Thank you so much for the reply. I was using a pen knif e after that and scratched the frame a bit.

I found this video which i think may be helpful: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fNh0Oq7kH8w&t=910s

For my model which is CMR-AL19, I didnt find any photos of a opened device.

I also found a board software for my device, but i cant test yet because it is still not opened. Actually, i intended to erase frp using testpoint I wanted to check what is the firmware version so i went to erecovery, choose update firmware and recovery using wifi and then shut it down at 0%. Then it was bricked

For the Huawei Finder, i tried to find firmwares and used dload method but it said "software installation failed". I think the firmware wasnt compatible.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] sunnatter:
I found this
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] karlkluwe001:
yes video for opening looks good even so i wouldnt use any spray/oil - not needed

start cutting where i draw the green line[IMG="opening cable danger points"]https://i.postimg.cc/4x8vnRCr/where-to-start.jpg[/IMG]

search board software fot your specific model - read the white text on the inside printed on tablet frame - i guessed yours is the cmr-al09(verify this!!!! have the most exact model "board software" - not standard firmware

quick duckduckgo pointed to this one

https://gsmfirms.com/product/huawei-cmr-al09-board-software-file/ - 2Dollar only, but maybe you find free ones on androidhost.ru(search for madiapad m5 pro or so (madiapad not mediapa - russian special )

then testpoint and follow the guidelines on First page here

be patient if it does not work on first try - its u against huawei security team:silly:

eventually you end up having an Android 10(look: treble gsi phussen- https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list) with root

ask again if anything doesn't work - i'll try to help

ahh one more tipp - keep in mind you only have to press the testpoint to enter testpoint mode - not all the time - my best practice is to un-isolate a small copper cable and gently press it on the board to a metal point - cad you can press/touch the neighbor point as well no problem
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] sunnatter:
Yeah, thank you for the tip. I also successfully opened it yesterday. Once i can push the plastic around 5mm inside it s good to go. The thing is when you got 1 piece of plastic in like 1mm, move it to the bottom left corner. Next, insert another one in and also move to the corner. Once you got 3 pieces in a corner. The gap should be big enough to go deeper. Then heat the sides up using hair dryer and continue the process. I used a hair dryer to heat up the glue between the glass and the frame, which makes it easier to cut. I also successfully downgraded alr, cos i found a free one several days ago, which is amazing!!! But it cant boot to os yet. However, the recovery works just fine. I used wine to do some stuff with the IDT tool in the board software as well. Im gonna erase frp and unlock bootloader now.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] sunnatter:
Opps! It should be top left corner.

I can't do the factory reset as well. Is it because my nvme is screwed up?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] sunnatter:
Now the problem is that i cant update using dload or OTA. It said software install failed with the dload and cant connect to server witth OTA. I tried both fastboot erase frp and fastboot flash frp frp.img but not worked. The google frp is pretty annoying
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] karlkluwe001:
yes . even so my tablet came with an open frp(fresh reseted when i got it) it showed a locked frp during idt toll - board software flash.

i somehow lost my cdma(serial number, imei-stuff) in one of the flashing attemps - so finding my unlock code with dc-unlocker give me "mobile needs repair" or something, im now on android 8 but i got the "FAILED (remote: image verification error)" for fastboot flash cust custom.img and xloader (even in testpoint fastboot)

trying to flash phhusson android 10 with fastboot

what does your fastboot screen look like when u testpoint and idt-tool boot fastboot?

mine says

phone unlocked
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] sunnatter:
My bootloader and frp are still locked but i can flash twrp using testpoint. I also backed up my oem and nvme alr. So you mean i can flash gsi on this even when my bootloader is locked?

For the idt tool, i dont know how to make it detect my tablet yet because when i use windows, it only showed USB SER, i tried to manually installed driver but it didnt work as well. Can i use the idt tool on linux with wine and how to make the tool detect the tablet as huawei com 1.0?

