Ok. The recoveries seem to be the same between the B138 versions. File size match, but CRC-32 does not...

L09C432B138 and L29C432B138 have the same recovery.

L29C185B138 and L29C636B138 have the same.

B167 is 1mb larger than the rest.

I guess you could try and see. Worst case your recovery won't boot. But flashing back TWRP fixes that.

flash with 'fastboot flash recovery image.img'.

LMK if they work.

Will do when I get the chance. This is off topic, but it's an important problem to me. I'm sure most of you have seen that 3rd party music players don't stay on the lockscreen except when a new song starts. I've been told there is a way to fix the problem by "whitelisting" the 3rd party music apps by composing an XML file that does exactly that. I have no experience at any of this, so I need help from the more able people.

Stock recovery booted for the MHA-L29C567B167 version! :good:

Thank You very much.

Now,as for attempting to fix my phone w/the update,I'll check back in later.

For now,the updating isn't loading up,hopefully,it's just a waiting game..............

I can't get it to work either. Im using the app NiLS for this, which does the job great.

Ah, you're not getting the OTA? Did you get it before or were you hoping it would be there now? It is rolling out, so you could just try updating with Firmware Finder. There's a thread in Guides (for B138 but works for any version) on how you use it. As long as Huawei has authenticated the OTA for you it should work.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] KOLIOSIS:
Firmware Finder downloaded it,but,when I tried to install via system updates, nothing.

I just got home from work & put the phone on the charger,it was getting low trying to install,using different backups & installing.

I'll be back on in about a hour or two & make sure I have everything lined up properly.

How to do that
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ante0:
Did it give any errors?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] KOLIOSIS:
I tried both eRecovery,which just goes to 5% & fails.

The stock recovery just has the wipe cache/factory reset/reboot options.

Once off the charger, I'll ensure that I have the folders under /data/hw as you suggested.

Yup. Could you compose the line for Spotify and SoundCloud? I have absolutely no idea what they're talking about when it comes to formatting the string. Also, do you accept donations?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ante0:
I still don't get any music controls :( only app that shows that is Music. And can't set Spotify as default music app. This needs more investigating. All emui5 roms seem to have the same problem, not just Mate 9.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Abumarf:
Definitely needs more investigation. Or Huawei could actually address the problem that is universal on Emui 5.0, hopefully it's fixed on 5.1 and we get that soon.

Just got the update Seattle WA
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] KOLIOSIS:
Slight topic drift,but,I changed my TWRP Backups to reflect the /data/hw init folder changes you previously listed & using stock recovery.

Still nothing using the EMUI Update app.

When I use Firmware Finder,the download keeps exceeding 100% & never stops downloading (very weird).

Also tried installing UPDATE.APP via dialer code,same fail % 5%.

FWIW,the camera related apps that are corrupted are the following:

com.android.frameworkres.overlay (0B)

com.android,gallery3d.overlay (0B)

com.huawei.camera (0B)

com.huawei.fido.uafclient (0B)

com.huawei.hwasm (0B)

com.qeexo.smartshot (0B)

IDK if someone could extract these .apks.

If so,I would appreciate it,see if it sticks/fixes my camera.

If this fails & I don't get the update pushed overnight,I'll use FunkyHuawei as soon as I get access to a router that allows DNS settings to be changed/set (I have a weird Spectrum/Time-Warner supplied router,will be replacing ASAP).

Regardless of the outcome,many THX [MENTION=2247733]ante0[/MENTION],the help is very much appreciated. :good:
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Abumarf:
Quick question. For Firmware Finder, did you create the APN for it as instructed by the video instructions? Mine was doing the same thing until I created the APN, applied it, initiated the download and switched back as soon as it started. After that it works fine. Even now, it still works fine, just TWRP that doesn't recognize the update
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] KOLIOSIS:
Thank You for following along.

I forgot about the proxy settings on my WI-FI Connection & needed to check the FIRMWARE FINDER app settings so that I can get the full firmware download.

