The McLaren 6T, which is the most bizarre marketing push in history? Why would you want to have some sort of tie in with a company who is primarily known for failure over the last few years? But that is irrelevant - at the end of the day, rooting is a niche activity. Sure, some people make use of it, but most of the users really don't care that much.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
The design of the phone is superb.

Warp charge is amazing.

I like the orange it's brilliant.

Mclaren make the best cars in the world in my opinion and many others.

It's half the price of a competing phone, ie: S10 / Phone XS

At this point in time it is the best phone there is, for development, for speed, for charging, for design, for many things.

Not to mention 10GB of RAM.

Comparing the Pro or the Mate to any Oneplus phone is futile, owners of either phone are going to give delusional comments about the opposite phone.

Personally as a user of XDA and a long time ROM flasher since the G1 days, i honestly couldn't have a phone without root and without removing the shackles which essentially turns it into a cheap iPhone clone.

That's my opinion, which the OP had asked for.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonathan-H:
I disagree with all of this. You must have a faulty mate device.

The face unlock and fingerprint unlock on mine work 100% of the time, without fail. You have to enrol them properly and with the fingerprint, press hard on the screen.

As for photos, mine takes the shot immediately with every click, zero shutter lag, every single time UNLESS its night and you have AI on as it likes to sharpen the photo after you take it. Mostly this is just processing. Press the shutter 3 4 5 times and every photo, once processed, is available blur free.

I see notifications, all you have to do is make the battery percentage inside the icon, and turn off the network name. It's not hard to work this stuff out if you know anything about phones.

As for the P20 pro... it's slow, laggy, takes worse photos, screen wakes super slowly in sun due to some auto brightness issue, battery life is sub par, it doesn't fill the screen properly in apps like instagram.. less water resistant. Only thing the P20 pro does better is the speakers. No 4k stabilisation, awful video quality overall. Terrible graphics chip.

Mate 20 Pro all the way. Even with nonsense misinformation spread around.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] darklajid:
First, (fan)boy are you triggered much..

Second, my experience stands and foam around your mouth doesn't change that. It's also a subjective thing, so "correcting" my recommendation is silly. The OP wants opinions, mine isn't worse than yours.

Third, I know a thing or two about phones. Nice slight, nice try.

Fourth.. see attachment. There's space for exactly one icon, whether you like it or not, "expert" phone tips not relevant.

I recommend the P20P.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] vodovodo:
P20 pro takes worse photos my A$$!!

The monochrome sensor still superior when it comes to photos specially in the dark environment and details in general, even the paid YouTube reviewers to braise the wide angel lense can't deny that

as for video recording both are considered the worst with the rest of Kirin powered phones. but the mate 20 pro can take stabilized bad videos in 4k.

Day to day use application both are fast specially the mate 20 with zero to small difference in speed, but games both struggle specially in future fight and PUBG.

P20 pro battery is actually lasting longer than mate 20 pro unless u switch the face recognition and in display fingerprint off, then they are similar so what's the point of them?

No gluegate stupid issue with p20 pro and half the price.

I actually had p20 pro, sold for a note 9 last August got the mate 20 pro as a second phone then back to p20 pro which I consider upgrade from the mate 20
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] miffymiffy:
As much as I love this phone, I hate it just as much. Do yourself a favour and get something with a Snapdragon processor and something that can be bootloader unlocked. Pixel or a One Plus. Even consider the Xiaomi if it's price you're after.

Warp charge gets smoked by Huawei's 40W Supercharge:https://www.gsmarena.com/warp_charge_30_vs_other_fast_charging_standards_-news-34697.php

https://youtu.be/UxlWYzrZweM

Sorry but the Kirin 980 is much faster than Krin 970. I came from Mate 10 to Mate 20 Pro and I can tell the difference.

I highly doubt this. Using the Mate 20 Pro as the same resolution with the P20 Pro's FHD+ will definitely result into better battery life in favor of the Mate 20 Pro.

Fyi, not all units are affected so please do not generalize. Half the price where is that mate? In my area there is a USD 200 price difference and even 2nd hand units of the P20 Pro won't be half the value of the Mate 20 Pro.

Sorry mate but that is a downgrade to the max. Slower processor, lower resolution, slower charging, etc. Don't get me wrong, the P20 Pro is a great device but its about 8 months old in the market already. No need to disrespect and bash Mate 20 Pro users if you don't like it please. Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Yea I'm not buying that.

The McLaren is a beast of a device. Comparing it to any phone, not just a Huawei.

