[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Emare212:
Till now I never faced the issue... For me my phone unlocks immediately with fingerprint or is unlocked through bluetooth / place verification. Do you use the "stock" launcher of RR or do you use another Lockscreen?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Mohammed_M.:
Yes I use the stock launcher and didn't install any lock or launcher till now and the delay us really annoying so I'm really confused.... Any ideas?

Ps: its only happens when you press the power button and the phone is in sleep..
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Emare212:
Okay, maybe try to install an alternative Launcher or go to Settings -> Display and turn Animations off would be my first attemps :confused:
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Mohammed_M.:
I'll try that and send a feedback ?

But how to turn the animation off.? And from where?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Emare212:
I think this was phone specific of antoher phone sorry ;) Maybe go to Settings --> Configurations --> Lockscreen and search there for animation related stuff? I search under settings --> Configurations --> Animations, but there was not an lockscreen animation
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Mohammed_M.:
Yes I did that too but nothing useful there I'm trying to know what is causing that...
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Emare212:
Okay, maybe try to report it or search for it in the original thread of the rom.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Mohammed_M.:
I have solved the problem.... Just go to recovery and select the internal storage (that will unmount sd card) and TADA! the lag is gone I know its kinda weird but it's true ?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Emare212:
Nice :good:

What's the battery life like on the Lineage rom? And is it possible to easily go back to EMUI, in case there are problems?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] drift08:
I am running on Knernel Ver. 4.4.23 (gcc ver 4.9.x 20150123). I flashed this zip file via Magisk and no Huawei stock camera app after reboot. May I ask which kernel are you using? Thanks.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] osk4rin:
The one from your stock Oreo. Use the UPDATE App.and extracted with huawei EXTRACTOR.

You have to flash you kernel and ramdisk img in order to use magisk and flash the stock camera.

I also flashed via Magisk.

Use this Kernel;

[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] osk4rin:
Battery life is good, it depends how you use your phone.to get fully charged it takes like 30 min.

and yes, you can go back to EMUI nougat easily follow this guide:

[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Bobbite:
Thanks, might try installing it soon. Are there any bugs that could make this not a daily driver?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] osk4rin:
I think just the camera, but you can install the stock huawei camera via Magisk.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Emare212:
What do you guys mean with camera problems? For me the stock cam works fine :confused:
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Wirmpolter:
Question for you. to be clear on exactly doing this. After i download the matching firmware to extract the kernel and ramdisk, what are the proper fastboot commands to flash them? And are those the only two img files I need to extract?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Mohammed_M.:
Some lags that are very annoying when changing camera mods and the selfies are not saved for me.... What camera do you installed and what method you did use?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] osk4rin:
fastboot flash kernel kernel img.

fastboot flash ramsdisk ramdisk img.

And yes. Those are the two only img files that you have to extract from UPDATE APP. Because on Oreo there is not booth img. Kernel and ramdisk substitute booth img.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Emare212:
At the moment I use the standard Camera of RR on this Rom. For me the selfies are saved and I didn't noticed lags till now. I installed nothing ;)
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Mohammed_M.:
Yes me too... But I was talking about the stock camera

BTW I just use it when I want take a picture with 20 mega pixels withe front camera ???
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Wirmpolter:
Can i also use that kernel that you posted in the quote above this one too? I'm on an MHA-AL00.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] osk4rin:
Yes you can use it
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Wirmpolter:
Awesome. Is it the kernel and the ramdisk? Also, after I fastboot flash them, what magisk do I want to get/flash?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] osk4rin:
Yes, kernel and ramdisk as well. Before that do a format data on TWRP. then:

fastboot flash kernel kernel img.

fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk img.

fastboot flash system system img. (lineage or RR)

And flash this magisk after successfully boot in the Rom. Via twrp.

[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Wirmpolter:
Awesome. Thank you.

Can I flash the kernel and ramdisk after? I flashed beforr and im already running the RR rom. Also, should I flash twrp then? Still running stock recovery.

