Hostile

I'm not the one being hostile, it's the idiot blaming at&t for not being able to rebranding, all I did was repeat what funky huawei told me.

---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

Who cares what you think the information I had came right from funky huawei as far as the rebranding goes, and your the one being delusional if you think that the US variant of the Mate 10 pro is something other than what it is. It doesn't have some special at&t firmware, not even close, and if you think that at&t would be part of some big conspiracy against you just shows that you're really a special kind of stupid. And as far as what T-Mobile did with the 6T, all carriers do that with phones purchased from them. And for your information I am not a fan of at&t nor do I give a damn about them.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Can't talk to you when you're smoking that.

How will you get it in your head that what I'm saying is what EVERYBODY, including funky, were saying! An as for "recanting", I've yet to hear or read otherwise. You've been the only one! Surprised it hasn't made it to the headlines here.

Actually, why don't you ask [MENTION=7050182]MishaalRahman[/MENTION] who the idiot is. I'll be waiting to see what you say then.

Alright.... Boys, let's settle down. We're all pissed about the treatment we've received. Fine. Was it att? Perhaps. Was it Trump or Gumby or Tom Brady? Maybe.

Opinions are like eyebrows, and we're all surely entitled to one. Let's stay positive and focused on the upcoming Pie update and how we can root after it.

Shake hands virtually, and let's remain respectful.

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] xphyle1971:
How did you apply the update? I see that the update is now on firmware finder. Are you rooted and did you use flashy? Is there any way to apply the update if you aren't rooted? There's no option to update locally in the check for update menu.

Do you guys know how to roll back to EMUI 8?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
That's how and I wouldn't know as I've stepped down from the stage as of late for varying reasons.

No, but may I ask why?

They're, at worst, equal.

I'm sure there are ways, though
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tokoam:
I can tell you right now if you try to manually roll back to 8.0 you will hardbrick your device as it uses a new xloader . I learned the hardway and had to use test point recovery on the rear of the phone to recover my phone.You will get black screen with red flashing led light,Once updated to 9.0 unless huawei makes a downgrade path or offers a downgrade via Hisuite you are stuck on 9.0.There is a supposed thread that tells you to use a older version of hi-suite to roll back but honestly its not worth the risk.In result to the brick the phone will have fastboot access but it will not let you flash stock partitions.

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tokoam:
Nope not yet Huawei is really trying to dismantle any modification to the system ,So far to where they have made changes to the kernel ramdisk thus effecting people using twrp.There is a work around for root but until john wu figures out what our limitations are we may have difficulties with twrp.EMUI 9 has some nice upgrades but this one might be a big factor for some looking to have full twrp access.I belive we are waiting for EMUI 9 kernel sources until then we will have to work what with got.

Did you see my post to you 2 pages back humbly and politely asking for a list of the steps needed to flash Pie? I keep waiting for the ota, but I might just do what you and 253simon did. But the steps are foggy, specially the magisk part.... Thank you

I'll get to you tonight but it's fair to warn you, read my post before the apk

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Harjyot1:
No Pie OTA on my phone yet. Has anyone gotten it recently?

The slow rollout of updates has been quite annoying, and combined with Huawei's well documented issues in the West, will probably be looking for another phone soon. Also, I realized recently I miss the headphone jack and expandable memory more than I originally thought.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Nabril, and whoever else might be confused by the wording in tuts... This is how i did it, twice.

No problems. Twice for different reason, not having had a problem.

First, you know the drill (bootloader unlock, adb and oem toggles, blah blah blah)...

With basics out of the way, let's move onto the "hard"stuff .

Get your hands on the 3 files needed: flashy and the firmware, which is now made up of only 2 files, for a total of, as i said, three; rename one of the 2 firmwares as usual. Unzip "the tool". Open flash.bat with administrator.

Follow instructions.

MAGIC!

Don't forget!!!! Cables matter! Use your original one.

Neither forget to thank where you get the stuff from.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Culiacasavior----thank you for the short and sweet explanation, unlike last night's State of I am Amazing Address.

What about the steps to install magisk? I know that there is wording out there somewhere, and so my goal is to assemble 1 post with all the steps spelled out. I believe that [MENTION=518121]tokoam[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5924972]253simon[/MENTION] did it, and so if either of them can point me to the steps they took, I will assemble it all. While THIS thread contains most of the information related to this endeavor, I want to, selfishly, assemble it into 1 clear list of steps.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Extract from the firmware, listen, we're NOT mistaken, recovery_ramdis.img, patch that thru the Canary in magisk, and flash it to the recovery_ramdisk partition. You will not have TWRP, but you weren't going to anyways. At least for now.

In order to boot, you'll need to pretend you're actually wanting to boot into the recovery, by pressing vol up with no cables attached. Presto.

