Culiacanazo

I'm sorry that I don't share your prowess of prose (POP), and i sensed a couple of insults or jabs in your last diatribe. I shall ignore those because you're that funny guy at the end of the bar, apparently. And yes, I do read before asking and I read your replies and pms.

Understand that when one is battling with a frustrating issue, a long-winded run-on sentence with innuendo and comedy and references to Mao Tse Tung isn't helpful. For example. I asked about loosing root with the reboot and if it was happening to others. Toko replied "not to me". Fine. You wrote a sermon that only requires 1 scroll gesture on the xda app and it contained 27.3% of substance. Then you told me to "grab the apk and come back." Ok. I might try that or not. I've come to terms with the fact that our phone is stubborn and troublesome, and maybe mine is bipolar with add. Who knows. I have it rooted and it works fine, and perhaps I've taken it as far as it can go. I know that someone used xposed on theirs, but I don't dare ask because I won't get a simple reply with concrete steps or help.

A few weeks ago, you suggested that I wipe it clean and start over, I think. That reply went in circles and said a lot of stuff, and I'm not totally clear on the message.

You've been extremely helpful, and I truly remain appreciative. I've re-read your last 2 posts a few times and I just closed the app and went on my way.

You truly have the gift of gab, but maybe this isnt the forum (ahemm...) for it.

My intent is not to be hurtful, but I simply share how I feel.

well let me tell you what? Your senses in charge of sensing the senses are not sensing sensibly, whatever you perceived wasnt for you, silly rabbit! They were for that dude that told you to stay on topic! How did you arrive at that, if last i checked i was STILL trying to help ya! (Emphasis is not due to ""how long it takes you to learn" but to the fact that you won't take the easiest advice ive seen given. Its all!
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Gilberticus:
Hey nabril15, I was the dude who messaged Culiacanazo and figured out the root trick with unplugging after pushing the patched file over. I'm in the same boat as you with root disappearing after a reboot. Just wanted to post here so you don't feel crazy as I just usually lurk around.

For now, I'm just re-patching after I reboot (which is rare these days). Gonna tinker with this a bit to see if I can fix it. I'll post here if I come up with anything.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Thanks Gilberticus, Roman Senator from Sparta.

I reflash the patched the file after an accidental reboot, as you do. I don't want to reboot the phone, of course, but since the power button is near the middle of the phone, I've rebooted by simply having held the phone by the sides and accidentally pressing the button a few seconds. I was going to ask in the Magisk thread, but I'm sure that there is no answer. Tokoam doesn't have the issue, and I think that culiacanazo doesn't either; for some reason, you and I have the issue.

Definitely report on any findings...Thanks

Above emphasis

mine

No i don't, but i had a

different one

. And a ton other in other devices. Tried and true OFTEN TIMES, not always but those are the most serious cases which yours doesn't seem to be, go away with what I've told you before that you won't do. But, hey, man, to each its own! You do you, by all means, be my guest (and NO, I'm not mad or anything that resembles it)...

Just stick a little longer, tho. Mine was crashing EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I pinched the screen (zoom gesture), in EVERY. SINGLE. APP. whether that app supported zoom or not (i eventually "tried" to zoom in apps that didn't support it in order to troubleshoot); also irrelevant to the issue was the apps reliance or lack of Webview). Actually, i could zoom in and out by "(single) tapping twice" and holding it the second tap and moving in either direction without releasing the finger (in, of course, apps that supported it, i.e. apps that zoomed in or out, whereas apps that had never had zoom capabilities neither zoomed (wow!) nor (ta-da!!!) crashed!!!

To make a(n already) long story (somewhat) short, I could NOT for the life of me erradicate the cause in spite of having pinpointed the trigger, so a fix to address it with minimal perturbance to what was at the time my only "reliable" phone and what was and is and it'll continue to be till the end of times an

extremely

finicky device was wiped up from the drawing drawing board.

So i did the only other thing i could have done that wasn't what everyone dreads, AND! (I CAN PUT MONEY ON THIS!),

I tried to download the apk that you mentioned in your reply before (EMUI flasher), but the google link doesn't work, and someone in that thread reported the same issue with the google drive page where the apk is housed.

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Maybe it has to do with the fact that the file name is a scull and bones???
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
There! Just rename the extension after download! ;) You can also rename the whole of it if it soothes your being... Something like "UnicornsAndRainbows.apk" or "ImNoMalwareNoSiree.apk" or "WAH!way BOOt-E.R.apk"

The sky is the limit!

Lol! Just messing with you!
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tokoam:
??I love the suspense guys Lord knows there hasn't been any action in any of these threads.In quite some time,Please do continue I'm not promoting conflict but it's been boring lately.:o
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Download it, and you'll become part of it! Can't get closer to the action than that!

Are you a LEADer or FOLLOWer? ;)
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] pickupman66:
Anyone on pie experienced issues with sync at times? I've had times where my Outlook and other apps do not sync unless opened. Then upon reboot, I am inundated with notifications. Quite unacceptable when I rely on my device for business.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
There's a new update (only the security patch); i already took it without problems! If you want I'll make a video but following my instructions, if you're rooted anyways, you should bump into no problems whatsoever:

•Accept the download. It better be the full one. If it isn't, when it downloads, delete it or rename it or move it or whatever floats your boat, so that it will fail and upon reboot prompt you with the full file. Make sure you don't have any "automatics" toggled on and also ---make sure the system doesn't beat you to flashing either it or the full one...---

•Once it downloads, go fetch it, it'll be in/data/update/HwOUC/"some_number", transfer it to the sdcard.

•install the skulls and bones provided here; again, it isn't mine, it's from some dude from the (remind me, [MENTION=4944167]nabril15[/MENTION]?) thread, but i believe his link was wonky or something. Thank him, olddroid i believe his nick is. Don't ask why, just rename the extension to apk. Lol!!

•if (you wanna make your life easier and you) haven't installed it yet, install tweaker for emui

•proceed to flash your stock recoveries with tweaker ("e-" and regular one). Also, it'd be a good idea to get your magisk patched boot right about now if you haven't done so, it'll make it easier down the road to reroot... Stable works fine. I'll attach mine if you don't have them

•flash downloaded firmware with skulls and bones (no need to rename the downloaded ota file)

•Profit

WHAT PROFIT, you say? Well, I may be wrong, but i don't wanna be the guinea pig who will tell you whether doing it differently will relock your bootloader. You will lose root but it's an easy reflashing to your recovery ramdisk.

Also, please tell me, regardless of whether you follow these instructions or not, if you find them understandable. Thank you.

**ALSO: if you're decrypted, take appropriate steps if you wish to remain thus (i.e., manually INTERCEPT and change the [re]boot process before it goes into System -- you've been warned [wish someone would have reminded ME!])...**

---Bonus: in case you didn't know and care to, twrp-berkely works for our device. Been using it for a while but i forgot to tell you
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dimmmmkko:
Just got a march security patch as well, 9.0.0.224.

Sadly, not any word about bug fixes or some new features..
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Hey Culi and thanks.

1. Where can twrp be found? I searched for twrp-berkeley and only found 1 reference, https://dl.twrp.me/berkeley/. Is that it?

2. Can you elaborate/translate this "ALSO: if you're decrypted, take appropriate steps if you wish to remain thus (i.e., manually INTERCEPT and change the [re]boot process before it goes into System"

thanks a lot man
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Hahaha don't hold your breath, man!

1. That's the one! You know them 2 devices were separated at birth, don't you?

2. Are you decrypted?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
I am not sure, I think so. When I was on OREO and had TWRP, I was able to navigate my phone, so I believe that I was/am decrypted.

I just got the warning about the upgrade, so I'll follow your initial instructions about how to take it.

I've tried to install the skull and bone apk but it won't install. The screen switches too quick between install and error that I cannot see what the error is. What could it be?

Also, I see that your instructions mention flashing recovery before flashing the latest OTA update. Is that correct?

And based on your last few sentences, we don't know if taking the OTA and installing it without doing anything first will lock the bootloader or allow us to reroot after, right? I am making sure. From your wording, it sounds like you didn't try that approach and were not willing to experiment with it.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
•You would know if you are because it's a hassle attaining a decrypted state nowadays. But you can check in magisk or settings (see screenshot). The reason you could do that was because a particular setup/recovery/firmware (version) combo could decrypt seamlessly.

•as to the app not installing, my guess can be as good as yours i have no clue as i can't begin to imagine what untold sufferings your poor little device has had to endure! Lol, ok, ok, just kidding, but just in case it got corrupted with the renaming thing, redownload it from the original thread, first post (no, this isn't that broken Google link ;) ). Disregard the title of the thread, as i have a hunch you pay too much attention to those, which i guess it is a good thing; thing is, I've used it more than once already in the 10 pro. No hiccups.