Oh wait, guess I need TWRP for magisk then since you said that. Lol
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] osk4rin:
Is better if you flash the kernel and ramdisk before, so that magisk can be flashed. And you have to flash twrp in order to flash magisk. Stock recovery Can't do that.

[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Wirmpolter:
Okay cool.... Thanks for the links too, it's much appreciated.

Other than the stock camera, RR ROM is mint so far

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 PM ----------

Do you happen to have the ramdisk that goes with that kernel link you posted or do I need to get a different one?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] osk4rin:
The ramdisk is the one from your stock. Extract the ramdisk using the UPDATE APP.

extract the UPDATE App from your stock update zip then get the ramdisk img.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Wirmpolter:
I thought though, what you posted, after downloading it, is just the kernel img? And, darn, being on a slow internet in the country side means that its going to take me awhile to download the firmware just for the ramdisk but if that's better then I guess I should right? So, use your kernel img to flash for the kernel and the ramdisk img from my official firmware is best?

Thanks again.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] osk4rin:
Yes is better if you extract both files from the update zip on your firmware. The kernel that I posted it works as well.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Wirmpolter:
So I did the mistake of doing a wipe data/factory reset in TWRP (fingerprint wasn't working) after having it all boot up fine and now when RR rom boots up its just a blackscreen. I tried to reflash the kernel, ramdisk and system but still shows up as a blackscreen. Any ideas?

UPDATE:

Nevermind. Got it working. Either cause of me trying to factory reset in settings inside RR rom, or the TWRP factory reset, the data was mounted in TWRP, as soon as I unmounted it....booted up just fine, no blackscreen.

So I tried to flash the kernel of mine from the update.app and RR wouldn't get past the boot screen, the animation just kept going and going. As soon as I redid the steps, using your kernel, the ramdisk from my update.app and the RR rom, it boots just fine. However, still stuck with fingerprint not working. It registers the first initial touch to setup but doesn't continue past that when touching and lifting your finger.

HOW-TO INSTALL:

1. Unlocked bootloader is required!

2. Download the TWRP recovery

3. Boot into fastboot and type : fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk TWRP_3.2.1-0_OREO.img

4. Type: fastboot reboot

Two things.

First, I'm not entirely sure what that diatribe in the first post was meant to accomplish.

Second, I am totally unable to get either LineageOS or Resurrection Remix to run without issues on my phone. For some reason my external SD card shows up as corrupted (but it's not). Also, I get a message when the phone finishes booting about a mismatched vendor (?). Has anyone else run into either of these issues, and have you found a way to work around those issues?

Thanks a lot folks.

This thread was started before the generic versions of LOS and RR were released 2 days ago. Does anyone have that running, what was your experience after flashing, and is there a google camera app port available? I quite dislike the Huawei app.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] osk4rin:
Did you try the generic version for our Huawei mate 9?

I haven't seen any release for Huawei Mate 9/

I think just for Huawei mate 10 pro though

where did you see it?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Cavi_:
Here's the link to the XDA post about the generic ROM.

Being a generic ROM, there is no device specific version. It's simply supposed to work on all Treble enabled devices. Seeing as how XDA got an early build working 4 months ago, I was wondering if anyone had tried this on the Mate 9.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] osk4rin:
I haven't tried yet. But I'll try right now and let you know
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] osk4rin:
I tried already, the camera has the same resolution.a little bit faster with no bugs which are good.

Just follow all the steps from here and make sure your device is (A only)(A/B) 64 or 32.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Cavi_:
Great, that's good to know! I'm actually not a fan of the Huawei camera anyway. Might have to try a Google Camera port if it's possible on the Kirin chip. Looking forward to unlocking my bootloader tonight!
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Emare212:
I installed it and after start there is a prompt, that the vendor image is not up to date. When you flashed, was it there too? I'm suggesting that you can maybe flash vendor.img from stock huawei rom? But I don't know, I googled it, but theres only Nexus devices.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] sutty86:

[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] osk4rin:
It wasn't there when I flashed.in this case I didn't extract anything from the stock huawei rom. Because this ROM is supported for huawei mate 9, I didn't need to use any img files.

Both Roms doesn't include the Gapps. I recommend you to flash the - pico -.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Cavi_:
Forgive me, but how would I determine A or A/B? I'm not sure I've seen this terminology before. The last time I rooted and tinkered was in the Froyo days!

But after img flashing bricks (infinite boot)

The same is true if you delete the data delete cache.

I am still informed that it is an infinite boot.

I'm having a hell of a time trying to get root. I installed the TWRP here, and then tried to install Magisk 16.0. I got error 1, it wasn't able to get past the mounting process which is the first step. Said error mounting image. Without Magisk, I can't even attempt LineageOS. Any ideas?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] tllim73:
There is a link fix version of twrp. Google it you might be able to find it. I use the twrp to gain root with magisk.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Cavi_:
I'll look for that now, thanks. At this point I can't even figure out how to boot into TWRP without being connected to PC and ADB. Is it possible? If I use the volume up and power button it just sends me to EMUI recovery.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] osk4rin:
You got the mounting error because you need to flash your kernel and ramdisk. Extract those from you stock firmware and UPDATE APP. Using huawei Extractor.

[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Cavi_:
Well, I've soft bricked my device! Good times. I can still get into recovery so it's a salvageable situation. Tried installing LineageOS last night and I'm now in a bootloop. Here's my steps:

1. Successfully unlocked device

2. Successfully installed oreo TWRP posted here by blackball

3. Failed loading Majisk 16.0 and phhSuperuser

4. Successfully rooted using SuperSU

5. Unable to create backup using TWRP due to error 255, the file creating the problem seemed to be a bluetooth file, but couldn't locate actual file on device.

6. Thinking "what's the worst that could happen?", I wiped anyway. Went into TWRP and wiped the following: Dalvik, Cache, cust, Data, product, System, Vendor, version

7. Used TWRP to then boot into bootloader, using adb flashed the lineageOS system.img.

8. Bootloop

9. Entered TWRP and performed factory reset, reboot

10. Bootloop

11. Huawei eRecovery fails to help, big red X

That's where I'm at! Is there a file I can flash to salvage this and get LineageOS to boot? Or is the better route to flash a stock boot.img and see if that helps eRecovery, then try and start over? I'm not familiar at all with Huawei Extractor or any of that, so if that's the way to go, I may need some extra help.

Thanks in advance, I know troubleshooting over the web is difficult!
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] freshlimes:
Were you already on stock Oreo? If not, you would have to flash the files extracted from the UPDATE.APP (I flashed them for safety either way even though I was on stock Oreo).
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Cavi_:
Yes, I was on stock Oreo before I started any of this. That's why I'm posing the question though - all the guides I'm finding are a year old, and none of them address Oreo process change. Only 3/4 of the way through an 8 page thread does someone mention that a command changes, and the OP still has instructions for Nougat. It's made the process confusing to say the least.

EDIT: For instance, I just read in the thread that boot.img is only used pre-oreo, and here I was considering that as a solution because I read it in a recovery thread. Apparently I need ramdisk.img or something?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] freshlimes:
Well step for step here's what I did:

Extracted KERNEL.img, RAMDISK.img, RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img

Booted into stock recovery - factory reset

Booted into bootloader

fastboot flashed KERNEL.img, RAMDISK.img, RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img, and Lineage system.img

bootlooped

Booted back into bootloader - flashed TWRP 3.2.1.0

Booted into TWRP - factory reset and formatted data

Phone booted after that, been playing around with Lineage since.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Cavi_:
Thank you! I have something to try tonight. Follow up question: where to I extract those images from, exactly? Is that where the huawei extractor comes in? Do you happen to have a link to the zip or does the extractor help me find the zip I need? Sorry for the questions, I'm at work and can only do so much from my work machine. Trying to gather my thoughts before I head home to give this a try.

Lastly, when you say formatted data, is that JUST the data partition? I formatted nearly every partition on the phone, which is what I was used to doing in the Froyo days. Much has changed since then :)

Thanks for jumping in to help me!
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] freshlimes:
Just extract those .img files to a folder somewhere you'll remember. You'll just be flashing those .img files individually through fastboot. And yes, the Huawei Extractor comes in there. You'll have to download the stock Oreo files (unless you already have them saved somewhere), unzip it, and plug the UPDATE.APP file into the extractor. It may not work initially, I had to uncheck "Verify header checksum" in the Huawei Extractor settings, however you may not need to.

I think the link was posted somewhere in this thread but I was too lazy to chase it down. Here it is again:

[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Cavi_:
OK so I'm still bootlooping, but it's nice to have the ability to extract all those files. After seeing the files you had me flash, and knowing what I've deleted from "Advanced Wipe" in TWRP (I wiped vendor and product partitions), I tried loading those additional .imgs from the extractor, but the command isn't isn't allowed by the device. Any ideas here? [MENTION=477335]Blackball[/MENTION], do you have any experience with these partitions?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] freshlimes:
I think you're going to have to unbrick by reflashing the Huawei Oreo files and then try again. Almost certain that those empty partitions are causing the bootloop. Would be great if someone more knowledgeable could chime in.

Here's the unbrick tutorial:

Yeah I saw that thread - but it makes me nervous. Since Oreo a lot of processes have changed and I wonder if using this guide is still the way to go about trying to fix the phone. I'll have to take some time to read through the entire thread. Thanks for the help so far! It's been helpful to help me further my understanding of all the pieces in play.

This morning I did try to flash the stock system.img since I had flashed stock everything else, but I'm still getting the bootloop. I'm 95% positive it's because of the "Product" and "Vendor" partitions I blew up. :eek:
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] freshlimes:
Yeah, fairly certain you'll have to learn to use the HWOTA8 tool to flash the entire Huawei Oreo package to restore the partitions to normal.

[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Wirmpolter:
What region is your Mate 9? C636? C567?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Cavi_:
I've been using C567 files because that's what I thought I had. Bought from a Best Buy in the US.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Wirmpolter:
Have you tried the erecovery method?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Cavi_:
Not sure what method that is? Letting eRecovery cycle through? It always fails to find any sort of updates to pull after it connects to wifi. I'm putting that down to the fact that I've wiped my product and vendor partitions, but I don't know for sure. That just makes the most sense.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Wirmpolter:
It might be possible. Hard to say.

There is a way to do erecovery in combination with firmware finder that might work. It involves having to log into your router though to change some settings though. Haven't tried that way yet but have used firmware finder a few times or so when I was rebranding.

I also rebranded to the international c636 because it has offline files that can be used via the dload method. Just a precaution to avoid any issues like this.

Oh, if you put your phone into bootloader mode and connect to your computer to use hisuite, you can try the system recovery option. Not sure if that will work though.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Cavi_:
Are you on B360 or 366? Do you happen to have clean system and vendor backups that I could use to restore? TWRP website seems to indicate that might help in my situation.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] osk4rin:
I have a C567 US version as well bought from best buy. Did you download the proper files from your OREO firmware? I've done that method many times without any error.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Cavi_:
As far as I know I'm using the right files. I went and found them on my own and used the extractor, as soon as eRecovery starts it fails saying it can't locate the update. Then I saw this post in another thread, guy with the same version and everything, and he provided direct links, and so I used those. Even renamed the files for HWOTA8 and everything.

TWRP mentions something about a vendor backup, I'm wondering if I would be able to "restore" someone else's backup? Since i wiped both that and the product partition? I can't flash either of those imgs, but maybe restore works differently?
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] osk4rin:
I see, I'll send you the files that I use in my HWOTA8 folder on my SD Card.. If you will get the same error I send you another TWRP to flash.

I use those files every time that I want to go back to stock OREO.or want to try another ROM.
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Cavi_:
