vog-l29 9.1.0.193 (c431e4r2p2)
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] SilviuO:
OK, as it seems from your OP, you had EMUI 9.1 and then flashed EMUI 10, but with bootloop. You will need to download latest EMUI 10, enter eRecovery (as i will write you down) and flash the firmware.

It doesn't require a cable plugged in. ON EMUI 10 enter eRecovery by pressing POWER+VOLUME UP and keep them pressed untill you see Huawei on screen. Release the POWER button and keep pressing VOLUME UP untill you are in eRecovery menu, then release button. When in menu, select Update mode, then select Memory card/OTG update mode and it should start the update.

Firmware for your device:

Huawei P30 PRO VOG-L29 C431 v10.0.0.190

GDRIVE VOGUE-L29C 10.0.0.190(C431E19R2P5)_Firmware_EMUI10.0.0_05016DYH online

When i try volume up + power combo, the huawei logo appears and then nothing. No eRecovery.

When i try volume up + down + power the eRecovery appears, but with no OTG option. Only "Update and recover system" witch enables wifi.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] SilviuO:
You will have to do as i wrote to enter eRecovery on EMUI 10: press POWER+VOLUME UP and keep them pressed untill you see Huawei on screen. Release the POWER button and keep pressing VOLUME UP untill you are in eRecovery menu, then release button. When in menu, select Update mode, then select Memory card/OTG update mode and it should start the update.

I made a video of what happens when i try that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWuWhPeR91M
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] SilviuO:
???

That's very strange... When using the EMUI 9.1 method it works?Phone OFF, pressing Volume UP and connect the Power Cable?

Or by connecting the OTG, then simultaneously pressing POWER+VOLUME UP+VOLUME DOWN untill you see the white screen with EMUI recovery?
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] widbjörn:
This works, but no OTG option.

[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] SilviuO:
OK, when pressing Update and recover system, check for Download update and recover. Connect it to Wi-Fi and let it download.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] widbjörn:
I get "Get package info failed"
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] SilviuO:
:(. You will have to try again as i wrote to enter eRecovery on EMUI 10, it has to work eventually, because it's the only way to make it work again, beside send it to Huawei center. Users who were in you position (had EMUI 9.1 and flashed another cust firmware and got softbricked then flashed again a wrong version of EMUI 10), helped them by providing the right firmware (in your case the one i've shared few posts earlier), then entered eRecovery by the method i've mentioned and then succesfully revived their units (there are a lot of posts in this forum with gratefull users that followed my methods).

So, try again and again (with the OTG connected) to enter eRecovery and at some point, it should work.

Also, try doing a Factory Reset from the menu that appear when doing the 3 buttons method and then try again entering eRecovery, who knows?

press POWER+VOLUME UP and keep them pressed untill you see Huawei on screen. Release the POWER button and keep pressing VOLUME UP untill you are in eRecovery menu, then release button. When in menu, select Update mode, then select Memory card/OTG update mode and it should start the update.

Keep me posted ?
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] widbjörn:
Yeah, I'll keep trying. Thanks anyway for taking the time to help me out, much appreciated! Hopefully I can find a solution for this some day :good:
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] SilviuO:
The only free way of reviving your device is by somehow manage to enter eRecovery and using dload firmware (ONLY FOR EMUI 10, using dload firmware from EMUI 9.1 won't help, because your Recovery is from EMUI 10 and downgrade is only possible using Hisuite and a working phone) to revive it.

Other option is to send it to Huawei Service Center, telling them it got softbricked whille updating from EMUI 9.1 to EMUI 10. Maybe it's something else rather a software problem and something on the motherboard (it's strange that using VOLUME + doesn't give you eRecovery).

