official TWRP doesnt allow /data to be formatted as f2fs (which is default)

can this be fixed?

as unofficial allows this.

Be carefull might be that some of us are doing a mistake by mixing the TWRP for P20 instead of the one of P20 pro.

I had also an issue (like encrypted folders), it has been solved by reinstalling TWRP from this site : https://www.the***********.com/install-twrp-recovery-root-huawei-p20-pro/

Then I was able to see my ZIP !
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sarichter:
Does anyone know how to remove TWRP from this device? I fear it may be messing with Google Pay

Update: Found my solution. I intentionally boot looped the phone and got it into emergency recovery and downloaded the latest firmware. Rooted with Magisk so I'm back up and running with Google Pay working. I had accidentally installed SuperSU when installing all of my apps. I believe that was what was triggering SafetyNet.

[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] uliyewakimbia:
Hey guys. Long story short : p20 Pro, clt-l09

Got a slight problem. Let's say the display setting kinda gets '' erased '' after reboot. Meaning, i turn off automatic brightness, and if i reboot the phone, the auto brightness is turned on again. Also, after I updated magisk, the magisk app would simply close, same with xposed framework, after I install some modules (tried a module for YouTube, then, even YouTube would close)
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sarichter:
To fix the Magisk issue. I have not found a solution to upgrade Magisk Manager to avoid the issue you describe. Please download and install Magisk Manager 5.6.4 and do not upgrade it. The .IMG file flash will show up as Magisk 16.3 (not sure if that is accurate) and it will give you root. It's just not apparent unless you run a program that needs root access. You can test with a Root Checker or an application such as Root Explorer (it simply requests root access immediately).

Others have then installed unofficial TWRP, flashed Magisk 16.4, and then Magisk Manager 5.7. I haven't though.
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] uliyewakimbia:
Oddly enough, I got root acces (lucky patcher, busybox, xposed framework). Then I've tried a few root checkers, they all say that is partially rooted.. And now I'm even more confused. Ty for the response though.. Guess I'll wait for some future development

Edit : forgot to mention, flashed magisk two times

Once I've updated it, the second time i haven't updated it.. Stil the same thing tho

Edit 2 : using a module trough magisk or xposed makes the respective apps to close (no error or anything, it just closes like your minimising it)

Edit 3

Solved

Apparently,the only way it worked was to Force my phone to bootloop, did a hard reset (via Huawei restore, the whole 3553MB or something like that firmware)

Re flashed twrp (the un official one), Re flashed magisk 16+manager. And surprisingly it worked. Hope this helps some people out there who may have the same problem

Cheers
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sarichter:
Funny enough, I described this scenario in a different thread. Forcing bootloop and doing a complete restore, then a complete wipe will pretty much reverse any software damage that was done. I didn't bother installing TWRP. The IMG file that is out there for Magisk 16 works just fine. I just can't install any modules at the moment.

[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] uliyewakimbia:
I didn't knew that.. But what's different tho.. Since you can't use modules and i can?
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sarichter:
I believe the issue is I flashed a boot image with Magisk embedded in it that a previous contributor provided. It can be found on another thread in these forums. Because of this, I believe there is a conflict between versions of this Magisk and other Magisk Manger applications. I don't really want to install TWRP again since it caused an issue with Google Pay. For those that don't need secure NFC support, it shouldn't be a problem.

This phone... and even EMUI... is running very smoothly, so I may never bother with TWRP. I might change my mind if a developer does provide a ROM that supports the monster camera on this phone and doesn't break any other functionality.

Hello. I have the official TWRP installed from https://twrp.me/huawei/huaweip20pro.html

When I try to backup my data, I get the following error:

"Can not create '/data/media/0/TWRP' folder (Permission denied)."

Is this because of the encryption? What can I do about it?

[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dgoncalves81:
Can someone explain the benefit of this offical method for installing TWRP over the unofficial method?

I understand the unofficial supports encryption?

With encryption being unsupported, is that simply in terms of reading to make backups, but able to leave encryption on? Or is/does encryption have to be disabled entirely for the offical TWRP to work?

Had the same issue (except battery drain) . Just boot into TWRP, plug in your USB and push the files too root folder (which hasn´t encrypted filenames) , e.g. "adb push file.extension /cust" . This pushes the files into the /cust (dunno - is it customer or customization? never mind ) . Then select "Install" in TWRP , browse to /cust (or whereever you pushed the files) and install.

[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Armand Bernard:
Hello all,

Since the unofficial recovery post is closed for some reason, I figured I'd ask here.

I was trying to restore a backup with TWRP unofficial that I made with it but on reboot I got stuck on either e-recovery or TWRP. That would be fine but TWRP doesn't load at all. It gets stuck on the loading screen. Left it there for several hours, TWRP official does not hang like this but can't be used for a restore.

I have very important data so I can't afford to just e-recovery factory reset.

The juicy details are at my question post, linked below.

https://xdaforums.com/huawei-p20-pro/help/stuck-twrp-attempted-restore-t3807254

I'm asking here too because I'm not sure anyone will see it otherwise.
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Armand Bernard:
The more I look around, the more it looks like the only way I can save my data is for someone to make a working TWRP. One which can circumvent the endless loading screen. Alternatively, using TWRP from fastboot using my PC, where this issue may not occur. When I try to do this with either recovery and "fastboot boot twrp.img", however, I just get a "remote: command not allowed" error.

Any ideas? I'll keep looking obviously but I'd really appreciate some support.

How can i unlock the bootloader without the huawei website ?

Its an app called dc unlocker, i can't post any link because i'm new but you can find it easily on google. I already tried to contact the huawei support to get a code but they refused. So this method is maybe my last chance
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] reppi:
Sounds like a broken system partition caused by unofficial twrp. Had this twice already.

There are two solutions.

One is to boot to erecovery and download and install latest ROM. Your data will not be wiped, at least on my case. Plug to a PC and boot to recovery like twrp. Then it should enter erecovery.

The other one is to flash a treble GSI via fastboot. It will install a new system image and afterwards you should be able to boot to twrp again.
