Hi everyone,
I have a rooted Honor 9 with TWRP recovery and EMUI v 5.1 with Android 7.0.
It's possible update EMUI to 9.1 with Android 9.0?
Thanks in advance.
That's a big jump, are you sure your device can take it? Updating your device doesn't mean it's better, and I really think it will only get slower with that update.
That being said, yes you can, but you'll lose root. So if you have any root related apps or modules, it's better to back them up before updating.
Or you can download the ROM, patch it with magisk, then flash it manually.
Hi, thanks for your response.
I'm thinking to upgrade because I'm having, from some days, problems with this phone.
In particular I'm having problems with quickly access to my internet banking app that works fine until a few days ago. Also with anothers app that have problems with login.
It seems that not save login operation, in fact if I do login, when I reopen app I've to do re-login.
Problems that I never had in this years.
Sorry for my not perfect English, but I'm a italian user
Also I can try to re-flash same ROM without lose app and data? Or I must do a full backup with Titanium then restore apps data and personal data?

Those issues are common on rooted phones, try using root hiding apps or modules, usually they fix it. So updating it won't fix it.
However to answer your question, yes you can flash same ROM without data loss, but you have to do full nandroid backup or titanium backup then restore it.
If you still insist to flash another ROM I recommend flashing a stable custom ROM specific for your device, that way it won't slow your device down as official one would.
Goodluck.
Thanks for your response.
Have you some advices for me? Some specific tutorial/ROM/TWRP to use?
What you think about the idea that it's the moment to purchase a new phone, considering I want root?

Honestly I hate Honor and all Huawei phones for a lot of different reasons. So if you ask me, yes, I 100% recommend getting a new phone.
But practically speaking, you can't just wake up one day and say "Yeah, I'm getting a new phone", as such if you just want root, stick with your phone, yes it has issues. But you can definitely fix them without getting new phone or updating your Android.
As for guides and tutorials there are plenty on the internet and on the forums, do some research by yourself, that way you'll understand more. They're a bit old - Like 2016 kind of old - since development for Huawei died long ago, but they still work.
Have you to suggest me a phone that is relatively easy to unlock and have root permissions?
I'm also searching for stock ROM with Android 9 for my Honor but I not found it.

I'd recommend Samsung Galaxy series, they're extremely easy to use and flash. But Xiaomi is a good contender as well, a bit harder to work on tho. Or you can get Google Pixel (Never from Verizon).
As for the ROM, sorry mate can't help ya with that. You'll have to search for it if you really want it.

Hello everyone,
so i registered yesterday in this forum, know it for a while now but was never useful to me because the "coolest stuff" to do on my LG always was needed to root it and i was (and still am) a bit afraid of doing it, since i dont understand nothing about it but i heard it can mess up your phone. So i thought of posting something here.
So i have a LG P500 and yesterday i updated the firmware or software (dont know how to call it). Now i have the official Gingerbread udpate. I was a bit disappointed as i always wanted to have that locking animation that nexus S has.
Yes, i know you might tell me to use the search button but i looked for something similar and someone said something about rooting the phone to use the CM7.
So what i wanted to know is. What are the pros and cons with rooting. Do i need to "instal" CM7 or something like that to have that lock animation even having the 2.3.3 official update? Do you advice me to root my phone even though i bought it a few months ago?(like march or something)
Im sorry if i should searched a bit more but i think its better to just talk directly with people who understand this phone stuff better then i.
Thank you in advance!
Ps: Im portuguese and i know there are a few portuguese members here, if any of them could help me with this i would appreciate!
I myself upgraded to the LG 2.3 gingerbread firmware v20b
and it sucks to the core
i downgraded to froyo v10e the very next day itself
the pro's of rooting is that
you get access to the core android files
and use your phone to the max
(example overclock, customized ROM's,hardware acceleration etc)
in short you get a much better phone and no lg crap bloatware etc
the con's are
if rooting doesn't go properly you'll end up with a bricked phone
and your warranty will be void
my suggestion is
if your not so much into your cell
i mean you dont use it a lot for 3D gaming and other hi resource using applications
and just need for messaging,music,net
then dont root
else root
and enjoy your phone

im sure there are applications
or some launcher which will have what your looking for
Just do it.
I rooted it 3 days after I bought it.
But be careful while doing so, there are chances of bricking your phone.and yes, warranty will be void. But you can, anytime,go back to stock firmware just in case if you want your warranty.

