So, I have an Honor 5C (I’m in Europe, if that’s significant), I’ve been rooted for a while and today I wanted to install a custom ROM. After installing TWRP using the official app, (I tried it with fastboot, but no success) I downloaded the LineageOS 14.1 ROM and tried to install it. This failed, I got error 7 and started googling the cause. No success. Right now I’m just confused with all the different 5C models and apparently different EMUI versions. My questions:
1. How do I know what model I have? (NEM-L21, NEM-L22, NEM-L51 etc.)
2. What’s up with the EMUI versions? I know I had 4.1.2 and never got a notice saying I could update to 5.x, so how are people on those versions?
3. Same for the Android version, I was on marshmallow 6.0 but other people are on nougat?
4. I wiped everything and am unable to boot right now. What ROM must I download to boot again? And is it possible for this to be nougat, instead of marshmallow which I was previously on?
Thanks in advance, I’m very new to this scene and all the different models and versions are kind of overwhelming me
First of all, you shouldn't use the official twrp, because that once partially bricked my phone, and you should have used EliteTWRP for installing the roms, because it required you to back up before some partitions, that official twrp couldn't, also, to answer your first question, you find it out in your phone's settings app, in the About Phone section, but since you didnt look at that before you flashed and deleted everything, I don't know how to figure it out without the settings app, also diffirent region phones get diffirent updates, my dad's honor 6 never got an update out of 4.4.2, but some phones had access to newer versions(not by flashing custom roms), also you should download some dload things i dont remember how to do it, never done that myself, but for that I'm pretty sure you need to know if you're using NEM-L21, NEM-L22, NEM-L51 or something like that
Hello everyone!
i have random problems when i am flashing roms on my PRA-LA1(C10).
First 2 days ago i update my phone on EMUI 8.0.0 and Oreo 8.0.0 with huawei firmware finder (after compatibility check). all was done perfect but i want Project Treble Oreo for my P8 lite 2017.
In last 48 hours i bricked it two times but now i have learned how to unbrick it on Oreo 8.0.0 Again ,
With accidentally downloaded TWRP for EMUI8 and it flashed only! on ramdisk with huawei MT.
But i want Project treble OS. i have checked with treble check from play store and my phones partition style was only A, then i download AOSP os with arm64-A os .img but after install always same error! :Func NO : 11 (recovery image) Error NO : 2 (load image).
after unbrick i have installed Pixel Experience official os with A partition style only and same error.
now i cannot Flash eRecovery images after upgrade (i can flash only ramdisk emui 8 TWRP-s) to EMUI 8 but i dont care it.
let me INSTALL PROJECT TREBLE Offician rom. ANY rom but not this stupid EMUI
Bootloader and FRP unlocked.
P.S. thank you all, i try to explain all steps for not waste time with basic "FIX" tutorials.

Yes it works fine. you can also delete whole data with this recovery and reformat all partitions, after that u can mount system. but carefully.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rlQPRP234PoXY_yqup3oK_joOZGSIker/view << this is Oreo TWRP from xda thread(https://www.xda-developers.com/huaw...e-android-oreo-update-project-treble-support/) and it works i think. but after EMUI upgrade u can flash it on Ramdisk_recovery. not on eRecovery.
P.s i have tested on PRA-LA1 only!

try downloading a service firmware and restoring with dload:
http://www.androidhost.ru
Go to search files and search for your phone model.
I'm currently running ALP-L29 9.0.0.109(C185E2R1P8log) and i'm trying to install ALP-L29 9.0.0.159(C185E2R1P12) though system upgrade option, but when i'm trying to upgrade it shows system update error message and the upgrade does not executes.
Do i need to roll back to 8.0 version first? This beta that i have now installed will detect someday the new version and upgrade automatically ? the device is already unlocked.
Please advice.

I'm not sure which method he used to update his phone, but you can use eRecovery method of FunkyHuawei if your phone is not unlocked with bootloader. I used it to update to 9.0.0.108 (mine is C636), going to update to 9.0.0.159 tonighf. Check the attached image, it shows the available Pie firmwares as mentioned.