Let me know how you got it revived :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Mkami:
I recently purchased an tab S4 just an update from my previous Samsung tablet. I was wondering is there more ROMs for this tablet or ROMs currently in development? I noticed theres like 2 ROMs for this tablet. I have a note 8 and I'm currently running deluxerom on and it, and I really enjoy the tweaks and customization I'm able to do. I was looking for a same kind of feature for my tablet. Would greatly appreciate the answers I'm looking for. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] veekay:
Pretty much zero support. You can get a few 9.0 GSI ROMs to boot, but they all have issues. Mine has been sitting around since it was purchased while still using my old 2014 model.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Mkami:
Aww no way!? Really? I excitingly got this tablet cause of the features and thought perhaps there would be amazing ROMs for this particular tablet, but I guess not xD What are GSI ROMs? Also as a desperate attempt would other tablet ROMs work on this s4? Thanks mate!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] veekay:
I had thought the same thing, but it seems the S3 is the last tablet to get real support.

https://xdaforums.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development

Some of the ones for 9 will work, but most features won't work too well, if at all.

You might be able to get another rom to work, I know I had no luck. Even trying ones with similar hardware, they all failed to even flash since the booting numbers are different.

Kind of have to be satisfied with Samsung, half baked custom roms or sell the thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] daitalos:
First,download "Treble Check" app from playstore & read for your device...

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Mkami:
Hey Veekay I tried it and you're right unfortunately I came across the same issue as you brother :(

Now I'm stuck and I need help sorting my device out, was wondering if you knew this issue or could help?

When I got the stock firmware back and then when I flash TWRP with odin after going into TWRP I get 0mb as internal

so when I format and then go back into my load up the screen after SAMSUNG says "verification failed" and then reset

on the bottom. I tried other options as well. Without even wiping on TWRP the devices boots up into the setup wizard for the firmware fine

but after I wipe TWRP so I can get access to my internal drive my samsung boots into that verification reset screen. Got any clue as to how I can

resolve this issue? Thanks a bunch!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Mkami:
Hey! Thanks for your reply, will this work for PIE? I can't downgrade from PIE to OREO

and I don't know if GSI even works properly on my device
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] veekay:
Have you tried just reloading the latest stock firmware from scratch?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] :
Yup, its unfortunate that there isn't much community support for this device. The Tab S4 is Project Treble supported and a few GSI ROMS do work. But as others have said they are unstable and not for use as a daily driver. We have a few discussion threads here talking about them.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Mkami:
Would that work? If I did that I would still be able to download and install TWRP and have a root? Because of it being PIE
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Mkami:
I am going to do more research on these projects because I really wish there was more ROMs its quite an amazing tablet but the potential with the stock ROM lacks a lot

Generic System Image (GSI) list :

https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list

you can try only "Android 9 Pie" official or unofficial gsi roms..

and remember ! Some GSIs roms maybe are not compatible with some devices! you can ask for your device on each thread

(for example look here): https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/777

(usually this Gsi aosp 9 phh, generally works on most devices...BUT! ask first,and discuss it in the thread)

Can I do this without stock ROM and only TWRP? Because having the stock ROM is disabling my twrp to function without wiping and if I wipe than my stock ROM doesn't work

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] daitalos:
Sorry,but I don't understand what do you mean " without stock rom and only twrp"...

you can install a Gsi rom, with two ways

Via TWRP, or Via Fastboot : https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/ (Tab S4 is a-only arm64)

for any other question, it is better to ask in the thread : https://xdaforums.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development/aosp-9-0-phh-treble-t3831915

(read carefully in OP & you can post,every single question there for your device,and you will get certainly help from the developer or from any other user..) :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] veekay:
You are going to have to just wipe it and start over from square one, unless you made a TWRP backup before starting all of this.

Download and flash the latest stock rom from recovery and then you can load twrp again.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] champ784:
I was looking at the possibility of using GSI's on some devices, and while they can offer new life to older devices, they're not entirely stable all the time unless you're willing to make your own changes. I know Lineage has made some excellent progress, but it's not fullproof yet and I wouldn't try it unless you're willing to not use your device as a daily use device.

I had an extra T-Mobile Revvlry which is basically a rebranded Moto g7 Play that I installed the Lineage GSI image and it works fairly well. However, this is more the exception to the rule and Moto devices, I feel, are far simpler in design vs certain Samsung devices. It also had a ton of trial and error involved for me to get it up and running properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] slipnslider:
Is it possible as the s4 becomes older, more people buy it and Samsung stops releasing official updates that someone will come along and create a ROM for it? Or is it more like Samsung locked the bootloaders and its close to impossible to write a ROM for it? Is it still possible to root the s4?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] daitalos:
Read very carefully without rush ! for " WETA Kernel + Encryption disabler " etc

especially, read the user comments carefully, and ask on the thread for any questions you have..