Rooting & link to howto (mostly for my own reference)
Hi,
For me the main advantage of rooting is that you can use a custom recovery (= do nandroid backups) and that you can install different kernels (better performance but mainly better battery life).
I have been on official 2.3.3 since months now (waiting until Andy's Phoenix ROM matures a bit), and I must say that I'm quite happy with it (with LauncherPro of course).
Just be sure to install a good recovery (CWM 4.0.1.5 or so) and that you make a nandroid backup before you flash something new.
Oh and here's the howto I used to root my brother's phone yesterday...

So to see if i get it, by "custom recovery" you're saying i can use a "custom image" that someone created to improve my phone?
I didnt quite undestood the nandroid and CWM recovery parts! Im really sorry for all the questions but im still a noob in this area and i was hopping i could get to know a little more about this in this forum!
Ps: thank you all that answered till now!

Hi, as u said u r novice, & does not know anything.
My suggestion is to use ur cell for few months & search in google & XDA whatever u have doubt. Then understand one by one things.
I am telling because my cell was bricked with doing all these things, I voided warranty & i have to change my entire board for 3,000/-
I think no use with all these rooting & flashing, roms, getting headache with this stuff.
Just use ur phone as it is, & u may install new new softwares & games as market is producing a lot daily.
I have bad experience with all these experiments.
Rooted my p500 successfully ...
Rooting is NOT for novices.
Rooting requires some basic (to slightly advanced) understanding of the way this android software works. It also requires some basic understanding of the way in which kernel, over-clocking etc., work. And, one should also understand the limitations (of hardware, processing power, storage, RAM etc.,) of one's mobile phone.
Thankfully, I rooted my P500 successfully yesterday. And, loaded Titanium Backup and got going in the `rooted mobile' arena.
Removed some unwanted/useless applications like bollywoodji, vaccination tracker, etc., successfully.
i think rooting is a piece of cake. enable debugging mode, connect phone to pc, press the ROOT button

Actually very few people have bad experiences with rooting and related stuff. Most of us (including me) have done it right, and are enjoying the benefits.. Just follow the instructions carefully and everything will be alright. And make sure that whatever process you do, it is NOT INTERRUPTED in between. That's all.
Also, if you were in the stock froyo firmware, you could have simply rooted using gingerbreak. The 2.3 based firmware can also be rooted, but requires a few more steps, you can search and find out about that.
I would personally suggest not to use ROM manager for installing custom recovery on your P500, because when I used it, my phone got stuck in the fastboot mode. But with a little effort I could make it right.
All the best!
Hello everyone,
I am new here and french, so i am already sorry for my bad english !

Hi Mattieu,
You will probably be told by some that you should have searched first but unless you know what you are searching for it is kind of difficult since I see this is your first post. You need to decide how far you would like to go with this to be honest. First you can root your stock rom, you can install a custom rom, you can unlock your bootloader (this voids your warrenty) but after that you can install a custom recovery do backups and install custom roms. Also you will be in a position to use nvflash which will allow you to recvoer from most software bricks.
Rooting and playing with roms with no nand backup can be slightly dangerous but like I say you need to decide on your comfort level first.... Also if you go beyond the stock rom you may not be able to get any ota updates depending on what you do. If you unlock you definately cannot get ota updates but as soon as there is an offical release of a new rom, the developers have a custom version within a couple of weeks to a month...
This is great for rooting. Simple as pie.

As mentioned the device is easy to root. I have stuck with the Asus ROM and have not unlocked but I have rooted and used Titanium Backup to freeze apps (including system apps) that you don't think you need. This is a really safe approach for a beginner because frozen apps can be easily restored. This is important when working with system apps. On my Droid 3 phone for example, there were some system apps that I didn't think I needed but when I froze them I found that I actually did need them (i.e. it caused something else to break). Rooting also will let you overclock if you want to.
The other point is that the release of the Asus Android 4.1 release is probably imminent, though we don't know exactly when - it should be soon. Personally I'm going to stick with what I've got until after that happens just to give the new Asus rom a chance. You will not get this update if you unlock, though the custom ROM developers will probably have their own version of it out not too long after the stock release. Still, I'm taking a wait and see approach for the time being.
Thx for your responses !
So, i should wait for the new ROM stock version (jellybean isn't it ?). OK
But i can already root the tablet, there's no link with the ROM ?
And before running the root, i should use titanium backup to save my actual configuration, in order to restore it if there's a problem ?
Greetings everyone
I have this awesome tablet for my young son who loves to watch YouTube kids
The current FW which is an OFW will not permit the DL of YouTube kids I think due to compatibility issues etc.
I ask anyone to advise on how to load a CFW or something to allow me to run YTK and other items. Obviously I would need android 5 or higher.
Where could I find step by step instructions to do this? I am not sure of the detailed ways so I am needing patience from you.
I would appreciate all the help, so will my son
Thank you
Have you tried rooting it? What model is your tablet - 10.1?

