TWRP - changing language

OP - thank you for this thread. Was able to follow the steps and get most of the things accomplished.

One thing that i am having trouble with is - changing the TWRP language from Chinese to English. In button #6, the globe icon is not even clickable. All others are, but that one is not. Any ideas? Thanks!

EDIT: I got it to work. It seems some icons in the corners of the screen can be a little hard or slow to respond... if you (a future reader) are having the same issue - try kind of mini swiping in circles over that icon and it will eventually respond.

Hi,

I requested the unlock code on the Huawei site but I get this error:

The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days.

How can I do?

Some might apply to me :)
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tefloncoated:
You have to wait 14 days or pay for the credits on DC-unlocker app

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tefloncoated:
Has anyone had any issues with TWRP? I am having two:

1. Intermittently, TWRP resets its settings and clears the TWRP/BACKUPS/EDISON folder (both External and Internal folders), deleting the backup files as a result. I cope with this by creating a folder named "copy_TWRP" and moving the backup folder there.

2. Also, for some reason, recently TWRP stopped recognizing my external SD card - 0 bytes and cannot select it in the menu.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MarkAndroid:
TWRP is unable to complete the backup.

I tried to store data in both the ExternalSD that the internal memory.

Written red and locked process.

There is an updated and 100% compatible with our honor note 8?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MarkAndroid:
This is the error that is reported:

createTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255

I tried both with data compression that without

Solutions?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tefloncoated:
You can review the process log created by the recovery located in the backup folder. At the end of the log there will be a line listing the actual file that caused the issue. Probably some file in the \data partition. You can remove that file or edit the permissions on it and re-run the back up.

Here is the problem with that approach though - there will be many other files that will throw the same exact error next time you run it.

And here is an even more peculiar finding: even if you do nothing with that problem file, the next time you run the back up and it fails - it may not be the same file! It's very odd, i think is due to the ported version of the TWRP that was not specifically made for our device.

Anyway, your potential solutions:

1. Use FireFlash for back up

2. Do not include the \data partition in your TWRP back up. Then do JUST the /data partition - see if it fails. It probably will, but worth a shot.

Solution #2 will back up most of what you need to restore your phone to operational but you will need to re-install all of the apps. So use Titanium Backup for that.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MarkAndroid:
Thanks for the reply.

The error is reported only when I try to back up your data partition.

Where do I find the log file in TWRP?

The "data" partition is the partition containing the installed user app, which can be copied using Titanium Backup?

I want to try twrp root procedure but afraid, if fail, how to recover phone from boot loop or something similar... I am not badly skilled for samsung, but totally new here... Can I somewhere download stock rom and flash it if fail this? How? Or something else?

Thanks
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2Duky:
I can upload for you somewhere clear backup of EMUI 4.1 - B027, but i didnt try to flash this backup yet, just created this backup..

Next solution is: Get your phone to Huawei eRecovery mode ( not TWRP ) and there is an option to download and install latest stock ROM.. I have tried it and reverted my phone from B029 back to B027 successfully!

To make sure and avoid any issues in future, save your created backup from SD card to PC...
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ivanox1972:
Thanks, is it possible to install twrp on b029?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2Duky:
No clue.. But on B029 it didnt work for me.. My device stuck in command line on "waiting for device" so that was reason why i reverted back to B027...
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ivanox1972:
Uh, friend. So I can not put twrp and a root b29 anyhow? Can you please explain procedure to revert to b27. I am new on Huawei, always had samsungs
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2Duky:
Try this: Put your phone to recovery mod.. Turn it off with holding power button. When your device will restart, hold power button still and push and hold Volume UP button together with power button till you get into recovery mod. Click there at first button "Download and install latest official firmware"... For me it was revert to B027..

It will be brand new installation, so without backup all your data will be lost probably..

OFF TOPIC:

Huawei Honor Note 8 is my first Huawei phone. Before i had Samsung Note 2 and Iphone.. On these devices i made root and "jailbreak" but it has been a few years ago.. In last years i really didnt care about phones and android so i had to learn new stuff about that.. :)

Few days ago i knew nothing about unlocking bootloader, never heard about TWRP, GAPPS and Xposed framework before :silly:

Good luck and inform us!

