[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] ultrajapa:
I may actually be wrong in the first post. I just found this picture showing that new Huawei supercharge only supports normal charging at 5V/2A (10W), quick charging at 9V/2A (18W) and new supercharging at 10V/4A (40W)
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Jwan:
so the mate 20 x will either be using 18 or 40W.. this makes it actually more likable that it gets 40W. cause 18 is not a huawei thing.. we just need someone who has both devices to try it :rolleyes:
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jasaero:
Yeah....I like how everyone assumes it won't do 40w, but so far I have seen no proof with some killawatt or similar and the two different chargers plugged up to a 20X at similar points early in the charge cycle when they are trying to push as hard as possible. I wouldn't be surprised at all if it will do the 40w with the 40w charger and just doesn't ship with one. I don't think it will make a huge difference in charge time anyhow as I sorta doubt they go over 22w for too long anyhow regardless, but would like proof it won't do it. The 4a charge is the only real reason the 22w is so much better than 18w. I think some BBK devices are high amp and under 22w and end up pretty close just cause they are the higher amp regime like the Huawei.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Jwan:
Lol if I had the money to buy both just for an experiment I would ..

if it DOES make use of same 40W technique, I think it would be rather a 20-25% difference
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jasaero:
Yeah....not going to change things drastically as it's probably not over 22.5w for long anyhow. Should get through some initial burst of juice early after you plug it up a lot faster...but getting from 10-100% is going to be somewhat similar amount of time. 10-30% jump could happen way faster possibly though.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] TiGer0:
Anyone know our 20X can charge by 9V? I couldn't find any information.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] speedtripler:
I will test it soon and measure whether it makes any difference or not

I have ordered the chinese 8/256 version and I'll test it with a 40watt brick

If it doesn't work any faster than 22.5w I would think huawei must have crippled it from the software end and that maybe fixable

I can't see any hardware limitation that would stop the same chipset pulling the same voltage (I think the 40w even uses the same cable as the 22.5w)
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jackmeat:
What I don't understand is there are all these talented people out there, finding ways to do virtually anything to their phones, but there doesn't seem to be any normal solution to receiving an OTA update on a phone that has twrp and rooted and just install the update. The phone is obviously getting the right update, it restarts to install and twrp fails with error 7. There are all kinds of people saying "unpack the zip, remove the asserts line, which doesn't work, at least for this update. Also try using the dload method, but really the ultimate question is, why hasn't a simple solution to just installing this ever have been found? Is the way that all this stuff works in the background just so difficult that a legit update cannot be installed because the stock recovery isn't present? and if so, why can't a way around this obstacle be found.

I would just like to install updates as they come down (i assume by now this phone is trying to work its way up to android 8, or oreo) but i am stuck just ignoring it. I don't mind a little messing around to get things to work, i just haven't found any that actually do and don't involve wiping out the phone and installing everything again. Any answers are appreciated.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
Dude. There is a way. I had the same thought before I pressed search on XDA and spent the next 3 hours digging in every Honor Forum and XDA and here is my tried and tested solution.

Make sure you have TWRP installed.

Download Firmware Finder from the Play store, enter your Model Number and download latest FULL-OTA for it. Only Full OTA will work.

Search for and Download Hurupdater from thread. Specifically Hurupdater 0.4

Rename files as specified in Hurupdater thread. Transfer them and Hurupdater to same folder on SD card. i.e all 4 files need to be in same folder. Now boot into TWRP and select Only Hurupdater to flash. Press Volume down when promoted and sit back for a few minutes. Once it completes wipe Dalvik Cache and Reboot.

Now you are on the firmware you wanted without factory reset.

A few things to note.

Your device shouldn't be Rooted. Unrooted first.

First boot will take some time approx. 10 mins. Don't Panic

After update TWRP will be overwritten. Reflash TWRP.