Try the 7.1.2 Nougat Rom
I prefer Nougat without gapps and overclock the CPU to 1400 MHz.

Good luck
I have the 10.1 GT-P 7510 I had XDA root it for me through their 1 click root system because I didn't want to take the chance on messing anything up because you read so much online about people bricking devices trying to root them. I also have kind of the same question, I have an old version of Netflix on mine that runs perfect but would like to go to a newer version, and I would also like to install kodi or xbmc on this tablet so I can take it with me on trips and be able to watch movies. after extensive searching I was able to find out that supposedly kodi 14.2 helix will work on this tablet, but trying to find it is essentially impossible, and when you do find the file it always seems to be broken in some way and wont work, supposedly there is a program called SBMC which is a fork of kodi for this device, but can't find that one anywhere. so my question is this because I am so new to this rooting thing. My tablet is already rooted with Super SU and I would like to know where I could look to get instructions how to install the nougat 7.1 rom or even a different rom to be able to go to some newer apps at this point I have been a little timid about doing too much because at least Netflix is working, and the xda tech told me not to factory reset it update it and a few other things, and a few other things because then it won't be rooted. any help in this will be very much appreciated and please feel free to move this post if it is in the wrong area and I apologize it is my first time posting. I will say this though it was well worth the 40.00 to have xda root it for me because it can be a bigger process than people think depending on the device the guys are awesome.

I also have a 10.1 GT-P 7510(wifi) 32g. The P7500 and the P7510 are basically the same and use the same firmware. I've had mine rooted for a long time. I use Kingoroot because it's easily replaced with Supersu. As far as ROMs go I've had only difficulties. What I can tell you is that for myself this has been a little difficult up til possibly just recently. There are many ROMs available here at XDA, most of them were unstable. The 7.1 Nougat, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-10-1/development/rom-android-7-0-nougat-t3471350, looks promising but I haven't got CWM recovery to flash the zip without giving me a "No File_Contexts warning. If I could get a tar.md5 ROM I would use Odin3 in a heartbeat. Version 1.85 is the one I use most and thats just to undo the softbricks, by flashing in the original firmware. If you live in the US its this, https://www.androidlegend.com/update-samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-wi-fi-p7510-with-ics-4-0-4-uelpl/. Run that through Odin if you ever get stuck in bootloop crash the tab, pretty much anything but a hardbrick. The 8.0 Rom I'm waiting for the developers to complete.
Hello guys, new Galaxy Tab3 owner here. Just picked it up from Best Buy sale (please don't say I payed too much and/or I should've waited for some other sale).
Anyway, I was wondering what recommendation there might be for first time use of this tablet, i.e. is it ok to install all OTA updates or should I leave whatever Android version it has out of the box, or just forget that and just root and flash TWRP? I mention this because some time ago on the Alcatel Onetouch Idol 3 everyone who update to MM basically lost root and had to downgrade to regain fastboot.
Thanks for any advice.

It's OK to install the latest updates as they accually seem to fix some bugs, the twrp seems a bit dodgy for me. Then rooting it is up to personal preference

Hello, I'd be interested in rooting my Galaxy Tab S3 as I'm constantly running out of space and I'd like to use Link2SD. I have never rooted before so I want to be sure I'm not making mistakes. It's running Android 9.0 and One UI 1.1. My main concern is that I want to make sure my data doesn't get removed, I'm only interested in being granted root access for Link2Sd. I also dont know which programs or sites to use as I've heard some are spyware and that's a concern as well. As my tablet has been upgraded to 9.0 I'm unsure how to go forward as most guides seem older. I'd like to change as little as possible and get straight to rooting. I would appreciate help and suggestions! Thank you!

easy. Just follow ashyx's twrp thread dotted around somewhere in this forum. Go to that thread and follow the oreo instructions (even if youre on pie) and flash this zip at the end before rebooting: Knox Guard Bypass.
by the by the process of rooting WILL WIPE ALL DATA INCLUDING THE INTERNAL STORAGE and it will need a PC. So yeah do your backups.
Hit thanks if it helped
