Nice job on red TWRP...flashed and working great ;)
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] babysocola1x:
not working on EMUI 5

we have to password to encrypt Data .... (lol no one know pw )

So we have to format Data like you said ....

Thanks for updates.

And waiting your kenel.:)
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] To Young:
Do not know whether he supports Chinese? The red UI is cool and I want to try ?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] babysocola1x:
just trying ... no problem ... u can reflash old version :)
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
If you meant chinese language, then it doesn't have it as far as i can see. If you meant the chinese model of Nova, well it should work on all models.

Just like [MENTION=8088433]babysocola1x[/MENTION] said, you can try.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] To Young:
Thank you ?

---------- Post added at 10:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 AM ----------

I mean Chinese, I will try it
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Axims:
Nice, but how to make a nandroid backup ?

it dosnt mount any storage, i've even tried otg using a usb flash drive.

what gives?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
I don't have any problem with backups. I've made backups and restored them without any problem. As for OTG, I don't have the possibility to test that.

Please share the recovery log.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Axims:
Well, seems the sd card was buggy, replaced it with a new samsung evo and

everything went smooth from there. (seems ext sd is the only selectable storage).

Now, have you noticed the warning about "project" part during backup?

is it normal?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
I'm not sure what you mean and I don't remember seeing this, but it's also possible that I've just missed it.

Could you share a screenshot? You can take screenshots in recovery just like you do when your phone is booted. You can also share a recovery log.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Axims:
Actually, It's Product no Project!

I PM'd you the recovery.log

nothing important I guess?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
I haven't received any PM. Maybe it's XDA's fault as it looks like it's fucked up. All my posts were delayed today and noticed the same thing at other users.

Well, I didn't have this problem, but /product has some files (like acdbata, needed for audio) which EMUI uses and LineageOS or other ROMs too (since it's using blobs from EMUI). So, this could be a problem for ROMs like Lineage, but I think you can just fastboot the product.img after you extract it from update.app (stock firmware).

You can also try to restore this TWRP backup of product partition and restore it.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Axims:
Thanks, as you may read the log later, it gave 2 errors at beginning and the end that it could not read or open Product. something like that.

I'm still on B151 MM Rom , will this backup of product work with any version?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Axims:
Ok , my fear came true, long story short: I installed latest rom via FF app and bootloop began.

tried many ways, didnt work. flashed twrp again and tried to restore that nandroid backup, turns out those 2 errors were serious: failed to mount cust, failed to mount product, system goes near end then another error and quits. only boot and data seems restored fine.

while i'm going to try that smoochi's backup (bless him) , can you please recheck to see if my case was some isolated issue or there is something to fix about this reccovery?

thanks
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] virusdunil:
Hi...youve learned the lesson...never install from FF...ive been using twrp for quite a while on my nova plus and never had such problems except once cuz i tried to restore a backup that ive done format/data...then got into bootloop..

What are you planning to use...emui4 or 5 ?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Axims:
I was on emui 4 (B151) everything was fine until I got an itch to try android 7!

Ok, I restored with smoochi backup then updated to B341 , now cust is gone

(no update in setting either) so went to reflash this twrp , but it seems unlocking bootloader is not enough, now says FRP locked! wtf??

I already hate this android 7! I'll get back to 6 first chance i get !
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] virusdunil:
I had same problem...theme manager not working...file and updade manager gone so...

Frp locked is OEM unlock in developement...it must be ON...

Im still on emui4 and will stay on it ?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Axims:
yeah buddy, stay there! 4 is the best, for now.

I dont have that oem unlock in developer option?? (never had be4)

any solution ?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] virusdunil:
Youre shure its not there ??...

Hummm...maybe re update your device with original firmware with update.app in dload on sd card...
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Axims:
I mean its there, but grayed out. disabled

in fastboot says phone unlocked FRP locked.

cant flash anything.

....................

