Hello Honor 5c/7lite users. I want to give you a beta of Emui 5.0. If you want to install it, you need use TWRP recovery. I used TWRP from Meticulus https://mega.nz/#!cEs2mRZY!aNlPFCfDhdlARPYBk8zjkSVh8nxPTrlu_zRYftVPM3c First step: make full wipe. Second step: first install update.zip second install update_data_full_NEM-L21_hw_eu.zip . After install wipe cache/dalvik. Third step: Reboot your device. Wait few minutes before first login.
DOWNLOAD

For now, everything looks OK. Works normal, without any problems.
Before flashing I used EMUI 4.1 so I don`t know how it is if you want to migrate from LineageOS 14.1 or Cyanogenmode 13.1 In my opinion full wipe and format Dalvik / ART Cache", "Cache", "Data", "Internal Storage" i "System" should be enough.

I don`t got OTA. I could not wait for the update so one of my friend from other forum sent me this packages and I used them. Before update he had B132 and I had B100 .

Thanks! I'm on NMO-L31 (aka huawei GT3). I'm undecided if try this or meticulus Lineage 14.1.
Ps. Installed Emui 5.0, and everything work well: camera, fingerprint, etc. I'm looking for a root/twrp method now
Ps1. I managed to root Huawei GT3:
-reboot to bootloader via adb
-flashed "RevolutionRecovery_Nougat_P9Lite_B.9_15-12-16" through fastboot;
-reboot to recovery via adb
-mount system and vendor
-flash "SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0"
-Reboot
-Install supersu via google play, and then busybox (I've used that by meefik developer on google play)
Please try at your own risk; I can post some photos.

great work, will test now and let you know
EMUI install
Hey everyone.
Is there any way to install this like normal firmware? For example:
1) To put on a SD card the dload folder with UPDATE.APP the file inside,
2) In project menu (to collect *#*#2846579#*# *), to select Software Upgrade -> SDCard Upgrade
(complete installation, all user data remain)
I don't wanna lose my warranty but I would like to try EMUI 5

dload method won't work, since u need to flash a zip file. Twrp is needed for that, as well as unlocked bootloader.

You can always relock bootloader. And when you install official release of Nougat after it will come out it will relock bootloader automatically.

I have a NEM-L51. Root got access. Thanks!
Bricked my phone installing this on NEM-L22
I am not able to access bootloader, recovery or adb.
The phone just shows Honor logo (No boot loops)
Tried connecting to PC by holding volume - button (Before it was working to get into bootloader, But now its not working).
Tried placing dload on MicroSD card and hold three buttons together to flash the rom. Nothing happens
Tried to get into recovery by holding volume + and power button (No recovery)
Any help will be much appreciated. Thank You

Hey guys,
I've had a total of 4 android smartphones during the last years, and I did root all of them and even install diferent ROM's, but on this phone (Honor 7) was kinda diferent.
The root process is way more complex than all the other androids I did root (simply flash a .zip file...) so I've been post-poning this task over and over..
Finally yesterday I gained courage to try out rooting my phone, and while attempting to root my Honor 7, after flashing SuperSU from TWRP, my phone no longer booted.
Stressed as I was, I just told to myself "f*ck it" and formatted the system and I didn't care much if there was a fix without needing to format the system. (but then I realised that I could not find any .img ROM files to flash from TWRP recovery, so basically I did my actions wrong once again)
I followed the tutorial from guidebeats.com which talks about rooting EMUI 4.0 Android 6.0 (I cant post links)
Basically this is the story:
While unlocking the bootloader, even though, the tutorial said the phone would reboot itself after typing "flashboot oem unlock 1234934829" I did a hard reboot (or reset?) holding (VOL+) + Power button and I have the feeling that the bootloader unlock was not 100% done, even if it said it was unlocked. (Phone was working perfectly fine there)
Then I flashed SuperSU, and I could no longer boot. After powering up my phone, after the first splashscreen, the screen would only turn black.
What (I think) I need to now is remove the TWRP recovery, and use the stock one and attempt to install an "update" using (Vol+) + (Vol-) + Power. (please correct me if I'm wrong)
But now there's some issues I got that I'd like some help with:
1- How can I get back to the stock recovery? (NOTE: I currently got no OS installed on my Honor 7, since I formated it)
2- Will I need to lock and unlock my bootloader again (if I want to 'fix' the bootloader unlock?)
3- Where can I get official Honor 7 stock ROM? (would be awesome if there was already the Android 6 stock rom for a clean install)
4- What are the steps on this tool (Honor 7 Multi-Tool) to root my phone?
I need my Honor 7 asap
Sorry for the long post, It's my first time doing a more advanced root and I have all these questions.
Thank you very much for any kind help!

