There are two TAG-L01: TAG-L01C328 and TAG-L01C212.

If we could know which cust (c328 or C212) it would be helpful.

Here's a TWRP for this Device:

https://xdaforums.com/android/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-0-huawei-tag-l01-p8-t3433520

If you are able to flash this TWRP (Bootloader must be unlocked) and reboot immediately after to TWRP (Vol+ and Power Button until TWRP is bootet) you could use HuRUpdater to flash the right Firmware with TWRP:

https://xdaforums.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279

In this case you need a folder on external storage, name it "HWOTA" and you put into the folder the Full Firmware update.zip (not the unzipped update.app) - and additional you need HuRUpdater in the same folder HWOTA.

Then you boot to TWRP and go to install, navigate to HWOTA folder and flash only the HuRUpdater.zip.

This Tool automatically install the Firmware.

It's not sure if it will work, because it is tested on Android 7 and 8. But it is worth a try.

If you get errors and installation get aborted, then try to flash the update.zip only.

It's a long time ago I used Lollipop. I am working with Android 6, 7, 8, 8.1

With Android 6 I flashed Full Firmware update.zip and it worked. It's dependent on how properly TWRP is working.

But I recommend to try it first with HuRUpdater.

I updated several phones with this amazing Tool.

Be aware you do it with your own risk. I can give you a guarantee, because I am not able to test.

Here's a Link with Firmware Downloads (don't know if working, uses rar password) :

I finally obtained my bootloader unlock code, can u help me to find the right way to unlock bootloader? i can't access the phone so i can't disable any OEM unlock option or other

No way for me to unlock my bootloader with unlock code,always asking for unlock FRP from system, but i can't, system deasn't let me activate developer options...any idea on how to?FRP from system...any idea on how to?
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
That's a big problem!

You can try this Tool - but it costs money. If you enter your Mail Adress and the IMEI you get the code, but some hours later. (time difference, the company is in India)

https://www.fastunlocker.in/huawei-frp-lock-unlock.html

I ordered it for one device, but I didn't test it, because another restoring was required.

I used finally to restore a Mate 10 Lite (OEM Unlock was disabled and grayed out) with Funky Huawei:

https://funkyhuawei.club/

It costs even money (it works with eRecovery and DNS changed in Router) but is one of the best possible ways to restore a phone.

Tecalote,

I need your help. I do not know if this the right forum. Previously, I had installed the MagicArrow3 on my GRA-UL00 C185. But now I have installed LineageOS 13. The issue now is that I am failing to install magisk manager. I am having error " patch stock boot img". Any solution please.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
For installing LOS the first step would be going back to Stock Firmware first. Did you do this?

If not, it should be okay too.

The LOS you have installed contains only the system.img, right?

You need the boot.img from your phone. Make a Backup with TWRP only from boot. Go to the TWRP folder on external SD and copy boot.emmc.win to another place on external SD.

Rename boot.emmc.win to boot.img.

Open Magisk Manager, choose install, install - patch boot.img.

Magisk will Root your boot.img.

Flash patched boot.img with Fastboot Mode:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

Unplug USB cable.

Extract (unzipp) Magisk.zip on PC and copy from the folder "common" the magisk.apk to your external SD.

Install magisk.apk

Tell me the result.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mbenjij:
magisk.apk failed to install.

first question: yes I used stock firmware.

second: LOS I installed contain both boot.img and system.img
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mar.ur:
Why don't you try addonsu 13.0 ?

https://download.lineageos.org/extras
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
But boot.img patching was successful?

However, in this case it is a LOS issue and OT here. You must ask in the related Thread.

You can try it with phh superuser from Playstore.

In this case restore original LOS boot.img with TWRP and then try to Root without Magisk.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mbenjij:
It was a success. Thanks very much. Only issue failed CTS.

Which cust? c432 or... ?
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
If I understand you right, finally it was possible to Root with Magisk with the method I mentioned?

Okay, ctsProfile cannot be true, because of the fingerprint from LOS. But if you have working Magisk Manager, you can try it with this module:

No application of this type works

Should I do some additional configuration?
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] chros69:

[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] redcquiem:

Did you flash the Fix for Network from Post #1?
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] redcquiem:
Yes, I did
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
VPN

Okay, and why you use Third Party apps to enable VPN connection? You can do it simply from native settings /more (after data traffic management) /VPN
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] redcquiem:
Because apart from the fact that everything is simpler through a third party application and you can easily change your ip with one tap, it is less safe to use a vpn in that way.

Researching a bit I have found that the problem is that it is not possible to give the permissions on the vpn to any application because the application is not able to show you on the screen the window to give that permission. Maybe some feature is interfering with this. Maybe a screen filter or something, some idea of what it might be?
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] SabzuSPG:
After flashing "FIX for the Network-Information-Query" with twrp I can't reboot to system. It's always rebooting to twrp. It's doesn't matter when i flash this fix. It's happening after flashing rom or after running rom and than flashing fix. What shoud I do now? I have latest rom and latest twrp from post 1.

Sorry for my English. It's not my native :)

Which device do you have? GRA-??? - which cust was your original (which Firmware did you have before, was it branded by Telecom or Vodafone?)

And which Rom do you use, Magisk or SuperSU Edition?
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] SabzuSPG:
I had unbranded stock b398, now i have Magisk.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Okay and which version of Magisk to you use, the Rom integrated or a newer version of Magisk?
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] SabzuSPG:
P8-b399_MAv3-magisk.zip

Like i said - i downloaded it from post 1.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
I guess it has something to do with old Magisk Version and new Google Updates.

Before the network fix did work.

