Why, don't you want to meet horny girls from your area? If not, you're probably the only person I know who doesn't.

Is it really that simple to root the P20 Pro? Just install a modified bootimage and magisk?

Why??

Because I could if I wanted to get a woman whenever I wanted, as it turns out I'm married so no need..

As for adverts, they're cancer and should be a choice.

I doubt my wife would agree maybe you'll feel the same when you have one yourself...

As for ads, I hate ads, like I said. They're a cancer and they're getting worse.

If someone uploads something to a site which has ads like that on it instead of mega or Dropbox? Sorry but there's no excuse for it.

Shocking behaviour.

Malware, adware, ransomware, spyware.

This is how idiots lose their bank details..

Hi.

I can't see the option "patch only the boot.img" option, any way to get that?

I use the "select and patch a file" option, selecting the recovery ramdisk uploaded here and flashing the magisk_patched that it's return. After that I reboot and unplug pressing up key but it's boot into recovery and nothing happens. I reboot from recovery but that's non rooted.

Any help for that? Thanks in advance

Same scenario here, i'm no expert but i'm thinking it might be an issue with a newer version of android pie. I'm on 9.0.0286, how about you?

Command not allowed

Hi All

Tried this guide, which looks similar to others guides around.

I have been into developer options and activated OEM unlock.

When I reboot to bootloader, it's written with red "FRP unlock" I assume this is because I can modify the bootloader.

When i start the show with ADB i get following:

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>fastboot fla

mg

target reported max download size of 471859200 byt

sending 'recovery_ramdisk' (23542 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.537s]

writing 'recovery_ramdisk'...

FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

finished. total time: 0.546s

Why is that? I know in the past a code had to be used to unlock the bootloader, but i thought that was kind of outdated.

Hope someone can help me out here.

Best regards

JC
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
On your bootloader screen both should say unlocked.

If not then you'll have trouble flashing unofficial things.. specifically root / twrp.

Certain firmwares will relock your bootloader as I found out myself.

Misplaced my code so I'm stuck, cool as I'm selling it but definitely something to bare in mind.

FRP fyi is the OEM unlocking switch in development options.

The other is your bootloader which is above it I believe
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] abyssq:
I have to press volume up every reboot. If I don't press volume up, then I don't have root. :rolleyes:

How to Emui 9.1 root? Method not work.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] tavikki:
Bootloader

Hi.

How do you make sure of this?

FIRST MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE HAS UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER

I thought bootloader code was no longer avalable

I have version 9.1.0 and want to test rooting my phone
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Nibb31:
You can no longer unlock the bootloader on any Huawei phones.

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] logX31:
Hi the "COPY AND PASTE THIS LINK" is down, where can i find a working one please? :D
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
What you need to do is find a Delorean and Marty McFly, then type in 12.08.1985 ( lol only joking, 2018) and then get your bootloader from Huawei..

Or if you don't want to do that, I would recommend selling that barely acceptable device for £200-£240 and buying anything worth using.

Because EMUI for everything it tries to be is a massive piece of bull ****

They've always been an awful company and they'll continue to do so thinking its great.

Personally I can't wait to watch them fail, XDA users turning their back on you has been a recipe for disaster for any company who have tried to go solo and "apple like"

HTC was the first, look how that ended.

Sell your phone while you still can, buy a OnePlus 8. Job done.

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] thema2000:
hi guys, i'm new here and i am looking for a youtube guide for days and here in the forum to follow the root of my p20pro, but every time i fail .. i tried to download the files from youtube guide linked to this topic, but the links don't work. can you help me please?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
You can't have read all the guides otherwise you'd have seen that you cannot root a Huawei device anymore, as you cannot unlock the bootloader.

If you do somehow have an unlocked bootloader then you can simply boot/flash a patched boot image with fastboot and then install directly using magisk..

But if you haven't already got your bootloader unlocked then it is impossible.

Hello,

I do have here a problem on WM6. Every time to time my device connects to the internet (GPRS) and stays connected.

I have installed the nodata application, ans disabled the GPRS connection. It works ok, but the device becomes very slow to respond the commands after a while. Some application is trying to connect to the net. Connmgr.exe process is getting almost 100% cpu usage.

I have disabled every automatic update, activesync and son on but the problem remains.

How can I find which app is trying to connect?

