====================================================================================================

SIDE EFFECTS OF ROOTING...!

+ Stock Phone app is not opening, force close.

+ Stock Google Message not receive or send any message, force close.

solution(:~) Backup your sms and contact first.

This solved messages issue :

adb shell

su

rm /data/user/0/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/*

rm /data/user/0/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/*

Go back to phone and wipe data of Phone and Messages

Go back to command prompt and:

reboot recovery

- Root explorer not mount system as R/W even granted root permission, so we can't copy, past or delete files in system partition - No solution till now, Due to EROFS (Extendable Read Only File System) working on it.

See my thread in this section. I've already tried this method several days before. Does not work. Seems like EMUI 9.1 is a lot different than EMUI 9.0

[MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] - Did you get rooted?

Just Tried Again,

Extracted the Ramdisk from 153 (C185) Update file using Update Extractor

Patched using Magisk 19.3 - Magisk Manager

Flashed in Fastboot after a Factory Reset, Flashing went fine. No Errors.

Phone boots fine in Normal Mode, setup done - booted to System (Root Not available)

Turned off - Boot in Recovery Combination - Goes into Bootloop. After 3 Bootloops, Phone boots to eRecovery for Restore.

EMUI 9.1 doesn't support the Magisk patch method used for EMUI 9.0.

Any other ideas guys?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] borgqueenx:
Fastboot works once the bootloader is unlocked? I thought it was locked or disabled.

---------- Post added at 12:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------

I can help experimenting since the recovery partition seems quite save. However, how do i make a backup of everything? All apps, their settings, icons on home screen etc?

Would this work? https://9to5google.com/2017/11/04/how-to-backup-restore-android-device-data-android-basics/

Hell everyone thanks for sharing your experience here. I want to clarify that I'm not a developer, what I have learnt from xda I shared here. I am a guy who wants to root his phone no more mods needed. These are the experience we have to share with each other. Will will find a way... I want to be rooted at any cost.

See my attachment, there is a hope. Magisk creator is trying hard for EMUI, every new build comes with EMUI bug fixes.

Thanks again for sharing rooting experience:good:

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] JazonX:
Nah, Bootloader was always accessible to me. There was no issue with it.

Try Uninstalling Hisuite and installing Google ADB. Hisuite installs a modified version called HDB which might mess up things sometimes.

For a complete backup without root, HiSuite is the only way.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] JazonX:
OK, Tried with 7.2.0 and it worked!

Root is working guys. Safety Net is Passed!

Flash update_full_base.zip (FULL OTA) firmware with EMUI Flasher v1.1

Hy guys,

Can someone with unlocked bootloader and root install EMUI Flasher and flash the update_full_base.zip (FULL OTA) on device and report if it's working? Below you'll find the MEGA mirror for latest firmware v.176 downloaded from Firmware Finder.

MEGA link for VOG-LGRP2-OVS 9.1.0.176 - MD5 checksum value 4dbe96c1b4fbc29aaa67cae2f3778517

LINK for [GUIDE] Manual updating/Firmware Collection/Rooting and EMUI Flasher ( thanks @OldDroid )

BEFORE proceding, make sure to patch RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img from v176 firmware while you are rooted on current firmware version.

REMEMBER that after succesfull firmware update you'll have to reflash the patched_boot.img to recovery_ramdisk (via fastboot) to regain root access.

Your userdata should stay intact - at least that was it back when i flashed on P20 Pro :D
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sug010:
Yeah mb

But now I'm rooted, and you can add cards but you can't confirm coz messages crash and you can't receive sms...
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Claudiusgallus:
But why your guide is referring to Mate 20 Pro?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] JazonX:
Whatever that has a small changelog like this

are beta firmware. Stay away from them.

I'd rather go for the 165
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] carbonize:
176 is not beta it's just the next build getting released but all that has changed is it includes June security patch as well as the camera improvements.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] JazonX:
If so, Lucky you. Yesterday I installed a 178 for P30 which was a beta.

Had the beta club app and wallpaper with lines. Had to flash again to get rid of it.

Try and let me know how it goes.

This method with EMUI 9 flasher works well by the way. I'm on 165 with June update now. No issues so far.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sug010:
Phone app and messages works fine?

Totally down for me after root...

What's the exact issue?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] JazonX:
Because that guide is valid, and the commands are accurate.

BTW, Anyone got RootExplorer to work?

Mine keeps showing that system memory is full.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sug010:
Messages app instant crash same for phone app

And network cellular down, I'll try later with a factory reset ( It's because of that I think)

A Big thanks to [MENTION=4960686]OldDroid[/MENTION]

Successfully updated firmware with " EMUI Flasher 1.1 " tool.

Side effects of Rooting...!

+ Stock Phone app is not opening but you can still receive calls-

Solution go to settings apps/apps/show system process/ clear cache and data of related phone and contact apps.

- Stock Google Message not receive or send any message. No solution till now, working on it.

- Root explorer not mount system as R/W even granted root permission, so we can't copy, past or delete files in system partition - No solution till now, working on it.

Hope we will get better solution to get rid out of this problem in near future.

9.1 uses EROFS iirc, and that's read-only at the moment there's no solution until magisk dev will do something magical. We have to raise our problem in magisk thread, hope someone help us.

hey guys, i'm up to root my p30 pro with magisk, but before i have these doubts:

- is there any chance to hard brick my device?

- are the most common magisk modules working?

