If you don't have the stock firmware and try to flash twrp it will hang on the splashcreen. You need to format data if you want to get twrp after installing a rom/gsi
[Huawei P Smart Guides, News, & Discussion] mikimouse666:
What you mean with stock firmware ? like apps or lineage? i need a noob guide cut out in lines, sorry again

---------- Post added at 08:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------

the way i installed lineage 15.1 was by following this guide :

https://openkirin.net/user_guide/openkirin-rom-installation-instructions/

EDIT: got it to work by using Huawei p20 pro TWRP. flashed with fastboot and booted into twrp without problems. wuhuu no need to format or anything

EDIT: well, the new twrp couldnt read my storage so its just gg. cant figure it out im lost

I Installed TWRP and Magisk on my P Smart (Japanese version FIG-LA1).

Both Seems to work properly. But I can't boot to TWRP in devices boot menu (Volume Up Key).

Pressing Volume Up Key in the boot menu leads me to EMUI Recovery.

I remember that I got to TWRP when I selected 'Wipe/Factory Reset' in EMUI Recovery.

(But I'm afraid to do that again, Neither My memory is uncertain)

'Reboot to recovery' in migisk is working.

Is this a intended behavior of TWRP? If not how can I fix this?

Ok so TWRP does not work if you have a custom rom/gsi. How to format data after installing twrp? Btw, lineage os 15.1 from OpenKirin does not work. It says device not manufactured by google. I'm trying rros rn
[Huawei P Smart Guides, News, & Discussion] KevMetal:
you are wrong ....

OP _openkirin team doesn't want people to use twrp and bans talking about it but i had both RR & lineage installed while using twrp

I'm not sure what you are asking or trying to do

_the recovery of pretoriano is great for wiping and backups while the chinese one floating around is great for installing GSI .img files ...

I keep both on my sd ...to jump to stock i use hurupdater & latest stock update from firmware finder

**i can jump to roms / restore / backup / wipe to my will ....the sad part is Treble GSI's have camera problems and other bugs only a dedicated p smart developer can fix and sadly we only only have general huawei support ..no dev with p smart working on only p smart ...sad really ..very sad ..so only stable solution to enjoy good camera is stock rom with magisk
[Huawei P Smart Guides, News, & Discussion] dariusapostol:
The thing is: after I installed OmniRom GSI from openkirin TWRP recovery stucks on splash screen. The only method i found working is with stock recovery and Magisk
[Huawei P Smart Guides, News, & Discussion] KevMetal:
in my case twrp was working 100% on OmniRom ...i think you were using on of the first ( old twrp .img )..

eitherway it's easy ..flash OmniRom .. don't reboot ...reflash twrp...REBOOT twrp ...swipe to allow modifications .....reboot to OmniRom

shoud work 10000%
[Huawei P Smart Guides, News, & Discussion] dariusapostol:
Guess what... I did that! And when i came back to twrp it did the same thing. Someone said this twrp only works with stock EMUI 8. I don't what to believe. I will try it again later. I don't want to mess up my phone again
[Huawei P Smart Guides, News, & Discussion] KevMetal:
bro it's because you are too stubborn to listen to me ...i explained pretoriano80 works only on stock and you need the Chinese version too install ..just read my posts where i explained it to other guys ..and it was me who said pretoriano80 isn't good for treble GSI's

Hello everybody,

I am new to rooting and this forum.

I wish to root a Huawei P smart EMUI 9.1, Android 9.

Are there some easy to follow instructions?

Or can someone advice on how to get started?

Thank you.

You cant do it easily ..at least not what i consider easy ...the place to start is to find a way to downgrade to Oreo ..oldest Oreo ...then pay a service to get your bootloader unlock code .

5) After the download is complete FlashTool click "close" and then close XperiFIRM

6) Flashtool now says "Please wait until the end of the process"

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] okizen:
hmm.....I didn't;t know you could delete the bootloader.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
If your phone still goes to eRecovery, then you couldn't have deleted your bootloader. (Fastboot is the stage 2 boot loader, which loads the various other partitions for startup, boot or kernel + ramdisk for normal, recovery or kernel + recovery_ramdisk for recovery, and erecovery or erecovery_kernel + erecovery_ramdisk for eRecovery.)

In any case:

Power off

Hold volume down while plugging into computer.

That should start up fastboot.

4click install and choose the boot.img it will install magisk into it

5.put it back in your firmware folder on your pc

6 look for a file that says Checksum_gen and run it

7 once that completes use spflash tool and load your scatterfile and flash JUST THE BOOT.IMG wait for the reboot and you have root!

