Ok, you warned us. I thought that I read that you installed it without any preparation work. So you suggest the route of getting the file and using Huawei flasher to do it? Like in that long post with your checklist?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
My warning is something else, the flasher is not what I'm talking about there. That's how i would do it.

Just got this today morning
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Ok, so I downloaded the small update_base.zip (498mb or so), moved it to another directory, and flashed it using emui flasher. The update took, and it shows 229. Fine. Now, I have to look for the recovery.img file, but I don't find it in the 498mb zip file. But, I do see an update.app file, and I recall from long ago that I can use some PC app to extract stuff out of it. Right? I can get the recovery-ramdisk from that file, and then patch it with Magisk, correct??

@ Gilberticus

you mentioned this "Just figured out how to get keep root after rebooting. Once you root with fastboot flashing the patched_boot.img, open up magisk and install it again from the app (This time selecting direct install). It seems to be keeping root fine now. " back in March. I think that I follow you, but I'm not sure. Do I just run Magisk, select direct install, and that will do it?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
If it's a small one i don't think the img will be in there, but you can always do

adb shell dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery_ramdisk of=/sdcard/thenameyoulike.img

and it'll give you a copy, you being able to patch that; now I'm not sure about the last part but i know it won't hurt anything: if it won't give you anything, scratch /thenameyoulike.img and stop at /sdcard, you should be good to go. No harm either way.

If it won't go, depending on your setup, you can do it in two parts:

adb shell

press enter, and then the rest

dd blah blah blah

Edit--- lol i love how i keep adding stuff all the time. Anyways, to flash it back you just do it backwards, if being input file and of being output file. So,

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/Download/patched_boot.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery_ramdisk

and reboot, voila, saves you from fastboot and all that crap.

Receipt requested.

Clear as cafe con leche, o frijoles fritos.

Extract using IF's

Patch with Magisk

Flash as we all know how to.

Reboot with vol+ and power and over-bent fingers

Rejoice

Then, maybe try the MAgisk direct install thing.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:

Did i lose you, too?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
I didn't feel lost. The "clear as cafe con leche" mas more of a jab at Huawei, and your egg noodle suggestion that I understood.

Extract from my current load using the if command.

Patch that file with Magisk

Flash the patched file back as we've done.

Reboot with recovery finger sequence

Done.

No?

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Can someone explain this to me?

I have version 229, but a small update of 25kb for 229 wqs found by my phone.

EDIT I just saw that it says E7 in the middle of the version. Wait. I/we have to go through the update novela again? For a 25kb update??
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
It's not 25 kb, last i remember anyways, and it's just Huawei being Huawei, you're not missing out on much, security patch?

Now, it wasn't that difficult now was it?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Right, of course. I wasn't expecting Android Q
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
You know, i downloaded a 25 kb from ff after it showed compatible and tried to flash it with flasher to no avail, I'm not gonna worry too much, at least i rebooted with no problem, how about on your end?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
I haven't tried it yet, and I'm not sure if I will. I'll think about it for a few days.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] 253simon:
Just wondering where you found Android Q?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
I didn't. I was referring to the fact that since we just got a security update, an immediate update of 35kb wouldn't be a major update. And, even if the update was 11gb, it wouldn't be Android (or whatevers next).
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
You mean Android Quesadilla?

Why are you... Somewhat denying the truth of the existence of Quesadilla and what's more, a version tailored specifically to our Salsa?

Get it? :laugh:

You know, what's a quesadilla's most likely "mate"? Lol salsa! Right? No? No funny?

Ay, caramba!

Well, to be fair, and unlike the never materialized EMUI 8.1 (for us, the unwanted children of such tumultuous, dysfunctional, now dissolved marriage with that slanderous, scandalous, American bully of she-whatever-her!), they're talking about EMUI 9.1, and looks like we might be able to collect the crumbs from what falls from the table... In fact, it's in beta right now, so, we can only hope.

You know, let's not make much noise lest Daddy Shun Wi Phon Wei-Long notices us...

