[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naiku:
I recently sold a tablet on eBay that was working when I shipped it, I have pictures of it working both before and after I factory reset it. When the buyer received it, he emailed me saying it will not turn on, but I am 100% sure it was working when I shipped it out. The buyer has initiated a return, which pretty much means I have to refund the money as there is nothing I can really do to prove it was working when sent. I have pictures of it working, with the date stamp on the EXIF data, but I am almost certain PayPal / eBay will side with the buyer anyway so I would rather at least get the tablet back in my hands.

The tablet was not in the best shape, but the sold price reflected that and I was entirely honest in the description. Reading back through the messages from the buyer there are some red flags popping up that have me wondering if he tried to flash something to it and bricked it. In my auction description and in messages between us I had indicated it was rooted and running TWRP as well as a custom ROM. He had replied saying that he may end up flashing to the original ROM (this after also asking me if it was SIM unlocked, even though it clearly stated it is a wifi only tablet).

Is there any way to find out if he tried to flash something like a P605 ROM onto the P600 I sold him and bricked it? Assuming he did do something like that and I can connect to it somehow either via ADB or ODIN, will it be fairly straightforward to flash the correct ROM back onto it? I should have the tablet back tomorrow and will want to check it fairly quickly to see if the guy screwed it up himself or not.

The only thing that does not have me almost 100% certain of it is that he only had it a few hours before contacting me to say it was not working. However, I absolutely know I sent a working tablet and in all honesty, am going to be pretty annoyed if I get back a non-working tablet.

Thanks.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] arebelspy:
I have a USA variant, just got the Oreo / EMUI 8.0 update. Everything is stock.

I got my bootloader unlock code from Honor support (via the Google forms the USA Support tweeted out).

All guides for unlocking the bootloader and rooting are for Nugat (7.0).

I am wondering a few things.

1) Has anyone unlocked/rooted Oreo? What steps did you take? What TWRP version are you using (a link is preferable, if you have one)? Did you use the multi-tool, or directly with adb?

2) What root solution did you use? I prefer SU over magisk (for the ability to use xposed), but I heard SU isn't working, only magisk? What version did you use?

3) What backup system do you use when your phone will wipe everything for unlocking the bootloader? Is the Huawei stock "Backup" app that it comes with any good? Any better ones to use?

Basically there's no walkthrough for rooting with the current setup. It'd be awesome if someone wrote one that was basically:

- Backup using W method (backup app, or alternative).

- Unlock bootloader using X method (adb/multi-tool/whatever).

- Root using Y method (TWRP version, SU or magisk, and version numbers)

- Do Z activity (anything else to flash after? xposed? etc.?)

Any thoughts appreciated. :)

That didn't even cover a fraction of the questions I posted. It *maybe* gave the relevant TWRP build, though even that is in question, as one of the most recent posts was "I couldn't get any of the TWRP versions listed in this thread to work fully. " and suggesting something else.

I'm curious if anyone has actually rooted stock 8.0 and what process they used.

Flashing kernel.img and system.img from the Oreo update.zip should completely fix a bootloop/brick. I had messed around and bootlooped one of mine, and had to extract those .img files to flash them through fastboot to restore my phone. It will erase the system though so a backup of data through Titanium Backup should be safe.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] allrockedout:
Where can I get system.img and kernel.img can you share it. I'm barely able to reboot keeps rebooting and booting into safe mode. Takes me like 10 minutes to boot to system. can barely get into twrp

[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] allrockedout:
No I waited for Oreo before I rooted. I just rebooted again and booted back to system fine. I made a bunch of backups in twrp. But there useless if you don't have booted.img system and data.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
there is no "boot.img" on oreo.

the traditional boot.img has been split into 2 partitions. kernel.img and ramdisk.img.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] allrockedout:
So we need kernel.img ramdisk.img which is boot. Than we need system and data. How do you flash the kernel and ramdisk when in twrp? I'm guessing ramdisk we select recovery ramdisk...and kernel? I got system and data backed up
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] ryang872:
Flashing kernel.img through "fastboot flash boot kernel.img" absolutely solved my bootloop/brick problem. I am completely new to Huawei phones so if I'm wrong please don't let me spread misinformation.

---------- Post added at 12:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 AM ----------

You'd need to flash kernel as boot through fastboot(fastboot flash boot kernel.img). TWRP would be ramdisk (fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk *****.img). System and Data backed up through TWRP can be restored through TWRP. At least those worked for me in restoring a bootloop/brick.

---------- Post added at 01:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 AM ----------

system.img kernel.img

EDIT: This is for L34 update.zip. I'm going out on a limb by assuming that all honor 7x/mate se versions are the same minus the modem_***.img files. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
Each partition is it's own. Kernel is kernel, ramdisk is ramdisk, etc.

Recovery_ramdisk is recovery_ramdisk

I preferred to make each partition backup as images. Using adb shell and DD commands.

I know it is not in this thread. But in the "(nougat) twrp complete" thread.

This is linked in I believe post two. Where it describes making backup useing DD.

But the partitions are different in oroe, so need to use different codes as in that thread.

I just posted almost same thing yesterday with the links.

