Just for information:

In the next days I'll switch to the 7.1 Branch (TWRP 3.0.3). This has one side effect: with this version our root method wont work anymore, you've to use the 3.0.2 version, root your device and can switch to the 3.0.3 version.. ;)

EDIT: And in early 2017 I'll try to bring some Nougat to our Nova..which ROM Base I'll use for this, I don't know for sure, but I keep my eyes on Lineage OS.. ;)
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
Great man! Thanks!

I'm willing to learn how to develop and I prefer AOSP, so if I find the time for it, maybe I'll try to bring some custom for us too. Maybe brokenOS or Tesla, I don't know, but lets see. For now, tahnks again!

AOSP is nice, but I don't know if AOSP can handle the two options.. SIM/SIM or SIM/SD-Card..

Let's see what's happening with all the Android distributions next year..

With an OTA that's more than difficult, you can search or ask someone for an backup of your device.. ;)

What's with your phone?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] merlin21:
Working again. I messed up while trying to repair a read-only system partition.

Everything works now and I could backup even data with your latest twrp, only knock on screen to capture don't work.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Xelfmade:
So you wiped the /data partition? Afterwords everthing works except this knocking feature? I think about to wipe it to, just for TWRP and Backup.. ;)
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] merlin21:
Yes, when wiped data (be sure to have a way to get the data back afterwards ?) your twrp could backup everything without error. Fingerprint and all stuff works.

Only fingersense dont work. I am following the nexus 6p forum where the company qeexo launched a pilot project rom to improve their product (the first how implement it seems huawei).

I believe its a security that it dont work to stop others stealing the idea of knock sense...

They write there, that they change the vendor partition because of drivers... I am just trying a few things, now that i can full nand backup ?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Xelfmade:
Yeah I wiped my /data partition too and it's all working smoothly.. :)

Maybe, if there is some time I'll look into it. But before I've to get healthy again.. :D

Edit: has anyone tested USB otg?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] merlin21:
No hardware to test the usb otg here.

Is your fingersense feature gone with format of data? I tried to restore old vendor, system and misc partitions, but it stays the fact that the data partition is the cause...

I'll get my adapter within the next days, so I can give a feedback about the OTG function.

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------

I'm also thinking about wiping /data, but then again I wonder why? I can backup the system and recovery on my SD card and the rest with titanium. So in case something goes wrong with xposed (coz that would be the only threat to my running system) then I could just restore system partition with TWRP, re-root and then restore everything with titanium... Or is here a error in reasoning?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Xelfmade:
You mean the gesture on the fingerprint reader to pull down the quicksettings or to scroll in photos? On my nova it works.. ;)
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] merlin21:
[MENTION=6912702]mshinni80[/MENTION]

no backup of data partition... If something went wrong there it's gone. That's all.

No, that works. What don't work is the double knock on screen to get a screen capture or the magic letters to open an app from everywhere.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Xelfmade:
Probably not before the new year has come..but yeah a nougat version is planned..
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] System of a pWne!^:
I wiped my data partition in TWRP and I'm now able to select data as backup store. But now my external SD is not visible anymore.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
I just received my nova but it seems i'll have to wait 14 days to unlock my bootloader :/

I have otg adapter but can't test it yet, as I'll have to wait. Maybe when I unlock my bootloader, the new twrp will be built already :p
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] -=MoRpH=-:

Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] System of a pWne!^:
I simply reflashed the recovery. Now everything works again, even though I already had twrp_huawei_generic_a53_20161222.img before. Strange but luckily it works again :)
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mrjuniork:
Update on the OTG topic:

Works flawlessly with twrp from [MENTION=6159005]Xelfmade[/MENTION] and superuser installed (EMUI 4.1, Android 6.0)
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mrjuniork:
after successfully installing nougat on my nova the bootloader is of course locked again. so there starts my problem: I can't put the phone in download/fastboot mode. After activating oem unlock and usb debug in settings I type in the command for reboot bootloader and then I can only see the white screen for a second and then the phone boots up normally....BUT then I noticed that the usb debug needs again trust verification, so it seems like that after rebooting the usb debug is deactivated or something similar. And with power+vol.down I do not even see the white screen, it would permanently show me the huawei boot logo...what the heck did they change here with EMUI 5?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] virusdunil:
first question is...is the Nougat you installed really made for YOUR device ?...

Did y flash a Nougat for somewhere else than your region ?

