Of course, not my snail mail.

Friday it is.

I am not sure what specific email you refer to Culs since I have quite a few of them. As you know, XDA sends you TWO messages every time that we're quoted. And I don't have an email from you, btw, in case it was sent. Anyway.

THIS MORNING, I extracted the recovery img from the zip files that I dowloaded and actually flashed to my phone, and I patched them with the latest Magisk. I flashed the patched image to the phone, disconnected the cable, turned the phone off, rebooted into recovery (vol + and power), and the download mode screen showed an error. It eventually rebooted to the phone working, but Magisk doesnt appear installed.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
I'm sorry, i kinda just started it going but it stalled at some point and it never left. I'll get to it later, however it will not work just for the instance currently being faced by. You'll see why.

Anyhow. Recheck your steps because, same phone, same files, different results? I can make a video starting from unrooted scratch but it won't be tonight.

What files you talking about? Why didn't you just use the ones i sent you?

A little extra: i had already typed up a very comprehensive guide right here right now when, wondering if you somehow accidentally changed slots, so we could go get the answer to your problem, when it hit me!

Wait a minute, the mate is A only, not A-B!!!

:facepalm:
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Good morning

Since the img file you sent me didn't work, I decided to use the recovery from the same update.app from the exact same update.zip that I actually flashed to my phone. That way, I would know that I truly had an authentic file, and I also wanted to rule out possible things that could be wrong.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
So to keep it short you didn't think i had sent you an authentic file? ?

Well that sums it up and makes it easier.

Ten four!
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Reread my comments Culs.

I used yours and got an error. So, I rerereread the magisk thread, and it has a section for patching your own file, and so I followed that route.

I didn't distrust your file.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] xphyle1971:
From this point forward only post in this thread if you've received the BLA A09 Pie OTA. Enough with the spamming of this thread by users who can't figure out how to flash or use magisk or whatever.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
1. How is saying "i got the update" helpful? Other than to that person? To try to understand Huaweis mystical update algorithm?? Nope.

2. The title of the thread is our variant of this phone, and not the ota Pie update, which has its own thread. Meaning that anything related to this device can go here. So, how am I spamming? Why don't the ota update posts go in the other, correctly-titled thread?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] revjamescarver:
Updates

Lol, I don't think anyone can make much sense out of the Huawei update schedule, needless to say but I do hope this thread continues to bring the peculiarities of our variant to light, wether on Oreo or Pie.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Go away!
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] penfold:
I got the android 9 update 4 days ago, works great. Only minor issue is the cropped text on the recents screen but I don't care about that.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Will someone please back up the scan app from emui 8 and uploaded it? The only one that's at apkmirror is already more updated and it includes the shopping part which is what I'm trying to avoid, as it defaults to opening in it and when i tried it a while back it was NEVER accurate!

What do you mean?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] pickupman66:
I'm not rooted so lets see if these work. One is a zip other is just apk

Hey Culs... How would I have changed slots? In the statement above you make it sound like you discovered or realized something, yet you rooted your phone fine using the file that you sent me.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Mate uses A partitioning, while my other phone, the 6t, uses A-B partitioning; i mixed them up for a minute.

Look, imma record a video and upload it to drive: it'll be low quality since I'm not trying to upload half a gb, ok?

Edit: I uploaded it, I'll share it here in case anybody has doubts about how it's done! Now, of course what i show in the video won't work if you aren't previously rooted, but the only thing you have to do differently is flash it manually (in fastboot and to the recovery_ramdisk partition) versus using the flasher i used; basically my video is not gonna help

someone who isn't rooted, but it's actually just more like to dispel any doubts as to what's used and where it goes, as well as how (where?) to reboot... I don't know if I'm being clear enough... Let me know...

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tokoam:
Wow nabril your still at this ?still no root success.Your having a hell of a time with this.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Yes toko, I'm still at it. Despite following the proper steps, I get errors. After flashing the patched file and attempting to reboot to recovery, I get the error in the 1st screenshot. So, i power down, disconnect the cable, press vol up and power, and I get the error in the 2nd screenshot. The phone eventually reboots to a working system.