---------- Post added at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ----------

For the fastboot screen, i usually unplug the screen cable so im not sure how it's like. But i couldnt use some commands using testpoint because it showed "waiting for any device"
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] karlkluwe001:
I think the process is similiar to the m5 lite and you need to flash "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt" via twrp - i tried to flash phhhussen android 10 from tespoint fastbnoot(temporal no bootlock) and i got i bootloop with android 10 loading screen, same for linage os 17.

https://xdaforums.com/mediapad-m5-lite/development/aosp-10-quack-treble-official-rom-t4037391

and flashing zip files via twrp failed because the bootloader is locked,

but i will try to flash the modem_sec files from boardstoftware to possibly repair /reset my imeid will try that on weekend, i u got the 20bucks the hcu tool from dc-unlocker will write and change that via a "cdma-repair" option but i will try to solve this via fastboot/board software this weekend(hopefully)

hm i do all the idt stuff on ubuntu , i didn't got past the USB SER driver problem on windows - but why? i got a stable fastboot on ubuntu which i could"carry"(battery plugged) over to windows working on fastboot there. but i do all the stuff in linux/ubuntu. I think fastboot is fastboot regardless which os is underneath.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] sunnatter:
Yeah, same. I use both linux and windows cos sometime i need it for work. Before i tried mrt tool with the USB SER but it didn't work. I thought i need the driver before i can use it. So you also used idt with wine on linux( cos it's exe right). The thing i concern is whether idt could detect the table via wine or not?

For twrp, i found that the data partition isnt encrypted, only the cust partition cannot mounted. I tried to unlock the bootloader by editing nvme but didnt work, i think mine is alr after june 2018 security patch. I will try dm verity disable+magisk.

And is there any way to erase the frp block using fastboot?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] sunnatter:
A quick update. I know how to unlock frp alr but only if i can boot up the tablet normally. The problem is that it cant do a factory resert for some reasons. I have tried flashing newer firmware using Firmware Finder, ota and dload but none of them work. And for the fastboot, it showed phone unlocked when i used test point as you have mentioned above.

Mediapad t2 BGO-DL09

Hello guys!

I am trying to unbrick this device but no success for now, no dload, no fastboot, no recovery, not recognized by PC, just image "your device failed to pass verification and can't be trusted" and no reaction on any buttons.

Does anybody know how to unbrick it?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] karlkluwe001:
did u try to testpoint and load fastboot in ram from boardsoftware?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Maxnrg:
Hello, thank you for your answer.

No, i did not. I do not find the information related this methods on this model.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] karlkluwe001:
did u read the first page of this thread?

u need to search for fotos of your devices testpoint on the device motherboard
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Maxnrg:
There is no information for BGO-DL09.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] karlkluwe001:
u need to search via google for mediapad t1 and testpoint or BGO-DL09 and testpoint

or just open the device and look for similar spot u found on other testpoint images (the closer the model to your BGO-DL09 the better)
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Maxnrg:
Did you tried that or this just a joke? Those devices has different hardware.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] karlkluwe001:
na, no joke

while searching for my mediapad m5 i came along a lot of huawei testpoint pictures and there seems to be a kind of pattern where there are depending on the release date of the devices

so if u find a testpoint picture of a mediapad t2 and you open your device the chances that your point isnt complete somewhere else is quit good

and you only have to connect ot to your board -shortcut if u shortcut the wrong one it doesnt destroy your device

the only other choice is to buy expensive dongles - or a new device at all
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Maxnrg:
Man, i tried that many times googled 1000 times but no result. All i need now is to find testpoint BGO-DL09 as i figure out? There are no any possible methods instead of it?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] ivanox1972:
Is it possible to downgrade it on oldest sw with box just, without whole process from post1?

Just find oldest bootloader unlockable sw and flash from box

I did not have additional hardware if you mean that.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] ivanox1972:
Thanks for ultra fast answers.