- how do we update to the next emui versions after rooting? will OTA work? do we need to patch the ramdisk after every update?

thanks a lot.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] goldybewon:
Don't worry you are in the safe zone.:cowboy:

Yes common modules are working perfectly. And for update after ROOT you can easily update recent firmware with EMUI Flasher Tool 1.1. After root you will not get OTA update. For more information please read op.:good:

Hi, can someone tell me whether the root here is ONLY for the international edition of P30 Pro? Thx
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] JazonX:
In Theory, It should work for all variants.

There is no one-for-all working root for all variants, You extract your own ramdisk - and patch it using Magisk.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] fiorduconio:
Hi I've got some questions

First, how do I extract ramdisk from my device without root or Bootloader unlocked?

Second, are there any way I could root my device without unlocking the Bootloader?

Third, is there any way I can get my Bootloader code without paying for it?

I own a p30 lite but I don't think it matters, do it?

Thank you for your time :3
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] freakozoid:
1. Dont know

2. No

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] tonyaross:
Thank you. I now have a Huawei P9 and thinking about upgrading. I know that there are so many variants for P9, and many have to involve in rebranding to get the things you want. If the root here possibly works for all variants, that's good. Is there a link to extracting your own ramdisk? Thanks again

my p30 pro use magisk root,but it is not completely root,because i can't use taici magisk.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] goldybewon:
What is the exact problem have you been flashing after raici magisk? Did you read full post of taici magisk?

I did't use but share some information regarding.

Magisk mode

Non-root mode of TaiChi has some shortcomming even though it do not need to unlock bootloader, so i develop a magisk module, this module can give TaiChi extra power to overcome these shortcommings:

1. magisk mode can hook into system process.

2. magisk mode don’t need to modify the apk, and the signature keeps same.

When you flashed the Magisk Module provided by TaiChi, TaiChi app switch to magisk mode automaticly: TaiChi App + magisk module = TaiChi·Magisk. When the magisk module is disabled or removed, TaiChi app turn to non-root mode.

If you want to use magisk mode, please read the Wiki carefully. Click here for full post

Hope that will help you.

Thanks,

goldybewon

So is this root almost useless as we can't do typical things like hosts-file adblocking or increasing gain on headphone output?

reminds me of paying 25€ to S-OFF my HTC One M8 around 2014...
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] |||||:
So basically Chinas Control Mechanisms are sitting right in this phone and the best Phone on the Market isn't rootable...

And it's censored like the chinese republic or huawei... damn.

NO ROOT - NO FUN! AND NO USE!

I won't buy this Phone until root is avaiable.

I remember those times... Android 6, the Threads are full of nice modded ROMS.

These Days I see alot of empty "Modded ROM/KERNEL Threads"

Where are the XDA Elites?

Let's hope some genius is trying to crack the code.... and get this Thing rooted! :fingers-crossed:

ps: Good Job so far goldybewon, keep it up!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] carbonize:
Then don't buy the phone. Nobody is forcing you to.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nightraving:
Can somebody please explain to me why a BL Code is even needed to unlock the bootload

I have Enable OEM lock on. Shouldn't that be enough to be able to unlock the bootloader?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nightraving:
Also, I'm praying for a code cracker, BUT

The P30 Pro is without a doubt the best phone I have ever owned and that's even without root. It really is something guys.

I agree, it's totally ridiculous we are having to pay for BL codes. So much for the AOSP and the open source community. Everything is about capital these days. It's sad. But I digress.

As much as root EQ apps are good, I bought a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter with a built in DAC chip. It cost about £10 and it's some of the best money I've ever spend. It really makes my Grados SR80s shine and it drives them so well, 75% volume is more than enough. Basically, it's completely eliminated the need for something like Viper.

Also, what's S-OFF? A root method for HTC?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Goronok:
Paying for bootloader codes isn't Huawei's design, people selling the codes just know someone on the inside at Huawei. Honestly though, what do you have to gain by rooting a Huawei phone? Apps can be debloated by ADB, Magisk likely wouldn't work due to Kirin chipset, Huawei's themes are already half decent w/o substratum, ROMs would only bastardize camera performance... what am I missing?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nightraving:
Yes I know that, but obviously the people selling them could be less extortionate.

And I've just been playing around with the themes properly for the first time. There are so many great options. There really isn't any need for Substratum, you're right.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] EVEDork:
Adaway or other hosts-based ad blockers need root. The non-root versions utilize Android's VPN system, which means you can't use a VPN while you're using them.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nightraving:
Hmm, I just installed Blokada and there is an option to enable a VPN. ?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] P30pro:
So root is doable now?

Can anyone tell me if they can enable the camera2.api? Will only root if i can do so

I have seen a tool mentioned on other sites called DC-unlocker that supposedly can crack the bootloader and give you your unlock key as an alternative to buying it or nagging support for months (I am not stopping until I either get my unlock code or I am certain this failure of a purchase have cost them more in support staff than it cost me to buy the product, whatever comes first I guess)

Do anyone here have experience with it or is it better to just fork over the 30-50 bucks that some of these places charge for the code?

hi, is possible to relock BL? ty
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Instead of unlock, there is the same but relock Fastboot command.

Relocking triggers hard reset, just like unlocking.

Before relocking (its hard resetting), you must unroot and uninstall TWRP

These are/were always the rules for Huawei
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] taboz:
Do I need the unlock code? Because I have bought the phone used with bl unlocked and I haven't the unlock code. The phone is unrooted
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Yes, as said above, command is the same but instead "unlock", use "relock", so

fastboot oem relock <bootloader_code>

Guy who sold you the phone with already unlocked Bootloader should have given you the code.

It's one and the same BL code for your particular phone, independent of firmware, EMUI version, both for unlocking and relocking.

You can use the code as many times as you want