Update: ok, found out how so i'm going to share ,might be useful for others:

just after flashing new fw ,before unlocking bootloader, go to settings , enable dev options and there enable OEM-Unlocking. then you can proceed to unlock phone, seeing both FRP and Phone are in red.

Sorry Henkate, for some offtopic posts.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ben3344:
hello, I can not mount the usb OTG, and i can not manually select it in the mount menu

Is there a way to solve this problem. I really need it to directly store my 10GB backup.

for info my cle usb works well, moreover it is mounted on the android aospex
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
Hello!

Please take a recovery log (from TWRP menu) and share it here so I can see what's wrong.

Work on nova plus(mla-l11c185)?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
It should work on all models.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] meskafonas:
Hello :)

Right now i have installed twrp 3.0.3-0 (twrp_huawei_hwcan_20170218) and it gives me encryption problem i guess. it keep asking me for password when i reboot recovery or try to do backup. Princscreen made with 3.0.3 version.

https://images2.imgbox.com/42/8c/sJmYpC6m_o.png

Is it safe to upgrade in 3,1,1-0 version?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
This one has the same problem. You need to format /data (format, not wipe) and that will wipe your internal memory, so you better backup it before doing it.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] meskafonas:
Ok i did as you said "format /data" but problem is still the same. Still asking for password. My phone Nova CAN11. Also recovery takes longer to boot when previous one. :)

https://images2.imgbox.com/dc/1e/3wJFb1TH_o.png
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
Have you rebooted back to recovery after you've format /data? I've forgot to tell you about this before. If you already did this, then i don't know. Maybe i'll try to look into it, but it's not on my list of priorities.

There was one with decryption support posted by [MENTION=7448452]Temanyan[/MENTION] in the old TWRP thread. Try to look for that.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] meskafonas:
[MENTION=4471434]#Henkate[/MENTION] i wish you said it before, but oh well at least you said it now haha :D "reboot back to the recovery" after format data did the trick. Can you confirm from a new screenshots if now i have good working twrp? :) Thank you in advance <3

[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
Well, I've forgot. I'm sorry.

Yes, it looks fine now.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] meskafonas:
BTW i tested this twrp on EMUI 5.

Also would like to know which one ROOT method do you recommend (Phh's superuser vs MAGISK 15)? :cowboy:
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
Here's my opinion:
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] meskafonas:
[MENTION=4471434]#Henkate[/MENTION] can you help? today i tried restore via twrp and my phone reboot at huawei logo. I still can enter into twrp. :( dont know how to fix it
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
Try to wait about 10-15 mins if you've restored emui 5 backup from other ROM like los14. You can also try to do a factory reset (simply swipe after you go to wipe menu) or as last resort format data (this wipes your internal memory), but this "denies" the purpose of a backup...

I don't have other ideas.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] meskafonas:
After 10 hours of pain to fix a brick i kinda recovered it with stock recovery + stock rom + dload method from memory card. Now in phone settings there no "system update" option and my security patch is 2017.08, while before brick it was 2018.01. I tried all day to upgrade patch version to the newest supported to my model, but after 42% in screen shows up error failed to install. What can i do? :)
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
Try this. When i've went back to emui 5, i was installing B382 firmware and then updating to latest through Firmware Finder (FF) app from Play Store. Keep in mind that sometimes the latest firmware from FF can't be downloaded / installed as it's not approved by Huawei yet and you have to wait some time.

If you'll update through FF to latest firmware, then follow this guide (from "steps"). Note that some of the steps might be different for the latest FF app but you'll manage. The following steps are important as whenever i was trying to update with FF it was downloading continuously the same size, but it got fixed with those:
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] meskafonas:
Few hours ago i have fixed phone and now everything is updated as suppose to be. Just forgot to post here ;)

Yeah i installed rolback rom with dload from 4pda russian site and when jumped for newer version b381. After that i used FF via proxy and now i have latest version ;)

Also i decided not to install twrp anymore because i had problems with installing busybox for luckypatcher. Probably due encryption and didnt want to format data again.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ben3344:
hello, I finally solved the problem of USB OTG.

in fact, it was because of the file system NTFS, when I reformatted my usb key in EXFAT in the TWRP, it worked, I am very happy.

thank you again Mr HENKATE for your ROMs and your TWRP.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rintintin78:
Hi,

I have L01C55 (wich is TIM branded Huawei Nova). I would Debrand my phone.