Since Huawei stopped the bootloader unlocking service, and I got my phone recently, the method of unlocking the bootloader is troublesome and kind of costly, so I decided not to do anything with it. With FunkyHuawei's eRecovery method, you can update your phone to any firmwares available on their site even with a locked bootloaded. It is quite easy, you should take a look at it. If you decided to go with them, I'd recommend you to back up your data (HiSuite might not be able to restore app data) before updating. I had to factory reset the phone after the update because the phone might have some glitches. Really, I'd recommend this method, it does cost you $18 but it gets the job done. You can PM me if you have any further question.

I had an error while trying to update to 159 via eRecovery method. The computer does not recognize the USB connection. Couldn't fix it myself so I contacted FunkyHuawei and they advised me to do HiSuite method and it worked. I thought I had to downgrade to Oreo first but I just left the 159 on and it could update. May be that could be your solution too.
Thank you all, i have unlocked, rebrand and install Pie my device using funkyhuawei services but since i ran out of credits i want to be sure that if i renew just 1 credit to download the new firmware i can do the upgrade directly from my pie old build to the new one without issues instead of purchase more credits if i have to execute more tasks.
I've manage to download the new build from another site but as i mentioned as im trying to installing using the hidden menu it does not work

When is mate 10 (Alp-l29, c185) receiving emui 9 in the middle east?
Hi I am desperate to receive emui 9.0 after seeing many sites claiming the beta for middle east varients.
I joined the beta program few months ago but misteriously got kicked out or I must say the "my projects" tab was empty a week ago. I would like to know when actually huawei will roll out and OTA update for the mate 10, thankyou

Regarding to OTA, FH told me that we might be able to receive (this build is a legit build from Huawei anyway), but we have to wait and see. I notice that Huawei sends out update at different times to different locations for the same model, hate it. Mate 10 pro is on build 161, but Mate 10 is on build 159, so I guess we have to check FH once in a while together with System Updater. Actually, FH released official Pie updates before Huawei officially announced Pie update schedule, kinda strange though, many have a conspiracy theory on the relationship between FH and Huawei
I think the ROMs provided by FH are stock ROM, that is why we can update the phone through Huawei methods and not third-party ones. Let me guess, you did a factory reset after upgarding to Pie? I had this problem with beta version, and it is an issue with Pie builds, according to FH. If you want to downgrade to Oreo or another build, you have to do it via a specific HiSuite version, to me this way is so much faster than eRecovery. I can provide you the software, but I'd suggest you to contact to FH first, they told me that the reason they don't publish this method is because not every one's issue has a same cause. This is a last resort.
Hope this'd be helpful.

Dear,
They also told me that they didn't stop OTA updates, it's upto huawei to send OTA updates, I hope so it will be like this,
Yes I did factory reset after installing the Pie on my phone, because it was little slow and glitches. No ERecovery is not working to go back to Stock recovery. Can you please tell me that method to try it. Which version you are talking about for HiSuite. I want to go back to the Stock ROM and to receive updates via Huawei OTA. Its very strange to me, that updates are available in the market for the phone, and Huawei not sending to their phones, and also someone like(FW) able to update the phone, something is fishy. May huawei becomes more professional in doing promises.. and satisfy their customers more.

Yes, I also got glitches and many time couldn't turn on the screen, that is why I had to do it. I uploaded the HiSuite version here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NYsPYS6aB1BHaf1p5F_mJJJQMOSc0lql/view?usp=drivesdk
Uninstall your current HiSuite, install this version and follow the same steps (DNS) with FH but without eRecovery.
Not so sure about the stock recovery as you mentioned, but may be what you need is to downgrade to Oreo. I checked on FH and they have a new firmware for downgrade purpose, I don't know what is the difference though. Good luck.
Just received a patch for build 159 from Huawei, so I think OTA works normal on FH's roms.
Finally, ALP-L29 9.0.0.159 officially launched here in Saudi Arabia, and I was not satisfied with the FunkyHuawei software. So decided to downgrade my phone to Android Oreo again, and then update officially.