Use this guide to make back up. But substitute the partition layout from the following link

Oreo layout

I might be putting together a script that does the backup form you . And put it into a zip file that you run as a twrp install.

I like that idea. Now I said it out load, yeah I like it
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
I made first draft of my dd back up install.

It makes new directory on external card "twrp_backup" then makes dd copies of all 56 partitions. It takes a while to complete. , but gives you all the partitions, as they are. I added echo lines to the script to give you stautus of the backup, but the output is not shown on trwp install window. And it appears to be doing all the lines of the script at same time, not one at a time. So even if the echo commands printed output , it would be all at once.

well hold off on that statement of "it works" 30 minutes plus and still running.

No errors in current log, Adb shell ls (backup directory) shows all partitions. But mtp only showing 42 out of 56.

It appears to be hanging somewhere.

Will update when I find it.

update..

It worked. All 56 partitions backed up. took over an hour. then I realized I had internal storage full of junk. Userdate backup took 23GB.

as long as your data is not so full, should be better time.

maybe someone else can help edit it to be better script.

To return to stock recovery and factory reset what do I restore? Do I need to wipe anything?
[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
none of those would be stock recovery. Because in order to have made that backup, you would have been on twrp. So the backup would be also twrp.

need to get the stock oreo recovery from extracting the recovery_ramdisk from update.app. update.app is in the update.zip of your oreo update. The main zip , not the "public" or "hw" one.

once you have the image. select install menu in twrp. change to install image. And install to "recovery ramdisk" also can be done with fastboot.

Hi guys, first of all I just want to say thank you for this forum.. I ran into it a while back and was inspired to buy a kaiser just because of you guys. I have an iphone right now and I really want to replace it with something that has i don't know user accessible memory, MS office, GPS and the list goes on so I bout an At&t 8925, I got a good price on it and was very happy to finally able to get rid of the iphone

anyway I received the phone a few days ago and proceeded to do a sim unlock to use it with t-mobile after playing with it for a little while, I have already read the wiki, and lot of posts and searches..

I dnloaded this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=375583 and plugged in the phone made sure activesynk connected and flollowed the instructions...

It went through the first step (hard spl) without a problem and I think the second step went well also. After that I begain the third step and the program froze, I waited for almost an hour just to be sure (windows also said it was 'not responding') I finally had no choice but to restart my computer, (its vista)

Anyway I pressed the power button on the phone and the phone acts like its booting up, I see the at&t screen, then it goes to the 3g screen and It just goes to a blank, black screen. I am still able to connect it to my computer and access the phone. I can access the 'boot loader' red blue green screen

I did a soft reset and tried to reload the unlocker porgram but nothing happens, I am stuck and I havent found out what to do through my searches can you guys help me out I am really new to this phone

I even took the time to downgrade my computer from vista to XP (finding all my drivers was a ***** since my computer was shipped with vista) but I found them one by one and still no luck loading the unlocker

one thing I did notice was that the bootloader screen now says "security unlocked" on top, not sure if It did that before

Thanks for all the help

Thanks

Hi guys. I got this device today and am very happy with it.

I'm used to rooting my devices, so I want to root this one too and was hoping you could help me a bit.

I have the Oreo update installed and I see there are some TWRP that work with oreo. What is the best one to use with stock rom? I only want to root so I can install adaway and lucky patcher. Also, if an update comes later this year, like android P or something, can I switch back to the stock recovery, install it and then switch to TWRP again?

So, basically, where can I download stock recovery for Oreo, what TWRP should I use?

Unpair both devices from each other.

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] mp187263:
Mine doesn't have it either (MHA-L29C636 8.0.0.368). Huawei probably took that setting away for whatever reason. I suppose you could try messing with some of the other Bluetooth settings in there. I've found it to be quite reliable.

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] thorin0815:
I bet everyone will name a different rom, but I would suggest Omni Rom, because the developer is pretty quick with fixes. If you don't like Omni, you could try unofficial Lineage 15.1 32bit.

I would definitely not use a 64 bit version, because of the memory leak problems, at least not until we have Motorola's Oreo Kernel sources and drivers.

Personally I wouldn't use any Oreo rom as my daily driver, especially since stock rom has very good performance and battery backup.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] Ragarianok:
I was using AICP but the dev is currently busy with other things, so it hasn't had a working update in a while. RR is pretty good as well. However, if you're not willing to deal with memory leaks, Omni is the way to go.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] corlatemanuel:
I used RR for a week, but the memory leaks were just too bad. H e c c, every single time someone would send me something on Messenger and the chat bubble would appear, my phone would freeze. And while it is true that Omni doesn't suffer from memory leaks, I found it very laggy even after trying clean flashes of multiple builds over time. And yes, Night Light and LiveDisplay were off. I was quite happy with Nitrogen OS at some point, but, if I'm right, it wasn't updated in a while. I'm currently trying a clean flash of AOSiP and I am quite surprised, the ROM is extremely fluid and, even after getting all of my apps from RR back up and running, the RAM didn't get eaten up yet. So I would recommend giving it a try, but every ROM has different features, and everyone has different tastes. So you'll need to do some testing until you find one to suit your preferences. Good luck!
