Bootloader unlocked, how to update to Android 9? - Huawei Mate 10 Questions & Answers

I unlocked my bootloader, but I can't seem to find a guide on updating to Android 9. My current firmware has xloader 02.
When I bought it a year ago, you could update it without issues with hwota, but from what I see, that is now disabled. Is there a current program or guide that simplifies changing the firmware to an updated one?

Use the tool from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/firmware-bla-l29-c432-9-0-0-161-t3873835
If you don't yet have root, you can use the EMUI9 beta update tool.
Else you will have to install Magisk first.

You could rebrand before flashing Pie. Don't rebrand while going to Pie, it's usually a bad idea.

Does it wipe the whole system when flashing pie from oreo or does it keep the settings?.

They are kept.
If you downgrade using rollback they will wipe though (and only use rollback from January or later if you ever need to downgrade)

[H850] Rooted, TWRP v10 to Nougat, how to do it?

Hi,
It should be simple, but I'm confused what to do and which version to install... I have EU, not branded H850 v10e. Rooted with TWRP so official update by Bridge or OTA isn't an option. I wanna move to Nougat, but how? I can't find any Nougat zip to use in TWRP, so I figure only option is to use LGUP. But what version should I install? All I can see are branded versions...
Could someone help me and provide a simplest and safest method to move to Nougat?
Also, TWRP and root isn't problematic in N, same procedure as on MM?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

You could try using TWRP to flash autoprime's zips from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/stock-h850-20a-eu-rom-flashable-zips-t3506514 and follow the OP instructions for rooting. You could also use LGUP to flash H85020a_00_OPEN_EU_OP_1030.kdz that autoprime has also posted at the link above. Just make sure you have the Nougat TWPR installed: twrp-3.0.2-1-h850.img, which can be found here https://dl.twrp.me/h850/
Thanks! For some reason I couldn't find this flashable N zip.... But on the weekend I already switch to N with LGUP

How to root ALP-L29 8.0.0.138 C636patch01?

Hi there,
Now that Magisk won't install on ALP-L29 8.0.0.138 C636patch01 (july 1st security patch), is there a way to root with this firmware and especially this security patch?
Regards,
Does anyone know how to root this firmware version? Been scouring the web all week with no information
You should be able to downgrade to B138 using eRecovery, this would remove Patch01.

No, unlock is not needed for eRecovery.
However, if you rebranded eRecovery will usually fail to get package.

No way to do it.
Only way you could try is dload to B138, BUT I'm not certain what happens if you're now on 02 xloader.

but i read in some places and someone confirm 8.0.0.138 01patch is 01xloader, but i think or maybe the problem is from the newer security patch 1 july 2018. Funky huwaei support team told me that they can't read bootloader or rebrand also said erecovery will not working after debrand since 01 july newer security patch.
the problem too is i went to teammt.ru site for downloading 8.0.0.138 full rom but it's not available to download. maybe FF working not tried, but anyway i think i have to live with this, until huawei open unlock bootloader service again.

Pie upate

I was able to download the huawei pie full update zip and data from FF and how do i flash it using fstboot, do i just flash the system or do i have to flash all the partitions within the update.app as its changing to pie from oreo and what are the commands to flsh the partitions, nit sure if it will flash as it is still unapproved and bootloader might deny flashing it i am not sure, any ideas.
I was able to install the ff firmware using beta flashy 0.2 tool and all is well.

Did it wipe all your data?. Hopefully not.
I got the official update on my mate 10 pro
The version is 9.0.0.159
The downside is the camera app seems unstable, and crashes every so often..

Sorry to revive such an old post but wanted to ask you how you used the flashy tool. Did you drop the 2 pie files into the "zips here" folder? Did you need to unzip the pie update files? Another post mentioned unzipping but maybe that was because it was a p20. Did you use the beta pie files or actual non beta files? Has it been able to get normal updates ota since then? Thank you

Most efficient way to update to pie?

Hi guys,
My v30 H930 (europe) is still on Android Oreo V22j. Now with the upcoming release of the less buggy version of Android Pie (v30q), I probably want to upgrade
I have TWRP installed and I have Magisk root (19.3).
What's the easiest way to upgrade to Pie (keep root ofc) and can I keep my data or do I have to wipe and set up as a new device?
Flash KDZ in LGUP as upgrade and reflash twrp/magisk?

Easiest is to wait for Pie zip and flash it.
It's a good idea to backup internal storage whenever you do a major upgrade.
All other stuff is answered in detail on ChazzMatt's pie kdz thread
Just go to leaked V30q thread and read ? not that difficult

Those links are still to beta version. People may update that way with their phones if they wish -- and thank you for providing that option -- but anyone should understand that's still technically beta.
When it's official, it will be released as full image KDZ and dev created TWRP flashable zips based on that full image KDZ will both be posted in the EU H930 KDZ thread.

Some people have, yes.
Dev doesn't recommend it. If it doesn't work, then you would need to wipe. See the TWRP flashable zip installation instructions.

I know its beta until officially released; just don't get the prejudice around it. It's way more stable than the official V30b kdz btw.
In OP's scenario it's even easier to use V30q, since he is already rooted. Just restoring the TWRP backup provided and re-rooting would do the job, with no need to wipe data.

ANE-LX2 on EMUI-Android 8.0.0 to Android 10

How can I update a Huawei P20 Lite (ANE-LX2) with 8.0.0.120 to any version of Android 10? Or, at least, 9.1 official. When trying to update officially with system menu it does not offer me any update. I have bootloader unlocked and is rooted, but apparently the Android 9-10 ROMs require EMUI 9 and I have EMUI 8. What can I do? I've been exploring forums for hours and I can't find something clear. I need to update EMUI version and Android version separately?

Unfortunately, there's no EMUI 9.1 Service ROM on androidhost.ru for region C636.
Try to update via HiSuite or via eRecovery .
(make sure to have the stock recovery flash)
I don't mind changing the region. In fact, I would prefer change it to EU. I can?
Hisuite and erecovery doesn't offer updates

And what about HiCare ?
Now I am on 9.1 with an official european OTA, have changed region from spceas to eu with dc-unlocker (this cost to me 2 credits), and with root. It took me a long time to get it, so I'm scared to upgrade to android 10 and lost my root. Any suggestion?

It depends on:
1. the type of root
2. whether you have Bootloader unlock code (it is not recommended to play with custom ROMs without BL unlock code).
In any case, you can install the following types of custom ROMs:
A) xxxxx-arm64-bgS(or bvS) with built-in SU (sometimes with SuperUser) ,then you need only install phh-superuser.apk to get root permissions
B) xxxxx-arm64-bgZ/bvZ with built-in enhanced dynamic root (you can enable/disable superuser root in phone settings)
I've bootloader unlocked. Type of root... I suppose magisk root. What is xxxxx-arm64-bg* ? This is a ROM? I can't find this

it is clear to me , but I asked about the unlocker key . In other words, can you unlock the BL again if necessary?

Yes, I can unlock BL again. Thanks, I will search. But now I have a new problem... on an asian P20 Lite (spcseas) g-sensors doesn't work if I install any EU ROM
If anybody knows what is the password of this file, I would be grateful:
ANE-LX2 9.1.0.209(C636E4R1P5T8) Full Stock ministryofsolutions.com
(Not "ministryofsolutions.com", as usual)
This is the only asian 9.1 firmware available without pay
¡Finally! I find an 9.1 asian firmware on an Turkey forum, previous registration. Installed via dload without problems, and g-sensors works. Now I will try to root...
