A happy Friday to us all.

I'm about to flash the gratiously-uploaded file that culiacanupload shared, but I ask a reminder-type question. While these updates are fairly routine, I question before acting in the name of not ruining my only working phone.

My memory banks (and previous posts) say that before flashing a file with emui flasher, I should flash stock recovery so as to remove magisk. Is that step an absolute requisite? I ask before at this point, I'm not 100% sure if I have the correct recovery img file for my current load, 242C567E6R1P11 on my phone somewhere or on the laptop that I use to flash.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Oh come on your asking for the passing of flaming right there lol

I believe in your skills, look, so far, how long it's been? And your worst nightmare hasn't happened, why would it now! And to be honest, i didn't even read because as i mentioned, body is there, culia-how many? I mean who? Lol

And no it isn't 420, it's just that I'm over this time, not there, later if you haven't been SOS'ed, MayDayed to ñ? ??

If you were a Sith Lord, your name would be Darth Evadus. Or Darth Mumblus.

I would love to see you as witness in a courtroom answering the lawyer's questions. Or not...

Culiacannedtuna/someone else

So, do I need to remove Magisk? I don't think that I did it in past updates, but that shouldn't be an answer to proceed, no?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
What the hell did i write, even i didn't understand.

But hey on a great note, what you meant elsewhere just now hit me: you wannna be able to see where camera has been looking at when closing!

I've never looked into that but the fact that i haven't heard of any thing secret thumbnail location is because it is a long shot, pal, although i did find this, it was only 1 file but it wasn't openable by any thing at my disposal.

The

It's sure gotta at least be openable

12 weeks ago, you suggested to someone that they culiacan throw their phone in water. Well, I'm about to and I'll switch to a Tracfone flip phone.

Damn this is frustrating.

I attempted twice to use emui flasher to flash the big 3.5gb file, and it just hung on the red circle for 10 minutes or so ; yes , the app had root privileges.

I thought that it wouldn't work with the system update app frozen, I defrosted it, and it found the update, naturally. Since emu flasher wasn't working, I decided to try the ota route. The system update app found the 3.5gb file, downloaded it, and rebooted to install. At 98% or so of installation, it failed. I rebooted, and I was still on E6 but unrooted. I went to bed and left it as is. Aggggggggggggghhhhhhhh.

The system update app now shows the 35kb update that has been showing all along.

Ed Iht: i just took the 25kb update by ota, and it rebooted and it shows E7 installed now. Do I really have it? Who knows. Frankly, who cares.

Have a good Saturday cooler and less humid than my Miami one.

And by the way i forgot a little detail last we spoke.

Culiacangracias

Why am I debloating? I don't feel bloated. The update didn't install anything new.

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------

Yes, what did you write? Were you sponsored by Dos Equis? Tecate? Some IPA?

Oh, and "openable"? What Oxford dictionary did you pull that one from? The same one that has "seriousness" as a supposed word? Or from the one that turns any noun, proper or common, into a verb?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Oh by the way, no need to anything prior as i had of late rectified to reflect when emui flashing, however, this update has proved unsuccessful to pull thru with the flasher, I've got to get up to speed on anything that might have changed .

For right now, since you took the leap, dear guinea pig, I'll just reflash my current one and OTA the new one thru a "virginly" state, how do you like ota as a verb and virginly? The beauty of English and its englishizing abilities
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
In case any one is worried about me, I've been active around here.

Lol

Jk

Actually wanted to report i couldn't flash successfully because i had twrp in the e-rec, once i flashed the downloaded asset (no check img) on it, everything went thru as usual, no hiccups.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
I will keep this simple.

What were you trying to flash, the E7 update?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
What's that supposed to mean? :confused:

Anyways, i don't know, if it's the last one yes, but the problem was in flasher not counting on the e-rec not being there. Fix
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] revjamescarver:
Kinda strange...

