magnumlove; where did u find the ram-disk for 10,8" Wifi EU-model? I've searched the recommended site from thread maker, but only finds the Pro model?

I have CMR-W09 8.0.0.161(C432) installed on my Mediapad.

Download 'Firmware Finder for Huawei' on your tablet from google play. Then download the update. zip from the FullOTA-MF - (approx 2. 7 gb). Then you can transfer to your pc to extract it etc.

Well, seems that I could use some help by some kind soul out there...

When writing command "fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img" it returns answer error: cannot load 'patched-boot-img'

I have put the image file in adb folder.

Has Anyone figured out how to flash the tablet back to Stock ROM? I have tried every forum guide and OTA version and get error after error. Does anyone have a fool proof way to set back to stock? I have bootloader unlocked currently with TWRP.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] droidvark:
Edit: Nevermind, I was able to download the files today and found the russian site for the OTA updates.

When I try to download the Huawei Update Extractor from the OP, the link opens to nofile.io but the download button redirects to an URL ending in /invalidSession (https://nofile.io/f/YM1Cdj5tMk5/invalidSession). I tried 3 different browsers on 2 devices but I keep getting this error, anyone else get this? Is there another link to download perhaps?

Also, the links on that website with the updates no longer work, are there any mirrors?

Thanks!
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Apo11on:
On your M5, go to Dialer app, and type in *#*#2846579#*#* to open Project Menu. If you have WiFi only version with no GSM radio - search the thread, people posted solution how to get to Project Menu. Find a Software Update setting in there, and chose to update from sdcard. You must download ALL THREE firmware files update.zip and the other two for the version you want to install and place them in "dload" folder in the root of your external sdcard. You can use Huawei Firmware Finder (either Android or PC version of it) to download. You can check in advance in HFF if the firmware you're about to download is approved for installation on your device.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] jeanxx:
Thanks for the info, I decided to stay with the RR rom for this phone as it turns out to be the smoothest, most customizable rom for this tablet. Everything works and works great.

[MENTION=1192060]Apo11on[/MENTION]: What is your thoughts about the 8.0.0.171 rom in EU devices? Does this rom mess with the LTE bands, because EU and Ch dont nessesery use the same LTE bands
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] mjc2251:
Just got this tablet and it's also my first Huawei device. What is the risk of installing a firmware that HFF says is not yet approved for installation on my device?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Apo11on:
There is no risk - you just won't be able to install it. HFF pulls updates directly from Huawei server, meaning they are in stock OTA update format, and cannot be flashed with a custom recovery. The stock recovery would not install it because it knows it's unapproved.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Apo11on:
There is only LineageOS rom available for M5 so far, and you could not install the stock one. So, what did you compare RR to, to determine it's "the smoothest, most customizable"?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] jeanxx:
Actually, any A only treble rom can technically be flashed on this tablet. There is an Omnirom, lineage rom, cdroid rom and others that can be used on this tablet. Also, I was actually able to flash the stock one back to this device as well which led me to determine that the fingerprint sensor on this device does not have the ability to use swipe gestures, only touch and tap. the RR rom however is the only one Ive found so far with center clock capability and I have not experienced any force closes.

---------- Post added at 04:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 AM ----------

Actually, I was able to flash the unapproved firmware with fastboot, experienced no issues, you just cant flash it through HFF, but with fastboot you can. I flashed 167 firmware to my device and no issues.But I went back to RR rom because its smooth, with lots of features.

---------- Post added at 04:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 AM ----------

Granted there is new firmware for this device, using a custom rom in most cases, yields a smoother experience and more customizability. PM me if yiu have any questions or need assistance.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Apo11on:
Once again - you cannot flash the entire OTA update with stock recovery, if unapproved. That includes fastboot. You might have been able to flash 3 or 4 partitions, but the entire OTA firmware consists of 35 images - the rest are not flashable, if unapproved. For them you will get "Command not allowed" reply in fastboot. After unlocking with DC-Unlocker code your bootloader is unlocked, but your FRP is locked.

fastboot oem getinfo

should show you that. I made a quick attempt just for you:

E:\Huawei MediaPad M5\8.0.0.171>fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes

sending sparse 'vendor' (460699 KB)...

OKAY [ 10.984s]

writing 'vendor'...

FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

finished. total time: 10.998s
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] jeanxx:
Oh, okay, I understand you now. Thx for the info. Well, because im on the RR rom, im not too worried about updating to the next firmware right now. Everything I want and need currently does exactly what I want and its smooth so it works. I just wish Huawei would have made the fingerprint sensor swipe capable, not just touch and tap. But owell I guess lol.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] gcogger:
???

I'm using the swipe gesture on the fingerprint sensor to open the recent applications list on my M5, so clearly the tablet is capable of it.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] jeanxx:
What rom are you doing it on? Because I tried it on all the roms Ive flashed, including stock and no dice. Did you have to register your fingerprint first?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] gcogger:
I'm just on the stock ROM, as it came from new. I registered my fingerprint straight away, so I don't know if it was necessary, I'm afraid. Maybe it's because I've turned off the home/back/app switcher soft keys, and I'm just using the fingerprint sensor instead?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] jeanxx:
Well I registered FP on the RR rom and turned off all soft nav buttons but no dice getting gestures to work with FP

Downloaded TWRP from here: https://www.mobileheadlines.net/how-to-install-twrp-and-root-huawei-mediapad-m5/ and installed. Then I went to the official Magisk thread, downloaded latest manager and .zip file. Installed both and now I am rooted. Failing safety.net test but at least I am rooted nice and easy.

