Desperate help needed to go back to stock (Mate 10 Pro EMUI 8 TWRP & MAGISK) BLA-L09
Hello there. I'm used to Samsung devices and the more I read about Huawei devices the more lost I feel about them.
So, my Mate 10 pro BLA-L09 is currently running Build Number 8.0.0.131(C782). It is rooted with Pretoriano's TWRP and Magisk (Using the All-In-One tool). Of course, I can't get any pending update installed. I would like to receive that EMUI 9 update. I've read people have been successful using HuRupdater and some others ended up with a hard bricked device. Some other people suggest the safest option is to uninstall Magisk, flash stock recovery and let the phone update itself.
So far, I've downloaded the same full 8.0.0.131(C782) firmware I'm on from Firmware Finder and downloaded Huawei Update extractor to extract the recovery from UPDATE.APP. However, instead of having one recovery file to extract, there are 3 Recoveries (named: RECOVERY_RAMDIS, RECOVERY_VBMETA, RECOVERY_VENDOR) and another 4 E-Recoveries.
Can anyone please give me some step by step guidance on what to do? I'll Paypal you a beer if I'm successful with the help.
Cheers!
May be you can simply dload the firmware and then it should be full stock if dload works. Dload guide is given in my signature

Thanks! But I think dload won't work with custom recovery, right? I'm on TWRP. And getting stock recovery is just what I'm trying to achieve.

Dload replaces your twrp and custom boot both. It will bring back your phone to full stock. Else you could extract the images from your firmware and then flash. Let me give you the commands.
Thanks! I just fixed my issue by flashing this through TWRP: it Installs the Oreo stock recovery.
The procedure was:
-Booted into TWRP
-Uninstalled Magisk (by flashing Magisk Uninstall Zip)
-Flashed the stock recovery (from the link below) through TWRP
-Reboot
-Check for system updates, phone will install them with no problems
Phone will be unrooted and will have stock recovery. Don't know if this will work for every stock build, it worked with mine 8.0.0.131(C782).

I was getting the command ready for you. Glad you fixed it yourself
[*]Run the command to boot to fastboot
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
[*]On fastboot screen, you will have bootloader state as Unlocked and FRP Unlocked.
[*]Flash the stock Recovery Ramdisk as
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk <Recovery_File_Name>.img
[*]If you have installed magisk, flash the stock boot ramdisk.img as
Code:
fastboot flash ramdisk <ramdisk_File_Name>

Hi guys,
yesterday I succesfully unlocked bootloader on my Mate 10 PRO (Bla-L09) and installed LineageOS 15.1 with success.
The problem is that now I just want to recover my stock firmware on it.
I downloaded the update.zip from the site (for my branded phone) and it was C55 version but I don't know how to repair it. Just tried to reflash stock recovery and start recovery mode but with no success. Installation hang on 5% and then phone reboots automatically.
Already tried to flash SYSTEM.img (from Huawei Update Extractor) with fastboot: it flashes correctly but im impossible to boot the devices.
I am sure that I do something wrong. Can you help me please?
Hi,
Where have you found original stock rom. It is my impression that it is not available. Could you please provide a link?
Thanks

After flashing back stock system.img you need to Factory Reset in stock recovery. Alternatively use HWOTA: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/guide-mate-10-flash-oreo-update-package-t3716814
Always make a Twrp backup of your rom so you don't have to worry about flashing back like this.Thats what I do and I have never had a issue.
This may be known to many but there are many users who were struggling with this.
Hello Folks,
Was getting few requests on XDA, Telegram and Facebook for this. As title says, there were few users reporting OTA failures while they were rooted with Magisk. Yes, that's obvious, it will fail as you have modified the boot.img (ramdisk) and stock recovery (Recovery_ramdisk.img) while rooting and installing TWRP.
Please follow below steps to update via OTA if you were rooted or using magisk.
Uninstall busybox binaries and Xposed framework (if you are using by any chance)
Uninstall Magisk (inside the app or by flashing the magisk uninstaller via TWRP)
Download update.app of your current firmware and extract stock recovery and boot file via Huawei extractor
Flash stock recovery of your actual variant as fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery.img
Flash stock boot as fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img
Boot to system.
Perform OTA update and reboot.
Root your phone again if you want.
Enjoy.
You could just :
1.patch the new ramdisk's update via magiskmanager then,
2.update via HuRUpdater without removing your root before,
3.then reboot straight to fastboot, and flash your new patched ramdisk
4.reboot to your rooted updated firmware with magisk module still working and root mods still applyied.
PS: I don't know about xposed frameworks

Do we need to keep "Enable OEM Unlock" checked or unchecked in developer settings?

