Installing a custom rom - Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers

Hello
First of all, i know its risky and i don't mind it, because the emui os is totally ****ty. So i was trying to install a custom rom, but i ended up in a big unknowness. Recently I installed a custom rom on a samsung device, but that doesnt compare. My version of the phone is ANE-LX1, having EMUI 9.1.0.392. From what i know i should get an unlock code from dc-unlocker (however i totally don't know how ) and then just type some commands and get to TWRP, but from what i read there are a lot of errors so if anyone is very kind and guides me i will be very happy.
Take care!

Dc-unlocker doesnt work on emui 9. You have to go back to emui 8 to use it. And if i recall corretly you can't use emui 8 dload packages while emui 9 is installed. You can however use hisuite to rollback to 8. Dc-unlocker doesn't work in the version hisuite puts you to. So you have to downgrade little more with dload packages. I unlocked mine in build .125 or something. Just follow any youtube video demonstrating dc-unlocker once you're back in one of the compatible versions. Dc-unlocker is not your only option btw. You can use a tool called potatonv to get your code. With dc-unlocker you mess with software but with potatonv you have to short some pins on your phones board. Software or hardware, choose your poison.

Ok i understand now. However it's not the unlock problem, but after the unlock i don't know how to flash to TWRP. Can you please tell me what to do?

And one more thing @Frax3r . I was planning to install Pixel Experience 11 plus from @-Alf- , and it requires emui 9. If i unlock the bootloader on emui 8 i can upgrade then to emui 9? Thank you

Yes,
- via System (OTA) update,
- via HiSuite & PC
- using dload method & Service ROM (aka full stock ROM).

Ok thank you very much. I'll keep you in touch if something happens.
Cheers

No problem

[Update] Miui 10 Global Beta 8.10.25

I don't know why I saw everywhere that, to update from 10.0.3.0 Global Stable to Beta 8.10.25, you could only do with unlocked BL (even using XiaoMiTool it says that).
This is because I can say that I was able to do the update, not via OTA (it fails with an error message explained below) or via EDL, but via other method with a locked BL, no root and no custom recovery. To clarify, I'm using a Global Version of the Mi 8, with the Chinese Version i'ts probably not possible but I'm not sure since I did not test it, but from what I read it's not safe.
So here's what I did:
I used Xiaomi ADB: ht tp://ww w.xiaomit ool.co m/adb (just aggregate to make a link, I can't post links yet), and just install and follow the steps on the site and you are good to go
In the process, the first time it logged an error on the console that already happened when I tried to update via OTA updater (something like "Your android version is different from the current one and bla bla bla...") but right in the next attempt was successfull (the attempts are done automatically). Also, nothing was erased during the process, all data was kept which is nice

although you have successfully do it., it was still a very risky move. If you brick the phone with bootloader locked, it will be very troublesome procedure afterwards. I do not encourage people to risk their phone. Just unlock your phone bootloader first. A month wait worth more then bricking your phone with locked bootloader>

I don't know why it's risky. As long as i have global version and flash an official mi ROM (with version equal or greater than what I have, even if it's beta version) I think I'm fine, why do you think it's risky?

If you bricked your phone with Locked BL , you may not be able to revive it thru flashing since it may not allow flashing other firmware or recovery like TWRP. Also, ARB may brick your phone if you flashed old version.
Tried. Didn't work for me

I flashed to a newer version ofc (even so because it's from Android 8.1 to 9) and you are always allowed to flash and official ROM, even if everything goes wrong, flash back to the Global stable. The tool also notifies and doesn't proceed to flash the ROM if all attempts are tried and unsuccessful.
With things like custom recoveries is where you brick your phones, cause people either don't download and official ROM or something goes wrong and with unlocked BL you're getting screwed...
Also to wait like 25 more days to unlock BL I was like damn it let's try this method and voilá

What version are you on? And are you global or chinese version?
Exactly the same of you. From Global 10.0.3 to Developer 8.10.25. My Mi 8 is official global version with locked bootloader (for now, i have to wait the last 10 days)

I have 30 days to wait because I already unlocked one device on my account. And same as you I can't flash by this method.

