Hi,
I have a mate 8 L29.
I was on "SimplyGoogle" B172 and wanted to go to KangVip B331.
I follow the OP instructions (at least i think...).
"Guide:
Search your bootloader unlock code, you'll need it later!
Download B321 from here (THX to ajsmsg78)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=66719078

Copy it to your PC! Use Huawei update extractor to extract boot, system, cust
Done
Remove your google account from yiur system!! Very important!!
Reboot to recovery
Full wipe including internal sd
Done...But here i think a made a BIG mistake...instead of wiping, i've done a format i think...
Flash the downloaded zip containing the update app.
Done
reboot to bootloader
flash boot cust system
Done
reboot and wait until chinese screen disappears."
Here, i get stuck with the message "Your device is booting now..."
I'm stuck here... I've try SwissKnife with the "unbrick" part...no result...tried to fastboot flash B170 version to get back to normal...No success.
Tried the 3 button with the dload on my sdcard....worked ones but get stuck at 5%. Since then, no access to it...
So now, i've no recovery...i can access to Erecovery, but i get this message "Getting package info failed"...
I can access fastboot too...but nothing else
Can someone help me please ?
Thanks in advance
Frank

You will need
1) Huawei Update Extractor ( please check the attachment)
2) SRK tools
3) B170 stock firmware.
4) B321 stock firmware (you need to extract files from this ) - check the below steps.
please check this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66776218&postcount=2 . It has everything.
Below are the steps from the above link - for L29 users. Please see below - I marked my comments in red for better understanding.
1. Start from stock B170 firmware with TWRP ready
2. Extract BOOT, CUST, RECOVERY, SYSTEM from B321 UPDATE.APP
3. Add firmware .zip file (which contains META-INF folder and UPDATE.APP) and place it into internal storage [ this is B170 zip just putting it in SDcard file ]
4. Make sure internal storage data is fully backed up
5. Delete All Accounts in Settings
6. Go to Recovery, Wipe Cache, Delvik Cache, Data, System
7. Flash that .zip file! (Getting errors is okay at this time) [This is what I didn't do before!] [ Flash that B170 zip file]
8. Boot straight to bootloader
9. fastboot flash boot, cust, and system [ this step is for flashing the extracted boot cust system from B321 ]
10. let it boot. Let it proceed with encryption process in chinese and fully boot into EMUI
11. NOW I'M AT EMUI 4.1!
12. Reboot to fastboot and fastboot flash insecure_boot and flash TWRP [this step - you can ask them why this is required ]
13. Reboot to recovery (TWRP) and then flash whatever rom you want to place in!
14. Enjoying it!