Maybe thats why you have problems...:rolleyes:

Nougat and emui 5 is supposed to be on our phone in Q1 2017... Thats WHY,im not playing with bootloader,twrp YET...

I really like mine with whats in it now and nothing to complain....and i too cant wait to get nougat/emui5 but,i prefer to have '' official Huawei''updates for now...im still under waranty so...
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mrjuniork:
Yes, I am sure that I have the right version. I just could not wait anymore and I believe the process itself is quite easy. Morph managed to reflash twrp and root the device, so I think it is worth it :)
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] E:V:A:
First of all, thanks to everyone here (and especially to @Xelfmade) who made this quickly and possible. Then...

Happy New Year!

This is a little concerning, as some Qualcomm devices may not be unlockable again, after having been unlocked and then re-locked once. It's all up to the manufacturer or service provider and customization. It depends of course on the particular locking mechanism used, and since its the first time I have a Huawei device, I don't know what this mechanism is. If it is using Qulacomm Qfuses, then we may be in trouble.

Q1: Does someone here know how this is done?

Q2: Can someone else please confirm if installing N re-locks the bootloader? (Warning: Don't do it if you haven't already done it!!)

Q3: Can someone who had this happen, try to unlock it again.

Q4: Are there any other known examples or work-around for preventing an update to re-lock bootloader?

PS. Please provide your exact device model and FW version you're using.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] merlin21:
[MENTION=4372730]E:V:A[/MENTION] no panic, morph already mentioned that after flashing nougat update he reflashed twrp and superuser. It work liked the time before with same unlock code from first time...
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mrjuniork:
After the update to Nougat the bootloader was locked again. So I repeated unlocking the bootloader with known code, reflashed twrp and installed superuser. All good :)

Nova PLus Mla-L11

Do anyone have exprience with nova plus?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] parashep:
I also have a Canadian MLA Nova Plus (MLA-L03) but don't think anybody here has tried it yet on an MLA phone? I don't know the hardware differences if any between it and the CAN model so I don't know if it would be safe to try.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
The hardware differences is none. Maybe mountpoints are different. You could try to flash the twrp and see if works. If not, you will have to restore your original recovery.img

EDIT:

Ofc, to do that, you need to unlock your bootloader and then fastboot flash the twrp. If it doesn't work, then look in this page for the FULL package. Download it, extract the zip then use the huawei extract tool to extract the UPDATE.APP and fastboot flash the recovery.img you find there. Don't you forget that this, although probably will work, has a great risk.

The biggest problem we have here with Nova/Nova Plus is the great variety of models and storage. This will probably slow things down for us =/

Hello,

I format Data in TWRP recovery, but the phone does not start.

Any advice how to fix it?

Thanks
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] merlin21:
More info would be great.Wich phone and software version (eu or else).

And what did you do before, why format of data?

Try these twrp backup of data partition.

http://wikisend.com/download/178268/data_twrp.zip
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] wangdaning:
If you have the Nova Plus and want to try, use "fastboot boot twrp.img" that way if it doesn't work nothing is flashed so you just need to reboot and nothing will be changed.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] merlin21:
But he already formated data partition. It don't boot without this one.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] wangdaning:
My response was to [MENTION=6615827]parashep[/MENTION] , sorry I used quick reply so that was not very clear
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] parashep:
Thanks for the suggestion, I will try this whenever I get the chance! If it boots, is there anything in particular I should be testing?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] wangdaning:
Well, you could test if making a backup works. TWRP should also allow you to access SU shell, then you could get a copy of the partition table. A final test would be using TWRP to flash SU to your phone.

If they are all working and partition layout matches the Nova, then it is a pretty safe bet that this version of TWRP will work for both Nova and Nova Plus. Just make sure you can get a working backup before you flash SU or anything like that.

Others who have troubleshot the TWRP on the Nova might have other suggestions.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kaktusak27:
Hello,

I updated from EMUI 4.1 to EMUI 5.0 and phone had ROOT. After the update has not run fastboot mode, BL is apparently locked, but phone can not reboot into fastboot mode even ADB command, the phone performs a restart. You can fix it somehow, I could redo the root?

