So MTP is working for me. Device shows up as generic A53 in windows and allows me to move files to the external SD. Haven't been able to test OTG yet as I do not have an OTG cable.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] uchihasparky:
Nice. I have MLA-L03 as well, still haven't got unlock code, nice to see that nova and nova plus are seemingly completely compatible with one another. Hopefully ROMs will be unified as well...
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] parashep:
I sure hope so too. luckily, testing out a ROM isn't as scary as flashing a recovery.

since it has been confirmed that it won't destroy my phone, I will load it up on my phone once I unlock it. unlocking the bootloader will wipe the user data on the device, correct?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mrjuniork:
Sure, data will be wiped.

OTG is working too, like a charm :)
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Xelfmade:
So after the first wave of exams I had time to build the 3.0.3 Version of TWRP.

So we're now on the nougat branch of TWRP. One disadvantage: our root method won't work with this version, but you can first flash one older recovery, get your device rooted and then flash the new recovery above it.

Feel free to test it and give an feedback if something doesn't work.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Jambii1987:
Flashed ok. MLA-L03 Again.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Xelfmade:
So I just take the time and cleaned the device tree a little and made some bugfixes. (no cursor anymore and the time is correct^^)

There is also decryption enabled, can someone test if it works and report back?

Would be nice, because I formatted my /data partition, so I can't test it anymore..
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Jambii1987:
Didn't try earlier. Will test when I'm home tonight and report back
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Jambii1987:
Tried latest build. Asking for password.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] wangdaning:
That is the password to decrypt your data. I tried a million ways to get that to work and decrypt, but no password ever worked. If you hit cancel you will still get into TWRP, but you also still wont be able to mount data.

If you have set up a pin/password lock for your lock screen that should be the password.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Xelfmade:
It should be the password, but it isn't..I've no idea how to pass this encryption..

Ok, than it doesn't work. Hit cancel and it works like before..I'll upload a version later, without the decrypt option.

Edit: It's uploaded.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] wangdaning:
Yeah, I was running a TWRP with the decryption enabled before and the password never worked. Even after changing the password with

adb shell su vdc cryptfs changepw

I think that was it. But, it still would not unlock in TWRP. Huawei must have set up some special code for decryption I guess :eek:
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Xelfmade:
I've uploaded a new version, can you try it again? [MENTION=5270694]Jambii1987[/MENTION]

I even can't test it on my one, because the encryption on the device doesn't work.. :D
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] wangdaning:
Yeah, my encryption no longer works either, unless I do a factory wipe I guess.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Jambii1987:
Will try later and let you know :D
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Xelfmade:
What is later in your context..I'm thrilled to hear if it works.. :D

PS: Has anyone else an encrypted device and can test if the decryption works?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Jambii1987:
Decryption did not work on last build that I tested. Sorry for late reply. On a more sad note I no longer have Nova plus :'( so I won't be able to test anymore.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Xelfmade:
Which one have you tested?

Why you don't have the phone anymore?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] uchihasparky:
yo xelfmade, you should update thread title to clarify it works on nova AND nova plus. ?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Xelfmade:
Yeah you're right I should, will do this till I get home..
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ATRAC3:
Please help.. I have CAN-L11, i successfully unlocked BL, flashed TWRP, but now the phone boots to ENCRYPTION UNSUCCESSFUL screen, and i can't seem to do anything... Tried formatting data, factory reset, advanced wipe, EVERYTHING, and nothing seems to work. I'm pretty sure i didn't had encryption enabled in the first place... Oh, when i try to format data it says:

Formatting data using mkfs.f2fs

mkfs.f2fs -t 0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p54 process ended

with signal:6

Unable to wipe Data.

Unable to format to remove encryption.

Please help... The phone is brand new, i didn't even insert my sim...
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Xelfmade:
Please try the build from 17th of February. It should work then..

Encryption is enabled by default as soon as you lock your device. So if you setup a pin or pattern your device gets automaticity encrypted..
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Rymcbc:
So if you reset to factory and go through startup without setting up pin then all will be unencrypted? Or will it just be encrypted again once there is eventually a pin etc setup?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] wangdaning:
I am pretty sure the data partition is encrypted out of the box.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] iksimkd:
I just successfully rooted my Huawei Nova CAN-L01 using this. Thanks for the great tutorial. Any recommendations for a cleaner ROM to install on my device?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kabise:
i have branded Huawei Nova(L01) Wind Italy , i succesfully unlock the BL and have it rooted. Unfortunately i didn't back up , when i try to installed original rom it always asking ''cust img'' error . I'am stuck to TWRP i cannot install any ROM and my Nova is useless atm. waiting for some help.

P.S : service center in Italy just replaced me new Huawei Nova .

regards,
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Xelfmade:
Can anyone with an encrypted huawei Nova (not plus!) test, if the TWRP decrypts the data partition?

