I had some issue after updating to B370 OTA so I decided to reflash my phone. I was able to flash L09C432B360 FullOTA-MF-PV update.app from update.zip. However I tried to flash update_data_full_hw_eu.zip by extracting all files and putting them in the dload folder on SD and going vol + & vol - method, it runs the updater really quickly but does not install anything new on my phone and my bluetooth doesn't work and other stock apps are missing. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Have the same question. Since the huawei updater method don't work for me.
Same for me, any idea??
You don't have to use all the files from "data_full...", you just need the update.app for dload. Try a reflash.
install the zip with TWRP
Please help me to extract UPDATE.APP for
BOOT.img
RECOVERY. img
SYSTEM.img
:crying:

Download Huawei Update Extractor. Uncheck the header checksum option and you're good to go. The tool will unpack update.app from the FullOTA-MF.
to find a FULL-Update read this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/9-lite/how-to/how-to-huaweiupdatefinder-t3795805
Attention : there are 2 different phones/pad - with OREO and with older android
OREO
- ramdisk.img
- recovery_ramdis.img
- system.img
the boot.img is inside ramdisk.img
you need the right one - not just any
the core for any thing doing - look on your phone WHAT IS YOUR BUILD
Anyone noticed that can't root with magisk the p20 pro or it just me?
Yes! There is a way to extract the boot image, use Magisk to patch it, then flash that boot image via fastboot. I'm actually waiting for someone with experience to advise on these items:
1. Can I extract the boot image from my phone directly? If so, can someone point me in the direction of the software to do so?
2. If I can't extract directly, do I need to use the update file from Firmware Finder that matches my current firmware exactly? I'm running B155, but there seems to be slight variations in the naming for some of the available firmware.
3. After I get all of this completed successfully, how do I verify that the image is good to use to avoid bricking the phone?
Thanks in advance to anyone that could help!

This guide has everything you should need. https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
1. No, unless rooted
2. Find either the same FW you are on, or extract from a OTA.
3. Not sure on that one, it's always worked for me.

Thank you so much! Do you have any idea where I can get the OTA or at least figure out in specificity which OTA on Firmware Finder is correct? It sounds like it needs to be 100% exact to avoid issues / bricking.

OK... so I was able to extract the RAMDISK.IMG file but I can't patch it because Magisk Manager hangs after I install it. Is there a way to patch the RAMDISK.IMG file manually or via PC?
OK... so if anyone who is having trouble rooting... this is what I did to get root.
1. Be sure to download the firmware you are CURRENTLY on to avoid any possible issues.
2. Extract the RAMDISK.img file from the post above: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
3. Obtain a previously patched RAMDISK file to get an initial Magisk install on your phone first. There is one on XDA floating around named CLT-29-MAGISK.img.
4. Boot into FASTBOOT and then get to a CMD window with your ADB tools and use the command "fastboot flash ramdisk CLT-29-MAGSIK.img"
5. Reboot the phone and download Magisk Manager 5.5.5.
6. After installing Magisk Manager 5.5.5, install the next two upgraded versions while INSIDE Magisk Manager until you get to 7.1.x.x.
7. Click INSTALL on the Magisk option and let Magisk Manager patch your freshly extracted RAMDISK.img file from Step 2.
8. Copy that RAMDISK.img file to your PC.
9. Boot into FASTBOOT and then get to a CMD window with your ADB tools and use the command "fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img"
10. Reboot and you'll have root!

Not sure why people struggle with this. The guy who started this thread has a copypasta guide he posted and could have followed. You should post your post in guide section for others I guess.

People struggle because the firmware is from 100 different regions, all with different release dates, there is no official TWRP that works 100% correctly with encryption, and Magisk changed the standard install method. I'm not surprised that people are having a tough time figuring out what to do so they don't brick their phone. This thing isn't cheap!
Hi, I rooted my s10 with magisk but cannot flash twrp parched with odin because the file is .img and odin accepts file tar.
What do I Havel to do?
Guide to Extract Boot image file and flash via Odin Tool
First, download the preferred Samsung Stock ROM for your device model.
Extract the firmware zip file on your computer within a folder.
Now, the boot image file named as AP_xxx (similar kind of) file.
Recently, Samsung firmware files use a new compression type called .lz4 extension. You may see something like boot.img.lz4 file name.
Extract the boot.img.lz4 file via 7Zip to .tar extension and now you will see the boot.img.tar file. Download 7Zip - github (dot) com (slash) mcmilk (slash) 7-Zip-zstd (slash) releases
Now, open the Odin tool and connect your device to the PC via a USB cable.
Click on the ‘AP’ button and select the boot.img.tar file from your computer.
Click on the ‘Start’ button.
That’s it. Wait for flashing to complete and reboot your handset.
Hope this guide will be helpful to you. If you’re facing any issue, you can ask your queries in the comments below.
that's the question, it says I can't update because I have a modified system
it's stock rom manually flashed with unlocked bootloader
If you rooted your phone using magisk download the latest firmware from samfw or any other site transfer the AP file to your phone patch it using magisk and then use ADB to pull it because if you just drag and drop the file from your phone to your pc it will probably lose some things on the way so download ADB and use the command adb pull "location of the patched file" don't use " after that when you flash the new firmware with odin in the AP slot select the patched file it would be named magisk_patched and some random letters, in the rest of the slots use the normal files from the firmware you downloaded and thats it. If this helped you make sure to like my response ! Thank you