I read that Android Q is being released for the Mate 20. So perhaps 1 day, one day, our device will get some respect and love and quesadillas with Nutella. Not salsa. Well maybe a little salsa. Or Merengue. Yup, gibberish.

EDIT..I tried to install the 35kb update both with emui flasher and the normal way, and the installation failed. Oh well.

ANOTHER EDIT: We should see Pie 9.1 "soon" https://www.xda-developers.com/emui-91-rollout-older-huawei-honor-devices/

Has anyone that has a rooted phone, successfully installed this new 35kb update? I know that it's nothing major, by its size and right after the March update. But still.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] revjamescarver:
Update

I just got the new update but it wasn't 35k, it was over 500k. Even the security patch would be over 35k so I think you got a messed up download.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
For some reason, mine always appears as 25kb and nothing bigger shows up even after reboot. I'll press install, it will reboot, go into the update screen and fail
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] 253simon:
Just out of curiosity, did you flash stock recovery before the update?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
I did not Simon.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] 253simon:
Might have to disable magisk
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] 253simon:
I just flashed stock recovery, updated, flashed patched recovery

Did not notice anything different
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Of course not. I imagine that this update does nothing other than change a letter in the build number from D to E. Or, maybe I'm wrong.

How do you disable Magisk? You meant uninstall, obviously??
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] 253simon:
Not uninstall, I flash stock recovery_ramdisk proceed to update, then after update I flash patched recovery_ramdisk
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Right, duhh Norm. Hi, I'm Norm.

Would you be a deer and attach the stock recovery image file? Or share it somehow? I'm drawing a blank as to how to get it, and I think that I deleted the previous update.zip file.

When I get it, I will flash it using the same command as when we flashed the patched file, right? Or I guess that I can use huawei tweaker to flash it perhaps???
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] 253simon:
Yes... Give me about a half hour

I can zip both stock and patched

Thank you Simon.. For some reason, the phone won't download the full sized file. It only finds the 35kb file.

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] sdspieg:
I'm sorry but I am still confused. My BLA-A09 is unlocked and rooted. I am still on the original EMUI 8, but would like to upgrade. With the modified TWRP, I can now 'see' my internal storage in TWRP. When I try to run HuRUpdater with all of the rquired files in that folder, it does start, but it warns me that running the script will lock my bootloader again. And so I aborted it. Does that mean, that there is no way to upgrade a rooted EMUI without re-locking the bootloader again? Or will the original unlock code I got from Huawei (when that was still an option) work to unlock it again? Thanks for any help on this.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] 253simon:

Where might I find the latest full file for the C567E7R1P11 update?

I tried the firmware finder app and website and it did not appear.

I'm not looking for any amazing new functionality, but I want to shut up the update app notifications. I imagine that I can disable some OTA service or app, but I'd prefer to just update and be ready for.....9.1!!!

Culs - it fails miserably no matter what. For some reason, my phone only locates the 25kb file and nothing else. After it reboots , it fails, and then it doesn't locate the big file - as has happened with all other OTA's; those failed, reboot, big file found, success. Not this time.

I flashed the file that you sent me, but I am confused.

Before the flash I had version 229 E6.

After the flash of your file, I have 242 E6. So it looks like I skipped right over 229 E7 somehow; I thought that's the file that you sent me.

So now, I have 242 E6 and an update shows up in the update app as 242 E7 also showing up at 25kb.

Head scratch.

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Culs

I extracted the recovery_ramdisk img file from the update.app file from your file to have it patched by Magisk. As we always do. After flashing that file and rebooting, I get the white emui error screen. I tried it 2 more times in the case that I didn't get the button sequence fine after the "fastboot reboot" command-that timing is important (reboot, remove cable and press buttons). But I'm still not rooted.

A note : before doing all this, Magisk manager forced me to update it to v 7.1.2. That's the only difference from the last update, where everything worked fine.

Thoughts?

