Hi, Pavel!

I think wangdaning said most of it already, but I think I could add that Grarak's TWRP can't decrypt data partition either. Both work the same, I only had an error with Xelfmade's when tried to flash LOS or RR by #Henkate.

The solution is already at wangdaning's answer. So, backup your important files on a computer (Huawei backup is a good non-root app to do it. You can use TiBu too as you habe root, so you can backup files and app/app data) and format data.

About bluesmoothie backup, it seems that is not there anymore. The link was broken, if I'm not mistaken. But someone (#Henkate, if I recollect it right) posted another link for it.

And finally, give it a try to LOS by #Henkate, if you want.

Ah. Well that is unfortunate for me. Thanks for the info, I will contact the people working on Magisk. Where on my file tree can I find the file boot.img?

Regarding what you said about "restoring it in TWRP from the backup made by bluesmoothie", I am not sure to understand, but maybe it is because I do not know much about what can TWRP allow to do: do you mean that TWRP can allow to restore specific partition (such as /data) from a backup file, instead of the bundle of all partitions? Does that mean that bluesmoothie was able to make a backup of an unencrypted /data partition, and that replacing mine with this unencrypted version will solve the "read-only" problem? Also, I assume that doing that would not alter the quality of a backup of my then "stock-but-/data-altered" rom, is that right?

[MENTION=4699730]Vinnom[/MENTION]

Ok, thanks for the info. What do "LOS" and "RR" refer too?

Ok. I already saved my important files, since they would have been erased during the unlocking of the bootloader anyway, If I understood correctly, so I guess that part is taken care of. Though I did it by selecting folders manually, and using the "backupyourmobile" app for SMS and the likes, so I guess I could use an integrated solution such as HuaweiBackup, thanks : )).

Ok, so I'll be looking for the posts of #Henkate.

Ok. Why do you think it could be interesting for me to try LOS out (what is it? A rom? A product such as TWRP?) / what features of LOS do you think could interest me?

Anyway, thanks to both of you for anwsering me : ) !
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
If you're rooted, than use dd command in Terminal Emulator to get boot.img:

# Grant root access
su

# Get boot.img to /sdcard (internal memory)
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/boot.img

Note that I don't remember properly if mmcblk0 is the right one. The command should finish in few/some seconds. If it takes more than that (let's say 1 minute), then it isn't the right one.

There's another way too (extract boot.img from update.app with Huawei Extractor), but it's obviously troublesome since it can be done right on your phone and easy.

Here's the post with new links of the TWRP backup taken by [MENTION=6009323]bluesmoothie[/MENTION].

LOS = LineageOS. Did you heard about the famous CyanogenMod? LineageOS is the new name.

RR= Resurrection Remix, a custom ROM based on LOS with many customization options. However, the build seems to be sluggish (in my opinion) compared to LOS13 which is smooth. RR team abandoned the development for RR 6.0.1, so it's been left like that.

Why would you try LOS13? Well, if you like AOSP feel and clean android, LOS is a great choice. However, there are some bugs left which might be important for you, so check the section with bugs in the second post in LOS thread.

You can find both, LOS and RR, in the development section (same section where you've found this thread).
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] SuperPavel:
@#Hankate

Thank you for your answer.

I am not rooted, so I guess I cannot apply the first method. That leaves the second method. Do you know where I could find the "update.app" file?

Also, would you happen to know the answers to the questions that I asked when answering to wangdaning, by any chance?

Ok, thanks for the definitions. A priori, for now, I am not interested in altering the OS beyong having both potential root access while passing the SafetyNet test when needed, so I think I'll pass : )
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] wangdaning:
Yes, TWRP will allow you to select which partitions to backup/restore. From Bluesmoothie's backup you only need to copy the files related to data. First, make a backup in TWRP of any partition on your current device. This will create the directory on your phone where TWRP backups are stored, usually something like /internal storage/TWRP/your serial number/backup name. Next, copy the backup files from bluesmoothie's backup into that backup file. Reboot to TWRP, format data, and then restore the data from the backup.

For the boot.img. You could find your current firmware update.app on firmware finder. Download it then look up the Huawei firmware extractor on xda to extract the boot.img.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] SuperPavel:
[MENTION=4850735]wangdaning[/MENTION]

Ok, thank you. I do not currently have access to a computer, so I cannot try it right away, I will be able to do so tomorrow afternoon. However, as far as I recall, when I tried to make a backup with TWRP, it failed (something about being read-only, I think), without even creating the folder tree that you described, apparently (I've just checked). But since I cannot reproduce the experiment for now (lack of computer), it is useless to talk about this for now. Or maybe you meant every partition except /data?

Ok for Firmware Finder, I'll try that tomorrow then : )
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
If the system is mounted read-only, then you need to got "mount" in twrp and uncheck the check written "mount system read-only". Then you'll be able to create a backup of system. Or, if you only need boot backup, then when inside backup menu, select only boot partition. It will generate a boot.emmc.win. Share this file in magisk thread.

