So if we don't wipe the data partition we could read it like before after root? And is the data encrypted afterwards?

Sorry for so many questions [emoji56]
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Xelfmade:
We can't read /data wether the phone is rooted or not..

The phone is encrypted as soon as you choose a locking method.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mrjuniork:
So I have to wipe it again, like it happened after unlocking the bootloader? Then I could plug it and copy the zip file on the internal storage to run it?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] -=MoRpH=-:
If u use the latest version, try the following steps:

-- First format /data

-- reboot the Recovery

-- copies the files from your pc to the internal storage

Kann mir bitte jemand helfen, damit ich raußfinden kann wo mein fehler ist, Vielen Dank schon mal

Hello everybody,

I have the Nova CAN-L11

Build: CAN-L11C432B320

EMUI: 5.0

I have followed everything exactly as described on page 1.

Nova is unlock and twrp is also installed, SU is installed and also the SU app is installed, but I simply do not get a ROOT.

I've already set it up so many times and done everything from scratch but unfortunately without success.

Can someone please help me so I can find where my fault is, Thank you ever
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mrjuniork:
Did you use the phh superuser app? Coz you mentioned SU, which is usually chainfires rooting method.

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

And which twrp build have you used?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Capper302:
this TWRP: twrp_huawei_hwcan_20170218.img

this SU: https://superuser.phh.me/superuser.zip

this SU-APP: Superuser 2.0 Beta 9.apk
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mrjuniork:
For successful root you gotta use this build:

twrp_huawei_generic_a53_20161222

After that, flashing the superuser.zip should give you the root access.

For what I know, SuperSU depends of the compress method of the kernel, which I don't't know if ours have right one

dude if i can't have acess to a pc can i do it directly from the phone??
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] wangdaning:
Are you asking if you need a PC to flash TWRP? Yes, you need something running Linux, Windows, or OSX. I would suggest you study a little more before attempting to do this. Not trying to be a jerk, but it might save you hassles down the road. It is a simple thing, but you need to know the basics of the process.

Question anyone. If I can manage to find a stock full version of MM/Emui 4 for a MLA-L03, is it not possible to wipe my partitions with twrp and then flash the stock recovery image from the MM version via PC and install it via 3 button recovery method from sdcard? Would that not allow MM to rewrite whatever partition sizes it needs too so it not fail installation?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mArIuS%:
Nop, because of smaller system partition you will not be able to flash Marshmallow. Huawei must release a tool to downgrade from N to M. Once you flashed N you are stuck with it. Huawei told to a xda user that they will release the tool within next weeks....so all we have to do is wait.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rednekcowboy:
I'm stuck in an infinite eRecovery loop. No matter what I try or what I do I can't get the phone to boot back into the OS. Anyone have any tips or tricks? Huawei is going to do an rma for me but I'm flying out on business for 2 weeks and really need this phone with me. It's an MLA-L03 that is oem unlocked (which is what I'm thinking is causing me the most issues as I can't do the normal button presses to get to certain things but I can't relock it as it says it can't be trusted or whatever)

I did manage to get to a point where I have full access to /data/ but no matter what rom I try to flash it fails with failing to mount /cust/

If I put an update.app it will get to 5% and hang until it fails when I do the button press to force an update. I cannot get to the emui factory reset screen.

PS, yes I know I'm a dumbass, so be gentle lol. I'm really desperate and have nothing to lose at this point so will to try anything.

Hi, did you try to flash original recovery.img from your firmware via fastboot? If not - you should try this.

I'm also trying to get root on nougat but I'm unsuccessful with phhs superuser.zip.

Edit:

I was now able to root my Nova CAN-L01 running on latest nougat C432B340.

I flashed the generic TWRP: twrp_huawei_generic_a53_20161222.img

I then flashed the superuser.zip and installed the phh superuser app from PlayStore.

Tada: Root works :)
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Rymcbc:
Hey a rollback app would be great! Do you have a link to the thread he was talking about it in?

I get that the system etc partitions as smaller on Nougat preventing the rollback but are we not able to completely delete the partitions and let MM rewrite the sizes upon installatiin? Or at least resize them with fast boot with the sizes from someone still on MM? Is there a flaw in my logic I'm not seeing here?

Like other guys said, its possible to downgrade to EMUI 4.1 by restoring a backup of EMUI 4.1 through TWRP recovery.