I'll maybe try another version of that later today..
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] thomasths27:
jes the version form the 17th did work at the beginning but restoring System from backup left my rom unbootable. probably because i did no backup from data
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Xelfmade:
I mean the version from 18th of February.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Michiel0912:
Cust.img for CAN-L01 is floating around in the forums.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bluesmoothie:
Answer me the password but doesn't works
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Xelfmade:
If it works correctly it should work without any password..
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] perezoso:
The same here... Asks for a password, but can't decrypt data (CAN-L11, twrp_huawei_hwcan_20170218.img).

A newbie question: Why should it work without any password? From my unterstanding, anyone who knows how to boot into recovery is able to access data partition without a password. This way encryption would be useless for me..
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bluesmoothie:
Impossible to enter a blank password
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Xelfmade:
The stock recovery works the same..so yeah, it's kind of a needed loophole..

I don't say that you should input a blank password, I said there is no password needed at all. The TWRP just asks for a password, because itself wasn't able to decrypt the partition..but if decryption would work, this screen shouldn't appear at all..
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] perezoso:
[MENTION=6159005]Xelfmade[/MENTION]: Thanks for the explanation!

For the moment I won't format data partition, waiting for your next TWRP build...
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bluesmoothie:
OK, I don't know if it's important but with this version when I boot to recovery I see the twrp bootscreen and after a black screen and after the twrp bootscreen... (And after the request of password)
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Xelfmade:
Once more I don't know what you want to say me..
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bluesmoothie:
XD sorry I will upload a video
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
I understood what bluesmoothie said, happened the same with me. The device attempts to boot into twrp twice, almost as it was bootlooping, but in the second attempt, it boots normally into the twrp.

But well, I confirm that your twrp works fine with CAZ-TL10 and 20170218 file still doesn't decrypt the data partition sucessfully here either.

Anyone else find that other then a nice feature list of Emui 5.0 there is nothing about unlocking the bootloader anywhere following the login from the link provided? Any ideas where to go to have Huawei unlock it?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mArIuS%:
Use a pc for full loading the emui.huawei.com page. Never use the phone to do so importants things.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Rymcbc:

[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] perezoso:
Do you mean the registration for the Huawei ID and getting the Unlock Code?

I followed this guide, but used this link to register (register email). In my case it was important that the site says "You are registering your Huawei ID for China." on the bottom half of the screen, all the others didn't work for me. Only this way the link of the first post of this thread worked for me. Otherwise I always got the reloading EMUI page as you mentioned. Good luck :)
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mArIuS%:
I hade the same problem, all you have to do is to insist, don't give up! I've managed to unlock the bootloader after a tones tries.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] perezoso:
Is there any further development on TWRP with encryption support? Or at least a newer version where root is supported?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] wangdaning:
Root is supported on 3.0.2 versions of TWRP, then you can upgrade to 3.0.3 if you want.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Rymcbc:
Thanks a ton! Did you, or do you have to use the same email as you registered with your huawei id on your phone? When I try with that email it says I'm registered with the other site and won't allow login.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] fdsassfvh:
this TWRP can't work with android 7 emui 5 right ?

any why to make it work ? or any way to root emui5 ?

[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] fellowlurker:
I wiped my /data partition then saved a backup of all the other partitions, but I'm now stuck in huawei e-recovery (twrp is still working). Has wiping data caused my system to not boot or has something else happened? I tried a factory reset from twrp... it still only boots into the huawei e-recovery

I'm looking for advice on what to try next to unbrick this. My device is MLA-L03 and I have a backup of all partitions (except /data).
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] wangdaning:
There is a data partition backup on one of the threads, forget which one. After formatting data you should put the data files in your twrp backup and restore all. Worked for me.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] perezoso:
Thank you for the info!

You're welcome! I didn't register on my phone before. But yes, I had to unregister every time when I tried to register for another region until it worked for me.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Xelfmade:
I had the same problem and made a new account ?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Rymcbc:
Just paid the 6 bux to dc unlocker and let them do the work lol. Anyone figure a way to get the updated app back after Nougat upgrade? Everything else ready to go but there is a new version of Nougat for actual provider not just the same variant and I'd like to switch to it but updater is gone and I'd like to avoid the forced update to avoid failure issues not rolling back fine since I have yet to grab a nandroid nor can find a actual full version of the stock firmware so i lasts have a fall back safety net type of deal. Wanted to be on my correct provider version to stay with before i unlock bootloader flash recovery and root it.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] fellowlurker:
Thanks for your help :)

I found 3 files from bluesmoothie:

data.f2fs.win 7kb

data.f2fs.win.md5 1kb

data.info 1kb

I tried what you said (twrp backup copied into /data partition and restored). I also tried to restore only data from a sdcard (I only have a 1GB sdcard). The restore is succesfull but my phone still only boots in erecovery. Is it because bluesmothie's files are from can-l11 and I need mla-l03? Do I need a userdata.img or data.img from mla-l03 or does any version data partition (emui 4) work?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] wangdaning:
What I did was a full factory reset using the update.app from Huawei. After it completed I used Huawei recovery to factory reset, just in case, and the bootloader was locked after that, so had to unlock. Next, I used fastboot to format /data partition. I then flashed TWRP and created a backup of everything except data. I then put [MENTION=6009323]bluesmoothie[/MENTION] data files into the TWRP backup and restored all. It took a while the first boot, but it did boot eventually.