If I continue holding vol plus pinus it goes to some software update and say it fails. maybe twrp is not compatibly with b29?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2Duky:
I would revert to B027... There has not been any issues..
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ivanox1972:

Hm, is there any intelligent way? To make titanium backup and then restore? Or Huawei backup can help? Please give me info for this also how to do, even with data lose first time, as you helped me all! All steps.

Thanks again, is needed to say...
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2Duky:
Titanium backup is one of the options..

Next one is app called Flashfire.. This smart tool has been created by Chainfire - same developers as Super SU..

With this tool you can create flashable backup and update your firmware ( OTA updates ) to newest release without loosing your root! ..Just be careful with using this app!

EDIT:

Today i had free time so i updated both of my Honor Note 8 to B029 and then flashed them..

Everything worked fine, i just needed to exchange my USB ports, because it stuck again in console "waiting for device"

1. ) You really dont need to download and copy an additional Super SU zip file to your SD card!

Super SU is included in TWRP, to root your phone go to TWRP --> Advanced --> Root and its done!

2. ) You can choose your recovery mode - what you want to run..

- If you want to get TWRP Recovery - just turn off your device and hold power button with volume UP buttton..

- but.. If you want to get default Huawei eRecovery - Put your phone on data cable to PC or charger, turn off your device and hold power button with volume UP buttton..

Im very glad for this option! Its very smart and useful solution, especially if you flash something wrong, you dont have backup or you just want to get back your Stock ROM! With Huawei eRecovery its easy! You can download and install latest stock ROM directly from Huawei servers!

Just wanted to say that I completed the bootloader unlock, install of TWRP and root of my phone safely following this. Thanks!
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fongher10:
Unlocker is unable to find modem. Drivers are coming up using HiSuite. It's in Mfg Mode. Any help would be appreciated. The phone model isn't on the list to manually select. Running Win10x64

Edit; Found my error...change from modem to phones.

Is it normal that the orange message on bootup about the bootloader being unlock comes on all the time? Anyway to remove it?

Update: Problem after problem with the process.

1. TWRP 3.0.2-0 will not allow the phone to boot and it will eventually boot into recovery so you can update from their server, to B27. This is the same for B27 and B29. The version in the original steps (3.0.2-0) work fine however. Filesizes are different for the two.

2. Rooting via TWRP 3.x and older version or zip is successful but after rebooting the phone loops at least twice and root is removed. Verified with root checker on every SuperSU (2.78 and 2.79) install. So I basically have no root no matter what.

3. Google services are not included in the B27/B29 Huawei server and updates. I found an installation but it only works under B27, not B29. My original phone, B27, did come with Google services and remained after updating to B29.

4. Updated to B29 to try rom from Mike (B29 version). Rom installed ok but gets stuck at blue logo every time. Have not tried B27 roms.

I only want root to remove the annoying apps that came with the phone, especially that fcking Health app that is always using the notification. If anyone has any ideas that I could try that would be great. Thanks.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tiggrr1:
fongher10, every time I have got stuck at the blue logo it was because I did not perform a Wipe in TWRP before installing the ROM.

root on my stock B332

Hi all,

I would like to share this info with you.

I tried to root my (unlocked) stock B332 Honor Note 8.

Using different versions of TWRP to flash SuperSU version v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.

No luck....

Checking the 'rooting' logfiles I suspected it had something to do with the TWRP versions I was using (../bootimg.sh[69]: syntax error: '=~' unexpected operator/operand, segfaults in cpio)...

Then I found this thread, [TWRP][P9][3.1.0-0][EMUI 5.x ONLY][DECRYPTION SUPPORT] by OldDroid

OpenKirin TWRP.

Since the Honor Note 8 also uses the Kirin 955, I thought I give it a go...

I flashed twrp-3.1.0-0-eva.img, booted into recovery, flashed v2.79-201612051815-EMUI5.0.zip, just rebooted and...

All still seems to work ok, WITH root...

---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 PM ----------

I just saw that there is a way to rollback stock B332 to B029 via HiSuite.

If I connect my phone to HiSuite and choose 'Systeem update'.

It says I already have the newest version installed but it does offer me to restore my phone to OTA-EDI_AL10C233B029.

Did not try it myself though...
