[Huawei P20 Guides, News, & Discussion] h8Aramex:
From what I have seen on XDA, many unexperienced users tried to flash random updates, OTAs, whatever and messed up big time.

But, Huawei also has a very crappy recovery system. On LG or Samsung, one could never brick the system. On Samsung you always could get out with ODIN. Only issue you could ever face is losing the "efs partition", which you could backup simply beforehand anyway. Other than that, there was no risk of a brick ever. Same for LG, there is no way a KDZ won't flash on a stuck phone.

But to lock up completely from a random OTA file or whatever? Shame on you Huawei.

And hell, if it sucks this much, just charge users like 10-20$ to reflash their devices. Like come on. They send and bring them back. How long does it take to reflash a device in service, with a factory reflash tool? 10 minutes?

Seriously, Huawei has been a huge disappointment for me so far.

- Bought a P10 Plus. Broke after 1 year. It's been in repair for 5 times, never been completely repaired. Now it's still in the center again, total repair time is over 1 month now.

- Bought a Mate 10 Pro so I could use Treble and custom roms. Turns out I have a 50% chance of bricking my device every time I try to flash anything on it.

Great devices Huawei.

Next time I will just go Xiaomi, or Samsung. Who knows. OnePlus looks tempting but their warranty sucks just as much, and the battery is horrid on OP as well.
[Huawei P20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ub42:
I mostly agree with you. I am coming from a Samsung Galaxy and a Nexus5x which were both unbrickable, especially the Nexus5x. On the P20 once unlocked I was unable to get into bootloader mode again. Luckily adb is able to reboot into bootloader mode from where I relocked my device (which also doesn't work as it should, as described on the Nexus Factory page) with the ALL IN ONE TOOL. Because I haven't figured out a safe way to root the P20. I don't get why the manufacturers change bootloader and recovery, can't they just leave it alone an take it from 8.1 stock. From the experience with my Nexus I thought rooting will be very easy, Android is basically unbreakable and that's all I need. Guess I was wrong.

> Great devices Huawei.

I actually think it is a nice device, if you like the MUIUIU thing which is ok for me for now, and don't want to go through all Custom ROMs, it's just fine IF you get your unlock code in time. And someone points me to safe rooting procedure, everything was so easy on the nexus and now this.
[Huawei P20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Peter Walker:
I just tried on https://emui.huawei.com (click on "Unlock" and login with your ID) and was given the code for my P20 phone. It was easy, you just need to fill in the form and you get it immediately. I am not planning on using it for now, but wanted to have it just in case.
[Huawei P20 Guides, News, & Discussion] z@d@:
I think Huawei don't send unlock key for specific EMLs probably those who related to the Chinese region, I have P20 EML-AL00 and also failed to get the unlock key.

Already followed all forum suggestions to get the key from Huawei: access EMUI from the Chinese link, fill any of my IMEIs & contact support ...

Huawei site returns the error message "If you have any questions about the unlock code application, please contact us." so I assume they stopped unlocking phones from the Chinese region.

BTW, I switched from OnePlus to Huawei because the camera quality, but if this issue won't solve soon I'll return the device to the store and get a different device which is of course not Huawei (and never order Huawei phone again...)

Any ideas how to unlock the bootloader without Huawei help?!?
[Huawei P20 Guides, News, & Discussion] z@d@:
Ok, as suspected Huawei won't provide a unlock key to Chaines region phones. Below Huawei support message I received.

Sending back my phone to the store... :crying:

Problems with rooted PRA-LA01 P8 Lite 2017

Hi G.Man,

Can you perhaps help? My Huawei P8 Lite 2017 PRA-LA01 is rooted. I can't upgrade to Oreo although the OTA download completed. After the download it takes me to TWRP. I go to the data/update folder to do it manually, but it fails with an ERROR: 9. Is there a way to do this manually. I've done MANY searches on the internet and all the links to the norecovery file is missing. Do I need to flash a new version of TWRP?
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] dinoderda:
Try using HuR Updater,you can find the way to use it in the forums.
[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] werner.lombaard:

[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] dinoderda:
No but it is compatible on basically the newer Huawei phones including our P8 Lite 2017.

[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] dannyzamora:
In the folder what is the stock recovery that need to flash over twrp (in oreo) before try to ota update? This "recovery_ramdis.img"?

Pd. Need to unroot too before ota update or its fine just flashing stock recovery?

Thanks for the help!

[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] G.Man.:
recovery_ramdis.img is correct

Flash with adb fastboot:

fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdis.img

That's all you have to do. You don't need an unroot.

As far as I know, the ta 1025 is basically the same as ta 1021. The recovery is in the [RECOVERY] TWRP 3.2 (and a sneak peak...) Thread here in the forums. You have to look for the image with 64bit on the filename, it lays in a MEGA link. Sorry for not linking but I am on mobile now and don't have that much time. I'll link it later.