Ok, thanks for the info. Unfortunately, when I tried to install the twrp recovery anew, I faced a new problem: my phone seems to not be able to stay in download mode: when I try to enter this mode by pressing Power + Volume Down at the same time, or when using the command "adb reboot bootloader", the phone does indeed show the corresponding screen, but then immediately reboot into recovery mode (the recovery of Huawei). As a consequence, it seems I cannot even try to install twrp anew. Is that a situation someone already encountered here, by any chance? If yes, would you have a suggestion as to what to do so as to get a chance to install twrp?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] SuperPavel:
Ok, after a bit a fidling, corrupting the OS and the /cust partition, then successfully installing a legit Huawei firmware using their own recovery, I have a working phone (albeit with Android 7.0 this time, which complicates matter further), but still the same problem: whenever I try to enter bootloader mode / download mode, the phone immediately boot again, into system mode. I still do not know how to solve this, I have found no info on the internet regarding this, and I guess that if I do not find it here on this forum, I probably won't find it anywhere else. I find that trying to toy with Huawei Nova smartphones for now is too much of a hassle.

Would you guys know which smartphone series / type is well suited to being toyed with, and compatible with Magisk, by any chance*?

Am I the only one who can't seem to get this to work? I have tried phh's superuser and I get ERROR 1. I've also tried SuperSU as well as Magisk and they seem to install but when going to the root checked app it says that root wasn't properly installed. Am I doing something wrong or are there other methods that will work?

Huawei Nova boot.img

Anyone have a stock boot.img that I can flash onto my Huawei nova as I have so far had no success with rooting after trying SuperSU, phh's Superuser, and Magisk. I want to try again flashing phh's Superuser after flashing the stock boot.img (to completely remove any SuperSU/Superuser/Magisk files that may of been installed although I don't have root access), as phh's Superuser is the only root that I know of that has worked for other Nova owners. It would also be very much appreciated if you could tell me what I have to type in the command prompt (adb/fastboot) on Windows to flash it on my phone.

Questions: -If anyone knows of any other rooting methods that work, please tell me and I will try them.

-Will flashing a stock boot.img cause my phone to wipe itself?

Sorry for the long post just wanted to make my situation as clear as possible so anyone willing to help me, can effectively.

[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MysteryMan105:
-I have the CAN-11 (Normal Huawei Nova, not Plus)

-I basically just want to root my phone, but whatever I do it doesn't work. I had Nougat, though an official OTA but I had to roll back after I entered a boot loop after installing the TWRP by Xelfmade (older version, as I tried rooting my phone already several months ago :( . I have since updated my TWRP)

-I did want to update back to Nougat but I when reading the forum by Jozinek (https://xdaforums.com/nova-plus/how-to/c432b320-android-7-0-available-try-t3527084) I don't think it's such a good idea as a couple people have been reporting problems (if you have done this successfully help would be nice)

-My phone is so far fine at the moment, it works just as normal, just can't root it. That's why I wanted to flash a stock boot.img as far as I know this will completely remove any root files on my device so I can't try again.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] virusdunil:
i have fully restore my MLA-L03 with this...BUT dunno IF and i insist on the IF its the right method for your phone...

DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK ;)

Youll have to find your firmware version try FirmwareFinder...

then extract BOOT.img from update.app (extract it on desktop) with Huawei update extractor...

then install minimal ADB... (should install in C: )

then put the extracted BOOT.img in ADB folder...

Then select adb.exe and open COMMAND window in ADB directory (write cmd in address bar)

then after adb, enter : fastboot flash boot BOOT.img

then hit enter...it should flash...

then reboot...

If someone else could confirm this method ;)
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MysteryMan105:

Hi guys. I have been studying the issue of rooting for Huawei Nova for a long time and see that a lot of work has been done, but success has not been achieved. on Motorola's bitmap, the beat is to defeat encryption and run root. Can this help us?

we cant even do backups...its all red of errors hehehe...

[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
You've forgot to mention that it happens on N :p. The problem has nothing to do wuth phh super su nor Magisk, the problem is related to encryption as far as I know. I've seen other recoveries with the same problem, but I've also seen one with decryption support. There you can see the following steps to decrypt:

1. Format /data inside of TWRP
2. Flash a kernel with forceencrypt disabled
3. bootup your device

When we format /data in TWRP on N, then it can be mounted, we can see the internal memory and we can take backup. However, when you reboot, you'll get into bootloop. So maybe a kernel with forceencrypt disabled will fix that. I may try it, but I don't know when. I'm tired of backing up my internal memory and bla bla bla.

Flashing screen while charging

Hi all,

does anybody experiences problems with root on Android N?

I can't charge the phone when is powered off because the screen flashes every second.

I used the root procedure in the thread but I think that this happens because the PHH's SU patches the boot and the animations are in boot.img. Is it right?

Plus, the battery animation is not shown anymore neither while the phone is on nor while is off.

Does anybody else have this problem?

Like [MENTION=3634667]virusdunil[/MENTION] said, you have to format /data, NOT wiping. Boot in TWRP recovery and choose Wipe > Format Data and type "yes". Note that this will wipe your entire internal storage too, so you better backup your stuff first to a PC or something.

So format data, then do the wipes like you did in the screenshot and then flash RR or any ROM you want.

Just to know, you have to format /data only when you're flashing it from EMUI 5. I'm sorry that I haven't mentioned this in the threads. I'll update them later.

[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
Not so misleading, as it is necessary to access data.

Some devices (caz for example, or any at emui 5) will not work after formating data, because it needs encryption to work. There is a backup here in the community to solve this problem though.

Many users already formated their data and could access internal memory in twrp. Please, take a full read here and you will see.

Just a tip: if you format /data after installing Magisk it'll boot. I think is working this way because dm-verity and forceencrypt gets disabled. I've tested myself some time ago and it works (installed magisk with patching boot.img method).

So:

1) Install Magisk (patching boot.img method, that's how I installed).

2) Backup your internal memory and format /data.

3) Reboot and set up your phone again.
