1. On Chinese versions, GooglePay works well with MasterCard does not work with VIZA

2. All Google applications are installed and run on Chinese versions without Root.

3. On Chinese versions, the call recording from the line is in stock. It does not work on the global version.

Did they give you your code?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Youtube_Ll0r3nt3:
No ... I asked him for what time and what late and what not. 1 day and 3 ... when I would like to buy, I do not have a form of payment, it is said and has added paper on the web, apparently have problems with paypal
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] n1tro:
Seems like PayPal probably froze their account. When I reordered, it says a credit card link will be sent afterwards. PayPal are bigger scammers than actual scamming sites. They do whatever they want to your account with no rules or regulation or explanation. I would avoid using them given the chance or if you have to, don't let them convert your payment for you but instead let your credit card do it. For example, the cost here is $22USD, instead of letting PayPal convert/rip me off at 0.71 exchange rate, I chose to be charged exactly $22USD and let me credit card company convert it and charge me. It may come out to the same as PayPal but at lease I know they didn't make any money off me.

Edit: Got their email to pay. It is now going through some company called Paddle. Allows option to pay directly from your credit card or Paypal.

What have you tried doing to get into fastboot?

Also, i think they're ok too. I ordered from them back in November and got my code in about two hours. Just sucks that now it's going on 2 days.

Not mine. Refunded, cant be bothered doing it again
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] abbas:
Solved my problem

Resolved the fastboot problem. In case anyone else run into the same trouble, just reboot while holding both volume up and down. You will boot into the recovery and you will be informed that your update failed to install. Just reboot the system as instructed and you will be able to boot into fastboot thereafter.

People need to keep in mind that given how frequent the China version is updated, you won't be able to take the updates unless you flash back to stock, take the update, and then reapply the root procedure.

this setting is in product/etc/prop/local.prop

change it there, and do wm density reset after reboot.

Hi!

1) Titanium Backup working?

2) Also, are you guys able to prevent the Assist app being reverted back to Huawei's voice app (even after setting Google Assistant as the default)?

3) Any reason (disregard extra cost) NOT to get the 8GB version?

Thank you so much
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] n1tro:
On my China phone with the root applied, titanium backup does work after a few tries but with warnings of not full root and busy box installed. Manually removing Huawei voice app for Google assistant in the guide works great. No point of 8gb version. Spend the extra money on expanded memory.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] OrionBG:
The number you see is just one of the stored ones in their online database. That database unfortunately is filled only with already used numbers from other users. I don't even know why they give you that number... After all the number is IMEI specific so unless it have been generated specifically for your device, it will not work.

You need to have your bootloader unlocked to use magisk

Just a silly question, but this Patched Recovery can be flashed by the Android Emulator Terminal from PlayStore ?

I was thinking to rename the Patched Recovery to Recovery.img and just flash it from Android Emulator Terminal.apk with the following command :

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

Will this work or i might get a brick ? I know some other fellows here manage to flash .img files on their Samsung Devices without fastboot ...

[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Abdul Oxford:
I didn't realise how much I depend on rooting my phone and installing custom ROMs to get it how I like. Being stuck with the Huawei eco system is a nightmare. Samsung are going in the opposite direction and making their kernels available from launch. Mate 20x is definitely not the best phone out there now. And in a month will be surpassed by many others. As a brand, I won't ever be buying Huawei again. Kirin chip sets are very difficult to get custom ROMs on, stick to Qualcomm ... Mate 20 X has a good spec sheet, but the camera is overrated, and the phone feels poor in everyday use if you can't set it up exactly how you want. I mean, why pay so much for a phone but be stuck with a bloody Huawei eco system?!

I've got the 8 GB, 256 GB model with the pen. Had it 2 months now. Gonna sell it within the next month and invest in an XDA friendly device. Only people who like Huawei devices are Funky Huawei as they are busy profiting.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
That's kinda though :D but i couldn't agree more with you buddy ! 100% true ! :p
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] amgreenhawk:
I know it's frustrating not able to unlock the bootloader yet. Yes, it is also disappointing to get stuck with EMUI.

But I feel, this is a very good phone, with good specs and very good performance with the latest CPU. It's smooth and has a nice screen. The screen is big and nice. It's a flagship from Huawei and feels so. And this phone ticks all the things I wanted - big battery > 4000+mAh, 3.5 earphone jack and IR.

I believe rooting is important too, but I am not going to allow this bootloader unlocking problem smear my experience of this phone. Yes, I too want to kick out all the ads in all the apps, and this is the main reason I usually root my phones.

But I can live with this. I wouldn't let this issue to reduce my enjoyment of using it. Besides, I can continue with official updates without worrying about 3rd party unofficial methods bricking anything.

Maybe someday someone may be able to find a way to unlock this bootloader without the dubious ripoffs like funky-hunky or some ripoff ministry, and share it here like how XDA had operated with a good conscience previously. Or maybe someday Huawei might re-open it's unlocking request again. Don't pay or support all these dubious rip-off "unlocking services".

Until then, for current Mate 20 X owners - don't despair. What we are having is a very good phone. We have other things in life to worry about than phone not being rooted. And don't waste money again by buying a new phone again now. After this phone becomes old enough for replacement, maybe then we can have a look at other phones later. Next time we will read about the unlockable status BEFORE buying a new phone.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] baskinrobbin:
That's a really good point. Part of the joy of purchasing a new phone is the experience of trying something different, otherwise it's just an upgrade of hardware. If someone wants that boring experience buy an iphone.

My last 3 devices were Root and now having these Huawei's without Root, it's kinda strange, but i get used with it, beside that ADB Removing is awesome...

Hope one day Huawei will give us again the codes to unleash the real power....
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] AllanRSS:
Is system root dead? I've been out of the game for a while and I can't find one person working on real root access for any phone. Its blowing my mind really. I don't care about netflix, nfc pay, or anything like that. I just want to use my phone like a computer is supposed to be used, with root access! I want to go into terminal and move all my files around. I want to be able to rm my whole system if I feel like it.

I am going to look into repackaging my boot image with root access, but I don't know anything about how android has changed in 8 and 9. Is there a good reason that people have given up on root?

---------- Post added at 02:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 AM ----------

Also, what is holdng us back from modifying the normal boot image to utilize magisk rather than using the recovery boot image? The fact that using magisk as my recovery image means I can't access twrp without connecting to a computer is kind of a no go for me. Maybe it will work if I use twrp as my main recovery and magisk as my erecovery, but I would really like a system root instead....
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] piskr:
One question for us who are new with Huawei root as missed the first chance to unlock bootloader. In Mate Pro guide is stated that you must boot into recovery every time when you want to reboot the phone, otherwise you lose root. Is it so with Mate 20x also? And if it is, can you use this app to make reboot more convenient: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78569733&postcount=2. Thank you.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] ben63vw:
I just installed the app referred to in the other thread and yes it works on my AL00 20X. Once it's installed and granted root then several reboot options are available to be placed in the Quick Settings when editing them. Then just select that icon from the notification and phone reboots with root without pressing Vol+ button.

However there is NeoPowerMenu Module for Xposed that can customize the power menu including having reboot recovery option directly in the power menu. I haven't tried this myself and after a quick search, it seems that getting Xposed installed and working on android 9.x isn't as easy as it used to be. I'd like to have this and will give it a try when I have time.