Don't use this to go from EMUI 5 to 8. You will brick your phone

In Firmware Finder there will be three Zips. Rename them as follows:

Update.zip -> don't rename

Update_data_full_public.zip -> update_data_public.zip

Last one will be region specific with your model number. Rename it to update_all_hw.zip

Good Luck.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jackmeat:
Ok, I'll give it a shot and respond later. Like I said, I don't mind jumping through a few hoops. One question, how can I make sure whatever latest full OTA is doesn't have emui 8 in it? will that firmware finder point out what is in it?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
If it has EMUI 8 it will be mentioned in the title of the firmware like 8.0.0.536 or something. Currently only India and China have EMUI 8. However to be safe I advise you to go to system update and Download & install. It will Download firmware and ask you to install. Hit cancel and using file explorer go to internal storage. There will be a folder named HwOUC. You will find three firmwares archives there. Use them. Make sure they are Full OTA by checking the size of archives. Update.zip should be at least greater than 1 GB
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jackmeat:
Yeah, I looked in the changelog, and it isn't emui 8. Plus it not being available in the USA kinda answers that as well ;) I was going to ask if i could just use the files that are sitting in my HWOUC folder already, but you beat me to that question. so i should just move that over to my sd card into a temp folder along with that hurupdater app?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jackmeat:
Ouch...this locks the bootloader....so can't get twrp or SU back on without losing my data (well, i have a backup, but would have to restore everything, at least i assume) if i unlock the bootloader
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
If it's stock firmware it will. Forget that download from firmware Finder
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jackmeat:
Well, it was too late anyway, so the OTA files that were existing on my phone for B376 did flash fine, but now I lost TWRP and root. Beyond that, B377 tried to install today, and even though now my phone is back to factory (i assume, since those changes had been made) Now it fails on the next update of B377 on the EMUI recovery screen and tells me "software install failed get help from http://www.emui.com/emotiondownload.......

Am I stuck now using your method above for each and every OTA update that comes through? If so, how would that be possible since I am unable to get TWRP back onto my phone.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
Just reflash TWRP. It should flash fine. And yes, if you plan on using EMUI 8 the above mentioned method is the only way to update. Normally I would recommend you to Ditch EMUI and install a custom ROM. There are a lot of great ROM available for our device. If you want to flash one I will be more than happy to guide you.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jackmeat:
Well, I am still on EMUI 5 right now. I was kind of hoping not to go through flashing a custom ROM since I went through doing that on my LG nexus 5, and yes, it was great once it worked, it was a real pain to get to that working part. I was hoping the standard OTAs were going to get me up to android 8, and then just be happy with that. So I am unsure how I can flash TWRP again since my bootloader is locked again. Basically if I am going to be stuck wiping my phone out again, then I suppose I would be inclined to going the route of a custom ROM. So I guess it is just a matter of if I can get twrp on here again without wiping my phone again (unlocking the bootloader)
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
Um, no. You can't get TWRP with a locked bootloader. And also you can't go from EMUI 5 to 8 via Hurupdater. In Oreo partition table changes and Hurupdater can't flash that. So you will have to upgrade to Oreo manually. You can easily do that. It will take an hour to get to Oreo as well as flashing a ROM.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jackmeat:
so in essence what you are saying is that I can't go any further at all right now without wiping my phone again so i can unlock the bootloader? As of right now, I don't even know Huawei is going to release Oreo for this phone OTA, and even if it does, right now I can't get it. So since you have been so helpful (and very much appreciate it btw) what do you think is my best course? I don't think unlocking the bootloader will be an issue. i have the code saved somewhere around here. I wasn't all dead set on EMUI, it was just kind of nice staying somewhat in the realm of legit. And no, I have no qualms about straying outside of that. I just didn't want the nightmare I had with my nexus occurring again and not having use of my phone as a phone for the longest time. I'll await to see what you think I should do. Thanx again
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
Well. Flashing is easy. I'd recommend you to unlock your bootloader. And after that download HWOTA from thread. I will provide link. Next I want you to decide that wether you want stock EMUI 8 or want to flash a custom ROM. Depending on that I would advise you to either get Indian or Chinese EMUI 8. Indian is good for daily driver. Chinese for flashing custom ROM