Hi all.
I have Honor 9 (STF-L09), I successfully rooted it right when I got it (TWRP + Magisk), even manged to flash stock recovery a few times to get OTAs and re-root again (all updates were EMUI 8.x and Android 8).
Now after performing the latest update, I'm on EMUI 9.1.0, Android 9, Build 9.1.0.210(C432....).
I can't find Pie compatible TWRP. I tried patching the stock recovery (with Magisk) and flash it using fastboot (as always) but Magisk will not install.
I had, the first time I rooted the device) decrypted it. I have no idea if the update re-encrypted the phone.
1. How can I know if the phone is still decrypted? if it isn't how do I decrypt?
2. What is the easiest way to root the Android 9 version?
Thank you

On 9.x pie boot partitioning changed. There is no more ramdisk, and magisk boot is done by booting a patched recovery of your actual installed build (recovery_ramdisk).
Use splitupdate or Huawei Update Extractor to get it from UPDATE.APP inside base.zip of your actual installed build.

Does 8.x twrp shows via adb random filenames in internal memory path : /sdcard/ ?

No, but I no longer have TWRP after the last OTA in order to check.
I think I saw some TWRP for EMUI9 but not for Honor 9.

Tried it, but Magisk Manager says it is not installed.
I got it to work.
My mistake was after flashing the patched recovery_ramdisk I pressed up+power to get to recovery (as the instruction stated), but I had to release the button the second the Honor logo appeared, and so the phone booted via Magisk.
I saw this in the instruction on the other site.
It works. Thanks
So I currently have USA Hawaii mate 10 pro on 9.0.0264 BL unlocked and magisk patched ramdisk and I keep getting notification to install the .267 update but it will not install due to the patched ramdisk so I just want to flash back to stock, I have downloaded the full ota through Hawaii hisuite application and its in zip format, so how do i flash this zip to go back to stock, thank you.

You don't have to flash the whole update, just extract the recovery_ramdisk from 9.0.0.264 firmware (use Huawei Extractor to do that) and flash it with fastboot.
Another way to get the stock recovery it's to use Partitions Backup by Wanam (from Playstore), in its options enable the "raw partition image" and backup "erecovery_ramdisk".
Copy the backup on PC and flash it with this fastboot command :
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk erecovery_ramdisk.img
Note: replace "erecovery_ramdisk.img" with the filename of the image that you backed up previously.
After flashing the stock recovery_ramdisk, you can install the official OTA.
I am confused, there is recovery_ramdis and erecovery_ramdisk and which one is it.
Update- i just flashed recovery_ramdis and then system from ota and i am updated now. Thank you.
Hello, I updated to Q and can't get it rooted.
It bootlooped.
How can I root Android Q?
visit: h t t p s : / / twrp.me/site/update/2019/10/23/twrp-and-android-10.html
As, if now you cannot. For Android Q, it's still in research.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Never tried but: ClockworkMod Recovery – a past alternative to TWRP custom recovery.
h t t p s : / / en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ClockworkMod#ClockworkMod_Recovery
Research over it & let me know if anything worked for you-!
I successfully roote Q with this ?

I would recommend you flashing custom firmware, like the one in my signature. Everything is working, including Security Folder.

Which TWRP version you used and how did you install TWRP on a non-rooted phone? Do you not have to use Magisk to root the phone first?

I just used the 3.3.1.1 from the TWRP site.
Flash TWRP is to root, so I did it b4 root.
1. OEM unlock
2. Flash TWRP with odin then boot to TWRP, samsung will restore if u normal boot.
3. Backup EFS
4. Format data wipe all
5. Dm verity, search newest from dr ketan
6. Flash custom ROM.
Magisk usually comes with the custom ROM.

This isn't true I flashed Twrp 3.5.091 via Odin, S9+ exynos android 10, then flashed Magisk 21.4.
When I got phone it was android 10 June 2020 security update. It then updated again to 21/02/2021 ota.. I was able to flash recovery twrp and root/debloat. Only problem I did find is that I cannot flash lineage 18.1 or any custom roms.

hey ,
1.install magisk manager on your phone
2.download the firmware from samfirmware for your model of phone to pc
3.download 7zip with lz4
4. use 7zip lz4 to extract boot img from AP(firmware)
5. send the xtracted boot.img to phone sdcard and use magisk manager to patch said image .
6. send the patched img to pc and use 7zip to create archive as boot.tar file
7. one you install the firmware as normal via odin (disable auto reboot ) go back and disconnect/reconnect usb from phone so it appears as added in odin once more.
8. add the boot.tar file to AP in odin and flash the phone , reboot system and install magisk manager again , go into magisk and it will reboot again to fix the root.
there is a video somwhere on youtube showing you better than ive tried to here.
this is by far he best way as you can still take ota updates because stock recovery is still present .
regards