Thanks. I took a quick peak at the roms and kernels in the roms and kernels forum and they are pretty much all abandoned.

Someone did mention that the LOS 16.0 and ArrowOS GSI's work alright but are a bit buggy.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] daitalos:
samsung,maybe at the end of july to give the upgrade to android 10....it is very likely to happen I think

yes,all Gsi Roms still have various problems unfortunately...

my opinion is: stay to stock rom for now....you can "uninstall" many applications if you want & without root, via "samsung package disabler"(paid) from playstore, or with this way:

https://beebom.com/how-remove-bloatware-android-without-root/

also,you can Install "NiceLock Downloader Companion App" ,to add some features on your device : https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-9/themes/nicelock-module-download-links-module-t3923844

with this way I operate my device until now..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] slipnslider:
Awesome thanks for the tips, I've never heard of NiceLock - this gives me just the customization I was looking for. Also good to hear I can root. I root all my devices and know how to be careful :). Between root, NiceLock and hopefully getting Android 10 I should be set. And who knows, maybe in the future someone will release a lineage ROM for the tab s4

Hey my friend I tried flashing GSI img of lineage os17 but it doesnt load it just hangs on the first boot screen of samsung. And then after a long while just boots right into TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] daitalos:
you can try to install "dm verity - Forceencrypt " + magisk, and perhaps your device will booting...

*(Format data this is not the same as wipe data!)

So, Reboot on twrp > format data > flash magisk > flash "dm verity-forceencrypt" & Reboot device

Android 10 GSI ROMS don't boot on the Tab S4. Use LOS 16 and make sure dm-verity is disabled.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] daitalos:
Νot yet...I don't need it yet on this device

I told you,android 10 Gsi rom maybe can't boot on this device! So, you can try only with Gsi 9 if you want , but this is not logic I think :)

thank you, I am bit disapointent, the tablet is ok I bought a few weeks ago for 300 euros with oficial cover keywoard, looks a great deal but I am wondering if we doen´t have more updates than android 10 and no rooms if is still worth it or should return it, I have also a galaxy tab s2 with linage os and works pretty well but lacks of spen and batery drains so quickly now. I was thinkg that tab s4 will have at least some scene but seems dead.

Do you think we are gonna to have any roms in the future? Do you have root the tablet¿
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] veekay:
I don't think there will be any official roms - probably ever. The best chance will be once we get the Q update and can run the newer GSI's, but will most likely still have broken features.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] lolwatpear:
Treble is terrible... all these great devices left in the dust at the last major update the manufacturer released. And even then, they are still unstable.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] veekay:
Might have better luck once Q hits, then we can flash a greater variety of roms that actually have updates. It is a shame how people abandon older versions as soon as the newest is available - I think 9 is superior in many ways, but no one is working on them anymore so no fixes.

I just see black screen with fire tv now. It doesn't show up when I type adb devices anymore. I was running commands on it left and right.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pretoriano80:
TWRP is still there when you restart/boot the stick? (you have to use OTG y cable + mouse in order to check that).

If TWRP is still there, then you can use it to restore a full stock rom or flash the system image.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michajin:
What custom rom (there isn't one available for the 4k)? From a linux install try a lsusb and see if anything is there (preloader or phone). When you were running commands, were you in the hacked fastboot? As [MENTION=2642882]Pretoriano80[/MENTION] said, get in into twrp and flash, here is a link to the latest to flash to restore, but hopefully you made a backup for you started.