More to the point.

Why on earth would anyone support that regime??

They have absolutely gone against android in every way, not only that but every single developer will avoid them like the plague.

You want to buy into that?? Be my guest, you'll be one of few.

Enjoy ads, bloat, no ROMs, no mods, no bootloader unlocking, no root, no magisk mods, no AOSP, no kernels.

The pro has some but once pie becomes mainstream, root and twrp are out.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ccl2003:
To each his own mate. Fact: Not all smartphone users care about ROMs, mods, root, kernels and unlocked bootloaders.

But less and less are. Plus the OEMs are making it harder.

First: Thanks for this really nice and comprehensive thread!

I have an important addition to point:

Install Button will only appear if the phone has internet connection (Wifi or Mobile Data)

with this I can patch the boot image successfully

But unfortunately I can not run the "sdm660_fastboot_upgrade.sh.bat" it does not recognize my device.

When checking the commands in the batch I found that my device is acting really strange, sometimes giving different errors for the same command like:

C:\Android\X2proRoot\1.7.1_WithRoot>fastboot set_active _a
error: Device does not support slots.

C:\Android\X2proRoot\1.7.1_WithRoot>fastboot set_active _a

C:\Android\X2proRoot\1.7.1_WithRoot>fastboot set_active _a

also strange:

Probably some windows crap not working or an incompatibility of the installed platform tools / drivers and the ones from BQ...
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] luk.giak:
Thanks. I was not aware of this. And now I can't check this on my device because I started using GPay and I prefer to stay with no root and locked bootloader.

Maybe I will play again with the bootloader when TWRP for this device will be released. If it will ;)
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] raudidroid:
got it running!

Probably it was just that. I Installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS in a Vmware machine and followed the tutorial (important note here: do everything in a Terminal running under root).

Short moments of panic due to boot-loop included (I flashed a defective boot image [vmware drag and drop files obviously did not copy the whole file] )

for everybody who ends in a bootloop: just keep calm, switch off phone (>10s press power button) an very quickly when it is of press power and volume down to get into flashmode again (I had to try several times)
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] luk.giak:
Hey [MENTION=1738396]raudidroid[/MENTION], when I answered to you the first time I did not read all the message or you edited it later. Only now I'm reading the issues you faced.

On Windows, what shell did you use? PowerShell?

I'm not sure about this because I banned Windows from my personal and working life several years ago, however, recently I read some posts of people having issues with PowerShell. If this is also your case next time try to use classic cmd.

Regarding this the above quote, I'm quite sure that you do not need to be super user to apply any of the procedure listed in the guide.

Since your are suggesting "... very quickly when it is of press power and volume down ... " I can imagine that you did this procedure while your phone was connected to the laptop/PC with the USB cable. In this condition, when you force the shutdown by pressing power for 10s, the phone reboots automatically. So my suggestion is to unplug it first, in this way the phone turn off without rebooting and you can comfortably enter in the bootloader with no hurry.
[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] raudidroid:
I was using CMD / Command Prompt on win10, but maybe I have to many ADBs/Drivers/... installed. got a really weird behavior...

without root it wouldn't work, i got "no permissions (user in plugdev group; are your udev rules wrong?)"

with root everything ran smoothly

Oh! Yep, that sounds like it would have been the better way to do it ;)

Thanks for your post and your answers.

BTW: half-OT do you know any way to get netflix running after the rooting?

[BQ Aquaris X Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] krillin666:
Hello, maybe someone can be of help to my situation.

I had my phone rooted in the last firmware version (1.7.3), and I was getting notifications to update to Android 9 pie for some time, however I was waiting to have some time to spare and first backup my files and do a factory update to pie and then root.

However, last nigh without warning my phone just rebooted and updated to pie, (firmware ver 2.0.2) and I lost root obviously. However, all my files, apps, etc were intact.

So today I decided to root my phone again. I download the firmware zip from BQ's site and then used Magisk (ver. 19.2) to patch the boot.img.

I rebooted to fastboot and did "sudo fastboot flash magisk_patched.img", and rebooted but the phone got stuck in the logo screen.

Then I used method 5 of this tutorial and ran ./sdm660_fastboot_upgrade.sh (with the mentioned modifications), however it bootlooped again. Then I flashed the original boot img and my phone booted just fine again, I tried to patch the img again, did again step 4 and it bootlooped again.

Any clues on how to successfully root ? Never had any problems updating and rooting from firmware 1.4.0 to 1.7.3.

Thank you for your time