•i did what? Ok, hold on. Rephrasing in progress. I'm pretty sure I've done it without flashing stock recovery, but i don't let my advice of flashing stock right before collect dust somewhere in a dark corner because, as you've implied, why risk it? it only really takes but an extra minute (if you keep the files at hand, which you should!)

Reroot is fine. Your boot won't lock.

Still, you should have your lock nicely tucked away in some warm and cozy cloud.

Go handle it! :cool:
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Thanks culiacanazo

I'm going to take a moment to *****....why is installing a simple security update so complicated on this rooted phone??? Dammn. Every time that an update comes out, we have to take 12 steps and reconfirm and reflash and do all this crap. It's getting old.

Ok. Done.

I was able to install the emui flasher in that link. Thanks.

The screenshot of magisk shows that encryption was checked off when I opened it. Does that mean that I'm encrypted?

I was clarifying that your instructions suggested that flashing the patched image file comes before flashing the downloaded firmware. (look at the last 3 steps):

Proceed to flash your stock....

Flash downloaded firmware...

Profit

Is that right?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
The magisk screenshot that I forgot to attach
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
It only takes what it takes because we're rooted and Huawei is giving us hell to update. Well not really but if you let them update you "normally", you'll relock, and that's a ***** right there.

Also, let me clear something up, when you say that I say to flash the patched blah blah i suppose you mean i said the stock recovery, am i right?

Do so in system without rebooting, from the tweaker, and immediately afterwards flash firmware with the flasher; doing it differently will have you lose root and then the flasher won't work. Again, this is just my security measures, as it isn't readily stated anywhere that you must be on stock, but then again it could be because the 20's root method may be different? I don't know. Remember the app was shared in a20's thread, after all

Haha tough luck, disregard the encryption part as it doesn't apply to you and proceed
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
I understand. So, these are the steps as I see them, and I want you to run them through your head Culiacanazo:

1) I received the smaller update ota file, which I renamed as instructed by you.

2) I will need to reboot so as to have the software update app find the full file. But after that reboot, I will loose root, and therefore EMUI flasher will not work. So, I will have to reflash the old patched ramdisk file so that I have root. Then I will be able to use EMUI flasher.

3) Using Magisk, I will patch the recovery ramdis file from the new update file, and flash it using the Tweaker app. I'm assuming that I can get the recovery_ramdis file from the full update file that will get downloaded in step 2. Reboot into recovery (vol + and power), and double check that Magisk is installed after boot.

4) Using EMUI flasher, flash the big file that was downloaded in step 2.

5. Profit (your word)

Are those the correct steps to follow?? and do they make sense to you? YES OR NO (i'm not yelling).
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Gilberticus:
Hey nabril15,

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.

Recovery is still bugged out though. Are you gonna try TWRP on your device?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tokoam:
Nabril you finally seem to get it I'm so proud of you.:highfive:
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
You will not lose root the first time you mention it. After flashing the full update you will
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Thanks a lot. I will pass on twrp for now since there isn't a huge benefit to having it. Sure, I can do backups, but that's about it since there aren't roms to flash.

Are you referring to the step 2? At the moment, whenever I reboot, I lose root.

Wait. You're suggesting to do what you mentioned in your last post NOW, and then reboot to get the full update, aren't you??
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Token one....I am not sure how to take this, but thank you...I think.

Thus far every update released has been handled differently, and thus why this is so frustrating. You and others seem to know the technical details and reasons for what happens with every step that we need to follow to do something (root, install an update, etc). I, though tech savy, don't know those details and reasons, and thus why there is hesitation with every step. My M10P is my daily phone, and so I don't have room for much experimentation and mistakes.

Anyway. Thanks
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tokoam:
It's not your fault Huawei is making the scene difficult.I blame them, Good job otherwise I kinda want the p30. But not gonna shell that kinda cash right now.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
OK, so

I upgraded Magisk Manager to 7.1.1 since it wouldn't let me use the app unless I upgraded it. I then did the direct install in Magisk of I'm not sure what. On the screen I see that the recovery img got patched. I did not reboot and I did nothing else. I downloaded the 3gb OTA file, and I used EMUI flasher from the thread (not skyll and bones) to install the 1 big file (update_full_base.zip). I started that 40 minutes ago, and the spinning red wheel of flashing continues (in the EMUI flasher app).

Is it normal for it to take that long? So I should just keep waiting?

Should I end the app, flash stock recovery or reboot, and then attempt it again?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
O

M

G

Where do i start?

No!

It isn't normal.