Thanks, sorry my english
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] merlin21:
Hmm no fastboot.. How about recovery?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kaktusak27:
Phone volume up + power, run stock recovery, volume up and down + power, run stock update from dload folder, but volume down + power, no run download mode, but phone normal run :(
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
Vol. Down + power should get you to fastboot mode. Are you using the twrp? With it you can reboot to bootloader?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kaktusak27:
TWRP he had, but after updating to version 5.0 EMUI locked the BL, recovery is now STOCK and fastboot mode does not work. :(

I would like once again unlocked BL and perform root, but without fastboot mode is impossible. I even tried to restart over ADB statement, but it also does not work, The phone just reboots and launches.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mrjuniork:
Did you activate USB debugging and oem unlock in developer settings? I had that problem that it always was deactivated the moment I tried to reboot the bootloader with ADB.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kaktusak27:
Super,working, very thanks. Question: When flash TWRP and superuser.zip, I have to perform a wipe in TWRP?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:

Couldn't unlock my bootloader, I wonder why.

I waited for more than 14 days to get ot officially and the site keeps giving me the same message.

[MENTION=4699730]Vinnom[/MENTION]

With my honor 7 i had the same problems. Couldn't get a code, then i used dc unlock that worked.

I believe Nova isn't implemented yet in dc unlock.

Try to delete cache and temp files of explorer. Perhaps that helps. Then try another unlock side from huawei. There are more - search in thread huawei honor 7 bootloader unlock and you will get another side of huawei for unlocking. There they wrote it could be, that only the alternate link work.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
I couldn't either way ?

But I found a email to get in contact with them (mobile@huawei.com). For now, they asked for me to wait more 14 days. I think that if after this, if the site doesn't give me the code, they will send it to me
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
Good news! DC-unlocker updated their app and now it can read nova bootloader code and I could finally unlock mine.

After wiping data partition, I can use it normally through twrp, as already mentioned here. Old superSU can be used too (the ones that use system mode. The new ones that use systemless mode, needs a modified boot partition so it can't even be flashed properly). Binary can't be updated too.

I tried to flash a cooked rom which I cooked myself, ended up with signal 11 and no rom at all. Thanks to bluesmoothie backup, I have a functional system. Although for Google apps the European rom is great, the chinese had some additional features that I miss, like the yellow-ish color time control.

I couldn't update for nougat with the files made available in the other thread and now my device model is listed as CAN only. I'm thinking in going back to CAZ, but what I really want is nougat :/
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
Well, using firmware finder, I found CAZ-TL10C01B150, which happens to be the package I needed to go back to CAZ. Then I extracted its update.app and fastboot flashed sistem.img, cust.img, boot.img and recovery.img

Wondering through the internet, I founded the chinese thread where they mention how to go N: from my CAZ (and after updating it to CAZ-TL10C01B153 - minor update) I only had to access Huawei Mobile Services and apply for Nougat! And now, it is downloading and I just have to wait it finish :D

EDIT: forgot to mention, please [MENTION=6159005]Xelfmade[/MENTION] add CAZ-TL10 in the op, twrp works fine with it too.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Jambii1987:
Hey all. Firstly thanks for all the work on getting TWRP running on these devices.

I am using MLA-L03 Canadian Nova Plus and have unlocked the bootloader. When I attempt to just boot TWRP (not flash), to test if it will work, it just says booting... and then never does anything. Would this mean it's a no go or will I possibly have to flash to find out for sure? I have flashed tons of imgs before on other devices but Huawei is quite new to me. Almost want to just dive in but not sure if I can just reflash stock recovery if something goes wrong? I am not opposed to reflashing the entire device either. I am using windows cmd and using "fastboot boot twrp_huawei_generic_a53_20161222.img". I have adb and fastboot and I am in fastboot whilst attempting to boot. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Just realized that I had left cmd running and It said FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] parashep:
did you end up figuring it out? I haven't given it a shot just yet since I haven't unlocked my bootloader yet
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
If I'm not mistaken, 'fastboot boot' option requires ramdisk, boot.img or kernel as parameter. Recovery is not an option.

I would get an original recovery img, if anything goes wrong and then flash the twrp to test. But it is up to you.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] wangdaning:
It will work with a recovery image, I have done it many times. I was looking around as to why it might fail, and it seems like it is possible Huawei modified the fastboot boot command to require additional inputs. This thread is for the N4, but could explain the issue:

Keep in mind, you don't pay huawei for unlocking code. Dc-unlocker don't belong to huawei.

If you want it easy, pay 6 dollar.

If not, read threads and search for the right combination.

As a tip: sometimes you can't get the unlocking code with the phone browser. Try the huawei unlocking site with option desktop-view or better use a real pc to do this stuff.