This was officially suspended for our device, but I'll post it anyway for those that want it.

I don't know. Maybe on the front camera it's better stabilized for photos but other than that I don't notice anything special. I use the Google Camera anyways (link for that: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_6.1.009_MI8_V1a.apk), it's much better, even more for low-light situations (although the latest version still has some bugs and missing some features that I hope will be addressed in the future)

I don't know then. Maybe if you try one more time. I don't think it will brick anyways because if the process fails, then the command line of the tool will say it can't do it and will not flash, at least afaic.
I will wait for a new ota then will immediately flash the beta?

Questions About Mate 10 and Android Pie

Before start i'd like to tell you about my adveture with my phone
I had a Huawei mate 10 ( ALP-L29 c185) installed 8.0.0.139, rooted with magisk and TWRP (By Pretoriano80) as recovery so yesterday i suddenly think that "i shuld try android 9" (i don't know why?) . I searched here and internet so finally i decided to update by "hurupdater" method. I downloaded stock firmware by "Firmware Finder for Huawei" app (9.0.0.177) and hurupdater 0.4 also twrp_bla_alp_0.7.img for twrp recovery. I put them in same folder on sdcard. Renamed recovery.img to keep recovery as twrp. Lastly i restarted recovery and installed hurupdater.zip.
DANG!!! My phone is bricked....... It gave a lot of errors during installation and when i try to reboot it was bootlooping, cant load recovery interface (twrp or stock). I could enter e-recovery but gives "getting package info failed" error. So ended up with bricked phone in my hands. I tried many ways including hisuite but nada....
Then i remembered "Funky Huawei", bought 1 credit and followed instructions. After long hellish hours (firmware downloading takes long) i have my phone back working with stock 8.0.0.140 rom, stock recovery even relocked bootloader also my whole data was intact. My curosity cost me 20 $ and hours. This morning i realised there is system update 9.0.0.159
So my questions o this point
1)What should i do now? Update to android pie (with stcock recovery of course)? Is it worth trying or just install twrp and root my current rom and go on my way for a while longer ? (till a more stable pie relase)
2) For the future, what was wrong in my update process. I'd never want to make same mistake again..
Thanks...

I have exactly same phone (c185) never tried unlocking bootloader but I updated to emui 9 159 there are some buggy things like when you want to use third party lunchers You can't use gesture navigation and it has so many bugs so not using gesture is better
there are again some problems with third party launchers (im using nova) like sometimes when you go to "resents" its totally blank and you have to force stop "huawei home" to make it right
there are some good changes in camera like new 960 fps slow motion (but there is a huge crop in 240fps 720p and 960fps 720p I can't remember that 240fps had that crop or not) Turning off master ai and some new scene detection but it's slower than last one
there is a new performance mode that i love using it (it feels like a real flagship however it's not because of stupid SOC)
there is a new AI api that android 8 didn't have so most of apps wasn't able to use NPU
in emui 8 there is a little bit better battery
I love changes to my phone so I preferred buggy new firmware to old ones there are so many good little changes in interface (like when you take a picture you can go to gallery then scan it for QR code)
There is a way better Mira cast functionality (and new desktop mode in it)
hi touch, hi vision
These were all expensives I had with emui 9 that I can think of
How did you update @arianamirgholami ?
Meanwhile, I have the same phone but am still on Android Oreo......I have the ALP-L29 8.0.0.141(C185) model. I'm reading more and more about others with this model that have gotten the Android Pie upgrade over the last two months but the upgrade is still not available to me. Makes no sense...I have a stock rom on the phone, I am NOT rooted and my bootloader is locked. Neither hisuite, hicare, system update, nor firmware finder methods gets me anywhere. They all say that I'm on the most recent firmware.... 8.0.0.141(C185). Go figure....

Same here, although my brother and I have the same device (ALP-L29C185) and we're on the same career, he got the pie update like a month ago and nothing for me yet. I think it's a matter of time until our imeis turns.

