Hi there.. I have tried to update my Mate 10 many times, mostly unsuccessfully. I had bought it in Turkey, and many of the ROMs I tried failed to boot - it would enter a boot loop, or get stuck at the logo, etc.
With trial and error I found this ROM: ALP-LGRP2-OVS-9.0.0.47(SP10log)
It worked fine and I stayed with it. However it is getting pretty dated now, so I would like to try it again..
I do not understand why many of the newer ROMs for my ALP-L09 fail to work on my phone, despite me flashing SYSTEM, KERNEL and the two recovery partitions.
What do you suggest I do? The machine is rooted of course, and "check for updates" option of the phone fails to find any updates..
I am very familiar with downloading the firmware, extracting partition images from it, and fastboot flashes.
Many thanks, -turgut

Hi guys. This is the first time I've asked for help here. I have been flashing custom roms for several years now, and go figure, the one device I would be unable to recover is my own beloved Galaxy Tab S .
WiFi 16gb SM-T700.
I have flashed this dozens of times since in the last three years, this issue is TOUGH.
Here is what happened.
Tried to gain root with Kingroot ( First time trying that one. :/ )
Then i pushed TWRP 3.1.* through Odin
Flashed AICP 7.1.2 / GAPPS
Success
Booted the tablet. Play Store worked. Everything worked. I had root. I downloaded a few of my favorite apps and then restarted into recovery to make a backup.
TWRP was asking me something it never did before, something installing the Official App,..I swiped??
Anyways, I never got the backup. Here is where I'm stuck.
When I turn the tablet on, it says "Can't do normal boot, Kernal Length" and shuts off when I let go. I cannot boot into recovery from any method. The OS will not load. I have access to download mode, but absolutely nothing will go through in Odin. I have tried 6 or 7 different versions of Odin/ both with the single AP file and all four separate (BL, AP, CSC, blah) I have tried repairing the bootloader, reinstalling a recovery, new roms, PIT files, nothing at all will PASS in odin. Samsung Kies won't see the device in DL mode. I even donated to the UNIFIED Android Toolkit, which did Sh**. The PRO version. I have spent at least two entire days worth of time and this is beyond me. PLEASE HELP ME!! I can't get it. I paid a pretty penny for this the day it came out, and it doesn't have a scratch on it and I love and care for my devices and respect the software and the dedicated work I see all of you put into this community which makes it easy for people like me. Thank You.
Odin acknowledges it, and I have download mode, and i'm out of ideas.
Does anybody have a good one I can try?
(I'm wrong, I can't help)
Hi all, attempted to root my phone today following this guide.
I got right up to step 9 but upon trying to reboot and launch from TWRP I began to have trouble. I've been able to access TWRP once, but after confirming install of SuperSU (step 11 here, my phone booted to the LG splash and I got the boot loop saying 'Your phone is unsecure, bootloader is unlocked' or words to that effect. Orange ! triangle.
I can launch to fastboot, or download mode. Turning on to a factory reset sends me back to a boot loop after confirming I would like to reset (leading me to believe I've not got a stock ROM in there at all).
Now when I try to flash any version of TWRP from command prompt in my ADB folder, I'm told my phone is corrupt and it won't allow me to flash.
Alternatively, trying to flash a stock ROM doesn't work either. LGUP does not recognise my model, it only shows COM Ports: [COM4, H85020s]. I've also tried using UPPERCUT but I get the following error: "Error reading from file: C:\Users\...\Roaming\Temp\F9FB5BD\TempFolder\UPPERCUT.exe. Verify the file exists and that you can access it." I've attempted running UPPERCUT from various locations, extracted.
I'm on Windows 10 and I've been trying desperately for the last 12 hours crawling through this site/ other articles for some kind of solution to give my phone SOME kind of functionality. Ultimate goal was LineageOS but now I'd be more than happy getting back to stock. I'd really appreciate any help, hope I've given enough information.
Hi all, I am stuck.
I got my Mate 10 Pro (BLA-L29) and wanted to install LinageOS 15. I followed the guide here, rooting and everything went fine. I installed LinageOS 15, the most current build then, via fastboot flash system systemXXX.img. The process went well, the phone rebooted. But since then its stuck in eRecovery Mode. It offered me the "factory wipe" option on the first time, since then I get the options of Rescue (which times out or can't find the files), Shutdown and reboot. It also shows a "this device is not to be trusted" splashscreen during boot, including a link that leads to a 404 on the EMUI-OS-Site. Sorry if that has been asked already i did not find much regarding eRecovery.
I managed to install TWRP, but strangely it still boots into eRecovery. I can force it to boot into TWRP, but it simply will not switch away from eRecovery.
So, what are my options?
1) wait and see, try new versions of LinageOS.
2) use the firmware finder to get the original firmware (any pointers about which one? I'd go for the earliest 8.0 for the BLA-L29?) But how can I get it to the phone since its not an image and the phone does not have a SD-Card? Can I mount it via USB?
3) Get rid of eRecovery or force a switch to TWRP - is that doable?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did a lot of custom firmware back when I had the first Desire, but since then I used Blackberry or other, non-rooted devices. I want my control over my OS back.
Thank you in advance, let me know if you need any more information.
Ok, if anyone else needs help:
This helped me, I got back to the Mate 10 Pro Stock ROM

Important: after flashing, you need to remove the USB-cable, otherwise it will just boot into recovery
Hi all,
I've long since stopped messing with custom ROMs as software has, largely, been quite good from the get-go on newer devices.
I tried playing around with my Honor 9 a few days back and I've managed to royally screw it up it seems - help is required
Here's where I am right now:
When I boot the phone I get a "Google" splash screen followed by the warning that my device is unlocked.
It then loops around again, shows the same splash screen and warning, but dumps me into eRecovery
I've tried flashing numerous TWRP images via bootlader/fastboot, but cannot ENTER any of them
I've tried flashing a number of Custom ROMs using the bootloader/fastboot, but again, I end up in the same position, dumped into eRecovery.
What am I missing here? I've tried stock kernels and custom ones, stock firmware and custom firmware, as well as TWRP. All to no avail currently.
I've long since left my fiddling days behind and as such I'm struggling here. The only good news is I can get into fastboot at will (bootloader unlocked and FRP unlock)
Any ideas? Please be kind
So, after writing this and 3 hours of fiddling myself, I finally managed to get into a custom recovery and used the HuUpdater to get back to a stock image (I think, just setting it up now).
Please delete
Firstly, let me quickly outline what I have done.
Unlocked bootloader
Installed TWRP
Installed a ROM. I wasn't happy with it. It was rooted which of course my banking app didn't like. hideSU didn't work, I couldn't remove root so I tried another ROM.
Once installed I reboot and I have stuck in this loop ever since. I cannot get into TWRP. I've gone into fastboot mode multiple times and tried over and over to install TWRP and reboot into it but nothing.
Worse still is the erecovery option to download latest version over wifi just doesn't work, "Getting package info failed".
Another "useful" Huawei feature if the ability to hold vol up and down to auto install a firmware image. Not helpful when I have no ability to put any files on the device in these modes.
Finally, I have no idea what exact version of firmware I need to download. All I know it is a P20 lite and I bought it from the UK.
Can anyone help? I'm literally staring at this brick stuck in eRecovery.
your try to use hwOTA8, this installs 100% all the firmware (I had the same problem as yours).
nm
Never knew that existed so thanks.
I thought I was finally on the right track but it seems my phone is different from every other one.
I used HWOTA8 and it wants to install TWRP right away. I followed the video instructions and mimicked his movements exactly and when his reboots into TWRP mine does not.
UGH
