I want to install your ROM on my phone CLT-L29 in 2020 year. All of this is (version of android, etc.) still actual ?
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] The-Cronos:
Is there a definitive guide to unlock bootloader on huawei p20 pro?

I need to root it as well, so any guide I can follow step by step to root it correctly.

What is the best rom to put after that?

Will the Ota updates be available automatically ? Becuse I just don't want any update, I want them to not come to the phone at all.

Si I can have the root to be permanent.

Thank you

I followed your first 5 steps, then

- install twrp and enter to recovery

- Make a FULL Wipe on TWRP(DALVIK-CACHE,CACHE,DATA,SYSTEM)

- flash the rom

- flash the energyword.zip

- reboot

then still in boot loop, are there any steps I did wrong?

[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] raffratz:
1. First of all you need unlock the bootloader

2. than you need twrp and that see twrp the sd card uncryptet

3. you create an Folder on sd card withe name erergyword

4. than you unzip from Data_CLT09_128a or CLT29 the 3 zip files

5. than you copy the 3 zip files in the erergyword folder on sd card

Now you have two ways... first is you install the orginal firmware from huawei first and than the modded firmware from here. That help me ;)

Some People have maybe problems because they come from older firmwares or different firmwares and have bootloops or the bootloader hang after boot.

The script erergyword can install orginal firmwares when an correct update.zip file in the folder is. That procedure maybe override something what the wipe

not do ;)

The way from here is that you install first the firmare over twrp (not over the energyword script with update.zip) and than run the ernergyword script wihout

update.zip

Greatings raffi?

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

And the bootlopps are on the original firmware or on the firmware from here?

4 - Unzip and copy (Data_CLT09_128a or CLT29) folder to sdcard (go to twrp on energyword folder and choose energyword.zip)

This Step only if I have stock 128a already installed (is it true?)

5 - If come from another firmware..(put this update.zip on Data_CLT09_128a or CLT29 folder and install on twrp) update.zip

I must install stock firmware (whit stock update.zip) by energyword script or over twrp directly?

8 - Install Rom

Same question,install zip by twrp or by Energiword script?
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] raffratz:

Sorry to add to the pile of mundane questions, Im sure I know but if could just get some clarity from someone who knows please.

I'm on a 782 fw is 110 and it's an L09

I'm guessing I need to rebrand my device prior to attempting to use this ROM?

The firmware by the looks of it is updated with the ROM but obviously the device wouldn't be.

Has anyone tried to flash this on the 782 device?

[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] xsacha:
It's literally the first link in the message you quoted, the guide to rebrand!

Anyway, I hope someone can simplify it because as it is, the whole procedure (from debrand to this rom) involves flashing twrp about 3 times, installing a stock firmware 3 times and finally the ROM itself.
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] reeved:

Installing the stock rom works fine for me but after I go back to twrp and wipe and flash the modded rom it just bootloops.

1. Download RomAur_P20 PRO_B128a_v1.0

2. Download either Data_CLT09_128a or Data_CLT29_128a(depending on your phone)

3. Download update.zip if you need to update your phones firmware

4. Copy RomAur_P20 PRO_B128a_v1.0 to the phone SDCard

5. Unzip Data_CLT09_128a or Data_CLT29_128a(depending on your phone) - this gives you 3 further zip files, do you then put these in a folder called 'energyword' on the phones SDCard?

Then what?

Rom installation

Hi, i managed to install the rom with success.

Here are the steps i followed

1. Unlock bootloader

2. Install TWRP recovery

3. Download RomAur_P20 PRO_B128a_v1.0

4. Download either Data_CLT09_128a or Data_CLT29_128a(depending on your phone)

5. Download update.zip if you need to update your phones firmware

6. Copy RomAur_P20 PRO_B128a_v1.0 to the phone SDCard

7. Unzip Data_CLT09_128a or Data_CLT29_128a(depending on your phone) - this gives you 3 further zip files, do you then put these in a folder called 'energyword' on the phones SDCard

8. Add update.zip in energyword folder

9. Start in recovery with TRWP and laucnch

10. Install energyword.zip (this updates the firmware with original one) this step is only if you need to update firmware

11. Reboot, go into EMUI and delete update.zip + enable usb debugging

12. Reinstall TWRP recovery

13. Boot into TWRP recovery

14. Install the rom

15. Install energyword.zip (without update zip in the folder this time)

16. Reboot and wait

My experience with this custom rom is good.

Root is ok but safety net doesn,t pass (but i didn't try to go further)

The only annoying bug is the 'incompatible version' notification after each app installation or update.

But if you ignore it, the app works good

NFC if ok !

Lol, I'm terrified of flashing this, it'll almost certainly mean I'll get something wrong, partly why I haven't already. Isn't there a way to package the installation?

As in one thing to flash? Or is the ppro just a weird phone?
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] OneCheekyDevil:
In the old days, you could get away with flashing one file. Now, in order for updates to happen faster and more smoothly, android has split the system into different partitions. That's why there are so many files to flash and a process to go through.

To give you an idea of what is happening, it's like installing windows. First you flash the updated bios, then the boot sector on the HD, then install the OS on one partition, the hardware drivers on another partition, and third party software on a third partition (gapps).

When android needs to update from 8.0 to 8.1, it'll only have to update the OS partition.

When android updates from 7.0 to 8.0, both the OS and drivers partition get updated.

For our phone, it was released with different mods (1/2 sims, different antenna hardware for different countries, etc). To flash this ROM, you need to bring your phone to the same specs as the chef that cooks it. Otherwise it won't work the same way as his does.
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dlads:
Cheers. It does make a lot of sense now with how you've explained it.

I know about being on the same firmware with other devices, Oneplus 5 I've just got rid of though, 1 file lol, HTC again same.

They're on 8.1 too.

Not having a moan just unfamiliar with it.