TWRP was there but after performing /systemwipe i just see that black screen with firetv logo on the screen it skips the TWRP :/ nothing shows up when i type in adb devices (Minimal ADB and Fastboot) like before it would give a serial number and connected status. nothing in adblink either.

i did ordered that cable like 1 month ago it's not here yet. I might ordered another one today from amazon. I was wondering isn't there any software which can turn laptop keyboard to firestick keyboard from some commands? Adb link has remote which i can use ONCE it's inside the fireOS. A physical keyboard with OTG cable is must for this ? Any alternative ?

and i did search all the first 3 pages of the forum to find the stock rom for 4k firestick but couldn't may be because its was 3 am lol

Thanks for the reply!

was trying to find the stock rom to install but was installing tank one which i think is for another version for fireos stick? i don't know what i was doing x_x Can you please put more light on that lsusb? how does it work? i don't know if i was in hacked fastboot it had fully unlocked bootloader...hmm?

Thanks for the stock rom link, i wished i would have found that last night earlier but i guess it's too late now ._. i will try the hardware mod again but it's not detecting it. i also broke one of the chip before, the hardware mode still went last night earlier so it should work again ?

Why you installed tank rom in mantis...

Redo kamakiri and flash prerooted.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michajin:
Sounds like you unlocked. Did you make it to twrp?

Lsusb is a Linux command in terminal that will show what is connected. This will tell what mode it is in. I broke a chip off one of mine too (tweezers were a bad thought), but that was 7 months ago missing it and it still runs like the rest of mine sticks. The 4k is called mantis, tank is the fire stick2. Totally different.

I just literally just did that process again after like 7th try but it's still the same not showing up anywhere and black screen with firetv logo. Attaching the picture of the final process, does that mean it's good? it doesn't look like the first process ending.

Thanks !
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rortiz2:
That shows you an obvious error in the fastboot step.

Try using a different cable and be sure to do the process from an 2.0 Port.

Since the bootROM part is already done, just type:

sudo ./boot-fastboot.sh

Connect the stick WITHOUT SHORT ANYTHING and the script will ask to the Preloader to boot to Hacked Fastboot Mode.

When you see "Hacked Fastboot Mode" in the screen of the device, try running fastboot-step.sh again.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tune345:
sorry where am i entering that code exactly ? because that window was still open with the final error in the instructed directory and i entered that it said command not found so i connected it back to my other laptop and ran Minimal ADB and Fastboot and ran that command there...nothing..

then i went back to linux laptop and close the terminal and re opened a new one and ran that command again said command not found.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michajin:
You have unlocked and flashed recovery. Do you have a OTG (google if if you don't)? looks like you have TWRP now...

i have ordered last month, still not here yet. Might order another one from amazon today. isn't there any software which can convert laptop keyboard temporarily for firestick?

and this might be thinking too oddly but lets say i have a micro usb to usb adapter after i plug that in firestick can i take a usb to usb cable and plug it into usb hub? and then plug keyboard mouse usb drive in it ....all going to firestick via usb to usb cable finally converting the signal from usb to usb micro adapter. i believe i have a usb hub which can be powered...

X_X
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michajin:
No, it has to be a otg. On boot, it will detect it and automatically give you the option for recovery. If you can get into fastboot (you were there before when you ran fastboot.sh you might be able to boot into recovery with fastboot reboot recovery or something simalar. But being in recovery you wont be able to do much unless you have adb connections, or a mouse/keyboard with OTG. Amazon is basically shipping a week for everything right now. I think you really need a OTG to pull it out. ADB and fastboot commands can really screw things up from my novice experience. Get that OTG and try it. I will warn, get one that says it will work for the firestick4k, they dont all work....Make you you give a thanks to the people trying to help, no one is getting paid here... :)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tune345:
Thank you for that information. Appreciate it. Yea everything is late on amazon now even prime :/ but hopefully i find one which works on the first try otherwise it would be a super bumber...

..but then again how would i know if it's the otg NOT working OR the firestick software/hardware? i did broke one capacitor and was running commands on it like a mad man lol , i believe the CLK one on the picture. what it is for ? why was the firestick still working almost normally after i broke it ? attaching the picture

Thanks again !
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michajin:
There are some that say they work. The ones i have had issues with are the OTG hubs. Depending on which chip was damaged, but i broke one off of mine too about 7 months ago (tweezers are bad) but it has been working the same as the rest of mine. could be a heat thing?