I tried it twice. Once with the patched file sent to me by culiacanazo, and the second using my own extracted and patched recovery.ramdis file.

[MENTION=7182553]culiacanazo[/MENTION] - I saw your video, and I see that you're doing the flashing and rebooting from within the Huawei tweaker app. I didnt know or think to do that. I cant try it because it shows that I don't have root access. Also, your version of Magisk Manager is slightly different from mine; you have 187, and mine is 185 (v7.0.0); I wonder if that makes a difference.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
I did it mainly to show you what goes where and that it works, the only change you obviously need to make is flash manually thru fastboot and just skip the tweaker.

The version number doesn't matter, as I've been rooted all along.

At this point, if i were you, I'd reflash the imgs that are required for a debrick (which i don't remember exactly what they are, but multi tool for Windows lays it out, MINUS the ramdisk and userdata ones - i believe they're system, recovery_ramdisk, and kernel; double check, tho) just to get a fresh start. Reboot completely into system, and then try the patched boot again.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tokoam:
If you flash the stock recovery partition and boot back into bootloader dose the error disappear ?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Are you saying to flash the unpatched or stock recovery_ramdis img file, and then to try to boot into recovery?? In other words, to follow the same steps, but with an unpatched file to see if I get an error when attempting to boot into recovery?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Just heed me, I've got the shirt and all
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
What??
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
"Trust me, been there, done that!"

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

Look, i pulled up my lap and connected just to guide you accurately. It's only the system and recovery that are needed, and I'm 1,000,000 % the kernel can only help at this point; the cust isn't needed (it's all coming back to me now!).

It sounds tedious but I'm sure you'll waste more time trying everything else. Go ahead. fastboot system, recovery, and kernel, reboot into system, doing wipes if required in order to boot*; toggle oem and adb, do not setup Google accounts or put screen locks just yet. Reboot into fastboot, flash patched img, and that's it: if you follow this to the dot, i can guarantee you'll get rooted.

*sometimes emui's different recoveries (the lowlevel one, the update one, the wifi one, and the regular, wipe cache type one) will say you have to wipe, and 8 times out of ten if you simply reboot via their buttons, you'll be fine the second time around.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
thank you again Jorge...Let's talk offline (pm or email) so I can understand what you stated above.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Ok but let it be stated i do it here just in case a shyster's behind the scenes, stuck, but just reading...
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tokoam:
What I'm saying is did you flash the stock recovery ramdisk to verify the errors are not there even with the stock file.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
If it's anything like what happened with me it won't make a difference, that's why I told him to reflash those three images, to get a fresh start!
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tokoam:
Yeah I agree if all else fails reflash stock emui 9 firmware I have never encountered your error.

Quite happy I got my pi ota today. How is everyone liking the gesture navigate? How long before it was fluid? Even typing with the keyboard lower is off. (Years on Android since eclair)

Also, anyone else with a LG TV not able to get the wireless projection working? I have a 3 year old curved oled and it just won't work. At times tv telling me to enter a pin.

I do like how when selecting some things it zooms in. I like new Gmail.

All in all, tons to get used to. Wife got pi on her honor v10 too
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
I don't have problems with wireless projection but i don't have an lg TV.

Gestures suck in this compared to my 6T.

I stuck to the dock instead.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] xphyle1971:
What he's trying to say is that he's in Florida.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
I'm sorry to break up the "yeayyy, I got Pie" festival of the last few pages.

Toko---i flashed the unpatched recovery image, and I still got the error when issuing the "fastboot reboot recovery" command from the instructions. Pressing vol up and power did take me to the recovery screen with 3 options: reboot, wipe/reset, and wipe cache partition.

So. Flashing the patched img file doesn't boot back into recovery, but flashing the unpatched file apparently does.

What else can I try?

A question: I patched the ramdis file using the stable Magisk channel since we've all been told that using the Canary channel is no longer necessary to patch.. Is that a true statement? Culiacanazo sent me a patched file and I assume that he used the stable channel as well. Could that be the culprit?? That we still have to use tje Canary channel on Magisk manager?