Last week I bought the Galaxy A90 5G (SM-A9080, China version), and immediately searched for ways of Magisk installation.
Indeed there are multiple articles from Google showning the methods. I tried most of them and regretfully all failed.
Even I followed the instruction from this forum, however, I still failed.
This is because of my current model? Because the current version of Magisk is not updated enough? Because of the mechanism of Samsung's Android 9 OS?
I also got the Galaxy Note8 running Android 9, and the way of Magisk installation on Android 8 and previous ones does not work on Android 9.
I do need Root/Magisk due to my requirement, but there is likely a huge barrier preventing me from the Root.
Thus, there is no possible solution?

I own a A908B (German Version) and I'm on Android 10 running Magisk on Stock OS. This is the tutorial i followed and it works. Since there is no Custom Recovery yet the only thing we can do right now is patch the AP-Image of every single update we get... And be prepared to backup everything you have because it's going tor require a full data wipe
Thanks for your advice.
Last night I upgraded my SM-A9080 to Android 10 and managed to get the phone rooted via Odin3.

Hi!
Is there ANY android 12 rom for the p20 pro? Or at the very least a rom with updated security patches?
Kind of a shame that i might have to replace the device just because of an outdated OS, the phone still works good.
The hardware should be able to do it no problem, considering i have a spare ****ty moto g30 that is running it from factory.
No Android 12 but latest update on mine 10.0.0.201 (received about month ago) has security patches from February 2022.. so I see no security issue there.
EMUI 12 (based on Android 11) is i think now in beta stage for P20 Pro.. so should be arriving in a couple of months...Stable version of EMUI12 on P30 series is rolling out globally at the moment... P20 series should be next...

Yeah, that's why i was talking about security patches, last updated April 2019..
Will try after a full backup. Anything i should be aware of? Running root through a patched image (Magisk) and busybox
And thats the reason why you don't get updates. Root is guilty. You have to update it manually, but you should make a copy of bootloader img from android 9 because in emui 10 (android 10) they deleted the option to unlock/lock it. Btw how did you got the bootloader unlocking code?

Ah, should have known. Thanks for informing me though! Any idea how to do that? Will share the unlocked image if it's of any use for others.
I unlocked it about a month or two after the launch of the phone through Huawei. Received an unlock code via email.
unfortunately I bought my phone a moment after they removed the possibility of getting the code. Yeah sure it would have use for others who were so lucky and got the unlock code (they would not have to install emui 9 to get the boot.img). Unlucky I can't really help you, only with theory because i didn't ever even rooted a huawei phone. I only installed twrp, custom rom and rooted my huawei watch 2 and another (samsung) phone... Continuing: In theory you have to get somehow the image with the latest version and install/flash it and then flash the old bootloader from android 9 (probably with these command: "fastboot flash boot path/name_of_the_img.img")

Android 10 is available for P20 series since about 1.5 years (can't remember exactly), and you should be getting security updates approx every 3 months.
If you are stuck on Android 9.0 you may have to update using HiSuite.
Built in eRecovery may help too (turn phone off, hold volume up, connect to charger and keep holding volume up until you get white menu screen, there should be option there for system recovery, select and enter wifi password, phone will download latest version of system available and install it)

I found a tutorial, but it's from 2017 https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...d-rooted-but-otherwise-on-stock-emui.3702156/
Interesting, however is there even a working TWRP for the p20 pro? In any case, I'm running stock recovery.
I've looked at the possibility of using the app "Flashfire", might have some use.
Like I said I have no idea. But I have good news about updates. I just got the emui 12 beta so June or July there should be stable verison for everyone.

Just tested this, both eRecovery and HiSuite says Android 9 is the latest. Probably have to wipe the phone first.
And it just became even stranger.
Reset to factory from settings: Only removed my lock screen.
Reset to factory from eRecovery: Nothing, just a reboot.
Tried to install Android 9 from eRecovery: just derooted my phone, otherwise everything is the same.
Managed to lowlevel wipe the phone through Find my device, but still not able to upgrade.

EMUI 12 for old phones (like P40 Pro, P30 Pro etc.) is based on Android 10. Probably, only the recently released phones are based on Android 11.