Yes I saw many people on internet facing same issue, What I assume is that when you purchased the phone it came with 8.0.0.141, that's why its not getting the Pie. Because the phones which were using 8.0.0.140 already got the Pie instead of 8.0.0.141. So one thing you can try is to go back to 8.0.0.140 and then update the phone. I did the same, Installed 8.0.0.140 using HiSuite and then update to Pie.

Can't downgrade from EMUI 9

Hi everyone,
When EMUI 9 was first released on Firmware Finder, I've updated my phone with HuRupdate, since then, my phone model has changed from STF-L09C432 to
STF-LGRP2-OVS, since then, I'm stuck with the build 9.0.1.157, even though I've tried many time to flash another update or go back to EMUI 8 but I never managed to do it. I've tried with official recoveries, dload folder and it always failed, I've also tried flashing with TWRP, ADB, HWOTA or even MultiTool 8, but it never changed. Last time I tried flashing Kernel I've got an error saying that the file doesn't match the size or the path of the Partition. Have I done something wrong? Will I ever be Able to go back to EMUI 8? And If I ever manage to do it, Will I be able to receive official updates? I've seen that EMUI 9.1 was released as I saw a Honor 9 Lite with it and I want to upgrade to it as soon as possible
I'd be thankful if anyone can answer one of these questions!
I have Honor 9 STF-Al 10, with the System Emui 9.0.1.179
Due to some bugs, i intend to downgrade to Oreo.
it is said the phone will be hard brick by the method of HuRupdater.
the only way to downgrade to Oreo from Emui9 is Hisuite.
I heard about the HiSuite method, but when I go in the update menu it only tells me that i'm using the latest official version (which is wrong), and it doesn't show me any "switch to other version" button to downgrade the phone

should use the proper Hisuite version on PC (mine is 9.0.2.301)
there is an option to switch to Oreo
I'm using the same one, is it written somewhere which version is the right one or do I have to try and retry each version?

you mean that your Hisuite is 9.0.2.301,

Exactly!
Not sure about If I should edit or double post but I thought that it also might be because my phone is Unlocked?
Wow I got exactly the same issue! Also STF-LGRP2-OVS but 162. No chance to downgrade!
I would be also fine with flashing a "normal" L09C432 version of EMUI but don't know how to..
Maybe if someone can post a TWRP Backup of EMUI 8.0 with no user data it could work since we can still have access to TWRP

Firstly I'm gonna try to go back to a normal version, not this OVS crap. Maybe if you go to a normal STF-L09 Rom, Hisuite is offering you a rollback?
I don't even know how to do that to be honest. Shouldn't it be possible just with fastboot and a FF rom?

You tried to flash the EMUI 8 rom directly, right? I would firstly flash a "regular" (no OVS) EMUI 9 Rom and then try to roll back with HiSuite. I'm probably gonna end up with flashing the regular EMUI 9, lock the Bootloader and sell that crappy phone to get a flashfriendly Xiaomi

Be super careful downgrading to oreo because android P has rollback protection. I would recommend contacting HiCare and asking them to put you on EMUI 9.1. Although it's not a downgrade you might recieve and upgrade via OTA

use a dload meant for C432 with a build version superior of the one you actually are.