Ive downgraded successfully from EMUI 5 B340 to EMUI 4.1 by using this method.

Lets move this conversation to the thread about downgrading as we are going off topic here... I should have quoted you in that thread.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Rymcbc:
Of course that would work. Not sure why I didn't see that. Thanks a ton and I'll do some more research. Just have to find MLA-L03 or same partition sizes backups for twrp.

Need Help

I installed this recovery for my Huawei Nova in order to root it but every time I attempt to make a backup it's says that it's unable to mount /cache or storage and that I should try to format the data but that also fails due to the same problem. When I tried to reboot, TWRP said my files were no longer accessible or something like that and that I had to wipe in order to protect them but it was impossible as it was again unable to mount data. I then had to enter eRecovery and it says that my paritions were seriously damaged. My phone then wiped itself and now works... What should I do now?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
I don't know what's the problem, but I'm using the TWRP by Grarak and didn't have any problem. I've been able to backup and restore many times, but also formatting /data.

If I remember properly, I could backup and restore with this TWRP too.

Anyway, here's TWRP by Grarak: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120713827 .
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MysteryMan105:
Thanks for helping me out, I just got a couple of questions.

I just want to ask, just to make sure, if it's compatible with a Huawei Nova (not Plus) and if I need to remove my previous version of TWRP (if so, if you could help me through the process that would be very much appreciated) or if it just overwrites the other version.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
You welcome!

It is made for CAN-L01, but it works on CAN-L11 too (my model). So it's made for Nova (not plus).

You can simply install this one and it will overwrite automatically.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
Whoaa, that's a huge post :D You should have used hide tags like I did when I quoted you now or give a link to that reply. Anyway, don't worry about that.

I had problems with formatting data too, but I don't remember how I got rid of that error or what I wanted to do lol. But as far as I remember I could format data with the recovery by Grarak.

1) So, did you try to backup only /system, /data and /boot?

2) If I'm not wrong, the option "Format data" from TWRP > Wipe, will wipe internal memory too. I don't remember properly, so I could be wrong.

3) I've rooted my Nova by flashing phh Superuser. Here's a direct link to download it: https://superuser.phh.me/superuser.zip.

As I've said, I've done a backup before without problems. I'm sorry, but I kinda don't have any other idea...

However, would be nice if you'll post the solution here if you manage to do the backup as there may be other people which will encounter same problem like you.

Hello

Is there any possibility now to access system on nougat?

I mean installing busybox after rooting or mounting system RW

That's what keeps me on N till now
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MysteryMan105:
[MENTION=4471434]#Henkate[/MENTION] I just now backed up my "system", "data" and "boot" in TWRP after formatting data but afterwards when I typed adb devices in the command prompt it displayed my serial number and next to it "unauthorized". I looked it up and found that you would have to enable USB debugging, I thought this could be the reason as I had wiped my device and maybe I had to re-enable it. I then proceeded to reboot my device but it just showed me "device is booting" and was stuck on that screen. I then returned to TWRP and restored to the backup I had just made and now when I try to boot it, I am just sent into Huawei eRecovery. I then followed then clicked "Download latest version and recovery" but it failed. Now I have a device that wont reboot, do you have any idea what could of happened cuz it was working just fine before formatting the data and creating a backup...
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Rymcbc:
You have a blank data after you restore. Hence no boot as your backup is after you wiped it blank. If you are CAN-L01 or maybe even CAN-L11 you can find bluesmoothies twrp backup of a proper data backup and use it to be able to restore and boot. If not like myself as a MLA-L03 you need to put your full OS update.app into your dl folder on your SD card and three bottun boot to reinstall it. That's what worked for me when I was once at your point exactly.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
If you have CAN-L11, then download the TWRP backup of EMUI 4.1 made by [MENTION=6009323]bluesmoothie[/MENTION] and restore it.

Below is the quote of my PM sent to someone who wanted to downgrade from EMUI 5 to EMUI 4.1, but I've edited the steps since you already have unlocked bootloader and TWRP by Grarak. There you find the download link too. "Click to show content".

I've used this backup myself to downgrade. In fact, I'm still running on that backup at this moment.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MysteryMan105:
Do I have to download everything or just the folder titled TWRP as it already has the folder titled "1970-03-18--16-40-58_CANC432B100" inside?