Hope this works out for you. Don't forget to :good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:
Hi,
as I did not find an English guide for rooting a BQ Aquaris M10 tablet and had some problems when trying to root my tablet, I want to post an guide how to root this tablet.
First of all:
- This guide is just from my experience and is not thoroughly tested. It's on your own if you risk bricking your device.
- If you get stuck in the process, in nearly all cases you can revert to stock with the MTK flash tool (can be found on mibqyyo.com) and the images provided by BQ on their website.
- I could not unlock the bootloader with the 1.X-Images (Lollipop), as the VolumeUp-Button didn't work in fastboot-mode and you need this button to confirm the unlock.
- Booting into recovery from start with VolumeUp and Power-Button. This doesn't work with the 1.X-images, too.
- This guide is not intended for users without experience in unlocking/rooting a device. If you don't know how to use adb, fastboot, recovery and things like that, don't try it!
- You will loose all your data during this process!!
Guide:
Modify boot.img, flash new firmware
SuperSU in systemless mode doesn't work on stock image, as the SuperSU installer can't extract boot.img. You have to repack boot.img.
I tried a SuperSU installer without systemless-mode, but device didn't even boot anymore afterwards.
This guide is derived from a Spanish tutorial on the HTCmania-forum ("Root M10 HD Marshmallow") by yquepongo. Thanks to him!
Get a firmware for your device from the BQ-website (should be Marshmallow, see above) and unzip it to a directory.
Extract the boot-verified.img in the firmware directory with a bootimg-extractor. There are various tools available.
I used bootimg.exe, because this was explained in the mentioned thread and I even used it with wine on Linux and it went well.
Search for cpiolist.txt in your extracted boot-verified.img and delete the first two lines:
mode:mtk
mtk_header_name:ROOTFS
Repack boot-verified.img and put it back in the firmware directory.
Flash the modified firmware with the MTK flash tool according to the tutorial on .mibqyyo.com (Title "Hard Reset for the smartphone range Aquaris and Aquaris E"). In short: Disconnect device, start Tool, load scatter file from firmware directory, choose firmware upgrade, start download, connect the device in power off state, download will start automatically.
This will delete all your data and put the device back to factory rom (hard reset)!!!
If you don't want to flash the complete firmware, you can flash only the boot-verified.img with "Download only" in the flash tool. I didn't try this and don't know if this is working.
Start your device, don't activate any security settings to prevent encryption of data partition.
Unlock bootloader, flash TWRP, install SuperSU
Enable developer settings on device and activate "OEM unlock" in developer settings.
Reboot into fastboot (adb reboot bootloader) and unlock bootloader (fastboot oem-unlock).
This will delete all your data!!! Reboot your system afterwards to make sure everything is still ok.
Do not activate any security settings and make sure your data partition is not encrypted!
The existing TWRP-image can't handle an encrypted data partition, you will end in a boot loop and have to start the whole process again!
Double check, your data partition isn't encrypted. (Settings - Security)
Reboot into fastboot (adb reboot bootloader) and flash the TWRP-image from the TWRP-site (fastboot flash recovery twrpxxx.img)
After reboot TWRP should start.
If you have checked that everything is ok (I would recommend a reboot into normal mode), you can install SuperSU with the standard-installer-zip in TWRP.
If you didn't modify your boot.img, the installer will give a warning that it cannot extract boot.img and you will not find any SuperSU on your system.
If you get stuck in bootloop afterwards you can start anew and try it with another image flashed with MTK flash tool. (Firmware 2.2.0 from December 2016 for freezerhd worked in my case)
Maybe some steps could be shortened, but I haven't tried it.
hi zrfl,
i have a bq aquarius m8 with mm os.
the m8 has the same resolution (1280x800)

Sorry, but I can't help you there, as the M8 seems to be too different to the M10: I didn't have to unlock the boot.img, it was easy to unpack.
hi zrfl,
thanks for your reply. i contacted the developer osmOsis from the android image kitchen.
he will implement the bq specials in his tools.
more in the AIK thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073775&page=108
this is the only way to root this device !!
thanks a lot ...
Thanks for this tutorial.
I've followed all the step, I'm able to flash the new recovery from the TWRP website but then I do a
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
but the device reboot normally, just with a warning message during boot saying something like "This device is unlock and can't be trusted, it will boot in 5 seconds".
So I'm unable to access TWRP recovery, I guess when the device reboot it override the recovery partition because if I do a
Code:
adb reboot recovery
I end up in the Android recovery not TWRP.
Any idea ?
Thanks

Sorry, I have done this a long time ago and don't know what could be wrong:
You have the correct message, so unlock was successfull
You try to reboot in fastboot, so you flashed TWRP correctly in fastboot-mode
And I don't have the device at hand to try it myself. But I do have a few suggestions, what you could try:
Don't try to shorten procedure with unlock and flashing of TWRP at once. I'm not sure, but I think I had problems when I tried this. So do a normal reboot after unlock, before booting again into fastboot and flashing TWRP. (Now you have done this already )
I don't remember the proper boot command after flashing of TWRP. But
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
doesn't make sense: You are already in bootloader.
Is there a boot-option in the bootloader where you could choose recovery?
Otherwise better power off and use the key-combination for booting into recovery: VolumeUp+Power.
I think, you have to repeat the procedure, as recovery seems to be overwritten: Boot into fastboot, flash TWRP, reboot into recovery. And avoid normal booting before first boot into TWRP!
Did you use the newest TWRP 3.1.0 from March 8th? I haven't tried this yet, so there could be the problem. You could try the previous one: 3.0.2 from last year.
Thanks, I succeed with the combo key (power + vol up) directly after the reboot process
Perfect it's working great now !
I did exactly what you wrote but SuperSU won't install because it cannot extract the ramdisk...
Hi @zrfl
Thanks for your posting!
I did as you suggested and successfully unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP 3.1.1. Your hint to modify the boot-verified was extremely helpful, as I wouldn't be able to unlock the bootloader otherwise.
However, I did not manage to install super su. And boy, I tried many different versions od regular/system/systemless supersu, each flashed according to the respective how-to.
I ended up either in a bootloop, or get stuck on the Android logo at boot.
Flashing goes well until this step:
"Decompressing ramdisk
--- Failure, aborting"
I checked ramdisk compression of boot with Carliv image Kitchen and it tells me that it already is set to "gz" and not another compression TWRP can't handle.
Please help me on how to flash SuperSu.
Thanks and best
Tom
There is something wrong: TWRP does not need a modified boot.img.
Maybe newer ROM-versions are different.
Solution for geting root on BQ M10 FHD on stock rom 2.6.2: Start with a fresh system and install magisk beta (not stable), reboot and root is granted!