Expect a lot of edits as i catch up

Edit 1. I don't know if you still are there, but let me ask you, did magisk ever grant emui root? Because on my side it's been hanging for a while now, i usually have to open "x root" app, leave it, go to magisk, leave it, open "x root" app again, and THEN magisk will receive the substitute user request (su request)...

Over...

Edit 2: (at the time of writing i haven't read any replies from you so whatever i say doesn't take any accounts, if any, into consideration)

Nabril. It's simple.

•You have the full update? ✓

•You have root? ✓

•Tweaker and flasher? ✓ i mean i bet other people do it differently but this is supposed to be the easy way...

•Nothing pending? As in "did this"," applied that", "deleted here", "installed there", of the "reboot for changes to take effect" kind? ✓

•flash stock recovery with tweaker, or leave it if you recall IT being the last thing installed in that partition (patching the recovery with magisk counts as that) ✓

•flash update with flasher making sure it has been granted su (otherwise, it won't tell you or stop, it will endlessly keep going - the only way it abruptly stops is when you have no root or it is explicitly denied). ✓

•reboot (or it will reboot on its own, can't remember) ✓

•manually reroot...

Where or how do you manage to get stuck? :eek:

Edit 3:

Yes there are. You must be looking on all the wrong places.

Hear hear. Since treble you will hardly find them named in the old conventional way (rom "xyc" for the "abc" device; you still sort of do, but they'll be under honor view 10, or Berkeley (missed the story about how 1000 prominent devs got a free device, didn't you?) So the rom scene is far from dull.

Again, as i was saying before, most roms nowadays are gsi's, so that's something to keep in mind.

Then, there's openkirin, running 3 flavors of pie! Lastly, I'm on kangvip right now

you lost me in spite of how much i tried...

All the more reason to immediately take a backup. Although you being encrypted it kinda throws rocks in your path... Your best bet would be to make a nandroid (twrp backup) from whichever partitions are NOT encrypted, onto an USBOTG (universal serial bus - on the go, otherwise known as a flash drive or memory stick), and the rest (or as much as you can, anyway) from within Android using something such as "Migrate"...

Anyways. Been here a while and you're nowhere to be found. I've got to bounce.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Thank you man, yes, I'm still here.

EMUI flasher does have root or su rights in magisk.

I did everything in the checklist, but I remain unsure if I really have stock recovery. I tried to flash it with tweaker (as a precaution), but it gave me an error with no description. In that app, I used the flash recovery button, and not flash partition. Is that right?

As I said before, I did go into magisk and do the direct install. SHould I have rebooted after that?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
No, there's no need to reboot after flashing it.

There might not be a need to flash the recovery to begin with as i said before, reason for both of the above being that it will "finish" flashing in the recovery included in the firmware you're flashing from the flasher, if my calculations are correct. However those are assumptions. Either way, that's not causing you whatever problem it is that you're facing, and in the worst case scenario (of the above) it isn't hurting, if anything, it's helping (in case the flasher doesn't modify the way the device behaves normally after applying an OTA (i.e., upon rebooting into recovery from applying said update it frowns upon twrp)...

Basically, if the above confuses you, don't sweat it. You need not do anything nor it means anything. All I'm saying is... How about a video call? In lieu of remote desktop?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
An update. I woke up to an updated phone that decided to do it all on its own. Sure, all auto enable and auto update and auto everything was disabled. I left a copy of the update zip file in the directory, and perhaps that was the culprit. The phone didn't reboot on its own, which I find weird since all updates end with a reboot, and of course, I don't have Magisk installed. I will attempt to flash the patched boot img file later today.

sigh

How do you say "coño" in English and Mandarin?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
That's all I've got to say.

That's all i could muster!!
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
I'm not a big fan of mustard.

I flashed the patched_boot.img file that you included in your long post, and Magisk is now installed.

Thank you CuliaCANazo, and I just can't wait until the next update and whatever it will take to get it or flash it or just let it do its own thing.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
This shouldn't be how it's done, not that there is anything wrong with it, but since with every reboot you increase the chances of losing root (try a leash, lol and don't tie it to a tree or bench!), why don't you make a script and reboot (when needed for an installation of, say,a magisk module or something of the sort) like this?

After SU,

setprop ctl.restart zygote

from terminal, no computer or cables needed.

Because you do keep a terminal in some dark corner of that rusty app drawer, don't you?

Yaaayyy!!!!

We all can't wait for it!

BTW,i like how you typed that up.

But next time let's try the no check route since it's your daily driver, yeah ;) more tedious but as foolproof as checking that you have 0 typos, that's it!