That is pretty bad, here in Tucson which really is on the low end of the totem pole as far as their infrastructure investment goes I never get lower than 14.8Mbps, and have gotten as high as 151Mbps, and I'm on metro which never gets priority over regular TMO customers. I'm thinking either they have really fallen behind or something else is going on (maybe with the tower you're connecting to), who knows but with carrier aggregation you should be getting a lot more speed.

Happy day of fatherhood, to those on the thread that are fatherly and contributed little to the birthing process.

We all know that after flashing the patched recovery and rebooting with vol+power, etc we are supposed to reinstall directly using Magisk to prevent losing root with a reboot.

Surely I did that 2 weeks ago. Yesterday, I accidentally held the phone in a way that pressed the power button and it rebooted. I lost root. It's not a big deal to reflash, but didn't I avoid that with the direct install??

Whenever I've done the direct install step, when done, it asks to reboot, but I didn't reboot. Could that be my mistake perhaps?

It's a curious question and nothing more since there isn't much to discuss about our variant.

Huappy Father's Wei
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
I would have to reproduce what you said which I'm not in a position to, at the moment.

However i don't recall that being the case for a while! (Think something like before we could install directly with the zip and it had to be a patched boot).

Happy father's day to you and all, too, thank you.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pretoriano80:
If you accidentally reboot (by pressing Power button for too long) it shouldn't loose root, but the system would boot to an "unrooted" system (e.g like booting without pressing Volume UP button).

Rebooting again with the Volume Up pressed should boot again to a rooted system.

P. S. I can't see how accidentally rebooting would remove Magisk, because that would mean that Magisk patched recovery was replaced by the stock one.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Preto

Your theory is correct.

A few apps froze, so I felt like rebooting the phone. Sure.

So I shut it down, and rebooted it with vol+ and power, and surely I kept root.

Living on a Prayer

You take my phone, I want to break it I swear...

According to this

https://www.xda-developers.com/emui-91-rollout-older-huawei-honor-devices/

Emui 9.1 will be coming "soon" to Tonga, Barundi, Cameroon, Estonia, Bermuda, and Northern Egypt. And God or no one knows what it will take to flash it and if we'll loose root and have a locked bootloader. I tried to attacj the jpeg of the schedule, but alas the xda forum app produced an error.

Let's see when we'll receive it. What's the over/under on October??
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Now it is i who can't figure this out, even after taking it!

Any clues?

Damned file won't upload

Basically update redetects itself and tries to redownload itself
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
I think that I went through that. I think.

What update did you get?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
They're nowhere near as big and advanced...

Ooppsss, i meant they're not a danger

Hey nvm i got it, thx, are you suffering from the same still, I've figured it out
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Culicanadianbacon--what are update are you referring to? No, I figured mine out but that was a while ago for the C567E7 update.

If you're updating now, it must be something newer - the June patches perhaps? Juknow?

I also have not received the update yet :rolleyes:
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
I won't share it because one i finally stopped it annoying me, and deleted it, two, because it will likely create more of the same problems i had, and three it probably is just a sec update
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Why not? There's nothing else to discuss..

In the xda labs, I came across an app called Franco kernel manager, which looks decent with a lot of settings.

Have any of you played with the stock kernel's settings? Can we even experiment?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
I just got the notification for the 264 update. It's been a while, so remind me please an don't scream.

I should "remove" magisk by flashing the stock recovery of the previous update (my current version) , right?

Or do I just take the update and hopefully it works?

Yes, I forgot what I've done in the past.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pretoriano80:
To install the official ota yes, you need to flash the stock recovery first.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Thanks Pret... I hadn't seen you in a while.

So can I use Tweaker for Huawei to flash the file? Do i choose flash partition or flash recovery?

I've never used the program and have always used adb to do it. Using Tweaker sounds easier, but I want to make sure that I do it right, obviously.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pretoriano80:
I don't know what this "tweaker" is! Just flash the recovery_ramdisk with fastboot.

"fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk filename.img"
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Huawei tweaker, it's got a flasher built in, so does emui flasher
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Right. I should select FLASH RECOVERY, right? And then I will select recovery and not eRecovery. Correcto?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Ten four, although it technically doesn't matter, it's just how you access it that will change
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
I attempted to take the ota, but the small file failed, so the 3gb file downloaded. I made sure to copy it to internal storage before using emui flasher to flash it. It flashed, rebooted, and 264 was on. I'm uploading the file to G drive to share it.

I then extracted the recovery file from update.app of the 3gb file, patched it with magisk, and adb flashed it. Success. Wow. I can't believe it.

Now. Back to my previous question about playing with the kernel settings; has anyone done it? Has anyone changed cpu governors perhaps?

Can we even try it?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
A09 is not supported by DC-unlocker or HCU (also by DC-unlocker) as far as I know. Huawei closed those gates on recent firmware for the global Mate 10 Pro too :/
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Hello...I just bought this phone, but I haven't activated it yet on ATT; I'm still debating whether I want to keep it for use.

In this post you mention that you haven't received the update - what version are you on? I'm using mine on wifi only and with no sim card, and I have 8.0.0.65 with the security patch from December 117. So I wonder if an update will download if and when I activate the phone.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] derausgewanderte:
I'm on BLA-A09 8.0.0.112(C567). I remember when I booted the phone and set up my account it received an update. I don't remember whether the mobile account was necessary. I think it shouldn't matter. My Essential is currently on WiFi only and it received all the updates. Even though I'm not getting the latest (partially broken camera) .119, I am extremely happy with the phone and use it as my main. My Essential PH-1 just received the official Pie but the camera and the beautiful screen of the Mate 10 Pro keep me on that for some time. I also love the Huawei Navigation dock, which you can have right at your thumb tip, better in my opinion than the Pie pill.

I'll find a way to get it updated at some point. One thing for you unfortunately is that you won't be able to unlock it since Huawei ended that option recently.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Thank you deraus

Actually, I got an unlock code on the last day of the website.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] xphyle1971:
Apparently Huawei USA is still pushing this update despite knowing that it is breaking 2 camera modes. I just got the update notification this morning. You would think that they would have pulled the update after allegedly being aware of the reported problems.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] pickupman66:
I wonder if we can use the previous camera apk to get it back working.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
What account? With some Huawei app? Or when you activated the phone on your carrier's network?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Yeah I was about to report the same!

Had my phone done a cleaner flash, it would have had to have been dipped in muriatic acid.

Camera bugs. That's it.

Meh! So much for the Wow way!

---------- Post added at 07:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 AM ----------

Dude in light of everything lately, this is what *** I *** would do regarding whether to keep it:

----DON'T!!!

To be sure, it's an awesome piece of technology, all the more ESPECIALLY when put head to head against similar rival offerings, don't get me wrong, but the US variant has been the most far and wide, openly neglected by Huawei, and the way things are, they're not gonna change anytime soon.

WHAT I would do is, DO GET what my heart is set on, just a DIFFERENT variant.

AT&TO had us (read, the bla-a09), on track to be the most tightly controlled of the mate family, in case you didn't happen to know.

I don't know the answer to your question, but there's a Huawei "mobile services" app (and account) to be had, if you really want it, since it's not for us, the ugly American ducklings. Not really, really, really necessary, tho.

I second ALL your praise, but that dock is the cherry on the cake!

Only thing annoying is having to disable it from time to time to change settings that may throw a fuss over being "obscured"... I mean, one would think the system would be able to differentiate its own!

AAAAANNNNDDDD... Hmm!!! So pie it is, eh?

As I was just telling Pret elsewhere, I don't know whether to cry or just plain laugh, any more!