But you can't use update to newer Magisk with direct install method or flashing with TWRP, because it ends up in a Bootloop.

I will make an update during next week's with newer version of Magisk (but not newest one, because newest Magisk version 16.6 is bugy)

You can just reflash the Rom with TWRP.

Then open K-Settings, more settings, project menu, network information query, vendor - country info and look if the fix is needed.

If it's not saying hw/eu and you face no problems, don't flash the Fix right now.

Wait for the updated Rom.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] SabzuSPG:
It's saying:

Vendor: Vendor Country file not exist

Country: Vendor Country file not exist.

Huawei P8 GRA-L09 BTW :)

Thank u for the interest. I'm waiting for update!

[MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION]: does this HuRUpdater work for our P8 as well? (I've seen you posted couple of comments on that topic.)
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
It's dependent on what you like to do. Normally it's not necessary on P8, because it has only one Firmware zip file (update.zip)and as long it's a Full Firmware it can be used on P8 with dload method (extracted update.app from update.zip)

HuRUpdater is primarily made for newer devices which need 3 Firmware zip files for the Update.

On newer devices and Android versions dload method does not work
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] chros69:
Thanks for the info, I didn't know that.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Yes, and there is a special method for updating P8 (working only with Full Firmware zip):

0) Make Backup of your stuff

1) Extract update.zip → copy update.app (and meta.inf - if available) into dload folder on external SD

2) Copy update.zip also, but to the main directory of external SD

3) Boot to TWRP and flash with TWRP the update.zip (ignore some error messages) → this will force update P8 and internal storage will be wiped

4) After flashing the Firmware zip with TWRP click on "Wipe Dalvik/Cache" on the left below

5) Go back to main menu of TWRP and use: Reboot RECOVERY

6) In Stock Recovery do again "Wipe Cache Partition" and "Factory reset"

7) Click on: reboot → but in the moment the phone begin to reboot (black screen) press VOL+ and VOL- (together in the middle) down and hold this position until phone reboot into EMUI Software Installing → now, update.app from dload folder will be flashed.

Phone reboot automatically and you have a clean, updated new System.

Since i flashed this i haven't gotten any notifications in my notification bar. I tried looking into the settings but didnt find the problem?? Any tips where to look dev/community?
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
What was your previous Rom or Firmware (Build Number) before you flashed this Rom?

In Settings /Apps/Name if the app/notification you can configure the settings.

At first start into System you get Permission Requests and it's required to allow this permissions.

If you restore Chat/Netcall Apps like WhatsApp, Viber, Signal, Telegram etc from a Backup you will not get Push notifications.

The correct way is to use the Inbuilt Chat Backup.

Example WhatsApp:

In settings of WhatsApp search for Chat Backup and do a Backup on Google Drive.

Delete you WhatsApp Account in Settings/Accounts and delete WhatsApp app.

Backup the WhatsApp/media folder (copy it to external SD) and after flashing the Rom copy it back to the internal storage. (on the same path /place)

Reinstall WhatsApp from Playstore, open it and make the registration by sms or call back method to get the registration code. (Same SIM must be inserted /or WhatsApp Phone Number must be changed in Settings of WhatsApp - if using another SIM)

Soon, your Phone Number is registered again, WhatsApp find the Backup on Google Drive (if using same Google Account) and you can restore complete Chat history.

From that moment the Push notifications are working properly.

Even on notification bar.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] CaptainExp:
not really sure what firmware i was using but it was a stock 6.0 rom, i just checked what you said but it doesnt work ive checked the apps and all and still not work (instagram and snapchat notifications)
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Yes, it does not work if you have restored these apps from a Backup like TitaniumBackup or Huawei Backup.

You must delete the Apps and reinstall from Playstore and re register - or it will not work.

You should write down your previous system Build Number before you change it by flashing a new Rom.

How could you go back to the previous system if you don't know what model /firmware or rom/cust you have?

Except you have a TWRP Backup to restore your previous system...

Do you have?

Most problems are related if you flash dirty without cleaning the previous system. (necessary Wipes as mentioned in OP)

And the new system will also not work properly, if you were on AOSP before (then its required to go first back to original Huawei Firmware, which matches your device and cust)

And you will also have problems, if your phone has Vodafone, Telecom or other Branding. In this case it is necessary to debrand to open cust like c432 - before flashing any Custom Rom.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] CaptainExp:
I flashed dirty cause i didnt want to lose all my data, maybe thats the problem, and i never backup/recover my system idk why its a bad thing im doing but yes.. its a bad habit of mine. So i reinstalled snapchat and ig in a hope of a possible fix, like gmail and other apps prompt notifications but ig and snapchat didnt :/
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] zlihtar2:
Dear Tecalote, do you intend to expose the new ROM, perhaps MagicArrow-v4?

Or perhaps refresh the security patch level in MagicArrow v-3? The patch is currently up from 30.10.2018, this is already very old...

But I will do.

Thank you bro..before that i did a mistake that i install magisk uninstaller through TWRP.now icannot enter in to recovery.what should i do next?i can flash the boot ?how i can get back recovery ?or i should flash full magic arrow zip?
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Recovery should be available, you must disconnect USB and press Vol+ and Power Button to reboot into TWRP (doesn't work with USB cable)

But with USB cable connected and Vol- and Power Button you can enter Fastboot Mode.

From there you can flash with Minimal ADB and Fastboot the boot.img.

(which is included in the Rom zip, and if you extract it with Winzip or 7zip you can do it into Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder and flash it with the command I told you before)

You should restore the boot.img, then try to reboot to system.

If it works you can flash Magisk and the other required files, which I had mentioned here:
