Hi,

any idea how to get back to stock oreo recovery? Can I flasn e.g. the nocheck.img to recovery partition or would I brick my phone since the partition layout is now different?

(Long story:

device P9lite2017 - PRA-LX1

Basically I was on C432B184, I flashed the update.zip for B321 (Oreo). Now my system says Emui8/Android8 but still version B184. System updates downloaded B190 but this TWRP recovery failed to install it. I intend to moving on to custom ROM (CrDroid), but I thought I would take the backup of the stock with TWRP - which I can - but I cant update the original system now)
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] omega_55_lul:
Don't use OTA updates anymore, I think this will be a guaranteed brick since it thinks it's updating EMUI 5 and not EMUI 8

The same thing happened on my PRA-LX1, I had B198 and I flashed the EU B322 a few weeks ago, the build number still shows up as B198, and just today a new update (B204) appeared since it still thinks I'm on EMUI 5, I won't install it since it's made for the partitions of EMUI 5
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] ajislav:
Ok, I will not use the OTA updates. Still my question stands, if I ever want to go back to stock recovery (or stock ROM) how do I do that?
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] ajislav:
I know that decription does not work, but I am having trouble backing up an encrypted /data partition.

TWRP fails with "createTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255"

This means I cannot backup data. (for me setupwizard fails if my /data is not encrypted, see https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76598604&postcount=22)

I thought that even an encrypted partition can be backed up or no?

Doesn't work on my device, after i flash it phone doesn't boot. Also why should i flash

recovery_ramdisk

instead of

recovery

?
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] omega_55_lul:
recovery is for EMUI 5, while recovery_ramdisk is for EMUI 8 since it changes partitions or something

And keep in mind that this will ONLY work on EMUI 8, Don't flash this on EMUI 5 otherwise you will get into an Error Mode

using the TWRP 3.2.1-0 May 15th.

First of all: that looks unrealistic speed (11mb/0.3s) and second: I cannot boot into TWRP using power+vol down. When connected normally to pc via adb it says unauthorized. Could someone troubleshoot this with me, I am very new and have no idea what's going wrong. It took 2 days to find a way to get the bootloader unlock code after Huawei canceled the support for it completely and now this... >.<

EDIT:// adb reboot recovery worked, just vol down + power does not.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] steven360:
vol down + power is going to get you into bootloader/fastboot mode, and only if your phone is plugged into a computer.

you have the completely wrong button sequence when youre trying to get into recovery mode. i suggest you dont flash roms or do anything risky with your phone until you learn the basics of how your phone works and functions.

the speed, you think is unrealistic, but i'm willing to bet that my speeds are even faster. as long as the twrp is flashed, and adb reports that it's done with no errorrs, it's all good :good:

---------- Post added at 04:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 AM ----------

i'm afraid there is no such thing as a "dual recovery."

there are multiple reasons for this.

your bootloader and frp are not unlocked.

youre not flashing the correct file.

youre not flashing to the correct partition, which is "recovery_ramdisk"

the file is corrupted.

the command is wrong.

you should tell us what command you typed, what you did, etc.

you're point is?

i had the exact same question. it's because of oreo, and it renames the partition. i dont know why they chose the name. just deal with it and dont ask stupid questions.

[P8 Lite (2017) Development] ahmed algaml:
I want use eRecovery but it said getting package info failed...

How can i use eRecovery to return to stock
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] Graveen:
My experiences:

- tryed to use HuRUpdater to C432 (worked.... somehow)

- tryed to flash Dil3mma recovery (got error about partition length

- used eRecovery to go to stable release (PRA-LX1 8.0.0.368 C02)

- flashed the Oreotwrp recovery (chinese, but worked...)

- can flash AICP 13.1

- can't flash Dil3mma LOS15.1 (expected device hi6250, mine is lld (?) or something similar (my device should be 'prague')

right now:

- DLing Haky LOS15.1

- will perhaps try again Dil3mma TWRP

- would like to find a 3.2.3 TWRP :)

I'm curious why i got so much troubles. perhaps the official EMUI8 now shipped is slightly different vs the beta - in example noone ever mention PRA-LX1 8.0.0.368 C02 firmware). I admit the Huawei choice to no longer unlock BL is making people run away, this is why a lot lost interest in custom roms.

edit:

flashed again Dil3mma TWRP, not working for me:

- unable to wipe Cache

- error 7 everytime i flash a rom (not able to write system)

- Dil3mma LOS15.1 not working ("package is for hi6250n this device is prague")

Going back to my previous recovery. Chinese but working with my device.

I'll move the asserts in LOS15.1 rom. It should flash at least

[MENTION=9034316]Dil3mm4[/MENTION] any advices for our problems ?

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

@cookremier

I believe the proper way is to flash system with fastboot, not boring with recoveries, then wipe everything from original recovery.

Browsing openKirin ROMS now, they seem stable :)
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] Dil3mm4:
-error 7: your phone somehow doesn't mount /system, never happend on my PRA as of now, this has to be the result of bad operations;

-My LOS15.1 it's discontinued, the thread it's even closed, I don't know why you're considering to use it.

There's a huge write up in this forum about GSI, DSSI (and everything connected with treble) and why I've chosen to don't ship anymore DSSIs (as of now).

As of now, I'm not interested in doing any further TWRP releases as the easiest way to avoid problems over Huawei treble enabled devices, it's using fastboot plus Huawei Stock Recovery.

When TWRP will be safe enough, I'll surely re-build 'em.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] Graveen:
Sorry, i tested with Askuccio LOS15.1 (not yours) & Haky86 LOS15.1

I see the point in using fastboot to flash system.img: i went to identical conclusion. I'm really glad you state officially here on XDA because i would never break my head with TWRP so long :D

TY for your work !
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] Almironi:
In Fastboot the command:

fastboot oem relock UNLOCKCODE

fastboot reboot bootloader

Replace UNLOCKCODE with your unlock code you got from Huawei.

Relocking the bootloader will end up with a low-level factory reset (same as unlocking).

Only HWOTA update method will lock the bootloader and status to "locked" and not relocked (no low level format).

For me HuRUpdater was the only option to move to EMUI8 cause eRecovery somehow always ending up with error: getting package info failed.

Maybe is because of twrp.. will try to flash back to stock recovery and then run eRecovery..
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] Almironi:
Try factory reset and then reboot to fastboot.

Windows Powershell (Admin)

.\fastboot.exe oem relock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If that not works, try reflashing stock rom using dload method (you need microsd card). Then try relocking.

Have you tried flashing with serviceRom (3 buttons method)?

dload is the latest stock then factory reset and then relock.

Flashed pretoriano80 twrp, but eRecovery keeps failing..

Flashed stock recovery, did factory reset, formated data in eRecovery, tried almost everything I know..

Even dload method won't go flashing further than 5%..

I tried with many TWRP (compatible with the phone) but the problem is still here.

Any hint ?

Thanks in advance
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] marstonpear:
You need to reboot the phone and keep vol+ button down before the phone boots, not after. :good:
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] Pataclo:
Hi all marstonpear, cookremier,

I tried with your hint but does not work.

As you can see above, the recovery image flash on recovery_ramdisk correctly, then when I kept pressed the vol+ during the "&& fastboot reboot" (as you seggested), suddenly I removed the USB cable and I got an error screen like the fastboot one with the following message :

ERROR MODE

Attention!

Please update system again

Error!

Func. NO : 11 (recovery image)

Error NO : 2 (load failed!)

So, do you know what's the problem ? Thanks

(I want remind the my goal is only to become root to be able to move the app on the SD, I don't want to install custom ROMs)
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] sfoot13:
Hi bro!

Try with this recovery

Hi cookremier thanks to your detailed instructions, finally I'm able to access to TWRP. (Many thanks also to sfoot13 for the same working image suggestion).

But unfortunately my goal to become root of this damned phone is not yet reached ... when from TWRP (twrp_honor9_lite_0.2_test.img) I try to flash the supersu file : SuperSU+PRO+v2.82SR3.zip I got this log that is not clear because at the and said : done, but when I reboot the supersu is not installed and the root check fails :

Hi all, finally I got root by flashing (from the TRPW of above (twrp_honor9_lite_0.2_test.img)) this file Magisk-v17.1.zip

Thanks to all for the support.

One final comment :

In the past I had rooted other smartphones : htc, sony, samsung with minimal effort, maybe also because I'm a long time software developer (not android) but this time with huaway I'm been wandered of the huge effort and several misleading info on the web about the way to become root of this devices.

Furthermore I'm indigned of the (bad) choice of huaway to stop to give to the owner of its devices the unlocking code (not even by a direct request email).

For this reason, I think that likely, in the future I will never buy huaway devices.
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] Pataclo:
Yes I have installed Magisk-v17.1.zip
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] Pataclo:
Hi cookremier, maybe is not clear but I wrote "finally I got root", so I dont need further support for it.

My problem is that I'm still unable to use my 128GB SD to expand the small 16GB internal storage (that is the only reason because I got root).

I treid several app like app2sd, link2sd, ecc. but these does not work or work bad, what I need is a patch like this: adoptable_storage_enabler_ashyx_13916.zip

that I used to obtain this result on a samsung J5 (with success), but unfortunately I cant find it for huaway p8 lite 2017 ...
[P8 Lite (2017) Development] Traceur017:
Hi

To enable adoptable storage on this phone you need to do this

Enable usb debugging on your phone

Then connect your phone to your PC

Then run cmd or windows powershell

Then type:adb shell

Then type:sm set-force-adoptable true

Then type:sm list-disks

Then it'll give you a number

Then type:sm partition disk:179,192 private

(Mine was 179,192.if yours is different change it)

Then type:sm set-force-adoptable false

Then type:exit

This method is for Android Oreo and above

[P8 Lite (2017) Development] Midosiwar:

[P8 Lite (2017) Development] RedSkull23:
When you're in TWRP, try to browse/mount data partition. If you can't or if internal storage occupied space says "0 MB", then you're encrypted. You can remove encryption by flashing DM verity (a zip that disables encryption, look for it in XDA search) immediately after you flashed a ROM/GSI, and before flashing GApps/Magisk.

Hi [MENTION=9034316]Dil3mm4[/MENTION]

I have trouble while working with an EXFAT formated sdcard under your recovery. In particular, the backup function ends with an error that permission for creating the directory is denied. On the other hand, I can see the files and I can rename directories. My device is PRA-LX1.

When SD card is mounted under TWRP mount command shows something like

/mmcblk** /external_sd fuseblk (rw, nosuid, nodev, relatimeuser_id=0, group_id=0, default_permissions, allow_other, max_read=131072, blksize=4096)

My hypothesis is that exfat support is clearly there but there is some kind of a problem with the default permissions. I am not sure how to fix this (chown or manual mount with the correct parameters?) Any advice?

FIX

So, after 8 hours of searching, even before I made this thread, I finally found the solution.

Alll you have to do is:

1. get the correct software from SamFire or sammobile.

2. Open Odin and put all the 3 files (AP, CSC and CP) in Odin. Make sure you do NOT put DL or it will not work.

3. Click start and your phone will be back to fresh start.

Hope this helps for people with same problem.

There is one problem though: I have no service. Is it because this firmware is from proximus? My phone was not branded (it was lockfree), now after I installed the firmware it became branded and I see proximus logo when the phone starts. This was not the case before. I also don't see my imei and basebrand anymore. Is there any way to fix this?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] natewang:
I bought an unlocked S8+ from a website. It is from Hong Kong, dual SIM, the model number is SM-G9550. I am using it in Australia. Now there are two things that I cannot do with it - VoLTE and Samsung Pay. Also the Android 8.0 upgrade is still unavailable for SM-G9550, which is crazy. All mobile carriers in Australia has pushed Oreo upgrade but I cannot get it.

If anyone can help me with my questions here:

1) Can I flash an Australia firmware to my handset? If it is possible, do I have to root it?

2) If it can be flashed with an Australia firmware, is the dual SIM feature still available? I ask because all phones sold in Australia (except those on website and apparently overseas version as mine) the dual SIM feature is banned/locked because the telecom companies don't want to allow competition, and ACCC (the consumer council) is just a puppet.

3) If it can be flashed with Australia firmware, can I turn the VoLTE on? At the moment, it cannot be turned on as there is no such an option in the Settings.

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jaannnis:
I'm sorry to tell this, but you simply can't flash anything other than the chinese software on this phone. There are two CSCs available for the g9550 which apparently are CHC (open China) and TGY (Hong Kong) according to updato. Both aren't on Android 8 and I'm not sure if they ever will be.

So:

1) No you can't. Australian providers make their software for the australian model (which is the international) G955F.

2)-

3)-

So to look the truth in its face:

You might be better of selling this phone and buying the international g955F, which is compatible with australian firmware. alternatively there is the G955FD, which is dual sim, but (i just googled for 2 minutes so could be wrong) there also is no official australian firmware. What you can do with the g955F/FD is rooting, which could perhaps give you the possibility to flash an australian CSC to the FD, if you really are thinking about buying one, someone could sure give you the answer to if its possible or not
