This has got to be one of the most difficult phones I have ever had to find definitive answers to rooting. I have rooted a few phones in the past. Even the almost impossible LG-G4 Canadian version. TWRP and Magisk have been instrumental, but for this phone, I am finding bits and pieces, most dealing with the non-pro Android 9 version of the phone. If there is anyone that can give me a rundown of accomplishing this on Android 10, I would be very appreciative. My current firmware is (BV9900Pro_S900AA_V1.0_20201116V03_20201116-1727) Non-EU version.
I have checked TWRP and the Blackview is not even listed, magisk shows (Ramdisk - YES, A/B - NO, SAR - YES)
I have the same issue. I have been looking to root my BV9900 pro as well and all I can find are root instructions for BV9900 Pro running on Android 9. Mine also comes with Android 10, Hong Kong version BV9900Pro_EEA_S900AA_V1.0_20201105V07

Hey all -
Was wondering if anyone happens to know, as either there isn't much info out there, or my Google-Fu is lacking.
*What* is the difference (not *is* there...) between the M5 and M5S?
I happen to have an M5S, and it will not run the TWRP for M5. Even after flashing the M5 firmware to it.
While I can get around flashing by the command-prompt/fastboot/adb, I AM lazy, and enjoy being able to make nandroid backups.
getdroidtips has an alldocube m5 step by step instructions that worked like a charm. I cannot post outside links here sadly even though I have one on my clipboard for ya.
You should take a look at Alldocube M5 XS. The website says that it support the Treble Project. Apparently there is already recovery, root, and possibly Treble Pie 9.0
Hello,
I would like to find out if its possible to modify the firmware of a smart phone in one of two ways: 1) changing a phone's identify essentially fooling it into thinking is a superior model, for example, making a Huawei P20 Lite think its the pro version OR 2) forcibly upgrading the current android software to a newer version, in my case, from Android 9.0 / EMUI 9.1 to Android 10 / EMUI 10. I've tried to do research and find sources to assist me but I haven't found anything.
My reasoning for option one is that I would be able to download the official EMUI upgrade a lot sooner and I imagine it would be the safer option. However, if that fails, I guess option two would omit the in-between hassles and upgrade it directly to the newer EMUI / Android version.
I am extremely eager to get the universal dark mode on my phone and unfortunately, these third party dark themes just aren't working for me.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated

Hey,
Altough I bet there are hunderds of threads like this, I decided to create another one
So because I have my mate 10 lite around 2 years (a bit less), I would like to get an upgrade. Sadly I won't get Android Pie officially, so I'd like to install a custom ROM.
To do that I need an unlocked bootloader which dc-unlocker is only able to do below Android 8.0.
So I would have to downgrade my Android 8.0 (Btw, EMUI is also 8.0) to Nougat 7.0.
The method through HiSuite didn't worked since it just says "Newest Developer Version installed", but nothing with "Switch to other versions".
Also through Firmeware Finder (Playstore App) it doesn't show me the option "In-App Proxy", so I guess it doesn't work either with that.
Is there another way to do, if so I would really appreciate any help
Thanks in advance
My Mate 8 also keeps on Android 8.0, without any update to Android Pie officially.
If the official utility, HiSuite, which is developed by Huawei doesn't work, we maybe have no way to downgrade the system software on Mate 10 or Mate 8.

It all depends on your current build version. If I remember correctly the ability to use DC was patched in most custs in May or June. So if your security date is prior to May you can still use DC. If not you're out of luck. You can use testpoint to flash board software and then get unlock code through there, but it requires you to remove the back of your phone which will break IP rating and void warranty (If it's still under warranty)

Hi
I have the same device and tried everything with no luck, the device comes with a locked bootloader, unless someone can unlock it I guess there's no way to install a custom ROM.
There's the Googlefier app built by @Bender007 but didn't work for me on EMUI 10.1.1.132.
I had a thought to flash Magisk into the firmware and load it on USB but I have no idea what file to inject Magisk in, maybe that could work, anyone have an idea how to do it?
regards.
Look this tutorial: https://androidphoria.com/tutoriales/instalar-google-play-huawei-p40-lite
Also can see on:
There is another one, that seems OK:
Hey,
so here's what I found so far:
if phone was released before 2020 April (untill March) --> Googlefier method will work, else, it won't.
P40 LITE 5G was released in 2020 April shipping with 10.1.1 ROM, there is no 10.0 version - the end.
P40 LITE 5G ships with Kirin 820,whereas,
all other P40 variants ship with Kirin 810.
Kirin 810 has 10.0 ROM, whereas, Kirin 820 doesn't ( so P40 Lite has 10.0 ROM, P40 Lite 5G hasn't)
The only phone that has 10.0. stock ROM with Kirin 820 is Honor 30S
So there is ONE stock 10.0 ROM that runs on Kirin 820 (f yeaaaah)
(Also don't confuse it with Kirin 820E)
OK, so what?
Here are some questions to discuss:
Is it possible to flash Honor 30S stock ROM on P40 Lite 5G to boot into a 10.0 ROM to use Googlefier and to continue upgrading using OTA?
Android will think it's a Honor device ( I guess )...
Using ADB it might be possible to disable all Honor specific stuff for "user 0" (this wouldn't break OTA update)
With a basic ApkExtractor it might be possible to simply install EMUI stuff (most of it) like HMS core and such, so theoretically (if all dependencies can be met - smtg I don't know) you can login with Huawei ID and such .- if uou care at all
Aaand another (possibly stupid) question:
Would it be possible to Copy-Paste a sort of a "custom P40 Lite 5G" ROM using the Honor 30S kernel only, deleting all Honor system apps, injecting EMUI system apps and packaging a flashable ROM? I ask this from complete ignorance, I don't know if it's possible or not. Like, does EMUI have some sort of a certificate or signature that it can be packaged (or compiled) only by Huawei? No idea, but there's my 2 cents.

Hi, I'm looking for a way to install gms on huawei p50 series European version, especially p50 pocket. I tried several methods, but all require or a downgrade, quindo you must necessarily own a p40 series or in any case in previous model that has come out of the factory with previous versions of emui, or a Chinese version of the device with harmony OS installed is required or finally to convert your device to a Chinese version, but for this procedure a downgrade to emui 11 or 10 is still required, which as mentioned before is impossible for the p50 series. Obviously huawei does not provide codes for unlocking the bootloader, so I am looking for an alternative way. As soon as a method for installation is found, it will be posted here. If you have medotes kindly post them
As far as I know P50 x started with EMUI 12. That's why you will not find a ROM to downgrade.
It seems that there is a custom ROM out for the pro but not for the pocket.
I just made another thread in this subforum to ask if someone can confirm that P50 harmony OS checks the phone model and refuses to run on the global version. Otherwise looking for HarmonyOS stock ROM and installation via TWRP could be an option.

The basic problem is that huawei does not allow unlocking the bootloader, not providing more codes since 2018. If you know alternative methods to unlock the bootloader, then install twrp and flash rom, you could write them here and I will be happy to try them
I state that I'm looking for solutions for native installation of gms, so 'gspace' or other emulation apps will not be good

How can I convert my p50 pocket eu to Chinese version? I tried several methods but with poor results
I think it's not possible for P50x.
It appears that in opposite to P40x they check now the smartphone model so that China ROM won't be available to install for an EU modell.

Yes, I knew. To convert the smartphone to Chinese version you need to downgrade to emui 10, which however you can not run on p50x as their factory os is emui 12.
That's why I opened this discussion to search or work on medotes for the native installer of gms on p50x eu.
Thank you for your reply.