[MENTION=7182553]culiacanazo[/MENTION] provided a teaser of steps to follow, but that will require further breakdown of the steps to take between he and I.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Check this out!
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Wait, wait, wait, wait, (and in Spanish)...un segundo.

I want to jump and rejoice, but the circled text is a bit contradictory.

He said that "it would not work....rebooted with it still connected to my pc. I flashed the patched file and then disconnected after rebooting it works".

I wasn't an English major, but aren't those 2 sentences the exact same thing = the cable was connected during the reboot when it didn't work and when it works??? Or am I so eager to get this to work, that I am celebrating early in my head??
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
So, i flashed the patched boot img, left the cable attached and shutdown. Upon pressing vol up and power for a bit, I didn't get the error message screen, and I was taken to the erecovery, 3 options screen. I chose reboot system, and it rebooted, but I still don't have root. Should I have done something different at that 3 option screen (whatever it's really called)?

EDIT.. I have root. Ya, done. Root there it is, root there it is, shakalakah, shakalakah. I removed the cable, powered off, help vol up and power, and it rebooted. Magisk shows installed. REBOOTING = LOOSING MAGISK = REPEATING THE PROCEDURE
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Hahaha it was a little mistake of the sort we all make at one point or another, but upon deep pondering in communion with your inner peace and blah blah blah for what surely is less than 5 seconds you can make something of it!

So now, speaking of which, are you or are you not rooted? I'll throw a party in your honor if you are!

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tokoam:
Finally omg took ya long enough lol

Looks like they are pushing in higher numbers now. Just got Pie as well.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] pickupman66:
now that i have forced myself to use the gestures, I really like them. for the most part they work good except for the back function. when you have an app like messages, email or outlook where you have swipe left or right functions, there are times where it will swipe the message as opposed to back. that is the most annoying part. I swapped back to the nav bar and found my self trying to swipe still. I have not explored the single key as of yet. I do like the extra 5% of screen space gestures affords.

as for the rest of pie, it is very responsive and thus far, I am getting 6 hours or more of screen use daily. I should probably put my device in my bag and maybe my workday productivity will increase.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Has anybody experienced difficulty to connect, wether data or wifi? Preferably someone who travels. I know it isn't the device, because it worked wonders in Oreo, i know it isn't TMO, since i mean why would they degrade all of a sudden... It could be the pie software, but i really doubt it, i am onto a different lead, i just wanna rule it out
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] pickupman66:
I travel and it seemed to do great for me. I do have issues when it rains with data slowing but that At&t in my area I reckon. I don't get on other wifi though.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Thank you sir... I was getting ready to swap the software out but it's been really good this trip... So must've been the network engineer that lives in me... NOT! Should leave network config well enough alone. I know as much as firewalls, Bridges, dns, and whatnot as much as Trump knows about running a business without loopholing to chapters 7 and 11 ?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] pickupman66:
Sure!

One more gestures note, making them more pronounced seems to help. For the back especially. A small flick will error at times but a swipe to at least the center of the screen seems to work almost always.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
So we all, or most, have Pie. Yeay. Our stomachs are full. We are gesturing all over the galaxy.

Now what? What's next for our stubborn phone? Some security updates, here and there.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Ssshhh! Stick to talking about updates.

...What's that! It's done with?

Well then close this thread!
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
[MENTION=7182553]culiacanazo[/MENTION] or any of the other rooted knowers; a question.

Why do we lose root when we reboot? (it rhymes). Is it because the recovery image gets overwritten upon a reboot? This didn't happen with Oreo, and I imagine that nothing got overwritten in that OS.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
You know, just recently i read something about exactly that, and i thought to bookmark it to share it with you (since you had that issue to root), then i got busy and eventually forgot... Lol
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tokoam:
It's strange cause I don't loose root when I reboot.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
You don't? And you are on Pie, right? I believe so.

How? Did you type any additional command after flashing the patched boot.img that makes it behave they way it does on your phone?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tokoam:
Yep I'm on pie nothing additional just patched using ADB mininal .
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
I love your brief replies...