EDIT - was that Plop cartoon, Condorito? I loved reading those as a kid.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tokoam:
I got it working its way easier than i thought after reading some more info .Only problem is you loose twrp after installing magisk but it is fully unencrypted now .Aside from slight bump in performance f2fs unencrypted data parition runs much better accessing data but im trying to think what else Id really use it for I wish i could keep twrp as well.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
You can!
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tokoam:
So you can but through an app not through hard key ? which app is that by the way ?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
You can thru adb and tweaker for emui (Android, not windows; as windows uses the fb method which has recently been disallowed by Huawei, as opposed to the Android app which uses the shell)

It's the "dd" command with an if-of (input and output files) but that gears towards "erecovery_ramdisk", NOT recovery2, which is < emui 5

Yes I had the same issue after upgrading to initial pie on bla a09 and it kept saying already installed update still available and installed it 3 times with same result which was I believe .229 or something and with .242 update it fixed itself and I turned off bl unlock option in Dev options and installed .224 update.

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Lucky? You're wei off. "Those weis" is right.

So, should I attempt this 25kb update, which will likely fail and then it will reboot to hopefully download the big file?

And since I don't have the big file for extracting my own recovery_ramdisk img file, kindly remind me how I get a hold off it. If my brain is on, I believe that the magisk install option will patch recovery_ramdisk and copy the patched file to the download directory. Am I right?

I recently was able to upgrade EMUI 8.0 on my (unlocked) c567 through the TWRP by Pretoriano80 to EMUI 9.0.0.201. But for some reason it now is BLA-LGRP2 instead of the BLA-A09 it used to be. I guess I must have flashed another ROM (the one the Firmware Finder - maybe erroneously - suggested...). My phone now still works ok overall (including facial recognition - which I do like), except for the fact that my GPS no longer works. And - more importantly - I can no longer get into TWRP recovery. I can still flash recoveries with ADB - both the regular one and the Pretoriano80 one (no errors reported), but neither of them boot up.

Also - my phone now suggests upgrading to version 9.0.0.242(E).

My questions:

* is there a way to manually flash a more recent BLA-A09 version still, and if so - how?

* if I let my phone upgrade itself to that new version - will I lose the unlocked status?

Thanks for any hints..
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Just soak it in water
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
I also noticed that firmware finder suggests LGRP or whatever for our model. It's weird and thus I ignored it.

A few posts back is a link to a google drive with the 242 E6 file. It was shared by Culiacanhelpmost. Download it, and use the Emui flasher app to flash it; obviously, you need to be rooted. That should bring you back to BLA-A09 territory.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] sdspieg:
Thanks for getting back to me with a serious answer.

I have lost root, and I thought that the only way to root was through recovery - and I can't reboot in recovery. Is there another way!

Also can somebody please still answer my question whether I'll lose my unlock status, if I accept my phone's request to upgrade to version 9.0.0.242(E)?

Thanks!

1. What software version are you currently on?

2. Do you have the full update zip file for it?

My thought is that if you have that file, you can use the Huawei extractor app to pull the recovery_ramdisk img file, and use magisk to patch it. Then, onxe patched, you will flash it and regain root.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] sdspieg:
The EMUI version in my Android settings says 8.0.0. In the software update section, it says that the current version is 9.0.0.201. And even though, as I indicated, the build number has changed from BLA-A09 to BLA-LGRP2-OVS9.0.0.201, some things actually work better now. For instance, the Google Assistant 'Ok Google' voice prompt now works perfectly, whereas it never used to before with the 'right' build. Other than the GPS issue (and of course the lack of rooting), I'm not unhappy with everything.

For this one, yes I do. So it doesn't matter that it's not BLA-A09 (c567) any more?

I guess I can try that. But before I do (and maybe I just misunderstood culiacanazo, but soaking a perfectly good non-waterproof phone that works 99% well in the water does not strike me as a very constructive suggestion), couldn't somebody just tell me whether I will loose the unlocked bootloader if I say yes to the repeated requests from my phone to upgrade to 9.0.0.201? Thanks