As you are already familiar with adb and other stuff so will write a short post for you.
To download latest firmware, head to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/hon...tock-firmware-packages-honor-7-t3448747/page1
Google, download and install Huawei update extractor and open UPDATE.APP in it (obtained after extracting firmware).
You can see all the images. Just extract recovery and boot to platform-tools folder.
Meantime, do the unlocking command again, with
Fastboot OEM unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Followed by fastboot reboot
And press and hold the vol down button again until you reboot in bootloader.
Flash the recovery and boot you extracted using
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
(I got a habit of extracting and flashing system and Cust using
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash Cust Cust.img
But they are not necessary)
Now you are set to try a 3 button update (sometimes it gets stuck so if it's stuck for 15 minutes, try 3 button again).
Please do report back if it comes to life.
To root, just flash twrp and then use SuperSU 2.62 (no other version) and update it later using play store.

Hey!
Thank you alot for your reply.
From the link you sent about the firmwares, there are alot of Builds for the L01 (EU) model. Can I simply use the latest from the list or I gotta install 1 by 1 (from older to newer)?
Also, the bootloader unlock thing, is it ok if I wait to do it until I install the stock ROM again? Because I think I don't have the code anymore (Also don't know about IMEI)
Other thing, yesterday before bricking my phone, I tried to re-unlock the bootloader as you said above, but it didnt let me because "it was already unlocked".
I really have no idea if it's 100% unlocked or not.
important thing!
With those ROM's, I still have the right to receive official OTA updates from the HiCare app right?
Thank you again

Just use B380 as it's the latest full firmware available there.
Unlocking bootloader again was just a precautionary measure (proceed without it and if it is not 100% unlocked and if something goes wrong, we can troubleshoot later, which imo, won't happen)
And yep, if you keep the firmware as it is, but if you flash twrp and root, you will still see the update available in Hicare but will have to install stock recovery again before upgrading. (Nothing else is needed as SuperSU 2.62 gives a systemless root so you only need to flash back stock recovery for an update)
I am not against honor-tool bit it's best to do things manually as it makes you learn stuff and is easy to troubleshoot if something is amiss.

Alright, btw, about the thing you said
"Now you are set to try a 3 button update (sometimes it gets stuck so if it's stuck for 15 minutes, try 3 button again)."
I gotta do that myself with an "update.app" file or what?
Sorry, I missed that part
Cheers!

You have to make a dload folder in SD card and copy UPDATE.APP to that folder.
Then just turn off the phone, press and hold power + vol up + vol down until phone boots.
Let go of power but keep others two pressed for 5, 6 sec more. Your phone will boot into recovery and start installing UPDATE.APP
It likes to get stuck at 5% (most reports) but sometimes, somewhere else. If its stuck for 15 minutes on a particular percentage, just press and hold the above three buttons again using the same process.
Multiple tries make it work...

Hello
How did you format your phone?
I'm still struggling with going back to Android 5 and EMUI 3.1 since there is no rollback file available. (PLK-AL10, B396) Maybe formatting and installing the old rom could be a solution, like in your case?

Hello.
Do you have unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery? You can format your phone from TWRP recovery.
I think the only option for you is to get the old ROM img and flash it (starting from 0)
You can dirty-flash (Flash a different ROM with same android version as yours, e.g: flashing custom android 5 ROM over your stock android 5 ROM without factory resetting your phone) but I dont think you can do that from Android 6 to 5.

Yes I have unlocked bootloader and currently not twrp but I can flash it at any time.
The last two paragraphs you wrote are different solutions or the last one is a more detailed explanation of the previous?
I have android 6 so the later method won't work as you said.
But formatting it and flashing a stock android 5 rom - is it that simple? Nobody here suggested this before, however I have been asking for months.
All the phones are empty when they leave the assembly line.
How did you flash the new rom to your formatted phone? Extracted update.app and flashed each file with fastboot? Any issues you faced?

From my last 2 paragraphs, the first was a solution, the second was an impossible alternative that I thought it would work.
My issue was that I had a custom recovery but I had no ROM installed, so I had to install the stock recovery and boot (extracting from update.app) and flashing it via fastboot, to afterwards force the update with 3-button method.
-----
What you'll need to do is:
- Flash TWRP
- Wype system, data, cache.. (so that you completely delete your current ROM)
- Extract recovery.img and boot.img from an update.app of an Android 5 ROM you'd like to have (Official ROM for your device model)
- Flash them via fastboot (You'll go back to stock recovery again)
- Shutdown your device
- Create a folder named "dload" on your sdcard and put UPDATE.APP file in it.
- Reboot
- Do the 3-Button update ([Vol+] + [Vol-] + Power)
- If it works, it will auto install
(- If it gets stuck on 5% for over 5/10min, force reboot pressing [Vol+] + Power) and try again the installation
- After installing it will boot normally (first boot takes a while)
NOTE: I'd recommend creading the dload folder before wiping the ROM, because usb didnt work for me afterwards. (It would still work if I was on recovery tho)
>> Remember to make a full system backup before wiping aswell, dont be stupid like me xD (thats why I had to full wipe my system after soft-brick)

Hi again,
I'm doing this OS installation now. It starts fine but stucks at 90%, (I'm trying to install the latest stock ROM which can be downloaded from Huawei site, B220 or221). Did you have the same issue? I waited more than half an hour at 90% but did not go on.

Maybe formatting, Flash stock Android 5 recovery using Honor multitool , and then Flash a Android 5 firmware
Not sure it Will Work without rollback..
Finally, after 2 months of struggling I managed to get back to Android 5 and EMUI 3.1 without a rollback file.
Here is what I did:
0. Download a full ROM you want to install
1. Backup of the current system with Hisuite (everything. Apps, media, contacts, call log, etc.)
2. Flash TWRP recovery with fastboot (start phone in fastboot mode)
3. Wipe (and format!) everything you can with TWRP
4. Extract boot.img and recovery.img from update.app of the new ROM with Huawei Update Extractor
5. Flash boot.img and recovery.img with fastboot.
6. Copy update app to dload folder on SD card, insert into the phone.
7. Restart phone with [VOL+] + [VOL-] + [Power] buttons to force update.
8. The system will be installed from SD card. I had no issues with the installation. First I did not format the phone (just wiped) and it did not work.
9. Restore data from backup.
The only strange thing is that the native app icons look different than my previous lollipop system. Don't know why. They are less colorful. I installed C00B220 for PLK-AL10.

Finally, after 2 months of struggling I managed to get back to Android 5 and EMUI 3.1 without a rollback file.
Here is what I did:
0. Download a full ROM you want to install
1. Backup of the current system with Hisuite (everything. Apps, media, contacts, call log, etc.)
2. Flash TWRP recovery with fastboot (start phone in fastboot mode)
3. Wipe (and format!) everything you can with TWRP
4. Extract boot.img and recovery.img from update.app of the new ROM with Huawei Update Extractor
5. Flash boot.img and recovery.img with fastboot.
6. Copy update app to dload folder on SD card, insert into the phone.
7. Restart phone with [VOL+] + [VOL-] + [Power] buttons to force update.

Yes it does. (It did for me.) Technically this is not a rollback but installing a brand new system on an empty phone. That's why it is important to do a backup upfront.

Thanks for the answer. Im gonna try this method. I can't reflash any region rom.
Hey guys,
I'm still running the stock EUI ROM and getting pretty sick of it.
I've looked at getting my bootloader unlocked and installing TWRP but it seems pretty complicated for this device and what information I could find didn't work for me.
Can anyone show me some noob friendly guides on getting this done?
Much appreciated!
What?!? I never had a phone which bootloader unlocks easier than in Le Max 2. You have a special switch for that i developer options. That's all. Next you have to restart your phone in bootloader mode and flash desired recovery using fastboot commands.

Wow, I didn't know that's how you unlock the bootloader. Sorry like I said I'm not very familiar with this device yet. Thanks!
As far as using fastbood commands I tried that but the drivers didn't seem to work on my PC. I couldn't get any of that to work. But I'll keep trying.
If you have anything like Samsung Kies or HTC Sync, etc. installed on your PC, you might try to remove it and reinstall drivers using "15 seconds ADB installed".
i just posted this yesterday,. i guess i could have chosen a better title... do you have any suggestions?? (maybe "full guide: adb, fastboot, twrp recovery, backup, flashing"?????)

@thielek what windows do you have? I can suggest something if you have win7, for win10 you can find a guide in some other threads.

No, actually you need to disable the signature verification if I recall it right. I can't find the thread for win10 driver installation right now but for sure I have seen it on xda for LeMax2
Here is the tuturial for noobs (I was noob too and I wrote it for people like me):
Here is the quick tutorial for users like me:
1. Enable USB Debugging
2. Connect phone to the computer
3. Unzip this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862669609 and run LE_X2_fastboot.exe
4. Wait until it say "Press any button to reboot phone" and just press random button
5. Your phone will boot into system
If you want change to China 21s with SuperSU, you just have to:
1. Turn off your phone
2. Press VolumeUp + Power button - it's gonna boot you to TWRP
3. You can now upload the 21s.zip and SuperSU-v2.78...zip files to your phone from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-m...a-rom-t3492640
4. On your phone go to Whipe and whipe all data (swipe blue arrow)
5. Go to Install and choose 21s.zip and wait - when it ends it's gonna boot you to the system
6. Turn off your phone and again boot to Recovery (VolumeUp + Power button)
7. Choose Install and choose SuperSU.zip and there you are!
Now you're gonna have China 21s with root and SuperSu!

Wow! That fastboot program was amazingly simple. Thank you! How did I know find this before. The other guides are very long.
So that installed cuoco92's ROM as well as TWRP. Do you suggest using his ROM? That second link you provided in the next paragraph didn't work.
I was looking for a very clean and vanilla android like ROM. I hate EUI and am excited for that CM 14.1 build but it's not ready yet.
Thanks again very much!

The process I am aware of is
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Install twrp (or any custom recovery) in fastboot mod
3. Flash SuperSu zip to get root access.

Well, first of all, this is not my work, I'm just sharing this guide that worked for me, it should work on any kirin device.
I have a P10 (VTR-L29C432), don't ask me if it works on X device, just try it for yourself as I did.
1) You need an unlocked bootloader and FRP
2) If you don't want to lose any data, backup your internal memory, because you'll need to do some wipes on stock recovery.
3) Reboot into TWRP and flash the "Huawei_remove_encyption_data_2.zip", here's the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-how-to-decrypt-data-mate-9-hi3660-t3834748, you can use blackball's TWRP (p10 plus) or twrp from Honor 9 lite forum (both works on any emui and pie's rom, but you'll need and sdcard in order to flash the file)
4) After that, reboot into bootloader and flash your stock recovery and wipe data and cache
5) Reboot again into bootloader and flash again your favorite Twrp.
Some Twrps:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77262856&postcount=166 P10 plus TWRP

https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/theme-twrp-materialised-dark-light-play-t2915584 Themes for TWRP, download and flash as a normal zip.
If your device isn't hi3660 (kirin 960), you'll need to do it manually, first go to vendor/etc and look for a file called "fstab......" (you'll need to remember that name), go to the zip file that you previously downloaded and extract it, go to the folder vendor/etc and you'll see the fstab.hi3660 file, rename it with the name of your fstab and paste it into vendor/etc (if it ask for overwrite, hit the YES button), reboot and do the wipes on stock
If it was useful for you, go and say thanks / donate to @micky387 for their work and to the Devs that made possible the tools that we use. :highfive:

nope, this dont work for me... it stuck on TWRP logo
i flash one from tutorial, twrp_recovery.img
in order to make any twrp working, first you need to reboot into fastboot and type fastboot -w, after that flash any twrp and follow the steps, I tried it with many recoveries, even with p10plus version.
Actually I'm using one from PRA forum, it works with custom roms
but internal memory is encrypted, but is not a problem for me.
i flash 3.1.1 twrp for oreo 8.0 based roms
this one see more partition to backup like others
@micky387 updated the files and the process, so I updated the thread all the credits to him

I experimented similarly on two P9 phones with Oreo, and was able to encrypt back by doing:
Install latest + Factory reset from eRecovery
Of course, before eRecovery, you must revert to stock Recovery (and stock eRecovery, Kernel if they were flashed over) and unroot (stock Ramdisk) - without you risk a brick
Edit: Also, while having decrypted Data and internal memory, successfully received an OTA patch (Huawei stopped updating but sent a smalll OTA patch to the existing firmware)