I understand you haven't. But it is easier? Just find first ever fw and flash with box? Would it work

hello, does anyone have any help about enter in fastbootd mode?

because i've followed the procedure about booting in special fastboot mode using test point and board firmware , and it works so when i've wrote fastboot devices , it show to me my device.

but when i've tryed to enter in fastbootd : fastboot reboot fastboot it showed "waiting for any device"

thanks for any advices
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] matti_1967:
does this metod be apply even if your phone has bootloader locked?

i have a huawei p30 lite and i can succesfully load fastboot following your test point method, but i can not flash any images maybe because i have bootloader locked?

thanks, in advance

I've been dealing with it since almost morning, my P10 Plus is bricked because I installed very old Oreo software. I am trying to connect usb with virtual machine, but virtual machine does not see the phone. In return, I installed ubuntu on my computer, the 3 images you mentioned were installed on my phone without any problems. But I couldn't run adb commands in ubuntu, I don't know what to do
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] matti_1967:
Hello, if you've followed this guide you should have fastboot command enable, have you tried to send "fastboot devices" from cmd? did this cmd return the code of your phone?

what i mean is that you doesn't need adb commad but just fastboot
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] tunasahinn:
Ubuntu says E: Command not found fastboot
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] tunasahinn:
Now ok but i have another problem, when I enter the command fastboot devices, the device does not appear, but hikey idt successfully wrote the images, I don't know what's wrong
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] matti_1967:
hello it sound like hikey idt is not conform to your cpu, in my case for example (my phone is huawei p30 lite) i have a kirin 710 cpu not the same as 960 or 970 that are in the thread.

Anyway I've read that kirin 710 is similar as 960 and in effects i've succesfully entered in special fastboot mode so the cmd "fastboot devices" return the code of my huawei.

check if your cpu architecture is conform or similiar to kirin960-970
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] matti_1967:
Another thing that i can say is that it could be worth to repeat the procedure to have test point grounded and also to try to change the images that should be loaded into ram.

Because even in my board firmware there were same images into different folders so you can try to change the images that you have to load in ram
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] blankacs:
I hurt my phone a lot. It was a Huawei Mate 20 Lite Kirin710, I wanted to change region in C432 directly from EU free firmware and it didn't work. "Recovered" with DC Phoenix but since it did not go into "upgrade mode" I flashed board software 1.0.0.27 SNE-L21 SydneyM and then UPDATE.APP file of firmware 8.2.0.131 C432. The phone has recovered but it's another. PC detects it as a TV named FAY, Android 7, 3GB RAM / 32GB memory. I tried reflash SNE-LX1 firmware and it doesn't work anymore. EMUI turns on but does not update, a strange fastboot mode but nothing flashes. Now I am trying to flash the three files with hikey_idt but it is stopped on ./set_fastboot.img --- download address .. consulting the .xml file, UCE corresponds to the “sec_usb_xloader2.img”. Should I enter that? thanks to all

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to revive my M5 10" I've tried both this script method and PotatoNV without any luck. Both appear to upload the files (I'm using the PotatoNV Kirin960 files with this method as well) but after they finish uploading and the table reboots I get either:

1) PotatoNV gives a timeout error and Window complains about the USB device being unrecognised/unable to start

2) Ubuntu shows nothing in /dev and fastboot see nothing either

Anyone had any luck recovering something this borked?

My device is M5 "B" version (CMR-W09B written on a sticker inside).

It has a blank screen and USB SER detected without shorting a testpoint.

I downloaded board software "Cameron-W09B-BD 1.0.0.19_Board Software_8.0.0_r1_EMUI8.0_05022JDV", used the 3 files in update_nv_bootloader_block folder, all was written ok, but no USB device is detected so I cannot see any fastboot devices, . I tried all combination of 3 files from different folders without luck (they either do not load or the fastboot devices is empty).

Should I pay for other version of the board software ? Or what could be the problem?

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Oberth:
Thanks for those uploads. 🙂

Having a quick play I get some odd/interesting results. Flashing one set of the ufe/xloader/fastboot files makes the tablet reset halfway through the flash, so something is happening other than either ignoring the flash or rebooting with device descriptor errors. I'll keep looking around for a copy of the later board softwares, I can find them on a couple of sites but they are behind paywalls/registrations and I can't get far enough in to register or pay for download credits.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Punkisn:
Hey guys,

I just came back from my local shop where I was playing for a couple of minutes with the P30 Pro.