Regards

Cabiri
[Networking] rajib:
my 2 cents

connect via your activesync/device manager, and get online via your desktop internet connection. now with netstat -b or any packet capture tool, try to find out where it is connecting. you will get an idea about the prog from remote address. like if it connects to msn.com, it'll be live messenger.. something like this.

you can also use a advanced task manager on the phone to check which applications are running in the background.

hope that helps
[Networking] cabiri:
Thans, I will try both soluctions.

Cabiri
[Networking] antihrist:
same problem here. this is happening to me just last few weeks. i can't remember if i was messing with some options in any program, but even if i did i was just turning off automatic connections since i don't like them. i also tried to uninstall my latest software, but that didn't help.it is possible that it is some kind of malware, but kaspersky antivirus did not find any problems. i hope that someone will find solution for this becouse it is very annoying.

p.s.

if this causes significant data transfer you can go to Settings/Connections/Connections -> Advanced tab -> Select Networks, and change settings to "My Work Network"
[Networking] chito:
if you have a weather update, this maybe the one triggering your mobile to connect to the Internet. just turn the Automatic Update off
[Networking] antihrist:
no, it's not any weather plugin since i removed them long time ago. and when i used them automatic update was turned off. however, if weather plugin try to auto update and if it fails, then you get an error message. this one looks just like it continuosly try to connect and it uses almost all CPU until it gets connected. whatever this application is it looks hostile and i don't like it. the war is on!

thanks for help anyway
[Networking] cabiri:
Hi,

I even disabled the HTC today plugin... and it remains doing the same.

Until now I had no chance to track the traffic, I will try on the next days.
[Networking] antihrist:
finally i found the solution for my problem. seems like windows live messenger is causing all my problems. i found that phone is trying to connect to internet only after using wlm. usually after i'm finished using wlm i just terminate the program. and this is the problem. i should first sign out, and then terminate wlm. after this everything works just fine. so be sure to sign out before terminating wlm. i'm sure that this is the problem because i've tested my theory few times and i guess that this is it.

i hope this helps to you. if it does please report here
[Networking] LCyberFox:
Yeah I have the same issue, i believe it's been on several version of Windows live messenger, actually, it's even on the version I have of WM6.1 (I have an Elfin with the blue elves rom from xda which has wm6.1)

it's quite sad that msft hasn't fixed this yet, it henders the phone completely useless and seems like it should be something easy to fix, stupid WLM should just not retry so brutely

anyways, actually if you change WLM to "manual" instead of "as items arrive" that does the trick too, but then now your push mail is gone ;( lame!

I have been testing some ports, and now, with Android PIE the best for me is:

Gcam-6.1-minimal-test.apk (Tolyan009, 2019-01-29, android 9+, changelog)

In advance options (or similar, i have the mobile in spanish) u should disable portrait zoom, and active enchanced HDR. I use the "normal" GCam mode in large range photos, and it´s focused, when the camera cant focus i use the portrait mode (wihout de artificial zoom) and the tap focus is working aceptably. Night mode "works", not as it should, sometimes it´s in focus, sometimes not. :) I think i probed about the last 15 or 20 ports of GCam and been trying to change BSG configurations but i don´t find a better results than this "minimal" port.

(any betatesters reading here? maybe xiaomi will have a reason to ignore this issue because first root is needed to enable camera2api before but this focus issue becomes really irritating as 3 OTA's arrived after PIE)

This looks good enough. Front camera isn’t working with HDR+ though… kept 7 frames for hdr+ as I don’t see much difference going more than this. Enabled pixel 3 AWB as it seems to give a better white balance. Using H265 as it seems to work properly. Any way to change bitrate in videos?

Do you also get better results in details shooting with night mode even in bright light?

So phone worked fine running AOSiP current Pie then out of nowhere when I would reboot I'd randomly get a blank screen. Adb and fastboot commands still worked and eventually, after a few attempts it'd boot normally. Then the other day, after running great, I picked it up and was froze at the lock screen. Now every time the screen times out it freezes at the lock screen and can only be unlocked after a reboot, if I don't get the blank screen that is, and only right after booting but if the screen times out at all it freezes. Also, mic quit working for Google Assistant and voice to text in Messenger. Once unlocked everything works great, except the mic issue no freezes or glitches. I've flashed back to stock all the way back to the last Oreo updates and even ran with no restored apps or data and these problems exist each and every time. Any ideas?
