[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] slingblade01:
Hi,

Apparently, I'm misunderstanding something. I'm trying to root my 2XL. I have unlocked the phone successfully, I believe. I have the notification screen at bootup. When I get to the task of flashing a factory image, I get the Failed notification, "FAILED (remote: Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions)". This occurs after ... writing 'bootloader_b'.

I was able to get Magisk installed but only 14.0 and I don't have root.

I haven't rooted anything in over 5 years so most of this stuff is pretty foreign.

Any advice would be welcome.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Without details from you, we can't help you. For example, are you on the latest update? What else did you try? What worked for you and what didn't? Seriously, we can't read your mind. We can't see your phone. We can't perform miracles. It's a bit tiresome to have to ask you for things you should have already provided so we CAN help you.

Since you haven't given any details for anyone to go on, all I can tell you is that depending on the version of Android you are running, the "unlock critical" command may no longer be required, in which case you will get a message when executing the command.

I'm fairly new to the XL 2, coming form a Nexus 6P this is quite the learning curve.

I'm looking to update to Oreo 8.1 now that it's live. I'm currently bootloader unlocked (not critical), twrp not installed, November update, rooted with magisk, stock kernel. What would be my best course o f action to update to 8.1? Thanks in advance for the help.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Former 6p guy as well. The learning curve isn't that bad, just takes a lot of reading is all. As far as updating, you'll need to unlock critical so you can update your bootloader. Unfortunately, it'll wipe your phone. After that, since your phone has been wiped, might as well flash the new 8.1 with the flash-all.bat script in fastboot mode. Then, after you set up your phone, go ahead and root it again :good:

Hi. I have just rooted my Pixel 2 XL with Magisk after reading the guides here on XDA. This is my first Android phone and my first time rooting so I'm trying to figure out the update situation here. How would I go about installing version 8.1 when I get the OTA update for it? Would I have to wipe my device again and reinstall Magisk?

On a side note, does anyone know if MinMinGuard on systemless Xposed breaks SafetyNet?

Thanks in advance.

Can you install OTA with unlocked bootloader?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8751078:
Thanks. Would this remove all of my data?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dyingearth:
OTA does not remove your data. What you do want to do is to download the factory image to get the 8.1 boot.img after you're done with OTA. You can then follow instruction on rooting it.

Basically to apply 8.1 OTA, get the previous boot.img and reapply it to your phone:

Unroot:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

Apply OTA

download the OTA zip

follow instruction at https://developers.google.com/android/ota for apply ota

Reroot

download 8.1 image. extract it to get boot.img.

follow instruction for magisk
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] nitin.chobhe:
This looks good. But for following section:

Unroot:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

can I get only the stock 8.0 boot.img (I would like to avoid downloading 1 GB+ of stock 8.0 image to get 50 MB of boot.img, if that's possible at all)?

Oh I see an option in Magisk Manager, never mind my question :)

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Cowbell_Guy:
Did it work?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bb709394:
The quickest and simplest way to update your phone monthly:

- download the stock taimen image for current month

- unzip and edit the 'flash-all.bat' file by removing/deleting the '-w' from the code. Removing the '-w' ensures that your data is NOT wiped

- boot into bootloader and run the 'flash-all' script from your adb folder

- after it completes the update, let the phone boot into Android

- restart and boot into TWRP. Note: decryption is broken for some people (like me), you will need to remove your PIN code before booting into TWRP

- flash Magisk 19.3 or whatever you prefer (and any additional apps you such as Vanced YouTube, etc.)

- Reboot into rooted phone

- Add your PIN code (or whatever security measure you want to use)

If you need a more detailed information, please check the main rooting thread.

[Guide] Huawei P10 Plus Debrand/Rebrand/Update for Oreo&Nougat "Updated 25.03.2018"

[Guide] Huawei P10 Plus Debrand/Rebrand/Update for Oreo&Nougat

This thread will be discontinued, because Huawei refuses to provide unlock codes in the future, because of security reasons.

A shame that after the support end of the device it will be quite useless, cause you don´t get any security updates and have no chance to make secure again, by flashing someting else.

I recommend you not buy any Huaweidevices in the future cause of that.

Here´s my P10 Guide, the steps are the same for the P10 Plus: Huawei P10 Plus Debrand/Rebrand/Update for Oreo&Nougat

Just use the following files for the P10 Plus instead:

TWRP for P10 Plus

@AndroidFilehost: HWOTA_VKY-L29C432_B365.zip (Oreo) MD5: 0858c05a98053ad5043dfaf7041ec54e

Doesn't work on a converted single sim UK P10 plus to dual sim. Used this method to go back to B123 to get the phone to work. It was showing a different model number each time I tried to update to B177 using this method.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
Did you already use this method before? Seems you messed up with the 1 of the 3 updatefiles. Especially the update_all_hw.zip which is only for the l29 or l09.

Did you try to update via firmware finder and did you make check with imei in that tool? That should fix your problems, if you use the FullOTA.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] abdulhamid1978:
The FULLOTA in firmware finder says 'The firmware is not approved for installation'.

I have VKY-L09C432 which I converted to VKY-L29C432 and was on B170. I used the 3 update files from the the link you provided in step 2 'HWOTA_VKY-L29C432_B177.zip'. Was I supposed to change any of these files?
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] LwannaCM:
No, i think you just haven´t read the guide carefully. In firmwarefinder choose an older one, that is approved for installation.
[Huawei P10 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] abdulhamid1978:
I am back on L29C432B170 via normal OTA.

Probably messed up on 2. Run the update.bat file from a preopended CMD with adminrights, It will ask you if you copied the files. Press any key to continue.

I just ran update.bat file as an administrator. That was the only thing I did differently to the guide.

No connection to the mobile network after rebranding

Hi

I went through all your described steps and everything worked fine. However, I've got a strange problem.

I have different SIM cards available (multiple mobiles), but only one (prepaid from croatia) is working after the procedure. The ones from Vodafone Germany and Swisscom do not work.

They work fine on other mobiles. Everything else is working fine on the P10+. The SIMs not working, are displayed in the phone, but will not connect to the mobile network of any provider.

No available networks are listed. Both SIM-slots tested.

Any idea, where the problem could come from?

My current model is VKY-L09C432B177.

When I finished procedure at the end it will be same b177 or nrd90m?

Also, if it requires some new firmware from Ffinder I can not upgrade becayse b177 is the last one. So, twice time same firmware will not pass, I suppose...based from my experience with P9 lite....

On step 16 it is based on three buttons metode-forced method right, or like regular ota update?
