires an MI Account.
Main Process
Connect your device to the PC now. Recommend using a good quality USB cable for this.
1. Extract the platform tools zip. Navigate to the folder.
2. Shift+Right click and select open command window here.
3. Type adb devices
4. Grant authorization on your phone.
5. Type adb devices again and ensure that it shows your device as connected and authorized.
Note: If your device doesn't show up, you might need to install latest USB drivers for your phone. It usually happens automatically if you have an updated OS. If that's not the case, use this and install the USB drivers.
6. Type adb shell.
7. Type
Code:
pm list packages | grep 'mi'
Here mi is a keyword. You can replace it with whatever you want. This command would return all packages which have the phrase mi in their name.
Type
Code:
pm list packages
for complete list of installed packages.
8. Type
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package-name>
Replace the <package-name> with the package you want to remove. The names can be obtained from the list command in the previous step.
Tip: Package name can be found in app list. Just tap on the small 'i' icon on the top right corner of each app page on MIUI. On custom roms, it's usually given at the bottom.
Tip : If you can't see all apps. Tap on the three dots in the top corner on "Manage Apps" page and tap "Show All Apps". SImilarly on custom roms, it can be achieved by selecting "Show System Apps".
I'm not going to cover all the OEMs or Custom Roms. The process is similar across all OEMs and Custom Roms. Packages that are safe to remove on MIUI are given below:

Conclusion
This is not a complete list. You can remove anything that you find annoying using these commands. Just replace the package name with the package you wish to remove.
However, removing some apps could cause issues. Stay away from MI Account, Security and Google Services related apps. If you accidentally remove something and end up experiencing crashes, please follow the following steps.
Type
Code:
adb shell
.
Type
Code:
cmd package install-existing <name-of-package>
Replace <name-of-package> with the name of the package to be restored.
Note : The method doesn't delete the application. It only changes the permissions of each package and hides it in the system. A Factory Reset, OTA update or a Reinstall would restore the application. Also, if you create a new user, he would have access to the removed applications.

It's personal choice. The tool does the same thing. This is for people who want to do it manually without a tool.
Also that tool is specific to the xiaomi devices to an extent. You can use this on any android smartphone. This doesn't have java dependencies as well.

You can't remove an app completely from the system without root access. If you have a second user, you have to remove it for other users as well.
And I haven't mentioned find find device anywhere.

Great, debloated here. Missed play music only.

Well if you're have root, and can mount system as rw. You could use some root explorer and remove the apk's and there folder. But doing this prevents the ability for OTA update because now the system is changed.
The space saved by doing this is so tiny, you will never notice it.

Very nice thread.
FYI, I have been doing this on stock ROMs for long time. It's nice to see a listed description.
FYI, with this adb method , your debloated apps will remain gone after an OTA update. At least for me they do.

Well if you are concerned about the app data being left. Just run the command as in the . OP bit leave the "-k" off. This part of the command is (keep) , it keeps the user data on device. If you run the command without the -k, then it does not keep data.

Try running adb root and use the uninstall command on the package without the flags. Since you're rooted, it might just remove app + data.

What problems are related to miui gallery removal? Please tell me I don't want to search over whole xda. It is probably bootloop too but I am not sure (hint from some github page).

If I get it it to bootloop by debloating, Can I fix it by adb? I know that I can reinstall app back by adb. I don't have root and twrp so far. Does it respond to adb during this bootloop?

If you get bootloop from adb app uninstall, you will not get to use adb. Factory reset from recovery will undo the changes.
As for the gallery apk. I had removed it and was no longer able to save any photos, from any camera. I was not able to delete files from device either. The gallery app is somehow forced into needed for /sdcard file permissions. You can set it to "adb hide". If you don't want to see it

What is the best tool / app to backup a Xiaomi Mi 9 lite (MIUI 12)?

Hi,
title says it all: I want to delete the bloatware on the Mi 9 lite (MIUI 12)
is there a special tool or app which is suggested and well documented, how to safe my Data? I installed it now 4 times and I am getting tired of reinstalling and changing all the options, so if someone could suggest me a tool I would be very happy.
I rooted it with:

- Magisk Manager
I want to use following method to get rid of the bloatware:

Removing BLoatware

I found a nice and easy way to get rid of bloatware, WITHOUT root, and using Rakesh's bloatware list.
How To Remove Bloatware From Any Xiaomi Devices (Without Root): Easiest Way!
Have you just gotten a new phone and is it already filled up with a bunch of spooky apps preinstalled? Have you tried long pressing and dragging them up your screen to uninstall? Alas! There isn’t …

Find the list of safe-to-remove Xiaomi and MIUI bloatware. Learn how to uninstall system apps on MIUI 14, 13 & 12 via Xiaomi ADB/fastboot tools.

But when I try it, I get stuck after installing Java SE Development Kit–and Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools, when the software will not recognize my phone. (USB debugging was done)
This is new phone. What else do I need to have, before this will work? Some accounts? A simcard??
Thank You

I guess adb drivers are missing. To installing that. And why don't you use simple adb after installing drivers.
Adb shell
Pm uninstall --user 0 <package name>
Pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name>
Would recommend first one, second retains cache and some data.
Yes it's a less intuitive way, but I prefer this doing everything myself, at least trying to rely on less and less dependencies.
But using adb doesn't free up space, it's more like it just disables app, the only difference is that in both the cases APK is still in system, just don't show up in settings like as it will remain shown when disabled.

Thank you for that list.
My problem is different..... I already have a list and I will of course compare it with yours. What I do not have is ACCESS.
The "usual" system, which I found here:
Does not recognize my phone. Probably, because I use no google or any other accounts. So I need to know what is needed to to access the bloatware, no matter what list I use...