Are there any Custom ROM's
For this Tablet like CM/LineageOS AOSP etc?
Googling reveals nothing and Considering all the kernel mods like hardcore and Ubuntu touch I find it hard to believe that nobody has built one of the later.
I've been searching for custom ROMs too. Apparently, there are none available at present. However, I'd highly appreciate lineage rom.
I have one Mate8 TL00(china mobile) 32G , OTA to B577(android 7.0)
Now i use srk tools unlocked bootload ,flash twrp recovrey. Rooted it. All OK
But when i use srk tool change omeinfo &custom bin to eu(c432),the phone can`t reboot into system.
I try to download recovrey in eRecovery, always failed(Getting package info failed)
Now the phone only can reboot into fastboot mode.
Please tell me how can fix the phone?
Thanks a lot
SRK tools backup custom.bin and omeinfo, How can i flash them back to the phone?

I realize this is a very old post, but in hopes that the information will be helpful to any current device owners, I'll address the question:
The AT&T Alcatel IDEAL (4060a) ships with a fully.unlocked bootloader. As such, installing TWRP custom recovery is simple to do once root of the stock OS is attained. NOTE: fastboot mode has been disabled on the 4060a by Alcatel (TCL). Trying to boot to bootloader mode from recovery or using the command
adb reboot recovery
from a terminal or command prompt will only reboot the device. Without fastboot mode, recovering a bricked device is very problematic unless the device will boot into TWRP recovery mode. From TWRP, a stock Android 5.1.1 ROM can be installed which will recover your device to its stock factory state. In the unfortunate event your device is hard bricked (unable to boot into either the OS or TWRP recovery mode), your only option is to push stock firmware to the device using a firehose programmer via Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader (9008 mode), also known as Emergency Download Mode (EDL).
Please !!!, where do I find the "firehose programmer file" for the AT & T ALCATEL 406

I "accidentally" flashed twrp into erecovery partition.then long story short i only have access to fastboot twrp from erecovery.which cannot do much mounting apparently.and ff is down or something couldnt download anything.so my device is kinda bricked.i had a dload firmware from oreo which isnt supported by current module. so please humble people of xda community with a mate 9 MHA-L09 take a backup of your erecovery image from pie and share.save meee.
Link to my copy of MHA-L29-9.1.0-252:
File on MEGA
mega.nz
IMO, it should not matter if yours was L09 but I don't know would it work if you had other Pie than 9.1.0-252
Once you un-arj, find update.zip, unzip and use Huawei Update Extractor (search for its thread on XDA) to extract eRecovery img
However, you can try the following:
- boot to TWRP you flashed to eRecovery (connect to USB charger and power up by keeping pressed Vol+)
- from TWRP, backup Recovery (supposing you didn't mess up Recovery, too)
- restore your Recovery backup to eRecovery
I.e., generally, Recovery and eRecovery images should be the same (at least, they were in Oreo)
But I don't know if you really only flashed TWRP to eRecovery - in that case you should still be able to boot to System, to Recovery or to your TWRP in eRecovery - if yours boots only to Fastboot, then it must be more seriously bricked
Otherwise, you can search for MHA-L09 at:
Search - AndroidHost.RU
Check multiple download links at the same time.
androidhost.ru
to find your 9.x firmware, to unpack and extract eRecovery img as described above.
Actually, most of the firmwares there should be Huawei official Service Repair versions - if so, they contain official Huawei Installation manual describing how to use them for DLOAD installation (to unbrick the phone)
Thanks i used dload method.ff by team mt is down i guess so it was really hard to find a 9.x based firmware.and also i messed up my recovery ramdisk by flashing magisk into it.noe um not sure if its worth all the hassle to root a Huawei device...