What is adb minimal??

I assume that you patched youe own file or used one from somewhere and flashed it via adb?? Come on toke, help us out please. Don't be afraid to type long sentences.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tokoam:
I patched my own file I didn't do anything different.It just works I'm also using the official Magisk source no beta's.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Interesting and weird. Ok. I followed the same steps, I'm using the official Magisk manager, but I lose root upon reboot. Hmm.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] tokoam:
Yeah I dunno lol maybe I have a lucky mate 10 pro.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Nab, here, just reflash, "EMUI'ng 2 POINT O" can't mess it up! It's like a factory reset without losing your data. You get your own firmware files. Start from scratch, i advise you for the gazillionth time! It can only take but 5 minutes, downloading and set up aside. Disregard the rest of the post, simply download the apk and thank him, and get going.

https://xdaforums.com/mate-20-pro/how-to/guide-manual-updating-firmware-t3893171

Neither do I! In fact today i tried to lose root on purpose for a lil "what does this button do?!" experiment of mine and i couldn't (yeah i could but i had to actually try harder)...

Funny, I sense i get the exact opposite reaction from you.

Nab's is haunted by the vengeful spirit of the CFO who has broken free to exact revenge upon us BLA-A09 souls... luckily we got away
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] culiacanazo:
Ok, so a little actual business, for the sake and sense of self-worth of those who find it upon themselves a source of joy to much rather spend their precious, limited hours in this planet, to complain about the turns of this particular thread (rather than, say, for example, watch a flix, flirt with someone, or take upon new knowledge or skills); thread which, i must further clarify, notwithstanding the long-established, well-documented as well as highly respected and, let's not sugar-coat it badly needed forum rules, that inasmuch as all of the previously stated, and due to specific circumstances that may not be immediately apparent and/or reason enough to those who don't have the 'fortune' of owning THIS variant, seem to be waived hereto expressly and implicit agreed upon by the continuing growth of said object of discussion.

In other words (this is for the "Imma tell my momma!" crowd), if it's not broken, don't fix it!

And after a brief preamble always follows the main course: is anybody else bothered by the autodim bug after the screen having been off? Or is that a weird bug i have concocted out of all the residue of mixtures on my Top Secret Evil Chinese Device Of World Dominance?

Also, any "tips" for avoiding the gestures pick up when I'm swiping, short of replacing the launcher or foregoing gestures?

I really wouldn't wanna do that, since... Well, instead of attempting to transport you, VR and all, as to why that's not an option, try using equally as much a phone with and a phone without gestures, you'll see very quickly! (which is what i do, interchanging my 6T and Mate 10 Pro all day, everyday... Don't ask! ?)

[MENTION=4944167]nabril15[/MENTION], this is a Post Scriptum just for you: so, back to the "what is adb minimal" stuff, i can, in lieu of where it all stands, very well forget about "making this journey of yours a little more bearable" and actually sorta fun by telling you about 'commanding' from Android to Android, right? , That was, literally, next in my to-do list for the brotherhood here who might care/not have thought of that.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] derausgewanderte:
Always fun reading your posts! Somewhere here is a message and I have to pay attention:cool:

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nabril15:
Umm, Decaf for culiacanazo, por favor.

I'm sorry, what? I hope that you used a keyboard to type that essay.

I just realized that I've been using adb minimal for years and didn't realize that's what it's called.

As far as the other stuff, I got lost in your monologue. I clicked on the thread and it took me to a mate 20 thread. Sure. I follow. Yeah. I'll look at it again with some free time and rum and cokes.

An honor and a pleasure, thank you humbly...

Even tho i couldn't obtain the product that results from adding 2 and 2 together, sounds nice enough so I'll just agree ;)

Like i said, ignore the thread, just grab the apk, thank the dude, and come back. Don't even waste time reading because why do? It's bound to needlessly confuse you more.

Then i take it i haven't been found to be worthy of your attention to this, your lowly servant, my Lord. Just ask Nab! ?