The files should work regardless of which variant (the insides of the nova/nova plus are the same mostly) as I have a device with 64gb storage and 4gb memory and it worked.

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 AM ----------

Well, if you have unlocked your bootloader, flashed TWRP, or rooted, not OTA will work. You will have to relock (commands don't work for me on this) bootloader, unroot, and go back to stock recovery. Then you can manually install update app and apply OTA. Also, hicare has an option to lead you to updates. I have been getting messages about every week for OTAs, just not interested as I have root and xposed with android 6.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] fellowlurker:
OK! Do you mean that I can extract the update.app from the zip file and install it from twrp?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] wangdaning:
No, you need stock recovery and to create a folder named dload in your sdcard. Then use the three button combo to initiate update (make sure no cable connected). There is lots of info around and I think we are moving away from topic too much here.

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------

Please forgive this post, don't want post count at 666 (aw, still there as replying to myself :( ). I will add a little to point out that the TWRP provided is awesome, and fully themeable. I am running the material dark theme, if you have this installed give it a try (search twrp themes for the flashable zip files).
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Rymcbc:
I fortunately had not unlocked or rooted yet as I was waiting to try stock nougat as is for a few days. So I just switched to my proper version via dload 3 button update and factory wiped from stock recovery. All worked out except can't get into dload mode now button press or otherwise to flash twrp and superuser now. I too debated the N upgrade trade off to availability of exposed modules. The experience on N is so much faster smoother and notifications feels like android again. N is a keeper for me.

Sorry took us astray with some random issues and questions. Looking forward to have my Twrp back again and big thanks to all who put in the efforts to make it work and imporove it for us ongoing.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Rymcbc:
How long was "awhile"? I waited about 40 mins of a pulsing huawei symbol but it never actually booted. I think I messed it up when I only restored the data partitions from bluesmoothie instead of a full restore of all my partions. Never wiped any just formated data in twrp now in bootloop after i forced the reboot and tried to restore all. Did you do your full reset with the update.app from your pc or via update on sd card? The same os I had just installed now fails at 5% when trying do install via sdcard.

EDIT: Just found out that these data partitions or the process doesn't work with nougat, so no decryption is the trade off for 7.0 for now.

Does anyone have a Huawei Nova CAN-L01 stock recovery backup ?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Cerg_83:
What version of TWRP did you try? I've tried 20161222 and 20170218 on my Huawei Nova CAZ-TL10C01 and it doesn't boot. It just goes to message that my phone is unlocked and then turns off. Tried multiple times and different button combos (POW+VolUp, POW+VolUp+VolDown). Now I'm on my stock recovery.

Maybe [MENTION=6159005]Xelfmade[/MENTION] can help somehow?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
I tested each release version (except the ones that xelfmade was just testing if decryption worked, because i was late to the test). All of them worked fine here, no problems. Apart from twrp, did you try to root? If yes, did you used supersu? Because supersu is not supported because of kernel compression.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Cerg_83:
No, I didn't try to root. I only unlocked bootloader and wanted to make a full backup via twrp, but it doesn't work for me. Btw, I was going to root via twrp, as it is written in [MENTION=6159005]Xelfmade[/MENTION]'s instruction.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Xelfmade:
Try flashing stock recovery or the build of 17th of February. The build from 18th was just a test for decryption (I think personally it was the 121st test for it ?) and therefore I haven't changed the title of this thread..
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Rymcbc:
Guess no one has found away to get the data partitions for Nougat like they have for MM yet? Be nice to loose the data decryption. Or even for someone to get the lineage os for the can-l11 working on the MLA variants as well would be awesome!
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Cerg_83:
Thank you for the advice and for your work here:good: but 20170217 doesn't boot too. I'm back on my stock recovery. Btw, I've unpacked stock recovery and compared it to your sources - there is a difference in recovery.img-base. Your base is 80008000 and my is 80000000. I think it's important difference. May I ask you to build one more version for me with this change? Or maybe you can tell me how to build it by myself from your sources?

Thanks in advance!

Better question is - where was it replaced and are you 100% sure you got a genuine screen? You may have been sold a non samsung screen. I've seen lot's of that happen to iPhones with cheap fake screens. As for an upgrade - I had my S6 G920F for over a year now and had no problems at all.