It's a fix in the meantime. And a clever one at it, if you think about it.

I'm assuming you're familiarized on Canary, right?

Also, keep telling yourself that that "patched_boot" magisk just birthed for you, yes, does come from the recovery_ramdisk.

Don't flash it to ramdisk, since there isn't one in emui 9.

Edit: Also, heed my steps in the previous post, as flashy has been known to refuse to play if you cut your way ahead

PS, he is amazingly amazing, I'm amazed at how amazed we're at his amazing amazingness... Believe me, he's more amazing than a maze mazing amazingly to amaze
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Umm, you lost me, and I'm not familiar with Canary. I will look for the posts that talk about the magisk steps and assemble them so that us not-that-technical people can follow them simply.

Thank you
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Ok, are you familiarized with patching boots in Magisk, period? Yes or no? It's easy if you have, it's not nearly as daunting as it sounds, and it just may be the easiest part.

Do you want me to give you the img ready to just fastboot it in there?

I can do that, but you know, give a man a fish and you've fed him for a day; teach him to fish and you've fed him for life! Up to you!
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Culiacanazo... I love you dude. You've bee more than helpful since I bought this phone. But, you're losing me with the wording and the attempt to be funny or hip.

Boots? I assume that you mean bootstrap? No, i have never flashed anything through Magisk. But I am more than capable of following instructions. And thus the reason why I want to put something together that says, for example:

5. Open Magisk, select blah, and use the file you downloaded in step 3.

Versus

5. Flash boots in magisk.

Does that make sense? I want to dumb it down so that anyone that feels comfortable doing it, can read and follow the instructions.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Here's an initial draft, and I take no credit for the content. I am simply putting the steps together that have been quoted by others (@253simon and [MENTION=3209281]mangohorse[/MENTION])

BACKUP PICTURES AND INTERNAL STORAGE BEFORE BEGINNING & USE THE ORIGINAL CABLE - very important

1. Root, if you aren't rooted already

2. Download Beta Flashy v0.2 and extract it to your pc. Link THE TOOL™ v0.2 link (http://hicloud.storozhev.net/emui9/beta-flashy_0.2.zip)

3. Download USB drivers for pc and enable USB debugging and OEM unlocking on the phone.

4. Download the required ROM file from https://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-datab...irmware_page=0

5. Download the firmware and place it inside the same flashing tool extracted area from step 2.

6. Open the flashy tool and run the Flash.bat file inside it.

This will now flash the Android 9 Pie Update on Huawei Mate 10 Pro

7. Reboot the phone

Installing Magisk

This is the link to the patched recovery_ramdisk. probably have to rename the file to recovery_ramdisk

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ooo...Zq1MltHuL/view

1. You can install this by 1 of 2 routes: Install through Magisk Manager, or using your pc and adb.

MAGISK ROUTE

A. Download Magisk Manager (latest stable build) and install.

B. Check "force encryption" and "AVB 2.0" boxes. after you get that flashed

C. In the magisk settings, open the update channel and choose custom and copy and paste this address

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/to...s/release.json and it should pull up the update to install. and it should be 18.1-b7f269238.

I AM SORRY. I STOPPED THERE BECAUSE THE INSTRUCTIONS GET UNCLEAR. If anyone wants to help out or correct, we will appreciate it.

Boots are boot images. I'm not using another word.

The thing is Huawei recently started using/calling it ramdisk.

In fact, the usual command has been fastboot flash boot boot.img. Also, the final product magisk gives you is named patched_boot.img, so I'm not sure if you understand that.

I'll ask again: Have you ever patched boots with magisk?

Although i can get an idea... I'll get to that tonight, i gotta get going, I'll stop in 5 more hours
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
I've nevr patched boot with Magisk, but I've done it with adb
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
The heck! Be sure to catch stuff like this!

I believe you're mistaking patching with flashing

Then basically you're just gonna type another one that's no different in wording; i myself am not sure I'm expressing it clearly.

Rephrasing: you say there are many tuts out there, and something along the lines of not one being fully complete, but the info rather scattered... Then say you wanna word it nicely. I tried to be as simple as i could, and you tell me i need to word it in words like the other guys do... Lol...

I'm confused..

That's why I'm repeating back to you what i understood.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, so,

•Google up "Magisk Canary"

•it'll show you (I'm assuming) many links, but you know better and will click on the XDA one.

•Skim the article/post for what's a link (links stand out, you know!) to the Canary Channel. Copy it.

•Open Magisk, go\ to settings, then change the update channel option to custom and paste the link. Refresh the app by killing it if it doesn't refresh on its own.

It'll ask you to update first the manager, then the actual magisk.

That's when you're gonna patch

•choose patch image as the method. Provide the RECOVERY_RAMDISK i told you about in an earlier post.

