Decrypt device

Hello,

I have the latest 2019 build, and I cannot install any zip using TWRP because the partitions are encrypted.

Do you have the latest decryption file ?
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] hfmls:
Is this a thing still? Loved the concept
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] maahmd:
how i can fix this proplem ?!!? with anyway to backup and restore..i try hisute backup and also background not running with chat apps !!:(
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kessaras:
Chat apps not working in the background means that something broke the core gapps package and it's not working properly.

The only way sadly is to go into the stock recovery and wipe data. It will be like booting a new phone again.

But with the rom you have flashed

Did anyone try installing via ADB sideload?
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] reppi:
That's what I asked before. I'm also curious if it would work.
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FirstEver:
Almost done!

I have been fighting with Google Apps for three days now :P

Official Stock GApps with Pixel Setup app - apps works but you can't sign in to Google Account (black screen after "Checking info...")

Unofficial GApps without Pixel Setup app - everything works fine but you have to sign in manually.

I still can't backup the data partition, so I will move all apps to system partition and you will be able to remove it later using System App Remover [ROOT] app.
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mickrick:
I believe that development on the P20 is practically non-existent due to Huawei's dreadful treatment of owners by refusing to issue bootloader unlock keys. And as a result, developers aren't falling over themselves to produce a fully working twrp. And who could blame them? If Huawei continues with its current intransigence it runs the danger of existing and future customers looking elsewhere when laying out huge sums of money for their next handset.

But hopefully a developer will prove me wrong.
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Mara-X:
99.99% of smartphone users doesn't care about rooting/custom roms. Stopping giving bootloader codes out, won't hurt Huawei one bit.
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ereniemis:
Sad.... But very true....
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mickrick:
If we were talking about Samsung or Apple I would agree with you. But with the majority of new brands the first to adapt are developers and enthusiasts. Once word gets out from these camps, then the general public will take notice. One Plus is a prime example.
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FirstEver:
Unfortunately, I can't move the Google apps to the system partition because it will break signing to Google account :(

What a NIGHTMARE - my brain hurts!

Possible solutions:

TWRP that supports decryption

Unofficial GApps - stock version

Two-stage installation: ROM in TWRP + GApps (maybe ADB or siple APK's)

Thank you for your donations! :)
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LJAM96:
Do Unofficial Gapps work? thats seems like a perfectly fine solution
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] forever_lol:
Let's not spam the development thread.

One Plus and Pixel are exceptions here. Developers and enthusiasts are unfortunately only little percentage of general user base.
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] reppi:
I think most of us can live with mindthegapps or something like that. Have you tested those?

And why do you need decryption? Doesn't it work with USB OTG or adb sideload? I've even flashed an update via hurupdater with official, encrypted twrp via USB OTG before so it should work as well.
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FirstEver:
While I'm fighting GApps, would anyone be able to dump the NFC Service app (apk) from EMUI 9 Beta and share it here?

UPDATE - FIRST GOOD NEWS TODAY!

It is possible to restore the AOSP 9.0 system from TWRP backup! :)
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] teh roxxorz:
Post edited, cause I forgot to read.

However nice work!

---------- Post added at 11:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 PM ----------

Wouldn't you be able to download it from the P20 Pro ROM and then rip it?
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FirstEver:
I did (NFC Service_com.android.nfc.apk v8.1), but it was from EMUI 8.1 and I need version 9.0 (not 8.1).

EDIT

Also you can dump the "Smart Controller" apk (for IR) from EMUI 9.0 beta, because version 1.00.01 from EMUI 8.1 doesn't work on AOSP 9.0.

Even if Smart Controller (from EMUI 9) will not work I have a working replacement (a 3rd party app) for AOSP 9.0 - tested and working! :)
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] reppi:
This is the NFC service apk from Telegram group.

Thank you for your effort!
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] apfelquark:
Sorry If its a Dump Question does it mean it is possible to install it - or do we need another peace before its done?
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LJAM96:
Good to hear so would it be restore TWRP backup, flash unofficial Gapps, flash Magisk and you're good to go?

Would love to test it out soon
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FirstEver:
Technically speaking - yes, but it will take about 30-60 minutes to make it looks like "Pixel 3" on the picture.

- installing mods

- removing AOSP system apps

- installing missing Google apps

- installing some Magisk modules

- moving some apps to the system partition

- replacing some system apps

- setting up apps

It is better to restore my TWRP backup (only system partition) and install missing Google apk's manually - approx. 5 minutes.

Best option will be fixing TWRP data encryption, so I will be able to backup both System and Data partitions - installing (like on Nexus 5) will take approx 30 seconds.

Unfortunately, it did not work. NFC will not work, someone else has to fix it.
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] apfelquark:
So how do we get your twrp Backup? Could you give us / me a quick tutorial how its done?
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] LJAM96:
Doesn't gapps usually remove the asop apps it replaces?

Also NFC is an issue on other roms and treble roms
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FirstEver:
You have to remove ~14 AOSP apps like Camera, Clock, Phone etc.

UPDATE - I think it's done!

Three Steps Installation:

1. Flashing the TWRP in ADB

2. Restoring the System Partition in TWRP

3. Restoring the Data Partition in ADB*

*I'm not sure if you will be able to restore my data.ab file (data partition) via ADB on your phone ??

In the worst case, you will have to manually install all applications (about 40 from apk files) one by one.

It's time to test it on stock (unlocked) EMUI 8.1 :)

Hi bro!

To decrypt data you need to do this;

Download this file https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76127762&postcount=429

or the flashable zip https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76132974&postcount=430

after that, if you do it manually, go to vendor/etc and replace the fstab... with the file that you downloaded. If you have twrp, just flash the zip.

After that, you'll need to wipe data on stock recovery (backup your internal memory)

Now, reboot into fastboot, flash again your twrp and done! Data is decrypted now :)

It worked for me and others, so it should work for you, give it a try :)

#If the name of your stock fstab file is different, just rename the file that you downloaded :)

[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] reppi:

Yes I know, but then I could not find the fstab.kirin970 file (it is strange).

Now I replaced it and after formatting the data partition in TWRP it remains decrypted :)

"you'll need to wipe data on stock recovery" - you can wipe data on TWRP :)

NOW I CAN FINISH MY PROJECTY PROPERLY! :D
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sfoot13:
If you have problems with internal memory, you'll need wipe with stock.

Sometimes when you wipe using twrp, the internal memory isn't recognized, but if it worked for you :D that's good.

To keep the stock Huawei Kernel 4.4.103+, uncheck "kernel partition" when you restore UBR via TWRP.

If you don't need ROOT permission, uncheck "ramdisk partition" when you restore UBR via TWRP (but you will lose the Pixel theme color).

[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] FirstEver:

- Yes, with pre-installed GApps "Pico" variant (system) + other Google apps (non-system)

You can uninstall all (non-system) apps and use System App Remover [ROOT] to uninstall all (system) apps including all Google services.

If you don't want to use Google apps try Yalp Store !!!
[Huawei P20 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Kusznier:
Yeah, but on google roms, there are 2-3 apps that replaces original rom apps and cannot be removed.