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] AndDiSa:
Hmm ... why you need Magisk *and* SuperSU? Magisk it's sufficient to get root access and has the additional advantage that SafetyNet test does not fail.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] sky|ined:
I did not mention supersu. Which I did not download nor install
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] AndDiSa:
... but the link you provided suggests to install both Magisk and SuperSU. If you installed Magisk only why SafetyNet does not pass ... strange.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] sky|ined:
Sorry about the confusion. I only downloaded TWRP from that website and nothing else, it's a bit laggy by the way but does the job. I downloaded Magisk from its official thread here on Xda. Safety net check also fails on my P10.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] AndDiSa:
Thank you for clarifying. But I am still wondering why SafetyNet is failing .. I am running 8.0.0 C432B163 with Magisk patched ramdisk and SafetyNet is green.

I don't think this can be done with a non-pro version
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Didgeridoohan:
Just want to clarify that there's been no crackdown on Magisk's ability to hide from SafetyNet. The only thing that has changed recently is that Google have deprecated the old SafetyNet API and starting to enforce the new one. Since many SafetyNet checker apps (including Magisk Manager) were using the old API they can no longer check SafetyNet (Magisk Manager simply gets an "Invalid response"). This has absolutely no relevance for Magisk's ability to hide from SafetyNet, since MagiskHide doesn't use the SafetyNet API. It is only the Magisk Manager that uses SafetyNet to check if the device passes or not. It's pure cosmetics...

Personally I use this app to test SafetyNet (it's been updated with the new API) and pass on all my devices using Magisk (v16.7+):

Hello, I assume you've seen this already, on how Huawei is now pushing a patch designed specifically to break magisk. I just got a notification about version 8.0.0.168 C432 for my CMR-W09, has anyone tested it yet and checked if it is the infamous one?

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] jbbandos:
Ok, I'll risk the OTA. Did you guys revert the bootloader to the unpatched before applying the OTA?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Si73:
No, l left it as it was and when finished updating just re flashed the patched ramdisk image. It may be quicker to flash the original ramdisk image otherwise the small OTA update fails and then the tablet has to download the very large full OTA update.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] AndDiSa:
[MENTION=2605894]jbbandos[/MENTION] if you follow(ed) the discussion on the Magisk thread looks more as there is a different issue behind and that is is not a patch designed to break Magisk.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] jbbandos:
You mean this post this morning? It is the first one I see stating it might be a different issue.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] jbbandos:
I must apologize for my message and thank you guys, it seems that the 168 patch doesn't break anything on the CMR-W09. I've applied it and was able to patch the ramdisk.img and install magisk (stable) without any problem.

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] StephenMSmith:
I root all my devices but they've been from google or otherwise easy to root. Dumb question: how do I extract the boot image so I can patch it with magisk? And then if I understand, I can still take an ota with this patch boot image installed but it will download huge full flash, or I could rrflash original boot image and take the small Ota? Do I need TWRP in order to flash the magisk root or can I do everything without touching recovery?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] AndDiSa:
You need to extract ramdisk.img from the full it's package, copy it to your device and patch it by Magisk. Then patched_boot.img is created which you can flash by fastboot as new ramdisk.img

It's all quite easy if you have a bit of experience with flashing
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] C5Longhorn:
Just to confirm, you have to do this every time you take an update correct?

I'm rooted but still on version 156. I would like to confirm the process for updates.

Thanks,

Rick
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] AndDiSa:
Yes, as on an update everything is overwritten. If there was no change on the ramdisk partition most likely the 'old' patched image will work, too. But to be sure I would do the whole patching process every time again ... so you can also take the chance to update the Magisk version.

Hello,

I downloaded the latest firmware from the link in the first post. It is dated 2018.09.10 but there is no version number (8.0.0.x) provided. When I try to extract the ramdisk.img with the Huawei Update Extractor, I cannot find a ramdisk.img within the UPDATE.APP file. Does root still work with this firmware file? Which file within the UPDATE.APP do I have to use? boot.img? Which other firmware file should I download to make root and Magisk work?

I've read that a certain update by Huawei brakes Magisk. Which firmware version would you recommend. I just ordered the tablet today. Hopefully it doesn't already have the latest firmware installed.

Regards

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] mroshaw:
What do you mean? Does Magisk error when you try to patch the ramdisk image?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] AndDiSa:
Are you sure you downloaded the *full* package and not the updating one? It should be round about 3.5GB in size. Only from there you can extract the ramdisk.img which is needed for Magisk.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] StephenMSmith:
Since all we need is the ramdisk.img, I wish someone would just post it here after every update. Save us quite of few steps and downloads.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] general1977:
Hello AndDiSa,

yes, it is the whole package marked as "FullOTA-MF" and is 3.7GB in size when unzipped. The version is shown as "BLN-L21C185B387", dated 10.09.2018.

I additionally downloaded the file marked as "BLN-L22C675B365CUSTC675D001" dated 30.5.2018. Here the Huawei Update Extractor finds the "ramdisk.img".

I guess the whole partition layout on the tab has been changed.