When it's done with it it'll return you a patched boot img. and just take it from there. That's what you're gonna flash from fastboot. But instead of

fastboot flash ramdisk RAMDISK.img

or

fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img

or any other, variant, byproduct, derivative, or orphan command, you're gonna flash

fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk patched_boot.img

.

Lastly, boot into Emui by holding holding volume up when starting or restarting the phone without having any cables attached to it.

I hope this was clearer, and apologies if often times I'm not helpful enough, as my job seldom allows it.

I'll be up, working, if you need me.

Edit: Also, I'm not sure if you have to, but I'm sure it won't hurt to, boot completely up once in between the updating of the firmware and the installation of magisk... I believe you're better off this way so you can go into developer options and toggle oem and adb, lest you have problems booting or with frp...

Remember, it's Huawei we're talking about lol (i wonder if there's a limit before I'm frozen for editing this post a thousand times in 10 minutes)
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
I just caught that mistake. We have A09 and not L09. So where can I find the ROM file for our variant?

Yes, I want to put together one simple list of steps with all or most of the information gathered in one place. Versus sending anyone to look at 3 different links that then send you elsewhere. I'm trying to clean it up, that's all.

Enough people have done this that we don't HAVE TO have scattered information.

[MENTION=7182553]culiacanazo[/MENTION]

I took a look at my steps so as to update the INSTALLING MAGISK section of my instructions that I am assembling. I read your quick instructions that mention how to patch the ramdis.img file using the Canary channel of Magisk, and naturally they match what is quoted in the thread by [MENTION=4592965]Athanatos81[/MENTION]. In his thread, he mentions this:

So to me, it looks like he's providing the patched file right above, no? Then, is there a need to patch it using the Canary channel? That has me confused.

After that, he provides the instructions for doing the patching, should you want to do it yourself. Why, if he provided the patched file????
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
I don't know why he did that, as imho, not only he's spoonfeeding his readers, but he's also term tremendously wasting his time in having written all that up to begin with.

It isn't likes, because he would have stopped at providing stuff, but if i have to guess it's whatever he's been smoking... Lol
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Ok. So? I'll ask him, I guess.

I wasn't questioning what he did, I am questioning the logic and the reason so to understand it
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tokoam:
You guys are all making this seem harder than it really is .Magisk 18.1 now works with huawei devices you don't have to use canary build anymore.John Wu already mentioned this in his release notes.Im running official release without any custom channel.And as far as patching your recovery ramdisk in my experience just as long as it's the same phone and (emui 9), the versions don't matter.:eek:
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
thanks [MENTION=518121]tokoam[/MENTION] . I hate to double guess and be overly cautious, but unfortunately all my dealings with this phone have been complicated and tricky. I simply don't want a brick, that is all.

So. You flashed Pie with the flashy tool, and then installed Magisk 18.1 stable? How did you install it since there is no twrp to flash a zip? Or is there an apk that can be run?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tokoam:
Installed Magisk manager official release.Then Simply hit install button in Magisk manager .Select patch boot image file.Find your stock recovery ramdisk .Once selected it will patch the file .Pull the patched boot image from your download directory.Then flash that file to your recovery ramdisk .
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
And where is that file found? From the steps below?

II. How to get the fitting recovery_ramdisk for your own OS version

1. Download Huawei Firmware Finder, search for your device and download your desired firmware version.

2. Extract update.app from downloaded update.zip.

3. Download Huawei Update Extractor, start this tool, go to "Settings" and uncheck "Verify header checksum".

4. Go to "Extract" and open your update.app.

5. Extract RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img (Yes, there is no "k" at the end), rename it, if you want to, and then transfer it to your phone, if you want to patch it

I flashed the patched img file that culiacanster shared with me following the command in that thread,

Fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk patched_boot.img.

The reboot command, fastboot reboot recovery, didn't do anything, so I powered off and rebooted.

I installed magisk manager and the screenshot shows.

Did I do something wrong?

I think that I caught my mistake. I didn't boot into recovery with vol up and power; i rebooted normally into system.

Can i reboot into recovery now? Or do I have to reflash the patched boot image and then reboot into recovery (in essence, do it again)?

I'm sorry, but the instructions are scattered over several replies amd threads. I read and go back threads to double check, but sometimes the replies are cryptic and poetic and not 100% helpful - no offense to anyone.

As with anything, if instructions are spelled out and precise, anything can be accomplished. Hell, I've rooted almost every single one of my phones and installed custom roms amd kernels. And I did it by following directions and/or asking, but notbreqlly knowing the technical jargon and reasoning for some of the steps.

Anyway, we move on. I appreciate all of anyone's help.

I caught my mistake, and I simply asked if I should redo all the Magisk steps, or if I can just reboot into recovery, as stated in the How to root thread.