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jackmeat:
Looks like I will be stuck either way with wiping the phone, so I may as well go the custom ROM road. Don't really need to bother with the HwOTA then I wouldn't think. Unless I am missing something here. So who are the players for custom these days? still cyanogen? I saw on a search thay had android oreo 8.1. I used their custom ROM on my nexus as well. I most likely won't be getting to this now until tomorrow. I'll backup my phone...oh ****, titanium isn't gonna work. no more root....ok, i'll unlock bootloader, get twrp and root back on my phone and backup so definitely not until tomorrow. Only question for tonight is do I still need that HwOTA? I think I am a bit confused on what exactly I am trying to achieve. is it EMUI 8 with custom ROM of android 8? or nixing EMUI completely. Pardon my ignorance, but I really am just a bit hazy here on how this all works. all this for some stupid security update only because I thought it would open my phone back up to getting the OTAs and Huawei would release 8.....
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
Well. Since you are on EMUI 5 you will have to use HWOTA once you get to EMUI 8 as all custom ROMs require that. It also adds Project Treble support. So you will be flashing EMUI 8 once. After that, it's your choice. Either stay in stock or take the custom road. In terms of stock, there are currently 3 Android 8.1 ROMs available by OpenKirin and one Pie ROM available by Askuccio Droid. OpenKirin ROMs have stock camera in built while Pie ROM is.... Well Android Pie. All of them are smooth, have tweaks and great battery life and are infinitely better than stock EMUI 8. If you want the stock road, upgrade to BLN-AL20. That's the Chinese EMUI 8 and better for custom ROM. If you want stock EMUI 8 then go for BLN-L22.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jackmeat:
Ok, I must just be really tired. Is there not some way for me to just get back to whatever is causing this next OTA to stop? Meaning even though it is just some stupid piddly update, just get my phone to accept that without going totally overboard and what seems to be a bit above what I know how to do. That way the OTAs will just come at their own pace and I'll live with not having all the bells and whistles. Just going back to stock sort of thing. That is kind of what I thought was going to happen when you so very graciously and successfully got that last update to work. That way I can try something new and just be patient until Huawei forces out android 8 on their own.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
So you want to remain on stock EMUI 5? Well it's your choice. Anyway check a few things.

1. Is your bootloader locked? Do you get a warning screen when phone turns on?

2. Do you have TWRP recovery? Or stock?

3. Lastly is your phone rooted?

If your bootloader is locked, you have stock recovery and your phone isn't rooted, then congratulations. You are on stock EMUI 5 and you should receive OTA normally. Or at least I hope so.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jackmeat:
Now it fails on the next update of B377 on the EMUI recovery screen and tells me "software install failed get help from http://www.emui.com/emotiondownload.......

This shows the EMUI 5.0 screen
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
Can you tell me what is it that you're trying to do and what's failing. I can't tell much from this.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jackmeat:
I am not trying to do anything. The phone has received an OTA update, B377, and after it downloads, it says install. click to restart now. After restarting to do the install (the everyday, normal OTA update method, nothing fancy) then it goes to that error. Only option from that black EMUI screen is "reboot now"
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] :
When you restart your phone do you get warning your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted screen. Maybe you still have TWRP installed. Did you unroot with Magisk?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jackmeat:
No, as I said, the warning screen is gone. Doesn't nag about being untrsuted or anything like that. Just goes right to blue Huawei screen. I never had Magisk, so didn't use that. I went to SU, did the full unroot. rebooted the phone and then uninstalled the SU app.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jackmeat:
My weekly Titanium backup attempted to run yesterday, and failed since it could NOT gain root access, so the phone definitely is not still rooted.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] :
Well at this point I don't know what's causing the issue. Maybe you could try a factory reset but that won't work. Alternatively you could try to flash stock images via fastboot but that requires an unlocked Bootloader and that brings us back to Square One. So if you want to take the risk of factory reset, you're welcome to try. Another alternative I just thought of is to dload the firmware. Download Firmware Finder from Play Store. It should Automatically detect your device. From there download the update.zip of latest full OTA. Next extract it and copy the content into a new folder dload into your SD card. Next power off your phone and then hold Power+Volume Up+Volume Down to start dload. Maybe it can fix that.