[Emui 10] Bootloader unlock not possible

Hello everyone!
I spent the last few days trying to flash a stock emui 9 or 9.1 version to my Mate20Pro (C432) because my carrier notified me, that the emui 10 update is officially available.
I was finally able to go to version . 347 by following this guide: click
A few hours later I was offered the emui 10 update and it installed well.
The exact build nr is now: 10.0.0.154(C432E7R1P5patch01)
Only thing left: Root access.
And here's where the problems start:
The Bootloader was relocked somewhere down the road (the update to .347 probably). Now, I've had this issue before, jumping back and forth between ROMs, but was always able to re-unlock my bootloader with my code I got from funkyhuawei (back in the days).
Now when I try to unlock it now, following this procedure:
- turn usb debugging on
- confirm to always trust my computer
- open console - adb devices: I see my device.
- adb reboot bootloader: reboots the phone gracefully
- reached fastboot mode - bootloader lock confirmed. frp locked: no
- in terminal: fastboot devices: check
- fastboot oem unlock xxxxx
--> here i get following output:
Failed. Invalid command.
Has anyone also had this issue? is this some kind of security mechanism (did they change the unlock code?) Or did they chamge the fastboot command set?
What I've checked so far:
- usb drivers are installed (reinstalled them even)
- hisuite is installed (also tried it with uninstalling first)
- terminal is running as admin
- tried different usb cables
- googling
I would really appreciate all thoughts, ideas or experiences with this issue.
Thanks in advance!
On EMUI10 (at least early builds), it's normal behavior.
It's seem that oem unlock's fastboot command was made invalid or was modified...
It's told rolling back to emui9 B346 or B347 will open bootloader back or at least will enable back fastboot and old oem unlock commands.
Does magisk creator @topjohnwu achieved something related to emui10 ?

Were you able to unlock bootloader or downgrade to 9.1 with locked bootloader or fix this issue by any means?
You can rollback to 9.1 using stock hisuite.
If rollback prompt is not shown, you can trigger it with 'Hisuite launcher' from Magnot.

If rollback prompt is not shown, you can trigger it with 'Hisuite launcher' from Magnot.

Rollback link is shown from Hisuite 's update option, not from Hisuite' s recovery option.
thank you for the heads up about rooting and emui 10, i have been tempted to try it for myself but had to much to do at home and at work, but i will wait a bit more.
also: dload version will always lock the bootloader
I was able to install CUST and PRELOAD for lya-l09 emui 10 using dload method and it fixed the issue. Thank you.
Check oem option in developer settings.It must be enabled

I have funkyhuawei account but still that was unable fix the issue. So what i did was:
I choose 365 ver in funkyhuawei website and tried flashing it using modded hisuite. When it downloaded the firmware i replaced the 365 firmware files like CUST AND PRELOAD with EMUI 10 version, it failed at the beginning. I keep on retrying multiple times and final it flashed CUST and PRELOAD and my system booted with EMUI 10 .

Do you have the link or if you could upload please the modded hisuite? Appreciate it.
EDIT
So in the dload folder, you used the main update zip from the 9.1 (365) and the custom and preload zips from emui 10? Thanks. (asking also since you say you booted in emui 10 even though from what you have described you seem to have had the main update zip in 9.1...or was it the other way around?)
(I tried-though on mate 20x and the software installation failed-restart-so is that what you tried many times? (in the erecovery update through card/otg option?)
Highly appreciate your clarification here (might just help me get out of this emui10 mess)

Modded hisuite only work, if you have funkyhuawei account and required credits for that account.
Yes, thats correct i used main update.zip is from 9.1 and custom and preload are from emui 10.
Currently your mobile already have emui 10(update.zip). But when mobile boots it goes through custom and preload and then it loads Operating System(emui 10).
In order to fix it . You need to load custom and preload for supporting emui 10.
If you have a regular hisuite, try erecovery mode.
Hisuite will download a package(update.zip, custom.zip and preload.zip) in documents folders if you are using Windows system. Once it downloads them, it will unzip those files and then it starts flashing customs, preload and then update(in this order). You need to figure out a way, to replace custom and preload folder with emui 10 files before Hisuite start flashing them.
so, since bootloader unlock is not longer possible with emui 10 i will give the phone to one of my kids so it will be a youtube interface, myself ordered a s20+ and hopefully samsung will treat me right.

[Q] Help performing downgrade from 9.1 to 9.0

Hi guys,
I been trying some GSI roms lately and unfortunately I can't get the fingerprint to work on any of them... if any of you guys can source me the fingerprint line value inside BUILD.PROP would be a good help for me but the thing is I don't have much hope that it will work so I want to downgrade to 9.0 and then to 8.0. Via HiSuite the 'older version' doesn't show up, via dload the 'software failed' pops up... but via HRupdater in TWRP I have one update.zip that might lock the bootloader, it can really lock my bootloader?