I would change the custom.bin and oeminfo.img for Europe.

Have you got custom.bin and oeminfo.img for Europe?

Thanks
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] belgarion5555:
Hi guys,

I've just received thé Huawei nova 4gb ram and 64gb rom Can-l12 and it work really good !

It run with emui 4.1 and i don't like it... I was wondering if this twrp work with m'y Phone and (sorry wrong topic) if there is any custom rom out there ?

Third and final question : anyone got an official update for emui 5.0 ? I like this version ^^.

Have a Nice day ! :)
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
Hello!

This TWRP and the ROMs were initially built for CAN-L11 (the model I've owned), but people confirmed that's working on the other models too. I don't remember if there was a feedback from a CAN-L12 user, but it's supposed to work on the all models.

Have a nice day as well!
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] belgarion5555:
Thanks for your answer ! I juste found what i searched for one week : FIRMWARE FINDER HUAWEI !!!!!!!!! Thank god i got emui 5.0 and android 7.0.1 !!!!! Those guys are the best. I'll try this twrp later. ^^
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
You'll have to format /data in TWRP (format, not wipe!) on EMUI 5 because decryption isn't working in this TWRP (didn't try to fix it and my phone is broken anyway). If you format /data, your internal memory will be wiped, so you better backup your stuff before. Keep this in mind.

As a side note, there is (or was) a recovery posted by [MENTION=7448452]Temanyan[/MENTION] in the other TWRP thread which supports decryption on EMUI 5 and you don't have to format /data. Check that thread or his posts.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] SamBurger:
hey folks,

do i need the gapps when i flash just the recovery or don't i?

would you recommendnthe flash it on a clean (after factory reset) device?

thank you
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
You can flash only the recovery and it doesn't matter if you flash it on a clean device or not. Keep in mind the message you've quoted.

You can use TWRP 3.2.3-0 too, which is newer and supports Oreo.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] SamBurger:
i appreciate your fast response
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] cahsobo:
Help [MENTION=4471434]#Henkate[/MENTION] I flashed this on my CAN-L01 and it returns to error everytime I flash zip or magisk module

[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
Try to flash the TWRP you've used before, format /data, then flash the new TWRP.

I'll fix the decryption of TWRP soon.

EDIT: [MENTION=3548517]cahsobo[/MENTION] i didn't build any 3.0.3 recovery before, so you've probably used the one left by Grarak (I don't remember if it had the same version though). Also, you can use TWRP 3.2.3 made for Oreo too.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] cahsobo:
Ah.. I See.. The one that delete his post. Unfortunately I don't have the original file. Any mirror?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
Here. Again, I don't remember if Grarak's one was 3.0.2 too as you've mentioned. The other 3.0.2 is by Xelfmade.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] cahsobo:
I've tried to flash [MENTION=6159005]Xelfmade[/MENTION]'s 3.0.3. Still no luck. I guess I just have to be patiently waiting for you to fix the decryption
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
what option from twrp are you using?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] cahsobo:
at first I flashed TWRP 3.1.1-0 by [MENTION=4471434]#Henkate[/MENTION] from inside TWRP 3.0.3 (if I'm not mistaken)

it says failed to mount /product and sometimes /vendor

then I tried to install magisk module and failed. I went back to 3.0.3 by [MENTION=6159005]Xelfmade[/MENTION] and even 3.0.2 by [MENTION=4443334]Grarak[/MENTION]

still couldn't install magisk module in either TWRP or magisk manager

then I found out the internal memory was encrypted..

