Ok so i've installed the TWRP app but it won't boot to and flash the recovery so i can't get it done, it's weird, kind of tired now too.

It's booted and rooted but i don't have twrp installed, it simply won't boot after i install it.

Boot to bootloader

Flash TWRP

Boot to TWRP straight away

Boot to system

Gives three options ie: hold up for erecovery

Boots to eRecovery and then loops

If i flash the Magisk.img it'll boot but recovery is then gone.

Am i right in thinking that both root and twrp are installed in recovery_ramdisk??

1. Copy all these files to the SDCARD section of your phones memory

update.zip

update_data_public.zip

update_all_hw.zip

oeminfo.bin

i can't find an sdcard section in my phones memory? no idea where to put the files, can anyone help?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Yea you do mate.

Every android phone does, the location where DCIM, DOWNLOADS is, is your sdcard.

Is obviously not an actual SD Card, the system just calls it that.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
The twrp app closes after I click download, tried a few versions, same problem, kind of like the issue with magisk when it closes.

As it stands if I reboot it won't boot, I have to hold volume up to get it to boot.

Twrp is not installed, the second I install it it'll allow me to boot to it but the system won't boot? Can't win lol..

For now I have root access and a newer firmware so not too bad but it's like to get twrp and normal booting working.

Any ideas?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xsanikax:
im trying to transfer the files from my pc to the phone, i can't see an sdcard folder in there this is what i have available linked. my phone isn't rooted, doesn't seem to be working when i run "fastboot flash ramdisk CLT-L29-MAGISK.img" it says it's all a success but when i check with root checker it's saying not rooted.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Ah you're looking at it pal.

That entire location is your SDcard

Copy the files to the directory you're looking at. Exactly there, if you obtain a root explorer you'll see when you go to the root of your phone you'll see sdcard like mine. It's the same as mine.

As for root, did you install the apk?? MagiskManager?

Please read through, the pre-requisites clearly say to be rooted.

There are a tonne of guides on here to root.

Once you have A to E done you can continue.

Skip something and I can't help you.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xsanikax:
okay mate sorted that now, thanks =] last question, after i install the magisk apk do need to open it up at all or just leave it alone? do i need to switch it over to beta releases or anything?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
I didn't, you'll need it to approve root.

Alright. I believe not all the latest firmwares are available through Firmware Finder. So I'm downloading a firmware of lower version for CLT-AL C00. I just want to be sure if I will be able to update to the latest version after this rebranding.

Btw, does your current branding / mobile operator support Dual VoLTE?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
[MENTION=1599044]ToLive4[/MENTION] would eRecovery still work after debranding?

Or would it brick it or revert back to the previous branding?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Grancapitan:
I installed Magisk first, according to your tutorial, and I think you should install twrp first, according to this link https://xdaforums.com/huawei-p20-pro/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1- 0-touch-recovery-t3779336 .

It worked for me, although I did not recognize the second SIM.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
That link shows a bunch of threads?

honestly yesterday i tried every combination of installations.

Magisk first, then TWRP

TWRP first, then Magisk

Unofficial TWRP then Magisk and vice versa

Even the nocheckp20.img

No combination seems to work, somethings very very wrong with my phone and what i've done to it. I'm really not sure what.

another thing is the screen shot i posted, it says can't find recovery when trying to flash via the TWRP app so i'm now under the impression that something else has gone very very wrong.

What should usually reside in recovery_ramdisk?

If i replace what should be there would i then be able to install TWRP / Magisk?

Added "TWRP Installed and functional to the guide"

Thanks

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Yea that's the official one, i did try that.

So for you, you installed TWRP then you installed what root method?

Did you install anything afterwards?

For me if TWRP is on the device and i can boot to it from the bootloader by holding vol up, it does boot to TWRP but then after i boot to system it shows the other boot menu,

1) press up for erecovery

2) press power to boot

3) if nothing pressed, device will boot.

after that it shows the Huawei logo in white (not the silver boot logo) then it'll bootloop back to the options.