Well its a long process I used a post called convert global to Chinese ROM nokia 6 and I followed the instructions.then I proceeded to buy a bootloader unlock key and did the note you must click on edit phone information in OST before attempting the unlock as it needs the service permissions then just use fastboot with latest adb platform tools .i used the dm-verity commands to allow partition flashing and the critical commands for bootloader flashing and I flashed the unlock bin file.Im using the Chinese ROM as it has more features and NFC you'd have to sideload the play store but it works.also wouldn't hurt to check the forums for the other commands.the official recovery on twrp.me works flawlessly.also make sure you battery is at the least 50% charged anything below 15%charge ost will refuse to flash

This device is known (in one form or another) as the "Alcatel 3 Dual SIM LTE EMEA 5052D".

I also had found out the following, that's a great lead as to another way for a possible TWRP Recovery for this device.

This device has a "MediaTek MT6739" Chipset within it and, though there's sporadic information on the forum regarding this device by Make and Model, there's definitely another route you can go.

Try searching for information including (but, not limited to) TWRP for "MT6739", "MT67xx" and even simply "Mediatek Devices". Just be sure that the your positive, just by asking within said thread, that it's compatible for devices with the MT6739 OR MT67xx.

FYI... MT67xx = All Mediatek Variants that begin with "MT67".

TeMeFI

View attachment 6015327​

This app provides/returns a bucket load of information regarding your device and the currently running ROM, and much, much more. And hence the name "TeMeFI"; as its Too Much F????? Information. The F stands for whatever your comfortable with.;)

BETA has a small menu bug, just click on home to get back to normal.

Download: TeMeFI v1.2.03-BETA

MD5: 9FFF4BDCBC843A2207E4430BA175C60A

Download: TeMeFI v1.2.02

MD5: ED4DD65A9719BB4EA2D579CA29441C1A

Simply download the APK and install as normal, and allow root when asked, and grant storage permissions. I *think* the very first time you run it, there possibly may be an issue with the menu. Simply stop and restart the app.

You can use it without root, but you will be HEAVILY limited in what you can do. Also, installing busybox opens another menu for you, and so does Magisk (17.*+). SQLite3 is also a HUGE feature adder (ie if you have it, it enables many many methods). Can be installed via Magisk if your ROM does not have it by default.

If you are unrooted, have a read of the following post, regarding a recently added feature for non-root users

https://xdaforums.com/t/app-tool-te...-administration.3806260/page-38#post-84803685

The "search" function is very useful for finding what you need, but it does not search inside dynamic menu's. Its the magnifying glass in the slide out toolbar/menu

The current menu can be viewed within the app at TeMeFI Configuration>Show Whole Menu or a historic example at:

Fly-out Toolbar items and their Actions

The fly out toolbar has had its buttons and their corresponding actions change over time. However of recent, they have been pretty stable, and as they have changed over time, and I probably said what / how their function changed, its probably all over the thread. So, I thought it might be best to have a single location / doco of what the current buttons actually do.

Firstly, to display the toolbar, simply click on the menu. If it isn't already showing.

View attachment 4985805

EVERY button, has both a "short-press" and "long-press" action.

The icons kind-of relate to their short press action.

NB The following are from v1.0..19 The main difference are a long press on the [<] arrow goes back to the previous results, and a long press of the [HOME} icon reloads the current menu (useful if you filtered the menu items), and a long press on the pencil icon saves off the action as a favourite. Also, the long press on the exit icon [X] acts to filter a menu list that was generated by code. eg any list of installed apps

For Short-press actions:

View attachment 5288283

For Long press actions

View attachment 5288281

If you get an error, a toast will be shown which is HEAVILY CUT DOWN, so please no screen shots! :mad: Also, in a recent release a Bomb Icon will appear on the screen after an error. Short press to display then FULL error, or long press the bomb to clear the error. It will not clear by itself.

And again, NOT a screen shot of the results. Save off the results using the save button (ie the pencil icon explained above), then get the log text file from /sdcard/TeMeFI, and attach it to a post.

please stop with the screenshots of a cut down error message :cry::cry::cry:

A quick explanation of "Dynamic Lists".

These are built live on the phone at the time you click on them. For example, the "Traces" menu item lists all the trace files contained currently in your "/data/anr" directory. The results will be different between users and even at different times for the same user. It is not a fixed list.

Another example (which is a little different) is the dumpsys menu item, which makes a call to

dumpsys -l

to retrieve a list of running services for which a call to dumpsys is then valid for

V 1.0.2 released

Some changes include, but are not limited to:

* internal system improvementrs

* Better display of when its busy

* Added warning confirmation on a few longer running processes

* Handle the back button to go "up a menu" Previously it exited the app :o oops

* Enable "Up a menu" from "Dynamic lists"

* Faster Load of Dumpsys calls to create menu

* Added numerous new items inc, but not limited to Dropbox files, Tombstones, A few extra Busybox & others

NB:although it was there in the previous version, you may be interested in the "Duplicate files" report, which is based only off the Media DB. And off of the display_name (basically the filename) and the file size. It can be found at: SQL Based > Duplicate Files

Long press the "Menu Up" to return to the root/starting menu

Long press the top text boxes between the menu and the "save to" (ie ">>") to get a report of the actual script run to return the last selected results