I can go back to 3.0.2 and wipe data, and the internal went back normal (/data 90%++ free space. It was only 30%ish when it was still encrypted)

But still, magisk broken.. can't install any module..
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
first, to remove encryption, you have to use the option format data. See, it is not a wipe data, or wipe internal data, or factory reset. Is format data. It will ask you to type "yes" to confirm you want to format it.

This is to solve the encryption part. Secondly, magisk doesn't deal well with f2fs. You will have to change data to ext4, so magisk will work. Use the later version of it (the one he built for oreo) or this one, it will do the same job.

In case you be some sort of: "damn, I'll lose performance", well I did tests comparing f2fs and ext4 and besides f2fs is faster, it is not so much. See the screenshot. The best result was when I had f2fs, the others where different cenarios of ext4 but I can't remember well what were those cenarios xD

tl;dr version

change to ext4, magisk won't work with f2fs
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] SamBurger:
hey folks,

my question does not apply about magisk. when i flash supersu.zip in twrp at the part where it says " boot.img patcher........" (will add screenshot later...sry) it's aborting, then fails.

any solution, advive?

i appreciate any help
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] wangdaning:
I always use magisk to root. You can use other root management apps on top of that, but magisk works for root access.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
supersu doesn't work for us. Besides, supersu development hit EOL.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] cahsobo:
Strange thing is,it was okay before. I've install many magisk module. I think I'm gonna try to flash stock rom then flash TWRP again
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
I also already install some modules while I was on f2fs. But some modules just doesn't install and it depends on changes that topjohnwu makes on magisk.

Ext4 is much more stable and compatible, so you won't have any problem with it and that's why I suggested you to format to ext4
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] cahsobo:
But I'm on stock marshmallow. Is it possible to format to ext4 without flashing to custom ROM?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
I think so, f2fs is default for stock, but it should accept ext4 for data partition (maybe [MENTION=4471434]#Henkate[/MENTION] knows better). But back up your files and folders from internal sdcard, because everything gonna be erased. I would suggest a full backup in fact.

PS: Why are you on MM? So old and without security patches updated :(

[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
guys, twrp is device specific (in fact, it is kernel + board specific and depends on device mount table). This was made for Huawei Nova (the first one) and probably won't be compatible with any other. You have to look on your device specific forum about this. If there isn't, then you probably gonna have to look on google or learn how to make a twrp by yourselves

My phone is black, my headphones' cord is black, but the adapter is OEM adapter is white. Has anyone found a black colored USB to 3.5mm audio jack adapter that is compatible with the Google Pixel 2? All of the ones I find online are analog adapters that don't have a built it DAC.

I know the Essential phone store sells one that is compatible, but it costs more than the original.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] kendong2:
Not helping actually, but I do hate Google for doing that. Charger in white is not that big of an issue, though it could've been black as well. But the white headphone adapter is actually quite annoying :eek:
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] PuffDaddy_d:
That's a good point too. The charging cable is also white. They need to stop copying Apple and make the accessories match the color of the device.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Nejums:
The HTC adapter that came with my wife's black U11 is a very dark grey - and it sounds better than the Google one. I'm not as annoyed by the grey than I am by the white.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] PuffDaddy_d:
You know where to get one that isn't a game eBay knockoff?
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Nejums:
Since you're in the US, have a look here: https://www.htc.com/us/accessories-b/#!pid=htc-u11

For $11.99, that's not bad. The same adapter costs $39.99 here in Australia. Absolutely crazy.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] PuffDaddy_d:
Months later and there are a few more dongles available, but they're all more expensive than the white ones that Google provides. Looks like HTC is still the cheapest alternative. Essential, Razer, and Sony all come with extra $$$
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Skeithh:
Why the hell are these dongles get really expensive
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] PuffDaddy_d:
Because they have a DAC inside of them. That's why the cheap ones on eBay won't work. No DAC
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] smorgar:
I read some post on reddit stating that the Razer dongle is better than the one that comes with the pixel2. I think the Google white one is 16bit audio and the Razer one was 24bit. Worth looking in to spending a few more dollarooz on a better dongle imo.