THANK YOU DEVELOPERS OF MAGISKMANAGER!

sorry if im in the wrong place but some mtk phones have a problem with unlocking the bootloader because of the volume+ drivers not being in

Simple question I want all opinions, I just got my 2nd 8525, and this time I am gonna do it RIGHT!! (last 1 i had I was super n00b and kiled it within 48hrs I cried for a week) Anyways I just want the simplest answer or opinion I want my 8525 to last forever. SO I will flash it to the BEST WM6 ROM once and never again will I change it.

SO I am looking for just the BEST GENERAL OVERALL WM6 ROM, I am just gonna be using it as phone and only use the WiFI to connect to the NET, so the ROM I am looking for needs to be STABLE and needs to NOT ruin me or my 8525, I have been reading everyones SIGs to see what ROMs ya'll use, but I just WANT the Opinions of the regulars here

WHAT Windows Mobile 6 ROM should I upgrade to?? I will take ALL suggestions PLEASE help me, I dont wanna kill my 8525 again, I just want to flash it and leave it at that!!

THANK YOU EVERYONE:)

P.S I'm not a complete n00b if u read the whole thread you'll see I do my homework
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] XtreMe_G:
the number one advise which everyone has been giving which has been pounded into everyone's mind, which you somehow manage to avoid listening to, is to first install hardspl. Hardspl is a must if you want to upgrade your rom.

as for the best rom recommendation, i will tell you this, there is no such thing as a best rom, everyone will have their own preferences, what works for one may not work for another person. just see any thread on ppl asking for best roms and you will see many many different replies.

just by the fact that you are making this post i will assume you want the easy way out, you rather have ppl do the recommendations for you than read and learn on your own, so i will give you the easy way out solution. Install the official at&t wm6 rom, and just soft reset before the customization starts and there you go, all done. its either that or return you phone and get a firefly. or a symbian phone. but i highly recommend the firefly.

Once you've got HardSPL on, it's up to you really. Some are good and some are...flaky, to be polite.

I would start with the official one from your carrier and use that for a day or two so you have a good, hopefully stable, benchmark to measure the competition up against.

Bang all your apps on it and see how it runs then try the same thing on the cooked ones.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
I wasn't particularly mentioning you, just noobs in general. Not offence intended

As for a particular ROM. As you mentioned

its hard to pick a ROM for you. Generally you can't go wrong with Farias/Dr Puttinghams/schaps to name a few. As for applications, be careful not to overload your phone with .cab's as this will slow it down.

There are a number of ROM's out there which are stripped of applications and built more for speed (though right now I'm having a complete blond moment and can't remeber one of them....doh!!!), and from there you can add to your own personal preferences.

I'm a bit of a ROM freak, as I never keep the same ROM for any real length of time. Think I've used pretty much everything with little tweaks here and there.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chunkymonkey:
Opinions, eh? I'm opinionated AND drunk...

Here's mine: go with 6.0 instead of 6.1.

People experienced in dealing with little niggles and issues by altering registry entries or installing lots of small cabs get on fine with 6.1, depending on which ROM of course. If you're new to upgrading then the issues that have yet to ironed out of 6.1 in such as a way as to make it a simple 1-click-to-install-and-you're-done job will probably annoy you too much. Smiffy's advice was really good mate: start with a ROM you can rely on, which basically means your own carrier's. If they haven't produced a WM6 yet (mine, OrangeUK, haven't and probably won't as they do lag rather badly in that area) then go for the most basic, cut-down and reportedly stable 6.0.

After you've got used to using your carrier's mobile you'll notice when the phone's faster or not when using different things on a new ROM. Only move up to 6.1 when you're well-used to how your phone fares with 6.0. (I'm assuming you won't install any benchmarking software. Not calling you lazy as I don't either - I just judge the 'feel' of it.)

I heartily recommend using mattk_r's Pandora Naked 6.0 - it's stable as any ROM I've ever used, including official ROMs. Give me a minute, I'l fetch the link.

Here you go.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1731669

I use a ROM based on the kitchen with a lot of my own kit thrown in. But I didn't start out like that; I started out like you, needing a few pointers, doing a lot of reading and occasionally annoying the hell out of myself.

By the way, if you're not using an SDHC card (which I assume you're not from the sounds of things) do me a favour and stick a copy of the original carrier's ROM on your SD card after renaming it HERIMG.nbh. Should you do a ChunkyMonkey Special and temporarily brick your phone (I used to do it all the time mate) it's an easy out in many cases, even if you can't boot past your bootloader.

(But take the SD card out when you flash your ROM. Although that's good practice anyway, so just do it.. :) )