When I did it I backed up everything but data from my device and just added the data backup portion from [MENTION=6009323]bluesmoothie[/MENTION] . I have CAN-AL10 and it worked fine for me.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MysteryMan105:
I did wipe everything but sd card but that also meant wiping my internal storage which contained my TWRP backup. It had then wiped even the TWRP folder that was on my device. After this I just re-flashed TWRP and then I got those folders back. I then added the Backup you sent me to the backups and then folder with my device serial number and now I am restoring with that folder....

I will tell you when it is done.

[MENTION=4471434]#Henkate[/MENTION],Thanks a lot for helping me through my very first root, I cant thank you enough. I installed the TWRP backup and my nova finally rebooted. Its kind of a shame that it is still running android 6 but I guess the custom recovery doesn't support it. After I rebooted I installed the Root Checker app and it said that "Root access isn't installed properly on this device." Sorry for all the questions :D, but I'm not so sure what went wrong and need your help again.

Thanks again for everything.

I don't know. It was made mainly for CAN-L01, but it works on L11 too.

You can try it and report. If something goes wrong, you can fastboot the stock one.

If I'm not wrong, someday I've seen a comment saying that LOS13 has been installed on that MLA and probably with that recovery since there isn't any other. I repeat, if I'm not wrong.

[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Messenjah4:
Thats what I need to know as well. I tried it but after I flashed the recovery to twrp I need to put in the decryption password which I don´t have. If I do a format of the data partition (as it is suggested here somewhere) and try to install the SU zip it doesn´t work (failed to install zip) and additionally the os will not but normally because Android detects that the enryption is not properly configured. So even if the su.zip could be installed i couldn´t run Android unless I do a factory reset where I can start again from beginning.

My problem is that Huawei Nova did a factory reset really unexpacted which caused the loss of all my pictures and videos. My plan is to get the device rootet and try to recover them with some of the data recovery tools which can be found on web.

Does anybody know if this will work? Since the devices are encrypted by default maybe there is no chance anymore to get to my files? Maybe anyone has another idea?

hey,

i really dont know what happend but i think my phone is dead.

i followed the steps exactly as stated and its also not my first time rooting and flashing phones, ive done it a lot in the past, it was just my first huawei.

i unlocked the bootloader and after i flashed the recovery my phone now shows the unlocked bootloader screen for a second and turns off aggain.

i cant access either fastboot mode nor recovery.

anyone with a magical suggestion or is it just gone for good? I just bought it yesterday :/

Hello everyone,

First, thank you to Xelfmade and everyone who take the time to look into those projets and problems, and who can help us newbie out there : )

I have a Huawei Nova CAN L-01, EMUI 4.1, Android 6.0. I would like to install Magisk on it, so as to be able to pass the SafetyNet test while still having root access when needed. I have successfully unlocked my bootloader.

When I tried to install TWRP (20170218), I was met with a screen asking me for a password. I hit "cancel", and tried to see if I could backup my stock rom, but I could not, since apparently I was in read-only mode. After I system-rebooted, when I tried to enter the recovery mode again, I realized that it was replaced by the stock recovery. I would like to know which procedure to follow in order to have a working TWRP, that would allow me to make a backup of my stock ROM, and then install Magisk.

I have read the current 24 pages of this thread. From what I could underestand, my problem is caused by the fact that my phone has encrypted the /data partition, and that TWRP cannot decrypt it. I have read that one possibility would then be to format the /data partition, or to use a TWRP created by Garak instead of Xelfmade.

Would it be possible for someone to tell me what to do in order to reach my objective? If I use Xelfmade's TWRP, should I use the 20170217 build? What to do when I meet the screen asking me for a password? Would reformatting the /data partition alter the quality of a stock ROM backup performed by TWRP afterwards?

Thank you for your time,

Pavel
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] wangdaning:
I can tell you that Magisk does not work on this device. I don't think it is able to patch the boot partition. I gave up after it failing every time I tried, couple attempts on each of the last few Magisk builds. Passing safenet is not important where I live so I never followed up. You could post on the Magisk dev thread with our boot.img and see if they can fix it.

As far as mounting data, you are partially correct. You need to format /data and then restore it in twrp from the backup made by [MENTION=6009323]bluesmoothie[/MENTION] . It is a in thread somewhere, but I cannot remember where.