Lastly if all fails I advise you to just accept the lemons, unlock the Bootloader and then update to EMUI 8. Try it for a week and if you like it, then good. If not then flash a custom ROM. They're better than stock anyway.

And I will of course guide you step-by-step till the very end. So try dload, if it works good for you. If not then make up your mind and then PM me.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] WetWilly:
I'll jump in because I was in a similar predicament as the OP, and in fact skipped multiple updates because of the relocked bootloader and factory reset that occurs when you re-unlock it.

Mannan gave the best advice, use HuRUpdater 0.4. A couple of tips from my experience with it:

1) Make sure you are using the FullOTA firmware files and have renamed them per the instructions. Generally, unless you force a full download, I have found the OTA files in the HWOUC directory to be the diff files version, which HuRUpdater does not use.

2) To make sure you have TWRP when HuRUpdater finishes updating your firmware, rename your TWRP .img file to recovery.img and place it in the HuRUpdater directory. HuRUpdater automatically flashes any recovery.img file in its directory after it has finished flashing the firmware.

3) If you are using Magisk for root, then before you run HuRUpdater:

a) Extract the boot.img file from the firmware (unzip the large update.zip file and extract update.app, then run the Huawei Firmware Extractor utility - which is on XDA somewhere - and extract the boot.img file), and copy the boot.img file to your 6X.

b) Go to Magisk Manager and click on install, then select Patch Boot Image. Navigate to your boot.img file and let Magisk patch it; Magisk will save a patched copy of the boot.img file and name it patched_boot_image.img or something like that.

c) Copy the patched boot image to the HuRUpdater directory. When HuRUpdater has finished running, do NOT reboot; instead immediately select flash image, navigate to your patched boot image, select Boot partition as partition to flash, and let TWRP flash the Magisk boot image.

d) Clear Dalvik cache in TWRP then reboot.

I have done this with the B376 and B377 updates, and it has worked flawlessly. At this point however, it looks like OP will have to bite the bullet and re-unlock the bootloader which wipes the phone.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] :
Wow. Thanks. I would just like to add a few things.

After Hurupdater finishes and you boot your phone for the first time, simply reflash TWRP. I know you can place it in the folder but that never works for me. It remains stuck at your device is booting now when I try to boot into TWRP and I have to hard reset. So I find it easier to flash after first boot.

For OTA files you can use Firmware Finder. It will automatically detect your model number. From there just download latest Full OTA and flash it. Some people have claimed using HwOUC files relocked their Bootloader.

For Magisk, if you are rooted before using Hurupdater unroot first from within Magisk Manager. After you are done updating, and have flashed TWRP, simply flash latest Magisk via TWRP. What you said also works but this one is a tad bit simpler.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] WetWilly:
Thanks for your tips on my tips! :laugh:

I'm assuming you have renamed the TWRP image file to recovery.img, and if you have I'm not sure if that is an issue with HuRUpdater. I have two Honor 6X phones, and on both of them it is *very* tricky to get into TWRP on first boot. Since I use the Xposed Framework on both phones, I find it easier to let HuRUpdater flash the TWRP recovery then reboot the phone when everything is finished and let the first boot complete, go to the Xposed manager app, and select "Reboot to recovery" from there. I did that the first times I tried HuRUpdater to ensure TWRP has been flashed properly and it has worked every time when I have let HuRUpdater flash the TWRP recovery.img file.

Seriously, like 4 times out of 5 when I try to get into TWRP on first boot I end up in eRecovery instead.