Excellent device, with its falls too - at least for me.

I found the display resolution to be not as what I was expecting or used to in the 2019. To be honest, I could easily see the pixels in the screen, something that I didn't notice on S10+. Of course, the ppi are different, but the differnce is almost a deal breaker for me, but I can't digest that the texts were not as sharp/crisp I was expecting for a 1000 Euros device.

Also, I compared the display with the P30, with the P30 to be the clear winner between this and the Pro.

Am I losing something? Like probably a device setting that caused this "pixelated" display?

Or is it just me?

I am having difficulties valuing this phone at 1000 with that display... :confused:

Thank you
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] HellStorm666:
There is an option to "smartly" reduce the resolution of the screen to safe power.

I think that this was enabled, as it is by default, and that the phone was running on the lower resolution.

I have no problems with the screen resolution (P30 Pro).

Compared with my Oneplus 6t.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Punkisn:
Thank you for your answer. Is there any chance to check your screen resolution on settings and let me know which resolution was default when you received the phone?
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] HellStorm666:
Sure.

1560x720 as low and 2340x1080 as high.

Phone will switch between it automatically, by default.

You can select either of them as fixed value.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Punkisn:
Thanks again. I will visit my local shop tomorrow (hopefully) to check this setting because I forgot to do it today. To be honest I was super surprised of what I saw in terms of display, in a bad way.

I will update this thread as soon as possible.

hey ho

so i have been reading several guides here and i recently posted in some of the threads but i think maybe it'll be clearer for you if i go through the steps i've taken. My goal is a non MIUI - rom without all the garbage, plus i want the option of expanded display or whatever it's called to hide the statusbar and i also want a rom with built in dark theme for the menus (settings for example)

what i did

redid EVERTYING, from scratch, I.E. (TWRP was erased)Downloaded: nitrogen_global_images_V10.0.1.0.OEDMIFH_20181012.0000.00_8.1_global_159a03b105

i then flashed it with MiFlashSetup.msi (previously before this whole entire debacle i had miui_MIMAX3Global_V10.2.1.0.PEDMIXM_a9972483fb_9.0.zip)

i installed TWRP with TOOL_ALL_IN_ONE_1.0.9.4-NO-INSTALLER

i booted into TWRP

Chose to flash DotOS-v3.0-arm64_aonly-vanilla-20190310.img and it then proceeded to ask what partition to flash, i chose system.

i then tried installing open_gapps-arm64-9.0-pico-20190327.zip and it said something about insufficient space and or / failed to mount partitions so i mounted vendor and system partitions and tried again, didn't help. so i just rebooted and it is now in the boot animation for DotOS and just.... spinning it's wheels so to speak...

p.s. before i did step 1 as extreme as that was when i tried going into twrp it asked me to decrypt using a password, the password should be the one i chose at setup, in my case i chose PIN and that password was never accepted as the correct password in TWRP so i could never show the system partition, it was listed as 0mb.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Germano1980:
To avoid this gapless error when installing gapps, first boot the GSI that you have installed, then go back to twrp and install the gapps. In my opinion, xiaomi.eu roms are better as a basis for GSI's, even because I've never been able to start a GSI using an official xiaomi rom.

The main thing is that your data partition is encrypted and you will need to format the data partition.

This may help you - https://xdaforums.com/mi-max-3/how-to/b-guide-to-fake-rom-unlocked-bootloader-t3846891 (where appears china rom, china dev ... can be replaced by global rom - this process has to be done before installing the GSI of your choice and take care of the ARB.).
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] premier69:
what do the acronyms GSI and ARB stand for?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Germano1980:
GSI - generic system image (in this case, the rom you download in .img format for installation via twrp - for example, DotOS)

ARB - anti roll back - which is a mechanism to prevent the version rollback of Android.

Always read the topics carefully and follow the step by step without changing anything, not to generate problems.