I don't care about other brands, as they're expected to outdo each other, but it just sucks that there are other, obviously more affordable (Huawei!) options out there, that are better equipped than just this (American) variant! :mad:
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Culia...I am starting to feel the way you do. I wanted to upgrade my 3 year-old LG V10 with something definitely rootable. I searched for rootable phones with good activity, and the Mate10 caught my attention and so did the hardware. I bought it from swappa, and I've had it in its box for 2 weeks wondering whether to use it or not. I am contemplating switching to Simple Mobile (a prepaid variant of T-Mobile) so as to lower my ATT bill and break that damn dependency on them. I guess, I am contempt in knowing that, at a bare minimum, I can root the phone and get rid of the bloatware. I see some ROMS, so I could play with those. As far as updates, it almost sounds like it's better to root and disable the OTA update service since each update has broken something. Damn.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Swappa? So it COULD be a different variant! If so, you're lucky, because they can all be easily (and freely) rebranded and updated, and Huawei gave 1000 free phones that are identical to this one, just wrapped up inside a different casing, to renowned, worldwide devs, and so developing they are and we are able (I know I have!) to run those goodies here if that's what rocks your boat, you'd be in luck. Let me know now! :D

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] breadman2843:
Doubt that it's ever going to happen. They just didn't sell enough of these to make it worth the effort to do. The thought of an instant brick is enough to make me shy away from trying. This is by far the most confusing, frustrating device I have ever owned....
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mox512:
Agree. This mate 10 pro ends my 5 device history with Huawei.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
You can't. Don't. End up in brick.

That's not how it is...

This is a serious topic to be commenting on if you don't know how something works.

They didn't sell enough because of what we all know but that's another story, not because the phone might be a piece of crap, which it isn't. I realized you didn't say that, but that's my subjective impression implied from your demeaning tone.

It instantly bricks yes, because, the U.S. having granted carriers power to execute draconian lockdown measures on devices, the device's hardware ONLY for this variant is different, so as to disallow that.

I so want things to change because even though I'm very displeased at how things are around this right now, this is the only phone I've ever stayed in stock because that's how I've wanted it, not because it wasn't unrootable or because there hadn't been any choices.

And the battery, man, what do you say about that?

It's like knowing continuing with your girlfriend isn't good but you just cant get to terms on parting ways.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] pickupman66:
This. I came from a Nexus 6p. Loved it but it was worn out. It was rooted and stock. This mate 10pro allowed me to block ads without root thanks to adguard and I can run wifi tether without root.

On my Nexus, I had to root for the tether. Glad I don't have to now.

I used to be a serial flasher. Constantly swapping roms on my old Galaxy product.

Even with the strife, I'll take this device over any of the Samsung from AT&T.

Any chance you can provide a link on how to patch with magisk? The posts I found said only works with emui 8 so I haven't tried it yet. I'm probably looking in the wrong spot. Appreciate the help!
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Holyshirt.....

Here is the link, https://xdaforums.com/mate-10/how-to/guide-magisk-root-mate-10-pro-t3886967

The steps I've used are:

1) Download the update file to your phone. ***Make sure you make a copy to the internal storage (sdcard) BEFORE you install it. After you install it, you will lose root access, and you won't be able to get to it in the /data/update directory. So, it is important to have access to it AFTER the update has flashed.

2) Let the update install successfully, hopefully.

3) Locate that copied file on your phone, and copy it to your pc. In that pc, you have adb installed and Huawei extractor.

4) From the big update_full_base.zip file, extract the file update.app (it's big).

5) Using Huawei extractor app, open that update.app file, and locate the file recovery_ramdis.img

6) Extract it, and copy it to your phone.

7) On the phone, run Magisk.

Select INSTALL, and choose "Select and patch a file"

Locate the recovery_ramdis.img file that you copied in step 6.

It will get patched and copied to your download folder.

I'll take that as a compliment, being active on our device's forums.

In other news, anybody who can, at their own pace, no rush, really, break down the update and share it? I'm without a root injecting device at the moment, and taking the update any way other than one-by-one image flashing will leave me in that state which shall not be named, Holy be the Lord of Androids, his mercy be upon us, oh stained, undeserving Huawei souls.

I believe i would only need system.img, recovery_ramdisk.img userdata.img, and kernel.img just in case, and because i may have decrypt-retaining issues and just this one time vendor, cust, and product. If it's too much I'll settle for the first 4.

I would really appreciate it. Thanks