Good idea to use Firmware Finder, only caution is that sometimes newer firmware is available there even though the 6X shows no update is available. Generally it's OK but Huawei has had firmware available on FF and updated it before making it officially available in the System Update app. Regarding the files in the HwOUC folder, I have found that I always get the small OTA package which is a no-no to use with HuRUpdater. The only time I got the full package in there was when the regular update failed twice; then eRecovery downloaded the 2GB+ package. I believe the new(er) firmwares' System Update app will let you force a full firmware download.

I thought HuRUPdater is supposed to warn you if the flash is going to force a system reset?

Yes, that's a bit simpler. I gave my procedure because 1) I don't like unrooting phones, 2) I have two phones and I keep copies of the boot.img, recovery.img and the Magisk patched boot.img files, and 3) I can copy the new full OTA package and patched boot image to each phone and have everything done in one visit to TWRP - let HuRUpdater flash new firmware/TWRP, flash Magisk boot.img; clear Dalvik, reboot, and it's all done in one shot without reflashing TWRP from fastboot and then flashing Magisk from TWRP.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] :
Wow. Just wow. You really are an enthusiast. Especially the two phones. Anyway I now almost never use Hurupdater. Currently I am running a stable Pie ROM and have no reason to flash stock. And that's another use of Hurupdater. You can use it to go back to stock. Much simpler than Huawei eRecovery. Or HwOTA. And I also have all the files always present. And Hurupdater does warn. And it also warns when an update relocks the bootloader. The reason why I said that was cause a user who used this method claimed that it caused there bootloader to lock. Firmware Finder generally gets Newer Firmware first and it's safe.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] jackmeat:
Yeah, that user would be me. Both of you were going back and forth over my head, so with the holidays and all, I hadn't worried about the phone. It is working and all, so no brick or anything. Well, yeah, the method did lock my bootloader, and I had TWRP in the folder along (recovery.img) with the properly named firmware files. The update to B376 was no problem, but TWRP did not flash, there was certainly no warning given during hurupdater that said anything about resetting or locking anything, or i wouldn't have done it. Either way, this method did lock my bootloader, and the next step will be unlocking that and most likely asking for help on how to just flash a custom rom since it seems being everyday joe user and getting OTA updates normally isn't going to happen when I have TWRP flashed and my phone rooted. We can also remove this magisck app from the equation, I have never heard of it and surely didn't use it. I just flashed SU via adb and that was that. And as I was instructed, I removed root via SU and then removed it completely before using hurupdater. I do appreciate all the help though. This stable Pie custom ROM you speak of might be my next step.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] WetWilly:
Thanks! Yes, have one for me and the other person on my account. Makes troubleshooting a lot easier when we both have the same phones. Love our Honors, only issue is that in the US we are unlikely to get full LTE band and WiFi calling/VoLTE support in future models. Oh yes, and Huawei's whole "we're not unlocking bootloaders anymore" thing is also an issue.

Have been through the phase of custom ROMs and, while I can tolerate less than 100% functionality, the other person on my account cannot. Learned that the hard way. I ultimately found that we were better off using the stock ROM + Magisk's Root + Xposed + relevant Magisk/Xposed modules to "fix" any shortcomings with the stock ROM.

Amen to that! HuRUpdater is really a great piece of work. I felt for the OP since I had been on the B366 update for a very long time because a normal update would have relocked the bootloader and forced a factory reset. After having to basically start from scratch for two updates (B365 and B366) and restoring a ton of app backups - and on two phones, so it was actually four times - I did not update until B376 came out and I stumbled across HuRUpdater and, like I said, did the update to B376 and then B377 on both phones in very short order.

That's what I thought about HuRUpdater warrning about the booloader lock. Was wondering if they tried it with the OTA-MF (which the phone downloads by default) vs the FullOTA-MF. Regarding Firmware Finder, I've seen when there are more than the two updates (OTA-MF and FullOTA-MF) available for one new firmware revision. I would presume the FF files are OK, but I don't mind waiting the few extra days for Huawei to make the update official.

Thanks again for your support on these forums and great community!