Thank You very much,d/l the full firmware now. :good:

FWIW, I flashed the stock recovery beforehand & I'm still rooted,not sure if using stock recovery helped in this particular situation....
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Abumarf:
No problem, it would be easiest to use cellular data as APN is very quick and you can even save it for next time. All you have to do is start the download on the APN and then you can switch back to normal and even use Wi-Fi. I hope it works out for you
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] KOLIOSIS:
I apparently managed to get the full download installed,but,it booted into recovery afterwards & the update failed.

Now,the WI-FI proxy settings aren't working,to try again.

I haven't seen anything regarding APN settings, could you please post a link,or,just list the setting changes here?

TIA....

In the moments preceding, I managed to get the download started again on WI-FI.

I'll watch the video while that's in progress.

Just in case I'm spinning my wheels here,does it matter if I'm rooted/bootloader unlocked?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Abumarf:
I don't believe it matters as I'm fully rooted with an unlocked bootloader and was able to use it. Only problem for me was the recovery not being stock. Let me know what happens for you.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] KOLIOSIS:
What problem did you run into?

Did you need to install the stock recovery beforehand?

I did just that & the update has failed twice.

It's getting late, I'll check back in tomorrow evening Thank you for all of your efforts! :good:
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ante0:
Try one of the other 2 recoveries if it keeps failing. It should still install but you never know. And regarding Funky... If you have a computer with both a wire and wireless you can set up a Hotspot on it and change the DNS of your wired connection, that way you won't have to change anything in your router. That's what I had to do as I can't change the DNS in my router.

I used a software named Connectify.

I had to pay when I unlocked, couldn't get past the login page. Now I actually get to the part where you fill in your imei :eek:

And DC Unlocker you have to pay to use.

They're not for updating, just to get system apps back. You can't update unless you get it as an OTA or using FunkyHuawei (which costs money to use)

No, it won't work.

You can however try with the app Firmware Finder in the play store, people have successfully updated with it and it's free.

Instructions should be in it (You need to set up a proxy on your phones wifi). I have not used it to update so can't help you more than that :/

Seriously this stuff screwed my phone up. I'm not bricked or anything, but your lack of instructions really made things a mess. After flashing to decrypted boot image I rebooted. When I rebooted I was greeted with a screen saying that something happened during the boot process and that I needed to factory reset. I couldn't get around it. There was no option to cancel or anything. So I did the factory reset and it happened through TWRP since there is no stock recovery now. Now I have apps missing, some of my fingerprints were still there somehow, everything is just messed up. When posting things like this, you really need to tell people HOW to flash something. Leaving a post that just says "fastboot flash the boot image" doesn't help anyone. Try telling them how to flash it.

I'd like some help though since I followed your lack of instructions and now my phone is jacked up. I am a recognized contributor and was a ROM developer for about 4 years. I definitely know what I'm doing. Everything was fine until I flashed your B138 boot image.

I made everything that has been listed in the first post, step by step.

The title of this thread says that there will be FULL root access granted.

Now the point is, that Titanium Backup isn't getting ANY root access. I also tried clearing cache and data of Titanium Backup as well as PHH's Superuser app.

Nothing works at all. I wish Titanium Backup was working so i could get my data (apps and their configurations) from the old phone to my new one.

Yeah, full root. I've flashed and rebranded my phone more times than I can count while testing roms etc. Each time I had full root when I did what I stated in the OP. Root Explorer, Adaway, everything is working and I have full access to system, cust and all partitions.

I also remember someone complaining about Titanium backup while using phh superuser.

[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ante0:
I'm curious as to why it doesn't want to work. It can't be Busybox because TiBu uses its own busybox.

[MENTION=1438963]nitrate[/MENTION] can you go into a terminal and just type "su", see if you get the Superuser dialog.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] vipivj:
One thing to add. Someone mentioned in some other thread (don't remember exactly but it was when I started searching on mate 9) that the beta superuser is far better than phh superuser. This was the reason I installed from the zip instead of Playstore. Also the phh user was not even updated after 2016 jan when I last checked. This was another reason for me to try beta one.