But as I said I don't want to encrypt back because if I had no need to permanently decrypt (for TWRP backup reasons, I have berkeley and encryption doesn't work there on TWRP) I wouldn't do it. Instead, I want to decrypt and then do a normal device encryption in AICP. Or am I getting it wrong and it's the same type of encryption in the end?
My phone just got the android 9 update, I already had installed root with twrp on my device with android 8.0
So when I tried to re-root my phone I needed to reinstall the TWRP but it couldn't decrypt the data
I tried all of the posible solutions to this but nothing
I think that is the TWRP version that can't decrypt data in android 9.0
But in the web isn't any version that support the Mi 8 LIte with Android 9.0
Do I need to wait until someone update the TWRP version or what can I do?
Thanks in advance

You are upgrading now; for this you need to decrypt it for first time and probably every time that you switch from a miui to an AOSP rom. Be sure that your data partition is mounted and I guess you can´t see the files under TWRP. Try first with this zip https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389
Stock Miui re-encrypt data on first boot after factory reset, so you need to flash Universal DM-Verity
I also need TWRP for pie.

Would you happen to know if opengapps aroma works with this recovery. I have tried 3 or 4 other revoveries and once options are selected and install starts recovery reboots. After that I have to hold power to force reboot because no matter what reboot option I choose it just goes back to recovery.

Unfortunately I can't tell you for sure cause left 3 days to unlock my bootloader but I used this recovery in two Xiaomi devices (R5Plus and Mi Max) and was the best I ever tried, never had issue flashing Aroma zips.
Be sure that once finished the installation Reboot box in Aroma be unticked

If you are using the wzsx150 3.2.3 twrp found under the ROM/recovery section, versions 0121 and 0212 are both supposed to be for Android 9. I haven't tried myself though, as I am still on 8.
I can confirm version 0212 does indeed decrypt data partition, making it mountable it inside TWRP. Of course phone's now running on official Android 9 MIUI 10, updated on Wednesday.
So heads up for anyone trying to use open gapps aroma installer. No recovery will install it. Tried batik, orange fox, perp, and wzsx150 twrp and all do the same. After all the selections when the actual installation starts the device reboots (installs nothing but does save setting options) back to recovery. All reboot options (system, fastboot, etc) all reboot back to recovery only holding power button will allow device to boot into system.

Any idea why is 0212 half the size of 0121, and the others for that matter (28MB vs 60MB).
I believe it's somehow compressed. If you open these files with something like 7zip you'll see the size is very close between the two.

Once again @M-Rom ! First TWRP for the Xperia 2019 Flagships and now the 2020 Series...
Same as for the Xperia 1 II:
-Download and extract the ZIP File to Your fastboot Location and rename it to recovery.img (for ease use)
-Use:
fastboot flash recovery_a recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery_b recovery.img
-Disconnect Your Device from USB and wait for it to turn off
-Press and hold VolumeDOWN & the Power Button together until You see the TWRP Logo (or use the reboot recovery option)

Updated My Instructions since 2020 Xperia Devices have a seperated recovery partition against the boot image/ramdisk ones on the older Devices. That's a huge win for Android Devices! Happy flashing Dear MARK II Users!
This installs successfuly, but it's kind of useless with the storage encryption. I tried wiping, but after restarting the device it becomes encrypted again. You need to change the language every time too. Is there any way to keep the internal storage decrypted? like the disabler .zip for samsung devices?

Doesn't TWRP support decrypting? On my previous devices it wasn't a problem, I never had an urge to decrypt the device.

Different TWRPs support different features. To get this one to support decrypting it will have to be worked on by the dev.
Unfortunately the internal storage decryption is broken since the December security patch update (58.0.A.28.51)...

I recently got a 5 ii, currently on 58.0.A.10.3 and received 58 0.A.28.51 update notification. Should I not update if I want root?

You can still update if you want root via Magisk, but you will need to patch the boot img instead of flashing the Magisk zip in TWRP.
That would be soooo great to get TWRP or OrangeFox for Xperia 5 ii turning on Android 12!

Yeah I'm being serious, we have it in private testing currently
Can somebody please confirm both recoveries (twrp / orangefox) currently available for (x5ii / pdx206 / XQ-AS52) only work on android 11 or prior? I tried both and they bootloop.