I think there's something else wrong.

Do you know if i was to use erecovery would it try to revert back to L09 or would it just give me a fresh base?

I'm going to try it at some point as it's driving me mad, i also get Root requests over and over when i use a root access application.

Ok all sorted, my own stupidity.

Flashed TWRP c:\adb\fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk .\twrp_clt_0.1.img

Remove cable and boot to recovery

Boot back to bootloader (the next part was my mistake)

C:\abd\fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk CLT-L29-MAGISK.img

Should have been

C:\adb\fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk-CLT-L29-MAGISK.img

Total idiot, just not used to flashing ramdisk, my own fault.

Anyway, hope this helps anyone else who falls into the same crap i did.

Thanks all for your input.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kaiowas82:
i do have both erecovery and twrp working on my phone. I access the first from the warning disclaimer by pressing volume up, and twrp by keeping volume up pressed during shutdown /restart

i see you solved, next time just follow the guide, don't try to modify it LOL

Guys a quick question before I root. If I decide to go back to stock, will this clear any warning messages which come up when the phone starts up. The reason I ask is on Samsung once you have bootloader unlocked, the warning stay even if you go back to stock?

I have a rooted Lineage OS 14 device. I want a keylogger on the device but without changing the keyboard app (Gboard). On Ubuntu you can use showkey to track key presses but on android I can't find any alternatives. I think using some kind of script might work.
[Amazfit] TF666:
Hello guys,

I've got a Chinese version of Stratos A1609, currently on 2.0.1.0. I wanted to migrate to STRATOSfied rel 7. I unlocked the bootloader and tried to boot root-friendly image but it failed each time stating 'too many links'. I waited but it did not restart itself, it just sat there in fastboot mode.

fastboot boot STRATOSfied-boot-adb-root.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.394s]
booting...
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))

So I thought I would need to upgrade the original firmware (as per this advice https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75885199&postcount=109) first to solve that 'too many links' error.

However, I cannot upgrade my FW using the Amazfit app - I get only a toast stating I'm on the newest FW. I tried older Chinese version of the android app to try and upgrade to no avail.

Would anyone happen to know:

- how to go past 'too many links' error message in order to get root and continue with STRATOSfied ROM installation

or

- where to get original chinese 2.0.17.1 firmware file so that I can manually upgrade to that one first and try STRATOSfied afterwards.

THANKS!
[Amazfit] Saratoga79:
This is the correct output when installing the temporal root. After that you have to check root typing

adb root

adb shell

And you have to get # symbol which means you already hace root access.

Your FW version is very old and could cause problems. I suggest you to update manually to a newer CN one, in this forum there is a thread here: https://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/amazfit/stratos-flash-chinese-rom-2-0-7-5-t3749698

Or you can use mine from Spanish forum here: https://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=1398764

Thank you very much, [MENTION=5062938]Saratoga79[/MENTION]. Great script, simple instructions. You really helped a lot.

The firmware works and so does OTA, so great work there! I just incrementally updated to Chinese ROM 2.0.17.1 and then to STRATOSfied without any problems.

Thank you again!

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] LukeHro:
Hi,

I have an TX3 mini and, as known, they have bad wifi and I'm using a cable via a powerline adapter.

Recently I installed "Telekom TV" (new and can't post link, an online tv app by a tv/internet provider in Romania) actually by exporting the apk from a phone cause for some reason it didn't allow me from play store on this device.

When I start the app (with cable connected) it says that I have no internet while internet on everything else (ie. chrome) works properly. If I remove the cable it starts on wifi then I can reconnect the cable (which turns wifi off) and the app continues to run well on cable connection.

Is there any other workaround or something known for such issue so I don't have to unplug it everytime I want to use the app? I assume such issue may have been noticed for other apps not necessarily the one I want to use.

Thanks