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

The only thing that doesn't work for me is V4A. I followed xda thread and tried but in vein. May be I can use some help from you dear [MENTION=2247733]ante0[/MENTION].
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ante0:
They are the "same" though, one is regular, one is beta :P Both are PHH Superuser.

But yeah. And I think he already tried that, because he PM'd me yesterday and I told him to try it and he said it still doesn't work.

He even flashed back stock boot and tried superroot.

That's why I'd like to see if su in terminal works, because if it doesn't su didn't install.

I have not used V4A but I could check and see if I can make any sense of it.

Ok, tested V4A. It freezes on the first dialogue. Waited a while and it said it installed driver. Rebooted... Open up and it wants to install it again. So it failed.

I read some of the posts in its xda thread and you'd need to set SELinux to permissive.

And it seems to use su.d so we'd need SuperSU as well.

On TiBu fully licensed you do have to set backup for under preferences and play around with the type of filesystem out of the 4 choices. Just detecting and forgetting gets an allow access prompt and immediate restore of backed up apps, but did not make it work reliably for scheduled backups.

Terminal -> "su" [ENTER] gives a root request. So this actually works.

Btw: this is what RootBeer gives me back: https://picload.org/image/rlorpcoi/screenshot_20170305-123419.png

Now the thing is:

Before i decrypted boot, Titanium Backup had root access and was working.

Trying to re-encrypt boot and root / try Titanium Backup, still gives "no root" message while it did have it once.

Next thing:

RootBeer says that there is no BusyBox binary installed while Stericsons BusyBox installer says that there definitely IS BusyBox v1.26.2.YDS installed (it's not coming from Stericson).

Trying to install the BusyBox binary by Stericson seems to work as it says "installed successfully". But it doesn't change anything within RootBeer which tells me that there still is no BusyBox binary installed.

What i'd like to know: The exact procedure upon flashing boot images.

The thing is that whenever i want to flash a zip, it returns Error code 1 which isn't the case when i flashed the boot image before. Then it will just flash the zip without any error.

Do i have to wipe every time i flash the boot.img file?

[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ante0:
When you want to flash Superuser again you have to flash back stock boot (or decrypted boot if you don't use SuperRoot). Superuser patches the boot image when you flash it, if it's already edited it will give you an error.

Also check Phh superuser so you haven't denied su access for TiBu :)
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] nitrate:
Wait a sec...

Stock boot (encrypted) + Superuser.zip = Titanium Backup had root access (after decrypting boot, it didn't gain root anymore - even after re-encrypting).

Superuser app (i installed the Beta) doesn't have TiBu listed in any of the categories / protocols.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ante0:
First try uninstalling BusyBox, then run Tibu again. But if you had that busybox installed before when Tibu worked its probably not it. Or it could be. If it finds busybox in /system/xbin it might think su should be there too. So test that first.

And rootbeer is confusing. The red x:ses means it found su/busybox etc, and in your screenshot it shows as found.

I have the latest stericson BusyBox installed but tibu still uses its internal version.

And in the screenshot of Tibu it looks like it looks for su in /system/xbin/, but it's actually in /sbin/su.

If that fails as well you could try making a symlink from /sbin/su to /system/xbin/su

So, just for clarity because I had HUGE problems with this phone so far;

Steps 1-3 are no problem;

Step 4: When I flash the decrypted boot, do I flash it from Fastboot or from TWRP?

Step 5: Do I need to reboot after flashing the boot, before I flash Superuser? Should I do that from FB or TWRP?

Step 6: Any wipe required at this point? Or is this the point that I can re-load my apps etc?

I tried flashing the decrypted boot before and it launched me into a black screen with only the navigation bars, I had to use funky to repair the damage.

I'm on MHA-L09C432B156, which you've already decrypted in this thread, I think.

Thanks for any help if you can give it!
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ante0:
Flash both boot and superuser from twrp.

Make sure you tap back to twrp start screen after Format Data, then tap reboot - reboot recovery. Then flash decrypted boot and superuser.

You don't need to wipe after that. You will probably need to flash HW data and Public data for your model though as those get lost after formatting data.
